PLAY BY PLAY
Roxanne Perez is in the ring!
The winner of the inaugural Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge is here to say thanks to the fans, but then a car horn blares. The Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge winner, Grayson Waller, is here. He wants all the attention as he shows up. Waller gets a mic and goes to the perch to show everyone “a real superstar!” Waller says it is very difficult in the WWE to do something for the first-time, let alone make it look as easy as he does. But that’s what he does! He makes history! NXT Deadline, the biggest event in history- GRAYSON!! Roxie tells him to shut his mouth. Waller asks who said that! Oh, there she is!
Oh, really funny. Roxie isn’t sure if Waller forgot, but he wasn’t the only Iron Survivor on Saturday. Yes, he won, props to him, but she won first. Oh, and unlike Waller, she did it from the number one spot. Aw, Roxie, Booker T’s favorite wrestler. She’s growing up so fast, it’s adorable. But the reason she was first was so she could get home before bedtime. Mom was reading her a bedtime story as Waller was out with the biggest reality stars there are! BTW, shoutout to Marty Bananas. Anyway, Roxie is right about one thing: that was the biggest win of both their careers. Which is sad cuz she’s peaked at 21, cuz she ain’t ever beating Mandy!
But here come Bron Breakker! Fans bark it up and Bron says Waller is wrong. Roxie is THE Iron Woman of NXT. She went the FULL 25 minutes and outlasted some of the best women NXT has to offer. And we can all agree that we just don’t give a damn what Waller thinks! Roxie Perez is the future NXT Women’s Champion! Waller says, “WRONG!” Fans chant for Roxie but Waller doesn’t care what they think. And “Bronathon,” how does that jaw feel? Yes, Roxie won, but she didn’t understand the game. It isn’t about minutes but falls. Waller got two falls in his first 20 seconds! And at New Year’s Evil, Waller outsmarts Bron and takes the title from him,
“Cuz they’re all about making memories while Grayson Waller’s all about making moments!” Bron says in that case, they can make a moment right now! Bron storms out and chases Waller up the bleachers! Roxie smiles, but Mandy CLOBBERS her from behind! Mandy says she’s the Baddest Bitch in the game, and Roxie will never be champion! But with that cheap shot, is it a sign The Toxic Goddess fears the Prodigy?
JD McDonagh gets checked by NXT medical.
The trainer has the results here. JD takes a guess: slight discoloration and swelling in the right orbital socket caused by an abrasion rather than a concussive blow; athlete should be cleared to compete as tolerated. Yes, that is correct. Good. The Irish Ace hears the Creeds checking in again. Is it the leg or the ribs? No, they’re all fine. But JD knows that. Julius doesn’t care what anyone says, he and Brutus were good to go against Indus Sher at Deadline, but JD did that stupid stuff to Julius’ knee and now medical won’t leave him alone. Then he saved them from a beating! Oh, JD is so calm, cool and collected. Well since he tried to hurt Julius, Brutus will hurt him
JD is fascinated by the familial bond and the dependency. He couldn’t wrap his head around it, but oh well. JD exits, will Brutus SMASH what is left of the Necessary Evil?
NXT returns to the ring as Roxie shouts!
“MANDY! MANDY!” Roxie drags herself up and says, “You think you’re the Baddest Bitch in the Game? Well I don’t wanna wait until New Year’s Evil. Put your title on the line, TONIGHT!” Mandy smirks and says if that’s what Roxie wants, she’ll get it. The challenge is accepted and New Year’s comes early! But will Mandy retain her title after getting the drop on Roxie? Or will the Toxic Goddess’ ego finally be her undoing?

Is Duke entering the transfer portal?! Thea has a freak out but Chase asks if this is about him losing his cool. He is sorry, he was wrong, Duke was right. Oh, sorry, Duke’s hard of hearing in this ear from all that yelling. Could Chase say that again? Chase was wrong, Duke was right. Chase loves Thea’s passion, but she wasn’t ready for Isla Dawn. Duke had her best interests in mind. Thea says that’s great, but he can’t transfer! No, he’s not transferring. He has a lot to learn, and maybe some to teach.

She’s talking with Papa Henley, and hopes there’s something she can do. Meanwhile, Josh Briggs is doing his best to help Brooks Jensen pick out a shirt. Jensen of course wants to impress Kiana James, but Briggs asks Fallon how her dad is doing. He’s doing alright, but it’s going to be a tough year because of the bar. Things just aren’t going her way. Losing the Triple Threat and now this. Briggs says it’ll be fine, they’ve got her back. They group hug and Jensen says their luck is going to change. 2023 will be their year! They get Fallon to smile, but will things really look up after the holidays?
Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams hang out in the back.
They’re looking at Trick’s phone, admiring pictures of the one and only Angela Bassett. Black don’t crack. But then Trick gets a look at his Twitter feed. Why are they talking about Melo missing on Saturday? Melo says to not listen to the internet, they don’t know what they’re saying! Melo didn’t miss, he just didn’t win. If this Iron Survivor Challenge was 30 minutes and not 25, Melo would’ve had that in the bag! He’d be opening NXT, going to New Year’s Evil, winning the title and taking NXT on the road to Charlotte for Vengeance Day! It doesn’t matter which way you flip it, Melo is still Him. And also the one being posterized by Axiom.
Melo sees the stills and is NOT happy. Even Trick is amazed. Heck, zoom in, Melo looks amazed! Aw man… That’s not a good look. But Trick Melo Gang ain’t going down like this! Melo tells Trick to delete that while he goes and deletes Axiom! Bro, it’s on Twitter. But will Melo not miss this time? Or will the Undeniable Truth be as unstoppable as that meme?
Odyssey Jones w/ Malik Blade & Edris Enofe VS Von Wagner w/ Robert Stone!
#SoundTheAlarm, this is going to be huge! Will Odyssey get some semblance of revenge for Malik’s heirloom that Von viciously destroyed? Or will this still be Wagner’s World, and everyone else is just living in it?

Jones nods, Von runs, they RAM again and Jones still doesn’t budge! Von RAMS Jones again and he’s the one who bounces off! Von sets up in a three point stance, so Jones returns the favor! Just like drills in football, they run in, Jones CHOP BLOCKS Von! Then scoops and SLAMS him! Von bails to the apron, Jones DECKS him! Fans rally for Jones but Von brings him into the rope to ROCK him!
Von climbs a corner, leaps, and he CLOBBERS Jones! Von kicks Jones around, CLUBS him, HEADBUTTS him, then runs to BOOT Jones down! Jones sits up in a daze but Von aims again.

#SoundTheAlarm, because Jones just won big! They get even on behalf of Malik’s father, will Jones, Malik & Edris soon be on top of the world?
Backstage interview with Javier Bernal.
McKenzie Mitchell is again interviewing “Big Body Javi,” and in just moments, he takes on Ikemen Jiro. Full transparency, McKenzie is Team Jiro. Ouch! That man called him a Big Body Chicken on television! McKenzie cracks up laughing and Javi says that’s not funny! Alright, look, 99% of the time, McKenzie is unbiased. But who doesn’t love Jiro? Uh, Javi doesn’t! But how ironic that Javi is her 1 outta 100, cuz he is one of a kind! And tonight, he proves it to his Big Body Bandits! His what? His fans. Not a good nickname? Okay, fine! Big Body Ballers! Javi, you are anything but baller. She’s right. He is a man of the people! Big Body Bulldogs!
Like the Georgia Bulldogs? Well how else do you think they ran the table and became the #1 seed in the nation? JAVI! So he has to go, he can’t leave the Big Body Believers waiting. The what? YES! That’s the name! Big Body Believers! He likes that! No one believes in Javi. But will Javi’s belief in himself be all he needs?
Javier Bernal VS Ikemen Jiro!
Everyone believes in Big Body Javi, according to Big Body Javi. But will Javi have his beliefs questioned going against the Style Strong Handsome Jiro?

Jiro fires up and hits a SPINNING JACKET PUNCH!! Jiro runs but Javi elbows him back! Javi goes up the corner, but Jiro GAMANGIRIS! Jiro climbs for a SUPER STEINER! Fans fire up as Jiro takes aim from the corner. IKEMEN SLICE!! Cover, Jiro wins!
Winner: Ikemen Jiro, by pinfall
The Handsome One is back on top! But then SCRYPTS flies in outta nowhere! He takes Jiro off the corner, rains down fists, and then drags the jacket off to wear it himself! Inside out, even! Scrypts then goes up top, to SOMERSAULT SEATED SENTON!! Fans boo but Scrypts has written the next chapter of his NXT journey! Will he make Jiro a footnote in the future of this brand?
Wendy Choo speaks.
“I was so anxious watching the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge. Because honestly, I didn’t want Cora jade to win, And when the time ran out on her, whew, I was so relieved. Because good things shouldn’t happen to bad people like Cora Jade. What she did to me a few weeks back, it really took me to a dark place. I know I’ve thrown a drink in a face or two, but there’s a method to old Wacky Wendy. I only do it to people who deserve it, if they’re being mean or being degrading to others.
“Because when I was younger, I used to have friends who were just like Cora Jade. And I was invited to my very first slumber party, and I forgot to bring an extra set of clothes. But it didn’t matter anyway, because I was just so excited And then there was this one girl who thought it would be funny to throw a drink at me. I was so embarrassed. You know that feeling where you just want everyone to like you instead of just pointing and mocking you? When Cora threw that drink in my face, it just brought me back to that moment again where I wished I was invisible. I felt like I was two inches tall. And I never wanna feel like that ever again.”
The New Day is here!
Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods are the NEW NXT Tag Team Champions after taking on Pretty Deadly at Deadline, and fans chant, “NEW DAY~ ROCKS! NEW DAY~ ROCKS!” Woods says, “Ladies and gentlemen! It’s ya bois, the NEW~ DAY~! And we are your new, W, W, E, N, X, T, World, Tag, Team, CHAMPIONS~!” Kofi says “AKA, your Tag Team Triple Crowners, BABYYY~!” Fans chant “TRIPLE CROWN!” The New Day get in the ring. Woods says Kofi is racking up accolades like crazy! He is the first-ever WWE singles AND tag team Triple Crowner!
Fans chant for Kofi, and Woods says “And, he has now set the record for the man with the most tag team title reigns in the company at FIFTEEN REIGNS!” Fans chant even more but Kofi says he wasn’t gonna say anything because Booker will just get saltier. But yes he is! He is a FIFTEEN TIME TAG TEAM CHAMPION! And boy does it feel good!! Fans chant, “You Deserve It!” Kofi appreciates that. But as special as this moment was for Kofi, it is even more special for Woods. Fans chant for Woods now, and he says it is full circle. He was here in NXT ten years ago when it started! He actually had the first NXT match ever!
And who was it against? Who who who? Funny enough, Big E! Fans cheer for “BIG E! BIG E!” Woods says he was also the first graduate of the Performance Center and he went to Raw, but there has always been something that didn’t sit right. It was that Woods never had the chance to hold an NXT title. “BUT LOOK AT YA BOI NOW!!” They have hella reasons to celebrate, so let’s get to it! Hit the music! Wait, that’s Pretty Deadly’s music! Because here comes Pretty Deadly! And Kit Wilson is shouting, “NO! NO! NO! NO! NO BOYS!” Elton says to cease the absolute nonsense IMMEDIATELY!
The New Day have ruined everything! RUINED IT! They took Pretty Deadly’s titles and ruined their Christmas! Hey! New Day would never ruin Christmas! Especially with Santa in attendance! Fans cheer for Santa! Woods tells Pretty Deadly to listen. They all know Kit & Elton had a horrible week. First, England gets kicked outta the World Cup! That thing ain’t coming home any time soon. And then Kit & Elton lost the tag titles to the New Day! And Kofi out-twerked Elton. Fans chant, “NEW! DAY ROCKS!” Kofi says they’re here celebrating, but Elton shouts over it. Stop talking, they’re here to ask for a rematch.
Oh, rematch? Of course! Luckily, the New Day is all about it! Saturday, they made magic in this ring. And no BS, Kofi’s been telling everyone that Pretty Deadly are incredibly talented individuals and an even greater team, and that Pretty Deadly will have great things in the future. Thanks so much, Kofi! B-b-b-b-b-b-but! BUT! BUT! One small thing that the New Day needs from Pretty Deadly. Sure, anything. They need to recite the Pledge of Allegiance! What?! They’re English! Well do it right here and they’ll get their shot. But then the good ol’ boys, Briggs & Jensen walk out, with Ol’ Glory even!
Fans fire up as Jensen & Briggs snatch the mics from Pretty Deadly. Then they say congrats to the New Day. But they were overhearing what was going on, and uh, if they’re giving title shots to those who can recite the Pledge of Allegiance, then count them in! Let’s go, everyone together! Hands on hearts, one, two, three. “I pledge allegiance, to the flag, of the United States of America. And to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all!” U S A! U S A! Pretty Deadly is upset, but Kofi says that was amazing. So as promised, they can go talk to the management, and get a match for Briggs & Jensen.
As for Pretty Deadly, they can see how much easier life is when they just do as the New Day asks. Jensen, Briggs, see you next week. It’s a date, boys! The celebration rolls on to the back, will the New Day have a match with the country boys and do it for America?
Elektra Lopez, Lash Legend, and others get their hair touched up backstage.
Lash tells Lopez is looking good. And of course Lash does. The Iron Survivor Challenge was great stuff, and a few were cheering on Indi Hartwell. Lopez has everyone hold up. What has she been telling them all about Indi? She might get in the big matches, but she never wins them. And love her or hate her, everyone knows if Lopez was in it, she would’ve won it. But then Indi BOOTS Lopez down! Indi says this is what Lopez gets for running her mouth! Everyone else pulls Indi off Lopez but Lopez comes back for more! It’s chaos backstage, but will Indi and Lopez settle their score in the ring?
JD McDonagh VS Brutus Creed w/ Julius Creed!
The Irish Ace is still sporting the bruises from the Iron Survivor Challenge, but he isn’t going to let that stop him. Will JD dissect another part of the Diamond Mine? Or will he get SMASHED by the Diamond Brute?
NXT returns as the Creeds make their entrance. The bell rings, JD and Brutus circle, and they tie up. Brutus powers JD to a corner but JD goes up the ropes. The ref counts, Brutus lets off and JD leaps to a flying headlock takeover! Fans fire up for that exchange, but Brutus powers up and powers out. JD ROCKS Brutus- Er, well, he hit Brutus with a forearm but Brutus just shakes it off! JD runs to try again, but Brutus still stands up. JD CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS! Then he whips and DROPKICKS, but Brutus stays up! Brutus CLOBBERS JD with double ax handles! JD gest to a corner, Brutus bear crawls and CLOBBERS JD!

Brutus runs in, JD dodges to send him into buckles! JD then dumps Brutus back out to PENALTY KICK him, too! Fans duel as JD goes looking under the ring. JD finds a chair and brings it out! The ref reprimands, but then Sanga snatches the chair away! Where’d Indus Sher come from?!
Sanga & Veer have said they want the Creeds at 100%, no less, so they won’t let JD do more damage. JD says okay, and he backs away. But then Brutus runs in! JD dodges to send Brutus into barriers! JD hits DEVLINSIDE on the floor! Brutus crawls, JD puts him in the ring. JD says this is done, and he DEVLINSIDES again!! Cover, JD wins!
Winner: JD McDonagh, by pinfall
The Necessary Evil stuck to what was necessary, and he got the win. But did he do more than enough damage to delay Diamond Mine VS Indus Sher another week?
Backstage interview with Zoey Stark.
McKenzie says Stark fought hard in the Iron Survivor Challenge but still didn’t win. But what are her thoughts on Nikkita Lyons posting a reaction vid to her TikTok? Seriously? We’re talking about TikTok on Stark’s time? We’re paying attention to clout chasers like Lyons? Nikkita couldn’t hang for ten minutes, let alone 25, unlike Stark at Deadline. Stark’s reaction is this: Nikkita is a waste of roster space! Stark didn’t wanna wrestle Lyons, she was saving her from herself! But y’know what? Stark has changed her mind. Get Lyons in the ring, let her bring her reactions and dances, and Stark will bring real talent.
Isla Dawn speaks.
“Alba Fyre. Oh, you began to see at Deadline that you’re no longer struggling against mortals. The spirits have summoned an ethereal being into this realm, and your suffering may appear to have ended. Oh, but the longest night of the year is coming. In preparation for the Winter Solstice next week, I have called on the spirits to lend me their strength with these elements. The black mist, the something powerful. In it’s powdered form, this compound is even more pure. Under its influence, anything can happen.” Footage plays and shows the very moment she triggered in in the referee!
“The Unholy Enchantress shall rise during the Winter Solstice, and the darkness of night will consume Alba Fyre as she waits for the light to return.” Is the Wicked Witch of NXT about to extinguish Alba Fyre once and for all?
Lyra Valkyria VS Amari Miller!
Like the Morrigan, she has transformed! No longer Aoife Valkyrie, this is Lyra Valkyria! Will this new form prove to be faster and stronger and allow her to finally fly to the top of the mountain?
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, go around, and Lyra throws Amari down! Cover, ONE! Lyra eggs Amari on, they tie up again, and they go around again. Lyra grinds an arm, wrenches to a wristlock, but Amari uses some double-jointedness to slip around and headlock back! Lyra powers up but Amari holds on. Lyra powers out and things speed up. Lyra hurdles, Amari slides, but Lyra ENZIGURIS Amari out of the ring! Fans fire up and Lyra builds speed to WRECK Amari with the dropkick! Fans fire up as Lyra roars and then goes out after Amari. Lyra drags Amari up, puts her in the ring, and stalks her to the other side.
Lyra whips but Amari blocks. Lyra tries again but Amari elbows back. Amari storms up and bumps Lyra off buckles! And dribbles her off buckles, too! Amari cools off as the ref counts, then she whips, but Lyra reverses, SOBATS, KICKS and HEADBUTTS! AX KICK and then a NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Fans rally up as Lyra whips Amari to a corner hard! Lyra runs in, Amari dodges, but Lyra comes back, only for Amari to sweep the legs! SENTON! Cover, TWO! Amari paces while fans rally up. Amari spins but Lyra blocks the kick to HEEL KICK back! Lyra goes to the corner and climbs up! FROG SPLASH! Cover, Lyra wins!
Winner: Lyra Valkyria, by pinfall
Lyra’s new wings have carried her across the sea and now she’s here in NXT! Will Lyra continue to win until she reigns over the brand?
Backstage interview with Axiom.
McKenzie says many believe Axiom stole the show at Deadline, and points out Melo’s reaction to the highlight of Axiom literally jumping over him. They have a match next week, what are Axiom’s thoughts? Axiom says that he is very nervous, as you can tell. Oh, really? He’s kidding! But Melo, as great as he thinks he is, is not. So Axiom is not afraid. Look into his eyes. Where are they…? Don’t worry, he can see her. But he wants us all to know that when he gets in that ring, he fears no one. McKenzie will take his word for it. Axiom says after he beats Melo 1v1, he’ll look just like this: a huge smile on his face.
Kiana James calls over to Brooks Jensen.
He gets nervous and asks if she’s really talking to him. Is there another Brooks Jensen? Well, there’s this one guy named “Brooks” in catering so… Kiana doesn’t care. She sees Jensen walking around like a lost dog. Shouldn’t he be happy he has a tag title match next week? Yes, ma’am, he is happy. But he’s just… worried about Fallon. What’s wrong with her? Well, the family’s having some problems, he doesn’t wanna get into it. Kiana calls Gina over and she has a present box. Call it an early Christmas present. Really? He opens it up, and it’s a dress shirt that is actually his size! She was able to size him up with one look. If he’s gonna become champion again, he should look like one.
Jensen thanks Kiana. And sorry for earlier. Fallon’s family is dealing with financial problems and he isn’t sure how to help. But surely they’ll figure it out. Yes, sure they will. Just focus on what you can control. In this case, winning those tag team titles. Then everything else will work itself out. Jensen thanks Kiana for the advice, she heads out, and then we see KC Squared square off with Diamond Mine’s Ivy & Tatum! They argue about what happened out there, but then Toxic Attraction rushes them both! The refs have to hurry in to stop another huge brawl! What will it take to settle the score?
Damon Kemp VS Duke Hudson w/ Chase U!
The Golden Gopher told Drew Gulak to watch this match closely to learn what true technical skill looks like.

My Thoughts:
A really good NXT that got great at the end. I did not think they’d pull the trigger on a new champion on the NXT after Deadline. Mandy VS Roxie was really good match, both have had a really good 2022, and this makes for quite the big surprise that Mandy lost. But it was also good timing as Gigi & Jacy were nowhere to be found after everything going on with their tag title story. We got a pretty good start of a match between them and Diamond Mine, but with KC Squared ringside, there were going to be shenanigans. Great brawl to end that match, and great second brawl during the backstage promos.
Speaking of those promos, I like the progress we’re making in the story for Fallon, Kiana and the boys. Fallon’s family facing financial troubles now gives Kiana something to exploit to get the bar, even though she was rather nice and encouraging to Jensen. The New Day had a great promo, and Pretty Deadly joining in was great. And what a hilarious way to block them from having a rematch. Briggs & Jensen get the shot instead, and that is going to be a fun match. I would think The New Day retains the titles, their first reign as NXT Tag Team Champions can’t end so quickly. Maybe they put Pretty Deadly over in the rematch at New Year’s Evil so that the New Day can then shift to the Royal Rumble and Pretty Deadly carry the belts to Vengeance Day.
Really good opening promo from Roxie, Waller, and Bron. I almost thought we were going to get a mixed tag main event between the Heels and Faces to hype up the title matches. Obviously that changed with Roxie and Mandy, but Bron VS Waller definitely waits until New Year’s Evil. I’m a bit surprised we didn’t get more from Bron and Waller, but maybe next week they have another promo to further hype things up. But we all know Waller isn’t winning, he’s just more fodder while they still build Melo up, even though I think he’s been ready since before Deadline. Great promos from Melo and Axiom, and they’re going to have an awesome 1v1 match.
Really good stuff from Wes and Stacks, and of course Wes wins. Dijak gets to show up but he doesn’t get to do anything after Tony knocks down Wes. I’m still sensing Dijak VS Tony fight to determine a #1 contender for the North American Championship, and that match can happen at New Year’s Evil. Either that or a Triple Threat. Either way, it’d be a shame if Wes loses his first defense, so he has to find a way to win, even if it’s against Dijak. Really good match between Jones and Von, for being short. Malik getting a part to play was good stuff, too, and I guess this counts as a blow-off.
Good promo from Wendy, but the use of that like stock footage was kinda weird. Clearly, Wendy and Cora are far from done with each other. Zoey had a good promo to call out Lyons, and they’re going to have a great match of their own. Isla Dawn had a good promo, and I guess her winning at Deadline isn’t enough for her. I have a feeling they’re going to have a Lights Out/World of Darkness match in the rematch. Really good backstage promo to set up Indi going after Lopez, and that match is also going to be great stuff. And really good return victory for Aoife, now Lyra. Maybe now she can finally build her way up to being a title contender, perhaps going for the belt by the summer.
Really good stuff out of Chase U. Gulak talking with Duke is a nice twist to both their stories, and Duke got a great win over Kemp. Gulak could end up recruiting Duke to some kind of stable, even though Kemp fits more with the technical style. Dempsey should also get in on this, we might end up with a tag team situation at some point where Duke and Chase team up, and then Duke has to decide if he really IS Chase U for life or wants to join up Gulak’s Catch Point 2.0. Well, I think Duke will stay loyal, and Catch Point 2.0 will be Gulak, Dempsey and Kemp.
Big Body Javi is hilarious, and quickly becoming a great Heel. His match with Jiro was a lot of fun, but I had a feeling Jiro would win. Javi probably won’t be humbled by that, which will in itself be hilarious. But Scrypts going after Jiro was not something I expected given his promo about “the chosen ones.” Not to be mean to Jiro, but Jiro stopped getting a push after he and Kushida ran into Von Wagner and then Kushida left NXT. But I will say that Scrypts’ new ring gear looks great, and furthers my thinking that he’ll end up in a feud with Axiom soon.
And great stuff from JD with the Creeds. Great match from JD and Brutus, and of course Indus Sher stop the chair shot to Brutus. I’m not sure why JD is in this story unless Roderick Strong returns and we get a Six Man Tag of Diamond Mine VS JD & Indus Sher, even though I don’t think that makes sense. Indus Sher are playing great Tweeners being brutal in the ring but still honorable. And depending on who has the tag titles going towards Vengeance Day, I would love to see Indus Sher get that title shot as NXT goes on the road.
My Score: 8.6/10

Winner: Andrade El Idolo, by pinfall (NEW IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion)
An instant classic and an absolute shocker at the same time as Andrade has his revenge! Yota went from two belts to none, what will his journey of redemption look like?
As for Andrade, Tanahashi presents him with the belt, and Andrade holds it high. This is not only a win for the United Empire, but a win for AEW and the Don Callis Family. Andrade grabs a mic to say, “I did it.” The fans applaud, and Andrade continues by saying, “I wanna say thank you. Yota Tsuji is good, he’s an amazing talent, but Andrade El Idolo was better tonight.” The fans applaud again, and Andrade says he knows many know he is an AEW talent, but this title is NJPW’s. So Andrade will now officially be working in both companies, both companies are in his blood. And he wants to thank everyone here in Japan for watching.
Andrade says he now has a question, and it is a simple one: Who wants to challenge him? The fans applaud, and Andrade drops the mic. Andrade holds up the belt again, but wait! Stepping out in a nice suit is Drilla Moloney. But then Shota Umino is also here, still in ring gear. Andrade likes where this is going as the two challengers talk on stage. 44 Caliber and Roughneck both go to the ring, and Andrade asks if they heard what he said. So Drilla wants this title? And Shota wants it, too? Then he has an idea.
If they want this title, HIS title, why not this just be a Triple Threat for the Global Heavyweight Championship? Just say where, when, and what time. Then The RRRREAL~ Latino Man will be there! The fans cheer as Andrade is already raising the bar on this belt! Andrade says just call and he’ll be there. Andrade tells the fans, “Arigato!” The fans cheer, but will Andrade regret stacking the odds for his first defense? When and where will we see this shootout happen?
My Thoughts:
A great start to the Wrestling Dontaku double event, and quite the surprising result for the main event. While House of Torture shenanigans were 1000% expected for Narita VS Oleg, that was still a great match. But at the same time, as great as Oleg is, he was not going to become a TRIPLE champion between the NJPW Strong and both NEVER Openweight titles. Aaron Wolf stepping up to Ren is good stuff, but seriously, can Tanahashi use his authority to put ringside bans up? It’s actually bad kayfabe logic from management to not see that as an option.
But as I was saying, amazing main event, and Yota losing is pretty wild. I suppose even if this was Yota Tsuji VS Gabe Kidd, Gabe winning would’ve worked in story, too, positioning this title as a crossover title between NJPW and AEW. Yota’s story of making a comeback will be an intriguing one. Perhaps he uses the G1 Climax as his road back. As for Andrade being up for the Triple Threat with Shota and Drilla, that’s pretty cool, too. I don’t see Andrade losing his first defense, but a Triple Threat is a classic way to keep all parts strong no matter the result.
My Score: 8.9/10

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall (still AEW TBS Champion)
Anna sure put up a fight, but Willow is 4-0 as the Comeback Killer! Willow helps Anna to her feet to show there is respect here, and they also hug it out. But will no one, no matter who they are or what they’ve been up to, dethrone the Face of TBS?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO! Harley acts surprised, and sarcastically asks if Shida is really allowing herself to wrestle someone not on her level. Can she even talk to someone “not” on her level or what? How does this work? Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match? Mina apologizes to Harley, Harley says she has no idea what to say, but will the Wild Aussie & Fighting Gravure Idol let their actions speak for them against #Shidalander?
Ace Austin & Juice Robinson VS Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia!
The Bang Bang Gang has been struggling to stay afloat, and now they go up against The Death Riders’ Decoder & Dragon Slayer! Will Yuta & Garcia keep the momentum going from what Moxley and the others did earlier tonight? Or can these Collision Cowboys ride off into the Peoria sunset with a win?
Moxley joins commentary for this match, and he admits that 10 Man Tag was a tornado of a match, where you just hang out, pray, and trust your skills to see you through. The teams sort out and Juice starts against Yuta. They circle, Juice tests the ropes, then feel things out. The fans cheer Juice, but Yuta BLASTS Ace!

Tag to Garcia, Garcia brings Ace up and bumps him off buckles, then Collision goes picture in picture.
Garcia climbs up, he rains down fists, stops at nine and puts up his dukes. But no dancing here, he just hops down to bump Ace off buckles. Garcia scoops and SLAMS Ace, then tags Yuta. Yuta climbs up to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Ace is tougher than that, but Yuta clamps on with a chinlock. Ace reaches out but Yuta clamps on a straitjacket. Yuta grinds his forearm into Ace, but Ace fights up to fire body shots. Yuta ripcords Ace to ELBOW him down! Tag to Garcia, they stomp away, but the ref reprimands. Yuta stops at 4, but Garcia stands on Ace at the ropes! Garcia stomps away, stops at 4, then taunts Juice.
Yuta gets a cheap shot in while the ref holds Juice back. Garcia bumps Ace off buckles, but the ref backs him off. That lets Yuta DUMP Ace out, and Marina is again there to cause problems! Yuta puts Ace back in, high-fives and fist bumps Marina, and Garcia stands on Ace! The ref counts, Garcia counts along, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as the Death Riders continue to mug Ace. They shove him to the corner, then Garcia sends Yuta in for the BODY BLOCK! Garcia LARIATS, Yuta ELBOWS, repeat! The Cycle of Violence continues until Ace BOOTS Yuta and ELBOWS Garcia! The fans fire up as Ace hurries, but the Death Riders THROW him back! And they BLAST Juice together! Then they DOUBLE SHOTGUN Ace down! Marina & Moxley love it but they’re the only ones. Garcia reels Ace into a PERUVIAN NECKTIE! The fans boo, but Juice rises up. Ace reaches out, pries free, and has the ROPEBREAK! Garcia drags Ace back up but Ace fires body shots!

Juice LARIATS Garcia back out, then ELBOWS Yuta down! SENTON!
The fans fire up for Juice, and he CROSSBODIES Garcia down! Juice talks trash on Moxley, but Garica throat chops him! Moxley says keep your eye on the ball. Yuta DIVES, but Juice uses Garcia as a shield! the fans cheer the friendly fire, and Jucie SMACKS Yuta off the desk! Yuta is busted right open! Juice fires up, the fans pump it up with him, and Juice JABS! JABS! JABS! “JUICE! JUICE! JUICE!” Garcia gets up, but he gets the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Yuta runs up, but Juice JABS, JABS, JABS! Marina gets up, and Juice thinks about it. But Yuta rolls Juice up! TWO and Yuta bumps into Marina! The fans cheer as Juice then O’Conner Rolls, TWO!
Juice staggers, comes back, and LEG LARIATS Yuta down! Cover, Garcia breaks it in time! The fans boo but Ace is in! Ace ROCKS Garcia, KNEES, KICKS, and runs up in the corner! Garcia BOOTS Ace, then DUMPS him out! Juice whips Yuta, but Yuta sunset flips! Rewind into Garcia’s PILEDRIVER!! Yuta goes up, Garcia positions Juice just right, FASTBALL SPECIAL!! Cover, TWO!! Moxley is frustrated for his guys, and Yuta snarls through his crimson mask! Yuta aims, BUSAI- NO, Juice ducks the knee! But Garcia SHOTGUNS! But Ace FLYING CHUCKS! Yuta wrenches Ace, RIGHT ANGLE SLAM!
Yuta fires up, he brings Juice around, but Juice hits the LEFT HAND O’ GOD! Then the JUICE BOX!! Cover, BANG BANG GANG WINS!
Winners: Ace Austin & Juice Robinson, by pinfall
Moxley is honestly stunned, but he admits that was good stuff. Saturday nights are alright for a fight, and Garcia CLOBBERS Juice! Yuta LOW BLOWS Ace! The Death Riders are sore losers, Moxley says you don’t go calling him out and get away with it. Garcia CHOKES Juice, Yuta stomps Ace, but “GUNNS UP!” YES, Austin & Colten Gunn are both back! And they rush in to CLOBBER the Death Riders! They fire off on Moxley, but Yuta 7 Garcia come back for more! The Gunns DECK those two, then wait on Moxley! But Marina saves The Maniac from a 3:10 to Yuma! Yuta runs in, he gets the 3:10 TO YUMA!!
The fans fire up as The Bang Bang Gang is now four men strong! Colten gets a mic to shout, “The Collision Cowboys are back, baby! This is OUR show! And if you’re not down with that, we’ve got two words for ya!” “GUNNS UP!!” Marina is pissed, but will The Death Riders settle this with Bang Bang Gang soon enough?
Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Lexy Nair is with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross, and Megan says no, she’s not with them, she’s beneath them. Just like this entire Women’s Division. Lena says Divine Dominion just defeated Stat & Shida, two former world champions, and two of the best in this company. And yet they crumbled at Divine Dominion’s feet! What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not. Then the only hope this Women’s Division has is if the gods themselves take mercy on their souls and strike these two down. Otherwise, just stop trying. Megan & Lena have spoken, but will that challenge soon be matched?
Skye Blue VS Nixi XS!
The Chicago Skye looms dark over Peoria, especially after she and the Triangle of Madness misted Persephone full in the face just to cheat a win last week. But will Skye make sure to leave her opponent black ‘n’ blue tonight? Or will the Alien Girl shine through with neon colors?
The bell rings and Skye just BOOTS Nixi down! Then she scuffs Nixi, talks trash on her, and pie faces her around. Skye TOSSES Nixi out, then runs up, only for Nixi to BOOT her back! Skye ROCKS Nixi, then runs up again, to BOOGT WASH her to the floor! Skye scowls as she stalks Nixi on the outside, and she brings Nixi up to SMACK her off steel steps! And again, and again, and again! The fans cheer Skye as she puts Nixi on the apron. Skye drags Nixi out for a DRAPING SWINGING NECKBREAKER to the floor! Nixi writhes but Skye puts her back in the ring. Skye swaggers while the fans cheer, then she climbs up the corner.
Nixi slowly rises so Skye revels in the cheers a little more. Nixi ROCKS Skye, but Skye ROCKS her back! They brawl up top, but Skye slips under to tuck Nixi in! CHEEKY NANDOS! Then Skye gets under Nixi for a RUNNING POWERBOMB! Flip over and KNEE!! Cover, but Skye lets up! The fans re torn, but Skye shouts out Julia Hart with the dragon sleeper! She drops down, DESCENT INTO MADNESS! Nixi TAPS, Skye wins!
Winner: Skye Blue, by submission
Skye shows her arsenal is deepening, just like the darkness in her heart! Will all parts of the Triangle of Madness soon be shining with gold?
AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS Hook w/ The Opps!
The Jet used MJF’s own tricks against him to keep this title, and now he has his shot at Darby Allin’s AEW World Championship this Wednesday. But will Knight still be bringing this gold with him? Or will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil finally make himself the Face of TNT?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see whose luggage will be a little heavier as they leave Illinois!
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Knight and Hook circle, tie up, and Hook slips around to waistlock. Hook picks a leg, trips Knight, then eggs him on. The fans boo but Knight brushes it off. Knight asks Shibata if he taught Hook that trick. Shibata ignores Knight, but Knight and Hook tie up again. Hook headlocks, wrenches, then wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and wrenches to snapmare. Knight drops a KNEE on the arm! Hook scrambles away but Knight calls to Shibata, saying he knows Shibata knows these tricks. Knight does squats like back in the dojo, and the two tie up again. Knight powers Hook back, Hook turns things around, and they go along ropes.
The ref counts as the two keep going around and around, then they return to center. Hook waistlocks, Knight switches, but Hook switches back. Knight wrenches, hammerlocks, and the fans rally. Hook reaches back to hit the SAYANAGI! Hook runs but Knight stays low. Knight hurdles, then HIP TOSSES, but Hook handsprings through! Knight dodges Hook’s lariat, Hook HIP TOSSES, but now Knight handsprings through! The fans cheer while Knight strikes a pose, but Hook runs up! Knight arm-drags Hook, then arm-drags again, but Hook avoids the dropkick! The fans boo as Hook scrambles to the corner.
Knight taunts Hook & Shibata, but Shibata coaches Hook up. Hook kicks low, ROCKS Knight, then fires body shots and backhands in the corner! Knight turns things around to return the body shots and forearms! Knight UPPERCUTS, the fans fire up, but Hook avoids the haymaker! Hook fires more body shots, then a HEADBUTT! Hook wobbles, too, but he still soaks up heat from the fans. Hook stalks Knight to a corner, brings him around to whip, but Knight grabs ropes to stop. Knight DUMPS Hook out, then DROPKICKS him down! Shibata coaches Hook, Knight aims to PLANCHA, but Hook dodges!
Shibata stands in the way, Knight asks what’s up, but Shibata runs up! Knight dodges, goes up the steps, but Hook dodges that! EXPLODER into the fans! The other fans cheer as Knight is down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him! Hook argues with the ref as a further distraction so Shibata can stand Knight up. Hook KNEES Knight, then whips him hard into railing! Hook CLUBS Knight, soaks up heat, then goes to the ring. Hook argues with the ref more, but that lets Shibata line up a shot! Shibata BOOTS Knight into the crowd! The fans cheer again, they don’t mind Collision being interactive. Shibata puts Knight in for Hook to cover, TWO!
Hook is frustrated but Shibata coaches him up. Hook drags Shibata up, but Knight fires body shots! Knight ROCKS Hook, shakes out his hand then runs, only for Hook to follow! Hook CLOBBERS Knight, covers, TWO! Shibata argues the count but no, it was fair. Hook clamps onto Knight with a SLEEPER! Knight endures, even as Hook leans on him. Knight fights around, reaches out, then fires body shots! Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally. Knight fires shots, Hook shoves, but Knight returns! STAELLITE- NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Knight survives and Hook is furious!
Hook hauls Knight up, fires body shots, then ROCKS Knight. Hook whips corner to corner, but Knight comes back to LARIAT! The fans fire up as Knight keeps going, SHOULDER TACKLE! Knight whips, Hook reverses, but Knight goes up and over! Knight comes back, LEAPING LARIAT! Hook sputters away but Knight kips up! The fans fire up and Knight runs up to scoop and SLAM! The fans cheer as Knight says “TOO FLY!” UFO SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Hook survives but the fans still rally behind Knight. Shibata coaches Hook and Hook rises up. Knight also stands, and Knight runs up, SATELLITE- NO, Hook powers free!
Hook goes to a corner, Knight runs up and blocks a boot! Knight ROCKS Hook, hoists him up top, but Hook kicks Knight away. Knight returns to the UPPER ROOM! Hook goes tumbling away to the far corner! Shibata is worried but Knight grins. Knight says this is for Shibata-sensei! HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! The fans cheer Knight using Shibata’s signature, and that just pisses Shibata off! Knight puts Hook in the drop zone but Hook grabs at the ref. Knight climbs up, but Shibata shakes the ropes! The fans boo as that trips Knight up! Knight is stuck on his cockpit, but Hook goes up after him! Hook clinches but Knight fires body shots!

The fans cheer, but Hook runs up again! GERMAN SUPLEX, but Knight handsprings through!! Then Knight LARIATS Hook down! Then Knight waits on Hook, for the SATELLITE DDT!! Knight puts Hook in a drop zone, hurries up a corner, and takes aim… MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! Cover, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.
My Score: 8.9/10
