Despite Strong’s concerns, Julius & Brutus get the job done! They are still golden, but they also respect Malik & Edris for that fight. Will we see these two teams face off again some day?

 

Cora Jade, Roxanne Perez & Indi Hartwell talk backstage.

Well, more like Cora and Roxie talk. Indi is a third wheel as the two best friends reminisce about wrestling and traveling. New York was a hilariously bad time, Cora lost her gear and had to borrow some of Roxie’s. Indi remembers the days when she had her best friend by her side. Those were the days. But some advice from the “old wily veteran” of the three of them: Be careful. NXT is crazy. You never know what will happen next. Old and wily? Indi, you’re 25, not 45. Uh, she was tag team champion before Cora could drink or Roxie could drive. Oh, remember in Philly when they took Roxie’s cousin’s car-

Not the time for that story, Cora. But Indi is just overcompensating. She’s not some third wheel. They all have something in common: they despise Toxic Attraction. And right now, they need the Indi that was a one woman wrecking ball! They believe in her, and this three headed monster will stop Toxic Attraction. Indi’s pumped, they all high-ten, but will they be able to tear down the champions of NXT?

 

Apollo Crews sits in a diner.

He sips his coffee, then looks at his journal. He narrates while he writes, “Life is a seesaw of breakthroughs and setbacks. But time constantly moves forward. Time waits for no man. I’ve achieved great success in WWE, career making moments, but every once in awhile, I hear those echoes deep inside my soul. The echoes of those three letters, N X T. And last week, when my music hit, it was like time stood still. Time is uncontrollable, but I can control my future. I have the opportunity to go back and fill a blank spot in my career.”

Apollo is snapped out of his writing by a man complaining about his meal being late. He demands service, but Apollo imagines walking up and confronting the man. If the man were to get angry with Apollo, Apollo would slam the man down. So in reality, Apollo walks right up and asks the man if there is a problem. And just as he imagined, the man gets in Apollo’s face, so here comes the slam! Will Apollo envision himself becoming NXT Champion, and then execute that plan?

 

Tiffany Stratton VS Fallon Henley w/ Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen!

Daddy’s Little Rich Girl doesn’t notice Wendy Choo stalking her on her Hippity Hop, mostly because she’s too focused on herself. But will Wendy be the only one saying “Giddy-up” tonight? Or will Fallon get vengeance for the Breakout Tournament BS Tiffany pulled off?

NXT returns and Fallon makes her entrance, the boys in tow. The bell rings and Fallon rushes Tiffany, and Tiffany hides in the ropes. Tiffany wants Fallon to back off, then she pulls Fallon’s hair to put her in the corner. The ref counts, Tiffany lets off and SLAPS Fallon. Fallon is pissed and she SLAPS Tiffany right back! Fans fire up, Fallon trips Tiffany and rains down forearms! Tiffany kicks Fallon away but Fallon comes back with a CALF KICK! Fans fire up with Fallon, she slides, but into the apron skirt! Tiffany SMACKS Fallon off the apron, then drags her up and into the ring to TOSS her!

Fans rally, Fallon hits back but Tiffany tosses her again! Tiffany goes up, out and KNEE-BOARD SENTONS back in! Cover, TWO! Fans fire up, Tiffany drags Fallon around and traps her arms. Tiffany bridges back to bend and stretch Fallon! Fallon endures, the boys rally the fans and they all rally for Fallon. Fallon claws at Tiffany and drags her down to a cover, TWO! Tiffany is furious but Fallon ROCKS her first! And again! Tiffany CHOPS, but Fallon DECKS Tiffany! Fallon brings Tiffany up, whips, but Tiffany reverses, only for Fallon to hit a FACEBUSTER! And a short arm LARIAT! Fans fire up, Fallon runs in to back elbow in the corner!

Fallon keeps moving, but into a kitchen sink knee! Tiffany runs to DOUBLE STOMP! Cover, TWO! Tiffany is frustrated, she drags Fallon by her hair, but Fallon KICKS her away! Fallon gets up and runs in but Tiffany fireman’s carries! SAMOAN DROP! Tiffany kips up and talks trash, but here comes Wendy! Wendy SPLASHES Tiffany, with confetti! Fallon drags Tiffany into a cradle, and wins!!

Winner: Fallon Henley, by pinfall

Payback for both Fallon and Wendy on that spoiled brat! Will Tiffany throw a hissy fit to Daddy over this?

 

Cameron Grimes walks the halls.

Young prospects tell him it was a hell of a fight at In Your House, but sorry about the loss. Grimes appreciates them saying that, but he’s not looking for sympathy. Grimes continues on but Bron Breakker is there. Bron knows what it’s like to lose a title, and he knows Grimes will be a champion again some day. Grimes says again, not looking for sympathy. Grimes heads off, and Duke Hudson speaks up. “It’s not really a good idea to be putting ideas in the head of Cameron Grimes.” And what does Duke want? Well, nice to see you, too, Bron. But to remind Bron of something, the record books show that Duke has a win over Bron.

And how long is he going to hang his hat on a disqualification win? For as long as he can. A win’s a win. Well, here’s an idea. They should have a rematch tonight. And before Duke asks what’s in it for him, Bron will put the title on the line. Duke likes the sound of that. Then Bron’s going to put the match on the books. Has Duke just suckered Bron into a gamble he can’t win? Or will Bron show Duke this isn’t as easy as a game of cards?

 

Lash Legend speaks.

“I am done with Alba Fyre and her ancient history. So let’s chat it up about the one and only Lash Legend, because I’m a world-class athlete. I was ranked number 2 in the nation in the 400 meter dash, while also dominating the 800, the long jump, the triple jump, I did it all. Not only did I have Track & Field on lock, but your girl can ball, too. I broke every basketball record at my high school, on the way to becoming a McDonald’s All American, and had every Power 500 Conference school looking at your girl.” Lash selected Texas A&M then broke the NCAA rebound record with 27 in a single game. Records are made to be broken, except her records.

Lash then transferred to Mississippi State, where she led the team to a #1 seed in the tournament, then dropped 30 points in the Elite 8 game. Later that year, she was drafted to the WNBA by the Seattle Storm. But then when COVID hit, everything shut down. But instead of waiting around, Lash took her talent to the WWE to dominate a whole ‘nother profession. Her background is all about dominating, so she will gladly put out Alba’s fire, okay?

 

Wes Lee VS Xyon Quinn!

The Must-See Kid and the Fighting Gentleman are one and one in 1v1 competition, but now it is time to break that tie! Will Lee show Xyon that last time wasn’t a fluke? Or will Xyon #RunItStraight right through Lee?

NXT returns and Xyon makes his entrance. The bell rings and the two rush each other! Lee rolls Xyon, TWO!! Lee keeps on Xyon with fast hands from all sides, and even some KICKS! But Xyon turns a boot into a lift, only for Lee to spin that around. Xyon is too big for the victory roll, though, so Lee KANGAROO KICKS from below! Lee goes for a leg, Xyon gut wrenches to a Canadian Rack and hangs Lee out to dry! Xyon fires off body shots but the fans boo. Xyon YANKS the ropes, but Lee lands on his feet! Lee dodges, ducks and redirects to slide under, only to run into the wall that is Xyon! Fans boo as Xyon looms over Lee.

Xyon stomps Lee, but Lee grabs at the foot. Xyon makes this a cover, TWO! Lee kicks from below while fans rally. Xyon still digs his boot in, but Lee CLUBS the leg! Xyon grabs Lee’s arm, yanks him up off the mat and TOSSES him in the same motion! Lee flounders to ropes, Xyon runs in, and he RAMS Lee into the ropes! Fans still rally for Lee but Xyon picks him up and TOSSES him again! Xyon seems to be enjoying toying with Lee as Lee gets to a corner. Xyon runs in, but Lee goes up and over! Xyon hits buckles, Lee handsprings to PELE Xyon down! Lee hurries to the corner and to the top rope! SKY TWISTER SENTON! Cover, Lee wins!!

Winner: Wes Lee, by pinfall

No one can question that win! Lee makes this Must-See, but will we see Lee get back to the top?

 

Joe Gacy speaks.

“The time has come. We will show the world what you can do.” Gacy smiles as his Dyad is heading to gorilla. But just who are under those hoods? And will they be victorious in changing the NXT Tag Division?

 

NXT takes a closer look at Nathan Frazer.

The British Prodigy grew up in Jersey. Not New Jersey, but the original, the Jersey Islands closer to France than it is to England. To understand how small it is, think about this: Jersey Island fits into Rhode Island twenty-six times. You’re never more than five minutes from a beach, so the beach is where Frazer spent most of his time. He would flip off things into the sea and get a rush of adrenaline. Frazer was always full of energy, so he was either pretending to be his favorite WWE Superstars, or he’d be paying soccer.

His parents realized he had a gift for soccer, so he played every single second he could. But at night, he dreamed of being in the ring, not on the pitch. Frazer would be on the wing, take risks, push the offense, and even had chances in the pro leagues. He could’ve tried that, but he wanted to be a pro-wrestler. His heart wanted to be where the WWE was, and that meant taking the biggest risk of all. One chance is all he needs. Will Frazer fight his way to that chance? Stay tuned for more of Frazer’s story.

 

The Dyad w/ Joe Gacy VS Dante Chen & Javier Bernal!

NXT returns as Gacy is already in the ring with his minions, and they’re taking on the Singaporean Warrior and Level Up’s best kept secret. Will the Dyad do their demented mentor proud? Will they even take off their hoods?

The teams sort out and now, the hoods don’t come off. The shorter druid starts against Bernal, fans chant, “Take the Hoods Off!” as Bernal waits on the druid to make a move. Bernal isn’t sure what to do but then he gets CLOBBERED by the druid! The druid rains down fists, but Bernal gets up to hit back! Bernal dodges then dropkicks the druid to the corner! SPALSH and tag to Chen, and Chen goes corner to corner to SPLASH, too! Feed to a drop toehold, then an elbow drop! Cover, TWO! Chen throws hands on the druid, but Gacy smiles? Chen whips but the druid rebounds to CLOBBER Chen! Fans boo but this druid drags Chen over to tag the other.

The Dyad mug Chen, then claw at his face! The ref counts, the taller druid RAMS Chen’s face right into buckles! Druid #2 throws hands, then DECKS Chen! Fans taunt the druids, “How Can You See?” but Druid 2 just keeps throwing hands. Short arm LARIAT! The druid drags Chen up to DECK him again! Tag back to the first druid, and the Dyad mugs Chen again. The ref counts, the Dyad stops and Druid 2 goes back to the corner. Druid 1 drags Chen up, whips him to a corner but Chen holds ropes. Chen BOOTS back but Druid 2 tags in! Druid 2 keeps Chen from Bernal but Chen ROCKS Druid 2! Hot tag to Bernal!

Fans fire up as Bernal dodges, then fires off forearms! And KICK after KICK and a dropkick! Bernal pops Druid 2 into the atomic drop, and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Then a SLIDING LARIAT! Bernal is all fired up and fans fire up with him, TORNADO- NO! The druid stops that and CLOBBERS Bernal! Tag to Druid 1, he runs to CLOBBER Chen off the apron! The Dyad then focuses on Bernal, and they get him up for the ASSISTED DRAPING DDT! Cover, The Dyad wins!

Winners: The Dyad, by pinfall

Gacy is all smiles, but even more so because his minions were victorious. But will we ever learn who these two are? Gacy gets a mic to say, “The Dyad have taken the steps to the next point in their progression.” Fans tell Gacy to shut up but he says not to judge the Dyad for wanting a sense of belonging. “This society, this cesspool, YOUR negativity, have made these two men feel inferior. When they both deserve to feel superior. And I know in my heart they are not alone. There are many other people that feel the same way. There is a schism between the three of us and NXT 2.0, and it will continue until this becomes a place of acceptance and believes in our message. Thank you.”

Gacy smiles again, but will there be others to join him and his druids? Or will there be those to stand up and stop them instead?

 

Sanga talks with Yulisa Leon and Valentina Feroz.

Yulisa invites the gentle giant to join her for Mexican food, like Tacos de Costa Rica. Xyon storms past and Sanga says, “My friend! You are no longer the running it straight. You are walking straight.” The hell did he say? Who does Sanga think he is?! He thinks he’s funny? Xyon dares Sanga to show him how tough he is. Sanga stands up, and that seems more than enough to back Xyon down. Xyon storms off, and Sanga tells the ladies that he’s found his next opponent. Is there a new gentleman fighter in NXT?

 

Nikkita Lyons speaks.

“I was ready to break out and win that contract. But a partially torn MCL forced me to withdraw from the tournament. It was disheartening, but it’s only made me hungrier to get back in that ring.” She’s getting stronger every day, and training like an animal to make her return. Watch out, because soon, you will hear Lyons roar again.

 

The D’Angelo Family, and Legado, make their way to the ring.

Tony D’Angelo brings his lieutenants, Troy Donovan & Channing Lorenzo, to the ring and this is a very special occasion. The Don gets a mic to say, “Let’s begin our business, huh?” He calls Two Dimes over, and he says he remembers when he first met Dimes at Nick Mancini’s fourth birthday party. Dimes knocked Fisher right on his face. Awesome stuff. And for Stacks, Tony and Stacks met when they were six years old, and Stacks’ father asked Tony who he thought would win that year’s Kentucky Derby. Tony picked Warhammer, and ever since then, the business took off.

But look. Ever since making that phone call to bring Dimes & Stacks here, they’ve given their all to The Family. They’ve sacrificed again and again, and stepped up big, for The Family. Highlight reel shows that Stacks took the crowbar shot at In Your House so Tony could knock out Wilde and they could win as a team. Tony is so proud of them! And ever since they got here, they’ve given everything to the Family. Congratulations to Dimes & Stacks on their promotions! They’re not just associates, they’re soldiers of the family! Let’s hear it for ’em! Fans boo but Tony brings his boys to the table.

Because business has been booming, with appreciation to Legado, Tony has a sign of appreciation for his boys. Those watches look great, but Legado feels their watches look better. Tony also gives Dimes a bit of something to get a nice steak dinner, and Stacks can take his girl, Marie, somewhere nice. Dimes & Stacks thank the Don, and Tony tells Legado, “Listen to me! You don’t follow him anymore. He’s not Jefe, I am! You take orders from me!” But in this thing, there’s a code they live by. It is a code of silence, an oath of loyalty. Now only in word but in actions. Never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouths shut. Understand?!

Tony shakes Wilde’s hand, then shakes Cruz’s hand. He offers a handshake to Escobar, fans chant “NO! NO! NO!” but Escobar is a man of his word and shakes Tony’s hand. Good boys. Now, ladies and gentlemen, Tony now has the strongest family in all of NXT! So it is about time that The Don not only has that title, but a title around his waist! The title of A Champion- But speaking of, here comes Carmelo Hayes! Escobar smirks behind Tony’s back as Melo & Trick have mics to respond. “Hey, Tony. I know I didn’t hear you talking about my A Championship, because this whole Don of NXT thing must be going to your head. Because you don’t want no problems with me, or my title.”

Tony tells Melo that he was warned to stay out of Tony’s business “or else.” Interrupting Tony is a bad move. Now Melo and that title are Tony’s business. Trick tells Tony that they don’t take kindly to threats. So before Tony tries to come see the, they’ll come see him. Tony wasn’t talking to Trick! Now Melo, as great as you think you are, and you are great, you still ain’t The Don. They don’t call the shots, Tony does! So Tony VS Melo for the North American Championship is happening next week! Done deal! Melo nods, accepting those terms. Stacks says they look good tonight, maybe he and Dimes soften the chuckleheads up.

Tony likes that idea. What does Melo say? Melo says he doesn’t call shots, he just makes shots! And Tony’s boys look like easy lay-ups. Trick says it doesn’t matter if they’re Two Dimes, Three Pennies, or Five Quarters, because tonight, they strap up the boots up, make the ring talk, and make spare change out of all them boys! That’s all it is, and that’s all it’s gon’ be! Will Melo & Trick shoot, score and shut Tony up?

 

Mandy Rose speaks.

She lounges while saying that tonight, “Little Miss Breakout,” Roxanne Perez, is stepping up into the big leagues when her and her friends face THE attraction of NXT. And after that match, Roxie will be begging NXT to give that contract back. Jacy says Cora and Roxie are “so perfect’ for each other. Misery loves company, right? Or rather, failure loves company. Who even wants to be friends with them anyway? Gigi says it seems like Indi would. “She’s the most desperate in all of NXT. Hell, she’d be friends with this plant if it’d listen to her complain about her pathetic life.” Tonight, Toxic Attraction will show why they’re the most dominant group in NXT history!

 

NXT Championship: Bron Breakker VS Duke Hudson!

The Big Booty Nephew kept his cool and kept his title against Gacy In Your House, and now he looks to deal with Duke. Will The Most Smug Wrestler in the World finally be humbled? Or will he just get more arrogant after taking this title out of nowhere?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and Duke attacks from behind! Duke stomps Bron to a corner but the ref backs him off. Bron still wants this, and the bell rings. Bron dodges Duke to GERMAN SUPLEX! And then FLYING SHOULDER! And another shoulder! Bron ducks, dodges, and picks Duke up for a POWERSLAM! The straps come down, Bron aims at Duke and runs in to SPEAR!! Bron roars while Duke writhes, and Bron hauls Duke up for a trophy lift! BREAKKER SLAM!! Cover, Bron wins!

Winner: Bron Breakker, by pinfall (still NXT Champion)

And just like that, it’s over! Bron busts Duke, but then here comes Cameron Grimes! The Carolina Cash Money Caveman has a mic to tell Bron Breakker, “I really just wanted to come out here and finish our conversation that we started earlier. Since Bron Breakker’s gotten to NXT and took this place by storm, we haven’t really had a chance to talk yet.” Bron says then Grimes can get in the ring. Grimes says that where he is in the business, he doesn’t really care. Grimes will tell Bron just what’s on his mind. Every single fan here knows that if Bron didn’t have his real last name, he wouldn’t have that title.

Now don’t get Grimes wrong, Bron, Grimes respects you. He truly does. He’s not saying Bron ate off a silver platter, but he damn sure ate better than Grimes did. But that’s what happens, right? In this business, Bron’s daddy was a legend and has a Hall of Fame ring. A great guy, Grimes enjoyed his work. But that’s the problem. Everyone knows who Bron’s daddy is, and no one knew who Grimes’ daddy was. But that’s fine, really. But it’s still a problem. Bron got everything because of his dad, who got to sit ringside when Bron won the title. Grimes’ dad didn’t. His dad had to look DOWN on his boy winning a title.

Grimes respects Bron, because Bron is built like a truck. And the worst thing is, when Bron gets in the ring, he gets better and better. But what Bron doesn’t have is Grimes’ heart, and Grimes puts his heart up against anyone in this business. Grimes is tired of cutting the line, of who is next, of catchphrases and all that, because if he’s going to say he’s going to the moon, then he better launch the rocket and go to the moon! BRON VS GRIMES, GREAT AMERICAN BASH, for the NXT CHAMPIONSHIP! Bron accepts with a handshake, and Grimes has his match! Will this battle of hearts, blood and gold come with fireworks at The Bash?

 

Tatum Paxley is on the phone.

Yeah, she saw it. She has stuff she has to work on. Ivy Nile walks in and Tatum says bye. Tatum hangs up and says she already knows what Ivy’s going to say. No, she doesn’t. Ivy saw Tatum putting in work, trying to prove herself. Ivy encourages Tatum to keep it up. But then Strong and Kemp walk over and Strong asks what Ivy is up to. Ivy buried that girl these last few months! But she’s changing Ivy’s mind. Oh? More like making excuses. Strong always says, no excuses in Diamond Mine! No matter what, you overcome. But then The Creeds walk over and Strong asks them what the heck with that handshake after the match! You put the nail in the coffin and move on.

Okay, noted. But hey, they’ve got great news! After their first title defense, Julius & Brutus admit, Strong was right. But thing is… Brutus is more of a visual learner, so Julius booked Strong and Kemp a match for next week! That way, Strong can show the Creeds how it’s done. Strong complains about his ankle but Ivy says no excuses, right? They use Strong’s words against him and now Strong gets fired up. Strong brings Kemp along, will Strong be able to show us all the Diamond Mine way?

 

NXT receives one more message in Italian.

“The time has come to show the world who he is. Prepare for his arrival as NXT will never be the same. Veni Vidi Vinci.” Giovanni Vinci is in action, after the break!

 

Backstage interview with The Robert Stone Brand.

McKenzie notes it was a “disappointing” loss for Von Wagner to Josh Briggs, but he’ll be taking on Brooks Jensen next. Stone has McKenzie bring the mic to him, and he says that the guy’s name isn’t “Brooks Jensen.” It’s Cheater, because that’s the only way Briggs won. And Sophia Cromwell promises us that you will never see that happen again. Next week, it is 1v1, Von VS Brooks. No one else ringside, even her and Stone. But Von will still show the world his dominance. Stone seems a bit surprised about that news, but will it still be Wagner’s World without Stone and Cromwell?

 

Giovanni Vinci VS ???

Shedding the past that was Fabian Aichner, soldier of Imperium, the stylish and sophisticated soul of #VeniVidiVinci can finally shine! But will Giovanni’s future be bright? Or will Guru Raaj put a damper on this (re)debut?

The bell rings and the two circle. Raaj and Vinci tie up, Vinci wrenches and arm-drags Raaj to an armlock. Raaj endures, fights to a headscissors, but Vinci shrugs that off to roll Raaj and wrench his arm again. Raaj endures, fans duel, and Raaj fights up. Vinci wrenches again but Raaj rolls and wrenches back. Vinci rolls and kips over and over and over again to then wrench and arm-drag Raaj away! Vinci RAMS into Raaj, headlocks for the takeover, and he even winks at the camera. Raaj endures, keeps his shoulders up, and fans rally up. Raaj fights to his feet, throws body shots, but Vinci CLUBS him down!

Vinci drags Raaj up, scoops him, but Raaj slips out to shove. Things speed up, Vinci ducks and dodges and runs Raaj over! Fans fire up and Vinci taunts Raaj. Raaj gets up but Vinci kicks him around. Vinci SLAPS Raaj, Raaj throws body shots, but Vinci shoves to back drop! Raaj gets up to DROPKICK, but Vinci stays up!? Vinci counter punches, CHOPS Raaj, then whips him to ropes. Raaj reverses but Vinci springboards to CROSSBODY! Vinci snarls as Raaj gets to a corner, and Vinci CHOPS him again! Vinci drags Raaj up to CHOP, and CHOP, and CHOP! Raaj’s chest is red like fine wine, and Vinci whips him corner to corner.

Vinci runs in, blocks Raaj’s boot and reels him in to LARIAT! Fans fire up and Vinci drags Raaj up to reel him in. LAST RIDE!! Cover, Vinci wins!

Winner: Giovanni Vinci, by pinfall

Fans cheer the style and strength that was on display as Vinci gets his first victory! Will he soon make NXT just as stylish and sophisticated as his life?

 

Backstage interview with Solo Sikoa.

McKenzie notes Solo did just as he said he would, and that was leave Grayson Waller and Carmelo Hayes down for the count. Solo likes calling his shots, but he’s not done yet. He wants that North American Championship. He may sound like a broken record, but that’s because Solo’s worked so hard to get here. He wants that gold on his waist, on his shoulder- But then Grayson walks in and says if he had a dollar for every time he’s heard Solo say all that, he’d have enough to send Solo home to the island. But Solo’s got next? No, he got a surprise partner from Raw whose coattails Solo rode to victory.

Hold on, now. Grayson was the one how rode a powerbomb into the ground. Yeah, Apollo’s powerbomb. Apollo carried Solo and Solo is trying to steal the glory! Spin it however you want, Waller, but next week, they’ll spin it for real and see what happens. Wait, what? Did Solo say it too fast? Waller VS Solo, 1v1, next week. Let’s get it! Waller is stunned, but he says fine, they can have a match. Will Waller show that he’s the Street Champion of Australia? Or will Waller be wishing he could fly back home?

 

Malik and Edris regroup backstage.

Edris tells Malik to not worry about it and mope around. Yes, they lost, but they win some and they lose some. For now, they can go to the club, have some fun, maybe talk up the ladies. But then Grimes walks over and he asks where they’re going. To the club. Oh, well, this was the biggest night of their careers, right? But what happened out there? Well, they had a championship match. Yeah, but say how it was. It was a loss. Well, they can get another opportunity. Oh, really? Will they? Haven’t they been working hard just for this opportunity? Grimes pretty sure they were. He knows they have. He knows they’ve been busting their asses, but for what?

They think things are just gonna keep coming? They think there’s just going to be more? No, guys. You are doing the thing you want to do at the place you want to do it. And you think it’s okay to leave before the show is over? That it’s just okay to leave before the main event? No, Grimes gets it. They gotta get to the club, right? But that’s the problem. You guys have all the athletic ability in the world, you look like freakin’ statues! You could be the biggest stars in this company, but you’re not hungry enough. Grimes wants Edris to not waste his talent. Grimes sure doesn’t waste his. Has Grimes just lit a fire under these two young studs with that tough love pep talk?

 

Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams VS Channing Lorenzo & Troy Donovan w/ Tony D’Angelo!

After all the trash The Don talked, the North American Champion and his best friend look to put The D’Angelo Family in their place. Will Melo & Trick stack Stacks & Dimes to send a message to Tony? Or will the newest soldiers of the family do The Don proud and take the A Champion for all he’s worth?

The teams sort out, Dimes starts with Trick and fans rally up. They tie up, Dimes wrenches to throw body shots, then he CLUBS the arm. Dimes wrenches and wrenches and wristlocks, but Trick drop toeholds to get a cradle! ONE, Dimes knees low and drags Trick over. Tag to Stacks, the Don’s family mugs Trick, and Stacks CLUBS Trick on the back. Stacks CHOPS, Trick CHOPS, and they throw hands! Stacks ROCKS Trick, headlocks and grinds, but Trick powers out and tags Melo. Trick drops and Melo dropkicks Stacks! Melo rains down fists, then shoots his three pointer. Melo smiles at Tony then brings Stacks up.

Melo runs, but Tony gets in Melo’s way as he goes to springboard! Stacks CLOBBERS Melo out of the ring! Fans boo but Dimes tags in so he can RAM Melo into steel steps! Dimes puts Melo in, pushes Melo to a cover, ONE! Melo pushes Dimes away, but Dimes drags Melo to the corner. Stacks tags in, Dimes puts Melo up top, and they put Melo in the Tree of Woe to stomp a mudhole into him! Tag to Dimes, he kicks and stomps more! Stacks tags in, Melo falls out of the Tree, and Stacks CLUBS Melo. Fans duel, Melo hits back and ROCKS Stacks, then CHOPS! Stacks knees low, taunts Melo, then whips, but Melo rolls off Stacks’ back to CLOBBER him!

Fans fire up and both men crawl, hot tag to Dimes! Dimes drops an elbow to keep Melo down, then covers, TWO! Dimes drags Melo up, brings him around, but Melo hits back. Dimes snapmares Melo and pushes him around to then dig a knee into Melo’s side! Dimes pulls on an arm and leg, but Melo fights with his free hand. Dimes drops knees on Melo, drags him back and tags Stacks. The family gets Melo up, Dimes hits a BACKBREAKER! Stacks mocks the three pointer, but Melo fights out to avoid the leg drop! Melo then POSTS Dimes, and hurries to tag in Trick! Fans fire up as Trick dodges Stack sand BOOTS Dimes!

Trick turns Stacks around and throws a hard body shot and a harder uppercut! Trick runs to FLYING LARIAT! Fans fire up with Trick and he ROLLING KICKS Dimes out of the ring! Then he FLAPJACKS Stacks! Trick kips up and fans fire up! But Tony has Wilde distract the ref and Cruz get on the apron. Cruz springboards but Trick dodges, the CROSSBODY hits Stacks! Tony is furious that they screwed up, and Trick clotheslines Cruz out! Tag to Melo and Melo goes up. Melo aims, THREE POINTER on Stacks! Cover, Melo & Trick win!

Winners: Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams, by pinfall

Escobar laughs and shrugs, saying it’s not his fault this didn’t go Tony’s way. Will things continue to go the other way when The Don tries to take Melo’s belt?

 

Tony D’Angelo chews out Legado.

What did he say about them working for him? He’s The Don. What he says, they do. Their job is to help Stacks & Two Dimes, and they failed! Cruz and Wilde can’t help but chuckle as they look over at Escobar, but Tony gets mad. Don’t look to him! Escobar is not their boss! Tony is! What Legado did in their time means nothing in this family! They’re at the bottom! Be better next time! And that is next week, when Tony beats Melo for the North American Championship! Will Escobar, Wilde & Cruz have no choice but to do as The Don demands when the gold is on the line?

 

Six Woman Tag: Toxic Attraction VS Indi Hartwell, Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade!

After In Your House, Mandy Rose is still NXT Women’s Champion, and Gigi & Jacy are still NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions. But as close as Wendy Choo and KC Squared came, will #IndiWrestling, the Gamer Girl and #GenerationJade be able to lay waste to the Toxic trio?

The champions fall, and now they know the Women’s Breakout Star has their number! Will Mandy, Gigi & Jacy have to look over their shoulders for some #PopRox?


My Thoughts:

A pretty good episode of NXT, but I’m noticing quite a lot of promos lately. Good to know Nikkita is on her way back, good to have some of Nathan Frazer’s real life story told to us, and a rather interesting move for Sophia Cromwell to say Von VS Brooks will be truly 1v1. There’s a good chance Von wins, but I hope Brooks gets a good showing, like Sam Gradwell did in NXT UK. Good promo from Lash to give us her credentials while hyping up her match with Alba Fyre. Honestly, the credentials promo should’ve been given to us much earlier than this, but better late than never.  But even knowing Lash’s athletic ability, I’m pretty sure Fyre wins.

Apollo’s cinematic promo was rather interesting. He’s no longer the Prince of Nigeria, but apparently he’s now The Equalizer? Not sure it makes sense, but whatever gets him screen time. Of course, it’d also be good to have him in matches so maybe that happens next week. Good backstage segment with Solo and Waller, and it seems Waller’s thing right now is sticking his foot in his mouth. I would think Solo wins their match next week so that he’ll be poised to face whoever wins between Tony and Carmelo. Speaking of, this was all clearly not live, Troy Donovan was recently released under undisclosed “policy violations,” so he should’ve been written off. That’ll surely happen when NXT returns to being live.

That said, very fun match between Melo & Trick VS Stacks & Dimes. Melo has momentum but Tony has motivation, so that North American Championship match could go either way. But maybe Escobar and Legado “help” Tony and Tony loses so that Melo VS Solo can happen for the Great American Bash. And that match could go either way, as fans love Solo and would go nuts for him winning a title. And speaking of titles, I knew Duke wasn’t going to win but damn, they kinda did him dirty with Bron basically squashing him. But Grimes coming out and challenging Bron was great stuff. Grimes is getting fired up with this new kind of “Mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore” attitude is great, I think fans will get behind him again with this.

Grimes was also right to get at Malik & Edris with that attitude, because they should be upset, too. Kayfabe is whatever, but I myself was disappointed in the tag match that opened the night. Not because it was a mess, but because it was 75-25 in favor of the Creeds. Two different hot tags but the rallies get stymied right away, and that feels like BS to me. The Creeds were going to retain but can’t Malik & Edris look like contenders and not dudes from Level Up? That aside, I did like the Creeds and Ivy turning things around on Strong. He gets himself stuck in a situation, and I would love it if Kemp was the one to win the match for them. Strong has to be booted from the group before the summer is over, that’s what this feels like.

Speaking of Level Up, good to see Dante Chen back from there, and Javier Bernal makes the jump over with him, all to lose to The Dyad, AKA Grizzled Young Veterans in red velvet hoods and robes. Of course The Dyad win, and of course they’ll win their way to a tag title match, but I feel like it’d be better if the reveal was sooner rather than later. Lee VS Xyon was pretty good, and Lee wins after showing his resilience and getting a great finish. Xyon VS Sanga is happening as I expected, but I like that Sanga is taking the title of handsome ass-kicking ladies man from Xyon. And this does make me realize they’ve dialed down the NXThirst and I am thankful for that.

Great “debut” for Giovanni Vinci, and he more or less still wrestles like Fabian Aichner, but with a bit more swagger now. I like that his entrance has those snapshots, almost makes me wonder why he wasn’t part of Max Dupri’s Maximum Male Models gimmick. Tiffany VS Fallon was a lot of fun, and I like that Wendy got to help screw Tiffany over. Tiffany VS Wendy is probably going to be set up for The Bash, and I feel like the winner of that will depend on who is champion by the end of that episode. We got a great Six Woman Tag main event, great teamwork from Indi, Roxie & Cora, and a great win, too. It’s not clear if Roxie will challenge Mandy or the tag champions, but either way, Great American Bash is where it happens, and I can only hope with all my might Roxie wins.

My Score: 8.2/10

Coverage

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

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

Published

on

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

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

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

 

Ratings:

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

Results:

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

Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck

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

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

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

Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors

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

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

Image

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Overall Score: 4/10

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

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

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

PLAY BY PLAY

Toni Storm is here!

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

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

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

 

Backstage interview with Paragon.

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

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

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

 

Ricochet VS Angelico w/ Serpentico!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

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

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

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

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

 

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

Don Callis himself dared Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd to find a friend so they could settle things with Roppongi Vice and the Family, but the Outrunners did better than that! They found TWO friends! Will the Most Wanted ROH World Champion and the Whole Fox’n Show help the Youngest Men Alive humble Callis’ cronies?

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!

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

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

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

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

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

 

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

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

The bell rings and the fans rally behind Bowens. Bowens and Lee tie up, Bowens wrenches and wristlocks, but Lee wrenches back.

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

 

The Gates of Agony are here!

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

The shirts come off, and here come the Redwood & Bad Apple! They go right to the ring and the brawl is on! The fans fire up as Bill has Kaun and Keith has Liona!

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

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

The bell rings and Dax circles with Garcia. Garcia is also wary of how Cash and #BigStoke are moving around ringside. The fans taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” so it isn’t just Ricochet anymore. Dax and Garcia tie up, go around, and Garcia puts Dax in the corner. The ref counts, Garcia lets off slowly, but he pats Dax on his bald head.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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


My Thoughts:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My Score: 8.8/10
