Will Andrews help Boar get even with their common enemy?
NXT UK Media catches up with Sam Gradwell.
Given his appearance during Kenny Williams’ match last week, it’s clear who was messing with Kenny this whole time. Gradwell says Kenny’s not the only one who can play games around here. Just you wait until Gradwell gets his hands on Kenny for real. Then you’ll see- OH NO! Gradwell’s backpack is full of MAGGOTS! Colorful maggots, courtesy of Kenny Williams! The Thunderstorm storms off, will he crush Kenny Cockroach for this?
Die Familie sit in their penthouse flat.
Rohan Raja brings drinks for Teoman and Charlie Dempsey. Raja says Teoman was right! Week by week, they have been asserting their dominance, and it will continue with Charlie taking on Wolfgang. Dempsey says he made Wolfgang tap out once already, he doesn’t see why a second time will make any difference. They share a laugh, and Dempsey tells Teoman that he’s got quite the challenge ahead in A-Kid. He’ snot someone to be taken lightly 1v1. So then, what does The Eye see? Teoman says, “The Eye has seen that A-Kid’s focus is elsewhere right now. They say pain is temporary. But for A-Kid, it’s gonna be permanent.”
Raja says they shall toast. To the continued success of Die Familie! Cheers! But will the Last King of Scotland tear into the technical prodigy? Will the Spanish Sensation show The Babo that his Evil Eye needs to look again?
NXT UK Media catches up with Mastiff & Starz.
Jack Starz coaches big Bomber Dave in a deadlift, and he has the reporter wait until the end. That’s one set down, but then Joe Coffey forgets about his brother, Mark! Joe has to help Mark get the bench press back up, and Joe starts blaming Mastiff. Mastiff says Joe needs to be more concerned with his brother. Joe says Mastiff can make all the noise he wants, he’s about getting rowdy. Mark has Joe stand down, but Mastiff says these days, even he and Starz have it a bit tighter. Joe tells Mastiff to watch himself, and then apologizes to Mark. Will the Gallus boys still be on top if they can’t even focus in the gym?
Wolfgang VS Charlie Dempsey w/ Rohan Raja!
Speaking of Gallus, Wolfie has another go with the technical savant and student of the game, hoping to turn the tides. Can one Gallus boy stay on top for the firm? Or will Die Familie prove they’re the new force here in NXT UK?
The bell rings and the two circle. Wolfgang and Dempsey feel out the grapple but Wolfgang keeps Dempsey from getting the leg. They keep circling, Dempsey pie faces Wolfgang, and then Raja distracts Wolfgang with banging on the steps. Dempsey uses that to waistlock Wolfgang, then shifts from half nelson to cravat. Wolfgang endures the neck wrench, then rolls, but Dempsey holds onto the cravat. Wolfgang fights up, but Dempsey bridges for a cravat plex!

BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! Bridging cover, Dempsey wins!

Dempsey wins thanks to his brothers in arms! But will they really be dominant when they have to resort to such tricks?
NXT UK Media interviews Meiko Satomura.
How is the NXT UK Women’s Champion feeling after Isla Dawn literally stole the belt? Meiko is the champion, but she is without her title. She tells Isla that next week, she invites Isla to speak in the ring and face to face! Will the Final Boss accept whatever challenge Isla spoke of last week? Or does she have a challenge of her own?
NXT UK Media catches up with Kenny Williams.
He just finished up a shower, and they ask him about the roaches in Gradwell’s bag. Uh, no, they were maggots. Not that Kenny knows anything about that. But see, there’s something you need to remember. The games are always being played, but no one plays them like Kenny. But when Kenny returns to his locker, another note has been written. “Keep guessing, cockroach!!! Watch your back!” Where is he, then? Kenny wants Gradwell to come out and do this right here! Will these two stop playing games and get this back in the ring?
NXT UK hears from Xia Brookside and her new friend.
Xia is so excited because she just beat Amale with a teeny weeny bit of help from an old family friend, Eliza Alexander! Eliza says Amale didn’t even know her name, but this week, she lives rent free in Amale’s head. And Eliza does have Xia’s back. Next week, Eliza makes her in-ring debut, and someone’s gonna get battered.
Sid Scala speaks.
The Assistant GM is joined by Oliver Carter & Ashton Smith, as well as the NXT UK Tag Team Champions, Moustache Mountain. He thanks them both for being here, and knows the singles matches did not settle the issue. Carter defeated Tyler Bate, but Trent Seven defeated Smith. Seven says it was clean, but Smith can’t believe he’s saying that. We all saw it, it’s on the WWE Network (cuz only America has Peacock). Seven says 1-2-3 is what mattered, but Sid quickly shuts down the arguing. This contract is for the main event in two weeks’ time, for the N XT UK Tag Team Championships.
Carter & Smith are fired up, but Sid also adds that it will be Best 2 out of 3 Falls. Well, alright then. They all shake on that, and Seven thanks Sid. If they have to beat Smith & Carter another two times, then so be it. Carter & Smith laugh at that but Seven says they’ve won every time. Sid tries to get them to stop arguing, but will all of it be settled once the match happens?
NXT UK Media catches up with Wolfgang.
They want to talk with him about the loss, but Wolfgang says not now, he has something to take care of first. He finds the Coffey brothers and asks what that was all about. What was what about? Dempsey had Rohan ringside, where were these two? Joe says that while he’s in charge, does he have to do everything around here? Mark apologizes to Wolfgang, that won’t happen again. Wolfgang just huffs his way into the locker room. Is Gallus going to be able to hold it together like this?
NXT UK Championship: Ilja Dragunov VS Roderick Strong!
NXT UK may not have been on Stand & Deliver, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t going to give us the most STUPENDOUS showdown for this title! The Czar is ready to remind us what UNBESIEGBAR really means, but will he be able to break the Savior of the Backbreaker?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Strong can add another belt to his incredible resumé!
Fans fire up already as the two circle and tie up. Dragunov pushes Strong back but Strong turns it around and they go around the ring. They fight for wrist control and Strong gets the wristlock. Strong wrangles Dragunov down, but Dragunov fights up. Strong wrangles him down again, fans rally, and Dragunov fights back up again. Dragunov has leverage now, and he gets a headlock. Strong endures the grind, powers Dragunov to ropes, and they let off slowly as the ref counts. Dragunov avoids the chop and wags his finger. They circle again, feel out knuckle locks, and Dragunov shoots in. Strong keeps with Dragunov and facelocks.

Winner: Ilja Dragunov, by pinfall (still NXT UK Champion)
Roderick may be strong, but he is NOT UNBESIEGBAR! Fans give this one a standing ovation, will Dragunov continue to give his all for more instant classics?
My Thoughts:
What a great episode for NXT UK! Really good opening with Boar VS Primate, but of course Symbiosis helps Primate through cheating. Dennis clobbering Boar with a dog collar is definitely foreshadowing that Dennis VS Boar will be a dog collar match. It’s gonna be hard to outdo dog collar matches like AEW’s Punk VS MJF, but this will still be really good. And Mark Andrews is back, maybe Flash Morgan Webster is also on his way back, would love to see Subculture’s return match be a big win over T-Bone & Primate. Good back and forth between Sam Gradwell and Kenny Williams with the bugs and the note, but the note’s wording makes me wonder if it’s not Gradwell at all. Please let it be edgy Amir Jordan back for revenge.
Good blending of stories as Gallus has beef with Mastiff & Starz all because of Joe’s own frustrations and passive aggressive feelings towards his own brother. That tension also affects Wolfgang VS Dempsey since Die Familie double cheat to screw Wolfgang over, and then Wolfgang is upset with the Coffey Brothers. I hope Gallus doesn’t break up, but who knows if they’re moving on to NXT 2.0 or staying in NXT UK. As for Die Familie, it seems they’re going to stick together, unless A-Kid can convince Dempsey he doesn’t need them. AK VS Teoman is going to be a good one, as will Gallus VS Mastiff & Starz.
Meiko Satomura had a good, straightforward response to Isla Dawn’s message from last week, so of course we’re getting something to set up their title rematch. And we got a pretty good intro to “Eliza Alexander,” FKA Lizzy Evo, who is even now considered the CATCH Women’s Champion and PCW Women’s Champion. She’ll definitely have a good first match next week, will probably give Amale a good match that leads Amale to another rematch with Xia, and y’know, one thing that’s rare on NXT UK is a women’s tag match. Xia & Eliza VS Amale and someone who also doesn’t like Xia, that could be a fun match, too.
We got a good office promo with Sid, Carter, Smith and Moustache Mountain. Going 2 outta 3 falls is great stuff, that match is going to be epic and could even take like half the episode. And being 2 outta 3, I would think each team gets one fall and then it all rides on the third, and that could be like a coin toss. They’re just sitting on the story of Seven snapping over losing these titles, this could be when they pull the trigger on it. Then we of course got an awesome main event from Dragunov VS Strong. A little bummed Dragunov’s theme changed but they’ve done the same to Imperium so it might’ve only been a matter of time. Dragunov retains to keep the UK title in NXT UK, but I’m having a hard time figuring who could be next.
My Score: 8.7/10

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?

Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

Knight aims, MOTHERSHIP UFO SPLASH!! Cover, KNIGHT WINS!!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Machine was out for 14 months and yet no ring rust to be found! However, The Jet is just #2Fly2Stop! Bailey brings mics into the ring to say, “Congratulations to The Jet on a hell of a win!” Knight says much appreciated. But like he said, they’re red hot right now! And Brian Cage, welcome back! Cage took Knight to his limits, but The Jet is still standing as TNT Champion. But Knight can’t get over how last week, he couldn’t get the job done becoming #Jet2Belts. Bailey says forget last week. Knight IS a future AEW World Champion! Bailey says he knows it, and everyone here knows it! The fans cheer that!
Knight says he appreciates the support from Bailey and Ashville. Bailey is always in his corner, Knight is always in Bailey’s. And if Bailey keeps it up, he’ll be singles champion, too. Bailey says yeah, Knight got him thinking. Tonight, Darby VS Takeshita, BAILEY WANTS NEXT! Bailey says Takeshita was his greatest rival in Japan, but they’ve yet to have a singles match in AEW. And Darby, as much as Bailey wants to see MJF go bald…! Bailey is coming for Darby’s AEW World Championship! JetSpeed daps it up, will they become a 2 Fly 2 Man Power Trip?
AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags! Ospreay wristlocks and he bends the fingers! Ospreay isolates the arm to then STOMP it!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
