Nina Samuels VS Xia Brookside!

The Leading Lady just can’t seem to leave this second generation superstar alone! But in this newest sequel of their rivalry series, will Nina still have the spotlight? Or will she learn to #FlyWithBrookside?

The bell rings and Nina has her attendant take her coat. Nina says Xia should be doing all of that, and that just upsets Xia! Xia throws Nina down and fires off hands! Nina pushes her away, Xia comes back to headlock but Nina blocks the takeover. Nina powers Xia to a corner, runs back in but the boot misses! Xia trips the other leg, then waistlocks Nina.

Winner: Nina Samuels, by pinfall

And scene! The Leading Lady is still on top, though with some help from her own luggage. Will Samuels be looking to add the NXT UK Women’s Championship to her collection in the near future?

NXT UK Media checks in with Sid Scala.

We know Pretty Deadly are the new #1 contenders to the NXT UK Tag Team Championships, but when will we see that match? Sid says it is in the works, they’ll talk with Gallus on it. Jordan Devlin arrives and asks if Sid is planning to do his job this week. Devlin keeps texting Sid but Sid doesn’t answer him. Devlin still has no idea who he is dealing with, other than it’s NOT Trent Seven because Seven’s probably sweating in a sauna right now. So who is his opponent? Sid and Johnny Saint are still searching-

Oh good, very professional. But make sure it’s better than the last few because they’ve barely left a scratch. Devlin leaves, Sid excuses himself, and heads off. Will the Irish Ace’s opponent be worthy of his time tonight?

NXT UK Media catches up with Jack Starz.

How is he feeling after what he’s been through lately? He actually feels great, on a roll even. Sid comes in and wishes to talk with Starz. Sid mentions the Cruiserweight Championship, and the Open Challenge. The door closes so it’s hard to hear what’s being said. Is Starz going to be Devlin’s challenger? Or is the search still going?

Joseph Conners w/ Jinny VS Josh Morrell!

The Righteous Killer has the Spoiled Princess by his side, and looks to prove he is worthy! Will #TurboTerry be a stepping stone for Conners towards a title?

The bell rings and Conners circles with Morrell. They tie up, Conners shoves Morrell away, and the two reset. They tie up again, Conners gets around, spins Morrell to a cravat then snapmares him. Morrell whips Conners away, goes for a leg, but Conners steps over to roll Morrell up! TWO, and the two reset. Conners and Morrell circle, tie up, and Conners waistlocks to a nelson then spin. Conners has the hammerlock, then the headlock, then a wrench. Conners reels Morrell in for a facelock and cranks on the hold, but Morrell wrenches out! Morrell wrings the arm, Conners gets to his feet but Morrell dropkicks him out!

Conners grows frustrated but Jinny helps him stay calm. “That little boy is nothing, so make sure he realizes he’s nothing.” Conners goes back to the ring, circles with Morrell, and they tie up. Conners waistlocks, arm-drags and clamps onto the wrist. Morrell endures, moves around, rolls and handsprings but Conners throws him by his hair! Conners runs Morrell to a corner for a BASEMENT BUCKLE BULLDOG! Conners brings Morrell up to bump off more buckles then CLUB him on the back! Conners throws hands, reels Morrell in and CLOBBERS him! Cover, TWO! Morrell lives but Conners keeps cool.

Morrell endures, fights up, and throws body shots! Conners shoves, drops then RAMS into Morrell with a low headbutt! Morrell gasps and sputters, Conners drags him up to throw haymakers. Conners is on Morrell at the ropes, CLUBS him then whips him, but Morrell sunset flips!

Conners slips out, Morrell kips up and goes Matrix to rally with forearms and a calf kick! ROLLING SENTON! Morrell whips, Conners reverses, but Morrell goes up and over with a tornillo! Morrell gets Conners with a hip toss! Cover, TWO! Morrell hurries to a corner and climbs up! Conners runs over, gets under the 450, and pops Morrell up, but Morrell RANA! Cover, TWO! Conners dodges, runs, rolls and reels Morrell in for a DDT! Jinny wants Conners to finish this, and Conners reels Morrell in with the STRAITJACKET NECKBREAKER! Cover, Conners wins!

Winner: Joseph Conners, by pinfall

Jinny is proud of Joseph after that win. Will Conners be seen as worthy of a championship opportunity?

Sha Samuels speaks.

“OH YEAH~!” The East End Butcher is in NXT UK, from a family of butchers! And being a butcher is cold-blooded work! It is hard work! And that is exactly what he’s been about for 18 long years in the ring! Nightclubs, working men’s clubs, and he’s beaten people up in ’em all! He’s finally on the big stage, and there are a lot of world class wrestlers. Samuels doesn’t want it to be easy, he took the Iron King to his limit. Samuels lost, but Coffey knows who he was in a fight with! Samuels is a FIGHTER! The hard work starts now!

Xia Brookside finds Sid Scala backstage.

Sid is busy but she tells him to listen now! Did he see that match? She wants a rematch with Nina! And it doesn’t matter when, just get it sorted! Will yet another sequel come to our screens sooner than expected?

Ilja Dragunov VS Tyson T-Bone!

The Moscow Madman decided to start over, but it seems something dark is lurking within. Starz learned that when he chopped a little too much like Walter. Will the King of Travelers be sure not to do something that might set Dragunov off?

The bell rings and Dragunov rushes in! T-Bone dodges the boot to DECK Dragunov then stomp away on him! T-Bone drags Dragunov up, headbutts and whips to hit a body shot! T-Bone keeps hitting Dragunov but Dragunov blocks the knee! Dragunov is after the leg but T-Bone clubs away on his back! T-Bone scoops but Dragunov blocks! Dragunov hooks a leg, goes after an arm, then wrenches through to BACK HAND! T-Bone wobbles and Dragunov is on him with a facelock! Dragunov grinds and rolls T-Bone, then rolls him again as he is after the double wristlock! But wait, Sam Gradwell walks out to talk trash on Dragunov’s “temper temper.”

T-Bone lifts Dragunov up but Dragunov sunset flips to shift to a head-and-arm clutch! T-Bone endures, Gradwell heckles Dragunov more, but T-Bone gets up to elbow Dragunov. Dragunov hooks the leg again but T-Bone scoops him to SLAM him! T-Bone runs to drop a knee! T-Bone rams knees into Dragunov’s back, Gradwell has a laugh, but Dragunov is after the arm! T-Bone blocks the judo throw so Dragunov shifts to get under a leg and dump T-Bone on his head! Dragunov wants the legs but T-Bone boots him away! Dragunov comes back to waistlock but T-Bone blocks and whips. Dragunov holds ropes, waistlocks again, but T-Bone fights the suplex!

T-Bone bucks Dragunov away and runs him over! Things speed up, Dragunov ROCKS T-Bone with a flying forearm! Gradwell says Dragunov has to be careful not to do what he did to Starz. Dragunov goes to lift but T-Bone throws elbows to get free. T-Bone hits an EXPLODER! Dragunov staggers up, T-Bone scoops again and brings Dragunov around for a FALL AWAY SLAM! T-Bone gets up and drags Dragunov up by his hears to throw a knee. Cover, TWO! Gradwell still taunts Dragunov while T-Bone goes for a full nelson. Dragunov pries the hands, T-Bone CLUBS him in the back! Dragunov counters the half nelson to an arm-drag!

T-Bone BOOTS back, but Dragunov comes back for a leg. T-Bone whips him away. Dragunov dodges and ENZIGURIS! Dragunov fires up and aims at T-Bone! Dragunov runs in, leaps, but T-Bone catches him for a BIG back suplex! Gradwell says Dragunov can do better than that! Dragunov and T-Bone get up, Dragunov goes Matrix! ANOTHER ENZIGURI! T-Bone wobbles, Dragunov fires up and waistlocks, but T-Bone elbows back! Dragunov shifts to a Gotch hold but T-Bone elbows free! HALF ‘N’ HALF! Dragunov flops all the way out of the ring! Gradwell says that’s unfortunate.

The ref tells Gradwell to stay back, T-Bone comes up and CHOPS Dragunov on the back! That was a mistake!! Dragunov goes into that state and he fires off forearms with T-Bone! Dragunov DECKS T-Bone, puts him in the ring and follows. Gradwell eggs Dragunov on as he elbows and stomps away on T-Bone! T-Bone shoves Dragunov away, but Dragunov TACKLES him! Rings of Saturn and endless elbows!! T-Bone is OUT, the ref calls it!

Winner: Ilja Dragunov, by referee stoppage

Dragunov lets T-Bone go and Gradwell says he was throwing a tantrum. Gradwell says Dragunov is letting his family down as a grown man. Does Dragunov need a cuddle? Dragunov BOOTS Gradwell! Dragunov dares Gradwell to shut up or man up! Gradwell says the big baby needs to be put in a time-out! Referees and officials rush over but Dragunov is ready to turn his rage on them! Dragunov storms off, will he be going after the Thunderstorm soon enough?

The NXT UK roster reacts to Meiko Satomura’s arrival.

Ashton Smith says “Every now and again, you come across a legend in professional wrestling. And for us in NXT UK, to sign Meiko Satomura, it brings the whole brand up to another level.” Dave Mastiff says she is a standard bearer in all of pro-wrestling. Gallus is excited to see someone they’ve followed for years. Jinny says Satomura is one of the best in the world, and has felt what she can do firsthand. This takes the Women’s Division and the brand to another level. The Final Boss arrives next week!

Sid Scala talks with Amir Jordan backstage.

Naturally, this is about the Cruiserweight Championship. The Bhangra Badboy had his shot but it doesn’t seem like he’s ready for another so soon. Sid thanks Amir Jordan for his time, and hurries to make a call.

Joe Coffey VS Danny Jones!

The Iron King has been going strong since his return to action, and looks to only get stronger. Will the newest prospect in NXT UK learn why this is Gallus’ Kingdom?

The bell rings and Coffey circles with Jones. They tie up, Coffey puts Jones on the ropes then lets off. They tie up with knuckle locks, go around, and Coffey has Jones on the ropes again. The ref calls for the break but Jones CHOPS Coffey! So Coffey fires off heavy hands! Coffey whips Jones to then go the other way, and POUNCES him! Coffey shoves Jones again, reels him in and hits a sidewalk slam! Coffey drags Jones up to throw body shots and heavy hands again at the ropes. The ref counts, Coffey DECKS Jones then tells the ref to ask if the kid wants to quit. “This is why it’s always Gallus Boys on top!” Coffey talks some smack then he SLAPS Jones down!

Jones gets mad and Coffey eggs him on! Jones ducks the punch to fire off forearms and EuroUppers! Coffey shoves, boots but Jones blocks to KNEE TRIGGER! Jones runs but into an OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Coffey drags Jones up, shows him the scar Walter gave him, and reels him in. But Jones switches to a backslide! Coffey fights that off, Jones gets around to hammerlock, sleeper hold and ripcord ENZIGURI! Coffey wobbles and Jones hops on as a sleeper hold backpack! Coffey powers to buckles but Jones holds on! Coffey throws Jones off hard, takes aim from the corner, and gives Jones the GLASGOW SENDOFF! Coffey keeps moving, ALL THE BEST FOR THE BELLS! Cover, Coffey wins!

Winner: Joe Coffey, by pinfall

The Iron King actually liked the fire from the new kid, but Coffey still wins out! Coffey gets a mic to say, “Yeah, so, last week, I crossed paths with Rampage Brown.” Coffey’s brain got moving, the cogs turning, and now he tells Rampage, “If you want to make a name for yourself on this brand, in NXT UK, then you have to hit someone so hard, SO HARD, that they don’t want to get back up again.” And here, in NXT UK, Coffey is the last man standing, because this is his- Wait, here comes Rampage Brown! Rampage has a mic of his own, and he says, “All you had to do was ask.” Rampage goes to the ring and says they can go any time, any where. Coffey is all for that! Will two of the heaviest hitters in the UK soon throw down in NXT UK?

NXT UK looks at the coming Tag Team Championship showdown.

“Yes, boy~!” Pretty Deadly won the Fatal 4 Way Elimination match, but they’re happy to admit that Gallus carried the NXT UK Tag Division and elevated it. But now, they’re stuck. Only they can bring the brand to the next level.
Gallus says they’ve been on top for a long time and it ain’t changing any time soon. This is the best they’ve been in a long time. This has been Gallus’ Kingdom since day one! If they saw Pretty Deadly on the street, giving it all they’ve got, it only ends one way: Pretty Deadly with broken jaws and nothing pretty about them left.

But Pretty Deadly says they’re in Wolfie’s head. Mark Coffey says they’ll lose pretty, and win ugly. That’s why Gallus Boys are on top! Pretty Deadly says when Gallus runs on anger, they make mistakes. Pretty Deadly capitalizes on mistakes. Then they will be P D O T, Pretty Deadly On Top.

BREAKING NEWS for next week’s NXT UK!

To finally settle the animosity between The Hunt and South Wales Subculture, it will be a Tag Team STREET FIGHT! Will Eddie Dennis help Primate and Wild Boar maul Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster? Or will SWSC finally shut Dennis up and shut his animals down?

NXT Cruiserweight Championship Open Challenge: Jordan Devlin VS ???

The Irish Ace wants competition to prove that not only is he the REAL Cruiserweight Champion, but that he is the best wrestler under 205, with the most wins under his belt possible! Devlin gets a mic to say that “Skid Salad” has been running around trying to find a challenger for the “One Real NXT Cruiserweight Champion!” But if he’s learning anything working around here, it’s that if you want something done right, you’ve got to do it yourself! So any man under 205 that wants to test himself, get to the ring right now!

Well this isn’t a Cruiserweight! This is the Proper British Heavyweight, Dave Mastiff! Devlin says Mastiff might’ve missed a memo. There are weight restrictions here! Mastiff isn’t even 305 Live, so what’s he doing here? Mastiff gets a mic to tell “Captain Obvious” he did well. But Mastiff knows, just like everyone else, Devlin is just keeping the belt warm for Trent Seven. And the only thing Mastiff is after is kicking Devlin’s head in! Mastiff shoves Devlin over, but what is Devlin’s response? Devlin gets up, and this isn’t for the title anymore! Will the Irish Ace keep from being crushed by the Bomber?

Winner: Jordan Devlin, by pinfall

This wasn’t for a title, but it was still a huge main event! And it was quite literally a massive victory for the Irish Ace! Will the challenges only get bigger as Devlin’s reign continues?

My Thoughts:

A really good NXT UK, but what a twist on the main event! I was expecting the surprise to maybe be Tyler Bate since he’s under 205 and is a friend of Trent Seven’s, but Mastiff was a huge surprise, literally! No title match but a great main event and that’s not just kayfabe. Devlin wins to stay even stronger in his reign than before. I was hoping we’d get some Seven workout montages but maybe next week. Maybe there will be another of these Open Challenges before Seven returns. I’m still hoping we get Devlin VS Dar in some way, that hasn’t been explored enough to me. Sha Samuels had a good promo today and he will be on the next Supernova Sessions, so that should be really good, too.

We got a good video package for Gallus VS Pretty Deadly, and one for the Street Fight grudge match of The Hunt VS South Wales Subculture. Both of those matches will be very good, and both could go either way. Coffey getting a win in the squash match was good, and him mentioning the words “last man standing” and about hitting the opponent so hard, they won’t want to stand up, we’re totally getting Coffey VS Rampage in a Last Man Standing match, and that is going to be great stuff. Conners naturally wins his first match back, and Jinny is doing well as his manager. Conners should get to be A-Kid’s next Heritage Cup feud, as Conners got KO’d in the tournament and would want redemption.

Nina VS Xia happening because of luggage weaponry was a unique way to do the usual Heel cheating tactics. I almost want their blow-off to be the first-ever Luggage Match, where the only weapons allowed are the trunks and suitcases. Xia’s aggression in dealing with Sid definitely pushes that their next rematch should be some kind of No Disqualifications match, at least. And then, I think the best story right now is Dragunov’s rage, triggered by the Walter style chop to the back. I knew T-Bone would do that at some point, and of course Dragunov beats the snot out of him for it. Gradwell talking trash was a great addition to the match, and I can’t wait to see his match with Dragunov.

My Score: 8.4/10

The fans fire up but Bron fights free! Bron throws a haymaker, but Sheamus DECKS Bron for it! Sheamus goes out, uses the steps to leap, INTO A SPEAR!! Both men fall in a heap and the fans go nuts! Bron grins while SNME goes to break.

SNME returns again and Bron fires off in the corner. Sheamus fires back and they go back and forth. Bron KNEES low, then he digs Sheamus into the corner. Bron ROCKS Sheamus, then fireman’s carries.

The Fella falls short, only because Bron’s foot found the ropes! Will Sheamus ever get his hands on this title? Will anyone ever take this title off of Bron?

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!

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 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 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!

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?
