Fallon Henley speaks.
“Between those ropes, I’m hell on wheels. But outside the ring, I’m just a small town girl.” Fallon loves getting rowdy with Briggs & Brooks, but there is nothing like riding horses. She’s had her horse for most of her life. When her family bought the bar, they sold the ranch but kept Luna. Fallon will show Luna a women’s championship match contract. This tournament will be Fallon’s chance to show what she can do! Will Fallon be roping herself a big win in the inaugural NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament?
The sit-down meeting is happening at Fresco’s.
Legado del Fantasma waits, and finally Tony D’Angelo and company arrive. Wilde gets mad that they’re late, but Tony tells “Jacklyn,” when you’re The Don, everyone waits on you. They all sit down, and Escobar wonders why AJ Galante is here. This is supposed to be about their factions. AJ is Tony’s confidant, part of the family. In Tony’s business, you need someone to give guidance. But he doesn’t belong here. Tony says this is to keep things from escalating to a place Escobar doesn’t want to be, and Tony doesn’t want to go. They’re both powerful men, in their respective circles. And they got off on the wrong foot.
Tony is gracious. He will look past the disrespect, both knowing and unknowingly. Tonight, they settle this as business men. Escobar respects how Tony carries himself, but not as businessmen. Everyone knows they can trust Escobar. But he can’t trust Tony. He offered Tony a courtesy he offers very few, but Tony played games. The fish on the windshield and these two goofs he has going after him. Those games brought us to this point. No, no, craps and poker are games. Even Yahtzee. Stacks and Two Dimes are some mean dice players. There’s enough business to go around. Enough pie for everyone. They want similar things, but they’re at two very different points in the journey.
Tony wants to build from scratch but Escobar is adding to an existing empire. Maybe they can come together and share business. Since Escobar has a proven track record, Tony can just sit back and follow his lead. Tony’s the Don, he don’t follow nobody! Is Escobar crazy? Galante calms Tony down, and Escobar says this tension is not good for anyone. Now that they know each other better, let’s call a truce. Tony apologizes for getting hot. Escobar apologizes for not fully understanding Tony. Galante reminded Tony that this is what’s best for family. Peace is what’s best for Escobar. And that’s what’s best for Tony.
Then they’ll make a deal. Escobar pushes a glass of wine to Tony. They’ll toast to peace. They sip, and Tony says he’ll see Escobar around. Tony’s group leaves, and Escobar has Cruz start the car. Is this a peace that will last? Or will there be blood, sweat and tears spilt soon enough?
Backstage interview with The Viking Raiders.
Erik & Ivar are back and going against the Creed Brothers. There is no doubt Julius & Brutus are world-class, but they’ve never been in a battle. All the gym training won’t mean a thing when they’re in a fight with two grown ass men! Prepare the battlefield, because the raid is here!” But then Pretty Deadly mock the Raiders. They can’t wait to see them smash the Creeds. The Vikings mean business, but they’re just facing damaged goods after what Kit & Prince did to them. Ivar says if these two interrupt them again, they’ll see who is damaged goods. They came here with one goal in mind, but they’ll happily change focus to the champs. Uh, no thanks. Good luck!
Joe Gacy speaks.
“I understand change can be intimidating. But don’t be frightened by change. Change is necessary for the world to evolve and become a better place.” Gacy promises to be the world changer, the barrier breaker, and bring us to a new beginning! They should only fear what happens if Gacy doesn’t win the title. But don’t be afraid, because Gacy will change the world!

They shake hands, Escobar says something in Spanish, and then KNEES Galante down! Wilde & Del Toro put Galante in the van, and Legado drives away! They just kidnapped Galante!! What will Tony D do to get his confidant back?
Alba Fyre speaks.
“The tiniest flicker can spark a flame. And in seconds, it can spread into a raging fire. Run from your heritage, or face who you are. I scorched the present to light my future’s past.” Next week, KLR ignites her rebirth! Will she blaze a trail to the top of NXT?
Josh Briggs checks on Brooks Jensen.
Brooks insists he’s fine but the medics say otherwise. Briggs says he’ll get Von Wagner back for this. But what’s Brooks’ recovery time? Normally, 10 to 12 weeks. But because the hand is very strong, it’ll be much shorter. Though, is there a particular reason the right hand is so much stronger than his left? Uh… He’s right handed, right? YES! That’s it. Because 85% of the world is right handed. They can get a cast, and it’ll just be 6 to 8 weeks of recovery. Nice! High-five! Oh, no, no, bad idea. But will Brooks be able to keep on that recovery schedule so he can help Briggs against vicious Von?
NXT Championship: Bron Breakker VS Joe Gacy!
The Big Booty Nephew already a TWO-TIME NXT Champion, thanks to the support of his father and uncle, the Steiner Brothers. But as such, the “barrier breaker” tried to break Bron by kidnapping his father and stealing Rick Steiner’s WWE Hall of Fame ring. Bron got both back, but now he wants revenge. Will Bron get that and then some? Or will Gacy change the world of wrestling entertainment by taking away Bron’s prized possession?
Bron sees a power switch. He flips it on, and color returns to the world as the sirens wail. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see the fate of NXT decided to close Spring Breakin’!
The two tie up right away and then fall right out of the ring! Bron gets Gacy in quickly, they tie up again, and end up going along the ropes. Gacy headbutts Bron! But Bron TCKLES Gacy! Gacy scrambles away to the outside and Bron waits on him. Champin’s Advantage, after all. Gacy creeps to the ropes but backs away as Bron rushes over. Gacy goes around the outside, gets up again, but Bron catches him! Bron hip tosses Gacy in, and says Gacy’s gonna pay for what he did. Gacy say she did it for Bron. Then he throws Bron into buckles! Bron shrugs that off easy, and Gacy wants Bron to hold on.
Bron RAMS Gacy into the corner, digs his shoulder in, but lets off at 4. Gacy ROCKS Bron, then clamps on a facelock. Gacy cranks the hold, then CLUBS away on Bron. Gacy gets around and has a neck wrench. Fans rally but Gacy digs his forearm into Bron’s face. Bron fights up, fans rally, and Bron JAWBREAKERS! Gacy staggers, Bron tosses him out! Fans fire up as Bron BOOTS Gacy from the apron, then BOOTS him again! Gacy throws a body shot and a headbutt! Gacy gets in to run and CLOBBER Bron off the apron! Bron hits the ramp and then Gacy pursues. Gacy drags Bron up and whips him at the apron, only for Bron to reverse. But Gacy tiger feints to LARIAT Bron down!
NXT goes picture in picture as Gacy puts Bron in. Gacy stomps away on Bron, then DECKS him with a right. Bron gets to a corner, but Gacy RAMS into him. Gacy whips Bron hard into a corner, and Bron hits the mat. Gacy clamps on a chinlock to drag Bron into body scissors. Bron endures the squeeze, pries at the scissors, but Gacy claws at Bron’s face! Gacy CLUBS Bron, squeezes tighter, but fans rally. Bron fights to move around, turns around in the scissors, and he rains down forearms! Gacy headbutts back and keeps on the body scissor squeeze! Gacy gets up to KNEE Bron in the back!
Gacy drags Bron up, reels him in and suplexes! Gacy looms over Bron, clamps onto him and KNEES him in the back. And again! Gacy drags Bron up to CLUB him down, then brings him up for a scoop and SLAM. Cover, TWO! Gacy clamps onto Bron again, trapping an arm while putting on a chinlock. Bron endures and NXT returns to single picture. Bron fights back, goes up a corner, but Gacy YANKS him down! Gacy tumbles up the corner and hangs there like a bat. Gacy then rolls and URENAGES Bron down! Cover, TWO! Gacy snarls, he stands on Bron, ONE, so Gacy drops the leg, brother! Cover, TWO!
Fans rally, Gacy drags Bron into an armlock. Gacy digs his forearm into Bron’s face but Bron endures. Bron fights up but Gacy chinbars and bends Bron back. Bron still fights up, but one of Gacy’s druids is in the crowd. Bron ROCKS Gacy, Gacy HEADBUTTS, then headbutts again and again on the ropes! Gacy runs, but Bron FLAJACKS Him! Bron rallies with clotheslines, ducks and dodges, then CLOBBERS Gacy! Bron sees the followers appearing, but Gacy ELBOWS Bron, into a REVERSE DDT! Cover, TWO! Fans rally and duel, perhaps the influence of the druids playing a part. Bron is at the ropes, Gacy runs in and BOOTS him out of the ring!
Gacy builds speed and DIVES, but Bron CLOBBERS him! Gacy gets stuck in ropes, Bron gets in to go up the corner. Bron FLYING BULLDOGS Gacy down! Cover, TWO! Gacy survives Rick Steiner’s move but Bron keeps his cool. Bron goes to a corner, aims at Gacy, and runs in, but Gacy dodges. Bron stops from hitting buckles and he BOOTS Gacy down. The straps come down, Bron trophy lifts but Gacy slips out. Gacy CLUBS Bron, runs, but into a RANA! Bron then clinches, for a BELLY2BELLY! Cover, TWO! Bron is growing frustrated but fans rally behind him. Bron gets Gacy back up, puts him in a corner, and RAMS his shoulder in.
Bron goes corner to corner, but Gacy dodges! Bron hits buckles, Gacy drops a BIG elbow! Gacy hauls Bron up, Alabama lift for an ALABAMA SLAM! Gacy keeps going, SIT-OUT POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!! Bron survives and Gacy is shocked! Gacy grits his teeth and gets back up. Gacy drags Bron up and shouts, “I’M NOT DONE! I’m gonna take that title away from you!” Gacy headbutts, handsprings, but Bron ducks and SPEARS! Cover, Bron wins!
Winner: Bron Breakker, by pinfall (still NXT Champion)
Gacy says he wasn’t done, but Bron told him otherwise! Bron is still THE champion, but the druids have crept up to the ring! What are they planning for the second generation superstar?
My Thoughts:
This was a great night for NXT, though I’m not sure it needed to be themed. The only reason it was “Spring Breakin'” seems to be so we could get those bikini scenes with Toxic Attraction. The NXThirst was strong tonight, that’s for sure. But I did like that Wendy & Roxie pranked them all, and that’ll set up even more between these teams as we go. Then maybe it compels Mandy to give Wendy a title match at some other themed episode during the Summer. Great opener out of the North American Championship Triple Threat, but being a Triple Threat, I figured Grimes would retain by pinning Solo. Now we can get Melo VS Grimes 1v1 down the line, and who knows how that goes.
Good promo out of Frazer before his match with Waller, and that was a great match. I love that Chase U had a part to play, I bet Waller goes after Chase and Bodhi soon enough, but this was a great start for Frazer in NXT. I hope we see Frazer get in on the North American Championship scene once Grimes and Melo wrap things up. Good promos out of Fallon and Tatum, but boy the way they did Tatum’s video, it makes her seem like the number one seed in the Women’s Breakout Tournament. I feel like that won’t be the case, but this could go a long way to Tatum’s story with Ivy Nile of finally getting into Diamond Mine.
Speaking of Diamond Mine, a damn shame WWE couldn’t convince Malcolm Bivens to stay, that really dings the story between him and Strong, but it is what it is sometimes when someone wants out. Sadly, Strong wanted out of WWE, too, but WWE said no because they at least still want to use him. Creeds VS Viking Raiders was pretty good stuff, though they had Julius bury the Viking Raiders’ finisher there. Strong giving the Creeds a win with that blindside attack was good stuff, though, and it brings about more of a divide within the faction. If WWE is keeping Strong, I hope that means he kicks the Creeds out of Diamond Mine to replace them with Heels. Fans are behind the Creeds, Julius & Brutus will be Faces and they can take the fight to Strong and whoever else.
Pretty Deadly had good bits tonight. The opening vignette swerve was pretty funny, and their interaction with the Viking Raiders was good, too. I definitely hope we see Pretty Deadly VS Viking Raiders over the titles, and then the Creeds get the winners. The sit-down meeting for Legado and Team Tony D was fairly good, and I almost thought the wine was going to be poisoned. Instead, Legado just straight up kidnaps Galante! Tony will certainly hear about this, and he’ll definitely have a match with Escobar for the fate of Galante, and I would think Tony wins that as he’s somehow the Face in this story.
There is so much to what we got out of Indi and Duke backstage. This was a very clever way for NXT to reference the truly moronic decisions of upper WWE management. They released Persia and Dexter when there was still the story of InDex & Dusia! Some of the dumbest releases in a long time for WWE, and now it seems Indi and Duke will end up gravitating towards each other because that’s the only thing left for them after what WWE did. Maybe WWE smartens up and brings Persia and Dexter back, or they’ll continue to be morons and have the story drag on.
Gacy had a good promo to hype up tonight, and we got a great main event for the title. It was all pretty clear Bron was going to win, because he wasn’t about to go on another title comeback story so soon. But I did like that Gacy’s druids showed up little by little at ringside, I just wish they were played up even more to make it seem like Bron was in danger. But those druids showing up at the very end, with those very different red hoods, only for NXT to end there, that was very confusing. Couldn’t they spare one more minute for something to happen? Maybe we’ll get an exclusive on social media, but I wish we got to see it play out to end the night.
My Score: 8.8/10

The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans fire up for Ospreay as he and Ricochet circle. The fans also sing, “F HIM UP, OSPREAY, F HIM UP!” Ricochet shrugs that off, he and Ospreay tie up, and then Ricochet rolls. Ospreay shoots in, waistlocks, but Ricochet switches. They go around, Ricochet gator rolls with Ospreay, then floats to a headlock. Ricochet wrenches, hammerlocks then headlocks again.

The fans boo but Ricochet takes the toilet paper to wipe himself, then he SMOTHERS Ospreay with it!
The fans boo that literally disgusting act of disrespect, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Ricochet taunts the fans, then drags Ospreay up. Ricochet puts Ospreay in, soaks up more heat, then KNEE-BOARD SENTONS! Ricochet swaggers to taunt the fans more, then he goes back to Ospreay.

The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?
Adam Cole heads to the ring!
The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.
MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.
When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.
Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.
Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!
In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.
But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.
But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!
Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!
But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?
Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.
“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?
Kris Statlander VS Penelope Ford!
As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?
The bell rings and the fans rally as Kris circles with Ford. They tie up, Kris powers Ford to a corner, then throws Ford back into the corner! The ref counts, Kris lets off, but Ford shoves her! Kris ROCKS Ford, TOSSES her, then runs up on her. Kris whips, drops down, then hurdles over. Kris CLOBBERS Ford and the fans fire up as she flexes. Kris drags Ford up, reels her in, and suplexes, and she holds Ford up! The fans cheer and Kris goes all the way to TEN, but Ford slips into a SLEEPER! Kris pries the hold open and she brings Ford around for another suplex! The fans fire up as Kris holds Ford up for five before the SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Kris drags Ford up, whips her to the corner, but Ford goes up, only for Kris to Electric Chair Lift! Kris climbs, Ford fights with fists, and she shoves Kris down! Ford steadies herself, then hits a FLYING BLOCKBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford is frustrated but she storms up on Kris. Ford bumps Kris off buckles but the fans rally behind Kris. Ford stomps a mudhole, but she lets off as the ref counts. Kris goes to the apron, but Ford jumps up to drop KNEES on her! The fans boo but Ford soaks up the heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Ford brings Kris around to THROW her into railing! Ford soaks up more heat, then drags Kris up and RAMS her into the apron! Ford refreshes the count, then stalks Kris around the way.

Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?
Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.
They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!
And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.
But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!
The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-
Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?
Backstage interview with The Vendetta.
Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.
Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?

“Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. I’m no coward. What you call tricks, I call advantages. I suggested that you watch your back. I gave you all the warnings. So I’m not understanding why you feel the need to call me classless and sneaky. I thought I was being more than reasonable. I know you’re strong, but are you smart? Are my ‘tricks’ too much for you? I guess we’ll find out January 1st, Fight for the Fallen. But remember: The House Always Wins.” The Princess of the Black Throne is ready, but will she learn Hayter Hits Hard?

Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!

Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?
Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!

Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?
Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)
If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.
Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.
And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10
