Has Dempsey seen them? If he does, tell them Gallus is looking for them. Gallus storms off and Dempsey says this is the second time this has happened. Will Dempsey still focus on his opponent in the ring tonight?
Amale VS Myla Grace!
The French Hope shoulders the honor of an entire country on her shoulders as she represents France in NXT UK. Will she get back on a winning track? Or will the bubbly break dancer from Belfast make a big impression in her debut?
The bell rings, Amale and Grace circle, tie up, and Amale waistlocks to SLAM Grace down. Amale talks trash in French, Grace gets up to waistlock. Amale elbows out hard, bumps Grace off buckles then headlocks and thrashes Grace around. Grace endures, even as Amale thrashes more.

Winner: Amale, by pinfall
Davenport isn’t impressed but Amale doesn’t care. She is ready to make an impact, but will she be given the shot she feels she deserves?
Backstage interview with Aleah James.
NXT UK Media says she got a big win last week over Xia Brookside, how is she feeling? Well she’s been a whole year now so she’s excited she got a win. But Nina Samuels takes over to make this interview part of her show. Though it takes a certain caliber of performer to be on Nina’s show, and she isn’t sure Aleah measures up. A small height joke but Nina laughs. Aleah asks if there’s a problem. Maybe another time, Nina. Aleah isn’t doing this now. Nina scowls as Aleah walks off set, but manages a smile as she signs off for her show. Will Aleah get to show Nina her caliber in the ring at some point?
Subculture gets NXT UK Media to follow them.
Dani Luna doublechecks if Flash Morgan Webster is sure about this. They should wait for Mark Andrews, at least. No, FMW is going in now. He walks into the locker room and finds Rampage Brown. Rampage tells him, “Don’t you dare.” Everyone knows what FMW’s been up to. FMW says okay, but he still goes for the slap! Rampage blocks that then pins FMW against a wall! “You’re gonna get yourself hurt. If you want a match, all you had to do was ask.” Rampage lets FMW go easy this time, but will it get much, much worse for the Modfather once they’re in the ring?
Charlie Dempsey VS Danny Jones!
The young technician got his first win off #TurboTerry in impressive manner, but will he be able to make it an impressive 2-0? Or will “Raving” Danny Jones be a little too much for a second opponent?
The bell rings and the tow tie up right away. Dempsey hits an arm-drag, they’re still tied up in a collar ‘n’ elbow and the two stand up. Dempsey tries another arm-drag but Jones stays up, so Dempsey drops to get a leg pick. Dempsey has a standing toehold, Jones kicks with his free leg and is free. They tie up again, Dempsey cravats and EuroUppers, then goes back to the cravat for a standing neck wrench. Jones throws Dempsey but Dempsey holds on. CRAVAT PLEX! Dempsey has a cravat cover, TWO! Jones fights up, throws body shots, powers out and hip tosses! Jones fires up and throws EuroUppers! Dempsey comes back with EuroUppers of his own, but Jones URAKENS!
Dempsey staggers, Jones drags him down to a sleeper! Dempsey fights free but Jones uses an omoplata to bring him around and tie up the legs! Modified BOW ‘N’ ARROW! Dempsey pops free, covers, TWO! Dempsey tries again with a half nelson and a forearm grinding in Jones’ face. Jones fights up, Dempsey wants a half hatch but Jones gets a leg pick. Dempsey gets away, they circle and Jones shoots in but into a cravat. Jones slips out to get the leg but Dempsey gets an arm! Dempsey has a double wristlock and then a leg hook to really twist that shoulder! Then Dempsey KNEES Jones! Jones comes back to ROCK Dempsey with a forearm!

Dempsey floats to another press, TWO! A deep leg hook, TWO! Dempsey keeps on Jones with a facelock then a GROVIT! Jones endures, Dempsey RAMS him into a corner, then GROVIT SUPLEXES! Cover, TWO!! Jones survives but Dempsey isn’t stopping here. Dempsey chinlocks, thrashes Jones around, but Jones fights up to throw body shots. Dempsey headlocks, Jones throws hands and powers up but can’t power out, so he hits a BIG back suplex!
Fans cheer as Jones runs in but into a low headbutt! Dempsey throws knees, hooks the arms, BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Bridging to a float over to the BUTTERFLY LOCK! Jones endures, Dempsey gets up again and hits another BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! And another float over, back to the BUTTERFLY LOCK! Jones endures, Dempsey shifts to a chicken wing and crossface! Dempsey joins hands to WRENCH Jones back, Jones taps! Dempsey wins!
Winner: Charlie Dempsey, by submission
Two for two and just as torturous as the first! Dempsey takes holds to a new level, will that agonizing arsenal take him to the top of NXT UK?
NXT UK takes a closer look at Satomura VS Jinny.
The Spoiled Princess says, “Meiko Satomura has been wrestling for over 20 years. Every single time she steps foot in the ring, she shows everyone why she is the Final Boss. But 20 years is a long time. You become weakened, you become frail, you become slow.” Meiko admits she is nervous every title defense, but she gets tougher and stronger. Jinny knows Meiko dared everyone else to step up, but not Jinny. That’s because even Meiko knows Jinny is dangerous. Meiko likes dangerous. “Jinny, you cannot beat me. You are the queen, I’m the Final Boss.” Jinny says she finishes the Final Boss and becomes the new champion. Meiko tells Jinny to be prepared, because this is going down NEXT WEEK!
Isla Dawn goes back to her secret box.
She admires and even praises the collection she’s amassed. “Face and hand to reach the sun and the cold dirt.” The hair she tore from Dani Luna, the red lipstick she took from Jinny. One more charm of power trouble, and thus complete shall be the puzzle. “Ascension will be there upon. Progression inevitable as the Dawn.” Just what is the Wicked Witch brewing for the NXT UK Women’s Division?
NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship: Tyler Bate w/ Trent Seven VS Noam Dar w/ Sha Samuels!
The Big Strong Boy has beaten the Scottish Supernova with the cup on the line before and promises to do it again. Does Bate have Dar’s number? Or will nothing deny Dar what he feels is his destiny?
The introductions are made, the cup is raised, and we see how many rounds this rematch goes!
Round one begins and fans rally as the two circle. They feel things out, tie up with knuckle locks but let off to circle more. Dar tries a kick but Bate stays clear. They tie up, Dar waistlocks and slams Bate down, then facelocks. Bate rolls, Dar stays with him, gets around to a waistlock and rolls Bate, but Bate switches to get a leg. Dar gets away and to the ropes. Fans cheer the technical exchange and the two circle again. Bate wrenches an arm, wrangles Dar down but Dar fight sup and spins through to wrench and wrangle Bate in return. Dar CLUBS the arm, digs his knee into Bate’s face and bends the elbow. Bate fights up, Dar wrenches and wrenches and wrenches again.
Bate rolls, rolls back, spins and breaks free to wrench and wristlock back, then he WRINGS Dar out! Bate is right back on Dar but Dar puts him on the ropes. The ref calls the break, Bate ducks the cheap shot kick! We’re under a minute in the first, they tie up and Bate spins to a full nelson then a cravat. Dar endures, rolls but Bate holds on. Bate keeps on the neck wrench, Dar fights up and goes after the grip. He stomps Bate’s foot to get a headlock takeover! Bate fights up at 20 seconds, Dar clinches but they end up on ropes. The ref calls the break and we’re at the 10 second mark. Dar gives a shove and eggs Bate on but Bate waits on Dar. The round ends cleanly.
Bate: 0; Dar: 0
Seven and Sha help Bate and Dar refresh, Sha hypes Dar up and round two begins. Dar and Bate circle, knuckle lock and Bate rolls to spin and get a leg pick. Bate has a standing toehold, Dar endures and rolls but can’t get free. Bate uses the toehold to turn Dar over and hook up both legs in a deathlock. Bate pulls the legs, Dar endures, Bate gets around and Dar slips free. Dar is on the ropes and Sha tells Bate to get back. Bate waits, Dar stands and circles with Bate again. They tie up, Dar rolls and has a top wristlock. He arm-drags Bate down and keeps on the wristlock but Bate fights up. Dar gets a headlock, Bate endures as Dar thrashes around.

Bate: 0; Dar: 0
The ref has the two separate and tensions are high as they back away. Another refresher, some more tips from Sha to Dar, and we begin round three. Dar goes for a leg, Bate blocks but Dar wrenches and WRINGS Bate, but Bate handsprings through! Bate arm-drags Dar, dropkicks him down, and Dar bails out. Bate runs over, Dar slides in.

Bate endures, Seven goes after Pretty Deadly, and the towel flies into the ring!! Sha points it out, the ref misunderstands, and he calls it!!! Dar is the winner?!?
Winner: Noam Dar, by submission (NEW NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion)
Forget an East End screw job, this was a Pretty Deadly Screw Job! They mess with Moustache Mountain and cost Bate the cup! Fans boo as Dar celebrates a tainted victory, but will that matter to the Scottish Supernova? As for Pretty Deadly, will this cost them the tag titles when Moustache Mountain come for revenge?
My Thoughts:
A really good episode, lots of good set-up for the coming weeks. A good promo vignette from Meiko and Jinny, a good bit with Nina and Aleah, and I like that Rampage Brown was ready for FMW to try and slap him. The vignette for Dawn was alright but it was hard to tell what she was saying. I feel like at this point, she’s being built up in the backroom to take on the champion and maybe even take the title at some point. I figured Sid would announce the tag team contender’s match, and that will be a really good match. Given how things went at the end of the main event, it might not even be Pretty Deadly they’re facing. Well, probably them.
Coffey VS Raja was a good match but I’m not sure the fans were that into it. Coffey winning but Teoman and Raja being sore losers makes sense, they’re definitely going to get Joe Coffey involved and then we will see who joins Teoman’s “Family.” Amale VS Grace was a good showing for both, but Davenport watching partway through was rather interesting. Is she stalking her next target? Davenport as a Tweener, facing everyone on the roster, would be pretty good. Needs to happen a bit more in WWE, honestly. Dempsey really is good at taking moves we’ve seen and turning them into something new, and that is pretty impressive. His interactions with Gallus make me still feel he might end up joining Teoman’s family but I still feel like that shouldn’t really be his story.
The Heritage Cup match was great stuff, and they went to six rounds in a very high energy, high drama way. Those two middle rounds were fast, we were kept kinda guessing going into the last round, and I did not expect Pretty Deadly getting involved in their own way. The accidental throwing of the towel was fairly clever, and Bate loses the cup without losing power level. I feel like Moustache Mountain will definitely want after Pretty Deadly and the tag titles for revenge, that match can happen before the new contenders get their shot to add some intrigue to the scene. As for Dar, the door’s wide open now for him to face whoever for the cup and really add to its young legacy.
My Score: 8.5/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.8.2025
We get to see Alicia Fox in action and a dog collar match! Definitely an odd combination, so let’s see what happens!

As I feel like I say every week, the best parts of TNA are on NXT. I really can’t tolerate Dreamer and Delirious’ idea of creative. This shows have been slapdash early 00s MTV humor and nonsense angles. We open the show with Trick Williams, so of course you know he’s gonna be a dick and Hendry’s gonna try and get even.
At least this spawned an interesting concept with the TNA Heavyweight Championship being defended on NXT Battleground. So it’s nice that Hendry and TNA are getting exposure, but honestly it’s only Hendry, and the constant milking on the TNA side of “hearing from Hendry” is making me ill.
I feel like I’ve seen Johnny Gobs all over since Nekrogoblikon came out with new music. Not mad at it, just didn’t have that on my Bingo card.
.@Santana_Proud and @_trickwilliams just crossed paths—then @AJFrancis410 & @KCwrestles tried recruiting @TheSamiCallihan… and sparked beef with Santana in the process.
Wait… IS THAT @JohnGoblikon!?

Results:
Hey look, Trick comes out and does exactly what I said. He’s arrogant, he’s basically doing his own version of a Ric Flair promo. I do like the line about having two girls, one named Lexis who drives a Mercedes and Mercedes who drives a Lexus. It’s that right balance of dumb and clever to make me chuckle. Hendry of course comes out with his game face on, security tries, fails, and Hendry gets a measure of revenge.
Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck
Okay even though I don’t mind Xia as a wrestler anymore, Brookside is on commentary and she’s…awful. She’s like an Arianna Grace with no charisma. Her little integrity shtick got lame halfway through the word the first time she said it.
This match goes about how you expect which is why it’s not much to discuss. Rosemary does her usually brawling, biting and using the 5 counts with the Upside Down. But as expected, she tries to use the Brass Knucks, Xia comes off of commentary to stop her from using the weapon, and Lei catches her with Thunderstruck. I guess this was supposed to keep the Xia angle with some heat, but it’s really dumb. I don’t want to see any more of this Angel vs Demon, which one will turn crap. It’s boring, it’s cliche and for babies.
At least Lei Ying Lee is gorgeous and one hell of a wrestler. Hopefully she gets away from Rosemary and Xia soon.
Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors
Laredo and Octagon take early turns on Jason Hotch, Octagon even pulls off some rope acrobatics like he thinks he’s Rey Fenix. Hands try to take a few shortcuts, but the actions stays quick, the Cali crowd is behind the Luchadors. Stereo Tijeras, Five Hole Dive from Laredo into an Asai Moonsault from Octagon. Laredo Driver into Handstand Arabian Moonsault, and Aztec Warriors win handily.
After the fact Ali attacks the Aztec Warriors, Tasha and the Hands are trying to calm down Ali but then the Rascalz run out. Maybe we’re getting an early start to the Trey vs Ali match.
Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands
Hopefully this is something worth actually typing about instead of WCW Thunder level of rushed throwaway trash.
They trade early chops, but Ali is pissed, no sells Trey and rocks him with a Forearm. Trey tries to Baseball Slide through the legs and roll into a Sunset Flip, but Ali rolls through, comes up with Trey and Powerbombs him moving immediately into Ground and Pound. Ali goes for a Reverse Powerslam, but Trey escapes it, tries to use his quickness, trips up Ali for a second as he goes to the apron and then he catches Trey in the ropes and hits the Draping DDT off the apron. Outside In Neckbreaker from Ali into a Standing Tornillo.
Ali throws Trey into the ropes, Trey tries something but Ali catches him, flips him vertical and then Dragon Suplex looks nasty. Ali heads back to the apron, wants the Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker, but Trey catches him with a Cutter! Trey puts a little Shake Rattle and Roll together, Ali tries to block the last one so Trey hits the ropes and lands a Lionsault. Ali powders and eats a Dive, Trey throws him back in, Meteora! 1-2-kick out! Trey gets a little frustrated but tries a front facelock, they trade cradles, Ali throws him to the ropes, Trey tries that Rewind Tiger Feint, but Ali hits a Missile Dropkick. Ali tells the Hands to finish things but Wentz comes out flying. Ali drives Wentz into the post, throws Trey back in and mouths off to Wentz. When he turns he eats Trey’s Knee Slide Tornado DDT.
Tasha distracts the ref, Hands attack Trey with a Double Choke Bomb on the Apron and Ali kills Trey with Crucifix Blade Runner.
Hardys come out to talk, they get a solid pop from the crowd, but nothing interesting gets said. The old “we let you down” promo and they’re trying to get across a fandom nickname of “Diehardyz” and that’s corny. They punctuate their part before the Nemeths of course come out with some Obsolete and Delete references. Ryan starts talking and gets booed loudly, so that’s nice, they both play in it well. Ryan makes some goofy faces, Nic and him poke fun at the Hardys and the fact that Jeff can’t come to Canada because he’s prohibidabido.
So Santino comes out, says next week Jeff and Nic will have a singles match, so Matt will get a tag match against the Nemeths with a partner of his choosing. Kind of a stock standard promo, but the Nemeths and Santino made it fun.
Huh, coming back from commercial there’s a video package from WWE showing the last time Jeff Hardy and Nic Nemeth had a match. 16 years ago.
Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks
Brittnie is Chris Bey’s girlfriend and Alicia was always one of my favorites.
Victoria clocks Brittnie early, but Brittnie fires back, Victoria gets annoyed, hits her beautiful Northern Lights Suplex Hold for only a two. Victoria drives Brittnie into the corner, Brittinie tries to fight out, but Victoria catches her with a Tumbling Headscissors Take Over and then a Flying Axe Kick. Victoria’s gorgeous self wins, and Victoria looked pretty decent in the squash.
Masha comes out, attacks Victoria, so Tessa makes a save. Santino makes a tag match next week Blanshard and Crawfish vs Slamabitch and a partner of her choosing. Robert Stone overrides Santino and picks her partner for her and chooses Nikkita Lyons.
Tessa Blanchard is GOING OFF on @AriannaGraceWWE! @milanmiracle @MrStoneWWE

Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury
EY sandbags in the corner at the bell and then catches Maclin with an opportune yank of the chain and then starts a little dirty boxing and chain choking. Cardona is out on commentary because there’s a number 1 contender match next week for the International title. EY grinds the chain across Maclin’s face and the bridge of his nose, and he’s bleeding 40 seconds into the match.
Maclin powders but since it’s a dog collar match the jabronis get involved immediately. Maclin is bleeding like his last name is Rhodes, the jabronis get in some pot shots and EY just whips him with the chain, uses the post, just goes for classic deliberately paced hardcore brawl tactics. Maclin does manage to get a small flurry, EY does the Flair Corner Flop, then EY and the jabronis eat a SCUD before we go to commercial.
We come back, Maclin is back to getting murdered, and now all the potential number 1 contenders and either on commentary, the ramp or in the back watching a monitor. Even Mance Warner looks a little concerned and horny at the same time with the blood. Maclin is so bloody he looks like a post explosion scene from The Boys. Maclin fires, whips EY in the ropes, grabs him mid run, Headbutts him a few times, Jumping Thesz Press into the Ground and Pound with some chain whips. Jabronis come in and eat a Busakiu and Backbreaker, EY tries to take advantage but EY eats an Olympic Slam. Another Busaiku for EY, Jar Headbutt connects! EY kicks out at two, then powders but Maclin follows and wraps the chain around his neck and starts throwing EY around by the throat. Dorks fly at Maclin, he deflects them, but EY yanks the chain and Maclin falls off the apron. EY throws him back in, another two count. EY heads to the top, Maclin crotches him, bald Jabroni eats a Powerbomb, hair Jabroni heads a Buckle Bomb. EY slips the Tree, so Maclin puts the jabronis in the corner, Stacked Tag Em and Bag Em, Nerds get Caught in the Crosshairs!
EY sees the chance, kick to the gut, Piledriver! 1-2…KICK OUT! EY calls for the Macho Elbow but Maclin gets up, pulls him off the top with the chain and KIA! Maclin retains!
Overall Score: 4/10
A generally disappointing episode. The first hour felt like WCW Thunder written by Meth addicted Racoons. But the second hour starting with Mustafa, turned out to be okay. I’ve always enjoyed Alicia Fox aesthetically and she wasn’t bad in the ring, Mustafa being edgy is cool, Ryan Nemeth is a treasure, Tessa is still great and the dog collar match was decent.
So a mixed bag definitely. Rosemary is honestly useless anymore. She only gets a pop because of the gimmick, but her storylines have sucked, her matches aren’t great and this whole Infantile Sting knockoff of trying to stick to her morals and integrity and not do the mean things. Aztec Warriors are basic lucha stuff with no gimmick beyond the fact they’re luchadors. Lastly, the Trick Flair opening segment was okay at best but really just just paint by numbers.
It’s a sad turn of events when my favorite wrestling program anymore is WWE main roster stuff. Yikes…2025 is weird.

Toni Storm is here!
Or rather, she’s still here given just last night, the TIMELESS AEW Women’s World Champion won a Fatal 4 Way Eliminator. And now she’s in the special box seat “balcony” with mic in hand. Detroit cheers and she blows kisses before saying, “So many men have taken a shot at me in here, I’m feeling like Abraham Lincoln. I will never forget my first. It was messy, it was sweaty, and painful. But I only wanted more. Once a month, once a week, twice a week, I was hooked. But then, it only became more risky. One at a time, then two at a time. And three at a time! Incorporating random objects, all the while being watched by perverts.”
The fans cheer being perverts but then Toni says, “One day, it will not end well for me. It will break my body and soil my soul. But in the end, I know it’s what I was born to do. And if you think I was referring to sexual intercourse, then get your minds out of the gutter!” Toni takes a moment before she continues, “Because the best bang could not compare to fighting for this!” She holds up the title and the fans cheer more! “I am not waiting for a Hayter or a CEO. So next week, line up the next batch of slop tarts, because baby wants to binge!” The fans also like the sound of that! Toni says spit on it and sit on it, and let’s get TIMELESS~!
The fans applaud and Toni takes a bow. Beach Break just got that much bigger, but who will take their shot at The Tramp that is The Champ?
Backstage interview with Paragon.
Lexy Nair is with Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly to ask them about the 2 Out of 3 Falls last Saturday. Roddy says that to say they’re disappointed is an understatement. He and Kyle are one of the best teams on this planet, and they thought it’d be like riding a bike. But it has been a bit more difficult than they thought. Kyle agrees that they’re frustrated and disappointed, but what they aren’t doing is taking anything away from themselves. They’re the Paragon and they’re still one of the best tag teams out there. And any other day, any other time, 99 out of 100, Kyle & Roddy win that match.
Cole agrees, and he knows that was tough last week. But they are one of the best teams in the world. There will be plenty of chances to prove that this year. But in step the Grizzled Young Veterans and Zack Gibson says say that again. He can’t believe Paragon has the nerve to stand here sulking and complaining. Honestly, this three are three of the best ever. The problem is, they’ve gone soft! They’ve forgotten what it is to fight for their sport. So any time they’re ready, GYV will remind them what that’s like. Kyle & Roddy say why not. GYV will be the first time that gets stomped on Paragon’s way back to the top!
GYV laugh that off then take their leave. But when and where will Liverpool’s Number One & Mr. Mayhem take on the Savior of the Backbreaker & the Violent Artist?
Ricochet VS Angelico w/ Serpentico!
The One & Only just got a big win last night alongside the Young Bucks, but now he looks to get a win on his own. Will Ricochet make Detroit #OuttaThisWorld two nights in a row? Or will tonight belong to Spanish Announce Project’s South African Stud?
The bell rings and the fans rally as Angelico and Ricochet circle. They feel things out, circle more, then Angelico leaves Ricochet hanging by smoothing his hair.

Ricochet gets up on the barrier to soak up more heat, and he even flicks sweat off his bald head! Ricochet puts Angelico in the ring, stalks him to ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Ricochet backs off, and Serpentico coaches Angelico. Angelico sputters but Ricochet brings him up for a snapmare. Ricochet digs his knee into Angelico’s back as part of the chinlock. Angelico endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Angelico is free, runs the ropes, but Ricochet DROPKICKS him down! Ricochet taunts the fans, covers Angelico, TWO! Angelico is tougher than that but Ricochet covers again, ONE! And again, ONE! And again, ONE!!
Ricochet throws a fit and SLAPS Angelico down before arguing with the ref. The ref defends the count, so Ricochet just stomps away on Angelico’s back! Ricochet taunts the fans, goes back to stomp Angelico and kick him around, then he kicks Angelico to the ropes. Angelico rises to BODY BLOW! And JAB! Ricochet staggers back, Angelico fires more shots! Angelico runs, KICKS the backdrop away, then runs again, only for Ricochet to FLAPJACK him off ropes and JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!

Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
Ricochet made sure Angelico was done before he got the 1-2-3, and now he gets the mic. “Go ahead. C’mon, I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!” The fans boo and taunt him more and Ricochet says he welcomes it all! Their boos mean NOTHING to him, because he sees what they cheer for. And c’mon, if you cheer for the Detroit Lions, that means you’re dumb as hell. If you were smart, if you had any amount of common sense, you’d be cheering for him! The fans keep taunting him with “They’re Not Bald!” But Ricochet says the Eagles won the Super Bowl, what’re they talking about? They should be cheering him, because he’s been here less than a year and he’s beaten most of the favorites!
Brody King, Will Ospreay, Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, Mark Briscoe, Swerve Strickland, and even Kenny Omega! All of them are AEW legends, and Ricochet beat them all! But wait, speaking of legends… Ricochet points out the living legend, Zach Gowen! Ricochet remembers growing up, watching wrestling, he was a huge fan of Zach Gowen. Huge fan. He remembers when big Brock would beat him up and down the arena, that was awesome. But the thing is, Daddy Gowen used to be on this side of the barriers, but now he’s on the other side of them. What happened, Zach? Doesn’t have a leg in the fight anymore?
Ricochet laughs at his own offensive joke, and then asks where that fire is now. He pushes Zach around, security rushes in and Ricochet says he wasn’t doing anything! They’re just talking! Then he BOPS each and every guard! They like that? Ricochet THROWS one guy into railing! Ricochet does his own commentary as he sends another one into the steel steps!

He takes Zach’s prosthetic leg away! The fans boo as loud as they can as Ricochet leaves with the leg! Ricochet isn’t just humiliating Zach Gowen, he’s committing a crime! Ricochet holds the leg up as a trophy, then mockingly limps with it. Will anyone ever humble the ego that is #OuttaThisWorld?
8 Man Tag: The Don Callis Family VS The Outrunners, Bandido & AR Fox!
Don Callis himself dared Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd to find a friend so they could settle things with Roppongi Vice and the Family, but the Outrunners did better than that! They found TWO friends! Will the Most Wanted ROH World Champion and the Whole Fox’n Show help the Youngest Men Alive humble Callis’ cronies? Or will Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher use them to take out all of their frustrations?
Callis of course joins commentary while the teams sort out. Callis calls tonight “Don Callis Championship Wrestling,” and says Detroit boos him and his Family because it is a city of losers.

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!
After the assault and humiliation that we saw earlier tonight, Zach Gowen is going to make his return to wrestling! Will Zach get revenge on Ricochet for taking things too far?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“So, we’re through the obligatory preamble, casualties on both sides. Last night, you took out my number one lieutenant. Now I could vow revenge and talk about all the things I’m gonna do to Samoa Joe once I get him inside that steel cage. But that would be rather rote, and probably mostly untrue. What do we know? The consensus is Samoa Joe is gonna kick my ass. And yeah, there’s nobody on the planet better at getting their ass kicked than me. The question isn’t whether Joe will beat me up. The question is, how long can he do it? Five, eight minutes? Ten? 20? 25? I’ve got all night.
“I know you don’t think very much of me, Joe, but you are one of the guys that I have genuine respect for. You are the embodiment of a champion. But you’re not the AEW World Champion, I am. And I know that no matter what happens to me inside that steel cage in Chicago, no matter what Hell is put on me, no matter what I am put through in that steel cage, I know I have been through worse. I have been through the kind of Hell, I have weathered the kind of storms, I have faced down the kinds of demons that would keep these kids up at night. So I don’t need to be feared or respected by you or anybody else. I just need you to show up.
“I don’t get along with the rest of the world because I am not like the rest of the world. And believe it or not, next week, there is nowhere else in the world I would rather be than locked inside a steel cage in Chicago with the AEW World Championship hanging in the balance, with the baddest man in pro-wrestling, Samoa Joe. I didn’t build my foundation on sand. When the storm comes through, the only thing that matters is who is the last man standing.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will he ultimately be the baddest man in AEW?
Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn VS Lee Johnson w/ Blake Christian!
The Pride of Pro-Wrestling is ready to prove he’s worthy of all the opportunities before him, but that means having others step to the plate. #BigShotty thinks he can get a hit off the 5 Tool Player, but will he be able to go yard? Or will he just get Molly Whopped and sent back to the dugout?
The bell rings and the fans rally behind Bowens. Bowens and Lee tie up, Bowens wrenches and wristlocks, but Lee wrenches back. Bowens slips through, wrenches and hammerlocks, then he spins and snapmares Lee to an Oklahoma Roll! TWO, and Bowens tries a cradle, TWO! Lee is up to headlock back, but Bowens powers up and out.

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

Billy wants after Blake but the ref keeps him back. Bowens ELBOWS Lee away, but Blake swipes at him! Lee then DUMPS Bowens out! Bowens staggers up, Lee FLIES, and he gets just enough of Bowens to take him down! Then Lee and Blake mock the scissor fingers! The fans boo but Lee puts Bowens in the ring. Lee reels Bowens in, suplexes, but Bowens slips free! Bowens shoves Lee away, runs up, and he blocks the boot! But not the ENZIGIRI!
Lee SUPERKICKS Bowens, runs, but into the Rock, Paper, Scissors, SUPERKICK! The fans fire up and Bowens shows them how it’s done! He puts up the scissors, then shouts for his shot! But Blake gets on the apron! Bowens grabs Blake, Lee rolls Bowens up with tights, TWO!! MOLLY WHOP!! Cover, Bowens wins!
Winner: Anthony Bowens, by pinfall
Blake tried to tip the scales, but then he also storms into the ring! Billy gets in Blake’s way and Blake backs up. Blake “apologizes,” but then he takes a swing! Billy stops that and TOSSES Blake out! Billy says “SUCK IT!” Bowens grabs a mic to tell Detroit, “What you just saw was the Pride of Professional Wrestling! The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. And I am in a really good mood, so y’know what? Billy, throw ’em up! Detroit, throw ’em up! And make some noise!” And they SCISSOR FINGER~! For old time’s sake, Bowens embraces the old gimmick. But will nothing stop Bowens from making himself a contender?
The Gates of Agony are here!
Detroit cheers as Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona walk out to the ring, but they grab mics so they can talk. Kaun calls out Bryan Keith & Big Bill. “You think you’re gonna walk through these Gates unscathed, unburned, and redeem yourselves in the eyes of Chris Jericho?” The fans boo and Kaun says, “Hell no, Paradise has to be earned. And these Gates right here? They’re gonna stop you in your tracks.” Liona says, “And this time, we’re not doing it in a parking lot! Y’know why? Because we’re in Detroit! Why not do this right here, right now!?” The fans cheer and Liona tells Big Bill & Bryan Keith, you heard the people! Get out here and fight!
The shirts come off, and here come the Redwood & Bad Apple! They go right to the ring and the brawl is on! The fans fire up as Bill has Kaun and Keith has Liona! Bill hammers away on Kaun in a corner, Liona ROCKS Keith, but Keith roars! Keith runs, only for Liona to LARIAT him down! Bill BOOTS Liona down!

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

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

My Thoughts:
A great Collision, but it apparently caught a bit of the Go Home Syndrome. There were quite a few recap packages I skipped but clearly they are working to hype Beach Break for next. Moxley’s newest promo was alright, didn’t really add much, because as I said just last night, Moxley surely finds a way to retain with help from The Death Riders. I will say, it made a lot of sense for the remaining Death Riders to cost Willow. Marina and Willow still have beef, and I’m still hoping on my idea from last night: Shayna Baszler shows up, teams with Marina, we get Shayna & Marina VS Willow & Kris. Let’s up the ante and get another classic Street Fight Tag out of Kris & Willow.
Great promo from Toni Storm to open the night, and good to hear Skye Blue is back. Another Fatal 4 Way Eliminator makes me wonder if one of the mystery entrants ends up taking the loss. There was also that spider during Kris VS Willow, which I believe is a teaser for Thekla. Thekla could easily jump into the Fatal 4 Way and get close to winning, but who knows. And as I said last night, not sure why they’re holding Athena back from doing much of anything right now. With Supercard of Honor now delayed to July to coincide with All In: Texas, Athena should really be getting involved more on AEW TV so people don’t forget she exists.
Very good stuff with Bowens VS Lee, and I appreciate the albeit lazy way they changed Bowen’s logo so that it doesn’t resemble the Shane Taylor Promotions’ STP. Bowens of course wins, but his promo after was pretty much the same as his other ones. At least he did one last scissoring with Billy. Bowens is unfortunately not going to get a title story right now with all the champions preoccupied in something else. Though honestly, I feel like there is a way for Okada VS Bowens to be a great match, and then someone violates the Continental Rules so that Okada loses without really losing. Best way I can think of is Swerve is hunting The Bucks, they go ringside, and since Bucks are associate with Okada, that’s a violation on his part, and it adds more heat to whatever big thing Double or Nothing has planned.
Great stuff from the Don Callis Family in all their matches. I wasn’t expecting a big 8 Man Tag, and I’m a little disappointed Brody King wasn’t one of the participants, but maybe that’s the next phase. Great showing from the Faces, especially AR Fox. Fox is in a similar boat to Bowens where he certainly deserves title opportunities but TK just isn’t seeing how to write it. But between that and the dominance Konosuke & Alexander over Dark Order, it feels like the Don Callis Family get their comeuppance with Hangman & Ospreay winning next week.
Ricochet VS Angelico was rather outta nowhere but it was still a great match. It was also clearly a vehicle so Ricochet could start beef with Zach (Zack?) Gowen and give us a Beach Break match between them for the real deepcut long time wrestling fans. Much like Bowens and Fox, I feel like Ricochet is waiting on a title to be freed up from story so he can go get those titles. Such as Paragon now feuding with Grizzled Young Veterans for a minute, which in a way keeps Adam Cole isolated. TK should’ve just given us Ricochet VS Cole for the fun of it because Ricochet VS Cole would be incredibly fun stuff. They could even revisit their NXT history if they wanted to.
Great stuff with Gates of Agony and Learning Tree, that was much better than last week’s. I really hope this gives us a Tornado Tag match. For that matter, why aren’t we getting that in the story of Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford? Good promo from those teams to hype up… just Anna VS Megan… It’d make Beach Break Collision feel all the bigger but whatever, maybe they feel Ford still isn’t up to speed after that Fatal 4 Way last night. But doing a chaotic tag match could help iron out some of that so that Ford can just focus on what she is good at with the gymnastics and throwing hands.
And awesome stuff with Garcia VS “Dax the Axe” in the main event. And yeah, I didn’t put it in myself, but they’re really committing to that as Dax’s ring name right now. Great to see Menard helping Garcia, and even Nigel standing up for himself against Dax. A “No Contest” result was a little odd but I suppose that’s like saying it is a draw where no one goes over. But with the Faces standing tall, maybe Nigel steps in and teams with Garcia right now for Double or Nothing so that Garcia teaming with Cope is the All In moment.
