Jinder Mahal speaks.
“I could’ve confronted Bron Breakker on my first night back, just like everyone else does. But I waited. In this business, timing is everything. The NXT Championship on Bron’s shoulder is getting heavier. The boos from the crowd are getting louder. And that frenetic energy that Bron has is getting weaker. And he’s falling into the same trap as last year. Stand & Deliver was in the distance and look what happened. This year, I’m the one who messes up all the plans.
“Tonight, there’s gonna be a lot of shocked faces in the audience. Get ready to see the same reactions when I became United States Champion at WrestleMania 34. The same reactions when I defeated Randy Orton and became WWE Champion. I’ve made a career out of shocking victories. And tonight, get ready for the next one, as I become the NEW NXT Champion.” The Modern Day Maharaja has made his proclamation, but will he fail to follow through?
Fallon Henley is on the phone.
She’s leaving a voicemail for Brooks Jensen to apologize for last week and Valentine’s Day. She promises she was coming from a good place, so she hopes he’ll text or call back. Josh Briggs walks in and knows he’s not answering. He said Jensen needs time. Well, did he tell Jensen that she wants to talk? He knows by the ten texts and five messages she’s left. Fallon sighs but Briggs tells her to listen. The two of them are all he’s got and he’s not getting in the middle of it all. But Fallon doesn’t understand! If Zack was Kiana’s brother, why did she let it go on for so long? Briggs tells her to stop, and yes it’s weird, but Fallon, you were wrong! You ruined Jensen’s big night!
But he won’t answer the phone! And… It was her tag partner’s big night. Fallon sees that. She wants to apologize to Kiana, in person. Will the Cowgirl make things right in the stable?
Meiko Satomura is with some NXT prospects.
“Today, you will learn to train my way. Can you survive?” They say yes, so they get set to begin. Roxanne Perez hurries over and asks if she can join in. Meiko says yes. They all do sit-ups, then push-ups, well into the double-digits. They then do circle squats, and fireman’s carries. One after another, the trainees drop out, but Roxie sticks with it. Next is 1000 SQUATS! Roxie sticks with it into the 700s but she’s the last one! She and Meiko make it to 1000, and she’s still standing. Roxie thanks Meiko for the session, but Meiko reveals it’s not done. Now, the real training begins! Roxie is game, but will she survive against the Final Boss?
Tyler Bate is here!
The Big Strong Boi is coming off a big strong win off Grayson Waller, and he goes to the ring to get the mic. “Hello, big strong boys and girls.” Fans duel, “We Want Waller!” “No We Don’t!” Bate says that a man of many words he is not, but he couldn’t help but sense the good vibes. He wants to come out here and share some gratitude. In sojourning the Atlantic to be here full-time in the USA, Bate must say, the love he’s received from most of the fans has infused in him a passion unbeknownst to his former self. He thanks us for that “spiffing support.” Even if it’s against Grayson Waller, Axiom, or Bron Breakker at World’s Collide.
But some things are just meant to be, right? Bate believes in the natural unfolding of things and in timing. So then, NXT, Bate will say this. Together, we are about to embark on a mystical journey! But then here comes the Schism! Joe Gacy tells Tyler, “We were preparing for Rip & Jagger’s match, and we couldn’t help but hear what you are saying. And we believe in some ways, that you and I are kindred spirits. We are forward thinkers.” Bate thanks Gacy for that, but he’ll pass on drinking whatever Kool-Aid he’s given his friends. Ava Raine says that The Schism may be kindred spirits with him in some ways, but not in all ways.
Gacy says Bate is funny, and he’s right. “The journey a man takes does matter. You just have to be careful who you surround yourself with. These people, they won’t help you. The Schism is a true family! While you left yours all the way across the ocean, groups like Chase U preach togetherness in the face of division. We gave Thea just a glimpse of what life could be like with us. And maybe, you would like to feel the power of our division right now. Heed our message.” Bate is all alone and surrounded. He has no one, but The Schism are four roots, one tree! But wait! Here comes Chase U! They chase The Schism off the apron, and it’s go time, after the break!
Chase U w/ Thea Hail VS The Dyad w/ The Schism!

Jagger lets off, the fans boo, but Jagger snapmares Chase to then stomp him down! Jagger drags Chase up, short arm LARIATS, and covers, TWO! Jagger clamps onto Chase to cobra clutch. Chase endures, fans duel, “FOUR ROOTS!” “CHASE U!” with the majority on Chase U’s side. But Rip tags in, The Dyad ripcord FOREARMS Chase down! “You think you’re a leader?” Chase throws body shots but Rip stomps Chase down. Rip gut wrenches for a SHOULDER BREAKER! Cover, TWO!

Hot tags to Jagger and Chase! Chase rallies on The Dyad, CHOPS and ROCKS and atomic drops each of them! Chase tells Rip off but Jagger pulls hair! Chase ROCKS Jagger in return! Chase fires off haymakers in the corner, but Rip goes after him! Chase kicks low, brings Rip around, and even catches Jagger! COMPLETE SHOT DDT COMBO! Fans fire up, Chase whips Jagger but Jagger reverses. Chase BOOTS Rip, Jagger waistlocks but Chase switches.
Jagger elbows free but Chase dodges the punch to hit a NECKBREAKER! Chase goes up top, to SUPER MOONSAULT Rip! Chase goes back up and fans are thunderous! FLYING CROSSBODY! Cover, Rip breaks it! Fans are fired up for “NXT! NXT!” Chase crawls, Jagger brings him up and throws a haymaker. Chase throws it back, so Jagger throws another. Chase throws a haymaker, Jagger throws it back, repeat!

Cover, The Dyad wins!!
Winners: The Dyad, by pinfall
The four roots used the numbers against Chase U’s “false family!” Duke gets mad and says Thea has to grow up and Chase has to let her grow up! “Is this a university or a charity?” Duke leaves in a huff while Thea hugs her cone. Thea blames herself but Chase tells her it’s not. Will Chase stop coddling Thea? Or is the trauma from The Schism too deep?
Robert Stone talks with Von Wagner.
Suit Man Stone asks Von if he’s made his decision yet. About what? Stone wants to know if Von is ready. Von asks what Stone expects from him. To share his deep, dark secrets? Von is here to kick ass and take names. Oh, good, real original, we’ve never heard that one before. But then Tony D’Angelo & Channing Lorenzo walks in. The Don asks if they’re interrupting. They are! Good, because they have a problem here. Last week, Von stole their North American title match from them! That doesn’t sit well with Tony or The Underboss. Von asks, “You talking to me?” Hah, clever. He should be a comedian.
But Stacks assures Von it won’t be funny when The Don throws a beat down on him! Oh, so they want a match? Now we’re talking. Stone wants Von to think. Don’t do this. Von agrees with Stone, and respectfully declines. Oh, respectfully? What? Stacks knew Stone was Von’s manager, but he didn’t know he was Von’s daddy, too. Stone has Von stand down but Tony tells Stacks that this is more like being a soccer mom. Stone’s probably got juice boxes and orange slices for Von and his imaginary friends. Stacks says instead of a contract, they should’ve brought a permission slip. Von gets mad now! They wanna fight? They’ve got one!
Tony says good, and he heads out with Stacks. Stone gets mad that Von just played into their hands! Von tells Stone to shut up, but will Stone be proven right? Or can Von still be a winner doing things his way?
Backstage interview with Charlie Dempsey & Drew Gulak.
McKenzie Mitchell is with these two gritty grapplers, and says everyone wants to know: Why did Gulak turn on his friend, Hank Walker, last week? Uh, friend? Are we reading the same dictionary here? Walker was not Gulak’s friend, he was some guy asking for help. Walker is the kind of guy who says he wants it, but that doesn’t mean he’ll get it. Gulak came to NXT not to hand out participation trophies, but to find the best of the best. And that is just not Hank Walker. That’s because Walker is a nice guy.
“To be successful here, you can’t be afraid to rip limbs from limbs. You can’t be afraid to step on people’s throats to get what you want, or tear their ligaments until you feel them snap. And that doesn’t describe Hank Walker. But do you know who that does describe? That’s Charlie Dempsey.” The two head out, will they tear limb from limb to become the best in NXT?
Sol Ruca speaks.
“What I love about the ocean is that no two waves are the same. They’re big, they’re small, they’re unpredictable. The NXT Women’s Division is the same. And that makes it quite challenging, but that’s what also makes it so fun. How boring would it be if everything was easy? Every day, I pick something. Something in the ring, some crazy gymnastics or skateboarding thing I see on TikTok, and I try it. And at first, I suck at it, and I feel like the biggest loser. But I keep at it and keep at it. I don’t care if it takes me three hours, and I eventually start to get it and I’m super pumped. When I finally hit something, it is the best feeling ever. I feel like I conquered the world.
“That’s the feeling I chase in the ring. And that’s the reason why I want another match with Zoey. Because eventually, I’ll nail that flip, land that trick, and there will even be a day that I beat Zoey Stark.” The Sol Surfer is in it to win it, but how long will it take?
Jacy Jayne VS Indi Hartwell!
The Toxic Traitor says SHE is the attraction now. But she has to prove she can stand on her own two feet first. Will she be more impressive than #IndiWrestling? Or will Indi show NXT is no longer toxic?
NXT returns and Indi makes her entrance. The bell rings and Jacy circles with Indi. They tie up, Indi wrenches and YANKS the arm. Indi wrenches again but Jacy knees low! Jacy CLUBS Indi, CHOPS her, then ROCKS her! Indi shoves Jacy back, ROCKS her, CHOPS her, but Jacy knees low again. Jacy whips but Indi reverses. Jacy bounces off buckles, Indi whips her into more buckles! Indi then short arm LARIATS! Fans fire up as Indi short arm LARIATS again! Jacy ducks the third to hit a NECKBREAKER! Jacy runs to add a SENTON, then she SENTONS again! Cover, TWO! Jacy is frustrated and shouts that it’s about HER!
Jacy stands Indi up but Indi throws body shots! Indi ROCKS Jacy, whips her out to the apron and then brings her in, only for Jacy to slip away! Jacy HOTSHOTS Indi down, then slides in to stand Indi up. Jacy whips, RAMS and clinches to throw knees. Jacy snapmares to PENALTY KICK then MULE KICK! Cover, TWO! Jacy is shrieking but she clamps on a chinbar half nelson. Fans rally for “INDI WRESTLING!” but Jacy tells them to shut up as she leans on the hold. Indi endures, fights up, but Jacy hops on! Indi stays up, but then drops to a knee! Indi sputters, Jacy says she sucks! Then she tells fans to shut up!
Indi gives a thumbs up as fans rally, and she stands up again. Only for Jacy to throw her down! Jacy says SHE is impressive, then thrashes Indi around. Indi still fights up, Jacy hops back on, but Indi RAMS her into buckles! And again! Indi THROWS Jacy off, Jacy staggers up and runs back in, but Indi ROCKS her! And again! Indi kicks, CLUBS and DECKS Jacy! Fans fire up as Indi hits a SPINEBUSTER! High stack, TWO! Jacy survives but Indi keeps on her. Indi stands Jacy up to CLUB her. Indi puts Jacy in the ropes, UPPERCUTS and BOOTS her down! Indi brings Jacy up to a fireman’s carry, but Jacy slips off! Jacy POSTS Indi!
Jacy then THROWS Indi into buckles! Jacy screams, runs and CANNONBALLS! Jacy has a wild grin and she drags Indi back up. Jacy stomps away on the corner, the ref reprimands but Jacy tells him to back off. Jacy stands Indi up, gives her a kiss on the cheek, for a BOOT WASH!! “IT’S ABOUT ME!!” Fans boo but Jacy isn’t done with Indi. “You’re just another number!” Jacy sets Indi up again, but GIGI DOLIN APPEARS! She TACKLES Jacy and fans are thunderous!
Winner: Jacy Jayne, by disqualification
Jacy gets the win but Gigi gets revenge as she RAMS her into barriers! And then MORE barriers! Gigi stomps but misses! But Gigi pursues Jacy to the back! Jacy might be facing some Toxic KARMA here! Will Gigi get even with Jacy as we’re on the Road to WrestleMania?
Roxanne’s training with Meiko Satomura continues.
They tie up in the ring, break, and Roxie again thanks Meiko for training with her. But they’re wrestling in two weeks, so why- Meiko stops Roxie there. No talk, only train. Okay. They tie up again and again. They practice kicks, in that Roxie has the kick pads and Meiko kicks at her. And then they spar with some mat wrestling. Roxie gets her turn to kick, grapple, and run the ropes. Meiko is like a statue as Roxie rams into her! That last one did it, though! Meiko says that is all for today, and Roxie thanks her again. Meiko says that to win, it comes from the heart, not the muscle. See you in two weeks. Roxie nods, and she knows what she’s up against now. Will the Prodigy be ready for the legend?
Backstage interview with Zoey Stark.
McKenzie asks The Hunter about the in-depth look at Sol Ruca, but Zoey stops her there. “I don’t give a damn what Sol Ruca wants. If she loves the ocean so much, she can go there, stay there, and never come back.” Zoey won, she is done with Sol. But here’s a question for McKenzie: Why does Meiko Satomura just automatically get a title match?! Uh, because- Zoey stops McKenzie again to add more questions. “Is it because Roxanne is such a little fangirl that she buys her a flight from Japan, and then just says, ‘Oh let’s go ahead and have a title match.'” McKenzie says it’s because Meiko is a living legend, and perhaps one of the most recognizable women’s wrestlers in history.
Zoey says that should be HER match! But then all the other women are kissing Meiko’s ass to earn Meiko’s respect! There is a reason that some of the best in the business respect what ZOEY does. But she’ll say this: If Meiko were to step into the ring with Zoey, Zoey will show us who the REAL Final Boss is! Zoey storms off, but is she getting in over her head?
Gallus VS Malik Blade & Edris Enofe!
Mark Coffey & Wolfgang agreed to give Pretty Deadly a tag title match, but as the theme song says, Malik & Edris are far from rookies. Will Malik & Edris earn their own tag title opportunity with a win over the champs? Or will we see Gallus Boys On Top even in non-title matches?
The teams sort out and Malik starts against Mark. They tie up, Mark puts Malik on ropes, the ref counts and Mark lets off. They tie up again, Malik puts Mark on ropes, and Malik lets off. Mark shoves hard, they tie up again and Malik headlocks. Mark powers out, Malik cartwheels around but Mark avoids the dropkick! Mark TOSSES Malik, then tags Wolfgang.

They’re dressed like Pretty Deadly but aren’t, but Mark hurries to stop Malik! Malik rolls, throws Mark into buckles, and then ducks the boot to hot tag Edris! Edris rallies on Mark, DROPKICKS Wolfgang, and then dodges Mark to yoyo and LARIAT! Edris goes up and up and SWANTONS onto Wolfgang! Fans fire up as Edris hurries up top again!

#GBOT, but they are curious about the cake. “Happy Anniversary?” One of the messengers says, “On behalf of Pretty Deadly, we would like to congratulate you on your two-year anniversary of losing the NXT UK Tag Team Championships to Elton Prince & Kit Wilson.” Mark DUNKS the guy’s face into the cake! And Wolfgang BOOTS the other guy! Then they CLOBBER each of them and throw them both out HARD! But then the REAL Pretty Deadly attack from behind, with chairs! They focus on Mark, and they whip him into the steel steps! Wolfgang comes back but gets mugged, then sent into the steps!
Pretty Deadly whip Mark back in! Then they throw Wolfgang into Mark! They say they’re not about fun and games anymore, this is THEIR tag division! They get Wolfgang up, SPINEBUSTERÂ on the steps!! Fans are torn as Pretty Deadly hold up the belts over Gallus. Elton & Kit are ready, but will they be able to take back the titles at Roadblock?
Dabba-Kato speaks.
“Apollo Crews. I can feel your anger. But that was me for over eight months! You were so busy looking into the future, you forgot about your own past. Let me remind you who helped you become the Intercontinental Champion at WrestleMania. For every big moment you ever had, I was there! You may have come back to NXT, but why? And where’s my call? Then on Vengeance Day, you thought like good old times, I came to help. I came to hurt. Apollo Crews can’t stand on his own. Without me, he has no future. APOLLO! Yeah, you might be the one who brought me into this world. But I will be the one who takes you out of it!”
Stevie Turner streams.
“Uh, hello, excuse me. Hi, guys! Stevie Turner here, and I am oh so excited for WrestleMania season. This week, I’ve been getting questions in on the NXT locker room, so I want to introduce my Stevie Randomizer! Oh, here we go. So who is it gonna land on? Lyra Valkyria! Get your questions in. Lyra is a woman of mystery, but she is no match for my fast fingers. Lyra follows the way of The Morrigan, a shapeshifting Irish deity associated with war. Sounds a bit freaky-deeky to me, but okay. Here’s a super chant from Charismatic Evan. ‘What’s with Lyra and her feathers?’
“It links back to the Morrigan. It takes the form of a raven in battle. Apparently, ever feather Lyra wears represents a battle she’s won. And here’s another super chat from Lil Clark. ‘How far do you see Lyra going?’ Well, Lyra is talented. But eventually, she will have to cross paths with me. And we know how that would go. She is no match for my forward thinking.” Vic Joseph wants to ask his own question, but Stevie apologizes, the stream is over. She signs off, but will all be answered when the Fourth Dimension collides with the supernatural?
Von Wagner w/ Robert Stone VS Tony D’Angelo w/ Channing Lorenzo!
Suit Man Stone wants Von to open up and be more than a meme, but will Von end up the butt of the joke once again? Or will Von prove he doesn’t need to change to do better?
NXT returns and makes his entrance. The bell rings, fans rally for Tony D as he and Von tie up. Von pushes The Don to a corner but Tony turns it around to then throw hands. Von shoves Tony, Tony whips and ELBOWS Von down! Tony brings Von up for body shots, but Von RAMS Tony into a corner! Von RAMS into Tony again and again, throws elbows, then brings Tony around for knees. Tony wrenches to ROCK Von! Von swings, misses, but he KNEES Tony down! Stacks coaches Tony but Von drags Tony up to whip him to a corner. Von then runs in to clothesline! Von smirks, whips Tony but Tony dodges to TACKLE Von!
Fans fire up, Tony fires hands on Von, but Von HEADBUTTS back! Von runs, BOOTS Tony down, and fans boo. Stone takes a seat and Von asks what he’s doing! Stone says he’s waiting on Von. Von is annoyed but he goes back to Tony. Tony ROCKS Von! Tony whips, Von KICKS him, and Von LARIATS! Von rains down fists on Tony, then drags Tony up to CLUB away on him!

Winner: Tony D’Angelo, by pinfall
Stacks celebrates with The Don and Stone asks Von why he even took this match. Kelly gets in the ring to interview Tony, asking about the continuing issues with Dijak. Tony says they could get into that, but Tony wants to talk about his guy’s loyalty. Stacks could’ve taken that Open Challenge with Wes Lee, or he could have Tony’s back. And Stacks chose to help Tony. Stacks says it’s family over everything. Tony appreciates that. Stacks gets it. But y’know who doesn’t? Mr. Street Justice Dijak! Tony tells Dijak that he’s been at this a couple of months, it is time to put this to an end. Kelly asks how Tony means that.
Funny she asks. He and Stacks have been going over some ideas, and Tony decided that he’ll handle it in the ring. “Dijak, listen. Me and you, one last time, NXT Roadblock, in a JAILHOUSE STREET FIGHT! Cuz listen, when it’s all said and done, I’m gonna be putting you in solitary confinement! You’ve got seven days to answer, don’t make me come find you.” The Don has thrown out the challenge, but will Dijak be more than happy to lock Tony up?
Backstage interview with Nikkita Lyons.
McKenzie says it is good to see her on the road to recovery, but also notes that no one has come forward as the attacker. Is there anything Lyons can tell us about that night? Lyons says her surgery was a success, that she’ll be out for 11 or 12 MONTHS, but her goal is to be back before a year is gone. She can’t tell us who it was, she was clipped from behind. One moment, she was walking outside, and the next, she was done. But in walks Tiffany Stratton. “Why is anybody still talking about you? All this is is a waste of TV time when it should be focused on The Center of the Universe.” Lyons says Tiffany sounds real sus.
Tiffany? Sus? Please! On the list of important things to do with her life, attacking Lyons in the parking lot is at the bottom of Tiffany’s list. Actually, even below the bottom. What’s below the bottom? Well, anyway, if it were Tiffany, Lyons wouldn’t be out a year. She’d be out PERMANENTLY! O M G, Tiffany Epiphany! What if Lyons vanishes from NXT for a full year? Ready, GO! Tootles. Tiffany leaves, Lyons is at a loss for words. Will Lyons make sure that no matter when she gets back, she starts her comeback with Tiffany?
Tatum Paxley is watching from the Diamond Dojo.
Ivy Nile walks in and asks about the Lyons situation. Still no idea who attacked her. We just know who didn’t. Is Ivy ready? Yep. Good luck out there. Wait, Tatum isn’t coming? No, she doesn’t wanna… Wait, is Isla getting to her? No, but- Tatum, c’mon, your Ivy’s partner. Isla is just doing this to get in their heads. Right, right. Ivy heads out, and Tatum looks to the Diamond Mine logo. Will Tatum crack under the pressure?
Carmelo Hayes checks on Trick Williams in medical.
He throws Trick a bottle of water and says he did the damn thing. But then smacks him a little too hard on the back. Melo is still proud of Trick. Trick says if they run it back, they know what time it is. Trick’s ready to get outta here and get some food, but Melo wants to watch the main event first, because he wants to see who comes out of it with the NXT Championship. Tyler Bate walks over to tell Trick that that was serious stuff in there against Dragunov. And dealing with a loss is always tough. But the journey has peaks and valleys. That said, good timber doesn’t grow with ease. The stronger the storm, the stronger the trees.
Trick likes that Dr. Seuss stuff! It’s like Bate is 25 and 75 at the same time. Thanks! Bate takes that as a compliment. Melo has a compliment here, and he doesn’t give those out that often. Bate is a strong minded dude, confident in who he is, but Melo knows who he is, because Melo is Him. Melo also points out to Bate that his journey has nothing to do with the NXT Championship. That’s all Melo. Trick Melo Gang head out, but will the Big Strong Boi show Melo the “natural flow” of things?
Ivy Nile w/ Tatum Paxley VS Alba Fyre w/ Isla Dawn!
The Diamond Mine has been under attack physically and always come out on top. But the sinister Scots have been getting at them mentally, and that might be a bit different. Will Fyre break the Diamond Pitbull? Or will the Diamond Pitbull put out the Fyre?
The bell rings and the two step up. They circle, tie up, and Fyre throws Ivy down! But Ivy fireman’s carries! Fyre fights free, shoves Ivy and SLAPS her! But Ivy just scowls, and TOSSES Fyre to a corner! Ivy fires off hands, Fyre pushes her back but Ivy ROCKS her! Cover, TWO! Fyre gets to ropes, Ivy whips but Fyre blocks. Fyre gets around, shoves Ivy into the ropes, and then stomps away! Ivy sputters, Fyre brings her up and suplexes to the GOURD BUSTER! Fans duel but Fyre PENALTY KICKS Ivy! Cover, TWO! Isla still smiles as Fyre clamps onto Ivy with a hammerlock. Fyre drags Ivy up and RAMS her into buckles!
Ivy staggers, into a LARIAT! Fyre snarls as she looms over Ivy. Fyre stands Ivy up, hammerlocks again, and she chinbars. Ivy pries that away but Fyre HEADBUTTS her! Fyre whips but Ivy reverses to send Fyre into buckles! Fyre staggers, swings, but Ivy counter punches! Ivy fires off hands, but Fyre knees low! Fyre whips, Ivy RANAS! Fyre ends up in a corner, fans fire up and Ivy runs in to CALF KICK! Ivy then scoops to carry Fyre, but Fyre slips free! Gory Especial, but Ivy sunset flips! TWO!! DIAMOND DRAGON!! But Isla distracts the ref! Tatum gets onto the apron to protest, but Fyre RAMS Ivy into Tatum!
Fyre snapmares Ivy away, SUPERKICKS, and then she drags Ivy back up! Gory Especial, GORY BOMB! Cover, Fyre wins!
Winner: Alba Fyre, by pinfall
Tatum supported Ivy and ended up costing her at the same time! Will Fyre & Isla soon take over the NXT Women’s Division as the devious duo they are?
Fallon meets Kiana in her office.
Giana sends Fallon in and Fallon sees it’s a new office. Kiana says that’s because business is great. Good to hear. But, she knows she ruined Valentine’s Day. She’s been thinking, and… Fallon admits she was wrong about Zack. Kiana surely had her reasons, but she also could’ve just said Zack was her brother. Kiana says she just wanted Fallon to trust her, but look how that turned out. Fallon apologizes again, and says she wants to get past this so they can defend their NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships. Will Kiana accept the apology? Kiana says they’re all human, so of course she accepts. Jealousy is a human emotion, after all.
Uh, Fallon’s not jealous. Fallon, it’s okay to admit it. Jensen and Kiana are spoken for and- And Fallon is happy for them. Well, okay, Kiana will believe Fallon is telling the truth, so long as Fallon believes Kiana. As in she has a brother, right? As in, believe Kiana has Jensen’s best interests at heart. Partners? Partners. They shake on it, but will this trust go all the way past Stand & Deliver?
Backstage interview with Wes Lee.
McKenzie is with the North American Champion and says it was a bit of a chaotic start to the Open Challenge last week. Wes agrees, but loved every minute of it! Wes does have a sore neck, though, and he gives Von his props. Von brought it. With Roadblock coming up and Stand & Deliver after that, what is next for the champ? Wes says this is why he loves her, she always has the hard hitting questions. He’d love to make it to LA as the NA Champ, but he can’t look too far ahead or he’ll forget what’s right in front of him. And Wes knows the fans love the open challenge as much as he does, and that there are plenty of cats who want their shot.
So next week, he’ll do it again! Wait, really? Yeah! Wes in the ring at 8 PM Eastern, seeing who is gonna step up, is just perfect. Okay, okay, but this puts him at a disadvantage. Why does he continue to do this? Wes says it’s just who he is. Then McKenzie loves that. They high five and Wes heads out, but who will snatch up the golden opportunity?
NXT Championship: Bron Breakker VS Jinder Mahal w/ Indus Sher!
There’s no denying that one year ago, the Big Booty Nephew got a big shock at the hands of the Show-Off. But he’s also grown and learned since then. Will he learn from his mistakes? Or will the Modern Day Maharaja make history repeat itself in more ways than one?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Bron hits a roadblock two weeks early!
The bell rings and fans sing “BRON BREAKKER SUCKS~!” a la the John Cena chants. Bron and Jinder tie up, Jinder waistlocks and SLAMS Bron! Then he runs to run Bron over! Fans rally behind Jinder as he talks trash on Bron. Jinder and Bron circle, tie up, and Jinder waistlocks again. Bron switches, Jinder elbows free and runs, to run Bron over again! Jinder says he’s a real champion! Bron gets up and Jinder backs off. But then Jinder fires off forearms, whips, but Bron hurdles the back drop to run Jinder over! Fans bark as Bron runs Jinder over again. Things speed up, Jinder leaps but into a SPINEBUSTER!
Bron clamps onto Jinder but Indus Sher gets Jinder out of the ring! Only for Bron to FLY and bowl them all over! Fans bark it up and Bron puts Jinder back in the ring. Jinder swings but Bron blocks to counter punch! And then HOTSHOT! Bron gets in, runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, btu DOUBLE LARIATS take both men down! Indus Sher get on the apron, but THE CREEDS attack! Julius & Brutus go after Veer & Sanga, refs rush out, and the brawl is on as NXT goes picture in picture!
The brawling goes up the ramp, even as security and producers get involved. Jinder kicks Bron, CLUBS Bron, puts him in a corner, and whips corner to corner hard! Jinder runs in to RAM into Bron, and then he CHOKES Bron on the ropes. The ref counts, Jinder lets off, but then digs his knee in to dig Bron into the mat. The ref counts again, Jinder lets off to CHOP Bron. Bron CHOPS back! Bron ROCKS Jinder, wrenches his arm, and has a hammerlock. Bron RAMS Jinder into buckles, and stalks Jinder as he staggers away. Bron wraps the arm around ropes and pulls! The ref counts, Bron lets off, but he puts Jinder in another corner.
Bron RAMS into Jinder, and again, and again. Bron lets off as the ref counts, to then scoop and SLAM Jinder! Cover, TWO! Bron clamps onto Jinder’s arm and grinds the shoulder. Jinder fights up, Bron wrenches, but Jinder elbows him away. Jinder CLUBS Bron, whips him corner to corner, but Bron stops himself to go up and over! Bron then gets the arm, ARM CODE BREAKER! Bron facelocks, stands with Jinder, and wants the arm again. Jinder endures the armlock and NXT returns to single picture. Fans rally, Jinder stands, and he scoops, only for Bron to slip free. Bron picks Jinder up to TOSS him! Cover, TWO!
Bron clamps back onto the arm, but Jinder fights up to pull on Bron’s ears! Jinder puts Bron in the ropes, lets off, but then BOOTS Bron down! Bron falls to the floor, Jinder goes out and SMACKS him off the desk! And again! Jinder brings Bron around and RAMS him into steel steps! Fans fire up and duel while Jinder refreshes the ring count. Jinder RAMS Bron back into the steps! Jinder drags Bron up by his straps to put him in the ring, and then covers, TWO! Jinder rains down fists while digging his knee into ribs! Jinder lets off, fans are torn, but Jinder stands Bron up. Jinder reels Bron in, but Bron blocks the suplex!
Jinder throws body shots, CLUBS Bron again, then CLUBS him again and again! Fans duel, Jinder drags Bron back up and suplexes again. Bron blocks, to suplex Jinder high and hard! Fans fire up while both men are down, and the barking continues. Jinder stands, Bron throws hands but Jinder gives them back. Bron throws haymakers but Jinder throws body shots. Bron eggs Jinder on, and they go fast ‘n’ furious! Fans fire up, Bron gets around, GERMAN SUPLEX! And then another GERMAN SUPLEX! Bron then whips to SPINEBUSTER! Fans fire up again as the straps come down! Bron waits on Jinder to stand while he aims from the corner.
Jinder staggers, but he sees Bron gearing up so he bails out! Bron hurries out, he throws body shots on Jinder, and SMACKS him off the desk in return! Bron then brings Jinder around into the ring, but runs into Jinder’s JUMP KNEE! Jinder suplexes high and HARD! Cover, TWO! Bron is still in this, he isn’t still champion for no reason. Jinder fireman’s carries Bron, for the GUTBUSTER DROP! Cover, TWO! Bron continues to show his toughness but Jinder SLAPS him! Jinder stands Bron up, SLAPS him again, and then again! Bron RAMS Jinder into a corner! Bron throws shoudler after shoulder!
The ref counts, Bron lets off, but Jinder BOOTS him! Jinder goes up, but Bron is right up after him! SUPER STEINER! Bron then hurries to stand Jinder up, suplex, POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO!! Bron’s busting out some wild stuff but Jinder wasn’t a former champion for no reason, either! Bron goes back to the corner, he goes up top now, and leaps, but Jinder BOOTS him out of the air! Jinder calls for the end, he wraps Bron up, but Bron arm-drags free! SPEAR OUTTA NOWHERE! Cover, Bron wins!
Winner: Bron Breakker, by pinfall (still NXT Champion)
Jinder wanted to derail Bron’s Road to WrestleMania Weekend, but he was the one getting run over! But wait! Melo is in the perch! Bron looks up to see him, but wait, someone is taking over the controls? NXT Stand & Deliver is coming, yes, but- WAIT! WALLER?! Grayson Waller is hijacking the show! He tells HBK, “You won’t let me on the show tonight, huh? But that’s okay, I took a plan out of the old DX playbook, and I took over the production truck! Didn’t I, idiots? Do not press that button! Because I’m the main event. I’m the new Showstopper! You’re Mr. WrestleMania? Well I’m Mr. Stand & Deliver! And that’s gonna be my show.”
Waller won’t be held back, even though he knows they’re gonna try. So how about talking about it? Two weeks, at NXT Roadblock, a very special episode of The Grayson Waller Effect, with the special guest being SHAWN MICHAELS! Waller asks what HBK thinks about that? Waller pushes past the cameraman and says no one can stop him, HE runs this now! But will Waller regret riling up the living legend?
My Thoughts:
Really good NXT, but not much of a main event. And I don’t mean that because it was obvious Bron would win, but that they didn’t give it a lot of time. They shoved two promo segments in right before it, taking away from time that really should’ve gone to this match. Granted, Wes Lee is good on the mic and I do like that he wants another open challenge before Roadblock, and possibilities are endless right now. But at least in Bron VS Jinder, they had time for Indus Sher to get involved, only to brawl with The Creeds. And I also like Waller calling out HBK in this fashion, because as he said himself, it was very Degeneration X. I bet on next week’s talk show segment, HBK brings out his proxy for facing Waller at Roadblock.
The other promo shoved right in before the main event was also well-done. Fallon makes amends with Kiana, next week will surely set up a tag title match for Roadblock or even Stand & Deliver, and there are a lot of choices there, too. But I just feel like they could’ve waited to have that promo later. I guess we’re to believe that with Fallon having that promo with Briggs in the first hour, and then the promo with Kiana in the second hour, Kiana’s business is located just one hour away from the Performance Center. But what I also liked out of the promo is that Kiana said Fallon is jealous. She implied it more that Fallon is feeling lonely seeing Kiana and Jensen together, but how do we know it isn’t jealousy from seeing Kiana is the one with Jensen and not Fallon?
Great opening match from Dragunov VS Trick, probably the best match all night. Trick looked great even in losing, but of course JD McDonagh was ringside to keep his eyes on Dragunov. McDonagh VS Dragunov is of course going to happen, can’t wait to see that. Tyler Bate had a good promo but he was obviously just waiting at the end for The Schism’s music to hit. Good tease of Gacy VS Bate, but also great to have Chase U to back Bate up. That’d be a fun Mixed 8 Person Tag. We got a really good match from Chase U VS The Dyad, but of course Ava and Thea become a distraction. Dyad wins, Duke is upset with Chase again, this could put some real stress on the Mixed Six I thought they’d do.
Bate also had a good promo with Trick that then branched into setting up Bate VS Melo. Melo likely wins to give him momentum going into Stand & Deliver and the title match with Bron. Good match from Gallus VS Malik & Edris, but naturally Gallus wins. The Pretty Deadly delivery boys with the cake were a good fake-out for the real Pretty Deadly to attack from behind. I kinda hope that after using the chairs and steps, we get a No Disqualification type tag title match to up things from all the previous times we’ve seen these teams face each other. And good promo from Dabba-Kato to call out Apollo, I kinda want that to have a stipulation, too, since there’s so much animosity.
Really good stuff out of Von, Stone, Tony & Stacks. Von is basically one-dimensional on purpose because he doesn’t care to open up, though he oddly did show some character by using “You talking to me?” on Tony & Stacks. Von VS Tony was good stuff but of course Tony wins. Tony calling out Dijak for the Jailhouse Street Fight is cool, though that name doesn’t really work. How is it a street fight, aka a fight in the street, if it’s in a jailhouse? Just call it a Jailhouse Match. That match will be awesome no matter what, though, and could go either way. As for Von, still unsure where this is going but I’m sure they’ll make the ride worth it.
Good stuff from Jacy VS Indi but I did not think Gigi would show up tonight. And certainly not before Jacy’s match was over. But I guess Gigi and Jacy can have their grudge match for Roadblock, and then the winner moves on to something bigger at Stand & Deliver. Stevie Turner continues to deliver her livestreamer promos well, but I guess Cora is still out for undisclosed reasons. Maybe Lyra VS Stevie is interrupted by Cora and we get Lyra VS Cora for Roadblock or something. And good promo from Lyons to establish her recovery timeline, and fittingly mean response from Tiffany. Maybe the reveal of who attacked Lyons is part of Roadblock and it somehow makes a match between the culprit and one of Lyons’ only friends, like Indi or Lyra.
Sol Ruca had another good vignette, and Zoey Stark had a good response to it. Zoey calling out Meiko was rather surprising, and I’m pretty sure Meiko wins that match. Meiko and Roxanne had good stuff in the workout vignette. It established the difference in their power levels, making it clear Roxie is the underdog champion, but Roxie will definitely still retain the title. Again, doing such a big match for Roadblock is confusing, but again, we could get something that at least NXT sees as bigger for Stand & Deliver, like Roxie VS Cora or Roxie VS Jacy. If Roxie isn’t beating a legend at Stand & Deliver, Roxie needs to settle things with someone she has a personal grudge against.
My Score: 8.6/10

As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news. Bad news: Due to circumstances beyond his control, Cash Wheeler cannot be here tonight. That’s the bad news. The good news is, one half of FTR is here tonight in the great Dax the Ax! And hey, Stokely has been working on his Espanol all day. “Grassy ass, thank you!” Still messed it up… But with that, the rest of Team Rudo make their way out, starting with Volador, followed by the Don Callis y Hechicero.
On the other side, ROH World Champion Bandido leads the way for his team, followed by Templario and the Atlantis father and son. Then Brody King and Daniel Garcia follow, saving TNT Champion, Adam Cole, for last! The fans join in for the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” These massive teams sort out, and Bandido steps up against the Alpha, Konosuke Takeshita. The fans fire up behind the Most Wanted while he and Konosuke circle. They approach, Konosuke trips Bandido and things speed up. Bandido stays low, then hurdles, but Konosuke leaps over.

Volador bails out, and we get a TEMPLAROONI! Templario then handsprings to SASUKE SPECIAL! Direct hit on Volador, and now that lets Brody King step in. The fans bark and Dax realizes he’s alone with this Hound of Hell. Dax offers a handshake, but Brody CHOPS him down! Archer storms in as Dax scrambles out, and the Murderhawk Monster CLUBS Brody!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion)
Even Mone is a bit surprised, but she flipped things around on Zeuxis and has taken yet another title! Mone holds up the FIVE championships in her collection and the streams fly! Will The CEO only add to her treasury when she and- Wait, speaking of Toni Storm, she’s on the tron! “She’s the kind of woman who always has money on her mind and someone else on her lips. She’s the kind of woman mother takes home to you. With thighs as big as the world and long as a wet dream. One thing she did know how to hold the gold, and not the Acapulco kind, either. She had a date with a Chief Executive Officer who wanted a kiss, but one belt too many.
“Deepthroat some tabasco, baby, it’s time to turn up the heat. There was one chance in a million she would bump into her past, but like everything out of the past, it was all behind her now.” The fans cheer as the noir narration ends, because surprise! That’s… Mina Shirakawa? Because Toni Storm sneaks into the ring from the crowd! The fans fire up as the lady in red takes a sniff of the gold. Mone realizes what’s going on now, and Toni reels her in for a FIVE BELT GERMAN SUPLEX!! Toni goes from Marlowe to Brando to fire off on her contender! The fans cheer as Mone runs away and Toni gives her chase! She gets Mone at the ramp but the refs stop her!
The fans boo and Mone scrambles away through the streamers! One lucky fan gets Mone to hug her as she cowers in fear. Toni grabs a mic to shout, “Let the games begin~!” Toni revels in the streamers while Mone pulls at her hair in frustration! Will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one belt Mone doesn’t take?
10 Man Tag: The Death Riders, The Young Bucks & The Beast Mortos VS Swerve Strickland, Will Ospreay & The Opps!
Well, one more “Card Subject to Change.” As if it isn’t already weird that Jon Moxley is willing to work with Matthew & Nicholas Jackson, Our EVPs somehow managed to recruit LFI’s monstrous minotaur to their side! Will having such a behemoth on their side help The Maniac, The Decoder & The Founding Fathers survive the night? Or will The Realest, The Aerial Assassin & the AEW World Trios Champions give us some anarchy in Arena Mexico?
The teams sort out and despite the black eye and bandaged forehead, Ospreay insists he start. His team obliges and the fans cheer him on as he starts against Matt, one of the men responsible for that. The bell rings, and Matt quickly tags out to Mortos.

Then CHOP after CHOP for the Bucks! Nick CLAWS the bad eye! The ref reprimands but Matt gives Nick the boost into the RANA! The Bucks soak up more heat and then Nick tags Yuta. Yuta gets even more boos, but then Ospreay BACKDROPS him! Tag to Swerve and the fans fire up! Swerve & Ospreay whip Yuta to the corner!

The Problem is always a factor, but this isn’t done as Yuta & The Bucks beat up on Joe! Then the Bucks SUPERKICK Swerve! Moxley has a SLEEPER on Swerve, then feeds him to the SUPERKICKS! Moxley puts the SLEEPER back on, but HERE COMES HANGMAN!! The Cowboy told us about the ringside ban, but also mentioned that once the match was over, it was fair game!

Hangman says he told them, they stay out of his business or else! But now Moxley has the briefcase! Only for Hangman to spot him first. Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?
My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10
