Noam Dar VS Ashton Smith!

The Scottish Supernova is still riding high after cheating and beating former friend, Kenny Williams. But can he do the same to the Prestige of Manchester here tonight?

The bell rings and Dar circles with Smith. They tie up and go around, and Smith powers Dar to a corner. Dar pushes him away and Smith backs off. Fans duel and sing as Dar circles with Smith again. Dar gets Smith’s arm and wrenches it to a wristlock. Smith rolls and kips up but Dar catches him to a takedown! Dar slaps the hand then brings Smith around for an armlock. Dar wrenches but Smith rolls through again. Smith reverses the wristlock while on the mat, and then backwards monkey flips Dar down! Dar gets up fast and gets a ropebreak. Smith backs off but sees the sucker punch coming. He can’t do anything about the low headbutt and shoulder tackle, though. Dar runs but Smith keeps up to dropkick Dar down! Cover, TWO! Smith has Dar in a corner but Dar resists the whip. Smith wrenches and rams his shoulder, then whips. But Dar reverses, only to run into a stiff back elbow!

Smith hops up but Dar says his eye is damaged. But again, Dar is known to play it up. Smith runs in and Dar puts him on the apron! Dar ducks the lariat to sweep the legs! Then he dropkicks Smith off the apron and to the floor! Dar gets the better of Smith, even with Smith seeing through his fake. The ring count isn’t fast enough for Dar, though, he puts Smith back in. Dar stomps Smith’s legs then wrenches the arm to a shoulder breaker. Dar grinds Smith down and tries a ghost pin, TWO! Fans duel as Dar tries a normal cover, TWO! Dar has Smith in the armlock but fans rally up. Smith fights his way up and out, but Dar blocks one kick, and catches the enziguri into an ankle lock! Dar backs to a corner but Smith rolls and throws him off! Smith runs and lariats Dar down!

Fans fire up as Smith fires up. The dueling continues, but Smith counter punches Dar with big body shots and uppercuts. Smith whips but Dar reverses again. Smith dodges to BOOT Dar, then runs to come back with a big knee! And then a shotgun dropkick! Cover, TWO! Smith keeps going, bringing Dar back up. Dar slips out of the underhooks to sweep the legs, run and clobber Smith from behind! Cover, TWO!! Dar grows frustrated with Smith showing his grit! Dar prepares to end this. He takes aim, but Smith is still down. Dar drags Smith up, but Smith tricks Dar! Cradle, TWO! SUPERKICK! And then Smith climbs, but the leg lariat misses! Dar runs back out, NOVA ROLLA! Cover, Dar wins!

Winner: Noam Dar, by pinfall

Dar’s tricks didn’t work on Smith, but Smith’s trick didn’t work on Dar, either. Will Mr. 11 find himself fighting for gold after Cardiff? Or does he have a lot of work still to do before getting another title shot?

In-ring interview with Noam Dar.

Another victory for quite the run in NXT UK. Dar tells Radzy that when he put the transfer request in, he could’ve gone anywhere in the WWE. The only reason the “dafties” get to see Dar here is because of the “big, fat, delicious” contract NXT UK offered him. By the way, that same contract comes with many benefits. The best one is a guarantee to be a star player in the “big games,” which means Cardiff will see the “golden boot” Supernova in action! Dar has a match on the biggest night for NXT UK yet, but who is going to be the lucky opponent benefiting from Dar’s guarantee?

 

NXT UK Media catches up with Tyler Bate.

The Big Strong Boy was seeing the UK Performance Center’s trainer doctor when he is asked about his thoughts of making it to Cardiff. Bate knows he’s outnumbered with Trent Seven not medically cleared and Pete Dunne somewhere else. But Bate is 100% now, and Walter will not disrespect the title anymore. In Cardiff, Walter VS Bate is 1v1, and Bate vows to become the first-ever two-time WWE UK Champion. Is this determination enough for the original champion to become the new champion?

 

The Grizzled Young Veterans are here!

And of course, the fans troll with “If you hate Gibson, shoes off~!” But Zack Gibson still takes the mic to introduce himself and James Drake, the inaugural NXT UK Tag Team Champions. A little bird has told them Gallus wants a title shot in Cardiff. Those Gallus boys have “been on quite an impressive streak.” But while they were beating Joe Blokes and Johnny Kickpads, the GYV have defended against the very best teams in the world! But before Gibson can say more, Gallus comes out! Mark tells Gibson, “We’ve not been petitioning. We’ve not been campaigning. Hell, we’re not even asking. We’re taking our championship match!”

But wait, it’s Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster! The Welshman Air Force is reunited as they join GYV and Gallus in the ring. “Whoa, guys. Alright, I’ll admit, you’re two of the best teams in the world right now. I’ll give you that.” But before talking title matches, don’t think that you can just show up in #Mandrews’ and the Modfather’s hometown and not have a TakeOver without them! Gibson asks “what on Earth makes you two melts that you deserve a shot at these titles?!” At least Gallus wins instead of being held together by tape. Gallus actually agrees. “Pipe down, junior. The big boys are talking.”

Flash refuses to be silenced. He knows he and Andrews can beat Gallus, and they can beat GYV. Gibson keeps the peace as Gallus gets heated. Before all of this gets going, the GYV are not here to compete. To diffuse the situation, it’s pretty obvious to everyone, GYV gets to go to Cardiff either way. But the others can argue until the cows come home, it’s ultimately up to Johnny Saint. Fans chant for Saint, but GYV says they’re going to leave everyone with this thought: “When NXT UK came ot Liverpool, I earned my spot.” In Blackpool, Drake earned a spot. In Glasgow, Gallus earned a spot. So if the Welshmen want to be in Cardiff, earn it! Either way, the titles remain grizzled. A big challenge put in front of Andrews and Webster, will they earn a spot in their hometown show?

 

NXT UK reflects on the rise of this brand.

From humble beginnings over two years ago to being on par with the rest of the WWE, everyone on the UK roster knows that TakeOver means everything. They all want to be on the show to prove to the rest of the WWE that they are the best.

Mark Andrews would be living a 15 year long dream to be in his hometown for such an event. Xia Brookside would love to get Cardiff to #FlywithBrookside. Even the PC coaches know the intensity and determination gets dialed up. El Ligero worked 18 years just to get here, so he wants to make it to that stage and inspire future superstars. Nina Samuels wants to be the leading lady but Killer Kelly wants to showcase what she’s all about. Jordan Devlin wants to know why he isn’t already the main event of Cardiff, but Travis Banks vows to not miss this TakeOver. Rhea Ripley succeeded once at a TakeOver already, so she wants to take things tot he next level. Who takes over in Cardiff?

 

NXT Media finds Travis Banks coming out of the GM’s office.

What was the Kiwi Buzzsaw talking with Johnny Saint about? Well first, Andrews and Webster come by to have their own talk with the boss. But back to Banks, it sucked he missed out in Blackpool. He promised himself to get to Cardiff, and talking with Saint, he has to earn his spot. Banks will earn his spot, but heard about Dar’s “guaranteed” spot. Saint confirmed to Banks that Dar was exaggerating. Dar still has to earn a spot, and he doesn’t work nearly as hard as the Buzzsaw. Will Banks cut Dar off on the road to Cardiff? Or has Dar found that opponent he needs?

Webster and Andrews return now!

That chat was fast. What did Saint tell them? Well after what GYV said, the Welshmen have to admit Gibson was right, even they need to earn a spot. Now the High-Fiving, Stage-Diving Rockstar has been on quite the tear, while the Modfather only just got back. They’re excited to reunite, and their goal is to get onto TakeOver. Therefore, they’ll use what time is left to rack up wins to prove themselves worthy. That opportunity is all that they need. Will they be able to earn a spot in the three weeks that remain?

 

Jinny & Jazzy Gabert VS Piper Niven & Xia Brookside!

The Spoiled Princess and the Alpha Female have been working together for the common goal of taking over the NXT UK Women’s Division. However, the Scottish Viper and the young star aren’t going to let them just have their way. Will Piper and Xia be able to down the dreams of this devious duo?

The teams sort out as the bell rings. Fans taunt Jinny as the “Spoiled Princess” as she starts with Xia. Jinny and Xia circle, then Jinny runs at Xia, only to get a dropkick! Xia clubs away on Jinny’s back, then whips her to the corner. Forearm smash and a tag to Piper and Jinny gets a splash! Tag back to Xia and Piper snapmares Jinny for Xia’s kick! Xia covers, TWO! Xia whips Jinny to a corner but runs into an elbow. Jinny runs at Xia for a big huricanrana! That sends Xia into the corner, and she backs off seeing Jazzy standing there. Xia turns around into Jinny’s STRONG right! Cover, TWO! Jinny stomps Xia viciously as fans boo and jeer. Jinny drags Xia up and tags in Jazzy. Jazzy throws big hands on Xia, then brings her out for clubbing forearms. Jazzy taunts Piper before going to Xia. She scoops Xia and spins around before slamming Xia down!

Tag to Jinny and Jinny is on Xia with furious forearms. Fans rally up but Jinny whips Xia to the corner. Xia elbows Jinny away then fights Jazzy off. Xia ducks and rolls to tag Piper! Piper clobbers Jinny with double ax handles! Piper scoops Jinny for a slam of her own! She glares at Jazzy before running in at Jinny. Jinny dodges and runs back, but the huricanrana is blocked! Piper buckle bombs Jinny into the corner! And dares Jazzy to tag in! Jazzy does, and now these powerhouses throw big forearms! Piper headbutts! And sits Jazzy down for the crossbody splash! Cover, TWO! Tag to Xia, and she becomes the human weapon, wheelbarrow splash! Piper adds a back senton! Xia covers, TWO! Jazzy survives but Xia brings Jazzy up. Jazzy powers out but Xia throws a forearm. Xia whips but Jazzy blocks to reverse. Xia dodges and tilt-o-whirls, but into a sidewalk slam!

Jazzy drags Xia over and tags in Jinny. Jinny stomps Xia and brings her up but Xia fights back! Xia snapmares Jinny but Jinny throws Xia out! Rhea Ripley is spotted coming down the ramp! The Mosh Pit Kid has unfinished business with Piper and Xia, but Jinny is on Xia first. Piper goes at Rhea while the ref isn’t paying attention! Rhea hits Piper from behind, and they end up going backstage! Xia is now alone as Jinny drags her in by her hair blue hair! The ref counts and Jinny lets up at 4. Jinny argues she knows the rules. Xia shoves Jinny, but Jinny ROUNDHOUSES her down! Cover, TWO!! Xia survives but it’s only her and the fans now. Jinny drags Xia up but gets a CODE BREAKER! But Xia has no one to tag to! Jinny crawls after her and grabs hair again. Jinny throws a forearm but Xia forearms back. They go back and forth as they stand.

Xia jawbreakers then runs to hit a facebuster! Xia fires up and runs at Jinny, tilt-o-whirl headscissors! Jinny flounders to a corner, and Xia runs in, Broken Wings meteora! Cover, TWO!! Jazzy shouts for Jinny to get up but Xia keeps moving. Jinny claws at Xia’s hair but Xia still fireman’s carries. But Jinny slips out and tags Jazzy! Xia whips Jinny but Jinny reverses. Xia boots Jinny then crossbodies onto her and Jazzy! Xia fires up but Jazzy blocks the code breaker to a lariat! Then a deadlift lift to the Canadian Rack, DOMINATOR! Cover, Jazzy and Jinny win!

Winners: Jazzy Gabert & Jinny, Gabert pinning

The combination of Alpha Female and Fierce Fashionista works out, but mostly because the Aussie with Attitude took away Xia’s teammate. Will Piper and Rhea settle things between them? Will anyone be able to stop the combination of brains, brawn and beauty of Jazzy and Jinny?

 

NXT UK takes another closer look at Toni Storm and Kay Lee Ray.

The first time Toni saw KLR, KLR was in ICW. Toni knew KLR was the real deal and wanted to be just like her. Toni started bubbly and eager, and KLR had so much fun competing with and against her. They have wrestled each other more times than any two women in NXT UK. KLR guarantees she knows Toni better than any other woman in NXT UK. Toni fights like her life depends on it, because it does. But KLR knows the keys to taking that title off Toni, and she won’t be stopped until she does.

 

NXT UK Media catches up with Ilja Dragunov.

But Kassius Ohno interrupts! Oh sorry about that, Unbesiegbar. Ilja is not happy with Ohno, and Ohno leaves for now. Ilja calms himself, but Johnny Saint has made a match for him and Ohno! Will Unbesiegbar unleash his wrath on the Wrestling Genius as TakeOver: Cardiff draws closer?

 

Dave Mastiff VS Joe Coffey!

The Bomber teamed up with The Hunt to stand against Gallus, but they could not overcome the Iron King and his forces. However, one loss did not break Mastiff, which only angered Joe. Will Joe muzzle Mastiff like he promised at the Download Festival? Or will Plymouth be rocked as Mastiff rolls through?

The bell rings and these two collide like rams! Neither falls and so the forearms start flying! Coffey throws body shots and then whips Mastiff, but Mastiff holds ropes. Mastiff sees Coffey coming and hip tosses him down! Cover, ONE! Msatiff is on Coffey in the corner and throws more hands. Coffey hits low then throws uppercuts. Coffey runs in but is put on the apron. He hits Mastiff first, then slingshots in, only for Mastiff to catch him! Coffey elbows out of the waistlock but Mastiff hits back. Mastiff waistlocks again, but Coffey holds ropes for dear life. Even the buckle! The buckle pad comes free and Coffey goes flying in the German Suplex! Coffey goes to the opposite corner, and Mastiff takes aim! But as Mastiff goes to the corner, Coffey runs out to SPEAR Mastiff into that bare buckle! It gets Mastiff right in the lower back!

Mastiff still throws hands, but Coffey’s body shot takes him down! Coffey goes after the gut and hips, but the ref counts as they’re against ropes. Coffey lets up just long enough for the ref to check. Mastiff refuses to quit so Coffey bumps Mastiff off buckles. Coffey throws more body shots then whips Mastiff into the buckles! And again! And then he manages a pendulum backbreaker! Coffey drops elbows on the bad back! Cover, TWO! Coffey drags Mastiff up, wrenches and locks an arm. Fans rally for “Dave! Dave!” and Mastiff powers up. But Coffey hits low and wrenches the arm again! Mastiff scoops but can’t keep Coffey up with that bad back. Coffey knees away and says “This is MY kingdom!” Mastiff headbutts point blank! And manages that scoop slam! But Mastiff collapses for the pain in his torso.

Coffey is up but it’s Mastiff who throws fast hands and uppercuts! Mastiff blocks and turns Coffey around for another German Suplex! But Mastiff is slow to stand. He still back drops Coffey! Mastiff has to catch his breath, but the hands keep flying! Mastiff clobbers Coffey and Coffey rolls out. Coffey checks his jaw, but he wobbles from perhaps being hit in the ear. Mastiff hurries to follow, but Coffey shoves him away. Mastiff clotheslines Coffey into the post! That might be another shot to the ears! Mastiff gasps from his bad back while Coffey tries to steady himself from bad ears. The ref has gloves because there’s blood in Coffey’s ears. Mastiff puts Coffey in and shows no mercy as he traps the arm to elbow away on the ear! Mastiff lets up and Coffey staggers away.

Fans rally for both men as they grit this out. Coffey manages an elbow shot, then hops up, but he wobbles! Mastiff throws him down, big back senton! Mastiff covers, TWO!! Coffey survives but he’s not doing any better than Mastiff. Mastiff runs and clotheslines Coffey onto the apron! Then Mastiff joins Coffey out there. He lifts Coffey but that bad back stops him from suplexing. Coffey SPEARS Mastiff into the post! Both men crash and burn to the floor, gasping and writhing! A ring count begins but neither man sits up until 5. Coffey and Mastiff go at each other, and throw one more big hand each! They both fall, and the count reaches 10!

Double Count-Out

Neither man cared about getting in the ring, they just wanted to destroy the other! Fans aren’t pleased, and neither Mastiff nor Coffey are satisfied. They refuse medical attention, but Gallus comes out to help their Iron King leave to fight another day. Sid Scala does his best to keep the peace, but Mastiff is chomping at the bit! Fans want to “Let Them Fight!” but when and where will that be?

 


 

My Thoughts:

A pretty good episode for NXT UK, with lots of good story progress for Cardiff. Dar VS Smith was a good opener, and of course Dar wins. And it’s pretty hilarious for Dar to claim he’s been given one of, if not the, cushiest contracts in NXT UK’s short history. But with the TakeOver: Cardiff hype promo with all the superstars speaking on what it means, and with the segment right after where Banks is looking to prove himself worthy of a spot, Dar VS Banks has to be happening. That match could go either way, and make for a solid feud as NXT UK continues forward. The NXT UK Tag title match takes a nice twist. I’m a little disappointed that they aren’t daring enough to go Heels VS Heels, but throwing Webster and Andrews in makes a lot of sense. Cardiff will get pumped knowing their hometown heroes are in the match, and a Triple Threat is the kind of match that can allow them to win and it not bury the other teams. Just not sure if the Welshmen do win, though…

The women’s tag match went as I expected. There was no real conclusion to Rhea’s and Piper’s story, so it was smart for them to use this story of Xia, Jinny and Jazzy to bring it back around. And maybe we get a second-ever Six Woman of Jinny, Jazzy and Rhea against Xia, Piper and Isla Dawn, as it felt like there wasn’t much of a conclusion for Isla’s part in the story. That would make a great “post-TakeOver” match for NXT UK. Ohno VS Ilja sounds like a great match for next week, and could go either way. And then we got a great match between Mastiff and Joe Coffey. The bad back for Mastiff, the ears for Coffey, and the double count-out were all great. These two guys could again be slugging things out for a midcard title, but at the same time, I want a new Six Man of Gallus VS Mastiff, Modfather and #Mandrews at some point given overlapping stories.

My Score: 8.2/10

Tonight’s contenders speak.

Lash Legend says that the time for her to rise to the top has come. The other three can step aside, because the Bougie Bully is winning tonight and returning to her hometown, the ATL, and walking out of Evolution the NEW NXT Women’s Champion. Izzi Dame says she would sit and hope for opportunities like this to present themselves. But being part of The Culling has made her realize there is no glory waiting in the darkness. So she stepped into the light, and looks to take a step closer to the gold. The Culling always prevails, and that Iz what it Iz.

Jaida Parker says there ain’t no ifs, ands or butts about it. She will do whatever it takes to get hers, and what’s hers is that title match at Evolution! So Jordynne, Izzi, and Lash all better find someone else to play with, Miss Parker’s got this on lock. #ClockIt! Jordynne Grace says she dominated the wrestling world outside of the WWE just to get here, and she did that by building her strength from scratch. There is nothing more motivating than desperation, and Jordynne didn’t come here to not be champion. She will get her hand raised tonight, and at Evolution, she will finally be the NXT Women’s Champion, because she has to.

Who does find the way to win their golden ticket to the Great American Bash? We’ll find out in tonight’s main event!

TNA Slammiversary is coming, and with it comes a rematch for this title! Will Hendry make us all believers once again?

 

The No Quarter Catch Crew talks backstage.

Tavion Heights & Wren Sinclair look at footage of him getting some stitches in over the weekend. Charlie Dempsey wishes Tavion luck, and Tavion says yeah, despite Dempsey’s best efforts. What’s that supposed to mean? Admit it, Charles! You know Tavion’s going to beat Je’Von Evans tonight and be free of NQCC. That’s why you purposefully hurt him during training. Wren says no, that was an accident, Charles cares about them. Sure he does. Wren says yes, that was just Charles’ way of pushing Tavion to be stronger. They’re family! Right, Charles? Dempsey says yes, of course they are. Tavion, that was an accident.

But if he feels he isn’t ready to face Je’Von, Charlie wouldn’t blame Tavion. Tavion says yeah, he’d like that, huh? But the doc got him a special mask. Tavion is cleared as tolerated, and after tonight, he won’t be Charlie’s problem anymore. Charlie says that’s fantastic. Yeah, it is fantastic! Wren agrees, it is fantastic. The sarcasm might have gone over Wren’s head, but will Tavion reach new heights after tonight? Or will the Young OG be too bouncy to lose their bet?

 

Myles Borne meets with some special guests.

He is so excited that George Gumbs Jr. & Tyreak Sapp of the Florida Gators football team is here. Myles was born in North Carolina, but he’s been a big fan of the Gators ever since the Tim Tebow days. And now, with their improved offense and defense, the Gators are so back! Gumbs & Sapp agree and high-five with Myles. Lexis King walks over and asks Myles if he has a moment to talk. But Lexis says of course Myles has time to talk, he’s a lone wolf now, just like Lexis. And oh, right, he’s deaf. Lexis talks louder, but Myles tells Gumbs & Sapp that he heard Lexis, it’s no big deal. Oh, so he heard Lexis? Since he’s such an active listener, he’s some advice!

Myles cuts Lexis off there and says he doesn’t want his advice. They are not alike. Lexis takes every shortcut possible while Myles works hard to get what he has. Lexis is his father’s son, and that’ll never change. Well, nothing will change for Myles if he’s talking to losers instead of listening to The King! The Gators haven’t done jack in two decades. Gumbs & Sapp warn Lexis, he backs off, and Sapp says that is a gross beard. Will Lexis have to show not tell when it comes to giving out advice?

 

High Stakes Showdown: Tavion Heights VS Je’Von Evans!

Ready or not, the moment of truth is here. Tavion wants to prove he no longer needs to be under Dempsey’s wing, and definitely doesn’t need to be under his thumb. Can Tavion fly high all on his own? Or will the Young OG have to hold him down so he can get ahead?

The bell rings, the two approach and Tavion TACKLES Je’Von! Cover, ONE, but Tavion waistlocks and then deadlifts Je’Von for the SLAM! Tavion keeps hold, brings Je’Von back up, and SLAMS him again! Je’Von still fights but Tavion gator rolls him with that waistlock. Tavion floats to turn Je’Von for a cover, TWO! Tavion is a dog with a bone and he has a fisherman cradle! TWO!! Je’Von escapes in time but Tavion holds Je’Von down with a facelock. The fans rally, Je’Von fights, but Tavion rolls it to a cradle, TWO! Tavion keeps Je’Von down, brings him up and whips him to a corner hard! Then fireman’s carry takeover!

Tavion has the wristlock, makes it a cover, TWO! Tavion floats to the top wristlock and he grinds the arm. Je’Von endures, bridges to keep his shoulders up, and the fans rally. Je’Von fights up, rolls, but Tavion keeps that top wristlock! Tavion pushes on the arm but Je’Von endures. Je’Von fights up with another bridge, the fans rally again, and Je’Von runs to slip around and arm-drag! But Tavion’s right back on Je’Von! Tavion lifts, Je’Von sunset flips, TWO! Both men stand, Je’Von dodges Tavion to springboard and CROSSBODY! Je’Von keeps moving, BOUNCY~ RANA! The fans fire up and Tavion bails out!

The fans rally as Je’Von builds speed and FLIES! Down goes Tavion and the fans fire up! Dempsey & Wren are worried, but NXT goes to break.

NXT returns and the fans are even more fired up as Je’Von and Tavion rise. Tavion storms up but Je’Von blocks a shot to body shot! Then he blocks a shot to CHOP! Tavion ROCKS Je’Von, but Je’Von nods and CHOPS! Je’Von ROCKS and CHOPS Tavion on repeat, then he whips. Tavion grabs ropes to redirect himself, and he LARIATS Je’Von down! Cover, TWO!! Je’Von survives that curveball and Wren says Tavion is looking good. Tavion fireman’s carries but Je’Von slips free. Je’Von waistlocks, Tavion switches, but Je’Von fights the lift. Je’Von fires an elbow, but Tavion reels Je’Von in for a HEADBUTT! GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!

Tavion falls, Je’Von goes right up top, and he SKY TWISTERS!! Cover, Je’Von wins!!

Winner: Je’Von Evans, by pinfall (Tavion stays with the NQCC)

Tavion may not be free from the NQCC, but he may have just proven himself worthy of big things. Will Tavion still reach those heights he looks for? As for The Young OG, JASPER TROY finds him for a BLACK HOLE SLAM!! The Monstar strikes! The fans boo, but will Troy be the one changing the landscape around here?

 

BREAKING NEWS!

It was revealed over the weekend that unfortunately, Noam Dar is injured and can no longer defend the Heritage Cup. It will now be vacated, changing the stakes of tonight’s match. Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo is still in the match, but who is he facing? Luca Crusifino posted online, “Tony, you looked me in the eyes and you told me to prove my loyalty to you. So I did just that. Ava confirmed this: Tony D’Angelo VS Stacks Lorenzo this Tuesday for the held-up NXT Heritage Cup.” The Don has the chance to not only become a two-time Heritage Cup Champion, he can also settle things with Stacks. This hasn’t completely gotten Tony to trust Luca, but it’s a great start.

Stacks’ response is that this only makes it sweeter for him. He gets to beat Tony down while taking the Cup that once belonged to him. So all Stacks has to say to Luca is… “Thank you, my consigliere!” Is the Underboss continuing to play mind games to tear Tony and Luca apart? Or is Luca playing both sides?

 

Ricky Saints VS Ashante THEE Adonis!

The Absolute is finally cleared to compete, and while he wants after Ethan Page, NXT’s resident ladies man put his foot in his mouth acting like he was on the team. Will Adonis regret standing up for All Ego? Or will he ruin Ricky’s return to in-ring action?

Adonis THROWS his jacket at Saints but Saints ducks it! The bell rings and the fists fly! The fans fire up, Saints ROCKS Adonis again and again, then has him in a corner for a CHOP! Adonis goes to another corner, Ricky runs up to UPPERCUT again! Adonis fires hands back, Saints knees low and Saints ROCKS Adonis again. Adonis goes to a third corner, Saints CHOPS again, but Adonis headlocks. Saints powers up and out, Adonis hurdles, but then Saints hurdles, ducks, dodges, then KICKS! Saints ROCKS Adonis again, bumps him off buckles, and Adonis goes tumbling away. Adonis gets up, throws hands, but Saints blocks to wrench!

Saints goes up the corner, struts Old School for the AX HANDLE! Saints TOSSES Adonis and the fans fire up! Saints strikes his pose and NXT goes to break.

NXT returns and Saints fires hands on Adonis! Adonis fires hands in return, Saints fires back, and the fans fire up. Adonis knees low, whips, but Saints reverses, only for Adonis to wrench and DDDT! Then Adonis fireman’s carries for a CASH-OUT! Cover, TWO! Adonis’ take on the Death Valley Driver wasn’t quite enough, but he brings Saints up. Adonis shoves Saints to a corner, whips him corner to corner, and Saints sputters and coughs. Adonis is right on Saints to push him back into the corner, then whips him hard corner to corner! The fans boo but Adonis soaks it all up. Adonis whips again, but Saints reverses! Adonis hits buckles, Saints LARIATS!

Saints rallies, clinches, but Adonis fights the overhead throw! Saints keeps trying, Adonis keeps fighting, so Saints wrenches and reels Adonis in for a BACKDROP! Adonis flounders, the fans fire up, and Saints reels Adonis in! TORNADO DDT! Adonis flounders, Saints covers, TWO! Saints scowls but he stays on Adonis. The fans rally behind “RICKY! RICKY!” and he reels Adonis in. But Adonis wrenches out, whips, only for Saints to duck  ‘n’ dodge and SPEAR! The fans fire up and Saints reels Adonis back in! Canadian Rack, ROSHAMBEAUX!! Cover, Saints wins!

Winner: Ricky Saints, by pinfall

It was a gritty return but Saints comes walking in a winner! But wait, Ethan Page is on the tron. “Ricky, we’ve been doing this for a long…” Wait, the video glitched? OH NO, ETHAN ATTACKS FROM BEHIND! All Ego just wanted to distract Saints long enough to set him up! Ethan thinks about Twisted Grin, but then changes his mind. Ethan Canadian Racks, and steals ROSHAMBEAUX!! Ethan tells Ricky that he will not get his smile back, nor will he get this title back! Will All Ego be right on all counts?

 

Dark State speaks.

Dion Lennox says NXT has forgotten about them. “Just cuz y’all ain’t seen us doesn’t mean we ain’t been making moves.” Osiris Griffin says all the shiny new toys have everyone’s attention, but that’s understandable. That’s only going to help them. Cutler James says that’s right. And Dark State is cooking up something for NXT, just wait. Osiris says they’ll get the attention back. And when they do, Dark State will be front and center. Saquon Shugars asks Cutler if he feels that. Cutler says yes, he does. That’s the heat rising, the pot boiling, ready to spill over and burn this whole place to the ground! When Dark State strikes, #NoOneIsSafe!

 

Oba Femi is here!

The fans cheer as The Ruler is still NXT Champion as he struts his way to the ring. Oba grabs a mic and says, “Since January 7th, 2025, I have been your NXT Champion. And in that time, I have put down any challenger that stepped forward to oppose me. The best from NXT, TNA, Raw, SmackDown. One by one, they came. And one by one, they fell. And do you know what that makes them? That makes them footnotes to my legacy! Capable contenders, but footnotes! And now, I sit comfortably at the top of the pedestal, but this is where it gets dangerous.

“Because any man in my position would start to rest on his laurels, would start to coast, and bask in the euphoria of his victories. But The Ruler is not just any man, now is he? I get restless when I’m idle. I get restless when there’s no contenders, when there’s no competition. Because I crave the fight, I enjoy the fight, I embrace the fight! And I NEED challengers! So any man who thinks they are worthy to take this title from me, any man who thinks they can stand up to The Ruler himself, THIS is your opportunity! THIS is your moment! The Ruler is ready.” The fans like that, and then here comes Yoshiki Inamura!

The Great Rush heads to the ring, and this falls in line with what he was telling Josh Briggs last week. The fans cheer for “YO-SHI-KI! YO-SHI-KI!” Inamura tells Oba that he came to NXT to chase glory, just like Oba. But when it did not come, Inamura went home to Japan. Inamura realized all the things he missed: his partner and best friend, Briggs, but also… he missed NXT! The fans cheer, and Inamura says it was because he loves NXT! He loves this culture! He loves this passion from the fans! The fans cheer more, and Inamura says he wants to pay them all back by becoming the NXT NXT Champion!

Oba grins and Inamura says he wants to go bigger! And Oba and that title are bigger. Oba tells “Mr. Inamura” that one thing they both have in common is that they both know what it is to be strangers in a different land. But Oba made this place his home a long time ago, and then it became his kingdom. Oba has thrived ever since the beginning. But that is where they are different. Inamura has had his struggles that made him go home. But that is why the fans embraced Inamura: he came back, he turned the tide, and all with a smile on his face.

But Inamura can’t fool Oba. Oba sees beyond the smile, and he knows that inside is a fighting warrior! A man with a warrior spirit who craves the fight, just like Oba. So if Inamura wants to fight for the honor of this title… big mistake! When you face The Ruler, you will fall, just like everybody else! The fans applaud, but Inamura says, “I! AM! READY!” The fans cheer that, too! Can The Great Rush be the one man that dethrones The Ruler? Or- JASPER TROY ATTACKS!! Troy goes through Inamura to tell Oba that they are not finished! Oba holds up the belt, also ready for Troy to try again. But who will battle Oba first? And will there be anything left for who comes second?

 

Tatum Paxley is backstage.

She is taking apart some of her dollhouse furniture, but then Izzi Dame walks over. Izzi says she has something for Tatum. It’s an Izzi doll? Tatum is so happy, but then Izzi says she also has a question to ask, but she’s a little nervous. How does Tatum feel about being in Izzi’s corner? Izzi wants Tatum in her corner? Tatum is again very happy, but #ZaRuca walk over. They cannot believe this. Sol says Izzi is clearly just using Tatum! Zaria says if Tatum thinks Izzi is being genuine, then let her. Izzi sarcastically says good to see they’re not bitter about last week’s loss. And also, the only title Zaria’s ever getting close to is the one she’s “sharing” with her best friend.

Izzi again offers the invitation to Tatum, then heads out. Tatum follows Izzi and The Culling is there. Shawn Spears asks who Izzi’s new friend is. Izzi introduces Tatum to Spears & Niko. Spears asks Izzi if she’s ready. Of course. Will Tatum join her ringside? Of course. And what about the boys? Niko says they have something in the works. Just like Izzi, they’re also eyeing gold. Izzi walks hand-in-hand with Tatum and they head to gorilla. Tatum may have a new toy, but is she the one being played with?

 

Trick Williams returns backstage.

He rests in the locker room, but then Wes Lee & High Ryze walk over, wanting to talk. Trick says now’s not the time, Joe Hendry got him messed up, thinking he’s gonna go out like that. After everything that happened last week, that ain’t happening. Wes says there is a lot going on, and Trick says yeah, he had it all taken care of. Until Yoshi hit his splash from the top rope, almost broke Trick’s ribs. Wes says yeah, he missed that. Then looked what happened tonight! Briggs loses but Hendry appears outta nowhere! Wes says yeah, that’s what he wanted to talk about. Next week, we’ll find out how much people believe when Wes whoops Hendry’s ass.

They all look around, Joe doesn’t appear. Trick mutters just to be safe, “You’re gonna whoop Joe’s ass?” Wes nods. Trick says he likes the sound of that. Wes can take care of Joe next week, and better yet, how about all three of them take care of it, then Trick will owe them one. Wes says it ain’t nothing but a thing. They shake hands and the deal is struck. But can the High Ryze bring Joe Hendry down before Slammiversary? Or will Joe make everyone believe in him more when he overcomes the odds?

 

Vacated NXT Heritage Cup Championship: Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo VS Tony D’Angelo!

Noam Dar’s misfortune became serendipity for what was The D’Angelo Family. Stacks and Tony will settle their grudge while fighting over quite the prize, but will The Underboss finally bring down The Don? Or will Tony make Stacks pay for everything he’s done?

NXT returns and Stacks makes his entrance, still accompanied by those goons from last time. The introductions are made, the cup is on display and Stacks’ goons do their best to intimidate Tony. Tony is not even reacting, he’s that focused on Stacks. The bell rings, the two tie up, and we have British Rounds back! The clock ticks as Tony throws hands with Stacks!

Tony clinches and OVERHEAD SUPLEXES! The fans fire up as Tony brings Stacks up.

Stacks RAMS Tony into a corner, then he fires forearms! The ref counts, Stacks digs his knee in, but the ref counts more. Stacks steps off as we drop under a minute. Stacks runs in but Tony BOOTS him down! The fans fire up while both men flounder. The goons coach Stacks as he and Tony rise. They go forehead to forehead, then they go haymaker for haymaker! We’re under 30 seconds, Tony TACKLES Stacks! Stacks and Tony scrap as time ticks away! Stacks HAMMERS Tony, we hit ten seconds, and Tony fights up! The hands keep going, and time is up on the round! The ref gets in there as the two keep going!

Stacks: 0; Tony: 0

The ref and the goons separate the two, and they refresh in the corners. And now on to round two! Tony TACKLES Stacks, they scrap some more, and Tony gives those hockey scrum punches. Tony runs, CLOBBERS Stacks, but Stacks ELBOWS him away! Stacks goes to the apron, but Tony BLASTS him! Stacks hits the desk! The fans fire up as Tony puts Stacks in and SPEARS!! Cover, Tony scores!

Stacks: 0; Tony: 1

A quick second and Tony SHOVES Stacks to his corner. The refresher period is on, but NXT goes to break.

NXT returns again and all of round three happened off camera, but with no change to the score!

Stacks: 0; Tony: 1

Round four begins, Tony gasping for air, and Stacks is right on him. They both throw hands, and Tony still has the edge. Tony then atomic- NO, the knee gives up, Stacks cradles, STACKS SCORES!

Stacks: 1; Tony: 1

The fans boo but the goons cheer as Stacks has tied things up late in the game! Will he steal this one away? Or- Wait! Luca finally shows up! The Consigliere is here to back up The Don, and the bell rings! Tony and Stacks grapple but Stacks trips Tony! Stacks ties up the legs, INDIAN DEATHLOCK! Tony endures as Stacks puts on the pressure and the fans rally. Tony fires hands, Stacks lets the legs go, but he comes back to throw hands. Tony still has the edge there, then he whips. Tony DECKS Stacks again and again, then clinches for a BELLY2BELLY! And then another whip for a SPINEBUSTER! The fans fire up as Tony stalks Stacks again.

Tony tells Stacks this is what he gets, and he HIP TOSSES Stacks out onto the goons! The fans fire up and Tony hurries to fetch Stacks. Tony puts Stacks in, but one goon distracts the ref so the others can attack! Tony DECKS one, Luca grapples with the other! They’re fighting over the spit bucket, but then the goon lets go, and the bucket SMACKS Tony in the back!! Luca panics, but Stacks hits a BIG suplex! And then the BLINDSIDE SHINING WIZARD!! Cover, Stacks wins!!

Winner: Channing Lorenzo, by pinfall (NEW NXT Heritage Cup Champion)

Luca tried to help Tony and it all backfired! But without him, would the goons have made sure Stacks won all the same? Luca goes to help Tony to his feet, but Tony DECKS him!! The fans boo but Tony says he no longer trusts anyone! All according to Stacks’ plan. Will Tony truly be left with nothing now?

 

Backstage interview with The Fatal Influence.

Sarah Schreiber is with Jazmyn Nyx, Fallon Henley & NXT Women’s Champion, Jacy Jayne. Sarah brings up how last week, The Influence interrupted and ruined Blake Monroe’s NXT contract signing by putting her through a table. Fallon Henley says Blake Monroe really thought she was just going to walk into the deepest women’s division and go straight to the top? Absolutely not. Monroe learned her place in this roster, and that’s at the feet of The Fatal Influence. Jacy adds that that was their fun way of “welcoming” Monroe to their division. Monroe says “Glamour is forever,” but the only thing that IS forever is the Influence’s control over NXT, and the women’s title.

Speaking of the title, how are they feeling about tonight’s Fatal 4 Way match to determine Jacy’s challenger for Evolution? Jacy says Evolution is a historic event, and she remembers watching the original thinking, “If they ever do another one, I’m gonna make damn sure that I’m on it.” And look where we are today! As for tonight, the Influence will be watching to see who the lucky person is to get their hand raised. But one thing is for sure, they won’t be getting their hand raised in Atlanta, that’ll be Jacy. The Influence heads out, but will they be disappointed in seeing who Jacy will have to face at the Great American Bash?

 

Thea Hail might be crashing out…

The “Grown Ass Woman” is warning the LFG candidates and Evolve stars that “adulting is hard,” just as these young prospects are surely finding out. And everyone else on NXT SUCKS! Last week, she tapped Jaida out, she had the arm, but on the record, no she didn’t. Does it even matter what “right” and “wrong” are anymore!? But then in steps Lainey Reid. And she says for a grown ass woman, Thea sure knows how to get played like a fiddle. Wow~, she already has a mouth? Congrats, Lainey! But you don’t know Thea. Lainey says calm down now. She’s watched Thea, and realized that Thea hasn’t changed a bit.

But Lainey will be sure to learn from those mistakes and blow right past her. Thea says if Lainey wants to try that right now, she’s game! But Lash Legend pulls up and says SKRRRR~! Pump the brakes. If y’all got a problem, save it and solve it later. Because right now, Lash has her match to get to, and ladies… Just watch how the Bougie Bully gets things done. Lash heads for gorilla, but will Thea and Lainey be too busy to take notes?

 

Ava Raine confronts Ethan Page.

The NXT General Manager asks the NXT North American Champion, “What the hell was that?!” Ethan says, “Well, that was Ricky Saints being Ricky Saints and getting exactly what Ricky Saints deserves. Boss, honestly, I’ve been trying my best to be on my best behavior for you, but this man keeps pushing my buttons every single week.” Ava says wow, that is his best? That’s pathetic! And she’s sick of this! Well, so is Ethan! Ava can help him solve both of their problems. All she has to do is make sure Saints stays very, very, very far away from Ethan, and we’ll never have to deal with this issue ever again.

Oh, he’d love that, wouldn’t he? He would, actually. That’s why he suggested it. Ava warns Ethan not to piss her off. Ethan and Ricky are now required to be in her office for a meeting next week, because they are both the problem here. They are going to settle it. Oh, they can settle it. On Ethan’s terms, though. Ethan has Siri (wait, he still has a Siri?) and he wants her to text Vanity Project. He needs them to show up next week. Ethan heads off, and now something else goes down! Someone just attacked Hank ‘n’ Tank and ran for it! Wait, could it have been Dark State? Are they targeting the tag titles as their first conquests?

 

Backstage interview with Joe Hendry.

Sarah Schreiber is now with the Prestigious One, and she says it is good to have him back in NXT. Hendry says it is good to be back. Sarah says last time we saw him was Battleground, where he unfortunately lost the TNA World Heavyweight Championship to Trick Williams. Hendry says yes, that is a night he has thought about every single day since. But while he can’t change the past, he can change the future. And the future is TNA Slammiversary, where Hendry gets his chance to regain that title from Trick. Hendry says Trick has made himself very comfortable just showing up to TNA whenever he wants, so Hendry decided to return the favor.

Sarah says we will see Hendry VS Wes next week, and Hendry says Wes is a superstar who cut his teeth in TNA, but it seems Wes has forgotten where he came from. Don’t worry, Hendry hasn’t, and he’ll remind Wes. Wes faces 252 pounds of pure motivation, a man on a mission, and the NEXT TNA World Champion! Sarah wishes Hendry luck, but will he not need it when he’s got that fire inside?

 

Chase U is in session.

Another intense class, and we see Kale Dixon & Uriah Connors struggling to keep up. After the lecture, Mr. Chase says he does want to address last week. He apologizes to Kale. This is new to both of them, but what Chase said was… 100% fact. Chase U does believe that the toughest road creates the greatest champions. Mr. Chase sticks by what he said, they just need to toughen the F up. The rest of the class applauds, but Uriah stands up for Kale. Mr. Chase and this whole school are tripping if they think Chase can just talk to students like that and create a toxic environment in here!

Chase asks who the F Uriah thinks he is! This “attitude” is what built the entire foundation of this school. The same university that these two wanted to be part of. They need to respect Mr. Chase and accept that he knows what he is doing. Kale says that attitude is the very thing that also destroyed this school in the first place. Kale & Uriah storm out, grumbling that they thought Chase U would be different this time. Kale regrets ever calling out to Mr. Chase, wanting him to reopen this place. Mr. Chase hears that and remembers that day, when he was distraught and lost. Is listening to Kale & Uriah now the secret to them all succeeding?

 

BREAKING NEWS for next week!

With Great American Bash closing in, we’re getting a BIG showdown! Yoshiki Inamura and Jasper Troy will have it out in a #1 Contender’s match to the NXT Championship! Who survives this head-on collision to challenge Oba Femi? Plus, after the verbal altercation backstage, Myles Borne is going to make Lexis King put up or shut up! They go 1v1, but will Myles prove he doesn’t need The Drama King’s arrogant advice?

 

NXT Women’s Championship #1 Contender’s Fatal 4 Way: Jaida Parker VS Lash Legend VS Izzi Dame w/ Tatum Paxley VS Jordynne Grace!

After winning their “Evolution Eliminator” matches last week, four of the best in the best women’s division anywhere are going to battle for that number one spot! Who overcomes the odds to have their moment in Atlanta?

NXT returns and Lash makes her entrance to join Jaida and Izzi in the ring. And just as promised, Tatum has accompanied Izzi to the ring. This leaves Jordynne Grace for last, with her song starting with, “It’s not over until I win.” Will that be proven as not just a statement but a fact?

The bell rings, the four watch each other, and then Grace fires fists with Izzi while Lash brawls with Jaida. The fans fire up, Grace whips but Izzi TOSSES her out! Grace drags Izzi out to join her, Lash sends Jaida to a corner, but Jaida dodges Lash’s splash. Jaida runs up to KNEE low! Lash DECKS Jaida in return! The fans rally, and the Fatal Influence watches from the perch, as they promised they would. Grace storms in after Lash, DOUBLE LARIATS, but Lash stays up! Lash scoops and SWINGING BACKBREAKERS! Grace tumbles out, Jaida is back, but Lash wrenches and snap suplexes! Lash kips up, the fans fire up, but Izzi returns.

Izzi and Lash stare down as the tallest women in this match. They circle, Izzi shoves but Lash shoves back! Jaida and Grace return to throw hands on Izzi and Lash! Grace whips, Lash reverses, and Izzi LARIATS Jaida! Grace slumps down, she and Jaida bails out, and then Lash shoves Izzi. Izzi swings, misses, but slips free of the scoop. Izzi scoops, Lash slips free and CHOPS! The fans fire up, but Izzi CHOPS back! Lash rebounds to RAM Izzi, Izzi rebounds, but Lash dodges to LARIAT! The fans fire up and Lash TOSSES Izzi. Grace is back, she goes to throw Lash, but Lash ELBOWS Grace away!

Lash RAMS Grace into the corner again and again, then runs up, only for Grace to go up and over! Lash POSTS herself, Jaida runs in, but Grace dodges to ROCK and CHOP on repeat! Grace whips, Jaida reverses, but Grace reverses back! Kick, DOUBLE CHOP, and then the FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, Izzi breaks it! Izzi drags Grace up to RAM her into a corner!

Cover, Lash breaks it! Lash stmops Grace, Jaida CROSSBODIES from the top!

Jaida runs, dodges Izzi, then CLOBBERS Izzi! Jaida dares someone to get up, and she has Grace for a wrench and suplex! GOURD BUSTER, and then Jaida builds speed. But Lash trips Jaida, drags her out, and SMACKS her off the desk! The fans are torn, but then Grace DIVES! Down goes Lash and the fans fire up! But then Izzi APRON CHOKE SLAMS Grace!! The fans boo, but then Jaida TRUCKS Izzi! The fans fire up for “NXT! NXT!” as Jaida puts Izzi in the ring. Izzi kicks back, whips, and Tatum trips Jaida! It’s not illegal but it’s not cool, either! Izzi runs up but Jaida dodges to roll her up! TWO, and Izzi ELBOWS Jaida down!

ZaRuca storm out here, and while Sol wants to talk sense into Tatum, Zaria says screw it, and she just picks Tatum up! Tatum is taken away kicking and screaming, and Tatum wants her friend to save her! Izzi obviously chooses this golden opportunity over Tatum, but even Fatal Influence is surprised to see ZaRuca do something about it. The fans love it either way, and NXT goes picture in picture.

Lash DECKS Izzi! Lash then goes after Jaida, brings her around, wrenches and RAMS her down! Then stands her up to RAM her down again! Lash drags Jaida up again but Jaida rolls Lash, TWO! Jaida stands but Lash RUNS her over! Lash shakes out that arm, then she DRIBBLES Jaida off the mat! Lash turns Jaida over runs and ELBOW DROPS! Cover, TWO! Jaida is tougher than that, but Lash stays on her. Lash drags Jaida up to scoop, and she puts Jaida in the ropes for more dribbling! Lash TOSSES Jaida, the Influence likes it, but here comes Garce! Lash fireman’s carries Grace, but here comes Izzi!

Lash catches Izzi in her arms, and she DRIBBLES them both in the ropes! Lash TOSSES Grace and Izzi aside, then brings Izzi up to bump off buckles. Lash goes back to Jaida to bump her off buckles, but Jaida jumps on to Lash’s back! Jaida is a backpack, Izzi hobbles that way, but then Grace CLOBBERS Izzi! Grace rains down forearms, then she reels Izzi into a CAMEL CLUTCH! Lash drops to her knees, so Jaida copies Grace! CAMEL CLUTCH for Lash! But they’re close enough so that Grace can SLAP Jaida!

Grace torture racks Jaida for a TOWER HACKER BOMB!!! Cover, GRACE WINS!!

Winner: Jordynne Grace, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the NXT Women’s Champion)

Perhaps “new” isn’t really the right term when Grace has had opportunities in the past. However, could the third time truly be the charm? Or will the Fatal Influence help Jacy Jayne survive The Juggernaut?


My Thoughts:

A great NXT here to set the stage for the many events on the horizon. When news broke that Joe Hendry was challenging for the TNA World Championship at Slammiversary, it was clear it would be against Trick Williams, so of course Trick was winning tonight. Good promo from Hendry, and I think his claim of showing up to NXT more often is a subtle way of having him gradually move to NXT and WWE over time. Trick making that deal with Wes & High Ryze fits, too, and we’ll get a great match from Wes VS Hendry. If that acts as the go-home segment, I feel like Hendry would have to lose against Wes, even if he’s cheated, to fit him winning at Slammiversary.

Great showing from Briggs in that match, but I think his first singles title is going to be more a midcard title, not any company’s top title. Great promo from Oba Femi and Yoshiki Inamura, but of course Jasper Troy got involved again. Troy’s attack on Je’Von will definitely factor into the #1 contenders match next week, as we’re not going to get Oba VS Troy 2 so soon. And while Oba VS Inamura will be great, I’m pretty sure Oba retains. Je’Von VS Tavion was awesome stuff, especially with how Tavion was showing his great technical skill. But the stakes being Tavion leaving NQCC sure gave away that Je’Von was winning. Je’Von and Troy are going to have a very good match, but I feel like that is a win for Troy.

Good promo from Dark State, but Cutler needs to work on not sounding so stiff. And I would think they’re the ones that attacked Hank ‘n’ Tank, the faction will start with taking the tag titles before going for the others. Speaking of which, great stuff in the D’Angelo Family story with the Heritage Cup being part of it now. I am glad the British Rounds returned, but I’m a little disappointed they just skipped the third using a commercial break for it. And Luca was glancing up at Tony a bit too much before “accidental” bucket strike. That could be shoot, Luca just wanted to make sure the spot would work out, but they could use it for kayfabe. Either way, Stacks is new Cup champion, Tony is growing more paranoid and angry, so it is only a matter of time until Tony melts down.

Very good match from Saints VS Adonis, but naturally Saints win, and naturally Ethan has to ruin it. Good promo from Ethan with Ava, and I like that Ethan is going to call on Vanity Project to be his backup. Obviously Ethan VS Ricky will happen, title on the line, but I would love if they added a “Loser Leaves NXT” stipulation because the story is clearly these two need to be separated. Ethan can lose, given the title to Saints, and then use this “banishment” as his call-up. Good promo from Myles and Lexis to set up their match, and I feel like Lexis will cheat to win. Then his “advice” can be to do anything you have to in order to win.

Good promo from Chase U to finally force Chase to face how things went last time. I appreciate the direction they’re going with this, I’m sure they’ll have a promo next week where Chase properly apologizes. Great opening promo from the four main eventers tonight, and good promo from Thea and Lainey to help lead into the main event. #ZaRuca had a good interaction with Izzi & Tatum, who then have a good interaction with Shawn Spears & Niko Vance. That main event was great, but I had a good feeling Grace would win. The Fatal Influence talked trash on Blake Monroe, I feel like Monroe will get back at Jacy, but I fear that will cost Grace her title match. In that scenario, Grace moves on to main roster and Monroe is the one to dethrone Jacy at the next major show. As I said before, that’s a shame for Grace, but not everyone gets to be a top champion in their NXT run.

My Score: 8.9/10
