Backstage interview with Cora Jade.
McKenzie asks for an update on Roxanne Perez, but Cora doesn’t have one. She wishes she did, but she can’t believe it. She knew they should’ve been more careful and she should’ve come with Roxie to the arena. Cora didn’t see anything, but she just knows it has Toxic Attraction written all over it. Toxic Attraction is pissed for losing, and scared that their reign over NXT is coming to an end. Mandy Rose is most scared of all because she knows Roxie would take that title right off her. It all just makes sense! Cora calms down, and hopes Roxie can pull through to compete tonight. If not, those bitches will have hell to pay!
Tiffany Stratton went to get pampered.
And O M G, she so needed this after the atrocity against Wendy Choo last week. Tiffany had to crawl on that dirty, disgusting warehouse floor to escape. She hasn’t even been able to look at her nails. And don’t get her started on her gear or hair. But in the end, she prevails and shut up Choo. Wendy is so obsessed. It’s so creepy. But Tiffany is going to leave Candy Land behind cuz obvi, she wants to see who wins tonight’s main event. But uh, this wasn’t the best manicure. Tiffany will spare this place the bad review, but will Tiffany be able to leave Wendy behind to go onto the gold?
Cameron Grimes is here!
But there is no smile or high energy for the Carolina Caveman after his loss to Bron Breakker in last week’s Great American Bash main event. Grimes gets the mic while fans chant “To The Moon! To The Moon!” Grimes wishes he could come out here and give all of us an excuse as to why he didn’t win the NXT Championship. But he can’t. Fans say “You Got Robbed!” but Grimes says no, he showed up in the best shape of his life and with a game plan. He even hit the Cave-In on Bron. But then the “Three!” never came. Bron is home in a sling, but he has the title. Grimes admits he almost said “North American Championship,” but that’s because losing that title is still on his mind, too.
Grimes has learned something, though. You can do everything the right way and it just still won’t be good enough. But that’s life, right? Last month, he lost the North American Championship. That’s just life. Grimes goes all in on the top title, and yeah, he lost. That’s just life! Grimes is just destined to be a loser! Cameron Grimes thought he was going #ToTheMoon, but then he crashes into the sun. Wait, Jordan Devlin McDonagh is heading out here now? The Irish Ace say she hates to kick a man when he’s down, but he’s going to do just that! Listen, “Grimy,” JD saw that match, and it was impressive. No one can take that way from Grimes.
But JD thinks that for all of us here, just wrap up the pity party and cry about it in the back. Fans boo but JD says that in about sixty seconds after losing, Grimes became old news. The whole game changed when the Irish Ace walked in. And all these people here, he fooled them all! They all thought he was debuting this week. And y’know who else thought that? That meathead, Bron Breakker! Grimes says if JD is going to be talking in the ring, then he should look Grimes in the eye. We all know who he is and what he did, so maybe JD should go after Grimes. Grimes knows about this Ace, but he’s more like an Irish ASS!
Fans join in calling JD an A-Hole, so JD HEAEDBUTTS Grimes! And then he whips Grimes, only for Grimes to reverses! JD avoids the Cave-In and Grimes fires up! Grimes says he’s got plenty of fight to give, so JD better get in this ring to get it! Fans fire up with Grimes, but will JD choose to wait until Grimes’ fire flames out?
Diamond Mind watches game film.
The Creed Brothers and Damon Kemp are watching just what happened when Julius hit that sliding forearm on Kemp. Kemp appreciates there’s no hard feelings and that they’re helping him study. Iron sharpens iron, diamonds cut diamonds. Diamond Mine Forever. They’re all more than happy to run it back. The Creeds head out, but then Roderick Strong walks in. Did Kemp really just say he’d love to “run it back” with the Creeds? Yeah, cuz- Are you serious?! Kemp is the reason they lost! Strong spent all this time Kemp training him, helping him improve, and Strong realized Kemp isn’t as good as he thinks.
What was going on? Ask the Creeds and Ivy, Strong is not big on excuses. Kemp was happy when Strong made the challenge, but we’ll see how Kemp feels after Strong embarrasses him next week! They’re going 1v1! Strong storms out and Kemp can’t believe he’s in this position. Is Diamond Mine still crumbling from within?
Backstage interview with Grayson Waller.
McKenzie is interrupted because Waller gets it, we’re going to talk about the Great American Bash. If that match was about points, Waller would’ve won and he would’ve won big! It was like 391 AD, wasn’t even close! Wait, what? Nevermind! Waller is supposed to say things didn’t go his way, and he points out that Wes Lee is why! Melo was set up, but then Nicky Nomad ruined Waller’s moment! Wes’ life sucks, but that doesn’t mean he has to ruin Waller’s! Let Wes know Waller’s looking for him. Now, back to the idiots on commentary.
Medics are still checking Roxanne Perez.
Cora is there with her, very worried about her status. Is the title match off for tonight?
Kayden Carter w/ Katana Chance VS Tatum Paxley!
KC Squared’s spitfire got into another argument with the powerlifter, but Diamond Mind’s Pitbull stepped up to back Tatum up. Will Tatum prove she is Diamond Mine material? Or will Kayden get the party going again?
NXT returns and Tatum makes her entrance. The bell rings, the two tie up, and they break. Kayden pie faces Tatum, but Tatum rushes in. Kayden trips her, Tatum kicks her away, then dodges her to wrangle for an armlock! Kayden fights up, rolls, but Tatum gator rolls her! Cover, ONE, but Tatum clamps onto the arm again. Kayden fights up, she whips but Tatum reverses. Things speed up but Kayden rolls Tatum to kick her! Kayden runs to springboard and basement dropkick! Cover, TWO! Kayden gets Tatum ‘s arms and stomps Tatum down! Kayden then runs to WRECK Tatum with a dropkick, right out of the ring!
Kayden shakes her hips but here comes Ivy Nile! Ivy backs Tatum up again and coaches her. Tatum gets back in, RAMS into Kayden, then throws body shots! Kayden BOOTS Tatum, CLUBS her, then whips her to a corner. Kayden runs in but Tatum dodges and DROPKICKS! Good height, and Tatum turns Kayden around to a NECKBREAKER! Katana coaches Kayden but Tatum MARIPOSAS! Cover, TWO! Kayden flounders to a corner, Tatum runs in and jumps up to HEADBUTT over and over! Seems Tatum can head bang with the best of them! Tatum kicks but Kayden blocks to flip her! Tatum handsprings through but Kayden trips her up!
Kayden ties up the legs, TRAILER HITCH! Tatum endures, Ivy coaches her, but Kayden pushes on the leglock! Tatum reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Kayden lets Tatum go at 4, and Ivy coaches Tatum up. Kayden storms over, gets the legs and yanks Tatum, but Tatum uses that for a cradle! TATUM WINS!
Winner: Tatum Paxley, by pinfall
Snatching victory from the jaws of defeat, Tatum gets the last word on this one! Has she earned her way into the Diamond Mine?
Joe Gacy interrupts commentary.
He “humbly” apologizes for this interruption, but his message is too important to fall on deaf ears. There has been a breakthrough amongst the schism! The Dyad have found a point of comfort in revealing their true selves! Next week will be a purification, and hopefully others will see and understand that there is room in the shade under The Schism’s tree. Thank you for the indulgence. Just what does Gacy mean about “purification?” And at the very least, does this mean we’ll see who is under the hoods?
Sanga, Yulisa Leon & Valentina Feroz rewatch last week’s footage.
But not of any match. It’s of Sanga’s powerful CANNONBALL into the pool! The ladies love it when Sanga lets loose, but Duke Hudson barges in. Laugh it up, Sanga. He thinks that was funny? It wasn’t funny. Duke had to get water out of his ear all week! The ladies laugh but Duke is upset more. Sanga tells Duke that if he wants to take care of business, they can do that in the ring. That’s what Duke wants! Then that match is happening, after the break!
Fallon Henley’s bar is booming!
Everyone loves it here. And for the NEW NXT UK Tag Team Champions, life has been pretty sweet. Josh Briggs, Brooks Jensen and Fallon herself cheer, but then in walk Pretty Deadly. “Howdy, partners!” Elton Prince & Kit Wilson are sure no one here has seen two tasty snacks like them before. Brooks says these boys are in the wrong bar. Uh, no, they are not. They’re here for the champs. To think these two would bring those gorgeous UK titles into such a dump! And these hicks might be impressed, but Pretty Deadly aren’t. Well, sounds like they came in for more than just a drink. Yeah, they came for the titles!
Well, that’s good and all, but you’re in here so you’ll have to fight your way back out. It’s been a hot minute since Briggs & Jensen have been in a bar fight! Let’s go! Pretty Deadly isn’t so sure, but the rest of the patrons get between them all. Fallon gets a pool cue and says this is NOT happening here. IF they’re settling this, it’ll be in the ring. See y’all next week. Pretty Deadly leaves peacefully, and the champs get everyone another round! Will Kit & Elton be able to become TWO-TIME UK Tag Team Champions? Or will Briggs & Jensen have another reason to celebrate?
Sanga VS Duke Hudson!
Sanga is a big, big man, and he has a big, big cannonball. Will he send Duke sputtering away like he did in the pool? Or will the fun and games be over real quick?
The bell rings and Duke shoves Sanga. Sanga stops smiling and he shoves Duke down! Sanga storms up on Duke but Duke kicks form below. Duke gets up to throw haymakers and body shots, then he RAMS Sanga into the corner. Duke RAMS his shoulder in more, lets off as the ref counts, but Sanga puts Duke in the corner! Duke dodges, RAMS into Sanga again and fires off forearms! The ref reprimands, Duke whips but Sanga blocks! Sanga shakes his head and whips Duke into the corner to SPLASH! Sanga scoops Duke for a SNAKE EYES! And a POUNCE! Duke flounders and fans fire up with Sanga!
Duke flops out of the ring, Sanga wants him to get back in, but Duke wants space. Sanga grabs at Duke but Duke grabs the beard! Duke throws body shots, then a HCOP BLOCK! And a DDT! Cover, ONE!! Duke is shocked! Duke hurries to CLUB away on Sanga, but Sanga catches the arm! Sanga wrenches, fights up, but Duke RIPS at the chest hair! And Sanga’s got a lot of it! Duke fishhooks then ELBOWS Sanga in the head! Duke RAMS into Sanga, throws more body shots, then clinches. Sanga throws body shots, whips Duke to a corner then runs in to SPLASH again! Sanga scoops for a SIDEWALK SLAM! Sanga roars, fans fire up, and Sanga drops a BIG elbow!
Sanga isn’t done there! Duke stands and Sanga scoops, fireman’s carries, but Duke slips off. Duke elbows from the corner, runs in, and BOOTS! Sanga stays up to choke grip! Sanga says this is it! CHOKE SLAM! Cover, Sanga wins!
Winner: Sanga, by pinfall
Duke tried to bright the fight, but Sanga brought the thunder! Will Sanga storm his way up to something even bigger and better than this?
The Robert Stone Brand speaks.
Robert Stone himself says Solo Sikoa is a fighter, a savage, but he’s got no brains for challenging Von Wagner! Von is a three sport athlete! Sophia Cromwell says even the New York Mets were begging Von to sign with them. But Von chose DI football and pro-wrestling instead. Arm like a cannon with 90 miles per hour heaters! Von tells Stone to stop talking. This isn’t baseball or football, this is a fight. So it doesn’t matter if it’s the streets, the island, or in that ring, Von is going to see just how tough Solo really is! Vicious Von heads out, but will we see who’s the tougher man?
Solo Sikoa has a response.
“Von Wagner, you a bad man. Snapping bones. Let’s see if you can try that on me. Putting fools through tables. Let’s see if you can try that on me. Launching them into the fifth row. Hey, yo, try that on me!” It’s put up or shut up time for Von, and it is go time for Solo! The Street Champion is ready, will Von be?
Backstage interview with Toxic Attraction.
McKenzie says Mandy Rose must be feeling very good right now. Uh, she’s NXT Women’s Champion, of course she feels good. But McKenzie meant because they took out Roxanne in the parking lot. Ugh! That is quite the accusation to be making, McKenzie! Don’t blame them for Roxie getting hurt. Sucks for her but this is NXT. Luck can change in the blink of an eye. From pulling off the upset of the century one week, to wasting a title contract the next. If Roxie is out for awhile, she and Cora can just hand the belts back to Gigi & Jacy. But Mandy did say Roxie would be lucky to make it to their match this week.
Uh, McKenzie, you might not know this, but when you’re the champion, everything falls into place. Was that supposed to be Mandy denying the attack?
Solo Sikoa VS Von Wagner w/ The Robert Stone Brand!
Two of the toughest, meanest and biggest men in NXT collide, both hungry for that top spot. Who knocks the other out of the way to get that much closer to a title opportunity?
As Von makes his entrance, Solo goes right at him! They brawl on the ramp, Von knees low and he brings Solo to the ring. Solo blocks the apron bump to SMACK Von off the apron instead! Solo puts Von in, gets in the ring, and the match officially begins! The two tie up, are in a deadlock, and they break. Solo eggs Von on and they circle. Fans rally for Solo as he and Von tie up again. Von pulls hair, the ref reprimands, but Solo pushes back. They break, stare down, and Von shoves. Solo shoves back, they tie up again, and Von pulls hair again. Solo turns things around, they go around the ring, and Solo gets around to waistlock.
Von elbows free, headlocks but Solo powers up. Von holds on tight, Solo tries again and he gets free. But Von runs Solo over! Von eggs Solo on but Solo stays cool. They tie up again, Solo wrenches to a hammerlock but Von reaches for ropes. Solo keeps him from the ropes, headlocks, but Von powers out. Solo pulls hair to get the headlock back! Fans rally, Von endures and he powers out again. Solo RAMS shoulders but neither man falls! Von eggs Solo on so Solo runs. Solo ducks the haymaker to run Von over! And again! Solo scoops to SLAM Von, then he runs to FALLING HEADBUTT! Cover, TWO!
Solo looms over Von, and KICKS him down! Solo runs again to SENTON! Von bails out and Stone says Von to fight things his way, not Solo’s. Solo waits patiently for Von as NXT goes to break.
NXT returns and Von has Solo down in a chinlock. Solo endures and fights up while the fans rally. Von leans on Solo, but Solo still gets to his feet. Solo throws body shots, whips Von but Von reverses. Solo ducks but Von BOOTS him on the return! Cover, TWO! Solo survives and Von is frustrated. Von rains down fists, then drags Solo to ropes to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Stone talks trash, and Von lets off at 4 to KICK Solo in the back. Von CLUBS Solo, fans rally up and Solo gets to a corner. Von CLUBS Solo more, throws point blank clotheslines, then a running clothesline! Von whips corner to corner and hits another clothesline!
Von talks trash, whips corner to corner again, but Solo dodges! Von hits buckles and Solo hits a BIG back suplex! Fans fire up and Solo sees Von go to a corner. Fans rally with “UCE! SO!” but Von storms up on Solo. Solo blocks and counter punches! And again and again, and then an UPPERCUT! And an elbow! Solo whips but Von kicks! Solo just roars! Solo ducks the haymaker to SAMOAN DROP! SPLASH in the corner and Von sits down! “UCE! SO! UCE! SO!” And Solo runs in to HIP ATTACK! Fans fire up, Solo fires up, but Von bails out. Solo goes out after Von, but Von hits low! Von CLUBS Solo, and SMACKS him off the desk!
Solo just gets mad! Solo ELBOWS Von, Von fires haymakers, Solo hits them back! The ring count is climbing, Von and Solo brawl at the ramp! DOUBLE COUNT-OUT!
Double Count-Out Draw
The brawling continues, even as refs rush out! Von doesn’t want to stop and neither does Solo! They keep throwing hands all the way to the back! What will it take for these two gladiators to finish the fight?
Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams have a night on the town.
With two ladies each, Melo and Trick party up to celebrate the win last week. Melo is still The A Champion, in and out of the ring. But don’t sleep on Trick, he got a W against Wes Lee. Poor Wes never saw it coming. And the night is still young, let’s go dancing! And the after party! Then let’s go to the penthouse! They have drinks and dancing, and Trick says Melo & Trick can take them places. Just look where they are. Remember back in the day when Melo & Trick were getting crossed up by fools on the court? Now they’re crossing the whole world! Kobe & Shaq! Dre & Snoop! The Dream Team! They’ll always be here. That’s all it is and- Oh, hold on. HOT TUB!
Trick asks, “Am I not the cleanest?” “Yes, Trick.” “Am I not the prettiest?” “Yes, Trick.” “Am I not the baddest mofo?” Melo says yeah, we go tit. They need a toast for the A Champ, and shout out to the haters! That’s all it is, and that’s all it’s ever gone be!
Lash Legend speaks.
“Indi Hartwell. Girl, you athletic, but you’re about to find out you ain’t no Lash Legend athletic.” You see her balling? She’s gonna do the same to Indi. Indi has a better shot at finding love on a dating app than getting a win off the one and only, “and you know you can’t clone me.” Lash heads out and the ball rolls, into a red baseball bat…
Chase University went on a field trip!
“London, here we come!” Andre Chase is pretty sure that big welcome banner is for them. Bodhi, Thea, welcome to London! Montage of them seeing the sights, and Chase U prides itself on exposing students to new experiences. Is The Queen a fan of Chase U? She has to be. Thea is very excited, Bodhi is still sore. Chase claims he’s going to be knighted. He will be SIR Andre Chase! This level of world view education is why Chase U is seventh best- Wait, what? Who wrote this? Glenn, is this you? You know damn well Chase U is ALWAYS number one! Chase oughta beat the hell out of that stupid SOB! Glenn is FIRED!
Lash Legend VS Indi Hartwell!
Lash may have been ballin’ in the WNBA, but she ain’t #IndiWrestling. Will Lash learn that she can dribble and dunk all she wants, what’s #IMPRESSIVE is what Indi’s done in NXT? Or is Lash going to show Indi is done in NXT?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Lash and Indi are in a deadlock, but Lash puts Indi in a corner then CLOBBERS her from behind! Lash talks trash, stands Indi up and TOSSE her to a corner. Indi elbows Lash away, kicks low and then reels Lash in for a suplex. Lash fights it, suplexes back but Indi slips out to waistlock. Lash bucks Indi but Indi DECKS Lash!

Winner: Indi Hartwell, by pinfall
It wasn’t as savage as Indi wanted, but she still got that win! Will Lash worry less about Indi and more about Fyre? Speaking of, Fyre has made it to the ring with her bat! She aims at Lash, and Lash wants her to wait! Lash dodges the homerun swing and goes running, only for Fyre to pursue! Fyre swings and hits the desk! Fyre says if Lash wants to talk, bring the fight to her! Will Lash be turned to ash after Fyre gets through with her?
The rest of the NXT Women’s Division talks backstage.
So who really did attack Roxanne? Amari Miller has been watching True Crime shows, it’s pretty much always the husband/boyfriend. Does Roxie even have a boyfriend? Nope. But Feroz and Leon talk in Spanish, so that makes Arianna Grace suspicious that they’re accusing one of them. But then SOLO AND VON are brawling! They’re going nuts backstage, Von throws Solo into a wall! But then Solo choke grips Von! Solo sends Von into a wall, the haymakers fly again, and they go out into the hall! Just where will they brawl next?
Backstage interview with Tony D’Angelo & The Family.
McKenzie says before tonight’s tag team match, does anyone here have an idea who attacked Roxanne Perez? Elektra Lopez says that is a horrible question. Why is she asking them? Because Legado del Fantasma has been known to attack people in the parking lot. Tony says no one attacked Roxanne on his crew because he didn’t give the order. Elektra is proving herself a loyal and vital part of the family. But tonight, we see where Cruz & Wilde stand. The music hits, and Tony says Elektra can stay in the bac. As for Cruz & Wilde, time for them to prove their worth.
The brawl is continuing outside!
Solo and Von have brawled towards a dumpster! Von CLUBS Solo, RAMS him into railing, but he drags Solo back up. Solo throws body shots, Von CLUBS Solo again, but Solo RAMS Von into a garage door! The producers want them to stop, but it’s Sophia who gets Von to let this go. Stone says this isn’t a game! Solo is stupid, this ain’t over! But Solo grabs Stone! “Who the hell do you think YOU are?!” Solo TOSSES Stone into the dumpster! Will Solo look to trash Von the next time he sees him?

But The Don isn’t satisfied, he tells Legado to beat up Malik! So Wilde & Cruz do as they’re told! GAMANGIRI LEG SWEEP COMBO! Tony says that’s what Malik gets for thinking he can beat The Don! Tony then pats Legado on the heads, saying they did good. Will Legado tolerate this patronizing much longer? Or are they waiting for the Emperor of Lucha to return?
Backstage interview with Nikkita Lyons.
McKenzie says Nikkita requested this interview. Does it have to do with information on Roxanne Perez? No, but this about how people think she’s the culprit. Yes, if not for Lyons’ injury, she would be the Breakout Tournament winner. But she doesn’t attack from behind. If she has a problem, she says it it someone’s face. But if Roxie can’t go and Mandy needs an opponent, Lyons will get her gear on and get in that ring to take that title! The moment of truth is approaching, what happens with tonight’s main event title match?
Axiom speaks.
“When I was growing up, comics were my escape from reality. I could sit in my room and escape the chaos, slipping into a faraway time or universe. As I learned to fight, I wondered if I could emulate my idols, take the leap from page to reality. I could be everything I always wanted to be. I could be my own superhero, break free of the world I lived in, and inspire others. I could be a symbol. I remain anonymous, because it’s not about me, it’s about everyone else. I AM Axiom!” And it is time for his NXT 2.0 debut next week!
NXT Women’s Championship: Mandy Rose w/ Toxic Attraction VS Roxanne Perez w/ Cora Jade!
We still don’t know who attacked the Breakout Tournament winner, but if Toxic Attraction are number one on the suspects list, it’s only because of their past behavior. But innocent or not, will Mandy retain by default because of what happened? Or can the gamer girl wrestling prodigy still go tonight?
Gigi gets Mandy a mic so she can say, “Well… Okay, that’s enough out of you peasants. I think it’s been long enough, ladies. What do you say? Roxanne Perez isn’t woman enough to suck it up and challenge me tonight.” Mandy isn’t surprised, but she doesn’t blame her. Roxie couldn’t win, anyway. No one can beat Mandy! Mandy tells the fans to shut up about telling her to shut up, but the dueling continues. Mandy says Roxie could never challenge her, and no one can, because she runs NXT! Nothing will change that! But wait! Cora Jade’s music hits! Cora tells Mandy that she can just shut the hell up!
Mandy’s night isn’t over yet! Because the fans were promised an NXT Women’s Championship match, and that is what we’re going to get! If Roxie can’t go, CORA will step in! Mandy wants Cora to hold on. This might be the funniest thing she’s heard all night. Mandy is going to give Roxie- Well wait! Here comes Roxie! Despite the rib tape, Roxie wants her shot to be tonight! Cora says okay, go kick some ass! The bell rings and it is on! THESZ PRESS from Roxie! Mandy shoves Roxie away and hits the tape! Mandy KICKS the bad ribs, then drags Roxie up. Mandy reels Roxie in, scoops her, but Roxie slips off to roll her! TWO!
Mandy hurries up but Roxie CROSSBODIES! Mandy catches her, to FALL AWAY SLAM! Roxie writhes but Mandy drags Roxie up. Fans duel, Mandy KNEES Roxie in the side! Gigi & Jacy mock Roxie’s pain while Mandy RAMS into Roxie again and again! Mandy lets off at 4, but Roxie ROCKS her! And SHOTGUNS her! Roxie hurries after Mandy but Mandy blocks the whip! Mandy reels Roxie in again to hang her out to dry! Roxie flops out of the ring and to the floor! Mandy goes out, looms over Roxie, then she drags her up. Roxie wants mercy for the ribs but Mandy RAMS her into the apron! And again!
Mandy leaves Roxie behind to soak up the heat and NXT goes picture in picture. Roxie is in tears from the pain, but Cora coaches her up. Mandy goes out after Roxie to drag her up by the tape, and put her in the ring. Mandy wants to win this in the ring, too, and covers, TWO! Mandy is annoyed as Roxie toughs it out. Mandy drags Roxie up, snap suplexes, then covers, TWO! Mandy looms over Roxie, pulls at the rib tape, and makes Roxie a yoyo with it! The ref reprimands so Mandy drops Roxie. Mandy stomps Roxie on the back and stalks her to ropes. Mandy grabs at the tape, then kicks away at her on the ropes!
The ref reprimands, Mandy lets off and she drags Roxie up again. Snap- CRADLE! TWO!!! Roxie almost had Mandy, but Mandy CLOBBERS Roxie! Cover, TWO! Mandy is furious and she tears at the rib tape! She unwraps Roxie and Toxic Attraction is laughing! Mandy throws the tape away, looms over Roxie, then drags her up. Mandy whips Roxie hard into the buckles! Mandy stomps a mudhole then drags Roxie back up. Mandy CLUBS Roxie, hooks her up and has a cobra twist. Roxie endures as NXT returns to single picture. Fans rally, duel, but Mandy elbows away on Roxie’s ribs. Roxie endures, arm-drags free, and she runs, into a SPINEBUSTER! High stack, TWO!
Mandy is shocked that Roxie is still in this! Mandy KNEES Roxie in the side, drags her back, and she uses the tape to pull Roxie into the body scissors! Roxie endures the squeeze, fans rally up, but Mandy clamps on a chinlock. Roxie pries the chinlock open, pushes back to get a cover, TWO! Mandy lets Roxie go to hurry and RAM her into the corner. Mandy RAMS into Roxie again, and again! The ref counts, Mandy carries Roxie and runs, but Roxie slips out to a sunset flip! TWO!! Mandy KNEES Roxie in the ribs again! Fans rally, Mandy whips Roxie to a corner, then runs in, into a KNEE from Roxie!
Fans fire up and Roxie goes up! Toxic Attraction freaks out, Roxie CROSSBODIES! But she bounces off the landing! Fans are thunderous as both women get up, and Roxie counter punches Mandy! And again! Roxie whips, Mandy reverses but Roxie hits a LEAPING LARIAT! And another! Roxie fires up, adrenaline helping with the pain! UPPERCUT in the corner, then another! Mandy staggers, Roxie runs, tilt-o-whirl and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Cover, TWO!! Mandy survives and Toxic Attraction can breathe again. Roxie hurries to hop on, POP- NO, Mandy slips free! Mandy runs in but POSTS herself!
Mandy flops out of the ring, Gigi & Jacy go to her side, but Roxie builds speed! Roxie DIVES to wipe out Mandy! Fans are thunderous, Jacy runs in but Roxie POSTS her! And SOBATS Gigi, to POST her! Roxie and Mandy are up,. Roxie hops on, POP ROX TO THE FLOOR!! Cora fires up and tells Roxie to get in the ring! Roxie drags Mandy up, puts her in, and Cora tells her to hurry! But then Jacy distracts the ref, and CORA CLOBBERS ROXIE?!?! WHY!?!? They’re best friends AND tag team champions together!! KNEE FROM A ROSE!! Cover, Mandy wins!
Winner: Mandy Rose, by pinfall (still NXT Women’s Champion)
How could Cora do this to Roxie?! HOW!? Does their friendship mean nothing if Roxie were to be a double champion? Toxic Attraction still has one belt, and Cora gets in the ring to say that SHE brought Roxie here and this is what Roxie does. Roxie is the selfish one?! Cora BEATS Roxie with her board, until it breaks!! What does this mean for their tag title reign?
My Thoughts:
This was a good episode, until they went the dumbest way possible with the Women’s Championship story. I am actually asking, not just kayfabe wondering, WHAT THE HELL are they doing?! Cora betrayed Roxie while they’re both champions, so what’s supposed to happen with the tag titles? And also, what a waste of the inaugural Women’s Breakout Tournament contract. Nikkita Lyons probably was their choice to win before her injury, but you can’t just take a piss on your own back-up plan! I am calling shenanigans and BS to the highest degree on this, I don’t care whose idea it was to do this.
Apollo VS Vinci was a very good opening match, but while Apollo didn’t see it with his Equalizer scenario power, I should’ve seen that Xyon would attack and cost Apollo the match. Apollo will of course go after Xyon and get a win over him, then he can go towards a title. Melo & Trick are partying it up, but Melo will be game time ready for that awesome match. Tiffany Stratton has a good promo but her calling out Wendy Choo makes me think this feud is far from over. Grimes and Devlin/McDonagh had a good promo and confrontation, that match can be seen as a #1 contender’s scenario while also being a good-bye feud for Grimes, because of course Devlin’s winning.
I liked the promo with Diamond Mine’s members, the group is falling apart more, and Strong VS Kemp could be the last straw. I would think Strong wins this, but that only gets him kicked out of the group. But that’s fine, because surely, Tatum Paxley is joining the group after getting a good win over Kayden Carter. KC Squared is really a team that got the short end of the stick, because they’ve been a solid tag team this whole time, yet passed over for a lot of other people. And it’s worse when you consider RawDown isn’t giving a damn about their tag division anymore, so even being called up would mean nothing for them.
Indi Hartwell got a win because her match was more about Lash and Fyre than her. I hope that the missed springboard was a work, it’d be a shame if Indi got hurt now while she has a chance to be a solo act. And speaking of Solo, I liked that he and Von had their match end in a draw and they just brawled throughout the arena. This definitely calls for a Falls Count Anywhere match between the two for the next big episode of NXT. And we got a pretty decent bar vignette from Briggs, Jensen and Pretty Deadly to set up their NXT UK Tag Team Championship match. I expected Briggs & Jensen to have their first easy defense be in NXT UK but whatever, NXT needs ratings, too.
Sanga is clearly becoming NXT’s newest ladies man as he continues to charm both Leon and Feroz, and he continues to whoop whoever steps to him. Duke Hudson also got the short stick of things because of who got cut and when. There was so much more potential for Duke, Dexter, Indi and Persia, but nope, Nick Khan said to let Dexter and Persia go and now Duke is lost in jobber limbo. Gacy’s promo didn’t do much, but it did establish that one, their faction has a name, “The Schism,” and two, The Dyad will show themselves so that we’ll all see what we knew: It’s Grizzled Young Veterans, Gibson & Drake.
Tony D’Angelo and the rest had a good promo section, and while he was telling Cruz & Wilde they had to prove their worth, where was the moment during the match where they did something? I was watching the whole time, saw nothing remotely similar to cheating or distracting. Them beating up Malik after was a rather cheap way to put pressure on them, but I bet that while Cruz & Wilde rejoin Escobar, there’s a good chance Lopez stays loyal to The Don since he’s been complimenting her good work.
We’re getting an interesting next step for “Axiom”/A-Kid. They were hiding his face, even though anyone who has heard him talk can tell it’s him, because he’s becoming a masked wrestler. The mask looks very good, and it does fit with him having a name that sounds very much like a comic book superhero, and with A-Kid’s in-ring ability, it will all blend together perfectly. I just didn’t expect this to be the direction they’d take him after how strongly NXT UK built him in their midcard.
My Score: 8.2/10

Andrew’s TNA LIVE! iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.20.2025
So the first live episode got fairly positive praise from everyone; will this continue the trend?
Filming at Full Sail seems to have set the stage nicely this week! Going into a Live episode we got Moose and The Hardy Boyz on NXT, as well as Jordynne Grace’s involvement with Steph and Giulia giving a little shine to TNA happenings since she’s newly WWE.
This episode should be interesting, we finally see Lei Ying Lee (fka Xia Li) back in action, Rascalz take on Tyson and Tyriek, Tessa should be seeing some action as well…so generally interesting happenings for the second Live iMPACT! of 2025. Let’s see how this one goes down!
No matter where @ManceWarner and @stephdelander go, @TheSamiCallihan WILL FIND THEM!

Results:
Oh yeah, and another Hendry concert is…cut off by a commercial, LOLTNA. First Hendry is cut off by AXSTV’s new Anime Hour bumper, and now Primo and Epico are showing up in TNA. I definitely didn’t have this on my BINGO card. The crowd starts chanting “Where’s Carlito”, which they do acknowledge and play off of well. Oh they’re using their shoot names of Orlando and Eddie now…but before they attack the lights go out and we get another guitar strum! ELIAH/ELIAS/EZEKIEL/EBENERZER/EMERY/EL VAGABUNDO – shows up to back up Hendry. Okay I can apologize away the redundant concert since it played into an Elijah debut. The crowd is immediately popping and chanting “This is Awesome” 10 minutes into the show.
Tyson & Tyriek w/Wes Lee vs The Rascalz w/Ace Austin
Treehouse bros take it to the bigger men quickly, a few fast dives, a little MCMG style tandem strikes, Tyson fires and tries to take them out but they Low Bridge him. Tyriek comes in and they try similar things but Tyriek manhandles them both and throws them out of the ring, Trey is the first one back up and Tyriek and Tyson take his damn head off with his Corkscrew Running Euro Upper. Trey finally manages to flip out of the manhandle, tags in Wentz and Wentz goes for the hot and spicy cleaning house spot. Corner to Corner Knee Lifts for both big men, a Rolling Snapmare, into a Superkick for Tyson and Standing Shoot Star on Tyriek but only for two because Wes feints like he’s going to interfere.
Tyson and Tyriek pull off a tandem Assisted Backdrop Driver, but Wentz breaks it up, Tyson gets knocked out, Wentz hits the Tornillo, Wes tries to interfere again after Trey gets perched on the corner buckle but Ace runs around and trips Wes at the last second causing him to faceplant on the apron, Trey hits the Meteora, Wentz hits a Swanton from the other side of the ring and Trey gets the pinfall victory.
It was fast paced, all gas no brakes, but it didn’t overstay its welcome, so it was pretty fun all things considered.
After the match Wes grabs a mic, complains a little but challenges them to a 6 man match as Sacrifice. So we’re THAT’S where we’re getting the expected 3v3.
Fir$t Cla$$ comes out with an entourage of hot chicks and probably influencers or something. The “First Class Penthouse” , Gabby AF, Mafiosa Valentina, and Carolina are apparently known in their own way. Gabby I know was the awful one who did something for Impact a last year and sucked, but she’s part of the Busted Open Network I believe so that’s why she’s around. Two of them look like Noelle Foley and Frank the Clown…oh they actually are. Look at that. I do love KC Navarro as the Hype Man, they have this whole set up of AJ being mad that they haven’t gotten more Tag Title shots, so TNA placated him with his own Piper’s Pit and he’s *pregnant pause* totally happy with that. He says he loved Piper and hated Hogan before it was cool.
This is actually quality content and AJ is cutting a nice promo in this segment. They introduce their first guest, the greatest performer in TNA history, many whole say he’s Phenomenal with a whole lot of style….it’s A-J-Francis.
.@AJFrancis410 is GOING OFF!

Lei Ying Lee vs Rosemary
Things were slow until Rosemary took her into a corner quickly, hit the Upside Down, and we get a lot of Lei trying to avoid Rosemary’s offense. Rosemary goes for a Spear in the corner and Lei forward rolls, starts connecting with a bunch of right hands, backs Rosemary into the corner, goes for 10 Count Punches, pulls her out, Airplane Spin TKO for only a two count. Rosemary tries As Above So Below, Lei shrugs it off, Rosemary tries to go after Lei anyway and eats Thunderstruck! Lei Ying Lee wins!
After the match Rosemary catches Lei on the ramp and hits the Green mist in the eyes. Match was far too short and so many of Lei’s set up moves look better than her finish. We’ve seen Kofi Kingston do it for years so it’s not bad, just the current Knockouts Division are awful and don’t take the move well.
Eric Young and the jabronis come out, EY cuts a very basic power crazed psycho kind of promo, gets the “What” chants from the crowds. EY is trying to recruit Maclin even though Maclin made his line in the sand last week. EY tries to spin it as maybe he took out Josh FOR Maclin instead of in spite of his trust. This really doesn’t seem interesting at all, but that’s probably because I hate the two Jabronis EY is with.
NoDQ Match: Leon Slater vs JDC
I really don’t have any interest in Slater. He’s got no personality beyond “flippy guy with a British accent”.
Dango immediately powders, grabs a chair and goes to swing on him but misses. So Leon is making JDC look dumb by dodging the post chop, using the chair to shield himself from a punch by JDC, and then clapping Dango’s fingers between the chair. So typical System match, look inept for the first few minutes, then take advantage of something to take over. Oh look, Leon takes too long setting up the table, Dango gets in a few pot shots, tries to whip him into the table but Leon leaps over it, and then leaps back over to clobber Dango. Dango is still trying to recover so Leon hits his over the corner post con hilo, and the crowd appreciates it but I’m not interested. Leon panders to the crowd after the big spot and then eats an X-Plex into the chair from Dango.
JDC throws Leon back in, goes for a pinfall that’s only a two and we cut to a commercial. Coming out of the commercial JDC is in control with a Kendo Stick until he isn’t, Leon counters and takes the keno stick, brutalizes Dango a few times then comes off the ropes with the kendo shot for 2. Leon goes for another table, and again, at least the crowd is receptive to this match. Leon sets it up, looks for something off the apron but Dango stops him first until he eats a dropkick to fall onto the table, Leon hits the Swanton 450 through the table on the outside. Does it look cool? Sure. Do I care about dumbass moves? Nope.
Oh thankfully the rest of The System comes out to stop the pinfall, Shield Bomb Leon through the first table, and roll him back in for Dango to win.
The Hardy Boyz come out to try and make the save, but the numbers are against them, so Oba Femi’s music hits! Oba cleans house but doesn’t get his hands on Moose, so they’re at least building the eventual clash between Moose and Oba.
The crowd starts a “Tessa, we comin for you” chant before she even starts talking. Tessa is actually playing off the crowd well, Santino’s music hits and Tessa thinks he’ll help her out with the crowd and Santino calls bullshit basically. Santino says if Tessa doesn’t wrestle next week, she’s fired and Masha’s music hits. Masha decides to step in for Tessa’s enhancement talent match.
Masha Slamovich vs Mila Moore
Jobber tries to attack Masha early but Masha stops her, rocks her and Requiem ends the match.
Masha stares down Tessa, and then Cora Jade attacks from behind and hits Jaded.
Ryan Nemeth comes out to his Abyss music remix. What will Mokuba say today? “MYYYY BIIIGG BBRROOOOTTHHHEEEEER” he repeats at least 4 times and it’s hilariously cringe. He announces that Nic will return at Sacrifice, he literally just came out to give a PSA.
Elijah & Joe Hendry vs The Colons
Hendry starts with Eddie, after a brief tie up it seems like Hendry reads the room and points at Elijah and the crowd wants him in. So Joe tags in Elijah, a little back and forth, Shoulder Tackle from Elijah, Rope Walk with Elijah lays out Eddie and a tag to Joe allows for a quick tandem knockdown, but Eddie powders as the Walking and Talking Duo hold the ring going into the final commercial break.
We come back and Hendry is bouncing Orlando off the ropes as he return a strike, but Orlando is obviously losing, eats a Euro Upper, and then gets walked around in the Stalling Suplex for posterity. Eddie tries a sneak attack but gets caught and Sack of Shit, into Kip Up, turn and then Orlando with the ambush! A few quick short cuts and an Irish Whip/Dropkick combo gives the Colons a near fall. Hendry does get locomotion variation cradles, but eats a Dropkick to stop the attempt at momentum. Orlando stays on Joe, but Joe finally starts to fire up as the crowd starts to get behind him. Euro Uppers make some space, but a Snapmare says no.
Eddie gets tagged in and a quick Leg Sweep into a Front Chancery keeps Eddie in control. As Joe tries to get back up, Eddie turns it into a Guillotine, but finally the Suplex counter connects for Hendry! Simultaneous tags! Elijah bulls over Orlando, catches a Leap Frogging Orlando with the Manhattan Drop as Orlando retreats to a corner, Stinger Splash into Spinebuster for two. Elijah tries to keep up the attacks but Orlando finds a few ways to make space, launches himself from the middle rope and eats the Jumping Knee! Eddie breaks up the pinfall, Hendry takes Eddie out and Elijah hits the Tombstone Piledriver for the win!
Overall Score: 6/10
Well there were more live hiccups than the first episode, and this felt both more epic and less epic at the same time. Elijah and the Colons debuting was a nice way to kick things off, Oba Femi showing up for the save was fantastic. There were a few decent matches, but also a lot of really short and rushed matches. Tessa played off the crowd well, but Masha really is useless on the mic. Lei Ying Lee needs to framed stronger, her matches have done nothing to show off her ability. It just proves that the Knockouts don’t know how to sell a kick to the head because they all take it in the shoulder and fall in corny ways.
Viva La Sam could be something fun if the next 3 weeks are just hand cam footage of him being like “I’m Sami Callihan and I’m gonna kick Mance Warner’s ass”, Elegance Clique getting the rematch with a stipulation is nice to see and while I like Fir$t Cla$$, that segment went a little long for a cornball swerve payoff. It’s one thing to placate the Influencer squad especially when we’ve seen Logan Paul and Ishowspeed do so well in WWE…but these are like Z Tier Influencers that no one cares about. These kind of dorks stream on Kick because they aren’t relevant enough for Twitch, not because they chose Kick over it.
So yeah, the low lights were pretty low, and the highs were a little fleeting, but at least they were pretty fun. Not a bad show, just clunky with noticeable issues and Masha shouldn’t be allowed to speak English anymore. She’s such a charisma vacuum when she’s not rambling in Russian.

Fuego Del Sol VS Wheeler Yuta!
Lucha night opens with a hot start as the Fire of the Sun returns to ROH, but so does The Decoder! Will Fuego Del Sol get one up on a former ROH Pure Champion turned current AEW World Trios Champion? Or will Yuta do the Death Riders proud in Houston?
Houston cheers on the Texas star, and Fuego offers the Code of Honor. Yuta reaches out, but then SLAPS Fuego! The fans boo and the bell rings, Yuta slips around to CLUB Fuego down! Yuta mocks the fans cheering on Fuego, then scoops him for a SLAM and SENTON! The fans boo but Yuta brings Fuego up. FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO, but Yuta holds onto the leg! Yuta taunts Fuego, but Fuego kicks at him! Yuta lets go and the fans rally up. Yuta runs up, Fuego ELBOWS him away, then goes up, up and FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up as Fuego then DROPKICKS Yuta down!
Yuta staggers up, Fuego SLAPS him! But Yuta LARIATS in return! The fans boo but Yuta rains down fists! And then stops, to rain down more fists! The fans boo but Yuta soaks that up while he “kicks dirt” on Fuego. Yuta stands Fuego up, CHOPS him, then has him in a corner. Yuta CHOPS Fuego again, the fans boo, but Yuta whips corner to corner hard! Fuego staggers forward, Yuta says they ain’t done yet. Yuta whips Fuego to the corner again, then FLAPJACKS on the rebound! Yuta adds a basement DROPKICK! The fans boo but Yuta soaks up heat. Yuta hits a spinning toehold, then has a DEATHLOCK!
Fuego endures and Yuta mockingly asks if he’ll give up. Fuego refuses to give in, and he SLAPS Yuta! So Yuta bridges and puts on more pressure! Yuta shows off by not even using his hands, but Fuego fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! Yuta lets go at 4, and he reminds the ref, “I have ’til five!” The fans boo Yuta parodying Bryan Danielson, then Yuta kicks Fuego around. Yuta eggs Fuego on, so Fuego ROCKS him! And ROCKS him! And again, and again, and again! But Yuta gets under the big haymaker! Yuta back suplexes, but Fuego lands out! Fuego dodges Yuta to then springboard QUEBRADA! Down goes Yuta!
The fans fire up as Fuego kips up and SUPERKICKS! Yuta sputters, Fuego runs and STEP-UP DOUBLE STOMPS! The fans fire up again as Fuego climbs a corner! Yuta stands, Fuego MISSILE- NO, Yuta gets under and comes back, BUSAIKU KNEE! Cover, Yuta wins!
Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall
Another thing he took from The American Dragon is that big knee, and Yuta takes the victory. Yuta sits Fuego up, and thinks about Hammer ‘n’ Anvil elbows, but he decides not to. Because he gets an even more sadistic idea! Yuta looks under the ring, and he brings out a steel chain! Yuta threatens the ref, then he goes to Fuego! The fans boo but Yuta hooks Fuego’s legs up, then uses the chain to go up, up and away, ROMERO SPECIAL!! Yuta taunts Fuego but Fuego is coughing up blood! Yuta lets Fuego go, the fans boo, but Yuta mockingly gives the Code of Honor handshake. Yuta no longer has honor, but will someone find a way to humble him?
Rachael Ellering VS Abadon!
The Queen of Strong Smile is feeling good being in Houston, ready to bring that Comet energy. However, she’s up against the Living Dead Girl, who brings a very different vibe. Will Rachael learn why everyone fears Abadon? Or will Rachael’s smile see her through?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, but uh, Abadon doesn’t let go. Rachael tries to get free, and now it is a tug-o-war. The fans rally, Rachael reels Abadon into a headlock, but Abadon BITES Rachael’s hand! The ref reprimands, Abadon lets go, and Abadon doesn’t get what’s wrong. Abadon runs up on Rachael but Rachael gets around to waistlock. Abadon switches, but Rachael goes to ropes to buck the O’Conner! Rachael CLOBBERS Abadon, but Abadon sits up! The fans rally, Rachael is frustrated, and then runs up. Abadon gets around, trips Rachael, then runs to basement dropkick! Rachael flounders to a corner and the fans rally again.
Abadon aims from a corner, runs in at Rachael, but Racahel ELBOWS Abadon away! Abadon says nuh-uh, comes back, but runs into a BOOT! Rachael runs and UPPERCUTS Abadon down! The fans fire up and Rachael aims from a corner. Rachael calls for the “SQUISH~!” and runs up, SENTON onto knees! Abadon avoids disaster and stalks Rachael to the apron. Abadon CLUBS Rachael, pushes her onto the apron, and springboards for a GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! The fans fire up and Abadon pushes Rachael into the ring. Abadon runs corner to corner for a METEORA! Abadon pushes Rachael to a cover, TWO!
Abadon is annoyed but brushes it off. Abadon drags Rachael up, but Rachael fights the suplex! Rachael wrenches out, trips Abadon, and high stacks, ONE!! Rachael ROCKS Abadon, then tries again. FISHERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up for the “MD Collapse” and Rachael aims again. SQUISH~ SENTON hits! Cover, TWO! Abadon survives and Rachael is a bit surprised. Rachael throws off the headband, double checks her teeth, and the fans duel. Rachael CHOPS Abadon at the ropes, then ROCKS Abadon with a forearm! Rachael whips but Abadon blocks! So Rachel CHOPS again! Rachael whips, Abadon grabs ropes, and laughs!
Rachael runs up, Abadon ELBOWS and CUTTERS! Then BLACK DAHLIA!! Cover, Abadon wins!
Winner: Abadon, by pinfall
Abadon continues to be terrifying, as well as victorious. Will the ROH Women’s Division, and especially the champions, have to watch their backs?
Backstage interview with Jacked Jameson.
Lexy Nair is with the former Iron Savage, and he’s counting his abs. She brings us back to a few weeks ago when he walked up to Griff Garrison, Preston Vance & Cole Karter in hopes of forming a group with them. Then in Jacksonville, Jameson actually interfered in their match on their behalf. The question is, what’s going on here? Jameson says those are his boys! His guys! His dudes! Jameson went out there, helped them, it was huge! It was awesome! Speaking of, the boys walk in! Vance tells Jameson that they’ve heard his offer, they loved what he did in Jacksonville, and tonight is a big match and… They’d love if he was a part of it.
So then, it’s official! They got him some Frat House gear! But first… he has to do something. Yeah, sure! Anything! Vance, Griff & Karter pour all of their drinks into one red Solo cup, and Jameson asks what’s in it. The boys say don’t worry about it. Jameson says don’t have to tell him twice. He chugs the concoction, and he is PUMPED! The Frat House is now four men strong, and Jameson says after tonight, party at the Frat House! Vance tells Jameson that one thing about them: win or lose, they booze! The Frat boys head out, Lexy can finally breathe from whatever was in that cup, and it’s time to see if Jameson passes the test!
12 Man Tag: The Premier Athletes & The Frat House VS Top Flight, The Outrunners & The Von Erichs!
Instead of “Smart” Mark Sterling, Tony Nese has the mic to tell Bobby Cruise to shut up, “no one wants to listen to your stupid voice.” Nese then tells the “fat boys and fat girls” of Houston, Nese & Daivari couldn’t think of a better partner for this match than an athlete that makes every single one of them put to shame! Yes, it’s SMART MARK himself! Wait, seriously? Sterling takes the mic to say that’s right, he is still here to make sure that the losers of Texas can take part in their winning cheer. So please, get this right. When he says, “Athletes,” you say, “Rule!” NOTHING ELSE! Hands in, boys. Ohhh…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Gottee!
But with that, Dante & Darius Martin enter, accompanied by Leila Grey. Then Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd enter, and last but not least, Texas’ own, Marshall & Ross Von Erich! The massive teams sort out, and Darius starts against Nese. The fans rally up and Darius circles with Nese. Nese says wait, wait! He knows what the fans are here to see. Nese flexes, but the fans boo. Nese shouts, “ATHLETES!” The fans respond, “SUCK!” Nese and Darius circle, but then Nese kicks low! Nese bumps Darius off buckles, then tags in Daivari. “We’ll show you who sucks!” Nese & Daivari fire hands in the corner while the fans boo.
The ref counts, The Premier Athletes stop, and they both shout, “ATHLETES!” Again, the fans say, “SUCK!” Daivari tags Griff and they mug Darius. Griff ROCKS Darius, has him in a corner, then whips corner to corner. Darius goes up and over, rolls and arm-drags, then he DROPKICKS! The fans cheer, and Darius whips Griff into Dante’s BOOT! Tag to Dante, Darius CHOPS, Dante trips Griff, and Darius adds DOUBLE STMOPS! Griff scrambles, tag to Jameson, but Dante arm-drags Jameson! Dante keeps the armlock, he tags in Ross, and Ross wrenches to a wristlock. Ross YANKS the arm, then tags Marshall.
The Von Erichs double whip Jameson, then Marshall sends Ross in, FLYING BOOT! FLYING LARIAT and then Marshall snapmares Jameson for Ross’s PENALTY KICK! STANDING MOONSAULT and Marshall covers, TWO! Marshall fires the fans up, then hauls Jameson up to headlock. Tag to Truth and he wrenches Jameson. The fans rally but Jameson fires hands! Jameson whips, Daivari gets a cheap shot in, but Truth DECKS Daivari! Only for Vance to CLOBBER Truth! The ref has to keep Truth’s team back, so he missed all that! Jameson stomps Truth, tags Vance, and Vance covers, TWO!
Vance ROCKS Truth, has him in the corner, then CHOPS! Tag to Daivari, he CHOPS Truth, then he tags Nese. The Premier Athletes mug Truth with haymaker after haymaker, but the ref is still too busy keeping Top Flight, Turbo & The Von Erichs back! Nese drags Truth up, and he tags in Sterling!? The fans boo but Sterling gets to throw hands on Truth! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling drags Truth back, anchors a leg, and tags in Vance. Vance stomps Truth, tags Jameson, and Jameson tags Griff. Vance puts Truth in a corner, Griff sends Jameson in to LARIAT! Vance adds a BOOT, and then Griff BOOTS Truth down! Cover, TWO!
Griff tags Vance back in, they mug Truth, and Vance keeps Truth from the corner. Vance suplexes, covers, TWO! Truth stays in this but Vance stays on him with a chinlock. Truth endures, the fans rally up, and Truth stands. Truth fires body shots, but Vance CLUBS him! Vance whips, Truth ducks ‘n’ dodges, DOUBLE LARIATS take them both down! The fans fire up again as Truth and Vance crawl. Truth pushes past Vance, but Leila has to get out of the way as The Premier Athletes & Frat House all run up! They all YANK Top Flight, Turbo & The Von Erichs off the apron, leaving Truth stranded! But at least Truth’s team fights back!
The fans fire up, but Truth turns around into a BOOT! Truth ends up on the apron, Vance runs up, and Vance SPEARS Truth onto the entire cluster! The fans fire up as Vance drags Truth into the ring. Cover, TWO! The fans rally up as Truth stays in this. The teams regroup, Vance whips Truth to the corner, but Truth BOOTS back! Truth fires hands on everyone else, and then storms up, but Vance keeps him from his corner! Vance whips and catches Truth to a SLEEPER, but Truth hits a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up as Truth crawls! Leila coaches Truth, hot tag to Turbo! And to Sterling!? Sterling panics, he wants nothing to do with Turbo!
Jameson runs in, Turbo DECKS him! Griff runs in, Turbo DECKS him! Nese runs in, Turbo DECKS him! Daivari runs in, Turbo DECKS him! Turbo then scoops and SLAMS Nese! And he scoops and SLAMS Daivari! The fans fire up as Turbo ELBOWS Daivari in a corner, headlocks, BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO on The Premier Athletes! The fans are thunderous as Turbo flexes, but Sterling slithers in! Sterling CLUBS Turbo on the back, the fans boo, but Turbo just frowns and turns around. Sterling apologizes but Turbo grabs him by his shirt. Only for Jameson to get in and scoop SLAM Turbo! Jameson shouts, “Mark Sterling! You sonova b*tch!”
Jameson and Sterling look to parody the handshake, but Truth CLOBBERS Jameson! Sterling again apologizes, but Turbo stands back up! Sterling backs up into Turbo, panics, but Truth scoops Sterling! SLAM! The fans fire up as we get the real deal! Except Nese & Daivari get in! Wait, Marshall & Ross get them first, with DOUBLE IRON CLAWS! “Turbo Floyd! You sonova b*tch!” DOUBLE ELBOW DROP on Sterling! And then Sterling flounders up, into a scoop, but Griff & Vance get in! Top Flight DOUBLE SUPERKICK them back out! Truth runs, TOTAL RECALL!! Dante runs, Darius sets up, FLIGHT IN MOTION for Griff! Turbo covers Sterling, #TopVonRunners win!
Winners: Top Flight, The Outrunners & The Von Erichs, by pinfall
Everything’s bigger in Texas, and that includes this win as the super team everybody loves stands tall! But with The Von Erichs holding gold with Dustin Rhodes, will The Sons of Texas soon be everyone’s top priority?
MXM Collection speaks.
ROH Media found Mansoor & Mason Madden after their loss at ROH Global Wars: Australia, but they still had their remodeled ROH World Tag title belt. As such, they act triumphant and victorious because they “successfully defended” their ROH World Tag Team Championship. Because as you can see, they still have the belt! Shoutout to Dustin Rhodes, he is a great fellow tag team champion, he really tested MXM. But then they ran away with this here title, and there is nothing anyone can say about it! Fingertip touch and MXM heads out, but they do know possession is NOT nine-tenths of the law in ROH, right?
Billie Starkz VS Hyan!
As if tensions weren’t already high between these two, Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths is being belittled because she lost to Harley Cameron on the Jericho Cruise while The Fallen Goddess is still ROH Women’s World Champion after beating Alex Windsor in Australia. The Athena World Tour returns home to Texas, but will Billie make “Boss” proud? Or will even disappointment be bigger in Texas?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans rally up for Hyan. Billie is annoyed, the two tie up, and Billie wrenches to a wristlock. Hyan cartwheels, wrenches to a wristlock, but Billie rolls, rolls back, then trips Hyan. Billie flexes, the fans are torn, but then Billie throws Hyan down by her hair! Billie talks smack on Hyan, Hyan runs up, but Billie dodges to waistlock and shove. Billie then bypasses Hyan to sunset flip. Hyan rolls through, but Billie basement ENZIGIRIS! Billie then drags Hyan up to waistlock. Hyan fires elbows, runs to ropes, but Billie holds on! Billie CLUBS Hyan’s arms from the ropes, to STRAITJACKET GERMAN!
Billie scowls, then she stalks Hyan to the corner. Billie stomps a mudhole in, but the ref counts. Billie tells him to back off! The fans boo, but Billie asks, “What do you want from me!?” Billie runs in, but Hyan dodges and Billie POSTS herself! The fans fire up, Hyan storms over, and Hyan brings Billie up to suplex high and hard! The fans fire up and Hyan feels that energy! Hyan runs to SPLASH in the corner! Hyan keeps moving, but Billie ELBOWS her away. And BOOTS her! Billie goes up, Hyan stops the boot, but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! Billie goes up top, leaps, but Hyan gets under! Hyan ELBOWS Billie, cravats to KNEE and KNEE SMASH!
Hyan hits a BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Billie stays in this, it’s why she’s the inaugural ROH Women’s TV Champion. But she sits up into a CHOP! Hyan CHOPS again, and again, but Billie blocks! Billie scowls, and then she ROCKS Hyan again and again! Billie has Hyan in the corner, fires more shots, but the ref counts. Billie stops at 4, then backs up just to run up, HEEL KICK! Billie then puts Hyan up top, Electric Chair Lifts, and she tucks Hyan in for a DRIVER!! Cover, Billie wins!
Winner: Billie Starkz, by pinfall
Well, if Kenny Omega uses a One Winged Angel, was that a Two Winged Angel? The bottom line is Billie is back in the win column, but will she ever fight her way out from under Athena’s tyranny?
ROH World Television Championship: Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Lee Johnson w/ EJ Nduka!
After failing to finish the Proving Ground match in under ten minutes, the Commander of the Skies has owed Big Shotty this title shot. Will Komander get the job done now that there’s a thirty minute time limit? Or will Lee prove this is all too easy?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is really the star of ROH TV!
The Code of Honor is not upheld as Lee leaves Komander hanging. The bell rings, the fans rally for Komander, and the two circle. Lee chuckles, tells Houston to calm down and shut up, then he ties up with Komander. Lee arm-drags, but Komander holds on. They stand, Lee waistlocks, Komander switches, but Lee switches. They switch again and again, but then Lee headlocks. Komander headlocks, Lee slips out and hits a takeover. Komander headscissors, Lee kips free, and things speed up. Komander QUEBRADA but Lee dodges! Komander still headlocks for a takeover, Lee headscissors, and Komander kips free. The two stand off and the fans cheer.
Lee and Komander reset, circle again, and Lee mockingly applauds. Lee pie faces Komander and talks trash. Komander storms up but Lee pie faces him again! Lee goes for another, Komander blocks to CHOP, go up and up, but Lee yanks him down! Lee says Komander’s not gonna do lucha on him! But Komander CHOPS! And CHOPS! Komander goes up and up and jumps around, to FLYING ARM-DRAG! Lee tumbles out, EJ is there, but Komander builds speed! Komander rolls, slow-mo up and over to then RANA! EJ can’t believe it but the fans fire up! Komander puts Lee back in the ring, then he springboards, flying sunset flip! TWO!!
Lee escapes then bails out, and Komander keeps an eye on him. #LEE-J regroup and EJ coaches Lee up. Lee storms up to the apron, but Komander DROPKICKS him down! The fans fire up, Komander builds speed, but EJ stands in the way! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Lee slides in and CLOBBERS Komander! The ref says this is EJ’s last warning, but Lee says Komander is nothing! Cover, TWO! Lee is frustrated and he drags Komander up. Lee bumps Komander off buckles, then brings him around to fire body shots. The fans rally, the ref counts, but Lee stomps away on Komander. Lee digs his boots in, but steps off at 4.
Lee storms back up on Komander, brings him around, and whips him corner to corner hard! Komander bounces off buckles, Lee shouts, “You’re NOTHING!” Lee covers, TWO! Lee is frustrated, but he rains down fists! The fans rally with “SI SE PUEDES!” Lee hammers away, then lets off to talk trash. Lee drags Komander up, TOSSES him to the outside, and EJ stays back. Lee taunts Houston, the ref watches EJ closely, but The Judge defends his own innocence. Lee goes out the side to fetch Komander, and he CLUBS Komander down! Lee puts Komander in the ring, drags him up, and snapmares for a chinlock.
The fans boo Lee while Komander endures, but Lee says Komander is still nothing! Abrahantes rallies the fans for Komander, and Komander fights up to his feet! Komander throws body shots, but Lee wrangles Komander back down! “This is your guy? This is too easy!” The fans boo, then they rally back up. Komander rises, fires body shots and forearms, and he CHOPS! The fans fire up with Komander as he fires even more shots! Komander runs up at the corner, but Lee puts him on the apron! Komander BLINDSIDE LARIATS Lee! Komander goes up, but Lee goes out! Komander hops down, Lee SUPERKICKS him!
Lee huffs ‘n’ puffs and reels Komander in! Canadian Rack, but Komander slips free! Komander scopos, Lee slips free, and Lee CLUBS Komander! The fans boo but Lee suplexes, but Komander lands inside! Komander catches Lee in the ropes and fires KNEE after KNEE! Komander UPPERCUTS, then ROCKS Lee, and he runs side to side! RANA-DRIVER!! A rough landing for both men, but the fans rally up even harder! Komander sits up, Lee follows, and both men stand. Komander fires forearms and CHOPS! And then another! Lee ducks the chop, back suplexes, but Komander lands out! KICK! KICK! BLINDSIDE SOBAT!
Komander runs, QUEBRADA! Cover, TWO! Lee survives, the fans rally up, and Komander rises again. Komander has Lee in a drop zone and hurries to the corner! Houston fires up as Komander climbs, but Lee rolls to the far side. Komander hops down, runs up, then goes up the corner to RA- NO! Lee stops Komander, runs for a corner, but Komander RANAS Lee into buckles! Komander mule kicks, SUPERKICKS, then runs, but into a DROPKICK! Lee shouts, “I am not playing with this guy!” Lee hauls Komander up, reels him in, and lifts, but Komander SPINNING POISON-RANAS!!! Cover, TWO!!!
Lee survives and Komander is stunned! Houston rallies behind him again and Komander rises back up. Komander hurries to the corner and back up top! Lee sputters, but he manages to trip Komander up! Lee rises up, he fires hands on Komander, but Komander fires body shots! Komander SHOVES Lee, Lee backflips through! Lee comes right back! SUPER DUPER PLEX!! And he rolls through, to the outside? BRAINBUSTER to the floor!! EJ is fired up and the fans lose their minds! The ref checks both men, and somehow they’re both okay to continue. Lee and Komander stir while the ring count begins.
Both men are down at 5 of 20, then 8. Lee staggers up at 9, and he grabs Komander’s leg to SLAM it against the LED barrier again and again! Then he KICKS the leg! The ref reprimands, finish this in the ring! Wait, EJ has the title belt! The ref spots that, tells EJ to back off, but then Abrahantes snatches the belt from EJ! The fans cheer, EJ storms upon Abrahantes, but Lee puts Komander in the ring. Lee snarls while Komander unties his boot. Komander is getting pressure off the bad ankle, but Lee has him by the other leg. Komander ENZIGIRIS, but that was the bad foot! Komander writhes, but Abrahantes helps with the boot.
Lee hurries to stomp away on Komander’s legs! Lee punches away on the foot, YANKS the boot off, and EJ grabs it to mockingly show it off! Lee stomps away on the ankle more, then he goes up! FROG SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Komander survives but Lee hauls him right up! AOI SHODOU!! Cover, TWO!?! Komander survives and #LEE-J doesn’t understand! The fans rally as hard as they can for Komander as he crawls to a corner. Lee hauls Komander up to the top rope, climbs up after him, but Komander fires body shots! Komander SHOVES Lee down, and Lee is in the drop zone! Komander rises up, but EJ drags Lee to safety!
The fans boo, but Komander says bet! SUPER CROSSBODY! Komander takes down LEE-J, grabs his boot back, and he throws the boot at EJ! The fans are thunderous and Komander drags Lee up. Komander puts Lee in, hurries back up the corner, and the fans rally as hard as they can! Komander tightrope walks, and CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, KOMANDER WINS!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)
Even with all that damage done by Big Shotty, Komander shows the grit of a champion and pulls out the victory! Will he still find ways to win, no matter the odds?
Red Velvet speaks.
When it comes to her by-any-means-necessary way of winning, The Chef knows we all want to know “Why? Why? I have been on a roll lately. The hottest of my career. Why? Why? I’m starting to get real tired of the same questions. Why? I’m just getting started.” When and where will Red Velvet serve up another L fresh from the kitchen?
Six Man Tag: Sammy Guevara, Fuego & Dark Panther VS Hechicero, Barbaro Cavernario & Soberano Jr!
Lucha night comes to an end with a huge crossover between ROH and CMLL! And it will be lucha rules! That means if the legal man falls out of the ring, someone can jump in and take their place! Will the Spanish God be able to help The Flame of Mexico and El Latigo Lagunero win big in Texas? Or will the Alchemist, El Australopithecus Apestosus y The Luxury of Lucha prove they are primero del mundo?
Wait, MXM appears on stage to taunt Sammy with his ROH World Tag Team title belt. Sammy ignores them while the trios sort out. But then Hechicero DROPKICKS Sammy out! Panther CLOBBERS Hechi, Barbaro BOOTS Hechi, but Fuego DROPKICKS Barbaro! Soberano runs up but Fuego goes Matrix! Fuego bridges, then stands back up to dance! Fuego and Soberano RAM shoulders, go again, and then Fuego runs. Soberano follows, pops Fuego up and over, but Fuego ARM-DRAGS Soberano! Barbaro y Hechi run in, Fuego dodges them to then handspring and DOUBLE ARM-DRAG! The fans fire up, Panther & Sammy join in!
The trio builds speed, but Hechi’s team CLOBBERS them all! Hechi stomps Sammy, Soberano stomps Panther and Barbaro stomps Fuego. Fuego and Panther fall out so Soberano is the legal man. Hechi CHOKES Sammy, Soberano BITES Sammy’s foot! The fans rally and duel, and Hechi drags Sammy around. Hechi puts Sammy’s leg through the ropes, Soberano CHOKES Sammy while Hechi pulls on the leg, and Barbaro stands on the other leg! The ref reprimands and counts, Hechi YANKS the leg as he lets off, and Soberano looms over Sammy. Soberano y Barbaro taunt Sammy’s team by holding Sammy’s arms out to them.
Soberano y Barbaro double wrench then DOUBLE KICK! Hechi drags Sammy up to rain fists! The ref counts, Hechi lets off, and Soberano stomps Sammy in the corner. The fans boo but Soberano drags Sammy up to GAMANGIRI! Sammy drops down, Soberano hooks his arms and digs a knee into Sammy’s back. Sammy endures, even as Hechi taunts him. The fans rally, Sammy fights up, but Hechi blocks the kick so he and Soberano can mug Sammy! They have Sammy on the ropes and hold his legs open! Barbaro runs up and KICKS the hamstring! MXM laugh while the fans are torn. Barbaro taunts Fuego, then BLASTS him and Panther!
Hechi twists Sammy’s arm, stands him up to wrench, and Soberano wrenches the other arm. They lift Sammy up, Barbaro runs, PENDULUM BOMB! Then TRIPLE BASEMENT DROPKICK!

It’s a MEXICAN SURFBOARD, but then Soberano gets a boost from Barbaro, GUILLOTINE LEG DROP!!
The fans fire up and Soberano covers, ONE because Soberano lets off?! Soberano seems to be demanding more respect from the ref, but then Fuego bails out and Panther storms in! Soberano stops Panther in his tracks by kneeling and offering a handshake. Panther kicks, Soberano blocks it, and Barbaro KICKS Panther’s leg! Barbaro DECKS Panther, Hechi brings Panther back up, and they double whip. Double drop toehold and now Hechi hooks Panther up! We now get a ROMERO SPECIAL, and then Soberano y Barbaro run, DOUBLE BULLDOG!! Hechi and team soak up the cheers and jeers from Houston!
Barbaro drags Panther up, DECKS him again, then they all soak up the heat. Hechi fires HEADBUTT after HEADBUTT, then fast hands! Hechi DECKS Panther, then puts him in a corner. Soberano DROPKICKS Panther down, then he and Barbaro double whip corner to corner. Hechi sends Soberano in but Panther dodges! Panther dodges Hechi, scoops Barbaro for a BACKBREAKER, then scoops Hechi for a BACKBREAKER! Soberano gets a BACKBREAKER! Panther BLASTS Barbaro out, then DIVES into him! The fans fire up, MXM likes what they see, and it’s Sammy that steps in!

They go around and around and around, into the cover! Team Hechi wins!!
Winners: Hechicero, Barbaro Cavernario & Soberano Jr, by pinfall
Give an assist to MXM as they celebrate their part to play in this victory. They even get Hechicero to touch fingertips with him! But then they aim at Sammy! Only for Fuego y Panther to get back in! MXM flips the belt around to swing on them! Fuego y Panther dodge, and they DOUBLE DROPKICK MXM out! The fans cheer, but Sammy, Fuego & Panther grab Mansoor! Mansoor says save yourself! He lets the belt go, Sammy has Mansoor in the torture rack! GO TO HOSPITAL!! Mason shouts, “NOOO~!” but he keeps the title belt away from Sammy. Will Sammy & Dustin just have to take the fight to MXM to get their stolen property back?
My Thoughts:
A very good ROH clocking in at an hour and 21 minutes, it feels like they’ve almost got this mastered for a good cable TV runtime. Though at the same time, we still had filler in Gates of Agony squashing Exodus & Josiah, and then both women’s matches were fairly quick. Billie squashing Hyan was in part to serve story as we did see Athena tell Billie to take things seriously, and then Billie takes her frustrations out on Hyan. Rachael VS Abadon could’ve been a little longer to build them both up in the standings, but Abadon winning makes sense as Abadon’s gotten closer to titles than Rachael has. And good promo from Velvet, but I’m not sure why we’re waiting so long to get to her and Leyla’s rematch.
Additionally, while that 12 Man Tag was some fun, just smashing together multiple teams for that was bordering on filler. Good to see The Von Erichs back given ROH was in Texas. And between The Von Erichs being in Texas and Sterling being introduced as one of the competitors, it was a given The Von Erichs and their team would win. Though it did work that The Outrunners got the finish, they’re the team riding high right now. I will say it’s good that “The Frat House” is a faction, but like, can’t the name have just be The Fraternity? Or like, Greek letters that make a fraternity name, but also is a funny pun when you boil it down to letters.
But of course, great stuff throughout the night involving luchadores. Fuego Del Sol VS Yuta was a very good opening match, but I figured Yuta would win that. Him going the extra mile with that steel chain was rather vicious, I feel like Fuego should want payback, teaming with some other AEW wrestlers who have beef with the Death Riders. Komander VS Lee was a very good ROH TV Championship match, but given this wasn’t the main event, I figured Komander would retain. Maybe EJ gets his shot next?
And then a very good Six Man main event. The lucha rules made it constant motion because there was no need for tags, and apparently the ref didn’t need to count when Hechi’s team was in there together. MXM getting involved makes sense, as they’re still not happy just possessing the tag title. They screwed Sammy over, Hechi’s team wins, but then Sammy’s side stands tall over MXM. I would think we do get Sons of Texas VS MXM one more time, who knows how that goes, but it’ll be a lot of fun either way.
