Backstage interview with Josh Briggs, Brooks Jensen & Fallon Henley.
McKenzie talks with the NXT UK Tag Team Champions about what’s next. Next? Jensen’s still waiting for his first. Not that, Brooks… But Briggs says this trio’s picked up some bumps and bruises along the way, but that’s just how they roll. They’ll get their asses back on the horses no matter what. And proudly! But The Schism walks in, and Joe Gacy says such pride is well deserved, they have something to be proud of. And Gacy is sure their families are enjoying the happiness. Especially Jensen’s father. He is second generation in WWE. But sadly, Cameron Grimes cannot say the same, as his father was a journeyman who did not enjoy that same success.
And to Gacy, that’s not fair. James Drake- er, Jagger Reed, wants them to look him in the eyes. The eyes are the window to the soul. And Zack- er, Rip Fowler, says if you join them, The Schism will provide a roadmap to success. Uh, they’re not lost. But if these guys need directions, then they can take a left, then a right, then go straight to where you’ll meet Jensen’s fists in your faces! If that’s how Jensen chooses to express himself, Gacy will oblige. And he will gladly be there to send a message to Cameron Grimes through Jensen. Just what is The Schism scheming this summer?
NXT North American Championship Open Challenge: Carmelo Hayes w/ Trick Williams VS ???
The A Champion has been a champion so long, he’s not sure who should be next to face him. So he’s letting fate decide for him! Who answers the call of this golden opportunity?
Melo gets the mic, as does Trick. Life’s been amazing for them ever since The Great American Bash. They’ve been stacking dollars, starting drama, and taking all y’all’s baby mamas! Oh no, not the baby mamas! But it is what it is. Most importantly, they’re celebrating Melo’s birthday! Everyone knows Melo is a money player, and all he makes is money and moves. So tonight’s move is an Open Challenge for THE A Championship! The very next person to get in this ring can step up to get stepped on! And that person is… GIOVANNI VINCI! It’s #VeniVidiVinci, but will it be vittoria- WAIT! DRIVE-BY PHOTBOMB! Nathan Frazer snipes it!!
Everyone is shocked, but especially Melo and Vinci! Will the British Prodigy not only snipe the opportunity from Vinci, but also snatch this title from Melo on his birthday?
The belt is raised, the bell rings, and Melo circles with Frazer while Vinci joins commentary. Frazer headlocks, Melo powers up but Frazer hits a flying takeover. Melo headscissors, Frazer kips free, Melo hits a takeover but Frazer headscissors. Fans rally and duel, Melo moves around and handstands to jackknife!

Give the assist to Vinci, he screwed Frazer over just because he wasn’t fast enough to answer this open challenge himself. Will Frazer settle things with Vinci before trying Melo again?
NXT returns with the Heatwave Summit.
Wade Barrett, Bron Breakker, JD McDonagh, and quite a few security guards, are all present. Barrett thanks the NXT Champion and his next challenger for joining him. Barrett starts with JD. Since his arrival here in NXT 2.0, he has shown a precise and methodical approach, from his shocking debut at the Great American Bash to the… uncomfortable way he introduced himself. Uncomfortable? JD was very comfortable. But he doesn’t want to talk about last week, he wants to talk about the future at NXT Heatwave. JD has no problem telling us that he has not been in the ring with someone quite like Bron.
Bron is relentless, he is fearless, he is driven by intensity, and sitting here, JD sees the passion and fire in Bron’s eyes. JD can even understand why that’d be a source of fear for others. But for JD, it’s a stimulant. JD looks at Bron and sees a fire and everything in JD says to stomp out that fire. JD sees the way everyone else looks at Bron. They’re in awe, and they treat him with respect. Why? Because he could be on the cover of Muscle & Fitness magazines? JD sees Bron and sees a roadmap for the pain that he can inflict. “Because this ring is my operating theater. And those muscles you worked so hard to grow? I’m gonna tear them off the bones.”
At Heatwave, the only sound sweeter than Bron’s screams of agony will be ring announcer Alicia saying JD is the NEW NXT Champion. Barrett thanks JD for that. And now, Barrett says Bron knows the NXT Championship puts a big target on his back. Now one of NXT UK’s finest, the Irish Ace, has his sights set on him. How will Bron handle a man who has nothing but ill intent? Bron says, “JD is special. I’ve never been in the ring with someone like you. I studied your NXT UK career. You were champion for over a year. And no disrespect to Gunther or Ziggler or Ciampa, but you might be the smartest superstar that I’ve ever stepped foot in the ring with.”
JD is so smart, JD knows now to challenge Bron’s speed or strength, but his mind. That’s just it. Everyone has a plan until Bron breaks them in half! And you can call this an operating table or whatever, but when the title is on the line, Bron is an animal! Fans bark for that one. Bron is glad JD likes pain. Because at Heatwave, JD will be in a lot of it. JD laughs as he says this is what he likes about Bron. Bron believes every word that comes out of his mouth. But JD does, too. JD thinks that at Heatwave, everything Bron says will come true. The difference here is, that Bron likes to endure pain, but JD welcomes it.
Barrett has things calm down a bit. They do have business to take care of in signing the contract for this match. JD as the challenger gets to sign first. Bron says please. JD says he won’t yet. He knows it is tradition, but he caught a look on Bron’s face. There was fear. Bron needs to sign first. Bron says this isn’t fear, “you freakin’ sicko.” Bron will show JD he fears nothing with a heartbeat. Bron takes the contract and the pen then signs on the dotted line. Fans cheer and the contract is given to JD. JD has the pen, but he tells Bron that this summit won’t end in violence. But to show everyone how series JD is, this will end in blood.
JD uses a needed to poke his finger and he writes his name in blood! JD then stands up quick, and Bron stands up, too. But JD simply offers a handshake with that bleeding hand. Bron just holds up the title instead. But when Heatwave is over, will JD be holding that belt up while Bron is the one bleeding?
Apollo Crews visits the Diamond Mine dojo.
The Creeds are happy to see him, and he is proud to see them as NXT Tag Team Champions. Apollo wishes Julius & Brutus luck, and he is a huge fan. Well thanks! They’re big fans of Apollo, too. And there is an open invite. If he wants to get his roll on, the dojo’s doors are always open. Well he was state champion, but tonight, Apollo has some advice. Watch your backs. Not everything is what it seems. Brutus isn’t sure what Apollo’s getting at but Julius has an idea. For now, the Creeds are going to focus on Tony D’Angelo and Channing Lorenzo, retaining the titles, #AndStill. Alright, just keep your eyes open and kick some ass!
Apollo leaves, Damon Kemp walks in, and the Creeds ask about Roddy. Uh, yeah, that’s why Kemp’s here. Strong is running late, but he’ll be here for the match. Seriously? They have to game plan. Well, that’s all Strong said. That’s fine, as long as he is there. They can only control what they can control. But will Julius & Brutus be able to control their destiny when going up against The Don?
Toxic Attraction is freaking out backstage!
Gigi & Jacy can’t believe they lost the tag title match! But Mandy Rose is also freaking out! She claims there was cheating! That’s why they banned Mandy from ringside! McKenzie, NO! You always show up at the worst times! If she even holds out that mic, Jacy’s gonna lose it! McKenzie leaves, and Mandy’s music plays. Can the Toxic Goddess at least hold it together for the trio?
Sarray VS Mandy Rose!
The Warrior of the Sun faces Meiko Satomura for the NXT UK Women’s Championship this Thursday, but she and the NXT Women’s Champion have a score to settle. Will Sarray beat one champion before facing another? Or will Mandy finally have revenge for the brutal makeover via that dropkick?
NXT is picture in picture as Sarray makes her transformation entrance. The bell rings, Mandy and Sarray circle, and they tie up. Mandy waistlocks, SLAMS Sarray, then slaps her around. Mandy drags Sarray up but Sarray wrenches an arm. Mandy snapmares to a chinlock but Sarray slips out to a wristlock. Mandy snapmares again and chinlocks but Sarray again escapes to a wristlock. Sarray stomps Mandy down, twists the wrist more, but Mandy fights up. Mandy rolls, wrenches, knees low, then whips. Sarray ducks ‘n’ dodges to CROSSBODY! Cover, ONE, but Sarray rushes in to victory roll! AND STOMP!
Sarray fires up while Mandy flounders to a corner. Sarray runs in to back elbow! Sarray snapmares Mandy then fires up the fans as she climbs. NXT returns to single picture for the CROSSBODY, but Mandy catches and SLAMS Sarray down! Mandy rains down fists, covers, TWO! Mandy snarls, drags Sarray up and whips her to ropes. Sarray sunset flips, TWO! Mandy hurries up but Sarray runs to SHOTGUN Mandy down! Mandy is on the ropes and Sarray fires up! Sarray scrapes her boot off Mandy, then runs side to side! Mandy bails out to avoid the Sunray! Sarray still dropkicks but Mandy blocks it to YANK Sarray into ropes!
Mandy hurries back in to cover, TWO! Fans rally while Mandy drags Sarray up. Mandy puts Sarray in the corner, fires off forearms, then stomps away. The ref counts, Mandy stops at 4, and Mandy soaks up the cheers and jeers. Mandy digs her knees into Sarray but the ref counts. Mandy lets off at 4, she drags Sarray from the corner and covers, TWO! Mandy drags Sarray up but Sarray rolls Mandy! TWO, and Sarray runs in to wheelbarrow. Mandy turns that to a FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Mandy is annoyed but she drags Sarray to another cover, TWO! Mandy dribbles Sarray off the mat, then covers again, TWO as Sarray goes Matrix!
Sarray basement dropkicks Mandy down! Fans fire up, duel, and Mandy hurries after Sarray. Sarray blocks the lariat to CHOP! And then again! Sarray fires off forearms, but Mandy kicks low. Mandy whips but Sarray blocks! Sarray springboards to arm-drag! Then drop toehold! Sarray fires up and goes to a corner. Sarray goes up, Mandy stands, and Sarray missile dropkicks! Mandy tumbles away and Sarray hurries to get her up. Sarray hooks an arm, PERFECT PLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Mandy survives but Sarray keeps her eyes on Mandy as she goes to a corner. Sarray runs in but Mandy pops her up and hits a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!
Mandy is frustrated and runs in, KNEE FROM A ROSE!! Cover, Mandy wins!
Winner: Mandy Rose, by pinfall
Mandy tells Zoey Stark she is going to get this at Heatwave! And by that, she means the chair she’s getting! The ref tells Mandy to stop but Mandy taunts Sarray with the title belt. Mandy grabs the chair, looms over Sarray, and she JAMS Sarray in the legs! And then again! And again! And again! Then she puts the chair around a leg, but here comes Stark! Stark rallies on Mandy with lariats! And a SUPERKICK! Mandy wobbles, Stark reels her in but Mandy scrambles away! The Toxic Goddess has the belt for now, but Stark says time is almost up. Will the Heatwave burn Mandy’s reign down?
Tiffany Stratton speaks.
What sets her apart is her focus and athleticism. “When you’re a once in a lifetime athlete, you have no time for complete losers like Wendy Choo.” It’s not her fault she was born gifted. She knows she’s great, she works at it every day. She figures that’s why everyone is obsessed with her. She couldn’t stand losing the battle royal, because “Tiffany” and “loser” do not belong in the same sentence. How were other women okay with losing. Maybe if she lived a miserable existence, she’d be okay with it, too. But she doesn’t, so she isn’t. And then Wendy threatened Tiffany that the next time they meet, it won’t be pretty. Whatever, Wendy. Everything Tiffany does is pretty.
Tiffany finishes a floor routine and moves on to shopping. Tootles! But when and where will Wendy catch up to Tiffany to turn her life into a waking nightmare?
Backstage interview with Axiom.
McKenzie congratulates the newest masked wrestler on his victorious debut, and he thanks her. He is very excited to be in NXT, and his timing couldn’t have been more perfect. But Duke Hudson walks in to say Axiom doesn’t belong here. There’s a lot of change happening in NXT, which is why he’s always ready. It’s anyone’s ball game, but just not Axiom’s. He’s undersized and undeserving. Meanwhile, Duke is 6’5″, 270 pounds. Well, okay, 265 because he’s been slimming down. But the differences between them are night and day. Axiom is not afraid of duke. Oh, well good for him. NERD! Duke SLAPS Axiom but Axiom fights back!
Duke CLUBS Axiom and the brawl continues into the back! Duke ROCKS Axiom, clamps onto him, but Axiom CHOPS! Duke RAMS Axiom into the wall! Then kicks him through a doorway. Duke drags Axiom along but Axiom CHOPS back! Duke knees low, CLUBS him, and they end up at gorilla! Duke ROCKS Axiom, ROCKS him again, and now they’re going to the ramp! Duke throws off his jacket but Axiom CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Duke hauls Axiom up to run down the ramp and RAM him into the ring! Fans boo at Duke but he puts Axiom in the ring. Duke stomps Axiom, kicks him, and then hauls him up for a scoop and SWINGING SIDE SLAM!
Fans are torn as Duke flexes. The smug bully goes outside to then grab a mic. “And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you don’t believe in your heroes. They’ll always let you down.” Fans boo as Duke leaves. But Axiom gets the mic to shout, “YOU! Things have changed, but you’re wrong! I can make it! And I can prove it! Right here, right now!” Axiom wants a match after all that brawling?! Duke says why not! A ref appears, and the match is on!
Duke Hudson VS Axiom!
The bell rings and Axiom leaps! But Duke catches him to RAM him into the corner! Duke RAMS into Axiom again and again, then he hauls Axiom up top. Axiom kicks back but Duke BOOTS Axiom down!

Axiom sends Duke into buckles, then runs to tilt-o-whirl wheelbarrow and victory roll! AXIOM WINS!!
Winner: Axiom, by pinfall
Duke is freaking out! Axiom got him off guard, will Duke ever live this down?
Backstage interview with Wes Lee.
The Must-See Kid says throughout his career, he has overcome odds. But Trick got the better of him. And what really irks Lee is that Trick thinks he’s the second coming of Muhammed Ali. The Great American Bash, the entrance, and then he blinds Lee to get the win. Then last week, he replicated the most iconic image in boxing of Muhammed Ali over Frazer. Ali is a legend. Trick’s a legend in his own mind. Ali influenced millions while Trick annoys millions. Okay, no more trash talk.
Lee says next week, we get the best of both worlds. Trick can bring his so-called boxing skills while Lee brings the wrestling. And they can even do it in a British Rounds Match, to see who is better at the sweet science. What’s it going to be, Trick? Your move!

Roxanne Perez speaks.
“For the past three weeks, I’ve been dealing with almost every emotion possible. First, I was in total shock. Cora was my big sisters. We were two broke girls traveling, just trying to get noticed. Leaning on each other to get by, and pushing each other to get better. I was the #1 Cora Jade fan. then, I get to NXT. We were both doing so good! The fans were getting behind us! When my friends succeed, I succeed. When they win, I win, and we won! We were unstoppable. Toxic Attraction had been a thorn in Cora’s side for so long, I decided to use my contract. I didn’t see who attacked me from behind, I assumed it was Toxic, and I wasn’t gonna let Toxic stop me.
“For Cora to do what she did, it really hurt me. Never in a million years did I think my best friend would do that to me. Our friendship meant more than that woman’s title. I never want to be associated with Cora ever again. I know Cora better than anyone on this planet, and she wants to call me a selfish bitch? I was there all those times she needed me. For a week, I was in denial. But that turned into anger when I watched Cora throw her NXT Women’s Tag title in the trash! We dreamed of becoming champions for so long, and she throw’s it in the trash!? I don’t know who this Cora is. My best friend is long gone.
“Okay, bitch. We both know the truth, You want me out of your life? I couldn’t agree more. So let’s settle this once and for all, in two weeks at Heatwave.” There is major heat between the former friends, but who is the one that gets burned?
Backstage interview with Cora Jade.
McKenzie notes the comments from Roxanne just now, what is Cora’s response to the challenge? “Absolutely NOT. If only Roxanne was as good in the ring as she is an actress. Don’t fall for her sob story. She just wants to make me look like the bad guy. Right now in the WWE, in NXT, I’m the talk of the town. It’s me, Bayley, Roman. So of course, Roxanne just wants a match against me to elevate her career once again. No thanks, I’m done with that charity case. She wants a match? Uh-uh, bitch. Speaking of one…” Mandy Rose is here but she assures Cora, it’s to talk business.
Zoey Stark needs to be stopped, and Mandy saw what Cora did last week, so maybe Cora could do it again and they can get rid of Stark once and for all. Typical Mandy. A one-sided deal that only benefits herself. Hard pass. Mandy wants Cora to hold on, this is two grown women talking. Listen, look at this: if Cora takes out the #1 contender, the person that steps in is the runner up. That person is Cora. Then Cora doesn’t even have to worry about Roxie, she’ll be the one facing Mandy at Heatwave. Cora says she’ll give it some thought, “Little girl.” Cora sasses the Toxic Goddess, will she be the one in control now?
Backstage interview with Kayden & Katana.
McKenzie congratulates the NEW NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions, and Katana says they can’t believe it. They’ve been through hell and back. They’ve been cheated, slighted, but they didn’t stop and they finally did it! Kayden says that Katana is her rock. They’ve been through the best of times, the worst of times, and times where they wanted to quit. But they never stopped, they kept moving forward, and that journey made this moment so much sweeter. KC Squared thanks those who never gave up on them, and now the titles are where they belong, and this is where they’ll stay!
Brooks Jensen w/ Josh Briggs & Fallon Henley VS Joe Gacy w/ The Dyad!
Jensen made the challenge, Gacy accepted it, and now they’ll settle this in the ring! Will Gacy send that message to Grimes? Or will Jensen send a message of his own?
NXT returns as Gacy & The Dyad make their entrance. The bell rings and the two tie right up. Gacy powers Jensen back, Jensen turns it around at the ropes, but Gacy ROCKS him with a cheap shot. Jensen blocks a whip to revere and clothesline in the corner! And again, and again! Jensen whips corner to corner then back drops Gacy on the rebound! Fans fire up as Jensen JABS, JABS, two steps and ROLLING ELBOWS! Fans fire up and Jensen goes out to go around and DRIVE-BY DROPKICK! Jensen shows off the denim short shorts as he gets in, but Gacy rolls him up and reels him in, DDT!
Gacy stomps Jensen, puts him in a corner and CHOPS! Jensen ROCKS Gacy, Gacy CHOPS and throws body shots! Gacy fires off hands but Jensen gives them back! Fans fire as the hands keep going, and Jensen ROCKS Gacy! Gacy kicks back, whips Jensen to ropes but Jensen ducks and whips. Gacy reverses again and ROCKS Jensen in the corner! Then side to side for a SLINDING FOREARM! Jensen flounders, Gacy hangs upside-down like a bat! Gacy stalks Jensen, reels him in, URENAGE! Gacy then drops a BIG elbow, covers, TWO! Fans rally and Briggs coaches Jensen, but Gacy tells him to stay down!
Gacy headbutts, hands fly again, and Jensen slips off a scoop to shove and WHEEL KICK! The country boy can fly! But then the Dyad creeps over towards Fallon. Briggs coaches Jensen but Fallon asks the Dyad what’s their damage. Briggs notices and gets between Fallon and the Dyad, but here comes Pretty Deadly!! Jensen sees them coming, though, and he TOSSES Elton Prince, then DECKS Kit Wilson! But Gacy handsprings and LARIATS! Cover, Gacy wins!!
Winner: Joe Gacy, by pinfall
A pretty deadly assist, and Gacy says Grimes’ life has been divided by disappointment and loss. “That is no way to live. The only way to change your life is with the help of others. And I know you’re a proud man, that’s why I’m reaching out to you. I can fill the emptiness in your soul. You know deep, deep in your heart that I am right.” Gacy has a creepy smile on his face, what lurks behind it?
Speaking of Grimes, he and others are watching this backstage. Someone points it out to Grimes that Gacy was talking to him. Yeah, he knows that. Grimes storms off, but how will he respond?
Tony D finishes up a phone call.
Uh-huh, yeah. That’s not what they talked about! Thanks for nothing! Damn that prick, Santos! Without him, Tony would be North American Champion, Tag Team Champion, and they’d be strapped with cash! Stacks says even Lopez was in on that! After all they did for that trash! But what’re they gonna do? It’s 4v2! Tony says they’re cheap. But wait, here comes a call from Santos. Santos mocks Tony on the loss. And also, how’s the jaw? Oh, real cute, you comedian. That’s two titles! Where are you!? Oh, after Tony put him in the hospital, they’re almost even. Almost. Well next time they see each other, Santos is DONE!
Santos tells Tony that they both know Santos can’t work for him and Tony won’t work for Santos, and they sure can’t work together. Yeah, genius? Listen up. One last match, this ends. No Stacks, no Legado! Just 1v1. One final accord? You’ve got it, Don. But where? Somewhere where they can see each other coming a mile away. What does Tony have planned for this final chapter between wrestling godfathers?
Alba Fyre VS Lash Legend!
The Firekeeper is raging the WNBA star turned wrestling superstar trying to snuff her out. Will Fyre be like a phoenix and rise from the ashes? Or will Lash continue to build her legend with Fyre as the foundation?
NXT is picture in picture as Lash makes her entrance. The bell rings and Lash rushes in, but Fyre dodges to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP! Lash ends up in a corner, Fyure CHOPS her, kicks her, then TORNADO- NO, Lash throws Fyre away. But Fyre kicks out a leg, to then DDT Lash down! Cover, TWO! Fyre fires up and she drags Lash back up. Fyre whips but Lash blocks! Lash ROCKS Fyre, whips her to ropes, then follows to BOOT her down! Lash swaggers and soaks up the heat, then she drags Fyre back up. Lash dribbles Fyre off the mat, then SLAMS her down. Lash drags Fyre back up to reel her in for a cravat and then a turn.
Lash stretches Fyre back with a neckbreaker rack, but Fyre endures. Fyre pries at the hold, but Lash stands back up to hit a NECKBREAKER! Lash talks trash, drags Fyre up, and NXT returns to single picture. Lash whips Fyre to a corner then CLOBBERS her on the rebound. Lash looms over Fyre, talks more trash, then dribbles her again! Fyre throws body shots but Lash CLUBS Fyre down. Lash drags Fyre up, Fyre throws more body shots and then gets a leg. Lash pries Fyre off to have a BOW ‘N’ ARROW RACK! Lash dribbles Fyre in the ropes! Lash then swings Fyre around for a GUTBUSTER! Cover, TWO!
Lash CHOKES Fyre on the ropes but lets off at 4. Lash talks more trash while Fyre sputters. Lash drags Fyre out, reels her into underhooks, and then STALLING BUTTERFLY SUPLEXES! Lash kips up but fans boo as she soaks up the heat. Lash stands on Fyre, but Fyre pushes her away. Lash drags Fyre up, whips, but Fyre reverses and sends Lash into buckles! TORNADO DDT! Fans fire up as Fyre hurries to the corner. Fyre climbs, fans rally, but Lash ROCKS Fyre first! Lash climbs up then brings Fyre up, but Fyre fights off the superplex. Fyre DECKS Lash off the corner, then adjusts to leap, but Lash dodges! Lash gets the bat but Fyre SUPERKICKS her first!
Fyre SUPERKICKS Lash again! Then Fyre hooks Lash up, for the Gory Especial to the GORY BOMB! Fyre hurries back up top and fans fire up again! SWANTON BOMB!! Cover, Fyre wins!
Winner: Alba Fyre, by pinfall
Lash played with Fyre, and she got burned! Will Fyre use this to blaze a trail to the top of NXT?
Melo & Trick talk backstage.
Trick explains to Melo the rules of the NXT UK British Rounds matches. Six minute rounds, each three minutes long, with about 20 seconds of rest in between. First one to two falls wins, so that’s pins, submissions and count-outs. Unless Trick knocks Wes out cold, haha! Him and his crying ass. A young woman walks over and asks if Melo & Trick can help with their engine problems. Well, yeah! They do it all. Trick & Melo get under the hood. Do they have jumper cables?
Nikkita Lyons speaks.
Kiana James, I saw your PowerPoint presentation on me, but you didn’t have to dig too deep because I’m an open book. I own who I am, and I am damn proud of where I come from. I didn’t have to do any research on you, Kiana, because I’ve dealt with girls like you my entire life. You think you’re better than everyone, you think you can judge me just because I don’t fit in the small box that you think a woman should look and act like. Well, take a real good look, Kiana. Because this is who I am, and I am not changing for anybody, especially you. Now, if you wanna try and change my mind, you can come find me next week. I’ll be waiting in the middle of the ring.”
Falls Count Anywhere: Solo Sikoa VS Von Wagner w/ Robert Stone!
The Street Champion of the Island says this ISN’T Wagner’s World, and throwing grown men around only gets you so far. Will Solo prove that the bigger they are, the harder they fall? Or will Von’s vicious streak stop Solo’s run at the top of NXT?
The bell rings and the two rush each other! Solo dodges, CHOPS and ROCKS, repeat! Solo whips Von, CLOBBERS Von, then stalks him out of the ring. Solo stalks Von around the way, and runs him over!

Fans rally, “UCE! SO!” Solo runs in to HIP ATTACK!
Fans fire up with Solo while Von flops out of the ring. Solo pursues, Stone distracts him, and Von RAMS Solo into apron. Then RAMS him into steel steps! Von pulls the steps apart, drags Solo over, and he SMACKS Solo off the base! Fans rally for Solo and taunts Von, but Von drags the base steps around towards the ramp. Von then puts the steps in the ring and brings Solo over. Von CLUBS Solo, puts him in the ring, and then looks under the ring. Von gets chairs! Von puts those in a couple at a time, then gets in to take aim. Von JAMS Solo, then SMACKS him on the back! Solo writhes but Von SMACKS him again! And again!

Winner: Solo Sikoa, by pinfall
The bigger they are, the harder they fall! And because Solo’s pretty big himself, that leap from the top was massive! Solo gets a huge win, is he finally on to bigger and better in NXT?
My Thoughts:
In the HHH Era of WWE Creative across the board, and in the post-SummerSlam week, we just got one hell of an NXT! Opening with the NXT Women’s Tag Team Match was a great choice, because the match had so much time to breathe. I am so glad that Toxic Attraction didn’t win. This was the moment we needed actual new tag champions, and Kayden & Katana were the right choice. This is a new phase in their team’s story, they can take on Ivy & Tatum as well as Leon & Feroz and any other teams that form. Toxic Attraction had a great freak out, too, including Mandy’s part in it.
But what BS for Mandy to beat Sarray in a four paragraph match. Sarray is challenging Meiko Satomura for the NXT UK Women’s title, and could possibly “return” from the UK with the title. Sarray was red hot before the change to NXT 2.0, she deserves to be that again now that HHH is in charge of everything. But at least we got Stark running off Mandy. A good promo from Roxanne to respond to Cora, and Cora had a decent response to Roxanne. Mandy trying to cut a deal with Cora and then Cora telling her no was a great bit, though. Heels don’t need to get along, because duh, they’re Heels. Cora is still having a match with Stark all the same, but maybe Roxie attacks Cora to force their grudge match.
Nikkita Lyons had a good promo to respond to Kiana James, and their match is going to be good, but obviously a win for Lyons. At least, I would think. Tiffany had a very good promo to put herself over and talk trash on Wendy. There has to be something Wendy does that compels Tiffany to give her another match, and that could even happen at Heatwave. Fyre VS Lash was pretty good but I figured Fyre would win. After everything with Mandy, Cora, Roxie and Stark sorts out, Fyre probably has a match with whoever is champion. Honestly, hoping Stark takes the title at Heatwave, and then Stark can start to prove herself against big names like Fyre.
The interaction and match between Axiom and Duke was interesting. I should’ve figured Duke would turn into a bully of the comic book loving mathlete, but it was a great bit of David VS Goliath with Axiom getting the better of Duke. I hope they let Axiom give a promo where he shows us he was going after that leg to weaken it to make it harder on Duke to kick out of that victory roll. But ironically, it’s The Irish Ace who was given this “cerebral dissector” kind of character. He and Bron had a decent contract signing segment, but Jordan Devlin is still being restrained a bit by this new personality. As long as the match is awesome, it should be alright, though.
Awesome tag team match, and what a great moment for Legado to mutiny against Tony D. Creeds retain so that Diamond Mine can continue their story with passive aggressive Roddy and the rest of the group getting sick of his crap. And then this “Final Accord” between Escobar and Tony, I would love if that was a cinematic match like NXT gave Ciampa and Gargano in their “final chapter.” Who knows how it goes, but it’d make sense if Escobar won to give Tony some true comeuppance. And if not, then maybe Legado del Fantasma is “run out of” NXT so that they can all go to RawDown together as a faction to really spice things up.
An interesting interaction in the NXT UK Tag champions and The Schism. Gacy seems to be obsessed with all second generation wrestlers since he is a single generation, and he got a very good match out of Jensen. They also seem specifically interested in Fallon joining them as their female stable member. It is pretty decent continuity, actually, since Gacy had Fallon as one of the three wrestlers lined up for his All Inclusive Challenge. Who knows how that goes, but Pretty Deadly screwed Jensen over, so there’s a lot building for the NXT UK tag titles stateside. Maybe a Triple Threat, Briggs & Jensen VS Pretty Deadly VS Grizzled Dyad?
I loved how that Open Challenge went. Melo did say whoever gets in the ring, not who gets on stage first. So Frazer slips in, takes the match, gives Melo a run for his money, but of course Vinci makes sure Frazer loses. Frazer VS Vinci 1v1 will be awesome, too, I can’t wait to see it. Wes had a good promo to call out Trick, and them having a British Rounds Match is going to be a lot of fun. And of course, a really good Falls Count Anywhere out of Solo and Von. I do like the cameos from Melo, Trick and Grimes. All that could be a tease that the North American Championship is soon going to have another big ladder match, with Melo, Grimes, Solo, Von, Vinci and Frazer as our six. Solo of course wins, and with a great table spot. If nothing else, Solo finally has next up against Melo 1v1.
My Score: 8.8/10

It’s the Double or Nothing Buy-In!
Join Renee Paquette, RJ City & Jeff Jarrett in discussing, predicting and analyzing all the action about to happen in Glendale, Arizona!
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
Lexy Nair asks the One & Only how he feels going into not just AEW’s first Stretcher Match, but his own first stretcher match against the unpredictable Mark Briscoe. Ricochet says Lexy is smarter than Renee Paquette & Tony Schiavone combined, but that’s not saying much. That said, this is his first Stretcher Match, but while some say Mark is unpredictable, Ricochet says Mark’s brainless. Speaking of brainless, there have been a lot of discourse online about the rules of a Stretcher Match, so allow Ricochet to explain.
Rule one: Ricochet incapacitates Mark long enough to place his dumbass on a stretcher. Ricochet then rolls said stretch up to the lovely ambulance the local hospital has supplied for them. Ricochet puts the stretcher in the ambulance, close the doors, and Mark immediately receives the best medical care possible for the beating Ricochet just put upon him! Um, what’s rule two? Rule two is that there ARE no rules, outside of rule one. AHA~! Ricochet heads out, but will he make this Stretcher Match #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he fail to #ManUp against the Sussex County Chicken?
Buy-In: Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford VS Anna Jay & Harley Cameron!

Backstage interview with The Sons of Texas.
Alex Marvez is with Sammy Guevara & Dustin Rhodes, and he’s ready to rep the #DayOneGuys. Marvez notes Sammy was part of that very first Double or Nothing in 2019. Safe to say, things have changed? Yes, that is true. Sammy is a husband and dad! He has a legendary tag partner, and he even has new merchandise! But tonight, things change again as the Sons of Texas become the NEW AEW World Tag Team Champions! The Natural’s very first AEW match was with his brother, Cody, and that remains one of, if not THE bloodiest match in AEW history. Is Dustin going to bring that same level of violence?
Dustin says yes, absolutely. He wants everyone to know that last night, he was pondering on this moment. He looked out the window and saw this storm rolling in. It didn’t look good. It looked really, really bad. Hurt Syndicate, the Sons of Texas want more gold. Understand, try and hurt Dustin! There’s nothing he hasn’t already been through! This is for ALL the gold! This is the Natural, Dustin Rhodes, a living legend! The Spanish God, Sammy Guevara! They are the UNDEFEATED ROH World Tag Team Champions! Do they have a chance? Yes, they do! On any given Sunday, anything can happen, so watch out!
You wanna hurt ’em? Bring the best you got, because it just won’t be enough! Dustin & Sammy want more, but will that ambition be their downfall? Or will they be the ones that hurt people?

Winners: Swerve Strickland, Kenny Omega, Willow Nightingale & The Opps, by pinfall
This was absolute anarchy from start to finish, and even had extra teammates beyond what was advertised! But in the end, justice prevailed, as brutal as it was.
