Good, because Strong won’t have a repeat of the Gauntlet. Brutus says they’re in the zone, but Strong brushes that off. Strong wants them to listen while he talks to them and Ivy. HE is the leader now, and what he says around here goes. So get it tonight, got it? The Creeds say okay, but is Strong getting a little headstrong?

Indi Hartwell frowns.

Her ring finger is now empty, and she’s also without a best friend. Duke Hudson walks in, knowing that feeling. But then he leans in and she tells him to back off. Oh, she wishes! They both storm out, but will they have no one else to lean on during these trying times?

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!

“The power of visualization has always been my roadmap to success.” She is a powerlifter, and knows it is just as mental as it is physical. No matter the weight, she picked it up. There are a great bracket of wrestlers but she is visualizing winning that contract. She vows to be THE winner of the tournament.

Toxic Attraction (minus Mandy) hit the beach!

Gigi & Jacy got a great parking spot. They won’t let what happened to Mandy ruin the day. Was it Wendy who did that to her? She’s obsessed with them! Everyone is, though.

Listen, Toxic Attraction makes everyone’s lives a living hell, so they’re gonna do it back! Let’s go. Gigi & Jacy soak up the sun, splash in the water, and have a good time. But Wendy & Roxie spring into action. They take the sandals, and the keys to the car, then run off.

Gigi & Jacy return and can’t find their shoes! They just bought those. Wait, where are the keys?! Who did this? “HEY, TOXIC!” Looking for these?

Which means walking on hot concrete. Ow ow ow. Will the pranks continue until Toxic Attraction fall to pieces?

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
