Ilja Dragunov speaks.
“My opportunity to fill the void in my soul that has been there for over three months. I was a fraction of a second away, so close, but yet so far. JD McDonagh stole my destiny. JD McDonah enjoys manipulating my reality. When he was in NXT UK, he was a cancer and a threat until I removed him. NOBODY is safe. Not myself, not Bron Breakker nobody, until he is removed again. And tonight, The Czar will eliminate JD McDonagh once and for all!” Will UNBESIEGBAR avenge himself and protect the future of NXT from the Necessary Evil?
An eerie figure walks in the shadows.
“This second coming isn’t about retribution. It’s about justice.” Then whose justice will be served?
Wes Lee heads to the ring!
The Must-See Kid is the NEW North American Champion and the fans are here for it! Wes gets the mic and fans chant, “You Deserve It!” Wes thanks them for that, and says he’s gonna get emotional again. Just hold on now. “I just wanted to come out here to thank you all for Saturday night. Never did I think I would make it to the WWE, let alone be a champion. And for damn sure, not be one on my own.” Fans cheer, and Wes says, “But the faith and the confidence of everyone here in NXT inspired and motivated me, especially when I was lost in the dark.” Fans cheer that, too!
“Winning this title gave me a sense of validation I have been searching for my entire life. That I belong. Like, there is a place for me. That I am loved for who I am and what I stand for, and for that, I am forever, forever grateful, y’all.” Fans cheer and Wes wants them to hold on again. When he was on top of that ladder and they all chanted he deserved it, that is a feeling that is indescribable. All he can say is thanks. “But look, in all honesty, we don’t deserve the love you all share for us all the time.” Fans chant, “Yes You Do!” Wes says to go with that, he will make sure to continue to exceed- Grayson Waller is here?
Waller tells Wes, “Stop sucking up, lad. You don’t deserve a thing and neither do they. I’m glad you had a good Saturday, cuz I didn’t. I Hate Halloween, it is a stupid, made up holiday.” Wes tells Waller he can’t come out here to rain on a parade cuz he lost. Oh, you think he lost? Sure, Apollo Crews rolled Waller into an inanimate object, but Waller won! What did Wes do? He climbed a ladder! Waller climbs a ladder at Home Depot and gets nothing. As far as Waller is concerned, he’s still up 1-0 on Apollo. But wait! R-TRUTH is here?! Truth has the fans say, “What’s up?” Truth is in a Joker costume as he joins Wes and Waller in the ring.
“Orlando, Florida, make some noise! WHAT’S UP!?” Truth says the mask got him a bit ashy, but ladies and gentlemen, ghouls ‘n’ goblins, welcome to HALLOWEEN HAVOC! Uh, Truth… Uh… But Truth says if you’re all ready for the spookiest night of the year- Waller speaks up. “What’re you doing?” Fans boo but Truth says, “Wait a minute, y’all. Dawg, that’s cool, man. You coming with that British accent!” Fans chant “British Accent!” at Waller, and Truth does his best Brit: “Are you excited about Halloween Havoc, mate? Excuse me, gov’nah.” Waller says news flash: He’s AUSTRALIAN! And Halloween Havoc was THREE DAYS AGO!
Fans boo but Truth laughs. He thinks Waller is tricking him. But Wes admits, it did happen. Wes won the title there. OH SNAP! Congrats! And Truth says, “My bad.” Truth asks how Waller did. Fans chant, “HE LOST! HE LOST!” Wes confirms, Waller lost in a casket match. Oh… Truth ain’t mad, Apollo Crews is nice. He is. But Waller was in the casket by himself? No spiders? It must’ve been dark. Truth would’ve been scared. Waller says he wasn’t scared, he just got rolled. Waller rolled one up? YEAAAH~! Truth’s gonna hang out in NXT more. NO! Waller would love nothing more than to beat Truth in his own house!
But Waller’s mind not in it. He’ll give Truth a week. then we can see what the Grayson Waller Effect really is. That is, if Truth can figure out the right day on the calendar. Oh, what good hospitality. On second thought… Waller takes a swing, but gets pinballed by Wes and Truth! Then Truth hits a CALF KICK! Truth TOSSES Waller and says, “I’ll see you next week! Happy Halloween!” But with next week being November 1st, will there be any treats left over? Or only tricks from the 21st Century Success Story?
Malik Blade & Edris Enofe speak backstage.
Malik admits he’s nervous. This is the biggest night of their careers! They can become champions! Edris says he’s nervous, too, but he knows they’ve got more than a shot. Pretty Deadly will bring it, but tonight, it is THEIR night! If Malik had one shot, one opportunity to seize everything you’ve ever wanted, would you capture it? Or just let it slip away? Is Enofe seriously spitting Eminem right now? Man, he’s just trying to get Malik ready! They’ve been day one! And that’s all they need! This is the time! They’ll get the titles and SHOCK THE WORLD! Will the
Quincy Elliot is in the ring!
“Ladies and gentlemen, give it up for everybody’s favorite scream queen, SHOTZI~!” And with that, the wild child and TCB Jr. ride on out! Shotzi’s ready to take care o’ bidness, will Lash learn when to not lash out?
Backstage interview with Apollo Crews.
McKenzie asks him after that big win on Saturday, is it safe to say that Waller is in his rearview? Yes, he is Truth’s problem now. But in all seriousness, Waller is annoying but very talented. Apollo knew the moment he shut Waller in the casket and shut Waller’s mouth that he could move on to what his original focus was. That is becoming THE NXT Champion! His first go, he never got to hold that title. Credit to Waller for taking Apollo off course, but now Apollo’s vision is clear! Apollo’s eyes and ears are locked in next week, because he heard…Â Maybe this is a spoiler, but Bron will return next week, and Apollo will be very interested in what he has to say. Will Apollo’s future be him holding some gold?
Shotzi Blackheart w/ Quincy Elliot VS Lash Legend!
NXT returns and Lash makes her entrance. The bell rings, Shotzi dodges Lash and waistlocks, but Lash knees free. Lash throws more knees, TOSSES Shotzi across the way, then storms up to drag her up. Lash tosses Shotzi up and out to the apron, but then she soaks up the heat. Shotzi blocks Lash’s forearm to KICK her away! Shotzi gets in to dropkick the legs out, then drop toeholds. Lash stays up to stomp Shotzi down! Lash drags Shotzi up, scoops her but Shotzi slips out! Shotzi kicks Lash, BOOTS her from the corner, then goes up to bring her into a HANGING HEADSCISSOR! Fans howl as Shotzi lets go and goes back up top.
But Lash BOOTS Shotzi down! Shotzi hits the floor and Quincy check son her. Lash storms out, tells Quincy to back off, but he blows a kiss and drops it like it’s hot. Lash says nuh-uh, but Shotzi fires off hands! Lash and Shotzi scrap, Shotzi puts Lash in and hurries after her. Shotzi brings Lash up but Lash scoops to SLAM her! Lash stalks Shotzi to ropes, drags her around and wraps a leg around ropes! The ref counts, but Lash stomps the leg! Lash kicks Shotzi and she’s in a Tree of Woe situation! Shotzi frees herself but Lash drags her to a cover, TWO! Lash gets the bad leg for a STRETCH MUFFLER!
Fans rally as Shotzi endures and sits up! Shotzi throws down fists, then gets the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Lash doesn’t let go so Shotzi HOTSHOTS her! And BOOTS her! Shotzi goes to a corner, Lash blocks the boot but not the uppercut! Shotzi runs but Lash RAMS her into the corner! Lash puts Shotzi up top but Shotzi CLUBS Lash right down! Shotzi fires forearms, then fisherman’s a leg, NEVER WAKE UP! Cover, Shotzi wins!
Winner: Shotiz Blackheart, by pinfall
The Super Diva celebrates with the real scream queen, and Lash is silenced, for now. Will this win help Shotzi get up towards some kind of title in the Women’s Division?
Five Minute Time Limit: Brutus Creed w/ Julius Creed VS Damon Kemp!
With the big win on Saturday, Julius kept Diamond Mine together, and he kept his brother here on NXT. And now, Brutus looks to get some semblance of revenge for himself as he gets the Golden Gopher for one quick round. Will Kemp even last five minutes given all the damage done at Halloween Havoc?
Before the match, the Creeds have mics. Julius says they need to bear with him. His hands are all jacked up from that Ambulance match. But even Sunday was hard, getting up in all that pain. But it wouldn’t have compared had Julius lost and cost Brutus his career. Kemp learned that short term decisions have long term consequences. Juilus wrote the sentence but Brutus is going to punctuate it. Brutus says he can’t thank Julius enough for what he did. But Brutus will say, “Thank you, brother. Love you.” But now it’s HIS turn! Brutus tells Kemp that he promised them five minutes, so Kemp needs to get his ass out here so Brutus can beat it and finish what Kemp started!
But Kemp is on the tron! “Are you two dummies still angry? Julius, you got lucky. And Brutus, I got good news for ya. Medical spared you from getting pieced up tonight. I’m not medically cleared. But don’t worry, though. I still got five minutes of hell still waiting for ya. See you then.” Fans boo but Brutus tells Kemp that every day he has to wait, the ass whooping will get worse and worse and worse! Because it is Diamond Mine FOREVER! But then VEER & SANGA attack?! They beat down the Creeds, and fans boo! Sanga seems torn as Veer tells him to do it, but Sanga hesitates. so the MILLION DOLLAR LARIAT takes Julius out!
Sanga keep son Brutus, and then he follows through with the CHOKE SLAM!! Fans boo but Indus Sher IS back! And well dressed, at that. Ivy Nile storms out and asks them why, but the damage is done. Will these stylish assassins destroy the whole NXT Tag Team Division?
Pretty Deadly talk backstage.
Elton Prince takes a deep breath and says they need to concentrate. Tonight’s gonna be tough. Kit Wilson says “they” are fast. Elton agrees, those two are like cheetahs running full speed on the Serengeti. And they’re confident! That’s also a problem. But look who they’ve beaten. They’ve taken out every other team in NXT. In Kit’s opinion, they’re the two most athletic guys on the roster. Elton says they’re loved by everyone, too! Total sweethearts and fan favorites. Wait, shouldn’t they be talking about Edris & Malik? NAH! HAHAHA! They were talking about themselves because Malik & Edris have NO shot! Those two couldn’t even lace up Pretty Deadly’s fabulous boots!
The champions set to head out, but then SIDE PLATE CHECK~! Okay, now they’re ready. Will that confidence see Kit & Elton through? Or will it get them caught by the bracket busting underdogs?
Toxic Attraction FaceTimes each other.
Jacy Jayne is in the weight room while Gigi Dolin chills by the pool. Gigi calls Mandy Rose and she asks what everyone’s up to. Gigi says ,”What’s up, champ?” Gigi is getting her tan on, that Vitamin D. Where’s Jacy? She was going to meet Gigi but she’s at the gym. Jacy conference calls in and yes, she’s working out. Jacy getting jacked. Well, she tries. She’s getting buff so the zombies don’t get her? Uh, if Jacy remembers right, Gigi was the one that got stuck in a freezer. Well, be grateful they all got out alive and with Mandy’s title. They beat Alba Fyre at her own game, and karma at its finest. And Gigi hopes Jacy is bringing the cheese and wine.
Wow, thanks for the invite, girls. Uh, Mandy, you said you had a photoshoot. Oh right, she does. The champ is in demand, but so is Toxic Attraction. Mandy says next week, they’re celebrating Mandy’s one year anniversary! You better be ready, because as long as they hold the title, there’s Toxic Attraction, and then there’s everyone else. Just how big will the Toxic Goddess exalt herself and her historic accomplishment?

Former NXT UK Tag Team Champions, TWO-TIME NXT Tag Team Champions, and the team that unified those titles at World Collide, it is needless to say Kit & Elton have egos as big as the Atlantic Ocean.

JD McDonagh speaks.
“I nearly didn’t get out of bed on Sunday morning. Because I wasn’t the NXT Champion. But neither was Ilja Dragunov. So it’s not all bad news, right? And Ilja describes me as a cancer. But he’s the one reoccurring for me. Spreading everywhere I go, like a malignant little growth in the back of my mind. I get called a lot of things, but there’s on nickname that I got recently that I rather like: The Necessary Evil. Because there is a necessary evil, a devil inside me, that I can access that others shy away from.” Ilja’s face on Saturday was priceless.
But there’s another expression JD wants tonight: a look of pain because he won’t be leaving this building on his own strength. Ilja will be incapacitated and damaged beyond repair, wishing he’d never heard JD’s name, and that he never came to NXT. Will the Irish Ace unleash that Necessary Evil to end UNBESIEGBAR?
Backstage interview with Zoey Stark.
McKenzie knows that was a tough loss, but what is she feeling? Stark says she had it. She had the titles in her hands. Everything she busted her ass for was taken away. Kayden & Katana are the luckiest team right now. Lyons apologizes but Stark tells her that’s not her fault. Things happen in the heat of the moment, and that was just frustrating that the ref didn’t see the tags. But it’s okay. Stark & Lyons will get a rematch, and they will get the gold for sure this time. Can Lyons & Stark keep their cool and finish it off for sure next time?
The Schism heads to the ring.
Joe Gacy, Rip Fowler, Jagger Reed and the mysterious little red riding hood go to the ring, all wearing those yellow smiley masks. Gacy takes his off to say, “Pride and arrogance are commonplace in NXT. Take a good look at these luminaries right here, and reflect on the strength that comes from our humble unity. These pioneers, three of many more to come, understand that togetherness is the greatest accomplishment! Our mission statement is clear: remove your mask, and join the Schism, or… be torn down!”
Fans boo as Rip takes off his mask to say, “NXT is a den of selfishness and greed. Envious of others’ good fortunes, superstars and fans alike put themselves before the greater good of our unity. And we hear your comments towards us, but we understand that it is simply a reflection of your own shortcomings. Only by coming together can the system work. Water the roots, and more roots will grow! But allow them to dry out, and so will all hope.”
Jagger adds, “Wrath is a manipulative emotional state. Uncontrolled negativity affects both the personal and the social well-being. To be truly healthy, you must learn to control it correctly. Anger divides and pain brings pain. But love… Love brings love. And The Schism only builds stronger together as a unit.” Gacy says, “There are people in this world who you would think have everything they could ever want, but are empty and depleted on the inside. Rip Fowler, Jagger Reed, learned that the path to ever lasting unity comes from showing their true selves. Now, the time has come for you to take your next step,” Red.
“To sit under the Schism’s tree, you must do the same and reveal your true self. But remember: there is no going back.” Red steps down and unzips the jacket. The hood comes down, and the mask comes off to reveal… THE ROCK’S DAUGHTER, SIMONE ALEXANDRA JOHNSON!! Simone says, “The love and acceptance the Schism has given me defies any preconceived notions of who I’m supposed to be. This family completes me. I am Ava Raine.” The Schism hug it out! Gacy says, “This collective of hearts beats together in harmony. Four roots, one tree.” Love is blind, grass is greener on the other side, and now will Raine help The Schism reign over NXT?
Backstage interview with Sol Ruca.
McKenzie says this is her second match in NXT, and it’s against Indi Hartwell. How is Sol feeling? Nervous and excited, the same way she does when she’s about to drop in on a wave or flying through the air. Indi is badass, but Sol… Indi walks in. “A bit of advice from someone who’s been here for more than one match: Doing tricks to wow the audience is cool, I’ll give you that; but it’s only gonna get you so far in NXT. It’s all about winning. And you’re about to learn that right now.” Will the Surfer Girl learn a thing or two from #IndiWrestling?
NXT shares a call to the Performance Center.
A receptionist gives a standard message, “You have reached the WWE Performance Center. Please leave your name, number, and a brief message after the beep, and we will get back to you at our earliest convenience. Have a great day.” The person says, “Let go of all your pain, washing away your deepest fears. Listen with your eyes, speaking with your ears. Awaken from the pits you call the dark, opening up to my soliloquy is just the start. Watch as I come and leave my mark, as I plan to rip all of NXT apart. Sincerely, SCRYPTS.” What?
Indi Hartwell VS Sol Ruca!
NXT returns as Sol makes her entrance. The bell rings and Indi scoops Sol to SLAM her! And scoop SLAM her! Indi smirks and whips but Sol reverses. Things speed up, Sol leaps but then goes Matrix to dodge! Sol scoops and carries Indi to SLAM her! And scoop SLAM her again! Cover, ONE! Sol is frustrated, but she handsprings in! Indi dodges but Sol elbows her. Solo whips, Indi holds ropes to avoid the dropkick, and Sol stagger sup into a LARIAT! Indi smirks as she drags Sol back up for another LARIAT! And then another LARIAT! Indi stalks Sol to BLINDSIDE FOREARM! Cover, Indi wins!
Winner: Indi Hartwell, by pinfall
Now that was impressive. The veteran shows the new girl on the block what’s what, is this Indi’s chance to finally- Wait! Elektra Lopez POSTS Indi!! Lopez drags Sol up to BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Legado may be gone but Lopez is back and she KICKS Sol while she’s down. “La Madrina is BACK!” Will she take over all on her own now that she’s her own boss?
NXT checks on Chase U.
The students talk before class but Professor Andre gets them to take their seats. Wait, where’s Bodhi Hayward? He said he’d be prepared this week. Duke Hudson apologizes for entering late, but he was looking for Bodhi. He couldn’t find him anywhere. Thea Hail has no idea, either, despite being his roommate. Chase says he is a bit disappointed, as Bodhi was going to give a presentation on the holiday traditions of pro-wrestling. Duke hopes his Granny Smith apple makes up for it. Y’know what they say: A bad apple spoils the bunch. Sit down, Duke. Fair enough. Duke takes Bodhi’s seat next to Thea and we move on.
Next week is November, a big month for the WWE with many big events. They’ll cover a lot of material in a short amount of time, so take great notes. Thea’s pen is out of ink so Duke lends her his. But what’s he gonna write with? Duke will just memorize it all. Oh, are Chase’s words not effin’ important enough to write down? Does he speak to enjoy the sound of his own effin’ voice?! Get a pen and take notes! duke accepts that and promises it won’t happen again. Chase appreciates that.
Now, holiday traditions in WWE include Survivor Series, which has had many historic moments. Wait, Duke sneaks someone else’s pen off their desk! That sly snake! Is Duke going to grift his way through this class? Or will someone call him out on it?
The countdown is coming.
Before the year is over, NXT DEADLINE arrives! Will time run out? And for who?
Roxanne Perez speaks.
“I don’t like the person I became at Halloween Havoc. I can’t even believe that that’s me. Two former best friends did everything they can to destroy each other. I’m not sorry for what I did. Cora wasn’t excited about our potential, she was afraid of mine. Through losing a best friend, I found a whole new level of belief in myself. I can stand on my own. Friends are gonna come and go, but no matter who changes around me, I have to stay true to who I am, and why I’m here.” Will the Breakout Star shine as her best self from here on out?
Malik & Edris regroup backstage.
Malik laments that that could’ve been their last chance. Edris agrees, but they then spot ODYSSEY JONES pulling up with a truckload of ladies! He says they were oh so close to winning, but it’s okay. Tonight, they go out and have the time of their lives! Forget about the match, hope up in the truck, have a bit of fun, and they’ll get it all back on track next week. Edris is for it! He hops on, and Malik jumps IN! They ride out into the night, will a bit of cutting loose help them turn things back around?
Ilja Dragunov VS JD McDonagh!
The Czar and the Irish Ace are about to go around one more time, and this could be the nastiest, most violent round yet! Will Dragunov rid himself and NXT of the “cancer” that is The Irish Ace? Or will the Necessary Evil be an inevitability?
NXT returns as JD makes his entrance. Ilja doesn’t wait for the bell, he drags JD into the ring while he’s on the corner! The ref checks, JD is mad, the bell rings and Ilja GERMAN SUPLEXES! JD throws elbows but can’t get away, Ilja GERMAN SUPLEXES again! JD keeps fighting with elbows but Ilja shifts to a GOTCH LIFT SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! JD survives and shakes his jacket off but Ilja is after him. Ilja CHOPS JD in a corner and JD staggers away! JD goes to another corner, Ilja CHOPS again! Ilja bumps JD off buckles, but JD kicks low and CHOPS in return! And CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS!
JD whips, Ilja reverses then runs in to knee JD! Ilja pushes JD to then BOOT him! Fans fire up with Ilja and he drags JD up. Ilja CLUBS JD right back down! JD flounders to ropes but Ilja brings him around. Ilja CLUBS JD, then waistlocks. Fans rally, Ilja drags JD up, but JD throws back elbows. JD HEADBUTTSÂ the bad ribs! JD throws body shots on that target, then he whips Ilja to kitchen sink knee him down! Ilja sits up and seethes, but JD storms up to snap- NO, Ilja blocks the suplex to scoop and SLAM! Fans rally, Ilja stalks JD and drags him up. Ilja CHOPS JD off his feet, but dares him to get back up!
Fans rally, Ilja waistlocks and he drags JD up. JD fights to a switch, shoves, but Ilja Tiger Feints. The ribs cause him to fall, though! Ilja stands, JD has him at the ropes! JD suplexes but Ilja fights it! Ilja suplexes JD! JD fights that to HOTSHOT Ilja! Fans boo while Ilja flounders on the apron. JD BLASTS Ilja and Ilja hits the desk! JD smirks while fans boo and the ref checks Ilja. JD wants after Ilja but the ref tells him to stay back. The ref has to check Ilja but he says a medic needs to step in. Fans boo as the medical team checks Ilja. Ilja sputters and JD says just name him the winner! Ilja clutches his rib but he doesn’t want this to stop, and NXT goes to break.
NXT returns and JD kicks low! JD suplexes, and he hangs Ilja out to dry! But Ilja flips right over and ends up clipping JD! Both men are down, but JD stands up first to snarl and scowl. JD kicks Ilja around, drags him up, and hits an atomic BACKBREAKER! Cover, ONE!! Ilja toughs it out but JD throws knee after knee into the back! Cover, TWO! JD clamps on a rear bearhug and he thrashes Ilja around. Fans rally, Ilja endures, and Ilja fights up to his feet to throw elbows on JD! Ilja is free but JD throws a body shot to the bad ribs! JD waistlocks to SLAM Ilja back down. Fans rally again as Ilja endures the bearhug.
Ilja fights with more elbows, and he has JD wobbling. JD throws another body shot, but Ilja fires a forearm! JD trades those forearms, they go back and forth and fans rally. Ilja fires boxing elbows! JD ROCKS Ilja with one, but JD spins to CHOP! And then he CHOPS a leg! And CHOPS JD from behind! Waistlock, but the ribs stop the suplex! JD ROCKS, Ilja PELES! Both men are down and fans are thunderous! Ilja nods and stands back up. Ilja roars and aims from a corner! Ilja runs corner to corner to KNE EJD, then he snapmares JD down. Ilja goes up, KING KONG KNEE DROP! Ilja roars again and goes back up as fans fire up!
Ilja aims again, SUPER SENTON onto knees!! JD saves himself at the last second and deals major damage to Ilja! JD crawls over, drags Ilja by a leg, and then he stomps the bad ribs! JD flounders his way up the corner, fans rally up and Ilja stands to CHOP! Ilja climbs, JD CLUBS away on him, but Ilja still rises! Ilja HEADBUTTS again and again and then stands on the very top! Fans fire up for the SUPERPLEX! But then Ilja rolls through and FALLING FOREARMS!! But the bad ribs won’t let Ilja cover! “This is Awesome!” all the same as Ilja makes his way back to a corner. Ilja aims and shouts, “UN! BE! SIEG! BAR!”
JD stands, Ilja runs in, but the ribs hold him back again! JD laughs at Ilja’s pain, but then Ilja scowls. That scares JD! Ilja runs in, TORPEDO- SLEEPER HOLD!! JD catches Ilja and squeezes the air out of him! Ilja is being twisted but his second wind helps him fight! Ilja pries at the hands and arms, but JD thrashes around! Ilja has blood in his mouth but he’s not giving up! The ref checks, Ilja is OUT!! JD WINS!
Winner: JD McDonagh, by referee stoppage
But JD isn’t letting go!! JD is foaming from the mouth as he lets go of Ilja! Cancer or not, JD is dangerous! Ilja is put on a backboard, then on a stretcher. JD grins as he admires the damage he’s done. Will the Irish Ace be more than just the necessary evil as he looks to get one more shot at gold?
My Thoughts:
A great NXT to follow up Halloween Havoc and set up some more things, but also some rather curious things. One, that whole “SCRYPTS” thing. I suppose a WWE call center promo is a bit out of the box, but it just sounds like a low tech version of Bray Wyatt’s White Rabbit campaign. No idea who this will be or how this character is supposed to work, but I suppose NXT trying something different is commendable in itself. Another thing was giving us Ilja VS JD here so soon. It was a great match and a brutal finish, but I don’t know how JD winning is supposed to serve a purpose to the title scene. we saw Bron beat him 1v1, we should’ve gotten Bron VS Ilja 1v1 just to see how that goes. Now, I know Apollo stated his claim, but WWE sticks to Face VS Heel, so I don’t see Apollo getting his shot yet.
Speaking of, why is Waller getting into the North American Championship stuff with Wes Lee when Waller lost at Halloween Havoc? Granted, Waller is one of the Heels who can do a lot both on the mic and in the ring, and that segment with Truth was hilarious. Classic Truth forgetting what day it is, and so I hope he forgets next week, too, so that he’ll be in costume again for November 1st. But even if he doesn’t forget things, he and Waller can have a fun match that I’m sure Waller wins to establish he wants after the North American title. Waller will be a good win for Wes to establish his reign, and we can get matches with other Heels after.
We got a decent match out of Shotzi and Lash, mostly for Lash and Shotzi just not quite clicking. To my surprise, Xyon Quinn didn’t show up to go after Quincy so there wasn’t anything further set up there. Maybe they start that next week with a month to build towards NXT Deadline. We also got an interesting swerve on Damon Kemp not taking on Brutus, and then having Indus Sher attack the Creeds. Maybe Veer & Sanga are Kemp’s muscle now? That would make for a good Six Man: Roderick Strong & The Creeds VS Kemp & Indus Sher.
Nice little surprise that after Indi squashes Sol, Lopez returns with force. Lopez will probably get at a title this time now that she isn’t just playing sidekick to male superstars like Escobar and Tony D. And Lopez VS Indi can be a great way to send Indi to main so she can finally join Lumis in his story on Raw. And I like that we got more to the vignette for Dijak’s return to NXT. He got to narrate it this time, so nice play off of “retribution,” and who knows who he’ll wreck when he first shows himself. At this point, throw him right at the top title. Bron can face a guy who is bigger than him, and technically struggle, but we’ll more than likely see Bron overcome that challenge, too.
Of course Toxic Attraction sets up Mandy’s celebration, which I hope gets crashed hard. I was hoping it’d be Roxanne Perez, but her promo basically has her double down on being the nice Face when she should be doubling down on a newfound edge. If not Roxie, then maybe Mandy’s next opponent will be another NXT UK star wanting another shot. But at the same time, there’s a chance Mandy would just bury them 1v1, too. The Chase U segment was good, and it’s establishing more of what Duke is up to. He keeps kissing up to Chase and Thea while more than likely he’s the reason Bodhi didn’t make it to class today.
The tag title matches were both great, with the Women’s Tag titles opening without even entrances. I am a bit torn on how that one went, but it was more out-of-the-box thinking to have a controversial finish that gets resolved in the same moment. Stark & Lyons technically won but they don’t, so that rematch they’re having will be like an unofficial tiebreaker to see which team is really the best. I personally still feel like this can be the moment that sends KC Squared to main so they can go for the WWE Women’s Tag titles next.
The men’s tag team title match was great, too, especially with those promos from both sides. Malik & Edris have shown great growth, going from jobbers to stars, but I guess they’ve still got a ways to go. But great return for Odyssey, he could form a trio with those guys and they can feud with The Schism and other factions. And of course, for how odd and bootleg Bray Wyatt The Schism has been, how amazing is it that Simone, daughter of The Rock, is debuting as a major character already? Ava Raine (I had to double check that spelling) already has a good look with the red hair and red contact lens, and maybe, just maybe, The Schism is allowed to be a faction that goes after all the divisions and actually gets something done.

Backstage interview with MXM Collection.
Alicia Atout is with Mansoor & Mason, and says their match with The Acclaimed came with many promises. One was to end scissoring, and the other is to have a mystery guest at ringside. Mansoor says yes, things got ugly on Rampage. Speaking of ugly, Max, Anthony & Billy, are you excited for MXM’s special surprise? Their third man, that is. But he is anything but ugly. He is fabulous, and he will beautifully make sure MXM takes Acclaimed’s spot and ends scissoring forever. But first… how do they look… RICO!? Wait, what!? YES! Rico Constantino says they look so~ good to him. The OG wrestling model is All Elite, but will he help MXM bury scissoring?

Winners: The Acclaimed, by pinfall
And with that, scissoring will live on in AEW! Will making it past MXM mean Caster & Bowens are on their way back to the AEW World Tag Team Championships?

Now where is my locker room?” Mone asks a AEW staff member that very question, and hopes she has her espresso machine. She has to get ready for the show. Queen Aminata steps in to say that she doesn’t care who Mone is, or how many titles she has, or what she’s done in this business. There is no reason to be rude like this. Oh, no reason~! Who even are YOU? Mone has no time for Aminata. Now, to her locker room! The CEO has disrespected a queen, will she come to regret it?
Tony Schiavone is on stage.
Schiavone reminds us that WrestleDream is the event dedicated to the life and memory of the late, great Antonio Inoki, founder of NJPW and wrestling legend in his own right. Tony Khan is here with Inoki’s grandsons to say that it is great to be here in the Tacoma Dome tonight! Thank you, everyone, for being here. Joining us are the grandsons of the late, great Inoki. It is great to have Hirota and Naota, as this show is inspired by their grandfather, wrestling’s greatest dreamer. In honor of their family, let us all join in on Inoki’s famous chant. Ready? Ichi! Ni! San! DA!! Here goes! ICHI! NI! SAN! DA!!! Thank you, Tacoma! Let’s have a great show tonight!

Renee says The Rainmaker has now been cleared for competition, but has no match set for tonight. Why is he in Tacoma tonight? Okada says he is here to support The Elite. Yes, they are in action tonight, but- Kyle interrupts! He apologizes, but it is good to see Okada here. Kyle respects Okada, but he’s never faced Okada 1v1. And since Okada is cleared, how about Kyle gets a match? Okada says let him think about it. He thinks on it right here and now. And then says, “HELL NO!” Okada steps away, but comes back to add, “B*tch!” Kyle says that’s fine, he gets it. Maybe next time he’ll try… HAYMAKERS!!
The security rushes in here, as does Christopher Daniels! The Fallen Angel says tonight is one of the biggest nights, there can’t be chaos like this! They are both OUT of the building! GO! Okada and Kyle leave, but will these two have it out on Dynamite?

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee Paquette doesn’t do the CEO introduction she did on Tuesday, but now it’s not good enough for the Two Belt Boss! Mone says she needs something something, more flava. Then joining her now is- Okay, no, Renee is better off just asking the questions. Renee congratulates Mone on her double title defense victory on Title Tuesday, but those chops from Emi Sakura…! It was like one after another! Wasn’t it like 30 or something? Mone & Kamille tell Renee to stop. Mone is still feeling the pain. But she is The CEO, she has no time for this, it is time to handle business. She has to go jump on her private jet, something Renee knows nothing about!
But Kamille is staying here to watch Kris Statlander very closely. And do you know why? Because money changes everything! Bye-bye, Renee. Mone heads out, Brickhouse stays, and Renee sheepishly exits. Will Kamille make sure the #BornAgainKristen doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk?
The Acclaimed VS ???
Speaking of talking and walking, Platinum Max Caster leads the way for Anthony Bowens as they- GET JUMPED BY MXM COLLECTION!? The fans boo as Mansoor & Mason Madden beat down Caster & Bowens! Mason may have been a football player but he dribbles Caster off the ramp while Mansoor stomps away on Bowens! Mason RIPS the customized jacket, to then CHOKE Caster with it! Mansoor runs Bowens right into the side of the tunnel! MXM is getting revenge for their New York fashion show finale being ruined, and they place The Acclaimed side by side on stage.
Mansoor has Caster’s mic to say, “Now you see what happens, huh!? Now you see what happens when Daddy Ass isn’t around to protect you. We drop you on YOUR asses! And I bet you didn’t think we could do it, huh? I bet none of you thought MXM Collection were capable of this!” Bowens tris to sit up but Mansoor stomps him down. Mansoor says MXM didn’t wanna take it this far! They wanted to keep it light. They wanted to keep it fun. But Acclaimed took something special from them! They took MXM’s Grand Slam Collision moment away!
“So now, we are going to take something from you. Tomorrow night, WrestleDream, MXM Collection BEAT The Acclaimed, and WE are going to take YOUR spot!” The fans boo, but Mansoor says when numbers are even, MXM come out on top. Tomorrow night, MXM will have a very special surprise in their corner. It will be a third man, and Acclaimed, Mansoor promises them, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that third man will make sure they KILL scissoring and bury it once and for all! Mansoor then shouts to Mason, “Touch! My! Tip!” They finger boop as the fans boo, but both challenge and promise have been made. Who will be that third man, brother?
Kris Statlander speaks.
“You ever feel like somewhere along the way, you lost who you were? That’s exactly what happened to me. When you make a change, you need to think where you went wrong or how you got there. For me, everything went wrong when Mercedes Mone showed up. My best friend became obsessed with her. I let Stokely get in my ear, and I got led down the wrong path. I didn’t know who I was, but I did what I needed to do. And on the five year anniversary of Dynamite, I was reminded of who I am. I became ‘Born Again Kristen,’ and I am the biggest, baddest, strongest woman in AEW. I’m coming for Mercedes Mone and her TBS title.”
The Galaxy’s Greatest has her head on straight, but will she be able to earn that shot at championship redemption in the background of WrestleDream?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee is with Cassidy, Kyle and Rocky, and she commends Cassidy & Kyle on their win over The Kingdom. And tonight, Rocky is going to step into the ring with “The Bad Apple,” Bryan Keith. How does he feel ahead of his match? Rocky says he’s a little pissed. On Title Tuesday, The Learning Tree said Rocky was just some lackey for The Conglomeration. But Rocky is no man’s lackey! Tonight, he shows the Learning Tree, and most importantly Bryan Keith, that Rocky is his own man. Kyle says that’s right, Rocky. But um, Mark Briscoe isn’t here tonight, so what’s the word of the day? Kyle really needs to know.
Rocky says the word of the day is they stand back here while he handles business. Rocky heads out, will Azucar get himself some sweet victory? Or will The Bad Apple make him taste bitter defeat?
Kris Statlander VS Amira!
With The CEO’s Brickhouse watching backstage, #BornAgainKristen looks to keep her win streak going. Will there be no stopping Kris on her road back to the TBS Championship?
The bell rings, and Kris runs right up to UPPERCUT Amira in a corner! Then she goes side to side to KNEE Amira, and reels her in for a suplex! Kris holds Amira up to show off that strength, and then she SLAMS Amira down! Kris kips up and the fans fire up! Kris storms back up on Amira, but Amira fires forearms! Kris shoves Amira, Amira ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Kris stops the rana! Tuck and STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Another win that wasn’t just strong, but fast! Kamille is only moderately impressed, but will she be feeling different about Kris after they have a head-on Collision?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee is with The Learning Tree and brings up tomorrow night, WrestleDream, and the ROH World Championship match with Mark Briscoe. However, Jericho has quickly made this match personal with Mark, what is going on? Jericho smiles and says, “Hi, guys~! You know what’s personal to me, Renee? It’s the legacy of Chris Jericho. And after 34 years in this business, I can honestly say I’ve done and seen it all. I have headlined the biggest buildings in the world, from the Tokyo Dome to Madison Square Garden, to Rod Laver Arena in Sydney, Australia. Arena Mexico, everything. Nobody has had the impact over generations like Chris Jericho has.
“And now, it’s the dawn of a new Chris Jericho. As you know, I always reinvent myself, evolve. I was The Ocho. But now, it’s time for The Nueve. And Mark Briscoe, you know what the word of the day is? It’s, ‘Humbled.’ And you need to be humbled. Cuz you got a great rep, everyone feels for you. They give you a lot of free rides. You get to cut a lot of corners. The fans feel the same way, I don’t. So at WrestleDream tomorrow, I am going to humble you, Mark Briscoe. And if I made things personal, that’s just too bad. If I’m getting inside your head, that’s just what Chris Jericho does.
“So tomorrow at WrestleDream, I will become the ROH World Champion, for a second time! Just like Jay Briscoe, two-time ROH Champion. And Mark, that’s going to be personal. See you tomorrow. The Nueve’s coming. Thanks, guys~!” Jericho stops smiling, but will he fail to keep that promise against a very angry Sussex County Chicken?
The Beast Mortos VS The Butcher!
Roderick Strong is on commentary to claim Beast Mortos has simply wondered away from The Kingdom, and he just needs to see he cannot trust Jake The Snake Roberts. But will Mortos only focus on destroying his opponent? Or can The Butcher make Mortos in a prime cut of beef?
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. The fans rally, the two tie up again, and then the two break again. Butcher and Mortos fire up, tie up again, and push each other back and forth. Butcher puts Mortos in the corner, the fans chant “BEAT THAT MEAT!” but the ref counts. Butcher backs off, he and Mortos reset, and they tie up again. They’re in another deadlock, but now Mortos powers Butcher back. Mortos lets off, but then SMACKS Butcher! The fans fire up as Butcher snarls. Butcher and Mortos tie up, and Butcher wrenches an arm to a wristlock.
Mortos goes up the ropes to flip through! Mortos wrenches, headlocks, but Butcher powers out. They RAM shoulders, and Butcher says Mortos’s got nothing! Mortos runs, he RAMS Butcher again, and Butcher says that’s nothing! Mortos fires up, runs, and RAMS Butcher again! Mortos eggs Butcher on, so Butcher runs, and Mortos drops! Mortos runs up, Butcher dodges but Mortos dodges back! Mortos rolls off Butcher’s back, then SOBATS! Front kick! ELBOW! Snapmare, and NECK TWIST! The fans fire up with Mortos, even Roddy cheers, and Mortos runs up. Butcher BOOTS back!
Butcher fireman’s carries, GUTBUSTER DROP, then LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Mortos survives, but Butcher stands him up to fire forearms. Butcher whips, Mortos reverses, then runs in. Butcher BOOTS Mortos, but Mortos fires up! Mortos runs in, Butcher dodges, and Mortos hits the corner! Mortos tumbles up and out, Butcher pursues, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Butcher CLUBS Mortos, then brings him around to whip into the apron! Butcher LARIATS Mortos down, and he looms over the beast. Butcher drags Mortos up, to then APRON BACK SUPLEX! Mortos staggers then falls over, and Butcher refreshes the ring count. Butcher ROCKS Mortos, CHOPS him, then stalks him around the way. Mortos SMACKS Butcher! Butcher ROCKS Mortos! Butcher SMACKS Mortos off the steel steps, then stalks him around the way. Butcher ROCKS Mortos again, Roddy shouts for Mortos to get going, but Butcher BITES Mortos on the forehead!

Mortos backs Butcher down, fires up, but Butcher CLOBBERS him from behind! Butcher drops a knee on Mortos, Mortos goes to a corner, and Butcher digs his boots in. The ref counts, but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and now Mortos has Butcher down. The fans fire up and Mortos storms up to LARIAT! But Butcher stays up! Mortos LARIATS again, but Butcher shakes his head. Mortos runs, but Butcher ROCKS him first! Butcher runs, but Mortos follows to SPLASH at the ropes! Mortos runs and baits Butcher in! HEADBUTT! Mortos roars, but DOUBLE LARIATS take both behemoths down! The fans fire up and a standing count starts. Butcher and Mortos slowly rise, and they go to opposite ends. Mortos storms up to fireman’s carry and WASTELAND SLAM! The fans fire up as Mortos climbs!
The fans fire up as Mortos PHOENIX FLOPS as Butcher moves! Butcher runs up, waistlocks, half nelson and BACKBRAEKER! Then a deadlift JACKHAMMER!! Cover, TWO!! Mortos survives and Butcher is frustrated. Butcher points to the corner, climbs it, but Mortos CLUBS him! Mortos torture racks Butcher, BACKBREAKER DROP!! Even Roddy is stunned! Mortos hits a FLYING HEADBUTT!! Cover, Mortos wins!
Winner: The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
Roddy says he was Mortos’ good luck charm! Jake the Snake is watching, he likes what he sees from his new client. But will Mortos be able to bring down Hologram in their WrestleDream Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is with the wild Aussie and asks if there’s any update on Saraya, who suffered in that brutal loss on Title Tuesday in that Fatal 4 Way. Harley says yes, Saraya is once again “incapacitated.” Then how is Harley holding up? She’s capacitated. What? Exactly! But do you know whose fault this really is? Does Renee know whom? Who? No, whom. Just say whom. ANNA JAY! What? She wasn’t even in the match! Exactly! It was an Anything Goes, so Anna could’ve been that anything, but she didn’t show up. Harley had to pull wood outta her ass, but where was Anna? Probably home watching her Stardom tapes? Ohh~!
All of a sudden, Anna goes to Japan and now she’s too big for the rest of them? Anna was supposed to be Saraya’s friend, but she wasn’t there, and now Saraya is pissed. And when Saraya is pissed, Harley kicks ass! Renee is confused, Harley says no more questions, and Harley storms off. Will the Star of the Show pay for simply doing nothing?
Lance Archer VS Matt Brannigan!
He may be part of the Don Callis Family now, but he’s still the Murderhawk Monster! He demolished people in the parking lot, he demolished his opponent on ROH last night, will he just keep on demolishing people until he’s become a champion?
The bell rings and Brannigan flexes right up in Archer’s face, but then regrets it. Archer choke grips, but Brannigan slips free! Brannigan dodges in the corner, CHOPS, but again regrets it. He CHOPS again, and again, then tries a choke grip! Archer just pries the hand away to LARIAT Brannigan inside-out! Archer whips Brannigan, BACKDROPS him, and the fans fire up! Brannigan goes to a corner. Archer runs in to ELBOW! Archer keeps going, and he ELBOWS Brannigan again! And then ELBOWS him again! Brannigan falls, the fans fire up, and Archer drags Brannigan to his feet. Double choke grip, for a TOSS overhead!
The fans fire up while Brannigan flounders. Archer reminds us, “EVERYBODY DIES!” Archer stands Brannigan up, tells the ref to back off, and he CHOPS Brannigan down! The fans fire up, Archer puts Brannigan back in the corner, and he fakes the chop. The fans boo but Archer puts Brannigan up top. UPPERCUT, and then crucifix lift! BLACKOUT BOMB! Cover, Archer wins!
Winner: Lance Archer, by pinfall
Callis loves the dominance of his Murderhawk Monster, but will Callis help Archer finally have gold here in AEW?
Jake the Snake speaks.
It was just after Title Tuesday and the world saw La Faccion Ingobernable join this living legend when Jake Roberts said, “Anybody that knows Jake Roberts knows that Jake Roberts has been all over the world, wrestled everyone. From Andre the Giant to Hulk Hogan and back. It did not matter. But they also know that Jake Roberts never cared about rules. Rules are for children. We’re not children. My friend, what we have here, matadors? Maybe. Maybe ninjas, who knows. I will tell you this: They’re hungry. What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. Because when Jake Roberts tells you something, you can take it to heart.
“Rules are meant to be broken, like bones. And my friend, they’ll be glad to do both for you.” Rush tells us all to remember: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! LFI throw up the fists, who will get those fists in their face in the very near future?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Renee is now with The Star of the Show and brings up the harsh words from Harley. Harley blames Anna for not being a friend? Anna says yes, that’s right, they’re not friends, never were friends. It was a one-time team up, and they took some nice pictures, but Anna’s not running out to the ring to help two women who wouldn’t even spit on her if she was on fire. Anna takes care of herself, and that is fine. She has her own back, and needs both hands. What has she been saying since getting back? #JustTryMe. So what’s so hard about that? Anna is here and ready for anyone.
Harley wants to kick Anna’s ass? This one? Anna shows it to the camera. Just a heads up, this ass can kick back. Harley has been warned, will she reconsider her misplaced aggression?
Rocky Romero VS Bryan Keith!
Azucar may not be on the current Conglomeration merch shirt, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less a part of the team. Will Rocky make sure everyone, especially The Bad Apple, understands that?
But Keith doesn’t wait for the bell, he attacks Rocky at the corner! The bell does ring, Keith fires off forearms, and the ref reprimands. Keith lets off just to dig his boot in, but the ref tells Keith to stop. Keith snatches Rocky’s eyepatch away, then SMACKS him with it! Keith CHOPS Rocky, whips him corner to corner, but Rocky goes up and up to CROSSBODY! Rocky rains down fists, and he fires up! The fans fire up with Rocky but Keith bails out. Rocky finally takes off his jacket, and goes out after Keith. Keith knees low, whips, but Rocky stops from hitting steps! Rocky SMACKS Keith off steps, then uses steps to go up and FLYING RANA!
The fans fire up while Rocky gives some Latino Heat. Rocky puts Keith in, climbs a corner, but Keith bails out. The fans boo, but then Rocky WRECKS Keith with a dropkick! Rocky hurries out after Keith and the fans rally again. Rocky uses steps again, but Keith catches Rocky! EXPLODERÂ to the floor! Rocky writhes and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Keith storms up on Rocky, rains down fists, but stops as the ref reprimands. Keith paces around, drags Rocky up, and CHOPS him! Rocky staggers away, Keith storms up and CHOPS again. Keith whips Rocky hard into railing! Rocky falls in a heap but Keith still seethes. Keith drags Rocky up, puts him in, and then drags Rocky up just to snapmare him back down. Keith drops a knee on Rocky’s face! Cover, TWO! Keith argues the count but Aubrey defends that two is two. Keith storms after Rocky to CHOP him in a corner. Keith stalks Rocky, bumps him off buckles, then puts him against ropes!
Aubrey counts, Keith lets off, and Keith puts Rocky in a corner. Keith whips corner to corner, Rocky reverses, then Rocky runs up to LARIAT! Rocky fires up, runs again, LARIAT! That’s two-ever but Rocky keeps moving, only for Keith to use Aubrey as a shield! Jericho really has taught him well. Rocky helps Aubrey aside, and he fires haymakers on Keith! Rocky ROCKS Keith, then whips corner to corner. Keith reverses, runs up, and he LARIATS Rocky inside-out! Keith then shouts at the camera, probably “RESPECT CHRIS JERICHO!” Keith clamps onto Rocky with a chinlock and grinds him down.
Rocky endures, pries at the hold, and fights up to his feet. Rocky fires body shots, then ROCKS Keith! And ROCKS him again! Keith CHOPS, Rampage returns to single picture, then he runs up. Rocky BOOTS back, but Keith just roars! Rocky BOOTS him again, then CHOPS Keith on the back! Rocky CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Keith in the chest, then puts Keith in a corner. Rocky KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away, then stomps a mudhole! Rocky digs both boots in, but Aubrey counts. Rocky lets off and is all fired up, as is Spokane. Rocky waits on Keith, runs in at him, but Keith dodges! Keith runs in, but into an UPPERCUT!
Rocky goes up and up and FLYING TORNADO DDTS! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives but Rocky stays focused. Rocky drags Keith up, then runs up to SLICED- NO, Keith slips free of the bread. Keith fires elbows, Rocky ducks one, but Keith runs up ropes! Rocky denies Keith his tornado DDT, and then wrenches, only for Keith to ROCK him! Underhooks, TIGERÂ KNEE STRIKE! Cover, TWO!! Rocky survives and Keith is stunned! Keith pulls at his hair in frustration but the fans rally up. Keith tells the kids to sit down, and he watches Rocky go to a corner. Keith runs in, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI!
Rocky goes up, leaps, but into another clinch! EXP- SUNSET FLIP! Keith rolls through, blocks a kick, ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL! Rocky runs up, SLICED BREAD!! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives again and the fans fire up! Rocky pounds the mat, the fans rally behind him, and he goes to a corner. Rocky climbs, but Keith hurries after him! Rocky fights the clinch, ROCKS Keith, but Keith RISING HEADBUTTS! Keith roars, fans boo, but Keith climbs up. Keith turns Rocky around, and BITES Rocky’s head! Aubrey reprimands, but Keith brings Rocky up, only for Rocky to fight! Rocky HEADBUTTS, and cravats!
The fans fire up for the SUPER SLICED BREAD!! Rocky clutches a leg, crawls to the cover, but Keith rolls away! Keith saves himself and fans boo as he goes to the floor. Rocky is frustrated, but he just builds speed. Rocky DIVES and down goes Keith! The fans fire up again and Rocky hobbles after Keith. Rocky drags Keith up, puts him in the ring, and the fans rally again. But Keith talks to Aubrey about pain in his neck. BIG BILL APPEARS, and he YANKS Rocky down! Then he BOOTS Rocky down! The fans boo but Bill puts Rocky in, Aubrey completely missing it! Keith runs in to KNEE Rocky at the corner!
Keith goes up and he reels Rocky in! DIAMOND DUST!! Cover, Keith wins!!
Winner: Bryan Keith, by pinfall
Kyle & Cassidy hurry out here but it is too late! The Bad Apple scores his win off Azucar, and he leaves to celebrate with The Redwood. Will there be no stopping The Learning Tree from having gold in his branches? Or can Mark Briscoe #ManUp and prevent The Nueve’s arrival?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even for a go-home, but clearly it suffered from the same dilemma as Dynamite in that with no Collision to take the pressure off, a lot more promos and story build had to be put here. Good promo from Mone to play off the one from Tuesday, good promo from Statlander to give us some idea as to why she got away from Stokely, and of course Kris squashes her opponent. Kris VS Kamille is going to be great stuff, and I think Kris sets herself up for a match with Mone at Full Gear. Good promo from Harley and Anna to set up their own match, which I would think Anna wins to get going towards her own title shot.
The Acclaimed being scheduled for a match just so MXM can jump them was pretty clever, but do they really need to have their match on WrestleDream? It feels like the only reason it’s a PPV match is because this third man will pull a Hulk Hogan founding NWO type move. It’ll be a Face going Heel and joining up. I don’t think it’ll be Daddy Ass, there has been no hint he wants out of The Acclaimed. It might be Caster because he wants to break away and prove he on his own is “The Best Wrestler Alive.” This blindside attack would then be a way to disguise that, because Caster got beat up as much as Bowens, but I guess we’ll wait and see.
Mortos VS Butcher was great stuff, and I found it kinda funny that Roddy was on commentary trying to still turn Mortos back to his side. Roddy & The Kingdom claiming all this stuff about Mortos has been pretty funny because clearly it’s all their delusion. Mortos is LFI, he and Hologram are going to have an awesome, potentially show stealing match, and then win or lose, Mortos and LFI will beat up The Kingdom. As such, good promo from Jake the Snake, I really hope LFI gets going this time. Meanwhile, Archer of course destroyed Brannigan, and likewise, let’s hope Archer can get a title now that Callis is his guy.
And really good stuff out of The Conglomeration’s story tonight. Very good tag match to open, can’t go wrong with Cassidy & Kyle VS Kingdom. What’s interesting was the respectful handshake after the match, so that further implies The Kingdom is going Face so they can battle LFI. Good promo from Jericho to give some last hype to the ROH World Championship, but I would hope Mark Briscoe wins. Rocky had a very good promo with Conglomeration, and a great match against Bryan Keith. But I just had a feeling Keith would win thanks to Bill, and good detail that Conglomeration didn’t get out there in time. That technically did honor Rocky’s request that they stay back, but Rocky should’ve known better. I would hope Rocky doesn’t cost Mark the title, we cannot go back to “Ring of Jericho”. No Nueve, por favor.
My Score: 8.6/10
