PLAY BY PLAY
Keith Lee is seething.
The NXT Double Champion’s shining moment was made even brighter thanks to his “Number one frenemy,” Domink Dijakovic. Keith thanked his rival with the first shot at a double title match. But then Karrion Kross crushed the Croatian Colossus for a simple comment on how he measured up. Dijakovic refused to let Keith quit for him, and now, as the song says, “The end is here.” Will Keith avenge Dijakovic and cancel Kross’ apocalypse?

NXT shares footage from the Pat McAfee Show incident.
It was last Thursday that the longest reigning NXT Champion of all time, Adam Cole BAYBAY, went on the former NFL kicker’s podcast radio show. McAfee and Cole have always been at odds with each other, so when Adam Cole called himself the King of NXT, McAfee couldn’t help but laugh. McAfee pointed out that The Undisputed Era was a major part of Cole’s many reigns. But that’s smart, since Cole is “kinda small.” Cole blew up over that and cursed McAfee out and his “stupid (bleeping) show.” Cole stormed off, but that was not the end of this.
On Monday, McAfee had Triple H on to explain it was a “misunderstanding.” Cole himself issued a lengthy apology on Twitter for being unprofessional. McAfee is open to meeting with Cole again to talk this out and get to the bottom of things. When and where will Cole and McAfee sit down and discuss the apparent “miscommunication?”
Roderick Strong VS Johnny Gargano!
After they both lost to #ThiccBoi Bronson Reed, the Savior of the Backbreaker and #AllHeartNoSoul Gargano talked a lot of smack while playing the blame game on social media. William Regal made their spat into a 1v1 match, and now we’ll see who can back up their words!

Backstage interview with Dakota Kai.
Dakota walked out on Candice at the end of their tag match, but Dakota says she doesn’t care. Dakota is not a team player anymore. She is done jumping through hoops, having to do Triple Threats, tag teams and battle royals just to be a contender. She IS the #1 contender. She wants Io Shirai and the NXT Women’s Championship!
As Dakota goes to leave, a new platinum blonde heavy metal Rhea Ripley walks in to asks if she heard that right. Dakota is after Io Shirai? “Mate, I don’t care if you’re not a team player anymore.” In fact, good for Dakota. But Rhea’s problem is Dakota thinks she’s next. “Io is mine, and I don’t mind going through anyone who thinks otherwise.” Well, Dakota is going to see what William Regal has to say about that. Rhea is fine by that. Just what will GM Regal’s decision be about the NXT Women’s Championship scene?
Backstage interview with Timothy Thatcher.
Tonight, he goes against Dexter Lumis and Finn Balor in the second North American Championship qualifier Triple Threat. “Indeed. Two men that are gonna get schooled in Thatch As Thatch Can. One, Mr. Balor. Last week, he spoke of some sort of push. The only push that I know is when I push my shoulder into his kneecap as I dislocate his leg.” And then we have Lumis, “the man with a thousand mile stare.” Look into Thatcher’s eyes. Lumis thinks he’s a tortured artist, but he knows nothing of the subject, until he steps in the ring with Thatcher. Um, Lumis is lurking in the shadows… Will it be the Professor of Pain that learns something tonight?
The Undisputed Era talks backstage.
Strong and Bobby Fish are also upset with McAfee, and they’re all upset with Gargano, but Kyle O’Reilly arrives to ask what’s going on. That depends, what’s going on with him? Kyle is sick and tired of “the Hollywood BS,” the excuses and setbacks. Do they remember who they are? The Undisputed Era! Freakin’ Roddy Strong! The Infamous Bobby Fish, Kyle’s tag team partner! And Adam Freakin’ Cole! They ran this place since the second they got here! The Undisputed Era is back in business, which means back to changing the business! Kyle has fired up his friends, but will they be able to rebuild at this point?
Shotzi Blackheart VS Mercedes Martinez w/ The Robert Stone Brand!
“Welcome to the ball pit!” The wild child is ready to #TCB, and she “triple dog dared” mean Mercedes to give her a destructive dream match! But can Shotzi take care of business now that Mercedes is doing business with Robert Stone?
The bell rings and Shotzi goes right at Mercedes with forearms! Mercedes shoves her away but Shotzi comes back with more!

Mercedes hits a SPINE BUSTER! High stack, TWO!
Mercedes keeps on Shotzi with more ground ‘n’ pound, then she scrapes her sole on Shotzi’s face! Mercedes drags Shotzi up, clubs away, then suplexes, only for Shotzi to slip out. Shotzi cravats, goes up but gets put on the top rope. Mercedes CLUBS Shotzi, climbs up to club her more, then clubs her in the chest over and over! Shotzi is a ragdoll as Mercedes brings her up for a SPIDER SUPER GERMAN! Mercedes sits up, hops down and drags Shotzi into the fireman’s carry. Mercedes tucks, AIR RAID CRASH! Cover, Mercedes wins!
Winner: Mercedes Martinez, by pinfall
Stone’s newest signee is already paying off! Mercedes tanks NXT’s tank girl, will she do the same to the rest of the roster?
NXT, prepare for Ridge Holland’s arrival.
“Growing up in Yorkshire, England, you either go to jail, of you find a way out.” His way out was built on malice, forged on the rugby field. He was too violent. Just ask anyone he has been on the field with, or in the ring with. “They don’t leave the same. NXT, this is your warning. Ridge Holland is coming for the North American Championship.” The Northern Grit comes to the States! Will anyone stand a chance with him in the running?
Keith Lee is here!
The Limitless NXT Champion is not in a good mood as he goes to the ring. Keith grabs a mic to speak. “Let’s get something straight. We can talk all day about Dijak telling me no. That he wanted it. But the reality is, Dijak is a grown man, and he is going to be just fine. On the other hand, this man that seems to think the sound of sand is the sound of a clock…” Keith wants Kross to listen. “You have clearly made it a point that you want my attention, that you want this championship, and you’ve done so much extra BULLSH*T!” The crowd likes this angry Keith as he tells Kross, “All of your extra BULLSH*T means nothing when you can’t come to me face to face!” Keith is here, doing something Kross does not have the BALLS to do, and that is to talk face to face, man to man. “Kross, I’m calling you out.”
But instead of Mr. Doomsday, Keith gets the Carolina Caveman, Cameron Grimes! “Dijakovic? Kross?” Keith should be talking about Cameron Grimes! If anyone should be upset, it’s Grimes! Because Keith gave away the North American Championship before Grimes could take both titles. But that’s okay, because Grimes is here to say that he is taking that NXT Championship, “and going straight to the moon~!” Keith, can you hear him? Look at him, Keith. Can you hear? Keith can hear, and he can feel Grimes’ head in his hands as he grabs Grimes from the apron!! Grimes panics but Keith tosses him in with one hand! And then he corner splashes Grimes down! The crowd is rowdy as Grimes flounders to his feet, but then the spotlights shine on Keith, and Scarlett Bordeaux.
Scarlett is dressed in scarlet as she stands on stage. And then Grimes runs at Keith! But then “OH SH-,” the Cave-In is turned into a SPIRIT BOMB! Grimes twitches but Scarlett doesn’t move. She waves a hand, and Kross talks to “Mr. Lee” via the titantron. “What kind of a man makes the choice to stand by and do absolutely nothing while his friend suffers?” Keith did that. And Keith has to live with that. But for now, Kross will provide Keith with two choices. The easy way: Keith gives Kross his shot at the title. The hard way, and Kross says Keith doesn’t even want to know what that is. “Because everyone will suffer! Ticktock.” Keith picks up a mic to say, “Choices. You wan’t to talk about choices? Kross, pick the time and place, and I will whoop that ass.” Scarlett leaves to take that message back to her man. Kross calls it the easy way, but will he learn how hard it is to stop the Limitless One?
Imperium VS Ever-Rise!
The NXT Tag Team Champions, Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel, return! Their part in Imperium’s takeover of both branches resumes, but will the Canadian best friends for life, Chase Parker and Matt Martel, be able to throw a wrench into those plans?
The teams sort out, Barthel starts with Martel and the two circle. Barthel slaps Martel around a bit as they end up in the corner. The ref calls for a break, Barthel lets off but gets in another slap! Martel runs at Barthel but into the arm-drag, and Barthel turns it into a keylock. Martel endures, gets up, pushes Barthel back but Aichner tags in. Barthel whips and Aichner arm-drags Martel for an armlock of his own. Aichner shifts around and wrenches to get another high keylock. Martel spins through and whips but Aichner reverses, but Martel holds ropes and boots back. Parker tags in, Martel trips Aichner up and Parker slingshots for the elbow drop! Barthel runs in but Parker dodges to CHOP!
Parker throws hands on Barthel, whips Martel so Martel can whip him, and then rocks Barthel with a forearm smash! Parker feeds Barthel to the drop toehold, but Aichner intercepts Parker to SPINE BUSTER him onto Martel! Aichner drags Parker up to throw him to the corner, then he tags in Barthel. Imperium puts Parker in the ropes to meet at the corner with double dropkicks! Parker crawls away but Barthel drags him up. Barthel ROCKS Parker with the uppercut then tags Aichner. Imperium whips Parker for Aichner’s SPINE BUSTER! Barthel adds the PENALTY KICK! Then they coordinate to give Parker the EURO BOMB!! Cover, Imperium wins!
Winner: Imperium, by pinfall
The Pride of Italy and the Impeccable German defeat the longest bonded team, and now take up the mic to speak. “The standard bearers of the NXT Tag Team Division have returned!” But then the Undisputed Era interrupts! Cole, Strong, Fish and O’Reilly rush the ring and attack Imperium! This is Worlds Collide reignited! Their 4v2 advantage beats Imperium down and the crowd is thunderous! SUPERKICK for Barthel! TOTAL ANNIHILATION for Aichner! “We are the Undisputed Era! We’re the ones who run NXT, not anybody else!” Is this the spark that lights a new flame to #ShockTheSystem?
NXT takes a closer look at Bronson Reed.
“This place, with all the street art and graffiti, reminds me of my home, Adelaide, South Australia.” Auszilla would watch his friends and family do street art with passion and love. His passion was pro-wrestling. His earliest memories in life are of him watching pro-wrestling with his uncle. It was a dream to get to the WWE, but he didn’t think it was possible. His journey to NXT revolves around his wife. To start wrestling, he had to go to a wrestling camp, which of course cost money. She was the one who gave him the money to do it, and has since then been the one motivating him forward. Reed has gone all around the world, 13 different countries, to land here in NXT. He was in the Breakout Tournament, faced Dexter Lumis to start it off, and won big.
“Michael Jordan said that some people want it to happen, some people wish it would happen, and only some people make it happen.” Reed feels he is that third group. He made it happen against two incredibly talented superstars, and proved himself and the world that he is a prime time player. Nothing will stop him in the ladder match, because no one has 320 pounds of fury like him. His body is built for destruction. No one has his fighting spirit. Shawn Michaels had his boyhood dream come true, but TakeOver 30 will see the THICC BOI DREAM come true!
William Regal addresses the situation between Keith Lee and Karrion Kross.
“Good evening, everyone.” In light of what we saw between Keith and Kross, Regal wants to remind them both that he will not be bullied into making championship matches. Those opportunities are still and will always be earned in NXT. Then just how far will Kross go to earn his shot at the Limitless One?
Isaiah “Swerve” Scott VS Jake Atlas!
Swerve oozes confidence, and is so confident that his one win over Santos Escobar is enough, that he has been calling out the NXT Cruiserweight Champion between NXT and 205 Live. But Atlas was also fairly impressive in that Cruiserweight Championship round robin. Will Atlas leave Swerve on the outside looking in at the title scene?
The bell rings and Atlas circles with Swerve. They tie up, Atlas snapmares but Swerve avoids a cover and headscissors Atlas back. Swerve kips up while Atlas scrambles to a corner, and Swerve grins as fans cheer. Atlas and Swerve go again, Atlas goes for a leg but Swerve grabs the arm. Atlas finishes the takeover and speeds things up, Swerve stays low but Atlas leaps over to use that gymnastics background to handstand walk and handspring back! Swerve gets clear, goes Eddy Gordo but Atlas throws him down. Atlas slides to kick but Swerve avoids that, and avoids the standing moonsault. Atlas lands on his feet, cartwheels away from the boot, and then dropkicks Swerve down! The crowd is fired up as Swerve sits up and checks his chin. Atlas bows but Swerve smirks.
Swerve shoves Atlas to a corner, Atlas boots but Swerve deflects. Atlas rebounds, arm-drags and then runs to dropkick again! Swerve deflects that, too, Oklahoma Rolls Atlas into a ghost pin, TWO! Atlas kicks low then CHOPS Swerve to a corner. Atlas CHOPS again, and again! Swerve is reeling but Atlas clubs and kicks him! Atlas kicks again but Swerve catches it and puts him in a corner to CALF KICK him down! Swerve takes a moment to check his chin while NXT goes to break.

Atlas crawls to the cover, TWO!?! Swerve survives and the crowd is thunderous!
Atlas hurries to the corner and climbs back up. “This is Awesome!” has he cartwheels, but no Rainbow DDT just yet as Swerve pushes Atlas off course! Swerve sweeps the legs to SUPERKICK! Atlas is stuck in a Tree of Woe, Swerve hits the HOUSE CALL on the outside! Swerve puts Atlas back in, hoists him up, JML DRIVER! Cover, Swerve wins!

Atlas gave Swerve quite the fight, but in the end, Swerve leaves Atlas down and out! Will he be able to dethrone Escobar and bring the Cruiserweight gold to Swerve’s House?
Backstage interview with Damian Priest.
The Archer of Infamy has a Triple Threat North American Championship qualifier next week against Oney Lorcan and the debuting Ridge Holland. His thoughts? He finds it very interesting. He knew he was in one of these Triple Threats, but nothing has changed now that he knows his opponents. This opportunity is his to take, and there is no scenario in his mind where he doesn’t walk out of TakeOver: XXX as the new North American Champion. He isn’t looking past his opponents, though. He knows how tough Oney is, and though he doesn’t know much about Holland, it’s obvious “that dude’s legit.” Come next week, we will not see an upset like with Bronson Reed. The favorite will win, and then the Reign of Infamy begins. But speaking of, tonight’s Triple Threat is up next! Who will Priest look to join after tonight?
NXT makes it official!
To determine who faces Io Shirai for the NXT Women’s Championship at TakeOver: XXX, it will be a #1 Contender’s Match between Dakota Kai and Rhea Ripley!

And after the huge attack the Undisputed Era hit Imperium with, the NXT Tag Team Championships are on the line! Aichner and Barthel take on reDRagon, O’Reilly & Fish as part of next week’s episode!

Winner: Dexter Lumis, by submission (advances to TakeOver: XXX)
The Professor of Pain just learned a valuable lesson about Triple Threats: always watch out for the third man. Lumis joins Bronson Reed in the ladder match, bringing them both back to the Breakout Tournament where it all began. Will things be very, very different for the Tortured Artist?
My Thoughts:
A great episode once again, with some very interesting developments. First off, it seems the “incident” with Adam Cole on the Pat McAfee Show is highly likely a work, though I can’t be sure to what end. I feel like we got a Face turn out of the entire Undisputed Era since they went after Imperium, who are firmly Heels. Strong VS Gargano was a great match, but Gargano wins so that his #TJGW story still makes sense. Imperium VS Ever-Rise was a good Face showing for Ever-Rise but also a really good return win for Imperium. Reigniting things with Imperium is great, because Worlds Collide’s 4v4 unfortunately had one fault in that Alexander Wolfe got legitimately injured and was out of the match. It is a bit optimistic, but perhaps a proper 4v4 can happen at whatever TakeOver is paired with Survivor Series or Royal Rumble as a full revisit. Then and only then should Undisputed Era move on to the “main roster,” preferably SmackDown.
The opening women’s tag match was really good, especially with Dakota jumping Shirai at the ramp. Dakota ups her Heel game by abandoning Candice, but that can always be circled back to with Candice and Dakota having beef down the line. Dakota VS Rhea to officially name a contender is going to be great next week, and while either choice is great, it has to be Dakota who wins because of how things have been going. Rhea has time to wait and see how things go, but Dakota’s been hovering around the title scene, she needs another go to make the WarGames Heel turn pay off. Meanwhile, Shotzi has a pretty good match with Mercedes, but of course Mercedes wins. Mercedes just got back, she’s with Robert Stone Brand, and this will drag the feud out for a bit while both women are outside the title scene.
Speaking of title scenes, Keith had a great promo, perhaps saying BS twice just to get the censors going, and Grimes had the perfectly punctual “bad timing” promo to get whooped. Regal says Kross can’t just bully his way to a title match but I have a feeling he’ll do just that in the coming weeks. Swerve VS Atlas was very good, but Swerve felt like the natural winner given all the spotlight he gets between NXT and 205 Live. I’m sure between the two shows, El Legado del Fantasma will respond to the would-be contender, and I feel like with that trio as a common enemy, Swerve, Atlas and perhaps a returning Kushida could face them in a Six Man before anything is decided.
The vignette for Bronson Reed was really good, and is a strong indicator he is a favorite in the Furious 5 Ladder Match. Honestly, it was between him and Finn as far as I was concerned, and now that Finn is out, I’m thinking Reed takes it all the way. Priest VS Oney VS Holland is next week, and that is great for all three men involved. Holland’s move from NXT UK to NXT USA is a good move for him. Holland came into NXT UK feeling like a midcard championship level star but there is no proper midcard title in NXT UK, so going for the North American title is smart. I feel like Holland will win to mostly be a shock factor, and add some serious strength to the ladder match.
Tonight’s Triple Threat was incredible and had another somewhat surprising finish. I would’ve thought Thatcher would catch Lumis or Balor into a surprise submission, but it’s great for Lumis to get this win in many ways. Most of all, I feel like this ladder match is making up for how things went in the wake of the Breakout Tournament. The controversy and anger that caused Jordan Myles to quit WWE/NXT (and from what I recall, wrestling altogether) marred a lot of what the Breakout Tournament was meant to do, and having Reed and Lumis, two tournament contestants that didn’t win but stuck around, could get things back on track for that wave of superstars. Reed, Lumis, I again predict Holland, that is already a strong field of young contenders, I can’t wait to see the last two Triple Threats.
My Score: 9.3/10

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?

Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

Cage took Knight to his limits, but The Jet is still standing as TNT Champion. But Knight can’t get over how last week, he couldn’t get the job done becoming #Jet2Belts. Bailey says forget last week. Knight IS a future AEW World Champion! Bailey says he knows it, and everyone here knows it! The fans cheer that!
Knight says he appreciates the support from Bailey and Ashville. Bailey is always in his corner, Knight is always in Bailey’s. And if Bailey keeps it up, he’ll be singles champion, too. Bailey says yeah, Knight got him thinking. Tonight, Darby VS Takeshita, BAILEY WANTS NEXT! Bailey says Takeshita was his greatest rival in Japan, but they’ve yet to have a singles match in AEW. And Darby, as much as Bailey wants to see MJF go bald…! Bailey is coming for Darby’s AEW World Championship! JetSpeed daps it up, will they become a 2 Fly 2 Man Power Trip?
AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags! Ospreay wristlocks and he bends the fingers! Ospreay isolates the arm to then STOMP it!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores!

Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again!

The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!

Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!!

Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving!

But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
