PLAY BY PLAY

Last week’s NXT was wild!

A new NXT Cruiserweight Champion was crowned! The Undisputed Era is being pursued on all sides! And Goldie… “Daddy’s home.” Just what more could go down this week?!

 

Tommaso Ciampa VS Angel Garza!

The wait is over! The Blackheart of NXT is back in action, and if he has his way, Garza won’t survive! Will this be little more than a message sent to the Undisputed Era’s leader, Adam Cole?

The bell rings and fans chant, “Ciampa’s gonna kill~ you!” Garza runs in, but Ciampa puts him in a corner and yanks him out with a headlock. Garza powers out but Ciampa runs him over! Things speed up, Ciampa throws Garza tor opes but Garza dodges and rolls off the back. Ciampa dodges, but so does Garza. Garza then stops to offer a handshake. Ciampa kicks it away but gets an enziguri for it! Ciampa gets out of the ring but Garza builds speed, only for Ciampa to use his baseball slide against him! Ciampa then rams Garza into barriers and then onto steel steps! Ciampa gives himself a pat on the back and fans cheer! Garza gets to the ring but Ciampa is on him. Garza and Ciampa throw hands, Ciampa whips but Garza reverses. Garza gets caught in underhooks but he powers Ciampa to the corner. Garza runs into a back elbow, but he trips Ciampa up to dropkick the legs out! Garza has Ciampa down and dropkicks him out of the ring!

Ciampa gets up but Garza builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit wipes Ciampa out to the ramp! Garza puts Ciampa in fast, then climbs up top, to leap and missile dropkick! Fans duel as Garza rips those pants away! And throws them at Ciampa! Ciampa DECKS Garza for it! Ciampa stomps a mudhole into Garza’s grinning face, and gives him a running knee wash! Garza is dazed as he bails out of the ring. Ciampa takes Garza’s torn away pants and stomps them out! And then gives the tights a devastating knee! He puts the pants in the underhooks, to throw them at Garza! Garza gets in, Willow’s Bell draping DDT! Cover, Ciampa wins!!

Winner: Tommaso Ciampa, by pinfall

No one will survive, and no thing as Ciampa beats up both Garza and his tearaway tights. Will Ciampa tear Goldie away from Adam Cole in the very near future?

But speaking of, here comes the Undisputed Era! Roderick Strong is even sending a message to Velveteen Dream with those sunglasses. The Era heads for the ring, but Ciampa is again armed with a chair and his camouflage clutch! The Era flanks the ring, but Cole has Kyle O’Reilly give something to commentary. A USB drive? The Era want us to take a look at what’s on the drive tonight. With that, the Era actually leaves without so much as a word to Ciampa. What are the boys #DrapedInGold trying to play at?

 

The USB drive had a video on it!

The NXT production crew checked it and has approved it, now the whole world gets to see it. It starts with O’Reilly pretending this is a breaking news update from the Era. Adam Cole says an example needs to be made. He is “sick and tired” of the Era not being taken seriously, and Roderick Strong made The Velveteen Dream pay for his mistake of embarrassing him! “There are consequences for your actions!” And as for Finn Balor and Ciampa, COle warns them both not to get in the way or this happens to them. They let Dream “sleep,” and then Strong breaks the three-eye glasses! O’Reilly closes with, “Dream Over.” But what will NXT GM William Regal have to say about this?

 

Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch VS Imperium!

The crossover continues as the One Two combo of the BritAm Brawlers takes on Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel. The Ax Man, Alexander Wolfe, will be by his comrades’ side, will he be an x-factor tonight?

The teams sort out and we begin with Burch and Aichner as fans already chant, “ONE TWO!” The two circle with the bell and tie up. Aichner headlocks and holds on as Burch goes to power out. Burch pries his way out and gets a hammerlock. Aichner slips around and hammerlocks to toss Burch! Burch comes back and headlocks Aichner, but Aichner powers out. Burch runs Aichner over and tags in Oney. They double whip and double shoulder Aichner down! Oney stands Aichner to CHOP! Tag to Burch, and another double whip, but Aichner dodges to elbow and BOOT! Aichner puts Burch in the corner and tags Barthel. Barthel bumps Burch on buckles to whip corner to corner. Burch reverses but runs into a boot. Barthel hops up, and leaps into a headbutt! Burch clotheslines and enziguris to then hop up and leap, missile dropkick! And a kip-up! Fans fire up but Aichner tags in.

Burch rallies on Imperium but Barthel rams him into buckles. Barthel hangs Burch upside down, Imperium meets with double dropkicks! Imperium poses and soak up the heat while NXT goes to break.

NXT returns and Barthel bends Burch back with his chinbar. Burch fights up, jawbreakers free, and spins Barthel for a JAB! Tag to Oney! Full Sail fires up as Oney rallies on Aichner with European Uppercuts! Oney aims as Aichner bails out, slingshot pescado! Barthel hurries over but Oney just blasts him onto Aichner! Tag to Burch and Oney FLIES Onto Imperium! He feeds Aichner in and Burch clotheslines! German Suplex, to tag team powerbomb! Jackknife bridge, TWO!! Burch didn’t quite keep his balance there, but he brings Aichner to Oney. Oney tags and the One Two work together. But Barthel saves Aichner only to be thrown out. Barthel drags Burch out and Aichner CHOPS Oney! Oney CHOPS back! They have a CHOP fight!

Aichner CHOPS, kicks, uppercuts, but misses the clothesline! Tag to Barthel but Oney blasts him out! Aichner waistlocks but Oney standing switches, back suplex but Aichner escapes. Aichner is in a corner but Oney hits a back elbow! And then goes corner to corner, but misses! Barthel hits an uppercut, feed to Aichner’s BRAIN BUSTER! Barthel hits Burch then DIVES! Aichner triangle springboard moonsaults! Cover, TWO!! Fans duel, “One Two!” “NEIN!” as the two men crawl. Aichner stands and drags Oney up, but Oney breaks free to CHOP! And CHOP! Oney scoops, Aichner escapes to tag Barthel. Oney just CHOPS away on them both! The Fury fires up, but runs into a SPINEBUSTER! Penalty Kick! Imperium EuroBomb!! Cover, Imperium wins!!

Winners: Imperium, Barthel pinning

The takeover of both NXT UK and USA continues! With Aichner and Barthel in the tag team division on both brands, will they soon hold both tag titles?

 

NXT looks closer at Johnny Gargano.

Johnny Wrestling had humble beginnings as just a boy with a dream. But he came to NXT, formed DIY, and even became enemies with his closest friend. “I will do whatever it takes to finally have my moment.” The first ever Triple Crown Champion in NXT history, Gargano is #NXT4Life! Will Gargano live the dream forever?

 

Backstage interview with Johnny Gargano.

But given his history with Tommaso Ciampa, what are his thoughts at his return tonight? They’ve had their ups, their downs, but Gargano won’t know what to say about how he feels, until he sees Ciampa for himself. Will the Rebel Heart and Blackheart be friends or foes in this new phase of their NXT legacies?

 

Io Shirai VS Kayden Carter!

The Evil Genius continues her descent into madness as she rises back up in the ranks. Will she be able to find sadistic satisfaction against “The Perfect Storm”?

The bell rings and Kayden rushes Shirai to trip her up. Things then speed up, and Kayden cartwheels over Shirai. Shirai shows she can handspring, too, then she whips Kayden, and handsprings through Kayden’s huricanrana! Shirai runs Kayden over and covers but Kayden Matrix escapes to cover, TWO! The two speed demons stand off, but they suddenly go again. Kayden catches Shirai in a waistlock and rolls her up, TWO, but Kayden quickly springboards and dropkicks Shirai down! Shirai bails out but Kayden is on the apron, only to get caught and tripped up! Shirai puts Kayden in as fans duel. Shirai springboards and missile dropkicks Kayden back! Cover, TWO! Shirai keeps her cool as she drags Kayden up by her hair. Shirai whips but Kadyen slips around to crucifix to sunset, but Shirai breaks free. Shirai misses her stomp, Kayden sweeps the legs then kicks from the mat!

Shirai and Kayden slowly rise, and Kayden runs in, springboard wheelbarrow victory roll, to mule kick! Cover, TWO! Kayden keeps focus as she drags Shirai up. Shirai shoves her away but Kayden forearms and wheelbarrows again. Shirai blocks to a German Suplex! Shirai steps on Kayden to then climb, for her Descent Into Darkness! Cover, Shirai wins!

Winner: Io Shirai, by pinfall

Her signature moonsault is still her ace card, and she’s rolling towards the top! But Shirai isn’t done, she snatches up a mic to speak.

“Not Rhea. Not Bianca. Shayna, it’s ME!” But then Rhea Ripley appears! The Mosh Pit Kid heard her name, and isn’t just going to stay put hearing someone talk. Rhea stands with Shirai in the ring, and they stare down. Rhea snatches Shirai’s mic to say, “last week, Bianca decided to run her mouth. And next week, I get to put her back in her place. But Io, if you ever spit my name out of your mouth again, then I have no problem shutting you up, too!” Fans want to see that right here and now, but Shirai talks trash in Japanese as she takes her leave. It seems that the Queen of Spades again has a handful of hunters after her gold, but who comes out as her #1 contender?

 

Breakout superstar, Boa, speaks.

It is mostly in Mandarin, but clearly after what Killian Dain did to him last week, Boa wants the Northern Ireland Nightmare to man up and try that face to face! Boa is raring for a fight, but will he get the Beast of Belfast fair and square?

 

Cathy Kelly interviews William Regal.

She and the NXT GM are on the NXT balcony to discuss a medical update on Velveteen Dream, and whether or not this jeopardizes next week’s North American Championship rematch. Regal says that Dream is unfortunately not able to compete, and not for some time after “the absolutely brutal beating by the Undisputed Era.” But Strong will still defend that title, against the winner of Lee VS Dijakovic!! As if the forth match between those titans wasn’t big enough, now it’s for a truly golden opportunity!

 

NXT North American Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Keith Lee VS Dominik Dijakovic!

Roderick Strong may regret what he did to Dream tonight! Because one way or another, he faces a man that is both incredibly strong, physically intimidating and unbelievably agile! Will Strong #BaskInHisGlory or #FeastHisEyes in next week’s title match?

The bell rings and fans sing for Lee. Lee and Dijakovic stare down again, but Dijakovic draws the line and dares Lee to cross it. Fans chant “Keith Lee! Woop woop!” Lee and Dijakovic back up, to then run at each other! They ram shoulders but neither falls. They go again, another collision! Then another, and Dijakvoic headlocks. Lee powers out, they collide and Lee staggers back, only to rebound and ram Dijakovic again! Dijakovic kneels, and Lee has his arm! Lee clamps on a knuckle lock, and then lifts Dijakovic with one arm! He lets Dijakovic down, and fans sing again. Dijakovic reaches for ropes, but swings into a whip. Things speed up and Lee leap frogs to then run Dijakovic over! Lee drops a splash on the bad arm! Cover, ONE, but Lee keeps his cool.

Lee looms over Dijakovic and brings him up. Lee wrenches the bad arm and then wristlocks, but Dijakovic gets a ropebreak. Lee lets up but gets a sucker BOOT! Dijakovic throws big elbows and knees, then hits a big LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Lee is rocked and Dijakovic grins as we go picture in picture.

Dijakovic gets up first and clubs Lee on his back. Dijakovic hits Lee with big forearm shots, then CHOPS! Lee powers up to Grizzly Magnum CHOP! Lee throws knees and then facelocks Dijakovic, to suplex! But Dijakovic fights free to rock Lee with a right! Dijakovic throws back elbows and clubbing forearms to then reel Lee in. Even with a bad arm, Dijakovic says, “Time to Fly!” He suplex TOSSES Lee! Cover, TWO! Lee is tough as ever, and Dijakovic looms over him. Dijakovic rams Lee with knees, then pulls back on a chinbar. Lee stands up but Dijakovic wrangles him back down. Lee endures and slowly fights his way up as fans rally. Dijakovic elbows Lee on the back then boot shim in the head, and Lee staggers to ropes. Dijakovic keeps on him with clubbing forearms, and then big haymakers. Lee comes back with a spinning left hand! Dijakovic knees low then kicks Lee’s legs out! Back to the chinlock and knee!

Lee endures all over again, but fans rally up. Lee gets up, and NXT returns to single picture as Dijakovic clubs him again. But Lee just powers up! Dijakovic keeps throwing forearms but Lee just swats them away! Lee blocks the kick and then has Dijakovic open with big body shots! Dijakovic is in a corner as Lee rocks him! Lee fires up and corner splashes, to then TOSS Dijakovic across the way! Lee throws a BIG left! Fans love it as Lee runs to POUNCE Dijakovic to a corner! Cover, TWO!!

Dijakovic slips out the back while choking Lee, CHOKE SLAM BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Lee still lives but Dijakovic gets to his feet. “This is Awesome!” as Dijakovic stalks Lee to a corner.

Dijakovic stands Lee up and hoists him to the top rope. That alone takes a lot, but Dijakovic clubs Lee more! Dijakovic climbs up to join Lee now, but Lee resists! Lee headbutts Dijakovic and hits a GRIZZLY MAGNUM! Dijakovic drops to the mat, and Lee adjusts, for a SUPER SPLASH on the arm! Dijakovic is clutching that arm in pain, but Lee has him, for a pop-up, SPIRIT BOMB!! But Dijakovic flops out of the ring!! Lee was so close to finishing this. The ref checks on Dijakovic but he’s okay to continue, somehow. Lee goes out to fetch Dijakovic, drags him up and puts him in the ring. Lee looms over Dijakovic as fans build to a new rally. Lee has Dijakovic up, and on his shoulders in a fireman’s carry. But Dijakovic fights out! Lee ROCKS Dijakovic again! Then runs, into the CYCLONE BOOT! Cover, TWO!! Dijakovic can’t believe it!

Fans are loving “Both These Guys!” for a fourth instant classic. Dijakovic forearms but Lee throws a body shot. Dijakovic forearms again, but Lee hits one of his own! Dijakovic throws an elbow but Lee throws more body shots. Dijakovic slips through to mule kick, front kick and back elbow! Dijakovic wants to make Lee fly again, but Lee lifts him! Dijakovic knees back, but Lee keeps him up! And even after a second knee! Lee powers Dijakovic up and over for the suplex! Cover, TWO!! Dijakovic keeps himself in this, but Lee keeps his focus. Fans build back to a rally as Lee drags Dijakovic to a drop zone. Lee starts to smile as he climbs up. But Dijakovic rises and hurries after Lee, and SUPERKICKS him! Dijakovic wants the torture rack, but his bad arm can’t pull Lee back off the corner. So instead, Dijakovic Electric Chairs Lee! For Lee to POISON-RANA!?! Cover, TWO?!? How is either man human?!

Lee has Dijakovic on the ropes quick and hops up top. Lee brings Dijakovic over, up, but Dijakovic fights back with elbows. Dijakovic adjusts, climbs up higher, but Lee blocks the Steiner! Lee brings Dijakovic back up but Dijakovic fights back again. But here comes Roderick Strong to attack them both with the title belt!!

No Contest

Strong feels that HE is the winner now, because neither man gets the win! But Regal comes back out to address this! “Very, very, clever, Roderick Strong. But not clever enough, sunshine!” Because now, Strong will defend his NXT North American Championship against both!! Strong has only gotten himself into a Triple Threat!!

 

Matt Riddle VS Bronson Reed!

Bro…! Look who is back in action! With so much going on with NXT right now, will the Original Bro find himself fighting for some gold again? Or will #Aussiezilla have his Breakout moment here tonight?

Winner: Matt Riddle, by pinfall

Reed was ready to go, but the Bro is back on track! And to show there is still respect, they fist bump again! Will Riddle make this big rebound victory the first of many?

 

NXT looks at the EST.

Bianca Belair has come very close to beating Shayna Baszler, but she doesn’t appreciate new girls thinking they can jump the line. “The strongest, the fastest, the toughest, the roughest, the quickest, the greatest, the best,” THAT is the EST. Rhea has to step up and test herself. If she thinks she’s getting ahead of Bianca, you’ll have to be better than all that. It’ll be fun for Bianca, but it’ll be a nightmare for Rhea. The match-up of the baddest happens next week!

 

BREAKING NEWS: Kushida is out with injury!

A wrist injury was re-aggravated, and the hairline fracture will be keeping him out for about a month. But will the Time Splitter be able to make good on that downtime to plan his comeback?

 

Tegan Nox VS Taynara Conti!

She’s already made herself known on NXT UK, but now NXT USA will see what the girl with the Shiniest Wizard is all about! Will she shine bright against the legit Brazilian black-belt?

The bell rings and Tegan circles with Taynara. They tie up, Tegan throws Taynara and Taynara gets mad. But Taynara walks right into a roll-up, TWO!

And a monkey flip, to a mounted cover, TWO!

Taynara starts losing her cool as she drags Tegan up. Taynara taunts more but Tegan headbutts! Fans rally as Tegan starts a rally of her own! Leaping uppercut, then a choke slam!

And the Cardiff kid gets a win for Team Kick! Will she be able to turn things around both here and in NXT UK to add some gold to that shine?

Ringside interview with Tegan Nox.

Cathy and the fans congratulate Tegan, and Dakota Kai joins in the celebration. This moment for Tegan is interrupted but Shayna Baszler and her Horsewomen. Shayna has always been bullying Dakota, now she seems to aim for the same with Tegan. “Let me guess,” Shayna says. Tegan wants to throw her name into the hat of challengers? Is that really a good idea? Just ask Dakota what happens getting int he ring with Shayna. But to be honest, Tegan is running out of limbs. Tegan wants Shayna to put up or shut up! Well Tegan hasn’t earned a shot, so this’ll have to wait until she does something worth talking about. Is Shayna only inviting more trouble by getting in the faces of Team Kick?

 

Finn Balor has a message.

“When your life comes to a crossroads, the only way to find the path to take is to revisit the ones you’ve walked before.” You need to look back on how you got to where you are. “Did your footsteps leave the world in a better place? Or did your missteps leave the world covered in darkness?” Egos, mistakes, and errors. Finn Balor’s future will be his past. What does this mean for the landscape of NXT?

 

Boa VS Killian Dain!

The Beijing Baller gets what he wants in facing the Beast of Belfast! But will he come to regret it?

The bell rings and Boa runs to boot Dain! Dain stays up so Boa fires forearms and kicks! He keeps on Dain against the ropes with kicks but the ref backs him off. Boa jukes the ref to dropkick Dain! Fans are fired up behind Boa as he kicks Dain out of the ring. Boa hurries after Dain, but gets the DIVIDE! Dain body checks Boa off his feet, and now he puts Boa into the ring. Dain drops big elbows on Boa’s bad ribs, then puts Boa in a corner. Dain stomps a mudhole into Boa but the ref pulls him off. Dain drags Boa up to whip corner to corner hard! Boa hits buckles then the mat, Dain covers, TWO! Boa somehow powers out but Dain drags him up. Fans rally behind Boa and Boa throws body shots, only to get a big knee into the ribs. Dain suplexes Boa fat and hard, then covers, TWO! Dain might have gone easy on Boa there.

Dain keeps on Boa with a chinbar, and grinds a knee into Boa’s ribs. Boa endures but fans rally up for him, and Boa fights up to throw body shots! Boa backs Dain down with forearms! Boa runs, but into a LARIAT! Dain grimaces as he drags Boa up to the fireman’s carry, and the Wasteland slam! To a senton! And a VADER BOMB! Then another! Dain steps on Boa to then hit a THIRD! Boa flounders and crawls, but Dain drags him back in a camel clutch variant! He thrashes Boa around, Boa is just barely able to tap! Dain wins!

Winner: Killian Dain, by submission

The ref has to pull Dain off Boa, but the damage is done. Will Dain do the same to ever man that gets in his way?

 

Pete Dunne VS Damien Priest!

The Bruiserweight became the Archer of Infamy’s new target simply because he is a big target. Dain barely left before Dunne came out and takes offense to the interruption. But Dunne takes that accusing finger and SNAPS it! Dain is furious, but Dunne just shrugs. Will Dunne make it through one towering opponent only to find another waiting? Or will Priest #LiveForever off of Dunne’s legacy?

NXT returns once more as Priest makes his entrance. The bell rings and fans are dueling already as the two stare down. Priest smirks but Dunne scowls as the two circle. They tie up, Priest wristlocks fast to a wrench, but Dunne rolls and handsprings to then headlock back. Priest powers out and hits Dunne with a leaping back elbow! Priest smirks again but Dunne gets up to kick away on his leg. Priest kicks Dunne down, then wrenches to go after the shoulder. Dunne powers out and things speed up. Dunne hurdles then ducks under to lariat! But Priest stays up! So Dunne goes after the fingers! He brings Priest to his knees, and puts the arm on the mat, to STOMP! Priest gets to the apron but Dunne has that arm again to hammerlock it again, for a Penalty Kick! Priest runs around the corner but Dunne is after him again! Dunne bends those fingers but Priest pulls hair. Priest can’t prevent Dunne putting the arm on the steps, for a STOMP!

They stand, Priest knees low and then suplexes. Dunne knees out once, then again, but Priest clubs him over and over. Priest tries again, but Dunne gives him an X-Plex!

Both men are down but Priest flounders up. Dunne slowly rises while Priest bails out to the apron. Dunne hurries over but gets a roundhouse! Priest hops up, Dunne throws forearms! Dunne climbs up to join Priest as fans chant for “Both These Guys!” HALF HATCH SUPERPLEX! Both men are down again as fans chant for “NXT! NXT!” Dunne and Priest slowly rise, and Dunne throws kicks.

My Thoughts:

A great episode for NXT right here! In a sense, the only filler match was Riddle VS Reed, which was great for being so quick. Riddle gets a big win but Reed looks strong in the loss, so Riddle is staying strong while things are still pretty fluid as far as title contention goes. Ciampa VS Garza was a pretty fun and also pretty fast, and of course Ciampa wins because it’s Ciampa. NXT does a good job of adjusting to Dream’s real injury, as the Undisputed Era “attack” him, and then use it to threaten the clear NXT Championship contenders, Ciampa and Balor. Finn has a good promo for himself, and I wonder if some of this implies restoring The Demon to its former glory. It was also a great adjustment to make Lee VS Dijakovic IV a contender’s match, and an even crazier move for Strong to interfere and get himself into a Triple Threat. However, this could make it easier for Strong now, since there are No Disqualifications, and Strong can use the two titans against each other.

The Women’s Championship scene is really heating up, perhaps the hottest it’s been. With Shayna having held the belt for so long, it actually makes a little sense if she ends up having another multi-woman match. Rhea VS Bianca next week could determine some details for who faces Shayna, but it would be pretty awesome if Shayna had to face the winner of that, as well as Shirai and Team Kick in any number of stipulations. A ladder match would be pretty great, I don’t recall ever having an NXT Women’s Championship ladder match, especially with a high flyer like Shirai in the mix. That or an elimination match, so that Shayna has no choice but to go all through her opponents to prove she’s the best champion today. It needs to be something big for WarGames since Survivor Series weekend will be a four day stretch of SmackDown, WarGames, the PPV and Raw.

Lorcan & Burch VS Imperium was a great tag team match, but it is a shame now that Kushida is out with injury that we might not get Imperium VS Team Kushida at WarGames III. Maybe someone steps up to be in Kushida’s role, unless he can make a quick recovery. Dain VS Boa was somewhat filler, but it helped bridge us to Dain having issues with Dunne. Dunne VS Priest was incredible! A match worthy of at least title contention somewhere. But Priest going low to lead to this win will surely bring about a rematch. There could be something building so that Priest and Dain work together, but who knows.

My Score: 8.9/10

Coverage

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.8.2025

We get to see Alicia Fox in action and a dog collar match! Definitely an odd combination, so let’s see what happens!

Published

on

As I feel like I say every week, the best parts of TNA are on NXT. I really can’t tolerate Dreamer and Delirious’ idea of creative. This shows have been slapdash early 00s MTV humor and nonsense angles. We open the show with Trick Williams, so of course you know he’s gonna be a dick and Hendry’s gonna try and get even.

At least this spawned an interesting concept with the TNA Heavyweight Championship being defended on NXT Battleground. So it’s nice that Hendry and TNA are getting exposure, but honestly it’s only Hendry, and the constant milking on the TNA side of “hearing from Hendry” is making me ill.

I feel like I’ve seen Johnny Gobs all over since Nekrogoblikon came out with new music. Not mad at it, just didn’t have that on my Bingo card.

 

Ratings:

  • Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck – *
  • Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors: Aztec Warriors win via Laredo Driver + Arabian Moonsault – * 1/2
  • Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands: Ali wins via Crucifix Blade Runner – ** 3/4
  • Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks: Victoria wins via Flying Axe Kick – Squash
  • Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury: Maclin retains via KIA – ***

Results:

Hey look, Trick comes out and does exactly what I said. He’s arrogant, he’s basically doing his own version of a Ric Flair promo. I do like the line about having two girls, one named Lexis who drives a Mercedes and Mercedes who drives a Lexus. It’s that right balance of dumb and clever to make me chuckle. Hendry of course comes out with his game face on, security tries, fails, and Hendry gets a measure of revenge.

Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck

Okay even though I don’t mind Xia as a wrestler anymore, Brookside is on commentary and she’s…awful. She’s like an Arianna Grace with no charisma. Her little integrity shtick got lame halfway through the word the first time she said it.

This match goes about how you expect which is why it’s not much to discuss. Rosemary does her usually brawling, biting and using the 5 counts with the Upside Down. But as expected, she tries to use the Brass Knucks, Xia comes off of commentary to stop her from using the weapon, and Lei catches her with Thunderstruck. I guess this was supposed to keep the Xia angle with some heat, but it’s really dumb. I don’t want to see any more of this Angel vs Demon, which one will turn crap. It’s boring, it’s cliche and for babies.

At least Lei Ying Lee is gorgeous and one hell of a wrestler. Hopefully she gets away from Rosemary and Xia soon.

Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors

Laredo and Octagon take early turns on Jason Hotch, Octagon even pulls off some rope acrobatics like he thinks he’s Rey Fenix. Hands try to take a few shortcuts, but the actions stays quick, the Cali crowd is behind the Luchadors. Stereo Tijeras, Five Hole Dive from Laredo into an Asai Moonsault from Octagon. Laredo Driver into Handstand Arabian Moonsault, and Aztec Warriors win handily.

After the fact Ali attacks the Aztec Warriors, Tasha and the Hands are trying to calm down Ali but then the Rascalz run out. Maybe we’re getting an early start to the Trey vs Ali match. 

Image

Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands

Hopefully this is something worth actually typing about instead of WCW Thunder level of rushed throwaway trash.

They trade early chops, but Ali is pissed, no sells Trey and rocks him with a Forearm. Trey tries to Baseball Slide through the legs and roll into a Sunset Flip, but Ali rolls through, comes up with Trey and Powerbombs him moving immediately into Ground and Pound. Ali goes for a Reverse Powerslam, but Trey escapes it, tries to use his quickness, trips up Ali for a second as he goes to the apron and then he catches Trey in the ropes and hits the Draping DDT off the apron. Outside In Neckbreaker from Ali into a Standing Tornillo.

Ali throws Trey into the ropes, Trey tries something but Ali catches him, flips him vertical and then Dragon Suplex looks nasty. Ali heads back to the apron, wants the Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker, but Trey catches him with a Cutter! Trey puts a little Shake Rattle and Roll together, Ali tries to block the last one so Trey hits the ropes and lands a Lionsault. Ali powders and eats a Dive, Trey throws him back in, Meteora! 1-2-kick out! Trey gets a little frustrated but tries a front facelock, they trade cradles, Ali throws him to the ropes, Trey tries that Rewind Tiger Feint, but Ali hits a Missile Dropkick. Ali tells the Hands to finish things but Wentz comes out flying. Ali drives Wentz into the post, throws Trey back in and mouths off to Wentz. When he turns he eats Trey’s Knee Slide Tornado DDT.

Tasha distracts the ref, Hands attack Trey with a Double Choke Bomb on the Apron and Ali kills Trey with Crucifix Blade Runner.

Hardys come out to talk, they get a solid pop from the crowd, but nothing interesting gets said. The old “we let you down” promo and they’re trying to get across a fandom nickname of “Diehardyz” and that’s corny. They punctuate their part before the Nemeths of course come out with some Obsolete and Delete references. Ryan starts talking and gets booed loudly, so that’s nice, they both play in it well. Ryan makes some goofy faces, Nic and him poke fun at the Hardys and the fact that Jeff can’t come to Canada because he’s prohibidabido. 

So Santino comes out, says next week Jeff and Nic will have a singles match, so Matt will get a tag match against the Nemeths with a partner of his choosing. Kind of a stock standard promo, but the Nemeths and Santino made it fun. 

Huh, coming back from commercial there’s a video package from WWE showing the last time Jeff Hardy and Nic Nemeth had a match. 16 years ago. 

Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks

Brittnie is Chris Bey’s girlfriend and Alicia was always one of my favorites.

Victoria clocks Brittnie early, but Brittnie fires back, Victoria gets annoyed, hits her beautiful Northern Lights Suplex Hold for only a two. Victoria drives Brittnie into the corner, Brittinie tries to fight out, but Victoria catches her with a Tumbling Headscissors Take Over and then a Flying Axe Kick. Victoria’s gorgeous self wins, and Victoria looked pretty decent in the squash.

Masha comes out, attacks Victoria, so Tessa makes a save. Santino makes a tag match next week Blanshard and Crawfish vs Slamabitch and a partner of her choosing. Robert Stone overrides Santino and picks her partner for her and chooses Nikkita Lyons. 

Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury

EY sandbags in the corner at the bell and then catches Maclin with an opportune yank of the chain and then starts a little dirty boxing and chain choking. Cardona is out on commentary because there’s a number 1 contender match next week for the International title. EY grinds the chain across Maclin’s face and the bridge of his nose, and he’s bleeding 40 seconds into the match.

Maclin powders but since it’s a dog collar match the jabronis get involved immediately. Maclin is bleeding like his last name is Rhodes, the jabronis get in some pot shots and EY just whips him with the chain, uses the post, just goes for classic deliberately paced hardcore brawl tactics. Maclin does manage to get a small flurry, EY does the Flair Corner Flop, then EY and the jabronis eat a SCUD before we go to commercial.

We come back, Maclin is back to getting murdered, and now all the potential number 1 contenders and either on commentary, the ramp or in the back watching a monitor. Even Mance Warner looks a little concerned and horny at the same time with the blood. Maclin is so bloody he looks like a post explosion scene from The Boys. Maclin fires, whips EY in the ropes, grabs him mid run, Headbutts him a few times, Jumping Thesz Press into the Ground and Pound with some chain whips. Jabronis come in and eat a Busakiu and Backbreaker, EY tries to take advantage but EY eats an Olympic Slam. Another Busaiku for EY, Jar Headbutt connects! EY kicks out at two, then powders but Maclin follows and wraps the chain around his neck and starts throwing EY around by the throat. Dorks fly at Maclin, he deflects them, but EY yanks the chain and Maclin falls off the apron. EY throws him back in, another two count. EY heads to the top, Maclin crotches him, bald Jabroni eats a Powerbomb, hair Jabroni heads a Buckle Bomb. EY slips the Tree, so Maclin puts the jabronis in the corner, Stacked Tag Em and Bag Em, Nerds get Caught in the Crosshairs!

EY sees the chance, kick to the gut, Piledriver! 1-2…KICK OUT! EY calls for the Macho Elbow but Maclin gets up, pulls him off the top with the chain and KIA! Maclin retains!

 

Overall Score: 4/10

A generally disappointing episode. The first hour felt like WCW Thunder written by Meth addicted Racoons. But the second hour starting with Mustafa, turned out to be okay. I’ve always enjoyed Alicia Fox aesthetically and she wasn’t bad in the ring, Mustafa being edgy is cool, Ryan Nemeth is a treasure, Tessa is still great and the dog collar match was decent.

So a mixed bag definitely. Rosemary is honestly useless anymore. She only gets a pop because of the gimmick, but her storylines have sucked, her matches aren’t great and this whole Infantile Sting knockoff of trying to stick to her morals and integrity and not do the mean things. Aztec Warriors are basic lucha stuff with no gimmick beyond the fact they’re luchadors. Lastly, the Trick Flair opening segment was okay at best but really just just paint by numbers.

It’s a sad turn of events when my favorite wrestling program anymore is WWE main roster stuff. Yikes…2025 is weird.

Toni Storm is here!

Or rather, she’s still here given just last night, the TIMELESS AEW Women’s World Champion won a Fatal 4 Way Eliminator. And now she’s in the special box seat “balcony” with mic in hand. Detroit cheers and she blows kisses before saying, “So many men have taken a shot at me in here, I’m feeling like Abraham Lincoln. I will never forget my first. It was messy, it was sweaty, and painful. But I only wanted more. Once a month, once a week, twice a week, I was hooked. But then, it only became more risky. One at a time, then two at a time. And three at a time! Incorporating random objects, all the while being watched by perverts.”

The fans cheer being perverts but then Toni says, “One day, it will not end well for me. It will break my body and soil my soul. But in the end, I know it’s what I was born to do. And if you think I was referring to sexual intercourse, then get your minds out of the gutter!” Toni takes a moment before she continues, “Because the best bang could not compare to fighting for this!” She holds up the title and the fans cheer more! “I am not waiting for a Hayter or a CEO. So next week, line up the next batch of slop tarts, because baby wants to binge!” The fans also like the sound of that! Toni says spit on it and sit on it, and let’s get TIMELESS~!

The fans applaud and Toni takes a bow. Beach Break just got that much bigger, but who will take their shot at The Tramp that is The Champ?

 

Backstage interview with Paragon.

Lexy Nair is with Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly to ask them about the 2 Out of 3 Falls last Saturday. Roddy says that to say they’re disappointed is an understatement. He and Kyle are one of the best teams on this planet, and they thought it’d be like riding a bike. But it has been a bit more difficult than they thought. Kyle agrees that they’re frustrated and disappointed, but what they aren’t doing is taking anything away from themselves. They’re the Paragon and they’re still one of the best tag teams out there. And any other day, any other time, 99 out of 100, Kyle & Roddy win that match.

Cole agrees, and he knows that was tough last week. But they are one of the best teams in the world. There will be plenty of chances to prove that this year. But in step the Grizzled Young Veterans and Zack Gibson says say that again. He can’t believe Paragon has the nerve to stand here sulking and complaining. Honestly, this three are three of the best ever. The problem is, they’ve gone soft! They’ve forgotten what it is to fight for their sport. So any time they’re ready, GYV will remind them what that’s like. Kyle & Roddy say why not. GYV will be the first time that gets stomped on Paragon’s way back to the top!

GYV laugh that off then take their leave. But when and where will Liverpool’s Number One & Mr. Mayhem take on the Savior of the Backbreaker & the Violent Artist?

 

Ricochet VS Angelico w/ Serpentico!

The One & Only just got a big win last night alongside the Young Bucks, but now he looks to get a win on his own. Will Ricochet make Detroit #OuttaThisWorld two nights in a row? Or will tonight belong to Spanish Announce Project’s South African Stud?

The bell rings and the fans rally as Angelico and Ricochet circle. They feel things out, circle more, then Angelico leaves Ricochet hanging by smoothing his hair. Ricochet says ha ha, more bald jokes. Ricochet waistlocks, the fans chant, “He Has Hair!” but Ricochet hammerlocks and snapmares to then ghost pin, TWO! Ricochet taunts Angelico that this is professional wrestling, not modeling. Angelico trips Ricochet to cover, ONE! Angelico has a cording hold and he keeps Ricochet from the ropes. Ricochet wrenches, but Angelico gets the cording hold back! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico arm-drags him to the mat!

The fans cheer more, but Ricochet kips up. Angelico wrangles him back down! Ricochet claws at Angelico but Angelico polishes the bald head! The fans cheer and Angelico keeps on the arm. Ricochet fights up again, but Angelico wrangles him back down! Angelico gives Ricochet more polish, then stands him up to wrench and cording hold. Ricochet throws a body shot, flips up and over, but Angelico switches arms for a modified Cobra Twist! Angelico holds up his hand and the fans cheer, but Ricochet fights free and bails out. The fans boo but then Angelico sneaks up to clamp on shoulder claws!

Ricochet fights back, and he THROWS Angelico to the floor! Ricochet skins the cat, then TORNILLO PLANCHAS! Ricochet takes down Angelico, taunts Serpentico, then goes storming off to grab a chair! Ricochet chases off #SNAKEMAN, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Ricochet gets up on the barrier to soak up more heat, and he even flicks sweat off his bald head! Ricochet puts Angelico in the ring, stalks him to ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Ricochet backs off, and Serpentico coaches Angelico. Angelico sputters but Ricochet brings him up for a snapmare. Ricochet digs his knee into Angelico’s back as part of the chinlock. Angelico endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Angelico is free, runs the ropes, but Ricochet DROPKICKS him down! Ricochet taunts the fans, covers Angelico, TWO! Angelico is tougher than that but Ricochet covers again, ONE! And again, ONE! And again, ONE!!

Ricochet throws a fit and SLAPS Angelico down before arguing with the ref. The ref defends the count, so Ricochet just stomps away on Angelico’s back! Ricochet taunts the fans, goes back to stomp Angelico and kick him around, then he kicks Angelico to the ropes. Angelico rises to BODY BLOW! And JAB! Ricochet staggers back, Angelico fires more shots! Angelico runs, KICKS the backdrop away, then runs again, only for Ricochet to FLAPJACK him off ropes and JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Angelico survives and Collision returns to single picture. Ricochet storms his way to a corner while the fans boo.

Ricochet aims and 450- NO, he has to bail out as Angelico moves! Ricochet comes back but Angelico dodges again, Ricochet hits only buckles! Angelico swings, Ricochet dodges and shoves to TIGER WALL KICK! And SOBAT! KNEE! But Angelico KNEES in return! Ricochet rebounds to V-TRIGGER! ROLLING- NO, Angelico clinches for a LIFTING FLATLINER! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts, Ricochet and Angelico stir, and they rise at 5 of 10. Angelico counters a punch and then fires haymakers! Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but then Ricochet catches the leap!

Angelico fights Ricochet’s clinch with elbows, then whips, but Ricochet reverses, Angelico LEAPING LARIATS! And LEAPING LARIATS again! The fans fire up and Angelico storms up to Ricochet. Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but Angelico reverses back! COBRA TWIST, and the HEAD SLAPS! The fans fire up as Angelico just takes Ricochet to task! Ricochet sputters and staggers around, Angelico kicks and Canadian Racks! YOYO SLAM, into a hammerlock and HALF CRAB! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico gets the other arm! Ricochet kicks with his free leg and has the ROPEBREAK! The fans boo but Angelico lets go.

Ricochet goes to the apron, Angelico storms up, but Ricochet HOTSHOTS him! And then FLICKS the ropes at Angelico to hit down low! Ricochet then springboards and FLYING LARIATS! The fans boo but Ricochet runs for a STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Ricochet just keeps going, dragon sleeper for the VERTIGO!! Ricochet rolls back, locks ‘n’ loads, and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

Ricochet made sure Angelico was done before he got the 1-2-3, and now he gets the mic. “Go ahead. C’mon, I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!” The fans boo and taunt him more and Ricochet says he welcomes it all! Their boos mean NOTHING to him, because he sees what they cheer for. And c’mon, if you cheer for the Detroit Lions, that means you’re dumb as hell. If you were smart, if you had any amount of common sense, you’d be cheering for him! The fans keep taunting him with “They’re Not Bald!” But Ricochet says the Eagles won the Super Bowl, what’re they talking about? They should be cheering him, because he’s been here less than a year and he’s beaten most of the favorites!

Brody King, Will Ospreay, Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, Mark Briscoe, Swerve Strickland, and even Kenny Omega! All of them are AEW legends, and Ricochet beat them all! But wait, speaking of legends… Ricochet points out the living legend, Zach Gowen! Ricochet remembers growing up, watching wrestling, he was a huge fan of Zach Gowen. Huge fan. He remembers when big Brock would beat him up and down the arena, that was awesome. But the thing is, Daddy Gowen used to be on this side of the barriers, but now he’s on the other side of them. What happened, Zach? Doesn’t have a leg in the fight anymore?

Ricochet laughs at his own offensive joke, and then asks where that fire is now. He pushes Zach around, security rushes in and Ricochet says he wasn’t doing anything! They’re just talking! Then he BOPS each and every guard! They like that? Ricochet THROWS one guy into railing! Ricochet does his own commentary as he sends another one into the steel steps! Then he puts the third one in the ring, and says Zach might like this. The fans boo but now Ricochet brings out THE SCISSORS! Ricochet cuts this guy’s hair up! But Zach jumps into the ring!! The fans cheer as Zach snatches the scissors from Ricochet!

The fans cheer as Zach asks what is wrong with Ricochet! Ricochet says sorry, sorry! But then he KICKS Zach’s leg out! And then SPIRIT GUN!! The fans boo even more but Ricochet isn’t done with Zach. He takes Zach’s prosthetic leg away! The fans boo as loud as they can as Ricochet leaves with the leg! Ricochet isn’t just humiliating Zach Gowen, he’s committing a crime! Ricochet holds the leg up as a trophy, then mockingly limps with it. Will anyone ever humble the ego that is #OuttaThisWorld?

 

8 Man Tag: The Don Callis Family VS The Outrunners, Bandido & AR Fox!

Don Callis himself dared Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd to find a friend so they could settle things with Roppongi Vice and the Family, but the Outrunners did better than that! They found TWO friends! Will the Most Wanted ROH World Champion and the Whole Fox’n Show help the Youngest Men Alive humble Callis’ cronies? Or will Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher use them to take out all of their frustrations?

Callis of course joins commentary while the teams sort out. Callis calls tonight “Don Callis Championship Wrestling,” and says Detroit boos him and his Family because it is a city of losers. Kyle Fletcher starts against Bandido and the fans fire up. Kyle and Bandido circle, the fans rally up more, and they tie up. They go around, Kyle puts Bandido on the ropes. The fans rally for Bandido and he dodges the chop to CHOP! Kyle swings, Bandido dodges and headlocks. Kyle powers up and out, Bandido RAMS him, but Kyle rebounds to RUN Bandido over! Kyle flexes, the fans boo, but then Turbo flexes and the fans cheer.

So Kyle BOOTS Turbo off the apron! Kyle runs, Bandido dodges, hurdles, but Kyle leaps over. The fans tell Callis off while things keep moving. Bandido slips around to tilt-o-whirl RANA! And then DROPKICK! Kyle falls against ropes, Trent tags in, and Trent CLOBBERS Bandido! The fans boo, Trent rains down fists, and the ref reprimands. Trent stops to tag in Rocky. Roppongi Vice mugs Bandido, then they DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX! But Bandido lands out, tags AR Fox, and Fox BOOTS Rocky! And BOOTS Trent! Fox goes up, up, and CANNONBALLS! The fans fire up but here comes the Murderhawk Monster!

Archer scoops Fox into the crucifix lift! But Fox slips free, goes Matrix to dodge, and he ENZIGIRIS! Archer tumbles out, Fox whips Rocky to the corner, Rocky runs into Turbo’s BOOT! Truth adds a HAYMAKER, then Fox tags Turbo. Turbo brings Rocky around to wrench and wristlock. Truth tags in as they whip and atomic drop, UPPERCUT HART ATTACK! Trent is back, but he runs into a DOUBLE HIP TOSS! The fans fire up with The Outrunner as they run at the corners! BACK ELBOWS in stereo for RPG Vice! Then Outrunners trade, more ELBOWS in stereo! Then a feed to the BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO! The fans fire up while The Outrunners wind it up!

“Turbo Floyd! You-” Well, Trent gets Rocky out of there, they do NOT give the people what they want. Archer is back and he double choke grips! DOUBLE CHOKE SLAM!! Archer BLASTS Fox & Bandido off the corner, Kyle is there to beat them up, and the fans boo as Archer stomps away on Truth! Archer stands on Truth in the corner and laughs while Collision goes picture in picture.

Archer stalks Truth tot he Callis corner. Rocky tags Archer in and they mug Truth. Archer bumps Truth off buckles, then whips him corner to corner hard! Truth falls to the mat, Archer puts him back in the corner, and Archer looms over him. Truth rises up to fire CHOPS, but archer eggs him on! Truth fires haymakers, then runs, only for Archer to DECK him! Tag to Trent and Trent stalks Truth while Archer TOSESS Turbo! Trent CHOKES Truth, CHOPS him, then talks trash. Trent winds up to CHOP again! Trent brings Truth over to bump off buckles, then he tags in Rocky. RPG Vice mugs Truth, whips him to a corner, and Kyle joins in.

Rocky runs up to ELBOW Truth, then Trent adds an ELBOW of his own! Kyle runs to forearm SMASH! Archer runs in and ELBOWS Truth down! Rocky covers, TWO! Truth survives the onslaught, but Rocky wrenches an arm. Tag to Kyle and Kyle KICKS then arm! Kyle mocks Truth reaching out for his corner, then stomps Truth down. Kyle stalks Truth to the ropes, mockingly holds Truth’s hand out, then scoops and SLAMS him in a snap! Kyle taunts Bandido, then he brings Truth up. Truth fires hands, but Kyle scoops and SLAMS again! Collision returns to single picture and he BLASTS Truth’s corner! Bandido avoids the shot and shouts at Kyle!

Kyle taunts Bandido, but Truth fires hands! The fans fire up but Kyle BOOTS Truth! Kyle suplexes, but Truth counters with a cradle! TWO, and Kyle is up, only for Truth to juke! Hot tag to Bandido! Kyle kicks but Bandido deflects and waistlocks. Kyle switches, shoves and runs up, but Bandido SUPERKICKS! Bandido goes up, up, and TORNILLOS! Down goes Kyle and he bails out! RPG Vice attack Bandido from behind! RPG Vice double whip, Bandido grabs ropes and he BOOTS them back! The Outrunners are in and they stereo ATOMIC DROP! RPG Vice tumble up and out of the ring! Archer runs in, Bandido holds the ropes down, but Archer doesn’t fall for it!

Archer ROCKS Bandido, but the Outrunners DUMP him out! The fans fire up as the Callis Family regroups by the ramp. Fox returns, and he coordinates with Bandido! Whip and pop-up, SUPER CANNONBALL!! The fans fire up as Fox hits a strike! And then The Outrunners form a staircase! Bandido runs to step, step, and ESCALARA CONJILO!! The fans are thunderous as Bandido puts Kyle in! The Outrunners set Kyle up and then wind it up! “Turbo Floyd! You sonova b*tch!” HANDSHAKE DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Fox adds a SWANTON BOMB! Bandido adds a FROG SPLASH!! Cover, The Family breaks it!

The fans boo but The Outrunners brawl with the Family! Things tumble out of the ring, but Bandido aims at Kyle on the ropes! Bandido deals the hand, BLACKJACK- NO, Kyle switches through! DRAGON SUPLEX, but Bandido lands out! Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges and tilt-o-whirls, but Kyle stops the DDT to MICHINOKU DRIVER!! The fans are thunderous while both men are down! Kyle and Bandido crawl, hot tags to Fox and Trent! Fox RAMS Trent, goes up, up, and leaps over Trent to somersault and CANNONBALL Kyle! Then Fox wrenches Trent, catches the leg, and FISHERMAN BUSTERS! Archer grabs Fox, shoves him back, but Fox returns to DRAPING DDT!

Fox sees Rocky, Rocky kicks first, then Rocky whips. Fox reverses, Rocky is in the corner, Fox hits an A-LIST LARIAT! Kyle runs up but Fox ELBOWS him away! Fox skins the cat to DROPKICK Rocky and then backwards roll, CUTTER for Kyle! Then Fox avoids Rocky to hit a CUTTER!! The fans are electric and Fox has Kyle on the ropes! Fox builds speed, but Trent anchors his foot! Kyle hits a CALF KICK! The Outrunners BLAST Trent, but Archer CROSSBODIES The Outrunners! Bandido springboards in but Kyle catches him!

RPG Vice then sits Fox up, wrenches and double pump handle! JACKAL DRIVER!! Cover, Don Callis Family wins!

Winners: The Don Callis Family, by pinfall

Trent shouts that no one will ever disrespect them again! Will Callis’ pack of jackals devour anyone and everyone that stands in their way?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!

After the assault and humiliation that we saw earlier tonight, Zach Gowen is going to make his return to wrestling! Will Zach get revenge on Ricochet for taking things too far?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

“So, we’re through the obligatory preamble, casualties on both sides. Last night, you took out my number one lieutenant. Now I could vow revenge and talk about all the things I’m gonna do to Samoa Joe once I get him inside that steel cage. But that would be rather rote, and probably mostly untrue. What do we know? The consensus is Samoa Joe is gonna kick my ass. And yeah, there’s nobody on the planet better at getting their ass kicked than me. The question isn’t whether Joe will beat me up. The question is, how long can he do it? Five, eight minutes? Ten? 20? 25? I’ve got all night.

“I know you don’t think very much of me, Joe, but you are one of the guys that I have genuine respect for. You are the embodiment of a champion. But you’re not the AEW World Champion, I am. And I know that no matter what happens to me inside that steel cage in Chicago, no matter what Hell is put on me, no matter what I am put through in that steel cage, I know I have been through worse. I have been through the kind of Hell, I have weathered the kind of storms, I have faced down the kinds of demons that would keep these kids up at night. So I don’t need to be feared or respected by you or anybody else. I just need you to show up.

“I don’t get along with the rest of the world because I am not like the rest of the world. And believe it or not, next week, there is nowhere else in the world I would rather be than locked inside a steel cage in Chicago with the AEW World Championship hanging in the balance, with the baddest man in pro-wrestling, Samoa Joe. I didn’t build my foundation on sand. When the storm comes through, the only thing that matters is who is the last man standing.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will he ultimately be the baddest man in AEW?

 

Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn VS Lee Johnson w/ Blake Christian!

The Pride of Pro-Wrestling is ready to prove he’s worthy of all the opportunities before him, but that means having others step to the plate. #BigShotty thinks he can get a hit off the 5 Tool Player, but will he be able to go yard? Or will he just get Molly Whopped and sent back to the dugout?

The bell rings and the fans rally behind Bowens. Bowens and Lee tie up, Bowens wrenches and wristlocks, but Lee wrenches back.

But Blake gets on the apron! Bowens grabs Blake, Lee rolls Bowens up with tights, TWO!! MOLLY WHOP!! Cover, Bowens wins!

Billy stops that and TOSSES Blake out! Billy says “SUCK IT!” Bowens grabs a mic to tell Detroit, “What you just saw was the Pride of Professional Wrestling! The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. And I am in a really good mood, so y’know what? Billy, throw ’em up! Detroit, throw ’em up! And make some noise!” And they SCISSOR FINGER~! For old time’s sake, Bowens embraces the old gimmick. But will nothing stop Bowens from making himself a contender?

 

The Gates of Agony are here!

Detroit cheers as Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona walk out to the ring, but they grab mics so they can talk. Kaun calls out Bryan Keith & Big Bill. “You think you’re gonna walk through these Gates unscathed, unburned, and redeem yourselves in the eyes of Chris Jericho?” The fans boo and Kaun says, “Hell no, Paradise has to be earned. And these Gates right here? They’re gonna stop you in your tracks.” Liona says, “And this time, we’re not doing it in a parking lot! Y’know why? Because we’re in Detroit! Why not do this right here, right now!?” The fans cheer and Liona tells Big Bill & Bryan Keith, you heard the people! Get out here and fight!

The Gates and the Branches are down around ringside, is the Learning Tree impressed watching this at home?

My Thoughts:

A great Collision, but it apparently caught a bit of the Go Home Syndrome. There were quite a few recap packages I skipped but clearly they are working to hype Beach Break for next. Moxley’s newest promo was alright, didn’t really add much, because as I said just last night, Moxley surely finds a way to retain with help from The Death Riders. I will say, it made a lot of sense for the remaining Death Riders to cost Willow. Marina and Willow still have beef, and I’m still hoping on my idea from last night: Shayna Baszler shows up, teams with Marina, we get Shayna & Marina VS Willow & Kris. Let’s up the ante and get another classic Street Fight Tag out of Kris & Willow.

Great promo from Toni Storm to open the night, and good to hear Skye Blue is back. Another Fatal 4 Way Eliminator makes me wonder if one of the mystery entrants ends up taking the loss. There was also that spider during Kris VS Willow, which I believe is a teaser for Thekla. Thekla could easily jump into the Fatal 4 Way and get close to winning, but who knows. And as I said last night, not sure why they’re holding Athena back from doing much of anything right now. With Supercard of Honor now delayed to July to coincide with All In: Texas, Athena should really be getting involved more on AEW TV so people don’t forget she exists.

Very good stuff with Bowens VS Lee, and I appreciate the albeit lazy way they changed Bowen’s logo so that it doesn’t resemble the Shane Taylor Promotions’ STP. Bowens of course wins, but his promo after was pretty much the same as his other ones. At least he did one last scissoring with Billy. Bowens is unfortunately not going to get a title story right now with all the champions preoccupied in something else. Though honestly, I feel like there is a way for Okada VS Bowens to be a great match, and then someone violates the Continental Rules so that Okada loses without really losing. Best way I can think of is Swerve is hunting The Bucks, they go ringside, and since Bucks are associate with Okada, that’s a violation on his part, and it adds more heat to whatever big thing Double or Nothing has planned.

Great stuff from the Don Callis Family in all their matches. I wasn’t expecting a big 8 Man Tag, and I’m a little disappointed Brody King wasn’t one of the participants, but maybe that’s the next phase. Great showing from the Faces, especially AR Fox. Fox is in a similar boat to Bowens where he certainly deserves title opportunities but TK just isn’t seeing how to write it. But between that and the dominance Konosuke & Alexander over Dark Order, it feels like the Don Callis Family get their comeuppance with Hangman & Ospreay winning next week.

Ricochet VS Angelico was rather outta nowhere but it was still a great match. It was also clearly a vehicle so Ricochet could start beef with Zach (Zack?) Gowen and give us a Beach Break match between them for the real deepcut long time wrestling fans. Much like Bowens and Fox, I feel like Ricochet is waiting on a title to be freed up from story so he can go get those titles. Such as Paragon now feuding with Grizzled Young Veterans for a minute, which in a way keeps Adam Cole isolated. TK should’ve just given us Ricochet VS Cole for the fun of it because Ricochet VS Cole would be incredibly fun stuff. They could even revisit their NXT history if they wanted to.

Great stuff with Gates of Agony and Learning Tree, that was much better than last week’s. I really hope this gives us a Tornado Tag match. For that matter, why aren’t we getting that in the story of Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford? Good promo from those teams to hype up… just Anna VS Megan… It’d make Beach Break Collision feel all the bigger but whatever, maybe they feel Ford still isn’t up to speed after that Fatal 4 Way last night. But doing a chaotic tag match could help iron out some of that so that Ford can just focus on what she is good at with the gymnastics and throwing hands.

And awesome stuff with Garcia VS “Dax the Axe” in the main event. And yeah, I didn’t put it in myself, but they’re really committing to that as Dax’s ring name right now. Great to see Menard helping Garcia, and even Nigel standing up for himself against Dax. A “No Contest” result was a little odd but I suppose that’s like saying it is a draw where no one goes over. But with the Faces standing tall, maybe Nigel steps in and teams with Garcia right now for Double or Nothing so that Garcia teaming with Cope is the All In moment.

My Score: 8.8/10
