PLAY BY PLAY

Jinny w/ Joseph Conners VS Emilia McKenzie!

The Spoiled Princess riled up Meiko Satomura’s protégé and will now be putting her money where her mouth is! Will #SuplexMillie prove Jinny is NOT worthy of a match with the Final Boss?

The bell rings and the two tie right up. They go around, Millie waistlocks but Jinny wrenches and YANKS the arm. Jinny wristlocks, Millie slips through to wrench and wristlock back. Jinny throws a forearm but Millie wrangles her to the mat. Millie grinds the shoulder, wrenches again and YANKS back. Jinny stands, spins and slips through to wrench back then backs Millie up to WRING her out! Cover, ONE, but Jinny stays after Millie with a facelock. Millie rolls through to facelock and lateral press, TWO! Millie still has the facelock but Jinny throws body shots. Jinny stands, wrenches out and wristlocks again, but Millie spins and wrenches back.

BT Sports Studio rallies up as Jinny rolls and spins to wrench and drop toehold! Jinny ties up the legs, throws some elbows into Millie’s back, then pulls back on the deathlock. Jinny also pulls hair, the ref reprimands and counts, Jinny stops at 4. Conners says Jinny knows the rules, but Millie scrambles. Jinny pulls hair to keep Millie from the ropebreak to get a headlock. Jinny hits a takeover, Millie fights up to her feet and she throws body shots. Millie powers out, arm-drags Jinny around then dropkicks her down! Millie hurries to get Jinny up, TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Cover, TWO! Conners is relieved but Millie stalks Jinny.

Millie waistlocks, deadlifts, but Jinny fights back with elbows. Jinny crawls, Millie holds on but Jinny again fights with elbows. Jinny gets to ropes and uses them to HOTSHOT Millie away! Jinny whips Millie to a corner hard, then hurries in to stomp a mudhole into her! Conners says school is in session, but Millie hits back with haymakers to Jinny’s legs. Jinny gets an arm to WRING her out again! Jinny stands on the arm to SNAP it back! Millie writhes and holds the arm but Jinny drags her back up. Jinny wrenches, hooks Millie up and throws clubbing elbows into the IRON OCTOPUS! Millie endures and BT Sports Studio rallies for her! But Jinny shifts to a sunset flip, TWO!

Millie storms in but into a takedown! Jinny has the leg, kicks away at it, but Millie kicks back! Jinny turns Millie over and has a deep HALF CRAB! Millie crawls, Conners taunts her, but Jinny stomps Millie down before the ropebreak! Jinny tries the Half Crab again but Millie gets the ropebreak! Jinny lets off, stomps Millie in the corner, then gets the leg again. Millie boots Jinny away but Jinny throws a forearm! Millie forearms back but Jinny knees low! But Millie breaks the waistlock to CUTTER! The Viper would be impressed by that one! Millie fires up, drags Jinny up and hits a BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Jinny is still in this but Millie aims. Conners swipes at her but she runs him off!

Here comes MEIKO SATOMURA! The Final Boss ROUNDHOUSE the Righteous Knight! Jinny runs at Millie but into a GERMAN SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!! Jinny survives but Meiko coaches Millie up. Millie gets Jinny up but Jinny SLAPS her! S Millie SLAPS back! Underhooks for the JAY DRILLER!! Cover, TWO!?! Millie is furious that Jinny survives but Jinny flounders to a corner. Millie runs in but only gets POST! Jinny comes back to ROCK Millie with a forearm! Ripcord and ROLLING LIGER KICK! Cover, Jinny wins!

Winner: Jinny, by pinfall

Even with the NXT UK Women’s Champion countering Conners, Millie could not crush Jinny. And Jinny gets a mic to say, “look at her, Meiko. Look at your protégé. Defeated by me. And now, I’ve got your attention. No one or nothing is gonna stand in the way of me and my destiny.” Meiko gets in the ring to stare Jinny down as Jinny says it will be the Final Boss VS The Fashionista for the NXT UK Women’s Championship. Meiko simply holds up the belt. Challenge accepted, but will the Best in the World prove exactly why she is that again?

NXT UK Media spots Blair Davenport walking in.

They ask her what she’s doing here while still on suspension. Well she’s banned from competing, not from having meetings. She barges into Sid Scala’s office and sarcastically says, “Good to see you.” When is she coming back? Sid tells her that she will be reinstated next week. But not as a reward for what she did. This is at the request at her opponent, Stevie Turner. And to make one thing perfectly clear: anymore behavior of that nature will NOT be tolerated. Blair says, “Alright. I’ll play by your rules. But let me make one thing perfectly clear. I always get what I want.” What does she mean by that? Will Stevie Turner find that out firsthand next week?

NXT UK hears from A-Kid.

“Styles make fights. And Ilja Dragunov’s not going to be able to handle my style.” Dragunov is powerful, but precision beats power, and timing beats speed. Ilja, A-Kid does respect you. But you’ve never been a champion like he has. AK knows what that pressure is like. He knows that he needs the NXT UK Championship to begin his legacy. AK vows to win and give Dragunov no option but to tap. Will the Moscow Madman make El Nino Anonimo eat those words?

Sam Gradwell VS Mark Andrews!

The Thunderstorm did as he’s always done: talk a lot of smack, and push everyone’s buttons. But he pushed the High-Fiving, Stage-Diving, Skateboarding, Rock ‘n’ Rolling member of Subculture too far when he broke one of Andrews’ skateboards. Will Andrews break something of Gradwell’s? Or will his anger leave him open to Gradwell rattling his jowls and wobbling his kidneys?

Gradwell barks that he’s a fighter, not like Andrews, as he gets to the ring. The bell rings and the two stare down. They tie up, Gradwell wrenches an arm and hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Then he grinds the arm and taunts Andrews as he steps over to then wrangle him down. Andrews endures the wristlock, gets to his feet and rolls to then handspring and break free! Dropkick and arm-drag, now Andrews has Gradwell down! Andrews gives back the smack talk, Gradwell gets up and puts him on ropes. The ref counts, Gradwell lets off but Andrews ducks the cheap shot to SLAP Gradwell! Gradwell gets mad and chases Andrews, but runs into Andrews’ tiger feint!

Andrews steps in to tilt-o-whirl headscissor! Gradwell gets up, but Andrews slides under to PELE! Gradwell bails out but Andrews builds speed! Gradwell moves, Andrews bails out of the tope to tumble and CHOP Gradwell! Then ROCK him with a forearm! Gradwell shoves Andrews away but Andrews comes back, to leap into his arms! Gradwell pops Andrews around to SLAM Andrews down! Gradwell puts Andrews in the ring at 8 of 10, CLUBS him then covers, TWO! BT Sports Studio rallies as Gradwell mocks the skater boy. But Andrews CHOPS back! Gradwell CLUBS Andrews on the back again, then brings him around to snapmare and KNEE him in the back.

Gradwell pulls Andrews’ hair, lets off to CLUB him in the back again, and cover. TWO, and Gradwell keeps Andrews down with knuckles in Andrews’ ear. Gradwell digs knuckles into ribs, then rains down fists. The ref reprimands the hair pulling so Gradwell lets off. Andrews CHOPS back and ROCKS Gradwell with forearms! Andrews whips, Gradwell reverses but Andrews goes up, only to get caught! Andrews holds ropes, Gradwell gets him to let go, but Andrews CLUBS away, so Gradwell dumps him out! Andrews lands on the apron, shoulders back in, then ROCKS Gradwell with another right! Andrews goes up, Gradwell YANKS him down to the mat!

Gradwell brings Andrews around, BIG butterfly suplex! Cover, TWO! Andrews is still in his but Gradwell is still on him with a chinlock. Gradwell grinds but BT Sports Studio rallies up. Andrews endures as Gradwell keeps him on the mat. Andrews pushes back with forearms then fights up to his feet. Andrews throws body shots, but Gradwell pulls the ear! The ref reprimands, Gradwell talks trash but Andrews CHOPS away! Gradwell shoves Andrews away but runs into a BOOT! Andrews goes up, Gradwell gets him again, but Andrews turns the yank into a FLYING DDT! Both men are down and BT Sports Studio fires up!

The ref starts a standing count but Andrews drags himself along the ropes. The count is past 5, but Andrews stands at 8! He runs in and ROCKS Gradwell with forearm sand CHOPS! Gradwell ROCKS Andrews back but Andrews LARIATS! Gradwell stays up and eggs Andrews on, so Andrews throws more LARIATS! Andrews then ducks and dodges Gradwell to wheelbarrow BULLDOG! Andrews keeps moving and he CLOBBERS Gradwell with a clothesline! BT Sports Studio fires up as Andrews kips up! Andrews fires up to mule kick, then DOUBLE STOMP to the back! Just like a skateboard! Cover, TWO!! Gradwell grits his teeth but Andrews is right after him.

Andrews sits Gradwell up but Gradwell anchors him from running. Gradwell ROCKS Andrews with a forearm, then hits a ROLLING ELBOW! Cover, TWO!! Gradwell shakes his head, clamps onto Andrews with another chinlock and he grinds Andrews down. BT Sports Studio rallies up, Andrews rolls this to a cover, TWO! Andrews is free and he ROCKS Gradwell, CHOPS him, then ROCKS him again! Gradwell shoves again, boots and spins, but Andrews slides under to PELE, into a fireman’s carry! Gradwell roars as he USHI- STUN-DOG MILLIONAIRE?! But Gradwell flops out of the ring! Andrews readjusts, feints the Plancha to mule kick! And ARIHARA MOONSAULT!!

Both men are down at the ramp but BT Sports Studio fires up! Andrews gets Gradwell up and in at 6 of 10 then hurries to the apron. Gradwell grabs the ear again! The ref reprimands, Andrews breaks free to GAMANGIRI! Andrews adjusts, springboards, but into a fireman’s carry! Andrews fights against it, but Gradwell still hits an LANDSLIDE! Cover, Gradwell wins!

Winner: Sam Gradwell, by pinfall

Whether or not the Thunderstorm is the better man for ridiculing Andrews’ hobbies, he is the better wrestler this night. “He was a skater boy, I said, ‘Get on that, ya yogurt!'” Will Gradwell keep talking trash all the way to a title opportunity?

Flash Morgan Webster finds Sha Samuels backstage.

The East End Butcher asks the “mug” what he wants, and The Modfather says that if Sha loves games so much, he has one for him. SLAP! “Tag! You’re it!” FMW runs but Sha gives chase! Will Sha get back at Flash for that bit of cheek? Or will he focus on helping his pal, Noam Dar, through tonight’s tournament finals?

Ilja Dragunov responds to A-Kid.

“I respect you, A-Kid. I really do, and that’s the reason why I prepared myself so hard for this.” A-Kid’s path wasn’t easy, competing against some of the very toughest. But please don’t be naïve. Dragunov isn’t here to compete. He is NXT UK Champion because he fought for his life! And he’ll do it again and again and again. “Bring more than just you’re best, because that’s how I became The Czar.” Will A-Kid learn what it takes to be THE champion in NXT UK?

NXT UK Heritage Cup Tournament Finals: Noam Dar w/ Sha Samuels VS Wolfgang w/ Gallus!

The Scottish Supernova managed some rather sneaky ways of getting through his opponents, Oliver Carter and Kenny Williams, while the Last King of Scotland simply bulldozed his way to this point. Will Dar prove he can turn heritage and prestige up to 11? Or will Wolfgang be howling all the way to a battle with the Big Strong Boy?

The bell rings and round one begins! Dar and Wolfgang circle, and Sha is already telling Dar to use his speed. Wolfgang and Dar feel things out, and Dar gives a testing kick. Wolfgang doesn’t flinch, they keep going around, and Dar tries another kick. Dar plays around but Wolfgang starts to corner him so Dar uses ropes as a defense. Wolfgang backs off, Dar comes back and they circle. They tie up, go around and Wolfgang puts Dar on ropes. Dar calls for the ropebreak and so does the ref, and Wolfgang wants Dar to let off first. The two let go of the collar ‘n’ elbow but Dar shoves Wolfgang. Wolfgang keeps cool and dares Dar to bring it first.

They go again, circling and feeling it out. Dar wants a leg, Wolfgang’s too big for a takedown like that so Dar gets a waistlock then headlock. Wolfgang powers out but Dar kicks him! Wolfgang rushes in, Dar dodges, but Wolfgang anticipates the table top and waistlocks for a deadlift! Dar fights the suplex with a headlock, but Wolfgang powers up, only for Dar to hold on tight! Dar grinds Wolfgang down to the mat, Sha coaches him up, but Wolfgang fights up to throw body shots! Dar facelocks but Wolfgang powers up to put Dar on the top rope! We’re at a minute left and Dar holds onto the facelock. The ref counts the ropebreak but Dar wrenches a knuckle lock! Wolfgang SLAPS free!

Wolfgang backs off, Dar mocks the howling and then hops down to the apron. Dar gets in and we’re at 30 seconds now. Dar goes for an arm, Wolfgang counters with a chinbar but Dar wrenches the arm to a wristlock. ELBOW BREAKER! Ten seconds and Wolfgang throws body shots! Wolfgang whips, Dar goes up and under but gets caught! Wolfgang lifts and Dar’s ready to punch, but the bell ends the round! No bomb and no elbows here! Wolfgang reluctantly lets Dar down and backs away to his corner.

Dar: 0; Wolfgang: 0

Sha has Dar refresh while Mark Coffey helps Wolfgang. Both men are ready and round two begins. Dar and Wolfgang circle, Wolfgang blocks a haymaker to ROCK Dar! Wolfgang puts Dar in a corner for a EuroUpper then a whip corner to corner. Dar goes up, fakes Wolfgang out and SHOTGUN dropkicks him down! Cover, ONE!! Dar drags Wolfgang up to a facelock but Wolfgang RAMS him into a corner! And throws heavy body shots! Dar can’t get away, Wolfgang throws more hands! Wolfgang then RAMS Dar corner to corner, and SPLASHES in! Wolfgang goes up as Dar staggers, FLYING AX HANDLE! Sha shouts at Wolfgang but Mark shouts at Sha!

The ref tells the cornermen to back off, but JORDAN DEVLIN attacks Joe Coffey! The Irish Ace wants revenge on the Iron King for last week’s Gallus Boy screw job! Referees rush out to get Devlin away but Joe Coffey pursues! Mark tries to help his brother, Wolfgang is distracted and Dar CLUBS him from behind! Roll up, with tights! Dar gets the fall!

Dar: 1; Wolfgang: 0

The Irish Ace in the hole helps Dar get the important first point! Will this be a sweep for Mr. Supernova 11? Both men go to their corners and Wolfgang shakes it off to start round three.

SPEAR!! Wolfgang clobbers Dar and covers, Wolfgang ties it up!!

Dar: 1; Wolfgang: 1

FIVE SECONDS! The fastest fall in NXT UK’s history! We’re back at square one and Sha is shocked! Will Dar be able to recover as we go into an early fourth?

Dar finally sits up, the round begins, and Wolfgang waits on Dar. Dar stays by the ropes, clutching his ribs, but he still gives kicks. Wolfgang ROCKS Dar with a forearm! Wolfgang keeps on Dar with EuroUppers in the corner, then a whip hard into the other corner! Wolfgang poses over Dar then drags him up to EuroUpper again! Wolfgang brings Dar up but Dar fights. Wolfgang whips, Dar goes up and under so Wolfgang just aims from the corner. Dar bails out before another Spear can come in! Dar catches his breath as the ring count begins but Wolfgang goes out. Mark keeps his eyes on Sha and Sha says he’s staying back. Wolfgang puts Dar in but Dar KICKS him in the ropes!

Dar staggers up, runs, and SLIDING DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Wolfgang goes to a corner while Dar get sup. Dar gets an arm to STOMP it down, then he gets the other arm to wrench it around. We’re under a minute, Dar knees the arm into a wrench but Wolfgang body shots! Then corner SPLASHES again! Wolfgang climbs, Dar trips him up! Dar KICKS Wolfgang while he’s stuck up top, and then KICKS him off the corner! Thirty seconds, Dar wants the count-out! Mark fans Wolfgang, he gets up but Dar BOOTS him back down! Dar goes out and tells the timekeeper to move. Wolfgang puts Dar in, Dar swings around and then suckers Wolfgang into a throat chop!

Wolfgang’s up against the post, but he moves as Dar kicks, so Dar’s foot hits steel post! We’re under 10 here, and Wolfgang runs back in, only to throw himself into barriers as Dar dodges! The round ends with Wolfgang down on the outside!

Dar: 1; Wolfgang: 1

The round bell saves Wolfgang from the count-out, but now both men have to refresh fast for round five! Sha wants Dar to finish the job, and as the round bell rings, Dar runs corner to corner! DROPKICK into a downed Wolfgang! Dar fires off haymakers, then stomps a mudhole in! The ref counts, Dar lets off but Wolfgang shoves him away. Dar talks trash to Mark, runs in and BOOTS Wolfgang in another corner! Dar keeps moving, another BOOT! Wolfgang flounders, Dar aims from the corner. SLIDING CLOTHESLINE! Cover, TWO! Mark shouts to Wolfgang, Sha coaches Dar and BT Sports Studio rallies up.

Wolfgang is in a corner, Dar runs in and leaps, into Wolfgang’s BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Sha is stressing out but Mark keeps cool as Wolfgang gets up. Wolfgang reels Dar in, but Dar wrenches out to KICK the leg! Dar comes back but Wolfgang throws body shots! Dar wrenches the arm, but then catches the left! Wolfgang resists the takedown to scoop as we’re under a minute, and Dar slips through to get CHAMPAGNE SUPER KNEEBAR!! Wolfgang endures, reaches for ropes, but then turns over. Dar stomps Wolfgang down, twists the foot, but Wolfgang fights up! Wolfgang rains down fists and is free at 30 seconds!

Both men are down, BT Sports Studio is fired up, and we’re at 20 seconds as both men slowly stand. Wolfgang grabs Dar, but Dar BACK ELBOWS! Wolfgang blocks the kick but Dar ELBOW JABS him in the forehead! Last 10 seconds, Dar aims from a corner with pinkies out! NOVA ROLL- SPEAR!!! Cover, THE ROUND ENDS FIRST!!!

Dar: 1; Wolfgang: 1

Now Dar was saved by the bell! Sha helps Dar get to the corner to help him wake back up. Mark is fired up for Wolfgang as he is standing at the ready. The ref gets Sha out of the ring and the sixth round begins! Wolfgang waits on Dar, and Dar steps up to LARIAT! Wolfgang stays up! Dar KICKS, bobs ‘n’ weaves, KICKS more and more, but Wolfgang just snarls. Wolfgang grins as he tanks the forearm shots and haymakers! Wolfgang shoves, Dar dodges but kicks into an EXPLODER! Sha is freaking out and shouting at Dar, Wolfgang runs in but Dar dodges! Wolfgang gets caught up in the ropes, Dar sweeps the leg! Dar then hurries to the corner, to DOUBLE STOMP the prone leg!!

Wolfgang writhes, Dar runs, but Wolfgang manages a LARIAT!! Cover, TWO!! Dar survives, Mark coaches Wolfgang and BT Sports Studio is loving “UK! UK!” Wolfgang drags Dar up, Dar rolls him up, TWO! Wolfgang blocks a kick but Dar elbows again! BUZZSAW! Cover, ONE?!?! HOW?!? Sha is telling Dar to keep calm but Mark says Wolfgang should fire up! BT Sports Studio knows “This is Awesome!” NOVA ROLLA!! But Dar doesn’t cover, and Wolfgang sits right back up!? Dar runs in again, NOVA ROLLA!! Cover, DAR WINS!!

Winner: Noam Dar, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the NXT UK Heritage Cup)

Wolfgang survived much more than expected, but Dar had so much more to give! And now, Dar is headed straight for Tyler Bate! And speaking of, here comes the NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion! Sha and Dar dare him to get in the ring now, but Bate is ready to wait. Will Mr. Supernova 11 be able to do it all again against the Big Strong Boy?

My Thoughts:

Another great episode, and with only three matches. Jinny VS Millie was a really good opener, and I am a bit surprised Jinny won. I suppose Meiko does have to defend her title again at some point, I just thought we’d get someone else first. Meiko VS Jinny technically only happened in the #1 contender’s gauntlet so seeing a full match between them is going to be a lot of fun, but I would think Meiko wins. Blair Davenport has a good segment with Sid Scala to make it official that Blair VS Stevie Turner is happening. That is going to be really good, but I would think Blair wins, and she continues her build towards the title.

We got pretty good vignette promos from A-Kid and Ilja Dragunov to hype up next week’s championship match. That is going to be a great match, but Dragunov surely wins as a great way to truly start his reign and return to NXT UK. Dragunov has plenty to do, I really hope he gets to string together a great list of defenses to put himself on par with Bate, Dunne and Walter. Andrews VS Gradwell was a great match, and it was a bit surprising Gradwell wins, but I guess sometimes the bully does win out. I’m sure this can continue between them, but I’m surprised Flash Morgan Webster is starting beef with Sha Samuels. Will Gradwell and Sha team up to face Subculture?

Speaking of Sha, he doesn’t have as big of an impact on Dar VS Wolfgang as he had the previous match-ups, because instead it was Devlin who had an effect on things. I have been talking about Dar, Sha and Devlin teaming up, with Kenny Williams even being a fourth, so this is a great step towards that. They pushed this to six rounds, which is great, and it is even better given how quick the third round went. There need to be more British Rounds matches where a round ends in the blink of an eye, but there also need to be British Round matches that end quickly period. We got a couple great “saved by the bell” finishes to the rounds, though, so it was just fine to push this one to the end. I figured Dar was winning because we still do Face VS Heel here in WWE, and Dar VS Bate is going to be a lot of fun.

My Score: 8.7/10

Ospreay draws a line in the sand and dares Ricochet to step up.

Ricochet steps right up, they stand toe to toe, literally! They start firing forearms! The fans cheer Ospreay, boo Ricochet, and Ricochet wobbles! But then Ricochet comes back with forearm after forearm! Ospreay wobbles, but he grins as he rises and roars! Ospreay fires a flurry on Ricochet, then ROCKS him! Ricochet flops over, Ospreay hauls him up! But Ricochet grabs at the ref! Ospreay kicks Ricochet’s arm away, but then Ricochet RAMS Ospreay into the ref! The fans boo but then Ricochet hurries to HOOK KICK! And VERTI- NO, Ospreay slips free to underhook! STORM BREAKER! Cover, but the ref is down!

The fans count, Ospreay would’ve won twice over! Ospreay calls to the ref, the ref sputters around, and Ospreay goes up. But then Ricochet kicks the ref into ropes! Ospreay gets tripped up and the fans boo more! Ospreay is confused as to what happened, but SPIRIT GUN hits the mark!! Cover, RICOCHET WINS!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Ospreay earns 0)

The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander; Brody wins.

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!

Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!

Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!

Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!

And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?

Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!

The teams sort out and Konosuke starts against Hobbs to give the DC fans a preview of Worlds End. Hobbs and Konosuke step up, talk trash, and then the forearms go back and forth! The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.

Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him! Hobbs even gets Konosuke to back down with a glare. Hobbs brings Cage up to fire forearms, then he tags Davis. Davis & Hobbs double whip and DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up as Davis stalks Cage to a corner. Davis CHOPS Cage, and CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! Cage sputters but Davis scoops to SLAM Cage down! Then ELBOW DROP! Cover, ONE! Cage stays in this but Davis bumps him off buckles.

Tag to Hobbs and he brings Cage out. Hobbs and Davis reel Cage in, fans chant “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! MEAT MEAT MEAT!” but Konosuke makes the save! Konosuke swings, Hobbs dodges, so the elbow DECKS Davis! Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke, Cage ROCKS Hobbs! Cage clinches, Konosuke returns, KNEE RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Cage covers, TWO! Cage rains down fists, the ref reprimands, but Cage steps off. Cage drags Hobbs up, bumps him off buckles, and tags Konosuke. The Callis Family stomps a mudhole into Hobbs, but then Hobbs CHOPS Konosuke! Konosuke snarls, and he CHOPS in return!

Konosuke ROCKS Hobbs, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count but then Konosuke BITES Hobbs on the forehead! The ref counts, Konosuke lets off, and Hobbs sputters on the ropes.

Davis SENTONS but onto knees! Davis writhes, Cage tags Konosuke! POWER- NO, Davis stops the knee! Davis takes a swing but Konosuke ducks that, to BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! High stack, TWO!! Davis survives and Konosuke snarls, but Rampage goes picture in picture.

Konosuke rains down fists on Davis, but lets off as the ref reprimands. Konosuke tags Cage and Cage drags Davis up. Cage ROCKS Davis, whips him into a corner, and Davis hits buckles chest first! Cage RAMS into Davis, and RAMS in again, then CHOPS! Davis staggers but Cage whips him to ropes. Davis reverses, to dosido with Cage, only for Cage to CLOBBER Davis! Cage BOOTS Davis down, covers, but Hobbs breaks it! Cage gets mad and the ref reprimands Hobbs, then Cage soaks up heat from DC. Cage stalks Davis to a corner and fires haymakers! The ref reprimands but Cage DECKS Davis! Cage soaks up more heat while he flexes.

Holiday Bash returns to single picture while Davis crawls. Cage storms over but Davis fires hands! Davis CHOPS, CHOPS, but Cage JUMP KNEES! Cage whips Davis, Davis cartwheels and swings on Cage! Cage blocks, waistlocks, but Davis switches! BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Davis rises and reaches out! Davis crawls, as does Cage, hot tags to Hobbs and Konosuke! Hobbs LARIATS Konosuke, LARIATS again, then runs up to LARIAT in a corner! Cage runs up but he’s send into Konosuke! Hobbs SANDWEICHES the Family!

Cover, Davis blocks Cage, but Cage SHOVES Davis onto the cover! Cage then TOSSES Davis out, and he goes back for Hobbs. Hobbs TOSSES Cage! Hobbs grins as he has Konosuke alone. The straps come down, and Hobbs runs up, only for Konosuke to dodge!

Konosuke runs, Cage tags in, and Konosuke BOOTS Hobbs in the corner! Cage runs up to UPPERCUT, GAMANGIRI, and then GERMAN SUPLEX! Hobbs flounders, Cage hauls him up, PUMP HANDLE FACEBUSTER!!

Winners: Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage, by pinfall

The Alpha slam dunks on Dunkzilla, and now he has 8 days to prepare for the Powerhouse! Will Konosuke hold onto his International Championship against Hobbs? Or will taking that title be the perfect payback?

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.

Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?

Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!

The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?

The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles.

Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!

Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall

Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.

Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…

Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?

Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!

The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again. Willow puts Harley in a corner, the ref counts, and Willow lets off. DC duels between Willow and Harley, and Harley wants a Test of Strength. Willow accepts the knuckle locks, but then Harley kicks low! Harley runs, wheelbarrows, but Willow turns that into a BIG back suplex! The fans cheer as Willow runs, DIVING BODY PRESS! Cover, TWO! Willow bumps Harley off buckles, then fires LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans count al the way to TEN!

Willow brings Harley out with a smile, and scoop SLAMS her! Harley flounders, Willow storms up on her for another scoop and SLAM, right as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Holiday Bash returns and Willow CANNONBALLS, but Harley dodges! Willow hits only buckles and she hobbles after Harley. Harley kicks, KNEES, and ENZIGIRIS! Harley roars, runs, and SHINING WIZARDS! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up but Harley grows frustrated. The fans rally while Harley waistlocks, but Willow switches! Harley kicks free to switch back, but Willow ELBOWS Harley back! Willow fireman’s carries, storms around, but Harley pops up! Harley fires down elbows, then victory rolls, TWO! Willow escapes and ROCKS Harley! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!

Harley survives but Willow roars! The fans fire up as the straps come down! Willow gut wrenches for the BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall

Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?

Team Triple J speaks backstage.

Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!

While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?

The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Brody and Komander circle while the fans bark it up. There are fans who sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~” for Komander as the two tie up. But then Brody picks Komande up with both hands, and puts him on the to rope. Brody pats Komander on the shoulder, and the fans bark more. Komander hops down, not intimidated by Brody’s size.

Komander hurries to get in the ring, but then slides out to start a new ring count. Komander climbs again while Brody rises. Komander watches Brody slide in, then tightrope walks to CIELITO LINDO!! But that was on Brody’s back! Komander pushes Brody but that’s a lot of dead weight to push! Brody sits up but Komander KICKS him! Komander roars, the fans fire up, handspring- TORTURE RACK! Brody flips Komander around, GONZO BOMB!! Cover, Brody wins!!

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)

If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?

My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.

Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.

And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
