NXT shares what Joe Gacy did after losing.
Two druids in red masks attacked Bron! They used a chair and an assisted DDT to take him out! Then they stretchered Bron out of the arena, and kidnapped him! Gacy says there are many forms of victory. This is not how their story ends. Gacy had his henchmen drag Bron out and Gacy says this is Bron’s moment to feel all alone. They left Bron out in the middle of nowhere! Will the NXT Champion be able to find his way back?
NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships: Toxic Attraction VS Wendy Choo & Roxanne Perez!
Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne did not like any of the pranks pulled by Wendy & Roxie for Spring Breakin’. But will they get their revenge by sending those two to the back of the line? Or will insult be added to injury when they lose the titles?

But Wendy is pissed! She fires off on the tag champs! But then Mandy CLOBBERS Wendy with the belt! Toxic Attraction all stomp away and mug Wendy! Mandy says Wendy will never look like her! She’s just a loser! But without Mandy, Gigi & Jacy would’ve been losers. Will Wendy and Roxie get revenge on Toxic Attraction soon enough?
Grayson Waller and Tiffany Stratton went on a shopping date.
He thanks her for this. He needed to unwind. Shopping is the best form of medicine. Especially after him losing to Nathan Frazer. Frazer got lucky! Stupid airhorn from Chase U! Those colors are so tacky. They’re a school of losers! And Bodhi’s a dork. But Grayson Waller gets his revenge on Andre Chase 1v1. The teachable moment will be that you don’t mess with the Grayson Waller Effect. But will the 21st Century Success Story be the one learning a little thing about respect and humility?
Roderick Strong is training in the Diamond Mine dojo.
The Creeds walk over and want to talk. Well, please tell him they’re not upset. They got the win! But Strong knew those guys were undefeated in NXT. But that match is tainted. It was supposed to be a test, right? But when the moment came, Strong interjected himself. It isn’t even about winning, but how they win. No more shortcuts! They’ll give the Viking Raiders a rematch, but they’ll do it the right way. Strong says he believes in them. He’ll bring in someone who has been wanting to join Diamond Mine. This guy will help the Creeds make it to those tag titles. Winner of Pan-American games, Division I Freestyle competitor, from the University of Minnesota, it’s DAMON KEMP! This guy is going to make you so much better.
Uh, new members were supposed to be a group decision. They’ll talk about Kemp later. But will Strong even hear his team out?
Joey Gacy heads to the ring.
But he isn’t going alone. His red druids who kidnapped and stranded Bron Breakker are with him. Gacy stands with them in the ring and he gets the mic. Fans chant, “Gacy Sucks!” but he says, “Bron Breakker, as I left you in the wilderness last week, I told you now you must face the next chapter of your journey all alone. My personal journey started in NXT months ago. I opened the door of inclusion to everybody. Anyone, no matter who they are, could be a part of real change. But two men separated themselves from the pack, and the rest are no more. These two proved their worth to me, and to themselves.”
Gacy says these men went above and beyond and committed themselves to his cause but taking that extra step. Fans tell Gacy to “Shut the Hell Up!” but Gacy says his message has been received. These two are the faces of change. Their expansion has begun! Change takes place one person at a time. So, he would like to appeal to NXT Champion, Bron Breakker. Consider this Bron’s personal invitation. Bron doesn’t have to do this alone. Join Gacy’s group and be part of his movement. Be part of the change. The result is eternal joy! And affliction and hardship awaits those who resist. But just who are these who joined Gacy’s side?
Bodhi Hayward coaches up Andre Chase.
If Grayson Waller wants to go viral, Chase will make him go viral. But then Sarray rushes in and brings up what Grayson and Tiffany had to say. Sarray can’t stand those two! She wants to team up with them to make it a mixed tag match! Please? Uh, Chase doesn’t know Japanese. Bodhi translates: she wants to turn the singles match into a mixed tag. Oh, that’s a great- Wait, Bodhi knows Japanese? Yes, he’s in Mr. Miller’s Japanese 202 class on Mondays and Fridays. Oh, nice. But the idea is, Sarray cannot forgive Tiffany or Waller, so she wants to tear them apart! Chase gets that one. They’re gonna go make that match happen! And Sarray says that’s a teachable moment!
Ivy Nile holds a fitness challenge!
Time to separate the men from the boys. If they can’t go, then they’ve gotta go. Drop down and give her as many push-ups as you can! They go all the way to 40, then 80. We start seeing some dropping out, and she promises that by the end of the night, she better not be the only one standing. Will any of these guys be able to keep up with the Female Titan?
The NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament entrants are introduced!
Nikkita Lyons, Arianna Grace, Roxanne Perez (still sore from earlier), Kiana James, Lash Legend (though she’s been here a minute), Tatum Paxley, and the two in the ring!
The NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament: Sloane Jacobs VS Fallon Henley!
For the first time ever, NXT offers a Breakout Contract to the Women’s Division! Will the winner of this match go all the way to win it all?
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Fallon powers Sloane back then arm-drags her away. Fallon hurries to get Sloane with a waistlock, SLAM her down, and hold her down. Fans duel, Sloane fights up but Fallon headlocks. Sloane drags Fallon down to a cover, ONE! Sloane rolls Fallon up, ONE! Sloane leg cradles, TWO! Fallon dropkicks Sloan down and fans fire up. Fallon headlocks and grinds Sloane down. Sloane powers out but Fallon runs her over! Things speed up, Fallon avoids the dropkick and does a two step. Then Fallon runs in, gets around and whips.

Sloane still endures and fights while fans rally.
Sloane arm-drags free, JAWBREAKERS, then whips. Fallon reverses, back elbows, and runs, into DOUBLE FACEBUSTERS! Both women down and fans fire up. Sloane rolls away to a corner but Fallon runs in, into BOOTS! Sloane goes up to FLYING RANA! Sloane fires up, CLOBBERS Fallon then CLOBBERS her again! Sloane spins Fallon around to a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Fallon is still in this and Sloane grows frustrated. Sloane hauls Fallon up, fireman’s carries, but Fallon fights free. Cobra Clutch BACKBREAKER to a ripcord LARIAT! Fallon aims from a corner, runs, SHINING WIZARD! Cover, Fallon wins!
Winner: Fallon Henley, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
The boys celebrate with the Cowgirl as she puts her mark on the tournament! Will Fallon be able to rope that title match contract?
Backstage interview with Legado del Familia.
McKenzie was sure they came to a peace agreement with Tony D’Angelo, but then they kidnapped AJ Galante. What went wrong? When you live in Escobar’s world, disrespect is squashed swiftly. AJ Galante shouldn’t have been there at all, but when he arrived, he should’ve shown respect and was fair games. Galante can’t survive on Legado’s streets. And Tony is learning the hard way that you shouldn’t interfere with Legado’s business if you want to walk away, let alone walk at all.
Cruz Del Toro fetches the Legado car.
But as he gets in, surprise! Tony D is in his way. Cruz sighs, but then Stacks is IN the car! He and Two Dimes beat up Cruz and drag him out of the car! Tony says his boss did this to him, not Tony. The mugging continues, then they put Cruz in the trunk! They’re sending a message back to Legado! Stacks drives as the Don and his crew peel out. Will things only escalate the gang warfare?
Alba Fyre VS Amari Miller!
Kay Lee Ray rises like the phoenix, and has a new name to go with this new chapter in her career. Will she blaze a trail to the NXT Women’s Championship? Or will the Vibe of St. Louis stay cool in her return to the ring?
The bell rings and the two circle. Fans rally for Fyre as she ties up with Amari. Fyre throws Amari down, ghost pins, TWO! Alba keeps on Amari with a wrench but Amari headlocks back. Alba powers up but can’t power free. We get a glimpse of Ivy’s fitness challenging continuing into burpees while Alba keeps working on the headlock. Alba drops, rolls Amari, TWO! Alba whips, Amari turns hip toss into arm-drag and press, TWO! Amari storms up but Alba CHOPS her! Alba brings her around but Amari blocks that next chop to knee low! Amari knuckle locks, goes up and up and FLYING ARM-DRAGS Alba away!
Amari runs in, waistlocks, ripcords, and NECKBREAKERS! Cover, TWO! Alba gets to a corner and Amari runs in to go after her with forearms. Amari goes corner to corner but Alba dodges and Amari hits buckles. Alba blocks the boot but Amari kicks with the other leg. Amari whips, Alba reverses to wrench and SUPERKICK! Then TORNADO DDT! Amari is dazed, Alba SUPERKICKS her down! Cover, TWO! Alba drags Amari up and fans rally up. Amari throws body shots, Alba ROCKS her! Amari ROCKS Alba back, but Alba fires elbows and forearms! Amari hits back, gets the edge, and winds up, but runs into a Gory Especial!
Amari fights free, sunset flips, TWO! Alba rushes in, Amari gets around and whips to table top! PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO! Fans rally, Amari drags Alba up and cravats but Alba fights out! Amari blocks superkick but gets the GLASGOW KISS! Gory Especial, FYRE BOMB! Alba goes up top, SWANTON BOMB! Cover, Alba wins!
Winner: Alba Fyre, by pinfall
Alba gets the victory and there’s a spark! Will Alba set the division on fire?
Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams pull up.
They feel good, they look good, they’re ready- Oh. Solo Sikoa is there and he locks the door?! Oh no he didn’t! They’ll get in one way or another. But will Melo & Trick be left out in the cold?
Backstage interview with Cora Jade.
McKenzie says Cora is in the main event against Natalya. Is she nervous to face a hero? Of course she is! She’s up against a legend. But Natty isn’t facing some little girl she DM’d a year ago, or that she cheap shotted a month ago. Cora is ready. Natty thinks she can be the gatekeeper of the WWE Women’s Division, but Cora is going to bust the gate down and prove she belongs, and can even hang with a future Hall of Famer.
Solo Sikoa heads to the ring.
The Street Champion may not be North American Champion, but he made sure Melo & Trick won’t get in to ruin this moment. Solo hears the fans chant his name, and he has a mic to say, “Yo, you damn right. You see, this was supposed to be Carmelo’s and Trick Williams’ time. Because it’s my time now.” Fans chant “UCE! UCE! UCE!” Everyone comes out talking about the North American Championship, but y’all already know what happened last week. Fans cheer Solo on, and Solo says if we’re talking about that title, Solo will be watching. Solo will let the whole world know, in the locker room know, and everyone in the crowd know, he’s got next!
It doesn’t matter if it’s Grimes or Melo, they both can get it! But speaking of, here comes Cameron Grimes! Grimes wants Solo to hold on. Grimes respects Solo just like the fans respect him. Solo wants another shot at the North American Championship, but at In Your House, it will be Grimes VS Melo. Fans chant, “You Got Lucky!” at Grimes but Grimes says have no fear. After he beats Melo, Solo has Grimes’ word that if Solo wants a shot at the North American Championship, then he has it! They shake on that, and fans chant, “You Got Next!” But then Melo and Trick attack Grimes! They got in after all!
Solo doesn’t even know? They set Grimes up for the SPRINGBOARD SLINGBLADE! Solo looks back as Trick gets a chair and puts it around Grimes’ neck! Melo goes up, but Solo gets in! Solo CLOBBERS Melo, SUPERKICKS Trick, and fans fire up as he has targets in opposite corners! HIP ATTACK for Trick! Melo realizes what’s coming and he gets out before Solo gives him one! Fans rally behind Solo, even as he helps Grimes up. Solo picks up the title, and Grimes takes it from him. But will Grimes hold onto that belt through In Your House 2022 to give Solo that shot?
The rest of Legado wonder where Cruz went.
But then they see the car left where it was! Where is Cruz? He’s not here, what happened? Escobar understands, and makes the call. Escobar calls Tony D’Angelo. Tony asks who this is, and Escobar says it’s him. Who? You know who! Oh, hey, how’s it going. Not good! Whoever did this to Cruz is in trouble. Oh, interesting. Why you telling Tony? Oh like he knows nothing! Well, same could be said about Galante. Maybe they ended up in the same place. Doubtful. Word is, Galante is in rough shape. Tony says if Escobar lays one more finger on Galante, he’s done for! SO how about this, wise guy? Legado lets Galante go, Tony pops the trunk, and then Tony and Escobar meet in the ring.
Fine, but Tony has sealed his fate. Sealed his fate? The Don makes threats, not Escobar. Tony will beat Escobar so bad, his own mother won’t recognize him! You understand him? You even still there?! Escobar says yes. And by the way, Tony, F U! Escobar hangs up and Tony tosses the table! Stacks is upset that his solitaire game is ruined. But will The Don and his boys rough up Legado once and for all?
Backstage interview with Nathan Frazer.
The British Prodigy is excited for the 200th episode of NXT UK, and after his win over Waller, he’s on cloud nine. And ew know who he is choosing for the mixed tag. But then Xyon Quinn walks over to say hi to the new guy. If Frazer keeps his head down and runs it straight, he’ll do great. Well thanks for the advice, but what does that mean? Wes Lee walks in and says it’s a shocker that on one knows. Quinn already put Lee in his place. Don’t make him do the same to Frazer. Frazer was being genuine, though! He thought it was like an American thing or something. Frazer leaves, but Lee says he’ll go through that again. Quinn wants him to reconsider, but Lee doesn’t
Mixed Tag Match: Sarray & Andre Chase w/ Bodhi Hayward VS Tiffany Stratton & Grayson Waller!
The Warrior of the Sun and the head of Chase U are looking to teach Buff Barbie and Cocky Ken what really makes a great competitor in NXT! Will Sarray and Andre take Tiffany and Grayson to school? Or will this be another viral moment for Tiffany’s and Grayson’s social media?
NXT returns and Sarray makes her magical girl transformation! It even affects Chase’s sweater into going sky blue and… Bodhi ends up with the pigtails? Well, that aside, the teams sort out, and Chase starts with Waller. Waller and Chase circle, tie up, and Chase wrenches the arm and chinbars. Then Chase wrenches to ELBOW BREAKER and wristlock. Waller rolls, handsprings, and WRINGS Chase out! Then Waller shows off with drop steps, and tells the U to SUCK IT. Chase and Waller tie up, Waller wrenches the arm, but Chase rolls and kips up to WRING Waller! Fans fire up but Waller rushes in.
Chase headlocks, Waller powers out but Chase runs him over! Things speed up, Waller hurdles but Chase turns hip toss into hip toss! And then he does the drop steps! Then a headlock takeover! Fans fire up as Chase has Waller down. Fans rally, Waller fights up, and Waller wrenches out to ROCK Chase with a right. Then he tags out to Tiffany. Sarray comes in and chases Tiffany around the outside! Tiffany gets in the ring and runs Sarray over! Tiffany wrenches, wristlocks, but Sarray wrenches and drop toeholds! Then she SPANKS Tiffany, before tying up the legs for a DEATHLOCK! Fans rally as Sarray bridges for the MUTA LOCK!
Tiffany endures, pulls hair, and then drags Sarray up. Sarray breaks free to CHOP Tiffany off her feet! Waller runs in but Chase DOUBLE CHIPOS him! They stomp out “CHASE U!” Sarray does the U with Chase, and they both say, “That’s a teachable moment!” Tiffany and Waller regroup at the ramp while NXT goes to break.
NXT returns again and Waller has Chase down with a chinlock. Fans rally, Chase fights up and throws body shots. Chase is free but Waller keeps him from Sarray to DECK him with a right! Tag to Tiffany and she CLOBBERS Sarray! Then ASSISTED MOONSAULT onto Chase! Tag back to Waller and he goes up. Fans boo as Waller mocks the U, BALLER ELBOW! Cover, Sarray breaks it! Waller complains but he just got away with co-ed with Tiffany. Chase gets Waller in a cradle, TWO! Waller gets Chase’s leg then ducks the enziguri, to get a SLEEPER HOLD! Chase flails, fights up but Waller thrashes Chase around!
Fans rally, Chase fights up, and Chase throws body shots. Chase powers out to put the SLEEPER on Waller! Waller powers out to get the SLEEPER! Chase hits a BIG back suplex! Fans fire up as both men are down! They crawl, hot tag to Tiffany and Sarray! Sarray TOSSES Tiffany! Then fires off forearms! She DECKS Tiffany, runs and dropkicks! Fans fire up as Sarray dropkicks her again! Sarray runs but Tiffany CLOBBERS her at the ropes! Tiffany blows a kiss, runs, but into a DROPKICK! Fans fire up with Sarray and she goes again, but Tiffany bails out. Waller check son Tiffany, then rushes in. But Chase trips Waller, and sets him up, SUNRAY DROPKICK!!
Waller flops out of the ring in a daze, but Tiffany CLOBBERS Sarray! Tiffany scoops, SLAMS Sarray into a drop zone, then goes up, TWISTING VADER! Cover, Bodhi uses the airhorn! Tiffany is pissed, and Sarray gets a ropebreak. Tiffany PLANCHAS Bodhi! “That’s a teachable moment!” But Sarray rolls Tiffany up, and wins!!
Winners: Sarray & Andre Chase, by pinfall
Tiffany & Waller just tasted some karma! Will they have to go on another shopping spree to get over this?
Ivy Nile’s challenge continues.
They’ve moved on to lunges with Bulgarian weight bags on their shoulders. There’s only four men left, but that quickly drops to just two. Ivy says they’re far from done, will anyone last the nigh?
Backstage interview with Von Wagner & Robert Stone.
Recently, Von Wagner has intentionally injured his opponents, but can he explain himself? Robert Stone says their actions are simple: if you step to Von Wagner, you get tossed like Jiro, hurt like Brooks Jensen, and so on. But then Jiro comes back for revenge! They brawl, Von throws Jiro down but security and stuff break this up! Vicious Von and Ikemen Jiro want to throw down, but will either man be standing when it’s all said and done?
Indi Hartwell checks her phone and sighs.
Toxic Attraction say they’re not here to cause trouble, but they know she’s going through a lot. They want to check on her because they can’t imagine what she’s going through. Oh, thanks. She feels like she’s lost all control, because she lost everything. No, they can’t imagine because no man has ever left Mandy Rose. Maybe Indi should find Wendy Choo crying somewhere? Misery loves company. Bye, loser. Indi scowls, but will she join Wendy and Roxanne against Toxic Attraction?
NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament Opening Round: Nikkita Lyons VS Arianna Grace!
Fallon Henley lassoed herself a spot in the semifinals, but it’s time to see who else is moving towards history! Will the Lyons’ pride carry her through? Or will Lyons have to learn how to lose with Grace?
The bell rings and Lyons offers a handshake. Grace goes to accept, then she sucker punches Lyons! Lyons kicks, Grace goes after a leg, but Lyons turns things to a backslide.

Lyons did roar, and Lyons did win! Will she keep that same energy as she is poised to take on Fallon in the semis?
Ivy Nile’s challenges are still going!
The ropes are whipping, but Ivy tells the finalists to not stop. Sorry, one does. It’s all down to one man, but Ivy tells him to keep going until he can’t go any longer. The last challenge is pull-ups with chains on their neck! Ivy gets up, the guy doesn’t. Ivy just rolls her eyes. Will she ever find someone on her level?
The Viking Raiders speak.
Erik says “Julius & Brutus Creed. We respect you for not wanting to accept a tainted victory. It’s hard to find men with honor and respect in this business.” Ivar says that when the bell rings, respect and honor are put aside. Tainted or not, they have never defeated in NXT, and they never will again! Next week, the raid is back! And it won’t matter who or how many there are, Ragnarok awaits!
Natalya VS Cora Jade!
The Queen of Harts, the most winningest woman in WWE history, thinks she has the right to say who is and isn’t the future of this industry. She says things look bleak with #GenerationJade as the face of the new wave, but will that new wave capsize the BOAT? Or will Cora and her board be left adrift at sea?
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, go around, and Natty puts Cora on the ropes. The ref counts, Natty lets off and then she shoves Cora. Fans rally and duel while Cora laughs that off.

Natty survives and Cora is seeing why she’s the most winningest woman in WWE! “This is Awesome!” as Cora puts Natty in a drop zone. Cora goes up the corner, Natty ROCKS her first!

Cover, TWO!! Fans are thunderous and Natty is shocked! Natty runs in to fire off haymakers! The ref counts, Natty lets off, but then gets Cora up for a snap suplex into buckles! Natty soaks up the heat while Cora drags herself up. Natty CHOP BLOCKS the leg! Natty drags Cora back to center, gets the leg and GROUND DRAGON SCREWS! Cora clutches the leg but Natty drags Cora up and bumps her off buckles.
Natty stomps the bad leg, but Cora kicks back. Natty goes outside, drags Cora to the post, and SLAMS the bad leg against the steel! Natty gets the leg again to SLAM it into the post again! Cora clutches her knee while Natty soaks up heat and refreshes the count. Natty gets the legs to tie it around the post. But Cora fights free and then YANKS Natty into the post! Cora crawls away while Natty clutches her arm. Natty gets in the ring and hobbles after Cora. Natty drags Cora up, Cora cradles! TWO!! Natty SLAPS Cora, scoops, but Cora slips out!

Winner: Natalya, by submission
The BOAT smiles, but even she is a bit surprised it went this far. Cora’s fighting spirit was more than her body could support, and Natty respects that. Natty offers a hand, and Cora takes it. Fans applaud as Natty and Cora hug it out. Even in defeat, did Cora turn the tide? Is the future of NXT looking a little brighter to Natty now?
My Thoughts:
Another great NXT, and it seems this starts the road to NXT In Your House 2.0. Solo locking out Trick & Melo, though it didn’t keep, was a very clever move from him. I feel like this is how they wanted, or should have, set Solo up against the North American Champion before just making it a Triple Threat at Spring Breakin’. Grimes VS Melo is going to be a great match, and I almost felt even here tonight, Grimes is poised to go back to being the brash, loudmouth Heel. Heel Grimes VS Face Solo is a natural move, because fans love Solo and are not liking how Grimes has become since becoming champion.
Glad to see we got to see the “post show” shenanigans of Gacy and his goons going after Bron. Gacy has a good enough promo to set up the next phase of this, but I wish we’d gotten to know the names of these “faces of change.” Maybe that’s coming once they know who those two will actually be. Bron is of course not going to be lost for long, but I wonder if he’ll get back-up in taking on Gacy and his goons. Steiner Brothers having #OneLastMatch? Then we got a good promo from Frazer, Quinn and Lee, and Quinn VS Lee Round 2 is going to be a lot of fun. Quinn won the first, so maybe Lee finds a way to win the rematch.
Good return for KLR now that she’s “Alba Fyre,” and for that matter, a pretty good return for Amari Miller after getting hurt in her match with Lash Legend months ago. The biggest thing is that Alba has a very theatrical entrance, perfect for RawDown. Maybe KLR gets one last shot at the NXT Women’s Championship, maybe she loses it because of another Heel finish from Mandy, and then KLR can go to RawDown. I also liked the Ivy Nile Fitness Challenge. They should’ve thought to do something like this with her earlier, but better late than never. I don’t know where this will go, but it’ll be fun character stuff for Ivy while it lasts.
And speaking of Diamond Mine, Strong adding a new member was a great move. We’re already seeing him start to phase out the Creeds for when they as Faces get away from Strong as a Heel. However, I think wires are crossed having Damon Kemp be the one to join when he’s trying to be Face on NXT UK. Unless Kemp oddly ends up Face and sides with the Creeds. That’d be hilarious. But for now, expect Kemp to be out there with the Creeds against the Viking Raiders in the rematch, and possibly cost them with his overcoaching and distracting. Then we can get Strong & Kemp VS Creeds for the fate of the faction.
I really liked what we got out of Grayson, Tiffany, Sarray and Chase U. The Heel Heat is strong in Waller & Stratton as a super Heel couple, and I like that Sarray suggested they make it a Mixed Tag Match tonight. I also thought it was genius for them to kayfabe other teachers and classes being at Chase U, and that Bodhi knew Japanese thanks to one. The Mixed Tag was good stuff, and I almost feared Tiffany was going to cheat another win. But Bodhi countering her with another airhorn was great, and Sarray gets payback on Tiffany. It doesn’t quite feel like a blow-off, that would probably be if Frazer gets involved again.
Great stuff out of Legado and Tony D’Angelo’s guys. Good promo from Escobar, good parking lot attack from Tony and his guys, and good “phone call” between Escobar and Tony. I guess we’re not getting the Six Man, though, with Cruz taken captive. But there will surely be shenanigans in Tony VS Escobar, because this feels like something that only ends on a special episode or “Premium Live Event.” Tony VS Escobar for In Your House would be a great match, especially if it’s a No Disqualification stipulation. And maybe on the side, we see Wilde & Del Toro VS Stacks & Two Dimes just so they aren’t left out.
Toxic Attraction VS Wendy & Roxie being a tag title match was a surprise, because I do not remember it being advertised that way. It was a very good match, but of course Mandy interferes. The Heel Heat is strong here, too, I definitely want to see them lose those titles. Toxic Attraction picking on Indi was one, a great way to further plug the horrible release of Dexter and Persia, and also a way to get Indi going after Mandy and that singles title. As the last member of The Way in NXT, Indi becoming NXT Women’s Champion to follow up being tag champion would be great for her. And maybe Wendy sticks with Roxie and they get another try at the tag titles, assuming Roxie doesn’t win the Women’s Breakout Tournament.
Speaking of which, we’ve got a great bracket for the tournament, and we got some really good opening round matches. I knew Lyons VS Grace was going to go Lyons’ way, she is one of the frontrunners for the finals for sure. Fallon VS Sloane was one I saw going either way. Fallon has her story with Briggs, Brooks and by extension, Legado, but it seems they’re moving on from that while Legado is feuding with Team D’Angelo. So therefore, great stuff for Fallon to win and move on, she’ll surely put Lyons over. But even in defeat, Sloane and Grace showed good in-ring work, they’ll definitely support the future of NXT these next few years.
And of course, what a main event! Cora Jade probably had her best singles match in NXT, which I knew Natty would bring out of her. That finish was also amazing, and a great nod back to Bret Hart VS Stone Cold where Steve Austin chose to pass out, not tap out. That kind of finish shows that WWE is building Cora up with the right pacing, and we’ll see her be a top champion soon enough.
My Score: 8.5/10

Daniel Garcia VS Johnny TV w/ MXM Collection!
Speaking of the TNT Championship, it will be Red Death challenging Jack Perry for that gold. But before he becomes the Face of TNT, can he prove to Johnny and the world that he is #TVReady?

Then you’re what’s holding him back. But I’m gonna fix that.”
Perry shoves Menard aside, then goes into the bus. Perry brings out a tow chain, with a hook on it! Perry CLUBS Menard, then hooks him up to the back of the bus! Between the chain and the bus exhaust, Menard is coughing and sputtering. Perry tells Menard, “We all have to sacrifice.” Perry then goes into the bus, but Garcia runs up! Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

The fans rally while Shelton stalks Komander to a corner. Shelton stomps Komander, hoists him up top, and slaps him around! Komander SLAPS back! And BOOTS! Komander adjusts position, dodges Shelton, and kicks the legs out! Shelton falls back, Komander goes up! MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up and Komander rises! Komander storms up but Shelton kicks low. Shelton suplexes, but Komander slips around! SLEEPER, then ELEVATED COBRA TWIST!

Komander hurries to a corner and climbs! Komander tightrope walks the 20 feet, to then SPACE MAN MOONSAULT! Down goes Shelton and the fans are thunderous! Komander hurries to get Shelton up but Shelton ELBOWS him away. Shelton slides into the ring himself, but Komander follows. MVP is furious as Komander runs, 619! Shelton is down and Komander goes up again! MVP shouts at Shelton while Komander aims.
Komander tightrope walks again but has to bail out as Shelton moves! Shelton waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! Komander flounders to a corner, Shelton runs up to STEP-UP KNEE! And then a SUPERKICK! Komander gets folded up and MVP says finish it already! Shelton hauls Komander up, clinches, and hits PAYDIRT! Cover, Shelton wins!
Winner: Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall
MVP stands with Shelton in the victory, but Komander definitely give more of a fight than either man expected. MVP then says we should leave with a souvenir! Shelton grabs at Komander’s mask! Abrahantes gets in the ring to stop Shelton, but then he sees MVP there. MVP grabs Abrahantes by the neck! MVP LARIATS Abrahantes down! MVP may be a manager now, but he can still hit other managers hard. Will nothing stop The Hurt Syndicate from owning AEW?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up. Jameson gives all the introductions, and looking at “P-P-Powerhouse,” all you people are expecting a meat madness match! You want meat?! Then yeah, chant it up! But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Bronson pumps up and puffs up, but he’s looking lean compared to Hobbs. Bronson runs, RAMS Hobbs, but Bronson bounces off! The fans fire up but the Savages coach Bronson up. Hobbs says stop playing and bring it! Hobbs SLAPS Bronson, so Bronson really fires up! Bronson kicks low, and says, “How ’bout that, Hobbs?!” Bronson runs, but Hobbs dodges and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Hobbs brings Bronson around. Scoop and SLAM, and the fans fire up with Hobbs! Hobbs then brings Bronson up to scoop and SLAM again! Bronson writhes, the fans chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!”
Hobbs drags Bronson up, scoops and SLAMS again! Bronson writhes while Hobbs looms over him. Hobbs brings Bronson up, but Bronson wrenches out to ROCK Hobbs! Bronson fires haymakers, then CLUBS away on Hobbs’ back! The fans rally, Bronson reels Hobbs in, but Hobbs suplexes Bronson first! Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!
Hobbs shakes the ropes, and the straps come down! The fans fire up but Jameson talks trash on the apron. Hobbs DECKS him! Boulder runs in?! Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! The ref can’t believe what’s going on as Hobbs torture racks Bronson! ARGENTINE RACK! Bronson TAPS, Hobbs wins! And drops Bronson on Boulder!
Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by submission
Big, jacked, and ANYBODY can get it! That is the way of the Powerhouse! Will the Book of Hobbs have quite the comeback story?
Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?
Private Party is here!
The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start.

Mortos roars, but Bowens sends him into the corner! Mortos tumbles up and out, then Bowens gives Rush the kick, kick, and FAMOUSER! Bowens shouts, “EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED!” Bowens then goes up and aims, SUPER CROSSBODY onto Mortos! The fans fire up and Bowens hurries to put Mortos in. Cover, TWO! Mortos stays in this, but Bowens stays focused. Bowens fires forearms but Mortos hits back.
Bowens fires a flurry, then whips, but Mortos reverses. Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS Bowens down! The fans fire up but Caster MISSILE DROPKCIKS Mortos! Rush runs up, but Caster SUPERKICKS him! Caster runs at Rush, but Rush THROWS him into the corner! Bowens DECKS Rush! The fans fire up as all four men are down! Private Party likes this, too, as Billy coaches his guys. Jake also coaches LFI, and “This is Awesome!” Mortos blocks a shot to HEADBUTT Bowens down! Tag to Rush and Rush runs at the corner, only for Bowens to dodge! Bowens CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS away!
Bowens sits Rush down, mocks the tranquilo with some scissor fingers, but that pisses Rush off! Rush shoves Bowens, the hands start flying! Rush whips Bowens to a corner, to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Rush sits Bowens down to stomp away! The ref counts, Rush argues with him, but then goes corner to corner! Feint and BOOT! Rush gives a proper tranquilo, then he has the fans fired up.

Mortos then runs at Caster, CANNONBALL MISSES! Hot tag to Bowens and he hits THE ARRIVAL on Mortos! MIC DROP from Caster!! Cover, ACCLAIMED WINS!
Winners: The Acclaimed, by pinfall (advance to Full Gear)
Private Party says alright, nice on Acclaimed! Billy helps Caster to his feet, but Caster is a bit squirrely. Caster calms down, and The Acclaimed all SCISSOR FINGER~! They’re in the Fatal 4, but will Caster & Bowens be the ones to become TWO-TIME TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions?
PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?
Anna already brings a duffel bag of weaponry, and Nigel panics for Mariah’s sake. But Mariah came prepared with a trash can, baseball bat, and proper attire for a Street Fight. The introductions are made, but Mariah throws her can already! Anna dodges then SHOTGUNS Mariah! The bell rings, Anna is right on Mariah, and she sends Mariah into the railing! And then the steel steps! And then back into railing! The fans fire up while Anna keeps after Mariah with haymakers. Anna whips Mariah hard into railing! The Vendetta watches backstage, they seem to like Anna bringing out the violence as she SMACKS Mariah off the desk!
Anna confiscates a monitor to SMACK Mariah on the back! Mariah falls into Schaivone’s arms, and Nigel is furiously jealous! Anna SMACKS Mariah off the apron, then grabs herself a chair, to SMACK Mariah with it legs first! Anna pushes Mariah into the ring, then goes up a corner. Mariah stands into Anna’s BLOCKBUSTER! The fans fire up as Anna keeps going, and she sits the chair up nearby. Anna drags Mariah up, but Mariah fires body shots! DDTÂ onto the chair! Anna falls back while Mariah snarls. Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.
Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!
Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again! Mariah flounders, Anna kicks things aside to then stomp Mariah down. Anna drags Mariah up to suplex her onto the chairs! Mariah writhes but Anna covers, TWO!! Mariah stays in this, but that just means more pain! Anna stalks Mariah and DIGS the prybar into her ribs! Mariah kicks Anna away, then fires forearms! Anna eggs Mariah on, so Mariah KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Anna toughs it out as Collision returns to single picture.
Mariah drags Anna up, for a SAIDO! Mariah then positions chairs before she fireman’s carries Anna. MADAYÂ on a chair! Cover, TWO!?! Anna survives and Mariah is furious! Mariah grits her teeth as she drags Anna up and reels her in. Anna fights free, kicks low, then has the Gory Especial! GORY BOMB onto the ladder!! The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first! Mariah bumps Anna off buckles, then SUPSER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS through the table!! Cover, TWO?!?! Anna survives and Mariah cannot believe it! But this is what winning the title with no safety net means for Anna! Mariah goes out, looks under the ring, and she brings out spare railing!?
Mariah pushes the railing into the ring, but she also brings some chairs over. Mariah sets the chairs up before she props the railing up like a ramp. Mariah adds more chairs, but Anna hits a BACKSTABBER first! Both women are down again, but Anna grabs herself some chairs. Anna finishes the project Mariah was working on, and the railing is now a platform! Anna drags Mariah over but Mariah HEADBUTTS first! Mariah then puts Anna on the railing, and looks to go through with her plan all along! The fans fire up as Mariah climbs, but Anna trips her up first! Anna climbs up, and she has Mariah on the very top! SUPERPLEXÂ on the railing!!!
The fans lose their minds as both women are wrecked on the steel bars! Nigel can’t bear to watch the replay! The fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Mariah rises up, but Anna flops out of the ring. Anna finds some BARBED WIRE! Anna looks to relive one of her highlights as she wraps the wire around her arm! Anna stalks Mariah, and has the BARBED WIRE QUEENSLAYER on!!! Mariah suffers and the fans say Anna is sick! Anna doesn’t care, she wants to be champion! Mariah fades, but she uses HAIR SPRAY IN THE EYES!! Mariah is free, and she reels Anna in, STORM ZEROÂ on a chair!! Cover, Mariah wins!!
Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.

MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him!

Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low!

Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT!

Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again.

Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up.

Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
