Toxic Attraction is here!
Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne stroll out on stage, then head to the ring. They get mics and Gigi starts by saying, “Last week, Toxic Attraction came out here with one purpose: to put an end to the NXT Women’s Champion, Raquel Gonzalez. But Io Shirai and Zoey Stark wanted to come out here and play hero and ruin all our fun. So we left this ring feeling very unsatisfied.” Jacy tells Shirai & Stark that while they want to lead by example and play by all the rules, Torix Attraction couldn’t care less. “We do what we want, when we want. And what we want are the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships.” Shirai & Stark, your days are numbered, and time is up at Halloween Havoc.
Mandy says Gigi & Jacy won’t be the only successful ones at Halloween Havoc. Because Mandy is challenging Raquel for THE NXT Women’s Championship! “Raquel, you got lucky last week. And your luck is coming to an end.” At Halloween Havoc, Toxic Attraction will make history, mark her words. They will all be wearing gold around their pretty little waists. “Oh and one more thing. Brown, blue, black, green, yellow, purple, it don’t matter what hair color I have. I’m still the baddest bitch in the game.” But will their words fall flat when the champions get in the ring with them?
Someone picks up a shovel.
They menacingly walk through the woods with it. “I will bury the past so I can start again.” Halloween Havoc, something wicked this way comes.
Xyon Quinn VS Malik Blade!
The fighter and a gentleman didn’t really wait for the ladies to leave, but they don’t seem to mind. Will Quinn continue to win and make a strong impression on the entire NXT roster with his growing undefeated streak?

That’s Xyon: 4, everyone else: zero! Will this streak continue until Xyon has gold around his own waist?
Backstage interview with Tommaso Ciampa.
Ciampa now only has a 1v1 with Bron Breakker, what are his thoughts? Well he isn’t sure what to make of what happened with Gacy and Harland, but it doesn’t matter. In two weeks, he is dialed in. And what better for his Halloween Havoc debut than defend HIS NXT Championship? This is a big fight, but here come Grizzled Young Veterans. Zack Gibson says mocks the 900 days of “scratching and clawing” to finally get back the title. Honestly, from the bottom of their hearts, they can’t wait to see him lose it to a rookie. Ciampa says from the bottom of his heart- Breakker says the rookie can go right no! Lace ’em up!
Gibson says that is NOT how you talk to veterans. They’re not dressed for a fight, so they’ll leave them to it for now. GYV leaves, Breakker says he’s got Ciampa’s back from now until Halloween Havoc, because Breakker wants to beat Ciampa at his best. Ciampa scowls, will he change Breakker’s choice of words rather forcefully?
Backstage interview with Isaiah “Swerve” Scott.
Ashante is still MIA, and we all saw Legado snatch up Dolla and B-Fab. Swerve wants McKenzie to stop there, he was there. His crew will be alright, they’re soldiers. What they’d want him to do is focus on the mission at hand, and that is Escobar. Speaking of, Escobar’s really trying to bring out the evil spirits. Well guess what? IT WORKED. Escobar doesn’t want to handle Swerve 1v1. Out of every member Hit Row, they left the wrong one standing. Swerve vows to keep this title with him on SmackDown and there ain’t a damn thing Escobar can do to stop him. Will that still be true after Swerve faces a fully intact Legado del Fantasma?
Ivy Nile w/ Diamond Mine VS Valentina Feroz!
The in-ring debut of this young titan has finally arrived! Will she prove to be more ferocious than the Brazilian bird of prey?
NXT returns and Feroz is in the ring. The bell rings, she and Nile circle and Feroz pushes the aggression. Nile shoots in and gets the waistlock, but Feroz switches. Nile switches, Feroz, switches, repeat until Feroz goes for a leg. Nile pries free to waistlock and roll Feroz way. The two reset, Feroz throws Nile down with a judo throw, then shotgun dropkicks! Feroz runs but leaps into Nile’s arms! Nile shifts and pops Feroz up for a stalling suplex! And she kips up, too! Fans fire up seeing agility on top of strength as Nile gets Feroz up and whips her hard into a corner. Nile storms over, drags Feroz by her legs and drops her. Nile then puts Feroz on the bottom buckle to stand on her back!
The ref counts, Nile lets off at 4, then she drags Feroz to center. Feroz kicks with her free leg, gets up and throws body shots, but Nile knees low. Nile scoops and SLAMS Feroz down, then paces around menacingly. Nile gets a leg, rolls through to a fireman’s carry, but Feroz fights it! Feroz tries to get away but Nile just gets her for a torture rack! Nile smirks as she squats and bends Feroz! Diamond Mine loves it as Nile brings her hands together to bend Feroz more! Feroz endures, but she TAPS! Nile wins!
Winner: Ivy Nile, by submission
The titan quite literally crushed it in her debut! Will she only get stronger as she breaks into the NXT Women’s Division?
Bivens gets a mic to say, “My, my, my! That was a message to every single woman here in NXT! And Kushida figured this out a few weeks ago. The pitbull has been unleashed! Ivy Nile has arrived and she didn’t come to play. And you know who else didn’t come to play? The Creed Brothers! Day in and day out, they are in this building, putting in work. And they have proved they are the most dominant tag team in NXT today. And speaking of dominance, allow me to introduce you to YOUR NXT Cruiserweight Champion, Roderiiiiiiick~ STROOONG!” Strong gets the mic to say- Well, he doesn’t get to say much as IKEMEN JIRO makes an entrance!
The Handsome One shows off his #StyleStrong, and he shows that he wants that belt! Diamond Mine backs off and Julius Creed wants to know if this guy is for real. In the Diamond Mine, everything is earned. You ain’t gotta get ready if you stay ready. Julius is always strapped, so what’s Jiro gonna do? JACKET PUNCH!! Jiro bails out before Diamond Mine rushes back in! Will Jiro get to give Julius more of those pocket punches on his way to facing Roddy for the gold?
Ikemen Jiro VS Julius Creed w/ Diamond Mine!
NXT returns and this match is already underway as Jiro hits an EDGE-O-MATIC! Jiro then shows off the jacket before he hits a NECK TWIST on Julius! Julius rolls to the corner, Hachiman coaches him up and Jiro runs in, but into a chop block! Julius gets even as he drags Jiro up to a gut wrench TOSS! Julius drags Jiro back up, RAMS him into a corner, and then pushes him around with pie face palms. Julius scoops Jiro for a POWERSLAM! Julius drags Jiro up again, gut wrench and suplex! Julius stalks Jiro, kicks him around, but Jiro kicks from below! Julius drags Jiro up as fans rally and he gut wrenches again, for another TOSS!
Diamond Mine likes what they see while fans rally for Jiro. Jiro throws body shots and haymakers, but Julius shoots in to get the leg for a lift and SLAM! Then an elbow drop, but it misses as Jiro moves! Jiro fires off forearms, then the JACKET PUNCH! JACKET PUNCH! JACKET PUNCH! DISCUS JACKET PUNCH!! Fans are fired up as Jiro whips but Julius reverses. Jiro hops up the corner to show off the jacket! Then he BOOTS Julius down, turns around, and headstand heel clap FALLING SPLASH! Cover, ONE!! Julius is tough and he bails out but Jiro ASAI MOONSAULTS! Fans fire up with Jiro but Diamond Mine is furious!
Jiro puts Julius in as fans rally for “NXT! NXT!” Jiro fires up, springboards but Julius catches him for a ROLLING SPINEBUSTER! BASEMENT LARIAT!! Cover, Julius wins!
Winner: Julius Creed, by pinfall
Tag teams, singles, Julius continues to win! And then Diamond Mine just mugs Jiro! But here comes KUSHIDA! The Time Splitter is back, he dumps Brutus out, dodges Julius then fires off forearms! He wants to throw a Fast Ball but he can’t hit Ivy. So Diamond Mine regroups and mugs Kushida! END OF HEARTACHE!! Will Diamond Mine crush anyone who dares stand in their way?
Raquel Gonzalez speaks.
“This title means I am queen of the mountain. From the start I said, line them up and I’ll knock them down. I have never ducked nor dodged any challenge. Iconic champions, sworn enemies, an ex-best friend, a future hall of famer. Which brings me to you, Mandy Rose. Making history comes with a price. And at Halloween Havoc, it’s on. But I’m upping the stakes. Let’s see how tough you really are, chiquita. Let’s spin the wheel and make the deal.” Raquel is willing to gamble on her title! Will Mandy be the one to bust when anything could happen at Halloween Havoc II?
NXT presents an all new Lashing Out with Lash Legend.
Lash welcomes us back to it and gets straight to it. Did everyone see the WWE Draft? She sure did! The Raw and SmackDown rosters have gotten so shaken up, they’ll be lucky to make it out alive. Next year, it’ll just be WWE Squid Games. Speaking of the Draft, time to reveal the “Legends of the Week.” It’s Hit~ Row~! Does anyone else walk around singing that? The crowd does, and she loves it, too! That deserves two snaps ‘n’ a clap.
But that also brings her to her next topic: The Lash Out of the Week. Any suggestions? That Tony D’Angelo trying to get in on the show. Lash’s guy told him there was a “scheduling problem” and left him at the door. Lash tells Tony that if he wants to be on the show, “Forget about it!” See y’all next time!
Kyle O’Reilly & Von Wagner VS Pete Dunne & Ridge Holland!
Like it or not, #KillerKyle only has big bad Von Wagner watching his back. But will Wagner’s inexperience hold Kyle back against the Bruiserweight and Northern Grit? Or is Wagner the wild card that Dunne & Holland can’t anticipate?
NXT returns and Dunne & Holland are already in the ring. The teams sort out and Dunne goes right at Wagner! Wagner gets around to waistlock and SLAM Dunne down, then CLUBS away on him!

Ridge CLUBS Kyle towards the corner, tags Dunne, and Dunne hooks up the legs. Dunne pulls on the arms, Kyle endures but Dunne pulls him back. Dunne gives up on the surfboard to STOMP the legs!

Ridge drags Kyle up and ROCKS him with a EuroUpper. Kyle throws body shots in return but Ridge DECKS Kyle with a EuroUpper. Cover, TWO! Ridge clamps onto Kyle with a chinbar and armlock.

It seems Kyle finally learned to trust Wagner, and they just took the fight to Dunne & Holland! Will these two stick together to take over NXT 2.0?
Chase University holds another lecture.
Andre Chase’s new lesson is ring awareness. Last week, he taught Odyssey Jones all about that when Jones put his foot under the bottom rope. Instead, it should’ve been over the bottom rope, so the ref could see it. Jones lacks the veteran instincts it takes to be successful in NXT. Any questions? Brandon up front says Chase pulled an illegal maneuver and it should’ve been a disqualification. Chase says he is open to discussing this point, “IF I GAVE A F***!” He slaps Brandon’s books off his desk and tells him to get out! Go down the hall to join Steve in the Dumbasses class! Give that kid an FU for him when you get there!
Chase is upset with students thinking for themselves, but will anyone still go to this class if that’s his attitude?
Tony D’Angelo speaks.
“So the streets are talking about my successful debut.” But he has to give props to Malk or whatever his name. But that guy was basically licking Tony’s boots. But now that Tony’s the man in NXT, he goes to check out Lashing Out, only for some mealy mouthed little producer to say there was some kind of “scheduling conflict.” But yeah, forget about it. Tony does things on his own time anyway. That producer, Mark, is a nice guy. But uh, Tony clearly has him in the trunk of an unmarked Mercedes. Will Tony D’Angelo make sure Lash’s people do business with him?
Duke Hudson VS Grayson Waller!
The high stakes poker player takes on the baller Golden Gloves winner. Will Duke be able to take Waller for everything he’s worth? Or will he fall to Waller’s hot hand?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the two tie up. Duke puts Waller in a corner, lets off and Waller dodges the haymaker to show off his footwork. They go again, Waller waistlocks then headlocks but Duke pries at the hold. Duke pulls hair, Waller JABS Duke with a palm strike!

Waller endures the squeeze, fights up to throw elbows, but Duke has another bearhug. Fans taunt Duke as “DOO~KIE! DOO~KIE!” but he ignores that. Waller JAWBREAKERS free, throws hands, then spins Duke to ROCK him with a forearm! Waller BOOTS, Duke puts him on the apron, but Waller shoulders in and HOTSHOTS Duke away! SOMERSAULT STUNNER!
Fans fire up as Waller grabs at Duke. Duke has the skirt, Waller gets the roll up, TWO! Waller goes to ropes but Duke disrupts the springboard! Roll-up, with the tights! Duke wins!!
Winner: Duke Hudson, by pinfall
That was rather underhanded for the poker player, and he gives Waller a poker chip as a parting token. Will Waller have better luck next time? Will Duke be playing for a bigger pot, aka a title, soon enough?
Santos Escobar speaks.
“It’s unfortunate what happened to Hit Row today. And Swerve, it’s a real shame your familia isn’t here and mine is always with me.” But he reassures Swerve that tonight, Legado stays in the locker room so that it’ll be Swerve VS Escobar, mano y mano. Good luck, cowboy! Escobar is laughing now, but will Swerve have the last laugh in the main event?
Dexter Lumis is with Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta backstage.
He’s accompanying them to gorilla, and Indi gives her man a big wet kiss on the cheek as thanks. The music hits, Indi & Persia head out for their tag team debut!
Imperium speaks.
Marcel Barthel says “It’s sad. It’s an absolute embarrassment!” MSK being the team that are the champions, yet also representing everything WRONG with this generation. “But not for long.” Fabian Aichner says “This generation is soft. Everyone is attached to their phones and no one is willing to work hard.” MSK is an embarrassment to this sport! No honor, no pride, no elegance, because they don’t even know what these words mean! But do not worry, Imperium is here to save NXT. Because to them, the mat is sacred. When and where will Aichner & Barthel get their chance to “redeem” the NXT Tag Team Division?
Indi Hartwell & Persia Pirotta VS Sarray & Amari Miller!
The #Impressive best friends are climbing towards the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships, but they still have to be victorious. Can they outshine the Warrior of the Sun and the Star of St. Louis?

Persia BOOTS her down, then gives Amari a SWINGING X-FACTOR! Indi springboards for the PRETTY SAVAGE ELBOW! Cover, Indi & Persia win!
Winners: Indi Hartwell & Persia Pirotta, by pinfall
An impressive first match for the best friends, but was it enough to earn a tag title opportunity? Persia gets a mic to says, “What a way to start it off, hey? So how about you, me and those NXT Women’s Tag titles?” But speaking of, here come Shirai & Stark! Shirai tells them in Japanese to shut it with this tag title stuff. “I don’t like you. I don’t like you. And-” Stark stops Shirai there, she knows Shirai doesn’t like Stark, either. Well don’t speak for her. Oh so then she does like Stark? No. But here come Toxic Attraction! Jacy wants this to stop. “She likes me, she likes me not. We don’t give a damn about any one of you!” They just want the titles.
And now it turns into a brawl, Toxic Attraction with the champs! Indi and Persia get involved but get beat up, too! Gigi throws Indi out, Shirai gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX Gigi down! Persia hammers away on Stark but Jacy dumps her out! Stark HEEL KICKS Jacy down! The champs are fired up and standing tall, will they take on both teams just to shut them all up?
Grayson Waller walks backstage.
He says he to Cora Jade as she walks by, but then says hey to a lovely lady in blue. Blue’s his favorite color, after all. He’s gonna go shower, how about she goes freshen up and meet him out back. Cameron Grimes slides up and asks how Waller pulled that off. Well it’s as Grimes said, love is in the air. Waller didn’t even try his best, it’s probably just his accent. But he just lost a match. And Grimes is still upset about his loss. It’s not about wins and losses, it’s about likes ‘n’ swipes. Grimes has all the money in the world. If he shaved his chest, his beard, and cleaned up, he’d find a lady.
Well where would he find said lady to begin with? Ever tried dating apps? Check it. Whoa, no way! Will Grimes have the same luck in finding love as he did with investing?
A new fighter is coming to NXT.
“You won’t find my wins and losses in any record books. Those live on the streets. I was left to fight alone when I was 15 years old, and that’s when I became Solo Sikoa, Street Champion of the Island.”
NXT North American Championship: Isaiah “Swerve” Scott VS Santos Escobar!
Santos promised this would finally be a 1v1 match between these two, but can he really be trusted? Or will Swerve see all the tricks in the book coming and throw them in Escobar’s face?
NXT returns and Escobar makes his entrance. Legado accompanies him on stage, but they do seem to keep their promise as they return to the back. But Swerve attacks at the ramp! Swerve RAMS Escobar into steel steps! Swerve glares Escobar right in the face, saying this is for HIS family. They go into the ring, the ref wants Swerve to wait for Escobar to get to his feet. Escobar does, the bell rings, and Escobar bails out to steady himself. But Swerve FLIES! Down goes Escobar with that Fosbury Flop! Swerve drags Escobar up, making him look at the camera before he throws him into the other steel steps! Swerve gets in the ring and lets the ring count climb.
Escobar stands at 7 so Swerve goes out to restart the count. Swerve puts Escobar on the apron, pulls off the protection on the corner crossbar, but Escobar scrambles into the ring. Swerve grins as he stalks Escobar and kicks him around. Swerve whips, tilt-o-whirl scoops and BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Swerve smirks as Escobar writhes and fans rally up. Swerve runs to drop a knee! Cover, ONE! Swerve keeps cool, fans rally and duel, and Swerve stalks Escobar again. Swerve drags Escobar up to half nelson but Escobar blocks the lift. Swerve CLUBS and CHOPS Escobar down but Escobar again blocks the lift.
Escobar jumps to arm-drag Swerve away! Swerve bails out, Escobar runs and slides but Swerve goes up onto the apron. Escobar trips Swerve and Swerve lands hard on the apron! Escobar builds speed and keeps going, ARROW FROM HELL!! Direct hit and Swerve goes flying over the announce desk! Escobar is all fired up as NXT goes picture in picture.
Escobar goes around the desk to fetch Swerve. He stands Swerve up just to toss him over the desk back the other way! Then he stands Swerve up to whip him into steel steps! That’s a receipt for earlier! Fans rally and Escobar stalks Swerve back into the ring. Escobar stomps Swerve around, drags him by his legs and ties those up to then punch away at Swerve’s kidneys! Escobar bends Swerve back in this modified Queen Angelito, and then smothers Swerve with a hand over his mouth! Escobar drops Swerve, stomps away on him, then gets both legs for a BOSTON CRAB!

Well so much for Hit Row bringing the gold to the blue brand! The Breakout Star new how to play the game and got the biggest win in his career! Will there be no stopping Melo now that he has the title around his waist?
My Thoughts:
As exciting as that ending was, NXT sure shoved in a lot in this episode, and not necessarily in a good way. I don’t think Xyon Quinn has had anything other than short matches, and he had another short one here. Ivy Nile having a squash match for her debut is fine, that is just standard formula in WWE anyway. But I felt a bit soured that Julius Creed beat Ikemen Jiro in what ended up a short match since it started during the break. I would’ve rather Jiro found a quick way to win and then that’s reason for Diamond Mine to mug him. Kushida coming out was still a good move, and I’m betting we get Kushida & Jiro VS Creed Brothers, and that could be the Creed Brothers’ first loss.
Duke VS Waller was another short match when it probably could’ve been more, but whatever, apparently it’s more important to use Waller to push Grimes’ search for his Lady Luck. Admittedly, Grimes again being behind the times and not knowing about dating apps was funny. But I just don’t understand anything about this new romcom edict. Do we need this? Johnny and Candice worked because they’re legitimately a great couple, #InDex worked on how it’s so goofy and it turns tropes around on their heads, but they don’t need to be force fed NXT shipping as written by Vince. But hey, if anyone can make it fun for viewers, it’s Grimes.
That promo of the person with the shovel had a voice mod on it, but you could totally tell it was female with an accent. I have a strong feeling this is Dakota Kai making a comeback with a new element to her character, as is the way of NXT 2.0. Toxic Attraction’s promo was generic “We’re Heels!” type stuff, and it comes out of order when we already saw Gigi & Jacy lose to Shirai & Stark. And then, was Sarray really part of the team that jobbed to Indi & Persia? But of course Vince favors hotties with bodies in this. Mandy Rose gets to face Raquel Gonzalez, and surely lose in whatever badass stipulation they’re given, while Toxic Attraction might take the pin in the coming Triple Threat for the Women’s Tag titles. At least, that’s what I hope.
But we still got really good things. Ciampa VS Gacy was a solid match, but of course Ciampa wins. Gacy can’t be in the title match, he’d take the loss in the Triple Threat to keep the other two strong. Plus, he now has this thing with “Harland” Parker Boudreaux, possibly the start of a faction, maybe something to get us to accept Gacy’s gimmick as more than just tone deaf parody. Ciampa and Breakker have good interactions with GYV, and they’re having a tag match next week in what already feels like a really good go-home to Halloween Havoc. Andre Chase honestly does do good as a character, that Chase University segment was funny. But he’s totally losing to Odyssey Jones.
Wagner and Kyle had a really good match with Dunne & Holland, and clearly Wagner’s got the push behind him. I think this was good for a send-off to Holland, he’ll head to SmackDown and start wrecking people on his way to the Intercontinental Championship and Nakamura. Wagner and Kyle could be a team, or they could end up rivals for the North American Championship or something, who knows. Not sure, but I think Tony D’Angelo is ending up in a feud with Lash Legend where she gets a proxy from the men’s division to fight him. It’s something different and I wouldn’t mind seeing how that turns out so Lash isn’t just a talk show host this entire time.
What was really good tonight was the send-off for Hit Row. First, Legado is implicated in Adonis being gone, then they blatantly get rid of B-Fab and Dolla, and then we got a pretty great match of Swerve VS Escobar. It was quite the great twist, actually, for Swerve to retain against Escobar, as he should have given how everything felt in the feud of Hit Row VS Legado, only for Melo to go MITB and cash-in. Honestly, I think that is a great addition to how the Breakout Tournament contract works, and it really gives the episode a hot ending. Melo can now carry on against Legado, Trick being his guy to watch his back, maybe setting something up for Halloween Havoc.
My Score: 8.9/10

Backstage interview with MXM Collection.
Alicia Atout is with Mansoor & Mason, and says their match with The Acclaimed came with many promises. One was to end scissoring, and the other is to have a mystery guest at ringside.

He is fabulous, and he will beautifully make sure MXM takes Acclaimed’s spot and ends scissoring forever. But first… how do they look… RICO!? Wait, what!? YES! Rico Constantino says they look so~ good to him. The OG wrestling model is All Elite, but will he help MXM bury scissoring?

And with that, scissoring will live on in AEW! Will making it past MXM mean Caster & Bowens are on their way back to the AEW World Tag Team Championships?
Mercedes Mone & Kamille walk ‘n’ talk.
The CEO wants eyes up here, cameraman. “Tacomaaa~! Say hello to your Double Champion, The C E O. And we have arrived! Now where is my locker room?” Mone asks a AEW staff member that very question, and hopes she has her espresso machine. She has to get ready for the show. Queen Aminata steps in to say that she doesn’t care who Mone is, or how many titles she has, or what she’s done in this business. There is no reason to be rude like this. Oh, no reason~! Who even are YOU? Mone has no time for Aminata. Now, to her locker room! The CEO has disrespected a queen, will she come to regret it?
Tony Schiavone is on stage.
Schiavone reminds us that WrestleDream is the event dedicated to the life and memory of the late, great Antonio Inoki, founder of NJPW and wrestling legend in his own right.

Now that was an incredible crossover and victory for this Freshly Squeezed foursome! And even bigger than that, they all wind up, to MEGA POWER HANDSHAKE! But will things get even sweeter with Mark Briscoe repping The Conglomeration against Chris Jericho?
Backstage interview with Kazuchika Okada.
Renee says The Rainmaker has now been cleared for competition, but has no match set for tonight. Why is he in Tacoma tonight? Okada says he is here to support The Elite. Yes, they are in action tonight, but- Kyle interrupts! He apologizes, but it is good to see Okada here. Kyle respects Okada, but he’s never faced Okada 1v1. And since Okada is cleared, how about Kyle gets a match? Okada says let him think about it. He thinks on it right here and now. And then says, “HELL NO!” Okada steps away, but comes back to add, “B*tch!” Kyle says that’s fine, he gets it. Maybe next time he’ll try… HAYMAKERS!!
The security rushes in here, as does Christopher Daniels! The Fallen Angel says tonight is one of the biggest nights, there can’t be chaos like this! They are both OUT of the building! GO! Okada and Kyle leave, but will these two have it out on Dynamite?
Hangman Page VS Jay White w/ Juice Robinson!
This rivalry goes back to the days when The Black Hat and the Switchblade were Young Lions in NJPW, on excursion in ROH, and then returned as established men fighting over the IWGP United States Championship. But while Hangman is looking to avenge all the wrongs imagined in his mind, White just wants payback for Hangman putting him on the shelf! Will WrestleDream be ready for some #CowboySh*t? Or will Tacoma soon breathe with the Switchblade?

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee Paquette doesn’t do the CEO introduction she did on Tuesday, but now it’s not good enough for the Two Belt Boss! Mone says she needs something something, more flava. Then joining her now is- Okay, no, Renee is better off just asking the questions. Renee congratulates Mone on her double title defense victory on Title Tuesday, but those chops from Emi Sakura…! It was like one after another! Wasn’t it like 30 or something? Mone & Kamille tell Renee to stop. Mone is still feeling the pain. But she is The CEO, she has no time for this, it is time to handle business. She has to go jump on her private jet, something Renee knows nothing about!
But Kamille is staying here to watch Kris Statlander very closely. And do you know why? Because money changes everything! Bye-bye, Renee. Mone heads out, Brickhouse stays, and Renee sheepishly exits. Will Kamille make sure the #BornAgainKristen doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk?
The Acclaimed VS ???
Speaking of talking and walking, Platinum Max Caster leads the way for Anthony Bowens as they- GET JUMPED BY MXM COLLECTION!? The fans boo as Mansoor & Mason Madden beat down Caster & Bowens! Mason may have been a football player but he dribbles Caster off the ramp while Mansoor stomps away on Bowens! Mason RIPS the customized jacket, to then CHOKE Caster with it! Mansoor runs Bowens right into the side of the tunnel! MXM is getting revenge for their New York fashion show finale being ruined, and they place The Acclaimed side by side on stage.
Mansoor has Caster’s mic to say, “Now you see what happens, huh!? Now you see what happens when Daddy Ass isn’t around to protect you. We drop you on YOUR asses! And I bet you didn’t think we could do it, huh? I bet none of you thought MXM Collection were capable of this!” Bowens tris to sit up but Mansoor stomps him down. Mansoor says MXM didn’t wanna take it this far! They wanted to keep it light. They wanted to keep it fun. But Acclaimed took something special from them! They took MXM’s Grand Slam Collision moment away!
“So now, we are going to take something from you. Tomorrow night, WrestleDream, MXM Collection BEAT The Acclaimed, and WE are going to take YOUR spot!” The fans boo, but Mansoor says when numbers are even, MXM come out on top. Tomorrow night, MXM will have a very special surprise in their corner. It will be a third man, and Acclaimed, Mansoor promises them, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that third man will make sure they KILL scissoring and bury it once and for all! Mansoor then shouts to Mason, “Touch! My! Tip!” They finger boop as the fans boo, but both challenge and promise have been made. Who will be that third man, brother?
Kris Statlander speaks.
“You ever feel like somewhere along the way, you lost who you were? That’s exactly what happened to me. When you make a change, you need to think where you went wrong or how you got there. For me, everything went wrong when Mercedes Mone showed up. My best friend became obsessed with her. I let Stokely get in my ear, and I got led down the wrong path. I didn’t know who I was, but I did what I needed to do. And on the five year anniversary of Dynamite, I was reminded of who I am. I became ‘Born Again Kristen,’ and I am the biggest, baddest, strongest woman in AEW. I’m coming for Mercedes Mone and her TBS title.”
The Galaxy’s Greatest has her head on straight, but will she be able to earn that shot at championship redemption in the background of WrestleDream?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee is with Cassidy, Kyle and Rocky, and she commends Cassidy & Kyle on their win over The Kingdom. And tonight, Rocky is going to step into the ring with “The Bad Apple,” Bryan Keith. How does he feel ahead of his match? Rocky says he’s a little pissed. On Title Tuesday, The Learning Tree said Rocky was just some lackey for The Conglomeration. But Rocky is no man’s lackey! Tonight, he shows the Learning Tree, and most importantly Bryan Keith, that Rocky is his own man. Kyle says that’s right, Rocky. But um, Mark Briscoe isn’t here tonight, so what’s the word of the day? Kyle really needs to know.
Rocky says the word of the day is they stand back here while he handles business. Rocky heads out, will Azucar get himself some sweet victory? Or will The Bad Apple make him taste bitter defeat?
Kris Statlander VS Amira!
With The CEO’s Brickhouse watching backstage, #BornAgainKristen looks to keep her win streak going. Will there be no stopping Kris on her road back to the TBS Championship?
The bell rings, and Kris runs right up to UPPERCUT Amira in a corner! Then she goes side to side to KNEE Amira, and reels her in for a suplex! Kris holds Amira up to show off that strength, and then she SLAMS Amira down! Kris kips up and the fans fire up! Kris storms back up on Amira, but Amira fires forearms! Kris shoves Amira, Amira ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Kris stops the rana! Tuck and STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Another win that wasn’t just strong, but fast! Kamille is only moderately impressed, but will she be feeling different about Kris after they have a head-on Collision?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee is with The Learning Tree and brings up tomorrow night, WrestleDream, and the ROH World Championship match with Mark Briscoe. However, Jericho has quickly made this match personal with Mark, what is going on? Jericho smiles and says, “Hi, guys~! You know what’s personal to me, Renee? It’s the legacy of Chris Jericho. And after 34 years in this business, I can honestly say I’ve done and seen it all. I have headlined the biggest buildings in the world, from the Tokyo Dome to Madison Square Garden, to Rod Laver Arena in Sydney, Australia. Arena Mexico, everything. Nobody has had the impact over generations like Chris Jericho has.
“And now, it’s the dawn of a new Chris Jericho. As you know, I always reinvent myself, evolve. I was The Ocho. But now, it’s time for The Nueve. And Mark Briscoe, you know what the word of the day is? It’s, ‘Humbled.’ And you need to be humbled. Cuz you got a great rep, everyone feels for you. They give you a lot of free rides. You get to cut a lot of corners. The fans feel the same way, I don’t. So at WrestleDream tomorrow, I am going to humble you, Mark Briscoe. And if I made things personal, that’s just too bad. If I’m getting inside your head, that’s just what Chris Jericho does.
“So tomorrow at WrestleDream, I will become the ROH World Champion, for a second time! Just like Jay Briscoe, two-time ROH Champion. And Mark, that’s going to be personal. See you tomorrow. The Nueve’s coming. Thanks, guys~!” Jericho stops smiling, but will he fail to keep that promise against a very angry Sussex County Chicken?
The Beast Mortos VS The Butcher!
Roderick Strong is on commentary to claim Beast Mortos has simply wondered away from The Kingdom, and he just needs to see he cannot trust Jake The Snake Roberts. But will Mortos only focus on destroying his opponent? Or can The Butcher make Mortos in a prime cut of beef?
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. The fans rally, the two tie up again, and then the two break again. Butcher and Mortos fire up, tie up again, and push each other back and forth. Butcher puts Mortos in the corner, the fans chant “BEAT THAT MEAT!” but the ref counts. Butcher backs off, he and Mortos reset, and they tie up again. They’re in another deadlock, but now Mortos powers Butcher back. Mortos lets off, but then SMACKS Butcher! The fans fire up as Butcher snarls. Butcher and Mortos tie up, and Butcher wrenches an arm to a wristlock.
Mortos goes up the ropes to flip through! Mortos wrenches, headlocks, but Butcher powers out. They RAM shoulders, and Butcher says Mortos’s got nothing!

Butcher CLUBS Mortos, then brings him around to whip into the apron! Butcher LARIATS Mortos down, and he looms over the beast. Butcher drags Mortos up, to then APRON BACK SUPLEX! Mortos staggers then falls over, and Butcher refreshes the ring count. Butcher ROCKS Mortos, CHOPS him, then stalks him around the way. Mortos SMACKS Butcher! Butcher ROCKS Mortos! Butcher SMACKS Mortos off the steel steps, then stalks him around the way. Butcher ROCKS Mortos again, Roddy shouts for Mortos to get going, but Butcher BITES Mortos on the forehead! The ref reprimands but Butcher stalks Mortos.
Butcher BOOTS Mortos, puts him in the ring, then storms over. Butcher drags Mortos into a chinlock and digs fingers into Mortos’ face! Butcher CLUBS Mortos but Mortos fires body shots! Mortos backs Butcher down, fires up, but Butcher CLOBBERS him from behind! Butcher drops a knee on Mortos, Mortos goes to a corner, and Butcher digs his boots in. The ref counts, but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and now Mortos has Butcher down. The fans fire up and Mortos storms up to LARIAT! But Butcher stays up! Mortos LARIATS again, but Butcher shakes his head.

Mortos roars, but DOUBLE LARIATS take both behemoths down! The fans fire up and a standing count starts. Butcher and Mortos slowly rise, and they go to opposite ends.

Roddy says he was Mortos’ good luck charm! Jake the Snake is watching, he likes what he sees from his new client. But will Mortos be able to bring down Hologram in their WrestleDream Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is with the wild Aussie and asks if there’s any update on Saraya, who suffered in that brutal loss on Title Tuesday in that Fatal 4 Way. Harley says yes, Saraya is once again “incapacitated.” Then how is Harley holding up? She’s capacitated. What? Exactly! But do you know whose fault this really is? Does Renee know whom? Who? No, whom. Just say whom. ANNA JAY! What? She wasn’t even in the match! Exactly! It was an Anything Goes, so Anna could’ve been that anything, but she didn’t show up. Harley had to pull wood outta her ass, but where was Anna? Probably home watching her Stardom tapes? Ohh~!
All of a sudden, Anna goes to Japan and now she’s too big for the rest of them? Anna was supposed to be Saraya’s friend, but she wasn’t there, and now Saraya is pissed. And when Saraya is pissed, Harley kicks ass! Renee is confused, Harley says no more questions, and Harley storms off. Will the Star of the Show pay for simply doing nothing?
Lance Archer VS Matt Brannigan!
He may be part of the Don Callis Family now, but he’s still the Murderhawk Monster! He demolished people in the parking lot, he demolished his opponent on ROH last night, will he just keep on demolishing people until he’s become a champion?
The bell rings and Brannigan flexes right up in Archer’s face, but then regrets it. Archer choke grips, but Brannigan slips free! Brannigan dodges in the corner, CHOPS, but again regrets it.

The fans fire up, Archer puts Brannigan back in the corner, and he fakes the chop. The fans boo but Archer puts Brannigan up top. UPPERCUT, and then crucifix lift! BLACKOUT BOMB! Cover, Archer wins!
Winner: Lance Archer, by pinfall
Callis loves the dominance of his Murderhawk Monster, but will Callis help Archer finally have gold here in AEW?
Jake the Snake speaks.
It was just after Title Tuesday and the world saw La Faccion Ingobernable join this living legend when Jake Roberts said, “Anybody that knows Jake Roberts knows that Jake Roberts has been all over the world, wrestled everyone. From Andre the Giant to Hulk Hogan and back. It did not matter. But they also know that Jake Roberts never cared about rules. Rules are for children. We’re not children. My friend, what we have here, matadors? Maybe. Maybe ninjas, who knows. I will tell you this: They’re hungry. What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. Because when Jake Roberts tells you something, you can take it to heart.
“Rules are meant to be broken, like bones. And my friend, they’ll be glad to do both for you.” Rush tells us all to remember: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! LFI throw up the fists, who will get those fists in their face in the very near future?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Renee is now with The Star of the Show and brings up the harsh words from Harley. Harley blames Anna for not being a friend? Anna says yes, that’s right, they’re not friends, never were friends. It was a one-time team up, and they took some nice pictures, but Anna’s not running out to the ring to help two women who wouldn’t even spit on her if she was on fire. Anna takes care of herself, and that is fine. She has her own back, and needs both hands. What has she been saying since getting back? #JustTryMe. So what’s so hard about that? Anna is here and ready for anyone.
Harley wants to kick Anna’s ass? This one? Anna shows it to the camera. Just a heads up, this ass can kick back. Harley has been warned, will she reconsider her misplaced aggression?
Rocky Romero VS Bryan Keith!
Azucar may not be on the current Conglomeration merch shirt, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less a part of the team. Will Rocky make sure everyone, especially The Bad Apple, understands that?
But Keith doesn’t wait for the bell, he attacks Rocky at the corner! The bell does ring, Keith fires off forearms, and the ref reprimands. Keith lets off just to dig his boot in, but the ref tells Keith to stop. Keith snatches Rocky’s eyepatch away, then SMACKS him with it! Keith CHOPS Rocky, whips him corner to corner, but Rocky goes up and up to CROSSBODY! Rocky rains down fists, and he fires up! The fans fire up with Rocky but Keith bails out. Rocky finally takes off his jacket, and goes out after Keith. Keith knees low, whips, but Rocky stops from hitting steps! Rocky SMACKS Keith off steps, then uses steps to go up and FLYING RANA!
The fans fire up while Rocky gives some Latino Heat. Rocky puts Keith in, climbs a corner, but Keith bails out. The fans boo, but then Rocky WRECKS Keith with a dropkick! Rocky hurries out after Keith and the fans rally again. Rocky uses steps again, but Keith catches Rocky! EXPLODER to the floor! Rocky writhes and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Keith storms up on Rocky, rains down fists, but stops as the ref reprimands. Keith paces around, drags Rocky up, and CHOPS him! Rocky staggers away, Keith storms up and CHOPS again. Keith whips Rocky hard into railing! Rocky falls in a heap but Keith still seethes. Keith drags Rocky up, puts him in, and then drags Rocky up just to snapmare him back down. Keith drops a knee on Rocky’s face! Cover, TWO! Keith argues the count but Aubrey defends that two is two. Keith storms after Rocky to CHOP him in a corner. Keith stalks Rocky, bumps him off buckles, then puts him against ropes!
Aubrey counts, Keith lets off, and Keith puts Rocky in a corner. Keith whips corner to corner, Rocky reverses, then Rocky runs up to LARIAT! Rocky fires up, runs again, LARIAT! That’s two-ever but Rocky keeps moving, only for Keith to use Aubrey as a shield! Jericho really has taught him well. Rocky helps Aubrey aside, and he fires haymakers on Keith! Rocky ROCKS Keith, then whips corner to corner. Keith reverses, runs up, and he LARIATS Rocky inside-out! Keith then shouts at the camera, probably “RESPECT CHRIS JERICHO!” Keith clamps onto Rocky with a chinlock and grinds him down.
Rocky endures, pries at the hold, and fights up to his feet. Rocky fires body shots, then ROCKS Keith! And ROCKS him again! Keith CHOPS, Rampage returns to single picture, then he runs up. Rocky BOOTS back, but Keith just roars! Rocky BOOTS him again, then CHOPS Keith on the back! Rocky CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Keith in the chest, then puts Keith in a corner. Rocky KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away, then stomps a mudhole! Rocky digs both boots in, but Aubrey counts. Rocky lets off and is all fired up, as is Spokane. Rocky waits on Keith, runs in at him, but Keith dodges! Keith runs in, but into an UPPERCUT!
Rocky goes up and up and FLYING TORNADO DDTS! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives but Rocky stays focused. Rocky drags Keith up, then runs up to SLICED- NO, Keith slips free of the bread. Keith fires elbows, Rocky ducks one, but Keith runs up ropes! Rocky denies Keith his tornado DDT, and then wrenches, only for Keith to ROCK him! Underhooks, TIGER KNEE STRIKE! Cover, TWO!! Rocky survives and Keith is stunned! Keith pulls at his hair in frustration but the fans rally up. Keith tells the kids to sit down, and he watches Rocky go to a corner. Keith runs in, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI!
Rocky goes up, leaps, but into another clinch! EXP- SUNSET FLIP! Keith rolls through, blocks a kick, ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL! Rocky runs up, SLICED BREAD!! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives again and the fans fire up! Rocky pounds the mat, the fans rally behind him, and he goes to a corner. Rocky climbs, but Keith hurries after him! Rocky fights the clinch, ROCKS Keith, but Keith RISING HEADBUTTS! Keith roars, fans boo, but Keith climbs up. Keith turns Rocky around, and BITES Rocky’s head! Aubrey reprimands, but Keith brings Rocky up, only for Rocky to fight! Rocky HEADBUTTS, and cravats!
The fans fire up for the SUPER SLICED BREAD!! Rocky clutches a leg, crawls to the cover, but Keith rolls away! Keith saves himself and fans boo as he goes to the floor. Rocky is frustrated, but he just builds speed. Rocky DIVES and down goes Keith! The fans fire up again and Rocky hobbles after Keith. Rocky drags Keith up, puts him in the ring, and the fans rally again. But Keith talks to Aubrey about pain in his neck. BIG BILL APPEARS, and he YANKS Rocky down! Then he BOOTS Rocky down! The fans boo but Bill puts Rocky in, Aubrey completely missing it! Keith runs in to KNEE Rocky at the corner!
Keith goes up and he reels Rocky in! DIAMOND DUST!! Cover, Keith wins!!
Winner: Bryan Keith, by pinfall
Kyle & Cassidy hurry out here but it is too late! The Bad Apple scores his win off Azucar, and he leaves to celebrate with The Redwood. Will there be no stopping The Learning Tree from having gold in his branches? Or can Mark Briscoe #ManUp and prevent The Nueve’s arrival?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even for a go-home, but clearly it suffered from the same dilemma as Dynamite in that with no Collision to take the pressure off, a lot more promos and story build had to be put here. Good promo from Mone to play off the one from Tuesday, good promo from Statlander to give us some idea as to why she got away from Stokely, and of course Kris squashes her opponent. Kris VS Kamille is going to be great stuff, and I think Kris sets herself up for a match with Mone at Full Gear. Good promo from Harley and Anna to set up their own match, which I would think Anna wins to get going towards her own title shot.
The Acclaimed being scheduled for a match just so MXM can jump them was pretty clever, but do they really need to have their match on WrestleDream? It feels like the only reason it’s a PPV match is because this third man will pull a Hulk Hogan founding NWO type move. It’ll be a Face going Heel and joining up. I don’t think it’ll be Daddy Ass, there has been no hint he wants out of The Acclaimed. It might be Caster because he wants to break away and prove he on his own is “The Best Wrestler Alive.” This blindside attack would then be a way to disguise that, because Caster got beat up as much as Bowens, but I guess we’ll wait and see.
Mortos VS Butcher was great stuff, and I found it kinda funny that Roddy was on commentary trying to still turn Mortos back to his side. Roddy & The Kingdom claiming all this stuff about Mortos has been pretty funny because clearly it’s all their delusion. Mortos is LFI, he and Hologram are going to have an awesome, potentially show stealing match, and then win or lose, Mortos and LFI will beat up The Kingdom. As such, good promo from Jake the Snake, I really hope LFI gets going this time. Meanwhile, Archer of course destroyed Brannigan, and likewise, let’s hope Archer can get a title now that Callis is his guy.
And really good stuff out of The Conglomeration’s story tonight. Very good tag match to open, can’t go wrong with Cassidy & Kyle VS Kingdom. What’s interesting was the respectful handshake after the match, so that further implies The Kingdom is going Face so they can battle LFI. Good promo from Jericho to give some last hype to the ROH World Championship, but I would hope Mark Briscoe wins. Rocky had a very good promo with Conglomeration, and a great match against Bryan Keith. But I just had a feeling Keith would win thanks to Bill, and good detail that Conglomeration didn’t get out there in time. That technically did honor Rocky’s request that they stay back, but Rocky should’ve known better. I would hope Rocky doesn’t cost Mark the title, we cannot go back to “Ring of Jericho”. No Nueve, por favor.
My Score: 8.6/10
