Winner: Blair Davenport, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the NXT UK Women’s Championship)

The Wicked Witch’s magic failed her, The French Hope had no hope, and #LizzyEvo could not adapt and evolve! It is the heiress who claims the golden ticket! But will she be able to cash that ticket in and become the great champion she feels she should be?

 

Saxon Huxley VS Kenny Williams!

The Divine Beast of the Astral Plane cannot be tamed, though many have tried. And the same can be said for those who tried and failed to crush #KennyCockroach. Will Huxley be the one that finally squishes this bug? Or will the Scum of the Earth always find a way to survive?

The bell rings and fans chant, “Squash the Cockroach!” Kenny frowns and ties up with Huxley, and Huxley throws him away! Kenny is annoyed already and he circles with Huxley again.

Fans still rally but Kenny puts the leg on the ropes! Kenny pulls, lets off at 4, then hos up the corner to stomp away on Huxley’s back!

The ref counts and fans boo, but Kenny lets off. Kenny then dropkicks the rope to jam the leg! Cover, TWO! Huxley clutches his leg but Kenny BOOTS him down! Kenny kicks away on the leg, then has a standing toehold! But here comes CHASE U! Andre Chase, Bodhi Hayward & Thea Hail cheer their prospect on, and Kenny shouts at them he’s about to flunk Huxley. But Huxley throws body shots! Fans rally for Chase U as Huxley throws more shots. Kenny knees low, headlocks, but Huxley hits a BIG atomic drop! Chase U cheers Huxley on and he fires up! Huxley rallies with big ax handles! Huxley then whips Kenny hard into the corner!

Huxley keeps moving and he BOOTS Kenny down! Fans fire up and Huxley runs the ropes, builds up lots of speed, and he LARIATS Kenny down! Then he drops the ELBOW! Cover, TWO!! Kenny survives, but Huxley dribbles him off the mat! Huxley whips Kenny, runs, but Kenny dodges the crossbody! Huxley crashes and burns, then Kenny talks trash on Chase U. Kenny turns around, Huxley BLASTS Kenny off the apron! Chase & Bodhi catch Kenny, and then drop him on his butt! Thea shouts in Kenny’s face, “YOU SUCK!” and then Huxley drags Kenny back into the ring! Huxley has both hands for the TWO HAND SLAM! Cover, Huxley wins!

Winner: Saxon Huxley, by pinfall

Huxley passes the test with flying colors! He gets to chest bump Bodhi, and he gets to shake Chase’s hand! Now that was a TEACHABLE MOMENT!

 

NXT UK hears from tonight’s main eventers.

Tyler Bate sits and thinks. “Y’know, it almost feels like fate. Life has a funny way of bringing things full circle. You think you know someone, and then this. Just like that.” Trent Seven wants to talk about it. “Let’s rewind about 11, 12 years. There was this training school in Birmingham, and there were a couple of kids there, and one of those kids there was called Tyler Bate.” Seven thought to himself, “Man, if that kid just had a little bit of guidance, then the sky’s gonna be the limits for this kid.” On Bate’s journey, Seven gave him a home in the UK wrestling scene. The goal was to get Bate the best training he could. And Seven’s belief in Bate made Bate believe anything was possible.

The WWE/NXT UK Championship Tournament happened, they shared that moment and it made it all the sweeter. Seven was for all the good times, like when they won the NXT Tag Team Championships together, or when Tyler won the NXT UK Heritage Cup Championship. There were good times, and it just looked like Seven was “just there.” They also won the NXT UK Tag Team Championships, making Tyler Bate the first ever UK Triple Crown Winner. Bate wouldn’t be the man he is today without Seven, and that is why Seven made the changes he felt he needed to make. And then, Seven said he never needed Bate, and literally slapped him in the face.

Seven broke Bate’s heart. But here we are. The two biggest names of the brand fighting it out. Isn’t it strange how Seven’s moment, how his zenith, comes at Bate’s expense? But it’s up to Bate to become a TWO-TIME NXT UK Champion! But Seven says we will finally see the demise of the Big Strong Boy and the rise of the Savior of British Sports!

Vacated NXT UK Championship Tournament Finals: Trent Seven VS Tyler Bate!

It all comes down to this! Johnny Saint & Sid Scala stand in the ring with the UK Championship sitting upon the pedestal. Tyler Bate makes his entrance, then Trent Seven makes his.

Seven and Bate stare down as the fans fire up. They circle, tie up, and Bate powers Seven back! Seven digs his heels in, pushes back, and they go around. Bate headlocks and hits a takeover, but Seven headscissors. Bate kips free and the two stand off. They go again, Seven headlocks for the takeover but Bate headscissors. Seven tries but can’t kip free as Bate holds tight! Fans rally behind Bate, but Seven moves around and gets the ROPEBREAK. Bate lets off cleanly but he watches Seven closely. They reset and tie up again. They go around and Seven wrangles Bate down to a cording hold. Bate endures and fights up.

Seven wrenches, wristlocks, but Bate rolls and rolls, then breaks free to wristlock back. Bate WRINGS Seven out but Seven rolls through! Fans applaud the technical exchange. The two tie up again, Seven gets the arm and wrenches to wristlock again. Bate moves around, Seven still has the wristlock, but Bate rolls and handsprings to DROPKICK Seven down!

Bate is free and he fires haymakers! Bate headlocks, but Seven hits a SHIN BREAKER!

Bate writhes, Seven gets the leg to punch it! And uppercut it! Seven avoids Bate’s retaliation to then CHOP him on the back! Seven stands Bate up to CHOP him down! Seven has a wristlock and he drags Bate up again, but Bate headlocks! Seven lifts but Bate turns shin breaker into sunset flip! Cover, TWO, and Seven swings! Bate blocks to UPPERCUT! And uppercut again! And again! Seven shoves, fakes Bate out and DDTs! Fans boo but Seven covers, TWO! Fans change “Trent Seven Army” into “Tyler Bate Army” but Seven YANKS the bad leg! Seven kicks the leg, stomps Bate, then drags him up again.

Fans rally for Bate but Seven gives toying kicks. Bate grimaces while Seven copies Pete Dunne’s pose. Bate eggs Seven on so Seven gives him harder kicks! Bate keeps egging him on, Seven keeps kicking! Bate fires up and reels Seven in for an EXPLODER! Fans fire up while both men are down! They chant “BIG STRONG BOY!

Winner: Tyler Bate, by pinfall (NEW NXT UK Champion)

The first-ever, the last-ever, and the ONLY TWO-TIME NXT UK Champion!! A five year journey culminates in an epic finale! Seven is not the savior he thought he was, what does the future hold for him? And as for Bate, we’re about to see worlds collide, will he be the one standing on top of the world when the dust settles?

 

“Every empire has a beginning.”

Those were Triple H’s words over five years ago, in January of 2017, that kicked off the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament in Blackpool. And from there, it was history making moment after history making moment! Bate won the title as a 19 year old boy, and he said the people who really deserve this are the people in the UK. He and the “Founding Fathers” of this brand, as well as some Founding Mothers, bided their time, and soon, a brand was forged! It was wild, destructive, exciting, amazing, and it grew, and grew, and grew.

Great champions like South Wales Subculture, Grizzled Young Veterans, Rhea Ripley, Pete Dunne, Gunther, Ilja Dragunov, Pretty Deadly, Kay Lee Ray, Meiko Satomura, Ashton Smith & Oliver Carter, A-Kid, Noam Dar, Mark Coffey, Gallus, and of course now, Tyler Bate. To everyone that made this brand possible, from the superstars to the staff, to of course the fans, NXT UK thanks you.


My Thoughts:

This was a great episode for NXT UK, and about as great of a final episode as you could get with it all changing so suddenly. And while we got spoilers from NXT 2.0 because they really rushed things (probably just so Worlds Collide coincides with Clash at the Castle, and counter programs AEW All Out), the big matches were still awesome. They squeezed in Huxley VS Williams to continue the story with Chase U, or rather wrap it up since Huxley was among the 20-some-odd superstars released in the wake of closing NXT UK and announcing NXT Europe. And for that matter, Kenny’s story with Tiger Turan/Amir Jordan does not get to finish, unless those guys come back for NXT Europe.

Great Fatal 4 Way Elimination match to open things, and while we knew about Blair being the winner because she’s in the title unification Triple Threat, it was quite the surprise that it didn’t come down to Blair and Amale. Eliza is opportunistic enough to take that from Amale, but Blair wins in the end to follow through with her story to go after Meiko. Still a shame we didn’t get Meiko VS Sarray, that would’ve been awesome, but hopefully Blair being in the mix means Mandy Rose doesn’t win to power up that already strong ego. Worlds Collide is to be a fresh start for the NXT franchise at large, so this is as good a time to end Mandy’s reign as any.

Great vignette to precede the main event, it recapped and highlighted the Moustache Mountain story perfectly. And of course, we got an amazing main event out of Seven and Bate. Great references back to Dunne, great use of false finishes and stolen finishers, and in the end, even if the spoilers didn’t happen, it all makes sense Bate wins. The historic factoid of Bate being the inaugural, then the final, and also becoming the first-and-only two-time champion was too much to pass up. We also got a great closing highlight reel there, which is also available on its own on YouTube, I really loved that. As I’ve said for NXT, I just hope Bate is the one who wins at Worlds Collide. To me, it’d be the best way to honor NXT UK in the end.

My Score: 8.6/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 7.25.2024

Slammiversary Fallout! Where do things go on the way to Victory Road?

Published

on

Well now we start the fall out of Slammiversary. Josh Alexander in his bad bitch summer, X-Speedball legacy, ABC got the t-a-g and Jordynne is still in charge of the Knockouts division. Like I said at the end of Slammiversary, all of the champions being Babyfaces is stupid. They need to drop a couple titles fairly quickly, because I don’t care what some people say, Nic Nemeth ain’t gonna bring any eyes to the brand. He’s about as hot as day old Hamburger Helper over a camping sterno.

We’ll probably open with the luke warm champion, so tune in like 10 minutes late for anything of substance to be happen.

https://x.com/i/status/1816629254349533588

Ratings:

  • Steve Maclin vs Cody Deaner: Maclin wins via KIA – *
  • AJ Francis w/Rich Swann & Josh Bishop vs Sami Callihan: AJ wins via Down Payment – **
  • Hammer Your ASH (ASH by Elegance & Alexander Hammerstone) vs JuggerYoung (Jordynne Grace & Eric Young): Hammer Your ASH wins via Torture Rack – ** 1/2
  • The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers & JDC) w/Alisha Edwards vs Matt Hardy & The ABC (Ace Austin & Chris Bey): Broken Alphabet wins via Twist & Splash – ***

 

Results:

Nemeth gives the ole “I’ll be a fighting champion…blah blah” promo and drops the “any company” line that we’ve already understood what that means. Campaign Singh cuts him off…and I never thought I’d be happy for Campaign Singh to walk out and say anything…ever. And…Mustafa’s promo is worse than Dolph’s. He’s gone from parody to caricature even saying “it was the biggest screw job Montreal ever saw”. Like some of these lines are cheap heat, but most are just brain dead comments that wouldn’t get a reaction out of anyone (and the crowd was silent for that comment). Mustafa gets caught in an Archer “phrasing” moment about getting screwed hard, but this is painful. Promos written by 14 year olds everyone…

This ends with Ali challenging Nemeth for the World Title. While I’m not against walk up challenges, I watch Japanese wrestling, I don’t really get the point aside from doing it just to do it. 

ABC and Matt Hardy have a small promo, and I’m still not really a fan of Unbroken Matt Version 6.0. The floating between Broken voice and his normal voice sounds amateurish.

OH LOOK, finally a match 20 minutes into the show. And it’s my son Steve Maclin! OH CHRIST he’s facing Deaner. This has been 25 minutes of talking followed by the worst god damn attempt at a gimmick. Deaner’s little “Papa Santino told me I can wipe my ass only if the crowd agrees”. This gimmick should die in a fire.

Steve Maclin vs Cody Deaner

Deaner started off quick because Maclin was in disbelief that Deaner was actually gonna fight him. Maclin dodges a Crossbody, Busaiku Knee, and just starts beating on Deaner for fun. And this is fun, maybe Maclin can make sure Deaner gets stretchered out and written off forever. How do you call for an ambulance in French? Maclin with the old Back Breaker into a stretch. Deaner tries to nerd rage up, breaks the Back Breaker Stretch, his punch combo, into a Manhattan Drop and Bulldog. Deaner hits the Crossbody, but Maclin kicks out. This is entirely too competitive.

Deaner goes for the Deaner DDT, blocked, Olympic Slam into Splashing Deaner into the corner, Caught in the Crosshairs, K-I-A, thanks for coming you damn dweeb. Stay in Canada and don’t travel Deaner, please.

AJ Francis w/Rich Swann & Josh Bishop vs Sami Callihan

As the bell sounds, Sami knocks Rich off the apron, Low Bridges AJ, does the Beats of the Bodhran on AJ and then AJ eats the offense and strategizes with his crew. Bishop and Rich swarm the ring, Sami allows himself to get distracted so AJ slides in and starts beating on Sami. AJ throats Sami across the middle rope and Rich makes his presence felt, AJ distracts the referee and Rich gets in a lot of cheap shots. Bishop throws Sami back in the ring, and AJ keeps up the pressure. Lots of 5 count chokes and leverage moves. After the commercial break ends, Sami dodges a Tennessee Whiskey Knee, gets in a few shots before Rich trips Sami as he’s setting up a Dive, and then AJ takes advantage of the position and hits the goofball knee strike.

AJ calls for his Chokeslam, Sami tries to break it with Axe Handles, then claws the eyes. Sami goes for a Scoop Slam, gets him part way up and then falls over. AJ Chokeslam again, but he bites his hand and starts fighting back. Launches himself at AJ, sends him bouncing off the ropes and uses the momentum to hit that Scoop Slam that was teased earlier. Sami goes for a Western Lariat but eats a Big Boot. AJ does a little Hulk Hogan pose to signal a Leg Drop, but Sami dodges and then connects on a Sliding Lariat. Thumbs Up, Thumbs….interference. Rich distracts the ref, Bishop lays out Sami, AJ connects with the Down Payment.

Hammer Your ASH (ASH by Elegance & Alexander Hammerstone) vs JuggerYoung (Jordynne Grace & Eric Young)

ASH and Jordynne exchange slaps and then Jordynne starts to out muscle ASH. Spinebuster from Jordynne, Juggernaut Driver attempt, but ASH fights off, rope run, Sattelite DDT into both tagging out. EY does the Flair corner flop, slides back in between Hammer’s legs, and connects on a Neckbreaker. EY is the quicker of the two, but Hammer finally gets his hands on him and a Release Belly to Belly into a full mount raining of fists, then a near fall. Hammer smashes EY in a corner, Arm Wringer into an Irish Whip across, but EY moves and Hammer tags out to ASH. ASH levels Jordynne, peppers EY with a few shots and pulls him back to their corner and starts some tandem offense with Hammerman. Hammer Guerilla Presses ASH and throws her into EY for a near fall. Hammer looks to aim for either a Powerbomb or Nightmare Pendulum, but EY drops it into a Small Package, pinfall kick out, they both run, Double Lariat spot. The Knockouts get tagged in.

Jordynne is in control early, World’s Strongest Slam into a Vader Bomb. Juggernaut Driver attempt, but ASH fights it off and tags out to Hammer. Jordynne and EY do some schoolyard stuff with the old Push while Jordynne is down to trip Hammer. All four get in, ASH gets leveled, EY gets leveled, Hammer and Jordynne have a brief face off, but Hammer throws Jordynne to the apron and ASH connects with a Meteora from the apron. Death Valley Driver from Young on Hammer, ASH stares in shock, EY tells her to get, ASH runs away. EY goes up for his Macho Elbow, and ASH causes him to fall to Hammer’s feet, Torture Rack, and EY submits.

Josh Alexander comes out, with new heel music. And it’s not that bad, definitely better than some other people’s new music. Josh yells at the crowd a bit, says he can’t wait til he’s back in a real Canadian town, like his home of Toronto. Then he drops the mic in lieu of an explanation. The crowd chants him off with the “Nah Nah Nah Nah, Hey Hey Hey”.

The System (Eddie Edwards, Brian Myers & JDC) w/Alisha Edwards vs Matt Hardy & The ABC (Ace Austin & Chris Bey)

JDC and Hardy start, but JDC quickly tags out to Myers and that doesn’t go well. Hardy grabs a hold of Myers, a few Delete chops, drags him to his corner and they all get in a few shots punctuated with Hardy getting tagged back in and an Elbow into Myers’ extended and worked on left arm. Myers stays isolated, back into the corner, Boot to the gut, Ace tags in and wallops Myers. Ace connects on Double Kicks, into Russian Leg Sweep and his half of Click Click Boom, for a 2 count. Myers finally gets free with a Jaw Breaker and tags out to Eddie. But The System gets no momentum, Ace stifles Eddie’s offense and starts a few quick tags with him and Bey for tandem offense. Moose finally comes down the ramp as Eddie kicked out of yet another pinfall attempt because The System has had nothing going for them. Eddie finally gets some offense since Moose was a big enough distraction.

Eddie thinks they have a spot, so he tags back in JDC, but The ABC stop him cold, tag in Matt Hardy, and Matt walks down JDC, but JDC Low Bridges. Matt is on the outside, so all of The System surrounds Hardy, then Joe Hendry’s music hits! That stops the heel beatdown, and we follow Hendry’s entire entrance. So that proves Hendry is bigger than the 8 other people in this frame. Not really sure if that’s optics you want to push along. Ace and JDC try to remind people there’s wrestling going on, but JDC thumbs the eye to get a little something going. Vertical Suplex for a near fall, tag out for Eddie and Eddie lights up Ace with some of those NOAH Chops. Ace retreats to the ropes and Alisha chokes him with the ropes while the ref is distracted.

Myers gets tagged in, Ace tries to use the crowd energy, Myers stops it at first but then Ace slips a Scoop Slam and tags out to Bey. Hot tag, strike rush, Double Stomp, educated feet, Leap Frog to the corner but Lish climbs on the apron and yells at Bey which stops his rhythm. Myers kicks his feet out and causes Bey to crash. Eddie tags in for a few shots, then to JDC and Slingshot Knees, Wringer Snapmare, Bow and Arrow Submission, and JDC is just doing solid wrestling work right now. Uppercut between the Shoulder Blades as Bey tries to get out, tag to Myers and Bey is still eating offense. Eddie tags in, Bey tries the Sunset Flip, but Eddie tags out before going over, so Myers folds up Bey for a near fall and then tags out to JDC who connects on a Standing Suplex, slams Bey’s face into the corner, Eddie tags in, and Bey finally fights up to his feet, Eddie just flatten Bey’s comeback, tries a Tiger Driver but eats an Enzuigiri for a simultaneous tag. JDC and Hardy come in, JDC tries to exit halfway in, but Hardy is wrecking shop. He disposes of Eddie, Myers slides in but eats a tandem Neckbreaker/DDT from Hardy. Face team does the Delete Corner Face Smashes. Poetry in Motion into a Side Effect into Corkscrew Swanton for only 2 since Myers breaks it up! Everyone throwing hands, referee is distracted, Moose comes in to Spear Hardy, but Hardy dodges and throws him into JDC (I get the call back), Hendry then lays out Moose with the big Lariat. Twist of Fate from Hardy, Splash from Bey, Broken Alphabet wins!

 

Overall Score: 4/10

Ugh, cliche promos, too damn much talking, a competitive squash match with an imbecile as our first “match”, into an overbooked and slow heel match, finally a decent tag match (with the right team going over), into another overbooked match with a “tease” for the mystery backup being more obvious than Jericho’s WWF debut.

Aside from the afore mentioned tag match, The Rascalz promo and The System Promo; this was hard to watch. A lot of cornball promos, Rosemary licks her conspiracy board, storylines got zero traction. Whoopity Doo, Ryan Nemeth got a match next week and we get an undead wedding.

While this was a bad episode, it was bad by at least new standards. We’re not back in the TNA Dark Days again, but this was…a useless show.
