Amale VS Xia Brookside!
The French Hope was skeptical of the respect the spoiled second generation superstar showed her, but she still accepted this tiebreaker rematch. Will Amale take the win and head up the ranks? Or will Xia have quite the surprise in store for us all?
The bell rings and fans jeer, “Xia Sucks!” Xia and Amale tie up, Xia knees low and the fists start flying already!

Amale gets Xia back up, BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Fans rally and Amale keeps Xia. Amale scoops but Xia slips off and gets to a corner.
Amale runs in but into a DOUBLE STOMP! Xia is frustrated and she kicks and stomps Amale! Fans still jeer while Xia grits her teeth and stomps Amale more. Xia stands on Amale at the ropes and double stomps her, then stomps all over Amale’s back. The ref reprimands and Xia tells her to leave her alone. Xia stomps Amale to a corner, RAMS into her, then drags her up to bump off buckles. Xia RAMS into Amale again, then runs in for BLINDSIDE METEORA! Cover, TWO! Fans rally but Xia brings Amale up to snapmare and PENALTY KICK! Cover, ONE! Xia is furious about that, and she hip drops Amale down.
Xia pulls Amale’s arms back into a CAMEL CLUTCH! Amale endures, gets an arm free, but Xia CLUBS her down! Xia locks the arm back up but Amale continues to endure. Fans rally, Amale powers up to get her arms free and carry Xia as a backpack! BACKPACK SENTON! Fans fire up while Amale gets back to her feet. Amale counter punches Xia, then again!

Amale is furious and she follows Xia out, to BOOT her against the barriers! Fans fire up as Amale puts Xia back in, but wait! Someone attacks from the crowd! This mystery woman got a cheap shot in, then she CLOBBERS Amale with a clothesline! Fans boo but there’s nothing that can be done! Xia puts Amale in the ring, she grabs the arms, BROKEN WINGS! Cover, Xia wins!
Winner: Xia Brookside, by pinfall
Xia holds up the L with her finger and her thumb, but clearly her daddy got her an insurance policy. Just who was that helping Xia? She gets in the ring with Xia to celebrate! What will Xia and her new little friend do here in NXT UK in order to make Xia a champion?
Isla Dawn speaks.
Or rather, she sings “Meiko~” as she sets candles down by the stolen NXT UK Women’s Championship belt. “I have something that belongs to you. Oh, y’see, I’ve been listening. And it appears the bond between the two of you is quite unbreakable. But I have a plan. Meiko, there’s something I want from you. There’s something I need. And if you ever want to see your championship again, I think you’ll do exactly what I ask. Or else.” Isla blows out the candles, is she going to extinguish Meiko’s light one way or another?
NXT UK superstars discuss Dragunov VS Strong.
Amale says Strong is “going to have a taste of what we are worth here. And what better man to show that to him than the champion himself, Ilja Dragunov.” Nathan Frazer knows Dragunov “is a different animal.” After his match with the champ, Frazer’s a fan. And as a fan, Frazer knows this match is going to be unreal, hard-hitting, and brutal. Emilia McKenzie knows Strong VS Ilja is “going to be absolutely incredible.” It’ll do wonders for the NXT UK brand. A-Kid says if there is one man who can match Dragunov’s intensity, it is Strong. But he is hyped. Who wouldn’t be? The amount A-Kid has for both men is huge, and would love to get another match for that title against either one.
Tyler Bate says this could be the most ferocious match NXT UK has seen. Seven says if he was a fan, he’d buy a ticket. He might still. But Jordan Devlin doesn’t care one way or another. It doesn’t matter if it’s Dragunov or Strong, the Irish Ace is going to be breathing down that man’s neck. Czar of NXT UK VS Savior of the Backbreaker happens next week!
Ashton Smith w/ Oliver Carter VS Trent Seven w/ Tyler Bate!
The Hottest Tag Team Under the Sun is halfway to earning another NXT UK Tag Team Championship match after the shocker Carter pulled off over the Big Strong Boy. But will the Prestige be able to pull his weight? Or will the Artful Dodger really do anything he has to in order to keep these titles?
The bell rings and the two circle. Fans rally and duel, Seven and Smith tie up, are in a deadlock, but then break. They go again, Smith uses height for leverage but fans sing for “Oh~ Trent Seven Army!” Seven starts to push Smith back, but Smith powers through to put Seven on the ropes. The ref counts and Smith lets off clean. Seven pushes Smith so they tie up again. Seven headlocks, Smith powers out, but Seven rams him. Smith rebounds to run Seven over! But Seven grabs Smith’s foot to keep him from running again. Smith throws down hands to get free, then runs, but Seven drops and sets up.
Smith whips the back drop away, Seven CROSSBODIES! Seven gets up but Smith blocks the hip toss to scoop and pop Seven up! Seven slips out to shove, big hip toss! And a scoop SLAM! Seven drops the leg, brother! Cover, TWO! Fans rally and duel as Smith gets up and staggers around. Seven follows Smith to a corner, and CHOPS him!

Seven hurries to go for arms but Smith fights off the cobra clutch! Smith fights up, fans rally and Smith throws elbows and forearms! Seven whips but Smith reveres, to POWERSLAM! Fans fire up with Smith’s showing of strength, and he scoops to SNAKE EYES! Smith runs and CLOBBERS Seven! Cover, TWO! Carter coaches Smith to keep him focused, and fans are dueling hard as ever!
Smith drags Seven up, CLUBS him down, then stalks him. Smith stands Seven up, whips, back drops, then omoplatas to TWEAK the arm! Cover, TWO! Seven sputters but Smith drags him back up. Smith whips Seven to a corner hard, and Seven falls from hitting buckles. Smith stands Seven back up, EuroUppers, and Seven leans against Smith to stay up.

And again! Seven climbs up after Smith now, CLUBS him, and fans fire up as they brawl up top! Seven goes to the very top! He brings Smith up with him, SUPERPLEX! Cover, TWO!! Smith is still in this and fans are loving “NXT! NXT!” Bate coaches Seven, Carter coaches Smith, and both men slowly sit up. Smith is dazed but he gets to ropes with Seven. They both stand, and Seven storms over to kick low! Smith kicks back!
Seven forearms, but Smith forearms back! Seven hits again, but so does Smith! Seven shoves, then dodges the boot! Seven stays in ropes and the ref gets Smith back, but Seven then slips around to ref to sucker punch Smith! There’s that rule bending! Seven fires off on Smith in the corner, then SNAP DRAGON SUPLEXES! Seven hauls Smith up, EMERALD FLOSION! Cover, TWO!! Smith survives again! Fans are all fired up but Seven clamps back onto Smith.

Fans are thunderous as Seven survives Smith’s take on his move! Smith drags Seven up, reels him in, but Seven back drops! Smith sunset flips but Seven stays up while reach for ropes! Seven drops, and holds ropes! But Tyler is looking right at him, so Seven lets off! Smith finishes the sunset flip, TWO!! Seven survives, hurries to high stack, but he has tights!! Seven wins!!
Winner: Trent Seven, by pinfall
Tyler isn’t sure what to think here. Seven still snuck one, but it only makes them and their challengers 1-1. Are Moustache Mountain really be able to say Smith & Carter don’t deserve another shot? What will management decide?
NXT UK Media catches up with A-Kid.
How is he feeling ahead of his match with Teoman? He feels great. It’s been a few crazy weeks, but he’s very excited for what’s next. AK says he’s back and NXT UK will always be his home. He can’t let people like Teoman get away with things, like what he did to AK, to Saxon Huxley, what he’s done to Charley Dempsey. So the Spanish Sensation is ready to step up to the so-called head of Die Familie. “Teoman, no pasadas.” Will A-Kid make The Babo pay for crossing the line?
Wild Boar speaks.
“Eddie Dennis. If you think I can’t handle anything you can throw at me, you really aren’t as smart as you think you are. Master puppeteer. You keep throwing your puppets at me and I’ll keep cutting their strings one by one. ’til I get my hands on you, you will see me. When you go to bed, you’ll see me. When you wake up in a cold sweat, you’ll! See! BOAR! BOAR! BOAR!” This wild animal is coming and he’s hungry for his pound of flesh! Will Dennis have no choice but to face what he’s done?
NXT UK Media interviews Smith & Carter backstage.
Carter is of course upset by how Seven won. The reporter brings it up and Carter says we all saw what it was. We all saw it! Smith felt it, everyone knows! Bate & Seven walk in now and Smith confronts Seven about it. What was that? Uh, it was a win, that’s what. No, that was a hand full of tights! Smith asks Tyler what he thinks, but Seven says that’s just veteran work. If you wanna get the job done, you gotta get it done. They’re all arguing now but Sid Scala barges in to shout down the bickering. This issue has not been resolved, so they’ll all discuss this issue in Sid’s office next week. For now, move on.
Seven says he’s looking forward to it. Then he and Bate talk about this. Seven could’ve held ropes, but he didn’t. But the tights! Seven says he cannot afford to lose the titles, Bate knows that. A win is a win. Seven gets Bate to move on, but will this fail to convince Sid?
Kenny Williams VS Tate Mayfairs!
The Scum of the Earth has for once been on the other end of mind games and mean pranks, and he’s not happy about it. Will he send a message to whoever it is through this debuting superstar? Or will the (self-described) “Greatest Professional Wrestler to Ever Walk Planet Earth” be off to a strong start in NXT UK?
The bell rings and even that spooks Kenny. Kenny and Tate approach, and then Kenny ROCKS Tate with a forearm! Kenny stomps away on Tate, the ref counts, but Kenny lets off at 4. Kenny “apologizes” then snapmares Tate to scrape his face with soles! Kenny stands Tate up, Tate throws a body shot but Kenny CLUBS him back. Kenny shoves, headbutts low, then stomps Tate down. Fans taunt Kenny Cockroach but he whips. Tate sunset flips, TWO! Kenny swings but misses, Tate fires off jabs and haymakers! Tate bobs ‘n’ waves, has his own cocky swagger, and he whips. Kenny reverses but Tate goes up and over!
Tate runs back in but into a CHOP BLOCK! Kenny gets the leg, stomps away on it, then YANKS the leg! Tate clutches the knee but Kenny CLAWS his back. Kenny pushes Tate down for a smothering cover, TWO! Kenny argues the count then he jabs Tate in the top of his head over and over! Then a BIG crossface forearm! Cover, TWO! Tate is still in this and that just upsets Kenny more. Kenny hip drops hard on Tate! Fans boo but Kenny soaks up the heat to then get Tate’s arms. Kenny digs his head into Tate’s spine to push on the motorcycle stretch, then Kenny sits on Tate for even more pressure!
Tate endures, he fights his way up, and fans rally up behind him! Tate rolls and kangaroo kicks Kenny away! Kenny swings but Tate blocks to CHOP back! And again to ROCK Kenny with a right! Tate kicks but Kenny blocks and twists the leg! Tate fights to step up and CLBOBER Kenny! High stack, TWO! Kenny survives but Tate gets him up! Tate tries to turn Kenny but Kenny resists so Tate CLUBS him! Tate ROCKS Kenny and Kenny flops to the apron. Tate goes out after, but Kenny gets the leg! DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Kenny kicks Tate out of the ring then goes out. Kenny drags Tate up, scoops and SLAMS him on the floor!
Kenny leaves Tate behind as the ring count climbs past 5 of 10. Fans chant, “You Suck!” but Kenny decides to go out at 8! Kenny fetches Tate back in, says this was the biggest mistake of his life! BAD LUCK DRIVER! Cover, but Kenny lets off?! Kenny just wants to make Tate suffer. Fans fire up for Tate but Kenny throws him out! Kenny makes the scissor motion, but Tate ends up under the ring? Kenny sees that and laughs. Kenny storms over, grabs a leg, but he can’t drag Tate out? Is Tate holding onto something? Kenny lifts the apron skirt, and SAM GRADWELL is there! Kenny freaks out and fans fire up!
Gradwell keeps Kenny back and he puts Tate in! The ring count is still climbing, and Kenny is too scared to get close to Gradwell! The count is 10, Tate wins!!
Winner: Tate Mayfairs, by count-out
And now Gradwell chases Kenny to the back! Tate gets his first win on his first day, and fans are loving it! Count-out or not, will this help Tate prove he is the greatest? And as for Kenny, will he have nowhere to run and nowhere to hide from the Thunderstorm?
NXT UK Media interviews Wolfgang.
They apologize for interrupting as he leaves the Gallus locker room, but how are preparations going for Mark Coffey for tonight? Oh, Mark’s ready to take that cup from Dar. The Heritage Cup is coming home to Gallus! But then Die Familie walks over and Teoman says, “Heritage? Charlie, listen to him. He’s talking about heritage.” Dempsey asks Wolfgang. Why is it that Gallus always gets to represent British heritage around here? Wolfgang says not to get it twisted. Heritage or not, he’s ready for a fight, and he doesn’t need a reason. Dempsey says he’s the same. Wolfgang says those guys act like they own the shop. Gallus Boys on top! But will Wolfie have to prove it to Dempsey personally?
Andy Shepherd sits down with Dragunov and Strong.
He welcomes both champion and challenger ahead of their highly anticipated title match. Andy starts with Dragunov. “What’s your opinion of Roderick Strong?” Strong looks forward to this answer. Dragunov isn’t sure what to say. Strong’s work speaks for itself. Such a fighting spirit, such a discipline, such a will to push a performance, to push a fight to the next level. This is something inspiring to Dragunov because it is what he aspires to do every time he steps into the ring. Dragunov wants to push things to the next level, too.
Then what is Strong’s opinion of Dragunov? “Honestly, I see a lot of myself in him. And it’s just as inspiring. The fact that this man wants to push himself to a level that he’s never experience before for growth… It’s very important to me.” And there is no bigger test than Dragunov. Strong has Dragunov on the top of his list, and that NXT UK Champion is on the top of Strong’s list to add to his achievements. That is why Strong is here. Dragunov accepts that Strong respects him, but Strong doesn’t know much about the path Dragunov has been on.
As soon as Dragunov became NXT UK Champion, he became the Czar! He became something that proves what Unbesiegbar is about. “Because a Czar, he takes care of the people that support him. The fans, the audience, they gave me all the energy because they saw I’m fighting for something they believe in.” Strong says right now, Dragunov is living in the glory of the moment of being champion. But he’s never felt the disappointment of losing something as big as a championship. Strong has been a multiple time NXT Tag Team Champion, the NXT North American Champion, and the NXT Cruiserweight Champion. Was.
“Nothing hurts me more than when I say I was. Have you felt that? Because after our match, you will feel that. And to me, that’s the true test. How will you bounce back from that?” Dragunov admits, he has fear. But he takes that energy and puts it into something productive. Strong’s predictions are one thing, but the reality is… Both men stand up and Strong asks what is the reality. The reality is, Dragunov is not going to be the person laying down, but the one standing up and standing his ground! And especially against Strong. Both men are deadly serious, but who proves to be deadlier when they finally clash in the ring?
NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship: Noam Dar w/ Sha Samuels VS Mark Coffey w/ Joe Coffey!
For the Scottish Supernova, it was way back on October when he beat Wolfie in the sixth, and he recently beat “Iron King” Joe deep into the fifth. But now, the younger brother gets his shot! Will Markus do what not even Joseph could and take this cup? Or will Dar continue to do what he’s always done and inflate his ego?
The introductions are made, the cup is raised, and we see if Supernova 11 has Gallus’ number!
Fans rally and duel as the first round begins. Mark and Dar circle, Dar talks smack but Mark mocks the bear claws. They tie up, Dar waistlocks and drags Mark down to then give him noogies! Mark grabs at Dar but Dar gets away and taunts Mark from a distance. They circle more, tie up again, and Dar goes after an arm. Dar wrenches to a wristlock, but Mark reverses back. Dar headlocks for the takeover then traps an arm. Joe coaches Mark and he pushes up to put Dar on ropes. Dar shouts for the ref, the ref counts the ropebreak, and Mark lets off clean. Dar shoves Mark then dodges the haymaker. Dar brushes himself off and has a laugh.
Sha gives Dar his flask to sip, then he splashes Joe some! Joe is mad but Dar gets away to his corner before Mark can get him. They keep circling, Dar gets a headlock at the minute mark. Mark powers up but can’t get free. Mark pushes Dar to ropes, now he’s free, but Dar holds ropes. Dar dodges and table tops, then he high-fives Sha. Dar has Sha put in the call for the after party because this is too easy! We’re at 30 seconds left, they tie up again and Dar trips Mark to then knuckle lock, omoplata, and grab at the leg for a HALF CRAB! Mark endures, last ten seconds, fans count it down, and Mark endures to the bell!
Dar: 0; Mark: 0
Dar pats Mark and mockingly applauds as he regroups with Sha. Joe helps Mark refresh while Dar and Sha mock “Baby Coffey” and prepare the party already. The second round begins now and Dar mockingly asks if Mark is good. They circle, knuckle lock, and Dar rolls and wrenches to wrangle Mark down. Mark fights up but Dar wrenches to ELBOW BREAKER! Mark rolls, wrenches, snapmares Dar and wraps on a chinlock, but Dar slips right out to get the arm again. Mark endures, fights up, but Dar wrenches again. Mark rolls, snapmares, wants the chinlock but again Dar slips out.
Dar has the wristlock again, but Mark breaks free and DECKS Dark! Joe likes that, but Dar avoids the sliding dropkick! Dar baits Mark into a cradle, and gets the fall!
Dar: 1; Mark: 0
That second went fast, and Mark is clearly upset with himself. Dar and Sha talk, Joe helps Mark cool off. Don’t let Dar in your head, get in Dar’s face and get it done! Round three begins already, and Mark DECKS Dar again! Dar is dazed, Mark covers, TWO!! Mark rains down fists on Dar, but Dar gets away. Dar grabs an arm, but Mark waistlocks. Dar throws Mark off, clinches, but Mark blocks the knee strike! Mark carries Dar to ropes, then TOSSES him over head! Sha freaks out while Dar flounder sup. Dar dodges again but Mark turns table top into a roll, and a HALF NELSON SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Mark keeps cool as Dar survives that one. Mark runs back in, clinches and whips but Sha drags Dar out! The ref reprimands but Mark just slides and WRECKS Sha with a dropkick! Mark then fires off on Dar, puts him in, and dodges the back elbow to POLISH HAMMER! Mark then whips and GAMANGIRIS! Cover, Mark ties it up!
Dar: 1; Mark: 1
Keep your eyes open, these rounds are going fast! Sha helps Dar get back to his corner, wanting more recovery time. Joe says that ain’t happening, and the ref agrees! Round four starts with Sha still in the ring. Joe and Mark talk, and Dar rushes over! Mark avoids the ambush to then duck the roundhouse, but not the BACK ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Mark survives and Dar is frustrated. Dar aims and KICKS as Mark sits up. Mark stands but Dar KICKS the leg, then KICKS the chest! Mark blocks the next kick but Dar elbows him away! Dar runs in at the corner but into Mark’s lift and BACK SUPLEX!
Dar hurries to a corner again, but Mark runs in to EuroUpper! Mark then whips Dar to the other corner, for a back body block! Dar crawls, Mark goes up, but Dar kicks the legs out! Mark falls, Dar runs side to side, BOOT! Dar keeps moving, Mark LARIATS Dar inside out! Both men are down and fans fire up! Sha shouts, Mark covers, TWO! Dar still survives, time is ticking away, and the pressure is on Mark. Mark gets up as the minute mark approaches, and he goes to suplex. Dar blocks, wrenches out and kicks the leg! Mark ROCKS Dar with a right! Dar hits back but Mark ROCKS him again!
Dar staggers about, he ROCKS Mark, but Mark ROCKS Dar again! Dar KICKS the leg, fires haymakers but Mark gives them back! Fans rally up as they go back and forth with 30 seconds! Mark EuroUppers, whips, but Dar avoids the gamangiri! Dar gets the leg, CHAMPAGNE SUPER KNEEBAR!! Mark endures as there are 10 seconds left! Dar pulls on the leg, Joe coaches his brother, and Mark survives the round!!
Dar: 1; Mark: 1
Dar is still holding on! Joe gets in to protest, Dar lets off and gets away to his corner. Sha gets in Joe’s face but Joe snatches his newspaper! Joe tosses the papers around, that only upsets Sha more! The ref is busy with picking up the pieces, Sha talks with Dar and Joe helps Mark. The bell rings, here’s round five! Mark avoids Dar’s sweeping kick to ROCK him! Dar forearms, Mark hits back, we’re brawling again already! Dar kicks the leg, but Mark EuroUppers! Dar waistlocks, Mark switches, but Dar bucks the O’Conner for the BACK ELBOW! Cover, TWO!! Fans fire up but Dar is growing frustrated!
Fans rally, Dar puts pinkies out and takes aim, NOVA- No, Dar feints to go for the leg! But Mark uses that to get a stacked cover! TWO, but Mark gets Dar for a modified crossface! Chinbar and armlock, The Gates are locked in! Dar flails and reaches out, and Sha is begging Dar to endure! But Mark drags Dar away and locks the hold on again!! Dar flails, Sha gets up on the apron! Mark swings on Sha and Joe chases him! They end up in the ring, Mark knocks Sha down but he tells Joe to cool off! Dar goes to a corner! He takes aim, NOVA ROLLA!!! Cover, Dar wins!!
Winner: Noam Dar, by pinfall (still NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion)
With a minute and fifteen left, the Scottish Supernova steals one from Gallus! The East End Insurance Policy comes in handy again, though perhaps the Iron King has some of the blame. Either way, will no one ever be able to take this cup from Dar?
My Thoughts:
A great episode right here, though too bad we’re not getting Prelude. But still, great montage of superstars hyping up Dragunov VS Strong, and other than maybe Strong not delivering his promo all that well, great segment of Strong and Dragunov sitting down for a face-to-face meeting. Fairly sure Dragunov wins but it will be another instant classic for this NXT UK Championship. Isla has a good video message to call out Meiko, and I would think she’s asking for a second match for the title. But maybe Isla wants Meiko to agree to step up the ante, maybe a No Disqualification situation, to parallel Meiko VS Blair Davenport. Just no jumping apron spots.
Amale VS Xia was alright but I didn’t expect Xia’s help to come from the crowd like that. Seems they’re going to use a new signee as the next part of this story, not a British legend, so I suppose that’s actually a positive. WWE gets criticized for legends and/or part-timers taking spots, so this is a spot being given to someone new for a good spotlight. Speaking of which, Tate Mayfairs getting that same benefit from the Kenny Williams story is also great. Gradwell makes it clear it was him all along, Kenny loses without really losing but Tate gets a good introduction to NXT UK. Kenny VS Gradwell is going to be great, and I think Tate is going to become a strong part of the midcard while other names are on their way out.
And speaking of that, A-Kid has a good promo to essentially say his match with Teoman will be his good-bye to NXT UK and he’ll be on NXT 2.0 full time after Stand & Deliver. That said, Teoman probably wins so that Die Familie gets on that rise they talked about a month or so ago. Die Familie calls out Gallus again as we’re getting Dempsey VS Wolfgang. I still wonder if Gallus is sticking around or not. We saw in our main event that Dar wins again, though it was still a great match. Not sure what weaknesses Mark claimed to see, other than he was familiar with plenty of Dar’s moveset. But either way, it was cuz Sha and Joe distracted Mark that Dar won, so is Gallus going to go to NXT 2.0 in the post Stand & Deliver part of the year?
What was really good tonight was the stuff with Moustache Mountain and Smith & Carter. Seven got the sneaky win off Smith so we’re all tied up, but as I’m figuring, we’re going to get Sid Scala saying the tiebreaker will be the tag title rematch. They’re going to have a great match, it could go either way as Seven is clearly up for sneaking a win but Tyler is conflicted. I just hope they don’t rehash the story Kenny Williams and Amir Jordan had of being torn apart as a team and friends because of this. A Heel Tyler Bate would be pretty wild in NXT UK, and could help keep him here instead of being dragged to NXT 2.0 to eventually be ruined by Vince like Pete “Butch” Dunne.

Results:
The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System
Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb.
Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.
KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.
AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.
Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali
Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.
Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.
Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.
This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”.
ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee
ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.
Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!
Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber
Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.
.@milanmiracle and @AriannaGraceWWE make history as the first father/daughter tag team in TNA!

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa
Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.
Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.
International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona
A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.
Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!
Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!
Overall Score: 4.5/10
Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?
Go home TNA, you’re drunk.

The Rogue Luchador still has that target on his back, not only because he could go to the finals with his win and Yoh’s loss, but because he is THE IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.

And CHOPS again! Despy “falls over” and that puts on more pressure! Eagles flails while Despy just lounges. Eagles crawls over, pushes Despy out of his way, and has the ROPEBREAK!
The fans applaud and Red Shoes calls the break. Despy claims he needs help, but Eagles fires hands! Despy lets go, but he kneels on the bad leg! Eagles has the ropes again, Red Shoes counts, and Despy finally stands. Eagles crawls away, but he refuses to let Red Shoes stop this. Despy drags Eagles up but Eagles fires body shots and forearms!

Well, to clarify, the legs are usually the target, but Despy gets his knees up to jam Eagles! Both men are down and the fans rally up again. Eagles and Despy stir, then crawl for each other.

The Bone Soldier fails, and now Desperado is NOT going to the finals! Desperado will now be on the outside looking in, waiting for his next challenger.
Speaking of which, Kosei Fujita now makes his way out here to be face to face with Yoh. Yoh holds the ropes open for Fujita to step into the ring. Fujita and Yoh get face to face, and Fujita points at the tag title on Yoh’s shoulder, because he also wants that belt. Yoh knows, since he and Wato took it from Fujita & Eagles. But Yoh dismisses Fujita, they’ll meet again on June 1st. Yoh then takes up the mic to tell Fujita, “Ya bastard… I’ll show you true chaos! Now, just one more win. In Ota, the best wind will blow.” Yoh drops the mic to leave it at that. Will that wind be the winds of change? Or will Yoh fail to bring down The Mighty Japanese Young Punk?
Here are the FINAL B Block standings!
YOH: 6-3, 12 points [FINALIST]
El Desperado: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
MAO: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
Taiji Ishimori: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie Eagles: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
SHO: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Nick Wayne: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Kevin Knight: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Titan: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ryusuke Taguchi: 3-6, 6 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
A great night to wrap round nine and therefore the round robin portion. No repeat BOSJ finalists, which is actually great because now we’ve got a fresh match-up. Taguchi VS Knight was still a great match for not affecting outcomes, and Knight gets to return to AEW with a win. The flipside is Titan gets a win over Nick Wayne, I really do think it books itself, Nick VS Titan for the ROH World TV Championship on Grand Slam: Mexico. Christian Cage can even be condescending to Nick over how Nick didn’t make it to the finals, adding to that feud. Nick can beat Titan in the rematch, then get in Christian’s face to make a match for All In: Texas, or at least Supercard of Honor where ROH titles should be showing up anyway.
Great stuff with Mao and his team against Sho and the House of Torture. I was pleasantly surprised that Mao won, and I wonder if the House of Torture goes to a DDT Pro show to battle it out with Strange Love Connection. Mao winning also added great drama to the remaining matches, Despy VS Eagles was awesome stuff, probably the actual best match of the night. Yoh VS Taiji wasn’t quite as hot going by the crowd, but Yoh getting the win to shut the door on Despy was good. Yoh VS Fujita will be great, a bit hard to call, but that makes it fun.
My Score: 9/10
