PLAY BY PLAY

It’s the Stand & Deliver Kickoff Show!

Join McKenzie Mitchell, Beth Phoenix and Sam Roberts in discussing, analyzing and predicting the biggest event in NXT 2.0 history!

Kayla Braxton and Peter Rosenberg are even on site at AT&T Stadium for WrestleMania 38 later today, but they join in on the Stand & Deliver predictions!

 

NXT share Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams taking in the sights.

Trick says, “Yo, Melo. You realize that for the past five months, you’ve been running the game? Imagine tomorrow at Stand & Deliver. You get your final Infinity Stone, brother. It’s time for you to snap.” Melo says it is. Everything that the light touches will be his. Being up here in Reunion Tower, it reminds him of the height that he’s brought the title to, and the heights he will continue to take it. He will stand atop the ladder and be atop as the greatest North American Champion of all time. And everyone will realize, when Melo shoots, he don’t miss.

 

Malcolm Bivens joins the panel.

Today is big money, it doesn’t get any bigger than this. He can’t wait to have the ducketts, the cheddar, the mulah, the coins in his pocket. Sam says that could happen, but there are other things to consider. Just standing by Imperium, money was the last thing on his mind. Sam felt in danger, and he was just talking to them! How can the Creed Brothers contend with a force that? Uh, he just said they were broke! MONEY is the most powerful force! No, Sam didn’t say that. He said they were scary. Well he’s easily scared. He looks scared now! But it is hard to argue against former tag champions in MSK.

No disrespect to Imperium, Beth is with MSK. They won the Dusty Cup, won the titles, they innovate, this is their night as Beth sees it. Sam is going with the Creeds cuz Bivens is staring him down. Big money! McKenzie is sure everyone is torn. But why didn’t McKenzie ask Bivens his choice? Well, uh… But wait! Edris Enofe interrupts on the tron! Tonight ain’t about the Creeds, MSK or Imperium! It’s about his boy, Malik da Freak! Bro, c’mon! Is this gift basket enough? Enofe says that ain’t what she’ll be worried about. Dude, c’mon! Malik just thought this would be nice. It is nice. Maybe they should just leave it.

No way! Man up! Walk in! What’s the worst that can happen? He walks in, and Enofe just pranked Malik! This was the IMPERIUM dressing room! April Fools! Man, it’s April 2nd! Now he’s scarred for life…

 

NXT hears from Grayson Waller.

He sits on a longhorn bull statue as he says, “A ladder match for the North American Championship at Stand & Deliver, and what better place than the Lone Star State.” Melo’s been great and all but his time is up. It’s time the title went viral! Waller likes the view here but he’ll like it better on the ladder. Only one man will do what it takes and that man is Waller! WrestleMania Weekend is gonna feel the Grayson Waller Effect, #AndNEW.

 

NXT hears from Santos Escobar & Legado del Fantasma.

“Last year, I climbed a ladder and made history. But this year’s ladder match is more important.” Stand & Deliver, with the whole world watching, they will witness Escobar become the greatest luchador of all time! Escobar leaves four others in the dust, climbs the ladder, and grabs the North American Championship! He’ll do it for history, for legacy, and for family. Legado del Fantasma!

 

#InDex is at Byrd’s Wester Store.

Indi Hartwell & Dexter Lumis are getting ready to take on #Dusia. They are gonna look so hot at Stand & Deliver. They will make Dexter the sexiest cowboy in Texas. He gives a thumbs up, and they get to browsing. Nice leather belt. He planning on using that on her tonight? But meanwhile, Duke Hudson & Persia Pirotta are also shopping. They’ve been here an hour but that’s never been a problem for them before, right? Hat, boots, and Dexter! What’re they doing here? Same back to you! Persia is gonna make Duke the sexiest. No, Dexter will be! Sexy Dexy! Sexy Duke! That sounds horrible. No it doesn’t!

Montage of outfits, and Dexter almost gets Duke with a belt! Things get a bit frisky, but in the end, the looks are in. What will the WWE Universe think?

#Dusia is here live, as is #InDex. Use the right hashtags to vote for your favorite couple. Persia and Indi argue, the boys stare down, and Akbar Gbaja-Biamila has joined the panel. He’s Team InDex all the way!

NXT hears from Cameron Grimes.

“They say that the journey is better than the destination. Well this journey’s definitely been a struggle, and tomorrow will be no different. Five men want the same thing: to be called a champion. The other four men, they want acknowledgment, fame, clout and legacy. But I, I have a promise to fulfill. I told my father I would be champion. And this is my last chance at Stand & Deliver. Dad, I’m taking the North American Championship to the moon.”

 

High noon in the Lone Star State.

This is WrestleMania Weekend, and the superstars of NXT stand on the doorstep to immortality. They all vow to stand, to deliver on promises they’ve made to us, and to themselves. “We stand on the shoulders of giants.” They vow to stand victorious, to stand as champions, and to deliver instant classics, and to take one step closer to greatness. This IS NXT Stand & Deliver!

Joe Gacy speaks.

“Here it is, Harland. The famous Dealey Plaza. In November, 1963, the world stopped as there was a tragedy in these streets. And on that day, the nation, the world, came together as one. But why is it that only tragedy unites us when it should be triumph? There has to be a better way. I put that on my shoulders. I make it my responsibility. I will unite people. I can only hope you freely choose peace so we don’t have to suffer loss or tragedy ever again. But that depends on all of you, now doesn’t it?” Gacy sends out quite the veiled threat.

Toxic Attraction just lost two belts, this is the last one they have! The Toxic Goddess says she’s the baddest, but she’s up against some bad bitches in their own right. #GenerationJade wants this to be her time, the Evil Genius wants to be back on top, and the Scary Queen of Scots wants to make history by having held both NXT UK and NXT titles in her career!

Mandy survives again! She made sure everyone else was done for before she pounced! Mandy holds up the gold, will anyone ever take it from her?

 

Backstage interview with Indi Hartwell, Dexter Lumis, Persia Pirotta and Duke Hudson.

McKenzie is with #InDex and #Dusia, and Persia gives Duke one more kiss for luck. The winner of the fan poll is… INDEX! 89% to 11% is a landslide, but Persia insists there needs to be a recount! There’s no way this is right! Duke slaps the hat off Dexter but Dexter goes to choke Duke! The ladies keep them apart, but they argue the results just as much. Referees rush in to keep this from getting any more heated, but will the only way to settle this be in the ring?

 

LA Knight VS GUNTHER!

The Megastar may have a big mouth, YEAH, but he doesn’t back down from a fight. And he is definitely going to get a fight from Der Ring General! Will LA Knight survive this shootout in Dallas? Or will Gunther redeem Imperium with his own hands?

The bell rings and the two circle. Fans rally and chant “WAL~TER!” Knight and Gunther egg each other on, they tie up, and they’re in a deadlock.

NXT Championship: Dolph Ziggler w/ Robert Roode VS Bron Breakker!

The Show-Off showing up in NXT was surprising enough, but him winning this title was shocking! Of course, he did have GLORIOUS back-up helping him. But that was in a Triple Threat. Will the Dirty Dawgs be able to pull off another screw job? Or will the biggest moment in young Bron’s career be his moment to shine?

Bron wears all white in his singlet, but he grabs himself an NXT 2.0 colored chainsaw! And he uses that chainsaw to literally cut down an old school NXT logo! The Dawgs then make their entrance, the introductions are made, and then Ziggler SLAPS Bron! The ref has to keep Bron back, then the belt is raised. The bell rings, and Bron TACKLES Ziggler to the corner! Bron fires off on Ziggler, Ziggler bails out but Bron chases after! Fans fire up, Bron puts Ziggler in the ring, but Ziggler gets right on Bron with fists! Ziggler digs his knee in, but lets off as the ref counts. Ziggler whips, Bron reverses but Ziggler leaps to hit a rolling Blockbuster!

The two get up as Ziggler holds the facelock. Bron powers out but Ziggler kicks him! Bron staggers but he comes back, dodges, and catches the hurdle for a SPINEBUSTER!

But Roode goes after Bron!

The ref gets Roode to stop, and he EJECTS him! Fans fire up but Roode is furious! Bron goes out to chase Roode off, but Ziggler is pulling buckle pads away! Ziggler waits for Bron to return but Bron gets under the superkick! BIG back suplex! Bron looms over Ziggler, drags him up and bumps him off buckles. Bron puts Ziggler up top, climbs up after him, but Ziggler slips out and trips Bron up! Bron gets stuck on the top, Ziggler steadies himself and comes back, for a SUPER NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Ziggler hurries to wrap on a SLEEPER HOLD! Bron endures, Ziggler pushes up for pressure, but Bron is still in this.

Bron fights up, fans rally and Bron pries free to throw body shots! Ziggler kicks Bron’s leg out to then turn him, NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Ziggler drops an elbow! Cover, TWO! But Ziggler clamps onto a CROSSFACE! Bron endures, fans rally again, and Bron moves around. Bron gets back up, throws more body shots, but Ziggler shoves him into ropes! Bron clutches his neck but Ziggler fires off more hands! Ziggler lets off and runs in, but into a back elbow! Bron goes up but Ziggler trips him up again! Bron hits buckles on the way down and he again clutches his neck. Ziggler eggs Bron on as he gets back up.

Ziggler digs his knee in at the ropes but the ref counts. Ziggler lets off, and he drags Bron into the SLEEPER HOLD! Bron endures, Ziggler squeezes tighter and even gets the body scissors. Bron pries at the hold, reaches out for ropes, but he’s also turning purple! Ziggler drags Bron from ropes and then bridges to put on more torque! Bron still endures so Ziggler resets to have the chinlock. Ziggler shakes his head, this has to be the end. But Bron fights up, pries free and throws more body shots! Ziggler kicks low, kicks the legs out, then scrapes laces on Bron’s face! Fans boo but Ziggler soaks up the heat.,

Ziggler turns Bro, swivels hips, but Bron powers out to run Ziggler over! And again! Bron reels Ziggler back in, OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Bron whips, tilt-o-whirl scoop, for a SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO! Bron grows frustrated but he also clutches his neck. Ziggler is in the corner, Bron storms over. Bron drags Ziggler up, fans duel, and Bron puts Ziggler up top. Bron climbs up after Ziggler, and he goes to the very top! Shout out to his uncle, SUPER STEINER! Cover, TWO! Ziggler survives again and the frustration is growing in Bron. Bron glares as he aims from a corner. Ziggler gets up, Bron runs in, into a KNEE!

Ziggler is shocked that Bron didn’t fall! Bron runs, Ziggler hurdles, SPEAR on the return! Cover, TWO!! Ziggler survives again and no one can believe it! Bron grits his teeth, drags Ziggler up and choke grips. Ziggler wants mercy, but then he YANKS Bron out of the ring! Bron gets back in, into a RUNNING BOOT! Cover, TWO!! Ziggler is beside himself as Bron survives that shot. Ziggler slaps sense into himself and goes to a corner. Fans rally and Ziggler starts tuning up the band! Bron stands, but he blocks the superkick! Bron shoves Ziggler away then SPEARS him again! Fans fire up and bark it up as Bron drags Ziggler up!

Bron trophy lifts Ziggler and carries him, for the BREAKKER SLAM! Cover, but Roode returns?! Roode drags Ziggler out of the ring! The ref tries to stop Bron, Roode argues with the ref, and Roode says Ziggler doesn’t need this. But Bron builds speed to FLY! Direct hit on both Dawgs! Bron almost loses his singlet but the fans are fired up again! Bron drags Ziggler back into the ring, then he goes after Roode! Bron RAMS Roode into steel steps! The ring count is climbing, Bron gets in at 9 of 10. Ziggler is there, FAMOUSER!! And ZIGZAG!! Cover, TWO!?!? Bron survives and Ziggler is losing his mind!

Fans chant for “NXT! NXT!” as Ziggler goes back to a corner. Ziggler goes up the corner, leaps, MACHO ELBOW! Cover, TWO!! Bron is still in this but Ziggler gets to another corner. Ziggler tunes up the band again, fans fire up, but Bron is standing right up! Ziggler shakes his head, he can’t believe this! Bron LARIATS, then SPEARS! And then Bron drags Ziggler back up, trophy lifts him again, but Ziggler rakes eyes! BARE BUCKLE SHOT! SUPERKICK!!! Cover, Ziggler wins!!?

Winner: Dolph Ziggler, by pinfall (still NXT Champion)

He had Roode and a bare buckle help him survive, and Ziggler sure stole this title! Will the Show-Off continue to hold this title by any means necessary? What will it take for Bron to get back on top?


My Thoughts:

A great event for NXT to get back out on the road with, but sadly so much of it showed that this is Vince’s NXT, not HHH’s. The kickoff show was good, with great promos from the North American Championship field, and a rather… controversial basis for Gacy’s promo. But I suppose as a Heel, Gacy would indirectly want to bring up JFK’s assassination… Then that whole montage with #InDex and #Dusia, at least it all happened on the kickoff show and not part of the main show. We got a great Women’s Tag Team Championship match, and it seems that Wendy Choo is totally okay with Dakota going back to Raquel. Great win for Raquel & Dakota, they become two-time tag champs together, and perhaps will get to make up for their insanely short first run back in the black ‘n’ gold days.

But with Toxic Attraction losing the tag titles, I figured they were going to hold onto the singles title. The Fatal 4 Way was awesome stuff, and it was clear from the entrances that it was between Cora and Mandy. But seeing as how Mandy had Robert Roode’s old GLORIOUS Podium while Cora had other skateboarders kinda awkwardly going around the stage, Mandy had the stronger entrance and she capitalized on Shirai taking Cora down. Shirai is certainly moving on to RawDown, KLR and Cora can still try 1v1, but it sadly feels like it’ll be a long time before Mandy loses this belt the way they’re booking her.

Opening with the North American Championship Ladder match was an awesome choice because that was an awesome match. It was “overbooked” with Sanga, Legado and Trick all ringside, but it worked out for amazing extra spots like Lopez leaping from the top and Trick falling from the ladder. The one spot that was the roughest thing all night was Waller and those ladder bridges. Obviously, any spot with a ladder or table runs the risk of injury, but this one was really bad. Hopefully he’s only banged up, not dealing with a dislocation or break. Waller’s been on a strong Heel run, it’d be a shame if it stopped now. Especially with Grimes winning that belt! What a great moment for him, and it was pretty clear it was happening with this all being dedicated to his dad.

Ciampa VS Tony was some really good stuff, both with good custom intros, but man, that was an anticlimactic way for Tony to win. I get it, tradition says the guy leaving loses. But c’mon! It’s Ciampa! And couldn’t they have booked a better finish than that? I almost didn’t realize the DDT happened until Ciampa was the one in a bad way. Tony wins and I’m sure he’ll go for a title now, while Ciampa will surely be full time on Raw since we even saw him in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal last night. Maybe Ciampa can hit the ground running with a midcard title feud. Balor seems busy with Priest and Theory so maybe SmackDown to face Ricochet?

The NXT Tag Team title Triple Threat was awesome stuff, too, but I really thought we were going to get interference from the Creed Brothers’ stalkers. Guess that’s being saved for the post-Mania NXT, even though it made way more sense if it was here. But even so, still made sense for MSK to win. Imperium was at the disadvantage, and clearly Creeds have this feud coming up, MSK can carry these belts and either feud with Imperium more or take on any number of the other teams in NXT. Knight VS Gunther was great stuff, and of course Gunther was winning. Fans still want to chant “WAL~TER!” and I still wanna type it, but one way or another, Der Ring General is going to be climbing up the ranks.

But then there’s the main event. I just don’t get it. Bron got another of his “I’m smashing the past to be the future” type entrances, he and Ziggler were doing great stuff, going back and forth, and there were still some rough edges being smoothed out at the beginning with miscues, but I just don’t get why Ziggler won. It’s obvious how he won, but why? Why book Bron like he’s NXT Superman and going to defy everything to get that belt back, only for this to happen? Vince’s brain just seems out of alignment when it comes to writing this stuff. I bet if you gave him peanut butter, jelly and bread, he’d somehow use them to make a salad.

My Score: 8.7/10

Coverage

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.8.2025

We get to see Alicia Fox in action and a dog collar match! Definitely an odd combination, so let’s see what happens!

Published

on

As I feel like I say every week, the best parts of TNA are on NXT. I really can’t tolerate Dreamer and Delirious’ idea of creative. This shows have been slapdash early 00s MTV humor and nonsense angles. We open the show with Trick Williams, so of course you know he’s gonna be a dick and Hendry’s gonna try and get even.

At least this spawned an interesting concept with the TNA Heavyweight Championship being defended on NXT Battleground. So it’s nice that Hendry and TNA are getting exposure, but honestly it’s only Hendry, and the constant milking on the TNA side of “hearing from Hendry” is making me ill.

I feel like I’ve seen Johnny Gobs all over since Nekrogoblikon came out with new music. Not mad at it, just didn’t have that on my Bingo card.

 

Ratings:

  • Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck – *
  • Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors: Aztec Warriors win via Laredo Driver + Arabian Moonsault – * 1/2
  • Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands: Ali wins via Crucifix Blade Runner – ** 3/4
  • Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks: Victoria wins via Flying Axe Kick – Squash
  • Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury: Maclin retains via KIA – ***

Results:

Hey look, Trick comes out and does exactly what I said. He’s arrogant, he’s basically doing his own version of a Ric Flair promo. I do like the line about having two girls, one named Lexis who drives a Mercedes and Mercedes who drives a Lexus. It’s that right balance of dumb and clever to make me chuckle. Hendry of course comes out with his game face on, security tries, fails, and Hendry gets a measure of revenge.

Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck

Okay even though I don’t mind Xia as a wrestler anymore, Brookside is on commentary and she’s…awful. She’s like an Arianna Grace with no charisma. Her little integrity shtick got lame halfway through the word the first time she said it.

This match goes about how you expect which is why it’s not much to discuss. Rosemary does her usually brawling, biting and using the 5 counts with the Upside Down. But as expected, she tries to use the Brass Knucks, Xia comes off of commentary to stop her from using the weapon, and Lei catches her with Thunderstruck. I guess this was supposed to keep the Xia angle with some heat, but it’s really dumb. I don’t want to see any more of this Angel vs Demon, which one will turn crap. It’s boring, it’s cliche and for babies.

At least Lei Ying Lee is gorgeous and one hell of a wrestler. Hopefully she gets away from Rosemary and Xia soon.

Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors

Laredo and Octagon take early turns on Jason Hotch, Octagon even pulls off some rope acrobatics like he thinks he’s Rey Fenix. Hands try to take a few shortcuts, but the actions stays quick, the Cali crowd is behind the Luchadors. Stereo Tijeras, Five Hole Dive from Laredo into an Asai Moonsault from Octagon. Laredo Driver into Handstand Arabian Moonsault, and Aztec Warriors win handily.

After the fact Ali attacks the Aztec Warriors, Tasha and the Hands are trying to calm down Ali but then the Rascalz run out. Maybe we’re getting an early start to the Trey vs Ali match. 

Image

Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands

Hopefully this is something worth actually typing about instead of WCW Thunder level of rushed throwaway trash.

They trade early chops, but Ali is pissed, no sells Trey and rocks him with a Forearm. Trey tries to Baseball Slide through the legs and roll into a Sunset Flip, but Ali rolls through, comes up with Trey and Powerbombs him moving immediately into Ground and Pound. Ali goes for a Reverse Powerslam, but Trey escapes it, tries to use his quickness, trips up Ali for a second as he goes to the apron and then he catches Trey in the ropes and hits the Draping DDT off the apron. Outside In Neckbreaker from Ali into a Standing Tornillo.

Ali throws Trey into the ropes, Trey tries something but Ali catches him, flips him vertical and then Dragon Suplex looks nasty. Ali heads back to the apron, wants the Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker, but Trey catches him with a Cutter! Trey puts a little Shake Rattle and Roll together, Ali tries to block the last one so Trey hits the ropes and lands a Lionsault. Ali powders and eats a Dive, Trey throws him back in, Meteora! 1-2-kick out! Trey gets a little frustrated but tries a front facelock, they trade cradles, Ali throws him to the ropes, Trey tries that Rewind Tiger Feint, but Ali hits a Missile Dropkick. Ali tells the Hands to finish things but Wentz comes out flying. Ali drives Wentz into the post, throws Trey back in and mouths off to Wentz. When he turns he eats Trey’s Knee Slide Tornado DDT.

Tasha distracts the ref, Hands attack Trey with a Double Choke Bomb on the Apron and Ali kills Trey with Crucifix Blade Runner.

Hardys come out to talk, they get a solid pop from the crowd, but nothing interesting gets said. The old “we let you down” promo and they’re trying to get across a fandom nickname of “Diehardyz” and that’s corny. They punctuate their part before the Nemeths of course come out with some Obsolete and Delete references. Ryan starts talking and gets booed loudly, so that’s nice, they both play in it well. Ryan makes some goofy faces, Nic and him poke fun at the Hardys and the fact that Jeff can’t come to Canada because he’s prohibidabido. 

So Santino comes out, says next week Jeff and Nic will have a singles match, so Matt will get a tag match against the Nemeths with a partner of his choosing. Kind of a stock standard promo, but the Nemeths and Santino made it fun. 

Huh, coming back from commercial there’s a video package from WWE showing the last time Jeff Hardy and Nic Nemeth had a match. 16 years ago. 

Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks

Brittnie is Chris Bey’s girlfriend and Alicia was always one of my favorites.

Victoria clocks Brittnie early, but Brittnie fires back, Victoria gets annoyed, hits her beautiful Northern Lights Suplex Hold for only a two. Victoria drives Brittnie into the corner, Brittinie tries to fight out, but Victoria catches her with a Tumbling Headscissors Take Over and then a Flying Axe Kick. Victoria’s gorgeous self wins, and Victoria looked pretty decent in the squash.

Masha comes out, attacks Victoria, so Tessa makes a save. Santino makes a tag match next week Blanshard and Crawfish vs Slamabitch and a partner of her choosing. Robert Stone overrides Santino and picks her partner for her and chooses Nikkita Lyons. 

Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury

EY sandbags in the corner at the bell and then catches Maclin with an opportune yank of the chain and then starts a little dirty boxing and chain choking. Cardona is out on commentary because there’s a number 1 contender match next week for the International title. EY grinds the chain across Maclin’s face and the bridge of his nose, and he’s bleeding 40 seconds into the match.

Maclin powders but since it’s a dog collar match the jabronis get involved immediately. Maclin is bleeding like his last name is Rhodes, the jabronis get in some pot shots and EY just whips him with the chain, uses the post, just goes for classic deliberately paced hardcore brawl tactics. Maclin does manage to get a small flurry, EY does the Flair Corner Flop, then EY and the jabronis eat a SCUD before we go to commercial.

We come back, Maclin is back to getting murdered, and now all the potential number 1 contenders and either on commentary, the ramp or in the back watching a monitor. Even Mance Warner looks a little concerned and horny at the same time with the blood. Maclin is so bloody he looks like a post explosion scene from The Boys. Maclin fires, whips EY in the ropes, grabs him mid run, Headbutts him a few times, Jumping Thesz Press into the Ground and Pound with some chain whips. Jabronis come in and eat a Busakiu and Backbreaker, EY tries to take advantage but EY eats an Olympic Slam. Another Busaiku for EY, Jar Headbutt connects! EY kicks out at two, then powders but Maclin follows and wraps the chain around his neck and starts throwing EY around by the throat. Dorks fly at Maclin, he deflects them, but EY yanks the chain and Maclin falls off the apron. EY throws him back in, another two count. EY heads to the top, Maclin crotches him, bald Jabroni eats a Powerbomb, hair Jabroni heads a Buckle Bomb. EY slips the Tree, so Maclin puts the jabronis in the corner, Stacked Tag Em and Bag Em, Nerds get Caught in the Crosshairs!

EY sees the chance, kick to the gut, Piledriver! 1-2…KICK OUT! EY calls for the Macho Elbow but Maclin gets up, pulls him off the top with the chain and KIA! Maclin retains!

 

Overall Score: 4/10

A generally disappointing episode. The first hour felt like WCW Thunder written by Meth addicted Racoons. But the second hour starting with Mustafa, turned out to be okay. I’ve always enjoyed Alicia Fox aesthetically and she wasn’t bad in the ring, Mustafa being edgy is cool, Ryan Nemeth is a treasure, Tessa is still great and the dog collar match was decent.

So a mixed bag definitely. Rosemary is honestly useless anymore. She only gets a pop because of the gimmick, but her storylines have sucked, her matches aren’t great and this whole Infantile Sting knockoff of trying to stick to her morals and integrity and not do the mean things. Aztec Warriors are basic lucha stuff with no gimmick beyond the fact they’re luchadors. Lastly, the Trick Flair opening segment was okay at best but really just just paint by numbers.

It’s a sad turn of events when my favorite wrestling program anymore is WWE main roster stuff. Yikes…2025 is weird.

Toni Storm is here!

Or rather, she’s still here given just last night, the TIMELESS AEW Women’s World Champion won a Fatal 4 Way Eliminator. And now she’s in the special box seat “balcony” with mic in hand. Detroit cheers and she blows kisses before saying, “So many men have taken a shot at me in here, I’m feeling like Abraham Lincoln. I will never forget my first. It was messy, it was sweaty, and painful. But I only wanted more. Once a month, once a week, twice a week, I was hooked. But then, it only became more risky. One at a time, then two at a time. And three at a time! Incorporating random objects, all the while being watched by perverts.”

The fans cheer being perverts but then Toni says, “One day, it will not end well for me. It will break my body and soil my soul. But in the end, I know it’s what I was born to do. And if you think I was referring to sexual intercourse, then get your minds out of the gutter!” Toni takes a moment before she continues, “Because the best bang could not compare to fighting for this!” She holds up the title and the fans cheer more! “I am not waiting for a Hayter or a CEO. So next week, line up the next batch of slop tarts, because baby wants to binge!” The fans also like the sound of that! Toni says spit on it and sit on it, and let’s get TIMELESS~!

The fans applaud and Toni takes a bow. Beach Break just got that much bigger, but who will take their shot at The Tramp that is The Champ?

 

Backstage interview with Paragon.

Lexy Nair is with Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly to ask them about the 2 Out of 3 Falls last Saturday. Roddy says that to say they’re disappointed is an understatement. He and Kyle are one of the best teams on this planet, and they thought it’d be like riding a bike. But it has been a bit more difficult than they thought. Kyle agrees that they’re frustrated and disappointed, but what they aren’t doing is taking anything away from themselves. They’re the Paragon and they’re still one of the best tag teams out there. And any other day, any other time, 99 out of 100, Kyle & Roddy win that match.

Cole agrees, and he knows that was tough last week. But they are one of the best teams in the world. There will be plenty of chances to prove that this year. But in step the Grizzled Young Veterans and Zack Gibson says say that again. He can’t believe Paragon has the nerve to stand here sulking and complaining. Honestly, this three are three of the best ever. The problem is, they’ve gone soft! They’ve forgotten what it is to fight for their sport. So any time they’re ready, GYV will remind them what that’s like. Kyle & Roddy say why not. GYV will be the first time that gets stomped on Paragon’s way back to the top!

GYV laugh that off then take their leave. But when and where will Liverpool’s Number One & Mr. Mayhem take on the Savior of the Backbreaker & the Violent Artist?

 

Ricochet VS Angelico w/ Serpentico!

The One & Only just got a big win last night alongside the Young Bucks, but now he looks to get a win on his own. Will Ricochet make Detroit #OuttaThisWorld two nights in a row? Or will tonight belong to Spanish Announce Project’s South African Stud?

The bell rings and the fans rally as Angelico and Ricochet circle. They feel things out, circle more, then Angelico leaves Ricochet hanging by smoothing his hair. Ricochet says ha ha, more bald jokes. Ricochet waistlocks, the fans chant, “He Has Hair!” but Ricochet hammerlocks and snapmares to then ghost pin, TWO! Ricochet taunts Angelico that this is professional wrestling, not modeling. Angelico trips Ricochet to cover, ONE! Angelico has a cording hold and he keeps Ricochet from the ropes. Ricochet wrenches, but Angelico gets the cording hold back! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico arm-drags him to the mat!

The fans cheer more, but Ricochet kips up. Angelico wrangles him back down! Ricochet claws at Angelico but Angelico polishes the bald head! The fans cheer and Angelico keeps on the arm. Ricochet fights up again, but Angelico wrangles him back down! Angelico gives Ricochet more polish, then stands him up to wrench and cording hold. Ricochet throws a body shot, flips up and over, but Angelico switches arms for a modified Cobra Twist! Angelico holds up his hand and the fans cheer, but Ricochet fights free and bails out. The fans boo but then Angelico sneaks up to clamp on shoulder claws!

Ricochet fights back, and he THROWS Angelico to the floor! Ricochet skins the cat, then TORNILLO PLANCHAS! Ricochet takes down Angelico, taunts Serpentico, then goes storming off to grab a chair! Ricochet chases off #SNAKEMAN, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Ricochet gets up on the barrier to soak up more heat, and he even flicks sweat off his bald head! Ricochet puts Angelico in the ring, stalks him to ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Ricochet backs off, and Serpentico coaches Angelico. Angelico sputters but Ricochet brings him up for a snapmare. Ricochet digs his knee into Angelico’s back as part of the chinlock. Angelico endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Angelico is free, runs the ropes, but Ricochet DROPKICKS him down! Ricochet taunts the fans, covers Angelico, TWO! Angelico is tougher than that but Ricochet covers again, ONE! And again, ONE! And again, ONE!!

Ricochet throws a fit and SLAPS Angelico down before arguing with the ref. The ref defends the count, so Ricochet just stomps away on Angelico’s back! Ricochet taunts the fans, goes back to stomp Angelico and kick him around, then he kicks Angelico to the ropes. Angelico rises to BODY BLOW! And JAB! Ricochet staggers back, Angelico fires more shots! Angelico runs, KICKS the backdrop away, then runs again, only for Ricochet to FLAPJACK him off ropes and JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Angelico survives and Collision returns to single picture. Ricochet storms his way to a corner while the fans boo.

Ricochet aims and 450- NO, he has to bail out as Angelico moves! Ricochet comes back but Angelico dodges again, Ricochet hits only buckles! Angelico swings, Ricochet dodges and shoves to TIGER WALL KICK! And SOBAT! KNEE! But Angelico KNEES in return! Ricochet rebounds to V-TRIGGER! ROLLING- NO, Angelico clinches for a LIFTING FLATLINER! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts, Ricochet and Angelico stir, and they rise at 5 of 10. Angelico counters a punch and then fires haymakers! Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but then Ricochet catches the leap!

Angelico fights Ricochet’s clinch with elbows, then whips, but Ricochet reverses, Angelico LEAPING LARIATS! And LEAPING LARIATS again! The fans fire up and Angelico storms up to Ricochet. Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but Angelico reverses back! COBRA TWIST, and the HEAD SLAPS! The fans fire up as Angelico just takes Ricochet to task! Ricochet sputters and staggers around, Angelico kicks and Canadian Racks! YOYO SLAM, into a hammerlock and HALF CRAB! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico gets the other arm! Ricochet kicks with his free leg and has the ROPEBREAK! The fans boo but Angelico lets go.

Ricochet goes to the apron, Angelico storms up, but Ricochet HOTSHOTS him! And then FLICKS the ropes at Angelico to hit down low! Ricochet then springboards and FLYING LARIATS! The fans boo but Ricochet runs for a STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Ricochet just keeps going, dragon sleeper for the VERTIGO!! Ricochet rolls back, locks ‘n’ loads, and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

Ricochet made sure Angelico was done before he got the 1-2-3, and now he gets the mic. “Go ahead. C’mon, I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!” The fans boo and taunt him more and Ricochet says he welcomes it all! Their boos mean NOTHING to him, because he sees what they cheer for. And c’mon, if you cheer for the Detroit Lions, that means you’re dumb as hell. If you were smart, if you had any amount of common sense, you’d be cheering for him! The fans keep taunting him with “They’re Not Bald!” But Ricochet says the Eagles won the Super Bowl, what’re they talking about? They should be cheering him, because he’s been here less than a year and he’s beaten most of the favorites!

Brody King, Will Ospreay, Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, Mark Briscoe, Swerve Strickland, and even Kenny Omega! All of them are AEW legends, and Ricochet beat them all! But wait, speaking of legends… Ricochet points out the living legend, Zach Gowen! Ricochet remembers growing up, watching wrestling, he was a huge fan of Zach Gowen. Huge fan. He remembers when big Brock would beat him up and down the arena, that was awesome. But the thing is, Daddy Gowen used to be on this side of the barriers, but now he’s on the other side of them. What happened, Zach? Doesn’t have a leg in the fight anymore?

Ricochet laughs at his own offensive joke, and then asks where that fire is now. He pushes Zach around, security rushes in and Ricochet says he wasn’t doing anything! They’re just talking! Then he BOPS each and every guard! They like that? Ricochet THROWS one guy into railing! Ricochet does his own commentary as he sends another one into the steel steps! Then he puts the third one in the ring, and says Zach might like this. The fans boo but now Ricochet brings out THE SCISSORS! Ricochet cuts this guy’s hair up! But Zach jumps into the ring!! The fans cheer as Zach snatches the scissors from Ricochet!

The fans cheer as Zach asks what is wrong with Ricochet! Ricochet says sorry, sorry! But then he KICKS Zach’s leg out! And then SPIRIT GUN!! The fans boo even more but Ricochet isn’t done with Zach. He takes Zach’s prosthetic leg away! The fans boo as loud as they can as Ricochet leaves with the leg! Ricochet isn’t just humiliating Zach Gowen, he’s committing a crime! Ricochet holds the leg up as a trophy, then mockingly limps with it. Will anyone ever humble the ego that is #OuttaThisWorld?

 

8 Man Tag: The Don Callis Family VS The Outrunners, Bandido & AR Fox!

Don Callis himself dared Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd to find a friend so they could settle things with Roppongi Vice and the Family, but the Outrunners did better than that! They found TWO friends! Will the Most Wanted ROH World Champion and the Whole Fox’n Show help the Youngest Men Alive humble Callis’ cronies? Or will Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher use them to take out all of their frustrations?

Callis of course joins commentary while the teams sort out. Callis calls tonight “Don Callis Championship Wrestling,” and says Detroit boos him and his Family because it is a city of losers. Kyle Fletcher starts against Bandido and the fans fire up. Kyle and Bandido circle, the fans rally up more, and they tie up. They go around, Kyle puts Bandido on the ropes.

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!

After the assault and humiliation that we saw earlier tonight, Zach Gowen is going to make his return to wrestling! Will Zach get revenge on Ricochet for taking things too far?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

“So, we’re through the obligatory preamble, casualties on both sides. Last night, you took out my number one lieutenant. Now I could vow revenge and talk about all the things I’m gonna do to Samoa Joe once I get him inside that steel cage. But that would be rather rote, and probably mostly untrue. What do we know? The consensus is Samoa Joe is gonna kick my ass. And yeah, there’s nobody on the planet better at getting their ass kicked than me. The question isn’t whether Joe will beat me up. The question is, how long can he do it? Five, eight minutes? Ten? 20? 25? I’ve got all night.

“I know you don’t think very much of me, Joe, but you are one of the guys that I have genuine respect for. You are the embodiment of a champion. But you’re not the AEW World Champion, I am. And I know that no matter what happens to me inside that steel cage in Chicago, no matter what Hell is put on me, no matter what I am put through in that steel cage, I know I have been through worse. I have been through the kind of Hell, I have weathered the kind of storms, I have faced down the kinds of demons that would keep these kids up at night. So I don’t need to be feared or respected by you or anybody else. I just need you to show up.

“I don’t get along with the rest of the world because I am not like the rest of the world. And believe it or not, next week, there is nowhere else in the world I would rather be than locked inside a steel cage in Chicago with the AEW World Championship hanging in the balance, with the baddest man in pro-wrestling, Samoa Joe. I didn’t build my foundation on sand. When the storm comes through, the only thing that matters is who is the last man standing.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will he ultimately be the baddest man in AEW?

 

Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn VS Lee Johnson w/ Blake Christian!

The Pride of Pro-Wrestling is ready to prove he’s worthy of all the opportunities before him, but that means having others step to the plate. #BigShotty thinks he can get a hit off the 5 Tool Player, but will he be able to go yard? Or will he just get Molly Whopped and sent back to the dugout?

The bell rings and the fans rally behind Bowens. Bowens and Lee tie up, Bowens wrenches and wristlocks, but Lee wrenches back. Bowens slips through, wrenches and hammerlocks, then he spins and snapmares Lee to an Oklahoma Roll! TWO, and Bowens tries a cradle, TWO! Lee is up to headlock back, but Bowens powers up and out. Lee goes up and over, baits Bowens into a waistlock, but Bowens switches. Lee switches, then he shoves Bowens! “You’re nothing!” The fans boo and Bowens scowls. Lee talks more trash, but Bowens CHOPS Lee off his feet! Bowens stalks Lee to a corner, CHOPS again, and the fans “WOO~!”

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

Billy is annoyed, but then Blake gets on the apron! Bowens backs the Vanilla Babyface off, but then he dodges Lee’s sneak attack! Bowens fireman’s carries, Lee slips free and shoves Bowens to ropes. Billy wants after Blake but the ref keeps him back. Bowens ELBOWS Lee away, but Blake swipes at him! Lee then DUMPS Bowens out! Bowens staggers up, Lee FLIES, and he gets just enough of Bowens to take him down! Then Lee and Blake mock the scissor fingers! The fans boo but Lee puts Bowens in the ring. Lee reels Bowens in, suplexes, but Bowens slips free! Bowens shoves Lee away, runs up, and he blocks the boot! But not the ENZIGIRI!

Lee SUPERKICKS Bowens, runs, but into the Rock, Paper, Scissors, SUPERKICK! The fans fire up and Bowens shows them how it’s done! He puts up the scissors, then shouts for his shot! But Blake gets on the apron! Bowens grabs Blake, Lee rolls Bowens up with tights, TWO!! MOLLY WHOP!! Cover, Bowens wins!

Winner: Anthony Bowens, by pinfall

Blake tried to tip the scales, but then he also storms into the ring! Billy gets in Blake’s way and Blake backs up. Blake  “apologizes,” but then he takes a swing! Billy stops that and TOSSES Blake out! Billy says “SUCK IT!” Bowens grabs a mic to tell Detroit, “What you just saw was the Pride of Professional Wrestling! The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. And I am in a really good mood, so y’know what? Billy, throw ’em up! Detroit, throw ’em up! And make some noise!” And they SCISSOR FINGER~! For old time’s sake, Bowens embraces the old gimmick. But will nothing stop Bowens from making himself a contender?

 

The Gates of Agony are here!

Detroit cheers as Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona walk out to the ring, but they grab mics so they can talk. Kaun calls out Bryan Keith & Big Bill. “You think you’re gonna walk through these Gates unscathed, unburned, and redeem yourselves in the eyes of Chris Jericho?” The fans boo and Kaun says, “Hell no, Paradise has to be earned. And these Gates right here? They’re gonna stop you in your tracks.” Liona says, “And this time, we’re not doing it in a parking lot! Y’know why? Because we’re in Detroit! Why not do this right here, right now!?” The fans cheer and Liona tells Big Bill & Bryan Keith, you heard the people! Get out here and fight!

The shirts come off, and here come the Redwood & Bad Apple! They go right to the ring and the brawl is on! The fans fire up as Bill has Kaun and Keith has Liona! Bill hammers away on Kaun in a corner, Liona ROCKS Keith, but Keith roars! Keith runs, only for Liona to LARIAT him down! Bill BOOTS Liona down! Bill goes out after Liona, but then Keith LARIATS Kaun and himself up and out of the ring! Bill and Liona brawl, Linoa shoves Bill into railing and CLUBS him! Keith and Kaun brawl on the floor, Liona SMACKS Bill off steel steps! Liona fires up, the fans are torn, and Liona runs in, only for Bill to send him into railing! In fact, Liona goes over the railing!

Keith staggers but Kaun keeps after him. Kaun brings Keith to the ramp but Keith elbows free! Keith runs but Kaun fireman’s carries! SAMOAN DROP down through tables!! Fans lose their minds, and somehow Liona is up! Liona and Bill now brawl on the stage, even as security and producer Kevin Matthews try to stop this! But there’s no stopping it, and Bill BOOTS Liona! Liona wobbles, but then he roars! Liona SPEARS Bill off the stage and down through tables!! The fans lose their minds all over again! The Gates and the Branches are down around ringside, is the Learning Tree impressed watching this at home?

 

AEW hears from Anna Jay & Harley Cameron, as well as Penelope Ford & Megan Bayne.

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

Harley shouts that she and Anna will SLAY THE MEGASUS, and all will FEEL THE WRATH! And so BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break Collision! Anna Jay VS Megan Bayne will happen next Saturday when Collision returns to TNT!

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

The bell rings and the two circle. The two start pushing, and then shoving, and then Willow wrenches to wrangle Kris. Kris fights up to wrench back and headlock, but Willow powers out to headlock in return. Kris powers up and out, then reels Willow in for her own headlock.

The CHOPS keep going and the fans “WOO~!” Willow then fires off forearms! And an ENZIGIRI! Kris sputters to a corner, Willow storms up, and the fans cheer as she bumps Kris off buckles! Then she brings Kris to another corner for another buckle bump! And then the third corner! And the fourth corner!

The fans fire up as Willow completes the lap, snapmares Kris and BOOTS her down! Willow whips Kris again, but Kris sunset flips! TWO, Willow sits up into a BUZZSAW! Cover, TWO!

Before they take on Will Ospreay & Hangman Page for Beach Break, The Alpha & Walking Weapon are going to make an example out of the Cowboy’s former friends. Will this be the end of The Dark Order once and for all? Or can Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds survive despite not having the Numbers?

Who will the two mystery participants be? And will anyone be able to score on the Whore We All Adore this close to Double or Nothing?

 

Daniel Garcia VS Dax Harwood w/ Cash Wheeler & Stokely Hathaway!

For the longest time, Red Death respected FTR and FTR respected him. But after FTR selfishly betrayed Adam Copeland and put themselves ahead of everyone else, Garcia could not stand by and do nothing. Garcia dared one of the Top Guys to step up, will he take that Top Guy out? Or will this (emotionally) hurt FTR more than it hurts Garcia?

The bell rings and Dax circles with Garcia. Garcia is also wary of how Cash and #BigStoke are moving around ringside. The fans taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” so it isn’t just Ricochet anymore.

He’s allowed to do that, right? The fans still taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” Dax stands Garcia up, reels him in, but Garcia fights the lift! Dax pulls on Garcia’s hair to then CHOP him! Garcia bails out, Dax pursues, and Dax brings Garcia around.

Dax talks trash on the fans, then reels Garcia in. Garcia fights the lift again, trips Dax up, and then CATAPULTS Dax into the POST! The fans fire up while Dax falls in a heap! Garcia stands, rolls into the ring, but just long enough to refresh the count. Dax is busted open and Garcia is right on that bloody forehead! Dax wants mercy but Garcia only backs off to get space. Garcia puts up his dukes, does his dance, and then runs in for a DROPKICK! Dax hits barriers, but Garcia runs again! Another DROPKICK into the barriers! And then a third DROPKICK into the barriers!

The fans boo as Cash says no more! Garcia seethes, and he still runs up, but Dax LARIATS Garcia down! Cash bought Dax time, and now Dax huffs ‘n’ puffs through his crimson mask. Dax puts Garcia in the ring, then he grabs the ring bell! The ref stops Dax and they tug-o-war over it! Dax lets the ref have the bell, but then Garcia trips Dax!

The fans fire up, Stoke freaks out, and Menard fires off on Cash in a corner! Detroit is all fired up as Collision goes picture in picture!

Cash runs away to the back but Menard pursues! Now things are a bit more even, with Stoke coaching a bloodied and dazed Dax. Dax staggers to his feet, goes over to Garcia, and drags him up to put him in the ring. Dax talks more trash on the fans, then he storms in after Garcia. Dax suplexes and hits a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Garcia is still in this and Dax grows frustrated. The ref checks Dax while the fans rally behind Garcia. Dax is okay to continue, and he brings Garcia up, only for Garcia to cradle! TWO!! Dax stands and LARIATS Garcia down! Dax huffs ‘n’ puffs and TOSSES Garcia to the apron! Dax brings Garcia through the ropes, to then CHOP!

Detroit tells Dax he done F’d up, but Nigel just puts his headset back on. Nigel says he is a professional, but a professional commentator. Dax is the wrestler, so Nigel will not touch him. Dax SHOVES Nigel down! Nigel is furious but Dax already storms off to find Garcia. Dax puts Garcia in the ring, but Garcia reels Dax in! Dax fights the lift, Stoke barks from the apron! The ref backs stoke off, but Dax LOW BLOWS Garcia!

But now Nigel is storming down to ringside! Garcia fights the lift and Nigel is on the apron! Dax storms up on Nigel, but Nigel RAMS Dax down low! UPPERCUT! But Cash is back! He kicks Nigel low, reels him in, but Nigel WRINGS Cash out! Garcia LARIATS Dax up and out, and clearly by now the ref has just thrown this one out!

Menard is back and he LARIATS Cash up and out! The fans fire up as Menard, Garcia and McGuinness stand tall together! FTR kept pushing buttons but they pushed the wrong ones! Will Stoke, Dax & Cash have to fear the repercussions of their actions?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision, but it apparently caught a bit of the Go Home Syndrome. There were quite a few recap packages I skipped but clearly they are working to hype Beach Break for next. Moxley’s newest promo was alright, didn’t really add much, because as I said just last night, Moxley surely finds a way to retain with help from The Death Riders. I will say, it made a lot of sense for the remaining Death Riders to cost Willow. Marina and Willow still have beef, and I’m still hoping on my idea from last night: Shayna Baszler shows up, teams with Marina, we get Shayna & Marina VS Willow & Kris. Let’s up the ante and get another classic Street Fight Tag out of Kris & Willow.

Great promo from Toni Storm to open the night, and good to hear Skye Blue is back. Another Fatal 4 Way Eliminator makes me wonder if one of the mystery entrants ends up taking the loss. There was also that spider during Kris VS Willow, which I believe is a teaser for Thekla. Thekla could easily jump into the Fatal 4 Way and get close to winning, but who knows. And as I said last night, not sure why they’re holding Athena back from doing much of anything right now. With Supercard of Honor now delayed to July to coincide with All In: Texas, Athena should really be getting involved more on AEW TV so people don’t forget she exists.

Very good stuff with Bowens VS Lee, and I appreciate the albeit lazy way they changed Bowen’s logo so that it doesn’t resemble the Shane Taylor Promotions’ STP. Bowens of course wins, but his promo after was pretty much the same as his other ones. At least he did one last scissoring with Billy. Bowens is unfortunately not going to get a title story right now with all the champions preoccupied in something else. Though honestly, I feel like there is a way for Okada VS Bowens to be a great match, and then someone violates the Continental Rules so that Okada loses without really losing. Best way I can think of is Swerve is hunting The Bucks, they go ringside, and since Bucks are associate with Okada, that’s a violation on his part, and it adds more heat to whatever big thing Double or Nothing has planned.

Great stuff from the Don Callis Family in all their matches. I wasn’t expecting a big 8 Man Tag, and I’m a little disappointed Brody King wasn’t one of the participants, but maybe that’s the next phase. Great showing from the Faces, especially AR Fox. Fox is in a similar boat to Bowens where he certainly deserves title opportunities but TK just isn’t seeing how to write it. But between that and the dominance Konosuke & Alexander over Dark Order, it feels like the Don Callis Family get their comeuppance with Hangman & Ospreay winning next week.

Ricochet VS Angelico was rather outta nowhere but it was still a great match. It was also clearly a vehicle so Ricochet could start beef with Zach (Zack?) Gowen and give us a Beach Break match between them for the real deepcut long time wrestling fans. Much like Bowens and Fox, I feel like Ricochet is waiting on a title to be freed up from story so he can go get those titles. Such as Paragon now feuding with Grizzled Young Veterans for a minute, which in a way keeps Adam Cole isolated. TK should’ve just given us Ricochet VS Cole for the fun of it because Ricochet VS Cole would be incredibly fun stuff. They could even revisit their NXT history if they wanted to.

Great stuff with Gates of Agony and Learning Tree, that was much better than last week’s. I really hope this gives us a Tornado Tag match. For that matter, why aren’t we getting that in the story of Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford? Good promo from those teams to hype up… just Anna VS Megan… It’d make Beach Break Collision feel all the bigger but whatever, maybe they feel Ford still isn’t up to speed after that Fatal 4 Way last night. But doing a chaotic tag match could help iron out some of that so that Ford can just focus on what she is good at with the gymnastics and throwing hands.

And awesome stuff with Garcia VS “Dax the Axe” in the main event. And yeah, I didn’t put it in myself, but they’re really committing to that as Dax’s ring name right now. Great to see Menard helping Garcia, and even Nigel standing up for himself against Dax. A “No Contest” result was a little odd but I suppose that’s like saying it is a draw where no one goes over. But with the Faces standing tall, maybe Nigel steps in and teams with Garcia right now for Double or Nothing so that Garcia teaming with Cope is the All In moment.

My Score: 8.8/10
