Apollo Crews VS Giovanni Vinci!
One star returned to NXT just as another started to rise. Will Apollo see an outcome that is in his favor? Or will it be another vittoria (victory) for #VeniVidiVinci?

Give a huge assist to Xyon Quinn getting after Apollo over their war of words! Apollo didn’t see any of that coming, but will he see just how to get even with “The Perfect Superstar?”
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?

Stacks headlocks, Edris powers out but Stacks gets around to waistlock. Edris switches, Stacks elbows out and runs, but Edris jumps over, drops down and DROPKICKS Stacks down!

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.

Backstage interview with Kendal Grey.
Chuey Martinez sits down with Grappler Grey, and asks how one growing up in Las Vegas found pro-wrestling. Kendal says her older brother was doing jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, other martial arts, and she joined in and fell in love. Then in high school, there was no girl’s wrestling team, only boy’s. Her dad said she should try out for the boy’s team, and she thought he was joking. He was serious, so she gave it a try. She made the team, was on Varsity, became one of the first females to win in the state of Nevada to win a tournament. She loved contact sports, it just felt right. And we know she even made Team USA for the Olympics.
Chuey brings up tonight’s intense Fatal 4 Way main event. What would it mean to be the Face of Evolve? Kendal says she knows she’s gonna be the Face of Evolve. Before coming to the WWE, she was already a champion. She is a three-time undefeated NCAA champion. That will also be her plan here in Evolve: be undefeated. She’s on a winning streak and she looks to keep it going. This Fatal 4 is just a stepping stone. Chuey believes that. He thanks Kendal for the talk, and says it’ll be a good one.
Ice Williams is in the VIP Lounge.
You could say he’s chilling while he watches tonight’s opening match.
Trill London VS Harlem Lewis!
The man who’s “too weird to be normal and too cool to care” didn’t have the best first match in Evolve, getting clobbered by Keanu Carver. But will he make up for that on the Evolve before WrestleMania? Or will he have another rough night as he runs into Harlem?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Harlem powers Trill right to a corner, and he smothers Trill while the ref counts. Harlem lets off, to then body blow! Harlem whips corner to corner but Trill reverses to break free and DROPKICK! The fans fire up, Trill whips, but Harlem reverses. Trill goes up, but Harlem catches him to a GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans boo but Harlem pushes Trill around. Harlem drags Trill up but Trill fires body shots! Harlem CLUBS Trill, whips him corner to corner hard, and then gets in Trill’s face to talk trash. The fans boo while Harlem has Trill on the apron. Trill ROCKS Harlem!
Trill aims, and he SLINGSHOT SHOTGUNS! Even Ice is shocked to see that! The fans fire up as Trill goes to the apron. Trill climbs a corner, Harlem rises, and Trill flies, but into a SUPERMAN PUNCH! Harlem hits his antiair, then he drags Trill up! Suplex and BOOMSLANG!! Cover, Harlem wins!
Winner: Harlem Lewis, by pinfall
Trill tried, but he couldn’t get past this behemoth any better than he could Keanu. Harlem is keeping pace with Keanu, and Chuey is here to interview Harlem. Harlem’s on a win streak, just like Keanu. Harlem says the craziest thing about all this, is that he’s getting paid to do this! As for Keanu, Harlem wants his faceoff! Tell Stevie Turner to make it happen! Wait, Gallus storms out here? Joseph, Markus & Wolfie are ready for a fight, but refs and other Evolve superstars keep Harlem from going after them. The fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” but Gallus will just have to settle for their opponents here tonight.
Six Man Tag: Jordan Oasis, Jack Cartwheel & Cappuccino Jones VS Gallus!
The Nomad felt the Iron King’s iron fist and it knocked him out for the night. But the men who helped Oasis to the back are here to help him take on the whole firm! Will Oasis, Cartwheel & Cappuccino get some payback tonight? Or will it still be Gallus Boys On Top?
The trios sort out and Joe starts against Jack. They circle, feel things out, and the fans rally behind “Cartwheel! Cartwheel!” The two tie up, Joe whips Jack, but Jack cartwheels! The fans cheer, Joe runs up, and he RAMS Jack to a corner! Joe TOSSES Jack, but Jack cartwheels! The fans cheer again, Jack runs up, but Joe blocks his shot to ROCK Jack! But then Jack cartwheels through, only for Joe to SHOTGUN him down! The fans fire up, Joe tags Wolfgang, and they mug Jack. Wolfgang suplexes, Jack slips free, hot tag to Cappuccino! Jones fires forearms on Wolfgang, then haymakers! Jones runs, springboards, but Wolfgang catches him!
Wolfgang pops Jones up, but Jones slips free, only for Wolfgang to UPPERCUT him! Wolfgang drags Jones up, tags Mark in, and Mark fires forearms. Jones fires back, Mark UPPERCUTS, but Oasis tags in! The fans fire up as Oasis storms up to throw forearms with Mark! They go back and forth, but then Oasis fires a flurry! Mark gets around, Oasis bucks the O’Conner, but Mark UPPERCUTS him down! Tag to Joe, the Coffey Brothers mug Oasis, and Joe eggs Oasis on. The forearms continue as Oasis gets the brother he wanted! Oasis fires a flurry, but then Joe fires body shots! Oasis avoids the haymaker to ROCK Joe!
The fans fire up as Joe staggers back! Mark & Wolfgang storm in, Oasis dodges then, Cappuccino & Cartwheel DOUBLE MISSLE DROPKICK Gallus! The fans fire up as Cappuccino & Cartwheel then DOUBLE DROPKICK Mark & Wolfgang out of the ring! Then they build speed, Cappuccino FLIES onto Mark while Cartwheel FOSBURY FLOPS onto Wolfgang! The fans fire up more and Oasis tells Joe, “That’s right! You wanted to knock me out? You wanted a fight? This is what you’re gonna get! A fight!” Oasis rains down fists, and Evolve goes to break.
Evolve returns and Jack brings Joe up. Jack ROCKS Joe, CHOPS Joe, and then shoves Joe. Joe shoves back and pops Jack up for an UPPERCUT! Hot tag to Mark and he runs up to LARIAT Jack! And CLOBBER him! Oasis is in but Mark CHOPS him down! Jones runs in but Mark suplexes him away! The fans fire up and Mark back suplexes Jack! Jack lands out, then cartwheels through, for the WHIRLY DIRLY! Wolfgang tags in, and he CLOBBERS Jack! Jones is up but Wolfgang kicks him low! Wolfgang then reels Jones in and lifts, POWERÂ DRIVER! The fans fire up and then Jack mule kicks! Wolfgang UPPERCUTS!
Jack comes back, to tilt-o-whirl FLYING DDT! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Jack and Wolfgang crawl, hot tags to Joe and Oasis! The fans fire up as Oasis dodges Joe to BLAST Mark! Joe runs up, blocks a boot, but not the KNEE! Oasis LARIATS Joe, ELBOWS him down, then waits on Joe to get back up. Oasis blocks a kick, slips through, and lifts Joe for a BACKBREAKER! Oasis puts Joe on the ropes, calls his shot, BLACKOUT CANNONBALL! The fans fire up as Oasis lands on his feet on the apron! Oasis hurries back in and covers, TWO! The fans fire up as Oasis wrenches Joe, but Joe ROCKS him!
Tag to Wolfgang and he runs up, RAMPAGE SPEAR! Then a run and SENTON! Tag to Mark, but here come Cartwheel & Cappuccino! Wolfgang gives them a DOUBLE RAMPAGE! Mark tags Joe, and the Coffey Brothers have Oasis for the BLUE HAMMER, and ALL THE BEST FOR THE BELLS!! Cover, Gallus wins!
Winners: Gallus, by pinfall
Oasis wanted his payback, but it was just another heavy shot from the Iron King! Will nothing stop Gallus from making Evolve their kingdom?
Backstage interview with Chantel Monroe.
Chuey now sits down with the Debutante, and says it is not every day he sits down with world class athletes. How does one go from gymnastics at Auburn to WWE Evolve? She was scouted at the nationals, and at first she didn’t think this was for her. She’s admittedly prissy and girly, but she does like to perform, does like to dress up, loves to connect with the audience. It was the theatrics of pro-wrestling that intrigued her. It wasn’t that different from gymnastics, so she thought this could be a calling. Chuey says Chantel is surely prepared for all of this from gymnastics and Chantel agrees.
Gymnastics is not only physical but 90% mental. That prepared her for so much in this life, and especially this moment. Then what does it mean to hear that she could be the Face of Evolve? That means everything to her. She knows she has the spark, she knows she’s “that girl,” and that she can be the Face of Evolve. Chuey brings up the Fatal 4 Way, how is she preparing? Just training every day, going for it, no doubting. She is That Girl in every way. Chuey says there you have it! Will Chantel’s confidence be unstoppable tonight?
Backstage interview with Kali Armstrong.
Chuey now sits down with the Pride of Inglewood, and asks that when he says that, what does it mean to represent Inglewood, California? Kali says Inglewood is a city of champions. The fact she is born and raised there, you know she’s winning at something. Chuey says she is indeed a superstar, 100%. She says she appreciates that. If he were to tell her years ago that she’d be here, what would her response be? She says if this was even five years ago, she’d believe you. Thinks sound crazy, but the type of person she is, if it doesn’t sound crazy, it ain’t big enough. Once she locks in, once she puts her mind to it, it’s a wrap.
Then how does one prepare for a Fatal 4? With this match, everyone is physically able to do it. What decides the match is who is mentally toughest, because they’re going to war. This is all mental, and we’ll see who can sustain at the end of this. And she promises, it’ll be Kali Armstrong. Will there be a Kali Connection to cap off Evolve?
Luca Crusifino steps into the VIP Lounge.
Ice is still chilling with drinks, but he’ll have to make room on the one couch now that The Consigliere is here. Is Luca checking in on the emotional investment he’s put into this next match?
Oro Mensah VS Javier Bernal!
It’s a tale of two records. Where one is on the rise, the other is struggling to even stay afloat. Will Oro become the Main Man of Evolve? Or can Big Body Javi finally get on the board?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Oro waistlocks and wrangles Javi to the mat. Javi fights up, switches, but Oro pries at the hold. Oro wrenches free, wristlocks, but Javi rolls, steps over, and wrenches to wristlock back. The fans rally and duel as Oro fights up. Javi twists the wrist, Oro rolls, then UP KICKS! Oro CHOPS, the fans “WOO~” and then Javi CHOPS! Oro CHOPS again, dodges Javi’s boot, then runs up. Javi dodges, goes up and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! The fans cheer as Javi tilt-o-whirl RANAS, then DROPKICKS! Javi fires up and the fans are behind him! Javi runs up to whip, but Oro blocks!
Oro breaks free, SOBATS, and then clinches for an EXPLODER! Javi flounders and writhes while the fans fire up again. Oro stomps Javi around, drags Javi up and CHOPS! The fans duel, “ORO!” “JAVI!” as Oro snapmares and KICKS Javi in the back! Cover, TWO! Oro is annoyed but he stalks Javi. Javi fires body shot after body shot, then a haymaker! Oro STEP PUNCHES and Javi goes down! Oro eggs Javi on, “Who are you?” Javi gets up to fire fast hands from all sides! Javi underhooks to BUTTERFLY- NO, Oro slips free to LARIAT! Oro then reels Javi in, but Javi BACKDROPS free! Both men are down and the fans fire up!
Javi goes to the apron, the fans rally behind him, and he ROCKS Oro! Javi has Oro in the ropes to SUPERKICK! Oro staggers, Javi climbs, and Javi CROSSBODIES! Javi fires up more and he rallies with LARIAT after LARIAT! Then a KNEE SMASH! But Oro kicks a leg out! Javi dodges the step punch to SUPERKICK again! Oro wobbles and Javi roars! RUNNING DDT! Cover, TWO!! Oro survives that onslaught and both Luca and Ice are impressed. “This is Awesome!” as Oro and Javi rise. Javi waistlocks to full nelson, but Oro runs to the corner! Javi hits buckles, but he comes back, only for Oro to BOOT him!
Oro reels Javi in for a TORNADO HOTSHOT! Then a springboard, RIDER KICK! Both men are down again and Javi flounders away. The fans rally while Javi goes back to the apron. Oro runs up, but Javi ROCKS him first! Oro staggers, Javi climbs again, but Oro TIGER WALL KICKS! Javi falls off the corner, Oro hooks him up, ripcord and CALL OF AUTUMN! Cover, Oro wins!
Winner: Oro Mensah, by pinfall
Another big win for the Main Man, and another big loss for Big Body Javi. Will Oro move up and become the Face of Evolve? What must Javi do to have his breakthrough?
Backstage interview with Brinley Reece.
Chuey sits down with the fourth and final part of tonight’s main event in #Binergy. If he told Brin six or seven years ago that she’d be a pro-wrestler, what would her reaction be? Brin is pretty sure she would not believe him. She wakes up every morning, open to whatever possibilities and opportunities present themselves, and well, here she is. Let’s talk about the Fatal 4 Way. Imagine being the Face of Evolve. Brin says every woman here wants that same thing. She will go in there and prove that she’s the Face of Evolve. The Brin Active Mindset is also a confident one, and Chuey is sure the main event is gonna be bananas!
Stevie Turner speaks.
The Evolve General Manager introduces herself, and then says as a result of what happened last week, she has scheduled quite the line up for next week. We will have Timothy Thatcher VS Bryce Donovan, and Jackson Drake VS Sean Legacy! Plus, “The Sunshine,” Carlee Bright returns to action in her first Evolve singles match. It’ll be a big night, but who proves themselves to be the more evolved?
Carlee Bright is in the VIP Lounge!
The gentlemen excuse themselves so that the cheery cheerleader turned wrestler can have the lounge all to herself. Will her moral support help her friend, Kendal Grey, win big tonight?
Fatal 4 Way: Kali Armstrong VS Kendal Grey VS Brinley Reece VS Chantel Monroe!
We heard from all four women tonight, and naturally, they’re all confident and determined to win. But only one can be the Alpha Female, who wins to prove themselves worthy of the title, “Face of Evolve?”
The big fight introductions are given, and the bell rings. The fans rally as the four watch each other. Kali dares someone to make a move, then she shoves Kendal. Kendal shoves back, then mule kicks! Brin adds a forearm, then Chantel adds a forearm! Brin adds another, then Kendal UPPERCUTS! Brin HEADBUTTS Kali, then she and Kendal dodge so Chantel can SUPERKICK Kali! Brin & Kendal TOSS Kali and the fans fire up! Brin says kiss this, Kendal mocks “Too Strong Armstrong” by flexing. Now they and Chantel feel things out. They triple knuckle lock, but then Chantel kicks Kendal! Chantel kicks Brin and headlocks.
Brin powers out but Chantel runs Kendal over! Chantel flexes but Brin rolls her up! Kendal sunset flips Brin, but Chantel ghost pins Kendal! TWO and Kendal has the cradle! But then Brin jackknife bridges Kendal! Kali breaks that and the fans fire up! Kali fires off on Brin in the corner, then storms over to Chantel. The fans chant, “This is Wrestling!” as Kali ROCKS Chantel, then ROCKS Kendal! Kali ROCKS Chantel again, then ROCKS Kendal again! kali sends Kendal into Brin, and RAMS them both in the corner! Kali then ROCKS Chantel and whips her into the others! Kali fires up, runs up, and TRIPLE RAMS!
The fans fire up with Kali while all three opponents flounder on the mat. Kali storms up on Kendal, Chantel finds Brin, but Brin and Kendal each get a cradle! TWO! Brin goes back for Chantel but Chantel gives her a JAWBREAKER! Kendal has Kali and whips, but Kali reverses! Kali then blows past Kendal, only for Chantel to HIP TOSS Kendal! Cover, Kali breaks it! Kali says not on her watch, and she TOSSES Chantel! Brin TOSSES Kendal! Brin and Kali circle now, then tie up. Brin waistlocks, wrenches, whips, but Kali reverses. Kali runs up, ROCKS Brin, then hoists her up top! Kali tucks Brin in, but Brin hits a TORNADO SNAP SUPLEX!
The fans fire up, Brin hurries to cover, TWO! Brin clamps onto Kali with a chinlock, and adds body scissors! It’s turning into a REAR NAKED CHOKE! Kali endures, but Chantel wraps a HEADSCISSOR SQUEEZE on Brin! The fans fire up as Kali pries at the legs! Brin endures Chantel’s squeeze, but Kendal puts a HEADSCISSOR SQUEEZE on Chantel! The fans fire up for this chain of submissions, but Kali pries free! The fans cheer on “EVOLVE! EVOLVE!” as Kali stomps Kendal! Kendal lets Chantel free but Chantel still holds onto Brin. Kali grabs Brin’s legs, and she turns Brin and Chantel over, BOSTON CRAB!
Brin’s enduring double submissions now, but then Kendal jumps onto Kali’s back for a SLEEPER! The fans fire up as Kali flails! Kali RAMS Kendal into a corner, but Kendal holds on! Kali RAMS Kendal into buckles again and gets free! Brin pushes back on Chantel for a cover, TWO! Brin is free, and she stops Chantel going for her leg to hook the arms! But Chantel fights the backslide, so the two end up sitting down. Kali storms up to push them both over, double cover! TWO! Kali DOUBLE LARIATS! The fans fire up as Kali is back on Kendal! Kali ROCKS Kendal, then she runs, only for Brin & Chantel to trip her up!
The fans fire up as Brin & Chantel drag Kali outside, and the three start brawling! Kendal goes up top to SUPER CROSSBODY! Direct hit on everyone and the fans fire up with Kendal! Kendal shouts, “I’m the face of the company!” and Evolve goes to break.
Evolve returns as Kendal has Kali down for a cover, TWO! The fans rally and Kendal goes up the corner. But Kali runs up to ROCK her first! Kali climbs, Kendal fires a forearm, and then Chantel adds on! Chantel CLUBS Kali, climbs up to go after Kendal, but Brin gets under them all! The fans fire up for Evolve’s first TOWER OF DOOM!! Brin has her pick, and she runs up to ROCK Kali! Then she ROCKS Chantel! Then she CLOBBERS Kali, CLOBBERS Chantel, and the fans fire up! Brin dodges, handsprings and LARIATS! Brin whips Chantel, hoists her up, SPINEBUSTER! Brin then fireman’s carries Kali!
Chantel drags Kali down to then THROW Brin by her hair! Chantel runs, NECK SNAPPER! HANDSPRING KNEE DROP! Cover, Kendal YANKS Chantel away! But Chantel ENZIGIRIS! Kendal flounders away, Chantel gives Kali a CODE BREAKER! Chantel runs, SHOOTING STAR! Cover, Kendal AND Brin break it! The fans declare, “This is Awesome!” as all for women are down! The four crawl around, taking a corner each. Brin and Kendal then go after each other, and they trade forearms and haymakers! Kendal then blocks to ROCK, CHOP, CHOP, CHOP! Kendal whips, ELBOWS, and roars! Then she LARIATS Kali!
Chantel is back, Kendal hits the fireman’s takeover! Then a fireman’s takeover for Kali! And one for Brin! Kendal dodges Chantel, then OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY SUPLEXES! The fans fire up, Carlee cheers Kendal on, and Kendal says this is why she’s the best on Evolve! Brin storms up, but into an ARMBAR TAKEDOWN!! Brin endures, clasps hands to fight the hold, but Kendal pries it apart! But Kali SPLASHES DOWN! The fans are torn, but Kali drags Kendal up. Kali ROCKS Kendal, whips her to a corner, but Kendal goes up, up, CROSSBODY, but into a POWERSLAM! Kali covers, Brin breaks it!
Brin drags Kali up to TOSS her out! Brin hurries to cover Kendal, with feet on the ropes!? The ref sees that and says no can do! Brin apologizes, she didn’t even realize she did it! Oh, sure. But then Chantel O’Conner Rolls Brin, with tights! TWO and Brin has the roll, but the KALI CONNECTION CLOBBERS Brin!! Kali hurries to whip Chantel and pop her up, POWERSLAM!! Cover, KALI WINS!
Winner: Kali Armstrong, by pinfall
Kendal is stunned, but Kali did say herself that the mental game was the key. Kali knew when to strike and that’s why she won the biggest main event in Evolve history so far. Stevie Turner is on stage to applaud, is Kali going to be primed for a title opportunity?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of Evolve, especially with that main event. Very good promos from each of the four participants, though I was expecting a little more from Brinley Reece. Brin’s been in WWE the longest with a solid start on NXT, and clearly there’s a good story going with her identity crisis of “Is she Face? Is she Heel?” And as Fatal 4 Ways go, that was great stuff, something already on the level of NXT or maybe even main roster. Kali winning out makes sense, though, she has been leading the way as perhaps the most complete in-ring and on-mic talent of Evolve. Whatever title match is made, you can bet Kali is part of it.
Very good stuff on the men’s side of things, too, though poor Trill London keeps facing big meaty men and getting beat. Harlem Lewis and Keanu Carver are quite truly top contenders to the men’s title, but I really appreciate a lot of the different intertwining stories. The Gallus boys wanted after Harlem, and then they got a great match out of Oasis, Cartwheel & Cappuccino. Gallus hasn’t had much to go on in a long time, here’s hoping they’re considered for like, Evolve Tag Team Champions or something. Joe Coffey can also get in on the Evolve Championship story, but I don’t know he wins it. Joe has found himself in a really odd place where he’s a great talent, but just can’t get titles.
Oro VS Javi was really good, too, and a great win for Oro. I do appreciate Luca is keeping an eye on Javi, and I could see a partnership being formed, with Luca helping Javi bring out the best in himself. They might even join the tag division, but I suppose a lot of it could depend on the D’Angelo Family story on NXT. Stacks starting to be rebellious could change the dynamic of the group, but that remains to be seen at Stand & Deliver when the D’Angelos have their Six Man Tag against Dark State.
My Score: 8.8/10

Boston fires up as their C E O is here, one match away from going Double or Nothing for the Owen Hart Cup. But will #FourBeltsMone get a win over the Forever ROH Women’s Champion? Or will Athena prove she is every bit the Fallon Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, and THE most dominant women’s champion in all of wrestling today?
The bell rings and the fans are strongly behind “C E O! C E O!” Mone. Mone and Athena stare down, slowly circle, and hear the fans are already losing their minds for this veritable dream match.

Athena rises up, brings Mone around to SMACK her off the apron, and then stalks after her as she goes to railing. Athena CHOPS Mone, the fans fire up, and Mone is sputtering as she staggers away.

Backstage interview with Hangman Page.
Renee Paquette is with the Cowboy, and says she will try this question again from last week. Coming up in mere moments, he faces the Wild Card in the Owen Hart Cup. How has he prepared for this match? Hangman says it is the Wild Card, how can he- The Elite interrupts. The Young Bucks step in and say hey, been a minute. In fact, it was last year’s Blood & Guts when Hangman walked out on them and cost them the entire match. But hey, Matt knows Hangman’s about to apologize, but they’ve already forgiven him, it’s all good. Nick says my God in Heaven, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, does Hangman look good!
And Nick knows that Hangman is happy now, because the Bucks cost Swerve the world title like Hangman wanted. It’s like they’re best friends again. This is great. Now, one more thing. This whole issue Hangman has with Moxley and the Death Riders? Yeah, they can fix that. They’ll patch things up. Because between you and them, the Death Riders are crazy. But The Elite are sure they can get the Death Riders on their side. So here’s what Hangman is gonna do. Hangman is gonna win The Owen, he’ll bring the world title back to The Elite, let The Bucks handle the rest. You got this, Hanger! Go get ’em, champ!
Nick & Matt walk out, but Okada hangs back long enough to ask Hangman, “Why you always angry? Smile! Like this!” Okada has a big goofy grin, Hangman just heads out. Okada says, “B*tch!” Hangman storms back in and Okada apologizes. Just smile. Hangman leaves again, and Okada rolls his eyes. Will the Rainmaker learn not to push Hangman’s buttons if he knows what’s good for him?

Hangman will be facing Kyle Fletcher in the semifinals, and speaking of, “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!” The Protostar makes his presence known, Don Callis by his side. The Don Callis Family wants to dominate Double or Nothing, but Hangman dares Kyle to do something about it now. Callis moves aside, he still has to be here for Konosuke Takeshita’s match later.

The fans tell Callis off, but this all lets Kyle drag Hangman up. Suplex and BRAINBUSTER!! Will this be how it goes in the eventual Owen Hart Cup semifinal match? Or will the Aussie Arrow be shot down by a Buckshot?
The Patriarchy speaks.
Specifically, Nick Wayne says, “The Patriarchy is a hierarchy. And who’s at the top? The father. So when the father disappears, either the whole structure collapses on itself, or someone needs to-” Kip Sabian notices someone off screen, and he taps Nick on the shoulder. Nick asks what’s going on, then looks over. It’s CHRISTIAN CAGE! Christian walks over and says, “Daddy’s home, Nick. It’s been quite a month for you, hasn’t it? And I’ve been watching from afar, and I couldn’t happen to notice one of those weeks, you said you knew the reason why I executed the contract at Revolution and didn’t stick to the plan. But you wanted to say it to my face. Well, say it.”
Nick says the reason Christian didn’t stick to the plan is because he wouldn’t be able to live with himself if Cope became AEW World Champion before Christian did. Oh, is that what Nick thinks? Well, that’s what Nick thinks, so it isn’t a fact, it’s just an assumption. And to assume makes an ass out of you and me. But what is fact is, the last time they saw each other face to face, Nick had a fire lit under him. Christian liked that. Make no mistake, Christian gave Nick this month to find himself. To find the confidence to keep that flame growing. Christian was impressed with what Nick did while Christian was away.
So impressed, in fact, that Christian got Nick something. It has been a lifelong dream for Nick to wrestle for NJPW, in the Best of the Super Juniors tournament. So Christian took it upon himself to procure a spot for Nick in that tournament. Now, the best way to get ready for a tournament like BOSJ, Nick, is to keep your momentum going. That is what they will do. Christian will keep Nick very busy until it is time to head for Japan. That starts tomorrow night, Collision: Spring Breakthru, here in Boston. Nick will face one of the best super juniors in the world, Komander, for his ROH World Television Championship.
Christian knows Nick will go out there, win that match, and do it by himself. Nick’s gonna that title home to The Patriarchy, isn’t he? Because Christian knows his baby boy wouldn’t intentionally let his father down, now would he? Christian pats Nick on the cheek, to then basically SLAP him! Nick is fuming, Mother Shayna calms him down, but Christian has her and Kip follow him out. The Patriarchy’s Prodigy has that fire inside, but will that flame blaze a trail to the top of the wrestling world? Or is it going to burn him up inside?
FTR has been suspended!
Given their actions last week, both threatening Tony Schiavone & Nigel McGuinness, as well as going too far with Matthew Menard, Angelo Parker and Daniel Garcia, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler have been suspended for one week, and their paychecks for this week have also been docked as a fine. Will this time off help FTR realize where they’ve gone wrong?
AEW World Tag Team Championships: Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin VS The Gates of Agony!
While the All Mighty & Standard of Excellence neither want nor need Maxwell Jacob Friedman, they do need to defend the titles. And while the Hurt Syndicate hurts people, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona are pretty sure they break people. Will the Gates of Agony once again be golden? Or will the Gates be ripped right off the hinges?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really brings the pain!

The fans fire up as Lashley RAMS Kaun again and again! Lashley turns Kaun, Kaun slips free and CHOPS! Kaun runs, but Lashley blows past him, then clinches for a FLATLINER! The fans sing, “We Hurt~ People!” as Lashley suplexes high and hard!
The fans fire up for Lashley as he goes corner to corner, but Kaun ELBOWS him away! Lashley LARIATS Kaun up and out! Lashley goes out to then RAM Kaun into railing! Lashley leaves Kaun behind while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Lashley tags Shelton, Shelton drags Kaun up to RAM him into the apron! And then the railing! Then back to the apron! Then back to the railing! Shelton throws Kaun into the ring, storms up and brings Kaun around, scop and TOSS! Shelton paces around Kaun, drags him up, and then TOSSES him back out! Tag to Lashley and Lashley storms over to Kaun. The fans fire up as Lashley THROWS Kaun over the desk! Kaun takes the desk hood with him, and MVP talks trash while Kaun’s on the floor. Lashley returns to drag Kaun up and around, just to THRWO him into railing! Kaun slumps down and Lashley revels in the cheers.
Lashley drags Kaun back up, puts him back in the ring, and Lashley stalks Kaun. Lashley drags Kaun up, but Kaun fires forearms! Kaun CHOPS, but Lashley KNEES low! Lashley whips Kaun to a corner, but Kaun goes up, only to get caught! OKLAHOMA STAMPEDE! Cover, ONE!!

Kaun fires a forearm, Shelton fires back, and repeat! Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as Kaun fires a flurry! Shelton ROCKS him with just one!
Shelton drags Kaun up, fires a flurry of his own, and then whips Kaun to ropes. Kaun ducks ‘n’ dodges, then Shelton dodges, DOUBLE LARIATS collide! The fans fire up while both men are down! Shelton and Kaun crawl, hot tag to Liona! Liona runs in, fires forearms, then whips. Shelton ducks ‘n’ waistlocks, but Liona fires elbows. Liona shoves Shelton, then SAMOAN DROPS on the return! Liona basement SUPERKICKS, then he runs to SENTON! Cover, Lashley breaks it! Lashley bumps Liona off buckles again and again, then shouts to Shelton to get up. But Liona grabs Lashley by the neck! Liona puts Lashley in the corner, and he fires an UPPERCUT!
Liona roars, then fires POINT-BLANK LARIAT again and again! The fans count along, Liona goes to nine, then reels Lashley in, only for Lashley to slip around! HURT LOCK!!

Kaun hauls Shelton back up, fireman’s carries, but Shelton slips free! Shelton waistlocks, Kaun fires elbows, and Kaun runs, but into a SUPERKICK! The fans fire up as Shelton now waits on Kaun to get up. GERMAN SUPLEX!
Shelton stays fired up, he hits another GERMAN SUPLEX! Liona runs in, Shelton DUMPS him out! Liona lands on his feet, talks trash, but Lashley SPEARS Liona down! MVP is fired up, Boston is loving it, and the Hurt Syndicate has Kaun isolated. Shelton runs up to KNEE, then tag to Lashley! SPEAR!! Cover, Hurt Syndicate wins!
Winners: Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall (still AEW World Tag Team Champions)
The Gates of Agony may dominate ROH, but The Hurt Syndicate still runs AEW! And wait, here comes MJF. Lashley is annoyed by this scumbag’s persistence, but the fans cheer as MJF makes his way to the ring. MJF has the mic to tell them to cut his music, and the fans cheer him on. MJF says, “Ladies and gentlemen, enough about how great I am. Although, I am enjoying it, don’t get me wrong. But give it up for the Hurt Syndicate, baby!” The fans cheer, and MVP says see? MJF’s not all bad. The fans sing, “We Hurt~ People!” but MJF says no, Boston is way too white, and they’re not even on the same beat, so just stop.
But here’s the deal: As they know, MJF brings a lot to the table. Montel knows this, Shelton knows this–and he looks great by the way–and well, not to name names, but some of us are slow learners. Lashley gets mad because we know who he means, and MVP asks MJF why he has to do that. MVP gets Lashley to calm down, and MJF apologizes. Did he say a name, though? Boston says no, he didn’t. MJF thanks them for having his back. Now, when MJF talks about the talent he brings to the table, he’s not talking about his own. No, no, because MJF has some talent in the back that is just dying- MVP says MJF just needs to put the cards on the table, he already pissed Lashley off as it is.
MVP says he loves Max and, but get to the point. MJF says he loves Montel, too. But they’re gonna really like this. Bring ’em out! The Hurt Syndicate music plays as some of Boston’s finest ladies make their way out on stage. MJF seems to have piqued the Hurt Syndicate’s interest as these eight ladies make their way to the ring. MJF has the music cut, the ladies have towels to dry the guys down, and MJF says the Hurt Syndicate can have a night on the town with all these lovely ladies. All MJF requests are the three thumbs up for him to join up. The floor is theirs. MVP asks Shelton and Lashley to do this one more time.
MVP still gives his thumbs up. Shelton? Shelton, pay attention! Shelton stops staring at the ladies long enough to say this is all very nice. But uh, he might need a little more time. Boston boos, MJF tells them it’s cool, it’s fine, everybody shut up! But what does Shelton mean more time? They’ve been talking about this for weeks! Shelton says he’s gonna need some time. Shelton… Are you saying you want the watch on MJF’s wrist? Yes, exactly. MJF knew he liked Shelton! Okay, okay, hear him out. MJF will give him this watch. All Shelton needs to do is give the thumbs up. The fans cheer, and Shelton looks between watch and ladies, then holds out his hand.
Shelton smiles, and gives a thumbs u- Uhhh… Lashley is staring Shelton down… So Shelton gives a thumbs down!? Lashley intimidated Shelton into saying no! MJF says c’mon! They must be out their da- mocracy! MJF loves him some democracy! And he respects the power of the vote! Hell, MJF even respects the power of the people! Maybe not these people, but you get his point. Shelton, what MJF thinks is that he’s growing on Shelton. And tell you what. As a token of his appreciation, MJF will still give him the watch. In fact, if Shelton still wants the ladies, he can still have the ladies. The fans cheer that!
And just know that when MJF joins the Hurt Syndicate, there will be plenty more watches ‘n’ women where that came from. MJF steps out, and he says one more thing, “Bob.” MJF respects him, he is the All Mighty, he’s known for being strong. But y’know what MJF’s known for? Getting what he wants. MVP keeps Lashley calm, the fans chant “He’s Our Scumbag!” MJF asks Lashley if he knows why MJF gets what he wants. He’ll tell you why. It’s because he is Maxwell Jacob Friedman, and he’s better than you, and you know it. MJF drops the mic then takes his leave. But if possessions and pleasures won’t tempt Lashley, what must MJF offer to change his mind?
AEW returns and…
Alicia Atout catches The Hurt Syndicate and MJF’s ladies heading out. She congratulates them on the impressive win, but brings up that MJF is very persistent. MVP stops her there, wanting to talk with the guys first. MJF asks MJF’s ladies to give them a second, but not to wander off too far now. Lashley again says he still doesn’t trust MJF. MVP knows, but he says Lashley is having a personal reaction to MJF. This is business. Look at it from the business standpoint. MVP knows MJF can be… Annoying? Yes, annoying, but think businesswise. They can still use MJF to get what they want. So all MVP is asking is for Lashley to ease up.
MVP will give Lashley his word: The moment MJF steps outta line… Well, they’ll save that for later. Right now, can we just have a good night? Shelton asks, “Please?” Lashley says sure thing. Ladies, shall we? Yass~! Lashley, Shelton, MVP and the ladies head out to enjoy the Boston nightlife, but will the All Mighty actually give in to the Devil of AEW?
2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Semifinal Round: Will Ospreay VS Konosuke Takeshita!
Stemming from the Don Callis Family dysfunction and fallout, these two are 1-1 from their instant classics last year. Aerial Assassin once again battles The Alpha, who takes the tiebreaker to go Double or Nothing?
Callis of course joins commentary for this one, but is annoyed that there’s another Callis cosplayer. The bell rings and the fans fire up behind Ospreay. The fans lose their minds already as Ospreay and Konosuke stare down. The two slowly circle, the fans fire up more, and the two tie up. Konosuke waistlocks, Ospreay switches, but Konosuke wrenches out. Ospreay rolls and gets free, and Konosuke applauds. The two reset, feel things out, knuckle lock, and then go shoulder to shoulder. Ospreay rolls back, spins, and wrangles Konosuke with a top wristlock. Konosuke fights up, trips Ospreay and has a toehold.
Ospreay uses his free leg to drag Konosuke down. Konosuke clasps hands to fight the armbar, but his shoulders are down so it’s a cover. TWO as Konosuke sits up, and he works to stack Ospreay. ONE as Ospreay pushes Konosuke back down. Konosuke rolls, traps Ospreay’s legs with his own, then waistlocks. Konosuke shifts to get a half nelson, and he turns Ospreay over to a lateral press, ONE! The two stand off and the fans tell off Callis. Callis looks over his shoulder at the fans flipping him off while Konosuke and Ospreay go to corners. Callis says he does not appreciate this treatment, he is simply helping “elevate” commentary.
Ospreay and Konosuke tie up, Konosuke powers Ospreay to a corner, but the ref counts. Konosuke lets off, but then winds up! Ospreay avoids the elbow and wags his finger. The fans cheer and Konosuke nods. Ospreay and Konosuke reset, tie up, and Konosuke pulls hair to put Ospreay on the ropes! The ref counts, Konosuke lets go at 4, but then he tries to sneak a headlock, only for Ospreay to turn things around. Ospreay lets off, to CHOP! The fans fire up while Konosuke goes to the corner. The ref has Ospreay hold on, and the fans fire up as Ospreay backs off. Boston sings for “Ospreay~! Ospreay Ospreay Ospreay~!” as Konosuke storms up.
Ospreay and Konosuke tie up again, and Konosuke headlocks, Ospreay powers up but Konosuke holds on tight. Ospreay fights up, fires body shots, then powers out, only for Konosuke to run him over!

Things keep moving, Ospreay arm-drags to have the armlock! The fans fire up for Ospreay while Konosuke fights up. Konosuke pulls hair again, the ref counts, so Konosuke whips Ospreay to ropes. Ospreay KICKS the backdrop away, then runs, but into a POP-UP- RANA!!

Konosuke checks his legs then crawls over to Ospreay. Konosuke drags Ospreay up, whips him hard into railing, then soaks up the cheers and jeers from Boston. The Callis cosplayer cheers Konosuke on while he puts Ospreay in the ring. Cover, TWO! Ospreay’s still in this but Konosuke clamps onto Ospreay with a chinlock. Ospreay endures, fights up, but Konosuke clinches for a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Konosuke then clamps right back on with the chinlock! Ospreay endures again while Konosuke leans on the hold. Ospreay fights up, Spring Breakthru returns to single picture, and the fans rally for Ospreay again.

But Ospreay’s right back up! Only to take another EXPLODER! Cover, TWO!! Ospreay stays in this but Konosuke stays calm. The fans rally up, and they hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” But there’s still a main event to go! Konosuke puts Ospreay in the drop zone, then climbs up the corner. But Ospreay rises to CHOP! Ospreay ROCKS Konosuke, climbs up, but Konosuke trips Ospreay up! Ospreay HOTSHOTS off the top rope, then Konosuke reels him back in!

Both men writhe while the fans lose their minds again! Callis is worried for Konosuke while Ospreay rolls back inside. The ring count is climbing, Konosuke is still down at 7 of 10!

The fans cannot believe it and Callis is furious, but Ospreay escapes with nanoseconds to spare! Ospreay stirs and Konosuke crawls over to him. Konosuke and Ospreay go forehead to forehead, then stand to go forearm for forearm! The fans rally and duel, they sing for “OSPREAY~, OSPREAY OSPREAY OSPREAY!” Konosuke ROCKS Ospreay, but he wobbles as he stays on his feet! Ospreay comes back to fire another forearm, but Konosuke ROCKS him again! Ospreay staggers around this time, but he grits his teeth as he fires back up! Ospreay fires a flurry of forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW staggers Ospreay again!

And BOOT! And BOOT, but Konosuke blocks! ALPHA ELBOW!! Ospreay falls in a heap and Boston is thunderous! The ref checks on Ospreay, and somehow, he isn’t out of this yet.

Konosuke elbows free but Ospreay HOOK KICKS him!
Ospreay winds up to SUPERKICK! Konosuke winds up, Ospreay SWATS the elbow to then HOOK KICK again! Konosuke drops to his knees, Ospreay prepares the arm! HIDDEN- NO, Konosuke flops right over!

But Ospreay lands on his feet!! Konosuke is stunned, and then HIDDEN BLADE!!! Cover, TWO!?!?!?!? HOW?!?! Ospreay goes back to the corner, throws off the elbow pad, but a POWER DRIVE KNEE finds him! RAGING- RANA!! Cover, TWO, but Ospreay just gets Konosuke’s legs! Ospreay drags Konosuke up, STYLES CLASH!!! Cover, TWO!?!??!!? What is Konosuke even made of?!? Boston is thunderous for “A E DUB! A E DUB!”
Ospreay runs, HIDDEN- BACKSLIDE! TWO!! POWER DRIVE KNEE!!! Konosuke runs, but Ospreay slips through the lariat to underhook, lift, STORMBREAKER!!!! Cover, OSPREAY WINS!!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by pinfall (advances to Double or Nothing)
Callis is furious, no more “Proto-shita” finals for him! Ospreay and Konosuke pushed the limits of what is even possible, but will Ospreay win the whole damn thing at Double or Nothing?

AEW World Trios Championships: The Death Riders VS The Opps & ???
As mentioned at the start of the night, Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta made sure The Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil was in no shape to compete tonight. But even so, the Samoan Submission Specialist and The Wrestler will not let this opportunity at both gold and vengeance pass them by. The question is, will there be a new third man? Or will The Opps be caught lacking?
The Death Riders make their entrance in from the crowd as usual, which is pretty daring given how packed the venue is tonight. As for The Opps, we see Joe & Shibata step on stage, but they’re not alone! POWERHOUSE HOBBS IS HERE!! Will the Book of Hobbs have a chapter about ending the reign of terror? The introductions are made, but then the brawl is on! The fans fire up and the bell rings, Hobbs has Yuta, Shibata has Claudio, and Joe has Moxley! The fans fire up as Moxley spills out of the ring with Joe while Claudio drags Shibata outside. Yuta ducks ‘n’ dodges Hobbs, but then Hobbs CLOBBERS Yuta!
Claudio and Shibata trade heavy forearms, Joe SMACKS Moxley off the apron, and Hobbs whips Yuta to a corner. Yuta staggers, Hobbs CLOBBERS him again! Yuta flounders into the corner, the fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs whips Yuta corner to corner, runs in and SPLASHES! Hobbs shouts, “MEAT!” and the fans chant “MEAT!” with every big lariat! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Hobbs then grins as he winds up to “MEAT!” Moxley storms in and he CLUBS Hobbs! That just pisses Hobbs off! The fans tell Moxley he messed up! Moxley bails out, but then Yuta CLUBS Hobbs! Same result as with Moxley!
Hobbs scoops Yuta, carries him around, then hits a RUNNING POWERSLAM! Hobbs tags Joe and the fans cheer. Hobbs stands Yuta up for Joe to JAB! JAB! JAB! Joe fires hands high and low, backs Yuta into a corner, then fires up! RIDGE HAND CHOP! Joe whips corner to corner, runs up, and back ELBOWS, to then PELE! Yuta flops down, Joe stares Moxley down, and fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Joe drags Yuta up, CHOPS him in the corner, then tags Shibata. The fans fire up again as Shibata UPPERCUTS Yuta! And again! And then CHOPS! CHOPS! CHOPS! Shibata snapmares Yuta, runs, and he BOOTS Moxley!
Shibata then clamps onto Yuta and grinds him down. Yuta endures, pries at the hold, and fans taunt Yuta. Yuta fights up, powers up and out, but Shibata BOOTS Moxley again! Yuta CLUBS Shibata, then TOSSES Shibata out. Yuta distracts the ref so Claudio can run and THROW Shibata into railing! The fans boo but Hobbs backs Claudio off. The ref has Hobbs stay back, and Yuta goes out to fetch Shibata. Yuta drags Shibata into the ring, tags Moxley, and the fans boo as Moxley flips off Joe. Joe storms in, the ref stops him, and Moxley KICKS Shibata down! Tag to Claudio, the Death Riders mug Shibata. Claudio drags Shibata up but Shibata CHOPS!
Shibata CHOPS, Claudio eggs him on, repeat! Claudio blocks a chop to short arm LARIAT! Claudio soaks up the heat, then he stomps Shibata. The fans rally, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Claudio drags Shibata up, pushes him to a corner, and UPPERCUTS! Claudio stomps Shibata, tags Moxley, and Moxley runs corner to corner to LARIAT! And then LARIAT! And LARIAT! Tag back to Claudio, the mugging continues, then Claudio tags Yuta. Yuta taunts Hobbs & Joe, Claudio stands Shibata up, and Yuta stomps Shibata down. The ref reprimands but Yuta hooks a leg, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Y uta clamps onto the leg for a toehold. Shibata endures, even as Yuta twists the ankle. Yuta drops an elbow on the knee, then tags Moxley. But then Joe & Hobbs storm in!
The ref stops Joe & Hobbs, Moxley taunts them, and then Moxley drags Shibata around. Moxley stomps Shibata, turns him over, and CLAWS Shibata’s back! The ref reprimands and counts as Moxley CLAWS Shibata more! Moxley fishhooks, the ref counts again, and Moxley pushes Shibata down at 4. Moxley drags Shibata up, has a facelock, and he drags Shibata over to the corner. Tag to Claudio, the mugging continues, and Claudio brings Shibata around for a BIG suplex! Cover, TWO! Shibata stays in this but Claudio stays on him with a top wristlock. Shibata endures, fights around, but Claudio knees him low!
Claudio pushes on the wristlock and grinds Shibata back down. Spring Breakthru returns to single picture while the fans rally behind Shibata. Shibata fights up, but Claudio TOSSES him out! Moxley storms up on Shibata, but Hobbs hurries over to stop that. The ref is busy with Claudio and Moxley, which lets Marina CHOP BLOCK Hobbs! The fans boo but Marina flips them all off. Yuta drags Shibata up and into the ring for Claudio, and Claudio eggs Shibata on. Claudio SLAPS Shibata, kicks him around, but Shibata CHOPS! Claudio ROCKS Shibata! Shibata CHOPS Claudio! Repeat! Claudio shoves Shibata, catches him to a SLEEPER, but Shibata slips around to get a SLEEPER!

Yuta runs, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, Moxley breaks it! Moxley tags in, then he goes looking under the ring! Moxley grabs a chair! The Maniac no longer cares about winning but about using Champion’s Advantage! The ref tells Moxley to stop right there, but then WILLOW NIGHTINGALE is here! She snatches the chair from Moxley! And she flips him off! Joe BOOTS Moxley down! Yuta goes up to MISSILE DROPKICK Joe!
Shibata BOOTS Yuta! Claudio POP-UP UPPERCUTS Shibata! Hobbs SPINEBUSTERS Claudio! Moxley SHOTGUNS Hobbs! Joe is back as Moxley runs, and Moxley BOOTS Joe! Joe LARIATS Moxley! All six men are down around ringside and Boston is thunderous! Willow coaches The Opps, but now The Young Bucks walk out here? The EVPs are surely going to sway things in the Death Riders’ favor now, given they grab some chairs. But wait! Someone in the crowd snatches Matt’s chair?! IT’S SWERVE STRICKLAND! And he DECKS Matt! Nick runs up, but Swerve BOOTS him! Swerve goes up, DOUBLE KILL STOMPS for The Bucks!!

The fans are thunderous, but Moxley drags Joe up! Underhooks and- NO, Joe wrenches out, COQUINA CLUTCH!!! Moxley is caught, and he’s RIGHT OUT! OPPS WIN!!
Winners: The Opps, by submission (NEW AEW World Trios Champions)
No more reign of terror in the trios division, this one was for Hook! Joe personally gives Hobbs the belt, the pyro goes off, and Boston is all fired up! The Death Riders retreat, and Will Ospreay leads the way as the AEW locker room comes out here to celebrate! The champagne bottles pop off and it’s a toast to The Opps, but perhaps we’re burying the lead as Joe took out THE AEW World Champion! Will Joe look to also dethrone “The One True King” and truly restore the feeling here in AEW?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode of Dynamite here, a lot more than I expected for a themed episode. At the same time, it was a lot of tournament and big story stuff, so they were of course going to go hard. I was a little surprised by the match order, but when they kayfabe’d away Hook being out of action, it did make sense for them to push the trios title to the main event. At the same time, bringing in Hobbs as the third man, adding a lot of overbooking and tying in more story, that was a great way to dethrone the Death Riders and close out the show. Hobbs being a champion again is great for him, and I really do think they should parley this into Joe VS Moxley for the world title at Double or Nothing.
Mercedes Mone VS Athena really could’ve been a main event in itself, but it was still an awesome match even as the opener. Mone winning is fine because Boston, and while I was thinking it’d be Mone VS Athena at All In for the TBS Championship, I suppose they could swing it where it is title for title, TBS Championship and ROH Women’s Championship both on the line. I say that because I still feel like Kris Statlander could be going to All In to face Toni. A little confusing as to why we can’t just get Kris VS Hayter tomorrow night, but Mone & Harley VS Kris & Julia will still be really good. It just feels like they’re giving away the Double or Nothing match just so Mone can have matches both nights in Boston.
Very good promo from The Patriarchy with Christian Cage now being passive aggressive towards Nick Wayne. I like how Christian is taking kayfabe credit for Nick getting in the Best of the Super Juniors, and I do like Nick VS Komander for Collision. No idea if Nick wins that match or not, as it’d be a shame if Nick’s storyline is the reason Komander’s reign comes to an end. But at the same time, how great would it be for the ROH World Television Champion to be part of BOSJ and that big round robin tournament? Though at the same time, something about what Christian said certainly made it feel like Nick will lose, so maybe not.
Great match from Hurt Syndicate VS Gates of Agony, even with Kaun & Liona obviously set up to fail. MJF of course showed up, and while I figured MJF would bribe Hurt Syndicate, I didn’t think it’d be with ladies. Also I think a few, if not all, of the ladies were wrestlers. The redhead was Sloane Jacobs, if I’m not mistaken. But great stuff with Lashley intimidating Shelton into voting against MJF. I feel like MJF should reveal he has been watching the episodes back cuz he wants to keep an eye on the Hurt Syndicate’s “private” conversations, and he can call out MVP for being two-faced saying the Syndicate would just be using MJF for their own gains.
Good promo from Hangman with The Elite, and Okada was cruising for a bruising. Josh Alexander was a great Wild Card, and he has a great match with Hangman, but it made sense for Hangman to win. Alexander possibly joining Callis Family with that bit after is intriguing, but Kyle is now on top going into their semifinal match. I would think that means Hangman wins to go to Double or Nothing. Ospreay VS Konosuke was insane, it might as well have been for the Owen Hart Cup already. Great win for Ospreay, and now even if Kyle defies go home math, Ospreay VS Hangman and Ospreay VS Fletcher are both awesome choices to put on PPV.
My Score: 9.1/10
