Bron Breakker is here!
The NXT Championship is still on his shoulder after making it through NXT Heatwave, and through the Irish Ace, JD McDonagh. Bron gets a mic while fans bark, and he says, “Orlando, where my dogs wat?” The fans bark more and Bron says last week, JD and Bron had a banger in the ring. JD proved that when he steps through these ropes, he is one of the very best in the world. After the match, the NXT UK Champion, Tyler Bate, made his presence known. Fans chant for the “Big Strong Boy!” Bron is pretty sure Tyler didn’t fly here for the miles, so he should come out to the ring so they can talk. And so Tyler Bate appears again!
Tyler steps into the ring with a mic to once again be face-to-face with Bron. Tyler says the fans are kind to chant for him. And he thanks Bron for the kind invitation. And congratulations on the win last week against JD. Tyler’s been in the ring with JD, too, so he knows how good JD is, so big respect to Bron. And Bron is correct, Tyler is here for more than the air miles. Now, NXT UK has been host to some of the best this business has to offer. Right here and now, Tyler is the proud flagbearer of NXT UK, as the first and last NXT UK. With NXT Europe around the corner, Tyler can’t think o fa better way to kick things off than by unifying these two titles!
Fans cheer for that and Bron smiles. Bron knows who Tyler is, he was watching from afar. He knows how big of a threat Tyler is to the NXT Championship. And hell, thinking of NXT UK means thinking of Tyler Bate! But this isn’t the UK, this is THE NXT, where the greatest superstars in the world are! Fans cheer and bark, and Bron says he does agree: there should be ONE NXT Champion. “So in two weeks, let’s make history! Worlds Collide, Champion VS Champion, Title for Title!” Fans cheer as Tyler and Bron shake hands, then they both hold up their belts. Who will be THE NXT Champion after this epic NXT UK finale?
Gallus speaks.
Mark Coffey admits, they’re three street hooligans who love a good scrap. But they never start fights they can’t finish. Wolfgang adds that for over three years, they’ve been the most dominant faction in NXT UK. The longest reigning tag team champions in NXT UK history. Joe says now, NXT will learn what they beat into the UK. They attacked Diamond Mine in their NXT 2.0 debut then called out Briggs & Jensen. “This is always and forever, Gallus Boys On Top!” Will they soon make ALL of NXT their kingdom?
NXT UK Tag Team Championships: Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen w/ Fallon Henley VS Gallus!

Grayson Waller talks with a production staffer.
Lights are ready? Yes. Graphics are ready? Yes. Microphone set up? Uh… Seriously? That’s the most important part! Do it now! Hurry! The Grayson Waller Effect talk show debuts after the break!
Andre Chase introduces a new student.
They met this tremendous competitor during their field trip in the UK. Someone who’s lineage is steeped in the British catch-as-catch-can wrestling style. It is Charlie Dempsey! The others applaud his arrival, and Charlie is going to teach our class some moves. The volunteer steps up, gets on his hands and knees, and Dempsey immediately pushes him over, gets the leg and arm for his Blackpool Bow ‘n’ Arrow! Okay, easy, easy! This is just a demonstration! Dempsey lets off and the volunteer crawls away. Okay, Bodhi, let’s give it a go. He’s more advanced. Bodhi offers a handshake but Dempsey uses that to yank Bodhi into a clinch and neck wrench!
The other students are scared of Dempsey as he wraps Bodhi up in a sleeper, and even pinches Bodhi’s nose closed! Bodhi taps and Chase has Dempsey let off again. That’s enough! Bodhi sputters, and then he gets pissed! This is just practice, man! Chase has them stand down. Dempsey clearly misunderstood the purpose of this class. Maybe he wasn’t the right person to ask. Dempsey says this class is too soft! For homework, google “Billy Robinson.” Dempsey storms off, will the Chase U prospects learn to toughen up?
NXT makes it official!
For NXT Worlds Collide, September 4th, it will be a UNIFICATION MATCH! Bron Breakker VS Tyler Bate, Winner Takes All to be the UNDISPUTED NXT Champion! What other matches between both brands will be made these next 11 days?
Grayson Waller is in the ring.
And he snatches Vic Joseph’s mic! Enough screen time for you, Vic! Cameras on Waller for this historic night! Lights! Music! And graphics! Waller smiles as he takes a seat, this is G W E! The Grayson Waller Effect! NXT’s been aching for a show like this, and he will be the buzz of not only NXT but ALL the WWE Universe! Fans chant for “Johnny Wrestling!” but Waller says it doesn’t matter, that guy doesn’t wanna be in the ring with Waller! Every other talk show is about the guests, but make no mistake, this show is about Waller! And since he’s on the cutting edge of content innovation, go to his Instagram right now, submit a question!
Waller says he might even use these questions for his guest tonight. A one-of-a-kind athlete, a former WWE Intercontinental Champion, a former WWE United States Champion, he’s almost done it all. But for some reason, this guy is in NXT to take opportunities away from everyone. It’s APOLLO~… Crews. And as such, Apollo makes his way out. Apollo goes to the ring, gets a mic and looks Waller’s set over. “Wow, wow, wow, look at this! The Grayson Waller Effect really is in full effect. You did it up, man.” He’s got Instagram Live with fan interaction, good job. Apollo takes his seat at the desk but the chair goes down.
Fans chant “Grayson Sucks!” “NO!” but Waller says they’ll skip the niceties. Apollo, “How does it feel to be nothing more than a clout chaser?” Waller gets it, though. Everyone steals from his hype train! AJ Styles tried it. Half these Brits are trying it. And Apollo’s first night back- Whoa, hold on. Waller is asking Apollo why people are trying to steal from Waller. But why is Apollo here? Because Apollo Crews was born in NXT! Fans cheer that while Waller rolls his eyes. Apollo found something missing in himself, and he came back to NXT to find it. He knew some people would love it, like all the fans here. And he knew some would hate it and be jealous, like Waller here.
Waller is jealous? Absolutely! Here’s a question no one else has the balls to ask: Didn’t Apollo use to have an accent? Apollo laughs that off as Waller mocks the “proud Nigerian Warrior.” But now he’s back in NXT, no accent, no native garb, what’s up with that? “Is this the accent that you’re talking about, huh? Is this the one?” Yeah, there it is! Don’t get it twisted, dog. Apollo is still a Nigerian warrior. And Waller’s asking this like he should be ashamed? He’s proud of his heritage. He went to WrestleMania 37 and became Intercontinental Champion. Fans cheer that but Apollo says he got too caught up on the past and forgot about the future. So that brings Apollo to why he’s here again.
Oh, so he’s admitting he’s selfish? Let’s go to Instagram! Here’s one! “What are these visions you have? Can you do it on the show? On the first episode of the Grayson Waller Effect! You have a gift, do it, do it!” Apollo says it doesn’t work that way. He’s a big dreamer, a visual thinker, and we can all speak things into existence. There’s no greater force than knowing yourself. Oh so you’re saying you know what’s gonna happen? Like if someone will be in trouble, he can help them out? What a gift! But uh… Where was he when Gallus attacked Diamond Mine? That’s some scummy stuff! He knew something would happen but did nothing?
Well, first, stop interrupting him. That’s not how it happens. Uh, that’s exactly how it happens! Diamond Mine gets laid out after Apollo tries to tear them down! Apollo gets up but Waller backs off. Where’s Waller going? This was a conversation, mate. If Apollo can’t handle the heat, that’s on him. Oh, here’s a question: Grayson from Australia wants to know how Apollo feels about getting run out of NXT? Ain’t nobody running from Waller. Here’s a better question from Apollo in Orlando! Waller, how doe sit feel to be a low budget version of The Miz? OOOOOH! Wow. Waller doesn’t know if anyone gets it, but that’s a compliment! No, it’s not.
Fans chant “Low Budget Miz! Low Budget Miz!” Waller tells Apollo here’s another one. “How does it feel every single night when you go home to your kids, and you gotta tell ’em Daddy couldn’t cut it on Mondays and Fridays, so now he’s back in NXT?” Apollo tells Waller that he tells his kids, “Dad was a champ on Monday, Dad was a champ on Friday, and Dad’s soon gonna be a champ on Tuesday.” Fans cheer as Apollo DECKS Waller! And that, Waller, is the APOLLO CREWS EFFECT! Will Apollo prove he’s the ACE of NXT? Or will Waller get the last laugh?
Security does its best to guide Gallus out of the building.
But then Gallus spots Pretty Deadly! Kit Wilson smirks while Elton Prince says, “Excuse me, big boys. Being Pretty Deadly copycats doesn’t look good on you.” Kit adds, “Surprise! You’re not as good as us. So no matter how hard you try, you can’t steal our thunder.” Wolfgang says they’re talking a big game in front of security. Mark says they’re not here for Pretty Deadly, they’re here to take THEIR titles home! OH, their titles? Kit, remind Elton who took those titles from Gallus. It was Pretty Deadly, Elly! It was! Joe says that Briggs & Jensen and Diamond Mine aside, Gallus can definitely handle these two!
Security has to stop Gallus from getting at Pretty Deadly, and Pretty Deadly laugh as they leave. Will Gallus settle up with the tag team champions and their bitter rivals all at once?
Tyler Bate speaks.
“Hello, hello. Tyler Bate here, the first-ever, and now current NXT UK Champion. I have been the proud flagbearer of NXT UK since day one. In the six year history of the brand, I’ve grown up from a 19-year-old kid to a 25-year-old man. I’m called the Big Strong Boy for a reason. Ask anyone I’ve been it he ring with. At Worlds Collide, the NXT UK chapter comes to a close the same way it started: with me holding up this title.” But will it be a happy ending for Tyler Bate when he holds up that title and the NXT Championship together?
Backstage interview with Von Wagner & Robert Stone.
Stone interrupts McKenzie to say that Tyler Bate looks to survive, not unify titles. Everyone loves Tyler, but this is a new NXT. You think Von cares that Tyler is a two-time NXT UK Champion? That he’s the #1 attraction in all of Europe? That he’s the franchise? Von says Tyler is an international superstar, the Big Strong Boy. But Von is a big strong man! And we’ll see how strong and tough Tyler really is! And after Von crushes Tyler, he won’t even make it to Worlds Collide!
Cameron Grimes VS Javier Bernal!
Via a WWE Digital Exclusive, we learn that Bernal was talking trash about how he could’ve done some serious damage to the depressed Cameron Grimes. This is “Big Body Javi.” And in this match, Bernal makes his TV debut by knocking off the former North American Champion! But everyone else thinks he’s just a prick. Will Bernal back up his words? Or will Grimes use Bernal to reinvigorate his career and go #ToTheMoon?
But as Grimes makes his entrance, The Schism is watching from the perch! Will they not leave Grimes alone? But Grimes focuses on Bernal as the bell rings, until Gacy speaks. “Cameron, good luck.” Grimes and Bernal tie up, Grimes powers Bernal to a corner and digs his hands in. Bernal freaks out over that, and the ref backs Grimes up. Bernal was just exaggerating so he could CHOP BLOCK Grimes! Bernal BOOTS Grimes, fires off at the ropes, then whips Grimes to ropes. Grimes reverses and KICKS Bernal down! Fans fire up and Grimes snarls. Grimes storms in but Bernal YANKS him into buckles!
Bernal CLUBS Grimes, ROCKS him then kicks him. Bernal whips, Grimes reverses again but Bernal hits a BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Bernal glares and stalks Grimes to a corner. Bernal stomps Grimes, digs his boot in, but lets off as the ref counts. Bernal clamps on with a chinlock but Grimes endures. Fans rally, Grimes fights up, and Grimes snapmares free! Bernal tackles Grimes but Grimes kicks him away to then KANGAROO KICK on the rebound! Bernal comes back again but into a back drop! Bernal flounders up, Grimes CLOBBERS him! And again! Grimes whips Bernal to ropes, then kitchen sink KNEES Bernal down! SLIDING KICK!
Fans fire up as Bernal goes to a corner. Bernal avoids the boot but not the SUPERKICK! Grimes aims, fans fire up, “TO! THE! MOON!” CAVE-IN!! Grimes stares Gacy down while he covers, Grimes wins!
Winner: Cameron Grimes, by pinfall
Grimes stares Gacy down even after, making sure Gacy understands he doesn’t need The Schism. But will the Schism disagree and “insist” he join them?
Blair Davenport speaks.
“Who is Blair Davenport, you ask? I’m what you get when you mix gothic charisma with cold-hearted fury.” Born in England, raised in New Zealand, she has a wicked willingness to do whatever she has to in order to win. So a message to the NXT Women’s Division: Enemies of the Heir, Beware Blair Davenport.
Alba Fyre speaks.
“No matter the weather, terrain or situation, those Fire Keepers kept those embers burning. Just like I won’t let anyone extinguish my flame. Lash won’t be the only woman to test me, but soon, all of them will know what she already knows: I am a warrior, and I will do whatever it takes to win. And to honor the women who surrounded that flame. From the Howls and Lochs of Scotland, all the way to NXT, keep your eyes peeled on the horizon. Because where there’s smoke, there’s Fyre!”
Blair Davenport VS Indi Hartwell!
The gothic heiress makes her NXT 2.0 in-ring debut, ready to prove she will dominate the world. But will she look less than #IMPRESSIVE against #IndiWrestling?
NXT returns and Blair makes her entrance. The bell rings and the two tie up. Indi puts Blair on ropes but lets off. They tie up again, Blair puts Indi in a corner, and she shoves Indi. Indi shoves back, rolls Blair up, ONE! Indi headlocks for a takeover but Blair fights up fast. Blair throws body shots, powers out, but Indi runs her over! Indi drags Blair up to a headlock to then hit another takeover. Blair fights up, fans rally, and Blair pulls hair. Blair then throws body shots, whips Indi, but Indi goes up and out. Indi ROCKS Blair, but Blair SHOTGUNS Indi down! Blair goes out to shove Indi but Indi avoids the post!
Indi elbows Blair, puts her in the ring, but Blair gets her with a DRAPING NECKBREAKER! Indi writhes, the ref checks on her, but Blair is chomping at the bit. Blair stomps Indi, the ref backs her off, but Blair gets Indi up to TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Cover, TWO! Indi is toughing it out and fans rally up but Blair clamps onto her. Blair wants the arms but Indi resists. Blair still gets the cobra clutch and she thrashes Indi around! Indi fights up, Blair throws knees, then hops on for a SLEEPER! Indi stays up and BACKPACK SENTONS! Blair lets go and both women crawl while fans rally up.
Blair and Indi head for each other, and Blair clinches. Indi ROCKS Blair! Then counter punches her! Then runs Blair over! Indi LARIATS, then dodges, to hit a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Blair survives but Indi drags her up. Indi puts Blair in the ropes for an UPPERCUT, a BOOT, and then she climbs up as Blair flops over. Blair trips Indi off the top! Cover, TWO! Blair drags Indi up, but Indi gets a cradle! TWO! Blair BUZZSAWS Indi, then hauls her up! FALCON ARROW! Cover, Blair wins!!
Winner: Blair Davenport, by pinfall
It was rough from the start, but that’s how Blair likes it! Will all of NXT have to beware of Blair? But Blair isn’t done with Indi! KAMI-GOYE!! Indi falls out of the ring and Blair gets a mic! “The most menacing mistress of NXT UK has arrived! And I have just WASTED one of the best that this division has to offer. But y’know, I was #1 contender in the UK, so… I guess that the NXT Women’s Championship will do just fine. Because Blair Davenport is the rightful heir to the Women’s Championship!” But here comes the Toxic Goddess herself! Mandy Rose has the mic to tell Blair, “Wow. You’re reputation precedes you, honey.”
They haven’t met yet, so Mandy introduces herself. “And right now, you’re standing in MY ring, you entered into MY world, and in MY world, everyone follows my lead.” Mandy steps into the ring and tells Blair that Mandy is the most dominant women’s champion. And she’ll tell Blair like she’s told everyone else: put some respect on her name! You can’t just come over here and call the shots! Wait! MEIKO SATOMURA is here!! The Final Boss, the NXT UK Women’s Champion, is in the US! Meiko goes to the ring to stand with Blair and Mandy, also getting a mic. “Mandy, you’re wrong. You are not the most dominant Women’s Champion. That would be ME!”
Mandy tells Meiko that she is a legend, she’ll give Meiko that. But Mandy can’t think of a better way to put respect on her name than to beat a legend like Meiko! Well, at Worlds Collide, Mandy Rose VS Meiko Satomura, CHAMPION VS CHAMPION!! Blair says wait, hold on! No, no, no, these two can’t just forget about her! SHE is the #1 CONTENDER!! Fans tell Blair to “Shut The Hell Up!” but Meiko says okay. MAKE IT A TRIPLE THREAT MATCH!! The Final Boss dictates the terms, will the Goddess and the Heiress be able to hang with her?
Backstage interview with Tiffany Stratton.
Tiffany doesn’t care about the title scene right now, McKenzie, this is about her. Because she’s gonna beat Wendy Choo tonight, and then whoever walks out THE NXT Women’s Champion will have Tiffany to deal with. That sounds like she’s overlooking Wendy. Tiffany says, “Do I think I’m superior to my opponent? Um, yeah. Is that a crime? Um, no.” After tonight, Wendy won’t be able to show her face around here, which is a win for everyone. And then the Women’s Division and that unified title will be all about Tiffany. Tootles!
Tony D’Angelo meets with Legado Del Fantasma.
Last week, Elektra, Wilde & Cruz tried to get “cute.” They pulled out all the stops in that Street Fight: distractions, interference, brass knuckles. Cruz would’ve probably thrown the kitchen sink at Tony. But how’d that work out? This is why Tony is the Don and Escobar is gone! But Tony’s a forgiving man, so the past is the past. The future starts tonight with a win from Wilde & Cruz! C’mon, let’s go. Will Legado do as they’re told under Tony’s command? Or will the bitter taste in their mouths be too much to stomach?
JD McDonagh speaks.
“At Heatwave, I sacrificed myself. I stood in front of a charging bull, I just had to see what he had to offer. And y’know something? I think I enjoyed it more than you did. You’re never truly challenged if you run away from uncomfortable situations. Bron, my pain tolerance for you is only growing. So good luck at Worlds Collide. I’ll see you on the other side.” JD was hanging upside-down like a bat the whole time?! Will he fight his way back to the title? Or just creep out the competition?
Wes Lee & KC Squared respond to that.
Uh-uh, nope! That just gave Wes the creeps. Kayden asks Katana if she’s hung upside-down before. Yeah, but not like that! Between the ice bath, the acupuncture and then the finger prick with the pen, there is something wrong with JD! But let’s talk about the champs and all the gold that they have! Oh, oh! But take Wes’s advice. When you’re a champ, everyone’s coming for your titles. Keep your heads on a swivel. They have eyes on the back of their heads, and they’re the only true tag team champions in all of the WWE. They don’t need a tournament to prove it. Probably why they weren’t invited. OH!
But just like when Wes was a champ, KC Squared will take on anyone from anywhere. Worlds are colliding, and anyone who wants it can come get it. Wes is loving the vibes, but know someone is bound to pick that gauntlet up. KC Squared is counting on it! Well okay!
Indi Hartwell is still ringside?
She has a mic to say, “So this is what rock bottom feels like, huh? Sucks, doesn’t it? And no disrespect to Blair Davenport, she’s incredible. She’s probably gonna go unify the titles at Worlds Collide and take it back to NXT Europe. But Blair isn’t the problem. It’s me! It’s always been me!” Fans boo in disagreement but four months ago, Indi looked at herself and said she’s done with tears and setbacks. She was gonna stand on her own two feet, reach for the stars, reignite her career, but… Here she sits, in the same position she was after Stand & Deliver! What is she even saying? She’s just saying words!
WAIT! LUMIS IS HERE!! Indi turns around to see him!! They crawl to each other in the ring! Fans are going nuts for #InDex as they hug it out! And kiss! They’re reunited and they take their leave, Lumis carrying Indi away! They make it to the back, and Lumis gives Indi another message. She kisses him, and there are police sirens?! Well, he did kidnap Miz… Lumis is arrested and Indi looks at the letter. Fans are upset, but at least Lumis got to say- Er, write, good-bye.
Backstage interview with Cora Jade.
It was a controversial win, but Cora disagrees. She beat Roxanne Perez in the middle of that ring and no one believes she’s better? Yeah, yeah, everyone loves Roxie, she’s so amazing. But if Roxie’s amazing, then what does that make the woman who beat her? If the roles were reversed and Roxie DDT’d Cora on her kendo stick, everyone would be saying Cora got what she deserved! But because Cora does it, O M G, it’s the worst thing ever! And to all the guys who’ve never even been on a date, tweeting their little fingers away about how that should’ve been a disqualification, she has this to say: Go on a date! And no, inflatable dolls don’t count. Cora is better than Roxie, get over it.
Legado del Fantasma w/ Tony D’Angelo VS The Dyad w/ Joe Gacy!
Joaquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro have no choice but to follow The Don, while “Rip Fowler” and “Jagger Reed” chose to follow Joe Gacy. Whose leadership will lead their duo to a victory?
Returning the favor from earlier, Grimes is watching this match from the perch! Gacy takes notice and smiles, though he’s always smiling one way or another. Meanwhile, Tony snatches away the Legado shirts and throws them to the crowd! The teams sort out, and Cruz starts against Reed. The two circle, fans rally for Legado, and they tie up. Reed wrenches an arm, wristlocks, but Cruz rolls and kips up to wrench back. Cruz headlocks, Reed powers out, and thigs speed up. Reed hurdles, Cruz slides, and Reed denies the tilt-o-whirl. Cruz dodges the haymaker, RANAS Reed, and fans fire up! Tony doesn’t like the lucha?
Reed headlocks, Rip tags in, and things speed up again. Cruz dodges the haymaker from Rip to springboard and use Reed as a boost to FLYING ARM-DRAG Rip! Wilde gets in to RANA Reed out, and the Dyad regroups at the ramp. Legado double DIVE and take them out! Tony is upset and tells them no lucha crap! This is wrestling! Cruz puts Rip in and argues with Tony but Tony says he doesn’t care. Cruz shoulders into Rip, springboards and crossbodies, TWO! Fans rally, Cruz wrenches and wristlocks but Rip knees low! Rip sucker punches Wilde, too, but then Cruz JABS and CHOPS! Cruz whips, Rip holds ropes and BOOTS back!
Tag to Reed, Rip clinches and Reed ENZIGURIS! Then MAYHEM IN MOTION, down goes Wilde! Rip DIVES?! He never did that as Gibson, maybe Gacy’s teachings are working. Reed drags Cruz up to ROCK him with a left. Reed then ROCKS Cruz again, and he drags Cruz up for another haymaker! Cruz falls out, Rip tags in and sets him up, PLANCHA BACKBREAKER! That’s still grizzled, but hugging it out is definitely The Schism… The Dyad puts Cruz back in, Rip ROCKS Cruz but Cruz fights back! He BOOTS Rip, ROCKS Reed, but Rip knees low! Rip shoves but Cruz KICKS and ENZIGURIS! Fans fire up as both men crawl!
Hot tags to Reed and Wilde! Wilde springboard SENTONS Reed! Wilde fires off haymakers, dodges Reed and wheelbarrows to arm-drag him to a corner! Rip runs in but into a ripcord and CHOP! Wilde goes up, around and FLYING ARM-DRAGS Rip! Then he TILT-O-WHIRL DDTS! The fans are thunderous but Tony is furious! Clothesline and tag, Cruz GAMANGIRIS! Tag back, Legado hit a DOUBLE SUPELX! Cover, Rip breaks it! Cruz whips, Rip reverses and he throws Cruz out! Wilde DECKS Rip but Reed rolls him up! Wilde rolls through to swing around to a ghost pin, TWO!!
Reed runs in but into haymakers! Reed powers Wilde back, tag to Rip, but Wilde wheelbarrows. Reed feeds him to Rip! GRIT YOUR TEETH! And then, TICKET TO HAYHEM!! Cover, The Dyad wins!
Winners: The Dyad, by pinfall
Gacy celebrates with his disciples as they put the last nail in the coffin of Legado. They hug it out, and then they look to Grimes. Will Grimes join The Schism? Will Cruz & Wilde leave Tony?
Javier Bernal walks around backstage.
People tell him he had a good match and will get a win next time, but he shrugs it off. But then a young lady says he “almost” got that win. Almost? Almost might be good enough for someone like her, but for “Big Body Javi,” that doesn’t cut it. Next time she talks to him, show respect. But then Hank the security guard tells Bernal to respect a lady. Oh, whatever, man. He can do what he wants, he’s Big Body Javi! The young lady leaves and Hank tells Bernal he can call himself whatever he wants. But you do NOT talk to a woman like that. Time to hit the showers. Bernal leaves, but will Hank have to put this prick in his place?
Wilde, Cruz & Lopez storm out of the building.
They cannot believe how Tony’s treating them. Worst night ever. But then an SUV pulls up! And Escobar’s in the driver’s seat! “You didn’t think I was gonna leave without you, did you? La familia stays together. So you’re ready to go?” YES! Legado defies Tony D’Angelo and leaves NXT as one! But where will we see them next?
Tyler Bate VS Von Wagner w/ Robert Stone!
NXT UK’s first and only Triple Crown Champion is preparing to become the first UNDISPUTED NXT Champion, but that’s at Worlds Collide. Will Tyler survive entering Wagner’s World? Or will Bate prove who is really the big strong man around here?

Briggs says Strong went on and on about the Creeds being the best team in the WWE. But they’re not even the best team in NXT! Strong says Briggs and Jensen are both dorks! Julius tells Strong that his opinion doesn’t carry as much weight around here as it used to. Julius steps to Briggs & Jensen to say that if they want it, they can get it after Gallus! Both teams are looking forward to it, but will things get complicated in the NXT Tag Division with two brands merging as one?

There will be no disqualifications, no count-outs, and no holding back! Who wins and who goes night-night when it’s Lights Out?

Winner: Wendy Choo, by pinfall
And that’s night-night for Tiff-Tiff! Will Wendy use this momentum to get herself that future title opportunity Tiffany was talking about?
The champions and challengers are backstage for contract signings.
Blair signs her part, then Mandy signs hers. She slides the contract to Meiko, and Meiko signs her part. It is now official! The Triple Threat for the NXT and NXT UK Women’s Championships is official, it will be Winner Takes All! And at the same time, Bate and Bron sign their contract to make their match official! Who will be the UNDISPUTED NXT Champion and UNDISPUTED NXT Women’s Champion after Worlds Collide?
My Thoughts:
A great NXT to set us up for a lot of Worlds Collide action. It seems instead of transitioning the NXT UK titles into NXT Europe titles, they’re unifying NXT UK with their NXT US counterparts. Bron and Tyler had a great promo to set up their unification match, and I feel like that one could go either way. I personally hope Tyler wins, though. As great as Bron is, his push needs to slow down at some point. Tyler would make for a fresh top champion, but given JD’s promo, I have a bad feeling Bron wins. Tyler had a good match with Von, and of course Tyler wins, but this momentum might be to feed the usual booking math.
Speaking of JD, Wes Lee’s reaction to JD’s promo makes me think we get Wes VS JD as a feud before JD gets back to a title. And KC Squared talking smack on all the brands got me wondering if we’ll get crossover between NXT and a team from Raw or SmackDown. Blair VS Indi had a rough match, honestly. That Falcon Arrow did not land quite how it should have, but point was, of course Blair wins. Blair calls out the champs, the champs respond, and that Triple Threat will be great. But of course, this is to protect the champs while at least one of them loses their titles. I feel like the best scenario is Blair pinning Mandy so Meiko isn’t hurt, and then Blair will have to face the pressure of being chased.
I also like that we got quiet contract signings in the “office,” not wordy ones in the ring. We’ve seen plenty of contract signing segments, and will still see them again and again on RawDown, so NXT doesn’t need to waste time with them. But while the top singles titles are being unified, I’m surprised we’re not outright getting that with the tag titles. Honestly, that was the only weird spot of tonight. Lash attacking Fallon is one thing, but how was Pretty Deadly attacking Briggs & Jensen not a disqualification to end the title match? Either way, Gallus wins the match without taking the titles, so what would it matter?
Gallus and Diamond Mine get into it, but then so do Gallus and Pretty Deadly, and Diamond Mine with Briggs & Jensen. I do like that we’re getting these blended stories, but what does this mean for the UK tag titles? Will there be one last UK tag title match and then the titles are retired? Will we get Creeds VS Briggs & Jensen? Or will we get a wild Fatal 4 Way that’s also Winners Take All? Personally, hoping for that third option. It’d work out much like the Women’s Triple Threat, where the champions are protected. One team, or both teams, could lose their belts, and then they chase the new Undisputed NXT Tag Team Champions in the Fall.
Bernal is rising up the ranks since he got to face Grimes tonight, but of course he loses. And “Hank” is totally gonna kick Bernal’s ass at some point, that’ll be great for Hank. The Schism watching Grimes and Grimes watching Schism, Grimes VS Gacy probably won’t be set up for the go-home, but it could help lead the way into what comes after Worlds Collide. Legado VS Dyad was a great tag match, but it makes sense in many ways for Dyad to win. Dyad needs something to get going, and it was a great sendoff for Legado since they’re ALL leaving NXT to probably show up on SmackDown this Friday. Or the Friday after Clash at the Castle so they can hit the ground running.
Great introduction to Charlie Dempsey for the NXT 2.0 fans, and him feuding with Chase U is going to be a lot of fun. Cora has a good promo talking trash on, well, internet fans like even myself. I will neither confirm or deny her assumptions about not having gone on a date or anything else of that kind, but I did question why a kendo stick DDT wasn’t a DQ. But this also means Cora VS Roxie II is on the horizon and that’s going to be awesome. Also good promo from Alba Fyre, reminding everyone that she’s still here and will be coming for the women’s championship in the future, too.
I loved the #InDex reunion, and I even love that it didn’t last because Lumis had to be (kayfabe) arrested. Lumis can get out on bail for kidnapping, Indi can join him on Raw, and we can even get to #InDex VS the It Couple, Miz & Maryse. That match probably won’t happen for Clash at the Castle, that’s too soon. But Extreme Rules is in October, and something about that feels just right for Dexter Lumis’ first major WWE event. And last but not least, we got an awesome match out of Wendy VS Tiffany under “Lights Out,” which is just Isla Dawn’s “World of Darkness.” But either way, great stuff, from the Legos to the bedframe breaking. And I am so glad it’s Wendy who won, she deserved the win in this blow-off, and with a 66% chance of a Heel being Women’s Champion, Wendy is a great Face to go after the title.
My Score: 8.6/10

Okada bails out and the fans boo. Briscoe waits on Okada while commentary tells Callis he and Okada committed the most despicable thing in all of wrestling. Callis of course says it was the most shrewd tactical move in the history of wrestling. Okada takes his time returning into the ring, and then he circles with Briscoe. They tie up and are in a deadlock. They go around, Okada puts Briscoe on the ropes, but he lets off slowly.
Okada fakes the chop, and pats Briscoe on the shoulders. The fans are torn, but Briscoe kicks Okada and TOSSES him!

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