PLAY BY PLAY
It’s the NXT Deadline Kickoff Show!
Join McKenzie Mitchell, Sam Roberts and Denise Salcedo in discussing, analyzing and predicting this historic night!
Backstage interview with Roxanne Perez.
Kelly Kincaid says a drawing to determine the Iron Survivor Challenge order was held. Roxie says if she’s gonna win, she’ll have to be the Iron Woman, she drew NUMBER ONE! She doesn’t know what everyone else got, but being number one means she only has a few minutes to mentally prepare. Her tone makes her sound unhappy. She’s not happy or sad. No one knows what the best position is because this is a brand new match type, so she just has to get in the zone. Zoey Stark walks over and says, “That’s right, Roxanne. Get into that zone, because for 25 minutes, I’ll be in yours, because I drew number two. I hope you enjoy being in that Penalty Box.”
The Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge opens the night, will either The Prodigy or the Hunter make it to the end?
Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams crash the Kickoff show via video chat.
Trick has everyone stop here. They’re all talking, but these picks hold about as much worth as a sandy dollar in a windy day. The only money to talk about is #MoneyMelo. Put your DraftKings money on Melo, and then celebrate like the Trick Melo Gang’s gonna celebrate as Melo walks out THE Iron Survivor. The others weren’t born for greatness like Melo. The year 2022 was the Year of Melo, no debate! This Iron Survivor Challenge is no challenge to Melo! And as for that NXT Championship match, it is already written. What is meant for Melo will be. Sam wants to ask Melo his order of entry. Uh, when his music hits! Melo & Trick head out, but is Melo gonna make his shot no matter when he enters?
Kiana James prepares for tonight.
Gina lets her know that everything is in place. Good, good. She is in the perfect position to win this match. Brooks Jensen walks in, Gina steps up but Kiana has her stand down. Jensen keeps his eyes politely up… at the ceiling. What’s he staring at? She has a match to get ready for! Right, sorry, he just wanted to thank her for the tickets, and he knows she’s gonna kill it out there. Thanks. Good talk. Jensen says he’ll go so she can stretch. But then she notices the roses. Oh, yes, here they are. And then Jensen turns around. Kiana has him hold on. Next time she sees him, wear a shirt that fits. Right! He’ll burn this one right away! Jensen heads out, will he make a better impression next time?
Backstage interview with JD McDonagh.
Kelly asks him what he’s doing. He says he’s studying. Studying what? How to hurt people. He’s always looking for new ways to inflict pain. Especially tonight. He doesn’t have just one body to toy with, but four! And did you hear? Axiom got his wish: he and JD start as #1 and #2! And JD will make Axiom live to regret it.
What is the value of time?
For ten gladiators, time is priceless. “But as time marches forward, just whose vision will be tinted in gold? As the clock ticks towards a new year, is it the dawn of a new day in NXT? Tonight, two Iron Survivors will rise. Tonight, the Deadline is upon us, and the time is now!” History will be made, but by who?

Backstage interview with Ivy Nile & Tatum Paxley.
McKenzie says we all thought we’d see Creed Brothers VS Indus Sher, but that won’t be happening because of injury. It is unfortunate that Julius is still hurt, but Ivy is just looking out for them. They’d run through walls and still say that they’re fine. That’s the kind of athletes they are. Ivy may not be their favorite person right now, but she wants them to be 100% before facing Indus Sher. But that just means Ivy & Tatum have more time. Tatum knows Ivy is tough on the outside, but once you get to know her, you see that her heart is as big as her biceps. The NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions then walk over.
Katana Chance & Kayden Carter wanted to say that Ivy did the right thing. You gotta look out for those you care about. Ivy appreciates that, but don’t mistake kindness for weakness. She and Tatum had some starts and stops, but they’ll be seeing the champs real soon. Oh, no doubt about that. They’re not ones to run from fights. Even from teams they’ve grown to respect. KC Squared head out, will Tatum & Ivy soon bring some gold to the Diamond Mine?
Alba Fyre VS Isla Dawn!
If not for the wicked ways of the Unholy Enchantress, the Fire Keeper would be the NXT Women’s Champion. But now, Isla looks to bring about the dawn of a darker era in NXT. Will Isla be standing tall when the smoke clears? Or will Fyre burn this witch for her crimes?

Fyre whips Dawn into the ropes, then wrenches her to a suplex, GOURD BUSTER!

Kayden & Katana are headed out.
They’re gonna get drinks and party but speaking of, they run into the party boys, Odyssey Jones, Malik Blade & Edris Enofe! They’re all excited and ask the boys to go with them. Odyssey says they would but he’s hitting the gym. He’s got Von Wagner this Tuesday, and he has got to take care of business. But after that, then they out! Okay, see you then! KC Squared then run into Toxic Attraction. Gigi & Jacy saw what those two did back there. They offered a title match to Mighty Mouse and the leech. Can you believe Tatum is even in Diamond Mine? Is she? Yes, she has the jacket. Um, do Jacy & Gigi have a point they can get to?
The point is, KC Squared call themselves fighting champions but they lost to Gigi & Jacy two weeks ago. Uh, no you didn’t. Well, KC Squared seem to only face teams they know they can beat. But then Ivy & Tatum attack! Diamond Mine takes the fight to Toxic Attraction, but then the guys come back to stop this! Edris holds back Ivy & Tatum while Malik holds back Gigi & Jacy! Will there be no holding these two teams back when it comes to earning a tag title opportunity?

Winner: Grayson Waller with 3 points (inaugural Men’s Iron Survivor)
Fans boo as history was just ruined by the Grayson Waller Effect! The 21st Century Success Story is the NEW #1 contender to the NXT Championship! But with Bron Breakker VS Apollo Crews up next in the main event, who will Waller be facing for the title in the New Year?
Backstage interview with Drew Gulak.
McKenzie notes Gulak returned to NXT and many fans want to know why. Will he clarify? More than happy to. Gulak hasn’t yet reached his full potential. But he won’t point fingers at other people, he points to himself as the reason why. But he has an idea of how he can get to where he wants to go. He isn’t here to complain, but to grind in the ring. And if Gulak sees someone with potential in an NXT superstar, or even a prospect at the PC, then even better. Strength in numbers, after all. Damon Kemp then walks over and Gulak says he knows Kemp well. A great wrestler with an even more notorious attitude. Kemp will take that as a compliment.
Kemp saw Gulak watching NXT. This Tuesday, Kemp returns to the ring. And if there’s a match Gulak should watch, it’s Kemp when he schools Duke Hudson. Oh, well Gulak has a pretty good idea of who Kemp is already, but he’ll check him out. Good luck on Tuesday. Gulak heads out, but will he like what he sees?
NXT Championship: Bron Breakker VS Apollo Crews!
The Big Booty Nephew is already a two-time NXT Champion in his two years here, and he has learned a lot. But will all of those lessons help him against the experienced former WWE United States and Intercontinental Champion? Or will he see his title reign hit its deadline?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see what the future holds for both men!
The bell rings, fans rally and Apollo stares Bron down. Fans duel, cheering on Apollo but barking it up for Bron. Bron and Apollo still stare down, then they start to circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock as they match power, so they break. Fans cheer as the two talk a little smack. They go again, are in another deadlock, but Apollo manages to push Bron back. Bron pushes Apollo back, and then they break. Fans applaud as the two circle again. Bron and Apollo feel out a knuckle lock, and then they go for a Test of Strength. Bron starts to bend, Apollo starts to bend, they go shoulder to shoulder, and then Apollo FLIPS Bron!
Bron keeps the knuckle locks and they both stand up! Bron FLIPS Apollo, but Apollo holds on! They stand up again, go shoulder to shoulder again, and fans duel.

Apollo keeps the headlock, Bron fights up to his feet, and Apollo hits another takeover. Bron headscissors, Apollo kips free but Bron headlocks for a takeover.
Apollo headscissors, Bron kips free, but then Apollo headlocks for a takeover! Bron headscissors, Apollo kips free, Bron headlocks for the takeover! Apollo headscissors, Bron kips free, Apollo headlocks for the takeover, Bron headscissors but then both men kip up! Fans fire up as the two stare down! Fans rally and duel as Bron and Apollo reset again. Bron and Apollo talk a bit more smack, then Bron shoots in to waistlock. Apollo switches, Bron switches back, but Apollo switches. They keep switching, end up on the ropes, and the ref calls the break. Both men let off and they go again. They tie up, Apollo wrenches and whips.
Bron blocks the hip toss but so does Apollo! They go back and forth with that and end up on the ropes again! The ref counts, Apollo shoves Bron! Bron smirks and rushes in.

Cover, TWO! Bron keeps cool as he sees Apollo bail out. Bron builds speed and FLIES! Direct hit and down goes Apollo! Fans fire up and bark with Bron as he drags Apollo up. Bron puts Apollo in the ring, hops up the corner, and he leaps, into a JUMP KNEE! Apollo takes Bron out of the sky and fans fire up! Fans rally, Apollo snarls and he looms over Bron. The rage is building, Apollo cools off. Apollo closes his eyes, is he seeing the future?

Apollo drags Bron up to GERMAN SUPLEX! And then another GERMAN SUPLEX! And then a third GERMAN SUPLEX! Cover, TWO! Bron survives the hat trick but Apollo’s eyes are still wild.

My Thoughts:
An awesome first NXT Deadline! For one, I’m proud I nailed the match order. And opening with an Iron Survivor Challenge was definitely a great move. The rules may be a bit convoluted but we have the technology to keep track of it all. And it was so fast-paced and chaotic, that alone is a reason to like this match type. I thought Indi was going to be the one after her fiery promo to Mandy last Tuesday, but seems not. Roxie winning this to get a second chance is a pretty good move, I hope she dethrones Mandy at New Year’s Evil, which is surprisingly happening after all, even though they’re advertising ahead to Vengeance Day in February.
Good promos from Ivy & Tatum, KC Squared and Toxic Attraction, as well as a good quick brawl from Toxic Attraction and Diamond Mine. Their tag match will definitely determine a #1 contender to the champions, and that will be a great match. Fyre VS Dawn was a really good match, and when commentary pointed out the ref for that match was the one Dawn misted, I just knew he was going to be important to the finish. Dawn of course wins, but I don’t think this is done between her and Fyre. They might escalate things into a spooky stipulation for New Year’s Evil. Also, speaking of, what was the point of that vignette hyping up someone and the New Year’s special? Is this Tiffany Stratton’s return? Why not just have her return?
Great prematch promo from the New Day, and just an awesome match with Pretty Deadly. I did not actually think they’d have New Day win, but how awesome for them to have the WWE Tag Team Triple Crown on their record now. Plus, now we can have an epic set of matches for New Day, including a rematch with Pretty Deadly. Good promo from Gulak and Kemp, but somehow this has to bring Dempsey in. And between Gulak, Kemp and Dempsey, that is a lot of great technical wrestling right there. I am still wondering where Noam Dar is, and I’m hoping they bring the Heritage Cup/British Rounds back into things.
The Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge was also awesome, and even though this was only the second match of its kind, they innovated it already by thinking outside the box. Or rather, thinking with the Penalty Box with the brawling inside and Axiom jumping off it. But what a wild choice for Waller to win. I guess they’re saving Melo for Vengeance Day and NXT’s first major event on the road. Bron VS Apollo was great stuff, until Bron basically no sells Apollo’s rage and wins. Bron is of course beating Waller, Waller got the better of him and even touched the title.
But what is Apollo to do now that he lost on the big title, the main reason he returned? The North American Championship scene is in a story, and it can’t get crowded all over again after just being very crowded for that ladder match. Kinda brings me back to wanting the Heritage Cup to show up and give us a British Rounds Division. Imagine the fun Apollo could have in a match all about the time constraints and fast pace.
My Score: 8.9/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 4.16.2026
Last few weeks of iMPACT! have been shaky at best, but Rebellion was fun! Do we start a new good streak?
Rebellion was a better show than I think anyone really anticipated. The Hardcore Country Match was pure fun. X Division and International were great matches, Tag match made sense, main event was good just too overbooked.
We did get KC Navarro’s return, Alisha returning to The System and Ryan Nemeth being that crown jewel of TNA. Slammiversary isn’t until the end of June, so we get like 10 weeks of build…can we get consistent TV?
Let’s see how things start!

Results:
AJ Francis vs KC Navarro
KC has been on the shelf for a few months after an ACL tear, AJ kicked him out of Fri$t Cla$$ and never kept his name out of his mouth. Early on KC uses the speed kills strategy, tries an Olympic Slam but that’s a bad idea, recovers from that and goes for a Dive, but AJ catches him, Snake Eyes him on the apron and then Lawn Darts him into the post. AJ takes his time, and KC is selling the moves, the hard Irish Whip, and it’s a simple but effective size difference story. AJ tries a Death Valley Driver, but KC slips it, tries another Olympic Slam, but can’t lift AJ again. AJ hammers him down and then just throws him across the ring, hitting Tennessee Whiskey and soaks in the boos.
AJ stalks KC, kicks at him a few times before trying to grab him, eats a Jawbreaker, Dropkick from KC staggers AJ. Irish Whip counter, Up and Over catch, but KC turns it into a Satellite DDT, KC with John Woo Dropkicks in triplicate. KC perches AJ on the second rope…Avalanche Olympic Slam! Only a near fall, but a good spot they were building towards. KC climbs to the opposite corner, jumps and eats the TFL! AJ points at Nic Nemeth on commentary, he’s trying to send a message. Takes too long, KC with the Body Scissors Cradle, 1-2-3! KC with the flash pinfall victory!
The System come out, with slightly altered music having Lish in say in the beginning “You can’t beat The System”. Cedric says that because Leon cheated with the belt it doesn’t count as a loss. Leon comes down, tries to speak English but sucks at it, as per usual. Moose comes out to run down The System. They try to make a match, Daria comes out, says S.hut U.p I.m T.alking. She tells them no tag match, Moose and Leon try to talk smack to Daria so Daria changes her tune and tells them they’ll be in a 2v4 handicap match against the entire System.
Tasha Steelz w/Order 4 vs Jada Stone
After Mustafa runs his mouth a little, announces his International Title open challenge, he calls for Jada to come out for her match and Jada hits the ring running. Quick back and forth, rope runs, Headscissors from Jada sends Tasha into the corner, Jada tries the Bulldog, but Tasha powders. Jada adjusts, Baseball Slide. Skyler tries to get involved but gets seen, Jada kicks Tasha in the mouth. Jada jumps, Tasha is supposed to catch her but can’t keep her balance and stumbles backwards in a makeshift Stumble Bomb thing. Jada gets tossed into the post after, Tasha hits the Short-Arm Lariat, and we head to commercial.
As we return, Tasha connects with a slam, a near fall and a few short stomps into a Drop Toe Hold to send Jada neck first into the lower rope. After the referee admonishes Hotch, Jada tries for a surprise Sunset Flip, but Tasha kicks out and then connects with a Pump Kick. Chin Lock is cinqued in, but Jada fights up, but Tasha uses the hair to slam Jada’s face into the mat. Tasha pushes Jada into the corner, stomps and chokes her until the referee forces the break. Stike Exchange, Jada gets the best of that, Two Lariats and a Slingblade later and Tasha is suddenly having issues. Enzuigiri, Meteora into the Split Legged Moonsault, but only for two!
Mustafa and Hotch start to plot, as Tasha hits a Jawbreaker and Neckbreaker combo but only for two. Jada reverses the whip, but Tasha slips to the outside, Gamengiri, sloppy reentry, sloppy attempt at catching Jada’s Back Hand Spring into a German Suplex. This just continues to show that Tasha sucks in the ring, but she’s great on the mic. Jada hits a Tornado DDT off the ropes into a Northern Lights Suplex, floated into a lame Facebuster. This match has broken down a bit. Mustafa distracts Jada, Tasha pulls her off the top rope into the Okurrr but only a two count. The ref kicks out Order 4 because of the Implication. Jada hits the Spark Stunner for the win.
Good for Jada, but not a good match…and it wasn’t Jada’s fault. She’s money.

Santana comes out to cut a promo, talks about how he’s put away all the former champions thrown at him so far, so he’s gonna call his shot. He calls out Rich Swann, wants Daria to make the match for next week, and Rich cuts a solid promo back. The match should be good.
EC3 vs Eric Young
A TNA Frontline original versus a Dixieland Original. Kind of nice that it’s at least two TNA guys when push comes to shove.
Eric attacks EC3 as soon as the entrance starts. EC3 tries to turn it around and throw EY in, but EY peppers in strikes and throws EC3 back out. Every time EC3 gets one shot, EY mauls him and gets in rabbit punches, neck snaps and a Chin Lock. EC3 gets to a vertical base, Lariat, Back Elbow, Thesz Press and goes for the 1 Percenter…but EY with the gouge to the eyes. The ref bump isn’t done well, but it’s honestly funny how EC3 forces both EY and ref over the top rope. The match gets thrown out as a No Contest, EC3 swings and misses with the chair, EY wraps the chair around EC3’s head and security separates them before anything crazy happens. But EC3 continues to charge at EY with the chair, EY side steps and EC3 goes into the steps head first with the chair around his neck.
A moronic spot. Who wouldn’t take the chair off before charging? The most telegraphed idiot spot I’ve seen in a minute.

— TNA Wrestling (@ThisIsTNA) April 17, 2026
After the second half of the Undead Realm, the Diamond Collective get out, Mara and Rosemary attack them. A short brawl, until the lights go out again when it looks like the Diamonds have the upper hand. Allie’s new music hits and she comes down to make the save with a Superkick Party and Codebreaker for Tessa. It was only a 20 seconds, but Allie looked better than I’ve ever seen her.
2 on 4 Handicap Match: Leon Slater & Moose vs The System w/Lish
Leon and Cedric start, The System tries to mess with Leon early on, but Leon tags out quickly, Moose takes everyone out, stumbles a little on his Kip Up, but the brawl with Bear Bronson is what we want to see. Myers tries to Spear Moose when he’s distracted but Moose side steps and Myers hits Bronson. Cedric Dives, Moose catches him and Powerbombs him into Bear and Myers. Eddie cuts off Moose but Leon flies over the corner for that everyone waits in a corner spot.
Moose hits Lights Out on Cedric back in the ring but Myers makes the save. Moose gets clipped with the Boston Knee Party thanks to the handicap aspect. Cedric tags out to Bear and Bear mocks Moose’s trucker pull taunt. The crowd fires for Moose so he pops up, Chops, Sunset Flip, but Bear sits on Moose for two!
Eddie gets tagged in, tries to light up Moose with Chops but just pisses him off. Moose turns the tables but then eats the turnbuckles missing a charge. Eddie tags in Myers, Sole Butt from Myers keeps Moose down, Cedric tags in but the System do the Japanese Heel stable thing of the locomotion corner spot. But Moose erupts out of the corner and takes everyone out. Tags out to Leon, Leon throws kicks, Spiderman Rebound Gamengiri, stereo Yakuza Kicks but Bear helps people avoid the High Spot from Leon. Leon keeps the foot on the gas, a few more kicks, Flying Crossbody on Eddie, but only near fall. Eddie thumbs the eye, Blue Thunder Bomb, Elbow Drop from Myers and Frog Splash from Cedric.
Moose makes the save, Eddie dodges the Pump Kick and Moose kills a security guard before hitting a second on Eddie. Leon has counters for everyone else, reverses the Lumbar Check once into a Cradle, but Cedric rolls the Cradle the other way, keeps hold of Leon and hits the Lumbar Check!
Overall Score: 6.5/10
Allie is officially alive again! KC won his match back from injury! Nic is apparently turning babyface while Ryan stays heel, so that’s odd, but also reminiscent of their initial dynamic when we just thought Mokuba was delusional. While the wrestling was nothing to write home about, the show actually kept moving nicely. Lei Ying Lee had a heartfelt promo, Xia avoided a response. Kaz and Elijah are continuing, Daria is doing a great job as the heel GM. Jada also looks great whenever she’s in the ring, she just needs to graduate away from Tasha. Tasha can’t keep up with Jada, and it’s not because Jada is too excited, it’s because Tasha is not a good wrestler.
Ali’s open challenge also allows for fun possibilities. So while it was segment heavy, this was a fun show and aside from being devoid of “quality workrate” matches, it was a good Pro Wrestling episode. Cedric with the main event win is nice too. Look at me…now look at you!

PLAY BY PLAY
Adam Copeland is here!
The fans fire up and sing along as The Rated R Superstar makes his entrance, complete with the pyro but also a black eye. Cope goes to the ring, he grabs a mic, and he tells Seattle, “If you couldn’t tell, Dynasty on Sunday didn’t necessarily go our way. Yes, my face got messed up, way to go, Einstein. I got glue in my forehead, staples in my forehead, I got a shiner. Let’s face it, FTR… They said what they were gonna do and they did it.” The fans boo but Cope says they got to Christian, too, that’s why he’s not here. Christian’s gotta get an MRI on his forearm to see if it’s broke. The fans also boo that.
Cope says FTR gave his wife a piledriver. They took Christian’s watch! And in Christian’s world, that’s actually worse! There are three things you don’t mess with when it comes to Christian: His watch, his wine, and his women. In that order. But FTR, on Dynamite, you came out and said that while you’re the champions, Cope & Cage will not get another title shot. The fans boo again, but Cope says he is cooking an idea on that so bear with him. But if FTR thinks that this is just about titles, that C&C are just gonna walk away cuz they didn’t win at Dynasty, they’ve watched C&C’s careers and think that these two are just gonna walk away?
Do you think that they’re just gonna tuck their tails and run? The fans say “NO!” Cope says that is NOT what they do! Christian was forced to retire for seven YEARS! He busted his ass and he got this back! The fans cheer that, and Cope says he was retired for NINE YEARS, told he can never do this again because if he fell over, he could die! But Cope is standing here, full o’ piss ‘n’ vinegar! C&C are like dogs on a bone, and they will END FTR and take their pound of flesh! The fans cheer, but then FTR makes their way out here. Cope is ready to fight, but where are they? FTR walks out on stage, and Stoke has the mic as he smiles at Cope.
But then RPG VICE rush Cope, just like last week! Cope is ready this time and he fights off Rocky & Trent, but now FTR joins in! The fans boo this 4v1 mugging with Stoke cheering them on! But wait! The Young Bucks rush out here! Matt & Nick Jackson rush the ring, and they dodge FTR to CLOBBER RPG Vice! Then DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for FTR! RPG Vice go after The Bucks, then send them at each other! The Bucks reverse to LARIAT Rocky, then they DOUBLE SUPERKICK Trent! Cope SPEARS Trent down and the fans fire up! Cope snarls as he stands back up, and he shakes hands with The Bucks as thanks for the help.
Cope & The Bucks stare FTR down as FTR retreats, but will The Bucks and C&C have to fight it out to go after those tag team championships?
Jack Perry speaks.
“At Dynasty, I got my first taste of what it’s like to defend this championship. And it’s exactly what I’ve been waiting for. But Don Callis, you only got close enough to get a sniff, because I beat your biggest, baddest and most dangerous, Mark Davis. But after what you just did to the Young Bucks, well, I wanna shove this up your big, stupid, spray-tanned nose. So why don’t you go ahead and pick your favorite goon out of the bunch and meet me next week in Portland so that I can add another notch to my belt as the National Champion.” Jungle Jack has thrown out the challenge, but who will be up to the task?

The Maniac won out, but Nick certainly left a mark. Was this enough to surprise Moxley and perhaps even impress him? Is this a good sign for how Nick Wayne will fair in this year’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors?
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Kazuchika Okada.
Lexy Nair is with The Invisible Hand and The Rainmaker, and brings up that Callis promised Konosuke Takeshita a shot at the AEW International Championship at Double or Nothing if he and Okada got along at Dynasty. Now, given how that match went, is the deal still on? Callis says he looked back at the tape, and it is sad to say, maybe even embarrassing, that Okada & Takeshita did NOT follow the arrangement they discussed. Callis can get Okada out of this, there doesn’t have to be a title match. Okada shakes his head and says he is not going to back down. He wants this match! Okada knows he can beat Takeshita, because Okada is a champion! Unlike Takeshita!
Okada storms off, Callis follows, but will the NJPW World Television Champion prove Okada wrong?
PAC w/ Daniel Garcia VS Lio Rush!
The Death Riders keep on bringing the fight as now The Bastard battles “The Problem Child.” But will Pac rebound for falling short in the Casino Gauntlet? Or will Lio make this Pac’s Final Hour?
The bell rings and Pac paces while Lio mutters to himself, “It is him! It IS him! I told you it was him!” Lio is very Smeagle and Gollum right now as he’s in his own world. “You gotta dig real deep!” Pac tries to get Lio’s attention, but even Pac’s a bit unsettled. Lio goes on and on until Pac stomps him, and Lio stands right up! Pac scrambles back while the fans tell him he messed up! Lio wants a handshake but Garcia coaches Pac to be careful. Pac YANKS Lio at the corner, but Lio stops short! Lio runs back up, but into a SOBAT! Pac is still wary as Lio snarls and shrieks. Pac runs up, Lio dodges, redirects, then dodges Pac!
Pac ducks Lio, back suplexes, but Lio lands out! Lio jumps on Pac to CLAW and BITE him! Pac whips Lio away and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Lio writhes. Pac runs, but Lio bridges up! Lio grins but Pac stomps him down! Cover, ONE! Lio goes Matrix, then mule kicks and ENZIGIRIS! Pac tumbles out but Lio asks, “Where’re you going? Come back!” Lio CLAWS Pac through the ropes! The ref reprimands, Pac gets free, but Lio slithers out as he pursues. Pac is still very worried by this. Lio chases Pac, until he spots Garcia! Then he CLOBBERS Garcia! The fans fire up as Lio CHOKES Garcia!
Pac hurries to BOOT Lio off Garcia and stomps away! Pac digs his boots in, the ref counts, but Pac stops at 4. Lio laughs while Pac leaves him behind. Pac argues with the ref, but that lets Garcia stomp away on Lio! The fans boo but Garcia hurries off. Lio taunts “Danny,” but Pac goes out to drag Lio up. Pac scoops Lio for a TOMBSTONE to the floor! Lio writhes in pain and Garcia says yeah, don’t play those games! Pac rolls into the ring to let the count handle this. Lio drags himself up at 7 of 10 while Collision goes picture in picture.
The count is climbing, but Lio rolls in at 9.5. Pac shakes his head as he storms up on Lio, and he stomps Lio down! Pac CHOKES Lio, but the ref counts and Pac steps off at 4. Pac argues with the ref about how freaky Lio is being, but Lio rises up again! Lio grabs at Pac, but Pac DECKS Lio! Pac looks to the fans as if they know what to make of this. Pac goes after Lio in another corner, whips him corner to corner hard, and Lio tumbles right out of the ring! The ref checks on Lio but Lio’s still conscious. Lio writhes as the ring count climbs again, but he rises at 7 to drag himself in at 8. Pac drags Lio up, headlocks, and he grinds Lio down.
Lio endures as Pac holds on tight, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns again Lio slips under Pac, dodges him, and sends him into buckles! Lio runs up but Pac OVERHEAD SUPLEXES him right into buckles! Lio flops over but Pac goes up the corner. Pac aims as Lio writhes, but Lio springs right up! Lio eggs Pac on with his wild screeching, but Pac hops down. Lio ducks a shot to fire fast hands! Pac tumbles out, and Lio runs up to HANDSPRING KICK Pac down! Lio runs around like the gremlin he’s become, to then DIVE onto Lio! The fans fire up for Lio as he stalks Pac. Lio puts Pac in the ring, but Pac whips. Lio reverses, Pac reverses, but into RUSH HOUR! Cover, TWO!
Lio watches Pac closely, then drags him around into a REAR NAKED CHOKE! Pac endures, then rises up with Lio as a backpack! Pac RAMS Lio into buckles, is free of the hold, but Lio stalks Pac! POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO! Pac survives and Lio is mad at the ref! The ref fears for his life, but Lio hauls Pac up for a STUNNER! Lio holds on, then he grinds the hold. Garcia protests from the apron, but that gets Lio’s attention! The fans chant for Lio to “EAT HIS FACE! EAT HIS FACE!” Garcia freaks out, and he flicks water at him?! Does Garcia think he can exorcise Lio’s demons? Pac GERMAN SUPLEXES Lio, but Lio’s right up!
Lio runs in, but into a SNAP GERMAN! Pac builds speed to LARIAT Lio inside-out! And then he clamps on the BRUTALIZER!! Lio grins, even as he PASSES OUT!! Pac wins!!
Winner: Pac, by submission
The Bastard won, but Lio sure creeped everyone out! Will anyone ever figure out what happened to the Man of the Hour? Will Pac just move on towards a golden opportunity and leave this in the past?
Six Man Tag: Brody King, Mascara Dorada & Mistico VS Ricky Gibson, KC Riff & Colt Rivera!
While their mutual amigo is back home in Mexico, preparing for Supercard of Honor, the King of Death will team with the King of the Ropes and the Talisman of CMLL! Will Brody, Dorada y Mistico hold down the fort for Bandido? Or could Gibson, Riff & Rivera shock the world?
The trios sort out and Riff SHOVES Ricky into Brody, trying to punk the big man out! Ricky tries to apologize, but Brody CHOPS him down! The bell rings, Riff runs up, but Brody CHOPS him down, too! Rivera hesitates, and says he doesn’t want the smoke. Too bad, get in here! Brody THROWS Rivera, he ends up in the corner, and Brody coordinates with Dorada y Mistico. Dorada CHOPS Rivera, Mistico CHOPS Rivera, then Brody DOUBLE CHOPS Rivera! Rivera bails out to regroup with his team, but that lets Mistico DIVE and take them all out! The fans cheer as Mistico sets Rivera up, and Dorada TORNILLOS him down!
The fans fire up as Mistico y Dorada stand back up, and they feed Ricky to Brody’s GONZO BOMB! Cover, Brody and team win!
Winners: Brody King, Mascara Dorada & Mistico, by pinfall
As if anything else was going to happen! Will Brody, Dorada y Mistico blaze a trail to the top of AEW in all divisions?
Kris & Shida regroup backstage.
They’re both feeling good from their win, and Lexy Nair steps in with congratulations. But she also brings up that someone requested this time to talk with them, and it is Mina Shirakawa. Mina steps in, and tells Stat sorry, but she’s specifically here for Shida. Mina tells Shida that uh duh, she knows Japanese, too! So Mina knows exactly what Shida said about Harley. AND a kendo stick was left behind in Toni Storm’s locker room! Mina isn’t sure what Shida is up top, but she does NOT trust her. Oh, is that so? Shida tells “Shirakawa-san” in Japanese that it must be nice to get this far just on looks! Mina is pissed but Kris keeps the peace.
Shida storms off, and Mina tells Kris to not trust Shida. Kris storms off, too, but could Mina have a point? Could Shida have taken out Toni Storm to clear room for herself at the top?
AEW Women’s World Championship: Thekla VS Alex Windsor!
The Toxic Spider took another shortcut to shortchange an opponent when she snuck one on Jamie Hayter at Dynasty. Iron Will Windsor wants to avenge her best mate, but will she make herself a double champion in the process? Or will Thekla take out two Brawling Birds in one week?
The introductions are made, the AEW belt is raised, and we see who survives this Collision!
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. Windsor runs up, Thekla dodges, and Thekla swaggers around. Windsor shrugs that off to try again, but Thekla dodges again. Thekla swaggers her way out of the ring, but Windsor pursues! The cat ‘n’ mouse game goes around the way, and Thekla attacks as Windsor slides in! Thekla whips, Windsor reverses, but Thekla slips around to shove Windsor, only for Windsor to RUN her over! The fans cheer as Windsor keeps after Thekla with a rain of fists! Windsor then stands Thekla up to CHOP against the ropes! Windsor whips Thekla to ropes, but Thekla bails out!
Thekla ducks a shot to ROCK Windsor, then she climbs up as the fans rally. Thekla leaps, but Windsor gets clear! Windsor runs up, and she LARIATS Thekla down! The fans fire up while Thekla is dazed, but Windsor hauls Thekla up for a suplex! The fans duel as Windsor aims, and she runs up again, to wrench and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Then a BASEMENT LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Thekla survives but Windsor keeps on her. Thekla kicks and flails to make the ROPEBREAK, and Windsor lets go. Thekla bails out again, but Windsor goes to the apron. Thekla runs away, denying Windsor her aerial attack.
Windsor just changes course, kicks, but Thekla blocks! Thekla YANKS Windsor down, then steps back inside. Thekla runs up on Windsor to BOOT her to the floor! Windsor tumbles but Thekla grins as the fans duel. Thekla goes up the corner now, and she aims at Windsor for a SUPER DUPER CROSSBODY! Direct hit and down goes Windsor! Thekla grins again while Collision goes picture in picture.
Thekla taunts Windsor before she drags her up. Thekla then THROWS Windsor into railing! Windsor sputters and writhes but Thekla refreshes the ring count. Thekla then drags Windsor up, makes her take a seat, then climbs up to rain down fists! The fans count along, and Thekla goes all the way to TEN! Or maybe “zehn?” Either way, Thekla reels Windsor in, only for Windsor to RAM her into the railing! Windsor fires off fists, then climbs up to rain them down! Windsor definitely goes to TEN, then brings Thekla around to whip hard into the apron! Windsor CHOPS Thekla, but Thekla whips Windsor into barriers!
Windsor falls in a heap, and Thekla soaks up the cheers and jeers. The ref wants this back in the ring so Thekla leaves Windsor behind for the count. Windsor slowly rises up, and she rolls into the ring at 8. Thekla CLUBS Windsor down, steps on her face, but steps off as the ref counts. Thekla then drops onto Windsor for the CROSSFACE! Windsor endures, fights up and around, but Thekla lets go to CLUB Windsor. Windsor fires body shots in return and backs Thekla to a corner. Windsor runs up, but Thekla ROCKS her! Thekla then BOOTS Windsor, reels her in, and has the HANGING HEADSCISSORS as Spring Breakthru returns to single picture!
The ref counts, Thekla lets go at 4, and the fans duel as Thekla storms back in. Thekla snapmares Windsor, then winds up to basement SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Windsor survives but Thekla is amused. Thekla storms up on Windsor and CHOPS! The fans cheer as Theknla shots, “Women’s Wrestling!” Thekla CHOPS again, then whips corner to corner, only for Windsor to block! Thekla fires shots on Windsor, but Windsor blocks the whip again! Thekla stomps a foot, then whips Windsor, but Windsor reverses and LARIATS! Then Windsor get moving, ducks ‘n’ dodges, redirects, and FLYING SHOULDER TACKLES!
The fans fire up while both are down. Windsor rises up, she has the legs, but Thekla kicks and kicks and kicks again! Windsor staggers, but she dodges to scoop and BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO! Thekla survives but Windsor stays focused. Windsor hauls Thekla up, clinches, but Thekla fights the lift! Thekla CLUBS Windsor, ROCKS her, but Windsor shakes it off with a smile. Thekla gets in Windsor’s face, then ROCKS her! Windsor walks it off, to then fire off a flurry! The fans cheer, but Thekla dodges one to SMACK Windsor again! But Windsor blocks the next to HEADBUTT! Thekla falls, Windsor gets the legs, SHARPSHOOTER!
The fans fire up as Thekla endures! Windsor sits deep on the hold, but Thekla fights her way forward! ROPEBREAK! Windsor lets go in frustration, but she drags Thekla back up. Pump handle and- NO, Thekla still fights the lift! Thekla ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, BLACK WIDOW STRETCH! Windsor endures the modified octopus, but she powers up to reach out! ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer while Thekla lets go in frustration. Thekla hauls Windsor back up, but Windsor breaks free, only for Thekla to SOBAT! Thekla runs, but Windsor LARIATS her down! The fans fire up while both women are down again!
Windsor rises, the fans rally, and Windsor goes up! But Thekla hurries to SMACK Windsor! Thekla climbs, but Windsor fights with body shots! “This is Awesome!” as Windsor HAMMERS away on Thekla! Thekla CLAWS Windsor’s face, then sneaks the brass knuckles out! But Windsor blocks the punch to HEADBUTT! Windsor goes up, over, and SUNSET FLIP- NO, Thekla holds on! BRASS KNUCKLE PUNCH!!! The fans boo as Thekla hides her evidence! Thekla then runs up, CURB STOMP!! Cover, Thekla wins!
Winner: Thekla, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)
Another fight, another dirty tactic! But in the end, even Windsor fell into the Toxic Spider’s trap! Will anyone ever get wise to Thekla’s tricks? Or will AEW always be toxic?
