NXT Cruiserweight Championship: Jordan Devlin VS Amir Jordan!
The Irish Ace wants to make it clear: HE is the one true champion of this division, no matter what NXT, WWE or Santos Escobar says! But will it stay that way when the Bhangra Badboy finally takes his shot?

NXT UK Media catches up with Rampage Brown in the UK Performance Center.
He has his first win, but what’s next for him here? Well he’s ready for anything this brand has to offer. Rampage hears Saxon Huxley coming. Huxley says, “Nice to see you, Rampage Brown.” Huxley keeps saying Rampage’s name as he heads off, and Rampage finishes his sentence, “no matter how crazy.” Rampage is ready to run wild, but is he going to run into an even wilder road block first?
NXT UK hears from Noam Dar.
“Is it the best being the center of the universe? Obviously. It’s bloody brilliant being me!” And do you know what’s even better? Dar is getting his own talk show! Why should you watch #SupernovaSessions? First reason: Dar. Second reason: Dar does whatever he wants. And he will interview whoever he likes, as the center of the WWE Universe. Supernova Sessions, coming soon.
Eddie Dennis and The Hunt arrive.
NXT UK Media asks about what happened with Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster, but Dennis prefers not to comment. But then South Wales Subculture pounces on Primate and Wild Boar!

Will The Hunt become the hunted before the year is over?
Jinny VS Isla Dawn!
The Fierce Fashionista interfered in the Falls Count Anywhere NXT UK Women’s Championship match last week, and that is why Kay Lee Ray still reigns. But will the White Witch curse the Spoiled Princess for what she’s done?

Both women are down but the BT Studio fans fire up!
Dawn climbs the corner, Jinny stands and gets under the leap! Dawn rolls through, blocks a kick but not the mule kick! Jinny stands on Dawn’s leg to grab the other for a standing toehold and STOMP! STF! Dawn taps, Jinny wins!
Winner: Jinny, by submission
The new mean(er) streak in Jinny was no lie! Jinny downs Isla Dawn, will the Spoiled Princess rise up to become NXT UK’s queen? Jinny also calls out Piper Niven, “I hope you enjoyed watching that from the hospital, sweetheart.” Will Piper the Viper make sure to respond in kind soon enough?
NXT UK Media interviews Sid Scala.
As we approach the finals of the Heritage Cup, how does Scala feel? He and Johnny Saint are “over the moon.” But then Alexander Wolfe knocks on the door and barges in. Joe Coffey challenged him to a match and Wolfe will give Coffey that. On one condition: The Gallus boys are banned from ringside. Scala accepts those conditions. But to keep it fair, the rest of Imperium is banned from ringside, too. Wolfe stares intensely at Scala, but accepts the terms. Who will win between Iron King and Hatchet Man when things are truly 1v1?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
Wolfe VS Coffey isn’t the only grudge match going down! After the confrontation just earlier tonight, The Hunt and South Wales Subculture will finally have it out in the ring! Will Primate and Wild Boar face the consequences when they finally face the friends they betrayed?
NXT UK Heritage Cup Finals: A-Kid VS Trent Seven!
The Spanish Ace trumped the Modfather and the Scottish Supernova. The Artful Dodger overcame the Chancer and the Bomber. But now, a battle of generations begins! Will A-Kid be the kid to raise the cup? Or will Seven win the big one he so desperately needs to win?

Seven sits up slowly but the round ends!
A-Kid: 1; Seven: 0
AK and Seven won’t let go of each other’s wrists but the ref tells them to break. They finally do, but that means they’ve wasted part of their precious 20 second rest time! They use whatever time is left to reset, and we go to round five!

Seven grits his teeth in frustration as he sits up. A-Kid is in a daze as Seven stalks up behind him. Seven drags AK up by an arm, and has a half straitjacket! Ripcord to SEVEN STAR LARIAT!!! But Seven says that’s not enough!? Seven drags him back up, AK flounders but Seven torture racks! BIRMING- NO! AK lands and SUPERKICKS!! Seven is against ropes, DYNAMIC DROPKICK hits again!!

Winner: A-Kid, by submission (inaugural winner of the Heritage Cup)
Despite how much Seven’s spirit wanted it, his body wouldn’t let him do it! And now, El Nino Anonimo is the history maker! Sid Scala brings the cup to the ring, and that makes the moment even more real. Seven hobbles over and takes the cup from Scala, so that he can be the one to give it to A-Kid! There is still so much respect between Seven and A-Kid, and that is also what this trophy is about! A-Kid raises the cup as the streamers fly! Is this just the beginning of the legend that is the Spanish Ace?
My Thoughts:
What a great episode! For one, we got a really good but fairly fast NXT Cruiserweight Championship match. Devlin of course retains but Amir looked strong as singles wrestler there. Between NXT, NXT UK and 205 Live, I am hoping we get a Triple Threat of Escobar, Devlin and current contender Curt Stallion, just so everything is settled at once. Whoever wins is the one true champion of the Cruiserweights. Of course, the way to get to it is by having Escobar and Devlin argue over who is facing Stallion as the challenger, and then Stallion says he’ll face them both, and it is approved by both William Regal and Johnny Saint.
Jinny VS Dawn was a good middle match, but naturally Jinny wins so that she goes strong into a feud with Piper. I was kind of hoping there would be another Triple Threat situation here, since Jinny and KLR weren’t exactly getting along until Piper gave Jinny that Michinoku Driver to a chair. But maybe KLR returns the favor and helps Jinny beat Piper, and then those two face off for the title as a way for KLR to “thank” Jinny for the Falls Count Anywhere match.
We got a lot of great set-up for next week, too, with the true 1v1 of Coffey and Wolfe that will be a slugfest, and then the even bigger battle of The Hunt VS SWSC. Those are both going to be big for contender races, I can feel it. Which probably means Coffey wins, and the Hunt has Dennis help them screw over SWSC. Gallus are all Faces, so a Heel tag team is going to challenge them first. Walter is Heel and he could have a rematch with Coffey just to bide time while someone else is built up *cough* Rampage */cough*.
The Heritage Cup finals was BRILLIANT! That is exactly how the finals of a British Rounds tournament should go. Not just all six rounds but an overtime, and y’know what, for Seven’s story being so strong about needing to win, it obviously means so much for A-Kid to win. If anything, that was the whole point of Seven being in this match. He and A-Kid were incredible together, he made A-Kid look like a million bucks, and obviously put him over to be a historic first holder of the cup. I cannot wait to see who will challenge for this unique prize and how this first reign of sorts goes.
My Score: 8.5/10

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

- 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.
.@milanmiracle and @AriannaGraceWWE make history as the first father/daughter tag team in TNA!

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.

Taiji escapes but Yoh vows to end this! The fans are thunderous as Yoh hauls Taiji up! DIRECT DRIVE!!! Cover, YOH WINS!!!
Winner: Yoh, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Taiji earns 0)
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
