No Disqualifications: B-Fab w/ Hit Row VS Elektra Lopez w/ Legado del Fantasma!
Someone’s about to feel real bad and big mad as we have a gritty grudge match to open the night! But before the match, Ashante Thee Adonis says tonight is all about the ladiiiiies~! Hey~! Oh~! Ladies in the house tonight, say hey! “Now, it is an honor and a gift to be in y’all’s presence.” But speaking of, the NXT Women’s Championship is on the card, Franky Monet VS Raquel Gonzalez. Ladies, today is your day. And Top Dolla says don’t even get him started on the tag titles. Shirai & Stark might get their titles snatched. Nothing personal, just business. Maybe some titles switches. Dolla’s betting on Toxic Attraction cuz they some of the baddest- Women.
But what title ain’t being defended? Swerve’s. Again! But no one is trying to come for it, like Santos Escobar. However, we do get Strong VS Waller for the Cruiserweight title. And we all know Baldie Bivens the mastermind at just 4′ 9″. In the meantime, let’s pay attention to the “dime of mine,” B-Fab. It’s real, and the spotlight is on B. And she about to beat the brakes off Lopez like she owes currency. Money money money~! Lopez may be big but she ain’t bad. When she in the ring with B-Fab, she gonna be big mad! If you didn’t know, now you know! But here comes Legado already! Will all that talk be backed up? Or will B-Fab have to eat her words?
B-Fab goes out after Lopez, Lopez throws her jacket, B-Fab throws hands! They end up in the ring, the bell rings and the forearms keep flying! Lopez and B-Fab tie up, Lopez pulls hair but so does B-Fab! Lopez knees low, then knees again. Lopez pie-faces but B-Fab scorpion kicks! B-Fab dropkicks Lopez out, then goes to the apron. B-Fab aims and leaps to AX HANDLE Lopez down! B-Fab talks trash, Lopez throws forearms back. The scrap continues but B-Fab bumps Lopez off the apron. Lopez elbows back, fires off forearms then goes looking under the ring. She brings out the trash cans, but B-Fab throws more hands! B-Fab throws Lopez down by her hair then rains down rights!
B-Fab brings Lopez up but Lopez RAMS her into the steel steps! Hit Row checks on B-Fab but Escobar gloats on behalf of Lopez. Mendoza swings on Dolla with the trash can! But Dolla PUNCHES the can out of Mendoza’s hands! Then Dolla throws hands on Mendoza’s head! Adonis and Wilde get involved, too, and then Swerve LEAPS onto Escobar! This is becoming a wild brawl but referees rush out to stop that! NXT tries to make this just B-Fab VS Lopez while going to commercial break!
NXT returns and Lopez digs her boots into B-Fab in the corner. Lopez only lets off to go out and bring out a TABLE! Fans fire up as Lopez has a sadistic grin. But B-Fab STOMPS the table out of Lopez’s hand. They fight over the table, Lopez RAMS it into B-Fab’s stomach! Lopez stands up one leg of the table, then fireman’s carries B-Fab over to it. B-Fab fights free to avoid disaster, then she RAMS Lopez into the apron! Lopez falls, B-Fab stomps a leg and slams it on the floor. B-Fab SLAMS Lopez’s leg against the table leg! B-Fab shoves Lopez into the ring, follows in after her, but Lopez kicks B-Fab’s own leg out! B-Fab lands on her face and Lopez goes out to fetch kendo sticks!
Lopez also puts chairs in the ring, then hobbles over to B-Fab. B-Fab wants to swing a chair but Lopez kicks her low. Lopez then scoops and SLAMS B-Fab on a chair! And then again to another chair! Lopez sets a chair up upside-down but B-Fab hits low. B-Fab crawls to the far side but Lopez storms over. B-Fab drop toeholds Lopez onto the chair legs! Lopez checks her face but B-Fab JAMS her in the ribs! And then has a kendo stick to SMACK her down! And again! And again! B-Fab sits a chair right side up, but Lopez CROSSBODIES her onto it! The chair crumbles under them but Lopez sets up a new chair. Lopez fireman’s carries B-Fab for a GUT BUSTER with the chair!
Lopez tosses chairs out to clear some space. B-Fab shoves Lopez back but Lopez reels her in for a BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, Lopez wins!
Winner: Elektra Lopez, by pinfall
Chair after chair after chair, and B-Fab could not sit back up! Lopez wins for the glory of Legado del Fantasma, will she be looking to go for gold next?
NXT catches up with the #InDex Honeymoon.
Indi & Dexter walk hand in hand at the beach, enjoying sun, surf and even some sand art. Cheers to the happy couple as they sunbathe, with Johnny and Candice spying on them. It’s good to see the kids having good, safe fun. Candice asks if Johnny remembers their honeymoon. Oh yeah, he does. Oh wait that’s a bad thing. Indi wants #SexyDexy to join her in the water. Indi definitely gets Dexter’s attention and he likes it. Johnny says this is getting too friendly… But he has an idea! Be right back! OMG it’s a shark! Dexter carries Indi away to safety! But it was just Jaw-nny Wrestling! He knew that’d work to get them to leave the beach. But will Gargano’s plans only backfire on him?
“Ladies and gentlemen: Joe Gacy.”
Gacy says yes, he IS Joe Gacy. “And contrary to popular opinion, this is still our safe space. Last week, on NXT 2.0, I made a huge impact. And I have not been cancelled. I made a bigger impact than superstars like Tommaso Ciampa, Roderick Strong and Bron Breakker, using only my words. I didn’t throw one single punch.” See, Gacy speaks for a generation that no one understands except for themselves, “the enlightened ones.” The rest of you are living in a darkened, obsolete world. When he went to the back, there were nothing but “triggered” faces, and he doesn’t understand. Gacy is inclusive! They can solve all of their conflicts with simple discussion and resolution.
“No one person can change the world. But I’m here to usher in the world to a new normal.” Gacy won’t take too much more of our time with a match coming up so thank you for your open minds. Is that really what’s happening here? Or is Gacy just fooling himself?
Xyon Quinn VS Oney Lorcan!
A rematch from 205 Live where these two threw heavy hands, they look more than ready for round two! Who stands tall now that they’re on Tuesday night?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Oney headlocks, Xyon powers out then runs Oney over. Oney gets up fast and pie faces, but Xyon SHOVES Oney out of the ring! Xyon goes out after Oney but Oney hurries back in. Things speed up, Xyon CLOBBERS Oney with an uppercut! Xyon snarls, gets Oney up but Oney throws an elbow and kicks, then a basement uppercut! Oney rains down furious fists then paces around. Xyon gets to a corner, Oney CHOPS him! And uppercuts, then throws haymakers. The ref counts, Oney lets off but Xyon TOSSES Oney away! Xyon storms in but into a throat chop! Oney CHOP BLOCKS a leg, Xyon falls and Oney drags him for more ground ‘n’ pound!
Fans rally for Xyon but Oney clamps on with a chinlock. Oney squeezes tight, Xyon fights up and throws body shots. Oney CLUBS Xyon on the back but he just roars! Xyon throws haymakers and a SPINNING HEADBUTT! Oney staggers up into an atomic drop, Xyon runs to LARIAT! Fans fire up as Oney staggers back up and Xyon RAMS him into the corner! Xyon fireman’s carries for a SAMOAN DROP and kip up! Fans fire up again as Xyon powers up with the Haka! Oney slowly stands, into the RUNNING FOREARM! Cover, Xyon wins!
Winner: Xyon Quinn, by pinfall
That’s 2-0 for Xyon against the Boston Brawler! From 205 Live to NXT 2.0, is Xyon going to be number one with a bullet?
Grayson Waller speaks.
“I’m a thrill junkie. I jump out of a plane and ask questions later. I don’t put my surfboard in the water without riding the biggest wave.” He is a survivor and a risk taker. He is taking his chance with Roderick Strong! His first singles match on NXT will be for the Cruiserweight Champion, and after tonight, everyone will know his name! But will we know him for winning or for losing to the Savior of the Backbreaker?
MSK is here!
The NXT Tag Team Champions, Wes Lee & Nash Carter, are here to talk about putting respect on their names! But what will they have to say and who will they call out after the break?
NXT returns and Samantha Irvin is in the ring with the champs. She says they’ve been enjoying the view from the top, but what’s next for them? Hmm, what’s next for MSK? It’s that they’re gonna keep smoking… the tag team division! And they’re not content to just be champions. They will remain fighting champions like they said they’d be way back when. So it could be the old bulls or the young calves, everyone can step up, and get knocked down. BOOKA BOOKA! But the Grizzled Young Veterans walk out and James Drakes asks if they’re claiming to be fighting champions. Then where oh where is GYV’s shot?
Zack Gibson says this little reign means NOTHING until MSK defends against the Grizzled Young Veterans, SSSOON to- be interrupted by Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams! Hate to interrupt the back ‘n forth, but if we’re talking soon to be champs, just say Melo’s name. Melo is in the chocolate factory cuz he has the golden ticket. He might even be in the mood for the titles. How ’bout it, Trick? Oh they ’bout it, ’bout it, let’s go! But Melo has Trick slow his roll while Gibson asks what they’re going on about. If they’re talking tag titles, then the line starts behind GYV! But MSK tells them both to shut their asses up! The champs are still talking.
But Wes tells Melo & Trick can keep poppin’ off. Use that Breakout contract to come for them, and they’ll learn real quick what the blokes be forgetting. As for GYV, MSK has proven they’re better already. But if they insist, then let’s dance! Gibson asks why everyone talks in riddles! What are they all on about? Wait, Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen stroll out now? Briggs & Brooks were about to crack open some cold ones but heard talk about gold ones so- Trick tells Briggs to get his heels clickin’ and boots scootin’! Jensen says this morning, he promised himself one thing. And that was that the first person to look at him sideways would get popped in the mouth. Found one!
Briggs & Brooks brawl with Trick & Melo! GYV turn around into SUPERKICKS from MSK! Those three teams end up together, MSK DOUBLE FLY! A moonsault and a tope, and only Briggs & Brooks are left standing! MSK welcomes all comers, but who will stand tallest to take on the champs?
Backstage interview with Raquel Gonzalez.
Big Mami Cool has a huge title defense tonight against Franky, but how is she feeling? Raquel knows Franky is good, and she isn’t overlooking her at all, but uh, she’s just another name about to be crossed off the list of everyone in Raquel’s way. La Wera Loca is about to learn how quickly she falls when- Oh wait, Toxic Attraction strolls by. Mandy says the title looks good on Raquel, but it’ll look better on her. Will Mandy be waiting when Ricky Desperado puts away Bougie Bad? And speaking of gold…
NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships: Io Shirai & Zoey Stark VS Toxic Attraction!
The Genius of the Sky and the Sin City Soldier may not be best buddies, but neither of them can stand Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne or Mandy Rose. Will the champions keep their golden bond strong? Or will their reign melt away against the Toxic Attraction?
NXT returns and the champs have already made their entrance. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see if having common enemies keeps Shirai & Stark together.
Shirai starts with Gigi and they tie up. Gigi wrenches, Shirai reverses to a headlock but Gigi pulls hair. Gigi pushes Shirai to ropes, Shirai runs her over, and things speed up. Shirai handsprings, Gigi sidesteps then tilt-o-whirls for a headscissors! But Shirai handsprings through that, and SHOTGUNS Gigi into the corner! Jacy tags in to slow things down, and then she talks trash about being new champ. They tie up with knuckle locks, Jacy kicks low then pie faces Shirai. Jacy talks more trash about being the new champ but Shirai trips her up and throws hands! Mandy is disappointed as Shirai bumps Jacy off buckles.
Tag to Stark, she stomps a mudhole then CLUBS Jacy. Stark whips, Jacy reverses but Stark handsprings and sweeps the leg! Cover, TWO, to a cradle from Jacy! ONE, Stark has it, ONE! Jacy has it, TWO! Stark Oklahoma Rolls, TWO! Stark whips Jacy again, Jacy turns hip toss into a takedown, cover, TWO! Stark knees low, CHOPS but Jacy CHOPS back. Stark CHOPS then kicks, then whips Jacy a third time, Jacy grabs ropes, throws Stark out but Stark bobs ‘n’ weaves to HEEL KICK! Stark watches for Gigi, she slingshot sentons in! Cover, TWO! Mandy is getting frustrated for her team but Jacy gets to the apron.
Stark runs in but into a KNEE! Jacy slingshots and somersaults to run in, but into a lift! Gigi manages to tag in, Jacy victory rolls, then sets Stark up for Gigi’s PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO! Gigi drags Stark up, Stark JAWBREAKERS then CLOBBERS Gigi! Mandy gets on the apron, the ref has her back off and both Stark and Shirai watch her. Stark ROCKS Gigi, Shirai BOOTS Jacy, DOUBLE MISSILE DRPOKICKS send the Toxic Attraction out! Tag to Shirai and she builds speed to DIVE into a forearm! Stark goes up to LEAP to take out Jacy! Gigi goes up and aims at Stark to SENTON! Direct hit with that cannonball but Shirai’s up top already!

Cover, TWO! Jacy talks more smack, drags Shirai up and CLUBS her into a suplex! Cover, TWO! Jacy shouts and stomps Shirai. Shirai kicks Jacy away, crawls but Jacy grabs a leg. Shirai rolls and KICKS from below! Jacy staggers, hot tag to Stark! Stark rallies on Jacy and Gigi with big forearms! Stark fires off kicks and a ROUNDHOUSE, into a HALF ‘N’ HALF! Fans fire up with Stark as she runs and BASEMENT BOOTS Jacy down! Cover but Gigi drags Stark off!
Gigi swings but Stark shoves and clotheslines her out of the ring! Mandy check son Gigi but Jacy ROCKS Stark with a right! Stark dodges the boot to fireman’s carry and ROLLING SENTON! Stark goes up the corner and hits a PHOENIX- NO! She has to roll through as Jacy dodges, and then Jacy gets a RUNNING NECKBREAKER! Both women are down, fans rally up and Mandy shouts to Jacy. Stark tags Shirai back in, Jacy tags to Gigi! The Evil Genius rallies with big shoulders, then FLAPJACKS Gigi! Gigi flounders to ropes, Shirai comes in, TIGER FEINT! Shirai BOOTS Jacy, springboards back in, MISSILE DROPKICK for Gigi! Cover, TWO!!
Mandy is relieved her team is still in this, but Shirai has a CROSSFACE now! Gigi endures, Jacy runs in but Shira avoids the splash! Shirai has a DOUBLE CROSSFACE! But Mandy sneaks a foot onto the ropes so that’s a ropebreak! Wait, that was Jacy’s foot. Anyway, Shirai lets go, tags in Stark, but Stark springboards into Gigi’s clinch. Shirai runs in, Gigi and Stark both duck but Jacy BOOTS Shirai down! Gigi GERMAN SUPLEXES Stark, with a bridging cover! TWO!! Toxic Attraction can’t believe how close they came! “This is Awesome!” and far from over as Gigi & Jacy regroup. Tag to Jacy, she watches Stark rise and runs in to SUPERKICK!
Jacy howls and SUPER- NO! Stark hits the GO TO STARK!! Shirai tags in, she SHOTGUNS Gigi off the corner! Stark hurries over to PLANCHA Gigi down for good measure! Stark and Mandy stare down and Mandy tells Stark to calm down and back off. Shirai SHOTEIS Jacy, steps on her and goes up top! OVER THE MOONSAULT!! Cover, the champs win!
Winners: Io Shirai & Zoey Stark, by pinfall (still NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions)
Despite the best laid plans of Mandy Rose, Shirai & Stark still found a way to win! They may not have combo moves but winning together is all that matters! Will Shirai & Stark stick together through the rest of the 2.0 era?
Bron Breakker speaks.
“Bron Breakker is high energy, high intensity, high impact.” The last two weeks, he’s been shot out of a cannon and he loves it. Trash talking, veins bulging, white knuckle thrill ride. He knows the locker room is full of studs, but he’s here to whip ass! If that’s harsh, he don’t give a sh*t! You wanna friend? Get a dog. Make no bones about it, Bron’s goal is to be champion! And Ciampa better know, Bron isn’t a patient guy. Will Breakker get his chance at the Psycho Killer soon enough?
Tommaso Ciampa responds via video chat.
He thanks commentary for allowing the two-time champion this time. Hell of a video and first two weeks for Bron Breakker. But let’s not put him in the Hall of Fame just yet. Yes, Bron Breakker is not patient, message received loud and clear. But Bron should listen to Ciampa. “It took me 908 days to get this title back. A title that I never lost in the first place.” No one’s beaten him before, no one will beat him now. There’s little doubt that Ciampa VS Breakker happens sooner rather than later. When it does. Bron is going to drown in an ocean of inexperience. Ciampa gives Goldie a kiss and says bye. But when will we see Ciampa take on the hungry young star?
Boa w/ Tian Sha VS ???
Mei Ying’s last warrior standing is ready to fight again. But will he keep making her proud? Or will he lose and bring dishonor to the team?
NXT returns and we learn that Boa’s opponent is Andre Chase. Chase thinks he’s about to school Boa on behalf of Andre Chase University, but maybe he’s about to learn something you can’t teach in a classroom. The bell rings and Chase circles with Boa. They tie up, Boa snapmares, but Chase snapmares back. Chase hammerlocks, Boa gets up and slips through to hammerlock then headlock. Chase endures the grind, spins through to wrench and arm-drag to an armlock. Boa endures, fights up but Chase puts Boa on ropes. Chase lets off and talks trash but Boa KICKS him in the leg! Boa throws knees then whips Chase for another knee!
Boa whips and KNEES Chase again, then shoves him down. Boa STOMPS Chase’s hand, then BUZZ- NO, Chase ducks the kick to hit a NECKBREAKER! Chase stomps away on Boa, rains down rights, then talks trash. Fans chant for “Chase U!” as he stomps Boa around. Chase clamps on a chinlock and pulls Boa back against his knee. Boa endures, Mei Ying is stoic, and Boa fights up. Boa throws body shots but Chase throws him down! Chase pulls on Boa’s ear to stand him up and talk more trash. Boa blocks the kick to give a kick! And then another kick! And then a BOOT! Chase falls out of the ring and ends up at Mei Ying’s feet.
Chase storms up and shouts at the SOB, but then he turns around to talk trash on Mei Ying. He gets DRAGON BREATH for it! Chase stumbles into the ring, STRAIGHT SHOT from Boa! ELBOW DROP DDT! Cover, Boa wins!
Winner: Boa, by pinfall
Chase may be a professor, but he needs to learn when not to talk. Will Boa soon target a title for the glory of Tian Sha?
NXT checks back in with #InDex and The Way.
Johnny is still proud of his plan but Candice asks where Indi and Dexter went. Well, back to their room, right? And what’s in their bedroom but a BED! Oh, well, that’s fine! What’s the worst that could happen? Then they both look at Candice’s own Baby Wrestling baby bump and Johnny hurries out! #InDex needs protection! Johnny asks around for the room key to Lumis 512. He gets help from the room service and Gargano gets inside. Security sure is bad around here. Bedroom found! Undies found… But yes, condoms found, too. A lot of them… How much are they planning on doing?! Are they at least going to stay hydrated?
InDex is on their way back already! Indi says those chicken fingers for lunch were amazing. Just like Dexter. Oh oops, did she leave the door unlocked? Sorry about that. Johnny panics and hides in the closet! Indi asks if Dex is thinking what she’s thinking. “Give it to me. Harder!” Oh it’s just a pillow fight. But a naughty one… They decide to take a nap, and Johnny uses this moment to sneak back out. But Dexter is watching. He gives Johnny a thumbs up and pulls out the long roll of “protection.” Sounds like it’s gonna be a long honeymoon…
NXT Cruiserweight Championship: Roderick Strong w/ The Diamond Mine VS Grayson Waller!
The Savior of the Backbreaker, with help from his lackeys- er, trainees, took the title from the Time Splitter, and now it’s HIS time to reign! But will the 21st Century Success Story make it his time already? Or will Waller be anything but baller after tonight?
But no time for introductions or title raising as Waller runs in from the crowd side and CLOBBERS Strong! Waller knows he’s taking a big chance so he’s taking no chance in letting Diamond Mine get the edge! Waller fires off forearms on Roddy then BOOTS him out! Fans fire up as Waller DIVES and takes Strong out at the ramp! Strong staggers up and is furious as NXT goes to break!
NXT returns and Waller clotheslines Strong in the corner. Fans rally behind him as he whips corner to corner. Strong goes up and over but Waller hits an STO! Diamond Mine is furious as Waller goes up, but Strong SHOVES him down! Waller hits apron then the floor, and Strong goes out to fetch him. Strong puts Waller back in the ring, throws hands, CHOPS then more hands! Waller ends up in a corner, Strong CHOPS him again. Strong pie faces Waller but Waller throws body shots.

Waller endures, fights up, throws elbows to get free, but Strong knees low again. Strong suplexes high and hard then covers, TWO!
Diamond Mine coaches Strong up as he stays after Waller. Waller resists the crossface and crawls to the ropebreak! The ref counts, Strong lets off and he CHOPS Waller again. Strong puts Waller in a corner to CHOP again! Strong hoists Waller up top, climbs up to join him, but Waller fights back. The two brawl, Waller holds on and throws hands to knock Strong down! Waller adjusts and leaps, MISSILE DROPKICK! Both men are down and Diamond Mine is frustrated. Strong runs in but Waller CLOBBERS him! LEG LARIAT! BOOT! Waller runs in, blocks a clothesline to spin and DECK Strong! Waller aims from another corner and goes up the ropes… BALLER ELBOW! Cover, TWO!!
Waller is surprised but the CWC are fired up for him. Diamond Mine keeps coaching Strong as Waller fireman’s carries. Strong fights out then knees low, but Waller mule kicks and Eddy Gordo Kicks! Strong falls out of the ring, Waller runs and FLIES! Direct hit to the ramp! Waller puts Strong in fast, somersaults and STUNNERS! Cover, TWO!! Strong survives and no one can believe it! “That was three! That was three!” But Waller shrugs that off to aim from a corner, for the LEAP FROG, only for Strong to slip out and STRONG KNEE! Cover, Strong wins!
Winner: Roderick Strong, by pinfall (still NXT Cruiserweight Champion)
Waller showed he could throw down with one of the best, but Strong is one of the best! The Diamond Mine’s front man didn’t need to cheat this one, but will his luck start to run out soon enough?
Backstage interview with LA Knight.
The Million Dollar Megastar wants after Odyssey Jones after the verbal confrontation last week, but McKenzie asks if this is biting off more than Knight can chew. Oh, what? Is McKenzie president of the fan club or something? “Let me talk to ya. Do I look like a punk to ya? No, no I don’t.” Knight is the uncrowned champion of NXT, meaning he won’t let a newbie open his big fat head hole and spew nonsense about him. NO! So Jones has one week to learn a very hard lesson. Jones walks up and pats Knight on the shoulder. Jones may be new on campus but you’ve never ever seen anyone like him in the ring.
But then Andre Chase comes storming in calling BULLSH*T on Tian Sha! That smoke should’ve been a DQ! Knight takes that opening to throw hands on Jones and knock him down! Knight says he’s seen guys just like Jones before and this is how he’ll see him next week, YEAH! Knight is talking big but will he be eating those words when Jones #SoundsTheAlarm?
Dante Chen speaks.
He represents the spirit of Singapore and its people as he lives by the motto that lets him carve his own path: Passion, Precision, Perseverance. His journey has just begun, but where will we see it go?
Backstage interview with Trey Baxter & Cora Jade.
Trey lost to Dante Chen last week but what does Cora Jade have planned for her next match? Cora is very excited because at just 20 years old, she is the youngest superstar in NXT today. She is excited for her future, and is hoping to make NXT 2.0 into the #GenerationofJade. Trey is excited, too, but hopes she doesn’t do what he did. He’s still on that? Cora won’t do any of that. Aw, how sweet. The two head off, but will they both bring #AllHeart to their future?
NXT presents Lashing Out with Lash Legend.
Lash has her own studio as her audience cheers. She welcomes us to the premiere and wants to get straight to it. The WWE Draft starts this Friday, October 1st, are we all ready? Now, ya girl knows a little something about drafts cuz she got the rebound record in a single game with 27! That’s big! Very big! And that earned her a WNBA Draft spot! But did you see that Cora Jade and Trey Baxter are kissin’ in the locker room? Now Cora, if you wanna real man, get you one like Ikemen Jiro. Lash appreciates the #StyleStrong.
But the #LashOut of the week goes to Andre Chase. BOO~! That Peewee Herman wannabe has the audacity to go off on a student? Lash bets he wouldn’t do that to her, cuz she’d come and whoop that HELLO. Until next time, kisses and hearts!

Tony D’Angelo speaks.
“These old docks here represent the transfer of items. Me and my family have benefitted from some, uh, goods that may’ve fallen off these docks.” Cousin Richie’s got a place and has eyes like a hawk, watching for the wise guys. Take one or two off the top, that’s fine. Anything more than that, Tony gets a call and takes care of the situation. It’s a family tradition. That tradition will continue in NXT as D’Angelo finally arrives in the CWC!
NXT Women’s Championship: Raquel Gonzalez VS Franky Monet w/ The Franky Monet Brand!
Big Mami Cool is ready to main event and continue her dominance into the 2.0 era! But will Bougie Bad be bringing that belt over to their brand? Or will La Wera Loca get some sense slammed into her?

Raquel fights up and pries free to a waistlock and a SLAM! Raquel tells Franky who’s in charge but Franky just laughs it off. “What’s so funny?” Raquel throws a forearm, Franky SLAPS back! Fans fire up as Franky dodges to SLAP and CHOP and SLAP in the corner!
Franky whips Raquel, Raquel reverses and then scoops Franky for a FALL AWAY SLAM! Raquel goes to the corner but the Monet Brand bails Franky out. Raquel goes out and Robert has Jessi stay back as Raquel CLUBS Franky and puts her in the ring. Franky dodges one clothesline but not the BLINDSIDE! Scoop and SPINNING POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Raquel grows frustrated as Franky bails out. Franky slaps some sense into herself while Jessi and Robert coach her up. But Raquel goes out after them again and CLUBS Franky at the announce desk. Raquel brings Franky over to the steps but Franky THROWS her off them!
Jessi and Robert talk smack as Franky drags Raquel up. Franky RAMS Raquel into the apron, puts her in the ring then covers, TWO! Franky pie faces Raquel and talks trash before she drags Raquel up. Franky bumps Raquel off buckles, fans duel and Franky clotheslines Raquel down! Franky goes side to side to DOUBLE KNEE Raquel against ropes! Snap suplex and a cover, TWO! Franky grows frustrated and drags Raquel by the legs. Franky ties up the legs, CHOPS Raquel on the back then gets the arms. Franky has a modified Angelito Stretch to make it a STOMP! Franky grins as she stands over Raquel then covers, TWO!
Franky reels Raquel into body scissors and squeezes tight. Raquel throws elbows but Franky CLUBS her in the chest then STOMPS her on the back! Franky pushes Raquel around, almost toying with her, then KNEES her point blank! Then KNEES her in the back! Cover, ONE! Franky taunts Raquel in Spanish then pie faces her more. But Raquel blocks the kick and tells Franky she’s gonna kick her ass! Forearms flying, Franky dodges a boot but not those elbows! Raquel kicks hard and Franky falls into a corner! VADER SENTON! Cover, TWO!! Raquel grows frustrated but Franky looks dazed. Raquel gets Franky up, hooks her up, but the back gives up!
Franky grins as she throws Raquel down. DOUBLE STOMPS! Cover, TWO! Franky’s rage is back but she watches Raquel stir. Franky kicks her around, runs, but into a CHINGONA BOMB!!! Cover, Raquel wins!!
Winner: Raquel Gonzalez, by pinfall (still NXT Women’s Champion)
Ricky Desperado outlasted that shootout and checked off another name, just as she promised! But then Toxic Attraction makes their way back out? They didn’t win the tag titles but are they aiming for the top title already? Mandy smirks at Franky, then attacks from behind! Mandy, Gigi and Jacy stomp away on Franky, Jessi and Robert, before going after Raquel in the ring! Raquel just sighs and watches the three of them flank her. Gigi steps in but gets a BELT SHOT! Jacy and Mandy go after Raquel, she fights them off with heavy hands, throwing Jacy aside! Mandy CLUBS Raquel down, Jacy gets up and goes after Raquel again, and Gigi returns to CHOP BLOCK!
It’s a 3v1 mugging of the champ but she keeps throwing hands! There’s still life but Toxic Attraction stomp it out! Gigi and Jacy set Raquel up for a KNEE FROM A ROSE! The more of it, the danger it feels, yeah~! Will Mandy finally plant her flag in the women’s division? Or will Raquel come back stronger and run through all of them?
My Thoughts:
Well, well, well! NXT 2.0 can be on par with 1.0! However, and through no fault of Lash Legend, Lashing Out still feels very RawDown and in that it was very cheesy with the fake audience that agree with Lash on things. Though I will say, Lash (and Wade Barrett on commentary) is right on Trey Baxter x Cora Jade being thrown in our faces a little too much. I wonder if Trey and Cora competing with each other in “Who loses first/more?” and that strains the relationship. Also we didn’t get Trey being a superhero yet so hopefully they don’t abandon that just yet. Xyon VS Oney in a rematch from 205 Live is a bit weak but hey, Xyon is undefeated at 4-0 now.
B-Fab VS Lopez almost turning into an 8 Person Tornado was great, I wish they’d stuck with it more than just, “Use this to go to commercial.” B-Fab still needs a little polish for in-ring but she was right there with Lopez on a lot of this stuff, both have potential to become bigger names. Swerve talking about his North American Championship, I hope that means we’re getting Swerve VS Escobar very soon and we finally put some of this feud to bed. There was some great story blending with Tian Sha, Andre Chase, Odyssey Jones and LA Knight. Boa gets help from Mei Ying to beat Chase, though I’m surprised he needed it. Guess it’s more about Chase eating crow. Then good to see we are getting Jones VS Knight in a follow-up from last week, and I have a feeling Knight finds a way to win, YEAH.
I was surprised to see Gacy back, but I guess that’s them playing off the whole Cancel Culture thing, too. Vince still doesn’t know how to do social commentary but maybe he’ll start writing Gacy as more a Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde, nice and friendly on the mic but mean and nasty in the ring. I am very glad to see the comedy stylings of The Way are still just as good in the 2.0 era as they were before, I really cracked up with that last shot of Dexter. The Cruiserweight Championship was a very good match, especially for Waller, but I’m a little surprised he changed his hair. The bleach blond was a good look on him. Of course Strong won, so maybe Ikemen Jiro is next?
I continue to cringe at Tony D’Angelo promos being blatant Italian mafia parodies. And while I like that NXT is still keeping its tag division strong, I was getting weird flashbacks to the early 2000s, when RawDown had Cryme Tyme, The Mexicools and Lance Cade & Trevor Murdoch. But an 8 Man Tag of Faces VS Heels next week, that definitely leads to at least a Triple Threat Contenders match. Being MSK are Faces, I bet GYV gets one more shot while Briggs & Brooks can take on Hayes & Trick on the side. I feel like MSK wins out all the same, maybe GYV get called up to be the first NXT UK tag team to show up on RawDown.
Kyle going after Dunne & Holland before the match was a great move, and Kyle VS Holland was a really good match. I should’ve figured Von Wagner would help Kyle out against Dunne & Holland since WWE let Bobby Fish go. No more reDRagon but it seems WWE prefers making slapped together duos over pushing longstanding ones these days (New Day and Usos not withstanding). And we got great title matches from the women’s division tonight. Very surprised but in a good way that Shirai & Stark won. It is perhaps too soon for Toxic Attraction to have the tag titles but I honestly thought Shirai was going to be without a title so she can be called up.
Raquel VS Franky was also a very good match, but it makes a lot of sense for Raquel to retain. Toxic Attraction going after both of them was a nice surprise, too. Perhaps WWE is learning one thing from AEW in that they are overlapping stories and feuds. Mandy was being passive aggressive to Franky when she first showed up, so maybe the Monet Brand adds a new female so that they can have trios matches against Toxic Attraction. Actually, I’m now fully expecting Raquel works with Franky and Jessi against Toxic Attraction just once, and it all allows Mandy and her team to get a win. I don’t see Mandy being the one to dethrone Raquel but she can have one hell of a match to reestablish her star power.
My Score: 8.9/10

Hirooki Goto & Yoshi-Hashi may have failed to take the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships, and the big man from Kazakhstan may have failed to take the NEVER Openweight Championship, they still stand together as trios champions. But will these titles still belong to Bishamon & BARS? Or will Ospreay lead the Dominator & Mauler to victory for the United Empire?
IWGP Heavyweight Championship: Callum Newman VS Shingo Takagi!
From youngest man to win the New Japan Cup to youngest man to win this title, The Prince has proven himself as a powerful wrestler. But to prove himself as truly worthy of this title, he must make it through his first defense. A former heavyweight champion in his own right, will the Rampaging Dragon soon stand atop the mountain? Or will he suffer the Prince’s Curse?

Roman Reigns arrives backstage.
And Adam Pearce catches him right as he exits the car. The Raw General Manager knows Roman is heated from last week but they need to discuss things first. Roman says first off, no, he wants to know where Jacob Fatu is at. And second, don’t you hear the fans already cheering for him? Hit his music! Pearce tries to calm Roman down but has to shout at him first. Jacob Fatu is not here… yet. But Seth Rollins is! Architect and Tribal Chief stare down, and Rollins says Roman is in his way. Roman steps aside, and Rollins’ song hits first! The fans in Omaha, Nebraska sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” as Rollins heads to the ring.

Judgment Day is in the clubhouse.
Liv Morgan says that Stephanie Vaquer is injured, no worrying about her anymore. But now to talk about the not so good news. Like what the hell was Finn doing in here last week?! Roxie doesn’t know, he must be delusional. Liv says she’s not worried about Finn, JD McDonagh finishes this tonight. Liv is worried about Roxie. Why did Finn think it was okay to talk to Roxie? Why didn’t Roxie tell them about it? Why did Liv have to watch it through Netflix to learn about what’s going on? Roxie says she didn’t mention it because she made it clear to Finn. She told him to get out and never come back. But Liv’s right, Roxie should’ve said something.
But don’t worry! Roxie’s loyal to Judgment Day, they know that. Yes, Liv is glad to hear that, because she believes in Roxie. Roxie & Raquel are going to be the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, they just can’t let anything get between the family. Promise Liv that you won’t keep secrets, Roxie. Roxie promises. Promises what…? That she will never keep any secrets from Judgment Day. Good. So they ready? Liv, Dom & JD head out, and Raquel pats Roxie on the head. But will things be (not) fine for Judgment Day?
Finn Balor VS JD McDonagh w/ Dominik Mysterio!
Raw returns as The Irish Ace makes his entrance, Dirty Dom by his side. The bell rings, the two tie up, and JD wrenches to wristlock. JD YANKS the arm, but the fans taunt him as “BOBBLEHEAD! BOBBLEHEAD!” Finn rolls, wrenches, but JD wrangles Finn back down. JD puts on the pressure but Finn kips up to wrench, slip through, and headlock. JD powers up but can’t power out as Finn holds on tight! JD endures, rolls to a cover, ONE! JD headscissors, Finn kips free, and Finn arm-drags! Finn grinds JD with the armlock, but JD fights up. JD rolls, powers Finn to ropes, but the ref counts.
JD backs off slowly, but Dom trips Finn up! The fans boo Dom but then JD RAMS Finn! Dom flexes and soaks up the heat while JD RAMS Finn more. JD lets off so he can soak up heat, then he stalks Finn to another corner. JD CHOPS, then he whips corner to corner. Finn goes up and over to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP! Finn warns Dom, but JD turns things around. Finn dodges JD to CHOP him back! Cover, TWO! Finn drags JD up, brings him around, and gives some Latino Heat! JD wrenches free but Finn ducks JD’s lariat to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Cover, TWO! Finn keeps his eyes on Dom, then goes back to JD.
JD drop toeholds Finn, then runs to drop the leg, brother! Cover, TWO! Finn goes to ropes but JD KICKS his leg! JD KICKS the leg again, then puts the leg on ropes. JD drops a KNEE on the knee! Finn writhes, the fans boo, but Dom applauds as JD YANKS the bad leg. GROUND DRAGON SCREW! JD then drops an ELBOW on the leg, then clamps on a toehold. Finn endures, kicks JD in the back, and the fans rally as both men stand. JD storms up on Finn, whips, but Finn reverses. JD sunset flips, Finn rolls through and basement DROPKICKS! JD goes to ropes, Finn LARIATS him up and out! The fans fire up as Finn builds speed, but Dom trips him up again!
The fans boo as Finn shouts at Dom, but JD CLOBBERS Finn! Finn tumbles out of the ring, but here comes Roxie! The fans boo Judgment Day as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Finn fights up in the headlock. Finn fires body shots, and now the rest of Judgment Day hurries out here. JD CLUBS Finn, whips him, but Finn goes up and- NO, JD catches Finn on the over, but Finn holds onto the ropes! JD pries Finn free, but Finn slips down to dragon sleeper! EYE OF THE HURRICANE! The fans cheer Finn on, but he’s all alone ringside now that it is 5v1! JD and Finn rise up, but Finn ROCKS JD! And ROCKS him again! And again, and again! Finn whips and BACKDROPS JD! JD flounders, Finn trips him to DOUBLE STOMP! The fans cheer Finn as he flexes!
Finn drags JD up, whips him to ropes, but JD reverses. Finn comes back to SLINGBLADE! The fans cheer as Finn aims from a corner. But Dom gets on the apron! Finn DECKS Dom, JD rolls Finn, TWO! JD swings, Finn dodges and CHOPS! Finn runs, but into the SPANISH FLY! Cover, TWO!! Finn survives but just barely! Finn goes to the apron while the fans rally harder and harder. JD storms over, but Finn RAMS into him! Then GAMANGIRIS! Finn goes up, up, but Raquel distracts the ref! Dom shakes the ropes, and Finn falls! The ref realizes something is wrong, so she EJECTS Dom! The fans cheer as things are a bit more even now.
Liv & Dom are upset but JD still drags Finn to a drop zone. JD goes up, up, and MOONSAULTS, but onto knees! Cover, TWO! Finn hurries to SLINGBLADE JD again! The fans rally for Finn while the ladies of Judgment Day coach JD. Liv gets on the apron, but the ref tells her to back off. Liv sneaks something to Roxie! The bell hammer!? Finn SHOTGUNS JD! Roxie has the bell hammer to CRACK Finn!! The fans boo but JD HEADBUTTS Finn! JD falls on the cover, JD wins!
Winner: JD McDonagh, by pinfall
Roxie proves her loyalties by doing Liv’s dirty work, and JD finally gets a win over his old mentor. Is there no hope for Finn against this many enemies?
Backstage interview with Seth Rollins.
Jackie Redmond apologizes to The Architect for bothering him, as he is clearly in pain after that vicious assault from Bron Breakker. But what does this mean for Backlash. Will Rollins be okay? Rollins says Backlash is in five days, he’ll be fine. Rollins told “the kid” last week, that if you take your shot, you better be able to finish the job. Rollins ain’t dead yet. Rollins storms off, will he be able to game plan a way to get around Bron’s speed, strength, and ruthless aggression?
The Vision regroups backstage.
Bron Breakker says he couldn’t let Rollins go to the ring and get on the mic to bore us all to death. He can’t stand listening to that guy! He’s like a duck! “Quack, quack! I’m the best wrestler in the world! Quack!” Austin Theory joins in, “Lemme sing my song! Quack quack!” Paul Heyman walks in and says, “Is Seth Rollins still breathing?” Bron says yes, he is. Logan Paul says one guy who won’t be is Joe Hendry! Logan’s gonna beat him to a pulp! Logan swears to God, let him get his hands on Hendry and he’ll hospitalize him permanently! PLEASE! Heyman says that’s why tonight, Logan is not fighting Joe Hendry. W-What?!
Heyman says Bron almost got suspended again, Brock Lesnar retired on us, and if Logan were to get his hands on Hendry, he’ll be put in jail for what he does to him! That’s why tonight, it is Joe Hendry VS Austin Theory. Theory says it’s alright, Maverick. If Logan wants Hendry smacked around, Theory will smack him around. If Logan wants Hendry hurt, Theory will hurt him. He’ll put the Pressure on Hendry, and Logan can just watch. Bron says relax, you’re THE Logan Paul. Vision will get ’em all, one by one. They fist bump on that, but will The Vision all be turned into believers soon enough?
PENTA & Je’Von Evans VS Rusev & Ethan Page!
After the multiple blindsides the past few weeks, he WWE Intercontinental Champion and the Young OG team up against some common enemies in The Bulgarian Lion and All Ego! But will the power of #CeroMiedo see them through? Or will Rusev CRUSH while Ethan steals everyone’s smile?
Raw returns as Rusev makes his entrance, followed by Ethan’s. The teams sort out and Evans starts against Rusev. They circle while the fans rally, and Rusev picks Evans up! Rusev RAMS Evans into the corner, RAMS him again and again, but stops as the ref counts 4. Rusev snarls, ROCKS Evans, then CLUBS him on the back. Evans flounders but Rusev stands him up. Rusev whips, Evans stops himself and BOOST back! Evans ROCKS Rusev with haymaker after haymaker! Evans runs, but Rusev ELBOWS him down! The fans boo but Rusev stalks Evans to a corner.

The fans boo more as Ethan and Rusev mug Evans. Ethan says see, they’re a team! Ethan drags Evans up but Evans CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” but Ethan takes a swing.

Evans runs, but Ethan BOOTS him first! Ethan whips, but Evans rebounds, RED DOT GAMANGIRI! Hot tag to Penta, springboard TORNADO DDT! Cover, but Rusev breaks it! Evans goes after Rusev but Rusev shoves him away. Evans DUMPS Rusev out, then DIVES! Another hit on Rusev, and now he’s on the desk! The fans are thunderous as they see that look in Evans’ eyes! Evans hurries to the corner and climbs up top!
The fans are going nuts already, but Etan SHOVES Evans down! Penta SUPERKICKS Ethan! Penta then slingshots to- NO, Ethan dodges and SWEEPS the leg! Penta is down but the ref won’t let Ethan go after him. Rusev handles that with an URENAGE on the desk! Rusev feeds Penta to Ethan, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, ETHAN & RUSEV WIN!
Winners: Rusev & Ethan Page, by pinfall
Both Bulgarian Brute and All Ego have sinister grins on their face, and they celebrate their victory! Not too buddy-buddy, of course. But will these two both have their shot at Penta’s Intercontinental Championship?
Adam Pearce is in the ring.
“When I was a coach in NXT, my favorite, my absolute favorite days, was when a surefire, can’t-miss, blue chip future superstar saw their dreams come true when they got the opportunity to sign one of these to join Raw or SmackDown. Guys, today is one of those days. Let’s take a look.” The fans cheer as we get a highlight reel of the former NXT Women’s North American & WWE Speed Women’s Champion, and Pearce asks we all welcome the newest Raw superstar, Sol Ruca! Sol makes her entrance with a new song, and high-fives fans as she heads down the ramp. Sol joins Pearce in the ring, grabs herself a mic, and Pearce congratulates her.
The fans cheer and Sol smiles as she takes the contract. “Damn. It is going to feel so damn good when I sign this and officially be a part of Monday Night Raw.” But wait, Becky Lynch is interrupting! Pearce is upset as the WWE Women’s Intercontinental Champion storms her way to the ring. Becky grabs herself a mic to tell Petty Pearce that she’s been looking for him all day! She was told that THIS would be her time for her Celebration of Greatness! Who told her that?! Doesn’t matter, she knows they were a very credible, reliable source. But point is, after her monumental WrestleMania moment, Pearce came out and illegally sanctioned a match with “Iyo Jennetty.”
Which explicitly went against the parameters of her open challenge! But even with that meddling, Becky won! Uncontroversial because she’s the greatest female wrestler of all time, and it’s not just her saying it, other people say it. Sports Illustrated says it, Bleacher Report says it! Sol asks Becky, “Are you done?!” Becky says no, actually, and she’s also a New York Times best seller. Sol says not everything is about Becky. Becky says okay, okay, Sol is very new here, but the sooner she learns this the better. Everything is about her! Well, not this. Everyone knows who Becky is, we know what Becky’s done and accomplished.
But the thing is, Sol didn’t expect to find out that upon meeting Becky, Becky is exactly what everyone says she is. W-Which is? The Man? The history maker? The ground breaker? No. They say Becky is a rude, big-headed B*TCH! And it’s not just Sol saying it, it’s New York Times, Sports Illustrated- Becky says Pearce may be terrible at her job, but is he really letting Sol talk to her like this?! Becky asks if the fans are letting Sol talk to her like this. “YES!” Becky is flabbergasted but the fans cheer Sol on. Becky ask who even is this, and Sol finishes singing her contract. This is Sol Ruca, and if you ever interrupt her again, not only will Sol kick your ass, but she’ll snatch your soul.
Becky takes a swing, Sol dodges, so the punch hits PEARCE! Oops! Becky apologizes but Pearce is furious! Sol smiles as Becky panics, and then she runs up to use the corner! SOUL SNATCHER! The Man is down! Is Sol about to turn the tides and wash away Becky’s big time ego?
The Usos are backstage.
Jackie Redmond catches them as they head for Roman Reigns’ room, and asks them how they’re feeling ahead of the contract signing. Jimmy says it is a big night! Contract signing night between OTC and Samoan Werewolf, and they wouldn’t miss this for nothing. Now, they got a lot of love for Jacob, but Jacob needs to understand how OTC does business, especially when there’s championship gold on the line. Ya feel ’em? Jackie understands, but aren’t they conflicted considering their relationship with both? Jey says nah, Jackie, this right here is family bidness, plain and simple. OTC knows how to handle himself. The Usos are just in case something pops off.
But Jacob, The Usos already told you, Uce! You swimming in deep water now. You bit off more than you can chew. You’re swinging for the fences, though! But they respect that, aight? But Jey is telling you, The Bloodline has been drawn! And at Backlash, you gonna find out who you messing with, Jacob. Good luck, lil’ cousin. YEET. The Usos then step inside Roman’s room. What will the OG Bloodline discuss in regards to this very same family business?
Austin Theory w/ The Vision VS Joe Hendry!
The Vision were a bit… triggered, perhaps, by what The Prestigious Joe Hendry joked about during his concert. But will Hendry feel the Pressure here tonight? Or will Omaha be full of believers after tonight?
Raw returns as Hendry continues his concert where it left off! “He’s one amazing athlete, but he’s a piece of trash! He can shove his trading cards directly up his.. Paul! Paul! Can we fire Logan Paul? Everyone! Paul! Paul! Can we fire Logan Paul?” Logan storms out and shouts that he thought he made it clear that Hendry cannot fire Logan Paul! He is UN-FIREABLE! TKO cannot fire Logan, that’s bad business! Logan IS business! Logan is the heart and soul of the WWE! Hendry says he knows Logan is upset, and he’s glad to see Logan, because this part of the song is the apology. It goes like this: “Paul, Paul, can we fire Logan Paul?”
Logan swears to kill Hendry, but Theory runs up! The bell rings, Hendry fires hands, then LAIRATS Theory up and out of the ring! The fans cheer, Logan tells Theory to handle this! Theory and Logan reset, circle, but the Logan shouts at Hendry. That distraction lets Theory CLOBBER Hendry from behind! The fans boo but Theory CLUBS away on Hendry. Theory then clamps onto Hendry to throw hands right into the side of his head! The fans boo more but Theory CLOBBERS Hendry again! Theory & Logan soak up the heat, then Theory slaps Hendry around. Theory scoops to hit a BACKBREAKER! Theory and Logan fire each other up, but the ref has Logan back off.
Theory stands Hendry up, but Hendry UPPERCUTS and CHOPS and repeat! Hendry whips corner to corner, Theory reverses hard, and Hendry falls to the mat. Theory rains down fists, talks trash, but the fans chant, “Logan Sucks! Logan Sucks!” Logan shouts back that he does not, and Theory goes back to Hendry. Theory drags Hendry up, talks trash, and snap suplexes! “Who sucks now?!” The Vision soaks up more heat, then Theory drags Hendry up. Theory talks more trash, but Hendry suplexes Theory now! The fans cheer while Logan is already upset again. Hendry rises, the fans rally behind him, and Hendry fires haymakers!
Hendry whips Theory to ropes to then LARIAT! Theory flounders from taking the “Commonwealth Clothesline,” and Hendry runs to LARIAT in the corner! Hendry keeps moving, but Theory blows past! Only for Hendry to catch him! FALL AWAY SLAM! And then a kip up, for the… TURN! The fans cheer, but LOGAN ATTACKS!
Winner: Joe Hendry, by disqualification
The fans boo but Logan HAMMERS away on Hendry! Logan hands Hendry the win but he snarls as he tells Hendry, “Nobody can fire me!” Hendry fires off fists! Theory goes after Hendry, the fans boo as The Vision mugs Hendry! They stomp and punch away, but here come the Street Profits! Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins again take the fight to The Vision! SUPERKICK for Logan! Then Ford spins Theory around to ENZIGIRI! Dawkins takes Theory for THE SILENCER! The fans pump it up for The Profits, and Dawkins Electric Chair Lifts Theory! Ford climbs up, but BRON runs in! Bron THROWS Ford out of the ring! Then Bron CLOBBERS Dawkins!
The fans bark as Bron then GERMAN SUPLEXES Dawkins! The Unpredictable Badass turns the tides, but SETH ROLLINS trips him up! The fans cheer as Rollins gets revenge with furious fists! Rollins THROWS Bron into steel steps! Rollins stomps away, then they brawl in the ring! Rollins rains down fists while the fans cheer! Rollins BLASTS Logan & Theory off the apron, then LARIATS Bron down! Omaha is erupting as Rollins is shaking the ropes! Rollins aims, but hold on! Ford FLIES out to take out Logan & Theory! But Bron SPEARS Rollins in the distraction! Bron snarls as he tells Rollins he was that close.
Bron leaves Rollins down again, but he’s still roughed up himself. Will either man survive the Backlash?
Backstage interview with Judgment Day.
Jackie is now with Liv, Dom, JD, Raquel & Roxie, and brings up them sending a message to Finn. But what is the focus moving forward? Liv says yeah, you saw what they did to Finn tonight, and to Vaquer last week. The focus is getting all the gold and crushing anyone who gets in their way. And this season is all about Raquel & Roxie! Tell her, sister! Raquel warns Brie Bella & Paige that their nostalgia tour was cute for a night, but it’s time to get serious. She wants them both to come to their show, because- Bayley & Lyra Valkyria step in, and The Role Model says, “Well, well, well. Wouldya look at here? Can anyone in the Judgment Day get anything done on their own?”
Bayley has known them all for so long and she is just finally getting it. Lyra says they weren’t gonna forget what happened to them last week, either. If they’re such a big happy family, then they won’t be afraid to take them on. Liv mocks them and says families help each other win. Try it sometime, losers. Bye~! Bye~! Judgment Day leaves, but will #BayLyra humble them soon enough? And what of Brie & Paige answering the challenge to show up on “Judgment Day’s show?”
The Ruler’s Open Challenge: Oba Femi VS ???
With champions either too busy, too lazy, or perhaps too afraid to accept a challenge, The Ruler is making HIMSELF into the challenge! Who will answer the call, and who will be thrown from the mountaintop in Omaha?
Oba has the mic to say,” The time has come. The Oba Femi Open Challenge will now begin.” And it’s AKIRA TOZAWA that answers the call! He is accompanied by Maxxine Dupri & Otis, but can The Stamina Monster even survive?
The bell rings and Tozawa steps up to be face to… chest with Oba… Tozawa gest scared, but Otis says that’s okay, HE will step up. Even Oba likes the look of this! The bell rings, and the two tie up. They’re in a deadlock, but Oba SHOVES Otis! That alone is impressive, but Otis comes back to RAM Oba! Oba stays put and the fans continue to cheer. Oba and Otis are forehead to forehead, then Oba RAMS Otis! Otis doesn’t budge and the fans cheer! They start shoving, then Otis rips his shirt away! Oba RAMS Oba, Oba RAMS Otis, but Otis dodges! Only for Oba to UPPERCUT Otis down! Oba then hauls Otis up, for a SUPER SHOTPUT!
The fans are thunderous as Oba is fired up, and he watches Otis slowly get up. Even Oba is wondering if this is possible, but he kicks Otis first. Oba nods and says he knows how to get this done. Oba hoists Otis up the corner, then gets under Otis, for a SUPER SIZED FALL FROM GRACE!! Cover, Oba wins!
Winner: Oba Femi, by pinfall
The first challenge was already a big challenge, but Oba was still up to the challenge! And after seeing that, will anyone even want to step up next week?
Refs check on Rollins backstage.
Rollins insists that despite how he looks, he is fine. Just leave him alone. Rollins sees Hendry & The Profits, and he “thanks” Montez Ford for setting him up for that second spear. Ford says thanks to Rollins’ past antics, nobody, and Ford means NOBODY, trusts Rollins! Oh, wow, nobody? Ford doesn’t trust him, Dawkins doesn’t trust him, Rollins doesn’t even know Hendry but Hendry probably doesn’t trust him. Guess what? Rollins doesn’t even trust himself! But who cares!? They’re in the same fight! They’re all after The Vision, so those fights are gonna come together! But here’s the deal: They stay out of Rollins’ way, he’ll stay out of theirs. Got it?
Rollins storms off, but does he have it all backwards? Shouldn’t they all work together if they want to tear The Vision down?
Adam Pearce mediates a meeting between Iyo Sky and Asuka.
The Raw General Manager knows these two are set to face off at Backlash, so the floor is theirs. Iyo starts by telling “Asuka-san, I have avoided this fight for years. You know this. You are exactly what you say you are: my senpai; my mentor; I looked up to you. I loved you. And despite everything you have done to me, I still have the utmost respect for you. I never wanted to have this fight, and I never wanted it to come to this. But… You have changed.” Asuka says nothing has changed, but Iyo says yes, she has! The Asuka that Iyo looked up to is no longer here! Now, Iyo has no choice but to fight Asuka.
Asuka says Iyo continues her disrespect, so the Iyo that Asuka taught is no longer here, either! This person sitting here, who are you? “I don’t know anyone this disrespectful. Who are you?” Asuka says this is her biggest disappointment! Do you not get how she feels?! Asuka is done with Iyo. At Backlash, Asuka cuts Iyo out of her life for good. Iyo says fine, she understands. Because she IS ready for Asuka! Asuka rolls her eyes, then leans in close, to MIST IYO RIGHT IN THE FACE!! Pearce is furious, has Asuka get out of here, and shouts for a doctor! The Empress of Tomorrow shows no remorse, but will The Genius show no mercy at Backlash?
Backstage interview with El Grande Americano Original and…?
Jackie is with Chad G- er, uh, the Original EGA and The Creed Brothers, who are now “Los Americanos Hermanos,” The American Brothers… After that surprise attack on the other El Grande Americano at AAA during the Mask VS Mask contract signing, how are they feeling going into this trios match? Well, thankfully, the No Physicality Agreement was for Mexico. That means here in Middle America, all bets are off! Now, the boys saw how they great EGA Original in AAA, it’s ridiculous! So they decided to do the honorable thing and help him out. They take inspiration from a close personal friend of his, Chad Gable, still sidelined with injury.
But on May 30th, we find out once and for all that there is only ONE El Grande Americano, and you’re lookin’ at him! The ORIGINAL El Grande Americano! AH GRACIAS~! Los Americanos Original heads to the ring, but will this be an American made victory? Or will the real Americanos please stand up?
Six Man Tag: Los Americanos VS Los Americanos Original!
Raw returns as the other Los Americanos make their entrance. The trios sort out, but then El Grande Dos throws his cape at Original! The brawl is on and the fans fire up! The fists fly, but “Julio” DUMPS Rayo out, then “Bruto” ROCKS Bravo! The brothers THROW Bravo out before Original LARIATS Americano Dos out! The fans cheer, “AH GRACIAS~!” Bravo rushes in, Bruto FLAPJACKS him, and now the match is on! Bruto copies Bravo’s dance, then UPPERCUTS! Tag to Julio, they double whip to DOUBLE BACKDROP! Julio struts but Rayo tags in. Rayo ROCKS and KICKS Julio, then CHOPS! Rayo runs, but into an OVERHEAD BELLY2BELL!
Julio kips up while Rayo hobbles. Julio reels Rayo in for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Tag to Bruto, then tag to Original. Julio ELBOWS Rayo in the corner, Bruto BACK BODY BLOCKS, then feed to Original’s HIP TOSS! The fans cheer and Original covers, TWO! Original drags Rayo up, wrenches, wristlocks, but Rayo breaks free to SMACK him! Tag to El Grande Dos! The Grandes tie up, go around, and Original arm-drags! They fight back up, Dos wrenches but Original rolls to SLAP back! Original headlocks but Rayo tags in as Dos powers up and out. They then trip Original out, bring him to the outside, and Grande Dos WRECKS Original with a dropkick!
The fans are torn as Los Americanos stand tall, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again as Rayo BOOTS Bruto off the corner! Rayo then clamps onto Julio with a SLEEPER! The fans rally as Julio endures, reaches out, but drops to his knees. Julio powers up again to BACKPACK SENTON! The fans rally while both men are down, hot tags to the Grandes! Original THROWS Dos, then rains down fists! Dos gets free, Bravo goes up and leaps in! Original catches him for an EXPLODER! Original fires hands, then clinches to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! ROLLING LIGER KICK on Rayo! Then Original ducks the discus to ANGLE SLAM! The fans fire up with Original and he waistlocks, but Bravo tags in!
Bravo y Rayo save their Americano from Chaos Theory, only for Original to waistlock Bravo! Bravo grabs Rayo in a panic, DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up for Original Grande, and he goes out to CANNONBALL! He CLOBBERS Rayo, goes up a corner, but Dos distracts the ref! That lets Rayo SHOVE Original off the corner! But Julio springs right up! SUPER DUPER PLEX! Bruto is up to MOONSAULT! But Dos CLOBBERS Bruto with the headbutt! GAMANGIRI for Julio! But then both Grandes run up, DOUBLE HEADBUTTS! Bravo is up top, DIVING BODY PRESS! Cover, TWO! Bravo is furious but the fans rally up, “This is Awesome!”
Rayo aims at Bruto, runs up, and SUPERKICKS from the apron! Then he SEATED SENTONS! But Julio gets Bravo up, APRON BOMB! Grande Dos PENALTY KICKS Julio! But Original has Bravo, RAMS him into Dos, then hits CHAOS THEORY! The fans cheer as Original goes up top, but Grande Dos grabs him! But the brothers RAM him into the barriers! Original DIVING HEADBUTT! Cover, Los Americanos Original win!
Winners: Los Americanos Original, by pinfall
AH GRACIAS~! But will this momentum carry El Grande Americano Original through that Mask VS Mask match at the end of May?
Roman Reigns heads to the ring!
Now that there is no one to stand in his way, The OTC, the WWE World Heavyweight Champion, walks out on stage and raises his finger to the sky. The pyro goes off, and it is time for the title fight contract signing. But will things stay civil in this family civil war? We’ll find out, after the break.
Raw returns as Roman gets his second round of pyro, then joins Pearce in the ring. Roman makes sure to sit at the head of the table, then Pearce introduces the challenger, Jacob Fatu! The fans cheer the Samoan Werewolf as he makes his entrance. Pearce says we all know how this works: two signatures on the contract makes this match official. The fans sing for “Roman, Roman Reigns~!” while he stares down with Jacob. Roman picks up his mic first to say, “Nah, Pearce, you know how this works. Omaha, Nebraska…! ACKNOWLEDGE ME.” The fans cheer and chant “O T C! O T C!” Roman asks if Jacob hears all that.
Roman says that’s not just love, but the sound of respect! The fans cheer that, and Roman says you don’t think he knows where Jacob comes from? That he wasn’t watching from afar? That respect wasn’t earned just from hanging out. Jacob was grinding for 12 years, but Roman was here for OVER 12 years! The fans cheer again, and Roman tells Jacob that Roman was the one in this company, his foot holding the door open for Solo Sikoa. Solo brought Fatu in? Well guess what? Roman brought Solo in. Therefore, Roman brought Fatu in. And Roman will be damned if there is not respect to be had in this business for him!
The fans again cheer for “O T C! O T C!” and Roman says this is about respect. There has to be a code, there has to be an honor system. They can’t just run roughshod around here, bogarding everything for the family. No, there has to be a system of conduct that they can hang their hats on, understand? The Tongan Death Grip… Jacob disrespects Roman with something that he saves for desperate measures. Where does Jacob think they are? In some bar at 3AM, surrounded 8v1? THAT is when you bust out the Tongan Death Grip, THAT is when you snatch someone’s throat! You don’t do that to family! You don’t do that to your own. You don’t do that to your Tribal Chief!
The fans cheer again, but Fatu says, “Hold on, what?! Tribal Chief? Hey. That’s where you got it all wrong, you don’t understand. Yes, I am desperate. Yes, it feels like it’s just me against the world. Yes, my back is against the wall. So I have no other choice but to take you out, take this title, and everything that comes with it!” The fans are torn on that, but Fatu says to keep it 100, then he’ll put a choke hold on this game, and he’ll squeeze out every dollar and cent, just the way this company been doing their family for decades! So when Fatu’s talking all gas, no brakes with it, that doesn’t mean slowing down, it means moving forward and never going back to where he came from.
So yes, Roman, Fatu is desperate. Desperate enough to do anything for his household, even if he gotta run through his own blood! Roman says this is what he’s talking about! Fatu’s household?! Let’s get this out the way. Roman signs his part, the fans cheer, and then Roman pushes the contract to Fatu. Fatu is talking about his household, but Roman says he’s been up here over a decade for MULTIPLE households! Fatu is worried about seven kids, but Roman’s worried about 170 kids! Fatu is worried about higher education, but Roman is worried about generation after generation! Because Roman is the one that can do that! Proof of concept! The respect! WWE does business with HIM!
Roman already told everyone a long time ago, this is ALL HIS! This is HIS ring! And yes, in their family, they’re equals, of the same blood. But in this ring, Jacob, you’re beneath him! JACOB SNATCHES ROMAN! Roman CLAWS Fatu’s face, THROWS him into buckles, then THROWS an armchair at him! The fans fire up but Pearce wants Roman to calm down. Roman grabs the belt, but Fatu GRABS ROMAN’S THROAT! Roman HAMMERS Fatu down, climbs up in the corner, and rains down more fists! The fans count along, Roman goes all the way to TEN! But the TONGAN DEATH GRIP still finds him!!
Roman hurries to get loose, SUPERMAN- DEATH GRIP!! DEATH GRIP!! Pearce hurries in there, Roman grabs at Pearce out of desperation, but Fatu drags him around, CHOKE SLAM on the table!! The table didn’t break, but Roman is still down and out. Fatu signs his part, and he says they gonna do this! It is official, and as it looks, Fatu has the advantage! Will nothing stop the Samoan Werewolf from sinking his teeth deep into Roman? Or can Roman find a way to survive?
