NXT Media catches up with Dijak.
What are his thoughts on the WWE Draft? “If Raw or SmackDown want Hard Justice, they know where to find me.” Then what about that encounter with Ilja Dragunov last week? “Ilja Dragunov was the most feared man in NXT until I stepped in the ring with him.” Dijak is done with questions and he shoves the cameraman aside. Apollo Crews sees that and says that was completely unnecessary. Apollo says this guy was just doing his job. Dijak says to worry about yourself and stay out of his way. Apollo’s in Dijak’s way. Oh, okay. The Draft is coming, Apollo wants to show up and show out. Fine. Let’s go tonight. Apollo says his schedule’s wide open. Will we see WWE Draft boards change after these two collide?
Nathan Frazer presents: Hard Hitting Home Truths.
The British Skyrocket welcomes us to the very first edition of his brand new show! This is quite the shocker, isn’t it? Surprise, he’s more than a guy who can just flip. This will be a show where you learn a little bit about Nathan, and maybe a little bit about yourself. Now, back in October, he suffered a gruesome injury at Halloween Havoc. And since returning, it hasn’t been going so well. Going 1v1 with Wes Lee, being in a Battle Royal, going 1v1 with Dragon Lee, he comes agonizingly close but you can tell, something’s missing. It’d be easy to get sad or down in the dumps, but he came to a realization. And it doesn’t just apply to him, but to everyone on the NXT roster who’s lost matches.
“This place is freakin’ cutthroat, right? A locker room full of studs and… studettes.” Is that right? Well, go with it. But you fail for three seconds against a world-class athlete, and that’s okay! Everyone here is of such a quality that if you weren’t good enough, you wouldn’t be here. No need to bitch, moan or complain. Just look inward. That realization Nathan had is that he could never be sad or down if he never slows down. He doesn’t mean that because he moves insanely fast, but he means in life. Speed defies gravity. That’s how planes fly! They’re too fast to fall. If you’re constantly improving, attacking life, then unhappiness can’t catch you.
With that said, time to practice what he preaches and get back in that ring. But for now, he’s gotta love ya and leave ya. Until next time, this has been Hard Hitting Home Truths.
Noam Dar VS Myles Borne!
The Scottish Supernova, Mr. Supernova 11, the Heritage Cup Champion is finally getting back in the ring! Will this 11 keep it 100 and show us why he’s at the very top?
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, go around, and Borne puts Dar on the ropes. The ref counts, Dar shoves Borne away, then swaggers. But Borne rushes in to waistlock and SLAM! Borne facelocks, gator rolls, but Dar slips free to get around and headlock. Borne powers out, things speed up, and Dar avoids the hurdle to sweep the legs! Fans duel, Dar toys with Borne and throws knees. Borne catches Dar to RAM him into a corner! Borne fires off hands, the ref counts, and Borne lets off at 4. Borne whips but Dar blocks to kick, ROCK and then go up! Dar brings Borne in for overhead elbows!
The ref counts, Dar lets off and fans boo as Borne crawls to the apron. Dar drags Borne up and through the ropes, but then lets him go, to KICK him in the face! Borne flounders but he throws body shots in return. Dar KICKS and KICKS and KICKS, and Borne drops to his knee. Dar taunts Borne, BOOTS him, then KICKS him! Fans boo but Borne blocks a boot! Dar SLAPS Borne, but Borne ROCKS Dar! Borne DECKS Dar, DROPKICKS Dar, and fans fire up with Borne! Dar rushes in but into an OVERHEAD suplex! Borne hobbles after Dar, waistlocks, but Dar holds ropes. Dar throws back elbows to get free.
Borne rushes in but into a KNEE! Dar runs in to fake him out and BACK ELBOW! Borne is dazed, Dar runs in, NOVA ROLLA!! Cover, Dar wins!
Winner: Noam Dar, by pinfall
Fans are torn but the technical savagery gave the Supernova a win. Will Dar reestablish himself at the very top of NXT?
Roxanne Perez.
“Zoey Stark. The WWE Universe knows you can go in the ring, and you definitely get your flowers for it. But that doesn’t give you free range to run people down the way you do. Preying on people who you perceive as weak just makes you the weakest one of all. Tonight, you’ll learn that character triumphs over talent every single time. On another note, I want to regain my NXT Women’s Championship from Indi, and Tiffany Stratton, I know you’re listening. You and your entitled, self-inflated opinion believes you’re the #1 contender. If I have to go through you to get my title back, then that’s exactly what I’ll do. Tonight, Zoey Stark, I shut you up.”
How hard will the Prodigy fight to prove she’s still the best in NXT?
Kiana James is hard at work.
Josh Briggs walks in and asks if she has a minute. Oh, she has more than a minute since she’s not tag team champion anymore because of Briggs and Fallon. Okay, yeah, sorry about that. But can she talk to Brooks Jensen about him? Why would she ever help him again? Remember that rough patch after Valentine’s Day? Briggs helped you two through that. And look at them now! Yeah, Kiana is the best thing that’s ever happened to Jensen. Please, Kiana. Sorry, Josh, but Jensen’s not gonna go for it. He didn’t wanna see Briggs last week, and he doesn’t wanna see him now. Briggs knows how Jensen can get but, they share a bond. They started together, took on the world together!
Whatever is going on, it can’t end like this. He needs Kiana on this. Oh, this is all her fault? No! Just please, talk to Brooks. Why not talk to him yourself? Because in walks the fully made-over Brooks Jensen! They let Briggs in this time, or did he have to break in again? Heh, good one. What is he wearing? Kiana says he looks great. Jensen thanks her for the compliment. And he tells Briggs that he should just go. Go? No! They gotta talk this out like family! Come back to the bar, have a cold one, and they can hash this out. Jensen yells at Briggs! They’re NOT family! Jensen is tired of being treated like some kid!
Kiana treats Jensen like a man. Briggs says he and Fallon never looked at Jensen any other way than as a brother. The man who pushed Briggs down, who is standing right here, Briggs doesn’t know this guy. Jensen says this is a man who makes his own decisions. And his decision is that Briggs should leave. Now. Briggs says he shouldn’t have come. Did we see two tag teams break up in the fallout of last week?
Odyssey Jones VS ???
#SoundTheAlarm, because we’re entering the O-Zone! WAIT! Bron Breakker SPEARS Odyssey outta nowhere!! Fans bark it up but others boo, why did the Big Booty Nephew attack Odyssey?! Bron gets a mic to ask Odyssey, “Does that hurt? That’s what happens when you get in my way!” Fans boo more but Bron says last week, he came out here to tell the fat rednecks that they’re gonna see a different side of him. And he couldn’t help it, he had to put a stop to that pathetic Chase U nonsense, where everyone gets a trophy nowadays. It’s pathetic! They’re all clowns! If you wanna be clowns, join the circus, because it won’t happen on HIS time anymore!
Bron says Odyssey just felt it. The NXT Champion, “I AM HIM~” felt it. And Andre Chase felt it. Bron is- “Keep Andre Chase’s name out your damn mouth!” DUKE HUDSON is here! He steps out from the Chase U student section, MVP trophy in hand. Did “Bronnie” hear Duke? Keep that name out your mouth! Bron made a very big mistake when he ruined Duke’s award ceremony! AND he tore the Chase U flag in half! He threw it down over Andre Chase! Why? Because Bron lost the title? Is Bron sad? Moping around the place, not liking anyone or anything now. Fans chant “LOSER~! LOSER~!” at Bron.
Duke says no one puts down Chase U and gets away with it, not even Bron Breakker! So here’s what’s gonna happen. Spring Breakin’, Duke has a challenge for Bron Breakker. Fans cheer that, and Bron says that’s funny. The last time he saw Duke, Duke grabbed his trophy and ran faster than anyone’s ever seen him move! Duke’s real tough with seven days to prepare. Fine, take those seven days. Take all the time he needs, because at Spring Breakin’- Oh wait, Bron thought Duke was done talking? That’s funny, too! He thought Duke was done! NO NO NO! The MVP is not done talking!!
Duke tells Bron to look at him. Fans chant “MVP! MVP!” for Duke, and Duke tells Bron that next week, it will be a battle of the giants! It’ll be Bron VS the legend, the beacon of hope, the beating heart of Chase University…!! Andre Chase. And Chase will give Bron a Chase U sized ASS WHOOPING! Bron tells Chase to enjoy these next seven days, because they will be the last seven days Chase has. At Spring Breakin’, Bron spears Chase in half and brings an end to Chase U! Did Professor Chase give Duke the OK to make this match? Or will Bron be in for a #TeachableMoment?
Backstage interview with Cora Jade.
McKenzie Mitchell is with NXT’s Punk Rock Mean Girl, and says it has been one week since Cora called out and cut down the top stars in the NXT Women’s Division. Does she regret any of those comments? What kind of question is that? That was Cora being nice. The only thing she regrets is Lyra Valkyria cutting her off before she could finish with the rest of the roster. Cora says there was a lot more she could’ve said about a lot more people. But speaking of interrupting, Gigi Dolin steps in! Cora didn’t “cut down” anyone. She showcased the displacement of her anger. And Gigi knows that because she learned to channel her anger into the ring.
That’s what’s in store for Cora tonight. Because this “big Instagram famous ass” is gonna kick Cora’s tonight. Gigi heads out, Cora snaps at McKenzie then takes her own leave. Will the Toxic Avenger tear into Cora twice as hard as Cora tired tearing into everyone else?
Backstage interview with Pretty Deadly.
McKenzie talks with Kit Wilson & Elton Prince about the back and forth with Tony D’Angelo & Channing Lorenzo. Things are escalating, and last week was a rather brutal ambush. Elton says after what those two did to Kit, their attack was justified. Kit loved how Elton smashed Tony into the wall. The only way to get through to those “animals” is to speak their language. Kit says Tony & Stacks beat him down, shoved him in a trunk, Kit was panicking for his life. But of course Pretty Deadly ends up the bad guys! Typical idiocy! Kit vows Elton won’t have to go through that again.
And you tell Tony & Stacks what happens when you take Pretty Deadly for just two good looking guys. You get left beaten down! And surely those two will want payback, so Pretty Deadly will hand out another beating. And they’ll even throw the rulebook out to play Tony’s game. Anything Goes! Next week, Tony & Stacks will be in the trunk and sleeping with the fishes. Will Elton & Kit get payback on The Don & Underboss? Or will they just have to fogedaboutit?
Roxanne Perez VS Zoey Stark!
The Prodigy may have lost her title but she hasn’t lost her fighting spirit. Will she show The Hunter who is really the prey? Or will this be a stark contrast to how things were before Stand & Deliver?
NXT returns and Stark makes her entrance. The bell rings, the two tie up, and Stark throws Roxie down! Zoey kicks Roxie around, wrenches the arm and YANKS it, then wristlocks. Zoey wrangles Roxie, Roxie kips up and arm-drags! Zoey is already mad and she kicks a buckle. Fans sing, “Oh~ Zoey is Angry~!” The two tie up, Roxie waistlocks then arm-drags, but Zoey blocks it! Zoey brings Roxie up but Roxie arm-drags from the other side! And arm-drags again! Armlock to cover, TWO, so it’s back to the armlock. Roxie brings Zoey up, wrenches, and YANKS the arm in return. Roxie wrenches and YANKS the arm again! And again!
Roxie headlocks, Zoey fights up but Roxie thrashes the hold. Zoey tries again but Roxie hits a flying takeover! They go around, Zoey headscissors, but Roxie pushes back and rolls back. Roxie pops free, hops on for a headlock, and fans duel. Zoey fights up, throws body shots, and she gets a leg! Roxie sunset flips out of the shinbreaker, but avoids a stomp. Roxie rolls Zoey up, TWO! Roxie waistlocks, Zoey bucks the O’Conner, and then Zoey runs Roxie over. Fans boo but things speed up. Zoey handsprings over Roxie but Roxie headlocks! Zoey powers Roxie to a corner but Roxie hits a TORNADO TAKEOVER!
Fans fire up as Roxie has Zoey down again. Zoey fights up, powers out, and they RAM shoulders. Roxie stays up, Zoey dares her to run so she does. Roxie RAMS Zoey, Zoey stays up so Roxie rebounds to wheelbarrow and sunset flip! TWO! Roxie eggs Zoey on, then dodges her to roll and head- NO, Zoey pushes the headscissor away to KICK Roxie in the side! Roxie sputters to ropes but Zoey is on her. “You asked for this!” Zoey throws elbows and uppercuts, then she snapmares. Zoey drops a knee on Roxie’s face! Zoey stands Roxie up to ROCK her with a forearm. Zoey whips, Roxie ducks ‘n’ dodges and tilt-o-whirls to RANA!
Fans fire up as Zoey tumbles out of the ring! Roxie builds speed and DIVES, but into a fireman’s carry! SNAKE EYES off the apron! Zoey laughs and soaks up the heat as NXT goes to break.
NXT returns again and Roxie throws body shots. Zoey kicks low, whips, but Roxie comes back to tilt-o-whirl into an IRON OCTOPUS! But Zoey powers her right out, and puts her in the Tree of Woe! Zoey stomps a mudhole in, then Roxie falls to the mat. Zoey gets the legs to CATAPULT Roxie into buckles! Roxie falls but Zoey clamps on a cravat. Zoey has the neck wrench but fans rally up. Roxie fights up, and jumps for a JAWBREAKER! Zoey comes back, but into an ELBOW! Zoey swings, Roxie counter punches! And again! Roxie gets the edge with furious fists! Roxie windmills on Zoey at the ropes!
Roxie whips, Zoey reverses and fireman’s carries, but Roxie fights free. Roxie shoves, THESZ- NO! Zoey catches Roxie to SLAM her down, and CATAPULT her again! But Roxie lands on the ropes! Roxie goes up and up and FLYING THESZ PRESS! Fast hands, too! Roxie roars and fans fire up! Roxie dodges Zoey, DROPKICKS her out of the ring, then builds speed!

Cover, Roxie wins!!
Winner: Roxanne Perez, by pinfall
A huge victory for the former champion and she’s on her way back up! Roxie gets a mic, but then Indi Hartwell makes her way out. Indi also has the mic to congratulate Roxie. Indi said a few weeks ago but she’ll come out and say it to Roxie’s face. Indi isn’t standing here champion if not for Roxie. And Indi wouldn’t be much of a champion if she didn’t return the favor to someone who didn’t really lose her title in the first place. Indi wants to be a fighting champion, so that means for Spring Breakin’, how about Indi VS Roxie for the title? Fans like the sound of that!
Roxie tells Indi, “You’re my friend inside and outside of this ring. But you and I both know when it comes to that title, it’s every woman for themselves. Spring Breakin’? You’re on!” Fans cheer as these two shake hands, only for Tiffany Stratton to walk out. “What did I just witness? Did I go blind or something? Another woman getting a title match instead of me? Shocker! Indi, why don’t you just call your title reign for what it actually is: pure dumb luck. You barely climbed up that ladder, and now you’re just handing out title matches to random, beatable opponents?”
Roxie cuts Tiff off there to say, “I’m sorry, beatable? Seems like Ms. Center of the Universe has some pretty bad memory, because I don’t know if you remember… But if I was so beatable, you would’ve beat me to win the Breakout Tournament, but you didn’t.” Tiff says that is so 2022. And do not spin this. Roxie is just excited to face the most beatable champion- Indi shouts “ENOUGH!” Indi tells Tiff that Indi is beatable, but screw it! “It doesn’t matter if you’re a former champion, or a bimbo who thinks she has my number. At Spring Breakin’, I’ll prove I’m worthy by beating both of you!” Fans fire up as the stakes are raised! Will Indi truly be impressive next week?
Backstage interview with Grayson Waller.
McKenzie is with the 21st Century Success Story, and his golden Shoey, and he asks if she saw that last week. He was holding his Shoey high in the sky. Yes, but she also saw a lot of people questioning how he became #1 contender, considering he lost to Johnny Gargano in an Unsanctioned match. Yeah, unsanctioned! Meaning, it is unofficial and unrecognized on the records. But he’ll translate it into American since it’s so hard to understand Australian: “Tha match, did not~, happen~.” People are preying on his downfall but it ain’t gonna happen, cuz Waller is back on top! He IS NXT!
And tonight on the Grayson Waller Effect, it’s very different. Waller usually dislikes his guests, but he likes Melo. Who’s better than Melo? Well, Waller knows one guy. But Waller is going to tell Melo to his face that he is taking that title. And then next week, Spring Breakin’, Waller physically takes that title from Melo! And that’s no prediction, that is the Grayson Waller Effect. Waller heads out, but will things really go his way both tonight and next week?
NXT shares footage from after last week’s show.
Von Wagner tried talking with Robert Stone about the stipulation. Von lost, he and Stone are done as a duo, but Von didn’t want Stone to leave him. Stone told Von no. But Von’s ready! Oh? Why is Von ready now? Because he lost the match? He’s finally going to open up now? Yes! Stone doesn’t believe that. Von is desperate, so he says, “My name is Von Wagner, and I always wanted to be in the WWE, because this is in my blood. And my dad was a Beverly Brother.” Stone smiles. He pats Von on the shoulder and says that’s a good start. So then, is Stone giving Von one last chance?
Axiom speaks.
“When I look into the mirror, I don’t see a man behind the mask. I only see Axiom. Axiom is my identity. But Scrypts, you lurk in the shadows, disguise your voice, and talk in riddles. Why? To create fear? To intimidate? All superheroes have an archnemesis, a person they were destined to be intertwined with forever. You are not mine. When we meet, I will beat you, I will expose you, and I will be done with you. Sincerely, Axiom.”
Dani Palmer posts a video.
She captioned it, “So proud of my buddy, Tank. Now it’s my turn! Grateful to have such amazing people in my corner like Hank and Sol.” Sol & Dani do a dance together, but then Hank Walker has everyone cheer on Tank Ledger, NXT’s newest superstar! All the trainees cheer and hug it out. Dani says she was so excited for Tank, and he looked so good out there. How did it feel? It was unlike anything Tank’s experienced before. That energy was pulsing through him. And when Dani debuts, she’ll feel it. Dani is so excited, too! Mostly. Maybe. Dani, you bust your ass every single day. When she debuts, they’ll all watch as she crushes it.
Sol gives Dani a lift, and Tank tries with Hank. They head out, but will Daredevil Dani prove she’s ready to level up?
Cora Jade VS Gigi Dolin!
These two are no strangers to each other. But after a toxic feud, both women have come out very different people. Will the #GenerationofJade make good on all the trash she talked? Or will Gigi make Cora eat all those words?
NXT returns and Cora makes her entrance. The bell rings and the two tie up. Cora gets around and pushes Gigi. Fans boo, they tie up again and Gigi gets around to full nelson, spin and snapmare Cora into a chinlock. Cora pulls hair, fights up and wrenches out. Gigi stands, rolls, bridges, and then kicks Cora! Cora goes toa corner, but Gigi runs in to forearm smash! Gigi snapmares Cora and PENALTY KICKS! Cover, TWO! Gigi spins Cora again, snapmares and KICKS her in the back! Fans fire up and Gigi runs in at the corner to BRONCO BUSTER! Gigi drags Cora out, jackknife bridges, TWO!
Cora scrambles but Gigi pursues. Cora BOOTS Gigi away and shouts, “I run this place!” Cora ELBOWS Gigi against ropes but fans rally up. Cora runs to IMPLODER STOMP! Cover, ROPEBREAK! Gigi keeps herself in this but Cora stomps her. Cora SMACKS Gigi off the mat, then clamps on a straitjacket stretch. Fans chant “CORA SUCKS!” and Gigi fights the hold. Gigi stands, turns things around on Cora, and then hits a STRAITJACKET BACKSTABBER! Cora staggers, Gigi fires off forearms! Gigi whips Cora, BOOTS her down, then keeps moving to ROUNDHOUSE! Gigi wrenches and ROUNDHOUSES again!
Gigi runs but Cora spins her through to ROCK her with a right! SHINING- NO, Gigi blocks the knee at the ropes! Cora holds ropes, slingshots around, but JACY JAYNE is here! Gigi avoids the boot but Cora has the cover! TWO! Gigi BOOTS Cora down again, Jacy talks trash, but Gigi TOSSES her into the ring! Fans fire up as Gigi storms up on Jacy and TACKLES her to the apron! Jacy hurries away, but Gigi catches her to send her into steel steps! Fans fire up as Gigi gives Jacy some Kawada Kicks! Gigi says this is what she gets, and then she TOSSES Jacy over the desk! Jacy wipes out Booker T!!
Gigi goes back to the ring, laughs at Jacy, but Cora SHINING WIZARDS at the ropes! FUTURE SHOCK!! Cover, Cora wins!
Winner: Cora Jade, by pinfall
Jacy gets up and now she laughs at Gigi! Jacy ruins another match for Gigi, but then Gigi chases Jacy out of ringside! Will this toxic grudge not end until only one is left standing?
As for Cora, she gets a mic to say, “Another vic-” WAIT! Lyra Valkyria is here! The Morrigan tells Cora from the perch that “The time for talking is over. Next week, your claim to be the savior of the women’s division will be tested when the two of us engage in battle, at Spring Breakin’!” Cora says she’s ready, but will the fate of #GenerationJade be changed forever?
Backstage interview with Eddy Thorpe.
McKenzie is with the Alpha Wolf, and says he has had quite the start here. What’s next? Eddy is still soaking it in that he’s here. When he left home, he traveled all over the US, Canada, the UK, and Japan. He slept on dusty gym floors, inside warehouses, and even in his car. Every day for eight years, he focused on enhancing his skill set and gaining knowledge to make sure he was more than ready for this moment to make his family proud. When people think of Native Americans, there are these stereotypes built in their minds. But Eddy is here now to succeed and- Damon Kemp walks over with a sarcastic clap, and says that was a powerful speech.
Eddy says that was no speech. Damon says easy now, he was just watching from afar. Damon was checking out the new guy and seeing what all the buzz was about. Oh, so he’s giving Eddy a look? What did Damon get? To be honest, he was very impressed. “Keep up the good work, kid. You might have something.” The Golden Gopher leaves, but will the Alpha Wolf prove he’s more than just potential?
Briggs returns to Fallon’s bar.
He just can’t make any sense of this. Briggs is trying to be the bigger man, but Jensen flat out said they’re not family. Fallon says Kiana has Jensen wrapped around her finger. Maybe once he cools off, Jensen will come around? They can only hope. But then Kiana and Jensen walk in. Jensen looks nice, what’re they having? Oh, they’re not drinking here. Well, okay. Briggs is happy Jensen is here. Jensen said some pretty rough stuff, and- Oh, no, no, Jensen meant every word of that. Briggs has been holding Jensen back since day one. And Kiana reminded Jensen that he was the star of the team.
As for Fallon, she was just jealous that Jensen and Kiana have a great relationship. So despite them ruining Valentine’s Day and breaking into Kiana’s office- Briggs stops Jensen there. If Jensen wants to run around with his cheating girlfriend, fine. But Briggs won’t let Jensen talk to Fallon or him like this. Why’d they even show up then? Kiana lets Jensen tell them. Jensen says he and Kiana are challenging Briggs & Fallon to a Mixed Tag Match for Spring Breakin’! Wow, Briggs never thought he’d see the day. But if that’s the only way to knock some sense into Jensen, then get ready for an ass kicking!
And Fallon’s fine with that. She’s been wanting to get her hands on Kiana for months now. If anyone’s handing out beatings, it’s Jensen & Kiana. They hold hands as Kiana says, “Did you hear that, honey?” Oh, okay. Kiana wanted #YeehawBitch Fallon, she’s got it! Challenge accepted! Now get the hell outta here! Aw, oh no. Bye. Jensen & Kiana don’t care about anyone else now that they have each other, but will they really get past their former friends so easily?

Fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” but will this have to wait for another time?
NXT Media catches up with Jacy Jayne.
They ask why she keeps inserting herself into Gigi’s business, but Jacy says if Gigi thought her life was tough before, that is nothing compared to what Jacy will put her through. And Gigi forgot to mention that when she was 17, she abandoned her sweet baby brother, the one she claims to love and care for so much! She left him all alone to endure their mother’s abuse. The way Jacy sees it, Gigi’s no noble hero. Gigi would rather wrestle on the indies or couch surf than to save her baby brother from their drug addict mom. Just imagine leaving your seven year old brother fending for himself. Makes Jacy sick.
But when Jacy is done with Gigi, Gigi will run away from NXT, just like she ran away from her family. Talk about toxic… Will Jacy dragging Gigi through the mud only come back to bite her?
NXT North American Championship: Wes Lee VS Charlie Dempsey w/ Drew Gulak!
Tonight started with a big title fight, and now we end with one! The Cardiac Kid has been a fighting champion because he knows no other way to be. But will that only lose him his title sooner? Or can he survive the Son of the Gentleman Villain?

Tony D’Angelo & Channing Lorenzo have dinner.
But neither seems to be in a good mood. Tony says Pretty Deadly ripped Stacks’ jacket, and Stacks says they destroyed Tony’s hat. Mama gave Tony that hat. Pretty Deadly wants to end this with no rules, “We speak your language~.” What streets those boys ever been down? Maybe Tony & Stacks take ’em down to the docks. Tony likes where Stacks’ head is at, but he’s got a different idea. Like what they did to Bobby Montgomery back in the day. Remember that? Yeah, that was the toughest guy in the neighborhood. “The Big Freezer.” Wait, then Tony means…? Oh, yeah.
Pretty Deadly wants to play tough, no problem. Spring Breakin’, D’Angelo Family VS Pretty Deadly in NXT’s first ever Trunk Match! Paizon style! And when they’re done stuffing those two in the trunk, they’ll take Pretty Deadly for a nice long drive. Stacks likes that. To business! Cheers. Will next week be anything but a joy ride for Kit & Elton?
Oba Femi shows his strength.
Chucking everything from kegs to couches, Spring Breakin’ might see the debut of the most powerful superstar yet! Who will be the first to feel Femi’s ferocity?
NXT presents an all new Grayson Waller Effect.
Waller is already in the ring and already streaming as he welcomes us to his show. Time to talk Spring Breakin’! Loaded card with titles, a Mixed Tag, and a Trunk Match, whatever that is. But in the main event, it will be none other than Grayson Waller challenging the NXT Champion, Carmelo Hayes! Melo makes his way out, Trick Williams right behind him. Fans chant for “MELO~! MELO~!” as he and Trick go to the ring. Waller welcomes Trick Melo Gang, and Trick says, “The champ is here!” Waller likes the energy here. The vibe feels off, though. What? No, the vibe is right.
Well, everyone loves Melo, right? Rhetorical question, idiots. They’re talking business in the NXT title here. Bet you wish it was Bron Breakker sitting here now. No, it’s all good. Melo ain’t even mad. But Melo gives Waller credit. Despite all the losses he takes, he finds himself in the main event every time! #MainEventWaller. But look, listen. At this point, Melo doesn’t have to talk about it. Melo’s more decorated than a Christmas tree, while Waller’s got enough bricks to build an apartment complex outside the PC. But just saying, life is good. Melo stays winning. He’s cool. Oh, right, let’s get the list going, right?
Melo says the same stuff every week. The titles he’s won. But the difference between them is that in the past eight months, Waller has become as big a star without a title as Melo has with one. Trick scoffs at that, but Waller says he doesn’t need a championship, the championship needs Waller! Waller cuts Melo off by going to chat and the questions. Chuck3056 asks, “Carmelo, when you say ‘You are Him,’ what do you mean by that?” Waller does wonder that. Does HIM stand for He Is Mediocre? Trick asks them what they mean by what Melo means. Don’t start hating! Melo IS Him! Look at Twitter, at the main event, at title matches! That’s him.
Melo says every time he steps in the building, the people chant his name. If that ain’t HIM, then they don’t know what is. Fans chant for “MELO~! MELO~!” and Waller has them stop. Then, by saying he is HIM, what Melo is saying, is that he’s him. Melo wouldn’t have the title without the fans, the accolades, there wouldn’t be one banner without Trick Williams. Trick stands up but Melo has him calm down. It’s all good. They knew Waller would do this. They know Waller’s playbook. Fans chant “Whoop That Trick!” but Melo says it ain’t going down like that. They know Waller’s games.
And if Waller wants to talk about stealing, Waller stole every single opportunity he’s ever had. SNAKE! Let’s talk about greatness. There is greatness, there’s Waller just above that, and then there’s Melo above Waller. And something we need to face is that Waller is just not that guy. Waller is just not built for the title life. And y’know what, hold on. Melo wants to drop some banners for Waller real quick. Pull up Waller’s accomplishments. WA WA WA~! Waller has NOTHING! Okay, fine. Let’s talk Stand & Deliver. Melo was made by winning the title, but Waller stole the show.
In fact, the main event happened before Melo’s music even hit. Okay, okay. Six outta 10 is still more points than any girl Waller’s been with! Waller says he has an Aussie accent, we all know that gets him points. But good news for Melo: After Waller beats Melo for the belt, Melo can call up his boy, Montel Vontavius Porter, and start carrying Omos’ bags around. Though they’re also as big as Melo so… Melo says Logan Paul is looking for someone to wear the Prime mascot costume. Put him in that, he’s more relevant than Melo and Trick combined! Oh like every viral moment Waller’s ever had?
Well, how about next week? That’ll be the biggest viral moment of Waller’s career. At the end of the night, Waller will be carrying the NXT title in one hand, and the golden Shoey in the other. Waller is gonna pour that out over Melo’s body, #AndNew. How is Waller gonna do a Shoey when Melo puts his shoes in the powerlines? Melo stops Waller from talking to say #AndStill. Melo raises the belt but Waller raises his Shoey. This war of words is over, who will be the winner of the war in the ring? Who will truly be… HIM?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for NXT, and I almost forgot Spring Breakin’ was next week. This didn’t feel like the typical go-home, but hard to say if that’s a good or bad thing. NXT is always very talky, though, and that happened here, too. Good promos from Pretty Deadly and The D’Angelo Family to set up their rematch, and a (Car) Trunk Match is a very fitting match to have. Conceptually, it’s the same as the Jailhouse Street Fight, where you have to put someone inside something and close it to win. I feel like Tony & Stacks are going to win this. Pretty Deadly have already done as much as they can as a tag team in NXT, time for them to be called up via the Draft.
Speaking of the tag division, that Triple Threat Tag was a great way to open the show. We had a recap package that got cut off because of the brawl, and then we got a great match. Ivy Nile going down being a distraction for the Creeds was a clever way to keep them from winning and to keep the titles on Gallus. I’m thinking once Tony & Stacks are done with Pretty Deadly, they’ll get their shot at Gallus for Battleground. And just as I expected, we’re getting that Mixed Tag of Kiana & Jensen VS Fallon & Briggs. Good promos, and it fits that Jensen has a makeover to be more Kiana’s style. I would think therefore Jensen & Kiana win to build on Jensen’s Heel turn.
A talk show type segment is not what I expected for Nathan Frazer, but I suppose it is something to show he has depth. Really good return match for Dar, and of course he won. As I said last week, they should give us a Heritage Rules Tournament to lead to Battleground and the winner faces Dar for the cup. Bron attacking Odyssey outta nowhere was a wild moment, and really good promo from him and Duke. I should’ve known Duke was going to pull that swerve and make Chase face Bron. Chase VS Bron can be some really good stuff, but pretty sure Bron wins that. And a decent promo from Eddy and Damon, setting up their inevitable match.
Good video promo from Axiom, using a very comic book aesthetic to it. I especially like the line where Axiom disses Scrypts, saying Scrypts isn’t good enough to be Axiom’s archnemesis, aka longtime rival. Good video from Dani, Sol, Hank & Tank. Those are basically two new tag teams right there for NXT to build on the way to Battleground and beyond. And really good video for Oba Femi with just random items being tossed around. And in quite the twist, Von isn’t having to find himself all on his own, he just breaks down and opens up. Well, about as much as Von can break down. But this might actually make Von someone people wanna see.
Good promo from Roxie before her match with Zoey, which was great stuff. Roxie gets a great win, and I appreciate Indi still wanting to honor the rematch. But of course Tiffany had to insert herself, and she got on Indi’s nerves so much, we’re getting a huge Triple Threat next week. The Triple Threat might be the way to get the title off Indi without hurting her power level. The WWE Draft might also be the way they call Indi up so that she can join Gargano, Candice & Lumis on RawDown. Now, the problem is, if it goes back to Roxie, it’s like a weird reset. But if Tiffany wins, ugh. Tiffany is too good at playing her character, because the character is insufferable.
Cora and Gigi had a good promo together and a great match together. But of course Jacy had to get involved to make sure Gigi lost. And good to see Lyra calling Cora out to have their match at Spring Breakin’. Jacy’s promo was scathing, but also something I did think about myself. Gigi VS Jacy 2 needs to be No Disqualifications or something, and to essentially name the winner the next contender. But even then, the winner of that would depend on who is champion. Face VS Heel is always going to be a thing, so if the champion is Heel (Tiffany), Gigi can get her shot. If the champion is Face (Indi or Roxie), Jacy will get her shot.
Good promo from Dijak and Apollo but great match from the two of them. Dijak wins big but Dragunov saving Apollo was a good move. Dijak VS Dragunov itself should be an unofficial contender’s match, the winner going on to Battleground for something. Great title match from Wes VS Dempsey, and Wes wins big, but of course Gulak attacks. Wes VS Gulak is going to be next, and I would think Wes wins that, too. Then Wes can face just about anyone at Battleground. And really good Grayson Waller Effect. Both guys threw a lot of good lines at each other, though I don’t think it really tipped the scales towards anyone’s favor. Melo is surely going to retain, Spring Breakin’ is just free TV. Melo is gonna get his first defense in, and then move on to Battleground.
My Score: 8.7/10

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?

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.

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?

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?

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.

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.

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?

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!

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

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?

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!

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.

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?
