PLAY BY PLAY

Eddie Dennis VS Oliver Carter!

The headmaster returns to in-ring action and is ready to teach NXT UK all about fear. But the Predator Killer has always wanted to fight a teacher! Will Carter slay the Welsh Dragon and climb up the NXT UK ranks?

The bell rings and Dennis circles with Carter. They tie up, Carter gets around to a waistlock and a slam, then floats to a facelock. Dennis is already frustrated with Carter as he fights his way up. Dennis pries his way out of the facelock to wrench the arm. Dennis clubs the arm, wrenches more, then hammerlocks to a headlock and takeover! Carter keeps his shoulders up but Dennis traps an arm. Dennis fights off the headscissor and pushes Carter down to a cover, ONE! Carter fights up to get that headscissor hold and he clamps on tight! Dennis endures, fights up and around, and pops out of the hold to then STOMP Carter in the gut! Carter gets up to throw body shots and haymakers! Dennis gets the arm again, wrenches and YANKS, then YANKS again!

Carter rolls, handsprings and kicks free to ROCK Dennis with a forearm! Carter fires off more body shots, whips but Dennis reverses. Carter stops himself and elbows back hard!

The ref wants Dennis to stay back as Carter sits up in a daze. Dennis goes out, drags Carter up and ROCKS him with that right hand!

Dennis toys with Carter, whips him corner to corner HARD, and Carter bounces off buckles! Dennis drags Carter up to a cravat but Carter endures.

Carter hoists Dennis up but Dennis slips down to get the crucifix, SPLASH MOUNTAIN!! Cover, Dennis wins!

Winner: Eddie Dennis, by pinfall

Carter taught Dennis a thing about toughness, but the Welsh Dragon refused to be slain! Dennis gets the mic and tells Carter to get out of his ring. Go back to the tag division! “You’re dismissed.” Speaking of the tag division, isn’t it terrible what happened to Flash Morgan Webster? Of course, we all know who did it, don’t we? Who stood to gain the most from Flash being on the shelf? “Regardless, next week, in this very ring,” Dennis invites Flash and his “illustrious ‘best friend’,” Mark Andrews, for a “special mediation, led by yours truly, Eddie Dennis. Until next time, class adjourned.” What is Dennis implying about South Wales Subculture?

NXT UK hears from Joe Coffey.

“Where I come from, you have to be a wee bit insane. It’s about me, it’s about My opportunities.” The Iron King says he is born for greatness, and he leads Gallus in their takeover of NXT UK! He vows to bring more gold to the firm, and make this his kingdom! Joe Coffey is on his way back, who will he be aiming for when he returns?

NXT UK has a special start time next week!

Instead of 3 PM Eastern it will be 4PM Eastern! But it’ll be a big episode with Jordan Devlin returning to action as well as the NXT UK Championship on the line!

Amale VS Nina Samuels!

The French Hope and the Leading Lady couldn’t get along as teammates and that cost them. But now they can go head to head as opponents! Who will have the spotlight on them after this is said and done?

The bell rings and the two go right at each other! They tie up, Amale powers Samuels to the ropes but the ref calls for the break.

Winner: Nina Samuels, by pinfall

That Final Act was a real page turner, and Samuels has the spotlight on her. But will she finally make her way towards the NXT UK Women’s Championship?

BREAKING NEWS!

After Eddie Dennis called them out, South Wales Subculture will confront him in the ring, just as he wants! Are they playing right into his hands?

NXT UK Media catches up with Nina Samuels backstage.

After a disappointing loss two weeks ago, how did it feel to win tonight? Well, we can all see Samuels doesn’t work as a double act. “It deprives our audience of what we need, because we all know NXT UK needs more Nina.” This is the official relaunch of the Nina Samuels Show! And now for her next production, Ms. Piper Niven. Will the Leading Lady look to steal the show from Piper the Viper?

NXT UK Heritage Cup Tournament Opening Round: Trent Seven VS Kenny Williams!

Seven survives that shot with two minutes left in this round! Williams drags Seven back up, throws forearms after forearms, and even more forearms! Seven guards to hit back! Williams wobbles, but comes back to wheelbarrow, but into a SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!!

Seven gets Williams up, scoops him and hits EMERALD FLOWSION! Cover, TWO!! Williams survives but Seven gets up top?! Williams SHORYUKENS from the apron! Williams CHOPS with less than a minute in the round, and goes up, SUPER STEINER! But Seven rolls through for a high stack cover, SEVEN WINS!!

Winner: Trent Seven, with 2 falls; advances to the semifinals

With 38 seconds remaining in the fifth round, the Man from Moustache Mountain makes it through the opening round! Seven shows Williams respect as he helps him up and raises his hand. But as tough as it was against Williams, it’ll be that much harder against the Bomber! Will Seven survive the Proper British Heavyweight’s heavy hands?

Sid Scala presides over the NXT UK Championship contract signing.

“NXT UK Universe, welcome to the official contract signing for next week’s NXT UK Championship main event!” He welcomes first the challenger, Ilja Dragunov! The Moscow Madman goes to the ring, perhaps still sore from that epic tag match last week. And then, the champion, WALTER! The Ring General takes the belt into the ring and sets it down on the table. Both men take their seats and Scala hopes their time will be spent on the business at hand. Walter is first to sign the contract, and does so without a word. Dragunov has his turn to sign, which he does, and he stands up to shout, “UN! BE! SIEG!” Walter SLAPS Dragunov before he can finish his catchphrase! And SLAPS him again! Walter takes off his track suit jacket and rips Dragunov’s shirt off, literally! Walter CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Dragunov! Walter shoves the table aside so there’s more room as he kicks and CHOPS Dragunov!

Walter brings Dragunov off, talks trash in German and brings Dragunov up, but Dragunov slips out of the bomb to ENZIGURI! Walter wobbles, Dragunov fires off fists! Dragunov shoves the chairs and table aside and goes up top! Dragunov LEAPS, into a CHOP!! Walter smacks Dragunov out of the air!! And then gives him an APRON WALTER BOMB!! Walter CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Dragunov again, then makes him look at the belt! Walter says that belt is his forever, and he CHOPS Dragunov on the back! And reels Dragunov into a LARIAT! Referees rush out to keep Walter back but he powers through to BOOT Dragunov down! Dragunov bumps off steel steps, but he still comes back to TACKLE Walter THROUGH the barriers!!

Both men are down on the ground and the referees hurry over to check on them. Dragunov rises!? Dragunov still has to crawl back to the ring, but he grabs the belt! Walter is furious as he sees this, and as Dragunov throws the title back to him! Referees hold Walter back even as he and Dragunov shout at each other! Will Dragunov truly take that belt for his own when these two finally get to unleash all this fury in the ring?

My Thoughts:

A great, fiery episode right here! Dennis VS Carter was a really good return for Dennis in singles action, but you can tell he’s being careful with his repaired shoulder. The Next Stop Driver was more a powerslam, and instead of the full Severn Bridge, he stopped halfway for the “Splash Mountain” crucifix bomb. But in the end, all effective offense, and I like that he’s suddenly invested in the South Wales Subculture Whodunnit. He’s implying it was Mark Andrews but perhaps Dennis is forgetting the previous attack on Andrews himself. I honestly feel like it should be spun that it’s been Dennis the whole time. I’ve been waiting for Dennis to go after one of his former friends between Andrews or Pete Dunne so maybe that’s this.

Amale VS Samuels was great, in the same vein as Piper VS Isla last week. And it seems since Samuels and Piper both won, they’re going to face off just to bide their time waiting for the title since Kay Lee Ray VS Jinny is still the clear next match-up. It’s great to see a video package for Joe Coffey, meaning he is also at least found not guilty much like Jordan Devlin. Devlin is back in action next week, so that’s great. I think the special time for next week is NXT UK getting ahead of the Daylights Savings Time curve since that happens Halloween night going into November 1st. Seven VS Williams was perhaps the best, most dramatic British Rounds match yet, though Ohno VS Scala was great, too. I really thought this was going to go to the sixth, but again it ends in the fifth. I bet the sixth round is being saved for the semifinals, and that is going to be great with Dar VS A-Kid and Seven VS Mastiff.

The contract signing was actually a great segment. Sure it ended in a fight like many others, but it was the fact they skipped long promos to give us MORE brawling that made it work. Dragunov’s chest looked like ground beef again just from this much, he might look like cooked steak after the actual match. Dragunov stood tall in the tag match, he technically stands tall here, and he touched the belt. Usually the math says he’s losing, but honestly, who else could possibly do it? Walter’s ran through just about everyone in NXT UK, and unfortunately, Ridge Holland is hurt and was moved to NXT USA. If Holland was still in the UK, he could come back around and go behemoth to behemoth with Walter and get an incredible win. At this point, I’m hoping Dragunov defies math and wins to really change things to commemorate this restart for NXT UK’s rise.

My Score: 8.5/10

The title matches don’t stop, because we go one more round between these two badasses! Will the dogs be barking with the Big Bad Booty Nephew? Or will The Celtic Warrior finally complete his WWE Bingo?

SNME returns and Jesse Ventura joins commentary for this make-or-break moment for Sheamus. Bron makes his entrance and the fans bark already. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and one way or another, we’re getting a banger!

Shawn Michaels is here!

San Antonio fires up for their Heartbreak Kid, the WWE Hall of Famer, and the man who put ladder matches on the map! HBK will moderate the contract signing for the WWE Championship ladder match, after the break!

SNME returns and HBK has the mic. “I am sweating through my suit, because for the last three minutes, I’ve been dancing around because I am so happy to be back home in San Antonio!” The fans cheer that! HBK says he “has been given one job here tonight, and that is to walk out of this ring with the signatures of Kevin Owens and Cody Rhodes.” Nick Aldis couldn’t get it done, so he sent in the closer! Rest assured, it is happening tonight. So as they say, without further ado, he will introduce the challenger for the Undisputed WWE Championship, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Kevin Owens! The fans boo but The Prizefighter still goes to the ring.

Kevin wears a new shirt, “Cody Sucks Eggs,” and he has the Winged Eagle on his shoulder. HBK now welcomes out THE Undisputed WWE Champion, The American Nightmare, Cody Rhodes! The fans cheer Cody’s entrance, “WHOA~ OH~!” and Cody even climbs up a ladder to show he’s not afraid of heights. Cody gets his second round of pyro, then he goes to the ring to join HBK and KO. The fans cheer as Cody and Kevin stare down, but HBK tells them, “Gentlemen, if you would be seated please.” They don’t, so he says fine, he digs it.

HBK says for months, these two have battered and beaten each other. And as much as everyone has enjoyed watching it, HBK has an assignment. That is to walk out of this ring, with their signatures on the contract. So one way or another, it needs to happen. So again, he asks they please sign. Cody takes the pen first, and he signs his part as champion. Kevin then takes the pen, looks a the contract, but then picks up the mic. “Y’know, last night you (Cody) said something that really pissed me off. You said that 10 times outta 10, Kevin Owens takes the easy way out. Is that right? That’s a lie. That’s what you are, you’re a liar.”

Kevin could’ve taken the easy way out at Bash In Berlin because of Cody’s knee, because Kevin cared about their friendship more than Cody ever did! And you know who takes the easy way out? It’s CODY! Who between them left WWE when things got tough? Kevin stayed, Cody quit! Cody shouts, “ENOUGH! ENOUGH, Kevin!” Cody didn’t come here to talk about the past, or so Kevin can justify his actions. Cody didn’t get all dressed up, HBK didn’t return to San Antonio, to hear Kevin talk! Cody is done worrying about Kevin Owens. Cody instead must focus on who he is defending his title against at WrestleMania.

So if Kevin would just please, SIGN, THE, CONTRACT! The fans cheer, but Kevin tells Cody, “Trust me, you’re not done worrying about Kevin Owens. Because once I sign this, you know what that means? That makes it official. That Saturday night at the Royal Rumble, I will shut everyone up who dares to say I’m not the real champion. I am the true, rightful WWE Champion! And once I win the title, everything you got when you came back, your face on every poster, on all the buses, all the fanfare, all the grand entrances, all the attention, the pyro, everything, it’s coming to ME! Because that’s what I’ve deserved for the last TEN YEARS, and I’m taking it from YOU!”

HBK waits a moment, then says, “Jesus, Kevin. You just sound jealous.” Kevin glares at HBK and asks what he just said. HBK says that Kevin sounds jealous. JEALOUS!? Kevin says that’s rich! HBK is just like Cody! When things got tough for HBK, he quit, too! You wanna know who is jealous? HBK is jealous that Kevin brought more pride to the Winged Eagle than HBK ever did! And once Kevin wins, he will give everyone a champion they can be proud of, that they can look to, and won’t lose his smile~! The only one losing at the Rumble is Cody! Kevin finally signs his part, then he SHOVES it into HBK!

The fans boo but Kevin stares Cody down again. HBK says, “Gentlemen, there’s only one thing left to do, and that is to take these championships. May I please get a referee in here? And ascend them above the ring.” A referee does step in, and Kevin gives the Winged Eagle title a last kiss before handing it over. That belt is strapped onto the hanger, then the same is done with Cody’s corporate logo belt. The hanger is then lifted into the air, and HBK says next Saturday, Lucas Oil Stadium, one man ascends the ladder, and one man walks out THE Undisputed WWE Champion. He wishes them luck, then offers a handshake.

Kevin leaves HBK hanging, so Cody takes the hand. And Kevin sucker punches Cody! HBK warns KO, but then KO kicks HBK! But Cody SUPERKICKS Kevin! HBK is furious, so he tunes up the band! The fans are thunderous for some SWEET CHIN MUSIC!! Kevin tumbles out of the ring while San Antonio cheers! Will Cody make sure “The Canadian Dream” is living a nightmare after the Royal Rumble? Or will Kevin find a way to ruin Cody’s Road to WrestleMania?

Braun Strowman VS Jacob Fatu!

There may not be a championship on the line, but you can consider this a title match in that the winner here could very well be the ALPHA monster! Will the Monster of All Monsters still be Braun Strowman? Or will the Samoan Werewolf tear down #OneBigSOB?

SNME returns and once again, Tama & Jacob walk ‘n’ talk. The Good Bad Guy says everyone’s on that YEHYEHYEH! Jacob tells Braun that he may be a tough SOB, but keep it 100, he never been in the ring with nobody like Jacob! He’s America’s Most Wanted! You know what time it is? Get in where you fit in! Cuz tonight, Jacob beats Braun’s ass post to post, live from NBC on coast to coast! Ya know what I mean?! Jacob makes his entrance, Tama letting him go alone. The bell rings and the fans rally up. Jacob and Braun stare down, tie up, and Jacob pushes Braun back, until Braun SHOVES Jacob down! Both men run up, and Braun RUNS Jacob over!

Braun storms up on Jacob at the ropes, the ref gets in between them, and Jacob sucker punches Braun! Jacob runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Braun ELBOWS him down! Braun snarls, runs up again, and he LARIATS Jacob up and out! Jacob is right back on his feet, and he HOTSHOTS Braun away! Braun comes back, Jacob DUMPS him out, then KICKS Braun! Jacob then DIVES! Direct hit and down goes Braun! The fans fire up while SNME goes to break.

SNME returns again and Jacob HEADBUTTS Braun again and again! The fans rally for Braun but Jacob runs, only for Braun to scoop! SIDEWALK SLAM! Both men are down and the fans rally up again. Braun and Jacob rise again, and Braun CHOPS! Braun fires a forearm, and another! Braun ROCKS Jacob, runs, and BOOTS Jacob down! Jacob goes to a corner while the fans fire up. Braun storms up to fire body shots, then stands Jacob up. Braun TOSSES Jacob across the way! Jacob tumbles out, sputters and coughs, and Braun goes outside! The Strowman Express is on the tracks, and he CLOBBERS Jacob into barriers!

The fans fire up again and Braun says let’s go again! Braun does another lap, to POUNCE Jacob over the announce desk! The fans fire up again and Braun takes off his shirt! Braun does another lap, and Jacob’s up in time, to SAMOAN DROP Braun onto the desk!! Jacob shoves Braun down, throws the desk hood onto him, then drags him up to send into steel steps! The ref reprimands, Jacob shoves Braun into the ring, and Jacob hauls Braun up. HEADBUTT! Braun sits in a corner, Jacob goes corner to corner! HIP ATTACK! And then HIP ATTACK again! Braun sputters now, and Jacob HIP ATTACKS again! AND AGAIN!!

Jacob shows no mercy, he hits a FIFTH HIP ATTACK!! The Samoan Werewolf goes again, A SIXTH HIP ATTACK!! Braun is barely even conscious, the ref stops Jacob, but Jacob TOSSES the ref!! Jacob runs to hit NUMBER SEVEN!! NUMBER EIGHT!! The fans boo but now the bell rings! The ref calls this one off for what Jacob did!

Winner: Braun Strowman, by disqualification

Jacob storms out around ringside, and he grabs a chair! He throws that into the ring, but then Aldis and security rush out here! Jacob CHUCKS that chair into the first guard! And then he LARIATS the next! Jacob ignores the refs and Aldis, more security arrives, and they get Jacob to back off. Braun sputters as blood pours from his nose and maybe even his mouth. Jacob’s bloodthirsty and he drags Braun from the corner! Producers get out here to try and stop this, but Jacob doesn’t care! He goes up, up, BEST MOONSAULT EVER!! The werewolf is too wild, but Tama Tonga gets him to stand down.

There are fans who want that “One More Time!” and Jacob hears them! BEST MOONSAULT EVER AGAIN!! The medics hurry out here, and now Jacob and Tama stand down. OR NOT! Jacob gets right back in the ring, and he goes right back up the corner! BEST MOONSAULT EVER!! With no Solo Sikoa to hold onto the leash, will no one be able to stop the Samoan Werewolf?

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: GUNTHER VS Jey Uso!

Der Ring General does not think “Main Event Jey Uso” is worthy of that nickname, and yet here they both are in tonight’s main event. These two already had it out during Gunther’s historic Intercontinental Championship reign, will history repeat itself? Or will Jey finally and for truly stand tall as THE World Heavyweight Champion?

SNME returns and Gunther makes his entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who wins Saturday Night’s Main Event!

The bell rings, Jey puts his sunglasses aside, and Gunther BOOTS Jey down! Gunther talks smack while he stands Jey up, but Jey UPPERCUTS! And ROCKS Gunther with a right! Gunther CHOPS Jey, Jey ROCKS Gunther with more hands! Gunther CHOPS again! Jey is stinging as he falls against the ropes, but Gunther stands him up. Jey dodges the chop to fire body shots! Jey climbs up and he rains down fists! “YEET! YEET! YEET!” But Gunther stops Jey at 7, puts him on the corner, and CHOPS him to the floor! The fans boo while SNME goes to break.

SNME returns again and Jey fires hands! “YEET! YEET! YEET!” But Gunther clamps on a SLEEPER! Jey arm-drags free, but Gunther blocks a kick! Gunther LARIATS Jey down! Cover, TWO! Jey stays in this but Gunther stays on him with a NECK TWIST! Jey writhes while Gunther paces. The fans boo but Gunther stands Jey up. Gunther scoops and SLAMS Jey, then stalks him. Gunther stands Jey up to CHOP him! Jey is again stinging but he stays up. Gunther BOOTS Jey! Jey fires forearms! Gunther CHOPS! Jey fires more forearms! Gunther CHOPS again! Jey rebounds, but into an UPPERCUT! Jey UPPERCUTS back!

Jey fires hands, whips Gunther, but Gunther reverses! Jey hits buckles hard and falls to the mat! Gunther drops a KNEE on him! Gunther then STOMPS Jey’s arm! The fans boo but Gunther looms over Jey. Gunther clamps onto Jey with a chinlock and he grinds his forearm into Jey’s face! The fans rally for Jey and he fights up. Jey manages to fireman’s carry Gunther! The fans fire up but Gunther fights free! Gunther CHOPS! Jey ROCKS! Gunther UPPERCUTS! Jey UPPERCUTS! Gunther swings, Jey dodges, and Jey fireman’s carries! SAMOAN DROP! Both men are down and the fans fire up again!

Jey and Gunther crawl, and Gunther makes it to a corner. Jey goes to the opposite end, and the fans rally behind Jey with “UCE! OH~!” Jey runs, into the SHOTGUN DROPKCIK! Gunther hurries to haul Jey right up, GENERAL BOMBO! High stack, TWO! Jey survives and Gunther is surprised! Gunther catches his breath, calms down, and thinks on what else he should try. The fans rally for Jey even harder while Gunther stalks him to ropes. Jey goes to the apron, but Gunther goes out after him. Gunther stomps Jey, then stands on his neck! The ref reprimands but Gunther steps off. Jey sputters, but Gunther BOOTS him again, right as SNME goes to break!

SNME returns once again, and Jey trades shots with Gunther! The fans rally behind Jey as he gets the edge, “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey pops, locks and- Gunther BOOTS him! Jey kicks, Gunther blocks, but the DRAGON WHIP comes around! Only for Gunther to GERMAN SUPLEX! Gunther runs, into a SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Gunther survives and the fans can’t believe it! Jey catches his breath while Gunther goes to a corner. Gunther comes back, but Jey avoids the shotgun dropkick! Jey gets moving, and he HIP ATTACKS Gunther in the corner! Cover, TWO! Gunther is tougher than that, but the fans still rally.

Jey goes to the corner and the fans fire up! Jey climbs, but Gunther rises! Gunther CHOPS Jey, then CHOPS again! Gunther climbs up after Jey, brings him to the very top, but Jey resists the suplex! Jey fires body shots, then slips under Gunther! Jey brings Gunther out for a POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!! Gunther survives and the fans still can’t believe it! Both Jey and Gunther are down, “This is Awesome!” as they slowly rise. Jey and Gunther rise up, but Gunther kicks low! Gunther reels Jey in, but Jey RANAS! Jey then runs to SPEAR!! Cover, TWO?!? Gunther survives and Jey is frustrated, but Jey hurries to aim again!

Gunther rises, Jey runs up, SUPERKICK! Gunther staggers back up so Jey runs in, SPEAR!! Jey hurries to the corner! Jey climbs, the fans are thunderous, USO SPLASH!! Cover, TWO?!? Gunther survives yet again and Jey is beside himself! The fans rally with more “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and Jey aims from a corner. Jey runs up, but Gunther turns spear into POWERBOMB! And then he flips Jey over to POWERBOMB again!! DEEP stack, GUNTHER WINS!

Winner: Gunther, by pinfall (still WWE World Heavyweight Champion)

Gunther didn’t just win, he just survived this battle with Main Event Jey! Der Ring General seems to at least respect Jey a bit more now, but what is it going to take for Jey to truly be the main event player?

My Thoughts:

A great Saturday Night’s Main Event, and while they really made us wonder for a couple moments, they of course held the status quo. As I said going into tonight, it would be a bit odd if the moment Sheamus finally won the Intercontinental Championship was here on NBC TV. A moment like that should be saved for WrestleMania, but I’m not sure that’ll even happen now. Granted, we have three months to build, but what would the point be after all this? Rhea VS Nia was an awesome match, especially with Rhea busting out some stuff she’d never really done before. Rhea of course won because she just got this belt back, and Nia will be in the Women’s Rumble to beef it up while trying to get after Tiffany.

The contract signing segment being in the middle was a touch surprising, but I do appreciate that they understood a title match should be the main event. Good stuff from Cody, Kevin and HBK, especially Kevin’s shirt to reference Terry Funk’s classic “Dusty Sucks Eggs” shirt. Of course a fight started, and good stuff with HBK getting a Sweet Chin Music in, but this isn’t the go-home segment so don’t expect Kevin to win the ladder match just yet. Raw and SmackDown have their go-home episodes first, we’ll surely get a segment where Kevin gets even with Cody to put things back in Cody’s favor.

Great promo from Tama & Jacob as they head to gorilla, and then a great match from Jacob VS Braun. I was saying just last night that I expected a No Contest or Draw, but they instead went a much more vicious route. Jacob loses because he threw the ref aside, but he stands tall because he brutalized Braun like very few ever have. Jacob can definitely use this to do big things in the Rumble, and from there he can go for the US Championship, as I was also saying last night. Gunther VS Jey was awesome stuff, and they really got me thinking Jey was going to pull this off, but like with Sheamus, Jey’s crowning achievement is perhaps too big for just SNME. It would be pretty wild if Jey won the Men’s Rumble so that he could get one more chance at this title and win it in Vegas.

My Score: 8.9/10

PLAY BY PLAY

The Patriarchy speaks.

Christian Cage says, “Tonight, my son, Nick Wayne, takes on Samoa Joe. And I’m so confident that he’s going to walk out with a victory, I’m going to allow him to speak.” Nick tells Joe that tonight, in Joe’s long awaited return, Nick will embarrass him. Nick will dismantle him! And he’ll do it all with a smile on his face. “Then The Patriarchy will resume our quest-” Christian cuts Nick off, “To become the next AEW World Champion.” The Prodigy has his father’s blessing, but will he just get an ass kicking from the Samoan Submission Machine?

Toni Storm speaks.

“Mariah May, we finally meet face to face! You are a veteran and a champion, so I will give you my utmost respect. Also, it’s Toni Time!”

Mariah May speaks.

Or rather, she holds up her AEW Women’s World Championship, then laughs and says, “Okay.” The Glamour is not sweating “the rookie,” but will she regret underestimating her?

Samoa Joe speaks.

“Tonight, I welcome the world to join me as I correct an injustice. For you see, tonight, the son will suffer the sins of the father. And Nick Wayne, you will suffer them in total.” Saturday night’s alright for a fight, but will Nick even survive this Collision with Samoa Joe?

Samoa Joe VS Nick Wayne w/ The Patriarchy!

The Patriarchy of course accompanies Nick out here, but then Nick, Christian & Kip Sabian corner Joe in the ring. But wait! Here come Hook & Shibata! They back Joe up and that makes The Patriarchy back down. The ref gets this to be just Joe and Nick, and the bell rings. Joe and Nick circle, tie up, and Nick can’t even push Joe back an inch! Nick headlocks, but Joe isn’t bothered at all. Joe powers up and out, Nick RAMS him, but Joe pretends he didn’t even feel it. Nick talks a bit of smack, then runs, and he RAMS Joe again! Nick shoves Joe, talks some more smack, then claps to get the fans going.

Nick goes to run, but he really just mule kicks Joe low! The fans boo but Nick runs after all, only for Joe to trip him! And SENTON! The fans cheer and Joe winds up to JAB! JAB! JAB! Joe fires off on Nick in the corner, the fans cheer, and Joe fires off a flurry! Joe ROCKS Nick and the fans fire up again. Joe brings Nick up to CHOP, and Nick’s chewing gum goes flying! Joe hoists Nick up, tucks him in, but Nick CLAWS Joe’s eyes! Nick slips free and ENZIGIRIS! Joe goes to a corner, Nick runs in, but Joe boots! Nick blocks, and he DRAGON SCREWS! Joe clutches his knee and Nick stomps away on him!

Nick kicks Joe, drags him to a corner, then SLAMS Joe’s leg into the post! The fans boo but The Patriarchy is proud. Nick steps in to argue with the ref, Christian wants Joe’s leg! Hook & Shibata get Christian to back off! Nick brings Joe up but Joe CHOPS! And CHOPS! Nick dropkicks the leg! Joe bails out, Nick goes up and up to ARIHARA MOONSAULT! Down goes Joe but the fans boo. Nick and Christian hug, and then Nick brings Joe up. Nick puts Joe in the ring, then pushes him down for a cover, ONE!! The fans cheer and Joe snarls but Nick kicks him around. Nick then stomps the bad leg, and he calls for the leg lock.

The fans boo but Nick grins as he steps through. But Joe BOOTS him away! Joe runs up, Nick dodges, and Nick comes back! Joe says sit down, URENAGE! The fans fire up again and Joe brings Nick to the top rope. Nick CLAWS Joe’s eyes again! The ref reprimands, Joe staggers back, and Nick slips around to run up, CODE RED! Cover, TWO! The Patriarchy is upset but Nick calls his shot. Nick goes up, up, and WAYNE- NO, Joe dodges! And LARIATS! Joe hauls Nick right up, puts him right up top, and tucks him right in! Christian & Kip get on the apron, Hook & Shibata YANK them down! They brawl, Joe hits the MUSCLE BUSTER! Cover, Joe wins!

Winner: Samoa Joe, by pinfall

The numbers were even, and that’s why The Patriarchy couldn’t win! But the revenge on behalf of Taz surely isn’t over, when and where will Joe, Hook & Shibata tear down The Patriarchy?

Kazuchika Okada VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!

The AEW Continental Champion battles the ROH World Television Champion for the first time ever! Will Okada make it rain in Jacksonville? Or can the Commander of the Skies keep the skies clear for takeoff?

The bell rings and the fans fire up. Okada and Komander slowly circle, and Okada offers a handshake. Komander is wary, but he accepts, only to say “OLE~!” Okada is stoic despite being duped like a bull with the matador’s cape. Okada still offers, but then Komander again says, “OLE~!” The fans cheer and Okada is trying not to get mad. But then he takes a swing! Komander dodges to fire kick after kick! SOBAT! Komander runs, slides under, UP KICKS, then DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander whips Okada to ropes. Okada reverses to CLAW Komander’s eyes! The fans boo but Okada reels Komander in.

Okada suplexes but Komander slips free, and he drags Okada down as he becomes a backpack! Komander has a SLEEPER, but Okada fights up to his feet, only for Komander to have the ELEVATED COBRA TWIST! Okada endures, storms his way forward, and he manages the ROPEBREAK! Komander lets go, Okada bails out, but Komander DIVES! Direct hit into the railing! Komander puts Okada in, CLUBS away on him, then runs, but Okada BOOTS him down! The fans are torn but Okada drags Komander up. Okada ROCKS Komander, then has him in the corner to ROCK him again!

The fans rally, Okada whips, but Komander slips out to the apron. Komander RAMS Okada, then goes up, up and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! The fans fire up as Okada bails out! Komander runs, rolls, jumps and… slow motion flips over the ropes! But Okada stops the rana! Okada kicks low and he DDTS Komander to the floor! Okada feels much better now while Komander writhes, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Okada takes his time bringing Komander up, and RAMS him into the railing! Okada then puts Komander in the ring, stalks him to center, and stands him up. Okada bumps Komander off buckles, then takes his time standing Komander back up. Okada ELBOWS Komander in the corner, ELBOWS him again, and whips corner to corner. Okada runs up to ELBOW Komander down! Komander sputters on the mat while Okada paces around. Okada looms over Komander, taunts him, and Komander rises up. Komander fires a forearm, but Okada eggs him on! Komander fires more forearms, but Okada knees low and DDTS! Cover, TWO!

Okada is annoyed, but he keeps Komander down with a MONEY CLIP! Komander endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and Homecoming returns to single picture. Komander fires body shots but Okada CLUBS him down! Okada whips Komander to a corner, runs in, but Komander ELBOWS him away! Okada comes back but Komander BOOTS him! Komander goes up, FLYING- NO, Okada stops the rana, brings Komander up, but Komander FACEBUSTERS! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Okada rises, but Komander KICKS a leg! Komander blocks a shot, KICKS again, then ducks the haymaker!

Komander tightrope walks, but Okada bails out! So Komander just ARIHARA MOONSAULTS! The fans are thunderous as Komander puts Okada in! Springboard and- NO, Okada gets around, ripcords, RAINMAKER!! Cover, Okada wins!

Winner: Kazuchika Okada, by pinfall

Komander gave Okada quite the fight, but this is why Okada is one of the best in the world. Okada again offers the handshake, and Komander sits up to take it. Okada helps Komander stand, just to DECK him! The fans boo but Okada HAMMERS away on Komander! Okada grins as he leaves Komander behind, will anyone win his respect? Will anyone win against him period?

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs is waiting in the parking lot.

Hobbs asks where Big Bill is at! The Learning Tree spurred on The Redwood to call Hobbs out, so Hobbs is waiting on him now! Whoa, someone threw a brick!? That’s Bill alright! Bill and Hobbs brawl, then Hobbs fires off! Hobbs ROCKS Bill again and again, then he grabs something from the outdoor catering area. Hobbs SMACKS Bill with a metal cooking sheet! Hobbs tells Bill to get up, then he SMACKS Bill again! Bill staggers around, Hobbs just SMACKS him with another sheet! Hobbs fires more haymakers on Bill, then brings Bill around to SMACK him with a trash can lid! And SMACK him again!

Hobbs takes the can, but Bill BOOTS it into Hobbs! Hobbs staggers to the fence, but Hobbs RIPS the fence door off its hinges!! Hobbs CHUCKS it at Bill! Bill staggers, security rushes out here, but Hobbs throws them aside! Hobbs gets loose but Bill backs off. Bill says he has Hobbs, it’s just a matter of time. Hobbs says the night is just getting started, but will we see these two titans clash again before Homecoming is over?

Backstage interview with Big Boom AJ & Big Justice.

Lexy Nair is with the Costco Guys as they return to AEW, but are here visiting Daily’s Place for the first time. Lexy says the energy is infectious, so how does it feel to be part of AEW Homecoming? AJ says it is so cool, but then Roderick Strong shouts, “BIIIIIG! Boom AJ!” The Undisputed Kingdom walks in and Big Justice is certainly starstruck. Kyle O’Reilly lets the Costco Guys know there’s a certain someone who wants to have a little talk with them. Adam Cole steps forward, and he says he knows what they do. And AJ says they know what Cole does. Then wanna do it together? Yeah!

Cole, Big Justice & Big AJ all join in for a “BOOM~!” Now, the Kingdom’s gotta run, have fun watching the show. Cole fist bumps the Costco Guys, and AJ says Lexy can join in on this. Those guys get five big BOOMS~! B-B-B-B-BOOM! But bigger than that, will Cole, Kyle & Roddy make Homecoming undisputed? Or will the reunion of 2Point0 be one to remember?

Six Man Tag: Daniel Garcia & 2Point0 VS The Undisputed Kingdom!

The trios sort out and the TNT Champion starts against Cole. They tie up, Cole wrenches to a wristlock, but Garcia rolls, wrenches, and wristlocks back. Cole spins, slips through and wrenches to hammerlock. Garcia reaches back, manages a snapmare, and then a headlock. Cole fights up but Garcia hits a headlock takeover. Cole headscissors, Garcia kips free, and now Cole hits the headlock takeover while Garcia hits the headscissors. Cole kips free, then he dodges a lariat! Garcia avoids a boot, and both men show haymaker! The fans cheer the standoff, and then Garcia and Cole back away. Cole tags Roddy, Garcia tags Daddy Magic.

The fans cheer as Matt Menard is back in action! He ties up with Roddy, Roddy goes for a leg, and they go around and around. Roddy headlocks, wrenches, but Jacksonville is strongly behind Daddy Magic. Menard wrenches, hammerlocks, headlocks, but Roddy powers up and out. Menard runs Roddy over and the fans cheer. Cover, ONE, but Menard wrenches Roddy. Menard brings Roddy over, tag to Cool Hand Ange! “Papa” Angelo Parker wrenches Roddy now, hits a snap suplex, then checks his hair. KNEE DROP! Parker facelocks but Roddy powers Parker to the corner. Tag to Kyle and he KNEES Parker!

Kyle & Roddy CHOP and KICK on repeat! Menard runs up but he gets a CHOP and a KICK! Then Kyle & Roddy double suplex Parker onto Menard! Cover, TWO! Kyle headlocks Parker to keep him from his corner. Parker stomps a foot, headlocks in return, but Kyle powers up and out. Garcia sneaks the tag, Parker hits a BLOCKBUSTER! Garcia runs up to whip, but Kyle BOOTS Parker! Kyle then DUMPS Garcia out! Kyle aims from a corner, and he FLYING KNEES Menard! But Garcia CLOBBERS Kyle! The fans fire up, but Garcia spots Shane Taylor Promotions hanging out in the crowd. Carlie Bravo talks smack, but Lee Moriarty stares his rival down.

Shane Taylor says this isn’t anything Garcia wants. Garcia says sure, whatever he says. Garcia & 2Point0 regroups while Collision goes picture in picture.

Garcia whips Kyle into railing, 2Point0 talk smack on STP, but then Kyle fires forearms on Garcia! Garcia knees low, puts Kyle in, then he stays between Kyle and The Undisputed corner. Garcia ROCKS Kyle, whips him to ropes, then ELBOWS Kyle down! Garcia tags in Menard and they mug Kyle. Menard fires up the fans, then fires hands on Kyle.

Parker stomps Kyle, then stands him up for a scoop and SLAM! Tag to Garcia, and Garcia drags Kyle up while Collision goes to break.

Homecoming returns and Menard rains down fists on Kyle in the corner! The fans count along and he goes all the way to TEN! Tag to Garcia, and he rains down fists! The fans count along, and Garcia goes to nine, fires up, and hits TEN! We can only assume Parker hit ten during the break, so Kyle just took anywhere from 20 to 30 shots! Tag back to Menard, he brings Kyle out to whip to a corner, then Menard tags Parker. Parker whips Menard so Menard can whip Parker, forearm SMASH! Feed tot he drop toehold, then BOOYAH ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives but Parker tags Menard back in.

2Point0 double whip, but Kyle slips around to send Menard into Parker! Kyle reaches out for his corner but 2Point0 yank him back! Kyle dodges to send Parker into Menard now! But again they keep Kyle from his corner! TRIPLE LARIATS take them all down! Hot tags to Garcia and Cole! Garcia and Cole fire forearm after forearm, then Cole gets the edge. Cole winds up, but Garcia blocks the boot! Garcia CHOPS Cole, runs, but into a BOOT! Cole runs, but Garcia reels him in, SAIDO! Garcia roars, runs, but into the 52 Fake Out! Cole runs but Garcia LARIATS! The fans fire up as Garcia hurries to bring Cole up, but Cole suplexes, GHOSTBUSTER!

Both Cole and Garcia are down, they crawl, hot tags to Roddy and Parker! Roddy CALF KICKS Parker, then fires off CHOP after CHOP! Roddy sees Menard running up, and gives him a half nelson BACKBREAKER! Parker runs up, but Roddy catches him, GUTBUSTER DROP! Garcia runs up, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER!

Garcia is back up, but Cole SUPERKICKS him back down! Roddy shouts to Kyle, and Cole joins in saying, “Sweep the leg!” Roddy runs, he and Kyle give Parker TOTAL ANNIHILATION! Cover, Undisputed Kingdom wins!

Winners: The Undisputed Kingdom, by pinfall

2Point0 was looking good even for being away for so long, but STP isn’t impressed with Cole and crew. Cole, Kyle & Roddy still show Garcia & 2Point0 respect with handshakes and the fans cheer. But will we see Garcia put up his TNT Championship against each and every man who wants it?

Max Caster speaks.

“Last week, my ‘tag team partner’ turned his back on me. My mentor turned his back on me, too. In front of the whole world. And… Something like that could ruin any person’s life. But the response has been really overwhelming, and it made me realize I’m not just any person. And I’m not just the Best Wrestler Alive; I’m a survivor, too. So, I’m happy to announce right now my open challenge series. Who can survive The Best Wrestler Alive? I wanna see how many people here in AEW are just like me. I wanna see where the survivors are. Because all you guys are good, this is where the best wrestle, but you can’t be better than the Best Wrestler Alive.”

Platinum Max always has a way of sticking his foot in his mouth, but is his ego just gonna get his teeth kicked down his throat?
