PLAY BY PLAY
The Undisputed Era is here!
Roderick Strong leads the way as he, Kyle O’Reilly, Bobby Fish and Adam Cole BAYBAY walk to the ring. Cole is still the NXT Champion, but clearly he is the only part of the golden prophecy that survived Toronto. “Boys and girls, I did everything that I said I would.” Cole beat Gargano in Toronto and retained HIS NXT Championship! Fans cheer for Cole as he continues. People are saying Cole had the performance of a lifetime, and now it is no longer a question that Cole is the greatest NXT Champion ever! If there was an NXT Mount Rushmore, it wouldn’t have Gargano, Ciampa, Nakamura or even Balor. It would just be Cole four times. Strong can see it now, such a beautiful thing.
But the four of them should be #DrapedInGold. The Undisputed Prophecy has not been fulfilled, and do you know why? They got screwed! Strong and reDRagon got screwed! So to cut to the chase, Velveteen Dream didn’t pin Strong, he pinned Pete Dunne. That means the North American Championship is on borrowed time. As soon as Dream stops ducking Strong, Strong will fulfill his part of the prophecy! Well said, Roddy, well said. And in order to win a tag team match, you pin the legal man! Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, here is exhibit A. Slow motion footage shows Fish was tagging O’Reilly! O’Reilly may not be a lawyer, but he rests his case. Fish says it is clear to anyone with working eyes that they did NOT lose in Toronto! Regal, “you silly prat,” do your job and make this all right!
Cole agrees with all his teammates. What is right is a GOLDEN Undisputed Era! Fish and O’Reilly are the greatest tag team in NXT History, and they will regain those titles. Strong already has his name on that North American title. They are just two steps away from fulfilling this prophecy and completely running NXT, to make it truly undisputed. The four put up the Undisputed hand signs before heading out. But as they reach the ramp, they’re met by Mr. Breakout, Jordan Myles! Cole tells Myles to take a time-out. Fans duel as Myles stares down the Undisputed Era. Is Myles joking right now? He’s not using his Breakout contract on Cole, is he? Because Cole saw Myles before, and says that if Myles makes a mistake of choosing him, Cole will break that smile off Myles’ face.
Maybe Myles should challenge Shayna Baszler. No wait! Use it to go to NXT UK or even 205 Live. Because those guys aren’t Adam Cole Baybay. Myles doesn’t move so maybe he doesn’t understand. There is nothing more damaging and detrimental to a young career than wasting a career shot on Adam Cole. And if Myles still wants to, Cole promises to make his career an undisputed failure. Myles still serves the contract to Cole. And then drops it at his feet. Myles puts up double peace, but will Myles get himself a piece of stopping the Undisputed Prophecy?
NXT Media catches up with Bronson Reed.
After a good experience in the Breakout Tournament, Aussie-zilla is ready to take on more in NXT. He is the leader of Australian Strong Style, and he is NXT’s “resident thicc boy.” Shane Thorne comes by to tell Reed that William Regal is too busy for him, and already gave Reed an opportunity. And Reed blew it. After all Thorne did to get Reed here, Reed wasted them all time. Then how about Thorne give Reed a chance in a match. Reed knows it’s a bad idea to pick a fight with Thorne. But yeah, let’s do it. Will The Worst get the better of Reed? Or will Thorne learn how much Aussie-zilla has changed since they were both Down Under.
Mansoor VS Damien Priest!
The Saudi Swagger returns as Mansoor returns to action! Manny won the historic Super Showdown 50-Man Battle Royal, and is ready to show everyone that was only the beginning. But will he be able to stop the Archer of Infamy’s own rise in the ranks?
The bell rings and Priest powers Manny to a corner. Priest lets up but still looms over Manny in a corner. Manny shoves Priest but Priest shoves back. Manny boots Priest away then hops up top, only for Priest to yank him down! Manny hits off buckles and hits the mat hard! Priest comes back to BOOT Manny then clobber him down! Priest rams knees into Manny then clobbers him again. Manny gets to ropes but Priest toys with him now. Manny throws body shots but Priest rams his knee in again. Priest whips Manny but Manny stays on the apron. Manny slides in and throws forearms, only to get a BIG RIGHT! Priest laughs as he drags Manny back up. But Manny cradle counters, TWO!! Priest escapes in time, but he gets a dropkick! Manny dodges and runs to boot Priest back! Manny keeps moving, but runs into the choke grip! But he flips out of the slam to enziguri back!
Fans fire up with Manny but Priest comes running in. Manny dumps Priest out, then runs to FLY! Direct hit takes Priest down! But Priest is up fast, only for Manny to shove him into the ring. Manny slingshots, neckbreaker! Fans fire up as Manny drags Preist out, tornado but no DDT, discus lariat instead! Priest drags Manny up, crucifix lift, crucifix TOSS! Priest draws the bow and aims, to drag Manny up for the twisting facebuster, the Reckoning!
Winner: Damien Priest, by pinfall
The Archer continues to win, but will he #LiveForever? Only time will tell.
NXT is on the move!
The hit developmental brand is so big, it’s moving to cable television! USA Network will now have a two hour NXT every week starting September 18th! Be ready for a #MoreButBetter version of an already amazing product!
Mia Yim VS Vanessa Borne w/ Aliyah!
The Head Baddie in Charge came so close to taking the NXT Women’s Championship from the Queen of Spades, but couldn’t account the submission skills in Shayna Baszler’s legs were on par with her arms. For now, Mia just soldiers on because it’s never too late to try again. Will she shut up familiar foes in the Vision and her bougie bestie along the way?
The bell rings and Vanessa rushes Mia, just to put her on her guard. The two circle, and Vanessa kicks Mia low to put on a headlock. Mia endures the grind and reverses to her own headlock. Vanessa powers out but Mia runs her over. Things speed up and Mia throat chops Vanessa! But then Aliyah trips Mia up! Vanessa fireman’s carries to a Samoan Drop right away! Cover, TWO! #BorneBougie are both upset but Vanessa rams Mia into buckles. Vanessa stomps away but lets up at the ref’s count. Vanessa goes after Mia at the ropes and holds her upside down for a hanging Boston Crab! And then she spanks a “LOWER” sticker onto Mia’s lower half! Vanessa stomps Mia back into the ring while the “highers” soak up the heat. Vanessa pie faces Mia around, saying she’s “pathetic” and a loser.
Mia jabs back, so Vanessa SLAPS Mia! Mia gets mad now, and trips Vanessa up for some ground ‘n’ pound! Mia kicks and punches and CHOPS Vanessa in a corner. Rapid fire, even! Mia kicks Vanessa’s legs more, then CHOPS away again! Mia tosses Vansesa by her hair, then runs in for a CANNONBALL! Protect Ya Neck! Cover, Mia wins!
Winner: Mia Yim, by pinfall
The HBIC may not be the champ but she’s not going to be called a loser by snobs. Will the Blasian Baddie get one more shot against Bully Baszler?
Speaking of, here comes Shayna. The Submission Magician hears the fans duel as she tells Mia, “You are badass.” Mia fought Shayna and took her to places no other woman did. And Shayna saw it in Mia’s eyes. Mia has had to go some dark places to get out of the situations she’s been in. But Mia and Shayna don’t need to be enemies. They can be allies. Mia expects a sneak attack, and sees the Horsewomen coming. Shayna says it’s a cold business, but it’s nice and warm under her “dragon’s wing.” What does Mia say to this offer? Fans are divided, but Mia… says no with a punch to Jessamyn! Marina attacks and so does Shayna! They throw and stomp and kick Mia around, but referees hurry out to stop this. Shayna still gets shots in, but the beat down is done. Will Mia be able to win this fight alone when Shayna has her cohorts back?
A long-awaited rematch finally happens next week!
Back from injury, the Croatian Colossus returns to action to settle things with the Limitless One! “The reality is, the Universe has seen nothing yet.” Two hyper-athletes with a connection through their careers, you don’t see men this big and strong show such agility. Dijakovic is bitter and unsatisfied, but Lee has a pretty titanic chip on his shoulder, too. A count-out draw was not what anyone wanted, and things out of their control delayed this battle. It isn’t about wins or losses, but shattering through glass ceilings, reaching new heights and creating legacies. Will we feast our eyes on a triumphant return for Dominik Dijakovic? Or will we all bask in Keith Lee’s glory once again?
Shane Thorne VS Bronson Reed!
Still jaded over not being given his own opportunity, The Worst wants to show he’s better than the Breakout Tournament losers. He checked off Joaquin Wilde, but can he stop a determined Aussie-zilla?
The bell rings and either way, fans chant “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! OI OI OI!” Reed and Thorne circle, and Thorne quickly kicks Reed’s leg. Thorne circles and kicks Reed more, but Reed chases him to a corner. The ref backs Reed off but Thorne gets a quick kick on Reed’s leg. Thorne gets out and taunts Reed, then slowly gets back in the ring. Fans cheer Reed on and Reed blocks a kick to waistlock and slam Thorne to the mat. Reed sits on Thorne and that is enough to crush him! Reed drags Thorne up for an armlock, but Thorne pulls at the beard. Thorne puts Reed in the corner and kicks away on the leg! Thorne grinds his boot in Reed’s face but backs off at 4. Thorne has the arm but Reed whips out. Things speed up as Thorne jumps over Reed, but on the second time he gets caught for a SPINEBUSTER!
Thorne flounders to a corner, Reed gives Thorne a face wash! Reed drags Thorne up and trophy lifts, but Thorne slips out to chop block! Thorne clubs and kicks Reed to a corner but the ref counts. Thorne backs off and Reed gets up, but Thorne comes back for more strikes. The ref counts again and Thorne lets up at 4. Thorne scowls as he rakes Reed’s face! He really is The Worst as he swiftly KICKS Reed in the back. Thorne grins now as he trash talks Reed. Reed CHOPS Thorne from the mat! Then again! Thorne dropkicks Reed away, then runs corner to corner for a calf kick! Reed sits down and Thorne CANNONBALLS! “That’s how it’s done!” Cover, TWO!
Perhaps Thorne took too long bragging but he won’t let that bother him. Thorne tries a back suplex but Reed fights back. Thorne runs but into a powerslam! Reed and Thorne go to opposite ends, and Reed rallies with forearms and elbows! Samoan Drop! Thorne gets to a corner and Reed runs in, but Thorne boots him first. Thorne runs into Reed’s full body check! Then Reed drops a massive senton! Reed hits a big corner splash, then another. Thorne flops out of the ring but Reed won’t let that stop him. Reed goes out to the ramp, puts Thorne in, then climbs up top!? Fans fire up at the thought but Thorne trips Reed up! KNEE TRIGGER! Cover, Thorne wins!!
Winner: Shane Thorne, by pinfall
Thorne grins as he checks off another Breakout star! Will Thorne continue to bust through the rest of the bracket?
The Velveteen Dream is here!
The Experience is again wheeled out on his sofa by the #Dreamettes. The North American Champion has the fans chanting his name as always, and shows off the new merchandise. “The Dream’s T-Shirt, $30. The Dream’s shades, $10.” The Dream retaining his title in Toronto by pinning NXT UK’s Pete Dunne, priceless! One man, two, an entire locker room, Dream always ends up on top. Dream likes it best when he’s on top. That’s where the spotlight is. So as far as Strong goes, the spotlight is now on him. If he wants that 1v1, give Dream an experience he’s never seen before. But don’t take too long, because before you know it, #DreamOver. Dream rolls out in style, but will he have another dream match with Strong as NXT enters this new phase?
Championship matches have been made!
In two weeks, Jordan Myles will have his Breakout contract match with Adam Cole BAYBAY! Will Cole back up all his talk of breaking the real-life anime hero’s smile and ruining his career? Or will that smile be from ear to ear as Myles shuts Cole up?
But that’s not all, because next week, we get an NXT Tag Team Championship match! O’Reilly & Fish get one more shot at the titles against The Street Profits! Will reDRagon right a wrong? Or will Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins still have the gold around their waists to match the gold around their necks?
Matt Riddle VS Killian Dain!
The Beast of Belfast promised to do anything he had to, to take everything from everyone else. He started by targeting the Original Bro seemingly at random. A crash through the stage floor, then a fall off the stage side, and now we have a match that’s one fall to a finish. Will it finish in the ring? Or will things only escalate further?
When Riddle’s music hits, Riddle comes from the crowd and blindsides Big Damo! Dain is getting a taste of his own medicine! The referee backs Riddle off and Riddle kicks off the sandals into the crowd. The bell rings and the real fight is on!
Riddle kicks away on Dain but Dain clubs Riddle back. Dain throws Riddle out but Riddle’s in fast to throw hands and chops! Riddle backs Dain down but Dain knees those bad ribs. Riddle still swings, then roundhouses Dain out of the ring! Dain stays on his feet, but Riddle comes around the side for a FLYING BRO FIST! Riddle puts Dain in then throws big CHOPS from all sides. Dain throws body shots, then elbows away on Riddle’s head. Dain waistlocks but Riddle standing switches, rip cord but he gets Dain’s shoulder. Dain runs for the DIVIDE crossbody! Riddle is writhing and Dain drags Riddle up. Fans rally for the Bro but Dain has him in the corner for shots to the ribs. The ref counts but Dain does let up at 4. Dain drags Riddle up to whip him hard corner to corner.
Dain drags Riddle out for a big suplex! Cover, TWO! Riddle won’t go down so easily, but Dain seems to enjoy that. Dain fish hooks Riddle into a seated abdominal stretch. Fans rally as Riddle endures the pain in his ribs. Dain pushes as hard as he can, then hammers Riddle down to the mat. Riddle crawls to a corner but still throws hands. Dain kicks the ribs and Riddle rolls away. Dain wraps Riddle’s arm on the ropes to kick away! Dain grinds his feet into Riddle’s ribs! Riddle gasps for air but Dain chokes him. Dain backs off at 4 and fans still rally for Riddle. Riddle throws hands but Dain knees low again. Dain gives Riddle a gutbuster then a rear mount for a mounted abdominal stretch! Riddle endures and fans still rally. Riddle slips around and starts throwing haymakers.
Dain backs off but comes back for another suplex. Riddle fights out and manages to Fisherman Suplex Dain down! Fans are fired up as Riddle and Dain glare at each other. Dain throws a forearm but Riddle returns it. They go back and forth, Riddle fires off fast palm strikes! Riddle boots, then spins Dain around for a PELE! Dain ends up in a corner, Riddle manages a kip up! Riddle goes side to side for a forearm, then another the other way. EXPLODER! Riddle powers through his pain to kick. Dain ducks it then dodges the moonsault, but not the Broton! Penalty Kick hits this time, cover, TWO! Riddle grits his teeth as he drags Dain into a stretch of his own. Riddle throws elbows in over and over, but Dain catches the arm! Dain uses that to roll Riddle around, but Riddle keeps control and starts throwing more hands! The ropebreak forces Riddle off, but now Riddle grins.
Riddle drags Dain but Dain holds ropes. Riddle kicks the arms off the ropes but Dain kicks Riddle off his legs. Dain scoops Riddle but Riddle slips out to a waistlock. Riddle manages a German Suplex!! But not the bridge because of the ribs. Both men are down but fans are fired up. Riddle and Dain slowly stand, and Riddle rip cords, BRO TRIGGER! Dain is rocked, but comes out of nowhere with a shotgun dropkick! Then a CANNONBALL in the corner! Cover, TWO!! Riddle survives and Dain is furious. Dain hammers the ribs, drags Riddle up to a fireman’s carry, wasteland slam to senton, BROMISSION! Dain rolls and fights to his feet, but Riddle just hops on. Riddle throws elbows but Dain throws him! Riddle tries a fireman’s carry, BRO TO SLEEP! POWERBOMB! Flip over, FINAL FLASH!! Cover, TWO!?!
Full Sail is thunderous as Riddle drags Dain around again. Riddle climbs up, FLOATING BRO onto knees! Dain rams Riddle into a post! Riddle flops to the floor and Dain follows after. Dain has wild eyes as he runs around the corner, only to get steel steps! Riddle pushes the top half of the steps aside to drag Dain onto the base. Riddle can’t lift Dain, Dain back drops Riddle onto his head! Dain puts Riddle on the steps, runs over, BACK SENTON!! Dain crushes Riddle again! The referee counts and Dain drags himself into the ring. To then drop a Vader Bomb off the apron! Dain wants to make Riddle a pancake! Dain puts Riddle in the ring and goes to the corner. He climbs up, for another Vader Bomb! But he won’t stop there, a third Vader Bomb! Big Damo will not stop, he climbs for a FOURTH! Cover, Dain wins!
Winner: Killian Dain, by pinfall
Riddle wheezes and coughs up blood as the Beast of Belfast stands tall. Is Dain finally done destroying the Bro? And if so, who will be his next target?
As Dain leaves, he boasts that he’ll reach the title first and Riddle never will. But Riddle gets up and follows Dain to the back! Somehow, there is still fight in the Bro as he jumps on Dain with another Bromission! They brawl into the shadows of the backstage area, will this fight rage on off-air?
My Thoughts:
Wow, what an incredible episode! And just as the news of NXT on USA breaks. We got a really good promo from the Undisputed Era, and it goes exactly as you’d expect from them. Things are slowly building towards a Winners Take All WarGames match, even though we’re still getting individual title matches in the next few weeks. I can’t be sure if reDRagon wins the tag titles, but we will definitely get another TakeOver worthy match, unless someone in the Era interferes. But even then, that might be how this extends to WarGames III. Same goes for Cole VS Myles in a couple weeks. Myles’ part in the opening segment was great, he didn’t need to talk, just toss the contract down like he was throwing down the gauntlet. The match will be great, but I don’t think Myles wins while also taking the title. Champion’s Advantage might help Cole out in that case, again prompting Winners Take All at WarGames.
One thing I do need to point out about the opening segment is that Adam Cole implies the Breakout contract could’ve gotten Jordan Myles a shot at the Cruiserweight Championship. As of right now, 205 Live does crossovers with NXT, but it shouldn’t be privy to a stipulation of “any NXT championship.” Is this a subtle way of saying 205 Live could be cancelled and the Cruiserweights join NXT? Everyone’s been wondering, and “rumors” born from this line of questioning have been flying around, but nothing has been put out by WWE. Honestly I’m not sure what would be “best for business” but I highly doubt Cole misspoke in his promo.
We got a solid match from Mia and Vanessa, and Shayna’s part after was pretty good. I like the idea that she was trying to recruit Mia just to remove a contender from the Division, and of course Mia refused. Mia likely is going to get another shot on the road to WarGames, but I wonder how they make this last the three months until then. Shane Thorne’s story can definitely go for quite some time since he seems to be going through the Breakout Tournament superstars. His match with Reed tonight was good stuff, and he still the other six left. This is honestly great for all of them, Thorne is a great wrestler despite NXT inexplicably dropping the ball with The Mighty. I suspect Cameron Grimes will be saved for last, with Myles probably not being used if he’s going to be in that WarGames match on Team Not Undisputed Era. Grimes VS Thorne will be a solid match, and I could see Thorne trying to run away only to be stopped by the other Breakout superstars at the ramp.
Dream had a great little promo from his mobile sofa. Again going in line with the Undisputed Era’s prophecy and the potential of a Winners Take All WarGames, Dream sets up a program with Strong for the next phase, but don’t count out Dunne just yet. Dream might face each of them individually as NXT moves to USA. And last but not least, Riddle VS Dain itself was truly TakeOver worthy! It was brilliant for Riddle to sneak attack like Dain did when this all started, and then there were some really good spots. I honestly couldn’t be sure about that steel steps part, though. Was Riddle meant to kayfabe hit his head there or did he narrowly save himself from a shoot injury? Either way, I was also surprised Riddle was booked to get back up like that. Is this leading us to Riddle VS Dain, Last Man Standing? I hope so, that will be even crazier! And then one of these two can move on towards a title. For all I know, with three months to figure this out, it could be Riddle joining Team Not Undisputed Era in WarGames this year.
My Score: 8.5/10

Ratings:
- The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System: Rascalz win via Meteora – ***

Results:
The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System
Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb.
Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.
KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.
AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.
Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali
Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.
Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.
Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.
This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”.
ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee
ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.
Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!
Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber
Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.
.@milanmiracle and @AriannaGraceWWE make history as the first father/daughter tag team in TNA!

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa
Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.
Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.
International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona
A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.
Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!
Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!
Overall Score: 4.5/10
Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?
Go home TNA, you’re drunk.

In Ota, the best wind will blow.” Yoh drops the mic to leave it at that. Will that wind be the winds of change? Or will Yoh fail to bring down The Mighty Japanese Young Punk?
Here are the FINAL B Block standings!
YOH: 6-3, 12 points [FINALIST]
El Desperado: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
MAO: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
Taiji Ishimori: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie Eagles: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
SHO: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Nick Wayne: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Kevin Knight: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Titan: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ryusuke Taguchi: 3-6, 6 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
A great night to wrap round nine and therefore the round robin portion. No repeat BOSJ finalists, which is actually great because now we’ve got a fresh match-up. Taguchi VS Knight was still a great match for not affecting outcomes, and Knight gets to return to AEW with a win. The flipside is Titan gets a win over Nick Wayne, I really do think it books itself, Nick VS Titan for the ROH World TV Championship on Grand Slam: Mexico. Christian Cage can even be condescending to Nick over how Nick didn’t make it to the finals, adding to that feud. Nick can beat Titan in the rematch, then get in Christian’s face to make a match for All In: Texas, or at least Supercard of Honor where ROH titles should be showing up anyway.
Great stuff with Mao and his team against Sho and the House of Torture. I was pleasantly surprised that Mao won, and I wonder if the House of Torture goes to a DDT Pro show to battle it out with Strange Love Connection. Mao winning also added great drama to the remaining matches, Despy VS Eagles was awesome stuff, probably the actual best match of the night. Yoh VS Taiji wasn’t quite as hot going by the crowd, but Yoh getting the win to shut the door on Despy was good. Yoh VS Fujita will be great, a bit hard to call, but that makes it fun.
My Score: 9/10
