The Prince feels refreshed with his time away, but what will he do next now that he’s back?
Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory walk and talk backstage.
Johnny says William Regal has been ducking him all week and doesn’t want to meet with him. But in that case, they’ll just go to his office! And the door’s already open! But that’s because Scarlett Bordeaux is meeting with Regal. Johnny and Theory interrupt because the number one champion has some very important business to discuss. Then later! Okay, fine, when Regal has time! Austin, let’s go. “Those are huge! Are they real? I mean, yeah, they gotta be real.” Scarlett’s nails are amazing! Austin, stop! Don’t touch her! You can’t just touch people! Johnny drags Theory away and Scarlett contains her fury. Will Karrion Kross have something to say about Theory staring at her… nails?

Backstage interview with Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter.
Last time we saw KC Squared, they were dealing with Tian Sha, and we’ve all seen that scary movie before: “When the ghost tells you to get out of the house, you get the hell out of the house.” Kayden doesn’t care if Xia Li is turned into a dragon and exile her, or banish Boa, poof! Kayden doesn’t want to see those stupid faces, hear that stupid name, not their concern. But Kacy says what is their concern is the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships. They’ll be watching the Street Fight very closely. Doesn’t matter if it’s Ember & Shotzi, Candice & Indi, either way, KC Squared want next.
Franky Monet walks over and says these two are so cute! And just between them, they’re her favorites. They’re adorable with their fighting spirits and wanting the tag titles. But just so they know, it’ll take them a lot longer to get the titles than they think. But Franky and Preston the Pomeranian believe in them. Kayden wants to tear into Franky but Kacy has her stand down. Will KC Squared make Monet put her money where her mouth is?
Ever-Rise cheers Grimes on backstage.
Matt Marthel & Chase Parker are fired up for Grimes’ huge win! Grimes says he likes their Saturday social media show and all, but he really only has room for three in his car: “Me, myself, and CAMERON GRIMES!” Excuse him while he goes to~ the~… VIP room! Wait, how is that three? “For a money guy, he’s not very good at math.”
Tommaso Ciampa & Timothy Thatcher VS Grizzled Young Veterans!
The Psycho Killer and Professor of Pain are certainly grizzled veterans of the ring, and they want to show Zack Gibson & James Drake that there’s more to being a locker room leader than saying you are one.
NXT returns and GYV are already in the ring, and with mics in hand. James Drake tells Ciampa & Thatcher, “Who on Earth told you that it was a good idea to encourage these swamp creatures to take their shoes off?” GYV are a gift to NXT! Gibson says that the fans need to trust him when he says, “Nobody needs to see your dirty web toes! So stick your crocs back on, sit down and zip it!” Or else, these two will be on the next plane OUT of this dump of a country! You should celebrate the Grizzled Young Veterans, SSSOON– “NO ONE WILL SURVIVE!” Ciampa & Thatcher make their entrance, and it is time to see which duo of veterans is the most grizzled!
The teams sort out, Ciampa starts with Drake and fans are on Ciampa’s side. They tie up, go around, and Drake puts Ciampa in a corner. The ref counts, Drake lets off and Ciampa headlocks back! Drake powers out, Ciampa runs him over! Cover, ONE! Ciampa clamps onto Drake’s head, grinds him down with a chinlock, then shifts to a headscissor. Drake endures, Ciampa CLUBS him in the chest, but Drake slips out. Ciampa wrenches and CHOPS Drake, covers again, ONE! Ciampa drag Drake up and over, tags in Thatcher, and they mug Drake. Thatcher wrenches and grinds Drake’s arm, chinbars, but Drake endures. Thatcher hooks a leg but Drake shakes free to roll and get away!
Gibson tags in, Liverpool’s Number One circles with Thatcher and they tie up. They’re in a deadlock, Gibson gets a waistlock but Thatcher wrenches the arm! Thatcher wants the double wristlock but Gibson powers out, only for Thatcher to run him over! Cover, ONE! Thatcher facelocks, hooks an arm and drags Gibson down, but Gibson works to keep his shoulders up. Thatcher puts the pressure on Gibson’s arm, stands up to twist the wrist, but Gibson endures. Thatcher KNEES Gibson in the back, then KNEES him again! Gibson trips Thatcher and has a toehold, then throws forearms. Gibson twists the ankle, Thatcher endures and fights up to get a sleeper! Gibson fades!
Drake runs in to BOOT Thatcher, but Thatcher holds on! Ciampa BOOTS Drake and puts him in a chinlock! Both men CLUB away on the GYV! The ref counts, Ciampa & Thatcher let up but the fans are fired up as NXT goes to break!

The two get up and collide head to head! Gibson grabs a leg to keep Thatcher down, and tags in Drake! Drake drags Thatcher but Thatcher boots him away! Hot tag to Ciampa!

Thatcher DECKS Drake, gets a leg, but Drake kicks until he kicks Thatcher away! Drake crawls but Thatcher reels him into a waistlock! Drake elbows free, hot tag to Gibson! But Thatcher clinches Gibson for a Belly2Belly! Cover, Drake breaks it! Ciampa and Drake fire off forearms back and forth, Gibson and Thatcher give EuroUppers!

Fans fire up and Gibson can’t believe Thatcher is still in this! “This is Awesome!” as Ciampa trips Drake! Thatcher rolls Gibson up, TWO! The EuroUppers fly, the ref is busy keeping Ciampa out! Thatcher has one of Wade Barrett’s shoes?! Thatcher CLOBBERS Gibson with it!! Thatcher gets the arm for the FUJIWARA!! Gibson taps, Ciampa & Thatcher win!!
Winners: Tommaso Ciampa & Timothy Thatcher, by submission
Bad news for the Grizzled Young Veterans, because Barrett’s very fancy loafer led to their defeat! If you hate Gibson, shoes off! But will Ciampa & Thatcher make sure to add belts to the ensemble?
Johnny and Theory head back to Regal’s office.
Johnny has the camera follow them because we’ll all want to see this. Theory is gonna bust the door down! Do it, Theory! Theory winds up, and knocks. But Regal is outside his office and walks over. Gargano complains that the North American title match with Bronson Reed shouldn’t even happen. It is only because of Dexter Lumis that Theory lost. Therefore, no title match! Not fair, just, we good?” Regal thinks and no, Gargano will still defend the title against Reed. And by the way, Theory, “your new best friend Scarlett” got you a match with KARRION KROSS for next week! Uh oh. Is time about to run out on The Way? Gargano says he’ll think of something.
NXT Media catches up with Swerve and crew.
What did we just see out there against Ruff? Swerve says he told us he was going to beat Ruff tonight, and that’s what he did. With that, Swerve, Adonis, Briana and #TopDolla AJF head out. What will these four have in store for NXT next?
Karrion Kross & Scarlett Bordeaux head to the ring!
The NXT Champion and his harbinger of doom already have Austin Theory running scared for next week, but they’re here for something more important. Kross is handed the mic to say, “Three weeks ago, I came out here and I made things crystal clear. All you had to do was step right up and roll the dice. And instead, I was met with people saying they weren’t afraid of me. Well guess what? I ain’t afraid of you, either! Now that we’ve established that, this occasion begs the question: what are we waiting for?! Let’s give these people what they want! Let’s give them a fight!”
Kross says that’s how this works! He is champion, he doesn’t need to go back there and prove anyone wrong. They have to get in the ring and prove themselves right! But he won’t just wait for someone to stab him in the back. Next week, Austin Theory will be driven on his head! Kross will leave Theory face-down and unconscious, so that everyone else- But wait! Kyle O’Reilly is stepping up! #CoolKyle struts down to the ring, Scarlett holds onto the belt and Kyle tips his hat to her before getting a mic. “I get it, Kross. I get it. I get why everyone… Well, why you think everyone should be afraid: sheer dominance.”
Kyle is sensing hostility, though, so he’ll make this clear. Kyle puts his hat and sunglasses aside because he’s here to tell Kross to his face, that he isn’t afraid of Kross, and with all due respect, Kross IS the NXT Champion, so this is the match Kyle wants! “Something tells me this is the match you want, too. So let’s give the NXT Universe-” Pete Dunne interrupts! The Bruiserweight has a mic, of course, and he says, “Are you two having a laugh? I don’t care who wants to see this match, and I don’t care about the NEW Kyle O’Reilly. And trust me, mate, I don’t care that you stand there as NXT Champion.”
The truth is, Dunne is the baddest man in NXT today, and if either of these two “cover boys” tries to prove him wrong, he- Finn Balor interrupts! Balor tells them, “Pete Dunne? Been there, done that. Kyle O’Reilly? Been there, done that. Twice! Kross? Once you’re done with Theory,” and then Balor just punches Kross! Kross DECKS Balor in return, Dunne steps back but Kyle steps up. But then Dunne knocks Kross into Kyle! The Bruiserweight throws hands, but Kross throws the Bruiserweight! Balor is back up and back after Kross! Kross knees Balor but Kyle KICKS Kross! Kross BOOTS Kyle, knees him in a corner, but Balor SHOTGUNS Kross into Kyle!
Balor gets Kross with body shots, Kross powers Balor all the way to the other corner! Security rushes in but they all get CLOBBERED! Kross CLOBBERS Balor! Balor tries to get back in but Kross DECKS him again! Another security guard gets in Kross’ way, only to get a DOOMSDAY SAIDO! Kross grins as he stands tall with the title, but he clearly has contenders closing in on all sides. And that includes Theory and Gargano jumping him from behind! Kross throws Theory away, choke grips Gargano and shoves him down! Theory forearms Kross but runs into an EXPLODER! Gargano SUPERKICKS Kross, but Kross stays on his feet! Theory SUPERKICKS and Kross kneels!
The Way gives Kross DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Kross staggers, Gargano uses his own title to CLOBBER Kross! Scarlett is furious as Gargano says if you mess with Theory, you mess with Johnny Freakin’ Wrestling! Are things about to get way wilder in NXT than ever before?
NXT Media catches up with Gargano and Theory as they’re leaving!
Why did they attack Karrion Kross? Why are they getting out of here when Candice & Indi still have their Street Fight for the NXT Women’s Tag titles? Gargano says this is Candice’s & Indi’s night, they don’t need him and Theory. These two are going to prepare the celebration for them. Okay, night! Gargano and Theory drive off, but will there be anything to celebrate after tonight?
Sarray VS Zayda Ramier!
The Warrior of the Sun came in with a lot of fanfare, and rightfully so. But it was the other new superstar in the NXT Women’s Division that shocked the world by defeating Toni Storm in her debut! Will Sarray have to be careful her rise isn’t overshadowed tonight?
The bell rings, Zayda and Sarray shake hands to show there is respect, and then they tie up. Zayda headlocks, hits a takeover, but Sarray headscissors. Zayda kips free, sweeps the legs and covers, ONE! Sarray sweeps the legs to cover, ONE! Sarray kicks Zayda then headlocks. Zayda powers her way out to get a headlock, but Sarray throws body shots. Sarray shoves Zayda to ropes then dropkicks her right down! Fans fire up but Zayda is dazed. Sarray waits as Zayda gets to a corner. Zayda is alright, so Sarray rushes in, only for Zayda to put her in the corner for EuroUppers! Zayda brings Sarray out but Sarray kicks low and runs. Zayda hurdles, drops and trips Sarray to an STF!
Sarray endures as Zayda grinds the crossface! Sarray crawls, fans rally, and Sarray gets a ropebreak! Zayda lets off fast but walks into kicks from Sarray! Sarray rolls Zayda, TWO! Zayda runs into a lift and SPINEBUSTER! Sarray gets a leg now, ties it up with the other, and rallies fans as she puts on the MUTA LOCK! Zayda endures as Sarray bridges to bend her back, and now Zayda gets a ropebreak! Sarray lets off fast and fans rally up. Sarray runs and basement dropkicks Zayda against ropes! Zayda is rocked, Sarray gets her up, PERFECT PLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Sarray isn’t deterred, she just goes up top! BIG missile dropkick!
Sarray fires up and watches Zayda get up. Zayda forearms but Sarray gives it back! Zayda fires off more, whips Sarray to ropes, but Sarray dropkicks her down again! Sarray stomps Zayda to ropes, runs side to side again, but Zayda avoids the dropkick! Zayda gets a cover, TWO!! Sarray survives but Zayda gets her back up to RAM into a corner! Zayda runs corner to corner to EuroUpper! Then she runs again, SLINGBLADE! Cover, TWO! Zayda is seething but fans are fired up! Zayda gets Sarray up. Sarray SOBATS then GERMAN SUPLEXES! Sarray isn’t done there, she gets Zayda back up for a URENAGE SUPLEX! Cover, Sarray wins!
Winner: Sarray, by pinfall
A valiant effort from Zayda but the Warrior of the Sun shines through! Will we be seeing more of these two in the new age of NXT?
Imperium speaks with Walter via video chat.
The Ring General tells his soldiers, in German, that he is disappointed in them. He didn’t think there’d be such incompetence without him around. Marcel Barthel, Fabian Aichner and Alexander Wolfe understand, but Wolfe is the one who leaves. Is there a crack forming in the foundation of this dominant faction?
The Diamond Mine is coming.
They dominate because pressure is pleasure, and pressure makes diamonds. Who will be crushed by that pressure when the Diamond Mine debuts?
Sarray checks on Zayda backstage.
Sarray and Zayda thank each other for the great match tonight, and there is still great respect between them. Toni Storm starts storming over, but Zoey Stark is there to intercept! The Lightning From Down Under won’t get after the Warrior of the Sun with Stark watching Sarray’s back. Stark then congratulates Sarray on her win and Zayda on her great showing. Will Stark make herself into the lightning rod that keeps Storm from striking anyone else?
LA Knight VS Jake Atlas!
For NXT being his game now, Knight hasn’t been winning as much as he’d like. But as he makes his entrance, “Lemme talk to ya! The Ruler’s back, and what that means is a bunch of incels out here are gonna be saying my name in a minute. But just because you say ‘L! A! Knight!’ doesn’t make you cool.'” Speaking of not cool, Knight’s going to redefine Jake Atlas’ name. He’ll punt Jake’s ass so far down the street, he’s gonna need an atlas to find it, YEAH! That’s not an insult, that’s just a fact of life! But will Knight be the one looking like a dummy?
The bell rings and Atlas dodges Knight to arm-drag him to an armlock! Atlas dares Knight to talk trash now, but Knight fights up and pulls hair. Knight whips, Atlas dodges again and gets another arm-drag! Atlas has another armlock, but Knight fight sup to pull hair again. Atlas wrenches the arm but Knight ROCKS Atlas with a forearm. Knight bumps Atlas off buckles, stomps him down, then drags Atlas up. Knight whips Atlas to ropes, Atlas hurdles and stops to BOOT Knight! And then dropkick! Knight bails out but Atlas fires up! Atlas builds speed to DIVE into an uppercut! Knight gets on the apron to BOOT Atlas back in the ring, and slingshot SHOULDER TACKLE in!
Knight throws body shots and more stomps on Atlas, then snapmares him. Knight drops a knee but misses as Atlas moves! Atlas ROCKS Knight with haymaker after haymaker but then dodges Knight’s to KNEE and ROLLING ELBOW! And GERMAN SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Knight survives and Atlas is furious! Atlas storms over but Knight sends him into buckles! Knight stomps Atlas more, throws JABS, then hoists Atlas up top. Knight ROCKS Atlas again, talks some trash, and climbs up top. Atlas knocks Knight away, but Knight runs back! Knight leaps, Atlas gets under, and Knight hops down, into a mule kick! Atlas KICKS and swings, but Knight ducks the heel to STUNNER! Cover, Knight wins!
Winner: LA Knight, by pinfall
Knight’s take on the stunner, the BFT, was a BFD, big friggin’ deal! Will Knight finally start to be the next big thing he promised to be?
Candice & Indi talk backstage.
Candice tells Indi that it’s fine Johnny and Austin headed home already. This is THEIR night! Tag title Street Fight! They’ll get the titles! Indi checks her bag, but Candice spots a drawing left on a chair. That artwork’s by Dexter Lumis! It’s of him carrying Indi away a couple weeks ago! Candice hides it from Indi, and brings up how those flowers Dexter sent to Shotzi & Ember should’ve been Indi’s. Indi looks at Candice, which causes her to miss Dexter standing at the door with roses! Roses that are for Indi! Candice pretends she doesn’t hear anything, and asks if she’s thinking about “that boy” again. Candice spots Dexter, and hurries to close the blinds!
Indi says Candice is right, she has to focus. Tonight’s the night. Visualize and feel it. The Way says they’re going to get back at Shotzi & Ember, but will Candice run out of ways to fool Indi and thwart Dexter?
Toni Storm speaks.
“Zoey Stark, you’re really pissing me off. You’re what’s known as, ‘the flavor of the month.’ And may I say, you’re losing your taste pretty damn quick.” Stark doesn’t deserve to be in the same ring as Toni, in the same locker room, or even breathing the same damn oxygen as Toni! Toni is a global superstar, former and future women’s champion, and Stark… is a future NOBODY! But soon everyone is going to forget about Zoey Stark. Storm brought Stark into the business, and whenever she’s ready, “so help me God,” she’ll take Stark out of it! Is #ToniTime just a moment away from taking over?
El Legado del Fantasma is in the ring.
Santos Escobar starts by saying, “The measure of a man. You’ve heard me talk about blood, tradition, heritage, legacy. You’ve seen me become the NXT Cruiserweight Campeon! And the undisputed Emperor of Lucha Libre.” Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde voice their agreement, and Escobar continues by saying that last week, we all witnessed a moment. An ICONIC moment. A vision, or even a premonition. Escobar will recover what is rightfully his in the NXT Cruiserweight Championship. Then Wilde tells MSK that they haven’t forgotten. When MSK won at TakeOver, they didn’t beat Legado! But last week, Legado DID beat MSK! Real bad, too! They EMBARRASSED MSK!
Mendoza says that’s right! Wilde says we all know what needs to happen next. Mendoza says Legado is about sangre, tradicion, orgullo, sacrificio, legado and oro. That means they want MSK VS Legado for the NXT Tag Team Championships! Escobar says, “The measure of a man is not what he can do for himself, but what he does for his brothers.” But then Kushida interrupts on the titantron! Last week, Escobar crossed a line and that was mistake! Kushida warns him in Japanese and then in English that next week, they will face off for the Cruiserweight Championship! Escobar says he’s on!! The title will be back on the line, but can Escobar take it back to grow his legend?
Raquel Gonzalez and Mercedes Martinez sit down for an interview via video.
Beth Phoenix thanks them both for this time, and starts with the NXT Women’s Champion. Beth says Raquel dared the challengers to line up so she could knock them all down. How does she plan on doing that to Mercedes next week? “Simple: Pure power.” This title means Raquel is the baddest in the division, and she went through a long list just to get here. She respects Mercedes’ years of respect, but Mercedes says she should. But Raquel says to respect the champ, and don’t cut her off! Mercedes laughs and says everyone wants to talk about her experience, how long she’s been in the business, but she gets it. She’s hungry! And next week, she has something to prove!
Raquel intimidates everyone else but not Mercedes! Raquel says, “Not yet.” Mercedes dares Raquel to look her in the eyes. “You do NOT see any fear.” Raquel says what she sees is a woman who is about to get her ass kicked. Mercedes says what she really sees is a woman who never stays down! Mercedes says Raquel is champ because of someone like Mercedes. The roads Mercedes traveled were paved for Raquel! The roads Mercedes drove up and down were for Raquel! Raquel hasn’t been through the ugliness and grittiness Mercedes had to go through! To Mercedes, Raquel isn’t gritty, she’s a cookie cutter! Mercedes wasn’t! Raquel may not see it, but she was molded after a blueprint MERCEDES made!
Blueprint? Cookie cutter? Mercedes, you did set the bar. But she set it way down here. Raquel picked it up with one arm and placed it so high, no one else can ever reach it. In one year of experience, Raquel has surpassed every single one of Mercedes’ accomplishments throughout her entire career! Well in one night, Mercedes will end Raquel’s reign. No, Chiquita, you’re just the first challenger, and you won’t be the last! With the words out of the way, who will be the one to have the last say in their intense title match?
Shotzi & Ember talk backstage.
After The Way humiliated them last week, they have this coming! Indi hit Shotzi with a glass vase! And Candice smashed cupcakes in Ember’s face! Actually, Shotzi would’ve preferred that one. Wait, what is Preston doing in Shotzi’s tank? C’mere, cute little guy. Run along, little doggy. Preston heads off, Ember says he left something NOT cute in the tank. Aw c’mon…! How is it so big when Preston’s so small!? Well, they’ll wash that out later. Can Shotzi & Ember at least #TCB, Take Care o’ Business, against Candice & Indi?
Cameron Grimes hits the club!
He is feelin’ good tonight, and says sup to the bouncer. Grimes offers a fist bump but is left hanging. That’s fine, Grimes likes that he’s taking his job seriously. He’s Grimes and he’s going TO~ THE~ VIP Room. C’mon, man, he’s been here before, let him in. Sorry, sir, there’s no one on the list tonight. You sure? This is Cameron Grimes. Yes, but the entire venue has been rented out for the evening. The bouncer’s really tall so maybe he didn’t hear. Grimes jumps as he says his name again. Just a moment, Mr. Grimes. His limo has just arrived. Huh? Who? Grimes is right here, he didn’t order a limo! It’s Ted DeBiase!?!
“Learn a lesson, kid: Don’t just rent a booth, when you can buy the whole place!” And one more thing: Everybody’s got a price for the Million Dollar Man! DeBiase laughs his way into the club but Grimes says that’s not funny! DAMN YOU, DEBIASE!! Will Grimes continue to be thwarted by the original big money roller?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!

Winners: Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell, by pinfall (NEW NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions)
History was made in the most hardcore way, and finally, Candice has gold! She hugs Indi, because it was all thanks to her impressive heart and determination! Will the third-ever champions take these titles all the way to the top?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode here, with great bookending with the opener and main event. Swerve VS Ruff was pretty good as a Falls Count Anywhere, for the limited space they could use in the Capitol Wrestling Center, aka Performance Center, but the best part was that Swerve is now a leader of a faction! I always felt Adonis and Swerve should be a duo, but adding the debuting #TopDolla AJ Francis and bringing back Briana Brandy from her various appearances here and there is a great move. The team’s name is not yet made official but it could be something Swerve has said over the last few weeks in this feud with Ruff.
Grimes gets another win in the ring, but another loss in kayfabe life, and I am really liking that we’re getting to see Ted DeBiase more than just once. This has to lead to a proxy fighting for DeBiase against Grimes, possibly for the Million Dollar Championship, or even a new vanity belt being introduced. I like that Gargano is being tied into things with Kross. Kross got impatient, acted like his contenders were scared but then they all show up at once. The promos were all okay, but the brawling was awesome! We must be getting a Fatal 4 Way #1 Contender’s match after Gargano defends his title against Reed. Win or lose, Gargano can be in the contender’s match just for the sake of star power.
Balor recently lost the title, so it’s either Kyle or Dunne getting the win. Cole claims to not be done with Kyle so maybe Dunne challenges Kross first to be a strong first defense. Kross can win to build this new reign, and then Kyle can circle back after apparently having to thwart Cole despite their Unsanctioned match being so badass. I also like the detail of Gargano & Theory running away so they couldn’t be attacked back by Kross. It also established that Candice & Indi would have to win the Street Fight on their own. Also, Grimes’ opponent tonight, Asher Hale, was definitely the same guy who took Kross’ saido.
GYV VS Thatcher & Ciampa was a great match, and I’m a little surprised Ciampa & Thatcher won. Granted, Ciampa was a great tag team guy once upon a time, so I suppose he and a new partner could outdo former tag champions. Still not sure where their story is going but Ciampa & Thatcher do make a badass team. Imperium had a short segment but it was to the point: Walter wants results! Wolfe VS Dain next week is going to be a lot of fun, just on story, and it will be a moment of truth in the overall Imperium expansion angle they’re working on. Legado del Fantasma has a good set of promos, and the matches we knew they’d want are being set up. Kushida VS Escobar, 2 outta 3, is going to be incredible!
Sarray VS Zayda was a great match, naturally Sarray won, and I like that while Storm wants after Sarray, Stark won’t let her just move on yet. Stark VS Storm Round 2 is going to be great, and then we can definitely get a great feud of Storm and Sarray. The video interview promo for Raquel and Mercedes was good, a bit better than most of these, but almost too real with them trying to talk over each other. That match is going to be awesome, but Raquel surely retains since this is her first defense. Though, we thought that was going to be the case with the tag titles and yet… But with Dakota ringside, surely something happens to help Raquel retain.
Is it just me, or is Franky Monet getting her hands into too many things? She shows up around the tag scene, around the top title scene, she needs to pick a lane. I don’t see her getting a tag partner so soon, but she also has to get in the ring before challenging for a title anyway. The Street Fight was insane, so many great spots and spot teases, and Indi really did impress. With the very funny promo backstage with Candice literally hiding Lumis from Indi, I thought he was going to show up, but I guess he chose not to upset Indi by interfering. The Way was in a must-win situation tonight so it’s great to see it happened, and maybe now that they have more belts, things really take off for them.
My Score: 9.3/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
The fans are already fired up as Tony welcomes us to AEW Dynamite in New Orleans! “Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome with me to begin this program, multi-platinum recording artist, entrepreneur, and University of New Orleans’ own ‘Coach P,’ ladies and gentlemen, MASTER P!” The fans fire up again as indeed, THE Master P, the hip hop legend and the owner of House of Glory Wrestling, makes his way to the ring! P says what up New Orleans! It’s AEW Dynamite, UNHHH~! It is his pleasure to introduce to us the NEW AEW World Trios Champions, THE OPPS! “Make ’em say UNHHH~!”
The fans cheer even more as Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata and “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs make their way out, wearing those University of New Orleans Pirates colors! Samoa Joe gets himself a mic to say, “Lemme try that one one time. Make ’em say UNHHH~!” “UNHHH~!” “Nana nana!” Master P says it is about to get rowdy rowdy, ’bout it ’bout it! Joe says yes, sir! It is good to be here tonight! Because you see, The Opps have come to celebrate. The fans like the sound of that! Joe says before that, props to big brother Master P. Joe thanks P for the introductions, and for everything he does for this great city. Joe appreciates it, he knows the people appreciate.
Joe says BigBlueUNO.com, see what P is doing for the student athletes here. Master P says there’s always love for the student athletes. Master P is Coach P, there’s nothing but love for this city. Joe says that’s a good thing, because they love New Orleans, too. When they thought about the best city to celebrate a championship win, it’s right here in New Orleans! But wait, the Death Riders are here to ruin the fun. Well, Marina Shafir comes out from the back, but Wheeler Yuta rushes in from the ramp! He CLOBBERS Shibata, Claudio CLOBBERS Hobbs, and Moxley uses the briefcase to CLOBBER Joe! The fans boo and Master P can’t believe it!
Claudio drags Hobbs out, Yuta keeps after Shibata, and then Hobbs is sent into steel steps! Moxley CHOKES Joe, Marina is there to hold Joe down, and then Moxley stomps Joe! The fans boo but Master P stands his ground! The fans cheer on the coach but this is still a 3v1 situation. Moxley steps to Master P, and then Master P chuckles…? Because JOE IS BACK UP! Joe has the COQUINA CLUTCH on Moxley! Shibata and Hobbs drag Yuta & Claudio from the ring to fire in return! Master P even gets some shots on Mox! The fans fire up as the tables have turned on the Death Riders! P laughs as Moxley goes out, again!
Master P says this is New Orleans, right? They want all the smoke! This about to be a problem. Go ahead, put ’em to sleep! But wait, The Elite rushes out here! And Matthew Jackson has a chair! He SMACKS Joe down to free Moxley! Master P hurries out of there now, there’s a lot more going on. The fans boo as the Death Riders turn the tables back around. The Bucks say you’re welcome, Moxley. But then Marina steps in and keeps Moxley from retaliating, And then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE! The fans fire up as now the Realest is on the scene! Joe gets back up again, The Elite retreat now that things are getting complicated.
But then Kenny Omega makes his way out here! And The Cleaner has a chair of his own! The Elite scurry after where The Death Riders made their exit! The fans fire up as AEW International Champion stands with the World Trios Champions and the Most Dangerous Man in AEW. Then these five look to each other, and Joe grabs the mic again. “In respect to whose house it is, nice to see you again, brother. I will say this: JON MOXLEY! You wanted me, now you have me. I’m gonna beat your ass, choke you out, and ladies and gentlemen, I’ll be taking back my AEW World Championship.” The mission statement has been issued, but will all part of “Team AEW V3” be okay with that?
Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.
Renee Paquette is with Christian Cage, Kip Sabian, Mother Shayna, and the youngest ever singles champion in ROH or AEW history, the NEW ROH World Television Champion, Nick Wayne. A huge congratulations to Nick, but Christian says actually, the congratulations should all go to him. He even takes the belt from Nick! Christian says Nick would agree that if not for The Patriarch, Nick would not be standing here the champion. Because Christian is the one who forced Nick to step out of his shell, find himself, spread his wings and truly become what it is Christian’s always known Nick to be, and that’s The Prodigy.
Christian still says they’re all proud of Nick. They all celebrated. In fact, Christian and Shayna celebrated Nick’s victory extensively, later that night. Nick scowls but Christian says, “Do you see what happens, Nick, when you listen? When you shut your mouth, you open your ears, and you actually listen to me?! Good things happen, and I always tell the truth, don’t I?” Nick asks Christian if he sees what happens when you actually stick to the plan: You actually win championships. Nick tries to take his belt back, but Christian holds onto it. Christian then willingly gives it over, and says, “I love my family.”
Christian storms off, and neither Kip nor Shayna is really sure what to make of this. Is there about to be a new head of the household now that Nick’s standing up for himself?
Ricochet VS Mark Briscoe!
The One & Only is brushing off the losses that have plagued him in hopes of reaching his goal of gold in AEW. However, will he #ReachForTheSky against the Sussex County Chicken? Or can Ricochet #ManUp against the former ROH World Heavyweight Champion?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two circle, the fans taunt Ricochet with, “OH~ Ricochet’s Bald~!” Ricochet is annoyed, and he goes out to bond with the fan in the front row who is also bald! He claims everyone else is making fun of this guy, too! In fact, isn’t Mark bald? Why aren’t people talking Mark for being bald?! The fans chant, “You Aren’t Mark! You Aren’t Mark!” The two tie up, Ricochet powers Mark back, but Mark turns things around to corner Ricochet. The ref has Mark back off and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Mark reset, feel things out, but Ricochet goes to the ropes for defense.
The fans boo but Mark waits on Ricochet. Ricochet and Mark circle, feel things out, but again Ricochet is in a corner. The ref backs Mark off, and then Ricochet runs up!

Tony Schiavone is back in the ring.
He welcomes us back to the show, but just as he’s about to begrudgingly welcome out FTR, he is interrupted by Stokely Hathaway! Big Stoke says there has been a change of plans, and he’s got this now. “They are living legends. Top guys! TEN TIME World Tag Team Champions! New Orleans, give it up for F T R!” The fans boo, but the music hits and Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler make their way out, walking with Stokely to the ring. FTR shake hands with Schiavone, and Stokely reintroduces himself. He will address the elephant in the room. FTR were suspended and fined for accidentally hitting someone, and simply touching Tony Schiavone?
That is interesting to Stokely, because there are other people who have literally set people on fire. Hangman Page has committed arson! Ricochet decides to come to work and shanks people with scissors! And should we even list all of Moxley’s crimes? Stokely will. Acts of terrorism, kidnapping, extortion, and all to FTR, yet he walks around here unpunished. That is unjust! But do not worry, that’s why Stokely is here. Stokely says that suspension will be expunged from their permanent records. Those fines will be reimbursed, based on the very public, ugly, and nasty way this has all played out.
Moving forward, if you wanna have a conversation with the Top Guys, you need to have a conversation with Stokely. As of today, Stokely Hathaway is the new agent for the greatest tag team today, F T R! Now, Schiavone, do your job. Schiavone thanks Stokely, and then holds the mic for FTR. Cash says beautiful work from Stokely. But what happened last week with Daniel Garcia was not an easy decision for them. But “Danny” gave them no choice when he made his own decision. The fans boo, Cash says please be polite, he is talking. Don’t forget, it was 2Point0 that got in FTR’s face! It was 2Point0 that came at FTR! It was 2Point0 that wanted a fight!
And from where FTR is from, when you want a fight, you better be ready to fight. And well, 2Point0 wasn’t ready for that fight. Cash has respect for Danny, though. When he asked them to stop, FTR stopped. Danny is FTR’s friend. But then he goes and treats them like that? Don’t forget, Danny, you came to them for help. When every other veteran here left him high and dry and directionless, it was FTR that got Danny to the TNT Championship. FTR put Danny first, they put Cope first, they put AEW first, and that got FTR nothing but disrespect! NO MORE! FTR first from now on! And you’re gonna boo them for that?!
The fans do indeed boo, but Dax steps in. What’s with the hostility? Relax. Speaking of living legends, there are a couple legends in the house right now! Rock ‘n’ Roll Express are here! Dax invites Ricky & Robert to the ring to share the spotlight. Ricky & Robert stand up, the fans cheer, and Dax says c’mon now, we’ve got TV time ticking. Watch your step, we don’t want anyone falling. Rock ‘n’ Roll Express do indeed step into the ring with FTR, Stokely & Schiavone, and Dax tells the fans that if they didn’t cheer FTR, no need to cheer Rock ‘n’ Roll. The fans boo but Dax says one of the greatest teams of all time, Rock ‘n’ Roll Express!
Ricky & Robert have had some of the greatest matches with some of the greatest teams. Which do they feel is their greatest match of all time? Before Ricky or Robert can answer, Dax says it would have to be Philadelphia with the Midnight Express. And to be honest, no shade, but Midnight Express was better. The fans boo, Dax says no, hold on, tonight is going to be about Rock ‘n’ Roll Express. 40 YEARS of Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, they’re still going strong. How old are they? And again, Dax interrupts by saying that he’d have to say just on looks alone, he’d go with 109. And being 109 means they were running hard in the 80s, if you know what he means.
What would they say was their greatest experience in the 80s? Ricky stops Dax from interrupting this time! The fans cheer and Ricky says no more of this. Don’t try and embarrass Ricky & Robert in front of the wrestling world. Stokely steps in and says there doesn’t need to be hostility. This is kinda ironic, but Stokely has something. He has Dax hold his mic, and then he brings out the brand new FTR merch shirt! FTR: Living Legend Killers. This one’s for Ricky. Stokely throws the shirt at Ricky, and then FTR attacks! The fans boo as Cash DECKS Robert, and then Dax reels Ricky in! Cash goes up, MIND BREAKER!!
But here comes The Paragon! FTR runs from Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly! The Top Guys stoop to new lows, but will The Paragon make sure FTR get the worst of it?
The Young Bucks VS Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey!
We saw Matthew & Nicholas Jackson earlier tonight try and again ingratiate themselves to the Death Riders, only to be reminded they have many more enemies than friends. But this match is really only because The Jet & Speedball went a little overboard with their celebration last week, what with the $400,000 and The Opps winning the World Trios Championships. Will The Bucks be a couple of buzzkills? Or will they still throw a Superkick Party?
The teams sort out and Matt starts against Bailey. The fans cheer as the two circle. Bailey trips Matt, things speed up, and Matt stays low. Mike handsprings, then bypasses Matt to drop down and hurdle over! Matt leaps over, but Bailey ducks a kick! Matt ducks a kick, and then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS hook each other!

Matt throat chops Bailey! Matt whips Knight, but Bailey gives him the boost for the CROSSBODY! Then they TOSS Matt out onto Nick! The fans fire up as Knight & Bailey say #2Fly!

Then a whip, but Matt wrenches. Knight dodges Matt to pop him up and SLAM! UFO SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Knight waits on Matt, then somersaults for a DD- NO, Matt turns satellite DDT into NORTHERN LIGHTS!

Backstage interview with Toni Storm.
Renee is now with the Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion, as well as butler Luther, and notes that tonight, it is Kris Statlander VS Jamie Hayter in the Women’s Owen Hart Tournament Semifinals. Renee also notes that Toni has been watching everyone in this tournament very closely. Toni says, “And why shouldn’t I? These are the preeminent individuals in our entire industry. So ladies, good luck. Pound your flesh, rip your tits, but don’t you dare get any blood on my pearls. And remember: You are now watching your feature presentation.” Renee says speaking of feature presentations, this weekend in Hollywood, Toni will be on the red carpet for the TCM Film Festival.
Toni says yes, some new little science fiction film. Renee says it’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Toni says there’s not an empire big enough to strike her back. But remember, she is a lover and a fighter. She isn’t just going to spend this weekend cucking around with Ben Mankiewicz! She has an idea! Toni grabs her title and stands up on top of a chair. “Attention, slop tarts! This Saturday on Collision, I’m going to have a Championship Eliminator Performance! So if there’s any b*tch that has the itch-” Oh, Queen Aminata steps up immediately. She says she’s back, and you know she likes to fight. So, let’s do this.
Toni says, “No, no, darling. It’s… Let’s make cinema!” Toni has Luther carry her away, but will Playoff Palooza end up an underdog sports story?
The Hurt Syndicate is here!
New Orleans fires up and sings along, “We Hurt~ People!” as Montel Vontavious Porter, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin make their way to the ring. MVP holds up a fan’s sign that says, “WE HURT PEOPLE,” then he grabs a mic. “Attention, AEW viewing audience. This is an official announcement from The Hurt Syndicate. On behalf of the Standard of Excellence, Shelton Benjamin, and the All Mighty, Bobby Lashley, we are the Hurt Syndicate, and we hurt people.” The fans cheer that! MVP says in fact, they’re so good at that, that every single tag team they’ve faced for these AEW World Tag Team Championships haven’t been back!
MVP says they’re all home healing up. Then the Gates of Agony stepped up, and they said they like to be hurt? That’s a silly thing to say to two of the most dangerous men on the planet! But they obliged, and they hurt those two. You will not be seeing The Gates of Agony in the near future. But perhaps you will see them eventually, because Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona are hungry young lions and they will return. Now is just not their time. This time right now, MVP will hand the mic over to Lashley, because he has a few things he’d like to say. The fans cheer that! MVP passes the mic to Lashley, but then an engine starts revving.
MVP sighs as we see a fancy sports car pull into the parking lot. And out steps none other than Maxwell Jacob Friedman. MJF tells a guy to keep it running for him, then nut taps him on the way out! MJF laughs at his own prank, and even says, “What a do*che.” MJF heads to gorilla, and that means he makes his entrance! Lashley smirks because of course MJF is making his way out here. MJF has a mic to say cut his music. The fans cheer MJF on, and MJF tells the Hurt Syndicate, “Gentlemen, I know… Hell, we all know you had a good time last week, okay? And if you guys wanna have a good time for the rest of your lives, all I need are three thumbs up. That’s it.”
MJF waits, and MVP says okay, let’s try this one more time. MVP says we know how he feels, he is still thumbs up. The fans cheer for “THREE THUMBS UP! THREE THUMBS UP!” Shelton is no longer intimidated by Lashley, and he gives the thumbs up! MJF is excited, but Shelton denies him the hug. Shelton tells MJF that to make this real clear, this isn’t a thumbs up because of “a bunch of broads and a watch.” The only reason Shelton gave MJF a thumbs up is because of MVP, so don’t forget that. MJF says of course! He loves Montel! We ALL love Montel, right? The fans cheer! MJF says, “We also love our good friend, Bob!”
The fans cheer for “BOB! BOB! BOB!” and MJF says c’mon, let’s see it. Lashley holds out his hand, but MJF says hold on, hold on, he has a feeling he knows where Lashley is going with this. So please, give him one more second. MJF knows Lashley has his reservations, but if he’s in the Syndicate, then they’ll get all the money, the power, the respect, and the gold! Lashley brings a lot to the table, but with all due respect, there are things MJF brings to the table that Lashley does not. MJF knows AEW better than anybody. MJF knows how to cut corners better than anybody! And he knows how to win by any means necessary better than anybody.
If they let MJF in, they don’t just run AEW, they run professional wrestling! MVP says that’s a good point. MJF says he knows they got off on the wrong foot, but really, that’s not MJF’s fault. But, but, but…! MJF is willing to admit as Salt of the Earth, he’s been a bit prickly over the rejections. So MJF wants Lashley to know, from the bottom of his heart, two words he’s never said before… “I’m sor…” MJF trails off and the fans chant, “Say You’re Sorry!” MJF says he is, okay? Shut up! “Bob…! I’m sorry!” MJF gets it out and the fans cheer! MJF catches his breath and then Lashley holds up his hand. MJF panics and says before Lashley puts the thumb down…!
Did Lashley see the car he drove here in? Did they like that car? If Lashley gives a thumbs up, that car is his! MVP says that’s another good offer. Lashley chuckles and says he needs the keys. Of course! But they’re in the back, so we gotta take a walk. Okay, let’s go take a walk. MJF says we’re taking a walk! The fans cheer as MJF leads the way back to the parking lot. MJF tells the fans they’re as tough to look at as they’ve been lovely, so thank you. But will the keys to that incredible car be the key to MJF joining the Hurt Syndicate?
MJF and the Hurt Syndicate arrive in the parking lot.
MJF has the valet hand the keys back, and MJF has them look at this beauty. Talk about horsepower! It is gorgeous! Lashley takes the keys, steps into the driver’s seat, and Shelton joins him at shotgun. MJF asks for a thumbs up, but Lashley just drives away! Thumbs… DOWN?!? MJF just got tricked! MVP has MJF calm down and says you gotta give the people what they want. MJF grits his teeth as he tells Lashley to have fun with the car… But if it isn’t gifts that will win The All Mighty over, what must MJF give him?
Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee is with the once again Anxious Millennial Cowboy, and she notes that was a huge victory for Hangman in the Owen Hart Tournament. Hangman beat the wild card, Josh Alexander, and is now set to face Kyle Fletcher next week in the semifinals held in Norfolk, Virginia. Kyle viciously attacked last week, so how is- “The MOMENT that I see Kyle Fletcher, I am going to put his ass in the ground! And it looks like somebody wants to get in here, so get your ass in here.” MJF steps in and says, “Howdy, Cowboy. How you been? You look great. By the way, I wanted to compliment you on your new haircut. I love that it makes it look like you met your wife at a family reunion.”
Hangman says MJF hasn’t changed anything about himself since he was 12 years old. But Hangman is in the middle of an interview, so unless MJF has something of substance to add, he should just get in his car and- Oh…! Right, we just saw what happened there. MJF sarcastically laughs that off, and says it’s “Joke Man” Adam Page. Here’s a joke for him: Guy enters the Owen Hart Tournament, only to then watch MJF stroll on in through the backdoor with the Hurt Syndicate to reclaim what is rightfully his and become a TWO-TIME AEW World Champion. Hangman says like MJF knows anything about the backdoor.
MJF’s whole plan is to use Hurt Syndicate, but how does that get him an inch closer to the world title? But maybe after Hangman beat MJF’s ass at Revolution, MJF had to figure something out because he knows he can’t win matches, and he knows he can’t hang with Hangman. MJF says wow, first of all, of course Hangman doesn’t understand his intentions with The Hurt Syndicate, Hangman’s an idiot. Second of all, Hangman wants to act high and might because he beat MJF, well check the math, they’re 1-1. If they ever do face off again, MJF sends Seabiscuit to the glue factory where he belongs.
And third of all, the personal favorite for MJF: Hangman thinks he’s a badass for being in the Owen Hart Cup? Hangman is a great wrestler, MJF will not take that away from him. But if Hangman does manage to get to the finals, he’ll just do what he does best, and that’s choke. MJF leaves, Hangman shouts he has something for MJF to choke on! Dumbass! Hangman storms off, but will he make it through the semifinals? Or will the Aussie Arrow make sure Hangman can’t go Double or Nothing?
Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita w/ Don Callis Family VS Will Ospreay & Brody King!
Speaking of the Owen Hart Cup, the Walking Weapon lost to The Cowboy, and the Alpha lost to the Aerial Assassin in their epic semifinal showdown.

They double whip, DOUBLE ELBOW, then stand Ospreay up for DOUBLE BACK SUPLEXES! They shake hands, and then DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Takeshita flexes, then he drags Ospreay up. Konosuke bumps Ospreay off buckles, tags Alexander, and Alexander ROCKS Ospreay!
Alexander whips Ospreay, Ospreay reveres and atomic drops! Then he CHOPS Alexander down, before he STANDING MOONSAULT FLOPS as Alexander moves! Alexander grabs a leg for an ANKLE LOCK! Ospreay rolls and throws Alexander away, but Alexander is right back to scoop and SLAM! Alexander runs to drop a KNEE, but the fans sing for “Ospreay~, Ospreay Ospreay Ospreay~!” Alexander whips corner to corner, Ospreay goes up and over, then Ospreay keeps moving to RANA Alexander!

Konosuke sits Ospreay down and Alexander CROSSBODIES! The fans boo but Callis and Lance Archer like what they see, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Callis whispers something to Konosuke before Konosuke rolls into the ring. Alexander looms over Ospreay, holds him up, and Konosuke distracts the ref, allowing Callis to get a cheap shot in! Callis is giddy as he goes back to commentary. Alexander then storms in and he stomps Ospreay around. Alexander stalks Ospreay, CHOPS him, then Konosuke CHOKES Ospreay in the corner! The ref reprimands, but Alexander scoops and SLAMS Osprey! Tag to Konosuke and he goes up to SUPER SENTON! Cover, TWO! Konosuke drags Ospreay up, reels him in, and Ospreay endures the COBRA TWIST! The ref checks on Ospreay, but that lets Konosuke link up with Alexander!
The ref looks and sees what they’re up to, so Alexander lets go. Konosuke scoops Ospreay for a BACKBREAKER! Tag to Alexander, he stalks Ospreay, and he steps on Ospreay’s foot to keep him from Brody. Alexander then stomps the ankle! Alexander grabs a leg, twists Ospreay’s ankle, then he JAMS the leg up! Ospreay hobbles away, but he still CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! But Alexander dropkicks the bad leg! Ospreay falls in a heap, and Alexander fishhooks him into sitting up!

Ospreay staggers to a corner, Alexander UPPERCUTS him again! Ospreay falls, Alexander clamps on a chinlock! Dynamite returns to single picture and the fans rally up.

New Orleans is torn as Kris and Jamie stand to fire forearms back and forth! Kris fires a flurry, but Jamie fires back! Kris PELES, then runs! But Jamie follows to ELBOW Kris! Jamie runs but Kris follows to ROCK her! Kris runs again, but Jamie kicks low! Kris ducks the enzigiri! DEADLIFT GERMAN SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Jamie stays in this, but Kris clamps on with a DRAGON SLEEPER! Jamie endures as Kris also has the body scissors! The fans rally as Jamie pushes back to a cover, TWO! Kris still holds on, and she keeps the body scissors while shifting to a standard SLEEPER! Jamie endures, then fire elbows at the legs!
Kris CLUBS Jamie, clamps back on, but Jamie rolls back to a cover, TWO!! Jamie has a headscissor neck lock! The fans fire up as Jamie squeezes tight! Kris endures, turns over, so Jamie goes to the ropes! Jamie uses the ropes for leverage, only for Kris to Chair Lift her up! And SLAM! The fans fire up and Kris waits on Jamie to rise. Jamie sits up, into a BLINDSIDE METEORA!! Cover, TWO!! Jamie survives but Kris is not deterred. Kris hauls Jamie up, tucks her in, but Jamie victory rolls! TWO!! Kris rolls away, both women stand, and Jamie ducks a discus! But then Kris ducks the discus, runs back in, but into a SUPERKICK!
But Kris is up to ROUNDHOUSE! Jamie ENZIGIRIS! Jamie roars, runs, but into a POP-UP POWERBOMB!! High stack, but then a roll through, and a reel in! Underhooks, but Jamie wrenches out to clinch!

Jamie drags Kris back up, powers up that arm, and the fans fire up for the HAYTERADE!!! Cover, JAMIE WINS!!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall (advances to Double or Nothing)
The fans cheer on Jamie, but here comes The “C E O! C E O!” Mercedes Mone struts her way out, all her belts on her person. She points to the Owen Hart Cup trophy and smiles. Jamie says no no no, that’s gonna be hers. These two are just one month away from going Double or Nothing, who wins it all in Arizona?
My Thoughts:
A great Dynamite here, with strong build in all the stories that they’ve got going right now. Great opening segment with Schiavone bringing out Master P, Master P bringing out The Opps, and then all that causing The Death Riders to show up. Good brawl there, and that was fun having Master P laugh at Moxley being choked out. But then good move having The Elite show up, that works for the story of The Elite still trying to join forces with The Death Riders. But then Swerve and Omega showing up was also good. With the news that Moxley VS Joe is now for Beach Break, I am very certain we’re getting Stadium Stampede/Anarchy in the Arena for Double or Nothing. Seeing The Opps, Omega & Swerve together, that’s just a natural Team AEW for this time around.
Similarly, very good promo stuff with Schiavone inviting out FTR. I’m a little surprised Stokely Hathaway is back as FTR’s manager, but at least he’s getting to do something. Very good promo from FTR, Passive Aggressive Dax is pretty funny. And then FTR turning on Rock ‘n’ Roll Express, that was wild. The Paragon showing up was good stuff, and we’ll get a great match of FTR VS Roddy & Kyle. Also, I guess it really is official, Cole-Roddy-Kyle are The Paragon, and “The Kingdom” returns to just being Taven & Bennett. And while prerecorded so that they can play it between NBA games on Saturday, Playoff Palooza looks like a lot of fun.
Ricochet VS Mark Briscoe was a great match that wasn’t quite so outta-nowhere, given last week’s big money 8 Man Tag. Good win for Mark, but of course Ricochet attacked him. Kevin Knight making the save was good, and it helped give us the finish to Knight’s tag match against The Bucks. That tag match was bordering on PPV quality, but it makes sense Ricochet would cheat Knight as payback. Knight VS Ricochet definitely needs to happen next week before Knight has to go back to Japan for Best of the Super Juniors. And in the meantime, perhaps Ricochet and Bailey can feud as a holdover until Knight gets back in the Summer.
Great promo from MVP to put over the Gates of Agony, and great stuff with MJF and the Hurt Syndicate. I could just tell Lashley was gonna get the better of MJF with that car deal. This is definitely going to boil down to how Lashley might actually want a world title shot, making the whole thing of MJF joining a moot point. Great promo between MJF and Hangman, one of them will definitely cost the other something, and it is definitely more likely MJF costs Hangman against Kyle or Ospreay in the tournament. Another great tag match tonight with Ospreay & Brody VS Konosuke & Alexander.
The Don Callis Family of course cheated to get their win, and also great beatdown stuff after. Hangman wanting after Kyle was good stuff, and with the Don Callis Family standing tall, there’s a very big chance that it ends up Ospreay VS Hangman for Double or Nothing. For one, as I just said, MJF can cost Hangman. Also, we’ve gotten plenty of Ospreay VS Fletcher lately, we can give them time before they fight again. Great promo from Toni to issue an open challenge and have it immediately answered by Aminata. Maybe they’re doing this now that they went and changed the ROH PPV schedule, and that kinda screws up when and where Aminata VS Deeb was going to happen…
Then great main event of Kris VS Jamie. I am legit surprised it was Jamie winning to face Mone, I really thought Kris was going to make that push to the top. Mone VS Jamie will still be awesome, and it’d still be great to see Toni VS Jamie again after all this time, but it still feels like Toni VS Mone ends up the All In match, even though I still argue we should be getting Mone VS Athena so that Athena can be on the big PPV in her hometown. Though, I guess if Supercard of Honor is going to be in Texas, that’s supposed to make things up to The Fallen Goddess when she deserves the bigger stage.
My Score: 8.9/10

Raquel staggers to a corner, Gigi runs up, but Raquel dodges. Gigi dodges and ROUNDHOUSES from the apron! Gigi climbs up and CROSSBODIES!
Raquel just manages to catch Gigi, and swings her for a POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Gigi survives and the fans rally. Raquel grabs Tatum to RAM her into a corner! But Gigi rolls Raquel! TWO, Raquel runs up, but Gigi BOOTS her! The ref is busy checking Tatum, Liv SHOVES Gigi off the corner! The fans cheer and Raquel goes out to drag Gigi up. But Tatum SHOVES Liv onto Raquel! The fans fire up as Tatum ASAI MOONSAULTS! Down go the champs, the challengers stand tall, and the fans cheer as NXT goes to break.
NXT returns and Raquel THROWS Tatum down! Raquel clamps on with a cobra clutch but Tatum endures! The fans rally, Tatum fights up, and Tatum JAWBREAKERS free! Tatum dodges Raquel but the SOUTHPAW finds her! Raquel drags Tatum up, tags Liv in, and the champs mug Tatum. Liv brings Tatum around, snap suplexes, and that’s Una Amiga as she rises up!

Raquel talks trash and suplexes again, but Tatum hits a DDT! The fans fire up while both women are down! Tatum and Raquel crawl, hot tags to Gigi and Liv! The fans fire up as Gigi rallies on Liv!

Gigi & Tatum fought so hard to get this chance, but they still fell short of the mark. What will it take for them to finally get some gold? And as for Liv & Raquel, will this victory help Judgment Day hold together a little longer?
Lexis King meets with Penn & Teller.
The Drama King says they’re so good at this magic stuff, the Heritage Cup has been missing since Saturday! Could they bring it back, though? The King needs his trophy. Oh, they’ll bring it back. But they have a couple of conditions. Sure thing! Okay, first: Admit that Penn & Teller can do magic. Second: Apologize. Lexis says obviously they can do magic, and he is so sorry, because clearly it is all real. But Penne didn’t finish. Lexis must defend the Cup tonight. Aw, c’mon, man! They’ve been in Vegas all weekend! He hasn’t been training, dieting, any of that! He’s been doing Vegas stuff! Well, the deal is the deal. Defend it or he doesn’t get it back. Deal? Deal.
They shake on it, and Teller goes back into the magic cage. Penn puts the curtain down and says again, Lexis must admit Penn & Teller are magic. Just look into the camera there. Lexis says Penn & Teller are magic because magic is real. And he must defend the Cup. Is he ready for that? Sure. Teller returns and behind the jacket, tada! Lexis is so happy, but now, time to defend it. But against who? Oh, that’s gonna be a surprise. Lexis sighs, but who is going to roll the dice and hit the jackpot?
No Quarter Catch Crew watches back footage.
That is to say, Wren Sinclair & Myles Borne watch Charles Dempsey & Tavion Heights have dominant performances at GCW’s Bloodsport, which is very much like NXT Underground. Wren asks Myles why he wasn’t there. Well, not sure, other than they didn’t ask. What about Wren? Well, actually- Dark State interrupts. Saquon Shugars says Myles couldn’t handle Bloodsport. He ain’t no shooter like Tavion. Wren says that’s not true. Cutler James says maybe it’d be best if the NQCC just went their separate ways now. Before Dark State breaks ’em like they did the D’Angelo Family.
Myles has Wren cool off, and he tells Dark State that when the Crew comes back, they’ll give Dark State a run for their money. Oh, is that so? Je’Von Evans walks in, and he says after Saturday, he’s up for a fight. What’s up with them? Dion Lennox says, “Man, how many times do we gotta beat you down before you learn?” Je’Von ain’t got no back up. Myles says hey, Je’Von isn’t in this alone. Myles has Je’Von’s back. Let’s see how the 2v2 goes. Oh, oaky, let’s see. Dark State heads out, Je’Von says they’ll go talk with Ava. Myles says bet, and they shake hands. Can the Young OG and #BabyOrton show not everyone is a target for Dark State?
Ricky Saints is here!
The fans cheer as The Absolute NXT North American Champion heads to the ring, victorious over “All Ego” Ethan Page. The fans cheer Ricky on has he gets the mic, and he says, “Wow! And he loves you back, baby! You know, going off of that, I kicked off WrestleMania Weekend with a bang when I successfully defended the North American Championship… against a man who is forever going to be a thorn in my side, and that is you, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page.” The fans boo that name, and Ricky says his mom agrees, as well. But the world watched this week when it was a historic two-night WrestleMania. But it was at Stand & Deliver where Ricky made good on his promise.
Everything Ricky has said he has made into reality. He is the man around here, as you can tell. The fans do cheer that. And man, Stand & Deliver was surreal, but it felt so good to do it against Ethan Page! But then Lexis King interrupts! The Drama King says now now, Ricky, hold your horses. Lexis knows Ricky had his historic win at Stand & Deliver. But Lexis has been spending all weekend running all over, looking for his precious Heritage Cup, all because those clowns, Penn & Teller, made it disappear right before his very eyes. Ricky laughs and says good for him. But what does this have to do with Ricky?
Ricky is out here, simply putting on a show. He is just confused with this right now. Lexis says he actually has some business. So before Ricky takes up his ring time, Lexis has to defend the Heritage Cup tonight. So if Ricky doesn’t get up out of here, Lexis might come back for that North American title. Oh, wow, we’re doing this again? Last week, Lexis lost that Fatal 4, so he doesn’t have a shot. Seems Lexis’ mouth keeps writing checks his lil ass can’t cash! Lexis says he loves a lot of things, but he doesn’t like smug, arrogant p*icks like Ricky that think he can get over with this gullible audience! The fans boo, but Lexis says nobody likes Ricky, but they love The King!
Lexis says Ricky is a legend in his own mind, and delusions of grandeur fill his mind. The fans chant, “Lexis Sucks!” Lexis says if Ricky’s so confident, then give Lexis a shot! Put the title on the line next week against Lexis. And there doesn’t need to be a Fatal 4 Way, no stacking the odds, Lexis has had enough of that in Vegas. So how about it? Lexis will even put his Cup on the line next week for a double title match! Cup VS Title, One Fall, Winner Takes All! Ricky says will put it like this. Lexis is a very special individual. The fact Lexis is worried about Ricky when he has a mystery opponent is very telling.
And since Ricky has a good feeling Lexis already went and talked with Ava about this, then CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! The fans fire up for that! Both men talk a bit more trash, but refs hurry out here to keep this from getting physical. The thing Lexis is forgetting is that he doesn’t know his opponent tonight! Will that man ruin the plan of a double title match by becoming the NEW Heritage Cup Champion?
Hank ‘n’ Tank hand out with #ZaRuca.
Hank Walker says check it out! New champs! Who would’ve thought? Tank Ledger isn’t sure how to wear his, because shoulder is nice, but maybe hanging off the thigh works? Hank says nah, waist or nothing, it’s traditional. But then in storms Thea Hail! She’s so excited for everyone! If it was anyone other than Thea winning the ladder match, she’s glad it was Sol. But also, she would totally do another one! It was so much fun! Climbing up ladders, bodies flying everywhere, Sol hitting the DOUBLE Sol Snatcher! Jaida Parker walks by and says please, no. After the night she had last Saturday, the last thing she needs is Thea’s energy.
Jaida leaves, but Kelani Jordan steps in. And she says she actually agrees with Miss Parker. This is not the same locker room Thea left six months ago. But then Fatal Influence walk in and Jacy Jayne sarcastically says, “Wow. I didn’t think my life could get any worse, but then you show back up.” Fallon Henley says Jacy needs to put Thea in her place once and for all. Kelani says not her problem, so she leaves. Jacy says if Fallon wants something done, she can do it herself. Jacy leads Jazmyn away, and Fallon says Jacy never could get it done, so Fallon gladly will. Thea shrugs and rolls her eyes, because the more things change, the more things are still toxic.
NXT Heritage Cup Championship: Lexis King VS ???
NXT returns and Lexis’s opponent is… NOAM DAR! Supernova 11 is back, and he’s ready to take back his beloved Heritage Cup! Will Dar once again hold up the trophy? Or will Lexis keep his plans with Ricky on track?
The introductions are made, the Cup is raised, and we see whose name will be on the plaque!
The bell rings and the fans cheer, “Welcome Back! Welcome Back!” Lexis offers a handshake, but then he kicks! Dar blocks and BOOTS Lexis down! Dar rallies with forearm after forearm, then a ROUNDHOUSE! Lexis gets up, gets around, but Dar switches, baits Lexis in, and FLIPS him over! EURO CLUTCH! TWO, and Dar blocks another kick. Lexis ENZIGIRIS but Dar DRAGON SCREWS through! And then ANKLE LOCK! Lexis endures, reaches out, and rolls, sending Dar into a corner. Lexis runs in, Dar dodges and comes back to BOOT! Dar runs side to side but then just KICKS Lexis down! The fans fire up as Dar goes side to side again, DROPKICK! Cover, TWO!
Dar fires up, the fans fire up with him, and Dar traps Lexis’ arms so Dar can “clean” that poor excuse for a beard off Lexis’ face! Lexis fights back but Dar HAMMERS away! Ghost pin, TWO! Lexis stands, Dar runs up, and Dar has a SLEEPER! Lexis stays up, reaches out, and he runs to RAM Dar into buckles! Dar crawls away, and Lexis CROWNS him with the blindside shot! Cover, TWO! Dar stays in this but Lexis steps on his face. Lexis stands Dar up for headlock punches! Dar falls back, Lexis talks trash, and Lexis drags Dar up. Lexis scrapes his boot on Dar’s face, then does it again. The fans rally for “SUPERNOVA!” but Lexis runs.
Lexis kicks but Dar blocks again! Dar then SLAPS Lexis, trips him, but Lexis gets up. They trade strikes, and then Dar KICKS, CHOPS, KICKS, KICKS, and KICKS again! Lexis SWATS a kick to CHOP Dar down! Lexis stands Dar up to CHOP, and CHOP, and whip, but Dar reverses. SOBAT! SOBAT again! But Lexis SUPERKICKS! Cover, TWO! Dar stays in this and Lexis grows frustrated! Lexis goes up the corner while fans boo, and Lexis SWANTON FLOPS! Dar aims from a corner, runs up, URAKEN! URAKEN! Lexis flops down and Dar says pinkies out! Lexis rises, into the NOVA feint and then BACK ELBOW!! Cover, DAR WINS!
Winner: Noam Dar, by pinfall (NEW NXT Heritage Cup Champion)
Right about now, Lexis is probably wishing he hadn’t removed the first-to-two-falls rule… But Dar is back on top and Lexis must crawl his way to his North American Championship with Ricky Saints. Will Lexis save face by somehow ending the revolution? Or will the North American Championship still be Absolute?
Backstage interview with Roxanne Perez.
Sarah Schreiber is with The Prodigy, and notes that after Stand & Deliver, Roxie confronted Stephanie Vaquer and Ava, and- Roxie says rightly so. Vaquer will not claim a division that Roxie built. Sarah then brings up last night, Roxie interfering with Vaquer VS Iyo Sky on Raw. Yes, she did! Because the Raw After Mania was supposed to be Roxie’s moment, but it ended up Stephanie’s. So what’d Roxie do? She made the moment that she deserved. And it felt so good, too. And not to lie, Roxie didn’t even realize Giulia had the same idea. But if Vaquer has a problem, then she should do something about it tonight!
But she won’t. Because Vaquer isn’t at 100%. She’s tired, drained, and Roxie’s been there. The media, the matches, the interviews, the appearances. Roxie knows that because she had to defend her title 48 hours after Stand & Deliver last year. But if she was anything but The Prodigy, the Slammy Award Winning Superstar of the Year, she would’ve lost. Unfortunately for Stephanie, Roxie IS The Prodigy. Vaquer may have walked into Vegas a champion, but Roxie will leave Vegas a THREE-TIME NXT Women’s Champion. Roxie sure talks a big game, but will Vaquer call her bluff? Or will Roxie actually have the winning hand tonight?
Fallon Henley w/ The Fatal Influence VS Thea Hail!
While the dysfunction continues for The Toxic Cowgirl & Toxic Rockstar, they both want to send “The Grown-Ass Woman” back to the sidelines. Will Fallon say #YEEHAW and get back on a winning track? Or will it be #HailYeah from here on out?
The bell rings and the two tie right up. Fallon powers Thea to a corner, dribbles her off buckles, then ROCKS her with a forearm! Fallon says Fallon always comes first! But Thea CLBOBERS her! And ROCKS her! The fans fire up, but Fallon gets around, pump handles, but Thea drags Fallon into a cradle! TWO, and Fallon leg scissor rolls Thea, TWO! Thea runs, Fallon scoops, but Thea arm-drags free! Thea runs and wheelbarrows, but Fallon turns arm-drag into ARMBAR! Thea clasps hands, the fans rally, and Thea stacks Fallon! TWO, and Thea wants Fallon’s arm! Fallon has the ROPEBREAK, the ref counts, and Thea lets go, only for Fallon to YANK her into ropes!
Fallon BOOTS Thea, then whips corner to corner, Fallon runs up, Thea dodges, and Thea BOOTS! Thea runs, tilt-o-whirls and RANAS! The fans fire up as Thea rallies on Fallon, then wrenches, kicks, and SLIDING LARIATS! The fans fire up while Fallon goes to a corner. Thea runs in, Fallon denies the back body block, but Thea fights free of the waistlock! Thea clinches, EXPLOD- NO, Fallon lands out of the throw, waistlocks and pump handles, FALL AWAY SLAM! Jazmyn distracts the ref, Jacy creeps up on Thea. Fallon goes out to grab Thea, Jacy runs up, but Thea gets free! Jacy BOOTS Fallon down into the steel steps!
Fallon clutches her arm, and Thea HEADBUTTS Jacy! Thea puts Fallon in the ring, then DECKS Jazmyn! Thea runs and cartwheels, underhooks, BUTTERFLY SLAM! And then KIMURA!! Fallon TAPS, Thea wins!
Winner: Thea Hail, by submission
Thea soloed Fatal Influence, and surely big things are in store for this tiny little dynamo! Will 2025 finally be the Year of Hail?
Oba Femi is here!
The fans cheer and hoot as The Ruler is still NXT Champion! Oba struts his way to the ring, and he grabs a mic to say, “At Stand & Deliver, I did exactly what I said I was going to do. Trick Williams & Je’Von Evans had all these dreams and aspirations about dethroning The Ruler and becoming the NXT Champion at Stand & Deliver. Not on my watch. Y’know what I did? I took their dreams, I set it ablaze, and I burnt it to ashes! I told them to wake up!” The fans cheer for “O~BA! HOOT!” Oba continues that during the build up, he said some things about Je’Von. Oba called him a child, said he wasn’t ready, said he couldn’t hang, and said he was immature.
Oba says regretfully so, because the Young OG is better than Oba thought he was. The fans cheer that, too! Oba says that while Je’Von’s time has not come, his best years are definitely ahead of him. Shoutout to the Young OG. The fans cheer more, and even chant “YOUNG OG! YOUNG OG!” Oba says as for Trick, there’s no love for him. Oba will say, as good as Trick is, as great as Trick is, Oba is just that much better. But wait! Trick Williams is here! But Trick isn’t in the mood for the chants, he tells Oba that it ain’t ending like that. Every single time it comes to Trick getting what’s his, Oba finds an easy way out. The only reason Oba won is because he pinned Je’Von.
Trick says it doesn’t matter if it IS Oba’s birthday, Trick wants his title back! Oba tells Trick that he gave Trick his flowers, said he was done, so what more does he want? Trick wants his 1v1! Trick ain’t no regular Joe! He Trick Willy, the man and the face of this brand! When you think about NXT, you think about Trick! Not Oba Femi! A fan shouts, “Nice heels, Trick!” Trick says yo mama likes ’em. Trick is tired of running the play, of letting others butt in, of people like Oba stealing from Trick! There’s only bums in the back, and whatever they want- “Say his name and he appears. I BELIEVE IN JOE HENDRY!”
The fans go nuts as Joe Hendry returns to NXT, holding up the TNA World Championship! Joe also a mic as he goes to the ring and the fans sing along with the song. Then Joe… TURNS! The fans chant, “WE BELIEVE! WE BELIEVE!” and Joe says, “Say his name and he appears, Joe Hendry is BACK in NXT!” Joe tells Trick that he is not the same man he tagged with back in the Fall. The rumors are true, Trick has changed! Trick used to soak in the cheers, the chants, and now all he does is soak in self-pity! Joe proved what happens when you listen to the fans, and he did it at WrestleMania! The fans cheer that, too!
Joe says he will tell Trick this because no one else will: Trick ain’t hungry, he’s entitled. Maybe the reason Trick didn’t win back the title was because of himself. Maybe, just maybe, Trick Willy is a WHINY B*TCH! The fans go nuts for that one! Trick tells Joe, “Hold on there, Minute Maid. You had your five minutes on Sunday. But since we always talk about what you believe, let’s take a minute to talk about what Trick Williams believes. I believe you don’t belong here, you’re just an outsider. I believe you don’t fit in. I believe you got your ass whooped on Sunday, let’s talk about it.” So how about Joe does us a favor and go one where he belongs while the big dogs talk.
Joe says he did lose to RKO, but at least he did it in front of over 60 THOUSAND at WrestleMania! Joe was in the ring with Randy while Trick was in the stands. And Joe will not leave because THE TNA World Champion, who will defend his title this Sunday at TNA Rebellion, has some business to discuss with THE NXT CHAMPION! The fans cheer as Joe steps to Oba. Oba tells Joe not to make the same mistake Moose did. Trick steps between both champions, but Joe ROCKSI him! Oba ROCKS him! They pinball Trick! Then they TOSS Trick to the ramp! The champions of TNA and NXT stand tall, but will we see who is THE champion of champions?
Stacks waits in the desert.
A red car pulls up, and it’s Luca! Luca asks what Stacks was thinking! Stacks and The Don, they go back to childhood! How many times has Stacks been in a pinch, and somehow, someway, Tony got him out of it? That bond took them from the streets to beings champions. Stack was Underboss for a reason! Stacks needs to make this right! Stacks tells Luca to quiet down. Does Luca know why Stacks invited him all the way out here? Aw f…. Is this going to be the end of the Consigliere in the family? Or just the end of him period?
Backstage interview with #ZaRuca.
Sarah is now with Zaria & Sol Ruca, the NEW NXT Women’s North American Champion. Congratulations, Sol. Sol says thanks, and all six women were booming, it was exhausting. But it is also exhilarating to be the new champion. As for Zaria, she came close- Liv & Raquel walk in laughing it up. Poor Zaria. Your best friend is a DOUBLE champion while Liv & Raquel are the history making, record breaking, first-ever FOUR TIME Women’s Tag Team Champions! Zaria has nada! Nothing! Cry about it~! Oh, Raquel has an idea. Maybe Zaria’s buddy can give her one of her two titles. That way, Zaria isn’t left out.
Liv says good idea. Sol says screw both of them. Nothing breaks up ZaRuca. Move along before Sol decides she wants a third belt in the collection. Liv & Raquel laugh that off, been there and done that. But keep dreaming big. Liv & Raquel leave, but can The Agent of Change change her own title fortunes?
Trick is throwing a fit backstage!
In fact, he’s throwing pipes and crates and whatever he can grab! Camera feeds cut out as he throws more stuff around! But we can at least hear Ava shout at him to stop. Trick wants his shot at Oba! Ava says he isn’t getting it acting like this! #CrashOutTrick drops the steel pipe he had, but will Ava have much more severe consequences for him?
Je’Von Evans & Myles Borne w/ Wren Sinclair VS Dark State!
As we all know, The Young OG is BOUNCY~! But then can he bounce back from his loss at Stand & Deliver with the help of #BabyOrton? Or will Osiris Griffin & Dion Lennox prove that #NoOneIsSafe?
The teams sort out, Myles starts against Dion and the two tie up. Dion powers Myles to a corner, Myles turns it around, but Dion headlocks for a takeover. Myles headscissors, Dion kips free and runs. Dion stops the hip toss, but Myles body blows, goes up and over, but Dion kinda stifles it there. Myles still wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Tag to Je’Von and the fans fire up! Je’Von climbs to AX HANDLE Dion’s arm! Je’Von wrenches but Dion ROCKS him first. Dion whips, Je’Von RANAS in return! The fans fire up as Je’Von then BOUNCY RANAS! Dion hurries away and Osiris tags in.
The fans boo as Osiris storms up. Je’Von runs up, but Osiris picks him up to RAM him into the corner! But Je’Von dodges the haymaker to fire haymakers! Osiris grabs Je’Von, TOSSES him to the corner, then runs back in. Je’Von dodge to JAB, JAB, JAB! Osiris SHOVES Je’Von, then DECKS him! The fans boo but Osiris whips Je’Von. Je’Von slides to a stop, SUPERKICKS, then DROPKICKS! Osiris tumbles out but Dion jumps in, only for Myles to DROPKICK Dion! The fans fire up as Je’Von & Myles stand tall. They think about it, and then Je’Von builds speed! Je’Von DIVES, but Osiris catches him!
The fans boo as Osiris & Dion threaten Je’Von. But Myles says he can FLY! The fans fire up as Myles takes down Dark State and stands tall with Je’Von again! Dark State regroups while NXT goes to break.
NXT returns and Je’Von fights out of the Dark State corner, only for Osiris to DECK him again! Osiris whips, Je’Von goes up and springboards, but Osiris catches him again! FALL AWAY SLAM! Osiris has a bad hand and yet he’s doing all this! Osiris drags Je’Von up to bump off buckles, then bumps him again. And again! Shugars & Cutler talk trash on Je’Von, Osiris pushes Je’Von around, then TOSSES him to the corner. Osiris drags Je’Von up, tags Dion, and they mug Je’Von. The fans boo but Dion drags Je’Von up. Dion short arm LARIATS! Cover, TWO! Dion taunts Myles while he stands over Je’Von.
Dion drags Je’Von up, brings him around, but Je’Von fires hands! The fans rally for The Young OG but Dion KICKS him down! Tag to Osiris, Osiris feeds Je’Von to Dion, and Dion pops Je’Von up! Osiris catches Je’Von for a POWERSLAM! Cover, Myles breaks it! Je’Von survives Dark State’s take on Thor’s Hammer by the War Raiders, but Osiris clamps on with a BEARHUG! Je’Von endures, the fans rally, and Je’Von fights up. JAWBREAKER! Wait, the rest of NQCC has returned, and they’re watching from the ramp. Je’Von crawls but into the Dark State corner. Osiris runs up, but Je’Von dodges! Osiris hits buckles, Dion tags in!
Je’Von hurries but Dion grabs a leg! And he ducks the enzigiri! But Je’Von slides under, leaps up, but Dion catches him! Je’Von sunset flips, TWO! Je’Von dodges and hot tags Myles! The fans fire up as Myles rallies on Dark State! LARIAT for Osiris! HAYMAKER for Dion! Myles dodges Osiris and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Myles SNAP POWERSLAMS Dion! SNAP POWERSLAM for Osiris! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY for Dion! The fans fire up with Myles, and he fireman’s carries Dion! USHIGOROSHI! Cover, Osiris breaks it! Je’Von aims, springboards, and FLYING LARIATS Osiris! The fans fire up while Osiris bails out!
Je’Von shakes the ropes, and then PLANCHAS, but into Osiris’ arms again! Osiris RAMS Je’Von, Dion SPINEBUSTERS Myles! Tag to Osiris, and they drag Myles up. DOUBLE POWERBOMB! Cover, Dark State wins!
Winners: Dark State, by pinfall
Even at just two men, this unit is unstoppable! Dempsey & Tavion aren’t sure what to make of it, but will the NQCC just have to watch their step now that Dark State runs the streets?
Shawn Spears talks with Ava.
The Chair Man hopes the NXT General Manager understands how much he truly appreciates this. He is just looking out for his friends in The Culling. Right, she understands. Spears leaves, and in steps Yoshiki Inamura. He asks if he was interrupting something. No, no, the first show after Stand & Deliver, people like to do a lot of… politicking. Inamura doesn’t understand why people complain. They don’t understand how good they have it. Inamura says his time is coming to an end, he must return to NOAH in Japan. He thanks her for the opportunity he had here, and she says it was an honor to have him here.
Inamura says she deserves more respect, but then he hesitates to continue. She asks what’s wrong. Inamura says he just feels bad. He and Briggs almost had the tag team titles. Briggs steps in and asks what’s wrong. Is he okay? Yes, daijobu. Ava has an idea. Next week, one more shot at the tag titles. Briggs & Inamura thank Ava, and Inamura hugs Ava. Ava wishes them luck, and Briggs asks how he just did that. Inamura smiles and says, “Old Japanese secret.” Briggs and Inamura both smile and Briggs is all fired up. But will this little trick get Briggs & Inamura the big win they’ve been after?
Tony D’Angelo is in the hotel.
The Don knocks on a door, and he tells Rizzo to open up. Rizzo opens the door slightly and Tony asks if he’s gonna let her in. Did anyone follow him here? No, it’s just him. Rizzo lets The Don in, and she’s already packed. She can’t believe Stacks did that to them. How’s Tony feeling? He’s good, physically. But y’know… Rizzo says sorry about that. How’s Luca? Wait, Rizzo hasn’t heard from him? No. Tony heard Luca was going to clear his head, but that was a few hours ago. What’s Tony thinking? He isn’t sure. But Tony… Tony has Rizzo stop there. He and Stacks will have to have it out. But Tony, is it really like that? They grew up together!
Rizzo knows they’ve been through a lot, and remembers how Big Ange used to bully her. Stacks is the one who taught her how to fight. Ange made Rizzo cry every day, until one day, Rizzo made Ange cry. Rizzo promised Stacks she’d always be loyal. Tony says people change. Stacks hasn’t been right for awhile now. What if they had a sit down? Tony appreciates the sentimentality, but he doesn’t trust Stacks. There are two things they don’t stand for: Rats and traitors. Tony can’t sit down, Stacks declared war. Tony can’t put Rizzo at risk because he doesn’t know what Stacks is capable of. What’s that mean?
Tony tells Adrianna that she sees he’s packed. But she can’t go home, it’s not safe there, either. Tony has their guys waiting to get her to a safe house. Tony needs Rizzo to hide out until this all blows over. Is he sure about this? Tony assure her it’ll be alright. They hug it out, but has The Underboss turned everything upside-down for the D’Angelos?
Backstage interview with Ricky Saints.
Sarah is with The Absolute, and says what was going to be Title VS Cup is now just a match for the North American Championship. Sure is, and Ricky is thrilled for Noam Dar. Ricky knows what it is to be out for close to a year with injury and feel forgotten. So if anybody’s gonna be Heritage Cup, Ricky is glad it is Noam. But Ricky is a man of his word, and he said he’d defend his title, and guess what? He will. Ricky tells Lexis that he’s got everything to gain and nothing to lose. But then in steps Ethan Page. If it isn’t the man that took at Noam himself. Sarah steps aside, and Ethan just says, “Saints.” LEXIS CLOBBERS RICKY!
Lexis says Ricky cost him that Cup! Now, Lexis will take Ricky’s title! The Drama King storms off, and Ethan says they can pick this up another time. Ethan leaves, and Ricky is finding himself on the back foot again. Will the revolution still be televised after he and Lexis have it out next week?
Someone walks back into the building.
It’s back in Orlando where a certain someone brings a briefcase to an office. He opens it up, and he brings out a Chase U sweater! Mr. Chase says, “We’re effin’ back, baby!” Class is back in session, but will this new term be the best one ever?
NXT Women’s Championship: Stephanie Vaquer VS Roxanne Perez!
La Primera defied the odds when she won Stand & Deliver’s epic Fatal 4 Way, but The Prodigy once again exceled at making things about herself. Roxie claims she should’ve been headlining Stand & Deliver, headlining Raw After Mania, and basically anything else that someone else was doing. But will Roxie end up doing what she did on Saturday and lose? Or will she find a way to be the THREE-TIME NXT Women’s Champion?
NXT returns as the Dark Angel makes her entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly the best of the best in the best women’s division today!
The bell rings and the fans fire up as the two circle. Roxie pushes Vaquer around, but Vaquer pushes back. Vaquer blocks a slap, then wrenches the arm. Vaquer puts Roxie in a corner, Roxie turns things around and pulls hair! The ref counts, Roxie steps back, but Vaquer shoots in and waistlocks! Vaquer SLAMS Roxie down, then facelocks. Roxie wrenches out, Vaquer rolls, but Roxie hits a cover, TWO! Roxie wrenches and wristlocks, but Vaquer trips her to a toehold. The fans rally behind Vaquer, and Vaquer floats to a facelock. Roxie wrenches, hammerlocks, but Vaquer rolls and trips Roxie. But Roxie spins to victory roll, TWO! Vaquer has the cover, TWO!
The fans cheer as the two stand off and reset. They circle, feel things out, and knuckle lock. Vaquer stands on one hand and wrenches the other to then have a motorcycle stretch! Roxie endures, fights up, and spins things around, but Vaquer drops! Victory roll, TWO! Roxie runs up, Vaquer sweeps and covers, ONE! Roxie sweeps and covers, ONE! Roxie wrenches an arm, steps over, LA MAGISTROL, TWO! Vaquer grabs Roxie with body scissors, roll and bridge, TWO! Both women stand up and the fans fire up again! The fans cheer “NXT! NXT!” for making this main event possible, but then Roxie kicks Vaquer low!
Roxie headlocks, but Vaquer powers her to the ropes. Vaquer powers out but Roxie THROWS Vaquer by her hair! Roxie “kicks dirt,” then runs, but Vaquer drops down, hurdles over, then blows past to come back, and she stuffs the monkey flip to a cover, TWO! Roxie dodges, whips, and runs up, to RAM Vaquer in a corner! Roxie ROCKS Vaquer, wrenches an arm, and then whips corner to corner. Roxie runs up, Vaquer goes up and over then comes back. Roxie headlocks Vaquer, grinds her down, and the fans rally up. Vaquer powers up, but Roxie hits a takeover. Vaquer headscissors, Roxie kips free, and Roxie storms up to headlock again.
Vaquer powers up to hit a BIG back suplex! Vaquer sits Roxie up, the fans cheer, and we get the headscissors! But Roxie rolls and rolls and makes it to the apron! The fans boo but Vaquer has to let go. Vaquer drags Roxie back but Roxie has the apron skirt! The ref fixes the skirt, but Roxie CLAWS Vaquer’s eyes! Roxie whips, Vaquer reverses, but Roxie goes up to BOOT her! Roxie KNEE DROPS the bad arm! The fans boo but Roxie takes a bow, and NXT goes picture in picture.
Roxie grabs the bad arm, and drops a KNEE on it! Roxie soaks up the heat, drags Vaquer around, and then stands Vaquer up to wrench and wrench, to then ARM BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Roxie is frustrated already but she drags Vaquer up. Roxie SMACKS Vaquer off the mat, then stomps her in the corner. The ref counts, Roxie backs off, then Roxie goes up to dig both boots in! The ref counts, Roxie STOMPS Vaquer’s arm! Roxie mockingly applauds, then she drags Vaquer up to wrench the arm. Roxie and Vaquer struggle for control, and Vaquer wrenches to ROCK Roxie! Roxie ROCKS Vaquer! Roxie then wrenches and THROWS Vaquer down!
Roxie stands on the arm, soaks up the heat, and drops KNEES again! Roxie isolates the bad arm, soaks up more heat, and0 NO, Vaquer dodges the stomp! Vaquer rolls Roxie up, TWO!

Winner: Stephanie Vaquer, by pinfall (still NXT Women’s Champion)
It may just be a Tuesday, but these two were able to stand and deliver a memorable main event! But wait! GIULIA is here! The Beautiful Madness is still in Sin City, and she still wants this title back. Wait, Jordynne Grace lurks in the shadows! NXT may be leaving Vegas, but will Vaquer have to go double or nothing with contenders again?
My Thoughts:
A great NXT After Mania to keep this great time in Las Vegas going. Great tag title match from Liv & Raquel VS Tatum & Gigi, but of course Liv & Raquel won. Good promo from Liv & Raquel with ZaRuca to set up a feud there, and I would think Liv & Raquel win the tag title match then, too. Perhaps it causes ZaRuca to split up so that Zaria and Sol Ruca fight over the Women’s North American Championship. Also, good promo segment from ZaRuca with Hank ‘n’ Tank, though it quickly became more about Thea Hail and the rest of the Women’s Division. Jaida’s still got attitude, Kelani’s adding to hers, and the dysfunction grows within The Fatal Influence.
Thea VS Fallon was a great match, especially as Thea’s continuing her return. I would think Thea’s win here means she could be moving up to a title story, but we’ll see if The Fatal Influence keeps wanting after her or if they implode already. Should that happen, I would think Jazmyn takes Jacy’s side, just like she did in following Jacy out of the room. And nice to see Mr. Chase returning to the classroom to start up Chase U again. Obviously Kale Dixon & Uriah Connor will join up, and hopefully some other young names that have yet to really shine can join up. Still a bit disappointed they released Duke Hudson and then demoted Riley Osborne to Evolve, but that’s business, I guess.
Good bit with Ava in her office, with some intrigue from what Spears might be asking for, and then the “Old Japanese Secret” from Inamura. If Inamura is set to go back to NOAH soon, I don’t really see him and Briggs winning the titles. Even so, Inamura & Briggs being hosses like Hank ‘n’ Tank, that’ll be a great match next week. Great little promo from Lexis King with Penn & Teller and then with Ricky Saints to get us to both the Heritage Cup match tonight and the North American title next week. Noam Dar finally returning is great, and him getting that Heritage Cup off Lexis is certainly good for Dar. Just not sure Meta Four regroups at this point…
Meanwhile, I would think Ricky retains his title against Lexis, because clearly Ethan wants one more shot and might get it for Battleground: Tampa. And clearly Dark State’s next feud is going to be with the NQCC, and it seems Je’Von will be sticking with NQCC to help them have even numbers. Good tag match from Je’Von & Myles VS Osiris & Dion, but it makes sense Dark State wins when Je’Von & Myles haven’t teamed before. We’ll definitely get more good tag matches with the different combinations before having the big 8 Man Tag, probably also at Battleground.
Great stuff with Trick, Oba and now Joe Hendry. Trick is rather persistent about getting that final 1v1 title match, but I feel like he’ll end up having to fight Joe Hendry first. And either way, I don’t see Trick winning the title back, he’s headed for main roster at this point. Great stuff with the Women’s Championship story, too. Vaquer VS Roxie was an awesome main event, but much like Trick, Roxie is destined for the main roster, she lost to essentially have her goodbye. Good stuff with Giulia making a direct appearance while Jordynne Grace is a bit more subtle, and clearly they both want their 1v1 shots at Vaquer. I feel like Giulia and Jordynne will have to battle to see who gets Vaquer at Battleground, then the other can be for like whatever SummerSlam tie-in event we get.
The craziest stuff to me from tonight was the D’Angelo Family story. While this isn’t the first time the D’Angelos kayfabe unalived someone as a way of that wrestler from moving on (Two Dimes and Kemp being released, Pretty Deadly being called up), I’m shocked Stacks went after Luca rather than tried to recruit him. For one, Luca’s on Evolve! Is Evolve going to address this tomorrow night? Good promo from Tony and Rizzo, too, and I feel like Tony VS Stacks is not only going to be something hardcore, but it’ll likely be for control of The Family. As I said for Stand & Deliver, neither guy can really be top champion in NXT if they’re still attached to the other, especially in the case of Stacks being a right hand man rather than a solo act, or even the NEW Don of NXT.
My Score: 8.9/10
