History is not given, it is forged.
By those who seize the moment. By leaders, trailblazers and legends. “Well let me tell you something, brother!” History is made as legends lead ten of the greatest superstars today to add on to their legacies. History is made when the worlds of boxing, MMA and pro-wrestling collide in two truly heavyweight matches. History is made when a champion must fight his fears in a match that can go anywhere. And history is made when walls are broken down, and women are wrestling in Saudi Arabia! Where will you be when history is made?

The introductions are made, with Saudi Arabia echoing Heyman’s words. The belt is raised, and this rematch of fight-sport icons begins!

But Rey is back with another chair and he SMACKS Lesnar more! He keeps firing off on Lesnar, he won’t give Lesnar an opening! Chair shot to the face! And the back! Rey is wearing that chair out on Lesnar! Lesnar runs away and Heyman keeps him from wanting revenge. The Beast has the belt and his payback on Cain, but what will the King of Lucha Libre do to get the rest of his own revenge?
The tag team champions of both brands speak.
Fighting up from noting to becoming the #TopGuys, it has all lead to this. The most important tag team match in history, this is Dash Wilder’s and Scott Dawson’s time to prove they are the “most precise one-two punch.” No Flips, Just Fists.

The Fiend has brought out the worst in Rollins, from Hell in a Cell to burning the Firefly Fun House. The scariest part is that a little bit of Rollins that enjoys this. Rollins has had people play mind games with him, but something about this is different. It is unsettling. But what Rollins wants us to remember, that no matter what happens, Rollins didn’t pick the fight. Bray Wyatt picked the fight! Rollins didn’t start this but he is not afraid to end this! Rollins walks in the champion, and will do whatever it takes to walk out! What lengths will Rollins go to, to #BurnItDown?

My Thoughts:
Y’know what, for the usual forced build, the same general distaste fans have for this WWE Saudi Arabia deal and any other arguments can be made against Crown Jewel, this second Crown Jewel ever was a really great event! For one, you can’t knock the crowd, they loved everything. The 20-Man Battle Royal was pretty fun, and while it seems like Cedric Alexander is being buried or dropped off the big stories, he at least got to be part of the final four. Fans really love Harper, even in Saudi Arabia, but it was almost too obvious from Raw last Monday that it would be Humberto Carrillo. At least they gave us a great way to Carrillo getting the better of Rowan and Harper. Carrillo had a really good match with AJ Styles, but it just seemed obvious the status quo would be maintained here. But speaking of that, it was pretty great we got the 24/7 Championship being hot potato’d again. At least then the status quo isn’t really kept, as Truth gets another reign and now Samir gets to hold the title.
I did not expect Lesnar VS Velasquez to open, but that does seem to be a trend with Lesnar lately. I also didn’t expect such a poor match, I thought they were going to stretch that for a few more minutes. But no, it was Lesnar squashing Velasquez. I suppose it gives that MMA feeling of how fights can end so fast, but that tends to come off dumb for pro-wrestling. Mysterio going after Lesnar and eventually running him off was great, but it does bring in the question of how Mysterio is supposed to get at Lesnar if they’re on separate brands. Survivor Series is cross-branded, so perhaps Mysterio gets his shot there. Of course, we have the shocker of the night with Rollins VS Fiend to factor in here, too. One of those top titles has to be going over to Raw, but after that honestly really great rematch to Hell in a Cell, Rollins can’t win that title back. The Fiend is basically unstoppable, so SmackDown should keep (and recolor) the Universal Championship. Raw can get Lesnar back and have him take on Mysterio. Just not sure if Mysterio wins.
That Tag Team Turmoil was alright, but I feel like the order of the teams could’ve worked out a little different. The Viking Raiders coming out last, I almost thought they were winning for sure. But in the end, the last team was always going to have the best advantage on paper, and they obviously wanted Revival and New Day to have their encounter to preview tomorrow night’s SmackDown Tag Team Championship match, so it just ended up being Raiders VS OC. I therefore did not expect The OC to win, but that was such a great choice. I was sure the AOP were going to go after the Raw Tag Team Championships, but maybe they also have to deal with The OC. That would make for some great stuff either way, and some unpredictability in the tag title scene is for the best.
However, for predictability in the Mansoor VS Cesaro match, that was actually a great match. Taking out the location and the fans being that strongly behind Mansoor, Mansoor still gives a great performance. When he sprang up out of the somersault, along with springing out of his own roll-up was great athleticism, that is something you can’t fake. Mansoor gets a great moment for himself and the people, I’m just surprised NXT hasn’t tried a little more with him since Super Showdown. The historic women’s match was pretty solid, and it was great to hear the fans get behind it so strongly. It made sense to have the Face win, because in the end, this is about the history and the progress made.
Fury VS Strowman could’ve been a bit smoother but it’s not like Fury had that long to train. But it was pretty clever to have this decided by the ring out count. We knew Fury would win so that he could stay undefeated in reality and kayfabe, but then Strowman gets the last move out of frustration. I don’t know if we will get a rematch, not really sure I want a rematch, but it wasn’t a complete mess. Team Hogan VS Team Flair was a lot of fun, certainly at the start and end. There was a lot of great stuff, and the story of Rusev and Lashley was clearly a major motivator in a lot of it, it was good that they got the little moment they had. Something in the middle dragged, but it makes a lot of sense for Roman to be the one to get the pin for the team. I was a little surprised this wasn’t the main event, but ending on the shocking win from The Fiend was definitely the way to go for the final moment of the show.
My Score: 8.5/10

Hank ‘n’ Tank are running the merchandise stand.
Ledger is on top of the truck as he tells the crowd, we had a lot of fun in NXT’s return to Orlando. But tonight, it is them AND the 2023 NASCAR Xfinity Series Champion, COLE CUSTER! Cole drives up, he shakes hands with Hank ‘n’ Tank. This truck ain’t the Double Zero but it still runs. But then Out The Mud walks over and says Cole just parked in their spot. He may be a special guest, but this is their show. Hank ‘n’ Tank says last they checked, NO ONE has a special spot. If they have a problem with tonight’s guest, then let’s settle this in the ring. Bronco Nima says fine. The special guest can even have a front row seat when OTM beats Hank’s ‘n’ Tank’s asses.
Cole gets on the megaphone to say let’s tell Ava then. And with that, a match is made! Will Nima & Price drag Hank ‘n’ Tank through the mud? Or will Cole welcome Hank ‘n’ Tank to the winner’s circle?
Sol Ruca, Brinley Reece & Karmen Petrovic exercise in the NXT gym.
Sol spots Brin as she finishes the squats, and then Brin asks them about Ashante THEE Adonis trying to give her a rose. Like, take the hint, man. Sol did notice that, but she also noticed Karmen might be- “Interested,” says Adonis. And Karmen, he couldn’t help but notice they shared a look last week. They were feeling each other. Is that so? Well, Adonis cost her a match, so she was just returning the favor. Well, Adonisly, he was just assuming- Yeah, he was. And you know what happens when you assume. Adonis asks what that is, and Karmen smirks. Brin says hey, she’s not interested, so enough of that.
Adonis says we’ll see. He leaves, Sol tells Karmen that she can’t deny there is something. Right, because they know what Karmen likes and what’s best for her. But they don’t. But you’ll find out. Karmen heads out, Sol asks what this is about. Brin says this is a “canon event.” Emotions are running high, but who is just setting themselves up for a fall this Fall?
NXT is headed to the 2300 Arena!
Yes, once the home to ECW in Philadelphia, NXT plans on going to the extreme on Wednesday, November 6th! Will you be ready for #NXT2300?
Tatum Paxley VS Jaida Parker!
While twisted Tatum is focused on wicked Wendy Choo for toying with her emotions, this is about Miss Parker not caring about anybody but herself. Will Tatum shows what happens when she plays rough? Or will Jaida play for keeps on her way to settling things with Lola Vice?
NXT returns and Tatum makes her entrance. The bell rings and the two tie up. Jaida waistlocks, but she thrwos Tatum by h er hair! Jaida talks trash on Tatum as she puts her on ropes. The ref cuonts. Jaida lets off, but Taum just smiles. Jaida runs up, Tatum dodges and thrwos Jaida down by her hair! JUMP ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Tatum keeps on Jaiad with a chinlock but Jaida stands up to throw her away. Tatum returns to roll Jaida up, TWO! Tatum puts on the body sicsosrs!

Jaida escapes, then ducks an enzigiri! Jaida brings Tatum in, but Tatum slips free of the suplex to roll Jaida! Jaida comes back, HIPNOTIC! It wasn’t all of it, so Jaida just runs to HIPNOTIC!! Cover, Jaida wins!
Winner: Jaida Parker, by pinfall
Tatum is tough, but Jaida is- OH, here comes Lola Vice! Refs and security stay in the way, even as Jaida wants after Lola! And then WENDY GRABS TATUM! Wendy has the Night-Night Clutch, and she drags Tatum, into a crate?! Wendy closes the crate, and is abducting Tatum! What nightmares will Tatum have this close to Halloween?
The No Quarter Catch Crew talks backstage.
And in steps Lexis King. He apologizes for interrupting, but he really just wants to thank them all again for helping with The Gentlemen’s Duel. But see, even though he won clean, Lexis feels there are people still doubting him. He doesn’t get it. Charlie Dempsey says around here, a change in perception takes time and can be a little rough. Lexis gets that, but he also realizes that he and Charlie have a lot in common. Technical prowess, fantastic facial hair, and a couple second generation guys trying to figure stuff out. But Lexis wants to get people to stop seeing him as a loose cannon. He’s a straight shooter now.
And he knows he joked about the Heritage Cup, but here’s no joke: people respect Dempsey. Surely Dempsey’s dad does, too. That is why Lexis needs to win that cup. It can give Lexis the respect he needs. Dempsey knows the feeling of stepping out of a father’s shadow. But does Lexis really think winning this cup really will change things? It’s worth a shot. Dempsey believes in what Lexis is trying to do. Myles, go tell Ava that Lexis will get a match. Myles asks, Huh?” Dempsey tells Lexis that he is getting the match for the cup, but it probably won’t get him what he wants. Lexis says, “We shall see.”
The two shake hands and Wren Sinclair says all Lexis needs now is a cornerman. Lexis thinks on that. He heads out, but who can this Drama King call upon after how he’s treated everyone?
Wendy Choo continues to wheel out her Tatum-in-a-box.
Je’Von Evans & Cedric Alexander see that and stay back. Axiom & Nathan Frazer walk over, and they note that in back to back main events, Je’Von was so close to becoming #1 contender. They tell him it’s fine, he’ll get there. Commiserations to the Young OG, back at the final hurdle again. But hey, Je’Von is young, there’s still time. Je’Von asks if Frazer’s trying to make fun of him or something, but Cedric has Je’Von calm. Frazer says hey, he’ll win the big one. Eventually. Like, it’ll take awhile, but still. Just get used to it, kid, Frazer dealt with all that stuff when he was Je’Von’s age. Axiom asks Frazer what he’s trying to do, but then Je’Von SLAPS Frazer!
Axiom keeps Frazer back, Cedric holds Je’Von. Je’Von says that is what happens! But then Wes Lee is there. He knew it was a matter of time before someone got under Je’Von’s skin. But hey, hate comes for you in all directions. First, it’s your age. Then it’s because you’re too successful. But again, Je’Von’s got time for that. Wes laughs as he walks away, and Cedric keeps Je’Von from getting too heated. What will it take for The Young OG to get some respect?
Stephanie Vaquer & Giulia speak.
La Primera says, “To be the first woman from South America to wrestle all over the world, I had to walk down unknown roads. Getting to places no one has ever reached, I am making history. I built myself up from scratch. And it wasn’t by accident, it wasn’t by luck. You hear the cliche about traveling the world, I have done it. I have conquered Europe, Japan, South America and Mexico. And not only that, I have collected championships all over the world. I have proven I am made of fire, and it doesn’t matter how many heads I have to crush. My goal… getting to WWE.”
The Beautiful Madness says the two of them met in Japan “standing across the ring from each other.” In that ring, there are no friends, there is no alliance. But they became friends after. Coming to NXT, they learned how different it is here, and that there was only one person Giulia could trust. someone who knows how hard it is as she does, with the same goal in mind. They don’t have titles around their waists, but once they finish with Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez this Sunday, that’s the next step. A dream tag match is on the horizon, who will stand tall after the Halloween Havoc?
An attack just went down backstage?!
Adriana Rizzo is down? Chairs and broken wood are everywhere as Luca Crusifino & Channing Lorenzo check on her. Tony D’Angelo storms in and asks what happened! They should for medical, and Rizzo clutches her elbow. Tony says he can watch over Rizzo, Luca has to go handle Oba! Luca & Stacks head out, but who would dare poke the bear with this attack on The D’Angelo Family?
Oba Femi VS Luca Crusifino w/ Channing Lorenzo!
The Ruler is 1-1 with The Don, and wants the NXT North American Championship back. They’re escalating things with Tables, Ladders & Scares this Sunday, but will the Consigliere be crushed before then? Or is there no such thing as a weak link in the D’Angelo Family?
The bell rings and Luca says he’s not afraid. Oba shoves, but then Luca dodges to fire fast hands! Luca whips, Oba reverses but Luca SHOTGUNS him! Luca runs but is put on the apron! Oba runs up, Luca ducks the boot to HOTSHOT that leg! Luca runs in but Oba blocks the whip. Oba whips but Luca goes up, only to get caught going over! Oba hits a SHOULDER BUSTER! Luca writhes, the fans rally for Oba, and Oba wrenches the arm. Oba YANKIS the arm, RAMS the shoulder, and repeat! Oba WRINGS Luca out, then stomps him around. Oba DECKS Luca, then KNEES him in the back! And KNEES him again!
Oba clamps onto Luca, but Luca fights up to JAWBREAKER! But Oba LARIATS in return! The fans rallies as Oba clamps on a COBRA CLUTCH! Luca endures, fights up, but Oba whips, only for Luca to JUMP KNEE! Stacks coaches Luca, and Luca fires hands! Oba clamps onto Luca, but Luca CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS! Luca turns Oba, but Oba shoves him away! Luca ducks the lariat to NECKBREAKER after all! The fans fire up as Luca rises, but Oba is right up! CHOKE- CODE BREAKER! Luca counters the power, and hurries to slingshot. Oba steps back to CHOP Luca down! Oba then storms in, to SHOTPUT Luca!!
Luca flounders, the fans fire up, and Oba reels Luca in, FALL FROM GRACE!! Cover, Oba wins!
Winner: Oba Femi, by pinfall
Luca put up a fight, but it wasn’t enough to topple the mountain! Stacks checks on Luca, but Oba TOSSES him! Oba rains down fists on Luca, then drags him up to POST him! Stacks returns to fire hands! But Oba SHOVES him out hard! Oba promised Tony would not have his family to support him in Hershey, and now he brings out things from under the ring! A toolbox, and then a TABLE! The fans fire up as Oba sets that table against the barriers, then picks up the toolbox. But Tony attacks! The fans rally, but Oba ROCKS Tony, and RAMS him into steel steps! The Don clutches his arm but Oba brings out zip ties!
Oba rains down fists on Tony, then ties Tony to the corner! Tony is stuck, and he can’t do a thing as Oba CLUBS him! Oba goes back for Stacks, and he makes sure Tony watches as Oba SHOTPUTS Stacks through the table!! Then Oba shoves Luca down, and he clears the desk! The fans go nuts as Oba brings out a LADDER! Oba is giving us a preview of Sunday as he makes a ladder bridge! Oba brings Luca up, and the scare is this POWERBOMB through the ladder!! The fans lose their minds as Tony’s family has suffered Oba’s wrath! Will The Don truly be all alone as he and The Ruler fight for the title one last time?
NXT prepares for a change.
Delta is on her way, ready for Halloween Havoc. But just as “Delta” means change, she transforms and has become… ZARIA.
Andre Chase speaks.
“Andre Chase University has all the little things in life. It’s all about empowerment, potential, giving opportunity to people when nobody else would, opening doors for them when others would slam them in their face. It’s a place where you can truly make a change for the better, if you want. But that wasn’t the case for you, was it, Ridge Holland?” Ridge came back to NXT looking for redemption, and together, one day at a time, Chase U was going to help him prove he was unrightfully labeled. For the first time, he felt what it was to belong. They won tag titles together, that redemption was there in his hands!
But that is when Chase realized, “The measure of a man doesn’t come in victory, it comes in defeat.” Chase realized there is no saving Ridge, that everyone was right all along. Chase can’t make Ridge feel the pain he caused Riley and Duke, and certainly not the heartbreak Thea felt. But Chase will make Ridge feel what he felt when he was put in an ambulance. So this Sunday, Halloween Havoc, Chase puts an end to Ridge’s misery IN AN AMBULANCE MATCH! Things are getting dangerous, but will this become a #TeachableMoment for everyone?
Ethan Page heads to the ring.
All Ego is here, the red in his ensemble very fitting given he is about to step onto The Devil’s Playground this Sunday. And speaking of, here comes Trick Williams! Tricky Two-Time Two-Time NXT Champion Williams is wearing the gold, as well as all white. Trick has the mic to say he appreciates everyone, and wants to get to the point. With what Ethan did to Trick last week, Trick should’ve come out here and dropped Ethan like a MakeSafe. But Trick promised Ava he wouldn’t do that, and that he’d wait until Sunday. But what Trick knows from last week is Ethan is scared. Ethan isn’t All Ego, he’s All Desperate!
Ethan has a mic to say, “Maybe. Maybe I am desperate. Or maybe that’s just what I wanted you to think.” Ethan says he knows when Trick looks at him, he thinks “There he is! A man that is always pointing at his smile and boasting about how great he is.” You might even know Ethan as a father, husband and a wrestler who has been in this game for over 17 YEARS. The fans do applaud that. But when Ethan talks about his 17 years, he often glosses over everything he had to go through to get here.
But he’ll tell us a little something. Ethan and Trick have had very different paths. Ethan never had a Performance Center with state of the art equipment. Staff on site 24/7, catering to everyone. Ethan never had the greatest minds in pro-wrestling coaching and guiding him, preparing him for a top position in the top company. Ethan had to go through Hell to get where Trick is today. Trick gets that, Ethan had to work hard, but Trick did, too. Trick won’t be shamed for being blessed. Oh, so he “gets it?” That line alone says Trick does NOT get it!
Ethan will ask Trick a question: Has Trick ever been busted open? Blood and sweat blurring his vision? And then, still get up and keep going? Has he ever been hit so hard that it tears flesh and you feel it all? And again, you have to get up and keep going! Better yet, has Trick ever tasted his own blood, and gotten that copper and salt taste that makes everyone else uneasy and queasy? But then have it happen so many times, that eventually, you start to like the taste!? Trick says he gets it, Ethan’s been through a lot to get here. And good to know Ethan is used to it, because Trick will bust him open this Sunday.
Ethan smiles with Trick, and says, “There he is! Yeah!” The fans chant ‘WHOOP DAT TRICK!” and Ethan says that’s the silver-tongued, smooth-talking, dressed-to-the-nines TWO-TIME NXT Champion, Trick Williams! All flash, and fake confidence. Speaking of flash, that’s why Ethan hit Trick with the light last week. It was to give Trick an idea of The Devil’s Playground. It is anything goes, and Ethan means anything. That only benefits one man, and that’s All Ego. Wait, why does Ethan think that? Oh c’mon, look at yourself, Trick! Trick looks great! All oiled up, abs out, bling, fur, not a single hair outta place. Trick is immaculate!
Hell, Trick even has every skill he needs to defend that title. The only thing is, Trick doesn’t have what Ethan has in him, and that is a devil inside of him! Trick just isn’t tough. And he isn’t built for this match. Is Ethan stupid or something? He may not have been here that long, but saying Trick isn’t tough is crazy. Did Ethan not see Trick go to war with Melo? With Ilja Dragunov FOUR TIMES? Everything with Pete Dunne? Oh, and Trick actually thinks those men are as savage as Ethan? You really think Melo thought of every single way he could inflict pain on Trick? Every option he had at hand?
Does Trick actually believe that those men thought of ways to make him regret of ever even trying to become a pro-wrestler? Sunday, Trick sees a version of Ethan that not only these people have not seen, but a version that we’ve ever seen in his entire career. Trick says All Ego is All Talk. He’s been talking since he got here. Ethan’s done everything BUT beat Trick. Ethan could never beat Trick. Ethan didn’t even pin Trick for the title. So like Trick said from the jump, Ethan is desperate to stay close to the title, but it won’t happen. Ethan asks if this looks like the face of a desperate man. Because yeah, he’s 1000% percent right!
It took 17 YEARS for Ethan to become a champion in the WWE! And after he got a taste, he became addicted. And Ethan promises he will satiate that addiction when he gets back what’s his! They are about to play on the Devil’s Playground! And for the first time in Trick’s career, he’ll actually go through hell as they play by the Devil’s Rules. AKA, Ethan’s rules! Trick says he looks forward to it. Trick has the last word, but will he have the last say on how this era of NXT goes?
Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez talk.
They can’t believe the big game Giulia & Stephanie Vaquer are talking. It is one thing to be a big deal everywhere else, and it is another to be a big deal in NXT like Cora & Roxie. The two hottest free agent signings of 2024 have zero chance against the pillars of this division. But if they actually liked them- Jacy Jayne interrupts by saying they don’t. No one likes Giulia & Vaquer. Fallon Henley says that’s because they don’t deserve to be here, like Kelani Jordan doesn’t deserve to be NXT Women’s North American Champion. That’s why The Fatal Influence will handle Kelani on Sunday, while Roxie & Cora handle Giulia & Vaquer. Or what’s left of them.
Roxie says yes, girls like Giulia & Vaquer come and go, but these five have been the backbone of NXT. Kelani steps in and says she actually agrees with them. They really have been holding up this division for the past three years. But now they’re nervous because they can feel it slipping through their little fingers. But ladies, which one is it facing her on Sunday? Out with it. Fallon says that’s cute. One day Kelani will learn is that when you have control, you don’t just give it up. She’ll find out on Sunday. As for tonight, the wheel determines what match they have. The Fatal Influence heads out, what will the future have in store for them all?
Sol Ruca VS Karmen Petrovic!
Just a bit of teasing from the Sol Surfer seemed to touch a nerve with the Blackbelt Beauty. Will Sol get Karmen to be honest with herself? Or will Karmen have everyone watching what they say around her?
NXT returns as Karmen makes her entrance, and we all see that Adonis is in the crowd talking up a different blonde. The bell rings and the two tie up. Karmen powers Sol back but Sol slips away. Sol says just focus, and they tie up again. Karmen headlocks, but sol fights the takeover. the fans rally, Sol powers up but Karmen uses the corner to tornado takeover! Karmen grinds the hold, Sol rolls to a cover, ONE! Karmen thrashes the headlock, btu Sol headscissors. The fans rally, Karmen moves around, and Karmen rolls Sol over. Karmen floats to the headlock, but Sol powers up and out. Karmen goes to sweep but Sol handsprings over!
The fans rally, Sol headlocks now, and Karmen fires body shots. Sol holds on, the fans sing, but Karmen fires more body shots. Karmen whips Sol to a corner, runs up, and MONKEY FLIPS, but Sol handsprings through! The fans fire up, and Sol sweeps the legs! Sol stands on Karmen, and uses her to hang ten! Sol steps off, and SUPERKICKS Karmen down! Cover, TWO! Karmen stays in this but Sol whips her to the corner. Karmen SOBATS, then glares at Adonis. Karmen hits a DISCUS LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Karmen clamps onto Sol and rains down fists! Sol kicks free and hurries away, but Karmen runs in to SLIDING KICK!
Karmen drags Sol up, bumps her off buckles, and KICKS away! The ref counts, Kamren shoves Sol down, and takes aim. Karmen runs up, wrenches, and JUMP KICKS Sol down! Cover, TWO! Sol toughs it out but Karmen frowns. Karmen drags Sol up, but Sol hits a CODE BREAKER! Karmen falls back and the fans fire up! Adonis doesn’t even care, he’s just talking to his lady friend. Karmen swings, Sol counter punches! Sol JABS and DECKS Karmen, then runs to springboard BODY BLOCK! And then CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Sol stays on Karmen, brings her up to whip her. Karmen dodges Sol but sol goes to the apron.
Sol ROUNDHOUSES Karmen, goes up, but Karmen KICKS her! ICONOCLASM! Karmen aims, winds up, and glares at Adonis as he heads out with his lady friend. That distracts Karmen, and SOL SNATCHER!! Cover, Sol wins!
Winner: Sol Ruca, by pinfall
All’s fair in love and war, but Karmen is letting those two get all mixed up! Will she be able to get her head and her heart sorted out so she can get some wins? Will Sol be riding a wave of momentum to a title in the meantime?
Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe talk with Nikkita Lyons.
The #TYGERS are happy to see Lyons back. She’s killing it! She thanks them and she is on the prowl. Best believe that after what she’s been through, she’ll always pounce first. But what’ve they been up to? Well, they’re just waiting for their chance. When that moment comes, they’ll be ready. Okay, but hold on, you don’t know when that moment comes. You gotta be aggressive. Don’t wait for tomorrow, you gotta do it today. Take it from someone who got blindsided, you have to take. Oba Femi picks up Lyons’ coat and says she dropped this. He hands it to her and she thanks him. Oba says no, thank you.
Wait, what? What did Oba mean by that? Is there something going on between The Ruler and The Lyoness?
OTM VS Hank ‘n’ Tank w/ Cole Custer!
A dispute over parking spaces sounds like something you’d get in a corporate job, but it seems pro-wrestling isn’t different from any other job. But then who gets the job done with a big win here tonight?
Hank ‘n’ Tank make their entrance, only for Nima & Price to rush out and meet them on the ramp! The fans fire up for the brawl, and Tank ROCKS Price! Hank BOOTS Nima, then puts him on the apron. Tankr uns in to BODY BLCOK Nima off the apron! Cole fires up with the boys, and then Hank KNEES Price. Hank puts Price in, the bell rings, and the hands continue to fly!

Fraxiom talk with Ava Raine.
Frazer is heated, “Je’Von has done NOTHING in NXT and he wants to slap me in the face!?” Frazer wants a match! Je’Von, Cedric, both of them, even with the titles! Ava says maybe run that by your partner first. Frazer says Axiom’s fine with it! Axiom isn’t fine with it, though! But are they the best tag team or not? They are. Then they’ll see Je’Von & Cedric next week. Fraxiom heads out, and in steps Lexis King. He knows Ava is busy with whatever that was just about, but he needs some help. He needs a cornerman for the Heritage Cup match, and everyone he has asked has said no. It’s like they don’t trust him or something.
Hmm, no one trusts the king? Yeah, can’t she just point to someone for him to ask? No, Lexis, that’s not how this works. No one can be forced to be his cornerman. Lexis sighs. No one trusts him because they all think he’s like his dad, but everyone loves Ava because everyone loves her dad. He’ll stop wasting her time. Lexis heads out, will he just have to go it alone against the No Quarter Catch Crew?
Ridge Holland speaks.
Well, first he laughs menacingly, and then asks, “Mr. Chase, why all the anger? All the hostility for one of your former, let’s just say, ‘students.’ After all, I wore the Chase U colors proudly. But Chase, how’s it feel as a teacher to always have control? To now having none. Watching your creation be torn apart piece by piece. The cathedral that is Chase U be torn down brick by brick, member by member, until the only one standing in front of me… is you. Are you sure that you want an Ambulance Match at Halloween Havoc? Because now I can freely be the man that everyone slated me to be: The most dangerous man in all of NXT!
“This Sunday, Chase U gets destroyed for good! And you? You’ll be taking your last ride!” Ridge closes ambulance doors, will he do that for real in Hershey, Pennsylvania?

Tony says he doesn’t know what’s going on. Someone took out Rizzo, then Oba ties Tony to the ring while he beats the snot out of Luca & Stacks. Halloween Havoc won’t be about who climbs up the ladder faster to grab the belt. Oba has made it more than that! Tony took what Oba loved, Oba returned the favor. Sunday, it will be more than just a championship match. Tony will use every table, ladder and chair he can to beat Oba’s ass!!
Tony tells Oba that he wanted Tony all alone, but careful what you wish for, because Sunday, he gets it. The Don is furious, will Oba regret pushing him this far?

Bronson Reed arrives.
The Colossal Aussie is in Philadelphia, but there’s no brotherly love as SETH FREAKIN’ ROLLINS ATTACKS! The Visionary came outta nowhere, and now uses Bronson’s own luggage to beat him down! Security drags Rollins away but Rollins says he’s just getting started! Rollins dares Bronson to join him in the ring, and that’s where Rollins is going! He throws off his blue sequin jacket at someone in gorilla, then storms right to the ring! The fans fire up and sing Rollins’ song, but Rollins grabs a mic to say cut the music! “Philly, let’s get crazy, right here, right now! Bronson Reed! You wanna be famous, big boy? I’ll make your ass famous! Get out here, and let’s FIGHT!”
The fans are fired up, but Pearce says no no no! But then Bronson TOSSES security out of his way! Bronson heads for the ring, but it takes half a dozen men to drag him down!

More security rushes in but fans boo! Rollins and Bronson are separated, but not for long as they both get free! Rollins BOOTS Bronson, gets moving, but he runs into a DEATTH VALLEY DRIVER! Bronson hurries up top, but Rollins hurries out! So Bronson just FLYING SHOULDER TACKLES!
The fans are going nuts as Bronson clears the desk! Bronson drags Rollins up and HEADBUTTS him onto the desk! The security tries to stop Bronson but Bronson is climbing the barriers! He SHOVES guards off him, one guy becomes a backpack! So Bronson TOSSES that guy onto the rest! And then with Rollins on the desk, TSUNAMI! But only Bronson hits the desk! Rollins avoids disaster and the fans go nuts! Rollins is also going nuts, he wants after Bronson again! Security and even producers herd Rollins away, and Bronson rises up!

Backstage interview with Damage CTRL.
Jackie Redmond is with Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane and says that tomorrow night on NXT, they have a match with Meta Four’s Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson. They arguably coast DMG CTRL the tag titles, so is there anything DMG CTRL wants to say first? Iyo says that Lash & Jakara are just in the way. DMG CTRL are not done with Jade & Bianca. Soon, they will be WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions again! But then Liv Morgan steps in and says sorry not sorry, she needs to talk about what Nia Jax did to her last week. Jackie, you can go. Thanks, bye. Jackie steps out and Liv talks to camera.
“Nia, if you’re watching this, which I know you are, I know you only came to MY show last week because you’re just jealous of me. You’re jealous of me because I have it all. I have the Women’s World Championship, I have Dirty Dom, I have The Judgment Day, I have Raquel Rodriguez, and after I beat you at Crown Jewel, I’m gonna have the Crown Jewel Championship, too.” Kairi speaks up, “Choto, choto, choto. <Hey, hey, hey.>” Liv says she’s not done, but Kairi says she interrupted THEIR interview. Liv doesn’t care. Kairi tells them to go away, Iyo echoes it, and Liv says oh, they’re mad because they’re talking about the tag team titles.
But see, Liv & Raquel were champions before Rhea cost them. That means they could be tag team champions again any time they want. Iyo says Liv is not skipping the line! DMG CTRL could fight later, or they could fight TONIGHT! Raquel stares Iyo & Kairi down, and Liv says if they wanna fight, then let’s fight. Raquel, Liv, and Liv’s platform shoes leave, will they truly be standing tall after taking down The Evil Genius & The Pirate Princess?
WWE World Tag Team Championship#1 Contenders Tournament Opening Round: The New Day VS Authors of Pain w/ The Final Testament!
Speaking of tag team supremacy, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods want to return to that, even if that means fighting through the biggest and the baddest. And well, that’s where they’re starting! Will New Day be the ones writing this story? Or will Akam & Rezar make this the Final Chapter?

She gives the introductions as AOP makes their entrance, Final Testament leading the way. The teams sort out, and Woods starts against Akam. They circle, Woods waistlocks, and then headlocks.

Kofi IMPLODER SPLASHES! Woods goes up the ropes to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Woods brings Akam up to wrench an arm, and YANK it! And YANK it! And CLUB away on it! Tag to Kofi and he climbs up, to DOUBLE STOMP the arm! Kofi wrenches, RAMS, and grinds the arm! Akam pulls hair, the ref reprimands, but Akam puts Kofi in a corner. Kofi dodges to CHOP! The fans fire up, and Kofi wrenches Akam to tag Woods. Woods goes up to AX HANDLE! Woods wrenches the arm again, but Kam keeps him from Kofi! URENAGE, and Akam DECKS Kofi for good measure! Woods bails out, but Karrion Kross is lurking.
Kross asks if Woods wants to shake his hand now. They can stop this if Woods just shakes his head. The fans rally, the ring count starts, but wait! Miz is watching from the front row now? Kross nods to Miz while Rezar tags in. Rezar CLUBS Woods down, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Woods endures a bearhug from Rezar! Kross talks with Miz, making the sales pitch to join Final Testament. Woods fights with elbows, but Rezar shoves him back.

Producers rush over to help separate these two, but what IS Pearce going to do if this madness is to stop?
Backstage interview with Jey Uso.
Cathy Kelley is with the Intercontinental Champion and says the tensions have escalated. Ahead of his match with Bron Breakker, could he address the issues going on with The Bloodline on SmackDown? Jey says yeah, it’s a bit ironic. We’re in the City of Brotherly Love but he has no love for his brothers right now. But he said what he said on Friday. It is what it is. But tonight is about this belt on his shoulder. Jey Uso VS Bron Breakker, Round 2. But Jey promises that tonight, the people will here #AndStill Intercontinental Champion, Main Event Jey Uso~! YEET.
Raquel Rodriguez speaks.
Big Mami Cool says Rhea’s business won’t end until she gets the world title back. Mamita, as long as Raquel is here, that will NEVER happen! Bad Blood was a warning, chiquita. Don’t think Raquel forgot what Rhea did to Liv, taking her out with a torn shoulder for six MONTHS. And Raquel hasn’t forgotten what Rhea did to them both when she cost them the tag titles! Reha, the only reason you rose up was because Raquel was gone. But she’s back now, and the smartest thing to do would be walk away. But we all know Rhea won’t. So since Rhea won’t end this, Raquel will. Ricky Desperado has put Rhea on notice, will Rhea heed the warning?
Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez VS Damage CTRL!
Speaking of warnings, Liv & Raquel have sent theirs to Nia and Rhea, and Iyo & Kairi sent one to Lash & Jakara. Who backs up all that talk with a big win here tonight?
Raw returns and we see Meta Four is watching from the front row, again. Will they affect things like last time? Then Liv & Raquel make their entrance, but uh, where is Dominik Mysterio?

Seth Rollins finds Pearce.
They argue about how things have gone down tonight, but BRONSONÂ POUNCES ROLLINS!! Rollins is sent onto tables and Bronson hammers away! Yet again, these two are separated and Pearce shouts, “ENOUGH! ENOUGH!! Did either one of you selfish bastards stop to think for one second that I was gonna give you what you want? No, of course not! But you are! At Crown Jewel! Bronson Reed, Seth Rollins, a definitive victor! Now get them outta my building!” Rollins laughs as he and Bronson are hauled away, but Bronson says this is the worst mistake Rollins has ever made! Will there be nothing but blood and sand after this showdown?
The War Raiders speak.
“As we walked this path, there’s been setbacks that would’ve ended lesser men.” “But we rise time and again.” “But we’ve shed our armor, and headed to our future without fear.” “We look to our ancestors, the Viking warriors of the past, for inspiration.” “They crossed oceans, conquering everything in their path.” “We, too, have traveled the word, raiding gold far and wide.” “Your time to run and hide… has ended.” Erik & Ivar have made their impact, advancing in the World Tag Team Championship Contenders tournament. Will they completely take over before it is all said and done?
The Judgment Day regroups.
Finn Balor, JD McDonagh & Carlito are in the clubhouse as Dom, Liv & Raquel return. The Irish Ace asks what they think of the new spot, and Raquel says, “You wanna know what I think? What I think is what I need to do is to find Rhea Ripley. And when I do, I am gonna RIP her head off!” Liv calms Raquel down and says they’ll deal with Rhea when the time is right. For now, Liv needs to focus on Nia at Crown Jewel, and the boys need to focus on their tag titles. Right, Finn? Finn says everyone knows he and JD can handle any team on Earth. What he is worried about is Damian Priest making another claim at the World Heavyweight Championship.
Liv thought they were done with Priest. Dom says, “What if I’m the one who beats Gunther for the world title?” The others laugh, except for Liv. Liv says that’s not cool, Daddy Dom could totally beat Gunther. JD has Finn calm down about others wanting the world title, and then Raquel asks Carlito what he even does around here. Uh… Well, let’s just say he brings the cool factor. And he’s the fixer. In fact, he’ll fix this right now. Dom is going to be a champion in no time! Carlito heads out to talk to Pearce. Finn backstabbed Priest over the world title, will he be compelled to do it again to Dom?

DMG CTRL talks with Pearce.
They’re obviously upset and he knows, he saw what Meta Four did. He will talk with Ava Raine about this, they will figure out a solution, he gives them his word. DMG CTRL accept that and head out, still riled up. But in steps Carlito. Carlito says he has to learn Chinese. Sigh… What does Carlito want? He heard from a little birdie that Pearce needs challengers for Gunther. Carlito has just the guy: Dominik Mysterio. Pearce laughs really hard at that. Oh, wait, Carlito’s serious? DOM?! No, Dom hasn’t done, well, anything to deserve a shot. And if Dom wants the shot, why is Carlito asking for it? Because he’s the fixer.
And what is he fixing? Aw c’mon, Pearce! Give Dom a chance! Please? Fine! Dom gets his chance. Let Dom know that next week, if he can beat a former world champion, then Dom will be a contender. Carlito thanks Pearce, they shake hands, and Carlito heads out. Pearce needs a drink. But just who will Pearce set Dom up against to prove he’s worthy of Der Ring General’s time?
Backstage interview with Bron Breakker.
Jackie is now with the Badass and says in moments, he faces Jey Uso for the Intercontinental Championship. Is he feeling any more confident knowing that Jey is a bit preoccupied with his family? Bron says he didn’t come here for a Philly cheesesteak. He is here to take back what is his and that is the Intercontinental Championship. Bron does respect Jey Uso. Jey as a champion si great. But Jey is not a focused champion. Jey has all kinds of family drama going on, which is exactly why Bron takes back that title. Now, Bron IS a Badass, so it is time to do what badasses to do. He has one question for us: We got any dogs barking in Philly?!
The fans can be heard barking, and Bron makes his entrance. Will Breakker back up all that talk by breaking Jey? Or is Jey going to YEET Bron to the back of the line?
Backstage interview with Gunther.
Cathy is with Der Ring General, the World Heavyweight Champion, and says he has his eyes set on becoming the first-ever Crown Jewel Champion. Cathy asks Gunther if he has a response to Cody Rhodes’ invitation to SmackDown for Friday. Gunther says he doesn’t understand, even though Cody does it every time, is that Cody drags those closest to him into his business matters. Mentioning his daughter as his reason why was totally uncalled for. Cody just loves the drama. It has nothing to do with family, and everything to do with a match between generational champions for the newly established Crown Jewel Championship.
The winner gets to establish the legacy of that title. And no disrespect, Cody is a fantastic champion on top of his game. But to be honest, the title he is holding was established long before his time. Gunther thinks Cody is just one of many. Unlike Gunther. Gunther is one of one. Everything he touches turns to gold. So yes, he will be in Brooklyn on Friday. But then in steps Priest! Priest says relax, no one is walking in here to smack Gunther up. Yet. Priest has no issue with Gunther anymore, all his issues were with Judgment Day. Priest handled that. So it is only fair that now, he gets back what he never should’ve lost in the first palce.
And before Gunther says anything, Priest isn’t looking for a handout. He’ll earn that shot like he has everything else. So Gunther can go to Crown Jewel, handle business, and when he comes back, he’ll have a problem with Priest. In fact, he’ll have a big problem because Priest is going to again become El Campeon. Gunther says okay, “El Campeon,” good for you. Gunther heads out, but will we see him and The Punisher run it back?
WWE Intercontinental Championship: Jey Uso VS Bron Breakker!
Raw returns and Jey makes his entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly badass!
The bell rings, the fans fire up, and the two stare down. Then the haymakers start flying! The fans “YEET!” for Jey and “BOO!” for Bron! “YEET! BOO! YEET! BOO!” Jey ROCKS Bron, whips him, but Bron reverses. Jey goes up and over, then UPPERCUTS! “YEET! Bron staggers around, Jey runs up to LARIAT him up and out! The fans fire up as Jey watches Bron. Bron snarls and grits his teeth, but Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and the fans rally while Bron CHOKES Jey on ropes! The ref counts, Bron mocks the yeet bounce, but Bron lets off at 4. Jey sputters and rolls to the apron, but Bron storms out there after him. Bron drags Jey up, reels him in, and he suplexes, only for Jey to block! The fans fire up as Jey lifts, but Bron fights it! They fight for control, but then Bron RAMS Jey into the post! Bron brings Jey back up, RAMS him back into the post, then snarls as he looms over Jey. Bron stands Jey up, turns him around, and APRON BACKBREAKERS! Jey flops to the floor and Bron snarls. The ref wants this in the ring, but Bron soaks up the heat.
Bron hops down, drags Jey up, and SMACKS him off the apron! Bron pushes Jey in the ring, drags him up again, and whips him to the corner hard! Jey bounces off buckles and falls to the mat. Bron soaks up more heat, then goes back for Jey. Bron stands Jey up but Jey ROCKS him with a right! And another! And another! Bron wobbles, Jey ROCKS him more! Jey whips, Bron reverses but Jey leaps! Only for Bron to catch him! BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Bron does pushups just to show off. The fans boo but Bron looms over Jey. Bron then drags Jey up, DECKS him with a right hand, then STANDING MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO!
Jey stays in this but Bron smirks. The fans rally and Jey grits his teeth, but Bron stalks him. Bron tells Jey to just give up already. Bron stomps Jey, taunts the fans, “I’m a badass!” Bron drags Jey up again, but Jey blocks to fire hands! “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey pops, locks ‘n’ puts some stank on the HAYMAKER! “YEET! Jey throws off the armbands and the wrist tape, and he gets an “UCE! OH!” Jey runs in, Bron puts him on the apron, but Jey GAMANGIRIS! Bron staggers, Jey climbs, but Bron goes after Jey! Jey fires hands, Bron hits back! Bron climbs up, brings Jey to the top, but Jey fights! Jey HEADBUTTS, and HEADBUTTS, and Bron staggers back!
But Bron springs right back up! SUPER STEINER! Cover, TWO! Bron is frustrated but the fans rally up as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns once again and Bron RAMS Jey into a corner! Bron puts Jey up top again, then climbs, but Jey again fights! Jey SHOVES Bron away, slips down, and runs up to SPEAR! Cover, TWO!! Bron survives and Jey grows frustrated. The fans rally up, Jey catches his breath and rises up, but wait! The fans notice someone heading to ringside, and it’s THE BLOODLINE! Solo Sikoa mockingly holds up a Yeet shirt! He shows he has tickets, he’s here as a fan, Uce! Jey is upset with his brother, and the fans chan tfor “O T C! O T C!” Jey asks why Solo is here and Solo says he’s here to help him win.
Solo says look out! Bron runs up but Jey ROCKS him first! They get in the ring, Bron KNEES Jey down! Bron drags Jey up to TOSS him back out. Bron goes out after Jey to then whip, but Jey reverses! Bron hits POST! The fans fire up and wait! Tonga Loa & Tama Tonga are on the other end? They cheer Jey on and pat his shoulders, but Jey pushes them back. Jey SUPERKICKS Loa! Jey DUMPS Loa down, but has to dodge Tama! Jey SUPERKICKS Tama! The fans boo The Bloodline but Solo says his guys were trying to help! Solo jumps the barriers, he and Jey argue, and Jey is not falling for the gaslighting.
Bron lurks! Bron runs up, Solo pushes Jey aside! The SPEAR hits Solo!! The Tribal Chief actually helps Jey! But then Bron comes back to KNEE Jey! Bron pushes Jey into the ring, but here comes Jacob Fatu! The Samoan Werewolf is upset that Bron hit his Tribal Chief! Bron sees Jacob, and the straps come down! The fans are going nuts as these two animals stare down! But then Jey DIVES onto them both! Jey wipes out Bron AND Jacob, and the fans are thunderous! Jey drags Bron up, puts him in the ring, “This is Awesome!” as Jey hurries up a corner. USO SPLASHÂ but onto knees! Bron sets up in a corner now!
Bron runs, runs, and JEY HURDLES! SUPERKICK! Bron wobbles into another SUPERKICK! Jey runs to SPEAR!! Jey hurries up top again, USO SPLASH!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Bron survives and Jey cannot believe it! The fans boo, they don’t believe it, either! And now Tama & Loa distract the ref! The ref calls in reinforcements and the producers get the Guerillas of Destiny to leave ringside. Jey isn’t sure what to make of this, but he sees Bron stirring. Jey decides to borrow one of Bron’s plays, and he runs in, but JACOB SUPERKICKS JEY!! The Samoan Werewolf fireman’s carries, to SAMOAN DROP Jey on the desk!!
The ref misses this from having to help with Tama & Loa! Jacob gets Solo outta there while Bron grins. Bron drags Jey off the desk, puts him in the ring, and Bron roars! Bron runs, runs, and SPEARS!! Cover, BRON WINS!
Winner: Bron Breakker, by pinfall (NEW WWE Intercontinental Champion)
The Badass had a point about Jey’s family drama getting in Jey’s way. Jey just wanted his family’s feud to end peacefully, and Solo has to go and ruin things for him. The belt is back on Bron, will he make sure to never let it go again? As for Jey, will he have no choice but to fight his own brother?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode of Raw here tonight, and I love that there was chaos right from the start. They framed Bronson’s arrival to the arena so well, you really could see Rollins run in from somewhere to then run right up on Bronson. Great stuff from them both and of course they’re getting their match now, but I’m a little surprised it is for Crown Jewel. At the same time, not much has even been made for Crown Jewel in terms of the card, so this match happening over in Saudi Arabia is great stuff. Rollins is a big name, and Bronson is surely a rising star, this is great stuff for them both. No idea who wins, but the winner will surely be in the world title conversation.
Great overlapping of stories in the women’s division, with Liv & Raquel stepping on toes with DMG CTRL, even as they’re all building other feuds. The tag match was great, but I just knew that with Meta Four on site, they were going to “ruin” the match. As I’ve said before, I hope this builds to a big tag title match for Survivor Series, Meta Four representing NXT, DMG CTRL representing Raw and possibly Piper & Chelsea for SmackDown. As for Liv & Raquel, great stuff with Rhea sending them all running to keep that story alive. Maybe they add Rhea VS Raquel to Crown Jewel, that’d be great stuff that also keeps the story moving.
With that, they also had a great segue into the rest of the Judgment Day story. I like that Dom thinking he can beat Gunther makes the others laugh. After what Pearce said, Dom’s definitely facing Priest, who is a former world champion. Priest also had a good promo with Gunther, and that has to be what’s next going into Survivor Series. Finn being surly about someone else getting the shot while he’s still just a tag champ is also good stuff, I can’t wait to see what he does with that.
Speaking of the tag titles, great stuff in each of the tournament matches tonight. Both results were surprising to me, but definitely the right moves all things considered. Truth going after Miz and helping New Day was good stuff, and yet I should’ve figured Woods would be selfish and leave Truth hanging. But the Wyatt Sick6 showing up was great stuff, because it was clear they were going to feud with Miz and Final Testament. Great match from LWO VS American Made, and Zelina interacting with Ivy was good stuff, too. Zelina VS Ivy would be a great match, can’t wait to see that. LWO advancing is great, but it still feels like The War Raiders are going to challenge Finn & JD.
And great stuff in the Intercontinental Championship story that also ended up being The Bloodline story. I should’ve figured Solo and crew would cost Jey, but the detail of Solo claiming he’s helping and then actually trying to be helpful was good stuff. It backfired on Solo, and so his help turned into hinderance, Jey loses so now he has nothing but that feud. As for Bron getting this belt back, he’s got any number of possibilities for challengers, maybe it could be Sheamus. Remember that Sheamus hasn’t ever held the Intercontinental Championship, and he could definitely give Bron banger after banger.
My Score: 9/10
