Karl Anderson tells “Grimey” that those Schism brothers are some serious stuff. This is a real fight on their hands. Grimes admits The Schism has been giving him some grief these past few months. But that’s alright, Grimes has the hottest tag team in the business! And so good looking! Complete heartthrobs. The OC has the buzz of the business, they’re just TOO SWEET! But why do you think they accepted Grimes’ offer? Cuz he has the PAPER~! MONEY MONEY MONEY! Gallows loves it! They love paper, and they would love to go #ToTheMoon! Will Big LG, the Machine Gun and the Carolina Caveman cut down that tree The Schism goes on about?

 

Backstage interview with Grayson Waller.

McKenzie notes Waller is going to face off with Apollo Crews at Halloween Havoc, but Waller is a bi toff his game. Why does she say that? Well, because last week- Right, last week, that wheel spun on its own! The tricks, the visions, end this weekend, because Waller already beat Apollo and Apollo hasn’t had a match since. Who’s really off their game there, huh, Kenz? Well, Waller blinded Apollo. Yes, with his star power! Waller said he is gonna run Apollo outta NXT because no one wants him here, Waller’s just brave enough to say it. And he has the talent to make it happen! Saturday caps off the worst comeback story in the WWE as Waller boots-

CHUCKY is on the TV?! He tells Waller that now that he’s wet his pants, maybe he should shut his trap and listen. Waller VS Apollo will be a Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal! Chucky, no, please! Waller- DON’T interrupt. But life is full of surprises. So many choices, from Ring of Fire to Buried Alive to Casket Match. Don’t fear the wheel, it’s your friend to the end, if you make it that long. Chucky laughs and Waller panics. What will fate decide for Waller’s grudge match with Aopllo?

 

Channing Lorenzo w/ Tony D’Angelo VS ???

Stacks has been letting The Don down, and that is not good for business. But in order for Stacks to prove himself, Tony has an… arrangement, if you will. Tony asks the fans how they’re doing. He says tonight is a big night, and Stacks’ eyes show he’s ready to throw down. Stacks looks strong! Tony asks for help into the ring. Stacks helps Tony given his bum leg, and Tony tells Stacks, “Before I introduce your opponent tonight, remember: this match is about earning respect, proving to everybody who you are. Are you ready?” He is! Who is it? He wants to know, huh? Everyone wants to know, huh? Allow Tony to introduce Stacks’ opponent… After the break! Stacks doesn’t like that, what’s The Don playing at?

NXT returns and Stacks is ready! His opponent… IS SHINSUKE NAKAMURA! The fans are fired up all over again to see the King of Strong Style make a return to the brand! But will Stacks be anything but thrilled about this?

Nakamura CLUBS the grip, has the armbar extended, but Stacks slips free and CLOBBERS Nakamura!

Fans boo as Stacks drags Nakamura up. Stacks wrenches and CLUBS the arm, runs but Nakamura dodges. Stacks ducks a kick but the WHEEL KICK gets him! Nakamura runs in to KINSHASA Stacks out of the ring! Nakamura goes out, fans sing his song, and Nakamura smirks at Tony. Nakamura puts Stacks in the ring, then slides in. Nakamura aims from the corner, unzips a bit, and Stacks eggs him on! So KINSHASA!! Cover, Nakamura wins!

Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura, by pinfall

The King of Strong Style wins big in his return to NXT, but Stacks gave him a run for his money! Did Stacks at least prove himself to The Don? Tony pats Stacks on the shoulder and says he has guts. Stacks is the cornerstone of the family and Tony is proud. Will Stacks’ future be bright after this showing against an icon like Nakamura?

 

Nathan Frazer and Axiom talk backstage.

They’re both impressed by each other after round three of their Best of 3 Series. Each move and counter was amazing, they brought the best out of each other. And Axiom will watch and cheer Frazer in that ladder match to win the North American Championship. Well thanks! Cheers, mate. But then Robert Stone & Von Wagner walk over. Stone tells Von, “Look who it is!” Two guys who made NXT history in a trilogy. And if you don’t believe Stone, just ask social media. But Von says it’s too bad you don’t get titles for being internet darlings. Those three instant classics will amount to nothing, as at Halloween Havoc, no one is stopping Von! Not Melo, the new guy, Wes, or even “soccer boy.”

Oh, soccer boy, huh? Well this soccer boy is gonna kick Von’s face in. Axiom has Frazer keep cool and save it for Saturday. Will it the British Prodigy who climbs to new heights? Or will this really be Wagner’s World?

 

Alba Fyre VS Sonya Deville w/ Toxic Attraction!

The former Forever Champion is ready to light it up at Halloween Havoc against the Toxic Goddess, but she has to get through the Jersey Devil first! Will Fyre burn Sonya for siding with Mandy Rose? Or will Sonya soften her up so she’s easy pickings?

NXT returns as Sonya makes her entrance, Gigi & Jacy of course in her corner. The bell rings and the two tie right up. Fans rally, Sonya puts Fyre in a corner and the ref counts.

Winner: Alba Fyre, by pinfall

But Jacy returns, only for Fyre to BOOT her! Fyre DECKS Gigi, but Sonya SPEARS Fyre! Sonya and Jacy mug Fyre, Gigi joins in, and Sonya gets Fyre’s bat! They hold Fyre in place, and here comes MANDY! The NXT Women’s Champion is back and she tells Fyre, “You made the wrong decision abducting me. Yeah, you got the title match, but not knowing if I’d ever see the light of day again. At Halloween Havoc, I’m fighting Fyre with fire. I’m gonna be more callous, more vicious, and more ruthless-” But as Mandy’s talking trash, Fyre fights off Toxic Attraction! Fyre snapmares free to CLUB Jacy with her bat! And then one for Sonya!

Mandy gets in with her belt, but Fyre backs her down with the bat! Mandy runs away again, and Fyre picks up the belt! Will Fyre be the one who is more callous, vicious and ruthless in this match that’s been a long time coming?

 

Wes Lee and Oro Mensah talk backstage.

The Must-See Kid thanks the Predator Killer for the assist last week. Oro says it’s no big thing, he’s sure Wes would’ve done the same thing for him. And it’s cool tagging with a former NXT Tag Team Champion. Man, c’mon, same thing back around as Oro’s a former NXT UK Tag Team Champion. But then Trick & Melo jump them! The brawl is on already! Will these four even make it to their actual match?!

Wait, they spill out from gorilla to the ramp! Refs rush out to stop this but that’s easier said than done! The teams are separated, and it looks like this one happens next, after the break!

 

Wes Lee & Oro Mensah VS Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams!

NXT returns and YEP, this match is happening now! Wes has Trick down with a headlock and fans rally, but Trick pulls hair. They roll, end up in ropes, but stand up. Trick throws body shots, powers out, pop-up HAYMAKER! Trick soaks up the cheers and jeers, he tags Melo, but Wes tags Oro! Oro springboards to MISSILE DROPKICK! Then he runs to RANA! Melo staggers, Trick sneaks a tag before the SCISSOR KICK! Oro springboards but Trick trips him up! rick slides in, runs in and LEAPING LARIATS!

Trick clinches, Oro fights free, but Trick blocks a kick. Trick flips Oro but Oro ROLLING KICKS! Both men are down, they crawl for their corners, hot tags to Melo and Wes! Wes rallies on Melo, shoots around and fires body shots! Wes backs Melo down, GAMANGIRIS in the corner, but he takes Oro out as collateral! BULLDOG and Wes fires up! Wes goes up top but the ref is busy with Oro. Trick SHOVES Wes down, but Oro runs over to DECK Trick! Then he LEAPS to CLOBBER Trick in front of commentary! Fans fire up, but Trick shoves Oro into the desk! Melo hits a CODE BREAKER on Wes! Melo goes up top, aims, THREE POINTER!! Cover, Melo & Trick win!

Winners: Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams, by pinfall

From sucker punches in the back to the divide ‘n’ conquer in the ring, Melo & Trick were always leading the score. And now they add insult to injury by beating down Oro more! They double whip buy Oro holds ropes to KICK back! Oro ROCKS Trick, Wes SUPERKICKS Melo! Then Wes & Oro DOUBLE LARIAT Trick and themselves up and out of the ring! But Melo FLIES out to take them both down! Another shot, another hit! But then Von BOOTS Melo! But Frazer appears up top to SUPER CROSSBODY Von! Fans are losing their minds as all six men are down ringside! Not including Trick, who will rise up to be the NEW North American Champion this Saturday?

 

The Schism speaks.

Joe Gacy tells Cameron Grimes, “For months, you’ve been running away from the open arms of The Schism, and yet in mere days, you ran right into the open arms of a club. HYPROCRISY is running rampant in NXT, and you are the poster boy, Cameron!” The Schism will not be stopped from tearing Grimes down! Gacy leads the Dyad to gorilla, will he lead them to victory? Or will their twisted sense of progress be halted by Grimes & The Good Brothers?

 

Backstage interview with Bron Breakker.

McKenzie notes that judging by the way things ended last week, Bron thinks Ilja Dragunov meant to hit him. Bron says Ilja started it, so he finished it. If Ilja wants to try again tonight, fine. Bron will Spear him in half again. Bron has two of the very best going after his title. He could go around them, or through them, and we know which choice he’ll make. Then what can we expect in a special edition of the KO Show tonight? Bron says Kevin Owens is someone Bron looks up to. Kevin did so much in NXT for the short amount of time he was here.

Bron has watched The KO Show from the first one to the biggest one with Stone Cold Steve Austin at WrestleMania. There’s always something awesome, and tonight won’t be any different. Will the Big Booty Nephew, The Czar or the Irish Ace be the one to throw the first punch?

 

Six Man Tag: Cameron Grimes & The Good Brothers VS The Schism!

The Carolina Caveman chose to be a loner, especially since it meant avoiding the creepy cult Joe Gacy created. But hypocrisy? Maybe Gacy should look in the mirror. Will Grimes and his new pals put The Schism in their place? Or will this be anything but Too Sweet tonight?

The trios sort out and Grimes steps up. Gacy does not, we get Jagger Reed instead. Grimes and Reed circle, tie up, Grimes gets a leg but Reed headlocks. Grimes powers out and drop toeholds to then float and headlock. Reed powers up and out, Grimes runs him over, and then things speed up. Grimes leaps over, Reed comes back but into a kitchen sink knee! Grimes runs to SLIDING BOOT! Reed scrambles away and Rip Fowler tags in. Grimes dodges Rip to throw body shots! Grimes KICKS Rip into a corner, KICKS more and more and more, then lets off at 4. Fans fire up as Grimes whips Rip corner to corner. But Reed is a bumper for Rip to come back and CLOBBER Grimes!

Rip drags Grimes up and tags Reed in. The Dyad stomp away on Grimes, then Reed looks to Gacy. Gacy wants in, but Grimes throws hands on Reed! Reed headlocks, Rip tags in, they do-si-do with Grimes and Grimes shoves Reed into Rip! Grimes then DOUBLE RANAS The Dyad! Fans fire up, Grimes dares Gacy to tag in, but Rip rams Grimes! Grimes brings him to the corner and Karl Anderson tags in! Karl bumps Rip off buckles, CHOPS him, then brings Rip around. Karl whips and CLOBBERS him to cover, ONE! Karl wrenches Rip, tags Gallows, and the Good Brothers mug Rip. Gallows throws hands on Rip! UPPERCUT!

Fans fire up as things break down! Karl clotheslines Gacy out, Grimes TOSSES Reed, and now the Good Brothers stand tall as NXT goes picture in picture!

The Schism regroups and cools off while the ref has Grimes and Gallows back down. But then Grimes & The Good Brothers go out to get at The Schism! The brawling continues in front of commentary! Grimes RAMS Reed into barriers! Fans fire up as Grimes storms after Reed, to back suplex! Gallows RAMS Rip into barriers, Karl DECKS Gacy, and then Gallows drags Gacy up.

Grimes puts Reed in but drags him out to refresh the count, and sends him into barriers again!

The Good Brothers and Grimes say, “TO THE MOON~!” and they RAM the Schism members into each other! Fans fire up and then Grime s& the Good Brothers put The Schism all in the ring. The ref has everyone sort out, but Gacy back suplexes Grimes! Grimes lands on his feet, only for The Dyad to rock him like a baby, into Gacy’s POWERBOMB!! The ref misses it all and the Good Brothers protest! Reed sucker punches Karl! And he sticks his tongue out at Gallows!

Backstage interview with Veer Mahaan.

McKenzie is pretty sure she is on the same page as the WWE Universe in wanting to know what Veer whispered to Sanga last week. Veer says, “Everyone wants to know everyone else’s business. But you, and the rest of the world, will not get an answer. What I said was just for my brother, Sanga’s ear, and no one else. For the rest of the world-” But then Sanga steps in! Sanga tells Veer that he is ready to listen. Veer knew he would be. They excuse themselves, but what is developing between the reunited Indus Sher?

 

A contract signing happens backstage.

The NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions, Kayden Carter & Katana Chance, make it official with their newest challengers, Zoey Stark & Nikkita Lyons. Lyons says this is the opportunity she and Stark have been wanting. And Stark adds that KC Squared don’t see them as a real tag team. But they’re gonna prove KC Squared wrong next week when they take the titles away. But Kayden tells the challengers that she and Katana have sat on that side of the table so many times, so they know what it’s like to think it’s their time and be wrong. Katana says it is real easy to be a team when you win. Let’s see what happens after a loss.

Lyons says next week, the better team will win. Kayden says yeah, and that’s the champs. KC Squared head out, but is it only a matter of time before the party is over?

 

NXT interviews Julius Creed and Damon Kemp via video.

As these two cannot be allowed near each other before their Ambulance Match at Halloween Havoc, they’re both in remote locations. Vic Joseph asks how Julius feels, knowing Brutus’ NXT career is on his shoulders this Saturday. Julius says the pressure is a privilege. Brutus’ career is on the line. From the first day Julius could pull himself up to look down at his little brother in the crib, he has watched over and protected Brutus. Yes, Julius is nervous, but their parents raised the Creed Brothers to believe those nerves could be used for good. Julius will use those nerves to crush the clown and send him to the hospital!

Oh, Kemp’s a clown? Yeah, you are, Damon, so shut up! Kemp’s done enough talking, and nothing he says now will matter. Julius has made peace with what he has to do to Kemp. Kemp jumped Roderick Strong, he handcuffed Julius to a cage, and he cost the Creeds the tag titles. Kemp wanted fame, but now his fame gets an expiration date. Is Julius done whining and complaining? Kemp says there is two sides to Julius: the world-class athlete, the former NXT Tag Team Champion; but you also have this arrogant loser who is jealous of Kemp! Jealous? Of what? Everything. No, Kemp is entitled, undisciplined, has been here five months and has nothing to show for it!

Kemp is a thirsty clout chaser unwilling to do the work himself. Oh, Julius is gonna get this work. It’s like talking to a robot! Dummy, on Saturday, this ain’t an amateur wrestling match, this isn’t an MMA fight, this is an Ambulance Match! You have to shut the door on your opponent. Hell, maybe Kemp will just hit Julius ten times like he did Brutus. Julius ain’t gonna just sit there and let it happen, he isn’t that stupid. There are weapons, which means Julius will use them, too. Julius is more vicious and more violent than Kemp, and it’s time for Kemp to come to grips with how Julius is better than him.

Julius was better in college, he won more matches in a month than Kemp did his entire career! Face the sad facts that Kemp peaked in high school. Kemp isn’t even the best in his own damn family! Kemp laughs that off, and asks Julius what happens to him when he loses to the “high school” athlete? C’mon, Captain America! Not enough milk? Didn’t get your morning workout in? Kemp walked in the Diamond Mine Dojo knowing he was better than the Creeds, and they knew it, too! Kemp proves it when he shuts the doors on Julius this Saturday. Julius says it won’t be a match, or even a fight. It’ll be the eradication of a cancer that’s plagued NXT the last five months.

At Halloween Havoc, no remorse, no sympathy. All Julius will feel is the handles of the ambulance doors as he close them. Julius storms off and Kemp says come Saturday, Brutus will be in the unemployment line cuz he’ll need a job! The Golden Gopher is ready to take on the Diamond Mine’s ace, will there be blood this Saturday?

 

Alicia Taylor introduces the host for Halloween Havoc 2022.

It’s SHOTZI!! The wild child is coming back to NXT, and so is her tank! Well, this is TCB Junior, but it and Shotzi are still gonna Take Care o’ Bidness! Fans fire up for Shotzi as she gets the mic. “Surprise~! HAHAHAHA!” Fans chant, “Welcome Home!” and Shotzi says, “If there is one WWE superstar that screams Halloween, it would be Shotzi, baby!” Fans agree with that, and Shotzi says she hosted Halloween Havoc in 2020, “and it was one of the most horrifyingly badass days of my life. So this Saturday, this Saturday, we’ve got to go even more balls to the wall! I get the final piece of my costume this Friday when Raquel and I win the WWE Tag titles off of Damage Control!”

And then…! Shotzi will make this year’s Halloween Havoc the “most terrifying extravaganza in NXT history!” Shotzi howls to the moon, but then Xyon Quinn makes his way out. Xyon welcomes Shotzi back, she is the perfect host ofr Halloween Havoc! BUT if we want Saturday to be box office, make him your co-host. And he knows what she’s thinking: How can someone like Xyon have the time of day to free up in order to do that? NO worries, Xyon will do that so that the X Factor can be part of the show! But wait, here comes QUINCY! Fans fire up for the Super Diva as he tells Shotzi, “Hey girl, hey~!” Quincy is a big fan of the ballsy girl who ain’t afraid of stepping on toes.

Shotzi, as much as Quincy would love to see Xyon in a costume, he’s not co-host material. Shotzi needs a scream queen. Shotzi needs to ride down to the ring with the SUPER DIVA~! Fans like the sound of that! Shotzi says she has a killer idea! Since these two are having a match right now anyway, let’s up the stakes! “Whoever wins gets the ghoulish glory of being my cohost! Let’s do the damn thing!” Fans like that, but Xyon is pissed! He swings on Quincy but gets a back drop for it! Then Quincy clotheslines Xyon out, to then back it up! Will Halloween Havoc get fabulous? We find out, after the break!

Halloween Havoc Co-Host Role: Quincy Elliot VS Xyon Quinn!

NXT returns and this match is already going as the two trade big hands. Xyon CLUBS Quincy, fireman’s carries, but Quincy’s a bit too much. Quincy runs into an elbow, and Xyon LARIATS! Cover, TWO! Shotzi is on commentary and she gives a howl. Xyon clamps onto Quincy with a cobra clutch but fans rally up. Quincy fights up, throws elbows and then haymakers! Fans rally as Quincy ROCKS Xyon over and over! Quincy whips, Xyon reverses but Quincy runs him over! And again! And then he runs through the lariat to FLYING ELBOW! Xyon goes to a corner, Quincy runs in and SPLASHES! Quincy then DECKS Xyon with a big right!

Xyon goes to a corner, Quincy runs in but Xyon BOOTS him down! Xyon grits his teeth, drags Quincy up, and Xyon tries to fireman’s carry again. Xyon gets Quincy up but then he crumbles underneath! Quincy runs to SPLASH but he flops! Xyon avoids the whammy but fans rally for Quincy. Xyon gets to ropes, he snarls and goes out the ring. Xyon grabs a chair, but HANK WALKER stops him! Fans cheer Hank on, so Xyon goes back to the ring, SPLASH! Quincy has the fans all fired up as he climbs up the corner! THIRST DROP! Cover, Quincy wins!

Winner: Quincy Elliot, by pinfall (cohosts Halloween Havoc with Shotzi Blackheart)

Xyon tried to cheat and it backfired! Now Quincy breaks it down with Shotzi, will he drop it like it’s hot this Saturday?

 

Thea Hail feels down.

She can’t believe she lost to Kiana James. She let Robert Stone distract her and let her guard down. Bodhi Hayward says it’s okay, Mr. Chase will get Thea a rematch. Is that true? Thea knows she can win, she can beat Kiana! Let her at her! Thea is shaking her desk and Chase calms her down. They’ll worry about that after class. But now, to their history lesson on Halloween Havoc. This special event dates all the way back to the late 1980s, with a lot of historic moments. Hulk Hogan VS Ric Flair for the World Heavyweight Championship inside a Steel Cage, DDP VS Goldberg, and even Mandy Rose starting her historic reign.

There was also Dexter Lumis VS Cameron Grimes in the Haunted House of Horrors, and Chase’s personal favorite, one of the earliest match-ups of Rey Mysterio VS Eddie Guerrero. But with the good comes the bad, such as the debut of The Yeti, who was really a mummy, and the Chamber of Horrors match. We’ll skip over that for now, as everyone’s homework is to watch this weekend’s Halloween Havoc. CHUCKY’S ON THE TV! This is the infamous Chase U? More like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. They wouldn’t recognize gruesome if it bit you in the ass.

Bodhi gets heated and tells Chucky, “You listen here, you SOB! This is Andre Chase University, and you do NOT interrupt Mr. Chase’s lecture!” Chase says Bodhi shouldn’t yell at Chucky. Chucky says if Bodhi wants to play, he’ll slash he beeping beep off and beep beep beep beep! Got it!? Now THAT is a teachable moment. Chucky scares the bejeezus out of everyone, and Thea says, “What the BEEEEP?!”

 

Another contract signing happens backstage.

This time, it’s the NXT Tag Team Champions, Pretty Deadly, and their challengers, Malik Blade & Edris Enofe. Elton Prince welcomes the gents, and hopes they take it all in. You never forget your first… title shot. Kit Wilson agrees, this is big. Malik & Edris impressed Pretty Deadly last week but it takes a whole lot more to take the titles from the TWO-TIME TWO-TIME NXT Tag Team Champions. Malik says when he and Edris first tagged together, it was their goal to shock the world. Next week, they do just that. SHOCK THE WORLD!

Edris says we already know what a day in the life of Pretty Deadly looks like. So enjoy the next seven, because next week, you’re looking at the NEW NXT Tag Team Champions! Edris & Malik have been bracket busters, will they be reign makers on what’s becoming a Tag Title Tuesday next week?

 

Pick Your Poison: Cora Jade VS Raquel Rodriguez!

We started with Roxie taking on Cora’s proxy, and now we get it the other way around! Will the Generation of Jade be ended right here at the hands of Big Mami Cool? Or can Cora somehow survive her other former tag partner?

NXT returns and Cora makes her entrance. The bell rings and the two circle. Raquel steps up but Cora scrambles away to a corner. Cora reclines on the top rope as Raquel backs off. The ref tells Cora to hop down and she does. Cora and Raquel circle, but Cora backs down. Cora talks trash but Raquel says Cora is squandering all the potential she saw in her. Cora kicks low, talks more trash, but Raquel smiles. Raquel BOOTS Cora down, then drags her up to whip corner to corner hard! Cora staggers, Raquel whips her the other way hard! Cora falls over and Raquel drags Cora up to scoop and SNAKE EYES!

Cora flounders out of the ring but Raquel pursues. Raquel puts Cora against the desk, and CHOPS her! Cora sputters, fans want that “ONE MORE TIME!” but Cora scrambles away. Raquel drags her back out of the ring, puts her against the desk, but Cora moves! The CHOP hits the desk! Raquel hurries in, Cora stomps away and hammers away on Raquel’s back! Cora snarls, fans boo, but Cora runs to DOUBLE STOMP! Raquel goes to a corner, Cora runs in, but Raquel CLOBBERS her! Raquel stands on Cora, “You didn’t need me, huh?!” Cora crawls for the corner, kicks Raquel away, and gets her kendo stick!

Raquel dares Cora to try it, so Cora swings! Raquel blocks the kendo stick, clamps onto Cora, but Cora SLAPS Raquel! Raquel has the kendo stick, and SMACKS Cora with it!!

Winner: Cora Jade, by disqualification

Raquel doesn’t care about the win or loss, she just SMACKS away on Cora! Cora bails out, Raquel dares her to come back, but Cora laughs. But Roxie CLOBBERS Cora! Fans fire up as these two brawl and Roxie puts Cora in the ring! Cora stands up, Raquel is there to keep her from running, and Roxie SUPERKICKS Cora down! Raquel hands Roxie the kendo stick, and Roxie swings! Cora runs away screaming! Raquel puts Roxie on her shoulders, will Roxie be the one still standing when it’s Weapons Wild?

 

There’s a mixer going on backstage.

“Big Body Javi,” Javier Bernal, talks himself up to Tatum Paxley, Valentina Feroz and a few other prospects, and the Schism’s Little Red Riding Hood passes by. Brooks Jensen has everyone calm down, the KO Show is coming on! Josh Briggs has Jensen cool down, he’s got a drink for him. Briggs wants to do a friendly bet of the over-under on how many times they’re gonna say “Halloween Havoc” during that one segment. Fallon thought it was a drinking game, drink when they say, “This Saturday.” Ah, good one, too. Jensen says bonus points for when Ilja does his arm thing. Yeah, the slapping thing? Or when JD creeps someone out, like this! Briggs gets real close to Jensen.

Indi Hartwell says that would be a lot, since JD is always creepy. BINGO! But then Ikemen Jiro comes in. They’re gonna drink? Yeah! Anytime something real stupid happens, bottoms up! But then in comes Sol Ruca doing a handstand walk! That’s awesome! Jiro is fired up! Everyone, gather ’round for the KO Show! YEAH~!

 

Kevin Owens heads to the ring!

Fans fire up to see the Prizefighter, another big return to NXT! Kevin says hey to Booker T and Vic on commentary, but he’s ready to host a special edition of the KO Show! Will Kevin be able to keep the peace between not just two but three combustible elements?

NXT returns as Bron makes his entrance. JD and Ilja are already in the ring and they’ve already taken their seats. Bron joins them and fans rally for “K O! K O!” Kevin welcomes us to this very special NXT edition of the Kevin Owens Show, and says he got a call from Shawn Michaels asking Kevin to host this show with the three men fighting for the NXT Championship on Saturday on Peacock. Peacock? Yes, Peacock. And considering HBK is the reason Kevin is a wrestler in the first place, he wasn’t gonna say no, so here he is. Fans cheer for HBK and Kevin says, “You’re welcome, Shawn.”

But believe it or not, he’s just here to keep the peace to make sure no one “wreaks havoc.” Get it? Halloween Havoc? Anyway, Kevin thought that was good. But to tell the truth, Kevin doesn’t like his odds. Someone in this ring has already been stirring the pot a bit and getting into the other guys’ heads. The guy doing that is nothing more than “a huge, creepy weirdo,” and that’s this guy! JD McDon’tGoogleMe! What’s his deal? Kevin is gonna scoot away… He needs a shower just looking at JD. JD says Kevin can say whatever he wants, because in four days, we’ll be calling him NXT Champion.

JD hasn’t been stirring the pot, he’s been on his best behavior since becoming #1 contender. If memory serves, JD wasn’t the one that laid out Bron last week, that was Ilja. And correct him if he’s wrong, but he didn’t Spear Ilja outta his boots, Bron did. So those two can keep pounding their chest and fight for the title of “toughest guy in NXT,” that’s fine. JD has his eyes on a different tie: THE NXT title, the one on Bron’s shoulder. Ilja says he was aiming for JD. But hitting Bron… well that wasn’t a mistake. Ilja stood over Bron’s prone body, and Bron struggled for air. In that moment, Ilja realized… Bron is human!

Ilja saw the chink in the armor of a great warrior! Bron is beatable! That bullet was meant for Bron at Worlds Collide, but this Saturday, Bron will feel it again! At Halloween Havoc, Ilja recaptures the title that he should have had in the first place! Fans cheer that! Bron shakes his head and says, “Over my dead body.” Bron felt that torpedo. Ilja’s the Czar of Europe. There hasn’t been anything a single opponent has been able to do to keep Ilja down. EXCEPT when Bron Speared his ass last week! And listen, Bron gets it. Ilja had to give up the UK title, that was unfortunate, he feels for Ilja. And from the look in Ilja’s eyes, he wants he title back. TOO DAMN BAD! Wanna friend? Get a dog!

As long as Bron is breathing, this title will be HIS! Fans bark it up for Bron but Kevin calms it down. He’s sorry to get between this, he appreciates the intensity and spirit of competition, but Kevin has something to tell them all. See, Kevin sees what’s going on. Maybe they don’t, but this guy, and he uses that term loosely, is trying to get it to where they tear each other apart so that he can waltz in and easily win that title. As a former NXT Champion, they can’t let that happen! Nobody wants JD as champion! Fans cheer that! Kevin means it when he says nobody! Not him, not any other former NXT Champion, not any of the fans! Fans cheer that, too!

Kevin even talked to JD’s mom! Even SHE doesn’t want him to be champion, and even she’s creeped out by JD. So Bron and Ilja have to make sure JD doesn’t win the title Saturday. JD wants to get something straight. He doesn’t need Kevin’s approval, or any of the fans’ approval. JD doesn’t need friends or dogs. All he needs is one opportunity, DEVLINSIDE, and then by the time Bron and Ilja wake up, JD’s already at his victory party. And Dragunov may have ran JD out of NXT UK, but he has spent every waking moment since thinking of how he could torture Dragunov’s soul. It hit JD recently that it isn’t the physical pain, but the mental anguish of seeing JD with the title that Dragunov will never recover from!

Kevin says this is the creepy part. Who talks like that? No one. JD’s so weird. Ilja agrees! And JD is the leech that hangs on every form of existence that sucks the life out of it! So it doesn’t matter if they’re on another continent, JD will always be a contender but never, EVER a champion! Fans cheer that, but Bron tells Ilja that he’s gonna end up in the same category. Oh, big talk considering the last Triple Threat Bron was in, he LOST. So then, why not try and put Ilja into that category right now?! Fans fire up as Ilja takes his jacket off. Bron is ready, JD gives them space, but Kevin tells HBK, “Sorry, buddy.” Kevin gives them room and gets out of the ring.

Ilja and Bron are ready, and they fire off forearms! Security rushes in to stop this, JD is amused as Bron and Ilja throw people aside! Bron ROCKS Ilja, then he SPEARS a security guard! TORPEDO MOSCOW! But then JD reels Ilja in, but gets a HEADBUTT! And a TORPEDO MOSCOW!! Fans fire up as Ilja holds up the belt! But then AUSTIN THEORY shows up!? The Youngest Mr. Money in the Bank Ever is back in NXT, does that briefcase count for this belt, too!? Ilja pays Theory no mind, but will he have no choice but to pay attention at Halloween Havoc?


My Thoughts:

A great go-home to Halloween Havoc, with a lot of great returns from RawDown stars to really hype this one up. I like that we got Pick Your Poison to sandwich the card, and fans really loved seeing Rhea and Raquel back. I had a feeling Rhea was going to beat Roxie, but I like that instead of cheating, Cora just pissed Raquel off into getting herself disqualified. And then Roxie going after Cora was a natural touch, and it obscures the go-home math. But I go back to Cora winning their first match, so I would think Roxie wins this one.

However, I’m really worried about the go-home math on a lot of these. Fyre VS Sonya was a good match, but Fyre stands tall both in the match and in the fight against Toxic Attraction. I have a feeling this means Mandy Rose keeps the title and continues her reign past one year. That’s fine for Mandy, and she’ll be second to Asuka in terms of a single title reign’s length, but I think that’s where it should end. Perhaps someone is about to rise up to take the title Mandy in time for her wedding and honeymoon.

And while The Kevin Owens Show closing segment was great, Dragunov standing tall doesn’t bode well for him. Theory showing up was a wild twist, and I wonder if this is a subtle way to say NXT, while still developmental, can be seen as part of the main roster with the MITB contract good for the NXT Championship as well as the WWE Universal Championship. A Triple Threat is just as wild a situation as the Last Man Standing match Theory tried to cash-in on before, I feel like he’ll end up missing his chance, too. And while Dragunov is the one everyone wants to see as champion, I feel like the only new champion we’re getting is JD.

We got some good contract signing promos backstage, and NXT is going to follow up Halloween Havoc with a BIG tag title match night next week. I can’t be sure the chances of the challengers taking the titles, but I feel like it’s more likely Lyons & Stark win than it is for Malik & Edris. Pretty Deadly really only just got their belts, and they need to build up a bit as champions again before losing. KC Squared, however, has been in NXT a long time, they’ve had their defenses, and they could go from NXT to RawDown to start in the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship chase to go against Damage Control. That is, unless Shotzi & Raquel actually do win.

Shotzi returning to NXT to host Halloween Havoc is a great move, fans love Shotzi and she really is perfect for the part. Great stakes added to Quincy VS Xyon, and Quincy is gonna bring some fun energy to Halloween Havoc. I almost thought Chucky was gonna do it again with all the appearances he had tonight, but it’s better to have a real person than a doll. Chucky did have good promos with Waller to set up how his match with Apollo will have a stipulation, and he had a great promo with Chase U to bring out the fire inside Bodhi and Thea. I still feel like Kiana James should get a male sidekick so we can get Chase and Bodhi in on the land grab angle.

Great match out of Nakamura VS Stacks, but of course Nakamura won. I bet Stacks is gonna get a bit of a push on the other side of Halloween Havoc with a new North American Champion being crowned. Great blending of segments for said title with Von running down Frazer and Axiom to Melo & Trick jumping Wes & Oro, and then that great tag match of Melo & Trick VS Wes & Oro. That chaotic bit of spots knocking everyone down helps muddy the math, but I would hope Wes Lee gets it. He’s been running strong, putting in great work, this would be the right time to give him a run to have a lot of fresh match-ups.

Great promo from Veer and Sanga, it is only a matter of time before Indus Sher returns to the NXT Tag Division to start where they left off. And a great Six Man Tag from Grimes & Good Brothers VS The Schism. I figured Grimes & The Good Brothers would win, they can’t hurt the return-push of Gallows & Anderson. But I can’t say this ends things between Grimes and The Schism until Grimes and Gacy can have it out 1v1 in some kind of wild match. Then and only then can they put this away and have one of them move on to something more. If it’s Grimes who wins, maybe Grimes gets one last shot at the top title. If Gacy wins, he moves on to the top title while Grimes goes to RawDown.

My Score: 8.7/10

World Tag League 2024 A Block: Alex Zayne & Ryusuke Taguchi VS Jeff Cobb & Callum Newman!

The Funky Sauce had a less than hot debut losing to Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji. And now, they’re running into the Imperial Unit & Prince of Pace, who are already setting a good pace with their win. Can Zayne & Taguchi heat things up? Or will they be conquered by The United Empire?

The teams sort out and Cobb calls out Taguchi’s hips. Zayne says oishi (tasty) but Cobb is pretty sure that’s not true. The debate on oishi or oishi janai continues, but we finally get Zayne and Callum starting. The fans rally up at the bell, and Callum circles with Zayne. They tie up, go around, and Zayne puts Callum on ropes. Zayne lets off cleanly and quickly and the two reset. They tie up, Callum puts Zayne on ropes now, and the ref counts.

The fans fire up and Taguchi brings Callum into a chinlock. Callum endures the knee in his back as Taguchi pulls on him.

Taguchi puts on a headscissors and he squeezes tight! Callum endures, fights around, and kicks his way over to the ROPEBREAK!

Both men fall and the fans rally up. Callum grits his teeth, rolls to the corner and tags in Cobb. Cobb storms up to stomp Taguchi, then he steps on Taguchi to step to Zayne.

Winners: Jeff Cobb & Callum Newman, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Zayne & Taguchi earn 0)

Another round and another win for The United Empire, but also another loss for Funky Sauce. Will these trends continue through the rest of the league? Or can Zayne & Taguchi turn things around before the end?

 

World Tag League 2024 A Block: Gabe Kidd & SANADA VS KENTA & Chase Owens!

No NJPW round robin tournament would be complete without Bullet Club VS Bullet Club! The Mad Man & Cold Skull lost to Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa, Fang Revived & Crown Jewel lost to Bishamon, so both teams are in a fighting mood. Which faction within the club comes out feeling Just Too Sweet?

Aw hell, Gabe & Sanada attack Kenta & Chase during their entrance! No mercy just because they’re all Bullet Club! Sanada brings Chase into the crowd while Gabe and Kenta brawl down the aisle! Gabe then brings Kenta around to another area. Chase whips but Sanada reverses and he BOWLS Chase into chairs! A strike for Sanada, but Kenta does the same to Gabe! Sanada JAMS Chase with a chair, then CLAWS his face! Gabe and Kenta brawl up into the bleachers! Gabe ROCKS Kenta, brings him to the railing at the back, and Sanada SMACKS Chase off more chairs. Gabe mockingly asks for Too Sweet but Kenta ROCKS him!

Gabe goes to another stairway and walks down but Kenta storms up behind him, Kenta CLUBS Gabe, and now Chase has Sanada way over in the back row of the opposite end! Chase can tell where Kenta and Gabe are because of the spotlights following them! Chase CLUBS Sanada, then leaves him behind to go help Kenta. Gabe CHOKES Kenta with a shirt! Gabe mockingly offers the Too Sweet, then cusses Kenta out. Gabe says, “We run this!” in reference to War Dogs over OG Bullet Club. But then Chase goes after Gabe! Sanada hurries to help Gabe and now the brawling is all in the same area! Kenta has Sanada now while Chase keeps after Gabe.

Things finally go back to the ground level and to ringside. Kenta ROCKS Sanada, but Sanada ROCKS Kenta! Gabe CHOKES Chase with a chair! Gabe storms around but Sanada does the same to Kenta on the other side. Chase CHOPS and fires forearms, but Gabe doesn’t flinch. So Chase CLAWS Gabe’s face! Sanada ROCKS Kenta, stalks him, and then Gabe SMACKS Chase with a chair! The Young Lions make sure fans are safely out of the way while Kenta CLAWS Sanada’s face. Gabe brings Chase to ringside and SMACKS him off the apron. Gabe then hurries to help Sanada as he BLINDSIDES Kenta!

Gabe and Kenta brawl now, and Gabe DECKS Kenta! Gabe & Sanada agree to go get Chase, but wait, where is he? Chase runs up from behind to CLOBBER them both!

Gabe & Sanada double suplex, but Chase fights it! Kenta’s back and he BOOTS Gabe! Sanada DROPKICKS Kenta! Chase runs up on Sanada. Sanada wrenches him, but Chase spins through. Sanada fights the suplex to MAGIC SCREW! Gabe is back and he brings Chase up. “I’m a Mad Man-” Chase wrenches out, ducks a lariat, and then spins Gabe, FINAL CUT! Cover, TWO! Gabe stays in this while Kenta and Sanada fight on the outside. Chase locks ‘n’ loads, runs up on Gabe, but Gabe blocks the C-Trigger! Chase fires forearms to get free, but Gabe ROCKS Chase! The ref reprimands about closed fists, but Chase rebounds!

Gabe dodges Chase and hits the COMEBACKER LARIAT! And then a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, Kenta breaks it! Kenta CLUBS Gabe, but Sanada CLAWS Kenta’s face! Sanada TOSSES Kenta out and Gabe brings Chase up. Gabe then pushes Chase over, because he says this is for Kenny Omega! Gabe aims a finger gun at Chase! “Good bye, and F YOU, Kenny!!” Gabe runs up to V-TRIGGER!! Then a PILEDRIVER!! Cover, War Dogs win!!

Winners: Gabe Kidd & Sanada, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Kenta & Chase earn 0)

The War Dogs struck first and never let up, and now they win to break even. Wait, as Kenta & Chase are helped away, and even as Sanada heads out, Gabe sits cross-legged while he has the mic. “Let me be very effin’ clear. You crossed the line as soon as you ran to Tokyo Sports and started calling me all this s*it. Unprofessional, all this s*it. Let me make this very effin’ clear! You said you wanted, you said the fans wanted, I said it before: I don’t give a F what anyone wants but me! And I wanna end your career! So iitengo (January 5th), Gabe Kidd, Kenny Omega, LET’S EFFIN’ GO!!”

The fans are fired up to hear WrestleDynasty now has a massive crossover match added! But will Gabe keep making this about The Best Bout Machine until it comes back to bite him? Or is that just the motivation he needs so he and Sanada can take the trophies?

The Roughneck & Everyone’s Kokeshi had a rough opening round with their loss, but The Front Man & The Mullet had a mighty main event win.

World Tag League 2024 A Block: Bishamon VS Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji!

Hirooki Goto & Yoshi-Hashi made it Lights Out last round against Kenta & Chase Owens while The Rampaging Dragon & Gene Blast were tranquilo against Funky Sauce. Only one team can stay spotless, can the Fierce Warrior & Headhunter slay these twin dragons? Or will Los Ingobernables de Japon be that much closer to the trophies?

The teams sort out and after LIJ fist bumps, Yota calls out Goto. Goto accepts and the fans rally as the bell rings. Goto and Yota circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock.

Takagi hauls Hashi up to RAM him into the corner again and again. Takagi stomps Hashi, whips him to ropes, then KNEES him! Takagi suplexes high and hard! The fans applaud while Takagi keeps his eyes on Goto. Takagi goes to Hashi, sits him up, and rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS!

Takagi pump handles and torture racks, but ITADAKIGARI!! Cover, BISHAMON WINS!!!

Winners: Bishamon, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Takagi & Yota earn 0)

A sudden turnaround, but it can’t be called an upset with how Goto & Hashi have been World Tag League winners and IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions besides! But if this is how hard Takagi & Tsuji fought, yet they still fell short, how much harder must they fight to be on top of the block?

As for Bishamon, Hashi has the mic first. “Last year, Bishamon made history be becoming the first-ever IWGP Tag Team Champions to win this league. We also achieved the first-ever threepeat. This year, we’re looking to go undefeated!” The fans cheer that lofty goal, and even chant for “BI-SHA-MON! BI-SHA-MON!” Hashi says then, in Kumamoto, when they win their FOURTH STRAIGHT tournament, “We’ll show you our happiest Zanmai celebration ever.” The fans are certainly intrigued by that. Hashi says Bishamon’s four-peat will come in the blink of an eye!

With that mic drop, the mission is clear! No need to #GetBackUp when you’re still riding high, but will Goto & Hashi continue to add to their historic achievements? Or will a team come along to ruin it all?

 

Here are the NEW A Block standings!

Jeff Cobb & Callum Newman: 2-0, 4 points
Bishamon: 2-0, 4 points
Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji: 1-1, 2 points
Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa: 1-1, 2 points
Gabe Kidd & Sanada: 1-1, 2 points
Shota Umino & Tomoaki Honma: 1-1, 2 points
Kenta & Chase Owens: 0-2, 0 points
Alex Zayne & Ryusuke Taguchi: 0-2, 0 points


My Thoughts:

A great event for WTL A Block, but I hope there won’t be any more delays in the On Demand upload, there’s too much to do on a Friday to wait on this. Anyway, I had a bad feeling Funky Sauce would lose again, but they had a strong showing against Callum & Cobb. Great brawl between Gabe & Sanada with Kenta & Chase. But considering Gabe is building towards that match with Kenny Omega, good win for him and Sanada, and then good promo from Gabe to call Omega out. This all probably takes Gabe & Sanada out of the running for the finals, because they can play up how Gabe is too distracted by wanting after Omega.

Great match from Shota & Honma VS ZSJ & Oiwa, but this match also proved me right from earlier. This was just a formality to make ZSJ VS Shota for the world title official. Shota gets the upset win on ZSJ and now that is Shota’s path to WrestleKingdom. But Bishamon VS LIJ was awesome stuff, and what a great win for Goto & Hashi. Goto & Hashi are definitely set up to make another run at the trophies, but I’m still not sure of their chances of winning. The threepeat was pretty surprising as it was, but a four-peat would be wild.

My Score: 9/10

Rampage returns and…

Lexy Nair welcomes us back, while also welcoming us to the official Full Gear Zero Hour weigh-in. Please welcome first, QT Marshall! The fans boo as QT makes his return to AEW TV, and he shows off the “DOOM” logo on his track jacket. QT steps into the ring and now Lexy welcomes out Big Justice and Big Boom AJ! The fans cheer as the Costco Guys are here, giving out high-fives and fist bumps! QT is already annoyed but Lexy says before we get started, do either of them have something to say? QT steps up to say yes, he does! Enough with the “Boom,” first off! Tomorrow night, QT brings the doom!

QT told AJ 20 years ago that he didn’t have it. 20 years later, AJ still doesn’t have it! The fans boo but AJ just shrugs that off. AJ tells QT that QT’s been waiting those 20 years to get AJ in the ring. But AJ’s been waiting ever since QT tossed those double chunk chocolate cookies! The fans cheer that! But AJ says hold on, hold on. He’s got a special surprise for us. He wants someone real special to be at Full Gear to ring the bell when AJ rings QT’s bell and he Power-Booms QT through this ring. QT asks who. AJ says there’s only one guy that can be. They scratch their chins, and yes, it’ll be THE RIZZLER!!

QT is seething but the fans love it! QT gets to business by taking off the jacket and the sweatpants. QT steps on the scale, flexes, and we get the numbers on the tron: 229 pounds flat for QT! QT is all fired up, he’s bringing that heavyweight build. The fans fire up for AJ, “Bring the Boom! Bring the Boom!” Wait, what? 550?! AJ’s big but not THAT big. QT says this must be why he’s Big Boom AJ. Maybe he should laugh off the double chunk chocolate cookies. Big Justice steps up! And he says we all know QT rigged the scale! Right? Right? But see, that won’t matter when his dad brings that BOOM on Saturday night! Is QT ready?

QT steps up but AJ gets in QT’s way. QT takes a swing! AJ ROCKS QT first! AJ makes sure Big Justice is okay, but then QT hits the DIAMOND CUTTER! The fans boo but QT says that’s gonna be the DOOM! Will QT not care who or what Big Boom AJ brings to Full Gear? Or will he slammed on the mat for The Rizzler?

 

AEW takes a closer look at the AEW World Tag Team Championship Fatal 4 Way.

Malakai Black says, “Eight men, four destinies intertwined.” Anthony Bowens recaps: The Acclaimed, Kings of the Black Throne, Outrunners, and Private Party, fighting for the titles. Marq Quen says he and Zay worked SO damn hard for these titles. But The Outrunners are hard as a rock! Malakai says The House has a “trigger full of promises to deliver.” Bowens says they have everyone’s number, but The Outrunners feel they have nothing to lose! Malakai & Brody say come one, come all, for all shall perish! Zay promises he & Quen will do whatever it takes to leave Full Gear still your AEW World Tag Team Champions, and that’s a flex.

 

Juice Robinson VS The Butcher!

While everyone else, such as the Bang Bang Gang’s fearless leader, Jay White, gears up for Full Gear, Rock Hard Robinson is just looking to get a win. Butcher almost shoves him off the apron, will Butcher cause this Collision Cowboy to go off the rails? Or will it be Guns Up for the Reading, Pennsylvania Gold Members?

The bell rings and Juice ties up with Butcher. They’re in a deadlock and quickly go to the mat. They also quickly get back up, and Juice powers Butcher to a corner. The ref counts, they go along ropes, in a corner, then along more ropes. Butcher has Juice on the ropes but he lets off with a scuffing forearm. Juice has wild eyes to go with his wild hair, and he shoots in to headlock. Butcher powers up and out, they RAM shoulders, and Butcher doesn’t budge. Butcher eggs Juice on, but Juice grins. Juice stomps Butcher’s foot! Juice headlocks but Butcher fires body shots. Butcher powers up and out but Juice RAMS him!

Butcher rebounds to CLOBBER Juice! Things keep moving, Juice drops then hurdles, then he goes to hip toss. Butcher blocks to body shot and LARIAT! The fans fire up while Butcher stalks Juice to a corner. Butcher stands Juice up to CHOP! The fans “WOO~” and then Butcher climbs up. Butcher says count along, but then Juice sips out before he even starts! Juice trips Butcher up, then climbs, and now fans get to count! Juice rains down fists all the way to nine, then winds up, to BITE Butcher for ten! But then Butcher DUMPS Juice to the floor! Butcher storms out after Juice to RAILING BACK SUPLEX!

Juice writhes more but Butcher drags him back up. Butcher throws Juice into the apron while Rampage goes picture in picture.

Butcher LARIATS Juice against the apron, pushes him into the ring, then stalks him to another corner. Butcher runs up to LARIAT! Juice staggers and Butcher scoops him for a BACKBREAKER! Juice writhes, Butcher runs, and he drops a leg, brother! Cover, TWO! Juice stays in this but Butcher drags him up. Butcher ROCKS Juice in the back!  Butcher then stands Juice up, shoves him to ropes, and ROCKS him again! Juice drops to his knees but Butcher drags him around into a chinlock. Juice endures, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Butcher lets go to stomp away on Juice! Butcher then clamps onto Juice with a dragon sleeper!

Juice endures as Butcher bends him. Juice fights up, powers up, and ROCKS Butcher! And ROCKS him! And hits a JAWBREAKER! Juice whips, Butcher reverses and ELBOWS him down! Butcher stalks Juice to ropes, stands on Juice’s face, but the ref counts. Butcher steps away, then drags Juice up. Butcher ROCKS Juice, but Juice shakes his head. Butcher ROCKS Juice in the back again, and Juice drops to his knees as Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns as Butcher runs up, only for Juice to BOOT him! Juice then dodges Butcher, atomic drops and roars! Juice HEADBUTTS Butcher to the corner, but Butcher snarls! Butcher runs up, into a LEG LARIAT! Juice grits his teeth and the fans fire up. Juice pumps up, takes aim, and he JABS! JABS! JABS! Juice roars, and Butcher falls for the left hand feint! DDT! Juice adds a SENTON, then covers, TWO! Butcher is tough but Juice grins. The fans rally up and Juice watches Butcher go to a corner. Juice runs up to LARIAT! Juice calls his shot, goes corner to corner, and back again, but Butcher throws him back! LARIAT!! Cover, TWO!!

The fans fire up but Butcher is furious! Butcher drags Juice up, reels him in, and hits a BIG back suplex, only for Juice to land out! Roll up, with a bridge! TWO, and Juice hurries away. Butcher rises, runs up, but Juice drop toeholds him into buckles! Juice gets moving, CANNONBALL! The fans fire up with Juice and Juice pumps up. Butcher rises, into the JAB! JAB! JAB! LEFT HAND O’- NO, Butcher slips around, half nelson, BACKBREAKER! And then JACKHAMMER! Cover, TWO!! Juice survives and Butcher is furious! Butcher drags Juice up, calls his shot, and suplexes, but Juice fights that off!

Juice slips free to LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Juice powers up, another LEFT HAND O’ GOD!! The fans fire up again as Juice brings Butcher up. JUICE IS LOOSE!! Cover, Juice wins!

Winner: Juice Robinson, by pinfall

And that’s one for Bullet Club Gold! Will Jay White look to do just as much damage to Hangman Page? Or will the Blackhat Cowboy still be number one with a bullet?

 

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!

There will be no Friday Night Rampage next week, because it will be a BACK-TO-BACK Rampage & Collision Saturday night! Make sure your DVR is ready for three hours of AEW action!

 

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa.

Lexy is with La Mera Mera and brings up how next week will be an ALL LUCHA Rampage. That must be exciting. Rosa is beyond excitement! It is about time they get some lucha libre to spice up Rampage. Atlantis Jr, Hechicero, and the return of Mystico! C’mon, now! Well what about Rosa? Yes, what about Rosa? Rosa hasn’t had a true lucha match in awhile, but why not? An open challenge for any luchadora or female wrestler that wants after La Mera Mera! In steps Harley Cameron, wearing a Hologram mask, and putting on a robot voice. “Greetings. I am famed luchadora, Harley-gram, the female counterpart to Hologram.”

Rosa is trying not to laugh as “Harley-gram” officially accepts the open challenge. Rosa tells Harley-gram that she looks familiar. Like a certain someone she beat two weeks ago. Does not compute with Harley-gram. Okay, fine. Compute this: Next week, Rosa will yank her cord and shut her down! OH SHUT UP! What? Uh… Danger! Danger, Will Robinson! Danger! “Harley-gram” runs off and Rosa asks if this is really happening. Rosa sighs, but will she just have to reboot Harley back to factory settings?

 

Ricochet speaks.

“I have had my eyes on the International title since I debuted in AEW. And Takeshita has cost me my chance at becoming International Champion on more than one occasion. I was the last person to pin the International Champion, and I plan on doing it one more time, at Full Gear. At Full Gear, Takeshita finds out what the world already knows: That Ricochet is not from here. Ricochet is outta this world!” The King of Flight is determined to dethrone The Alpha. Will Ricochet become The One & Only International Champion?

 

BREAKING NEWS for the Full Gear Zero Hour!

Anna Jay lost last week in her last chance championship match, but she also rejected the offer of The Vendetta. Now Deonna Purrazzo is looking to teach Anna why that was a mistake. Will The Virtuosa make sure Anna’s never The Star of the Show? Or will she learn why Anna’s still The Queenslayer? Then, we see Dante Martin, The Beast Mortos, Komander and Buddy Matthews compete in what will surely be a fast and furious Fatal 4 Way! Who wins some big momentum, and possibly a spot in the Continental Classic?

 

Six Man Tag: The Conglomeration VS The Dark Order!

While Tomohiro Ishii is aiming for the ROH World Championship next Wednesday on Thanksgiving Eve, he, Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero don’t mind building up momentum in the Trios Division. Will the Stone Pitbull, Sussex County Chicken & Azucar be rolling towards titles? Or can Evil Uno, Alex Reynolds & John Silver remind everyone that The Dark Order is good enough?

The trios sort out and Mark starts against Silver. The two shake hands, and the fans cheer on “Johnny Hungy!” Silver and Mark tie up, go around, and Silver headlocks.

A great battle from these factions, but it is Strong Style that wins out! Will this happen again when Ishii goes 1v1 with The Learning Tree? Or will Chris Jericho make sure the Age of Nueve lasts forever and ever?


My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here for the go-home to Full Gear, but it was definitely just a go-home. They’re even ending with the November Rain music video from last Saturday as I type this. Good promo from Ricochet to hype up his match with Takeshita, but that’s still a toss-up to me. A part of me does want Ricochet to have the International Champion so Takeshita can enter the Continental Classic and go after Okada like he was supposed to do just a month ago. It really depends on what the Don Callis Family story is going to be with Ospreay and Fletcher, as The Don Callis Family isn’t losing everything at Full Gear.

Great opening tag of Mariah & Mina VS Nyla & Harley, though I really thought that was going to be the main event. But at the same time, of course Mariah & Mina won. No tease for anything at Full Gear so maybe they’ll wait to surprise us with Toni Storm or something tomorrow. Harley becoming “Harley-gram” just to get a rematch with Rosa was hilarious stuff, as does that “All Lucha Rampage” episode they’re hyping up. But oh look, next week is back-to-back Rampage and Collision on a Saturday just to try and undercut Survivor Series. It won’t matter, I’m still watching WarGames and leaving AEW for after, but it’s nice of them to do everything on one night.

Very good filler match of Juice VS Butcher, that was a strong return to singles action for Juice. Very nice Zero Hour matches but I kinda wish they’d given us a segment on TV to set up Deonna VS Anna rather than just announcing it. Maybe there was something social media had but I’m still not someone who follows all the socials. And that Fatal 4 Way is awesome, can’t wait to see who comes out of that a winner. Good promo overall from Big Boom AJ and QT Marshall, but I’m not sure it needed to be a weigh-in. A press conference style segment would’ve been fine, or even a contract signing, but I guess they just wanted to set up QT’s “lay off the cookies” joke. QT stands tall with his cutter taking down AJ, so you can bet AJ dooms QT in the Zero Hour.

Also great Six Man Tag main event, though I don’t think I’ve ever seen a main event without entrances. Great win for Conglomeration, though, but yeah, Ishii sure ain’t winning the ROH World Championship.

My Score: 8.8/10
