Waller takes advantage of damage done by accident, and he blinds Apollo in the end! Will Waller use anything and everything to win and reach the top of NXT?
Diamond Mine fires up backstage.
If Gallus thinks they’re hooligans, that’s fine! We all know they’re pussycats, and this is going to be a dogfight! Is Damon Kemp hungry? Starving! Brutus says the Coffey Brothers ain’t got nothing on the Creed Brothers! But then Roderick Strong walks in and says that he knows they still don’t trust him, but he got security footage from the ceiling cameras! It’ll show- Julius says the only thing that those will show is that he doesn’t trust Strong! They’ve gotta get ready for the Six Man Tag that they’re going to dominate, because they trust each other! Trust?! After everything they’ve been through?! Forget this!
Strong storms off and Kemp says even he doesn’t trust Strong anymore. Brutus says that’s the nail in the coffin! But then Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley walk in. She tells them that this is enough. While the boys have been arguing like children, she & Tatum have been training for a shot at the NXT Women’s Tag Titles. Tatum’s face needs a brace because of Ivy’s training, and they’re teammates. So the boys need to stop being petty and get it together. The Creeds & Damon agree. Will all of Diamond Mine be united when the pressure is on?
Bron Breakker is in the locker room.
And Finn Balor walks in?! The Prince stares the NXT Champion down, and he knows Bron knows who he is. And that means Bron knows Finn is the guy who held that title for more days than anyone. Finn made that title the industry standard for who is the best. Now, it is Bron’s responsibility to hold up that lineage. But Finn likes Bron, so he’ll give Bron some advice. Finn’s beaten guys twice as big as him. “So on Sunday, don’t underestimate the moment, and don’t underestimate your opponent. Good luck.” Finn leaves, but will this pressure break or make Bron when Worlds Collide?
Kayden Carter & Katana Chance VS Ivy Nile & Tatum Paxley!
KC Squared are the NEW NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions, and they believe they’re the one true tag team in all of the WWE Women’s Division! But with the Diamond Pitbull and Power Lifter coming for them, and Toxic Attraction watching from the lounge, will the party last much longer? Or will it only turn up from here?
NXT returns and the Diamond Mine makes their entrance. The teams sort out and Ivy starts against Kayden. They circle, tie up, and go around. Ivy waistlocks, SLAMS Kayden down, then rolls her around. Kayden fights up, Ivy SLAMS her down again. Cover, ONE, but Ivy waistlocks again. Ivy flips around to sunset flip, TWO! Kayden has the prawn hold, TWO! Ivy swings, Kayden dodges to Eddy Gordo Kick!

Winners: Kayden Carter & Katana Chance, by pinfall
Give a toxic assist to Toxic Attraction! Tatum & Ivy regroup and Katana gets the mic. “Ladies, don’t worry, we’ll do this again soon. Now, we set out to be fighting champions. But we have defeated all the teams here in NXT to get our hands on these titles.” Kayden says that they did, and points out that NXT UK has NO Women’s Tag Teams! So tell ’em, Katana! It’ll be a party in the parking- WAIT!! “Doudrop” Piper Niven is here!? As is NIKKI A.S.H!! The Celtic Connection of Monday Night Raw is here on NXT! They get in the ring with the champs, and fans chant “Welcome Back!”
Piper says, “Now, I love a good party, just as much as you ladies do. But… How about instead of dancing in the parking lot, on Sunday, we do a little dance right here in this ring?” And Nikki says they’ll do it for the NXT Women’s Tag Team titles!! KC Squared shake hands, and the match is on! But Piper & Nikki don’t let the champs go, they make sure they stare them all straight in the eye. Will Piper & Nikki go from almost WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions to the duo that douDROPS the beat?
Kiana James is in her office.
She’s yelling at someone about business, and then a message is brought in. Tell “Jared at Schumer” to get it done! And thanks, Gia. Kiana says that unlike her opponent tonight, Zoey Stark, she knows how to get things done. Zoey had her chance at the NXT Women’s Championship and blew it. And she was so beat up from that, she couldn’t compete in the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship tournament. Zoey ruined that for herself and Nikkita Lyons. What a liability. Nowadays, we have a term for those who can’t escape poor performance: “Tryhard.” Zoey suffers from the delusion of adequacy. But leave it to Zoey to overpromise and underdeliver.
After tonight, it will be a long, long time before Zoey gets another title opportunity. Kiana then gets back to business. Did he get it done? Yes? Good. Will Kiana handle her business and do as she promises? Or will Zoey show us who the real tryhard is around here?
The Schism speaks.
Joe Gacy says, “We are about to have a Great Recognition Ceremony, which allows more branches to grow, more opportunities for those searching for direction.” Cameron Grimes may be rich in wealth, but time is money. And the time has come for Grimes to decide his future. “The offer is yours to accept.” But will Grimes accept what Gacy is offering? Or will he reject it with major Cave-In?
Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams arrive.
NXT Media catches up with them, but he says unless this is about his opponent for Worlds Collide, there’s nothing to talk about. And never talk to them again! Well then, is Melo expecting a day off this Sunday? Or is he asking NXT to come up with someone to face him?
The Schism is in the ring.
NXT returns as they stand on a podium, and Gacy says, “Great things happen when worlds collide, but longing things bloom when worlds come together. Thankful to the NXT Universe can bare witness to tonight’s Great Recognition Ceremony. Seven days ago, the Dyad proved that our way of life is undeniable. Rip Fowler, Jagger Reed, by defeating Legado del Fantasma, two men from a fractured family, you scored a victory for everyone that lives in harmony. And for that, you will be rewarded.” Gacy has smiley face buttons, and says these represent the great strides each of them have made. And the great recognition each of them have earned as they climb higher into the Schism’s tree.
Reed thanks Gacy for affirming what they now know to be true: “Together, we are gracious. Together, we are whole.” Rip says together, they have been recognized. Gacy’s virtues and teachings have empowered them to see that there is inner strength when they are together. Gacy is inspired by their growth, and their ascension only allows more space in the grass for others to find their home under the tree. Grimes, they see you wandering around aimlessly and lonely. They have a special seat for him to come and join them. Follow their footsteps! Surprisingly, Grimes does make his way out here!
Fans cheer Grimes on as he makes his way to the ring. Grimes gets himself a mic and Gacy says it’s so good to see him! Grimes says he didn’t come out here to be part of their celebration. But he does need to talk with Gacy. These last few weeks, they’ve been following him and asking him to join the group. Grimes has an answer for them. Then tell us, Cameron! Grimes says the more he thinks about it, the more it just all makes sense. He doesn’t NEED them! Grimes doesn’t need anybody to go TO~ THE~ MOON~! Gacy frowns and says Grimes’ loneliness is killing him. Grimes says these words, but just beneath the surface is nothing but misery!
Gacy understands that it is tough to go all in and lose. Grimes, you are one of the toughest superstars in NXT, but you wear a mask that hides all of your insecurities. Grimes lost the North American Championship, he fell victim to Bron Breakker, and he must admit that The Schism is right. They will leave him alone if he admits he is lonely. Oh, the bad part is, Gacy is right. Grimes lost the North American title, he lost to Bron, but more importantly: he got himself in those situations and he can do it again! Cameron Grimes don’t need nobody! So before things get worse, he’s leaving.
Gacy says this is another night without a title, without a family, and without a father. Grimes stops in his tracks and storms back up! The Dyad try to stop him but they get thrown out! Gacy handsprings, but instead of hitting his lariat, he HUGS Grimes! Grimes shoves him away, the Dyad gets in again, but Gacy has everyone stand down. Grimes leaves, but will The Schism get him to give in?
Roxanne Perez speaks.
“It’s hard to look back at the happiest moments of my life, and realize the person who I shared them with is someone I don’t even recognize anymore. When Cora hit me, I literally felt my heart break into two. Going into Heatwave, I wanted nothing more than to hurt Cora as much as she hurt me. But when I had the chance, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. In that moment, the memories we made, the secrets we kept, the dreams we shared, ran through my mind. And I paid for it. Lesson learned. Next time, there’s no hesitation! Cora’s and my friendship is over, but Cora and I are not.” When and where will Roxie come back for her revenge?
Tyler Bate is backstage.
And Fit Finlay says hello! Fans are happy to see Finlay, but it seems Finlay’s got a call for Bate on the line. It’s Pete Dunne! But this call is not for pleasantries. They were just kids when Bate beat Dunne in Blackpool to first become NXT UK Champion, but don’t forget that Dunne took it from him in Chicago. So Bate knows better than anyone that the UK title represents hard work. So on Sunday, unify the titles for the memories of NXT UK, for the future of NXT Europe, and for British Strong Style. Bate says thanks, mate. Bate looks at the belt on his shoulder. Will the Big Strong Boy be the one carrying the banner forward after Worlds Collide?
Mixed Six Tag: Josh Briggs, Brooks Jensen & Fallon Henley VS Pretty Deadly & Lash Legend!
There’s been beef between the good ol’ boys and the former NXT UK Tag Team Champions, as well as the Cowgirl having beef with the WNBA star. But will #CountryStrong stand tall going into Worlds Collide? Or will these #DeadlyLegends dunk on them with style?
The trios sort out, and it’s ladies first! Fallon and Lash tie up, go around, but Lash puts Fallon on ropes. Fallon pushes back but Lash bops her on the head. Fallon SLAPS Lash then KICKS her down!

Tag to Prince, Kit holds Briggs in and Prince uppercuts! Prince taunts Jensen then blows a kiss. Prince CLUBS away on Briggs then drags Briggs back up. Prince throws elbows down, then CHOKES Briggs on the ropes. Fans rally, the ref counts and Prince lets off. But Kit HOTSHOTS Briggs, and Lash gets a cheap shot in! Jensen & Fallon are furious, but that only distracts the ref from seeing Kit CHOKE Briggs! Prince goes after Briggs with stomps, then he tags Kit.
Pretty Deadly mugs Briggs, then Kit EuroUppers! Brings clinches but Kit fires off more uppercuts! Briggs starts giving them back! Kit trips Briggs, headlocks and he fires off palm strikes!

But no time to celebrate, the brawling spills into the ring! Gallus, Briggs & Jensen, Pretty Deadly, it’s all over the place! Will Gallus be able to cool down and regroup for their own 3v3 match later?
Mandy Rose is on the phone.
She wants to know where Gigi & Jacy ran off to. But then she’s visited by SHAYNA BASZLER! The Queen of Spades smirks at Mandy, and asks, “Problem with the sidekicks?” Mandy says no, just making sure they’re all on the same page. Shayna knows what that’s like, right? Shayna knows what it’s like to hold onto that NXT Women’s Championship. Mandy’s well aware. Mandy will be passing Shayna up like she has everyone else. Shayna will be surprised if Mandy even makes it past Worlds Collide. Uh, doesn’t Shayna have her own title match to worry about this weekend?
Liv’s already lost, because we all know Shayna’s going to tear her apart limb by limb. The only choice Liv will have in the matter is which limb it’ll be. Mandy may say she’s the Baddest Bitch in the Game, but when Shayna held that title, it wasn’t even a discussion. Everyone knew. Mandy, on the other hand, it is always a debate. But Mandy had better be the one to unify those titles for both the brand, and for herself. If not, everything she’s said the past year is garbage. Shayna leaves, will Mandy also have to live up to the expectations of the past?
WWE looks back at the origins of Connor’s Cure.
In 2014, Connor’s Cure was established to honor the life and memory of young Connor Michalek to help find a cure for pediatric cancer, so that no one else would have to go through the pain he did. After his passing, he was enshrined as the inaugural recipient of the Warrior Award for his bravery, love and hope. Through Connor’s Cure and V Foundation’s funding, they’ve awarded $4.5 million in grants and helped over 500 families worldwide. The WWE Universe has come together offering hope in the mission to kick cancer’s butt!
Backstage interview with JD McDonagh.
McKenzie notes that the last time we saw the Irish Ace, he was hanging upside-down while recovering from his match with Bron Breakker. You saw that? Well, of course, everyone saw that. And it seems everyone has an opinion on JD’s “experiment” with pain and the limits of the human body. Take Wes Lee, for example. He said JD is creepy. But JD gets it. To someone like Wes, such a meticulous self-care regimen is unorthodox. “But every single second is accounted for. Mind, body, heart, all designed to be without weakness. Intrusive thoughts? Muted. Agony can be dealt with. Internal anguish is nothing you need to concern yourself with.
“Can you imagine what it’s like to have a resting heartrate of 40? Or focus your mind beyond such petty things as feelings? I’d rather be like me and be a little…Â creepy… Than be like Wes Lee and be emotionally fragile.” Does McKenzie agree? Uh, sure… Will the Necessary Evil prove to the Must-See Kid that emotions are needless baggage in pro-wrestling?
Andre Chase w/ Bodhi Hayward & Thea Hail VS Charlie Dempsey!
The Professor wants the gritty grappler from Blackpool to learn a little something in restraint and self-control, but Dempsey says everyone in NXT has a thing to learn about wrestling. Who will be handing out the #TeachableMoment here tonight?
NXT returns as Dempsey makes his entrance. The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, clinch, Dempsey headlocks and hits a takeover. Chase keeps his shoulders up but Dempsey headscissors him. Dempsey holds tight as Chase moves around and headstands to the headscissors! Dempsey tries to kip free but Chase holds tight! Dempsey moves around, turns Chase over and bridges back tot hen roll and hook Chase up. BOW ‘N’ ARROW, but Chase pops out to a cover! ONE, and the two circle again. Dempsey lunges in but Chase brushes him off. Fans rally for Chase as he and Dempsey knuckle lock for a test of strength!
Dempsey powers Chase back, monkey flips him, then rolls back. Chase holds off the cover and monkey flips back! Chase and Dempsey are both down, TWO as they get an arm up. TWO as they get the other arm up! TWO as they both bridge! Fans fire up for this great exchange, and both men stand. Dempsey breaks, wrenches, trips and steps through but Chase boots him away! Things speed up, Chase hurdles and hip tosses! Fans fire up and Chase says this is a TEACHABLE MOMENT! Dempsey is pissed, but he rushes into a wrench. Chase hammerlocks, Dempsey wrenches, Chase wrenches back, and repeat.
Chase hammerlocks again but Dempsey elbows out. Chase ROCKS Dempsey! Dempsey ROCKS Chase! And EuroUppers! Chase falls but Dempsey dares him to get up. Fans fire up for Chase but Dempsey underhooks him. BUTTERFLY SUPLEX, with a bridge! TWO!! Dempsey clamps onto an arm but Chase clasp hands. Dempsey digs an elbow into the shoulder to get the chicken wings! CATTLE MUTILATION!! And Dempsey moves around with it!! Chase endures, Dempsey shifts to a Fujiwara but Chase gets up. Dempsey KNEES him down, then brings him up again. Chase deflects the uppercut to JAB! And JAB! And DISCUS!

Cover, TWO!! Dempsey has the arm and the FUJIWARA! Chase rolls but Dempsey has the KNEEBAR!! Chase flails, reaches, but Dempsey shifts to an STF!! Chase endures again and Bodhi is there coaching him! But then Dempsey gets Chase’s arm! Dempsey glares at Bodhi and BOOTS him away! Dempsey goes out to ROCK Bodhi and gut wrench suplex him to the floor!
Dempsey gets back in the ring, but Chase gets his leg to a cradle! CHASE WINS!!
Winner: Andre Chase, by pinfall
Chase wins and shocks Dempsey! Dempsey did learn something tonight: focus on your opponent and nothing else! Will Dempsey get payback on Chase U
Meiko Satomura arrives.
And Alba Fyre is there! She looks at Meiko and says the title looks good on her. Meiko says she did win it from a great champion. Then win again on Sunday. Meiko says she will. Will the Fire Starter and all of NXT UK be made proud by The Final Boss?
Tyler Bate now encounters GUNTHER!
The current WWE Intercontinental Champion was NXT UK Champion once, and he wants to remind Tyler that that title has a legacy. Gunther is the longest reigning NXT UK Champion in history, so at Worlds Collide, Tyler needs to bring the Tyler that fought him for 45 minutes in Cardiff. Tyler must beat Bron and unify the titles. European wrestling depends on it. Tyler nods, and the pressure keeps piling up!
Zoey Stark VS Kiana James!
Maybe the Iron Woman of NXT did push herself too hard with the NXT Women’s Championship match at Heatwave before even getting a shot at the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship tournament. But will Stark show Kiana that you don’t improve if you don’t push past your limits? Or will Kiana use her brain power to prove that Zoey’s value as she approaches her limit is zero?
NXT returns as Kiana makes her entrance. The bell rings and fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, then Kiana pushes Zoey away. Kiana taunts Zoey but Zoey pushes her back! Zoey eggs Kiana on, then dodges her to CLOBBER her! Kiana flounders and fans fire up as Zoey runs in. Zoey uppercuts, runs and slides, then comes back.

Fans rally as Kiana clamps on a top wristlock. Zoey fights up, throws body shots, but Kiana knees low. Kiana whips Zoey to a corner, runs in but Zoey dodges to roll her up, TWO! Zoey drags Kiana up but Kiana WRINGS the arm! Cover, TWO! Kiana is shrieking but she clamps back onto the top wristlock.
Fans rally as Zoey endures again. Zoey fights up, but Kiana wrangles her back down. Fans continue to rally, Zoey fights up and arm-drags free! Zoey ROCKS Kiana, CLOBBERS her, then CLOBBERS her again! Zoey ROCKS, ELBOWS, mule kicks and powers up, SLIDING KNEE! Cover, TWO! Zoey is annoyed but Kiana survives. Zoey drags Kiana up, fireman’s carries, but Kiana grabs ropes! Kiana slips off to ROCK Zoey, then throws her down by her hair! Kiana sets up, STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Kiana is beside herself, but she brings Zoey up. Zoey SUPERKICKS Kiana, and shouts, “MY ABILITY MY ASS!” GO TO STARK!! Cover, Stark wins!
Winner: Zoey Stark, by pinfall
Kiana didn’t calculate for the intangibles of aggression and determination, and she just got told! Kiana goes to use her tote bag but LYONS SPEARS Kiana! Kiana was talking some trash on Lyons, too, so she’s got two bad women united against her! Will Kiana have to go back to the drawing board for this business plan?
Backstage interview with Blair Davenport.
McKenzie says she has everything to gain and nothing to lose at Worlds Collide. She is the #1 contender and challenger in that Triple Threat, and she could walk out the UNIFIED NXT Women’s Champion. Blair says NXT UK and NXT were built off their Women’s Divisions. But of all the superstars and legends that have competed in that ring, no one has done what Blair will this Sunday and that is unify the two titles. The Davenport name will be exactly where it’s supposed to.
Wait! RHEA RIPLEY is here! And the Nightmare isn’t just any superstar. She’s the only one who has held both the NXT and NXT UK Women’s titles in her career. She’s a history maker! Hell, Rhea built both brands when she grabbed them by the balls and made them hers! And on Sunday, Blair has the opportunity to make history and carry on the legacy here. She looks confident. Don’t screw this up! Rhea just made sure the gothic heiress is also aware of her place in history. Will Blair use this “encouragement” to take it all for her own?
Nathan Frazer speaks with…?
“Seth Rollins comic book. Classic. Well, I am somewhat biased, but I am hyped for Worlds Collide. NXT UK VS NXT, it’s like I have no idea who to root for, because I’ve been on both brands. I guess you don’t have that problem.” It’s AXIOM! Yeah, guess not. Axiom didn’t get a chance to see what it’s like over in NXT UK. A real shame. Axiom looks at the camera. Well, maybe their worlds could collide in a friendly competition. Since he has no idea. Yeah, that’d be cool. And somehow, Frazer’s sure Axiom would’ve loved it there.
They do these matches called British Rounds Matches for the Heritage Cup. Frazer isn’t suggesting they do one of those, because there are rounds and that’s a UK thing that might confuse Axiom. Though, Axiom is really good with numbers so he could catch on pretty quick. Axiom stops Frazer there, and suggests they do a best of three as a compromise. Deal! Then they trade comic books. Will Frazer figure out a way to best Axiom? Or will he learn just how good Axiom really is?
Six Man Tag: Diamond Mine VS Gallus!
The Creed Brothers & Damon Kemp put Roderick Strong in his place, but now they look to do the same to the gang that jumped them weeks ago. Meanwhile, the Coffey Brothers & Wolfgang look to prove that no matter where in the world they are, NXT is still THEIR Kingdom! Who will be on top this close to Worlds Collide?
NXT returns and Diamond Mine makes their entrance. The trios sort out and Julius starts against Joe. The big brothers circle, tie up, and then break. They egg each other on, tie up again, and Julius waistlocks to SLAM Joe! Julius rolls Joe from the corner, but Joe fights up to get the ropebreak. Julius lets off but Joe throws elbows and body shots! Julius blocks one to HALF HATCH Joe away! Fans fire up and Brutus tags in. The Creeds feed Joe to a fireman’s carry takeover, then Brutus clamps onto an arm. Joe fights up but Brutus keeps him from Gallus. Joe throws body shots, but Brutus wrenches and whips.
Joe goes up and around to UPPERCUT Brutus! Tag to Mark and the Coffey Brothers double wrench, pop-up and CHOP! Mark clinches, whips, but Brutus holds ropes. Brutus knees low, CLUBS Mark down, then gut wrenches to carry Mark around for the suplex! Tag to Kemp, feed to the wiastlock but Mark switches. Kemp bucks the O’Conner Roll but Mark UPPERCUTS Kemp! Kemps taggers up, he scoops Mark and hits a FALL AWAY SLAM! Mark tags out to Wolfgang, and Kemp welcomes his UK drinking buddy to the USA! They circle, talk some trash, and fans fire up as they fire up! They tie up, Wolfgang wrenches, RAMS and CLUBS the shoulder, then wristlocks.
Kemp rolls, wrenches, spins and waistlocks to SLAM Wolfgang down! And then again! Wolfgang reaches out but Kemp keeps him from the Coffeys. Kemp RAMS Wolfgang into the corner, tags Brutus, and Brutus headlocks. Wolfgang throws body shots but Brutus ROCKS Wolfgang back. Brutus headlocks, Wolfgang powers out and they ram shoulders. Brutus runs, then flips through the hip toss?! Brutus then TACKLES Wolfgang and rains down fists! Julius and Kemp intercept the Coffey brothers, and now all of Diamond Mine SMASH! Fans fire up as Diamond Mine tosses Gallus aside, and NXT goes picture in picture!
Gallus is furious and Diamond Mine dares them to come back. The ref has everything calm down, and Gallus talks strategy. Wolfgang slides in, stares Brutus down, but he tags Mark. Mark runs into a fireman’s carry takeover! Brutus has the arm but Mark fights up. Brutus brings Mark around, tags Julius, and he feeds Mark to a fireman’s carry takeover. Julius clamps onto the arm and grinds Mark down, but Mark fights up. Julius tags Brutus back in, and Julius drop toeholds Mark to throw a knee! Brutus jams his knee in, then brings Mark around. Kemp tags in, he fireman’s carry takeovers, and he clamps onto the arm.
Mark fights his way up, but Kemp powers him back to the Diamond Mine corner. Brutus tags back in, RAMS into Mark, then wrenches the arm. Mark throws a forearm, whips Brutus but Brutus reverses, only for Mark to KICK him and ROCK him! Tag to Joe, the Coffey Brothers mug Brutus, and Joe DECKS Brutus with a left. Joe drags Brutus up, snapmares and facelocks to then cravat and neck wrench. Brutus endures, fights around, and NXT returns to single picture. Fans rally, Brutus throws body shots but Joe cranks the cravat. Joe throws knees, but Brutus back drops him away! Tag to Julius and he dodges Joe to then CHOP BLOCK!
Julius deadlift HALF HATCHES Joe! Fans fire up and Julius suplexes again. Joe cradle counters, TWO! Julius has a headstand, to then deadlift Joe again! Julius SLAMS Joe down! Julius gets a leg and has the ANKLE LOCK! Joe claws his way forward, ROPEBREAK! Joe has the apron skirt, Gallus drags Joe out to safety! Julius goes out the side, Mark ducks so Julius DECKS Wolfgang! Julius puts Joe in, then box jumps like he’s a little Brock Lesnar! But Mark trips him up with the apron skirt! Julius tumbles into the ring and Joe tags Mark in! Fans boo but Julius and Mark brawl! Mark gets around to HALF NELSON SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Mark KNEES Julius down, HIP DROPS him, then tags Joe. Joe KNEES Julius, stomps him, then keeps him from Diamond Mine. Joe KNEES and CLUBS Julius, then covers, TWO! Joe clamps onto the shoulders then gets the arms for a straitjacket! Fans rally and Julius fights up! Julius powers out of the hold and turns it around onto Joe! Joe RAMS Julius into the corner, Wolfgang tags in! Snapmare and BASEMENT SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Wolfgang facelocks and grinds Julius down. Fans rally again and Julius fights up, to power Wolfgang back! Wolfgang holds on tight, but Julius keeps trying!
Julius is close but Wolfgang ELBOWS Brutus away! Wolfgang whips Julius to the Gallus corner, but Julius elbows Wolfgang away! Julius also DECKS Joe, but Wolfgang runs in! Julius dodges the splash! Mark tags in and rushes after Julius, but Kemp tags in! Kemp rallies with big haymakers! Fans fire up as the Diamond Gopher fires off body shots! Kemp whips, CLOBBERS Mark, then hauls Mark up for an OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Joe gets in but Kemp ROCKS him! Kemp whips Mark to a corner, Mark bounces off buckles and into Kemp’s LARIAT! Fans are fired up with Kemp as he roars and storms around!
Kemp drags Mark up, scoops, but what is Roddy doing out here? Roddy insists they all have to listen to him! He has the truth! Kemp tells him to get his ass outta here! Security guard Hank steps in and Kemp slaps Roddy’s phone away. Kemp says that’s not needed! He STOMPS the phone! Roddy is furious, but Joe tags in! Kemp sees Mark and scoops, SPINEBUSTER! Wolfgang runs in, Kemp throws him out, and turns around into ALL THE BEST FOR THE BELLS! Cover, Gallus wins!!
Winners: Gallus, by pinfall
Roddy thinks he was helping, but he just COST his team! And now Pretty Deadly rushes out to beat up on the NXT Tag Team Champions! Gallus wants after Pretty Deadly, too, and security guards rush in to stop this! The three teams are separated, but here come the NXT UK Tag Team Champions!! Jensen is using his boot as a weapon! It’s a four team melee and fans want to “Let Them Fight!” Wait, the rest of the locker room is spilling out here to join in!
Backstage, Bron is loving what he’s seeing!
But then TOMMASO CIAMPA sits with him!! Don’t worry, Bron, this will be quick. Ciampa sure did a lot in his time in NXT. But nothing is more important than his time with “Goldie.” May he? Bron lets Ciampa hold the belt. “There is a certain responsibility that comes along with holding this title. A certain passion that she embodies. The NXT title and the NXT brand, they mean the world to me. Ciampa says this is Bron’s world now.” And at Worlds Collide, Bron has the chance to make history. The pressure, the anxiety, the fear of failure, Ciampa says that is all normal.
This Sunday, Worlds Collide, when that bell rings, embrace it! Represent this brand and the title! Add to your legacy! Add to OUR legacy! And more important than anything else, Bron: win. WIN. WIN!! Will the words of the Blackhearted be the most motivating of them all?
Melo & Trick interrupt commentary.
Vic, shut up! Y’all wanna talk about Worlds Collide but there’s a big problem with it: No Melo! But they’re going to address that, after the break. What will the North American Champion have to say on the doorstep of history?
Quincy Elliot speaks.
“Hi, I’m Quincy Elliot, and I have a confession to make. Growing up, everyone always thought they knew what I was, and everyone always thought they knew who I am. But they don’t know me at all. The WWE Universe is about to find out exactly who Quincy Elliot is. I mean, look at me. I’m flier than a reindeer in the winter, and I am coming to change the game. The old saying is life ain’t perfect. But y’all don’t live the life of Quincy, the Super Diva.” Will Quincy pick the perfect time to make his debut?
BREAKING NEWS for Worlds Collide!
After the brawls throughout the night, it will be a FATAL 4 WAY to UNIFY the NXT and NXT UK Tag Team Championships! The Diamond Mine VS Briggs & Jensen VS Gallus VS Pretty Deadly, only one team can be THE team in NXT!
Melo & Trick head to the ring.
The A Champion and his best bud get the mics and have the music cut. “Every week, Melo comes out here and puts on banger after banger after banger, and for some reason, he’s not on Worlds Collide?” Well there is no premium event without THE premium superstar, The A Champion! They usually laugh and tell jokes, but not tonight! Trick wants Melo to tell us what he told Trick in the back, and don’t sugarcoat a doggone thing! Tell it like it is! Melo is still trying to figure out how they’re keeping the best champion off the show! The disrespect!! Melo has broken the Rebel Heart, this ain’t a Dream, you can’t Swerve him, and he is No Limits Melo!
Melo doesn’t sweat unifying championships, cuz he’s been there and done that! Talk your talk! Melo IS the greatest North American Champion of all time! They try to tell him this was secondary and he told them he ain’t ever been second to nobody! So he’ll take the ball, put it in his court, and he will NOT be taking his talents to Worlds Collide! He will NOT be defending his title! Because there ain’t no one on his level anyway! Or the level below him! And why’s that? Because that is all it is, and that is all it’s gonna be! Wait, the lights go down! And it’s RICOCHET!! The One and Only name Melo forgot to drop has come back to NXT!
Fans are fired up but Ricochet has them calm down as he gets in the ring. Ricochet also has a mic but Melo says he might not know how to use that. Don’t hurt yourself, Rick. Fans chant “Welcome Back!” and Ricochet says he appreciates that. It feels great to be back, and please, for the sake of everyone here in the crowd, for everyone watching at home, and even those who, for whatever reason, still follow Melo on social media, please SHUT THE HELL UP FOR FIVE SECONDS!! Melo is fired up as fans chant “Shut The Hell Up!” But Ricochet says ya boi is here on official business. He is here, because he doesn’t see why Worlds Collide has to be just NXT VS NXT UK.
Ricochet says to put some SmackDown on it! Get some blue brand in here! Melo is doing great things, but when it comes to this ring and its four corners, Melo can’t do what Ricochet does. Melo says no no no. Ricochet could’ve stopped at “You’re doing great.” See, Ricochet may say he’s the One and Only- Which he is. No, Melo is. No, Ricochet is. No, Melo is! Ricochet says he is just one of many! One of many that step up to get stepped on! Since they’re so similar, then let’s see what’s good, because there ain’t room enough for the both of them. Ricochet says actually, congrats, Melo is right. He has had multiple defenses, so congratulations. Amazing, honestly.
But it isn’t amazing that Melo has had multiple defenses. No, it’s amazing that no one remembers any of them! Trick throws off his shirt, he’s that mad! Melo asks, “That’s all you got?” Ricochet tells Trick to hold on. Ricochet is a very giving man, so he came back to give the fans something they can remember. A Melo match they remember! Melo says the fans don’t want none from Ricochet! Ricochet says he held the North American title, and at a Worlds Collide, he plans on holding it again! Ricochet will become a TWO-TIME North American Champion! Melo drops the mic but Trick keeps him back. Trick swings on Ricochet!
Ricochet dodges, and HEEL KICKS Trick down! Melo is shocked, he springboards, into a RECOIL!! Melo writhes and Ricochet picks up the belt! Ricochet holds up the title, will we see this all over again at Worlds Collide?
My Thoughts:
An awesome go-home for Worlds Collide, with a lot of last minute set-ups for the titles that weren’t already on the card. For one, what a great closing segment with Melo, Trick and Ricochet. Great promo for Melo to shout out former North American Champions, and after a lot of great returns from NXT alumni, Ricochet making a return to set up a match was great stuff. I don’t see Ricochet winning the title, but he and Melo are going to have a wild match that could steal the show. And speaking of those alumni, great promos from Finn, Shayna, Rhea, Gunther and Ciampa (Alba/KLR is still in NXT but she also had a good promo) to the various champions and challengers going into Worlds Collide. I really want Tyler to beat Bron, and as long as Mandy loses, I’m good with that.
A great match from KC Squared VS Ivy & Tatum, but I should’ve expected Gigi & Jacy to ruin things for Diamond Mine so they can be next in line. And also a great surprise that Piper & Nikki are the ones to challenge Kayden & Katana. Much like Ricochet, I don’t expect Piper & Nikki to win while they’re part of Raw, but they’ll give KC Squared a great match. And I was laughing really hard at the promo from Frazer and “Axiom.” For one, Axiom was wearing the goldenrod colored turtleneck A-Kid is known for wearing. Two, Frazer is of course sticking to kayfabe in not knowing Axiom IS A-Kid, the inaugural Heritage Cup Champion. But their Best 2 out of 3 Falls is going to be awesome stuff, can’t wait to see who wins, and I hope the winner gets to challenge Noam Dar, who is still signed to WWE and is still Heritage Cup Champion.
Great opener out of Apollo and Waller, and Waller winning with the dirty tactics does extend the feud past this. Not sure if there really is a connection between going after Apollo’s eyes and how he’s got future sight, but commentary did make note of it so maybe that’s where Apollo’s story goes from here. We also got a fairly good promo from The Schism and Grimes. I laughed at how cheap of a reward some old smiley face buttons were for Gibson & Drake- er, Rip & Jagger, but I suppose it was cheesy enough to fit them. And I figured Grimes would refuse Gacy. Maybe we get Grimes 1v1 with Gacy later on, with Grimes’ fate on the line, and that could go either way.
Good vignette from Roxanne to show she’s officially cutting Cora off from her social (media) life, and to hype up a coming rematch. If anything, that should be No Disqualifications so that kendo sticks won’t be controversial anymore. Then between the winner of that and Wendy Choo, who won her Lights Out match with Tiffany, we’ll get the first challenger of the Unified NXT Women’s Champion. Good promo from Kiana James, and good match from her and Zoey Stark. I figured Stark would win to get momentum back after the losses, and I like that Lyons backed Zoey up against Kiana. Maybe Kiana finds a teammate to face them both and help actually establish Lyons & Stark as a team.
Good promo from JD McDonagh to respond to Wes Lee. While I’m still not that sure about this sociopathic take on Jordan Devlin, he’s committed to it and delivering it all well. JD VS Lee will be very good, but I’d expect JD to win. Good promo from Quincy Elliot, he’ll have a strong TV debut match. I loved what we got out of Chase VS Dempsey. That was a great match with a lot of technical skills showcased, and great story of Dempsey losing his cool on Bodhi and losing to Chase. Dempsey will definitely want payback on Chase U, and he will surely get his first NXT win off Bodhi before giving it another go against Chase.
And of course, a lot of great stuff out of the various 3v3 tag matches and the tag title story. Great Mixed Six that Gallus tried to ruin, and of course Pretty Deadly wins because of that. Then on the flipside, good stuff out of Diamond Mine, both in their promos and in that Six Man Tag “main event.” Strong seems to think he has proof but who knows, but of course it costs Diamond Mine against Gallus. The UK teams have the momentum, even with the giant brawls being rather even, so I expect the Creeds to be the ones to unify the NXT & NXT UK Tag Team Championships. Then maybe Strong gets a new ally and that duo go after the unified titles.
My Score: 8.8/10

As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax!

Toni grabs a mic to shout, “Let the games begin~!” Toni revels in the streamers while Mone pulls at her hair in frustration! Will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one belt Mone doesn’t take?
10 Man Tag: The Death Riders, The Young Bucks & The Beast Mortos VS Swerve Strickland, Will Ospreay & The Opps!
Well, one more “Card Subject to Change.” As if it isn’t already weird that Jon Moxley is willing to work with Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, Our EVPs somehow managed to recruit LFI’s monstrous minotaur to their side! Will having such a behemoth on their side help The Maniac, The Decoder & The Founding Fathers survive the night? Or will The Realest, The Aerial Assassin & the AEW World Trios Champions give us some anarchy in Arena Mexico?
The teams sort out and despite the black eye and bandaged forehead, Ospreay insists he start. His team obliges and the fans cheer him on as he starts against Matt, one of the men responsible for that. The bell rings, and Matt quickly tags out to Mortos. Ospreay and Mortos circle, and Mortos SMACKS Ospreay down! Mortos whips, Ospreay reverses, but Mrotos rolls off Ospreay’s back! Mortos shoves Ospreay to a corner, ELBOWS and LARIATS then GAMANGIRIS! Mortos snapmares and SAMOAN DROPS! Ospreay grits his teeth while Mortos roars. The fans still sing for Ospreay but Mortos runs in at the corner.

Mortos runs, Ospreay dodges, and Ospreay comes back, POP-UPÂ RANA! The fans fire up as Mortos bails out. Ospreay builds speed, but Nick GAMANGIRIS! The fans boo but Nick orders Mortos to tag out. Mortos tags Matt, Matt fires hands and then CATAPULTS Ospreay into Nick’s GAMANGIRI! Then Nick goes up, DOUBLE STOMP BACKBREAKER COMBO! The Bucks taunt Swerve, he runs in to get a GUT BUSTER to the NECKBREAKER BACKBREAKER COMBO!
The fans boo but The Buck soak it up while doing their classic pose. Matt tags Nick in and they drag Ospreay up. They double whip but Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges, and he turns the double hip toss into a DOUBLE ARM-DRAG! Atomic drop and CHOP for Matt, atomic drop and CHOP for Nick! Then CHOP after CHOP for the Bucks! Nick CLAWS the bad eye! The ref reprimands but Matt gives Nick the boost into the RANA! The Bucks soak up more heat and then Nick tags Yuta. Yuta gets even more boos, but then Ospreay BACKDROPS him! Tag to Swerve and the fans fire up! Swerve & Ospreay whip Yuta to the corner!
The fans chant for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOSUE! Ospreay ELBOWS Yuta, Swerve UPPERCUTS, then snapmare for Ospreay’s STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Ospreay sits Yuta up while Swerve climbs, FALLING UPPERCUT! And Swerve hits the Griddy! The fans cheer, Swerve brings Yuta up, but Yuta THROWS Swerve by his hair!

The fans fire up as Yuta falls and Moxley is frustrated. Joe covers, TWO! Yuta stays in this for his team, then he JAWBREAKERS Joe away! Yuta hot tags Moxley!

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