Toxic Attraction arrives.

Mandy Rose, Jacy Jayne & Gigi Dolin see Bron Breakker also arriving. He’s got an uphill battle tonight, huh? Yeah, and so does Mandy. Well okay. We’ll see who leaves with their title. Yes, we will. Toxic Attraction seems to consider Bron a contender, but will Mandy and Bron still have the gold after tonight?

 

Julius Creed speaks.

Via twitter, Julius said, “So I went back and watched the 8 Man Tag over and over and over again, but I found what I was searching for. And I’m gonna address who needs to be addressed, but I’m gonna do it in front of the NXT Universe this Tuesday at Heatwave.” As such, he and the rest of Diamond Mine are heading to gorilla in the present. What did he see and who does he plan to confront? We’ll see, after the break.

 

Von Wagner & Robert Stone speak.

“Mr. Stone” says that two weeks ago, Solo Sikoa got a so-called victory, yet he’s the one on the shelf and Von’s still standing. If you learned anything from that match, it is that Von is a freak of nature! Von can run a 40 yard dash in 4.5 seconds and he can bench press 225 pounds 30 times. If Von wanted to go to an NFL team and get a contract, he could! Von says Stone has heard all the talk, how there is a change in the air. It doesn’t matter if you’re internet famous or popular with the media! “The Game has changed, but the rules remain the same. Anyone smaller or weaker will not survive in my jungle!”

 

The Diamond Mine heads to the ring!

Julius & Brutus Creed lead Roderick Strong and Damon Kemp out, and they all get a mic. Julius starts by saying, “Less than a year ago, my brother and I got an opportunity of a lifetime: to learn from one of the greatest champions in NXT history, Roderick Strong. And we jumped at that opportunity. And we dedicated every fiber of our being to win the Dusty Cup and to win these NXT Tag Team Championships for Diamond Mine. We’ve been stitched, we’ve been stapled, we’ve wound ourselves up doing cannonballs, all for this right here.

“But recently, it was brought to my attention that someone’s trying to destroy what we’ve built. Someone’s trying to destroy Diamond Mine. And I wanted to use this opportunity to call that person out right now!” Julius looks to the ramp, but then he looks at STRONG! Is Julius kidding?! Strong can’t believe Julius is blaming Strong! Strong founded Diamond Mine and brought in the Creeds! They’re one-of-a-kind athletes with endless potential! That is something he never had. And he stands here looking at them as the NXT Tag Team Champions! Fans chant, “They Don’t Need You!” and Strong says yes they do!

But look at him, Julius. They are one of the best tag teams in all the WWE! Strong would put the Creeds up against the Usos any day of the week! That is how much he believes in them! They’re the future of this place! That’s great, and they can tell the Usos for them, but the Creds aren’t just the future, they’re the now! But Strong can say whatever he wants to their face, because Julius knows Strong will just stab them in the back. Brutus isn’t so sure, though. Julius says he is sure, though. Then Brutus says he has his brother’s back! But Strong says Julius needs to be careful with the next works that come out of his mouth!

Julius says everything he does is calculated. He isn’t gonna play games, he’s gonna just show Strong instead! Roll the tape! Strong was throwing knees, Julius was throwing lariats, but then Tony looked to Strong and they had a moment! Strong hits Julius with the knee, and that is enough for Julius! Tony signaled Strong! Or was Julius imagining it? Strong says they can’t be serious here! Strong doesn’t know, Tony D is a scumbag. Maybe Tony has a tic or he was signaling his own team. But y’know what? Let’s just do it! Let’s lay all the cards on the table! Since MAY, they’ve had something against Strong, and now-

GALLUS ATTACKS!! Wolfgang and the Coffey Brothers are here in the States! They’re beating down Kemp and the Creeds! Fans fire up for Gallus as they glare at Strong, and then Joe hits a GLASGOW SENDOFF! Mark and Wolfgang stomp away on Strong, then they go back to whooping the Creeds! Fans are torn but it seems NXT is now Gallus’ kingdom! And there’s the green light, just as Apollo Crews foresaw! Has Gallus just destroyed the Diamond Mine?

Indi Hartwell talks with Katana & Kayden.

She knows they’ve competed against each other for a long time when it comes to the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships, but to be honest, when KC Squared won, Indi cried. No one is more deserving. That means a lot to them. Winning these belts, it is indescribable. Indi gets that feeling. Those were the days. Does Indi miss being in a tag team? Well, she’s loved her tag team partners, and being on her own has been thrilling, but having someone to depend on- Wait, a letter comes in for her. Indi opens it up and… It’s a drawing from Dexter Lumis! #INDEXFOREVER!! O M G~!

And everyone in NXT may be superstars, but Quincy Elliot is the Super Diva.” And he’s coming soon to NXT!

 

Backstage interview with Grayson Waller.

McKenzie isn’t happy about it and Waller notices. Is it because he ruined he Emmy Award Winning interview with Apollo Crews when Waller punked him out? Uh, Apollo was the one who made a challenge while Waller was the one who backed down. Backed down? No, he could’ve dropped Crews right there, but then McKenzie would’ve said it was unfair after the 20 minute war Apollo had with Strong. He can’t win with her! But everyone else is too scared to say it, so Waller will: Apollo Crews is selfish! He’s willing to stab anyone in the back to be the man around here! He might even come for McKenzie’s job!

McKenzie doubts that, but Waller says that while Apollo doesn’t smell as nice, he does have a better small than her. But those were Apollo’s words, not Waller’s. Anyway, next week is the debut of the Grayson Waller Effect, the ONLY honest talk show in WWE history! The tough questions and the hard truth given. Take notes because he’s inviting his very first guess, APOLLO~ Crews! Also, your perfume is cheap, McKenzie.

 

NXT Championship: Bron Breakker VS JD McDonagh!

The Big Booty Nephew is already a TWO-TIME NXT Champion, but has proven that from facing veterans like Tommaso Ciampa and Dolph Ziggler to facing the best of his peers like Joe Gacy and Cameron Grimes, he is a juggernaut in this ring. However, the Irish Ace knows even a juggernaut has its weaknesses. Will JD pick Bron apart and perform a beltectomy? Or will Bron break another would-be champion?

Bron walks out with a sledgehammer, and sees a box with “JD” on it. Bron SMASHES the box, then heads to the ring. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Bron wins betting against the ace.

JD and Bron circle while fans rally up. They tie up, JD goes after the bad arm but Bron shove shim away. JD grins but Bron says the shoulder’s just fine. They tie up again, Bron pushes JD back but JD puts Bron in the corner. JD pulls the arm against the ropes but the ref counts. JD let soff and Bron SLAPS him! Fans duel as JD grins and stares Bron down. JD and Bron reset and tie up again. Bron wrenches JD’s arm now, but JD spins and monkey flips him, but Bron holds on! Bron brings JD up but JD rolls, pushes Bron to ropes and arm-drags. But Bron holds on again! Bron shows he can be technical and fans rally up.

JD fights up, reaches for ropes but Born keeps him away. JD rolls, handsprings, snapmares and headlocks, but Bron slips out to have the wristlock! JD ROCKS Bron, but Bron headlocks back. JD powers out, Bron turns the dropdown into a gator roll and deadlift suplex! Bron walks around with JD before the SLAM! Fans fire up with Bron and he storms back up on JD. Bron whips JD into a corner, JD tumbles up and out, but Bron DECKS him! The ring count starts but Bron goes out after JD. JD gets in the ring but Bron avoids the elbow drop! Bron HOTSHOTS the arm, then he knuckle locks to STRAIGHT ARM LEVER!

Fans fire up as Bron carries JD around, then hammerlocks and OVERHEAD Belly2Belly suplexes! And then STANDING MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Bron is showing he can do whatever JD can do, and then he clamps onto the arm again. Born hammerlocks and RAMS JD into buckles. Fans rally up and duel as Bron drags JD back up. Bron has the hammerlock, then he whips JD, JD reverses but Bron ducks ‘n’ dodges. Bron staggers but he still comes back to LARIAT JD! Bron tosses JD out hard, then barks at JD as NXT goes picture in picture.

JD scowls as Bron eggs him on. Bron goes out after JD, smacks him off the apron, then brings JD around to smack off the apron again. Fans bark for Bron as he puts JD in, but JD bails out the side. Bron waits on JD as the ring count climbs. JD gets in the ropes and trips Bron up! Then SLINGSHOT SPLASHES! JD gets his arm moving, and he stalks Bron to a corner. JD CHOPS, stomps, ROCKS and then stalks Bron some more. JD brings Bron around to snap suplex! JD drags Bron up to throw down elbows into Bron’s head, then DECK him with a haymaker. JD wrenches the bad arm, CLUBS it, but Bron throws body shots!

Bron backs JD down, RAMS into him over and over, then hoists him up top. Bron climbs up as NXT returns to single picture, but JD slips out to trip Bron up! JD shoves Bron to the apron, climbs up the other side, and he turns Bron to NECKBREAKER against the crossbar! Bron falls to the floor and fans rally again. JD stalks Bron, brings him up but the ring count is 5 of 10. JD puts Bron in at 7, drives elbow after elbow into the shoulders from all sides! The fans are torn but JD lets off so the ref can check Bron. Bron is still in this somehow so JD drags Bron around. JD has a mounted armlock but Bron endures.

Fans rally and duel, Bron reaches out but JD puts more pressure on the arm. Bron pushes through and gets the ROPEBREAK! JD lets off in frustration but fans duel again. JD clamps onto Bron for a neck wrench, but Bron still endures. JD pushes on the head, but fans rally up and Bron stands up! JAWBREAKER! Bron ROCKS JD, and again, and again! Bron whips, JD reverses but Bron FLYING SHOULDER TACKLES! And again! And then a duck ‘n’ dodge, to a SPINEBUSTER! Fans fire up again as Bron snarls and aims from the corner. JD flounders up, Born runs in, but JD POSTS Bron! Then a wrench and a takedown, LEBELL LOCK!!

Bron endures as JD pulls back! Fans rally and duel, Bron reaches out, and JD can only use one arm as Bron did damage to him, too! Born gets the ROPEBREAK! JD lets off in frustration and fans continue to duel. JD drags Bron to a drop zone then he climbs up. But Bron CLUBS JD first! Bron climbs up after JD, SUPER STEINER! Cover, TWO!! Bron keeps cool and he goes to a corner to climb up again. But JD GAMANGIRIS back! JD sets Bron up, climbs up after him, but Bron resists the clinch! JD drags him up, SUPER SPANISH FLY!! Fans are thunderous as JD hits the BRAINBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!!

Bron survives and JD can’t believe it! JD storms to a corner and climbs up, to MOONSAUTL! But he has to roll through as Bron moves! SPEAR!! Bron crawls after JD but JD flops out of the ring! Fans rally as Bron puts JD back in and hurries to aim from the corner again. JD stands up, into another SPEAR!! But Bron doesn’t cover, he brings the straps down! Bron vows to break JD, but JD stands up!? JD has blood in his mouth but he’s smiling! Bron says fine! A THIRD SPEAR!! And then the trophy lift, to the BREAKKER SLAM! Cover, Bron wins!!

Winner: Bron Breakker, by pinfall (still NXT Champion)

JD welcomed that third tackle, but it ended up being his demise! Bron retains the title, but who will- Wait, what?! Is this… It is! TYLER BATE is back in the States! The fans are going nuts for the Big Strong Boy! And he goes right into the ring to look Bron eye to eye! The NXT UK Champion and the NXT Champion, in the same ring for the first time in a long time! Will worlds collide in the near future?


My Thoughts:

This was a very good special for NXT, with great matches all over the card, but Heatwave didn’t really shake anything up. I know I’ve said keeping the status quo isn’t always a bad thing, but in this case, it felt kinda bad. Melo VS Vinci was great, though maybe a little sloppy because they wanted to go as fast as possible. Melo winning was only because of Trick, so that was a bit of a sour taste. But Melo still has so many opponents to face so this is fine. Decent promo from Von & Stone, but I guess Von is downgrading from “Wagner’s World” to “Welcome to Wagner’s Jungle.” I have no idea where Von’s gonna go from here, in a bad way. He’s not championship material, so who’s his next feud?

Great segment out of the Diamond Mine confronting their dysfunction, and I figured it’d be Strong pointed out as the traitor. That was some amazing continuity to have it in the 8 Man Tag that Tony looked to Strong as if to signal something. But then just as Apollo saw, the Diamond Mine all gets attacked. Gallus coming to NXT is great, though I wonder if this means Mark Coffey loses the Heritage Cup to Noam Dar. Gallus also getting a shot at the NXT UK Tag Team Championships is a nice surprise, but I wonder which two are facing Briggs & Jensen. Assuming Gallus wins, I’d love if it was the Coffey Brothers. But if not, then it can be Mark & Wolfgang again, trying to be two-time winners.

Roxie VS Cora was very good, but I’m a little surprised Cora won. For one, we see the NXT Women’s Championship is still on a Heel. Also, why wasn’t the DDT onto the weapon a disqualification? If that thing was a chair, wouldn’t it have been a DQ? Whatever, Cora’s still been doing good work so it’s not like she doesn’t deserve some success. Tiffany and Wendy have a very good vignette to plug their match. They call it “Lights Out” but don’t expect that to be the same as what AEW does with their “Lights Out” matches. It’ll be great, but only at WWE levels of No DQ. And given there’s no disqualifications, it can probably go either way, though I personally hope Wendy wins.

Actually, a great example of WWE levels of violence versus AEW is the Street Fight between Escobar and Tony we got tonight. It was really more a Street Fight for the sake of allowing Stacks and Legado to get involved without disqualifying the match. It was still great storytelling, but it was more chaos than destruction. Escobar loses because he’s being called-up, and who knows where Legado goes from here since they’re still under Tony. We got a nice promo segment with Indi and KC Squared, and I appreciate that Indi got a love letter from Dexter now that he’s back. But what a surprise that Blair Davenport, who is supposed to be fighting her way to the NXT UK Women’s Championship is here. Maybe Blair beats Indi to send Indi off to Raw?

Good introduction to Quincy Elliot here for the mainstream audience, but those who have been watching Level Up are probably already familiar with Quincy’s work. I’m sure Quincy can go in the ring, so it’s just a matter of how stories go and if Quincy can deliver on his character. Good promo from Waller to call Apollo out, and they’ll have a very good match, but I wonder where they’re going with this. Great match out of Mandy VS Zoey, but I had a feeling that after RawDown got the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship tournament going and how they mentioned Zoey and Lyons are part of that, Zoey wasn’t going to win here. Mandy at least did it in a more clever way than usual. I don’t think anyone else has thought to wear their opponent’s brace and use it against them like that.

And we got a great match out of Bron and JD, but I’m a little surprised Bron won here. I’m also a little surprised how Bron won, where JD just let Bron hit him again. This is not really the Jordan Devlin in NXT UK, he would’ve used that to sucker Bron in, not just let Bron hit him again. But Bron retains, and we got a great surprise, that was then ruined by a massive spoiler. NXT UK isn’t even in the middle of their vacated championship tournament, they’re at the BEGINNING of it, and we see now that Tyler Bate is a two-time UK Champion! That’s awesome for Tyler but this is a big letdown for all of us fans who are still watching NXT UK! The only silver lining to this spoiler is that Worlds Collide might return to give us NXT VS NXT UK, Champions VS Champions.

My Score: 8.2/10

WWE Evolve Championship Play-In Triple Threat: Jackson Drake VS Lince Dorado VS Jordan Oasis!

With just one spot left in the men’s Fatal 4 Way Elimination match, this is the only way any of these men is getting a golden opportunity! But will the Carolina Reaper represent the Vanity Project in the title match? Will the Golden Lynx’s return to WWE be truly golden? Or will the Nomad finally find a place to belong in Evolve’s title scene?

The bell rings and the three feel out knuckle locks. But Drake kicks Oasis, ROCKS Lince, then CHOPS Oasis! Drake CLUBS Lince, stomps away in the corner, but Oasis CLUBS Drake! Oasis back suplexes but Drake lands out. Drake RAMS low, TOSSES Oasis, and SNAP POWERSLAMS Lince! Drake goes to the apron, PENALTY KICKS Oasis, and he goes up the corner! Lince stands, into the AX HANDLE! Cover, Oasis CHOPS it apart! Oasis UPPERCUTS Drake, ROCKS him with a forearm, then whips him to ropes. Drake RANAS, but Oasis sunset flips through! Cover, Lince breaks it! Lince dumps Drake out then brings Oasis up.

Lince UPPERCUTS and CHOPS, then whips, only for Oasis to reverse, scoop, and BACKBREAKER! Oasis shoves Lince, and then goes Matrix with a twist to dodge Drake’s boot! CHOP BLOCK! The fans rally as Oasis gut wrenches for a GUT BUSTER! Drake sputters, Oasis covers, TWO! Drake toughs it out and Vanity coaches him up. Drake shoves Oasis but Oasis keeps on Drake with a forearm and a CHOP! Oasis whips corner to corner, Drake slides, Lince leaps to FLYING RANA Oasis! Drake CLUBS Lince, whips, but Lince reverses to SOBAT! KICK! Drake blocks a kick, FLIPS Lince, but Lince lands out! Oasis grabs Lince, but Lince dodges Drake, and Drake ROCKS Oasis!

Lince CHOPS Drake, CHOPS Oasis, but Drake kicks Lince! Oasis CHOPS Lince, he and Drake double whip, but Lince handsprings to DOUBLE STUNNER! Drake falls, Oasis wobbles, Lince hits a BACKSTABBER SENTON COMBO! Oasis tumbles away and Lince covers Drake, TWO! Drake is still in this and he goes for a corner.

Cover, Drake wins!

Winner: Jackson Drake, by pinfall (advances to the WWE Evolve Championship Fatal 4 Way)

Vanity Project celebrates with #HeartbreakDrake, though they did have a hand in the victory. Will Drake be the true Wild Card of that Fatal 4 Way Elimination match? Or will not even his friends help him survive Edris Enofe, Keanu Carver and “Super” Sean Legacy?

 

Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont talk backstage.

Ty & Ty are ready for their match tonight against Cappuccino Jones & Jack Cartwheel, but Tyson knows those two are the quickest and most exciting team on Evolve. Tyriek says sure, but they’re not the most explosive, that’s them! It’ll be speed VS power, and they’ll find out that it doesn’t matter how fast you’re going when you run into a brick wall. Cartwheel, Cappuccino, speed only beats power when you apply that pressure, and their pressure will knock you out! Ty & Ty are fired up now, will they bring down the house on Cappuccino & Cartwheel? Or will C & C be able to leap over that High Ryze?

 

It’s Gal speaks.

The Real-Life Action Figure is poolside as he says, “This is the life of It’s Gal! After my pool and gym routine, the abs are flexing, the quads are quading, the pecs, oh, they’re popping. And now, it’s time to catch some rays. But I can’t fully enjoy my fun in the sun because of this Gal wannabe, Troy Yearwood. Everyone in WWE Evolve says you have the body of an Adonis, the best physique in Evolve. Are they blind? Lemme tell you who has the best physique in Evolve. It’s Gal, it’s Gal, it’s Gal! Standing here at 5% body fat, looking like a million bucks right now.

“So Mr. All ACC hammer throw star, this is your first and final warning. You better stay outta my way, because when you’re in Mint Condition, there is no competition, dummy!” Gal may be 5% body fat but he’s 110% ego. Will he be humbled should he have a run-in with the LFG star?

 

Jackson Drake speaks.

Apparently the Carolina Reaper has still been in the ring this whole time…? He interrupts Robert Stone & Pete Rosenberg, and says the fans would rather here “Daddy” speak. “Week after week after week, myself, Zayda Steel, Bryce Donovan, Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes prove that the Vanity Project is the hottest thing going on WWE Evolve, in more ways than one!” Fans boo, but Drake says guess what? They’re just getting started! Because Drake will bring that drip to Vanity Project when he wins the WWE Evolve Championship! But wait, here comes Edris Enofe! The fans cheer as the Epitome of Excellence speaks now.

“Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake. Hey, Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake, Mr. Drake. I just find it funny… Actually, I find it hilarious that you can stand there and call yourself the hottest thing going on Evolve, especially when you got a guy like me, the EOE, the Epitome of Excellence, standing here right now!” The fans cheer on “E O E! E O E!” and Drake mockingly applauds. Edris says next week, that is a moment he has been waiting for, for a very, very long time. The fans know that he has worked his ass off, grinding for four years, to let this slip through his fingers! So if Drake wants that title, well bad news. Drake goes home empty handed, as that title goes around the waist of Edris Enofe!

Wait, here comes “Super Sean!” Sean Legacy has his own mic to say okay, okay. A couple weeks ago, Vanity Project wanted Lexis King to make sure Legacy didn’t compete in the Fatal 4 Way. And Legacy will make no excuses, Lexis King was the better man that night. But as you can see, Legacy is still standing! The fans cheer that, and Legacy joins the others in the ring. Legacy tells Edris that he respects the journey, and Edris coming back from injury. Four YEARS of grind, but Legacy has been at it for EIGHT! Legacy has been working his way up the food chain to create his legacy. And that starts now!

Because next week, the person standing with THE WWE Evolve Championship above his head will be Legacy. Because he will show the WWE Universe why Sean Legacy will always be SUPER! Drake says yeah, yeah, well, he’s super tired of listening to them. Drake says neither of them are qualified, there is nobody in this match qualified like Drake. Drake drops the mic, exits the ring, but bumps into Keanu Carver! Drake forgot about the big man, and then he finds himself surrounded! Edris ROCKS Drake, Legacy ROCKS Drake, and Keanu DECKS Drake! Refs rush out to stop it here, but all four men will be let loose next week! Who will be the last one standing with the title?

 

Backstage interview with Cappuccino Jones & Jack Cartwheel.

Chuey Martinez is with the most energetic team in Evolve, and says tonight, they go up against a pair of powerhouses. How will they handle that beef? Jones says the pot is hot and extra large. But you can’t hit what you can’t catch. Jack says it is their speed against Ty & Ty’s power. But it is simple physics of momentum and leverage. They can stick ‘n’ move! They’ve got a triple shot of energy ready to hit Tyriek & Tyson in the mouth. Cappuccino & Cartwheel are gonna turn Evolve on its head! They are fired up now and head out, will they be able to blow right past the High Ryze? Or will they get blown up by that TNT?

 

Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont VS Cappuccino Jones & Jack Cartwheel!

Evolve returns as the teams make their entrance. The teams sort out and Cartwheel starts against Tyriek. Tyriek pokes fun at Jack’s height, then they tie up. Tyriek shoves Jack down, but Jack kips back up! The fans cheer, the two tie up again, and Tyriek shoves, but Jack cartwheels through! Jack then cartwheels to dodge and Tyriek hits buckles! Jack RAMS shoulders again and again, but Tyriek ROCKS Jack! Tyriek tags Tyson, then feeds Jack to the SIDEWALK SLAM! Tyson taunts Cappuccino, runs up on Jack, but Jack dodges! Tyson hits buckles and Jack headlocks. Tyson powers out, Jones tags in! Jack trips Tyson and Jones basement DROPKICKS!

Cappuccino & Cartwheel DOUBLE LARIAT Tyson out of the ring! Then they build speed, but Wes Lee is here! He gets his guys together to talk this out. Ty & Ty refocus and go back to the ring. Tyriek distracts so Tyson can CLOBBER Cappuccino Jones! Tyson rains down fists, and he tags in Tyriek. Feed to the scoop and the SLAM! Tyriek talks smack on Jack, stomps Jones down, then stands on him! Tyrike pulls Jones’ hair, Wes likes what he sees, but the ref reprimands. The fans rally for Jones as Tyriek lets off. Jones rises to fire hands! Tyriek KNEES low, whips him to the corner, and he RAMS Jones!

Tyson tags in, he runs up, and he SPLASHES Jones! The fans boo but Tyriek tags back in. Tyriek takes off his belt, runs up, but Jones dodges! Tyriek POSTS himself and knocks Tyson down at the same time! Jones rolls Tyriek up, TWO!! ENZIGIRI! Tyriek sputters, Jones crawls, and the fans rally up! Tyriek swings, misses, hot tag to Jack! Jack dodges Tyriek, BLASTS Tyson, then cartwheels to LARIAT! And tilt-o-whirl RANA! Handspring and BACK ELBOW! Jack reels Tyriek in, KICKS Tyson and TORNADO DDTS in one go! Jack then handsprings to FOSBURY FLOP! Down goes Tyson, and Jack hurries up top!

Wes is annoyed as Jack FLYING CARTWHEELS! Cover, Tyson breaks it! Jones is up and he ROCKS Tyson! Jack SUPERKICKS Tyson, then he and Jones DOUBLE DROPKICK! Tyson flops out, Tyriek runs up, and Jack rolls Jones out of the way! The BOOT hits Jack! Tyson drags Jones out of the ring to UPPERCUT! Tyriek facelocks Jack, tags Tyson, and then the SLAM DUNK SAIDO!! Cover, Ty & Ty win!

Winners: Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont, by pinfall

It went down just as they said, T&T blows up C&C! Will NXT and Evolve soon belong to the High Ryze?

 

Stevie Turner signs a new star to the roster!

The Prime Minister assures the new recruit that Evolve is the most exciting, fastest growing brand. She welcomes Jin Tala to the already deep women’s roster. Jin thanks Stevie for this opportunity, and is ready to shake up the women’s division. Stevie says she looks forward to it. Jin signs on the dotted line, but now Carlee Bright walks in. Carlee heard Stevie wanted to meet with her, and Stevie says yes. We all know Carlee is Kendal’s best friend, but tonight, there needs to be on one else ringside. This Fatal 4 Way has to be just about the four in the match.

Carlee says she gets it, that is absolutely fair. Stevie also helps make introductions between Carlee and Jin, and says they will be opponents on next week’s episode. Carlee and Jin shake hands, and Carlee says, “May the best woman win.” Will Jin prove she’s ready to Evolve?

 

Natalya is backstage!

Evolve Media catches up with the Queen of Harts, and asks what The BOAT is doing here. Natty says she’s going to be not only watching tonight’s main event title match, but she will have the honor of presenting the WWE Women’s Evolve Championship to the winner. It is a very cool moment, she is excited to be here, this is going to be a wonderful night. Natty heads out, who will she have the honor of handing the title to?

 

High Ryze regroups backstage.

Wes says that is what he is talking about! Tyriek says that’s what they told everyone earlier! Power beats speed, every time! Tyson says you gotta admit, though. Jones & Jack are fast. But when you train with the fastest, those boys don’t stand a chance. Wes says they’re making him blush. But his boys have been making a ruckus here on Evolve, so he had to turn up and see what all the noise was about. Jones & Cartwheel have potential. But potential doesn’t measure up here. Tyson says they haven’t heard the last of Jones & Cartwheel, but Wes says that’s fine, they can come see him about it. The High Ryze is feeling good, but will Wes put a punctuation on what we saw tonight?

 

WWE Women’s Evolve Championship Fatal 4 Way Elimination Match: Kali Armstrong VS Kendal Grey VS Wendy Choo VS Kylie Rae!

This is the moment of truth! Three months ago, WWE brought Evolve into the fold, and this new generation of superstars began their journey. These four standouts now stand across from each other, and only the last one left will become a champion! Will it be The Difference Maker, Grappler Grey, Wicked Wendy, or Smiley Kylie that is crowned the INAUGURAL WWE Evolve Women’s Champion?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who has their moment!

The bell rings and the fans rally. Kali RAMS Kendal, Kylie and Wendy brawl, and Kendal comes back to TACKLE Kali! Kylie and Wendy scrap all the way to the outside while Kendal fires shots on Kali in the corner. Kali shoves Kendal, CLOBBERS Kendal, then builds speed, but Wendy trips her up! Wendy drags Kali out, now Kali brawls with Wendy and Kylie, but Kendal builds speed! Kendal DIVES onto all three! The fans fire up and Kendal shoves Kylie into the ring. Kendal KNEES Kylie down, covers, TWO! Kali is back and ROCKS Kendal! Kali BOOTS Kylie, whips Kendal, but Kendal goes up! Kylie ROCKS Kali and Kendal CROSSBODIES onto Kylie! Cover, TWO!

The fans rally, Kali DOUBLE LARIATS Kylie & Kendal! Kali drags Kylie up to kick low and back suplex! Kali ROCKS Kendal, and gives her a back suplex, only for Kendal to land out! Kendal waistlocks Kali, Wendy waistlocks Kylie, they RAM Kendal and Kylie into each other! Stereo O’Conner Rolls! The ref counts both, TWO! Kendal CROSSBODIES Wendy! Cover, TWO! Kylie covers Wendy, TWO! Kali covers Wendy, TWO! Wendy LARIATS Kendal! Wendy snarls, Kylie & Kali double kick and double suplex! Wendy DOUBLE CRADLES! TWO!! Kali & Kylie escape, Kendal ROCKS Wendy! Kali BOOTS Wendy! Kylie DECKS Wendy!

Wendy just rises and the fans go nuts! Wendy fires off hands on everybody! Wendy cravats Kali and Kylie, BOOTS Kendal, and uses that to DOUBLE SLICED BREAD! The fans fire up and Wendy runs in at Kendal! Handspring FOREARM! GAMANGIRI for Kali! But Kylie puts Wendy on the apron! Wendy UPPERCUTS Kylie, goes up, and CROSSBODIES! Kylie gets free, Kendal CLOBBERS Wendy! KALI CONNECTION!! Wendy still rises?! Kylie SUPERKICKS her down! Cover, Kylie ELIMINATES Wendy!! A team effort gives Kylie a semblance of revenge and the fans cheer. Kylie sees the others rising up, and Evolve goes to break.

Evolve returns and Kali has Kendal in a corner for stomps! The ref counts, Kali lets off, and she runs up on Kylie. Kylie puts her in the corner, SPLASHES, then sits Kali down. Kylie runs and CANNONBALLS! Kylie keeps moving and CANNONBALLS Kendal! The fans rally, Kylie covers, TWO! Kendal toughs it out but Kylie hurries to bring her in. Kali runs up, Kylie dodges, and then she and Kendal double mule kick! They work together, but Kali blocks the double suplex to DOUBLE SUPLEX! The fans fire up and Kali is on Kylie. Kali puts her in a corner, then puts Kendal in another. Kali RAMS Kendal, RAMS Kylie, but then Kendal KNEES Kali!

Kali still comes back but Kendal BOOTS her down! Kendal climbs but Kylie CLUBS Kendal! Kylie climbs up, Kendal fights the suplex, but Kali Electric Chair Lifts! Kylie victory rolls it, TWO! Kendal QUEBRADAS! Double cover, TWO!! Kylie and Kali survives, but Kendal waits in them. Kendal rallies with a LARIAT for Kali and an ELBOW for Kylie! Fireman’s carry takeover after takeover, and Kendal whips Kylie. Kylie reveres but Kendal goes up to FLYING SHOULDER! Kali is up, Kendal dodges, OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! The fans fire up, the straps come down, and Kendal wrenches Kali to the ARMBAR TAKEDOWN!

The fans fire up as Kali endures! Kali clasps hands, but Kendal pries those apart! Kylie ghost pins Kendal, AND ELIMINATES HER!! Everyone is shocked, even Kylie! But now it comes down to the veteran from the indies and the rising star from Inglewood! Kylie covers, TWO, but she rains down fists! Kylie covers, TWO! Kylie stomps away on Kali, covers again, TWO! Kali is still in this but Kylie roars! Kylie storms up but Kali fires body shots. Kali kicks low, reels Kylie in, and Kali suplexes, but Kylie slips free! SOBAT, Kylie runs, CRUCIFIX DRIVER! Cover, TWO!! Kali survives but Kylie just goes up top!

Kali staggers around, but she springs up to get Kylie! SUPER BELLY2BELLY! The fans fire up as Kali builds speed, for the KALI CON- NO! Kylie has the CROSSFACE!!! Kylie has Kali down and the fans are thunderous! Kali fights around, reaches out, and she powers up! Kali fireman’s carries and the fans cheer! Kylie slips free, shoves, but Kali blocks the kick to whip! Scoop and POWER- CRADLE!! TWO!! Kali escapes, but Kylie has the CROSSFACE! Roll to a cover, TWO! Kylie is up, Kali scoops her again, POWERSLAM! The fans rally up and Kali roars! Kali builds speed, for the KALI CONNECTION!!! Kali covers, KALI WINS!

Winner: Kali Armstrong, by pinfall (INAUGURAL WWE Evolve Women’s Champion)

The Difference Maker promised everyone that her name would go down in the history books, and that promise has been fulfilled! Natalya brings the belt to Kali, but Kali kinda snatches it away with some attitude. Kali wants to be an inspiration but she’s got a bit of an ego, will she simply just get hers #StraightLikeThat and leave everyone else in the dust?


My Thoughts:

A great Evolve here, even with expected outcomes. I will say they surprised me by making the final two Kali and Kylie, not Kali and Kendal, who have had their rivalry going since episode one. But perhaps Kendal will be Kali’s first challenger to really add to the feud. Kylie and Wendy also aren’t done, even with Kylie pinning Wendy to eliminate her. In fact, that’s wild that Kylie did the work of eliminating the others for Kali to win out… But at the same time, Kylie and Wendy can feud, maybe name the winner of the blowoff a contender, as well.

Very good tag match stuff with The High Ryze VS Cappuccino & Cartwheel, and I like Wes showing up to support his guys. Wes VS Cartwheel will be awesome stuff, as well as Wes VS Cappuccino, and I suppose a third man might present himself so that we get a Six Man Tag for the full High Ryze faction to be in action together. Good promo from It’s Gal, and obviously a match of Gal VS Yearwood is coming. Gal is definitely the Heel who gets humbled, so Yearwood will get a great win. And good seeing more LFG stars signing up with Evolve, Jin Tala (Leigh Laurel from LFG) will have a good match with Carlee and certainly a good win.

Very good Triple Threat from Drake, Dorado and Oasis, and I figured Drake would win to join the Fatal 4 Way. Vanity Project needs somebody in that match if they’re to start dominating Evolve like they claim. But at the same time, very fitting that Drake gets humbled a bit by the other three contenders. That Fatal 4 is a bit harder to read, but Edris sadly feels like the fourth likely. His recovery and return makes a great story, but it just seems too soon for him to grab that title. Meanwhile, Keanu is just a beast, he’d be a fitting parallel to Kali as she’s a powerhouse of a first champion. And Super Sean has a North American Championship match, it’d be fitting to make it Champion VS Champion.

My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!

He welcomes us to Dynamite tonight in El Paso, and he welcomes out the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner, Hangman Adam Page! The fans fire up as The Blackhat Cowboy walks out, King of Harts belt around his waist, and Schiavone brings up the great response from the fans. Hangman won The Owen in a dramatic classic on Sunday. The fans cheer, “You Deserve It!” as Hangman takes the mic. Hangman says, “Triumph. Triumph in life is fleeting, it’s momentary. You’re on top of the world for the night, and you wake up in the morning, and the moment you realize has passed you. But so is defeat.

“And in the past two years, and if I’m completely honest with myself, in the past three years, that is something that I let myself lose sight of. Because what matters is not the win, it is not the loss, it is what you decide to do with it that matters!” The fans cheer that! Hangman says at Double or nothing, two men entered the ring, and they both knew one would leave defeated. So before Hangman continues, he will say this to Will Ospreay. “Thank you. Thank you for the fight of my life! Thank you for reminding me why I decided to do this in the first place! And thank you for dispelling any notion that i had that you could not be the type of man to carry this company forward, because you can be!”

The fans cheer and chant for “Ospreay! Ospreay!” Hangman then says, while one tasted defeat, the other would taste victory. But he cannot relish in it! This moment is temporary and fleeting. Hangman will not hold this title, carry it or defend it. There will be another Owen Hart Cup, there will be another King of Harts. For now, Hangman returns this belt to AEW. Schiavone takes custody of the belt, and Hangman says he could stay out here all night and tell you how much this all truly means to him. But now, he must look forward to the one thing that for him, this has always been about: THE AEW World Championship!

The fans cheer that, and Hangman says that title has been the prize, the accomplishment, and the responsibility he has chased from the very moment we saw these three letters together for the first time. The fans chant “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Hangman says for seven MONTHS, that title has been hidden from the world, locked away in a briefcase. The fans boo, but Hangman says to him, that title was to be a shining light! A beacon to show the world what these three letters meant! It was about competition! About creativity! Compassion! Passion! And human dignity with which we all treat each other! That is what this is about!

The fans cheer more, and Hangman says on his first day in AEW, he told all of us, both here tonight and watching at home, that while he was here, we would be his boss. Tonight, he makes a promise. In seven weeks, here in Texas, Hangman will win the AEW World Championship! He will free it from the briefcase! He will hold it above his head for all the world to see! He will carry it and defend it with every ounce of his being, and that is a promise he will keep! But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Hangman is stunned, but here comes The Realest! Swerve steps into the ring to stare Hangman down, and Schiavone steps aside.

Swerve says, “I bet you wanna know why I’m here. So allow me to educate you and the fine people of El Paso, Texas why I’m here.” Swerve signals to the tron, and we flashback to April 9th of this year. Nick Jackson was explaining why The Young Bucks went and cost Swerve Strickland the AEW World Championship. They did it for their “good friend,” Hangman Page! Hangman wanted this! Swerve could not be world champion again, and The Bucks did that for him! They do not forget who their friends are! They love him, and they know he loves them. The fans boo and Swerve says he was looking at the same opportunity Hangman conveniently has now.

At Dynasty, the main event, Swerve had Moxley, he had the match won! And then so conveniently, The Bucks show up, who Swerve hadn’t bothered with since Blood & Guts, and they cost Swerve. But y’know who else was in the ring that night? Hangman Page. It is so funny how Hangman has his path to the title off Swerve’s loss. Swerve calls collusion! Hangman wants to make promises to the people of Texas? Let’s talk about a promise Hangman made. Hangman told Swerve to his face, in front of the world, that Hangman would never let Swerve be AEW World Champion again.

So Swerve is here now, staring Hangman down man to man, and he will ask Hangman, so don’t lie to him. Did Hangman do this? The fans chant “Tell The Truth! Tell The Truth!” Hangman says, “Well, dumbass… At Dynasty, I locked my eyes on you. Then I locked my eyes on Jon Moxley. And for one God forsaken second, I even thought about helping you. Swerve, if I had wanted to cost you that match, I would have done it myself to your face, because I have done it before.” The fans are torn, but Swerve says, “Sounds good, but you’re still full of sh*t.” The two jaw at each other while the fans rally up, but here comes Ospreay!

The fans cheer as the Aerial Assassin makes his way to the ring, and he has Swerve and Hangman back up. The fans are losing their minds seeing all three guys together. Ospreay borrows Swerve’s mic, and he looks to Hangman. The fans chant “BRUV! BRUV!” Ospreay then looks to Swerve, and Ospreay says he hates getting involved in Swerve’s business. Swerve has looked after Ospreay since he was 20 years old, he’s like a big brother. “But you’re wrong about him.” Ospreay defends Hangman, saying you learn a lot about someone getting in the ring with them when the stakes are high. And stakes couldn’t get any higher on Sunday.

On Sunday, Ospreay left it all in the ring with Hangman, and he has never felt more defeated in his entire life. Hangman had an important decision to make. He walked up the ramp, turned back, picked Ospreay up, and he shook Ospreay’s hand like a man. Ospreay looked in Hangman’s eyes, and he could see that Hangman cares about AEW. It is funny, because Ospreay had that same feeling when he lost to Swerve last year and then did the same thing. Swerve picked Ospreay up. Look around. The fans cheer, and Ospreay tells them both, “People are starting to believe in us again. I hate saying this to you, because I love you… But it is not you. I thought it was me, and it’s not me. It’s HIM!”

The fans cheer, and Ospreay wants Swerve to look at him. They have one shot at this. And they can make this easier on Hangman if they all work together. Swerve, Ospreay, Hangman- Swerve SLAPS the mic down! Ospreay wants Swerve to calm it down but Swerve says he will never work with Hangman, never trust Hangman, and never forgive Hangman! Swerve storms off and Ospreay is disappointed. The fans boo, but Ospreay tells Hangman to let that go. Hangman says he will work with Ospreay, but he will not work with Swerve either. Hangman storms off now, but will these bitter enemies ever realize this is bigger than them?

 

The Death Riders arrive.

Claudio parks the truck, and everybody spills out of the back. Moxley leads the way for Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and even Gabe Kidd. Moxley says, “Welcome to Dynamite.” They step into the building, find their way to the crowd, and they’re ready to redeem themselves from losing Anarchy in the Arena. But will they tear up Swerve’s allies to send a message? Or will this conglomeration come out on top?

Mixed Six Tag: Gabe Kidd, Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir VS Mark Briscoe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Willow Nightingale!

The trios sort out and the War Dog for hire starts against the Sussex County Chicken. The bell rings and the two run to DOUBLE LARIAT! They fire forearms back and forth, Gabe fires haymakers, but Briscoe gives those back! The fans fire up, Briscoe CHOPS, but Gabe CHOPS! The CHOPS keep going, then Gabe ROCKS Briscoe! Briscoe fires back with a flurry, but Gabe RAMS him into the corner! Speedball & Willow rush in, Moxley & Marina intercept, and the fans fire up as there’s brawling all over the place! Moxley DECKS Bailey, Marina KNEES away on Willow then TOSESS her! Moxley keeps after Bailey but Bailey hits back.

Marina and Willow keep fighting on the outside while Bailey KICKS Moxley against barriers. JUMP KICK! Willow digs her boot into Marina’s face! Gabe talks trash, but fans count along as Bailey rains down TEN punches on Moxley! Gabe whips Mark, Mark goes up and out to ROCK Gabe, RAM low, and then HOTSHOT! Gabe tumbles out to the floor, Briscoe is back in, and Bailey hands him a chair! The fans fire up as the chair is set up, and Briscoe shouts out to Sabu! TRIPLE JUMP DIVE onto the Death Riders! The fans fire up and Briscoe high fives the front row while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Briscoe high fives with Bailey and Willow, then goes back for Gabe. Briscoe CLAWS Gabe’s face, the ref sorts everyone else out, but Bailey sends Moxley into railing! Briscoe BITES Gabe on the forehead, then UPPERCUTS! Gabe flounders into the ring and Briscoe follows. Briscoe stands Gabe up to ROCK him with a right, and then he stomps Gabe into the corner. The ref counts, Briscoe steps off at 4, then he drags Gabe up. Briscoe tags Willow, they double whip Gabe and DOUBLE HIP TOSS! Willow flexes, then tags Bailey.

Bailey stays on Gabe, brings him over, and he tags Briscoe. Briscoe UPPERCUTS Gabe, then CHOPS! Briscoe whips, Gabe reverses, and Moxley gets a cheap shot in! Gabe clinches for an EXPLODER!

They run up, Moxley blocks a kick to shove Bailey down, but Bailey rolls back to stand up. SUPERKICK!

Bailey goes up while Moxley falls down! But Yuta slides in a chair, that distracts the ref, and that lets Yuta SHOVE Bailey to the floor! The fans boo, but Gabe whips Bailey hard into railing! Gabe says this is for those who wanna mess with the Death Riders! Torture rack SLAM down through a table! “I’M A MAD MAN, YOU KNOW!” The fans lose their minds, but Dynamite goes back to picture in picture!

Marina drags Willow down and CHOPS away on her! Moxley CLOBBERS Briscoe, and Gabe soaks up the heat. Moxley TOSSES Briscoe over barriers! The Death Riders soak up more heat while Briscoe drags himself back over barriers and Bailey drags himself from the wreckage. Moxley and Gabe both taunt the fans while the ring count climbs. Bailey is still down past 5 of 10, but he flounders and makes his way up. Bailey is in at 9! Moxley is furious and shouts at the fans. Moxley drags Bailey up, reels him in, and soaks up heat as he suplexes, for the X PLEX! Tag to Gabe and he talks trash while Dynamite goes to break.

Gabe drags Bailey up, we see Kris Statlander watching this, and Bailey BACKDROPS Gabe! Gabe tries to sunset flip it, but Bailey stays up! Bailey breaks Gabe’s grip to MOONSAULT KNEE DROP! The fans fire up while both Gabe and Bailey crawl! Hot tag to Briscoe! Briscoe dodges Moxley, ROCKS Gabe, then CHOPS Moxley! Briscoe fires off on them both, but Moxley waistlocks. Briscoe BOOTS Gabe, PELES Moxley, then clinches Gabe. Gabe fights free and reels Briscoe in.

Gabe CHOPS and HEADBUTTS on repeat! Gabe goes corner to corner, but Briscoe dodges! EXPLODER! The fans fire up as Gabe tumbles out, and Briscoe WRECKS him with a dropkick! Briscoe then CANNONBALLS onto Moxley! Willow CANNONBALLS Marina! Bailey is back and he TRIANGLE JUMP MOONSAULTS! Bailey takes out Gabe and Moxley! Briscoe goes up as Bailey puts Gabe in.

PROGRAMMING NOTE for Collision!

This Saturday, May 31st, Collision will air coast to coast on TNT at 8 PM Eastern, OR immediately following NBA Playoffs Game 6, but you can always stream on HBO Max!

 

The Hurt Syndicate speaks.

MVP says, “Tonight was not just a momentous occasion, it was a historical occasion, because two things happened tonight. This was the fifth consecutive, successful title defense of the AEW Tag Team Championships, and the debut of the young genius, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, as a full-fledged member of the Hurt Syndicate.” MJF says, “Bobby & Shelton are the most dominate tag team in the world today. Think of any top tag team in this sport, anyone, they’d beat ’em clean, easy. These belts ain’t going nowhere. Now that I am in the Hurt Syndicate, I am gonna make sure of that. And the Syndicate, we roll together, so we’re all collectively going to make sure we’re all strapped in gold.

“As far as my Triple B goes, my Big Beautiful Belt, my AEW World title is concerned, it will soon be around my waist. And if you find yourself in between the Hurt Syndicate and our goals, don’t be surprised if you wake up face down in a pool of your own piss and blood. But hey, man, when it comes to the Syndicate, it ain’t personal. It’s just business.” They all fist bump, but who will be next to step up and get stepped on?

 

Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.

The Superbad Girl says Anna Jay & Harley Cameron had to cheat to beat them on Sunday. Tonight, it is NO DISQUALIFICATIONS, just like Anna & Harley have always wanted. The Megasus says that means they are her next sacrifice. Will the path of destruction only be more destructive now that Megan doesn’t have to hold back?

 

Ricochet speaks.

The One & Only says, “I had told that everybody after Double or Nothing, after I had laid wasted to Mark Briscoe, I would continue my quest for gold. A quest that I have been on since day one here in AEW. But I stopped, and I take a second, and I look around AEW, and I get the lay of the land, and I start to see the landscape for what it actually is. I see the Death Riders, I see The Opps, I see the Don Callis Family, I see the Hurt Syndicate, and I think to myself… Ricochet needs a group. Ricochet needs a crew. Ricochet needs some loyal subjects that will follow and help him on his quest for gold.

“And once I do, once I find the perfect crew, then I will continue to show everybody why Ricochet is simply Outta This World. AHA~!”

 

No Disqualification Tag: Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!

For those who watched the Double or Nothing Buy-In, what part of that tag match did Harley & Anna “cheat” to win? Perhaps the Megasus & Superbad Girl don’t want to admit they got outsmarted by the Queenslayer & Wild Aussie. But now there will be no excuses because there is no such thing as cheating in a No Disqualifications match! Will Anna & Harley be the stars of the show after going all out? Or will they be made to #BowDown?

Megan & Ford come prepared with a trash can, its lid, and a golden steel chair! But Anna & Harley are ready to ride as a couple cowgirls armed with two-by-four and steel pipe! The fans fire up as they rush the ring, and while Ford grabs at the wood, Anna trips her up! Harley slides in but Megan BOOTS her down! The bell rings and this essentially Texas Tornado gets spinning! Megan SLAMS Harley down, Anna sends Ford into railing, and Anna brings out chairs! Megan CHOPS Harley, RAMS her in the corner again and again, and grabs one of those chairs. Ford ROCKS Anna, Megan wedges a chair into the corner, and Ford CHOPS Anna.

El Paso wants tables but Ford whips Anna into railing! Anna falls, Megan sits Harley up in the corner, and Megan runs up, only for Harley to move! Megan’s CANNONBALL hits the chair! Harley & Anna mug Ford, then DDT her on the trash can lid! The fans fire up, Harley covers, but Megan breaks it! Megan stalks Harley, but Anna has her wood! Anna SMACKS Megan, but Megan doesn’t even flinch. Megan stares Anna down, the fans tell Anna she messed up, but Harley has her pipe! Harley CLUBS Megan and that was certainly felt! Anna grabs a chair and she SMACKS Megan! Harley PIPES Megan, Anna SMACKS Megan, repeat!

The fans fire up as Megan is just a giant pinball between those brutal flippers, but she gets pissed! Megan dodges H&A to DOUBLE LARIAT! The fans fire up as Megan then goes for her golden chair! Megan sits it up at center, drags Harley up, and she reels her in! But Harley slips out of the suplex! Harley drop toeholds Megan on the chair, Anna SHOTGUNS Megan down! The fans fire up, Anna covers, but Ford breaks it! Harley has Ford for a KNEE down low! Anna has a chair of her own, sets that down, and Harley lines up the shot. Anna runs, they give Ford a form of BOOT CAMP! Cover, TWO!! Ford survives but Anna & Harley go outside.

The fans rally as they go looking, and yes, they bring out a TABLE! The fans fire up as Anna & Harley stand the table up nearby, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Anna & Harley go back into the ring, but Megan is there to clinch Anna! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Ford goes Matrix to dodge Harley, and hits the CUTTER! Ford puts Harley in a corner for the HANDSPRING BACK ELBOW! Megan runs up to add a STINGER SPLASH! Ford picks up the trash can, puts it around Harley, and Megan sends her back in. SHOTGUN to the trash can! Ford drags Harley to a cover, TWO! Harley survives and Ford is frustrated. Ford dribbles Harley, Megan goes looking for things, and she brings out another table! Ford helps Megan set that up in the ring, propping it up in the corner.

Megan storms up on Anna, CLUBS her, then fireman’s carries. Megan runs at the table, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER through the table!! Megan drags Anna to a cover, HARLEY BREAKS IT! Ford is furious and she goes after Harley! Ford fireman’s carries, but Harley slips free to wrench and NECKBREAKER! Cover, Megan deadlifts Harley for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Megan huffs ‘n’ puffs and drags Harley over to the ropes. Megan scrubs Harley’s face with her boot, then soaks up heat. Megan brings Harley over, puts her on the apron, then goes out as Dynamite returns to single picture. The fans fire up already as Megan aims for the table!

Harley fights the urenage and throws elbows! Harley kicks low, SUNSET FLIP, but Megan holds on! Anna ROCKS Megan! Megan shakes her head as she holds on, but Anna ROCKS her again! Ford is up, armed with golden chair, but Anna BOOTS her first! Anna has the chair to SMACK Ford down! Then she SMACKS Megan in the face! Harley POWERBOMBS Megan down through the table!! The fans are thunderous and Anna is all fired up! But Ford runs up to BOOT Anna! Ford fireman’s carries, and GUT BUSTER DROPS Anna! Ford takes a chair, puts it under Anna, then STANDING MOONSAULTS, but Anna moves! Ford hits only chair!

The fans rally up while all four women are down! Harley rises up, looks to Anna and they coordinate. Harley fires up, she runs at Megan, but Megan blocks the wheelbarrow to SMACK Harley off the steel steps! Megan falls back, still hurting from the table, but now the ref has medics check Harley. El Paso declares, “This is Awesome!” while Harley stands up. She’s got a bloody nose, maybe a busted lip, but Harley won’t let that stop her! Harley storms her way into the ring, Ford runs up, and Ford DECKS Harley! Anna kicks Ford, Gory Especial, FULL METAL GORY BOMB as Ford lands on a chair!! Cover, MEGAN BREAKS IT!!

Megan drags Anna up and fireman’s carries! FULL METAL FATE’S DESCENT!! Cover, Cover, HARLEY BREAKS IT! Harley HAMMERs away on Megan, then dodges her! But Megan FLYING LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Harley survives and the fans fire up! Megan is frustrated, but she and Ford coordinate. Ford crawls to a corner while Megan just throws chairs down on Harley! Megan then drags Harley up and Ford climbs. Megan Electric Chair Lifts Harley, Ford flies, SUPERBAD DOOMSDAY!! Cover, Megan & Ford win!

Winners: Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford, by pinfall

The Megasus unleashed her full power on Harley & Anna, leaving them both bloody messes. Will there be no stopping Megan’s rise to the top of the AEW Women’s Division?

 

Mercedes Mone arrives in a low rider.

The CEO is once again #FourBeltsMone as she holds up her Queen of Harts title, even as her driver parks the convertible. The AEW TBS Champion struts in as a rhinestone cowgirl, ready to meet the AEW Women’s World Champion face to face, but will they keep it civil? Or will there be a shootout in El Paso?

 

Six Man Tag: The Opps VS The Frat House!

Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs were part of the winning Team AEW at Anarchy in the Arena. But now, they focus on being AEW World Trios Champions. Will they be ready to go all in this summer? OR will Preston Vance, Griff Garrison, Cole Karter, Jacked Jameson, and even their El Paso “Pledges” be toasting a huge victory?

Jameson has a mic, and he tries to get the fans to join in on “FRAT~ HOUSE~!” They boo instead. Jameson says okay, last night, here in El Paso, him and the boys at Shifty’s Dive, throwing one of their world famous pledge parties. They are traveling the country, throwing these parties, looking for their next members. They were out on the town, and there was a sign with a saying that Jameson really likes: El Paso Strong! The fans cheer that! Jameson says that doesn’t make sense, all the guys are weak and skinny and all the girls are fat and ugly. The fans boo again. Jameson says needless to say, they didn’t find a new member.

But hey, that’s okay, they are not leaving emptyhanded. They’re walking out tonight the NEW Trios Champions! Uh, the belts aren’t on the line…? But Preston Vance says, “Win or lose, we BOOOOOOOOOZE~!” Vance gets in Joe’s face with that, and Joe HEADBUTTS him down! Shibata and Hobbs go after Karter & Garrison on the outside while Jameson and the Pledges scramble. The bell rings, Joe JABS away on Vance in the corner! The fans fire up as Joe just fires off! Joe CHOPS Vance down, and Shibata runs Karter right into railing! Joe CHOPS Vance again, whips him corner to corner, then runs in.

Vance BOOTS Joe, runs, but Joe SWEEPS the legs! And SENTONS on top! Vance scrambles, tag to Griff, and Joe chuckles at the Ivy League MVP getting fired up. The fans rally for Joe, but Joe says uno momento. Tag to Shibata! The fans cheer as The Wrestler steps up. Shibata and Griff feel things out, then Griff CHOPS! Shibata CHOPS in return! Griff CHOPS again, Shibata CHOPS again, and repeat! The fans fire up as Griff fires a forearm but Shibata fires back! Shibata eggs Griff on as Griff fires more shots, only for Shibata to DECK him! Shibata runs corner to corner and HYDRAULIC DROPKICKS!

Shibata drags Griff up, HALF HATCH, then cover, TWO! Griff stays in this but now Shibata tags Hobbs. Griff scrambles away to tag in Karter, but the Diamond in the Rough doesn’t know what he got into. Karter fires hands but Hobbs just takes them! Hobbs TOSSES Karter to the corner, fires hands, then whips corner to corner. LARIAT in the corner! The fans chant “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Hobbs fires more LARIATS into Karter! Hobbs reels Karter in for the short arm LARIAT! The straps come down and the fans fire up. Hobbs DECKS Griff off the apron, but Vance BLATSS Shibata and Joe!

Joe runs in, Vance runs away, and the ref is distracted, so Jameson slips in with that frat paddle! Jameson SMACKS Hobbs! Hobbs just gets mad! Hobbs LARIATS Jameson up and out! A Pledge is sent in!? Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Another Pledge tries, but he gets a SPIENBUSTER! The third Pledge tries, he gets a SPINEBUSTER! Vance has the paddle! The ref stops Vance, and Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Karter climbs up the corner, almost slips, but he still leaps, into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Opps win!

Winners: The Opps, by pinfall

That was town bidness times ten! Will the Frat House study up next time? Will The Opps continue to prove they are #NeverLacking?

 

Renee Paquette is in the ring.

Renee welcomes out the woman who fought her heart out at Double or Nothing, Jamie Hayter! The fans cheer as Hayter heads to the ring, clearly bummed she is NOT the 2025 Queen of Harts. Renee brings up that unfortunately, Hayter could not overcome Mone in the finals. And she knows Hayter was worried about what her future in AEW would look like without that win. Has Hayter had time to think about what’s next? Hayter tells Renee, that is the question. But then the lights go out!? Oh no, could it be…? The lights come back up and it is THEKLA! The Toxic Spider is in AEW, and she’s right on Hayter!

Thekla DECKS Hayter, then stands over her! Thekla stares into the camera, then spider-walks over! Will the “Idol Killer” tear down all those that came before her in order to be THE woman in AEW?

 

AEW TNT Championship: Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!

The Paragon could not stop the Don Callis Family on Sunday, and now the Panama City Playboy is the Protostar’s next target! Will the Aussie Arrow hit the mar and take this title home for the family? Or will it still be all about the BOOM?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the true Face of TNT!

Callis is on commentary to say the fans love Cole because he’s just like the fans: he lives on hopes and dreams. Callis says you can’t take hopes to the bank, but you can bank on Fletcher! The bell rings and the fans rally up as Cole and Fletcher stare down. Cole and Fletcher circle, feel things out, and tie up. Fletcher puts Cole in a corner, lets off slowly, then rolls back to mock the “Adam Cole Baybay!” Cole and Kyle circle, tie up, and Cole waistlocks. Fletcher pries free, switches, then he SLAMS Cole down! The fans are torn but Fletcher flexes on Cole. Cole and Fletcher reset, circle, and tie up. Cole headlocks, Kyle fights the takeover, and Kyle powers out.

Kyle RUNS Cole over, smirks, and then goes back for Cole. Kyle slips, Cole slips free, and Cole fires forearms! Kyle scoops but Cole fights free again! Kyle kicks low, CLUBS Cole on the back, but Cole PELES! The fans fire up and Kyle staggers around! Cole storms up to fire hands and he puts Kyle in a corner. Cole stomps a mudhole into Kyle, steps off as the ref counts, and he gives a proper “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” The fans cheer, Cole whips corner to corner, but Kyle reverses. Kyle runs up but Cole puts him on the apron, and SUPERKICKS him down! The fans fire up and Cole waits on Kyle. Cole goes to the apron and takes aim, only for PRG Vice to step up!

The fans boo as Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta stand in Cole’s way, but Callis says this is strength in numbers. Well speaking of, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly rush out here! Paragon brawls with RPG Vice and head to the back! The fans fire up, Cole goes to fetch Fletcher, but Fletcher SUPERKICKS Cole down! Kyle drags Cole up, reels him in, and APRON POWERBOMBS!! That was a lot more Cole’s head and neck then his back, and while the ref checks Cole, Callis mockingly says he’s gonna check on Kyle while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Fletcher flexes more while he soaks up heat, and Callis really does walk over to talk with him. Kyle steps into the ring and somehow Cole is okay to continue, so a ring count starts. Cole stirs at about 3 of 10, Callis & Kyle soak up more heat, but then Kyle goes out to fetch Cole at about 7. Kyle drags Cole into the ring, then stomps him down! Kyle stomps Cole more, then stalks him to ropes. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Cole down! And JUMP STOMPS again! Then he CHOKES Cole on the ropes! The ref counts, Kyle steps off, and Cole goes to a corner. Kyle soaks up heat, distracts the ref, and that lets Callis CHOKE Cole!

Callis scurries back to commentary before he’s caught, and Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires body shots but Kyle eggs him on. Cole fires more shots, but Kyle BOOTS him down! Kyle paces while he soaks up more heat, and he checks if that’s for him or for Cole. It is for Kyle, so Kyle scoops Cole and SLAMS him! Kyle paces more while Cole writhes. Cole sits up but Kyle is on him with another scoop and SLAM! Kyle leans on the ropes while he soaks up more heat, then he goes back to Cole. Kyle rains down fists, clamps on a chinlock, and he grinds Cole down. Cole endures and fights up while Dynamite returns to single picture.

The fans rally as Cole fires body shots, only for Kyle to scoop and SLAM again! Kyle twists Cole’s wrist, scoops and SLAMS again, then eggs everyone on. The fans boo but Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires forearms! The fans rally, but Kyle scoops and spins to SLAM! Callis says the reason Cole was outside to be hit with that apron powerbomb is because he went after Kyle outside the ring. Callis says Cole only has himself to blame. Kyle runs corner to corner, but Cole SUPERKICKS! Callis is eating his words the way Kyle ate that foot! The fans are thunderous as Cole rises up! Cole storms up to fire forearm after forearm!

Kyle shoves Cole but Cole LARIATS! And ELBOWS! And BOOTS! Kyle staggers around, Cole brings him over, but Kyle fights the fireman’s carry! Kyle runs, but Cole BOOTS him! Kyle rebounds into the fireman’s carry! USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives but the fans rally behind Cole. Cole rises up, goes to the corner, and he climbs up to aim again. Kyle stands into the PANAMA- NO, Kyle BACKDROPS then sits down on a cover, TWO!! Cole escapes, Kyle blocks his kick, and Kyle spins Cole for a SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Cole flounders, Kyle runs corner to corner, GAMANGIRI! And then Kyle reels Cole in, but Cole suplexes, GHOST BUSTER!!

Cole fires up, rises up, and the fans are with him! PANAMA SUNRISE!!! Kyle sputters, Cole brings down the kneepad, and Callis freaks out! But JOSH ALEXANDER is here, and he just CLOBBERS Cole!!

Winner: Adam Cole, by disqualification (still AEW TNT Champion)

Callis laughs as the Don Callis Family’s Walking Weapon beats Cole down! But Kyle doesn’t get to be TNT Champion, what good was this? Alexander BITES Cole, Callis says break Cole! Kyle & Alexander mug Cole while the fans boo and cuss Callis out! But wait! Here comes Brody King! The King of Death ahs a chair, and he runs Alexander & Kyle off! This match was to be the main event, but it might as well happen now! Will Brody bulldoze through Alexander to head for Fyter Fest? Or will the Don Callis Family still secure something good for the Summer?

 

AEW International Championship Qualifier: Josh Alexander w/ The Don Callis Family VS Brody King!

Dynamite returns, security standing between the Walking Weapon and King of Death, but they won’t wait any longer! Security is literally thrown aside and the bell rings! The brawl is on and the fans love it! Brody KNEES Alexander, ROCKS him, puts him in a corner, and CHOPS him! And ROCKS him! And repeat! Brody ROCKS and CHOPS, stands Alexander up and whips corner to corner. Brody runs up, Alexander BOOTS him then goes up, to MISSILE DROPKICK! Alexander dusts himself off, stomps Brody around, then rips the shirt away to CHOKE Brody with it! The ref counts, Alexander stops at 4 and taunts Brody by flossing with the shirt, and we don’t mean teeth.

Alexander offers the shirt to fans, but then drops it on the floor. Alexander whips, Brody reverses and BACKDROPS! The fans fire up as Callis keeps putting Alexander over as the best Canadian wrestler ever. Brody gets his shirt back, and he stuffs it in Alexander’s mouth! The fans cheer but Callis says there is no place for that here! Brody has Alexander against the ropes and CLUBS him! Alexander suffers Beats of the War Drum, and fans count to seven before Brody shoves him down! Brody tosses his shirt away, then brings Alexander up. Alexander fires body shots but Brody ROCKS him back. Brody puts Alexander against the post, hushes the fans, and winds up.

But Alexander ducks, Brody’s CHOP hits POST! The fans all wince as Brody clutches his hand! Alexander then RAMS Brody into the post to go after the shoulder! Alexander wrenches the arm, and he SLAMS it off railing! The fans boo but Alexander keeps after Brody. Alexander CHOPS Brody, refreshes the count, then brings Brody around to whip. But Brody reverses to send Alexander into barriers! Brody choke grips with his off hand, and he BARRIER CHOKE SLAMS Alexander! The fans fire up and Brody CHOPS Alexander against the barrier! Alexander falls, the fans fire up, and Brody stalks Alexander around the way.

Brody brings Alexander up, ROCKS him, but that was the bad hand. The fans rally and Brody puts Alexander in the ring. Alexander BOOTS Brody, then BOOTS the arm! Alexander runs, but Brody breaks through the lariat and CLOBBERS Alexander! Alexander tumbles out of the ring, and Brody builds speed! Brody DIVES into a FOREARM! Alexander has Brody in the ropes, APRON DDT! Brody slumps down and sputters, and then Alexander CHOPS him! The fans rally, Alexander runs, and he BODY CHECKS Brody off the apron! Alexander soaks up the heat while Lance Archer applauds. Callis says Alexander is not intimidated by size because he has the technique!

Fans chant “You Suck!” but Alexander SLAMS the bad arm into the post! Brody clutches his hand, but he CHOPS with the left! And CHOPS again! Alexander kicks and CHOPS in return! Alexander brings Brody around the way, and whips him hard into steel steps! Brody writhes, Alexander grins as he refreshes the count, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.

The ref checks on Brody, but Brody refuses to let the bad arm stop him. Alexander goes out and walks up the steps so he can stomp Brody’s hand! The ref reprimands but Alexander kicks Brody around. Alexander puts Brody in the ring, but Brody ROCKS him with an elbow! Brody CHOPS, but Alexander CLAWS Brody’s eyes! Alexander adjusts his wrestling headgear before bringing Brody around. Alexander HIP DROPS the good arm, looking to leave Brody with no arms! Alexander traps the bad arm and SNAP LOCKS it! Brody writhes and Alexander takes a moment to soak up heat. Brody drags himself up with the ropes, but Alexander pulls on the arms!

The ref reprimands, Brody ROCKS Alexander, but Alexander kicks low! Alexander climbs up in the corner to rain down fists! Brody stops Alexander at five, but Alexander CHOPS! Brody CHOPS, Alexander CHOPS repeat! Alexander CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS, then brings Brody in for a BIG suplex! That alone was impressive, and Alexander covers, TWO! Brody toughs it out and Alexander grows frustrated. Alexander looms over Brody, throws down elbows, then he drags Brody by the bad arm. SNAP LOCK! Brody writhes again but Alexander paces. Alexander drags Brody back up, and he clamps on with a keylock!

Dynamite returns to single picture as Brody endures. The fans rally, Brody fights up, and Brody fires body shots. The fans fire upas Brody CHOPS! But that was the bad hand again! Alexander waistlocks, but Brody switches, and he GERMAN SUPLEXES! The fans fire up and Brody LARIATS! But again, the bad arm! Alexander BOOTS Brody, BOOTS him again, but Brody SOUTHPAW LARIATS! Both men are down and the fans fire up. A standing count starts and the fans rally. Callis claims Alexander is ahead on points, not that that matters right now. Brody and Alexander are on opposite ends of a corner as they rise up.

Brody grabs Alexander, goes to the top rope with him, but Alexander pulls the crossbar’s pad away! Alexander fights the suplex, throws body shots, and then he HOTSHOTS the arm on the bare bar! Brody staggers away, Alexander pursues, and Alexander waistlocks. Brody fights with elbows, then fireman’s carries! Alexander fights back, but Brody BOOTS him! And has the SLEEPER!! Alexander endures, and he pries the grip open! ELBOW BREAKER! APRON GERMAN SUPLEX!! Both men fall to the floor and Callis says they might need to stop this.

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (advances to the AEW International Championship match)

The Don Callis Family had two chances tonight, failed them both, and now Brody heads for Colorado and Fyter Fest. Will The King of Death end the reign of The Best Bout Machine? Who else will join Brody and Kenny Omega in the Mile High City?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

On top of the other two International Championship qualifiers, Claudio VS Komander and Hechicero VS Mascara Dorada, we will have Mina Shirakawa VS Skye Blue! Will the Fighting Gravure Idol stay strong in the wake of losing at Double or Nothing? Plus, after the confrontation during the TNT Championship match, Paragon battles RPG Vice, but with some added names to the mix! RPG Vice bring in NEVER Openweight Champion, Konosuke Takeshita, while Roddy & Kyle conglomerate with NJPW Strong Openweight Champion, Tomohiro Ishii! Could this Six Man Tag open some doors to more golden opportunities?

 

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

The Protostar does not know whose call that was, whether it was Callis or Alexander, but he doesn’t care, because he does NOT need help out there, and certainly not to beat Adam Cole! He should be standing here as the NEW TNT Champion! But speaking of Cole, he comes running in and the two start throwing hands! Kyle has a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Security rushes out, separates the two, and Cole says Kyle is a dead man! Cole knows he had Kyle beat, but when and where will these two put the claims to rest?

 

Mercedes Mone heads to the ring!

The CEO struts her way out, carrying all her belts, the Owen Hart Cup on display. Mone grabs a mic and says, “El Pasooooo~! I now stand before you not only as the greatest TBS & Rev-Pro Champion of all time… But as the greatest winner of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament!” The fans are torn, but Mone says the legends, Owen Hart and her hero, Eddie Guerrero… The fans cheer for El Paso’s own, the late, great Latino Heat, and Mone says they do NOT compare to the greatness of Mone! That is why she is the CEO of AEW! But wait! Timeless Toni Storm makes her way out here! This face-to-face is now official as the AEW Women’s World Champion steps into the ring.

The fans cheer for Toni, and the two champions eye each other while Toni gets herself a mic. Toni kicks off the shoes and sets her belt down on the mat. Mone says, “Toni, darling, we finally meet.” The fans applaud that, and Mone says she knows these AEW fans are so sick of the black ‘n’ white. They want a champion full of color! The fans boo that, but Toni says, “Hello, Mercedes. I have waited so long for you. 441 days ago, you arrived in AEW on a show named after you. And since then, you’ve won titles, you’ve made history, and you’ve remained undefeated. But you have never once spoke to me. You have never once looked at me.

“You said that you’ve been watching me since before you even came here. You told Antony Khan that this was the one match you wanted to have. So, darling, what took you so long?” The fans cheer, and Mone says back, “What took me so long? Patience, darling, patience.” The fans boo, but Mone says this isn’t about Toni, this is about Mone and her legacy. And you think she’s going to go around backstage shaking just anybody’s hand? When Mone is the Beyonce of Women’s Wrestling? You gotta be kidding! The fans boo but Mone asks Toni, “Do you not know who I am? I am the standard, I am the conversation, I am the blueprint, I AM the revolution!”

Fans are torn, but Toni smirks as there are those who chant, “No, You’re Not! No, You’re Not!” Toni says she is the Toni Storm of Pro-Wrestling, and she swears to an unknown God that you have NEVER met anyone like her! The fans cheer that! Mone says yes, that’s right. This Toni, this “shy, nervous Toni Storm that I met ten years ago,” is very different. But so is Mone. Mone is not just a Boss, she is a CEO. She has beaten the very best from all over the world, from Mexico to Japan to England. And now at All In: Texas, Mone is bringing it home. We will have THE greatest women’s match of all time! Fans like the sound of that.

Toni says they have so many similarities. They both started so young, struggled on the indies, found success, were given trophies and flowers, and when those weren’t enough, they left it all behind to follow their hearts. And in AEW, they became exactly who they are meant to be! The fans cheer that! Mone nods, and Toni continues: There is one glaring difference. While Mone wants all the titles, Toni needs only one. Toni has lived for this title, she has cried for this title, she has bled for this title, and she has DIED for this title! The fans chant, “She’s Our Champion! Toni! Toni!” Mone is annoyed, but Toni keeps going.

“So if you want to ride the Money Train through the Toni Tunnel, I just hope you can get deep enough.” The fans cheer that! Mone says not even Toni’s hips are wide enough for the Money Train! Toni says 45 days form now, they will meet again in Texas. And somewhere in the world, a little girl with big dreams will be watching. She will say, “Holy S*IT, these b*tches are crazy!” And then, that little girl will find out who the better woman is! Toni sincerely believes Mone is the greatest of all time. But unfortunately for Mone, Toni happens to be TIMELESS~! The fans cheer that, and Mone scowls.

Mone tells Toni that Toni may call herself timeless, but what she deserves is for her time to come an end! Mone will see Toni at All In! Toni says, “See you at All In, darling.” The fans fire up as Mone puts her other belts aside to offer a handshake. Toin smiles and accepts. Then they bring each other in to stare down. Toni smells Mone, and then kisses Mone on the hand. Mone reels Toni in for a Gory Especial! Toni fights out to reel Mone in! Mone scrambles free of the driver, and the fans fire up! That was just a taste of what’s to come, but who will taste sweet victory when these two battle it out in Globe Life Field?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite to follow Double or Nothing while building to Fyter Fest and All In. Excalibur said himself that tonight paralleled Double or Nothing by bookending things with the Owen Hart Cup stories. Great opening promo from Hangman, Swerve and Ospreay. Swerve did have a good point of asking if Hangman was in cahoots with The Bucks, but we also know that’s not the case. And of course Swerve and Hangman will be at odds during this whole All In build. But just as likely, we will get a great “Avengers working together” kind of moment to finally take out the Death Riders and get that title off Moxley.

Great closing promo from Toni and Mone, with a good reference back to their time in WWE. I’m still hoping for them to put all the belts on the line so that they are truly going all in. But the tease of someone taking a finisher to the belt was good stuff. 45 days of build, who knows what else we get, but there’s also no guarantee that Mone keeps the TBS Championship. It’d be wild if someone took that title from her on the way, but it could be a point of pressure that Mone has to defend her other belts while Toni only has to worry about one.

Good debut for Thekla tonight, it was very in line with a Malakai/Aleister Black debut. Hayter seems to automatically be the woman who faces returning and debuting wrestlers and that’s not a bad spot, but it would be nice if she got to do title stuff. Great women’s tag match, and kudos to Harley fighting through a broken nose. But in the end, the Heels winning made sense when they lost at Double or Nothing. There’s talk of tag titles coming, but I don’t have faith in that when TK’s pacing of the women’s division still hasn’t improved. The current example is the poor planning he has with the ROH Women’s Pure Championship.

RIP the Frat House, their ceiling is ROH after getting crushed by The Opps. A little surprised we didn’t get Hook showing up or having a promo, but maybe that happens for Collision. The Mixed Six Tag was great stuff, and throwing Speedball in there was a little surprising until it was clear the Death Riders were winning that. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate, but every time MJF talks about “his” world title, it feels like Lashley wants to roll his eyes or something, because duh, why wouldn’t he and Shelton want their own shots at that title? If Moxley does lose at All In, and MJF goes after Hangman, you can bet MJF and Lashley butt heads again over who really gets the title match.

Good promo from Ricochet, but I wonder… Ricochet wants a crew, there’s a duo named CRU… Is Ricochet going to lead Lio & Action as a trio? And if it isn’t CRU, who would fall in line behind Ricochet? Unless that’s the point of his next story arc: failing to make a faction because he’s that insufferable. And great Don Callis Family stuff tonight. Cole VS Kyle was great, good move for Paragon to go after them, and that Six Man Tag on Collision will be fun. Alexander running out there really was confusing, not just kayfabe, but maybe they want to give Kyle an out. Kyle is great as a wrestler and a personality, fans surely will cheer for him over the rest of Callis Family, but we’ll wait and see how Cole VS Kyle 2 goes.

Alexander VS Brody was a great main event match, with great story of going after Brody’s hand. Alexander getting busted open hard way from perhaps that top rope stuff did add something. And honestly, I’m pleasantly surprised by Brody winning. Brody and Omega alone is great, but then it’ll surely be Claudio over Komander, and now Hechicero over Mascara Dorada to keep the two Faces and two Heels ratio.

My Score: 8.9/10
