PLAY BY PLAY
Welcome the NEW North American Champion, Carmelo Hayes!
The TWO-TIME A Champion heads out with Trick Williams by his side. Melo opens his letterman’s jacket to reveal his belt is back around his waist after defeating and dethroning Cameron Grimes. Trick gets the mic first to say that at least, things are back to normal. Melo is North American Champion, Trick’s baby, Harpy is single, and the Warriors are about to beat the Celtics! C’mon, man, Melo’s from Boston. Is he? He is. Well sorry about that, but the point is everyone needs to make some noise for your two-time North American Champion! Fans boo but Melo treats it like cheering as he thanks them
And first thing’s first, Melo gives credit to Grimes bringing the best version of himself to give Melo one of the toughest matches of his life. But the goal was always getting back to this title, and now he is the goal! Melo doesn’t chase dreams, dreams chase him. He is what everyone else aspires to be! As he looks around at the crowd, seeing the scrubs in the building, they wish they could do what he does. Every time they shoot their shots, they miss! Melo is standing at the top of his accomplishments while you losers are reaching for their goals! Melo said that to say this: “I am the most illustrious NXT North American Champion in history! And let’s be real, y’all, I got right now.”
But speaking of this title, here comes Solo Sikoa! Fans chant for “SO~LO!” and Solo tells Melo, congrats on the win at In Your House. But no one wants to hear all that. Fans know it, Solo says this is 2.0, where it’s less talking and more fighting. But Solo will keep this short and sweet. He’s got next! Trick tells Solo to hold on. That was between Solo and the former champion. That agreement is no longer relevant, brother. And to keep it all real, Solo bet on the wrong one. Solo asks if they see any kind of fear in his eyes. The answer is hell now! Solo has Melo’s number! Melo knows it, Trick knows it, everyone else knows it!
But wait, here comes Grayson Waller! He wants everyone to hold on. Who the hell does Solo think he is? He ain’t famous enough to have Melo’s number. And even if Solo did, Melo would leave him on voicemail! And just so everyone knows, Waller doesn’t care about anyone’s blood type. Doesn’t matter who Solo’s daddy is, who his brothers are, or his cousins, nieces, nephews or aunties! Solo doesn’t get opportunities just because he wants one. Fans want Waller to “Shut the Hell Up!” but Waller says those putting up a finger, that’s just the number of friends you have! And newsflash: mom doesn’t count! No one here has friends, and neither does Solo.
Waller says no one is friends with Solo, that’s why that’s his name. Solo gives Waller a newsflash: “Shut the Hell up!” Fans fire up and Solo tells Waller that he fights alone in the ring, but not tonight, because he has the fans. Fans cheer for that, too! Solo sees Waller wants, and if he wants to fight, then let’s go! Solo DECKS Trick, DECKS Melo, brawls with Waller, but he ends up in a 3v1! Fans boo as Waller and the others all stomp Solo, then Waller gets Solo up for a DDT! Refs rush out and they get Waller, Melo and Trick to leave. Will the Street Champion fight his way up until he gets the North American Champion 1v1?
The Don arrives to the arena.
And because he, Stacks and Two Dimes won, Legado has to be their assistants. Cruz drives, Santos opens the door for Tony, and Joaquin gets the bags. Tony asks if Santos took care of that thing for him, and Santos says the guy promised to have the papers by Friday. Not bad. But what about the other thing? Joaquin says the city hall meeting is this Thursday. But why does Tony want a redistricting- Now, now, you have a lot to learn, kid. But Tony is thinking it is time to get some ring gear on. Santos has a match tonight. Go get ready! Santos is fuming, but he keeps the others from speaking up. They must be men of their word, but will Tony push Legado a little too far?
Von Wagner w/ Robert Stone & Sophia Cromwell VS Josh Briggs w/ Brooks Jensen & Fallon Henley!
Vicious Von has wrecked everyone who has stood in his way, or just simply glanced at Sophia Cromwell. He broke Brooks’ hand over a look, but will Briggs break Von in vengeance? Or will even the bar brawler footballer have to admit this is Wagner’s World and he’s just living in it?
The hands start flying before the bell! The ref backs them off just long enough for the bell, and then the hands start flying again! Briggs gets the edge, backs Von to a corner and fire off more shots. Von shoves but Briggs shoves back to fire more hands! Von bumps Briggs off buckles, gives back hands and even knees and shoulders! The ref counts, Von lets off at 4 but Briggs hits back. Von knees and ROCKS Briggs to another corner, then whips. Briggs reverses to ROCK Von, then whip and CLOBBER him! Fans fire up and Briggs slides out to ROCK Von off the ropes! Stone talks trash but Briggs gets in, only for Von to BOOT Briggs down!
Von bumps Briggs off buckles, fires off more hands, then lets off at 4. Von reels Briggs into a knee, then pulls hair to shout, “My World!” Von BOOTS Briggs again but fans boo. Stone taunts Briggs, Von pushes Briggs around, but Briggs throws body shots and hands! Briggs whips Von to a corner but Von dodges to OLYMPIC SLAM! Cover, TWO! Von snarls but he rains down fists on Briggs. Fans rally behind Briggs but Von gets the arm! Briggs fights back, throws body shots, but Von throws knees. Briggs fires off hands and he DECKS Von! Then BOOTS him back! Fans fire up again as Briggs whips, but Von holds ropes.
Briggs rushes in but Von kicks his leg! Von sends Briggs out, goes out after him, and RAMS Briggs into the apron. Von then gets Brooks’ bad hand and SLAMS it on the apron! Fallon is pissed, but that’s just a distraction so Brooks can take of the cast?! Brooks slides it into the ring for Briggs, and we’re going Cowboy Bob Orton !CAST SMACK! And then LARIAT!! Cover, Briggs wins!!
Winner: Josh Briggs, by pinfall
Stone is furious but his side got suckered in! Briggs avenges Brooks with help from Brooks, will they be turning Wagner’s World upside-down?
Backstage interview with Solo Sikoa.
McKenzie asks how he is doing after that mugging just moments ago. Solo says in the streets, you scrap. Sometimes you get it, sometimes you don’t. But it ain’t one of those where you catch them down the road next week or next month. Solo wants BOTH Waller and Melo tonight! So is that a Handicap Match? Hell, if someone wants to join in, they’re Solo’s guest. He doesn’t ask for help, but one way or another, he leaves those bitches the way they left him. Will someone join the Street Champion against Waller and the A Champion?
Andre Chase welcomes Thea Hail to Chase U.
On behalf of the university, he presents a 2022-2023 scholarship to NXT’s newest signee! She thanks them all and is so excited to be here to perfect her craft. They take a class picture, but then Pretty Deadly walk in laughing at them all. Asking teacher for a picture is so embarrassing. They’re embarrassing. Bodhi says that’s true. This picture needs something more. It needs star power! More fashion sense! It needs Pretty Deadly! So they can grab their tag titles- Oh wait! Pretty Deadly lost them! Oh haha, just watch yourselves. Pretty Deadly leave, and Chase says they’ll take the pic now. Chase U on three! Will Pretty Deadly end up on the receiving end of a #TeachableMoment soon enough?
Santos Escobar w/ The D’Angelo Familia VS Nathan Frazer!
The Don is making the Emperor of Lucha earn his keep by having a match he is not prepared for! And it’s against the British Prodigy who took Cameron Grimes to his limits! Will Escobar be able to survive this last second showdown? Or will Frazer take flight at Escobar’s expense?
NXT returns and Tony’s crew sees Legado out for this match. But then Tony tells Cruz & Wilde to go to the back, his guys will handle this. Tony even joins commentary while Escobar circles with Frazer. They tie up, Escobar waistlocks but Frazer gets ropes. The ref counts, Escobar lets off, and he resets with Frazer.

Not so boring anymore, huh, Tony? Frazer keeps things moving, he ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA Escobar to a corner! Fans fire up and Escobar is fuming, glaring at Tony for putting him in this situation. Frazer runs in, Escobar sends him out, and he points at Tony. But then he turns around into Frazer’s missile dropkick! Escobar bails out. Frazer builds speed, but stops when Escobar moves. Tony asks what is going on here! Get in the ring!
Escobar gets in, he scoops Frazer but Frazer slips out to waistlock and O’Conner Roll! TWO, but Frazer rushes in! Escobar puts him out to ENZIGURI him off the apron! Fans fire up and Escobar seethes. Escobar DIVES! Down goes Frazer as the Arrow from Hell hits its mark! Fans are fired up for “LEGADO! LEGADO!” Tony tells Escobar to not do the dive, no one likes that. Fans disagree but NXT goes picture in picture as Escobar argues with his new boss.
Escobar gets in the ring but still glares at Tony. Escobar stomps Frazer, then drops an elbow on Frazer’s back. And another! Escobar drags Frazer up but Frazer throws body shots.

Winner: Nathan Frazer, by pinfall
Tony says, “Nice job, moron!” Tony can’t believe Escobar didn’t want to cheat the D’Angelo way. But will this partnership only bring them all down? Or will Escobar bend to do as he’s told?
Backstage interview with Xyon Quinn.
McKenzie asks him about his return last week. But Quinn just says Frazer is another guy carrying a rabbit’s foot wherever he goes. Frazer, Wes Lee, they’re all the same. For seven days straight, Quinn had to watch and listen to Wes Lee’s name be mentioned everywhere. “Wes Lee’s so brave! Wes Lee’s amazing! Did you see Wes Lee’s awesome victory?” Quinn says of that five minute match, Quinn dominated for four minutes and 55 seconds! Those last few seconds were like pulling a rabbit out of a hat, and that’s supposed to be a victory? Not where Quinn’s from. That’s just luck. So when Quinn gets his rematch, it won’t be the same for Cinderella Man.
But hopefully Sanga is there to pick up the pieces, because when Quinn’s down with Wes, he won’t even be conscious. Will Quinn #RunItStraight and break the tie? Or will he end up getting further upset by the Must-See Kid?
Bron Breakker is here!
And he is still NXT Champion after refusing to let Joe Gacy goad him into crossing the line! Fans bark it up as Bron gets the mic. Bron says, “NXT In Your House was a battle. Joe Gacy challenged me mentally, challenged me physically. Hell, he even went after my father, my family, he made things personal! But no matter what Joe Gacy did, he was not taking this NXT Championship away from me!” Bron says that match wasn’t just about him, it was about NXT! This place is special! NXT is special! Fans cheer for that, and Bron says after going through the curtain, he saw the look on everyone’s faces. Everyone wants after the title.
“So the question is… Who’s gonna step up to the challenge?” Bron waits and who do we get? “APOLLO~!” Fans fire up for the return of the most athletic man to cross through NXT, and he is fired up to be back! Apollo gets in the ring with Bron and gets a mic as fans chant, “WELCOME BACK!” Apollo says he wants us to believe him when he says this is the type of energy he has missed! Apollo then tells Bron he wasn’t here on Saturday but he’s here now, for as long as he wants to be. And congratulations on the win. Fans chant “We Missed You!” and Apollo says he missed them, too. But he has to say, he has seen the meteoric rise, and Bron is one of the best not just in NXT but all of WWE!
Apollo says this place IS special, he loves NXT! When he left NXT, it was way too soon, with a lot of things he wanted to do on the table. But he is back to correct history! He is back to change history! Apollo Crews is back to make history! And Bron, Apollo saw that one day, they would make that history together. Until then, see you down the road. Fans cheer as the two shake hands. Will Apollo make sure he gets to the NXT Championship sooner rather than later? Or will he check off some other things first?
Joe Gacy speaks.
“Recognizing you can’t get through this life all alone is not a weakness, but a strength. There are people in this world that need guidance. You two were prime examples. You realized you were not fulfilled, so you cleared your minds and opened your hearts to me.” They’ve made great strides, and there are people that don’t understand they are shaping the world by maximizing their exposure on the platform they have each and every week. Their message is far more important than any possession or symbol. But now, they can focus on their progression.
“Forget what you’ve been called. You are the Dyad, and you will continue to be an extension of me, starting next week when you compete in the ring for the very first time.” Just who are the two under the hoods? And will they be able to fulfill Gacy’s mission of transforming NXT into his image?
NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament Finals: Roxanne Perez VS Tiffany Stratton!
In one corner, the Gamer Girl scratched and clawed her way just to get into NXT, and then to get to this moment here tonight.

But she swaggers into a SHOTGUN! Roxie eggs Tiffany on then drop toeholds! Roxie stomps Tiffany’s fingers!
Roxie does the curtsy, then wrenches an arm to a wristlock. Tiffany endures, reaches for ropes but Roxie keeps her away with a hammerlock. They go around, Tiffany reaches out again but Roxie wrenches through to wristlock. Tiffany rolls, handsprings, wrenches and wristlocks back. Roxie endures, fans rally, Roxie rolls and goes after the arm but Tiffany wrangles her down. Tiffany digs her knee into Roxie’s head, twists the wrist and bends the fingers!

And Cora Jade is right out here to celebrate with her! Roxie rocks Tiffany and gets her name on that contract! Cora presents Roxie with the contract, but then Toxic Attraction makes their way out. Mandy Rose, still NXT Women’s Champion, “congratulates” Roxanne. “All the sacrifices, the hardships, those long bus rides, it all paid off. Honestly, you should be really proud of yourself. And to top it off, you have your best friend standing beside you to soak it all in. Wow… That’s amazing.” Mandy means it. But she wants Roxie to enjoy this moment. “Because unfortunately, it’s all downhill from here.”
If Roxie thinks she can cash in on Mandy, no no no, honey. She has a better chance of going to Raw or SmackDown, or even just leaving that contract in her closet. If Roxie challenges Mandy, she will fail. Just ask Cora. She had not just one, but two chances, and failed both times. So Mandy’s title isn’t going anywhere any time soon. And as for Cora, if she thinks her stupid skateboarding ass- Roxie DECKS Mandy! And then she and Cora brawl with Gigi & Jacy! Fans fire up, Mandy manages to get up, and she goes after Roxie! The 3v2 of course goes Toxic Attraction’s way, but then here comes INDI! Indi DECKS Jacy, shoves Gigi and DECKS her, too!
Mandy turns Indi around but gets ROCKED! Then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS from Roxie & Cora! Mandy gets on the apron, Indi BOOTS her off! Mandy falls right onto Gigi & Jacy, Toxic Attraction are down for the count! Will Roxie make sure she breaks out and takes gold from Toxic Attraction?

Referees and Andre Chase find him clutching his ribs. It was Pretty Deadly! Bodhi wants to still go with Chase to the ring, but Chase says the medics have to take care of him. Chase is furious, but he’s going to the ring to whoop those SOB’s! Will Professor Chase be able to handle both “tasty dishes” on his own? Or will they give him more of the same once the bell rings?
Backstage interview with Wendy Choo.
Sadly, things didn’t go her way at In Your House, but- Wait, Tiffany barges in, whining about losing to Roxie and claiming she cheated. Wendy says, “Excuse me.” But Tiffany says, “You’re excused,” and keeps on whining. Wendy speaks up again and Tiffany asks what? This is her time! Tiffany wants a rematch! Wendy SPLASHES Tiffany! Tiffany freaks out over her hair now, but will she be having an even worse meltdown if she loses to Wendy?
Handicap Match: Pretty Deadly VS Andre Chase!
Kit Wilson & Elton Prince warned Chase U, and then made good on the threat taking out the star pupil. But will they take out the headmaster next? Or will they learn a lesson in humility after already having lost their titles?

Bodhi says, “But Chase needs us!” and a lightbulb goes off in Thea’s head! SHE gets on the apron!?
Thea wants this to be a co-ed tag match?! That’s not a thing in NXT, is it? Fans want it to be but Pretty Deadly tells the new girl to calm down. She SLAPS Prince instead! Chase rallies on Pretty Deadly, atomic drop and a whip, but Wilson reverses. Chase reverses back to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Chase stomps and fans spell “CHASE U!” for him! Chase fireman’s carries but Wilson slips off to waistlock. Chase switches but Prince tags in before the O’Conner Roll! Wilson kicks Chase into Prince’s BOOT! Then Prince gets in, SPILT MILK!! Cover, Pretty Deadly wins!
Winners: Pretty Deadly, by pinfall
Thea tried but the rules wouldn’t let her help Chase. Pretty Deadly gets back up, but will they get back to the NXT Tag Team Championships?
Melo & Trick walk the halls, but spot something.
Trick says these three must be waiting on them. It’s Tony D and his boys! Tony says, “What up, champ?” Congrats, but as you know, you’re not the only one with a victory from In Your House. So if Melo wants his reign to last longer than the first, falling in lone behind The Don might not be a bad idea. Trick says Tony may be the Don, but this is the Sun! Everything revolves around Melo. To put it like this, Melo is good on mentioning his title, but no thanks. Well then stay out of Tony’s way, son. Because if you don’t, this ends in the blink of an eye. But uh, good luck in the main event. Melo wants Tony to put some respect on the name. Will Melo show The Don just who is in charge around here?
Alba Fyre VS Tatum Paxley!
The Scary Queen of Scots has risen from the ashes like a phoenix, and she wants to blaze a trail to the top! The powerlifter stepped up where the baller didn’t, will Tatum be able to put out the Fyre? Or will she just be more wood for the flame to stay alive?
NXT returns and Tatum makes her entrance. The bell rings and the two tie up. They go around, Fyre waistlocks but Tatum wrenches out to a hammerlock. Fyre switches that onto Tatum but Tatum hits a fireman’s carry takeover. Tatum has the armlock, Fyre fights up but Tatum wrangles her for a La Magistrol! TWO, Tatum is ready and she waistlocks. Fyre pries free, gets around and SLAMS Tatum! Ghost pin, TWO! Tatum gets back up and resets with Fyre. They tie up, Fyre gets a leg and flips Tatum! Tatum handsprings through to tackle Fyre to a cover, TWO! Tatum picks Fyre up but Fyre sunset flips, only for Tatum to sit down! TWO!
Fyre and Tatum hurry back up, Fyre has the leg again and flips Tatum again, to KNEE her as she shoots in! Cover, TWO! Fans rally and duel, Fyre stalks Tatum to a corner. Fyre brings Tatum out, ROCKS her with a right, then whips her to a corner. Tatum reverses, Fyre reverses and Tatum hits buckles hard! Fyre CHOPS Tatum, brings her around, and GOURD BUSTERS! Cover, TWO! Fyre stalks Tatum to ropes, fans rally more and Fyre hooks Tatum up in the Gory Especial! GORY BOMB! But Fyre isn’t done, she rises up to the top rope. Tatum rolls away, but Fyre just shrugs. BIG SWANTON BOMB! Cover, Fyre wins!
Winner: Alba Fyre, by pinfall
Fyre still hits the target, she still gets the win! But she shows Tatum respect for stepping up to her. Will this nod of approval mean Tatum is on her way to the top? But then Lash BOOTS Fyre at the stage! Lash talks trash but fans say SHE is trash! Lash is brave when Fyre isn’t ready, but will Fyre make Lash regret ever stepping to her like that?
The Diamond Mine is in the dojo.
And they’re admiring the NXT Tag Team Championships the Creeds just won on Saturday. But Roderick Strong walks in and says he may have given them a hard time, and things were said. They’re all alphas here, especially #BigIve. But on Saturday, the biggest challenge of the Creeds’ careers, and they not only rose to the occasion, they dominated! That was amazing. Strong wants to congratulate them on being the NEW NXT Tag Team Champions! Bring it in! Diamond Mine Forever! Water under the bridge! They hug it out, but then Malik Blade & Edris Enofe walk in? Edris says great win and Malik says that Brutus Ball from the top was amazing!
Julius, that was picture perfect on the Shooting Star, too. And not to ruin the moment, but uh, maybe Malik & Edris can get a shot? Well, Saturday was a big day. They had to be dialed in and perform in front of friends and family. And even with all that, they still heard these two talking that talk. But they appreciate it! Yeah, man! Nice. So if Malik & Edris want their shot next week, the Creeds would be honored. The deal is in, but Strong isn’t so sure. What are they doing? What? Diamond Mine doesn’t back down. Yeah but this isn’t Christmas! You don’t just hand out a title shot! You make those guys earn things!
Oh but that’s right, they’re new to being champions. But Strong’s been champion countless times! Now that he thinks about it, they did make some mistakes that almost cost them. They’re lucky to be champs! Strong was going to give them one mistake as champions, and they just made it. So much for everyone getting along… Will Strong’s ego be what costs his boys their belts? Or will it just cost him his spot in the group?
NXT receives another message in Italian.
“In this world, luck favors the bold. And his luck never runs out. His fortune is measured not just by his back account, but by his wealth of style, and the flare for the performance. His ability to step out on his own from a dominant circle shows he fears nothing and regrets less. Destined to uncork success at every turn, the time has come to show the world who he is. Prepare for his arrival as NXT will never be the same.” Fabian Aichner IS Giovanni Vinci! And he’s back on NXT next week!
Grayson Waller & Carmelo Hayes w/ Trick Williams VS Solo Sikoa & ???
The 21st Century Success Story and the two-time North American Champion both think the Street Champion of the Island needs to wait in line, not just get things because he’s Bloodline. And while Solo is more than willing to take these two on all alone, he did leave an open invitation to anyone who dislikes Melo and Waller as much as he does. Will someone accept and join Solo’s side? Or will Sikoa really be solo in this fight?
Solo makes his entrance, and he has a mic. “Listen. As bad as I want to kick you two asses right now, I brought somebody with me that can feel the same way.” It’s… APOLLO! Seems Apollo wasn’t going to just settle for reintroducing himself! Will he make a huge impact in this sudden return match?

The homecoming is victorious! Apollo takes down the 21st Century Success Story, and he helps Solo get even with Melo! Will Solo prove he does have the next shot at the North American Championship? Will Apollo end up going for gold on his own?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for NXT, especially to follow In Your House. For one, great to see them follow on the story of The Don taking over Legado right away, and not in any way that’s too stupid or degrading for Legado. Pretty sure they got some rather interesting political social commentary with that redistricting line, but I don’t know Florida politics. Either way, it was a great move for Tony to force Escobar to have an “impromptu” match with Frazer. Escobar VS Frazer was a great match, Tony criticizing Escobar’s wrestling style was a great detail, and of course Frazer wins because Tony and his guys kept distracting him. This will all lead to Legado losing their cool and uprising against Tony D.
I really liked what they gave us in the tag division tonight. For one, Strong can’t help but create tension between him and the rest of Diamond Mine. He disapproved the Creeds giving Malik & Edris a shot, and he might try to get involved in the match again like he did with Viking Raiders and Pretty Deadly. The Creeds will retain and this thing with Strong will come to a head in time for Great American Bash 2022. Pretty Deadly had a good interaction with Chase U, and of course they’d attack Bodhi to give themselves an advantage. I really liked the bit where Thea wanted to tag in even though it wasn’t co-ed, and there has to be a moment where Thea proves herself in a big match.
Good match from Tatum against Fyre but of course Fyre wins. Fyre hitting that Swanton from corner to center was great stuff. And of course Lash attacks Fyre in a classic Heel move. Fyre VS Lash will be another good match, and I suppose Lash could win with cheating, but Fyre should win to build more momentum towards the title. Roxie VS Tiffany was a great match for the Breakout Tournament finals, and I wish this was the main event just on principle of the historic match being the most important. Roxie wins because duh, all the champions are Heels. And naturally, the champions showed up to talk down to Roxie.
We got a great brawl, and Indi showing up could mean Roxie uses her contract to get her and Cora a tag title match, and Indi gets a fair match with Mandy for the top title. I kinda hope this is where Toxic Attraction loses, so that Indi can join Io Shirai and Raquel Gonzalez in having the top title and the tag titles in their careers. The only thing Indi doesn’t have that those two do have is a Dusty Cup trophy. Also, an interesting move that Wendy and Tiffany are having another feud after both of them lost the big prizes. Maybe Wendy wins this time since she has the fans behind her much stronger this time.
Bron Breakker had a decent enough promo giving some credit to Gacy, but the big moment was Apollo’s return to NXT, and not having the Nigerian Prince gimmick or even accent. Vince and team really let the ball drop on that one. They moved Apollo & Azeez to Raw but then kinda forgot about them the last few months. Apollo will surely make his way to the top title, but it was great for him to join Solo against Waller and Melo. Great set-up to this with the segment where Melo said Grimes’ promise is null and void, and then we got a great tag team match. Solo and Apollo win, they’ve got momentum towards titles, but it’d be quite the twist if Apollo got in on the North American title match. Apollo VS Melo 1v1 would be awesome stuff, too, but I would think Solo is meant to dethrone Melo.
My Score: 8.7/10

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!

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.
.@Santana_Proud and @_trickwilliams just crossed paths—then @AJFrancis410 & @KCwrestles tried recruiting @TheSamiCallihan… and sparked beef with Santana in the process.
Wait… IS THAT @JohnGoblikon!?

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.
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.
Tessa Blanchard is GOING OFF on @AriannaGraceWWE! @milanmiracle @MrStoneWWE

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.

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?

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?

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!

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!
