LA Knight is enjoying some downtime.
He sings Ted DeBiase’s theme song as he showers in his luxurious home. Knight brings up DeBiase wanting to pass on the Million Dollar Legacy, and if DeBiase wants someone to take it to unseen heights, it’s L. A. Knight! Knight thanks the woman helping him with his robe, then asks all his ladies if they want to hear a story. Meet him in the hot tub.
Cut to said hot tub, the ladies having glasses of champagne, and Knight is having them imagine how TakeOver: In Your House will end. That idiot, Cameron Grimes, will get his ass kicked in while everyone else around the world, including Grimes’ idol, the Million Dollar Man, is laughing their asses off at him! AHAHAHAHA! The ladies don’t get it but they laugh along as best they can. Alright, enough. The ladies help Knight with his Mercedes Benz, and he says DeBiase has gotten to see everything. Knight says the answer is clear: you go with L, A, Knight, yeah! But will DeBiase choose to let actions speak for themselves come TakeOver?

Mrs. Wrestling has been vocal about how she doesn’t like Poppy hanging around NXT, and we just saw Poppy arrive. Why is Candice so against her? This right here is why! We’re again talking to The Way, but you have to bring up Poppy? Right, Indi? Actually, Indi heard Dexter Lumis came by and picked up her headphones last week, and even teared up! Indi thinks Dexter still loves her! She has to go! No, Indi, no! Why is this still happening? They weren’t a thing! They weren’t a thing!

Grimes hits a CANNONBALL~ into his indoor pool! Grimes also says that DeBiase is looking for a man worthy of the Million Dollar Legacy! Will it be LA Knight?

Backstage interview with Breezango.
McKenzie welcomes Tyler Breeze & Fandango back to NXT, but asks them how they feel about Walter’s orders to Imperium. Fandango hushes “Makakenzie” and says he has questions for her: One, does she like their shirts? Yes. Then two, why is Walter so angry? Hasn’t he been German Champion for nine years now? Breeze corrects Dango, it’s NXT UK Champion, and yes he’s been a dominant force all over Europe. Then that makes him the Bruno Sammartino of Europe. Yeah, but they need to worry about Fabio and Marsupial. No, no, Breeze, it’s Fabian and Marcel. Oh Dango’s going to correct him now?
Well point is, Imperium is after them. Breeze saw the propaganda video, just like Dango did. They have sour grapes over losing the titles to Breezango. So Breezango needs to beat Imperium again on their way back to the titles, which means Imperium will disappoint Walter again. Dango shows off a bit more chest before taking his exit with Breeze, but will the Lord of the Dance and Prince Pretty have to get ugly to overcome the Ring General’s soldiers?
Triple H and William Regal welcome Poppy back.
They’re happy to have her again, and HHH wants to tell her how much he loves her newest tracks. All the new tracks she is allowing them to use, from Eat to Say Cheese, it’s all awesome. But when will the album “drop?” Poppy says it’s dropping right NOW! What? Really? She’s just gonna push a button and boom? Yep. Sweet! Do it! Done. So okay, hold on. All she did was push a button on her phone, and boom, world premiere of the Poppy “Eat” NXT Soundtrack? All five tracks? Yes! From Spotify to Apple music and iTunes, all of it, for the whole world? Yep. Technology’s amazing. HHH loves it. So does Poppy.
Dexter Lumis walks in, looks at Poppy, and offers her a custom piece of artwork! Poppy is honored and thanks him for it. She even gives him a hug! Indi walks in and misunderstands! She runs away crying and screaming, and now Dexter might have found him in the dog house. Well, that’s awkward. How can Lumis make this up to Indi?
Cameron Grimes pulls up into the parking lot.
And then so does LA Knight! Well about time! Yeah it is. And it’s about time Grimes take his trash, turn it around and drive it out of here. Security keeps these two from arguing, because DeBiase will be waiting in the ring. Well they can’t keep the Million Dollar Man waiting. Grimes says Knight looks like a waiter: BEGGIN’ FER TIPS! HAHAHA! Knight is BROKE! Says the rich troll living under the bridge. Yeah, so rich, he lives under TWO bridges! Grimes gives a big tip to the security guard to get something nice for his family. Oh wait, he doesn’t have a family! AHAHAHA! Anyway…
Ted Debiase is in the ring!
“Well before I make this absolutely Priceless Announcement, I would like for Cameron Grimes and LA Knight to join me here in the ring.” Grimes says he’ll take all the time he needs but Knight says Grimes just makes noise to make noise. Knight slaps Grimes’ money out of his hand then leaves him behind as he goes to gorilla. Knight makes his entrance but Grimes cuts the music off to put HIS song on! Grimes struts past Knight and goes to the ring, but Knight follows after while asking DeBiase if Grimes is really who he wants for this. Grimes counts his money and fans sing along with his song, but DeBiase has them get to business.
“Gentlemen, this Sunday is the ultimate test.” They’ve both proven themselves worthy, but it is time for them both to literally climb the ladder of success! A ladder descends from above, and it’s gold! It’s gonna be a MILLION DOLLAR LADDER MATCH! Knight says it has been abundantly clear since day one that he walks head and shoulders above the rest of the wrestlers. This Sunday, it doesn’t matter if Knight has to knock Grimes’ head off or climb the ladder, there is no hill he won’t climb or hillbilly he won’t step on, because there is only ONE man that can carry the Million Dollar Legacy, and that’s him! And why is that? That’s because this is L A Knight’s game!
Hillbilly? Grimes says Knight might be right, Grimes may be a hillbilly and a bit smelly, but he’s worth a million bucks! This hillbilly lives on the hilltop, looking down on Knight! Grimes knows DeBiase said this isn’t about the fame or the money, it was about what happens in between the ropes! Well what happens when Grimes is between these ropes and turnbuckles and in front of the people, Grimes cannot be beat! So take his money, take his fame, because he’ll take the legacy straight TO! THE! MOON~! Grimes climbs, and says as he looks to the top of the CWC, he doesn’t see what he’s supposed to be reaching for! DeBiase, what is Grimes reaching for?
DeBiase is glad Grimes asked. Gentlemen, bring it in. The security guards bring in a big briefcase, set it on the table for DeBiase, and open it up for him. Gentlemen, DeBiase wants you to know that you will be fighting, crawling, grabbing and using every fiber of their energy for what is inside here. THE MILLION DOLLAR CHAMPIONSHIP!! Knight and Grimes are beside themselves with excitement and awe! At TakeOver, the winner of this ladder match will be the NEW Million Dollar Champion! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Now THAT is a legacy worth carrying! Will it be Knight’s belt, yeah? Or will Grimes take this title with him TO THE MOON~?
Something’s going down backstage!
Security and referees are rushing in to stop Kyle O’Reilly and Karrion Kross from fighting! Regal rushes in to tell them to stop! None of this is happening tonight! Kross and Kyle are still snarling, but will they be able to wait until Sunday?
“The following announcement has been paid for by the Ever-Rise.”
Friends of the show, they have big news for you! Your boys, THE Ever-Rise, are hosting the TakeOver: In Your House pre-preshow! It’s available on all social and digital platforms! Now you might be asking yourself, what is that? It’s the show before the preshow! And if you didn’t know, now you know! Wait, that’s Hit Row’s catchphrase. But it’s really good. Well, see you Sunday! Ever-Rise RULES! Okay that one is theirs.

GYV is DONE with them, yet here they are, lingering like a bad smell! GYV are here for MSK and the tag titles! They’ve already proven they’re better, but Ciampa & Thatcher have only proven they’re two hooligans! Well GYV doesn’t get it, right? GYV isn’t getting their shot without going through Ciampa & Thatcher! Gibson gets angrier, but then Ciampa & Thatcher throw their chairs at him and Drake! Gibson wants Ciampa & Thatcher to listen. “If it’s a scrap you want, then it’s a scrap you’ll get!”
GYV VS Ciampa & Thatcher, no tag rules! TORNADO TAG to finish this the old fashioned way! Oh well GYV needs to know about Ciampa & Thatcher! They love tornadoes! They don’t need to tag! And they sure as hell don’t need to wait! Ciampa & Thatcher rush the ring but GYV bails out! Thatcher’s said it before and he’ll say it again: “I’m going to enjoy breaking your limbs!” The song says, “No one will survive,” and will that be true when young and old grizzled veterans collide in a match with no restraints?

The CWC fire up with Ember as she snapmares Dakota. Ember climbs, leaps, FLYING CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO!! Dakota survives but Ember keeps her cool. Ember drags Dakota up to CLUB her down. Ember runs but Dakota reels her in. Ember breaks free to SUPERKICK, but runs into a FOREARM! Dakota runs, Ember follows but Dakota side steps to BOOT her at ropes! Dakota snapmare and KICKS Ember in the back, then runs, only for Ember to duck and kip up and HOOK KICK!
Ember gets Dakota back up, dragon sleeper to a SOMERSAULT STUNNER!! Cover, TWO!! Dakota survives but again Raquel was ready to rush in. The CWC is thunderous as Ember gets Dakota in another dragon sleeper. Ember pulls back on the hold to squeeze the air out of Dakota, but Dakota fights up to her feet. Dakota turns things around to have a dragon sleeper of her own, TWISTING FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Ember lives and Raquel is frustrated must of all! Dakota drags Ember up, gives her Kowata Kicks, and then an extra round! Ember blocks to throw Dakota, but Dakota SCORPION KICKS and then BOOTS Ember!
Ember ends up in a corner, Dakota goes Around the World for a BOOT! Cover, TWO!! Dakota and Raquel are both beside themselves as Ember survives. Fans rally and duel, Dakota gets Ember up to fireman’s carry, but Ember fights free! Ember Electric Chair lifts, pops Dakota around, LIGER BOMB! Cover, TWO! Now Ember feels the frustration as Dakota bails out. Raquel goes to Dakota’s side but Ember rushes out. Dakota gets in the ring and Raquel blocks Ember’s way. The ref is busy checking on Dakota so Raquel takes a swing, but Ember dodges boot to ROCK Raquel! Ember goes to the apron and dumps Dakota out! Ember builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit on BOTH targets!
The CWC is thunderous for “NXT! NXT!” as Ember puts Dakota in and BOOTS her! Ember hurries to a corner while Dakota is dazed! Ember goes up top, but Raquel gets in to BOOT her down!!
Winner: Ember Moon, by disqualification
Ricky Desperado doesn’t care about Dakota’s win-loss record, so long as she gets to extinguish Ember! But she’s too busy checking on Dakota and Ember attacks! But that’s a 2v1 situation as Dakota hits Ember! Ember shoves Dakota away to BOOT her! Raquel DECKS Ember now! Raquel snarls and gets Ember back up, hooks the leg, DESPERADO- STUNNER?!? Ember counters Raquel’s power and runs in, but Raquel puts her on the apron! Only to run into a HOTSHOT! Ember climbs again, for an ECLIPSE!!
The Prophecy of Flame lights the champion up and grabs the title! Ember tells Raquel to hold onto that for her until Sunday. Will the Shenom become a TWO-TIME NXT Women’s Champion after TakeOver?
Karrion Kross speaks.
“GENTLEMEN! You have all been afforded an opportunity to be face-to-face with me tonight. But you don’t have to wait until Sunday to feel what it’s like to get flat-lined! You think you’re going to take me out? You really believe that? Now is your opportunity to show the world what you can really do. Don’t be late. Tick-tock.” Kross and Scarlett head for gorilla, but will the end come early for someone at the end of NXT?
NXT returns with Kross, Scarlett and Regal in the ring.
Regal reminds Kross who the general manager is around here. Kross is champion, but he doesn’t run the brand! Regal has seen enough chaos tonight, this is NOT happening now! Kross tells Regal he doesn’t run ANYTHING. And Regal barely runs NXT, this show has been out of control for a very, very long time. Now, we’re in Kross’ world, and he’s telling Regal that he is not leaving until his four challengers show up and get their asses kicked. But Kyle shows up and says he’s right here! Now clearly the “gas station weasel,” Adam Cole, got under Kross’ skin, and Kyle doesn’t get that. Kross is the champion and the most dominant one yet, but with the thinnest skin.
Kyle can tell because it’s that vein in Kross’ forehead that is always about to burst. It is the snarling and flexing and the compensating. Kross is insecure because he knows it is a matter of time before a guy like Kyle walks down the ramp and takes the title from him! Wow, someone call a doctor because those are sick burns! Gargano enters in from the timekeeper’s area and gets up on the commentary desk to ask Kross if he’s going to let a guy in a jean jacket talk to him like that. Kross is supposed to be the biggest and baddest dude here. Well, he’s not Johnny Wrestling, and he’s definitely not Johnny TakeOver.
But Kross IS the NXT Champion. If Gargano were Kross, which he isn’t, he’d choke Kyle out right now! But be careful not to stumble over there, we all know Kross isn’t the most graceful guy in the ring. Kross tells “Johnny Mark” that if he wants to get off the desk and into the ring, Kross will show- Dunne tells Kross to shut his mouth! Dunne is sick of all this talking and waiting. The Bruiserweight wants to show everyone why HE is the baddest in NXT, and then on Sunday we can just call him champion! But then Adam Cole talks via titantron to say, “Well, well, well. If it isn’t the four chumps I absolutely humiliated last week!”
Cole isn’t about to go down there after already embarrassing them all. But in that ring, Kross is the biggest MORON of them all. Kross says he’s the champ and thinks he’s unbeatable. Cole is pretty damn sure he “beat” Kross last week with that verbal annihilation, and Kross couldn’t do a damn thing back. Kross tricks people into thinking he’s a tough guy, just cuz he wants to face all four at once. Cole sees right through that. The idea of going 1v1 with ol’ Adam Cole Baybay has Kross shaking in his boots! Kross doesn’t want the world to see Cole run circles around him! Cole doesn’t blame Kross, but will remind him that Cole doesn’t need to beat Kross to win.
Cole might beat Johnny Wrestling again, or maybe beat Pete Dunne again. Or maybe he’ll beat the guy who doesn’t even deserve to be in this match, (Kyle O’Reilly) or maybe he’ll beat Kross. Then he’ll show everyone that Kross’ reign has been one big fat disappointment. Cole will let these boys get back to their hissy fits, and see them all on Sunday. Kyle says that Cole is clearly too much of a bitch to be here tonight and kick things off early, but Kyle ain’t. Kyle gets in Kross’ face and Kross asks who Kyle is exactly. Kyle SLAPS Kross in the face! Kross DECKS Kyle, Dunne gets in and stomps Kross, and then Dunne and Kyle mug Kross together!
Security rushes the ring, but Dunne and Kyle just go after them! Kross gets to the far side, but Gargano is there! Gargano slingshot SPEARS Kyle, but Dunne fires off hands on Gargano! Gargano and Dunne brawl, Kross interrupts to DECK Gargano and TOSS Dunne! Gargano gets up but Kross TOSSES him! Security guards get in, they each get TOSSED! Kyle gets up to fire off on Kross! Kross shoves Kyle and BOOTS him down! Kross is seething, more security gets in and restrains Kross, leaving him open to Gargano’s SUPERKICK! And Dunne’s ENZIGURI! And then they throw security out! Kross is in a corner, Kyle gives him a HELLUVA KICK! Sami would be proud!
Gargano SUPERKICKS Kyle! Dunne BLASTS Gargano! Kyle ROLLING ELBOWS Dunne! Kyle roars, but Kross gives Kyle an APOCALYPSE ELBOW!! Kross grabs his title and says it is one versus EVERYONE! But wait, Cole IS here as he SUPERKICKS Kross from behind!! And AGAIN! Scarlett freaks out as Cole hits the LAST SHOT!! The Panama City Playboy just played everyone and shouts, “SAY HELLO TO THE CHAMP!” The CWC is thunderous for Cole as HE holds up the title! Cole already held this belt for over 400 days, is he about to take over and hold it for another 400?
My Thoughts:
What an amazing go-home! Not at all like how Raw tends to do them. For one, no filler of any kind. No recap packages that we don’t need because promos already take care of a lot of that, and no filler matches where it’s just copy-paste from last week. Though, I suppose Dok Hendrix didn’t need to re-hype matches he hyped before. But we got some fairly over-the-top and hilarious vignettes from Knight and Grimes to hype up DeBiase’s big news tonight, along with their TakeOver match. It is the most natural and exciting move for DeBiase to bring THE Million Dollar Championship to NXT for someone to have. I really hope Grimes wins, he really can make the most out of this because of his charisma and comedic sense.
I haven’t been the biggest fans of Legado just because Escobar overused Mendoza & Wilde in helping him in the early days of his Cruiserweight Championship reign, but I am all for this Six Man, double title match. We get Reed VS Escobar, which 1v1 would’ve been awesome, but now we can see Reed take on Wilde & Mendoza, we can see Escobar take on Lee & Carter, maybe there can be colossal tag moves from Reed and MSK. Also, it saves space on the TakeOver card. Putting the belts up like this, this match could go either way, but I can’t see Reed and Escobar being one and done. Legado wins to be golden and then Reed gets his rematch on perhaps NXT Great American Bash 2021.
The transition from the Legado-Reed-MSK segment to Hit Row with Maverick and Dain was very good. Another trio that will be coming for those same titles reminds everyone of that very mission, and then Hit Row works together to mess with Dain and help Swerve win. That is about on par with how Legado has operated, so it got great Heel heat and is showing where Swerve is in those power rankings. I am pretty sure that Dain and Drake will regroup to take on Adonis and Top Dolla, that is a great match up because they parallel each other with the big strong hoss and the smaller, faster guy, but I would think Hit Row wins there, too.
I really like that Xia Li attacking Mercedes did not cancel Mercedes’ match with, uh, whoever that was. Mercedes is proving she is tough as nails, and that TakeOver match is going to be some brutal stuff. I feel like since Mercedes stood tall here, and won way back at MYC, Xia Li wins at TakeOver. GYV of course get a win off 205 Live’s Grey & Jiro, and of course they set up a grudge match with Ciampa & Thatcher, but I really like that it’ll be Tornado Tag rules. That is going to be awesome for the post-TakeOver episode, could really go the distance if they need to fill for time, and can definitely act as the unofficial contender’s match to go after the winners of TakeOver’s Winners Take All.
Breezango had a good promo to call out Imperium in return, Ever-Rise plugging their own social media show was good, and I like that Ever-Rise used Hit Row’s catchphrase to call them out, too. Oney VS Theory was a great opener, it was also a good vehicle to get Dunne and Gargano to interact, but something about Oney using distraction to win makes sense. Oney and Dunne are the Heels fans still like to treat as Heels while Theory was getting cheered, so it gets good Heel heat for Oney and Dunne. Kyle scrapping with Kross randomly seems a bit unneeded since we all knew there would be a face-to-face segment, but I suppose it was to add to Kross saying Regal has no control of NXT anymore.
I knew even with last week that Candice accusing Poppy of just pulling a Bad Bunny meant she was going to start “pulling a Bad Bunny,” but I do like that Poppy already has a natural proxy to go with. Io Shirai brawling with Candice works on many levels, as did that moment backstage where Shirai glared at Raquel. Tying in the #InDex drama makes me think we’re getting The Way VS Shirai & Poppy, non-title, but maybe the real plan is Shirai and Poppy recruit another proxy so that Shirai and this other superstar take The Way on in a title match. At the same time, Franky Monet calling Shirai out a few weeks ago makes me think Franky will “ruin” that stuff and make a high profile feud out of it.
Ember VS Dakota was a great main event match, but I had a feeling Raquel would interfere. Dakota was losing either way so of course the Heel champion makes sure their contender gets wrecked. But Ember turns things around and stands tall, so she clearly isn’t winning at TakeOver. Then the face-off closing, it had great promos and great brawling, and I should’ve known Cole was lying about not being at the CWC. Kross stood tall until Cole knocked him down and stood even taller, so as I figured, Kross is totally pinning Cole to send him off to RawDown. Kross can fill the Summer with the other feuds, anyone’s guess as to who takes Kross out, if it’s happening at all this year.
My Score: 9.3/10

Best of the Super Juniors 32 A Block: Master Wato VS Yoshinobu Kanemaru!
The Way of the Grandmaster fell in the main event of last round, but he still has a chance to be in the finals! Will he stay alive just a little longer? Or will the Heel Master pour some whiskey on Wato’s dreams?
Well, to start, Kanemaru attacks during Wato’s entrance! The fans boo as Kanemaru kicks and CLUBS Wato! Kanemaru POSTS Wato, Wato falls over, and Kanemaru stomps him down! The ref reprimands but Kanemaru tells him to shut up. Kanemaru leaves Wato behind and wants the ring count. The ref has the bell ring first, and now a ring count can start. Wato rises at 3 of 20, is on the apron, but Kanemaru runs up. Wato RAMS Kanemaru, takes aim, but Kanemaru shoves the ref into Wato! Wato falls, as does the ref, and the fans boo as Kanemaru goes out after Wato! Kanemaru POSTS Wato again!
Kanemaru brings out chairs, puts on one Wato’s leg, then SLAMS the other chair on top of it! Not quite a Con-Chair-To but it gets the job done. Kanemaru SMASHES Wato’s knee on the floor, then goes back to the ring. The ref reprimands but Kanemaru lets Wato writhe. Wato clutches his knee while the ring count starts again. Wato crawls but he’s still down at 10 of 20. Wato reaches for the apron at 15, stands at 17, but manages to jump in at 19! Kanemaru YANKS the bad leg, stomps away on Wato, then stands him up. Kanemaru whips, but Wato can’t even run! The ref checks Wato but Kanemaru is right on those legs!
Kanemaru chuckles as he holds Wato open, but then he gives the ref one leg so Kanemaru can split the wishbone! Wato flounders, stands, and Kanemaru DROPKICKS the legs out! Kanemaru then grabs a leg to YANK it! Kanemaru stomps Wato more, taunts him, then drags him back up. Kanemaru has the leg for the SHIN BREAKER! And then he turns Wato over, HALF CRAB! Wato endures and the fans rally while Kanemaru sits deep! Kanemaru pulls on the leg, but Wato scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer but Kanemaru won’t let go! The ref counts, Kanemaru finally lets go at 4, and he drags Wato right back up.
Kanemaru whips, but Wato still can’t run that well! Wato tumbles to the apron, then slips to the floor. Kanemaru goes right after Wato to SMASH the knee on the floor! The fans rally for Wato while he writhes but Kanemaru leaves him behind. The ref checks with Wato but Wato won’t let this stop him. The ring counts as Kanemaru waits on Wato. Wato is still down at 10 of 20, just like last time. Wato slowly rises and stands at 16. Wato rolls in at 17 and the fans cheer, but Kanemaru grabs the legs for a FIGURE FOUR! Wato endures, the fans rally, but Kanemaru puts on the pressure! Wato flails, reaches out, and he drags Kanemaru along! ROPEBREAK!!
The fans cheer and Kanemaru makes the ref help him undo the hold. Wato grits his teeth and clutches his leg but the fans still rally behind him. Kanemaru stomps Wato, stomps the leg, then kicks him around. Wato stands to CHOP! And CHOP! Kanemaru KICKS the leg! Kanemaru whips Wato but Wato again falls! The leg is in bad shape but Wato refuses to give up. Wato stands, Kanemaru runs up, but Wato ELBOWS him! And BULLDOGS! The fans fire up as Wato powers through the pain! Wato crawls over to Kanemaru and fires up! The fans rally again and Wato wrenches Kanemaru. Kanemaru fights the Recientemente and goes after that leg!
Kanemaru runs, but Wato blocks the boot to spin and ZIGZAG! The fans fire up, Wato brings Kanemaru up, and Wato wrenches to RECIENTEMENTE! Cover, TWO!! Kanemaru survives but Wato just fires up again! The fans are with him as he waistlocks and TSUTEN- NO, Kanemaru grabs the ref! Kanemaru mule kicks the leg! Then he KICKS the other leg! Then he trips Wato to step through, FIGURE FOUR!! Wato endures, the fans rally as hard as they can, but Kanemaru puts on the pressure! Wato reaches out but he’s so far away! Wato pushes against the main leg, he grabs at the ref, but that won’t save him!
Wait, what is SHO doing here?! The Murder Machine is in B Block, but the House of Torture boys will always help each other cheat! The ref keeps Sho back, but Yujiro Takahashi is also here! Tokyo Pimp slides the whiskey bottle to Kanemaru! Kanemaru CLUBS away on Wato’s leg with that bottle!! The fans boo as Wato can only suffer! Kanemaru puts even more pressure on the hold, and WATO TAPS!! Kanemaru wins!!
Winner: Yoshinobu Kanemaru, by submission (gains 2 points; Wato earns 0)
Kanemaru’s game plan to go after the legs was working well enough, he didn’t need the House’s help! But perhaps Kanemaru wanted to stoop to these lows in order to win! And now Sho & Yujiro help stomp away on Wato! But here comes Yoh! Direct Drive saves his tag partner and runs off The House! He even gets a chair! Yoh wants them to man up, but that’s not happening. But now, with Hiromu Takahashi having beat Wato and issuing the tag title challenge, and now Kanemaru winning tonight… Could we really be seeing such an odd couple as Timebomb & Heel Master going for the tag titles?

It is apropos that the most decorated man, the FOUR-TIME BOSJ winner, is in the main event of the ninth and final round. If he wins, he moves on to potentially grabbing number five!

Winner: Robbie X, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Connors earns 0)
So what if he was the underdog? So what if he’s last place? So what if he replaced Bushi in the block? Robbie X just beat the most decorated Super Junior alive today! And that means the winner of A Block is KOSEI FUJITA! Hiromu is furious, but Fujita walks back out here to have the spotlight! Fujita and Hiromu cross paths, and Hiromu pats Fujita on the shoulder as he exits. Fujita goes to the ring, and Robbie invites him in given Robbie won the main event. Robbie tells Fujita to get this in his little brain: Robbie beat Fujita, he beat Hiromu, so… If Fujita wins this whole thing and beats El Desperado, do what is right!
Robbie wants the first championship match with Fujita! The fans like that, and Fujita nods in agreement. Robbie leaves, will Mr. X have his chance at gold? As for Fujita, he grabs the mic to say, “Sorry to those of you who may have wanted to hear more from Robbie X. But if I’m in the position of naming challengers, then I will give him the first title shot.” The fans applaud, and Fujita continues on. “I won this A Block.” The fans applaud that, too, and Fujita says he’ll take “all the hope, hate and then I’ll win. That’s all!” The Japanese Young Punk keeps it short and sweet, but will the Ichiban Sweet Boy become the Best of the Super Juniors?
Here are the FINAL A Block standings!
Kosei Fujita: 5-4, 10 points [FINALIST]
Hiromu Takahashi: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
Master Wato: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
Francesco Akira: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
Clark Connors: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
KUSHIDA: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ninja Mack: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Dragon Dia: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Yoshinobu Kanemaru: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie X: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
An awesome start to the ninth round, and it is always fun to have these final playoff scenarios sort out. Mack VS Dia was great, even for not affecting anything, and I really do hope these two guys become the next big thing. I figured Kanemaru would screw Wato over with help from Sho & Yujiro, and this definitely feeds into the tag title story that involves Hiromu. Fujita overcoming Connors and Robbie X getting the upset on Hiromu was all awesome stuff, and I like the gentlemen’s agreement that Robbie will be the lineal contender should Fujita win the title. B Block is going to be awesome, I’m sure, and there are all sorts of great choices for Fujita’s opponent.
My Score: 9.1/10

Ethan must defend this title at Worlds Collide on June 7th, who will it be that steps to Ethan in LA?
Backstage interview with The Fatal Influence.
Sarah Schreiber is with Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne & the returning Jazmyn Nyx. The arguing at Battleground between Fallon and Jacy opened the way to opportunity as now Jacy is facing Stephanie Vaquer for the NXT Women’s Championship in tonight’s main event. Jacy says, “We said we would get it done, that we would get an NXT Women’s Championship match. We just didn’t say how we were gonna get it done. And clearly, all it took was me smacking the taste out of Stephanie’s mouth to get it.” Fallon says personally, it should’ve been her competing, because the last time Jacy stepped in the ring with Stephanie, she lost.
Jacy smiles and says that tonight, she brings gold back to the Fatal Influence since Fallon failed against who? Oh, right, Stephanie! But if Fallon wants to be in Jacy’s corner, fine. If not, also fine. Jacy heads out, Jazmyn is already back in the middle of the squabbling, but will NXT once again be under the Influence? Or will the Toxic Rockstar have a meltdown against La Primera?
Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura are backstage.
The Bullhead Brawler goes over how it was just chair shot after chair shot at Battleground. But didn’t Inamura go back to Japan? He did, but then he came back to NXT for Briggs. Well, that’s such a great surprise. And he has Inamura’s vest! Inamura thanks Briggs, and says he couldn’t leave Briggs like that. There are still things to accomplish. Yes, like becoming NXT Tag Team Champions. Inamura agrees there, and more. Oh, got it! They take out The Culling and set their sights on the tag titles! Yes, and… even bigger! Briggs is intrigued, and says, “Hell yeah.” Could we see Briggs & Inamura start on a Two Man Power Trip?
Mike Santana VS Tavion Heights w/ No Quarter Catch Crew!

Santana kept it 100 and he got the big win! The fans respect Santana, and Santana shows respect to Tavion. Dempsey isn’t so sure about this, but will he just have to get in the ring with Santana to learn what he’s all about?
The High Ryze speaks.
Wes Lee says, “Now y’all know I’ve been a part of something before. Brothers all connected, chasing the same dream, but… Is it possible for that connection to last if the dream’s changed? Not for long. See, the truth is, you can really only trust in yourself. That is, until something real comes along. Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe, brute force and brilliant minds that mirror my conventions.” Tyson says they ain’t chasing greatness, they’re building it brick by brick. Tyriek says everyone wants to live the lifestyle, but the only way you get there is with loyalty. Not to a brand, but to a bond.
Wes says that is how you shatter the glass ceiling. Not by selling out but by buying in, and holding it down with the ones that stand with you. They didn’t fit the mold, so they made their own. And so long as they do that and stay true to the cause, there will only be one outcome: they rise. Will Wes and his new crew soon stand tall over NXT, Evolve, and ALL of the WWE?
Andre Chase speaks with Uriah Connors & Kale Dixon.
Mr. Chase tells his students to stop being overzealous. They’re demanding matches, jumping into action without a plan, and that’s how they got beat up by OTM. Kale says that sucked. Chase agrees. They need to when to seize the moment, but also when to fall back. They need to know when to take risks, but when- Uriah says, “So what you’re saying is that we need to take more risks.” Kale says they can definitely do that. No, that’s not- But Kale & Uriah spot Ava. They want to talk, she says she has a minute so get to it. Mr. Chase wants the boys to take risks and seize the moment, so they wanna do just that!
Ava says okay, she was just looking over the card for next week, and there is still a spot open. They can be in action against… Dark State. Uh oh. D-Dark State? But that’s four of them and two of Chase U… Well, no, it’ll be a Six Man Tag. Take those risks and have fun! Mr. Chase can’t believe what he just got dragged into… Kale says at least they all get to team up. Chase says they’re not a team! What will it take for Mr. Chase to reach these kids?
Luca Crusifino finds Tony D’Angelo backstage.
The Consigliere starts to ask about Battleground, but The Don tells him to sit down. Luca sits at the table, and Tony says we all thought Stacks clipped Luca in the desert. Then Luca shows up in Tampa like he was on vacation, and he just stares Tony down. Luca says he had no idea what to do. Tony doesn’t wanna hear excuses, but Luca says on his mother’s eyes, Stacks drove Luca further out into that desert and just left him there. Luca was just as shocked. Oh, just left him, huh? Then why didn’t he reach out? Well, Rizzo was in hiding, Stacks attacks Tony at the safehouse, and if Luca reached out, he might’ve put them all at risk.
Tony sighs, thinks on it, and says this still doesn’t smell right. Luca says Rizzo’s number was disconnected. After seeing everything going on, Luca had to come back. Tony says okay, so Luca comes back at Battleground, but he costs Tony the match? That was not Luca’s intent! Then what was? No, save it. Tony doesn’t know who to trust right now. Luca says he can be trusted. Is that true? Or is there more than meets the eye to this?
Trick Williams is here!
The fans fire up for the NEW TNA World Champion, and they chant “WHOOP DAT TRICK! WHOOP DAT TRICK!” Trick struts to the ring and grabs the mic to cut his music. “Reporting to you live, the sexiest and most entertaining superstar alive, Hollywood Trick has finally arrived!” Trick says he is making history this time! The fans chant “TRICK N A!” Trick says for the first time ever, and NXT superstar is holding the TNA gold! But add to that: TWO-TIME NXT Champion, ONE-TIME North American Champion, Iron Survivor Winner, let’s talk about it! Nah, forget that! Don’t you start clapping now!
If memory serves, a lot of the ones clapping were also waving their hands from side to side and playing singalong with #AverageJoe! If you were in that, he has one thing to say to you: “Don’t you feel stupid?” The fans are torn, but Trick grins as the “Average Joe!” chant starts. And speaking of average and stupid, why is everyone trying to figure out where’s the line between NXT and TNA? TNA and NXT? DAMMIT, don’t you cross Trick Williams cuz he IS the line! The fans chant “He’s The Line!” Trick says since NXT didn’t appreciate him like they should, he gonna go to TNA, wear this gold nice and proud. It look good, don’t it?
Check who else held this gold before: Kurt Angle; Drew McIntyre; Bully Ray Dudley; AJ Styles! But none of them compare to Trick Williams! Especially not Joe Hendry. So here’s how it goes: He is turning his back on the people cuz they turned their back on him. Yes, you did! You sang along! He remembers! Trick is gonna go to TNA, talk to management, all them who work for Trick now, and they gonna make some changes. Starting with the name! IT is now… TRICK’N A! But wait! Santana makes his way out here! The Standard says, “Big Trick Willy, huh?! The main man on the block, right?” Trick says let’s talk about it.
Santana says hey, he personally wanted to come out here and give him props for Sunday. Trick says he’ll say this. Santana just made his first mistake by interrupting his champion. Oh, first and foremost, let’s get this straight: Trick is NOT Santana’s champion. Second, Trick made a terrible first impression by coming out here as TNA’s champion and trying to tear down TNA. But guess what? TNA been killin’ the game! TNA been gainin’ momentum day after day! And the last thing that Santana is gonna do is sit back and as the man that carries the flag and watch someone else tear it down after what Santana and that TNA locker room have done to build it up!
The fans cheer, and Santana tells Trick, that ain’t happening. Trick tells Santana that obviously, he doesn’t get how things work. But that’s because Santana has never been THE TNA World Champion. So he’ll help Santana out. When you ARE the top champion of your brand, once you have carried that weight, only then can you call the shots! Santana says Trick makes him laugh. But guess what? People like Trick also piss Santana off. Let’s remind Trick, as he obviously needs a refresher… Santana is a loud ‘n’ proud Boricua from the Bronx, baby! The fans cheer that! Santana has seen guys like Trick come and go.
But let Santana be the one to tell Trick, he’s a pretender! Trick is a pretend fighter, a pretend rapper, what with those heels and tight pants. And after last Sunday at Battleground, Trick is a pretend champion! But Santana will tell Trick that Santana is the illest and realest! Trick ain’t ever dealt with someone like him! But to spit facts, Santana will be the man to take that TNA World Championship off Trick! Trick says let’s be real. Santana can keep popping off, but Trick will take off his pepper steppers and beat Santana’s ass! But wait, is that Santino Morella on the tron? He wants everyone to just take it easy, he sees it is getting heated.
And Santana will say this, “Tricky Williams,” congratulations on the victory. But as TNA Director of Authority, he wants Trick to know that he will be a fighting champion. Santino already spoke with Ava, and next week, Trick defends that title against Mike Santana! The fans are fired up already! Trick’s first defense is coming up fast, and Santana offers a handshake. Trick leaves him hanging, but then takes a swing! Santana blocks to throw haymakers! Then he THROWS Trick! The fans fire up as The Standard locks eyes on the belt. Trick says don’t do it, but Santana holds the belt up high! Will Trick’s first defense also be his last?
Ava talks with Stephanie Vaquer.
The NXT General Manager knows La Primera asked for this match tonight, but Ava has to address the rest of what happened at Battleground. At Worlds Collide, Vaquer will have a tag match against Dalys & Chika Tormenta. Ava knows that’s a lot on her plate, but Vaquer needs to find a tag partner. Vaquer thanks Ava for the news, and promises to find a partner. But first, she’ll defend her title. Wait, Lola Vice already volunteers! She’ll totally team with Vaquer. Ava says that’s perfect! Good luck out there. Lola says Vaquer doesn’t need luck to handle Jacy. Will Vaquer rock the Toxic Rockstar to then join Lola in LA?
Tatum Paxley VS Jaida Parker!
Loneliness can be soul crushing, and no one’s soul has been crushed more lately than Tatum’s. But will she use the pain she feels as motivation? Or will Miss Parker give her some physical pain to go along with the emotional?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Jaida powers Tatum to the corner, gets up in her face, but the ref counts. Jaida pushes Tatum, talks trash, but Tatum puts Jaida int he corner! Tatum CHOKES Jaida, Jaida shoves her back and RUNS her over. Things keep moving, Tatum hurdles, then rolls back to victory roll Jaida, TWO! Tatum dodges Jaida, underhooks, and BUTTERFLY SUPLEXES! Jaida flounders, Tatum snarls, and Tatum bumps Jaida off buckles! Tatum goes all three levels, but then Jada reverses. Tatum stops herself, but Jaida hits a BACKSTABBER! Tatum flounders away, Jaida runs up and RAMS into her!
The ref counts as Jaida digs her shoulders in. Jaida puts Tatum in the ropes, CHOPS her, then goes side to side for the TEAR DROP! Jaida high steps it while Tatum flounders, and then Jaida storms back up on Tatum. Jaida KICKS Tatum, ELBOW DROPS, then clamps on with the motorcycle stretch. Tatum endures, the fans rally, but Jaida stands on Tatum. Tatum fights up, turns around, but Jaida sits her back down! Jaida steps over to sit on Tatum! Tatum sputters, Jaida brings her up with a dragon sleeper, but Tatum slips free and O’Conner Rolls! TWO, and Jaida runs up. Tatum dodge sin the corner, rolls Jaida up, TWO!
Tatum jumps up to KNEE SMASH! Jaida staggers, Tatum rallies with forearm after forearm! ENZIGIRI! Jaida sputters, Tatum runs up again, CROSSBODY in the corner! Tatum snapmares Jaida, the fans rally, and Tatum runs to ROLLING AX KICK! Jaida staggers around, and Tatum SHOTGUNS her down! Jaida tumbles out, Tatum wants after her, but the ref holds Tatum back. Jaida sees the doll collection and tags the Gigi! She throws that one in, the ref reprimands and Tatum hurries after Gigi. Tatum cries, but the HIP-NOTIC hits!! Cover, Jaida wins!
Winner: Jaida Parker, by pinfall
That was cold blooded! Jaida uses Tatum’s emotions against her, but wait! THEA HAL is on Jaida! The fans cheer, Jaida gets free, but Thea wants the arm! Jaida scrambles away! Thea wants payback for the unwarranted hip attack last week, will she have her vengeance?
Jasper Troy speaks.
“Who is Jasper Troy? There was never doubt that I was going to win LFG. I’m gonna make an impact in NXT, and it starts tonight.” The LFG Season 1 Champion is ready, but who will “welcome” him to NXT?
Jasper Troy VS Dante Chen!
It would seem the Singapore Superhero is stepping up to this iron wall of a man! Will Troy look to destroy all in his way to the top?
The bell rings, the two tie up, and Troy puts Chen right in a corner. The ref counts, Troy brings Chen around to put on the ropes, but the ref counts again. Troy lets off slowly, but Chen whips. Troy blocks, reels Chen in, but Chen slips under to headlock. Troy powers up, Chen holds tight, so Tory lifts him to put on the apron! The ref counts, Chen lets go, but Troy grabs Chen by the neck! Troy runs Chen side to side but Chen avoids hitting the post! Chen bumps Troy off buckles, climbs up, and he leaps, only for Troy to get under. Chen comes back, Troy scoops him, but Chen slips free. Chen shoves Tory, runs up, but into a BACKDROP!
Troy huffs ‘n’ puffs and he runs up to ALRAIT Chen up and out! The fans fire up, Troy goes outside after Chena, and Troy fireman’s carries. SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans rally, Troy puts Chen in, and Chen scrambles up. Troy clamps on with a chinlock and thrashes him around! Troy then fireman’s carries to HOTSHOT Chen off the ropes! Chen staggers, Troy SPLASHES him in the corner! Troy scoops for a RUNNING BACKBREAKER! Troy bends Chen back against his knee! But Chen fires knees! Troy shoves Chen down, but Chen UP KICKS! And UP KICKS again! Troy shakes that off, comes back, and he whips.
Chen ducks ‘n’ dodges, then BOOTS Troy! Troy snarls, Chen LARIATS, but Troy stays up. Chen fires a forearm, but Troy stays up. Chen fires hands, and an ENZIGIRI! The fans fire up, Chen runs, but Troy picks him up! Chen kicks off ropes to TORNADO DDT! The fans fire up as Chen BOOTS Troy down! Troy staggers, Chen aims, DOUBLE CHOP! Troy rebounds to BODY CHECK!! Troy roars, the fans fire up, BLACK HOLE SLAM!! Cover, Troy wins!
Winner: Jasper Troy, by pinfall
But wait! Here comes Oba Femi! The Ruler still owes the new guy from a few weeks ago! Oba is in the perch and he tells Troy that he was very impressed. But at least Oba has the decency to show Troy the respect he deserves, unlike Troy did with Oba. Oba says he could have easily come into that ring and jumped Troy from behind, then beat him down like a thief. But Oba would not do that. Troy better enjoy his five seconds of fame, because now that he has Oba’s attention, it is over! The NXT Champion puts Troy on notice, when and where will these titans battle it out?
No Quarter Catch Crew regroups backstage.
Myles says Tavion did great representing NXT against Santana. Tavion thanks Myles for that, then Dempsey and Wren walk in. Dempsey is glad that everyone is here. Tavion and Myles looked strong in their matches, the NQCC is proud. But… They also tried to prove themselves as singles wrestlers and failed. Therefore, the only course left is to refocus as a group. Myles asks, “What?” And no, that’s not cuz he’s hard of hearing. Myles isn’t just going to go backwards after a loss to Oba. Myles proved he belongs on the big stage. Wren says yeah, he did! Myles will not retreat to some shell.
Dempsey says Myles isn’t ready for the deep waters. Uh, Myles actually is, Charlie. No, that’s his youth and inexperience talking. Dempsey brought Myles into the NQCC, and if anyone decides- Myles brings up beating Dempsey. Would that prove he’s ready? Dempsey says that isn’t happening. Well then let’s do it! Just like the good ol’ days, right? Myles VS Dempsey, and if Myles wins, Dempsey lets Myles go. Dempsey says fine, but let’s make it a British Rounds match. Deal. The two shake on it, Myles leaves, and Wren asks Dempsey why he has to do this. But will Dempsey keep Myles under his thumb? Or will Myles use Dempsey’s favorite match against him?
Ethan Page is back in the ring…?
“Ladies and gentlemen, standing before you is arguably the greatest North American to hold the North American Championship, and I ain’t waiting to celebrate! We are celebrating TONIGHT!” The fans boo but wait! Je’Von Evans is here! “Dang, you turnin’ up and didn’t invite me, bro? We got history! I’m still waiting on you to pay for my jaw injury, but congratulations, bro. I can’t think of nobody more underserving to win the NXT North American Championship! Like, if we gonna be deadass, last week, when you poured off on me during the Triple Threat, that cost me. And I couldn’t live with that.
“So, earlier tonight, after you won, I was talking with Ava, and since we have this big showcase with WWE and AAA called Worlds Collide, you, champ, will be defending that precious NXT North American Championship at Worlds Collide against ME, the Young OG!” Ethan says no, no, no, hold on! Je’Von does not DESERVE a shot at Ethan! He deserves to put on a mask, even though he’s not a luchador! Right, right, Worlds Collide isn’t just WWE and NXT, Ethan’s got a lot of people gunning for him. But everybody in NXT knows dat boi BOUNCY~! But… Brother here has hops, too. Wait, LAREDO KID is here!
The fans cheer as AAA’s rising star comes in from the crowd, and he thanks Je’Von for the intro. Laredo Kid says, “Let me introduce myself. I am Laredo Kid, the most complete luchador you will ever see. I have won championships from TNA to AAA, and now… I come for the North American Championship match!” Ethan says hold on, hold on, is this a Triple Threat now? NO! Ethan says tonight is his celebration, and he won’t let these two ruin his night! Je’Von sarcastically says, “Oh~ no~! I forgot, I forgot, my bad. You still going against one more person” What?! REY FENIX?!?
The fans fire up as the Firebird says it is good to be here in NXT! The fans sure love the idea! And Fenix says this passion, this spirit, everyone has been telling Fenix about it! And Ethan may have just won that title, but unfortunately for him, on Saturday, June 7th, he’s gonna lose it! The fans cheer that! Fenix says at Worlds Collide, it will be a FATAL 4 WAY for that NXT North American Championship! And Fenix hopes Ethan will be ready, because on that night, Fenix brings the fire, and he will burn Ethan up! ANIMO!! This is going to be a hot match to kick off the Summer! Will All Ego even stand a chance?
Ava, Stevie Turner & Robert Stone talk backstage.
Suit Man Stone says this is wild! Ethan’s got his hands full for Worlds Collide! Can you believe it? Ava can, cuz she booked it. Stevie says hold on, hold on. Sean Legacy won that Triple Threat to be a contender. Why’s Ava throwing in these three other people? Okay, okay, hold on. Ava says the reason why it is a Fatal 4 Way at Worlds Collide is because Ava wanted talent from AAA, NXT and even main roster to get their opportunity. She did not forget Sean. Stone says Sean is still the first WWE ID talent to get a title match in NXT. Stevie accepts that. Ava says to her point, Sean Legacy will get his opportunity, 1v1, after Worlds Collide.
Stevie says that is absolutely perfect. And tomorrow night, let us not forget! WWE Evolve on Tubi makes history by crowning the FIRST-EVER WWE Evolve Women’s Champion! Kylie Rae VS Wendy Choo VS Kendal Grey VS Kali Armstrong! Ava will be watching, won’t she? Yes, Prime Minister. Stone will be on commentary, too. Who will be crowned as the first-ever WWE Evolve Women’s Champion? And who makes it out of LA just to run into #SuperSean?
Stephanie Vaquer heads for gorilla.
But waiting along the way are the many stars of the Women’s Division, including Karmen Petrovic, Kendal Grey, Carlee Bright, Nikkita Lyons, Kelani Jordan, and Lash Legend! They all want that title, but will the NXT Women’s Champion still be La Primera? Or will the Toxic Rockstar pull off the upset of the decade?
NXT Women’s Championship: Stephanie Vaquer VS Jacy Jayne w/ The Fatal Influence!
Battleground was hard fought for the champion given she was against the Juggernaut. But the constant bickering of these toxic elements sparked a confrontation, and that then made this match. Will Vaquer humble Jacy once and for all? Or is she falling into a trap?
Well speaking of traps, Jacy just jumps Vaquer the moment Vaquer is in the ring! Jacy stomps away, the fans boo, but Jacy says she’s the next champ! Vaquer stops a punch to SLAP Jacy! And SOBAT! The fans rally for “LA PRIMERA!” as she whips, but Jacy reverses. Vaquer ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, roll-up, and cover, TWO! Jacy is up, she kicks, but Vaquer blocks to SOBAT again! Vaquer whips again, then blows past Jacy to spin and arm-drag! Jacy comes back, Vaquer sweeps to cover, ONE! Jacy sweeps to cover, ONE! Both women stand, Vaquer fires forearms, then she snapmares. Vaquer wants it and the afns cheer!
Vaquer smiles and wraps on the headscissors! But Jacy pops out the back! The fans boo but Jacy KICKS Vaquer in the side! Jacy runs to SENTON! Cover, TWO! Jacy sits Vaquer up to KICK her! And KICK again! Cover, TWO! Vaquer stays in this, the fans rally but Jacy drags her up. The fans rally, Jacy whips Vaquer to a corner, then runs up and back body blocks! Jacy reels Vaquer in for a suplex! Cover, TWO! The fans rally behind Vaquer but Jacy smirks. Jacy whips Vaquer, runs in, but Vaquer BOOTS her down! Vaquer then dribbles Jacy’s face off buckles! Vaquer scrubs Jacy’s face, then goes corner to corner.
But wait, Chika Tormenta y Dalys are here tonight?! They get on the apron, Vaquer BLASTS them both down, and Lola Vice helps out! The fans fire up as Lola brawls with Dalys, but then Chika is after her, too! Refs and security rush back out here, they get those three out of here, but Jacy rolls Vaquer! TWO, SUPERKICK from Vaquer! Jacy is on the ropes, Vaquer 619s! The fans fire up, Vaquer springboards, CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Jacy survives that shot but the fans still rally behind Vaquer as NXT goes picture in picture.
Vaquer stalks Jacy, drags her up, and whips. Jacy sunset flips but Vaquer stays up! She scrapes her heels off Jacy’s face to then drops a leg, brother! Cover, TWO! Jacy survives but Vaquer is right on her. Jacy ROCKS Vaquer, but Vaquer ROCKS Jacy, and repeat! They go back and forth, Jacy whips, but Vaquer reverses. Vaque runs up, Jacy ELBOWS Vaquer, then NECKBREAKERS! Both women are down and Vaquer scrambles to the outside. Jacy pursues but aims from the apron. Jacy PENALTY KICKS Vaquer down! Jacy snarls as she brings Vaquer back up, and she puts Vaquer back in the ring.
Vaquer goes to a corner and Jacy stomps a mudhole into her! The ref counts, Jacy backs off to soak up heat, then Jacy runs back in, CANNONBALL! Jacy drags Vaquer to a cover, TWO! Vaquer shows the toughness that made her champion, but Jacy SMACKS her off the mat! Jacy clamps onto Vaquer to bend her back with a chinlock stretch. Vaquer endures, fights up, but Jacy THROWS her down! Jacy clamps back onto Vaquer with the chinlock, but Vaquer fights up again. Vaquer powers Jacy back, but Jacy sends her into buckles! NXT returns to single picture while the fans boo. Jacy runs in, but Vaquer catches her!
Vaquer wrenches and SMACKS Jacy off buckles, then sunset flips! Jayc rolls through, PENALTY KICK! The fans boo but Jacy rains down fists! The ref reprimands about pulling hair, but Jacy basement SUPERKICKS! Cover, TWO! Jacy grows frustrated, Fallon says she would’ve won by now, but the fans continue to rally for Vaquer. Jacy drags Vaquer up, but Vaquer throws hands. Jacy KNEES low, fireman’s carries, but Vaquer slips free to shove. Jacy BOOTS Vaquer, then SLINGBLADE BACKBREAKERS! The fans boo, but Jacy lines up a shot. Vaquer staggers to her feet, but she scoops Jacy first! BACKBREAKER!
Jacy staggers into another scoop and BACKBREAKER! Things speed up, both women grab hair for a FACEBUSTER! The fans fire up while both women are down! The fans cheer on “NXT!” as Jacy and Vaquer rise. Vaquer HEADBUTTS, but Jacy SLAPS! Vaquer fires off HEABDUTT after HEADBUTT, then serves up SOLE FOOD! Jacy goes to a corner, Vaquer LARIATS and sits her down! Vaquer scrubs Jacy with her boot, then runs corner to corner, METEORA! The fans fire up and Vaquer pushes Jacy to a cover, TWO! Vaquer snarls, reels Jacy in, but Jacy powers out! Vaquer slips around, backslides, ONE, and Jacy KNEES Vaquer! Cover, TWO!
Vaquer survives and Jacy grows frustrated. Jazmyn coaches Jacy, Fallon doesn’t seem to care either way, but Jacy runs in, CANNONBALL only gets buckles as Vaquer moves! Jacy staggers up, Vaquer runs in, and Vaquer blocks boots. DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Jacy writhes and falls out of the ring. Vaquer goes to the apron, Jacy clings to the apron skirt, but Vaquer still brings her up. Jacy TRIPS Vaquer! Vaquer is on the floor, Jacy goes up, but Vaquer blocks the kick!

Jacy swings, but into the HANGING ARMBAR!! But Jazmyn is back, and she gets on the apron to distract the ref! FALLON TIGER FEINTS VAQUER!!! The fans boo as Fallon shoves Vaquer in! Jacy hits the ENCORE!! Cover, JACY WINS?!?!
Winner: Jacy Jayne, by pinfall (NEW NXT Women’s Champion)
Literally everyone is stunned, but Jacy is finally THE NXT Women’s Champion! Granted, it took both of her friends to pull off this absolute sham of a win, but apparently that was the plan all along. NXT is now under the Influence, how toxic is the Women’s Division going to get?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for NXT, and what a wild way to follow up Battleground. Stephanie Vaquer VS Jacy Jayne for the title even being booked was a surprise in itself, and then what a bold move for them to take this title off Vaquer on TV and not at Battleground. I did appreciate that we saw a lot of the other women of NXT watching Vaquer walk to gorilla, it was a foreshadowing but in a way I did not expect. Granted, they also overbooked the main event with bringing out Dalys & Chika Tormenta and then Lola Vice, and they even gave us that Fatal Influence fallout fake-out to lower even Vaquer’s guard against Fallon attacking her. A very well protected loss for Vaquer, and I suppose this opens the door for Jordynne Grace to get one more try now that she’ll be able to bulldoze all of Fatal Influence at once.
Very good NXT debut match for Jasper Troy with Dante Chen. Poor Chen, he gets hurt, comes back, gets hurt, comes back, gets squashed. But Oba confronting Troy was great, too, can’t wait to see that match. Good match from Tatum VS Jaida but of course Jaida won to then cue Thea going after her. Jaida VS Thea will be great, and it’d be more fitting if they moved to a Triple Threat, not a tag match, because Tatum doesn’t even really like Thea, she’s jealous of Thea having friends out there. The winner of that can then move on towards a title match while the other two settle their own issues, a real win-win for NXT.
Good promo from Briggs & Inamura, and I like that Inamura was vague about the goals beyond tag titles and The Culling. They’re still gonna have that grudge match, but it’d be really fitting this story if Inamura wanted to try a singles title run first before worrying about tag titles. I still feel like Briggs is going to end up with The Culling because of Brooks Jensen. Very good promo from the new Chase U, and they of course step in it again. Dark State is going to eat up Kale & Uriah, and I wonder if that compels Mr. Chase to try harder with them. We could get a fun training montage that helps Kale & Uriah take things more seriously, but also bring up old memories of Duke & Riley.
Good promo from Tony and Luca to keep us wondering whose side Luca is on, and there has to be a rematch of Tony VS Stacks to help smoke out the truth. Very good promo from Wes & The High Ryze, I’m sure they’ll get going across NXT, TNA and even Evolve, maybe make moves towards titles on the other side of Worlds Collide as we head for Great American Bash, and hopefully win something to justify the trio.
The rest of tonight was all so greatly intertwined, a real textbook example that should be followed. Ricky VS Ethan opening turned out really well, especially using the concept of “There MUST be a winner!” That cutter to the chair was nuts, but that chair was clearly “gimmicked” to break like that. Ricky sold it perfectly, it really added drama, and because of that, Ethan of course won. Ethan talking later was a headscratcher until Je’Von showed up to start us on that Fatal 4 Way news. And NXT was even smart enough to give us Ava, Stevie & Stone talking out the logic of making Sean Legacy wait. That Fatal 4 Way is going to be insane, and then there’s also potential for Sean Legacy bringing the WWE Evolve Championship along for what would surely be another great match.
Great match from Santana VS Heights, and Santana naturally won. The NQCC had a good promo together, and I like Myles wanting his independence from Dictator Dempsey. It might be a bit easy for Myles to win the British Rounds match, but perhaps they can go to the time limit on round six and give us sudden death overtime to truly have Myles shows Dempsey he is ready. Great promo from Trick and Santana to give us Trick’s first title defense, but I wouldn’t expect Trick to be one ‘n’ done. Trick surely shows up on TNA this Thursday to help hype the match, shows up on more Impacts through the summer, then maybe loses this title on a TNA PPV or special episode as payback for how he won it on a WWE show.
My Score: 8.9/10
