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-Â 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.

Escobar floats around on Frazer, has the legs and half nelson but Frazer moves around.
Frazer fights up, Escobar waistlocks, Tony says this is getting boring, they should do something else. Frazer switches, shoves, things speed up, Frazer redirects and goes up and over with a flip! 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. Escobar CLUBS, whips and scoops Frazer for a BACKBREAKER! Cover, ONE!! Frazer is showing that toughness, but Escobar gets his legs to turn him over.

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?
Bodhi Hayward’s been attacked!
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?

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

Okada is on Briscoe with another DDT! Cover, TWO! Briscoe toughs it out and Okada is annoyed. Okada stalks Briscoe to a corner, but Briscoe kicks low!

The fans fire up as Okada stays in this! Briscoe clutches his neck but he brings Okada back up. Okada fights the clinch, the fans duel, and Okada puts Briscoe on ropes.

Briscoe runs in at the corner, but Okada pops him up to the Alabama Lift! REVERSE NECKBREAKER! The fans fire up again and Okada scoops to SLAM! Standard formula, Okada goes up the corner!

The fans boo as Okada aims with the belt! BELT SHOTÂ to the ribs!! And then BELT SHOT to the head!! Callis & Okada stomp away on Briscoe, then they leave him behind. Another message sent to not just Kenny Omega but to anyone who would dare defy them. Will Okada go from Continental Champion to Unified Champion after going All In?
MJF w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Mistico!

The fans fire up as Hobbs shouts, “MEAT!” The fans fire up and Hobbs fires those point-blank LARIATS! Hobbs goes past DIEZ to hit TRECE! That’s 13!
Hobbs then brings Yuta out to short arm LARIAT! The fans fire up as the straps come down! But The Bucks kick low! The Bucks DOUBLE CHOP, but that just pisses Hobbs off! The Bucks apologize but the fans tell them they messed up. Hobbs blocks a superkick, then the other! The Bucks want mercy, but Hobbs goes to guzels! But Yuta jumps on for a SLEEPER!

The Problem is always a factor, but this isn’t done as Yuta & The Bucks beat up on Joe! Then the Bucks SUPERKICK Swerve! Moxley has a SLEEPER on Swerve, then feeds him to the SUPERKICKS! Moxley puts the SLEEPER back on, but HERE COMES HANGMAN!! The Cowboy told us about the ringside ban, but also mentioned that once the match was over, it was fair game! Hangman storms out here, unintentionally saving Swerve, and he glares at Moxley. The fans fire up as Hangman throws off his jacket and rushes the ring! Moxley stands his ground, the two get face to face, and now go fist for fist! Yuta gets in but Hangman DECKS him!
Moxley kicks low! Moxley whips but Hangman goes to the apron! Moxley waits, Hangman slingshots, but then Moxley dodges! BUCKSHOT on Matt! Well, it did hit a Buck, and Nick asks wtf! Hangman says he told them, they stay out of his business or else! But now Moxley has the briefcase! Only for Hangman to spot him first. Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?
My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10
