Wait, speaking of that Triple Threat, The Irish Ace surprises us all by coming out to join Vic Joseph and Booker T on commentary. JD says it’s a deck: JD’s the Ace, Booker’s a King, and Vic’s a joker. Anyway, the bell rings and Javi smirks as he says he’s a future champion, He swings, but into Bron’s waistlock and SLAM! And then another SLAM! And another SLAM! Javi scrambles away to a corner and fans bark for Bron. Bron dares Javi to do something, and Javi comes out to circle with him.

Alba Fyre speaks.
“Toxic Attraction, I was serious when I said I was more of a visual woman. That’s why I took Mandy Rose on our little joyride. And when it was over, I had a woman’s title match at Halloween Havoc. In less than two weeks, I scorch the empire that Mandy and her little friends built. I know Gigi & Jacy seek revenge, but as a fire keeper, I never back down. Because where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” The heat is rising, will Fyre burn Jacy before lighting it up with Mandy Rose at Halloween Havoc?

But best of all, both men still respect each other and shake hands. “That was Awesome!” but how much more amazing will Frazer make the ladder match now that he’s in it?
McKenzie Mitchell catches up with Dragunov.
Before he leaves for the night, she wants to ask if that headbutt was intended for Bron. Dragunov says there are three rules on the battlefield. Love, war and- Challenges! Grayson Waller knew Dragunov was a fan! Say it like you mean it! But no one cares about feelings. Dragunov was looking for an edge going into his match at Halloween Havoc, but Waller doesn’t need one! Waller’s taking on Apollo Crews and- Why is Waller wearing his grandma’s sunglasses?! Waller says first off, these aren’t! Second, Crews tried to blind Waller and his eyes are still sensitive. Why’s Dragunov changing the subject? Why’s Dragunov leaving so soon for someone who did something by “accident?”
Oh, so Waller wants Dragunov to stay? Uh, no- Then Dragunov will stay! Great idea! See you later, Waller. No, he didn’t mean it like that! McKenzie, this is YOUR fault! Will the 21st Century Success Story have more than just sensitive eyes after facing The Czar?
Valentina Feroz speaks with Sanga backstage.
She is nervous about tonight and her return to singles action. Can Sanga be in her corner tonight? Sanga say she will! Alright! And then in walks Indi Hartwell. Sanga’s gonna be in Feroz’s corner? Well, this may be Feroz’s jungle, but that is still Indi’s ring. See you out there. #IndiWrestling is confident while Feroz has butterflies, but will Sanga’s presence help Feroz overcome her fears?
Apollo Crews speaks.
“Your view of the world is shaped by how you allow yourself to experience it. You create a point of view and see everyone and everything through this lens. Most people live their entire lives with a force perspective, only able to see things in an uncomplicated way. But changing one detail can greatly alter how you visualize everything around you, and now you see things you never saw coming. Turning that lens on yourself can turn it into something you’re not going to like. I waited two long months for the day to come. And Halloween Havoc, let’s see what happens.” Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal, all the possibilities, and Chucky?
Apollo tells Waller, “I’m gonna force my perspective onto you on my way to my ultimate goal. At Halloween Havoc, I leave you in the dark.” Is Apollo going to let fate decide what happens between him and Waller?
Valentina Feroz w/ Sanga VS Indi Hartwell!
Yulisa Leon is out with injury but she wants her tag partner to shine on her own. Feroz is still rough around the edges, but will she be a diamond in the rough? Or will #IndiWrestling finally have that impressive win she needs to get up in the women’s division?
The bell rings, the two tie up, and Indi powers Feroz to ropes. The ref counts, Indi lets off to then shove Feroz out! Feroz rushes back in but into a knee!

Speaking of tag partners, Sanga and Veer were more or less reunited last week. Sanga walks over to Veer and Veer whispers something to him. Veer then turns to leave, and Sanga goes with him? What about his promise to Feroz? Feroz fights up with the fans rallying for her, and she throws body shots.
Indi knees low, then gut wrenches Ferzo to a Canadian Rack! Indi thrsahes Feroz around, but Feroz fights free! Fans rally, Feroz elbows her away! Feroz goes up, and hits a FLYING ARMBAR! Indi resists, turns and powers up to deadlift Feroz! ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP! Feroz writhes and Indi drags her around. But Feroz throws Indi down into an ARMBAR! Indi fights and crawls to the ROPEBREAK! Feroz lets off at 4, then runs in to KNEE Indi down! Cover, TWO! Indi hangs tough and both she and Feroz grab at each other. Feroz JAWBREAKKERS, but now she realizes Sanga is gone!
Feroz still THROWS Indi, and runs to METEORA! Then SHOTGUN! Cover, TWO! Feroz grits her teeth, runs in but is put on the apron. Indi DECKS Feroz, then climbs up to drag Feroz up. Indi deadlift SUPERPLEXES Feroz in! Cover, Indi wins!
Winner: Indi Hartwell, by pinfall
That was impressive! But then Pretty Deadly shows up in the perch? They’re not wearing shirts, but Kit Wilson has a beer drinking hat and Elton Prince has a big foam cowboy hat. Are they tailgating up there? Kit congratulates Indi on her win. “Or as Americans say, ‘Go sports!'” Elton says Indi is very “I-I-I-Impressive.” But Pretty Deadly are “F-F-F-Fantastic.” Fans boo the NXT Tag Team Championships but they tell the party people that they just wanna sit back and relax while watching three teams “beat the crap out of each other, all for the privilege to take on Pretty Deadly for these tag team championships.” Who do they think will win?
Elton wants to see “Scooby Doo and the dandy” win. But they definitely don’t like The Dyad. Briggs & Jensen, ROLL TIDE~! Edris & Malik? *Airhorn noises* Well either way, they’ll have a swig o’ beer! The sausages are on the grill, warming up for the two tastiest snacks in NXT. Tuck in, cowboy, it’s time to see these teams annihilate each other. #YESBOY! 2, 4, 6, 8, who’s the team they think is great? Prettyyyyy~ DEADLY~! Goooooooo PD~!
Backstage interview with Cora Jade.
McKenzie asks her about next week’s Pick Your Poison between her and former friend, Roxanne Perez. Has Cora decided on who she’s sending after Roxie? She has the WHOLE WWE to pick from! She’s contacted some people, but the hard part is narrowing it down. Must be hard for Roxie to find someone since no one ever really liked her. Cora can’t imagine what it must feel like to be ghosted by everyone on Raw and SmackDown. Yikes. Actually, McKenzie heard Roxie’s DMs are blowing up and multiple superstars are interested. What? No no no! Not possible! Roxie doesn’t have friends! She must be lying.
Actually, Roxie is going to SmackDown this Friday. What?! Who is she talking to?! Cora says she has some calls to make. Does McKenzie have Ronda’s number? No, sorry. Cora grumbles but then McKenzie quietly admits she does have Ronda’s number. But will Cora just have to pick the next best choice?

Backstage interview with Toxic Attraction.
They don’t care about #1 contenders to tag titles, since Gigi & Jacy should be #1 contenders to the Women’s Tag Team Championships. But “Batgirl” had to go and jump them! Tonight, she gets payback, but worse. Toxic Attraction doesn’t fear the flames. Jacy is gonna take care of Alba Fyre. When you mess with their gold, they will walk through fire to get revenge. Jacy vows to send Fyre back to her relatives in Middle Earth as a hot mess. And if Fyre wants to surprise them again, maybe they’ll have a surprise waiting for her in return. Jacy & Gigi head out, but will they have to eat those words very soon?
Kiana James is working on something.
That is not what she told them. No, what? Did you tell them Kiana was asking? Well then tell them this is from THE Kiana James! She’s looking at the plans now! The land that Chase U is located on is far more valuable than the college itself. She thanks her assistant, Gina, and asks if they have hard copies. Yes. Okay, good. Kiana tells her contact to contact her analytics team to get on this. Actually, she’ll be in the ring with Thea Hail tonight. It’ll make the deal that much more enjoyable. But remember: this is just one of many acquisitions. If they get this right, they’ll do much more business in the future. Kiana promises Gina this is going to be huge. But what about Chase U?!
Alba Fyre VS Jacy Jayne w/ Toxic Attraction!
NXT returns and Toxic Attraction make their entrance. The bell rings and Jacy talks trash. She runs in but Fyre dodges to then hook Jacy up!

Guess this is the surprise Toxic Attraction meant! Sonya RAMS Fyre into barriers, fans are fired up, and Sonya stands Fyre up to get in her face. Sonya fires off body shots, Gigi & Jacy join in! They mug Fyre while the ref reprimands! They bring Fyre to the steel steps, Sonya BOOTS Fyre down! Sonya then clears off the desk so that she and Toxic Attraction can SHIELD BOMB Fyre through the desk!!
Fans are losing their minds but it seems the Toxic Goddess made a deal with the Deville! Will Fyre be in any shape to fight Mandy Rose now? Or is this just fuel for the fire before Halloween Havoc?
The Schism is furious!
What was Grimes doing going after them!? Jagger DECKS the cameraman! Gacy tells Grimes, “We tried to bring you into our world, but now we must eliminate you from it! I tried so hard to save you from your pathetic existence. Now, you must face the full force of Schism three on one because you and I both know you have no one to turn to. And you will fight. You will fight just like Cameron Grimes can. You will use every ounce of oxygen you have in your body. That is, until you take your last gasp.” The Schism’s wrath is coming for Grimes, but will Grimes find a way to survive?
Zoey Stark & Nikkita Lyons speak.
Being #1 contenders sounds great, but Stark asks Lyons if she knows what sounds better. No, what? “Nikkita Lyons & Zoey Stark, the NEW NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions!” Lyons understands Kayden & Katana are best friends, they’ve been a team forever. That’s great. But Lyons & Stark compliment each other. Lyons is a take it or leave it type while Stark is more reserved. Stark makes it sound like her focus and determination is a bad thing. It’s not! Lyons was at the 2021 Las Vegas tryouts when HHH pointed Zoey Stark out to her. Stark, of course, was at the previous Vegas tryouts and impressed NXT. Lyons acknowledged Stark had been a big help in her getting going here.
Lyons says Stark’s drive is incredible. What Stark can do in the ring is amazing. Stark appreciates that, but Lyons’ development is so fast and great, it’s also awesome. They’re both starting to loosen up just a bit here, but one thing for sure is no matter the time, no matter the date, when they get that title match, they’re becoming champions! They even got a secret handshake down! Will these fast friends be fast champions together?
Quincy Elliot, Hank Walker and the security guards watch backstage.
They’re all impressed by Lyons & Stark. They’re firing on all cylinders! And now they’re #1 contenders! Hank says that was last week, but next week, when Quincy takes on Xyon Quinn, Hank’s got his back. Quincy tells “Hanky” he appreciates that. And boys, you all be good. Quincy heads out, and Hank returns that sportsman butt smack. Oh, Hanky! Now that’s chemistry. The guards suggest a team up, will we see the Super Diva and the Every Man become contenders in their own right?
Wes Lee VS Channing Lorenzo!
The Must-See Kid is in action ahead of the North American Championship Ladder Match, looking to prove to Stacks that what happened to Tony D’Angelo wasn’t his fault. But will Stacks be made to believe that? Or will Stacks make sure Wes has his own “accident?”
NXT returns as Stacks makes his entrance. The footage replays of Tony’s injury and while Wes defends his innocence, Stacks is just fired up. The bell rings, Stacks rushes in, but Wes dodges the chop block. Wes argues with Stacks, hen Stacks shoots in to trip Wes up! Wes kicks him away but Stacks comes back, into a RANA! Wes wants Stacks to chill out, but Stacks runs in again. Wes dodges, runs and RANAS again! Then DROPKICKS! Stacks flounders to a corner and WEs tells him to slow down. Stacks doesn’t care, he run sin, into a Oklahoma Roll! TWO, and Wes runs in, but he blocks the drop toehold!
Stacks RAMS Wes into the corner, lets off and ROCKS Wes! Stacks gets a leg to DRAGON SCREW it into ropes! Stacks then grabs at Wes but Wes kicks him away. Stacks CHOP BLOCKS Wes down! Fans boo but Stacks drags Wes into a toehold. Stacks punches away on the leg but Wes kicks free. Wes goes to a corner, Stacks drags Wes up, and Stacks goes after the leg for a SHIN BREAKER! Fans boo as Stacks talks trash. Stacks drags Wes around to step through and tie up the leg in a DEATHLOCK! Fans rally for Wes as he endures, but Stacks thrashes the hold! Wes fights, pries at the hold, and he DECKS Stacks!
The hold is undone and both men stand. Stacks throws hands but Wes throws counter punches! And a BIG back elbow! Wes bobs ‘n’ weaves, fires off hands, and he has Stacks wobbling into a corner! Wes lets off to whip corner to corner. Wes runs in to UPPERCUT! Fans fire up and Wes shakes out his leg. Wes runs in but the leg gives out! Stacks storms up to scoop to a torture rack! SWINGING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!! Wes is still in this and Stacks is furious! Fans fire up but Stacks climbs up. Wes anchors Stacks and THROWS him down! Wes goes up top, aims and SKY TWISTERS! Cover, Wes wins!
Winner: Wes Lee, by pinfall
A gritty win for the high-flyer, and now he is headed for- TRICK WILLIAMS ATTACKS! Trick and Wes throw hands, there’s still beef here! Carmelo Hayes adds on! Melo & Trick mug Wes and fans boo! But here comes ORO! Oro DECKS Trick, and clinches Melo for an EXPLODER! Oro TOSSES Trick and fans fire up! Oro aims at Melo from a corner, but Trick drags Melo out of the ring! Oro Mensah dares them to come back, but Wes FLIES onto Melo & Trick to take them out! Fans fire up as Wes and Oro take out a common enemy, but Halloween Havoc will be every man for himself. Who climbs up to take the title down?
Sonya Deville and Toxic Attraction talk in the lounge.
They all feel great after beating Fyre down, but in walks McKenzie. Jacy guesses that McKenzie’s about to ask why Sonya is here. Actually, yes, why is Sonya here? Sonya says she and Mandy have had their differences, but in the end, they’re still best friends. So if Gigi & Jacy are Mandy’s girls, they’re Sonya’s girls, too. Does that make sense? Now, who knows what Fyre is thinking with her burning, flaming bat or whatever, but maybe it burned some of her brain cells. Because you can’t just abduct the greatest NXT Women’s Champion ever and get away with it! You all get that, right? That’s why Sonya is here.
Now, McKenzie, while you’re here, Sonya wants to ask a favor. McKenzie should go wait outside medical for when Fyre exits, and tell her for them that next week, Sonya will be waiting in the ring for her. And if Fyre chooses to show up, she won’t make it to Halloween Havoc. Gigi excuses McKenzie and she leaves. Will Sonya get payback for Mandy and clear her Halloween Havoc card? Or will Fyre just burn another Toxic lackey?
Diamond Mine is at the hospital.
Julius & Brutus Creed wait, and Ivy Nile wheels Roderick Strong in. Roddy’s glad to see them. He’s almost ready to get out of here. Julius admits, it’s tough seeing him like this. Ivy notes Roddy looks better than last week. Roddy says it’s one day at time. But what’s up, Big Brut? Why so down? Brutus says Damon’s gonna pay for what he did. At Halloween Havoc, Julius will put Damon in an ambulance! Hopefully there’ll be an extra bed here for him. Roddy is sure they’ll find the space. But he also wants to say… “I’m sorry. I’m the one that brought Damon in. I’m the one that asked you guys to trust me. And I might be the reason Diamond Mine-”
Julius says it’s okay, Roddy shouldn’t think like that. Julius will get them through this. Roddy says he would’ve been fighting by their side, but now he can’t. “But you guys can. At Halloween Havoc, Julius, I just need one thing.” Anything! “Win! Because it’s Diamond Mine Forever!” Will the Creeds make Roddy proud and take down the Golden Gopher?
Kiana James VS Thea Hail w/ Chase U!
We all know that the Professional Professional Wrestler is planning on a land grab scheme for the ages, but will the star pupil stump her? Or is tonight’s #TeachableMoment that you can’t fight big business?
The bell rings and Thea is fired up. But wait, Robert Stone barges into the ring? “Sorry to interrupt, Kiana, but I’ve got some business that I need to talk about!” Kiana respects that. Stone says he should be celebrating Von Wagner going to Halloween Havoc, but instead, the world is laughing at him! And they are laughing because of THEA! Aw boo hoo~! Robert says she had the audacity to slam him! Fans chant, “You Got Slammed!” Stone says it is not a good idea to put your hands on him! Now, he’ll ruin her night! But then he runs into a back drop! Fans fire up but Kiana is stalking Thea! Thea turns around and Kiana runs in to COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, Kiana wins!
Winner: Kiana James, by pinfall
Well, it seems the real lesson is to not take your eyes off the ball! Thea is frustrated with herself, but is this just phase one of Kiana’s hostile takeover?
Stacks grumbles backstage.
But then Tony D’Angelo walks in. Stacks asks him how he’s doing, but The Don says he’s doing better than Stacks. Tonight, Stacks lost to Wes. And a couple weeks ago, Tony told Stacks to get off the apron but Stacks wouldn’t listen. So what happens? Tony blows his PCL while Stacks is in pieces! But Stacks said it himself, “Actions have consequences.” Stacks feels those consequences next week in another match. Against Wes? No. Tony will see Stacks at the car. Wait, hold on. Stacks is down to fight anyone, but who’s he facing? Does Stacks remember that time in 8th grade when Stacks beat up Ralphie just for cutting him in line?
Yeah. That was a war. No one disrespects Stacks. Right. Well, it’ll be something like that. Against who? Tony tells Stacks that he loves him, but Stacks will know when the music hits. See you then. Stacks says that’s fine, but will it be a fight Stacks can’t win?
Robert Stone picks himself up backstage.
And yes, people are laughing at him. But then Von asks Stone what the hell! Stone just needs to calm down, they’ve got less than two weeks until Halloween Havoc, they need to start getting serious. Stone knows but- Von tells Stone to cut the BS and understand who is in that match with him. Stone needs to be locked in so that no one stops Von from grabbing the belt. Right, Stone is sorry. Old habits creep up, but it’s time for Von to be champion. That’s more like it! Will Suit Man Stone stop being the butt of jokes and help Wagner’s World become a reality?
Backstage interview with Cameron Grimes.
McKenzie asks Grimes about the Schism’s challenge. Does he plan on going it alone? Or does he have partners? Grimes tells McKenzie, “What a difference a week makes! I’d be lying if I didn’t say it felt so good to cost The Dyad that #1 contendership. But Joe’s right. There is no one in NXT that I trust.” So it will be 3v1? Oh no, Grimes may not trust anyone in NXT, but he doesn’t count ALL of the WWE. See you next week.
But wait! Cora cuts McKenzie off from throwing things back to ringside. Cora says if Roxie wants to go to SmackDown because she knows someone, then guess what! Rhea Ripley just texted back, and she wants Cora to go to Raw! Look, here on her phone! Really? Roxie can go to SmackDown, Cora’s going to Raw, so HAH! Now who might be lying? But it seems we’re all but set on that Pick Your Poison! Who from SmackDown is facing Cora? And who from Raw is facing Roxie?
Ilja Dragunov VS Grayson Waller!
Speaking of disrespect, The Czar doesn’t stand for that, either. The 21st Century Success Story insinuated the Torpedo Moscow to Bron wasn’t an accident, but will he be getting one on purpose? Or can the Grayson Waller Effect throw Dragunov off his game?
NXT returns as Waller makes his entrance. The bell rings, the two circle as fans rally up. They tie up, go around, fans actually duel as there are some Waller-bies tonight. Waller puts Dragunov on the ropes, lets off as the ref counts, but Dragunov avoids the sucker punch! Waller uses ropes as a defense when Dragunov shows punch! The fans taunt Waller as he bails out. Dragunov waits, Waller returns, and the two go again. Dragunov clinches to SLAM Waller, then he facelocks to keep Waller down. Waller fights up, Dragunov wrenches and then hits an arm-drag! Dragunov keeps on the armlock and he gets a cover, ONE!
Dragunov facelocks Waller again, wrenches again, and wristlocks hard. Waller rolls, handsprings and knees low to get free. Waller goes after Dragunov’s arm, but Dragunov endures. Waller WRINGS Dragunov out and goes for the legs, but Dragunov kicks him away. Waller comes back, into the BACKHAND! Dragunov SENTONS and fires up! Fans fire up with him and Dragunov runs at Waller in the corner for a KNEE! Dragunov pushes Waller down, flips him around, and he waistlocks. Waller fights as Dragunov lifts, “This is Wrestling!” Dragunov has the arms but Waller gets the ropes. The ref counts, Dragunov lets off, and Waller sucker punches!
Fans boo and the ref reprimands but Waller grins. Waller aims, runs in, and LEG LARIATS! Waller mocks Dragunov and Booker, and tells Booker to “SUCK IT”!? Waller’s asking for trouble now! Fans boo while NXT goes picture in picture.
Waller continues to taunt Booker and fakes doing a spinarooni to rain down forearms on Dragunov. Waller lets off to stalk Dragunov to a corner. Waller EuroUppers and Dragunov staggers to another corner. Dragunov CHOPS back, but Waller JABS Dragunov. Waller snap suplexes hard, then he taunts Dragunov with drop steps. Waller drops a knee on Dragunov, but Dragunov KICKS from below! Waller stomps and CLUBS Dragunov, whips him to ropes, but Dragunov ducks ‘n’ dodges, into another LEG LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Waller is annoyed but he JAMS his knee into Dragunov’s back over and over. Waller drops an elbow, covers, ONE!!
Waller is upset with the ref but the count was fair. Waller stalks Dragunov to a corner, drags him up and snapmares him, to then clamp on a chinlock. Dragunov endures, fights up, and he throws elbows. Waller CLUBS Dragunov down, then digs his face into the mat before a knee drop! Waller scowls but he avoids the kicks. Waller toys with Dragunov as he kicks him around, then he drops on him for a cover. TWO, but Waller cravats and neck wrenches Dragunov. Dragunov endures, NXT returns to single picture, and fans rally up. Dragunov pries at the hold, fights up, and he throws body shots! Waller throws knees!
Waller reels Dragunov in to suplex. Dragunov fights to a cradle! TWO, and Dragunov trips Waller! Waller kicks Dragunov away, Dragunov tiger feints and CHOPS! Dragunov reels Waller in to CLUB him down! Waller is gasping and fans want that “ONE MORE TIME!” Dragunov drags Waller up to CLUB him again! Waller’s soul might be leaving him but Dragunov fires off boxing elbows! Waller ducks the backhand to JAB, but Dragunov ENZIGURIS! Fans fire up and Dragunov stands up. Dragunov runs in to KNEE Waller against ropes! Dragunov pump handles Waller for an EXPLODER! Waller crawls but Dragunov snarls.
Fans fire up as Dragunov stalks Waller. Dragunov waistlocks but Waller hurries to fight it! Waller headlock punches Dragunov right in the eyes! Fans boo but Waller mule kicks and ROLLING KICKS! Waller hobbles to a corner while Dragunov is down. Waller hops up, walks along the ropes, and takes his shot, BALLER ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Dragunov survives and Waller is frustrated. Fans rally up, Waller drags Dragunov around and he rains down forearms to the back! Cover, TWO!! Dragunov is still in this but Waller shouts, “This is MY house!” Waller clamps on a SLEEPER! Dragunov endures, fights up, and he RAMS Waller into a corner!
Waller holds on but Dragunov throws elbow after elbow! Dragunov RAMS Waller again, but Waller shoves him away. Dragunov tiger feints for the CONSTANTINE SPECIAL! Fans fire up as both men stir and stand. Dragunov goes to a corner, fires up, but Waller dropkicks his legs out! SLEEPER! Waller has Dragunov caught with body scissors and fans fire up! Dragunov slips his hands into the grip but Waller stands up to shift the hands! Dragunov THROWS Waller off! Both men stagger, Waller slingshots to HOTSHOT Dragunov down! Waller then sets up at the ramp, but the lights change! Waller looks to see the wheel! The wheel spins on its own!?
Waller hurries to run and somersault, but into a GERMAN SUPLEX! And another! Dragunov holds on, Waller fights the waistlock, so Dragunov Gotch Lifts! SINGLE LEG SUPLEX! Fans fire up with Dragunov as he slaps some sense into himself! “UN! BE! SIEG! BAR!” TORPEDO MOSCOW!! Cover, Dragunov wins!
Winner: Ilja Dragunov, by pinfall
The Czar wins quite the fight with Waller, but Waller is still not sure what he saw. Will Waller be ready for whatever fate Apollo has in mind? But wait, Bron SPEARS Dragunov!! Bron tears off his shirt because that was on purpose! The NXT Champion stands tall over Dragunov, and JD is in the crowd applauding! Is the Irish Ace going to play his two opponents against each other? Or will he end up collateral damage when these titans collide?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of NXT to continue from Extreme Rules and Raw, as well as continue towards Halloween Havoc. We got a legit Match of the Year candidate out of Frazer VS Axiom in their third round. Frazer winning in that quick fashion was a great move, as it keeps Axiom fairly strong in defeat. Frazer in the ladder match is great stuff, that’s quite a lot of speed in that match with him, Wes, Melo and Oro. Really good stuff from Wes VS Stacks, and after that quick brawl, I wonder if we’ll get a tag match of Melo & Trick VS Wes & Oro in next week’s go-home. And I’m very curious to who is facing Stacks next week. I would think Tony’s line about the theme song means it’s someone already established in NXT.
Stone getting involved in Thea VS Kiana was a bit of a surprise, but of course Stone gets whooped. Von wants him to get serious, and you can be Stone will interfere in the ladder match, but I don’t see Von coming out the champion. Speaking of Thea VS Kiana, what an interesting story for a feud. Kiana wants to get into land development, even if it means tearing down a school that, as far as anyone can tell, has good numbers. I feel like Kiana is gonna need to recruit male wrestlers for this feud, and I’m sure there are any number of prospects waiting in the wings for a screen time opportunity. Just about anyone that’s a regular on Level Up could jump into this.
Stark and Lyons had a good promo together to parallel Kayden & Katana from last week. I could see their match with KC Squared going either way, but that’s going to make for a very fun match on the go-home. And just as their promo together teased, I also had a feeling we’d be seeing Quincy VS Quinn and then Quincy & Hank as a team. It also seems Veer and Sanga are getting their team back together, at the unfortunate expense of Feroz. She lost her support so she lost to Indi, which is good for Indi even though I still feel she should be going to Raw by now to join literally everyone else in The Way. But as for Veer and Sanga, being some new form of Indus Sher would be pretty awesome for the men’s tag division.
Speaking of, we got a very goofy promo from Pretty Deadly but a great Triple Threat Tag. I like that it was a full Triple Threat, with every team legal at once. And I love that Grimes attacked Gacy to help Malik & Edris. I was hoping Grimes, Malik & Edris would be the ones facing The Schism together, but it seems there’s going to be a RawDown related surprise. Who could it be Grimes is talking about that he knows so well? As for Malik & Edris, they’ll give Pretty Deadly a great match, but I can’t say Malik & Edris will win. It’d be awesome if they did because fans really like those guys, but it feels like Pretty Deadly is really only getting going as champions.
Did anyone else get just the cheesiest after school special vibes from the Diamond Mine promo? Just something about it seemed so soap opera meets 90s teen series. But point is, Roddy is a good guy again, he and the rest of Diamond Mine put the past behind them because they know Damon’s the real enemy. At the same time, because an Ambulance Match is No Disqualification, there has to be some kind of twist coming. Brutus and maybe even Strong could try and help Julius, only for Damon to use that against Julius. But at the same time, I would hope Julius wins so that he and Brutus aren’t separated.
Good stuff from Alba and Toxic Attraction, and what a twist that Sonya is Mandy’s friend again. I feel like Sonya is stepping in so that Mandy can have some time off to plan for the wedding with her fiancé and former NXT superstar, Tito Sabbatelli. Fyre VS Sonya is going to be great stuff, and I would think Fyre wins to get some momentum back. This new wrinkle makes me wonder if Mandy really will pass one year as champion, and we’ll have to wait until closer to Royal Rumble or even WrestleMania for someone to dethrone her. Ugh. Honestly, I feel like a loss at her one year mark makes for a clean exit for Toxic Attraction to join Sonya on RawDown as we head into those same seasons.
And of course, great stuff out of the NXT Championship story. It was natural for JD to show up as Bron is about to have his match. JD didn’t exactly help Javi out, he just watched as Bron squashed the guy. Great tie-in with Waller’s story with Apollo, and Waller gave Dragunov a great match in the main event. I wish we’d gotten to see the wheel stop so we know what kind of match Waller is having with Apollo, but maybe Apollo’s line about “the dark” is a clue. Lights Out? That’d be pretty fun since Wendy VS Tiffany in Lights Out was great stuff. But wheel distraction or not, of course Dragunov won here. And good use of the “accidental attack” near the start of the show and bookending it (no pun intended) with Bron’s ambush attack to close the show. Of course JD wants to use these two against each other, but I feel like that just means it’s between one of them to win the Triple Threat.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Hiroshi Tanahashi VS Jeff Cobb!
The Ace’s Final Road continues on, but it would seem the Imperial Unit has hit the end of his run in NJPW. Will the President give Cobb a proper sendoff? Or is there one last Tour of the Islands planned?
The bell rings and the fans rally up for “COBBU! COBBU!” Tanahashi nods, and Cobb is emotional hearing that. Cobb and Tanahashi circle, tie up, and Tanahashi waistlocks. But Cobb’s a bit too big to lift even for The Ace. Cobb walks over to the ROPEBREAK, and Tanahashi lets go. The fans applaud and the two reset. They tie up, Tanahashi wrenches and wristlocks, but Cobb powers through, wrenches and wristlocks in return, then hammerlocks to headlock. Tanahashi puts Cobb on the ropes, the ref counts, and Tanahashi lets go cleanly again. The fans applaud the continued sportsmanship, and the two reset again.
Cobb runs up, and he SLINGBLADES?! Cover, TWO!! The “Cobby Cat” strikes again but Tanahashi survives his own move. Cobb whips Tanahashi, Tanahashi grabs ropes, but Cobb runs up. Tanahashi BOOTS Cobb, runs up, but Cobb scoops! Cobb SLAMS Tanahashi, and then air guitars before the GACHIMUCHI- NO, Tanahashi avoids the moonsault! Then Tanahashi sets up, to MOONSAULT!? But Cobb moves so Tanahashi belly flops on the floor! The fans fire up while both men are pulling out all the stops. Cobb steps on Tanahashi, pretends he didn’t see Tanahashi there, and then brings Tanahashi up.
Cobb ROCKS Tanahashi with a forearm, then headlocks. Cobb brings Tanahashi to the ropes to show everyone as he messes with Tanahashi’s hair. Cobb then CLUBS Tanahashi, brings him around, and suplexes. Cobb holds Tanahashi up, the fans cheer as Cobb marches around with him, and then Cobb pops Tanahashi for a POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Tanahashi stays in this but Cobb stays on him with a GROUND COBRA! Cobb uses Tanahashi as the guitar, then CLUBS him in the ribs and chest! Cobb eggs Tanahashi on, and Tanahashi growls and rises up. Tanahashi fires body shots and forearms, but Cobb just HEADBUTTS back!
Tanahashi staggers away to a corner, and Cobb runs up, only for Tanahashi to dodge! Tanahashi dropkicks Cobb’s legs! Tanahashi then grabs one, and Cobb asks for mercy! Cobb apologizes, but Tanahashi says bye-bye! DRAGON SCREW! The fans cheer while Cobb clutches his leg. Tanahashi storms up on Cobb to fire more fast hands! Tanahashi then says, “MY POWER!” And he SCOOP SLAMS Cobb! The fans fire up as Tanahashi climbs the corner. Tanahashi hits the SUNSET SENTON! Cover, TWO! Cobb is tougher than that but Tanahashi gets moving. But Cobb ROCKS Tanahashi! Cobb winds up, he runs, but Tanahashi dodges the slingblade!
Tanahashi waistlocks, Cobb switches, but Tanahashi throws elbows. Cobb picks Tanahashi up to SLAM him down, and FALLING HAMMER! Cover, TWO! Tanahashi stays in this, but the GACHIMUCHI MOONSAULT hits! Cover, TWO!! Tanahashi survives the double impact, but Cobb looms over him. Cobb drags Tanahashi up, fires his own fast hand combo, then scoops to SLAM Tanahashi! Cobb grins as he looks to the corner. The fans fire up as Cobb hops up, air guitar and the pose, SUNSET FLOP as Tanahashi moves! Tanahashi runs, but Cobb grabs tights! Cobb reels Tanahashi in, but Tanahashi elbows free!
Cobb SHOTEIS! Tanahashi SHOTEIS! Tanahashi hits a TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! The fans fire up as Tanahashi goes up the corner! But Cobb stands! Tanahashi HIGH FLY ATTACKS, but Cobb catches him! Cobb pops Tanahashi up, shifts around, and ATHLETIC- SLINGBLADE?!? Cover, TWO!! Tanahashi rises, the fans fire up, and Tanahashi runs to SLING- NO, Cobb gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX! But Tanahashi rises again! SLING- NO, Cobb scoops Tanahashi, but then pops him around again! TOUR OF THE ISLANDS!! Cobb roars, but he’s not done!! Cobb ripcords Tanahashi for the RIPCORD- CRADLE COUNTER!! TANAHASHI WINS!!
Winner: Hiroshi Tanahashi, by pinfall
Cobb got cocky and it to cost him! Tanahashi still tells Cobb he’s proud of him and of Cobb’s time here in NJPW. The two shake hands and hug it out while the fans cheer. Tanahashi’s Final Road rolls on, and The United Empire is here to say farewell to their friend. Cobb is handed a mic, and Chris Charleton is there to interpret. Cobb says he was not expecting to lose tonight. But first and foremost, he wants to thank the people that don’t even get seen by the fans. The NJPW staff, the music team, the NJPW World techs, the boys ‘n’ girls in the back, and all the wrestlers Cobb calls “family.” The fans applaud and Cobb says Chris’s Japanese is good.
Cobb takes a moment before he says he had a speech ready, but he’s kinda blanking out from the pressure. Online, there has been an outpouring of love, #ThankYouCobb. But really, he should be thanking each and every one of the fans. Cobb gets emotional again while Chris translates for him. Cobb knows it’s a bit of a crappy situation, but he wants Callum Newman to know, he’s got the ball, so run with it. Cobb lets Chris translate now, and then Cobb wraps by thanking the Empire members here, from Khan, to Templario, to “Jakob Change Your Name,” to Akira and to Callum.
And lastly, Cobb says this is not goodbye, but more see you later. Thank you, NJPW. Thank you, fans. Domo arigato gozaimasu! The fans cheer for Cobb one more time, and he bows deeply to them all. When and where will we see Cobb in the ring, any ring, again?
10 Man Elimination Tag: Los Ingobernables de Japon VS Yuya Uemura, Shota Umino, Taichi, Taka Michinoku & YOSHI-HASHI!
Well, not only is The Ace on his Final Road, but it would seem Tetsuya Naito and Bushi are on their own way out of NJPW. Then will they and their amigos start their Road to Wrestling Dontaku with a celebration? Or will the Heat Storm, Roughneck, Holy Emperor, Blue Playmaker and Headhunter make this anything but tranquilo?
The teams sort out and there’s a lot of entrance attire to put aside. Once Naito is done putting the pants away, LIJ fist bumps while Just4Guys/Hontai shake hands. Yuya steps up against Naito and the fans fire up already. Naito and Yuya stare down while the fans cheer “NA-I-TO! NA-I-TO!” Naito and Yuya step up, but then Naito tags to Bushi. The fans cheer Bushi on now, he circles with Yuya, but then Bushi tags out to Yota. The fans rally as Yuya and Yota feel things out, giving us a taste of their IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship match. They tie up, are in a deadlock, and Yuya wrenches Yota to a wristlock.
Yota slips around, full nelsons, but Yuya breaks that to hammerlock. Yota reaches back to facelock, then he wrenches again. Yuya rolls, wrenches, and arm-drags Yota down. But Yota headscissors! Yuya kips free, and the fans cheer the standoff. Yota and Yuya reset, tie up, and Yota headlocks. Yuya powers up and out, drops down, then hurdles over to arm-drag again! The fans cheer as Yuya has the armlock. Yota fights up, fights around, but Yuya brings him over and Taka tags in. Taka kicks Yota, CLUBS him, then stomps him. Taka knees low, runs, but Yota dropkicks a leg out! LIJ rushes in and BLASTS Hontai! Then they bring Taka to the ropes!
Hontai rushes in to save Taka! The fans fire up as everyone fights at the ropes, and Taka lands safe on the apron! Taka scurries around the way and back into the ring! The fans cheer, but then Takagi & Yota split the wishbone! Hiromu tags in, he brings Taka up and CHOPS! Hiromu whips corner to corner, runs up and LARIATS! Hiromu snapmares and runs to basement dropkick! The fans fire up and Hiromu brings Naito in. They double whip to TENDEDERO! Cover, TWO! The fans rally up as Hiromu bumps Taka off buckles, then he tags Takagi. Takagi RAMS into Taka again and again, but Taka fires body shots.
Takagi HEADBUTTS Taka down, then suplexes high and hard! Cover, TWO! Takagi sits Taka up, runs to BLAST Shota, and the fans cheer! Takagi drags Taka up to HEADBUTT the arm, then wrench it. Tag to Bushi and he CLUBS the arm. Bushi CLUBS Taka down, stomps him, then has the legs. Bushi stands on Taka’s groin! Red Shoes reprimands, Bushi steps off at 4, then stomps Taka around. Tag to Naito and the fans rally as he brings Taka up. Naito cravats Taka, then Hiromu sits in the ropes. Hiromu claims Hontai is up to something, Red Shoes looks over, and Naito SMACKS Taka off Hiromu’s boots!
Taichi protests, but Naito throws hands on Taka. Taka tries to hit back but there’s not much there. Naito CLUBS Taka, but Taka fires a flurry! Naito just ROCKS Taka! Naito runs, but Taka goes the other way to BOOT Naito down! The fans rally up, hot tag to Taichi! Taichi runs at Naito in the corner and BOOTS him! Yota gets in, kicks Taichi then whips, but Taichi BOOTS Yota! Takagi runs up, Taichi dodges to wrench and HOOK KICK! Hiromu gets up but Taichi BLASTS him! Bushi backs off, but Naito CLUBS Taichi. Naito whips, but Taichi reverses to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Cover, TWO! The fans rally up while Naito crawls.
Taichi paces, waits on Naito to sit up, but Naito ducks the buzzsaw! Naito shoves Taichi, Bushi trips him up! Bushi tags in and stomps Taichi around. Bushi ROCKS Taichi, whips, but Taichi grabs ropes. Bushi runs up again but Taichi BOOTS him down! Taichi tags Hashi and Hashi drags Bushi up. Hashi ROCKS and CLUBS Bushi, whips him, but Bushi reveres. Hashi dodges to ELBOW Bushi, then runs, but into a DROPKICK! LIJ blasts Hontai’s corner again! Hashi rolls out under the bottom rope, Bushi BLASTS him off the apron, then Bushi builds speed. But Hashi gets back in to CLOBBER Bushi!
Hashi drags Bushi up, hooks a leg, but Bushi fights free! Hashi blocks a kick, ducks the enzigiri, but the REWIND HEEL hits! Bushi runs in from the corner, but Hashi stops the Code Breaker! Taka joins in, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Cover, TWO!! Bushi survives, but Hashi clamps on the BUTTERFLY LOCK! Bushi endures, fights around, and Naito gets on the apron, only for Taichi to BOOT him down! Taichi intercepts Hiromu, and Bushi TAPS! Hashi ELIMINATES Bushi! Takagi CLOBBERS Hashi, then drops ELBOW after ELBOW! Takagi SENTONS but misses as Hashi moves! Shota storms in and stomps Takagi!

Hashi RAMS Takagi, they trade forearms, but then Takagi HOTSHOTS Hashi! Hashi holds onto the ropes, then ROCKS Takagi! Takagi staggers, Shota runs up, but Takagi throws him into Hashi! Hashi falls to the floor, Takagi ELIMINATES Hashi! The teams are even again after that friendly fire, and Takagi rolls Shota! TWO, and things speed up! Takagi ELBOWS, JABS, and YUKON LARIATS! The fans fire up while Takagi fires up, “TOKI GA KITA!”
The fans rally as Takagi runs up, but he blocks a boot to then LARIAT! JAB, CHOP, repeat, then Takagi JABS, JABS, JABS, and CHOPS! Takagi brings Shota up, suplexes, but Shota fights it so Takagi hits the TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Cover, TWO! Shota stays in this but Takagi stays focused. The fans join in with “OI! OI! OI!” and Takagi storms up on Shota. Takagi pump handles but Shota fights the lift. Shota switches, Takagi fires elbows, but Shota ducks! Shota wrenches and SWINGING NECKBREAKERS! The fans are torn but Shota drags Takagi up. Shota CHOPS Takagi in the corner, CHOPS, and CHOPS again! Shota whips corner to corner, runs up, and UPPERCUTS!
Shota reels Takagi in, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Shota clamps on an STF! Takagi endures, fights around, and he drags Shota along towards the ropes! ROPEBREAK, the fans cheer, and Shota lets go. Shota brings Takagi up, but Takagi denies the tornado DDT! Shota fires forearms to ROCK Takagi again and again, but Takagi just headbutts the buckles to fire up! The fans fire up and Shota fires another forearm, only for Takagi to fire back! Shota headbutts the buckles to fire up! The forearms start flying again, but then Takagi fires boxing elbows! Takagi ROCKS Shota, but Shota fires boxing elbows now!
Shota ROCKS Takagi, then runs, but Takagi follows! LARIAT at the ropes! Takagi runs, Shota follows, LARIAT at the ropes! Shota runs, but DOUBLE LARIATS collide! Neither man falls, so DOUBLE LARIATS collide again! Shota roars, but Takagi ELBOWS! JABS! YUKON- SHOTA LARIATS! But Takagi’s up to PUMPING BOMBER!

Winners: Los Ingobernables de Japon, by ring out
It came down to the leaders as the last men, but the Uncontrollable Charisma found a way to win for the team! LIJ regroups and Naito is given the mic. “Buenas tardes, Korakuen Hall!” The fans cheer, and Naito says, “First and foremost… Bushi, why don’t you say something to the fans?” The fans applaud and Bushi takes a quick drink of water before he takes up the mic. “Now that I have this time, I’ll say this. As previously announced by NJPW, my departure was a decision made after a lot of thought. I have no regrets.” The fans applaud that, and Bushi continues, “My feelings haven’t changed since I spoke here 10 years ago. It’s been a deeply fulfilling experience.”
The fans applaud that, too, and Bushi says, “This Dontaku tour is only getting started. When I step into this ring, I’ll show my gratitude in my own way. Thank you.” The fans applaud again, and Bushi hands the mic back to Naito. Naito also notes that the Road to Wrestling Dontaku has just begun. He and Bushi will be leaving NJPW after May 4th. “Whether Bushi and I will compete in this ring again or not, you already know, don’t you? Yes, the answer is of course, TRANQUILO! Assen na yo!” The fans applaud Naito being Naito even now. Naito then asks if they want to do the roll call, and the fans cheer!
Naito notes they haven’t had one at all this year, so this will be the first roll call of 2025. Are you ready? The fans cheer, so Naito says that the only way to close out tonight in Korakuen Hall is naturally with… “Bushi! Hiromu! Takagi! Titan! Yota! Y Naito! NOSOTROS! LOS! INGOBERRRRRRNABLEEEEES~! DE! JA! PON!!” The fans cheer the first LIJ roll call of 2025, but will we get more of them before May 4th? Will we get one on May 4th?
My Thoughts:
A great night to kick off the Road to Wrestling Dontaku, though of course it had to be on one of the busiest weekends of the year. Great goodbye match for Cobb with Tanahashi. It was a big awkward because while Tanahashi is still going to retire this year, Cobb was leaving, and so Cobb leaving NJPW trumps Tanahashi retiring, meaning Cobb had to lose. It’s the unwritten tradition of pro-wrestling. Very good farewell promo from Cobb, too, and I can’t wait to see where he goes next. Word is, it isn’t AEW, and perhaps the WWE rumors have still been true all along, they just leaked out way too soon.
And then very good 10 Man Elimination Tag in the main event, and it works out that LIJ won. Naito & Bushi needed a chance to address the fans about their own departure from NJPW, and so giving them the win so they can do a main event promo was fitting. In my estimation, I don’t see Naito going to any other company, even if it’s another Japanese based company. He’s done plenty in his career, he’s pushed his body pretty hard, so he needs to enjoy retirement, or at least make a lateral movement to be working with Young Lions in the NJPW Dojo as a teacher. Bushi, could probably keep going a little longer, or he could also call it a day on the other hand, only Bushi really knows how his body feels.
My Score: 8.8/10

Open Challenge: Randy Orton VS ???
The Viper wanted to settle scores with The Prizefighter, but Kevin Owens needed major neck surgery, and now we don’t even know if Kevin will ever return to the ring. In the meantime, Orton still wants a match for his 20th, so he put it out there that anyone can step to him. Orton grabs a mic and he tells the fans, “Tonight marks my 20th WrestleMania! Ladies and gents, I said that I would be here at WrestleMania 41 ready to go. The only question now is, who is gonna come through that curtain? I’ll tell you one thing, whoever it is, they’re gonna get their WrestleMania Moment, and it’s gonna be courtesy of the three most dangerous letters in all of sports entertainment: R K O!”
Orton throws down the mic, paces inside the ring, and who answers the call? “Say his name and he appears… I believe in Joe Hendry!” That’s right!

The fans cheer, Orton tells Hendry that all these people believe in him, and Hendry thanks Orton. Orton raises Hendry’s hand in respect, the fans cheer more, and then Orton RKOS!! Thanks for coming, Hendry! And then Orton… TURNS! Orton does his pose and the fans cheer. Will Orton only hit a new level of excellence on the other side of 20 years?
AJ Styles VS Logan Paul!
The Phenomenal One is just the newest of a long list of people that don’t like The Maverick. It isn’t Logan’s ability in the ring, it’s the fact Logan Paul is brash, obnoxious, and just downright arrogant, and that’s being nice. But will Styles use his own talent and ability to finally humble Logan? Or will Logan go from annoying to insufferable in the blink of an eye?
Logan of course vlogs his entrance with a selfie video, soaking up all the heat as he goes. Then things go multiscreen just so we can see Logan from all angles. One Logan Paul is bad enough, but imagine nine of him… Finally, Styles makes his entrance, and he knows he only needs to be the one and only. The bell rings and the two circle.

Kross has Jeff’s arm, and he snatches the knuckles away. Styles drags Jeff and THROWS him! Kross nods to Styles, and holds up the knuckle dusters… Kross promises he isn’t gonna do anything, he just wants Styles to use the knuckles to take out Logan. Logan puts them on, to DECK Kross! Styles then goes back to the apron, he ROCKS Logan with a forearm, and then springboards! Logan ducks the forearm, to hit ONE LUCKY RIGHT!!

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships: Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez VS Lyra Valkyria & ???

Stone Cold Steve Austin is here!
Vegas goes nuts as the glass shatters, and The Texas Rattlesnake rides out on a four-wheeler! He goes down the ramp, goes around the ring a couple times, but then rams into the barrier! Whoops! Maybe Austin had a couple Steveweisers before coming out. Austin grabs a mic to say, “If you’re havin’ a great time at WrestleMania, gimme a ‘Hell Yeah!'” “HELL YEAH!” Austin says, “Some o’ ya heard me, some o’ ya didn’t. If you’re having a great time at WrestleMania, gimme a ‘Hell Yeah!'” “HELL YEAH!!” Austin says he is out here to announce tonight’s attendance. It is officially 63,226! And Austin’s been in a lot of buildings just like this, and it just feels like way more than 63,226!
The fans cheer, and Austin demands a recount! Sometimes when you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself. Everyone sit down and stay still so he can count. Austin actually starts counting! And every time, we get “WHAT?” Wait, are we gonna get 63,000 what’s?! Austin says nah, enough of that BS. 63,226 tonight, so the weekend total is 124,693 “solid ass cats!” Austin hopes everyone makes it home safely, and hopes everyone comes back for next year’s WrestleMania. “And that’s the bottom line, cuz Stone Cold said so!” The pyro goes off, and now Austin gets to have some Steveweisers! The fans cheer the beer bath, and Austin reloads for even more!
Austin goes back out to apologize to the fans behind the spot in the barriers he hit, then he chooses to walk back up the ramp. When and where will we see Stone Cold again?
Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes VS John Cena!
It’s the moment of truth. The Rock wanted The American Nightmare to “sell his soul” so he could be living the easy life as The Final Boss’s Champion. Cody rejected the offer in the most direct way possible, only for the sixteen-time world champion to show his true colors. And now, seven weeks later, after both verbal battles and physical confrontations, these two will finally put it to the test: Will Cody Rhodes do the “right thing?” Or will he do what it takes to win? The Last Time is Now, but will it also be Cena’s SEVENTEENTH time as world champion?
For Cena’s entrance, his tron is boiled down to just black and white, and his name up in lights. His final WrestleMania, and Cena won’t give the fans the satisfaction of a flashy, over the top spectacle of an entrance. As for Cody’s entrance, there’s a lot of smoke, and then there are Motocross dirt bike riders going across the stage! Then, as they stop and stand in line, and as the smoke clears, Cody Rhodes is there, a brand new skull helmet on his head. It opens up like Ironman’s helmet! The fans sing along with Cody’s song, “WHOA~ OH~!” The pyro goes off and Cody continues down the ramp, looking out at the sea of people here in Las Vegas.
Cody stands on the corner for the second “WHOA~ OH~!” and pyro, then he gets a hug and kiss from wife, daughter, and mother. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and time to learn the difference between the first and the last!
The fans are already thunderous with their dueling, “LET’S GO, CENA!” “CENA SUCKS!” The bell rings, the fans fire up more, and the two circle. Cena and Cody take a moment to hear all of that energy from the WWE Universe. The two then tie up, go around, and Cody headlocks. Cena endures as Cody grinds the hold, then he powers up and out. Cody runs Cena over! Cena bails out, the fans are torn, and Cody asks if this is supposed to be #BigMatchJohn. Cena cools off while the fans continue to duel. Cena steps back into the ring, Cody eggs him on, and the two reset. Cena seems just annoyed by the fans at this point.
Cody and Cena tie up. Cody headlocks, then shifts, and hammerlocks. Cena goes to the ropes, the ref counts the break, and Cody lets go. Cena steps outside in a huff, and he wants Cody to back off. Cody backs up, Cena steps back in, and the fans just get fired up again. Cody and Cena tie up. Cody waistlocks, Cena ELBOWS free, then he headlocks. Cena hits a headlock takeover, as if to show he can wrestle. Cody headscissors, and he holds Cena down with the squeeze. Cena powers free, but Cody DROPKICKS him! Cena bails out again and is just frustrated now. Cody builds speed and DIVES! No more escaping the action for Cena!
Cody puts Cena in, storms up, but Cena DECKS Cody! Cena then headlocks, but Cody powers him to a corner. The ref reprimands and counts, but Cena sucker punches Cody! The fans are torn as Cena stomps away on Cody! Cena bumps Cody off buckles, then whips him to ropes. Cena BOOTS Cody down, a rare thing for Cena even when he was in his prime. Cena does a mocking bow, then he DECKS Cody again! Cena stomps Cody, drags him up and reels him in, but the fans seem to be fighting about something of their own. Cody pops free to fire hands! Cena stomps Cody’s foot! Cena then KNEES Cody in the head!
Cena seethes while Cody crawls to a corner. Cena stalks Cody, drags him up, and Cena whips corner to corner. Cody hits buckles hard, then falls to the mat. Cody crawls under the bottom rope, but Cena grabs the legs! ROPE GUILLOTINE! Cena talks trash on Cody while he tumbles to the floor, then Cena goes out after Cody. Cena puts Cody in the ring, stalks him again, and runs up to BOOT Cody down! Cena then takes aim, runs up, and LARIATS! And then he LARIATS again! Cover, ONE!! Cody shows he’s tougher than that, but Cena clamps on a chinlock. Cody endures as Cena squeezes tight.
The fans rally as Cody fights the hold, but Cena leans on him. Cody fights up, stands, and he fires body shots! Cena lets go, and Cody ROCKS him with haymakers! Cody backs Cena down, has him on the ropes then whips, only for Cena to reverse, scoop, and SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO! Cena goes to a corner, hops up, and waits on Cody to stand. Cena leaps to AX HANDLE! Cena brings out more classic pro-wrestling moves, and he bumps Cody off buckles! Cena hops up again, to AX HANDLE again! Cena climbs up again, Cody stands back up, and Cena AX- NO, Cody kicks low! Cody ROCKS Cena with more rights!
Cena pokes Cody in the eyes! And then Cena CLUBS and HAMMERS away on Cody! Cover, TWO! Cody stays in this, even as Cena resorts to some new lows. But Cena grins as he literally kicks Cody’s butt! Cena hears the fans duel even harder as he stands Cody up. Cena whips, Cody reverses, then Cody runs up, but into a BOOT! Cena goes up, to TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Cody survives as Cena turns it up a notch. Cena taunts the fans, taunts Cody, and then runs to get the SHOULDER TACKLES going! Now Cena brings out his classic move, but then he stops with just one. Cena dares Cody to get up, and then he runs to SHOULDER TACKLE again!
Cena grins as he’s basically toying with Cody now. Cody staggers up, Cena reels Cody in, and hits the SPIN OUT BOMB! The fans know what’s next in the “five moves of doom,” and Cena knows we know. Cena shakes out his hand, holds it up, and says- EYE POKE from Cody! Cena staggers, runs up on Cody anyway, but Cody goes up and over to SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans are torn as Cody powers up! DISASTER KICK! Cody pounds the mat, the fans rally and duel, and Cody runs to springboard and CODY CUTTER! Cover, TWO! Cena survives but Cody stays focused. Cody waits on Cena, to JAB! JAB! JAB!
Cody flips, flops, flies, but Cena drop toeholds! Cody fights off the STF, but Cena fireman’s carries! ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!! Cover, TWO!?! Cody survives, and Cena is actually amused! Cena decides to get back on track, and he tells the fans that “You Can’t See Me!” FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! Then fireman’s carry, but Cody sunset flips! TWO! Cody is up, he counter punches Cena! Cody whips, Cena reverses, but Cody goes up and out, then ROCKS Cena! Cody goes up, up, but Cena hits the ropes! That trips Cody up onto his crossroads! Cena climbs, and he fireman’s carries Cody for a SUPER A A!!! Cover, TWO?!?!
Cody survives the Avalanche Attitude Adjustment, aka the Triple A, and Cena is honestly surprised. Cena decides to pull out all the stops and he climbs up the corner. Cody rises, Cena aims, SUPER FAM- POWERBOMB!! High stack, TWO!! Cody’s counter did not finish this, but he and Cena both rise up. Cody looms over Cena, then he runs to go up the corner! SUPER CODY CUTTER!! Cover, TWO!!! Cena survives and now Cody is rather surprised! Cody huffs ‘n’ puffs and rises up. The fans are torn as Cody shouts for Cena to get up. Cena rises, Cody dragon sleepers! But Cena wrenches free, fireman’s carry, A A!!! And then the S T F U!!
Cody endures, crawls, drags Cena with him, reaches out, but Cena drags Cody back! S T F U!! Cody endures again, crawls again, drags Cena along again, and reaches out again, only for Cena to drag him back again! And even further! But Cody turns over and BOOTS Cena, into the ref!! Cena fireman’s carries, Cody slips free to dragon sleeper! CROSS RHODES!!! But no ref to count this cover! Cody would’ve won twice over! Maybe even three times over! Cody realizes what happened, and he goes to check the ref while Cena crawls away. Cena rips a buckle pad away! The fans can’t believe he’s going this far! Cena goes back for Cody, but Cody ROCKS Cena!
Cody ROCKS Cena again and again, backing Cena down, But then Cena sends Cody into the bare steel! And then back in again! Fireman’s carry, ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Cody survives and no one can believe this! Cena is beside himself, not sure what Cody is made of! WAIT! Is that Travis Scott?! Time to FE!N with the (honorary) Hardcore Champion! Cena grins as The Rock’s other guy makes his way out here! Scott is taking his time but Cena is happy to see him. Cena helps Scott to the apron, raises his hand in victory already, and then says one minute. Cena goes to fetch Cody, and Scott wants to take a shot!
The fans boo, but Cody elbows free! Cody chases Scott off, then he catches Cena! CROSS RHODES!! Cover, but Scott YANKS the ref out!! Cody is furious because the fix is in! Cody says he still owes Scott a receipt, and Scott says bet! Scott storms into the ring, talks some smack, and Cody dares Scott to take a shot. Scott tries, but Cody blocks it! CROSS RHODES for Travis Scott!! Cody pushes Scott out of the ring, but he’s a lot of deadweight. But wait! Cena has Cody’s belt! Cena winds up, BELT- NO, Cody blocks it! Cody says not today! They tug-o-war over the belt, Cody takes the belt away, and now Cena wants mercy!?
Cena wants Cody to remember: Is he going to do what’s right? Or is he going to do what it takes? Cody does hesitate, unsure which is which, and Cena LOW BLOWS him!! The fans are going nuts but Cena picks the belt back up. Cody rises to his feet, only to take the BELT SHOT!! Just like Elimination Chamber! Cena shouts to the ref, drags Cody to a cover, and the ref is in! The count begins, and CENA WINS!!!
Winner: John Cena, by pinfall (NEW Undisputed WWE Champion)
And there is history made! Cena did everything he had to, and even needed help from The Rock, but Cena now stands alone as THE historic 17-time WWE Champion! Scott celebrates with Cena, holding their belts high overhead. The pyro goes off as the number 17 is big and bright on the tron. The GOAT is truly THE GOAT, and Cody is living a nightmare. Will The Final Boss be pleased with what his champions did here tonight? Will Cena hold onto this title until he retires at the end of this year? Or can someone, anyone, prevent further tragedy on this twisted farewell tour?
My Thoughts:
Another great night for WrestleMania 41, especially when it had to follow that first great night. Opening with the Women’s World Championship is a good parallel to the World Heavyweight Championship opening yesterday, and that Triple Threat was awesome. All three women are obviously incredible, but they looked even more incredible than that in the match. I’m a little surprised Iyo won instead of Bianca, but that was a great sequence to give Iyo the win. Perhaps Bianca and Rhea split off to have their own feud on the road to Backlash, and who knows who Iyo faces in the meantime, but this is good stuff.
Priest VS McIntyre was an awesome Street Fight, though I’m surprised they didn’t go into the crowd. Maybe that’s for the better, we got that last night with Punk and Rollins in the Triple Threat. But as I figured, Drew wins because he kinda needs it most. Not sure where he goes from here, given where the championships have all ended up, but maybe Face-Heel dynamics won’t matter to Drew. And speaking of championships, great Fatal 4 Intercontinental Championship match. Of course Dom and Finn end up going after each other, but it is a touch surprising Dom turned on Finn. Granted, Finn was throwing that passive aggressive shade, so this is more like Dom standing up to Finn. Great sequence to finish and Dom winning is awesome stuff for him. I would think Dom VS Finn is an obvious feud going towards Backlash and another title match.
Joe Hendry being Randy Orton’s opponent was oddly not on the radar given all the speculation of Aleister Black, Rusev, and a few other possibilities, but it’s great for Hendry to make a WrestleMania debut. I did not think the match would be so quick, but when this is an obvious substitute for the planned Orton VS Kevin match, it does make some sense. Great win for Orton in that way, and of course he RKO’d Hendry a second time just for fun. Backlash being in St. Louis, it should be a given that Orton headlines that, maybe even for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
AJ Styles VS Logan Paul was good, but could’ve been better. Given both guys are so athletic, I’m surprised we didn’t try to make this more about who can fly higher, but it seemed to be more about combining the tech with the high spots. Well, that and testing if Styles can still bust out that aggression. Kross showing up to tempt Styles and Styles resisting was a fine beat, but a bit disappointing that that had to cost Styles for Logan to win. I fear that with Jey Uso as a new Face champion, Logan as the obvious Heel will challenge him for the next stretch.
Great women’s tag title match, and it makes a lot of sense for Becky to be the new tag partner. As I said yesterday, there’s great story for how NXT is going to go, with Lyra being friend to both Tatum and Becky and Tatum can be jealous of Becky. As for Liv & Raquel, they might want a rematch, they might have to deal with Bayley thinking it was them in the attack, who knows. This can also add to the Judgment Day story where Dom is now the only champion in the group, and he has to do his best to lead the group through encouraging Liv & Raquel.
That Stone Cold Steve Austin moment was fun, but then really awkward when he hit the barrier. I can kinda tell he maybe underestimated that turn in front of the desk. He was having fun, saying hey to commentary, and that essentially distracted him and caused the crash. Hopefully the fans there were okay. Seems rather silly they did that much just so Austin could announce the numbers for tonight and then give a “total” that isn’t accurate. Because duh, I would think the majority of the 61,461 or whatever it was came back for night two. So at best, they added another 2,000 people from last night.
And of course, the main event. As a match goes, it was purposefully not good, because of Cena’s line from weeks ago, how he’s going to “ruin wrestling.” I did like that Cena kinda tried to wrestle to stick it to the haters, but then he just resorted to a very Hulk Hogan “big muscular brawler” style. Travis Scott showing up is fitting, but a little disappointing The Rock didn’t make an appearance of any kind. But maybe that’s because fans wanted/expected that, and Cena’s also been about denying fans what they want… But ironically, plenty of fans wanted him to win 17 just for the intrigue, and here we are. Cody’s moment of hesitation costs him, Cena is champion again, and tomorrow night’s Raw is going to be a lot of fun.
