Download Festival 2019 – NXT Women’s Championship: Shayna Baszler VS Isla Dawn!

Isla flails, taps and Shayna wins!

Winner: Shayna Baszler, by submission (still NXT Women’s Champion)

The Magician conquers the White Witch and continues a dominant reign! We know in the present that #ShaynaTwoTime would end with the Riptide, but now she’s on Raw ripping her way towards the Money in the Bank contract. Will Shayna make someone #TapNapOrSnap in order to become this year’s Ms. MITB?

 

Andy Shepherd interviews Ilja Dragunov.

A challenging time we are all living in makes this via video chat, but Shepherd asks about Ilja’s shot at the NXT UK Championship. What is he doing to keep sharp during such unconventional times? “Unconventional” is a rather funny way to phrase it to him. A mentor once asked, “How do you not get tired of working?” Ilja wasn’t sure, but the answer was that you just never stop working. Ilja holds that teaching dear. He keeps his drive and momentum. It doesn’t matter what the situation is, that situation doesn’t control him. Ilja keeps his intensity. He doesn’t need to prepare, because he was born prepared.

Well yes, but many have tried and failed to become UK Champion, especially against Walter. What does Ilja have to pull off what no one else has? That is a very scary situation, yes. Pete Dunne had the longest reign, Tyler Bate was the first, and even men like Joe Coffey were not tough enough. Ilja has the will to take on Walter. You need to take on the pain. Ilja eats pain! Ilja is UNBESIEGBAR. He fights like he is invincible, because it is for his family. He wants Walter to underestimate him, because it will mean Walter makes a mistake. And in that mistake, Ilja will win. “This match will redefine violence.”

 

Next week’s episode: The Rise of Imperium!

We know part of the story, but take a closer look at how Marcel Barthel, Fabian Aichner & Alexander Wolfe united behind the banner of the Ring General, Walter!

 

NXT UK Coventry – Ilja Draguno VS A-Kid!

Speaking of that intensity, the Moscow Madman has that on display against the Spanish Ace! Does A-Kid get a sampler of what Ilja has in store for the Austrian Anomaly?

The bell rings and Ilja circles with AK. They quickly shake hands to show this is a respectful battle. They tie up as fans cheer, and Ilja puts AK in the corner. AK goes up the corner but Ilja backs off. AK hops down and circles with Ilja. They tie up, AK gets a waistlock and a slam. AK shifts to the facelock but Ilja works his way up. AK cravats to roll to a cover, ONE! Ilja is right back up and resets with AK. They tie up, AK rolls and trips Ilja to a headlock. AK traps an arm but Ilja uses the other arm to push back. Ilja headscissors and holds tight. AK scuffs Ilja with a foot then moves around to turn and roll Ilja. AK has the legs and wants the crossface. Ilja resists so AK goes with the Bow ‘n’ Arrow! Ilja pops out to cover, TWO as AK bridges out. AK springs up but Ilja cravats and wrangles AK down. Ilja leans on the hold but AK shifts out to get the arm! AK wants a Fujiwara but fans sing for Dragunov. Ilja powers up but AK slips around to get a wristlock and chinlock. Ilja pops free of one, but AK uses the other to throw Ilja down!

Ilja brings AK to the mat with the keylock, but AK bridges and handsprings to get the headscissor!

Fans cheer while Ilja flails. Ilja gets free but AK is on the wrist. Ilja spins but AK wrangles him down. AK wrenches but Ilja grits his teeth as he spins again. The two stare down and Ilja shoulders free! Ilja strikes his fight pose to dare AK to bring it. So AK grabs his hand and twists! Ilja slips through, breaks free and CHOPS AK off his feet! Then drops a BIG senton! Fans fire up with Ilja as he runs at AK. Ilja hits a leaping forearm, then a handspring crossbody! Cover, TWO! AK bails out but Ilja keeps locked on. Ilja builds speed, but AK moves, so Ilja tiger feints. AK runs around but still gets an enziguri for his troubles! Ilja goes up top and leaps for a SUPER AX HANDLE! Fans are fired up with the Moscow Madman and “NXT! NXT!” Ilja drags AK back up and in, then climbs up top. Ilja leaps again, but has to roll through as AK evades. AK boots, arm-drags and dropkicks! Ilja flounders into a GERMAN SUPLEX!

AK flounders over to Ilja and waistlocks again. Ilja fights the lift and breaks the grip. AK just changes it to trap the arm, but Ilja bucks him off. AK handsprings back to NORTHERN LIGHTS, to an ARMBAR! Ilja again clasps hands together to fight it off, but AK is using his own head and neck for leverage. Ilja rolls around but AK gets the triangle! But Ilja dead lifts, but AK headscissors to the ropes! They get tangled up but tumble back to the mat. AK clutches a leg but still climbs up top. He leaps, to crossbody! Cover, TWO!!

But Ilja throws haymaker after haymaker with that arm! And then the leaping BOOT! Ilja drags AK up, single leg GERMAN! Bridging cover, TWO!!

AK gets the arm for a keylock, but Ilja slaps and chops away. Ilja knees and knees, but AK grabs one for a takedown! Standing toehold! Ilja has to keep his shoulders up, and he BOOTS AK away! But AK comes back, to KNEE Ilja! AK gets a leg, Ilja steps through to KNEE! AK ROUNDHOUSE, but Ilja ENZIGURI! Both men are down and the fans are thunderous! They give a standing ovation for “NXT! NXT!”

Ilja heads up top as fans declare “This is awesome!” AK gets up to enziguri Ilja first! Fans hope they “Fight Forever!” but AK stands Ilja up. SUPER SPANISH FLY!! But that’s not all, AK SUPERKICKS!! Cover, TWO!?! Ilja survives and shocks AK back! AK is in the corner, runs out, but Ilja gives him a SPINE BUSTER! Ilja heads right up top, leaps, and hits the SUPER SENTON! But that’s not all, as Ilja is at a fever pitch! “UN! BE! SIEG! BAR!!” TORPEDO MOSCOW!! Cover, Ilja wins!!

Winner: Ilja Dragunov, by pinfall

NXT UK just saw an instant classic between the reckless Russian and the Spanish Ace! And in the end, the two men still respect each other with a handshake and shout! How much more intense will a match between Ilja and the Austrian Anomaly be when we finally get to see it?


My Thoughts:

A really great episode right here with some great matches. Though, the results for all the matches were fairly obvious. These matches being from last Summer, the title matches weren’t going to be surprises. Even so, Deonna Purrazzo gave Toni a really great match, as did Isla Dawn for Shayna. The timing of this is a bit unfortunate with Deonna released and rather upset with the WWE. Riddle VS Ligero was really good, and Dragunov VS A-Kid was incredible! That was like TakeOver level or something! Dragunov’s interview promo was good, too, and his match with Walter is still going to be amazing, no matter where and when we finally get to see it. Next week’s Rise of Imperium episode is going to be a pretty good one, because of the inclusion of British Strong Style and other NXT stars.

My Score: 8.5/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.29.25

Stuff happens, maybe it doesn’t, Dreamer and Delirious can’t book.

Published

on

Well Trick Willie is the new TNA champ and this is the first iMPACT since his win…so let’s just hear him talk about it.

Ratings:

  • The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System: Rascalz win via Meteora – ***
  • Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali: Ali wins via…No Shit – Squash Garbage
  • ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee: Lei wins via Spinning TKO – ** 3/4
  • Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber: Mance wins via Hit the Pay Winda – Squash
  • Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa: Team Robbie wins via shenanigans – **
  • International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona: Maclin retains via KIA – ***

 

Results:

The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System

Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb. 

Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.

KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.

AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.

Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali

Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.

Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.

Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.

This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”. 

ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee

ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.

Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!

Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber

Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa

Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.

Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.

International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona

A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.

Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!

Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!

 

Overall Score: 4.5/10

Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?

Go home TNA, you’re drunk.

The Bone Soldier fails, and now Desperado is NOT going to the finals! Desperado will now be on the outside looking in, waiting for his next challenger.

Speaking of which, Kosei Fujita now makes his way out here to be face to face with Yoh. Yoh holds the ropes open for Fujita to step into the ring. Fujita and Yoh get face to face, and Fujita points at the tag title on Yoh’s shoulder, because he also wants that belt. Yoh knows, since he and Wato took it from Fujita & Eagles. But Yoh dismisses Fujita, they’ll meet again on June 1st. Yoh then takes up the mic to tell Fujita, “Ya bastard… I’ll show you true chaos! Now, just one more win. In Ota, the best wind will blow.” Yoh drops the mic to leave it at that. Will that wind be the winds of change? Or will Yoh fail to bring down The Mighty Japanese Young Punk?

 

Here are the FINAL B Block standings!

YOH: 6-3, 12 points [FINALIST]
El Desperado: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
MAO: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
Taiji Ishimori: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie Eagles: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
SHO: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Nick Wayne: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Kevin Knight: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Titan: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ryusuke Taguchi: 3-6, 6 points [ELIMINATED]


My Thoughts:

A great night to wrap round nine and therefore the round robin portion. No repeat BOSJ finalists, which is actually great because now we’ve got a fresh match-up. Taguchi VS Knight was still a great match for not affecting outcomes, and Knight gets to return to AEW with a win. The flipside is Titan gets a win over Nick Wayne, I really do think it books itself, Nick VS Titan for the ROH World TV Championship on Grand Slam: Mexico. Christian Cage can even be condescending to Nick over how Nick didn’t make it to the finals, adding to that feud. Nick can beat Titan in the rematch, then get in Christian’s face to make a match for All In: Texas, or at least Supercard of Honor where ROH titles should be showing up anyway.

Great stuff with Mao and his team against Sho and the House of Torture. I was pleasantly surprised that Mao won, and I wonder if the House of Torture goes to a DDT Pro show to battle it out with Strange Love Connection. Mao winning also added great drama to the remaining matches, Despy VS Eagles was awesome stuff, probably the actual best match of the night. Yoh VS Taiji wasn’t quite as hot going by the crowd, but Yoh getting the win to shut the door on Despy was good. Yoh VS Fujita will be great, a bit hard to call, but that makes it fun.

My Score: 9/10
