Grayson Waller arrives.

And he’s already being called names as he enters the building. He just records it for his social media and soaks up the heat.

 

No Holds Barred: Cameron Grimes VS Duke Hudson!

The Carolina Cash Money Caveman and The Smug are going to open this one with a hardcore throw down! Grimes brings out a trash can full of kendo sticks and other goodies from under the ring to set the stage. Will Grimes beat that bleached blonde possum of a wig off Hudson’s head? Or will Hudson finally break even for the losses he’s suffered at Grimes’ hands?

Grimes DECKS Hudson off the apron before the bell! Hudson blocks the penalty kick but Grimes puts the trash can over him! Grimes KICKS the can and knocks Hudson down! Grimes grins as he gets the trash can lid, and he SMACKS Hudson on the back! Fans fire up with Grimes as he swings and SMACKS Hudson again! Hudson sputters, Grimes puts him in the ring. Fans want that “One More Time!” and Grimes gets in, only for Hudson to throw body shots. Hudson SMACKS Grimes with the lid, then stomps away in the corner! Fans boo as Hudson lets off, but Grimes BOOTS back and QUEBRADAS! Cover, TWO!

Hudson bails out again, Grimes goes out after him. Grimes grabs Hudson’s “hair” and brings him around to SMACK him off the steps! Hudson shakes out the stars, Grimes gets the chair! Hudson kicks Grimes down first, then puts him back in the ring. Hudson throws the chair away, and the kendo stick, too. Grimes grab at the “hair” and fans want him to “Rip the Wig Off!” Hudson hotshots Grimes then adjusts the wig and headgear. Hudson slingshots and GERMAN SUPLEXES! Grimes flounders to the far side while Hudson adjusts the straps on his headgear. Grimes flops out of the ring and Hudson heads over that way.

Fans rally for Grimes, Hudson looks under the ring and brings out a chair. Grimes kicks the chair out of Hudson’s hands and fires off forearms! Hudson pokes Grimes in the eye! Fans boo, Grimes staggers around blindly, and Hudson reels him in to crucifix and RAZOR- NO! Grimes RANAS out and sends Hudson into Plexiglas! Fans fire up for “NXT! NXT!” as Grimes puts Hudson in the ring. Grimes has the chair now, stands it up and gets himself the trash can lid. Grimes THROWS the lid at Hudson, then LAUNCHES off the chair, into Hudson’s arm! URENAGE onto the chair!! Cover, TWO!! Grimes survives and Hudson seethes as NXT goes picture in picture.

Hudson keeps his headgear nice and tight while Grimes writhes. Hudson makes sure the wig is in place, too, and then he stops Grimes from getting a kendo stick. Hudson stomps Grimes down, throws him out, then paces while adjusting his headgear. Grimes slowly gets up, Hudson goes out after him, and Hudson bumps Grimes off the apron before an APRON BACK SUPLEX! Grimes flops down to the floor and writhes in pain while Hudson paces. Hudson mutters to himself as he goes around the way. The ref checks on Grimes but he’s okay to continue. Wait, Hudson brings out a POKER TABLE form under the ring!

Hudson gets the poker table into the ring, but Grimes drop toeholds him onto the chair! Hudson flounders, but he still gets Grimes for a BACKBREAKER! Hudson checks his nose, then sets up the poker table. Hudson stands the table up, drags Grimes over to the corner and hoists him up top. Hudson throws big forearms and Grimes sways as he manages to stay up top. Hudson climbs up after Grimes, Grimes throws body shots and Hudson hops down. Hudson BOPS Grimes right in the face! Hudson climbs again as NXT returns to single picture. Fans rally up as Grimes fights the superplex! Grimes headbutts Hudson away, then adjusts to LEAP over and CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!

Grimes throws KICKS into Hudson, but Hudson deflects to roll up, with tights! TWO!! Hudson can’t pull one over on Grimes, and Grimes victory rolls, TWO! Hudson flounders up, runs into a BOOT, and Grimes goes up, only for Hudson to trip him up! Grimes lands on his bitcoins and Hudson gets him for a crucifix carry. Grimes slips off and ROUNDHOUSES, then SUPERKICKS! Fans call out, “TO~ THE~ MOON~!” but Grimes runs into a POWERBOMB through the poker table!! Hudson drags Grimes off the wreckage to cover, TWO!!! Grimes survives and Hudson can’t believe it! Fans are thunderous for Grimes but Hudson goes out to look under the ring again.

Hudson finds the electric razor! He wants revenge for WarGames! He takes a seat by Grimes, sits him up and has a handful of hair! But Grimes BOOTS Hudson away! Then gets around to POISON-RANA!! Hudson takes a seat, CAVE-IN through the chair!! Cover, Grimes wins again!!

Winner: Cameron Grimes, by pinfall

It doesn’t matter if it’s at the poker table or in the squared circle, Grimes has Hudson’s number! And now he has the WIG! Bald Hudson is real! Will Hudson ever live down this humiliation? Is Grimes on to bigger and better after taking Hudson to the cleaners?

 

Backstage interview with Cora Jade.

The winner at WarGames still has unfinished business with Dakota Kai. Cora is excited to be medically cleared, but then Dakota walks in and says, “This is what she does. She’s done it before with me and she’s doing it to you now.” Dakota claims Raquel is latching on to Cora to stay relevant. Cora does the work, Raquel gets the glory. Maybe they’ll become a tag team and win the Dusty Cup! Cora says, “Thanks, mom, but I don’t need the advice.” Cora says after tonight, she’ll be one step closer to facing Mandy Rose for the title. M-Mom?! Dakota has a bit of a freak out, but will she be ready to take on the young and hungry #GenerationJade?

 

Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen get ready for the double date.

Brooks is ready! They’re going to a country concert and they have a fine ass truck. Where’re the girls? Kacy & Kayden roll up in an even better truck! The four go to the country music fest, do some square dancing in the field, and even some slow dancing for a minute. The boys are speechless, will there be a second date in their future?

 

Grayson Waller goes to the ring.

Fans boo the 21st Century Success Story, they definitely did not like what he did last week. Fans still call him an A-Hole for that attack on Johnny Wrestling. Waller gets a mic and says, “I love it. I love it! A wise man once said, ‘You can never fail if you bet on yourself.’ What a beautiful speech. I nearly had a tear in my eye last week. But that wise man overstayed his welcome!” Gargano wants to talk about his wife and his future, and he for whatever reason thanked all the fans! Like the fans have done anything for anyone! Last week, Waller, by himself, did what he said he was gonna do! He had all the views! He was trending all over! But that’s what happens when you bet on yourself.

Waller decides he’ll shut up after all, because he wants to watch the footage. Waller’s Instagram video had him rubbing his own attack in everyone’s face. Waller gets chills watching it back. Oh, no one else liked that? Well let’s be realistic. Last week, Waller cemented himself as THE NXT superstar! He went from jumping off the cage to winning WarGames to ending the career of a legend! Then Waller partied with the biggest celebrities in the world! What’d fans do for the weekend? Complained about someone more successful than them! But Waller is a good guy, he’ll give the fans some clout! He shows off all sorts of tweets. Even Wade Barrett called Waller a POS.

But here’s some bad news, Barrett! This ain’t 2010! He could care less what Barrett thinks. And Vic Joseph… Fans chant for them to “Kick His Ass!” but Waller says he did that to Vic’s best friend, in front of him, and Vic didn’t do a single thing! Remember that. It shows what kind of man you are, Vic. Waller says he doesn’t need friends, family or fans! “The only thing that I need to go to the top of this industry is Grayson Waller.” Waller drops the mic and swaggers his way out.

 

Malcolm Bivens speaks.

“Diamond Mine is all about the big money matches. And it doesn’t get much bigger than you, Bron Breakker. Yeah, I know you are the breakout superstar, but you are not the workhorse of NXT, and you certainly not THE champion of NXT. That distinction belongs to Roderick Strong. And I cannot wait for him to put you in your place.” Strong adds on that Diamond Mine will divide and conquer. Ivy Nile will handle her business, the Creed Brothers will handle their business, and Strong will handle Bron all by himself. Is Nile ready? Hell yeah! She’s gonna bust some skulls! Even her fist bump is strong! Will Diamond Mine’s personal titan steamroll another superstar?

 

NXT presents an all new Lashing Out.

Lash Legend welcomes us back, and she doesn’t have just one but TWO special guests tonight! It’s Jacket Time, Kushida & Ikemen Jiro! But then there’s also a random sighting of snoozy Karen Q. Anyway, Jiro & Kushida are big fans of Lash, so they’re happy to be here. She says they’re always dressed to impress. But what is the secret? #STYLESTRONG! Oh, she likes the sound of that. She’s got some Style Strong, too! But what we really want to know is what’s going on with them and Grizzled Young Veterans. Very sensitive operation. GYV attacked them first, but Jacket Time is not to be taken lightly.

Kushida calls out GYV in Japanese, “Just like Grayson Waller, you have NO respect for the ring!” Jiro agrees, and also says in Japanese, “We are the ultimate team! We always have smiles on our faces! Tonight, we will wipe the floor with yours!” Lash is shocked by such fire, but doesn’t really understand what they said. It’s jacket time! Okay! Well that’s all the time they have. Kushida & Jiro, they are Lash’s heroes, but will they take the fight to Zack Gibson & James Drake? Or will GYV find another cheeky way to cheat and win?

 

Ivy Nile w/ Malcolm Bivens VS Amari Miller!

Diamond Mine has forged Ivy Nile into a solid steel weapon, is she about to break the spirit of St. Louis?

The bell rings and fans sing, “Ivy’s gonna kill~ you!” Ivy headlocks, hits a takeover and grinds Amari down. Amari headscissors, pushes up, thrashes Ivy around, but Ivy endures to move around and headstand out! Fans cheer that and Bivens is very happy to see it. They tie up, Ivy waistlocks and throws Amari down to then facelock. Amari slips out and fans cheer the exchange again. They tie up, Ivy trips Amari but Amari slips away again. They tie up, Amari wrenches but Ivy blocks the whip. Amari steps over but Ivy slips out to springboard and DECK Amari! Ivy bumps Amari off buckles, hops up the corner and has a necklock! Ivy uses Amari as a weight for her triceps workout!

The ref counts, Ivy lets Amari down and CLOBBERS her! Ivy does push-ups on Amari’s back, she lets off as the ref counts 4. Ivy stalks Amari, drags her up and snap suplexes! Fans fire up as Ivy scoops but Amari slips out. Amari rolls up, TWO but Amari gets a ghost pin! TWO, roll to a sunset flip! TWO, and Ivy headbutts low! Ivy rushes in but Amari turns it to a backslide! Ivy rolls off, Amari CLUBS her back! And CHOPS her low! Amari throws forearms, HEEL KICKS then snapmares too mule kick Ivy down! Fans rally up, Amari basement dropkicks Ivy down! Cover, ONE!! Amari fires up, but Ivy ducks the heel kick and comes back to SPINEBUSTER!

Ivy gets to a corner, runs back out and dropkicks Amari down! Ivy then O’Conner Rolls, rolls through to the DRAGON SLEEPER! Amari taps, Ivy wins!!

Winner: Ivy Nile, by submission

Ivy crushes another opponent! Will this Diamond Mine product soon strike gold?

 

Backstage interview with Xyon Quinn.

A tough loss to Santos Escobar, but what does he think Elektra Lopez was pulling last week? It all worked in Escobar’s favor, so it doesn’t really matter what her intentions were. Quinn tells Lopez that now that he knows the rules of the game, game on. Robert Stone is also taking notes. He won’t let this go back to Vic and Wade, though! He is sick of the disrespect from everyone in NXT! “Moving forward, Robert Stone is going to be taken serious!” Von Wagner barges in and says last week was just the first body to break. This week, it continues! He’ll smash and beat whoever into the ground. Why? Because he can! If you have a problem with that, say it to his face. Stone stays quiet.

 

Joe Gacy talks with Harland.

“You have waited so long for this. This is your time. Don’t be afraid to be who you are.” Does that mean what it sounds like? Who will be Harland’s first victim in the ring?

 

Shaman Riddle speaks with MSK.

He knows they’ve come a long way in their journey, but Shaman Bro needs to know what else is in the bag. Scissors, glasses, batteries, and one ear bud? Is that all? Dig deeper. Riddle goes ALL the way in, and brings out a baseball bat! Wow, where’d they get that? And then… A safety cone! Bro! And Nash Carter’s favorite, the Thuganomics spinner belt from when John Cena was US Champion! But all this stuff, that’s just clutter in their lives. If they want to be tag team champions again, they gotta focus on one thing and one thing only: regaining those titles. Well, how do they clear their minds and learn to let go? Just give Riddle one second. Riddle reaches back in and…

He brings out a scooter!? How’d that get in there? To find what you’re really looking for, bros, you gotta dig deep. Like, really deep. Carter and Lee bring out a scooter for each of them, and these stallions ride! Will the Way of the Bro lead MSK back to the NXT Tag Team Championships?

 

Harland w/ Joe Gacy VS Guru Raaj!

It’s hard to be sure what to make of Harland with that same stoic stony expression. The bell rings, he circles with Raaj, they tie up and Harland SLAMS Raaj down! And then dribbles him off the mat! And then digs Raaj’s face into the mat while grinding his forearm into Raaj’s head! Harland lets off to drag Raaj up. Raaj throws body shots, but Harland KNEES low, CLUBS then back suplex POWERSLAMS! Cover, Harland wins!

Winner: Harland, by pinfall

A fast win that probably would’ve been even faster if Harland didn’t toy with Raaj. Gacy asks if Harland feels better. Harland shakes his head, so Gacy tells him to be happy. Harland dribbles Raaj off the mat again! Refs and security rush out to stop this, but only Gacy gets Harland to spare Raaj. Gacy leads the way out, will he and Harland lead a path of destruction through NXT?

 

LA Knight arrives.

He’s had his own issues with Waller, but he isn’t going to have NXT Media ask about him. He’s gonna talk to ya! “Talking about the guy who did one halfway cool move at WarGames, with help, and all of a sudden, he thinks he’s special.” Then he gets all butthurt just cuz some fine chickadee was feeling the vibe of one LA Knight, YEAH. So what does he do? He throws a hissy fit like the incel he is! So someone go find Waller, tell him to go find Knight if Knight doesn’t find his ass first, YEAH!

 

NXT watches security ushering Harland and Gacy out.

They don’t want “the freak” causing any more problems. But that word triggers Harland and he TOSSES THE Brian Kendrick down the stairs!! OH NO! BRIAN! Is he okay?! Will Harland and Gacy suffer the consequences for this?

 

Cora Jade VS Dakota Kai!

Mandy Rose is waiting for Cora as she makes her entrance, and joins commentary to keep a close eye on her. Will Cora be able to focus on #CobraKai with the NXT Women’s Champion nearby?

NXT returns as Dakota makes her entrance. The bell rings, the two rush each other and Dakota BOOTS Cora down! Dakota clubs away on Cora, whips her to a corner but Cora goes up and over and uppercuts back! Fans fire up as Cora whips Dakota, but Dakota reverses. Cora wrenches and whips to then follow and tilt-o-whirl headscissor Dakota down! Cora dropkicks Dakota down, then gets around to backslide! TWO, Cora kicks Dakota down! Cover, TWO! Fans rally and duel as Cora goes to a corner. Cora climbs up slowly, Dakota BOOTS her down! Dakota then climbs up, but Cora bumps Dakota off buckles!

Cora drags Dakota up but Dakota YANKS Cora into the crossbars! Cora clutches the bad arm, and she hops down off the apron. Dakota smirks as she aims from the other side, and she PENALTY KICKS Cora! Mandy sarcastically cringes seeing that, and Dakota covers, TWO! Dakota clamps onto Cora’s arm and forces it into the top wristlock! Cora endures, fans rally up, but Dakota throws Cora down! Cover, TWO! Dakota CLUBS Cora on the bad arm, steps over and JAMS the arm! Mandy says Cora doesn’t have nearly enough experience to measure up to her. Dakota clamps onto the arm, grinds it down, but Cora fights. Dakota turns Cora over to PULL the arm!

Cora bridges to try and relieve pressure but Dakota keeps pulling! Dakota shifts to a short arm scissor! Cora fights, Dakota laughs, Cora powers to a cover, TWO! Cora is free, she ducks and dodges to fire forearms with the good arm! Dakota claws the bad arm! Dakota whips Cora to a corner, Dakota runs around the world but Cora dodges the boot and dumps Dakota out! Mandy disrespects Cora’s skateboarding, but Cora gets her bad arm moving. Dakota gets in, Cora rallies with lariats and elbows! Cora runs, Dakota dodges but Cora RANAS! Cora fires up, runs into the corner, SHINING WIZARD! Cora shoves Dakota down, then climbs up and missile dropkicks! Cover, TWO!

Cora drags Dakota up but Dakota SCORPION KICKS, and then hits a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Dakota is losing her cool as Cora is proving her toughness! Dakota runs corner to corner, and BOOTS Cora down! Then side to side, BOOT WASH! Cover, TWO!! Cora is still in this and Dakota is beside herself. Dakota catches Cora for a TWISTING DDT! Cover, TWO! Mandy is not impressed, but that could just be her arrogance. Dakota goes out, looks under the ring, and brings out THE SHOVEL! She’s gonna bury Cora! The ref stops that, then Cora rolls Dakota up! Cora wins!!

Winner: Cora Jade, by pinfall

Mandy says Cora keeps getting lucky, but then Dakota BOOTS Cora down! Dakota gets her shovel back, but here comes Raquel! Raquel dodges and BOOTS Dakota! Dakota bails out but Raquel chases after to club away on Dakota! They go out the back, but here comes the rest of Toxic Attraction! Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne strut out to the ring as Mandy says this is what real women look like. But it’s MANDY who attacks first, and with her belt! She may look like a real woman, but she plays things like a real snake as she hits an ARMBAR DDT on Cora’s bad shoulder! Cora writhes in pain, but is this all a sign that Toxic Attraction fears #GenerationJade?

 

Waller brags backstage.

He looked good out there, didn’t he? He checks his phone, and then Tiffany Stratton walks up to say, “My daddy says you’re a terrible person.” Io Shirai insults Waller in Japanese! He takes a seat to listen to her vent. “I guess she likes me.” Waller is a bit delusional, but will Knight find him and slap some sense into him?

 

Raquel Gonzalez is going after Dakota Kai in the parking lot!

Refs and security do what they can to keep Raquel and her kendo stick from hitting Dakota! Dakota throws a chair, even! What will it take to put the past in the past for these two?

 

Tony D’Angelo VS Andre Chase!

NXT’s resident Wise Guy shows off the mouthpiece he took from Pete Dunne as he goes to the ring. Will he look to take something from Andre Chase to add to the collection? Or will this be a #TeachableMoment courtesy of Professor Chase?

NXT returns and Chase has made his entrance. The bell rings, Chase talks trash to Tony and bops him with the papers. Tony DECKS Chase, then gets around to waistlock and SLAM Chase down! Tony holds onto the waistlock, drags Chase up but Chase gets ropes. The ref counts, Tony lets off and Chase back elbows! Chase brings Tony to a corner but Tony bumps him off buckles! And then more buckles! And then again and again in the corner closest to the Chase U student section! Tony lets off on Chase, then gets him for a Belly2Belly! Chase bails out, Tony drags him up to the apron and hip tosses him back in!

Chase crawls to ropes, Tony talks trash and whips him to ropes. Chase reverses to headlock, then he throws Tony down by his hair! The students advise Chase on the next play, and Chase hits a NECKBREAKER! Cover, ONE!! Chase rains down fists, fans boo but the Chase U students cheers. Chase has them spell out his name as he stomps Tony! “C! H! A! S! E! U!” Chase U is going wild but Tony throws body shots! Tony whips but Chase gets him for a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Cover, TWO! Chase clamps on a chinlock and he thrashes Tony around. Tony endures, the CWC is on his side and he fights up. Tony moves around, and he uses momentum to throw Chase into a corner!

Tony gets Chase for a BACK DROP! Tony kicks low, pulls Chase’s sweater over his head and has himself a hockey fight! Then a HALF HATCH SUPLEX! Fans fire up and Tony TACKLES Chase! Tony says he’s doneski! NORTHERN LIGHTS and roll through, FISHERMAN SCREW! Cover, Tony wins!

Winner: Tony D’Angelo, by pinfall

Tony, learn something from Chase? Forgedaboutit! Tony knows how to win, and that’s what matters! Tony gets a mic to say, “In the words of my immortal paizon, Tony Bennett, Tony D’s got the world on a string.” And ever since he’s gotten here, he’s backed up everything he said he’d do! He took care of Chase, so he’s head of the class now. And he said he’d smack the tea ‘n’ crumpet goof, Pete Dunne, right in the mouth- Here comes Pete Dunne! The Bruiserweight has a mic, and he tells Tony that he’s done a lot of talking for a geezer with no track record. Dunne is gonna get in the ring, we’ll see if Tony holds that same energy face to face.

Tony says whoa! Dunne’s got quite the mouth on him. Dunne’s got a face only a mother would love. But he’s missing something, huh? Look over there. There’s the mouthpiece. Bet Dunne wants that back, right? Dunne wants to fight, huh? Well he isn’t here to talk! Tony says he has business, but next week they can figure it out. Until then, Tony’s gotta talk to a guy about some things. But he tries a sucker punch! Dunne gets the arm and BENDS The fingers! And SNAPS ’em! Tony bails out, and they both look to the corner! Dunne gets there first and Tony backs off. Dunne STOMPS the box open and has his mouthpiece!

 

Waller walks into the locker room.

Bron Breakker is getting warmed up. Waller wants to fist bump over WarGames. But Bron says Waller isn’t welcome here. The other guys agree. Alright, fine. Waller takes his things, but a real superstar has his own room anyway! Waller is trying to spin being ostracized, will he find it’s lonely at the top?

 

WWE Medical checks on THE Brian Kendrick.

He needs a neck brace, but who knows what the extent of the damage is after Harland threw him down those stairs.

It was practically win by knockout! Is Boa’s power only growing with every moment?

 

Raquel says this needs to end!

“I look back on our friendship as a positive. But the reality is, I need to end you, Dakota!” Her friend, her enemy! They’ll finish this how it all started: in a STREET FIGHT! Will Dakota take Raquel up on that challenge?

 

NXT Media catches up with Waller.

It seems no one likes him anymore, but he says that’s the “Grayson Waller Effect.” Wait, is he leaving with Tiffany Stratton in LA Knight’s car? What did Knight say last week about views? Knight’s gonna love this view! Waller pulls away, and Knight is down and out on the ground! What won’t Waller do to be the most infamous man in NXT?

 

Jacket Time VS Grizzled Young Veterans!

Ikemen Jiro & Kushida say it’s time! But will they SSSSOOOON be recognized as the duo that Zack Gibson & James Drake cheated out of a win?

NXT returns and GYV are in the ring. The teams sort out, Kushida starts against Mr. Mayhem. Drake avoids the takedowns, gets a facelock, but Kushida turns it around on him.

Bivens talks up Strong.

Bivens says Strong is THE champion in NXT and he’ll teach Bron a lesson. But then Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams walk over. They see Strong is a champion in NXT, but not THE A CHAMPION. Bivens says these two might need something. There’s a picture as drawn by Lumis of Trick running away! Melo says not to worry about that. They head out, but clearly Lumis wants to #WhoopThatTrick! Will the Tortured Artist make Trick his next masterpiece?

 

Bron Breakker VS Roderick Strong w/ Malcolm Bivens!

The “Big Booty Nephew” still wants after “Daddy Ciampa” and THE NXT Championship, but he’s more than willing to sharpen his skills against the NXT Cruiserweight Champion. Will Bron be able to break through Diamond Mine’s fearless leader? Or will Strong be the one breaking Bron with all those backbreakers?

The bell rings, they circle, and Strong goes for a leg. Bron throws him right off! Strong gets up, he and Bron circle and Strong avoids Bron’s shoot in for the leg. Bron laughs it off, they go again. Strong gets a leg, trips Bron and has a facelock. Bron fights as Strong mocks the barking. Bron powers up to toss Strong away, and Strong sees Melo & Trick are up in the perch to watch this. Bron ignores those guys, but Strong knees him low. Strong headlocks, Bron powers out and runs Strong over! Bron runs, gator rolls to get Strong up for a stalling suplex! Bron holds Strong for about 12 before the SLAM! Bron kips up and fans bark as he goes out after Strong.

Strong RAMS Bron into the desk, then DESK BACK SUPLEXES Bron down! Strong stares Melo down as NXT goes picture in picture.

Strong talks some trash to Melo, puts Bron in the ring and stomps Bron down. Strong stomps Bron at the ropes, the ref counts and Bron lets off. Melo says that’s not god enough so Strong CHOPS Bron in the corner. Bron DECKS Strong with a forearm in return! Strong gets up to knee Bron low, then put him in a corner. Strong RAMS his shoulder in, the ref counts, and Strong lets off at 4. Strong throws hands to knock Bron down, then stomps Bron to bring him up. Strong scoops for a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!

Winner: Bron Breakker, by pinfall

Bron just pinned a former NXT Tag Team, North American and current Cruiserweight Champion! Is this proof that Bron But then Ciampa shows up outta nowhere to get Bron in the ropes! WILLOW’S BELL! Ciampa says Bron won the battle at WarGames. The title is the war! “Welcome back to the deep end. Just remember, Bron. Sharks swim here.” Ciampa gives Bron a kiss goodnight, will Goldie be staying with daddy?


My Thoughts:

A great episode of NXT here, and Waller is definitely top Heel now. They even kayfabed that he has heat with the locker room! And while I was hoping we’d shift gears for a moment and have Ciampa or Lumis go after Waller, all the stories seem to be continuing as they are. Waller goes after Knight to jack his car and his date, so they’ll surely have a grudge match soon. Lumis is after Trick, and surely will go after Melo after that for a North American Championship match. And Melo is still focusing on Strong just because Bivens says Strong is THE champion in NXT. Strong puts Bron over for Ciampa to go after him to end the night, we’re definitely getting another NXT Championship match there.

I really liked that they opened with the No Holds Barred match. Grimes and Hudson had time to do all sorts of stuff, and I’m a little surprised Grimes won again. Grimes has completely swept Hudson, which seems a bit of a shame for the story, or at least for Hudson, but Grimes is a fan favorite so no one is complaining. We got some pretty quick matches to follow, though, with Nile crushing Amari and Harland mauling Raaj. What was great was Harland “injuring” THE Brian Kendrick, because they filmed it so perfectly. I almost want THE Brian Kendrick to have one more match against Harland to help show more of Harland’s in-ring skill.

Great stuff out of the tag division, with a fairly funny promo from Riddle and MSK and the classic “bottomless bag” trick. This is the kind of stuff I figured they’d do with Riddle and MSK, and I can’t wait to see what more we get. Briggs & Brooks had an okay concert date vignette with Kacy & Kayden, but NXT 2.0 needs to dial it back on the dating stuff. Let Briggs & Brooks be the good ol’ boys with their redneck lifestyles, then have them kick ass in the ring. Von Wagner’s fired up, too, I almost feel like he, Briggs & Brooks should be a trio because they’re all big, strong outdoorsy types. They can even take on El Legado all at once.

Speaking of, good promo from Quinn to say this is just the beginning with Legado. Jacket Time VS GYV was a good match, and I find it interesting that the Creed Brothers helped out Kushida & Jiro to stick it to Gibson & Drake. The NXT Tag Division is getting full but I don’t know about stacked like in the past. NXT 2.0 needs to take a week to give matches the same breathing room we used to see in 1.0. Kushida & Jiro VS GYV could have been even better if it was given more time. At the very least, there should be a big tag team match to determine contenders for Imperium while MSK is on their journey with Riddle. Maybe another of those Fatal 4 Ways like we got a month or so ago.

We got great story blending from the women’s division, with Cora getting a great win over Dakota Kai while Mandy was talking trash on commentary. I knew Mandy would be the one to attack while Gigi & Jacy distracted Cora, too. That is definitely a nod to Cora getting her title match for New Year’s Evil. As for Raquel and Dakota, their Street Fight next week is going to be wild stuff, can’t wait to see it.

My Score: 8.6/10

World Tag League 2024 A Block: Alex Zayne & Ryusuke Taguchi VS Jeff Cobb & Callum Newman!

The Funky Sauce had a less than hot debut losing to Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji. And now, they’re running into the Imperial Unit & Prince of Pace, who are already setting a good pace with their win. Can Zayne & Taguchi heat things up? Or will they be conquered by The United Empire?

World Tag League 2024 A Block: Gabe Kidd & SANADA VS KENTA & Chase Owens!

No NJPW round robin tournament would be complete without Bullet Club VS Bullet Club! The Mad Man & Cold Skull lost to Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa, Fang Revived & Crown Jewel lost to Bishamon, so both teams are in a fighting mood. Which faction within the club comes out feeling Just Too Sweet?

Aw hell, Gabe & Sanada attack Kenta & Chase during their entrance! No mercy just because they’re all Bullet Club! Sanada brings Chase into the crowd while Gabe and Kenta brawl down the aisle!

Chase can tell where Kenta and Gabe are because of the spotlights following them! Chase CLUBS Sanada, then leaves him behind to go help Kenta. Gabe CHOKES Kenta with a shirt! Gabe mockingly offers the Too Sweet, then cusses Kenta out. Gabe says, “We run this!” in reference to War Dogs over OG Bullet Club. But then Chase goes after Gabe! Sanada hurries to help Gabe and now the brawling is all in the same area! Kenta has Sanada now while Chase keeps after Gabe.

Things finally go back to the ground level and to ringside. Kenta ROCKS Sanada, but Sanada ROCKS Kenta! Gabe CHOKES Chase with a chair! Gabe storms around but Sanada does the same to Kenta on the other side. Chase CHOPS and fires forearms, but Gabe doesn’t flinch. So Chase CLAWS Gabe’s face! Sanada ROCKS Kenta, stalks him, and then Gabe SMACKS Chase with a chair! The Young Lions make sure fans are safely out of the way while Kenta CLAWS Sanada’s face. Gabe brings Chase to ringside and SMACKS him off the apron. Gabe then hurries to help Sanada as he BLINDSIDES Kenta!

Gabe then pushes Chase over, because he says this is for Kenny Omega! Gabe aims a finger gun at Chase! “Good bye, and F YOU, Kenny!!” Gabe runs up to V-TRIGGER!! Then a PILEDRIVER!! Cover, War Dogs win!!

Winners: Gabe Kidd & Sanada, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Kenta & Chase earn 0)

The War Dogs struck first and never let up, and now they win to break even. Wait, as Kenta & Chase are helped away, and even as Sanada heads out, Gabe sits cross-legged while he has the mic. “Let me be very effin’ clear. You crossed the line as soon as you ran to Tokyo Sports and started calling me all this s*it. Unprofessional, all this s*it. Let me make this very effin’ clear! You said you wanted, you said the fans wanted, I said it before: I don’t give a F what anyone wants but me! And I wanna end your career! So iitengo (January 5th), Gabe Kidd, Kenny Omega, LET’S EFFIN’ GO!!”

The fans are fired up to hear WrestleDynasty now has a massive crossover match added! But will Gabe keep making this about The Best Bout Machine until it comes back to bite him? Or is that just the motivation he needs so he and Sanada can take the trophies?

 

World Tag League 2024 A Block: Shota Umino & Tomoaki Honma VS Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa!

The Roughneck & Everyone’s Kokeshi had a rough opening round with their loss, but The Front Man & The Mullet had a mighty main event win. But the tournament might be taking a backseat when Shota wants after the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. Will Shota earn a title match while heading for the trophies? Or will ZSJ prove Shota’s just not ready?

As ZSJ & “Roy” step into the ring, Shota gets in ZSJ’s face so ZSJ taunts him with the world title. The ref has them stand down, and the teams sort out.

Honma CHOPS ZSJ and ZSJ sputters. Honma CHOPS again, and CHOPS again! ZSJ hobbles away but Honma is on him with a whip. Honma ELBOWS ZSJ down, pats his head and runs, but he stops short of the kokeshi as ZSJ  moves! ZSJ grabs an arm and wrangles Honma into a TRIANGLE HOLD! Oiwa BLASTS Shota while Honma scrambles around! The fans fire up as Honma fights and drags ZSJ with him. ZSJ shifts to have just the arm, or no, not just the arm! It’s like a one-armed Italian Stretch! Honma still fights to the ROPEBREAK! Fans applaud, and ZSJ lets go to tag Oiwa. Oiwa drags Honma up to scoop and SLAM!

Honma kicks and kicks but Oiwa CHOPS him down! Oiwa wraps Honma’s arm around ropes and pulls! The ref counts, Oiwa lets go, and Oiwa headlocks. Oiwa brings Honma over and tags ZSJ.

Shota runs up, to UPPERCUT!

Shota reels ZSJ in, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect but Shota shrugs that off. Shota drags ZSJ up, but ZSJ fights the clinch to go for the arm. ZSJ elbows Shota, whips, but Shota reverses to trip ZSJ, turn him over, and STF! ZSJ fights the crossface portion, slips out and wrangles Shota into a FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Shota fights up, but ZSJ pushes on the arm! Shota still fights, slips around, and arm-drags free! ZSJ avoids the dropkick to the leg to NECK TWIST! Tag to Oiwa and Oiwa drags Shota up. Oiwa headlocks, Shota powers out, but Oiwa runs Shota over!

Things keep moving, Oiwa counters Shota’s hip toss with a hip toss! Shota gets up, Oiwa DROPKICKS! Oiwa kips up and the fans fire up! Shota stands Oiwa up, scoops and POWERSLAMS, to then run and SPLASH DOWN! Cover, TWO! Oiwa keeps on Shota but Shota fights the anaconda plex! Shota CLUBS away on Oiwa, then catches him to a clinch. Oiwa slips free, shoves, but Shota dropkicks the legs out! The fans fire up while both men are down! Shota crawls away, hot tag to Honma! Honma storms up to CHOP Oiwa! And CHOP! And CHOP again!

The Mighty Don’t Kneel, but the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion just fell to this Reiwa Musketeer! World Tag League aside, will Shota now bring that Paradigm Shift to the Tokyo Dome? Or will ZSJ make sure this is still TMDK’s WrestleKingdom?

 

World Tag League 2024 A Block: Bishamon VS Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji!

Hirooki Goto & Yoshi-Hashi made it Lights Out last round against Kenta & Chase Owens while The Rampaging Dragon & Gene Blast were tranquilo against Funky Sauce. Only one team can stay spotless, can the Fierce Warrior & Headhunter slay these twin dragons? Or will Los Ingobernables de Japon be that much closer to the trophies?

The teams sort out and after LIJ fist bumps, Yota calls out Goto. Goto accepts and the fans rally as the bell rings. Goto and Yota circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock.

Yota then drags Hashi up, ROCKS him in the back, and Hashi falls against ropes. Yota tags Takagi and Takagi chinlocks Hashi in the ropes. Red Shoes reprimands then counts, so Takagi lets go quickly. Takagi hauls Hashi up to RAM him into the corner again and again. Takagi stomps Hashi, whips him to ropes, then KNEES him! Takagi suplexes high and hard! The fans applaud while Takagi keeps his eyes on Goto. Takagi goes to Hashi, sits him up, and rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS!

Takagi pump handles and torture racks, but ITADAKIGARI!! Cover, BISHAMON WINS!!!

Winners: Bishamon, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Takagi & Yota earn 0)

A sudden turnaround, but it can’t be called an upset with how Goto & Hashi have been World Tag League winners and IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions besides! But if this is how hard Takagi & Tsuji fought, yet they still fell short, how much harder must they fight to be on top of the block?

As for Bishamon, Hashi has the mic first. “Last year, Bishamon made history be becoming the first-ever IWGP Tag Team Champions to win this league. We also achieved the first-ever threepeat. This year, we’re looking to go undefeated!” The fans cheer that lofty goal, and even chant for “BI-SHA-MON! BI-SHA-MON!” Hashi says then, in Kumamoto, when they win their FOURTH STRAIGHT tournament, “We’ll show you our happiest Zanmai celebration ever.” The fans are certainly intrigued by that. Hashi says Bishamon’s four-peat will come in the blink of an eye!

With that mic drop, the mission is clear! No need to #GetBackUp when you’re still riding high, but will Goto & Hashi continue to add to their historic achievements? Or will a team come along to ruin it all?

 

Here are the NEW A Block standings!

Jeff Cobb & Callum Newman: 2-0, 4 points
Bishamon: 2-0, 4 points
Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji: 1-1, 2 points
Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa: 1-1, 2 points
Gabe Kidd & Sanada: 1-1, 2 points
Shota Umino & Tomoaki Honma: 1-1, 2 points
Kenta & Chase Owens: 0-2, 0 points
Alex Zayne & Ryusuke Taguchi: 0-2, 0 points


My Thoughts:

A great event for WTL A Block, but I hope there won’t be any more delays in the On Demand upload, there’s too much to do on a Friday to wait on this. Anyway, I had a bad feeling Funky Sauce would lose again, but they had a strong showing against Callum & Cobb. Great brawl between Gabe & Sanada with Kenta & Chase. But considering Gabe is building towards that match with Kenny Omega, good win for him and Sanada, and then good promo from Gabe to call Omega out. This all probably takes Gabe & Sanada out of the running for the finals, because they can play up how Gabe is too distracted by wanting after Omega.

Great match from Shota & Honma VS ZSJ & Oiwa, but this match also proved me right from earlier. This was just a formality to make ZSJ VS Shota for the world title official. Shota gets the upset win on ZSJ and now that is Shota’s path to WrestleKingdom. But Bishamon VS LIJ was awesome stuff, and what a great win for Goto & Hashi. Goto & Hashi are definitely set up to make another run at the trophies, but I’m still not sure of their chances of winning. The threepeat was pretty surprising as it was, but a four-peat would be wild.

My Score: 9/10

Rampage returns and…

Lexy Nair welcomes us back, while also welcoming us to the official Full Gear Zero Hour weigh-in. Please welcome first, QT Marshall! The fans boo as QT makes his return to AEW TV, and he shows off the “DOOM” logo on his track jacket. QT steps into the ring and now Lexy welcomes out Big Justice and Big Boom AJ! The fans cheer as the Costco Guys are here, giving out high-fives and fist bumps! QT is already annoyed but Lexy says before we get started, do either of them have something to say? QT steps up to say yes, he does! Enough with the “Boom,” first off! Tomorrow night, QT brings the doom!

QT told AJ 20 years ago that he didn’t have it. 20 years later, AJ still doesn’t have it! The fans boo but AJ just shrugs that off. AJ tells QT that QT’s been waiting those 20 years to get AJ in the ring. But AJ’s been waiting ever since QT tossed those double chunk chocolate cookies! The fans cheer that! But AJ says hold on, hold on. He’s got a special surprise for us. He wants someone real special to be at Full Gear to ring the bell when AJ rings QT’s bell and he Power-Booms QT through this ring. QT asks who. AJ says there’s only one guy that can be. They scratch their chins, and yes, it’ll be THE RIZZLER!!

QT is seething but the fans love it! QT gets to business by taking off the jacket and the sweatpants. QT steps on the scale, flexes, and we get the numbers on the tron: 229 pounds flat for QT! QT is all fired up, he’s bringing that heavyweight build. The fans fire up for AJ, “Bring the Boom! Bring the Boom!” Wait, what? 550?! AJ’s big but not THAT big.

But see, that won’t matter when his dad brings that BOOM on Saturday night! Is QT ready?

QT steps up but AJ gets in QT’s way. QT takes a swing! AJ ROCKS QT first! AJ makes sure Big Justice is okay, but then QT hits the DIAMOND CUTTER! The fans boo but QT says that’s gonna be the DOOM! Will QT not care who or what Big Boom AJ brings to Full Gear? Or will he slammed on the mat for The Rizzler?

 

AEW takes a closer look at the AEW World Tag Team Championship Fatal 4 Way.

Malakai Black says, “Eight men, four destinies intertwined.” Anthony Bowens recaps: The Acclaimed, Kings of the Black Throne, Outrunners, and Private Party, fighting for the titles. Marq Quen says he and Zay worked SO damn hard for these titles. But The Outrunners are hard as a rock! Malakai says The House has a “trigger full of promises to deliver.” Bowens says they have everyone’s number, but The Outrunners feel they have nothing to lose! Malakai & Brody say come one, come all, for all shall perish! Zay promises he & Quen will do whatever it takes to leave Full Gear still your AEW World Tag Team Champions, and that’s a flex.

 

Juice Robinson VS The Butcher!

While everyone else, such as the Bang Bang Gang’s fearless leader, Jay White, gears up for Full Gear, Rock Hard Robinson is just looking to get a win. Butcher almost shoves him off the apron, will Butcher cause this Collision Cowboy to go off the rails? Or will it be Guns Up for the Reading, Pennsylvania Gold Members?

The bell rings and Juice ties up with Butcher. They’re in a deadlock and quickly go to the mat. They also quickly get back up, and Juice powers Butcher to a corner. The ref counts, they go along ropes, in a corner, then along more ropes. Butcher has Juice on the ropes but he lets off with a scuffing forearm.

Winner: Juice Robinson, by pinfall

And that’s one for Bullet Club Gold! Will Jay White look to do just as much damage to Hangman Page? Or will the Blackhat Cowboy still be number one with a bullet?

 

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!

There will be no Friday Night Rampage next week, because it will be a BACK-TO-BACK Rampage & Collision Saturday night! Make sure your DVR is ready for three hours of AEW action!

 

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.

Lexy is with La Mera Mera and brings up how next week will be an ALL LUCHA Rampage. That must be exciting. Rosa is beyond excitement! It is about time they get some lucha libre to spice up Rampage. Atlantis Jr, Hechicero, and the return of Mystico! C’mon, now! Well what about Rosa? Yes, what about Rosa? Rosa hasn’t had a true lucha match in awhile, but why not? An open challenge for any luchadora or female wrestler that wants after La Mera Mera! In steps Harley Cameron, wearing a Hologram mask, and putting on a robot voice. “Greetings. I am famed luchadora, Harley-gram, the female counterpart to Hologram.”

Rosa is trying not to laugh as “Harley-gram” officially accepts the open challenge. Rosa tells Harley-gram that she looks familiar. Like a certain someone she beat two weeks ago. Does not compute with Harley-gram. Okay, fine. Compute this: Next week, Rosa will yank her cord and shut her down! OH SHUT UP! What? Uh… Danger! Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! “Harley-gram” runs off and Rosa asks if this is really happening. Rosa sighs, but will she just have to reboot Harley back to factory settings?

 

Ricochet speaks.

“I have had my eyes on the International title since I debuted in AEW. And Takeshita has cost me my chance at becoming International Champion on more than one occasion. I was the last person to pin the International Champion, and I plan on doing it one more time, at Full Gear. At Full Gear, Takeshita finds out what the world already knows: That Ricochet is not from here. Ricochet is outta this world!” The King of Flight is determined to dethrone The Alpha. Will Ricochet become The One & Only International Champion?

 

BREAKING NEWS for the Full Gear Zero Hour!

Anna Jay lost last week in her last chance championship match, but she also rejected the offer of The Vendetta. Now Deonna Purrazzo is looking to teach Anna why that was a mistake. Will The Virtuosa make sure Anna’s never The Star of the Show? Or will she learn why Anna’s still The Queenslayer? Then, we see Dante Martin, The Beast Mortos, Komander and Buddy Matthews compete in what will surely be a fast and furious Fatal 4 Way! Who wins some big momentum, and possibly a spot in the Continental Classic?

 

Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS The Dark Order!

While Tomohiro Ishii is aiming for the ROH World Championship next Wednesday on Thanksgiving Eve, he, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero don’t mind building up momentum in the Trios Division. Will the Stone Pitbull, Sussex County Chicken & Azucar be rolling towards titles? Or can Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver remind everyone that The Dark Order is good enough?

A great battle from these factions, but it is Strong Style that wins out! Will this happen again when Ishii goes 1v1 with The Learning Tree? Or will Chris Jericho make sure the Age of Nueve lasts forever and ever?


My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here for the go-home to Full Gear, but it was definitely just a go-home. They’re even ending with the November Rain music video from last Saturday as I type this. Good promo from Ricochet to hype up his match with Takeshita, but that’s still a toss-up to me. A part of me does want Ricochet to have the International Champion so Takeshita can enter the Continental Classic and go after Okada like he was supposed to do just a month ago. It really depends on what the Don Callis Family story is going to be with Ospreay and Fletcher, as The Don Callis Family isn’t losing everything at Full Gear.

Great opening tag of Mariah & Mina VS Nyla & Harley, though I really thought that was going to be the main event. But at the same time, of course Mariah & Mina won. No tease for anything at Full Gear so maybe they’ll wait to surprise us with Toni Storm or something tomorrow. Harley becoming “Harley-gram” just to get a rematch with Rosa was hilarious stuff, as does that “All Lucha Rampage” episode they’re hyping up. But oh look, next week is back-to-back Rampage and Collision on a Saturday just to try and undercut Survivor Series. It won’t matter, I’m still watching WarGames and leaving AEW for after, but it’s nice of them to do everything on one night.

Very good filler match of Juice VS Butcher, that was a strong return to singles action for Juice. Very nice Zero Hour matches but I kinda wish they’d given us a segment on TV to set up Deonna VS Anna rather than just announcing it. Maybe there was something social media had but I’m still not someone who follows all the socials. And that Fatal 4 Way is awesome, can’t wait to see who comes out of that a winner. Good promo overall from Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall, but I’m not sure it needed to be a weigh-in. A press conference style segment would’ve been fine, or even a contract signing, but I guess they just wanted to set up QT’s “lay off the cookies” joke. QT stands tall with his cutter taking down AJ, so you can bet AJ dooms QT in the Zero Hour.

Also great Six Man Tag main event, though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a main event without entrances. Great win for Conglomeration, though, but yeah, Ishii sure ain’t winning the ROH World Championship.

My Score: 8.8/10
