PLAY BY PLAY

Rampage Brown VS Wolfgang!

While he wanted the Iron King of Gallus, Rampage is willing to take on the Last King of Scotland to bide his time. Will Wolfie give as good as he gets when brawling with Brown?

The bell rings the two approach. They circle, tie up, and go around. Wolfgang gets a cravat, cranks the neck, and snapmares to a cover. ONE as Rampage bridges up and cravats right back! Wolfgang throws Rampage off and the two start throwing hands! Wolfgang headlocks, Rampage powers out, things speed up and Rampage dropkicks Wolfgang down! BT Sports Studios likes that, and they like Rampage throwing EuroUppers! Wolfgang hits back, Rampage whips but Wolfgang reverses and dropkicks in return! Rampage checks his teeth, Wolfgang whips him hard corner to corner!

Wolfgang keeps on Rampage with haymakers, Rampage shoves back and then dodges the crossbody! Wolfgang hits buckles, Rampage BOOTS Wolfgang to the outside! Rampage goes out after Wolfgang, the brawling continues and the ref counts. Wolfgang fireman’s carries, Rampage throws elbows, but Wolfgang POSTS Rampage going backwards! Rampage falls over and clutches an arm, but Wolfgang refreshes the ring count. Rampage throws hands anyway! Wolfgang hits back, puts Rampage in the ring, and has him in a corner. Rampage kicks back, throws forearms with the good hand, but Wolfgang whips him into a corner, then scoops for a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!

Wolfgang keeps cool and clamps onto Rampage with a seated cobra twist. Rampage resists so Wolfgang shifts to body scissors! Wolfgang squeezes, Rampage endures, but Wolfgang adds a chinbar! Rampage endures more, pries at the legs, but Wolfgang claws at a shoulder. Wolfgang squeezes tighter, CLUBS Rampage on the back, then clamps onto a shoulder again. Rampage digs elbows into Wolfgang’s knee! Rampage is free and he DECKS Wolfgang! Wolfgang throws body shots, Rampage throws a headbutt! They throw more forearms back and forth, Wolfgang headbutts the bad arm! Wolfgang hops up to SPLASH the standing Rampage! Cover, TWO!

Wolfgang watches as Rampage writhes. Wolfgang strikes the Gallus crossed-arm pose, and then gets Rampage up. Rampage fights the scoop, then fireman’s carries for a SAMOAN DROP! Both men are down, gasping for air, and BT Sports Studio rallies up. Wolfgang goes to a corner, Rampage is after him, but the bad arm makes the whip fail! Wolfgang runs and SPEARS Rampage down! Cover, TWO! Wolfgang is right back after the seated cobra twist! Rampage powers up to hip toss free! Rampage staggers into body shots! Wolfgang runs in but into a KNEE! Rampage POSTS Wolfgang, then runs to LARIAT!

Rampage drags Wolfgang back up, powers through the pain to gut wrench and DOCTOR BOMB!! Cover, Rampage wins!!

Winner: Rampage Brown, by pinfall

That was definitely a fight worthy of these two hulking heavyweights! But will Rampage be able to bounce back to get that rematch with Joe Coffey?

 

NXT UK Media catches up with Ashton Smith.

Smith gets a good workout in, but they ask how he’s finding being a new father on top of being a superstar? Smith says this has given him a new lease on life. Teoman comes over to congratulate Smith. Family is the most important thing. They’re their for you during the darkest times and in the happiest times. So just do Teoman a favor: Enjoy your time with your family. But uh, where’s Oliver Carter? He’s still not here? Isn’t he family? Teoman’s two-faced compliments are surely on Smith’s mind. What does the Babo of NXT UK have in store for Smith & Carter?

 

Aoife Valkyrie speaks.

“I have it set in my head what success looks like. Now I know that failure is a part of success. If you learn from defeat, you haven’t really lost. This just means I Have to work harder now.” The Valkyrie rises up from falling down. “No one tells a bird how high they can soar. That’s up to me. A person can be as great as they want to be. You just have to keep looking to what’s next. For so long, I’ve looked inward. And now I’m ready to look forward.” She is finally ready to fly. What heights will she reach now that she’s spread her wings?

 

Gallus finds Rampage backstage.

Joe knows he and Rampage have unfinished business. But Joe will give Rampage time to heal up. When Rampage is ready, Joe will come find him. See you then. When and where will we get yet another brutal battle?

 

Xia Brookside VS Amale!

The young second generation superstar wanted to be in last week’s NXT UK Women’s Championship #1 Contender’s Gauntlet match, but a certain someone attacked her so badly, Brookside couldn’t compete until now. Will the French Hope regret trying to snake her way into the spotlight?

The bell rings and Xia rushes right at Amale, who runs to ropes for defense. Amale shouts about the ropebreak, the ref has Xia back off, and Amale tries to get a shot in, but Xia is ready! Xia CLUBS Amale back, whips her to a corner, but Amale reveres. Xia goes up and over and dropkicks back! Xia runs in and hops up to hit a monkey flip! Amale scrambles, Xia gets a leg and drags Amale to a cover, TWO! Xia keeps on Amale with a wrench, a YANK of the arm, and a CLUB of the shoulder! Xia KICKS the arm, YANKS the arm, and goes after the wrist. Amale shoves Xia to ropes, gets around and trips Xia up to drag her out, and RAM her into the apron!

The ref counts, Amale RAMS Xia into barriers! Amale seethes, drags Xia up and puts her in. Amale hurries after Xia but Xia headbutts low! Amale CLUBS and stomps Xia down! Amale scoops and SLAMS Xia, then drops an elbow! Cover, TWO! Xia grits her teeth and gets to a corner but Amale pushes her around. Xia kicks back, but Amale comes back with a mudhole stomp! The ref counts, Amale lets off, and goes side to side to BOOT WASH! Amale drags Xia to a cover, TWO! Xia isn’t done just yet and Amale is even angrier! Amale whips Xia into a corner then SPLASHES! Cover, ONE!! Xia is defiant, but Amale pushes her around again.

Xia headbutts low, but Amale whips her to a corner hard! Xia sits down, Amale smiles and mocks Xia’s dance moves. Xia throws body shots and forearms! Amale CLUBS her down, shoves her to a corner, and runs in, but Xia dodges! Xia dodges again and dropkicks Amale down! Fans rally with Xia as she whips. Amale reverses, but Xia tilt-o-whirl headscissors! Xia demands Amale get up, and then hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Xia grows frustrated, and she drags Amale up to reel her in. Amale wrenches, ROCKS Xia and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Xia survives and Amale is beside herself!

Amale whips Xia to a corner again, runs in but Xia BOOTS her down! Xia hops up, but Amale YANKS her off the corner! Amale hauls Xia up, fisherman SPINEBUSTER! High stack, Amale wins!!

Winner: Amale, by pinfall

The French Hope should call herself the French FURY, because her rage is what won her this match! Will that same rage take Amale all the way to the women’s title?

 

NXT UK Media interviews Sha Samuels.

They want a quick word, but the East End Butcher couldn’t care less, he’s busy with a crossword puzzle. But in walks Nathan Frazer. Sha tells Frazer to “jog on, ya mug.” But Frazer just wants to say, Sha’s been making quite the habit of sticking his nose in Frazer’s business. Sha says Frazer doesn’t want to fight him, he couldn’t handle it. He’s intimidated by Sha! But if he wants to see Sha fight, go get a grown-up to fight him. Oh so you’re fighting Noam Dar’s battles now? Frazer snatches the newspaper away and tells him they’re going to have a match. Sha dares him to, and Frazer says he’ll go talk to Sid Scala right now! Frazer heads out, will he prove to Sha he belongs?

 

NXT UK presents an all new Supernova Sessions!

Noam Dar welcomes us “live from the Moon,” and can barely contain his excitement. Without further ado, the SNS debut of Ilja Dragunov! Ilja walks out on stage and Dar welcomes him to the guest chair while he gets the couch. Dar knows Iljia is a fan of the show, so this is something special just for him. Dar wants to make this a safe space so Ilja can work through his inner demons. This is now the Supernova Spa! Let the music and good vibes take him to his happy place. Whether that’s Serbia, the Gulag, wherever. This is where we are going to get deep into the problems on Ilja’s mind.

Dar has his own spa robe. He has one for Ilja, too. Well, wait, where is it? They have the dino print. He likes dinos, right? Anyway, what are we to do with Ilja? Ilja asks Dar what that is. Buddha teaches us that holding onto anger is like drinking poison, hoping another person suffers. Dar asks where the rage started. Where did the demons come from? Was it the brutal loss to Walter? Just let it out, man. Ilja is glad Dar knows him so well. Dar is right. Ilja lost something in that match. Not just the chance at the championship, but there’s this pain. Ilja felt it for weeks after. Every person that’s stood in his way was in his path of destruction. Dar wants Ilja to take a deep breath.

Ilja promises he’s not that person anymore. He’s not? No. Ilja’s sitting here telling Dar he isn’t angry. Breaking Dave Mastiff’s nose isn’t related? Ilja knows what he does has consequences. So he’s learned? Well Dar wants Ilja to leave here with another lesson. Dar has a gift to help Ilja continue his process. Whenever it is Ilja goes to Russia or Germany or whatever, and you start feeling all angry, just grab little Lenny the therapy dog (stuffed animal) here, pet him, count to ten if you know how to count that high, and go to your happy place. Ilja says he wants to leave a few words with Dar. This is so funny, huh? Dar is funny. Like a clown! And this is the circus!

Ilja wants Dar to know what his position is in this brand: violence. If Dar invites Ilja here just to trigger him, Ilja can still hurt him very, very, badly. This is what Dar was talking about! Ilja is in denial. Looking at him, Ilja is jut a fake! This is a persona! Dar is real, Ilja. Dar sees the scared little boy in Ilja. Ilja is scared of Walter, and he’s scared of Dar, too! And he should be, because Dar’s magic left foot will send Ilja to another dimension! Ilja would love to see him try. Dar is not a clown, Ilja’s the clown. Play that funky music! Ilja leaves without taking Lenny, but then comes back to take him after all. Will Ilja take Dar up on the offer to get in the ring?

 

NXT UK Media caught up with Sam Gradwell.

The Thunderstorm has the cameras follow him as he storms into Sid Scala’s office. “Sid, I think you know that this has to be one of the most hazardous work environments in the entire United Kingdom. Last week, I was viciously assaulted in the work place by Trent Seven.” Sam won’t press charges, but he wants payback! He wants to rattle Seven’s jowls, wobble the kidneys, and singe off that mustache! How about that? Sid says he will talk to Johnny Saint, and Sam says he better. In a minute, yogurt! Sid makes a call, will Seven and Gradwell battle it out in the ring one more time?

 

Sid Scala has an announcement!

The Assistant GM of NXT UK has huge matches straight from Johnny Saint! First, Noam Dar VS Ilja Dragunov will happen! And so will the huge rematch of Joe Coffey VS Rampage Brown! Both are in two weeks, get ready for quite the start to the Summer!

A-Kid: 0; Bate: 0

BT Sports Studio likes the exchange as both men cool off. Round two starts and they step right to each other. They feel things out, tie up and AK headlocks to a takeover fast!

AK moves around, turns Bate over, kips free and has the legs locked up! AK wants the arms, headbutts Bate in the back, to get CATTLE MUTILATION! Bate endures as we’re under a minute, but AK shifts to a motorcycle stretch. Seven rallies up, Bate fights up but AK keeps the hold on! Bate keeps trying, we’re at 30 seconds as the two fight for control. Bate turns things around, they go around, and AK turns things right back! But Bate flips to kangaroo kick free again!

Ten seconds, they circle again, tie up and AK headlocks, but Bate powers out! AK holds ropes to stop himself, and the round is over!

A-Kid: 0; Bate: 0

Bate smiles as he and AK again cool off and refresh. Seven is confident Bate can figure this one out, and it’s time for round three! AK and Bate take a little more time circling now, Bate trying to bait with a leg. AK lets it be, prefers to go for an arm. They tie up, AK gets around but Bate pries the waistlock.

Bate powers up, powers through, and suplexes to a BRAINBSUTER!! We’re under 10 seconds, Bate has to hurry to the cover, but the round is over!!

A-Kid: 0; Bate: 0

Seven is feeling the frustration on Bate’s behalf as AK is saved by the bell! We’re deep into this match, still no score, but AK is having an understandably hard time recovering. The fifth round begins and the two circle again. Bate avoids AK’s kicks, and even eggs him on a little. They tie up with knuckle locks, Bate reels AK in for a shoulder!

Bate claws, reaches, but AK has the arm again! Seven shouts to Bate, AK headbutts the arm!

Ten seconds left, Bate endures even as AK hooks the arm with a leg!! Bate is not giving in and we make it to the end of the fifth!!

A-Kid: 0; Bate: 0

Incredible! This late into a British Rounds match and we are still where we started! Seven makes sure Bate is alright, but Bate tells him not to ever throw in the towel.

AK wobbles, but SUPERKICKS and rolls, but Bate sits down for a prawn hold!! BATE GETS THE FALL! BATE WINS!!

Winner: Tyler Bate, by pinfall (NEW NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion)

A-Kid is in shock! It was such a hard fought defense, but with 2 minutes and 2 seconds still left in the round, Bate takes the cup from him! The Big Strong Boy is the second-ever holder of the Heritage Cup, and AK hands it over personally to show he still respects his former mentor. Will El Nino Anonimo come back for the cup one day? How far will Bate take this trophy and grow his legacy?


My Thoughts:

A great episode, especially that main event. Rampage VS Wolfgang was a good opening, and I like that while Rampage of course won, and two weeks seems a reasonable time for recovery before we get Rampage VS Joey again. I’m sure if TakeOver: Dublin was still on schedule, it would’ve been saved for then, but now we’ll get that on a special episode of NXT UK. We got a curious promo with Teoman and Ashton Smith, a good vignette from Aoife and good interactions between Frazer with Sha and Gradwell with Scala. Building towards Frazer VS Sha was a given after Sha helped Dar screw Frazer over, and surely Gradwell VS Seven could be part of a big Summer episode.

Xia VS Amale was a very good match, especially on the aggression. Amale winning was a surprise but it makes sense if this turns into a feud. Plus, there need to be strong Heels once a Face finally take the NXT UK Women’s Championship off Kay Lee Ray. Supernova Sessions was pretty good, but I felt like they could’ve done more with it, like actually having the footage of Ilja brutalizing Jack Starz and Sam Gradwell. The stuffed animal therapy dog was a nice touch, though. Dar VS Dragunov is going to be awesome stuff, and is a major step for Dragunov’s slow burn build back to the top.

That Heritage Cup match was the best one yet, and they masterfully crafted that story. I would not have thought it’d be a walk-off pinfall that won it. Bate basically had to win, because I don’t see him doing a crisis of confidence type story with Seven there to support him. Moustache Mountain can always come back around down the line, but it is great that Bate makes history being the first person to be WWE/NXT UK Champion, NXT Tag Team Champion and now Heritage Cup Champion for not quite a Triple Crown but close enough. Though who knows, NXT might have to sort that out for themselves. The cup is meant to be a midcard achievement like the North American Championship or even Cruiserweight Championship.

As for A-Kid, perhaps going through the crisis of confidence can help him. He’s a young guy, he’s got a lot of career ahead, and he shot up pretty high pretty quickly, so maybe he can take some time having a long feud that builds more of his character, something that gives him either more swagger or more edge that he can then use in the return to the Heritage Cup British Rounds Division.

My Score: 8.4/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.8.2025

We get to see Alicia Fox in action and a dog collar match! Definitely an odd combination, so let’s see what happens!

Published

on

As I feel like I say every week, the best parts of TNA are on NXT. I really can’t tolerate Dreamer and Delirious’ idea of creative. This shows have been slapdash early 00s MTV humor and nonsense angles. We open the show with Trick Williams, so of course you know he’s gonna be a dick and Hendry’s gonna try and get even.

At least this spawned an interesting concept with the TNA Heavyweight Championship being defended on NXT Battleground. So it’s nice that Hendry and TNA are getting exposure, but honestly it’s only Hendry, and the constant milking on the TNA side of “hearing from Hendry” is making me ill.

I feel like I’ve seen Johnny Gobs all over since Nekrogoblikon came out with new music. Not mad at it, just didn’t have that on my Bingo card.

 

Ratings:

  • Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck – *
  • Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors: Aztec Warriors win via Laredo Driver + Arabian Moonsault – * 1/2
  • Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands: Ali wins via Crucifix Blade Runner – ** 3/4
  • Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks: Victoria wins via Flying Axe Kick – Squash
  • Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury: Maclin retains via KIA – ***

Results:

Hey look, Trick comes out and does exactly what I said. He’s arrogant, he’s basically doing his own version of a Ric Flair promo. I do like the line about having two girls, one named Lexis who drives a Mercedes and Mercedes who drives a Lexus. It’s that right balance of dumb and clever to make me chuckle. Hendry of course comes out with his game face on, security tries, fails, and Hendry gets a measure of revenge.

Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck

Okay even though I don’t mind Xia as a wrestler anymore, Brookside is on commentary and she’s…awful. She’s like an Arianna Grace with no charisma. Her little integrity shtick got lame halfway through the word the first time she said it.

This match goes about how you expect which is why it’s not much to discuss. Rosemary does her usually brawling, biting and using the 5 counts with the Upside Down. But as expected, she tries to use the Brass Knucks, Xia comes off of commentary to stop her from using the weapon, and Lei catches her with Thunderstruck. I guess this was supposed to keep the Xia angle with some heat, but it’s really dumb. I don’t want to see any more of this Angel vs Demon, which one will turn crap. It’s boring, it’s cliche and for babies.

At least Lei Ying Lee is gorgeous and one hell of a wrestler. Hopefully she gets away from Rosemary and Xia soon.

Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors

Laredo and Octagon take early turns on Jason Hotch, Octagon even pulls off some rope acrobatics like he thinks he’s Rey Fenix. Hands try to take a few shortcuts, but the actions stays quick, the Cali crowd is behind the Luchadors. Stereo Tijeras, Five Hole Dive from Laredo into an Asai Moonsault from Octagon. Laredo Driver into Handstand Arabian Moonsault, and Aztec Warriors win handily.

After the fact Ali attacks the Aztec Warriors, Tasha and the Hands are trying to calm down Ali but then the Rascalz run out. Maybe we’re getting an early start to the Trey vs Ali match. 

Image

Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands

Hopefully this is something worth actually typing about instead of WCW Thunder level of rushed throwaway trash.

They trade early chops, but Ali is pissed, no sells Trey and rocks him with a Forearm. Trey tries to Baseball Slide through the legs and roll into a Sunset Flip, but Ali rolls through, comes up with Trey and Powerbombs him moving immediately into Ground and Pound. Ali goes for a Reverse Powerslam, but Trey escapes it, tries to use his quickness, trips up Ali for a second as he goes to the apron and then he catches Trey in the ropes and hits the Draping DDT off the apron. Outside In Neckbreaker from Ali into a Standing Tornillo.

Ali throws Trey into the ropes, Trey tries something but Ali catches him, flips him vertical and then Dragon Suplex looks nasty. Ali heads back to the apron, wants the Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker, but Trey catches him with a Cutter! Trey puts a little Shake Rattle and Roll together, Ali tries to block the last one so Trey hits the ropes and lands a Lionsault. Ali powders and eats a Dive, Trey throws him back in, Meteora! 1-2-kick out! Trey gets a little frustrated but tries a front facelock, they trade cradles, Ali throws him to the ropes, Trey tries that Rewind Tiger Feint, but Ali hits a Missile Dropkick. Ali tells the Hands to finish things but Wentz comes out flying. Ali drives Wentz into the post, throws Trey back in and mouths off to Wentz. When he turns he eats Trey’s Knee Slide Tornado DDT.

Tasha distracts the ref, Hands attack Trey with a Double Choke Bomb on the Apron and Ali kills Trey with Crucifix Blade Runner.

Hardys come out to talk, they get a solid pop from the crowd, but nothing interesting gets said. The old “we let you down” promo and they’re trying to get across a fandom nickname of “Diehardyz” and that’s corny. They punctuate their part before the Nemeths of course come out with some Obsolete and Delete references. Ryan starts talking and gets booed loudly, so that’s nice, they both play in it well. Ryan makes some goofy faces, Nic and him poke fun at the Hardys and the fact that Jeff can’t come to Canada because he’s prohibidabido. 

So Santino comes out, says next week Jeff and Nic will have a singles match, so Matt will get a tag match against the Nemeths with a partner of his choosing. Kind of a stock standard promo, but the Nemeths and Santino made it fun. 

Huh, coming back from commercial there’s a video package from WWE showing the last time Jeff Hardy and Nic Nemeth had a match. 16 years ago. 

Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks

Brittnie is Chris Bey’s girlfriend and Alicia was always one of my favorites.

Victoria clocks Brittnie early, but Brittnie fires back, Victoria gets annoyed, hits her beautiful Northern Lights Suplex Hold for only a two. Victoria drives Brittnie into the corner, Brittinie tries to fight out, but Victoria catches her with a Tumbling Headscissors Take Over and then a Flying Axe Kick. Victoria’s gorgeous self wins, and Victoria looked pretty decent in the squash.

Masha comes out, attacks Victoria, so Tessa makes a save. Santino makes a tag match next week Blanshard and Crawfish vs Slamabitch and a partner of her choosing. Robert Stone overrides Santino and picks her partner for her and chooses Nikkita Lyons. 

Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury

EY sandbags in the corner at the bell and then catches Maclin with an opportune yank of the chain and then starts a little dirty boxing and chain choking. Cardona is out on commentary because there’s a number 1 contender match next week for the International title. EY grinds the chain across Maclin’s face and the bridge of his nose, and he’s bleeding 40 seconds into the match.

Maclin powders but since it’s a dog collar match the jabronis get involved immediately. Maclin is bleeding like his last name is Rhodes, the jabronis get in some pot shots and EY just whips him with the chain, uses the post, just goes for classic deliberately paced hardcore brawl tactics. Maclin does manage to get a small flurry, EY does the Flair Corner Flop, then EY and the jabronis eat a SCUD before we go to commercial.

We come back, Maclin is back to getting murdered, and now all the potential number 1 contenders and either on commentary, the ramp or in the back watching a monitor. Even Mance Warner looks a little concerned and horny at the same time with the blood. Maclin is so bloody he looks like a post explosion scene from The Boys. Maclin fires, whips EY in the ropes, grabs him mid run, Headbutts him a few times, Jumping Thesz Press into the Ground and Pound with some chain whips. Jabronis come in and eat a Busakiu and Backbreaker, EY tries to take advantage but EY eats an Olympic Slam. Another Busaiku for EY, Jar Headbutt connects! EY kicks out at two, then powders but Maclin follows and wraps the chain around his neck and starts throwing EY around by the throat. Dorks fly at Maclin, he deflects them, but EY yanks the chain and Maclin falls off the apron. EY throws him back in, another two count. EY heads to the top, Maclin crotches him, bald Jabroni eats a Powerbomb, hair Jabroni heads a Buckle Bomb. EY slips the Tree, so Maclin puts the jabronis in the corner, Stacked Tag Em and Bag Em, Nerds get Caught in the Crosshairs!

EY sees the chance, kick to the gut, Piledriver! 1-2…KICK OUT! EY calls for the Macho Elbow but Maclin gets up, pulls him off the top with the chain and KIA! Maclin retains!

 

Overall Score: 4/10

A generally disappointing episode. The first hour felt like WCW Thunder written by Meth addicted Racoons. But the second hour starting with Mustafa, turned out to be okay. I’ve always enjoyed Alicia Fox aesthetically and she wasn’t bad in the ring, Mustafa being edgy is cool, Ryan Nemeth is a treasure, Tessa is still great and the dog collar match was decent.

So a mixed bag definitely. Rosemary is honestly useless anymore. She only gets a pop because of the gimmick, but her storylines have sucked, her matches aren’t great and this whole Infantile Sting knockoff of trying to stick to her morals and integrity and not do the mean things. Aztec Warriors are basic lucha stuff with no gimmick beyond the fact they’re luchadors. Lastly, the Trick Flair opening segment was okay at best but really just just paint by numbers.

It’s a sad turn of events when my favorite wrestling program anymore is WWE main roster stuff. Yikes…2025 is weird.

Toni Storm is here!

Or rather, she’s still here given just last night, the TIMELESS AEW Women’s World Champion won a Fatal 4 Way Eliminator. And now she’s in the special box seat “balcony” with mic in hand. Detroit cheers and she blows kisses before saying, “So many men have taken a shot at me in here, I’m feeling like Abraham Lincoln. I will never forget my first. It was messy, it was sweaty, and painful. But I only wanted more. Once a month, once a week, twice a week, I was hooked. But then, it only became more risky. One at a time, then two at a time. And three at a time! Incorporating random objects, all the while being watched by perverts.”

The fans cheer being perverts but then Toni says, “One day, it will not end well for me. It will break my body and soil my soul. But in the end, I know it’s what I was born to do. And if you think I was referring to sexual intercourse, then get your minds out of the gutter!” Toni takes a moment before she continues, “Because the best bang could not compare to fighting for this!” She holds up the title and the fans cheer more! “I am not waiting for a Hayter or a CEO. So next week, line up the next batch of slop tarts, because baby wants to binge!” The fans also like the sound of that! Toni says spit on it and sit on it, and let’s get TIMELESS~!

The fans applaud and Toni takes a bow. Beach Break just got that much bigger, but who will take their shot at The Tramp that is The Champ?

 

Backstage interview with Paragon.

Lexy Nair is with Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly to ask them about the 2 Out of 3 Falls last Saturday. Roddy says that to say they’re disappointed is an understatement. He and Kyle are one of the best teams on this planet, and they thought it’d be like riding a bike. But it has been a bit more difficult than they thought. Kyle agrees that they’re frustrated and disappointed, but what they aren’t doing is taking anything away from themselves. They’re the Paragon and they’re still one of the best tag teams out there. And any other day, any other time, 99 out of 100, Kyle & Roddy win that match.

Cole agrees, and he knows that was tough last week. But they are one of the best teams in the world. There will be plenty of chances to prove that this year. But in step the Grizzled Young Veterans and Zack Gibson says say that again. He can’t believe Paragon has the nerve to stand here sulking and complaining. Honestly, this three are three of the best ever. The problem is, they’ve gone soft! They’ve forgotten what it is to fight for their sport. So any time they’re ready, GYV will remind them what that’s like. Kyle & Roddy say why not. GYV will be the first time that gets stomped on Paragon’s way back to the top!

GYV laugh that off then take their leave. But when and where will Liverpool’s Number One & Mr. Mayhem take on the Savior of the Backbreaker & the Violent Artist?

 

Ricochet VS Angelico w/ Serpentico!

The One & Only just got a big win last night alongside the Young Bucks, but now he looks to get a win on his own. Will Ricochet make Detroit #OuttaThisWorld two nights in a row? Or will tonight belong to Spanish Announce Project’s South African Stud?

The bell rings and the fans rally as Angelico and Ricochet circle. They feel things out, circle more, then Angelico leaves Ricochet hanging by smoothing his hair. Ricochet says ha ha, more bald jokes. Ricochet waistlocks, the fans chant, “He Has Hair!” but Ricochet hammerlocks and snapmares to then ghost pin, TWO! Ricochet taunts Angelico that this is professional wrestling, not modeling. Angelico trips Ricochet to cover, ONE! Angelico has a cording hold and he keeps Ricochet from the ropes. Ricochet wrenches, but Angelico gets the cording hold back! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico arm-drags him to the mat!

The fans cheer more, but Ricochet kips up. Angelico wrangles him back down! Ricochet claws at Angelico but Angelico polishes the bald head! The fans cheer and Angelico keeps on the arm. Ricochet fights up again, but Angelico wrangles him back down! Angelico gives Ricochet more polish, then stands him up to wrench and cording hold. Ricochet throws a body shot, flips up and over, but Angelico switches arms for a modified Cobra Twist! Angelico holds up his hand and the fans cheer, but Ricochet fights free and bails out. The fans boo but then Angelico sneaks up to clamp on shoulder claws!

Ricochet fights back, and he THROWS Angelico to the floor! Ricochet skins the cat, then TORNILLO PLANCHAS! Ricochet takes down Angelico, taunts Serpentico, then goes storming off to grab a chair! Ricochet chases off #SNAKEMAN, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Ricochet gets up on the barrier to soak up more heat, and he even flicks sweat off his bald head! Ricochet puts Angelico in the ring, stalks him to ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Ricochet backs off, and Serpentico coaches Angelico. Angelico sputters but Ricochet brings him up for a snapmare. Ricochet digs his knee into Angelico’s back as part of the chinlock. Angelico endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Angelico is free, runs the ropes, but Ricochet DROPKICKS him down! Ricochet taunts the fans, covers Angelico, TWO! Angelico is tougher than that but Ricochet covers again, ONE! And again, ONE! And again, ONE!!

Ricochet throws a fit and SLAPS Angelico down before arguing with the ref. The ref defends the count, so Ricochet just stomps away on Angelico’s back! Ricochet taunts the fans, goes back to stomp Angelico and kick him around, then he kicks Angelico to the ropes. Angelico rises to BODY BLOW! And JAB! Ricochet staggers back, Angelico fires more shots! Angelico runs, KICKS the backdrop away, then runs again, only for Ricochet to FLAPJACK him off ropes and JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Angelico survives and Collision returns to single picture. Ricochet storms his way to a corner while the fans boo.

Ricochet aims and 450- NO, he has to bail out as Angelico moves! Ricochet comes back but Angelico dodges again, Ricochet hits only buckles! Angelico swings, Ricochet dodges and shoves to TIGER WALL KICK! And SOBAT! KNEE! But Angelico KNEES in return! Ricochet rebounds to V-TRIGGER! ROLLING- NO, Angelico clinches for a LIFTING FLATLINER! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts, Ricochet and Angelico stir, and they rise at 5 of 10. Angelico counters a punch and then fires haymakers! Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but then Ricochet catches the leap!

Angelico fights Ricochet’s clinch with elbows, then whips, but Ricochet reverses, Angelico LEAPING LARIATS! And LEAPING LARIATS again! The fans fire up and Angelico storms up to Ricochet. Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but Angelico reverses back! COBRA TWIST, and the HEAD SLAPS! The fans fire up as Angelico just takes Ricochet to task! Ricochet sputters and staggers around, Angelico kicks and Canadian Racks! YOYO SLAM, into a hammerlock and HALF CRAB! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico gets the other arm! Ricochet kicks with his free leg and has the ROPEBREAK! The fans boo but Angelico lets go.

Ricochet goes to the apron, Angelico storms up, but Ricochet HOTSHOTS him! And then FLICKS the ropes at Angelico to hit down low! Ricochet then springboards and FLYING LARIATS! The fans boo but Ricochet runs for a STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Ricochet just keeps going, dragon sleeper for the VERTIGO!! Ricochet rolls back, locks ‘n’ loads, and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

Ricochet made sure Angelico was done before he got the 1-2-3, and now he gets the mic. “Go ahead. C’mon, I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!” The fans boo and taunt him more and Ricochet says he welcomes it all! Their boos mean NOTHING to him, because he sees what they cheer for. And c’mon, if you cheer for the Detroit Lions, that means you’re dumb as hell. If you were smart, if you had any amount of common sense, you’d be cheering for him! The fans keep taunting him with “They’re Not Bald!” But Ricochet says the Eagles won the Super Bowl, what’re they talking about? They should be cheering him, because he’s been here less than a year and he’s beaten most of the favorites!

Brody King, Will Ospreay, Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, Mark Briscoe, Swerve Strickland, and even Kenny Omega! All of them are AEW legends, and Ricochet beat them all! But wait, speaking of legends… Ricochet points out the living legend, Zach Gowen! Ricochet remembers growing up, watching wrestling, he was a huge fan of Zach Gowen. Huge fan. He remembers when big Brock would beat him up and down the arena, that was awesome. But the thing is, Daddy Gowen used to be on this side of the barriers, but now he’s on the other side of them. What happened, Zach? Doesn’t have a leg in the fight anymore?

Ricochet laughs at his own offensive joke, and then asks where that fire is now. He pushes Zach around, security rushes in and Ricochet says he wasn’t doing anything! They’re just talking! Then he BOPS each and every guard! They like that? Ricochet THROWS one guy into railing! Ricochet does his own commentary as he sends another one into the steel steps! Then he puts the third one in the ring, and says Zach might like this. The fans boo but now Ricochet brings out THE SCISSORS! Ricochet cuts this guy’s hair up! But Zach jumps into the ring!! The fans cheer as Zach snatches the scissors from Ricochet!

The fans cheer as Zach asks what is wrong with Ricochet! Ricochet says sorry, sorry! But then he KICKS Zach’s leg out! And then SPIRIT GUN!! The fans boo even more but Ricochet isn’t done with Zach. He takes Zach’s prosthetic leg away! The fans boo as loud as they can as Ricochet leaves with the leg! Ricochet isn’t just humiliating Zach Gowen, he’s committing a crime! Ricochet holds the leg up as a trophy, then mockingly limps with it. Will anyone ever humble the ego that is #OuttaThisWorld?

 

8 Man Tag: The Don Callis Family VS The Outrunners, Bandido & AR Fox!

Don Callis himself dared Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd to find a friend so they could settle things with Roppongi Vice and the Family, but the Outrunners did better than that! They found TWO friends! Will the Most Wanted ROH World Champion and the Whole Fox’n Show help the Youngest Men Alive humble Callis’ cronies? Or will Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher use them to take out all of their frustrations?

Callis of course joins commentary while the teams sort out. Callis calls tonight “Don Callis Championship Wrestling,” and says Detroit boos him and his Family because it is a city of losers. Kyle Fletcher starts against Bandido and the fans fire up. Kyle and Bandido circle, the fans rally up more, and they tie up. They go around, Kyle puts Bandido on the ropes. The fans rally for Bandido and he dodges the chop to CHOP! Kyle swings, Bandido dodges and headlocks. Kyle powers up and out, Bandido RAMS him, but Kyle rebounds to RUN Bandido over!

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!

After the assault and humiliation that we saw earlier tonight, Zach Gowen is going to make his return to wrestling! Will Zach get revenge on Ricochet for taking things too far?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

“So, we’re through the obligatory preamble, casualties on both sides. Last night, you took out my number one lieutenant. Now I could vow revenge and talk about all the things I’m gonna do to Samoa Joe once I get him inside that steel cage. But that would be rather rote, and probably mostly untrue. What do we know? The consensus is Samoa Joe is gonna kick my ass. And yeah, there’s nobody on the planet better at getting their ass kicked than me. The question isn’t whether Joe will beat me up. The question is, how long can he do it? Five, eight minutes? Ten? 20? 25? I’ve got all night.

“I know you don’t think very much of me, Joe, but you are one of the guys that I have genuine respect for. You are the embodiment of a champion. But you’re not the AEW World Champion, I am. And I know that no matter what happens to me inside that steel cage in Chicago, no matter what Hell is put on me, no matter what I am put through in that steel cage, I know I have been through worse. I have been through the kind of Hell, I have weathered the kind of storms, I have faced down the kinds of demons that would keep these kids up at night. So I don’t need to be feared or respected by you or anybody else. I just need you to show up.

“I don’t get along with the rest of the world because I am not like the rest of the world. And believe it or not, next week, there is nowhere else in the world I would rather be than locked inside a steel cage in Chicago with the AEW World Championship hanging in the balance, with the baddest man in pro-wrestling, Samoa Joe. I didn’t build my foundation on sand. When the storm comes through, the only thing that matters is who is the last man standing.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will he ultimately be the baddest man in AEW?

 

Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn VS Lee Johnson w/ Blake Christian!

The Pride of Pro-Wrestling is ready to prove he’s worthy of all the opportunities before him, but that means having others step to the plate. #BigShotty thinks he can get a hit off the 5 Tool Player, but will he be able to go yard? Or will he just get Molly Whopped and sent back to the dugout?

The bell rings and the fans rally behind Bowens. Bowens and Lee tie up, Bowens wrenches and wristlocks, but Lee wrenches back. Bowens slips through, wrenches and hammerlocks, then he spins and snapmares Lee to an Oklahoma Roll! TWO, and Bowens tries a cradle, TWO! Lee is up to headlock back, but Bowens powers up and out. Lee goes up and over, baits Bowens into a waistlock, but Bowens switches. Lee switches, then he shoves Bowens! “You’re nothing!” The fans boo and Bowens scowls. Lee talks more trash, but Bowens CHOPS Lee off his feet! Bowens stalks Lee to a corner, CHOPS again, and the fans “WOO~!”

Bowens CHPOS again, and again, and again! Bowens then stomps a mudhole into Lee! The ref counts, Bowens steps off at 4, and Bowens apologizes. Lee bails out, Bowens pursues, and Lee tries to apologize. But then Lee bumps into Daddy Ass! Lee looks and sees Billy, apologizes to him now, but Bowens ROCKS Lee! Bowens whips Lee hard into barriers and the fans fire up! Bowens puts Lee in the ring, but Lee kicks low! Lee eggs Bowens on, whips, but Bowens hurdles and mule kicks! Front kicks! FAMOUSER! The fans fire up and Bowens wrenches to lift Lee, SWING OUT FACEBUSTER! Cover, ONE?!?

Billy is annoyed, but then Blake gets on the apron! Bowens backs the Vanilla Babyface off, but then he dodges Lee’s sneak attack! Bowens fireman’s carries, Lee slips free and shoves Bowens to ropes. Billy wants after Blake but the ref keeps him back. Bowens ELBOWS Lee away, but Blake swipes at him! Lee then DUMPS Bowens out! Bowens staggers up, Lee FLIES, and he gets just enough of Bowens to take him down! Then Lee and Blake mock the scissor fingers! The fans boo but Lee puts Bowens in the ring. Lee reels Bowens in, suplexes, but Bowens slips free! Bowens shoves Lee away, runs up, and he blocks the boot! But not the ENZIGIRI!

Lee SUPERKICKS Bowens, runs, but into the Rock, Paper, Scissors, SUPERKICK! The fans fire up and Bowens shows them how it’s done! He puts up the scissors, then shouts for his shot! But Blake gets on the apron! Bowens grabs Blake, Lee rolls Bowens up with tights, TWO!! MOLLY WHOP!! Cover, Bowens wins!

Winner: Anthony Bowens, by pinfall

Blake tried to tip the scales, but then he also storms into the ring! Billy gets in Blake’s way and Blake backs up. Blake  “apologizes,” but then he takes a swing! Billy stops that and TOSSES Blake out! Billy says “SUCK IT!” Bowens grabs a mic to tell Detroit, “What you just saw was the Pride of Professional Wrestling! The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. And I am in a really good mood, so y’know what? Billy, throw ’em up! Detroit, throw ’em up! And make some noise!” And they SCISSOR FINGER~! For old time’s sake, Bowens embraces the old gimmick. But will nothing stop Bowens from making himself a contender?

 

The Gates of Agony are here!

Detroit cheers as Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona walk out to the ring, but they grab mics so they can talk. Kaun calls out Bryan Keith & Big Bill. “You think you’re gonna walk through these Gates unscathed, unburned, and redeem yourselves in the eyes of Chris Jericho?” The fans boo and Kaun says, “Hell no, Paradise has to be earned. And these Gates right here? They’re gonna stop you in your tracks.” Liona says, “And this time, we’re not doing it in a parking lot! Y’know why? Because we’re in Detroit! Why not do this right here, right now!?” The fans cheer and Liona tells Big Bill & Bryan Keith, you heard the people! Get out here and fight!

The shirts come off, and here come the Redwood & Bad Apple! They go right to the ring and the brawl is on! The fans fire up as Bill has Kaun and Keith has Liona! Bill hammers away on Kaun in a corner, Liona ROCKS Keith, but Keith roars! Keith runs, only for Liona to LARIAT him down! Bill BOOTS Liona down! Bill goes out after Liona, but then Keith LARIATS Kaun and himself up and out of the ring! Bill and Liona brawl, Linoa shoves Bill into railing and CLUBS him! Keith and Kaun brawl on the floor, Liona SMACKS Bill off steel steps! Liona fires up, the fans are torn, and Liona runs in, only for Bill to send him into railing! In fact, Liona goes over the railing!

Keith staggers but Kaun keeps after him. Kaun brings Keith to the ramp but Keith elbows free! Keith runs but Kaun fireman’s carries! SAMOAN DROP down through tables!! Fans lose their minds, and somehow Liona is up! Liona and Bill now brawl on the stage, even as security and producer Kevin Matthews try to stop this! But there’s no stopping it, and Bill BOOTS Liona! Liona wobbles, but then he roars! Liona SPEARS Bill off the stage and down through tables!! The fans lose their minds all over again! The Gates and the Branches are down around ringside, is the Learning Tree impressed watching this at home?

 

AEW hears from Anna Jay & Harley Cameron, as well as Penelope Ford & Megan Bayne.

The Queenslayer says, “Megan, you really like to pick fights, huh? I don’t care how big you are, how hard you hit, I will wrap my arms around you and make you sleep!” The Superbad Girl says Anna has been gone a long time, and the Megasus says things have changed. There is a new animal in this jungle, and having a pure heart, fat ass and good friends isn’t gonna cut it. But the wild Aussie tells the Megasus, “I bet your back is blown out after the fight that I brought last night!” Anna says don’t say it like. Ford tells Harley to stop hiding behind Anna’s fat ass already. Ford & Megan want them to fight and learn that mercy is the one thing they never mastered.

Harley shouts that she and Anna will SLAY THE MEGASUS, and all will FEEL THE WRATH! And so BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break Collision! Anna Jay VS Megan Bayne will happen next Saturday when Collision returns to TNT!

 

Willow Nightingale VS Kris Statlander!

Former friends, bitter enemies, and now maybe somewhere in between, the Babe with the Power and the Galaxy’s Greatest will battle 1v1 once more! But will we truly see she’s a #BornAgainKristen when this fight helps her make amends with Willow? Or will nothing Kris does matter, and Willow will smile anyway?

The bell rings and the two circle. The two start pushing, and then shoving, and then Willow wrenches to wrangle Kris. Kris fights up to wrench back and headlock, but Willow powers out to headlock in return. Kris powers up and out, then reels Willow in for her own headlock. Willow THROWS Kris away and the fans fire up! Willow wants Kris to take this serious, so Kris runs up to waistlock. Willow fights the lift and switches, Kris fights the lift in return. Willow powers through to SLAM Kris all the same! The fans fire up more while Kris grows frustrated. Kris storms up, but Willow boops her on the nose!

The fans are torn but Kris says if that’s how it’s gonna be… And she SLAPS Willow! Willow swings, Kris dodges and Kris trips Willow to then basement CROSSBODY!

“Next week, Beach Break, AEW is back in Chicago. And so am I. I’m back, and I’m a violent little thing.” The Chicago Skye is dark and brooding once again, but will her future be bright?

Before they take on Will Ospreay & Hangman Page for Beach Break, The Alpha & Walking Weapon are going to make an example out of the Cowboy’s former friends. Will this be the end of The Dark Order once and for all? Or can Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds survive despite not having the Numbers?

Who will the two mystery participants be? And will anyone be able to score on the Whore We All Adore this close to Double or Nothing?

 

Daniel Garcia VS Dax Harwood w/ Cash Wheeler & Stokely Hathaway!

For the longest time, Red Death respected FTR and FTR respected him. But after FTR selfishly betrayed Adam Copeland and put themselves ahead of everyone else, Garcia could not stand by and do nothing. Garcia dared one of the Top Guys to step up, will he take that Top Guy out? Or will this (emotionally) hurt FTR more than it hurts Garcia?

The bell rings and Dax circles with Garcia. Garcia is also wary of how Cash and #BigStoke are moving around ringside. The fans taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” so it isn’t just Ricochet anymore.

He’s allowed to do that, right? The fans still taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” Dax stands Garcia up, reels him in, but Garcia fights the lift! Dax pulls on Garcia’s hair to then CHOP him! Garcia bails out, Dax pursues, and Dax brings Garcia around.

Dax talks trash on the fans, then reels Garcia in. Garcia fights the lift again, trips Dax up, and then CATAPULTS Dax into the POST! The fans fire up while Dax falls in a heap! Garcia stands, rolls into the ring, but just long enough to refresh the count. Dax is busted open and Garcia is right on that bloody forehead! Dax wants mercy but Garcia only backs off to get space. Garcia puts up his dukes, does his dance, and then runs in for a DROPKICK! Dax hits barriers, but Garcia runs again! Another DROPKICK into the barriers! And then a third DROPKICK into the barriers! The fans fire up with Garcia as he goes one more time, only for Cash to stand in the way!

The fans boo as Cash says no more! Garcia seethes, and he still runs up, but Dax LARIATS Garcia down! Cash bought Dax time, and now Dax huffs ‘n’ puffs through his crimson mask. Dax puts Garcia in the ring, then he grabs the ring bell! The ref stops Dax and they tug-o-war over it! Dax lets the ref have the bell, but then Garcia trips Dax! Garcia steps through, and he turns Dax over for the DRAGON TAMER!! But Stoke distracts the ref, letting Cash drag Garcia out! DRAPING NECKBREAKER to the floor!

The fans fire up, Stoke freaks out, and Menard fires off on Cash in a corner! Detroit is all fired up as Collision goes picture in picture!

Cash runs away to the back but Menard pursues! Now things are a bit more even, with Stoke coaching a bloodied and dazed Dax. Dax staggers to his feet, goes over to Garcia, and drags him up to put him in the ring. Dax talks more trash on the fans, then he storms in after Garcia. Dax suplexes and hits a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Garcia is still in this and Dax grows frustrated. The ref checks Dax while the fans rally behind Garcia. Dax is okay to continue, and he brings Garcia up, only for Garcia to cradle! TWO!!

Detroit tells Dax he done F’d up, but Nigel just puts his headset back on. Nigel says he is a professional, but a professional commentator. Dax is the wrestler, so Nigel will not touch him. Dax SHOVES Nigel down! Nigel is furious but Dax already storms off to find Garcia. Dax puts Garcia in the ring, but Garcia reels Dax in! Dax fights the lift, Stoke barks from the apron! The ref backs stoke off, but Dax LOW BLOWS Garcia!

But now Nigel is storming down to ringside! Garcia fights the lift and Nigel is on the apron! Dax storms up on Nigel, but Nigel RAMS Dax down low! UPPERCUT! But Cash is back!

Menard is back and he LARIATS Cash up and out! The fans fire up as Menard, Garcia and McGuinness stand tall together! FTR kept pushing buttons but they pushed the wrong ones! Will Stoke, Dax & Cash have to fear the repercussions of their actions?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision, but it apparently caught a bit of the Go Home Syndrome. There were quite a few recap packages I skipped but clearly they are working to hype Beach Break for next. Moxley’s newest promo was alright, didn’t really add much, because as I said just last night, Moxley surely finds a way to retain with help from The Death Riders. I will say, it made a lot of sense for the remaining Death Riders to cost Willow. Marina and Willow still have beef, and I’m still hoping on my idea from last night: Shayna Baszler shows up, teams with Marina, we get Shayna & Marina VS Willow & Kris. Let’s up the ante and get another classic Street Fight Tag out of Kris & Willow.

Great promo from Toni Storm to open the night, and good to hear Skye Blue is back. Another Fatal 4 Way Eliminator makes me wonder if one of the mystery entrants ends up taking the loss. There was also that spider during Kris VS Willow, which I believe is a teaser for Thekla. Thekla could easily jump into the Fatal 4 Way and get close to winning, but who knows. And as I said last night, not sure why they’re holding Athena back from doing much of anything right now. With Supercard of Honor now delayed to July to coincide with All In: Texas, Athena should really be getting involved more on AEW TV so people don’t forget she exists.

Very good stuff with Bowens VS Lee, and I appreciate the albeit lazy way they changed Bowen’s logo so that it doesn’t resemble the Shane Taylor Promotions’ STP. Bowens of course wins, but his promo after was pretty much the same as his other ones. At least he did one last scissoring with Billy. Bowens is unfortunately not going to get a title story right now with all the champions preoccupied in something else. Though honestly, I feel like there is a way for Okada VS Bowens to be a great match, and then someone violates the Continental Rules so that Okada loses without really losing. Best way I can think of is Swerve is hunting The Bucks, they go ringside, and since Bucks are associate with Okada, that’s a violation on his part, and it adds more heat to whatever big thing Double or Nothing has planned.

Great stuff from the Don Callis Family in all their matches. I wasn’t expecting a big 8 Man Tag, and I’m a little disappointed Brody King wasn’t one of the participants, but maybe that’s the next phase. Great showing from the Faces, especially AR Fox. Fox is in a similar boat to Bowens where he certainly deserves title opportunities but TK just isn’t seeing how to write it. But between that and the dominance Konosuke & Alexander over Dark Order, it feels like the Don Callis Family get their comeuppance with Hangman & Ospreay winning next week.

Ricochet VS Angelico was rather outta nowhere but it was still a great match. It was also clearly a vehicle so Ricochet could start beef with Zach (Zack?) Gowen and give us a Beach Break match between them for the real deepcut long time wrestling fans. Much like Bowens and Fox, I feel like Ricochet is waiting on a title to be freed up from story so he can go get those titles. Such as Paragon now feuding with Grizzled Young Veterans for a minute, which in a way keeps Adam Cole isolated. TK should’ve just given us Ricochet VS Cole for the fun of it because Ricochet VS Cole would be incredibly fun stuff. They could even revisit their NXT history if they wanted to.

Great stuff with Gates of Agony and Learning Tree, that was much better than last week’s. I really hope this gives us a Tornado Tag match. For that matter, why aren’t we getting that in the story of Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford? Good promo from those teams to hype up… just Anna VS Megan… It’d make Beach Break Collision feel all the bigger but whatever, maybe they feel Ford still isn’t up to speed after that Fatal 4 Way last night. But doing a chaotic tag match could help iron out some of that so that Ford can just focus on what she is good at with the gymnastics and throwing hands.

And awesome stuff with Garcia VS “Dax the Axe” in the main event. And yeah, I didn’t put it in myself, but they’re really committing to that as Dax’s ring name right now. Great to see Menard helping Garcia, and even Nigel standing up for himself against Dax. A “No Contest” result was a little odd but I suppose that’s like saying it is a draw where no one goes over. But with the Faces standing tall, maybe Nigel steps in and teams with Garcia right now for Double or Nothing so that Garcia teaming with Cope is the All In moment.

My Score: 8.8/10
