Grayson Waller VS Tyler Bate!

The 21st Century Success Story was suspended a week for getting in Shawn Michaels’ face over not being seen as “the guy.” But maybe that’s because Waller just has to put up and shut up! Will he do just that here tonight? Or will the Big Strong Boi be the one to humble him?

The bell rings and the two tie right up. Bate pushes Waller back but Waller turns it around to have Bate in a corner, and Waller ROCKS Bate with a right hand! Waller CLUBS Bate, Bate throws hands but Waller throws forearms. Bate hits back, Waller CLUBS Bate. Fans actually duel, Waller XLCUBS Bate but Bate throws hands. Waller DECKS Bate, then CHOKES him on the ropes! “This your boy, Shawn? This your boy?! You chose the wrong horse!” The ref counts, Waller lets off, but then Waller fires off fists.

Waller can’t believe it! But in the end, his cheating got him caught! The Big Strong Boi is back, but Waller is anything but humbled. Will Waller continue to complain until he gets what he wants? Or will Bate beat him to the golden goal?

 

Josh Briggs checks in on Brooks Jensen.

Valentine’s Day, baby! Is Jensen nervous? Yes, super nervous. Why? Jensen likes Kiana, Kiana likes Jensen, what’s the problem? He’s never… Uh… He motions with his hands and Briggs can’t understand what he means. Just spit it out, Brooks! Jensen has never… Oh, wow. Okay! Well it’s fine, you’re 22 years old. There are plenty of 22 year old guys who haven’t “hit the homerun” before. Jensen doesn’t feel better about that. He’s never even been on base… WHAT?! Not even a kiss?! NOT SO LOUD! Right, well, nothing to be nervous about it. 90-10! What’s 90-10? The guy goes 90% of the way in, the lady goes the other 10%. Oh…! She goes 90?

NO, you gotta make the move! It’s simple. Look, Briggs will demonstrate. What? No, don’t. Here goes. See? 90. Go 10. No, that’s 7! GO TEN! Jensen is trying not to laugh and then Fallon Henley walks in, asking what is going on here. Nothing! Just showing Jensen the 90-10. Why? Cuz he’s never kissed- HEY! That’s one more person, why not just tell the who NXT roster? Scream it in the parking lot! Jensen’s life is over. Fallon says that you need to know- YES! He needs to know everything! He wants this Valentine’s Day to go perfectly because Kiana is the woman of his dreams! He needs to get that kiss. He needs it!

Well, if it happens, which it might not, here’s a tip: when you walk Kiana to her door at the end of the night, if she plays with her keys, she wants the kiss. When you do that, 90-10. Okay, alright. He’s nervous but excited. Anything else? Nope. This is the night Jensen’s been waiting for. Have fun. Thanks! You guys are the best! Jensen heads out, will it all go according to plan?

 

Jacy Jayne heads to gorilla.

She passes by Waller shouting at HBK, but pays it no mind. She’s all about herself after last week. What will she say about her betrayal of Gigi Dolin?

Wait, speaking of that shouting, we focus on that as Waller SLAPS stuff off HBK’s desk! HBK tells him to calm down, A-Train gets involved, but Waller keeps calling HBK a stooge! HBK tells A-Train to get Waller outta the building, and he tells the cameras to cut to commercial. Has Waller done it now? What will the punishment be this time?

 

Apollo Crews speaks.

“Vengeance Day was my chance to get one step closer.” He throws down his journal to tell Dabba-Kato, “I felt that hug, I saw that smile. And then BAM, outta nowhere, and everything goes dark. Why? No call, no text. I tuned in last week to hear your reasons why, and all you gotta say is I know what I did? What the hell does that even me? What we did was travel the road together. What we did was share WrestleMania moments together. What we did was share family time together. Dabba-Kato, you have your reasons and now I have mine! I’m not focused on the future, I’m not focused on the past, the only thing that I’m focused on is revenge!”

 

Jacy Jayne heads to the ring.

Fans boo as the Toxic Traitor struts her way down the ramp, showing off the new shirt: a drawing of her booting Gigi through that door. Jacy gets the mic while fans boo, and says, “Last week was the end of the Toxic Attraction story, but the beginning of the Jacy Jayne story. And now, it’s all about me! And the proof is in the boot, because for the last seven days, I have been the talk of NXT. Not Roxanne Perez, Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes, and damn sure not Gigi Dolin. The name on the tip of everyone’s tongue is Jacy Jayne. ME! ME ME ME ME ME ME ME!” Fans duel, “Gigi’s Better!” “No She’s Not!”

Jacy continues to say, “And for those of you who keep asking me if I regret stomping Gigi’s skull in, the only thing I regret is that I didn’t pull the trigger sooner. I’ve already watched the footage back 1000 times! But you know what’s better than 1000 times? 1001! Let’s see it again!” The replay package shows the moment that ended Ding Dong Hello and NXT last week, Gigi’s SUPERKICK to Gigi. It’s a highlight reel of their moments together, and then Jacy’s moment making it about herself, and her cheering herself on in the present. Plus, images of Gigi’s face after the fact. “Aww, boo-hoo~! Aww. And if I have to hear one more ‘Did you really have to kick her that hard~?’ YES! YES I DID!

Because all of you people wanna sit here and act like Gigi was the victim, but anyone who has two brain cells, which sadly eliminates every single person in this building, understands that I am the real victim here! Gigi, your days of doing half the work and taking all the credit are over. Sorry, Jannetty- I mean, Gigi. Everyone is gonna see you for who you truly are. Because your security blanket, aka ME, is done protecting you. I’m no longer going to be taking care of all of your mistakes. But Gigi, that’s enough about her, no one cares about Chucky anyway.

“But I want every single person in this building, everyone watching at home, to listen very, very carefully to what I have to say, because this is gonna be the most important thing I ever have to say. Screw. You. Because for the last two years, ever since Toxic Attraction form, you saw me as the one who didn’t belong. You called me the third wheel! ‘Which one isn’t like the rest? Why is Jacy Jayne even in this super group?’ Well that super group, Toxic Attraction, went on to be the most dominant female faction in WWE history. And look who’s the last woman standing! IT’S ME!!” Jacy says it’s always about her, but how long will that last?

 

Chase U meets up backstage.

Duke Hudson spooks Thea Hail as she’s deep in thought. Thea apologizes, she’s still jumpy. No, that’s understandable. Whenever she feels comfortable about it, she can tell them what happened with The Schism. They’re here for her. Andre Chase sits with Thea and says they can even get this match tonight pushed back. Thea says no, she’s good. She can’t back out, or The Schism wins, and they can’t let that happen. That’s not Chase U. She has to look fear dead in the face, and say, “Hi, Fear. I’m Thea. And tonight, you’re gonna get an Andre Chase University sized ass-whooping!” Thea has convinced herself, but will she really be ready to get back in the ring?

 

Sol Ruca speaks.

“I’ve been in NXT for less than a year and I still dig going into practice every single day. Being in the ring allows me to be creative and be a free spirit, and that’s who I am. Sol Ruca: free spirit. And I got that from my parents. My parents instilled that freedom in mee. See, we had a deal that if I was able to get a college scholarship, I could do whatever I wanted. When I was in high school, and if I wanted to go snowboarding or if I wanted to go surfing, I’d just text my mom and say, ‘Hey, can you get me outta class real quick?’ And she would say, ‘As long as your grades are good, I’ll get you out.'”

And so, she tried all sorts of things. From gymnastics to snowboarding to skateboarding, to learning guitar and even photography. She feels like everyone is so afraid of making mistakes, but no one is perfect. When Sol tried her Sol Snatcher the first time in practice, it sucked. But she kept doing it every single day. And you can just ask Zoey Stark just how good the move is now. Yes, Zoey won, but Sol wants a rematch. Any time Sol fails, she gets right back up, ready to go again. Will Sol manage to get back on her board and make sure Zoey Stark wipes out next time?

 

Thea Hail VS Tiffany Stratton!

Just as Chase U’s top recruit got in the face of Daddy’s Little Rich Girl, Ava Raine snatched her away! Who knows what Schism did to Thea, but that’s not going to be Thea’s focus tonight. Will Thea put Tiffany in her place? Or will Tiffany shine bright like the diamond she insists she is?

Fans chant “CHASE U!” and Tiffany shouts, “SUCKS!” The bell rings and Thea circles with Tiffany. They tie up, Tiffany wrenches the arm and wrangles Thea to the mat. Tiffany taunts Thea but Thea fights up, wrenches, ROCKS and arm-drags Tiffany! Then wheelbarrow to an arm-drag! And then an OVERHEAD arm-drag! And DROPKICK! Fans fire up for Thea and Thea high fives Chase. But then Rip Fowler & Jagger Reed appear in the crowd! Thea is distracted but fans boo. Tiffany turns Thea around, but Thea blocks the kick to roll Tiffany up! ONE, and Tiffany blocks an arm-drag to throw Thea by her hair!

Tiffany stomps away on Thea, drags her up, then whips her to a corner. Thea BOOTS back, goes out, but now Joe Gacy appears in the perch! Thea tells him to leave her alone, but Tiffany CLOBBERS Thea! Tiffany puts Thea in the ring, covers, TWO! Fans rally for Thea, Tiffany drags her up to CLUB her down! Tiffany then fireman’s carries, but Thea fights free! Thea whips Tiffany out to the apron! Thea runs in, brings Tiffany through ropes, but Tiffany HOTSHOTS Thea away! Tiffany springboards to SWANTON! Cover, TWO!! Thea survives and Tiffany throws a fit! Tiffany wraps on a chinlock but Thea fights up.

Thea arm-drags free, CLOBBERS Tiffany, and CLOBBERS her again! Tiffany bails out in a fit, but Thea roars! Thea runs, DIVES, and wipes Tiffany out! Fans fire up as Thea RAMS Tiffany into the apron! But wait, now Ava Raine is in the crowd! Ava’s creepy grin scares Thea back into the ring, Tiffany runs in but Thea dodges! O’Conner Roll, TWO! Thea hits ropes, Tiffany builds speed, HIP ATTACK! Tiffany fireman’s carries, for the ROLLING SENTON! And then she goes up top, blows a kiss, BEST MOONSAULT WHATEVER! Cover, Tiffany wins!

Winner: Tiffany Stratton, by pinfall

Thea couldn’t focus, but Tiffany doesn’t care. Will Chase U be able to help Thea get past this trauma? Will Tiffany go for the gold come Stand & Deliver?

 

Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley talk backstage.

Tatum assures Ivy she is innocent and Ivy says she believes her. But then Javier Bernal walks in and says, “Ladies, ladies! More specifically Tatum. Today is a very special day, and it only comes around once a year. And I’m about to give you a very big, special once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Tatum Paxley, will you be my Javitine?” A box of candies with his face on it…? Tatum says thanks but she’s taken. Taken? Hah! Your loss. Ivy, today’s a very special day- Javi, stop. Ivy would love to be his Javitine. Really? DIAMOND DRAGON SLEEPER!! The candy goes flying! But then Isla Dawn’s voice calling makes Ivy let Javi go.

Isla Dawn is coming in through the speakers. She says it’s nice for Ivy protecting Tatum, but you shouldn’t be chained to her. Isla can still sense Tatum’s feelings of being weighed down by Ivy. But maybe it’s safer to be in chains than to stand on her own. Ivy and Tatum say they aren’t going to listen to the mind games, and they head out. But will the Wicked Witch soon be proven right?

 

Axiom VS Damon Kemp!

The Undeniable Truth wants payback on the Golden Gopher for ruining his moment with Tyler Bate last week. Will Axiom use his skill and intellect to humble Damon? Or will Damon embarrass the European style with his American hybrid ability?

NXT returns and Kemp makes his entrance. The bell rings and Axiom rushes in to DROPKICK Kemp! Axiom fires off forearms and CHOPS in the corner, but he lets off as the ref counts. Axiom runs back in to basement dropkick! Fans fire up with Axiom and he runs at Kemp again, PENALTY KICK! Kemp wobbles, Axiom swings but Kemp avoids the buzzsaw! Kemp bails out but Axiom DIVES! Direct hit and fans fire up again! Axiom puts Kemp in, hurries to a corner and goes up top. Axiom leaps but Kemp gets under. Kemp runs in, Axiom wheelbarrows, but Kemp makes that a GERMAN SUPLEX!

Fans boo but Kemp waistlocks and GERMAN SUPLEXES again! Axiom staggers up, Kemp waistlocks, another GERMAN SUPLEX sends Axiom tumbling! Kemp CLOBBERS Axiom out of the ring! Kempt hen goes out around the way to CLOBBER Axiom again! Kemp puts Axiom in the ring, rains down forearms, and he covers, TWO! Fans rally but Kemp drags Axiom up. Kemp ROCKS Axiom and Axiom falls to a knee. Kemp stands Axiom up to ROCK him again! But Axiom CHOPS back! And CHOPS again! Axiom whips, DROPKICKS and down goes Kemp! Fans fire up back up and Axiom runs back in, GAMANGIRI!

Axiom pushes Kemp aside, goes up top, and he CROSSBODIES! But Kemp rolls through, covers, with tights! TWO! Axiom SOBATS, runs in, but into a DISCUS LARIAT! Axiom gets flipped around! Kemp says he’s finishing this! Electric Chair, to HIGH ANGLE GERMAN! Bridging cover, TWO!! Axiom survives but Kemp kicks him around. Kemp drags Axiom up, GERMAN SUPLEX, but Axiom lands on his feet! Axiom DECKS Kemp, then PENALTY KICKS again! Fans fire up as Axiom aims from the corner! GOLDEN RATIO!! Cover, Axiom wins!

Winner: Axiom, by pinfall

Kemp just got ratioed and Axiom is vindicated! Will this humble the Golden Gopher? Will Axiom soon be heading for gold?

 

Jensen shares pictures from date night.

From his Twitter, we can see he and Kiana got some drinks, and he’s telling his “Sugarpie honeybunch” that he had a nice time, she’s his “brown-eyed girl,” and that he’s taking his lady home after a great night. Will Jensen have that romantic kiss to make it a perfect night?

Fallon and Briggs see the pics.

Briggs tells her to stop with the comment threat, just look at how happy Jensen is. He’s having the time of his life! She knows, but she just can’t take it. She has to tell him! Tell him what? Fallon heads out, Briggs follows, is Fallon about to ruin Jensen’s chances?

 

Waller posts a video to Twitter.

He’s vlogging how he’s being ejected from the building! He says that’s “hilarious,” and that “HBK has no idea how to treat an actual superstar.” Waller says he’s the biggest star, and HBK is just a stooge! But how can Waller run NXT if he’s being kicked out?

 

Bron Breakker is here!

The NXT Champion is back and fans bark it up as he heads to the ring. Bron holds up the belt, then gets the mic to say, “Feels a little different in here tonight. Like, when one door closes, the next door opens. But this next challenge ahead of me is different. It feels… bigger. It seems to be the match that everybody wants to see, right? Me VS HIM!” But wait, Jinder Mahal heads out to the ring? He has Indus Sher with him as he stands at ringside, and Bron says this is not who he expected. Jinder says, “A great champion must always expect the unexpected.” Tell him something he doesn’t now, pal. Jinder will, just give him a second.

Jinder respectfully interrupts here, because he admires the fact that for almost an entire year, Bron has carried NXT on his back, he IS NXT and he IS the brand. But Jinder knows very well the weight that Bron carries on his shoulder. Bron, Jinder also knows the stress of the next challenger, of retaining the title. And not only that, Jinder completely understands all the press, all the late nights, the early mornings, the lifestyle that comes with being THE champion! As a former WWE World Champion to the current NXT Champion, is this the title reign Bron envisioned? Is this what he thought being champion would be like?

Bron says, “Damn straight! What the hell are you talking about?” Jinder says for almost an entire year, Bron has been NXT Champion, but he must be deaf. He doesn’t hear that small pocket of fans who once loved Bron, but now changing their tune. But it’s okay, Jinder knows better than anyone! “You either die a hero, or you become the villain.” Bron says the fans are allowed to have their opinions. Jinder says that is why he’s here! Because of that comment, of that arrogance! The fact that Bron doesn’t acknowledge what is going on around him, that the tides are turning and times are changing.

Bron cannot see that he is tired and vulnerable and weak! That is why JINDER is challenging Bron to a match! Next week, for THE NXT Championship! Fans like that, Bron likes that, too! Jinder didn’t need to come out here and waste everyone’s time with the new Three Man Band. Which one is the guitarist? Jinder holds Veer and Sanga back while fans chant “3 M B!” Jinder has everyone calm down. Jinder tells Bron that the people don’t like him, and he knows why Bron made that 3MB joke. It’s so that the fans will cheer him on! That’s for the fans to like him! But after Jinder takes the title, the fans still won’t Bron! They won’t even feel bad!

But don’t worry, Bron. Jinder will. The Modern Day Maharaja has spoken, but will he speak his title reign into reality? Or will Bron break Jinder’s hopes and dreams, too?

 

Kayden & Katana find Roxanne & Meiko backstage.

KC Squared have had time to think and they realize they were a bit aggressive last week. They were just pissed that they got screwed out of the titles, and that had nothing to do with Roxie. So that’s on them, and they’re sorry. Roxie accepts the apology. But is this them saying they don’t want to have a match? No, no, they want to have this match. Who wouldn’t want to go up against the Final Boss? KC Squared will bring it, and they say it is an honor. They bow in respect to Meiko and head out. Roxie thanks Meiko for coming so far to help her. Meiko says she has her reasons. With that, the main event is still on. Will the Prodigy and Final Boss make a powerful team here tonight?

 

Wes Lee heads to gorilla.

The Must-See Kid is ready to see who steps up to his Open Challenge, but we can see Tony D’Angelo & Channing Lorenzo creeping up from the shadows. Will The Don or Stacks be the one to go after the gold? Or will someone completely unseen snipe this opportunity from them?

 

Backstage interview with Indi Hartwell.

McKenzie Mitchell says #IndiWrestling requested this time, what’s on her mind? Indi says that Toxic Attraction was pretty much despised by everyone else on the roster, and believe her when she says she enjoyed seeing Gigi’s head get kicked in. But sitting in the locker room, listening to Jacy’s “hot garbage,” and Jacy thinks she’s shooting up to the top? Well just like Toxic Attraction is dead and gone, Jacy is dead wrong. Indi tells Jacy, “The only place your gonna end up is behind me.” Indi heads out, will she be more than #Impressive on the Road to WrestleMania?

 

NXT North American Championship Open Challenge: Wes Lee VS ???

He made it through Vengeance Day and the #HardJustice of Dijak, but Wes is going to be a fighting champion! He has the mic to say, “OHHH YEAH~!” We all know why he’s here: It’s Open Season for the title, and he’s ready and waiting to see who steps up. So who who who will it be? Here comes The Don! But then Dijak snatches him into the hammerlock sleeper! Stacks goes after Dijak, it’s a brawl, refs rush out to stop it, but then someone sneaks in from behind! VON WAGNER boots Wes down! Robert Stone wants this to get going before Wes knows what hit him, but the ref has Von stand down.

The ref asks Wes if he still wants this fight, and Wes says yes! The bell rings, Von runs in, but into a SOBAT! Wes dropkicks a leg out, then dropkicks it again! Von choke grips Wes, powers him into a corner, and then hauls Wes up to BUCKLE BOMB him! And then RAM him back in! Von chokes Wes, TOSSES him across the way, and Stone likes what he sees. Von storms up on Wes, stands him up and RAMS him into another corner. Von RAMS into Wes again, then lets off as the ref counts. Wes goes to another corner, elbows Von back, but Von KNEES low! Von runs corner to corner but into BOOTS!

Fans rally for Wes, he dodges Von and fires off haymakers! Wes runs, returns, but Von catches Wes! Wes grabs ropes but Von DUMPS Wes up and out! Wes hits apron on the way down and Stone still likes what he sees. Von goes out after Wes, drags Wes up and RAMS him into the apron! Then SMACKS him off the desk! And again! Stone says not to beat Wes down here, get in the ring. The ring count climbs, but Von dribbles Wes’s head off the desk! Fans boo, Von puts Wes in and he tells Stone he has this. He slides in at 8 of 10, but Wes throws hands! Fans fire up behind Wes as he fires off again and again and again!

Wes ROCKS Von, runs, but Von CLOBBERS Wes! Cover, TWO!! Wes survives but Von snarls as he drags Wes back up. Von reels Wes in but Wes resists the lift. Von CLUBS Wes, lifts, but Wes fights it again. Wes slips under, RAMS into Von, but Von CLUBS Wes! Wes mule kicks, fires hands, and fans are thunderous! Von shoves Wes, Wes blocks the boot and trips Von, DOUBLE STOMPS to STANDING MOONSAULT! Von staggers up into a SHOTGUN dropkick! Von ends up in a corner, Stone coaches him up but Wes runs in to UPPERCUT! And GAMANGIRI! Wes pushes Von aside, goes up and FLYING- NO, Von catches Wes!

Von whips Wes away, pops him up, SLAM DUNK FLAPJACK! And then a BOOT! High stack, TWO!! Wes survives again and Von grows frustrated. Von drags Wes up by his hair, but fans rally up. Von trophy lifts Wes and aims for the desk! But Wes slips free, and SUPERKICKS! SUPERKICK again! HEEL KICK! Von wobbles around, into another SUPERKICK! Wes runs, to V-TRIGGER! Fans fire up again and Wes handsprings, CARDIAC KICK!! Cover, Wes wins!

Winner: Wes Lee, by pinfall (still NXT North American Champion)

Von got the drop on Wes but Wes just dropped Von! Will Wes continue to be that fighting champion all the way to Stand & Deliver?

 

Drew Gulak meets up with Hank Walker backstage.

Hank shows off his brand new singlet with his name on it and everything. Is he ready for tonight? Yes! Well, almost. His wrestling boots didn’t come in, he still has to wear his working boots… Gulak had a feeling that’d happen, so HE got Walker his old pair. Wow! Thanks so much! Gulak says it’s no problem, but he needs to lace up quickly, because he’s up next. Walker says, “Yes, sir!” But will new gear and borrowed boots be enough to help the Blue Collar Wrestler against the Son of the Gentleman Villain?

 

Hank Walker w/ Drew Gulak VS Charlie Dempsey!

The first time around, Dempsey put the “evil” in New Year’s Evil when he beat down and twisted Hank up. Will this just be a Valentine’s Day Massacre? Or will Hank be able to even the score now that he looks the part?

The bell rings and the two tie right up. Dempsey wrenches, wristlocks, hammerlocks, but Hank elbows back. Dempsey headlocks, but Hank powers out to RAM shoulders! Hank fires up, Dempsey fires forearms! Hank pushes Dempsey back, swings, but Dempsey dodges! they both ROCK each other, then they both BOOT each other! Fans fire up while both men fall! Gulak coaches Hank and Hank grits his teeth. Dempsey stands first but Hank gets his arm! Hank wrangles Dempsey for a FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Dempsey flails, fights his way over, reaches out, but Hank drags Dempsey away! FUJIWARA ARMBAR!

Dempsey endures, fights his way back over, but Hank again pulls Gulak back! But Dempsey uses that to drag Hank down! Dempsey has the leg, he has the crossface, but Hank reaches out! Gulak coaches Hank but Dempsey throws down elbows! Dempsey clamps on, BOW ‘N’ ARROW! hank TAPS, Dempsey wins!

Winner: Charlie Dempsey, by submission

That was even faster than last time! But now Dempsey goes for more, and he puts the BOW ‘N’ ARROW back on! Dempsey glares at Gulak, and Gulak backs away!? Fans boo as refs make Dempsey let Hank go! Gulak now gets up in Dempsey’s face, but then moves aside? Dempsey steps out onto the apron with Gulak, and the two leave together?! Is Gulak siding with Dempsey and not his own student?

 

Von is furious backstage, again!

Von says the title slipped through his hands, but asks if Stone has anything to say. Stone says he has plenty to say, but what would be the point? Von didn’t lose the match because he lacks in-ring ability. Von has plenty of that. But he lost because he doesn’t have a connection to Stone or to the fans, or anyone really. His walls are up! They gotta come down! Von has to break the walls down! Help Stone help Von! Stone keeps saying that, and then cools off. Stone doesn’t have time for someone with walls up. Von’s biggest claim to fame is being the “Come Tuesday” meme! But you know what Stone has time for? The guy inside Von! And there is someone inside Von.

Stone vows he will get Von where he wants to be, but Von needs to let Stone help him. Help Stone help Von! Stone leaves, but just what does Von have to do to connect?

 

Gallus is having a good time.

They’re in the pub again, playing pool and drinking pints. But then Pretty Deadly walk in. Are they lost? No, they’re here to observe, “since you two filthy boys did it to us last week.” Wolfgang says they’re just keeping an eye on their NXT Tag Division. Mark Coffey adds that’s because Gallus Boys- Yes, yes, Gallus Boys On Top, they know the catchphrase. But by the way, Gallus isn’t great, Pretty Deadly could beat them in the ring and in billiards. Uh, it’s called pool. Whatever! Just give them those sticks and Pretty Deadly will give them a good thrashing! Gallus throw the pool cues over, and the game begins.

Uh, Elton, Pretty Deadly is stripes, not solids. Well, establish the rules before they start! The game continue, and despite the finesse and charisma, Pretty Deadly loses. Gallus says not to worry, they remember their first time in a pub. How about a rematch and a refill? Sure, best two out of three. And if Pretty Deadly wins, they get a title match? That’s a big “if.” They’ll take it! Pretty Deadly get another round, Gallus drinks up, and Gallus keeps winning. So they keep drinking, playing, and winning. Pretty Deadly can’t even get a ball in working together. They’re down 7-0! Well, make that eight. Speaking of, eight ball, corner pocket.

Pretty Deadly are sick and tired of playing games. Wolfgang thanks them for picking up the tab, though. Oh no, that bill! Do they have iron livers?! Mark says that if they wanted a title match, all they had to do was ask. They’re not the New Day. Save yourselves the embarrassment, and they’ll have another go like in the UK. Gallus heads out, the match is on! Will the Gallus Boys still be on top? Or will Pretty Deadly get another #SidePlateCheck in before Stand & Deliver?

 

Backstage interview with Ilja Dragunov.

McKenzie asks The Czar how he feels being back after his four months away with injury. Dragunov says it was a difficult path to recovery, and he had internal bleeding even. But the pain helps to make you feel alive. Well one man who isn’t excited is JD McDonagh. Dragunov’s strike to his face sent JD to the hospital with a broken orbital bone! Dragunov says this is just the beginning! But Trick Williams has something to say! He’s in the ring, and he will not move until Dragunov meets him face to face! Dragunov excuses himself, and then heads to gorilla.

Trick won’t let Dragunov punk him out like he did last week! Dragunov is treated like the baddest man to come out of Europe, but Trick wants to find out for himself who is the baddest man, pointblank, period! He’ll drop Dragunov where he stands, drop him like a mixtape, and like JD did four months ago. Trick keeps talking trash, but Dragunov makes his way out as fans chant “WHOOP THAT TRICK!” Dragunov tells Trick, “Very entertaining. All the phrases, all the rhymes, you are the life of the party. But I didn’t come back to NXT to have fun. You felt what it’s like to try and keep me away from my mission.

“And I have absolutely no problem reminding-” Trick sucker punches Dragunov! But Dragunov ENZIGURIS Trick!! Fans fire up and Trick bails out! But here comes The Irish Ace! “DRAGUNOV! Dragunov, after last week, you shouldn’t be in that ring, you should be in jail after that sneak attack. You tore my retina! You should’ve listened to what I told you when you were on that stretcher. Do you remember? I told you, ‘Go home, Ilja. Go home and stay home.’ And now you’re back and talking retribution. You are gonna force me to show these people exactly what I’m capable of.

“And seeing as you tried to blind me, I have no problem telling you that this time, Ilja, I am gonna beat you so badly, that you’re not able to hold your son.” Dragunov is furious, but Trick sneak attacks Dragunov! Trick rains down fists but fans chant “WHOOP THAT TRICK!” Trick KICKS Dragunov in the side, and then he mocks Dragunov’s conducting the choir. Fans sing “WHOOP THAT TRICK~!” but Trick leaves. JD gets in the ring, but Dragunov stands back up! JD leaves, but the rematch is coming. Will The Czar and Irish Ace finally finish things once and for all?

 

Carmelo Hayes checks his phone.

He sees the news about Bron’s NXT Championship match next week and wonders, “Who skipped the line?” But then Trick walks in all fired up. Trick says he is feeling bad right now! He’s 6’4″, 235, all chocolate! These hands and feet are ready to eat up everybody! Melo says good, but Dragunov’s different. Nah, Trick’s different! This is his time! Okay, but does Trick now what he’s done? He woke up the dragon. Hey, Dragunov can throw his head at Trick, his shoulders, knees and toes. Trick is the meanest, prettiest and the baddest! That’s all it is, and that’s all it’s gon’ be! Melo is down with that, but will #UNBESIEGBAR #WhoopThatTrick?

 

Jensen and Kiana arrive at her place.

They enjoyed the country music, and Jensen says Kiana should try line dancing next time. Kiana says they’ll see. But she had a great time tonight. Thanks for dinner, that was a great pick. Jensen agrees. The food was… food. Well, uh… Jensen looks up and sees the North Star. Interesting fact: the North Star is actually from the… Kiana’s playing with her keys! Jensen 90, Kiana 10, but Fallon interrupts! Briggs is freaking out but Fallon says Kiana is cheating on Jensen! What?! She was hoping Kiana would tell Jensen, but she should’ve known she wouldn’t. Kiana says it’s not true. Fallon brings up how Kiana said, “I love you, Zack!”

Kiana confirms, she does love Zack. Because Zack is her brother! What? Wow, Fallon. And speaking of, Zack opens the door. He says the dogs have been fed, and he’s gonna leave through the garage. Kiana thanks her brother for that, and Fallon flounders. Kiana says to save it. When is Fallon going to actually trust her? Kiana walks in, Jensen says good night, and Fallon apologizes to him. She was just… She didn’t want… Jensen says it’s all good, and leaves with Briggs. Fallon just stepped in it, how will she make it up to both her friend and her tag partner?

 

Roxanne Perez & Meiko Satomura VS Kayden Carter & Katana Chance!

The Prodigy accepted the apology from KC Squared, but this match of current and former champions is still happening. This time it will be a showdown of respect rather than anger, but will things stay respectful as NXT gets on the Road to WrestleMania?

The teams sort out and Kayden starts against Roxie. They circle, tie up, and Kayden headlocks. Roxie powers out, Kayden runs her over, and things speed up. Kayden pushes Roxie out of her dropdown to stomp her, then she tags Katana. KC Squared whip, trip, and basement dropkick to the slingshot senton! Cover, TWO! Katana keeps on Roxie with an armlock. Roxie endures, fights up, and fans rally. Katana whips, Roxie reverses but Katana goes up and over. Things keep moving, Katana RANAS but Roxie handsprings through! Fans cheer the standoff and Roxie throws off her sleeves. Katana drop toeholds Roxie and facelocks!

Kayden tags in, rolls Roxie up, TWO! Kayden keeps on Roxie with an armlock of her own, then wrenches to wristlock. Roxie rolls, kips up, wrenches back and brings Kayden over. Meiko tags in and fans fire up. Meiko and Kayden shake hands, then they each try kicks. Meiko blocks one, but she lets Kayden go. Kayden CHOPS, but Meiko BOOTS, KICKS and brings Kayden around to UPPERCUT! Kayden ends up in a corner, Katana runs in but Meiko sends her to Roxie for a spin and UPPERCUT! KC Squared are in the corners, Meiko and Roxie both run to UPPERCUT! They somersault to meet at the middle, and go back for more UPPERCUTS!

Fans fire up as the champ and the legend bring KC Squared around to DOUBLE UPPERCUT! KC Squared bails out, fans fire up as Roxie builds speed, and Roxie DIVES to take Katana out! Kayden storms over but Meiko FLYING FOREARMS from the apron! Fans fire up as the champ and legend stand tall in the ring, and NXT goes picture in picture.

Roxie and Meiko high five, then Meiko goes out to put Kayden back in. Meiko puts Kayden on the apron, steps over her, then brings her up. Meiko wrenches, wristlocks, and tags Roxie. Roxie climbs up to drop AX HANDLES on the arm. Roxie wrenches Kayden now, wristlocks again, and wrenches to an armlock. Then La Magistrol! TWO, but Roxie drags Kayden into a ghost pin! TWO, and Roxie wrenches. Roxie headlocks, Kayden powers out, things speed up and Roxie CROSSBODIES, but Kayden catches her! Kayden RAMS Roxie into the corner, tags Katana, and Katana hits DOUBLE KNEES! Cover, TWO!

Katana keeps on Roxie, brings her away from Meiko, and she tags in Kayden. Kayden holds Roxie in place for Katana’s SHOTGUN! Kayden covers, TWO! Kayden drags Roxie away, traps an arm and has a seated cobra twist! Roxie endures, fans rally up, and Kayden digs her elbow into Roxie’s side. Roxie fights up but Kayden wrangles her back down. Roxie fights up again, powers through and throws body shots! Kayden ROCKS Roxie then fireman’s carries but Roxie slips off! CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Roxie crawls but Kayden drags her away! Tag to Katana, and Katana drags Roxie up to have a standing cobra twist!

NXT returns to single picture as Roxie endures. Fans rally, Roxie pries at the hold, and they move around. Roxie hip tosses Katana away! Katana comes back with a SHOTGUN! Cover, TWO! Katana keeps Roxie from Meiko and tags in Kayden. Kayden brings Roxie up and they go around, but Roxie rolls Kayden up! TWO, and Kayden storms up, into a JAWBREAKER! Kayden staggers, turns around and is spooked seeing Meiko there. Kayden turns around again, Roxie slides right under her! Hot tag to Meiko! The Final Boss grabs an arm and wrenches to a wristlock. Meiko wrenches again, sweeps the legs, then drops knees on the arm! Cover, ONE!!

Meiko ELBOWS Kayden off the apron then goes up top. Katana goes up to ROCK her first! Katana and Meiko brawl, Kayden tags in! But Roxie reinforces Meiko, only for Katana to kick her away! Katana then CROSSBODIES Roxie down! Kayden and Meiko brawl, Katana tags back in. Kayden gives Katana the boost, SUPER STEINER! Cover, TWO!! Meiko survives but Kayden tags back in. Kayden stands Meiko up and Katana climbs, but Meiko shoves Kayden away!

Katana leaps over Kayden and Meiko, comes back, but into a SOBAT! Meiko runs, to HANDSPRING KNEE DROP! But Kayden SUPERKICKS Meiko! Kayden brings Meiko up, Meiko slips off the fireman’s carry, but Kayden ROLLING ELBOWS! Meiko PELES! Hot tag to Roxie! Roxie SOBATS Kayden, hops on, POP ROX!! Cover, Roxie & Meiko win!

Winners: Roxanne Perez & Meiko Satomura, by pinfall

The champ and the legend stand tall in a big team-up! But Meiko gets the mic to say that since she did something for Roxie, Roxie should return the favor. And she points at the title! Fans like the sound of that, and Roxie says it would be her honor. Roxie bows in respect, then holds up the title. Meiko wants the gold, but will the Prodigy bring out that gamer girl and defeat the Final Boss?


My Thoughts:

A great episode for NXT that sets up a lot for… Well, not for Stand & Deliver but for the build to it. I didn’t write it down but Vic Joseph just said the word “roadblock” so sadly, I think they’re only giving us Roxie VS Meiko as a TV match when that is Stand & Deliver material. At the same time, that’s the only place Bron VS Jinder belongs. Bron and Jinder had a decent promo, the pacing of it seemed a little odd, but Jinder had such a good point that Bron is no longer beloved by everyone. Jinder is definitely going to be one more win for Bron before he loses at Stand & Deliver to Carmelo Hayes and then moves on to RawDown.

Really good promo from Jacy to put herself over and talk down to the fans, and of course she calls Gigi the Jannetty to further the parallels to the barbershop segment. Indi had a good response promo to call her out. Jacy is probably gonna beat Indi in their match, but Gigi will surely show up to go after Jacy and set up a grudge match for Stand & Deliver. Then winner of that can go after the title in the post-Mania weekend phase. Great little promo segment from Ivy, Tatum, Javi and Isla. Javi is doing great stuff as a Heel, I hope he gets a post-Mania push. Also this is getting us closer to Ivy & Tatum VS Isla & Fyre, that’s going to be a fun tag match.

Gallus and Pretty Deadly had a hilarious segment, and I love the twist that the tag match is happening despite Pretty Deadly losing. That match is going to be great stuff, but I would think Gallus wins. Good promo from Apollo to respond to Dabba-Kato, but I figured Apollo himself wouldn’t understand Kato’s anger. But they’re going to have a great match either way. Great opening match from Bate VS Waller, and it was both a good move to have Bate win and also Waller get in HBK’s face. This isn’t usually how wrestler VS authority figure goes, but that in itself is a creative move. Waller could probably use this story as his way to go up to RawDown, where HBK just can’t deal with him anymore and makes Waller HHH’s problem.

Trick Williams calling out Dragunov was an interesting move, but of course Trick sucker punches Dragunov with JD’s distraction. Dragunov VS JD might end up a Roadblock match even though that’s also Stand & Deliver material. Maybe the winner of that moves on to the North American Championship. Good stuff from the Open Challenge segment, both Dijak stopping Tony and Stacks from doing anything, to Von stepping in only to lose. Von obviously hasn’t opened himself up and Stone is getting more frustrated with it, but I do love that Stone brought up the meme. I honestly can’t be sure where Von’s character goes from here, but it’ll probably be some great stuff.

Good promo from Hank and Gulak with Gulak giving Hank some old boots. The silver does go pretty well with the black and orange Hank had. I didn’t expect Hank VS Dempsey to be a squash match, and while I was figuring Gulak and Dempsey would eventually team up, I didn’t think it’d happen here. I know the Creed Brothers are top collegiate wrestlers turned pro-wrestlers, but Gulak & Dempsey are going to be the team that brings technical wrestling to the NXT Tag Division. If anything, NXT might set up another Fatal 4 Way match for the tag titles to maximize who is on the Stand & Deliver card.

Really good vignette for Sol for us to understand her origins, and clearly that’s a sign she’s going to go far. Really good match from Axiom VS Kemp, and I was actually surprised Axiom won. I thought Kemp was going to win to call out Bate, but maybe Kemp will just come back for more. Good stuff from Chase U and The Schism on top of Thea VS Tiffany. Tiffany gets a good win, even with it being because of distraction. Tiffany is also a frontrunner for facing Roxie for the title at some point, though Cora Jade and Lyra Valkyria need to settle their score first. And Thea would make for a great first opponent for Ava Raine as Ava has yet to get in the ring. Heck, make it a Mixed Six, let Duke, Chase and The Dyad do the heavy lifting of the match.

And of course, the major attraction of this Valentine’s Day NXT was Jensen’s romance with Kiana. Great promos all night, and I just knew Fallon telling on Kiana about Zack was gonna blow up in her face. I thought Zack was a cousin but Zack turned out to be her brother, either way Fallon looks awful. I don’t wanna say it’s because Fallon also likes Jensen, but that could be part of the twist. And whether it’s a love triangle or just the issues of distrust, this could be how Fallon and Kiana break down as a team and lose the titles to whoever comes for them at Stand & Deliver. My vote is for Isla & Fyre, though, as that’s a really strong team.

My Score: 8.7/10

Jack Perry arrives.

The Scapegoat arrives in his black bus, but he also leaves the engine running while he heads inside. What is the twisted TNT Champion planning for tonight?

 

Daniel Garcia VS Johnny TV w/ MXM Collection!

Speaking of the TNT Championship, it will be Red Death challenging Jack Perry for that gold. But before he becomes the Face of TNT, can he prove to Johnny and the world that he is #TVReady?

The bell rings and Garcia circles with Johnny. They tie up, go around, and Johnny powers Garcia to a corner. The ref counts, Johnny lets off slowly, but then he takes a swing! Garcia dodges, headlocks and grinds Johnny. Johnny powers up and out, then he RUNS Garcia over! The fans are torn but Garcia gets up to shake that off. Garcia and Johnny circle again, tie up, and Garcia headlocks. Johnny powers up and out, but Garcia RAMS Johnny! Johnny rebounds to RUN Garcia over again!

Johnny drags Garcia by a leg, sits him up, and SHINING WIZARDS! Mansoor talks trash to the fans, probably fashion related, and Johnny TOSSES Garcia out. Johnny poses before he stalks Garcia to the ramp. Johnny taunts Garcia, kicks him around, then has him against railing. Johnny ROCKS Garcia, follows him around the way, then runs him into railing! Garcia falls over, Johnny refreshes the ring count, and MXM mug Garcia behind the ref’s back! The fans protest but MXM gest away with that.

And CHOP again! Johnny kicks low and then TOSSES Garcia out hard!

Johnny poses, then builds speed, to TORNILLO ATTACK! Johnny and MXM are all fired up, and even the fans have to admit that was good. But wait, JACK PERRY SMACKS MATT MENARD! The fans freak out as the Scapegoat TOSSES Daddy Magic over railing! Johnny mugs Garcia, puts him in the ring, then drags Garcia up to a fireman’s carry. Garcia fights with elbows and then hammers away on Johnny! Garcia reels Johnny in for a SAIDO! The fans fire up, MXM coaches Johnny, and both men slowly rise.

Garcia storms around, and he runs up, gets around, and he spins Johnny, TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Cover, TWO! Johnny survives and MXM is relieved. Garcia grits his teeth and he drags Johnny back up. Garcia reels Johnny in, but Johnny resists the lift! Johnny DUMPS Garcia up and out! MXM swarm again! The fans boo as Johnny keeps the ref from seeing this. But then Garcia POSTS Mansoor! Mason scoops Garcia but Garcia slips free to POST Mason!

Garcia hurries into the ring, but gets a FLYING CHUCK and a MOONLIGHT DRIVE for it! Johnny goes up, STARSHIP FLOP as Garcia moves! Garcia runs up to SHOTGUN Johnny down! Garcia then runs up, gets around, COBRA CLUTCH, and ANACONDA VICE! Johnny TAPS, Garcia wins!

Winner: Daniel Garcia, by submission

Red Death overcomes 3v1 odds, but now he realizes something happened to Menard! Garcia asks what happens, Schiavone and Nigel explain it was Perry. Wait, cameras have caught up and now Perry is brawling with Menard in the back! Garcia hurries to the back, but Perry throws Menard into railing! And SMACKS him with a floor sign! Perry stalks Menard while commentary says AEW is coming unglued! Things have moved to the parking lot, and Perry SMACKS Menard off the Scapegoat bus! “You think he’s ready? You think he’s ready!? Then you’re what’s holding him back. But I’m gonna fix that.”

Perry shoves Menard aside, then goes into the bus. Perry brings out a tow chain, with a hook on it! Perry CLUBS Menard, then hooks him up to the back of the bus! Between the chain and the bus exhaust, Menard is coughing and sputtering. Perry tells Menard, “We all have to sacrifice.” Perry then goes into the bus, but Garcia runs up! Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?

 

Lio Rush speaks.

“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”

 

Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!

Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

 

Shelton Benjamin w/ MVP VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!

While Bobby Lashley prepares for Full Gear, the Hurt Syndicate is looking for those ready to join up. Will the Standard of Excellence find the Commander of the Skies worth the investment? Or will he just be a waste of time?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Shelton and Komander tie up, but then Shelton shoves Komander back to BOOT him down! Shelton stands Komander up to KNEE, DECK, and then stand up again. Shelton clinches for the CROTCH LIFT SUPLEX! Komander flounders but Shelton stalks him. The fans rally for Shelton as he whips Komander corner to corner hard! Komander flops down and MVP says all day long! Abrahantes coaches Komander but Shelton stomps Komander. The MVP Arena cheers on MVP, and Shelton drags Komander up. Komander fires body shots, then forearms, but Shelton just smiles.

Shelton whips Komander to CLOBBER him! The fans fire up while Komander flounders more. Shelton drags Komander up, stomps him around, then stands him back up. Shelton scoops but Komander fights into a SLEEPER! Komander CLUBS away on Shelton, but Shelton throws Komander away! Shelton drags Komander to a corner, stomps him, then stands him up. Komander kicks, Shelton blocks, but Komander kicks and kicks and kicks! Shelton grins as he holds on, but then Komander ENZIGIRIS! Komander goes up, up and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! The fans fire up as things speed up, and Komander FLAPJACK DROPKICKS!

The fans rally as Komander runs up to mule kick, SUPERKICK, and knoucle lock! Koamnder goes up and up, around and around, then FLYING- NO! Shelton stops the rana to pop Komander into a BEARHUG! Then an OVERHEAD SUPLEX! Komander flounders but MVP says no more toying around. Shelton stalks Komander to the apron then kicks him to the floor while Collision goes pictur ein picture.

Shelton goes out after Komander, brings him back up, and he RAMS Komander into the railing! And the apron! And back to railing! Shelton RAMS Komander into the apron then THROWS him at the railing! Komander is down in a heap and MVP is all fired up! MVP talks a bit of trash to Komander while Shelton steps into the ring. The ring count climbs, and Shelton waits. Komander manages to get in at 7 of 10! Shelton stomps Komander, then brings him up from the apron side. Shelton has Komander literally on the ropes, to then BOOT him down! Komander hits the floor and MVP says it’s fine, he can stay down.

Shelton goes out after Komander, drags him up, and tosses him back into the ring. Shelton stalks Komander, then clamps on with a chinlock. Komander endures, but Shelton grinds him and twists him into a stretch. Komander continues to endure while Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Shelton whips Komander to FLAPJACK! Komander lands hard and sputters, but Shelton stands on him for a cocky cover. ONE, but Shelton smirks. The fans rally while Shelton stalks Komander to a corner. Shelton stomps Komander, hoists him up top, and slaps him around! Komander SLAPS back! And BOOTS! Komander adjusts position, dodges Shelton, and kicks the legs out! Shelton falls back, Komander goes up! MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up and Komander rises! Komander storms up but Shelton kicks low. Shelton suplexes, but Komander slips around! SLEEPER, then ELEVATED COBRA TWIST!

Shelton endures, powers out, but Komander handsprings through the hip toss! Komander runs, tilt-o-whirls, DEJA VU RANA! Shelton tumbles out and the fans fire up with Komander! Komander hurries to a corner and climbs! Komander tightrope walks the 20 feet, to then SPACE MAN MOONSAULT! Down goes Shelton and the fans are thunderous! Komander hurries to get Shelton up but Shelton ELBOWS him away. Shelton slides into the ring himself, but Komander follows. MVP is furious as Komander runs, 619! Shelton is down and Komander goes up again! MVP shouts at Shelton while Komander aims.

Komander tightrope walks again but has to bail out as Shelton moves! Shelton waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! Komander flounders to a corner, Shelton runs up to STEP-UP KNEE! And then a SUPERKICK! Komander gets folded up and MVP says finish it already! Shelton hauls Komander up, clinches, and hits PAYDIRT! Cover, Shelton wins!

Winner: Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall

MVP stands with Shelton in the victory, but Komander definitely give more of a fight than either man expected. MVP then says we should leave with a souvenir! Shelton grabs at Komander’s mask! Abrahantes gets in the ring to stop Shelton, but then he sees MVP there. MVP grabs Abrahantes by the neck! MVP LARIATS Abrahantes down! MVP may be a manager now, but he can still hit other managers hard. Will nothing stop The Hurt Syndicate from owning AEW?

 

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.

Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.

In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?

 

Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.

Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!

And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?

 

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!

The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up. Jameson gives all the introductions, and looking at “P-P-Powerhouse,” all you people are expecting a meat madness match! You want meat?! Then yeah, chant it up! But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Bronson pumps up and puffs up, but he’s looking lean compared to Hobbs. Bronson runs, RAMS Hobbs, but Bronson bounces off! The fans fire up but the Savages coach Bronson up. Hobbs says stop playing and bring it! Hobbs SLAPS Bronson, so Bronson really fires up! Bronson kicks low, and says, “How ’bout that, Hobbs?!” Bronson runs, but Hobbs dodges and CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up while Hobbs brings Bronson around. Scoop and SLAM, and the fans fire up with Hobbs! Hobbs then brings Bronson up to scoop and SLAM again! Bronson writhes, the fans chant for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!”

Hobbs drags Bronson up, scoops and SLAMS again! Bronson writhes while Hobbs looms over him. Hobbs brings Bronson up, but Bronson wrenches out to ROCK Hobbs! Bronson fires haymakers, then CLUBS away on Hobbs’ back! The fans rally, Bronson reels Hobbs in, but Hobbs suplexes Bronson first! Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!

Hobbs shakes the ropes, and the straps come down! The fans fire up but Jameson talks trash on the apron. Hobbs DECKS him! Boulder runs in?! Hobbs hits a SPINEBUSTER! The ref can’t believe what’s going on as Hobbs torture racks Bronson! ARGENTINE RACK! Bronson TAPS, Hobbs wins! And drops Bronson on Boulder!

Winner: “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs, by submission

Big, jacked, and ANYBODY can get it! That is the way of the Powerhouse! Will the Book of Hobbs have quite the comeback story?

 

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.

Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.

“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?

 

Private Party is here!

The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?

Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!

Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start. Mortos steps up and the fans sing while the bell rings. Bowens and Mortos circle, tie up, and Mortos powers Bowens to a corner.

The ref counts, Mortos lets off, but Bowens dodges the shot to fire CHOPS! Mortos just roars! Mortos runs up, Bowens dodges to CHOP, CHOP and fire forearms!

Rush leaps over but Caster runs him over! Rush runs Caster over! The fans fire up, but Caster says hold on! Tranquilo! Caster raises the ingobernable fist, Rush is moderately amused, but then Caster sucker punches him! Rush scowls and DECKS Caster! Rush goes out to grab his favorite green cable! Mortos distracts the ref, but Caster fires hands on Rush first! And Caster uses the cable! The fans cheer as Rush tastes his own medicine!

But then Rush SLINGS Caster to the floor! Billy is upset but the ref wants him to stay back. Billy tries to point out the shenanigans, but Collision goes picture in picture.

The ref is busy with Billy and that lets Rush LASH Caster with the cable! Rush SMACKS Caster off the desk, Caster scrambles into the ring, but Rush anchors his leg. Rush drags Caster up, CHOPS him then ROCKS him, then bumps him off buckles. Tag to Mortos and Mortos SMACKS Caster! Cover, TWO! Caster toughs it out but Mortos NECK GTWISTS! Cover, TWO! Mortos stalks Caster to a corner while Private Party watches closely. Mortos SMACKS Caster again! Mortos puts Caster in the corner, taunts Bowens, and while the ref is busy with Bowens, that lets The Snake get in cheap shots!

Billy and Bowens both protest, but Mortos wrenches Caster. Tag to Rush and LFI mugs Caster. Caster goes to a corner but Rush whips corner to corner. Rush runs up and feints the dropkick to SMACK Caster! Rush soaks up the cheers and jeers while he blows a kiss. Rush drags Caster up to snapmare and motorcycle stretch. Caster endures but Jake is happy with this. Caster fights up, but Rush throws him down by his hair! Private Party doesn’t like how this is going for Acclaimed, but Rush taunts Bowens. The ref has ot keep Bownse back again, and Rush drags Caster back. Tag to Mortos and LFI mugs Caster more while Collision goes to break.

Mortos roars, but Bowens sends him into the corner! Mortos tumbles up and out, then Bowens gives Rush the kick, kick, and FAMOUSER! Bowens shouts, “EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED!” Bowens then goes up and aims, SUPER CROSSBODY onto Mortos! The fans fire up and Bowens hurries to put Mortos in. Cover, TWO! Mortos stays in this, but Bowens stays focused. Bowens fires forearms but Mortos hits back.

Bowens fires a flurry, then whips, but Mortos reverses. Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS Bowens down! The fans fire up but Caster MISSILE DROPKCIKS Mortos! Rush runs up, but Caster SUPERKICKS him! Caster runs at Rush, but Rush THROWS him into the corner! Bowens DECKS Rush! The fans fire up as all four men are down! Private Party likes this, too, as Billy coaches his guys. Jake also coaches LFI, and “This is Awesome!” Mortos blocks a shot to HEADBUTT Bowens down! Tag to Rush and Rush runs at the corner, only for Bowens to dodge! Bowens CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS away!

Bowens sits Rush down, mocks the tranquilo with some scissor fingers, but that pisses Rush off! Rush shoves Bowens, the hands start flying! Rush whips Bowens to a corner, to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Rush sits Bowens down to stomp away! The ref counts, Rush argues with him, but then goes corner to corner! Feint and BOOT! Rush gives a proper tranquilo, then he has the fans fired up. Bownes runs up, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! Rush puts Bowens in the drop zone, goes up, SUPER SENTON FLOPS! Tag to Caster and he goes up! DIVING SPLASH! Cover, Mortos breaks it!

Mortos then runs at Caster, CANNONBALL MISSES! Hot tag to Bowens and he hits THE ARRIVAL on Mortos! MIC DROP from Caster!! Cover, ACCLAIMED WINS!

Winners: The Acclaimed, by pinfall (advance to Full Gear)

Private Party says alright, nice on Acclaimed! Billy helps Caster to his feet, but Caster is a bit squirrely. Caster calms down, and The Acclaimed all SCISSOR FINGER~! They’re in the Fatal 4, but will Caster & Bowens be the ones to become TWO-TIME TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions?

 

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!

With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!

 

Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.

Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?

 

Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.

Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”

Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!

Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?

 

Backstage interview with FTR.

Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.

While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!

The Outrunners speak.

Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?

 

AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!

The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?

Anna already brings a duffel bag of weaponry, and Nigel panics for Mariah’s sake. But Mariah came prepared with a trash can, baseball bat, and proper attire for a Street Fight. The introductions are made, but Mariah throws her can already! Anna dodges then SHOTGUNS Mariah! The bell rings, Anna is right on Mariah, and she sends Mariah into the railing! And then the steel steps! And then back into railing! The fans fire up while Anna keeps after Mariah with haymakers. Anna whips Mariah hard into railing! The Vendetta watches backstage, they seem to like Anna bringing out the violence as she SMACKS Mariah off the desk!

Anna confiscates a monitor to SMACK Mariah on the back! Mariah falls into Schaivone’s arms, and Nigel is furiously jealous! Anna SMACKS Mariah off the apron, then grabs herself a chair, to SMACK Mariah with it legs first! Anna pushes Mariah into the ring, then goes up a corner. Mariah stands into Anna’s BLOCKBUSTER! The fans fire up as Anna keeps going, and she sits the chair up nearby. Anna drags Mariah up, but Mariah fires body shots! DDT onto the chair! Anna falls back while Mariah snarls. Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.

Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!

The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!

Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again! Mariah flounders, Anna kicks things aside to then stomp Mariah down. Anna drags Mariah up to suplex her onto the chairs! Mariah writhes but Anna covers, TWO!! Mariah stays in this, but that just means more pain! Anna stalks Mariah and DIGS the prybar into her ribs! Mariah kicks Anna away, then fires forearms! Anna eggs Mariah on, so Mariah KNEES her down! Cover, TWO! Anna toughs it out as Collision returns to single picture.

Mariah drags Anna up, for a SAIDO! Mariah then positions chairs before she fireman’s carries Anna. MADAY on a chair! Cover, TWO!?! Anna survives and Mariah is furious! Mariah grits her teeth as she drags Anna up and reels her in. Anna fights free, kicks low, then has the Gory Especial! GORY BOMB onto the ladder!! The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.

Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first! Mariah bumps Anna off buckles, then SUPSER SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMBS through the table!! Cover, TWO?!?! Anna survives and Mariah cannot believe it! But this is what winning the title with no safety net means for Anna! Mariah goes out, looks under the ring, and she brings out spare railing!?

Mariah pushes the railing into the ring, but she also brings some chairs over. Mariah sets the chairs up before she props the railing up like a ramp. Mariah adds more chairs, but Anna hits a BACKSTABBER first! Both women are down again, but Anna grabs herself some chairs. Anna finishes the project Mariah was working on, and the railing is now a platform! Anna drags Mariah over but Mariah HEADBUTTS first! Mariah then puts Anna on the railing, and looks to go through with her plan all along! The fans fire up as Mariah climbs, but Anna trips her up first! Anna climbs up, and she has Mariah on the very top! SUPERPLEX on the railing!!!

The fans lose their minds as both women are wrecked on the steel bars! Nigel can’t bear to watch the replay! The fans declare, “This is Awesome!” Mariah rises up, but Anna flops out of the ring. Anna finds some BARBED WIRE! Anna looks to relive one of her highlights as she wraps the wire around her arm! Anna stalks Mariah, and has the BARBED WIRE QUEENSLAYER on!!! Mariah suffers and the fans say Anna is sick! Anna doesn’t care, she wants to be champion! Mariah fades, but she uses HAIR SPRAY IN THE EYES!! Mariah is free, and she reels Anna in, STORM ZERO on a chair!! Cover, Mariah wins!!

Winner: Mariah May, by pinfall (still AEW Women’s World Champion)

Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.

“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.

“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.

“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?

 

AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.

Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.

Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.

Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.

Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?

Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.

Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.

My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!

The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?

The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.

Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!

Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!

The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!

Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall

Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?

 

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.

Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.

Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?

 

Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!

While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?

Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?

The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.

Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.

Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!

Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.

Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!

Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up! Daivari headlocks, Briscoe powers out, but Daivari RAMS Briscoe! Briscoe roars! Daivari runs and RAMS Briscoe again! And again! Then Daivari fires hands! But Briscoe blocks to ROCK Daivari! And ROCK him again! And again! REDNECK PALM STRIKES! Briscoe puts Daivari in a corner!

Briscoe rains down fists and the fans count to TEN! Briscoe hops down, the fans fire up, and Briscoe CLOBBERS Daivari! And CLOBBERS him again! Briscoe whips, Daivari reverses, but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up with Briscoe and he runs at the corner. LARIAT, and then FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Daivari survives but Briscoe calls his shot! Briscoe drags Daivari up, reels him in, but Daivari fights the underhooks! Daivari wrenches, dodges a lariat, and SUPERKICKS! Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!

Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!

Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall

The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!

With the confrontations we’ve seen from them all, we see Will Ospreay join forces with Will Hobbs, Mark Davis & Ricochet against Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Brian Cage & Lance Archer! It’s the full Don Callis Family against the Aerial Assassin, the Powerhouse, Dunkzilla and The One & Only in an All Star 8 Man Tag! Which side will have all the momentum going into Full Gear?

 

Rocky Romero VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!

Rampage returns and the bell rings. The fans rally as Azucar and Commander of the Skies circle, but Montel Vontavious Porter is watching backstage…? Who business could MVP and The Hurt Syndicate have here? Rocky and Komander tie up, Komander wrenches and wristlocks. Rocky rolls then DROPKICKS! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, then waits on Komander. The two reset, circle, and tie up again. Rocky waistlocks, SLAMS, then flips Komander, maybe a little too much. Rocky flips Komander over again but Komander kips up to arm-drag! Komander gives some Latino Heat of his own, and Rocky can’t help but smile.

The fans rally as Komander and Rocky feel things out. They knuckle lock, go shoulder to shoulder, and the fans cheer the Test of Strength. Rocky powers Komander back, then MONKEY FLIPS! Rocky rolls back but Komander blocks the mount to then go up and MONKEY FLIP back! It’s a double cover, TWO as both men bridge! The fans cheer this exchange, and the two roll to their feet. Komander kicks one knuckle lock apart to then go up and ARABIAN PRESS ARM-DRAG! Rocky is back up fast, and he hurdles, drops under, then hurdles again. Komander leaps over, keeps moving, and he springboards to FLYING ARM-DRAG!

The fans fire up while Rocky bails out. Komander builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Rocky and the fans fire up again! Komander feeds off the energy to put Rocky in the ring. Komander goes up a corner, takes aim, but Rocky moves. Komander rolls through, comes back, and dodges to then handspring and- FACEBUSTER from Rocky! Cover, TWO! Rocky stays on Komander with a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Komander writhes, Rocky covers, TWO! Rocky drags Komander up again, whips him to a corner, and Komander hits buckles hard! Rocky snap suplexes Komander, drops a knee on him, then paces.

The fans rally but Rocky drops another knee. Rocky has Komander on the ropes literally, then brings him up to RAM him into a corner. Rocky reels Komander in, hoists Komander up top, and Rocky climbs up. Rocky ROCKS Komander and Komander wobbles! The two brawl, and Rocky ROCKS Komander again! SUPERPLEX! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Rocky crawls after Komander while Rampage goes picture in picture.

Rocky manages the cover, TWO! Rocky grits his teeth, growing frustrated, but he stalks Komander to more ropes. Rocky drags Komander up, CHOPS him, then stalks him to a corner. Komander kicks back but Rocky CHOPS Komander again. Komander flounders along ropes, but Rocky has him again. Komander turns things around to CHOP back! The fans and Abrahantes fires up as Komander fires off CHOPS and KICKS! The ref counts, Komander lets off, but Rocky sucker punches him! Rocky has Komander in the corner now, hoists him up again, but then traps him on the top rope by lacing the legs!

Komander flails while Rocky gets space. Rocky runs up to TOP SHELF KNEE! Komander falls in a heap, but Rocky wants us to watch. Sliding pose! Rocky goes back for Komander but Komander kicks at him. Rocky brings Komander up to CLUB him down. Rocky then stalks Komander, CLUBS him again, and stalks him to ropes. Rocky brings Komander into a waistlock, but shoves him to ropes to ROCK him in the back! Komander drops to his knees, but Rocky stands him up. Rocky shoves and ROCKS Komander again! Cover, TWO! Komander stays tough but Rampage goes to break.

Rampage returns and the fans fire up for Komander as he goes up, up, salutes, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS Rocky down! The fans fire up and MVP is impressed. Komander puts Rocky in, the fans rally behind “KO-MAN-DER!” But Rocky intercepts the flight for a fireman’s carry! Komander slips free, suplexes, but Rocky slips free. Rocky shoves but Komander DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander runs corner to corner to go  up and up, MOONSAULT, into BOOTS! Komander staggers, into SLICED BREAD! Cover, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but he hurries to bring Komander back up. Rocky whips, but Komander tiger feints and rolls!

Komander goes up and has Rocky with a dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, for a POWERSLAM into the corner!! The fans fire up as Komander sets Rocky in the drop zone. Komander climbs, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!

Winner: Komander, by pinfall

MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?

 

Backstage interview with Anna Jay.

Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.

Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?

 

Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!

Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?

The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!

The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!

Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!

Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall

This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?

 

Backstage interview with MVP.

Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.

That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.

The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!

 

Ricochet VS Dante Martin!

MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!

Dante bobs ‘n’ weaves, shoves Ricochet, but Ricochet avoids the dropkick! Jackknife bridge, TWO as Dante bridges up! Dante spins Ricochet, but Ricochet turns that to a backslide! TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!

Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards! Dante ducks under, runs at Ricochet, but Ricochet goes up and over! Dante puts Ricochet on the apron but Ricochet ENZIGIRIS! Ricochet springboards again, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dante survives and the fans fire up as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.

Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!

Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again. Dante springboards up and around for a CARTWHEEL CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives, he runs at Dante, but Dante goes up and over!

Ricochet tumbles out as Dante then builds speed, and Dante DIVES! Direct hit at the ramp but Dante hurries to put Ricochet in. Springboard and MAMBA SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives and the fans rally up again. Dante waits on Ricochet to rise up, then he half nelsons. Lift and- NO, Ricochet slips free to dragon sleeper! VERTI- NO, Dante slips free! Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!

MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?


My Thoughts:

A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.

Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?

My Score: 8.7/10
