Bron Breakker arrives.
NXT Media asks how his shoulder is doing, and he says it’s fine. Will “fine” be enough to take on a hungry and determined Cameron Grimes?
Tony D’Angelo speaks with Legado del Fantasma.
Last week, The Don “took care” of Two Dimes, and it broke his heart. But those tough decisions is what being The Don is all about. Now, where is Santos Escobar? Tony “handled” him! He told everyone that he better be North American Champion, “or else!” And the “or else” is Escobar in the hospital! That can’t be a real photo. That’s what happens when you laugh at Tony D! But now that there is an understanding, the only one who has been doing work for The Family is Elektra Lopez. She increased work at the port by 80%! As for the clowns, Wilde & Del Toro get one last opportunity to prove their loyalties. Or they join Escobar.
Lopez wants to check on Santos to see what is really going on here. Will they find that the Don did deal with the Emperor of Lucha? Or will they expose his lies and turn the tables on him?
Pretty Deadly speak.
Elton Prince & Kit Wilson are looking good and feeling good, “just radiating off your screen.” They are the pride of Essex. People think France is the center of fashion, but the fashion forward movement is from Essex. They live for the weekend, dress to the tens, and you wouldn’t be caught dead drinking beer. The mere mention of beer makes Prince think of “those two swamp Rednecks,” Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen. Don’t forget the third one, Fallon Henley. “That big manhands!” They have Pretty Deadly’s UK Tag Team titles!
But don’t worry, those three can’t bide time milking cows forever. Pretty Deadly will take ’em behind the woodshed and give ’em a good ol’ fashioned whoopin’! ROLL TIDE~! YEEHAW~! Big words from the former champions, but will they become two-time champions soon enough?
Wes Lee VS Trick Williams w/ Carmelo Hayes!
Speaking of people getting what they deserve, when you disrespect someone baring their soul, you better be ready for a fight! Will the Must-See Kid show Melo’s minion that there’s strength in fighting from the heart?

Backstage interview with Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez.
McKenzie congratulates the NEW NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions, and they say they finally did it. Cora is finally champ in WWE, and with her best friend! Roxie says this is so surreal! She won the Breakout Tournament, and now she’s a tag team champion with her best friend! And it felt so good to knock Toxic Attraction off the pedestal. It felt amazing! And next week, Roxie is ready! She’ll end the Toxic Reign once and for all! She’s cashing in on Mandy Rose! Then the Toxic Attraction is done. But for tonight, we celebrate! Will Roxie be a DOUBLE champion in one fell swoop? Or will Mandy do everything in her power to stop that from happening?
Cameron Grimes checks in on Bron Breakker.
Grimes asks about the shoulder, and Bron tells him that the shoulder’s fine. Well, Grimes will do whatever it takes to become champion. Bron wouldn’t have it any other way. Grimes heads out, but will he be leaving tonight with the gold?
Apollo Crews is here!
He heads to the ring and gets the mic to say, “I’d like to share something with you real quick. For the last year, when I would get home, I would sit and I would ask my kids what they thought.” They said, “Daddy, that isn’t you.” And then they stopped watching all together. But since his return to NXT, Apollo’s kids watch him every single week. When Apollo gets home now and they jump on hi slap with a million questions, excitement on their faces, he can’t help but be excited. He thanks his kids for bringing the spark back into his career. So to his kids, Apollo tells them he loves them.
Now, Apollo’s been back a month and Xyon Quinn is right about one thing: NXT is different. There is a group of young, hungry and athletic talent ready to take advantage of opportunity. The wheels got spinning in Apollo’s head and he wondered what would happen if he faced Tony D’Angelo, or Nathan Frazer, or even the winner of tonight’s North American Championship match, Carmelo Hayes VS Grayson Waller. Oh but you know he’ll be watching Bron VS Grimes. Apollo knows he and Cameron could make magic in the ring. And Apollo VS Bron- Wait, here comes GIOVANNI VINCI! He noticed Apollo left him off the list.
But he doesn’t blame Apollo. When Apollo sees his future against Giovanni Vinci, it doesn’t work out so well, does it? Vinci says he is the one guy in NXT that can not only keep up with Apollo, he can outdo Apollo in the ring and in style. Okay, Mr. Style. Stop talking, get in the ring, and we’ll see them go stride for stride right now. Vinci tells Apollo that he has all the people fooled, but not Vinci. Vinci is dressed for a night out, not for a night with the fans. But maybe next week, they can find out… Or rather, Apollo finds out, just who the best athlete in NXT really is. And Vinci assures Apollo that he will lose. But that gives Apollo seven days to come up with an excuse to tell the kids.
Vinci tosses the mic, but Apollo catches it! Apollo stares Vinci down as he leaves, but will it be #VeniVidiVinci? Or will it be all about #CrewsControl?
Backstage interview with Ivy Nile.
McKenzie notes that the Creed Brothers are facing Strong & Kemp in a Diamond Mine VS Diamond Mine match. Is the group imploding? Ivy says they are a group of alphas, and you don’t even step foot in their gym unless you’re a badass. They all have healthy egos, so tonight we find out who the best team is. Diamond Mine Forever is not just some catchphrase, it is real! Ivy then hears an argument going on and shouts it all down. Tatum Paxley is dealing with KC Squared in continuation from last week, and Ivy says it’s enough. Katana Chance tells Kayden Carter it is not the time.
Tatum thanks Ivy for the back-up, but Ivy says if Tatum’s gonna get in a mess, she needs to learn to get out of it. Tomorrow, 8 AM, Diamond Dojo. Got it? Got it! Tatum has her pass into the Diamond Mine, will she make the most of it?
Grayson Waller speaks.
“Melo, my mum really loved that signed T-Shirt, man. And wow! Your autograph’s worth a fortune! I just sold it for 28Â cents on eBay! And the other, I’m gonna save as a coaster for my victory toast. Because there’s only one thing left for Grayson Waller to steal, and that’s the North American Championship.”
Carmelo Hayes responds!
“Waller, you and I used to be boys. But all that is out the window, because when you play Melo, you play yourself!” Trick got his W, and Melo’s gonna get his. Because there is a difference between common and special. Waller is common, Melo is special! That’s all it is, and that’s all it’s gon’ be! Just who leaves tonight THE A Champion?
JD McDonagh speaks.
“My dad’s a lot like me. He’s a great man. He sat me down when I was about three years old, he said, ‘Son, you can do whatever you wanna do in this life. If you wanna go in the army, you’ll be a general. If you wanna do art, you make sure that you’re Picasso.’ And that is how the Irish Ace was born.” Anyone who steps into the ring with him gets dissected. He is so far ahead of the roster, they couldn’t see him if they had a set of binoculars. He will change everyone’s minds real quick. Enjoy tonight, because next week, NXT 2.0 changes forever.
Bron gets checked by the trainer.
Any pain? Nope. And a good range of motion. The doc wants to put on tape but Bron says no thanks. Bron heads out, but is his ego getting in the way of his health?
NXT North American Championship: Carmelo Hayes w/ Trick Williams VS Grayson Waller!
Two young pillars of NXT have been running parallel since showing up on the brand, but Melo has been the one with the golden accolades. Will the 21st Century Success Story look to take that all away here tonight? Or will Melo shoot and score once more?
After Waller makes his entrance, Trick appears on the perch! “Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Trick ‘n’ Melo fans of all ages… I need for y’all to strap on your seatbelts and glue your wigs on tight, and make some noise for the man who don’t miss, the leader of the new school, the two-time North American Champion, your A CHAMPION… CARMELOOO~! HAAAYES~!” Melo makes his entrance, with pyro going off, and he says this is HIS show.

Melo and Waller circle, fans are thunderous already, and they tie up. Melo headlocks, Waller pulls hair to get a headlock of his own, but Melo returns the favor.

Trick being ringside paid off, even if Lee got some payback on him. Melo is still on top, but who will come for his gold next?
Backstage interview with Xyon Quinn.
McKenzie asks him his thoughts on tonight’s Great American Bash. Xyon is upset about Apollo Crews eyeing the North American and NXT Championships, but that’s the wrong target. He should be looking at Xyon. Not to brag, but Xyon is box office. When you type “WWE Superstar” into Google, Xyon comes right up. And a title reign for Apollo? That ain’t it. Xyon Quinn, he is going to be a future multiple time champion. NXT 2.0 is about the future, and the future is Xyon Quinn.
Diamond Mine hypes itself up.
“Who are we?” “DIAMOND MINE!” “What are we?” “FOREVER!” But Strong heads out without the fist bump. Will “forever” not be all that long after this title match?
Backstage interview with Mandy Rose.
McKenzie says it was a tough night for Toxic Attraction, but Roxie wants the NXT Women’s Championship. Wow, nothing gets past McKenzie. But Cora & Roxie, AKA Team 2001 or whatever they’re calling themselves, got lucky! This has happened before, but Gigi & Jacy corrected themselves, won those belts back, rinse and repeat. And Mandy is pretty sure Roxie is running around on a high horse. Once the adrenaline wears off, Roxie will see she’s made the biggest mistake of her life. Roxie will realize she cannot defeat Mandy for the title. Neither could Cora Jade. And next week, Roxie joins her BFF in the failure club. If she even makes it to next week. A not so veiled threat from Mandy, will Roxie have to watch her back?
Andre Chase teaches another class.
But before he continues the lesson, he wants to welcome the new students, such as Thea Hail right up front. As we all know, America celebrated its independence yesterday. July 4th, 1776, America adopted the Declaration of Independence. Chase asks Bodhi Hayward what’s wrong. He’s dozing off. Is this boring? No, not at all, sir! But his roommate doesn’t sleep. Thea says they watched MITB like 50 times! They’re like brother and sister! Right, Bodhi? Y-Yeah, just stop hitting him. Chase likes that. That’s what Chase U is all about: making memories happen. Someone in the back has a question.
Chad says the Declaration of Independence was actually written on July 2nd, and that John Adams believed July 2nd should be the real Day of Independence. Well who the F do you think you are, Chad?! You come in talking about John Adams, but who the F did John Adams ever beat!? DON’T YOU TELL CHASE ABOUT THE BIRTH OF THIS NATION! He IS America! Get the hell outta here and never come back. Okay, where were we? But Thea has an idea! Wouldn’t it be sweet to go to England and learn about their history? A field trip? Like that’s ever gonna happen. Chase says that’s a great idea! NXT UK, here we come! Oh, bloody hell…

But then Julius GUT WRENCH SUPLEXES Kemp away! Tag to Brutus, and he gets in to CLOBBER Kemp! And again! And then a TACKLE for a ground ‘n’ pound! Brutus shoves Kemp around, fires up, but Strong tags in. Strong waits as Brutus glares at Kemp. Brutus CLUBS away on Kemp at the ropes but Strong gets in. Brutus CLOBBERS Strong, drags him up and fireman’s carries. Strong fights free to shove Brutus. Strong is between the brothers, and he SLAPS Julius! The ref has to keep Julius out, Brutus tells him to calm down, but a STRONG KNEE rocks Brutus! And another STRONG KNEE!
Strong says this is on Julius, and he drags Brutus up. Tag to Kemp, but Brutus fights back. Strong * Kemp mug Brutus, then Kemp wrangles Brutus down to a chinlock. Fans rally, Brutus fights up but Kemp knees Brutus down to hit an EXPLODER! Kemp RAMS into Brutus, then SLINGSHOT SPEARS! Cover, TWO!! Brutus survives but Kemp keeps on Brutus with a facelock.

Winners: The Creed Brothers, by pinfall (still NXT Tag Team Champions)
Julius & Brutus prove they are champions for a reason! They help Kemp up and he shows respect, but what about Strong? Strong stares down his faction as they hold up the belts, but he stays silent. Has Strong been humbled by the men he helped forge into diamonds?
A-Kid speaks.
“I was a very bright child. But that got me and all the other intelligent kids bullied. So I decided to do something about it. I learned how to fight back. To escape my environment, I knew it would take more. I had a gift for mathematics. When I close my eyes, I see numbers and equations. Everything can be broken down into a formula. There is a solution to every problem. I’ve been told that I am technically gifted in the ring. Whether it is mathematics or physics, it all comes down to an equation. You can quickly analyze and react to anything. Even when your body fails, your mind can push you to new heights. I am Axiom.”
Backstage interview with The Robert Stone Brand.
McKenzie says Mr. Stone himself requested this time, so what’s on his mind? Stone says it is a travesty that Von Wagner wasn’t part of GAB. And the reason that happened is because of “them!” Sophia Cromwell says the so-called fans and their audacity to squawk at Von- Solo Sikoa walks in and says, “Hold the hell up. Von, what are you running around and crying for? Blaming the NXT Universe for telling you how it is? You don’t see the Street Champion running around, looking for excuses.” Von acts like he’s owed something. Stone wants to say something but Von says he can handle this. Stone & Sophia don’t speak for him.
Von tells the Street Champion that if he wants to run his mouth, let’s handle business right now. Oh, is that so? Things get tense but referees and security rush in to stop this! Solo says he’ll shut Von’s ass up, but when will these giants throw down?
NXT Championship: Bron Breakker VS Cameron Grimes!
Though both men are second generation wrestlers, the Big Booty Nephew and Carolina Caveman lived very different lives. People around the world know about The Steiner Brothers, but perhaps only North Carolina wrestling fans know about Tracy Caddell. Will Grimes make sure no one ever forgets his name by putting it right on the title? Or will Bron still stand tall, bad shoulder and all?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Grimes can break Breakker!
Grimes and Bron tie up, and even at less than 100%, Bron puts Grimes in a corner. Bron lets off, Grimes comes back and they circle. They tie up, Bron powers Grimes back again but Grimes turns things around. Fans duel, Grimes lets off, but then he gets the bad arm! Bron throws Grimes away, but Grimes says he almost had him. They go again, Grimes gets a leg instead but Bron headlocks. Grimes powers up but can’t power out as Bron holds tight. Grimes wrenches out, Bron powers the hold back on, but Grimes wrenches again. Bron gets away because that’s the bad arm. Fans duel, Bron says Grimes thinks he’s clever.
The two go again, Bron waistlocks then headlocks but Grimes powers him to ropes. Grimes powers out this time, but Bron gator rolls to get Grimes up for a suplex! Grimes fights it to a cradle, TWO! Grimes trips Bron, covers, TWO! Grimes has the bad arm! Bron fights up, whips free, and SPLASHES in a corner. Bron scoops, Grimes elbows free, has the arm again, but Bron gets away. Bron ducks and dodges to CLOBBER Grimes! The speed makes up for the bad arm’s weakness, and fans bark for Bron as NXT goes picture in picture.
Grimes is in a corner and checking his jaw while Bron shakes out the bad arm. Grimes takes a second but comes back. He and Bron tie up, but Grimes kicks low to then CLUB the bad arm. Grimes throws elbows, CLUBS away on the bad arm, then he puts Bron in a corner to KICK! Bron staggers to another corner, Grimes whips him corner to corner. Bron reverses and Grimes hits buckles hard! Bron drags Grimes up to whip corner to corner the other way, and just as hard! Grimes flops down but Bron is on him at the ropes. Bron facelocks, grinds Grimes down, but Grimes fights up to wrench the bad arm again!
Grimes hits an ARMBREAKER DDT! Cover, TWO! Bron toughs it out but Grimes clamps onto the bad arm again. Grimes grinds the shoulder but Bron endures. Grimes pulls on the arm, almost a Fujiwara Armbar, but Bron fight sit off. Bron fights up, but Grimes ROCKS him with a forearm! Bron hits back but Grimes ROCKS him again. Grimes suplexes but Bron blocks! NXT returns to single picture as Bron suplexes Grimes, holds him up, and SLAMS! Fans fire up while both men are down, and Bron checks his bad arm. Bron stalks Grimes, choke grips, and trophy lifts! But the bad arm gives up and Grimes slips off.
Bron rushes Grimes but Grimes sends him out! PENALTY KICK from the apron, and then a CANNONBALL! Fans fire up for “NXT! NXT!” as Grimes nods and gets to his feet. Grimes stomps the bad arm, the ring count is climbing, but Grimes lets off to put Bron in at 6 of 10. Grimes covers, TWO! Ironically, Bron shot the bad arm up so that just adds to the pain. Grimes YANKS the bad arm, twists the wrist, then drags Bron up to PENALTY KICK him down! Cover, TWO! Grimes clamps onto Bron’s good arm, hammerlocks it, then pulls the bad arm way back! Bron endures as Grimes pushes the arm down with a foot! Cover, TWO!
Bron is still in this but Grimes keeps his focus. Grimes BOOTS the bad arm, KICKS Bron, but Bron snarls. Bron sits up and Grimes KICKS him again! Bron is getting angrier, and he blocks the kick to RAM Grimes into buckles! Bron RAMS in again but that’s the bad arm! Grimes runs in, but into a SPINEBUSTER! Both men are down and fans fire up! Both men stir as fans say, “This is Awesome!” Grimes fires forearms but Bron gives them back. Grimes keeps throwing forearms but so does Bron. They keep throwing shots as they stand, Bron switches to haymakers, but Grimes wrenches the arm! Bron DEKCS Grimes!
Bron rallies with big shoulder tackles form the left side! Grimes jumps, but into another SPINEBUSTER! Fans fire up and Bron brings down the straps! Bron choke grips but Grimes ROCKS him! Bron ducks a kick but not the SUPERKICK! Grimes ducks ‘n’ dodges, COLLISION COURSE!! Cover, TWO!! Fans fire up while both men are down! Bron gets up in a corner, Grimes runs in, but Bron puts him on the apron. Grimes HOTHOTS the bad arm! Grimes goes up the corner, but Bron CLUBS him first! Bron climbs up after Grimes, for a SUPER STEINER! Cover, TWO!! Grimes survives and no one can believe it!
Bron gets up, shakes out the bad arm, and he goes to the opposite corner. Bron runs in corner to corner, but Grimes dodges! Bron stops from hitting buckles, but Grimes tilt-o-whirls around to have an IRON OCTOPUS! Bron resists but fans rally as Grimes pulls! Bron fireman’s carries out of the hold but Grimes slips off to RAM him into buckles! CAVE-IN!!! Cover, TWO!?!? Bron survives Grimes’ best shot and now no one can believe it! Grimes hurries to a corner, he fires up and goes up the corner! “TO! THE! MOON~!” SUPER- SPEAR!! Cover, Bron wins!!
Winner: Bron Breakker, by pinfall (still NXT Champion)
Grimes wanted to fly, but Bron shot him out of the sky! But the celebration is cut short as JD MCDONAGH attacks!! He said he would show up next week, but that was a lie! He drags Bron up to hit DEVLINSIDE through a picnic table!! The Irish Ace says Bron should’ve been listening to his videos. The Necessary Evil is here, and he’s after Bron’s gold! Will JD go from NXT UK exile to the Ace of NXT 2.0?
My Thoughts:
NXT definitely put the “great” in the Great American Bash this year. I missed a bit of that opening vignette but I did like that Briggs, Jensen & Fallon were the hosts of the party, as their characters are “down to earth” and they love to have fun. Pretty Deadly had a decent promo calling them out, but I would think Pretty Deadly ends up losing to give Briggs & Jensen a good first defense. Chase University has another hilarious promo segment all together, with Andre Chase chewing the crap out of “Chad,” and setting up how they’ll be the next wave of visitors to NXT UK. I would love to see these three looking at landmarks and being in character going around London.
A great Women’s Tag Team Championships match to open the night, and while it almost looked like Toxic Attraction was going to cheat to retain, #JadeRox turns it back around and crowning new champions is the right move. Roxie made her challenge and is getting her match with Mandy, but even if Roxie doesn’t win that match, Toxic Attraction has been weakened and they can try to find themselves in the aftermath. Personally, Gigi Dolin needs to break out from the group, fans really like her all on her own and she is honestly the better of the three in the ring. But Mandy VS Roxie will be great stuff either way, it’s definitely what you follow tonight with.
Good promo from Tony D’Angelo and Legado where he claims he sidelined Escobar, but we’ll wait and see what’s the real story. I liked that Choo went after Tiffany backstage to give us a really fun brawl that leads right into their match. Also nice little gag where Wendy was sitting on the same chair she used to sit on as Mei Ying. The match was good, but I feel like this wasn’t for Tiffany to win. Choo’s been on the down after losing to Mandy, I thought this could be her way to get back up and then she and Tiffany escalate things into a bigger blow-off. But maybe that still happens anyway, winner being seen as the contender to the winner of Mandy VS Roxie.
A pretty good promo from Apollo and Vinci, and they’re going to have a great match that will get more out of Vinci, both his moves and his character. And while Apollo mentioned both champions, I think he’s going for the North American Championship after beating Vinci and beating Xyon. Wes VS Trick was pretty good, but we should’ve expected Trick to cheat as the Heel. Trick wins but as we saw, Lee went after him again during the North American Championship so the feud is just getting started. Speaking of which, Melo VS Waller was a great title match, and I figured Melo would retain as he still has a long list of guys he can face before losing the belt.
We got a decent promo out of the Robert Stone Brand and Solo Sikoa to set up a match, Solo VS Von is going to be great stuff, but unless Solo really is going to join The Bloodline on RawDown, I would hope Solo wins. A-Kid gave us a pretty good promo, but of course his name changes. “Axiom” is a pretty good choice, “a statement or proposition which is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true.” Therefore, AK is going to be the foundation for redefining the North American Championship scene, he’ll have some great matches with all the guys in that scene. He can fit into that scene right now, even, with Melo, Apollo, Vinci, etc.
Ivy Nile had a decent promo to establish her belief that Diamond Mine will never break. And she also stepped up to help Tatum with some of that tough love. Maybe Ivy & Tatum truly become a team to challenge for the tag titles once Toxic Attraction is fully out of the way. We got a great tag title match in Diamond Mine: Civil War, and I’m oddly surprised there was no meltdown from Strong. There must still be something coming down the line that will make Strong lash out and break away from the group. And at this point, it feels like Strong is going to take Julius on 1v1 as the blow-off, winner being the true leader of the faction.
After all the different Bron Breakker promos playing up the shoulder, I really thought this was foreshadowing a loss. We still got great main event from Bron VS Grimes, but Grimes found himself between a rock and a hard place. If not for Vince’s typical push being too much too soon, and if Bron was only a one-time champion at this point, this could’ve been the night someone dethroned Bron for the first time. It would’ve been big both ways: big because this was Bron’s first title loss, and big because Grimes backed up his words and showed he had more heart. Then Bron would have to work to redeem himself and get that belt back. Instead, Grimes is fed to the machine.
But what a great final moment of the night in return! Jordan Devlin now “JD McDonagh” had his vignette claiming he’d be here next week, and then surprise! He’s here now, he goes after the top champion, and he’ll definitely get a title match. As much as I don’t want Bron becoming the one to reach three-time NXT Champion the fastest, I do want to see Devlin get that title off him and finally be the top guy on a WWE brand.
My Score: 8.7/10

Hangman Page is here!
Mexico City fires up for the Blackhat Cowboy as he makes his way into Arena Mexico for the first time! Hangman has a mic to say, “Hola! Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL.

Well, they always say, “Card subject to change.” Cash Wheeler is not able to make it, but Lance Archer and “The Predator,” Volador Jr, take his place! Then on the other side, the OG Atlantis jumps in! Will things only end up crazier to start off Grand Slam?
As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.
On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son. Then Brody King and Daniel Garcia follow, saving TNT Champion, Adam Cole, for last!

The fans fire up behind the Most Wanted while he and Konosuke circle. They approach, Konosuke trips Bandido and things speed up. Bandido stays low, then hurdles, but Konosuke leaps over.

But Dax attacks anyway! What a sore loser! But Arena Mexico doesn’t seem to care?! Junior and the other luchadores run Dax off, and Stokely says keep them back! Will things just have to end here? Or will both father and son get payback on FTR soon enough?
Kazuchika Okada w/ Don Callis VS Mark Briscoe!
The Rainmaker has a Winner Takes All match with long-time rival, Kenny Omega, but he crossed a line! Not only has Okada joined Don Callis just to stick it to The Cleaner, but Okada hospitalized Omega with a brutal attack to the stomach! Will the Sussex County Chicken get a semblance of revenge on Omega’s behalf? Or will Okada make it rain in Arena Mexico?
The fans are fired up for Okada while he and Briscoe get face to face. The ref has them back away to their corners, then the bell rings. Okada and Briscoe step up again, then Briscoe shoves Okada! Okada bails out and the fans boo. Briscoe waits on Okada while commentary tells Callis he and Okada committed the most despicable thing in all of wrestling. Callis of course says it was the most shrewd tactical move in the history of wrestling. Okada takes his time returning into the ring, and then he circles with Briscoe. They tie up and are in a deadlock. They go around, Okada puts Briscoe on the ropes, but he lets off slowly.
Okada fakes the chop, and pats Briscoe on the shoulders. The fans are torn, but Briscoe kicks Okada and TOSSES him! The fans cheer as Briscoe builds speed, but Okada steps aside so Briscoe can’t dive. Briscoe gives chase, though, and they go around the outside. They slide back in, and Okada CLOBBERS Briscoe! The fans are torn as Okada CLUBS away. Okada fires forearms, storms up to stomp Briscoe in the corner, and then ELBOWS him! The fans are torn but Okada brings Briscoe around for a BIG back suplex. But Briscoe lands out, and hits the Crane Stance! Okada takes a swing, Briscoe ducks, and Briscoe CHOPS!
Briscoe whips, Okada reverses, but Briscoe slides under the boot! Crane Stance! Crane feint, then the CRANE KICK! The fans fire up as Briscoe stands up in his Redneck Kung-Fu stance. Briscoe stands Okada up to ROCK with a haymaker, then ROCKS him again. Okada staggers, Briscoe is on him with a CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and Callis acknowledges those heavy hands of Briscoe’s. Briscoe bumps Okada off buckles, stomps a mudhole, then stops as the ref counts 4. Briscoe then grinds his forearm into Okada’s face!

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