PLAY BY PLAY
Indi Hartwell heads to the ring!
Fans fire up for the Impressive NEW NXT Women’s Champion! Indi gives the belt a kiss then raises it up before getting the mic. Fans chant, “You Deserve It!” Indi says, “Oh, man. Guys, you have no idea I waited to hear that.” Fans chant “Indi Wrestling!” and Indi says, “Man, I heard Alicia’s amazing introduction, and it’s been a few days now, but I can’t believe it’s real. I’m the NXT Women’s Champion!” Fans continue to chant for “Indi! Indi!” and she says she gave up a long time ago on what she would say when she finally won this title, because truthfully, she didn’t think it’d happen.
Indi gained momentum, picked up some wins, and then right back down. She really doubted herself. She was tag team champion with Candice, but could she do it on her own? Holding this title was just a pipe dream. But y’know who never doubted her? The fans! The fans stood by her, and just like that, they picked her up when she was down. They chanted “Indi Wrestling” when she needed it most. The outpour of love just makes this moment that much sweeter. Fans again chant, “You Deserve It!” The fans have no idea how much that means to her, really. Now, she doesn’t wanna take too much time, and she loves the fans, too.
But there are two more things she has to get to. First, there is someone else who was in that match that she has to acknowledge, and that is Roxanne Perez. Fans cheer for Roxie, and Indi says if not for Roxie, there wouldn’t have been a ladder match and Indi wouldn’t be champion. So that said, the first person to get a shot at Indi is Roxie. Fans are a bit torn about that, but Indi wants to move on to- Zoey Stark!? Stark says no no no, she cannot sit back there and listen to this crap anymore. This is nonsense! We get it, pigs fly, unicorns are real, and Indi Hartwell is the new NXT Women’s Champion.
Stark laughs and says Indi had quite the upset, but c’mon. Indi is holding a title that has been held by legends! Future hall of famers! And you wanna know what the worst part is? It’s that Indi has it now! The champions of the past worked so hard to build that title up, and brought it all the way up. Fans sing, “Oh~ Zoey is Angry~!” Stark says Indi is not at that level. She’s not even halfway. She’s more like, on the floor. Right down there. Fans chant “ZOEY SUCKS!” Stark ignores that to say that the most positive thing she got out of Stand & Deliver is that now, we have a very beatable NXT Women’s Champion!
Fans boo but Stark says if Indi is gonna talk about Roxie, well, Roxie’s been radio silent since Saturday. We haven’t heard a peep from her. Roxie goes to the back of the line, behind Stark. So talk about title matches, this is the first show after Stand & Deliver. If Indi wants to hand out shots, hand one to Stark tonight. Fans are more against that than Roxie’s rematch! They chant “NO! NO! NO!” and Indi says, “Zoey thinks I’m a beatable champion? Okay, I wanna see how beatable I am. Because Zoey, you’re right, it is the first NXT after Stand & Deliver, so I’m sure it’ll get approved. Let’s have ourselves a women’s title match, tonight!”
Stark says Indi just made the biggest mistake of her life! “Ladies and gentlemen, Indi Hartwell is gonna make history here once again, by being the shortest reigning women’s champion we have ever seen. Point blank, period.” Fans boo, but Indi holds up the title. Will the Hunter have the prize she wants? Or will she be less than Impressive?
NXT Media caught Wes Lee at the airport.
The North American Champion returns from Stand & Deliver victorious, how is he feeling? He feels really good, the title is one piece of luggage he does not wanna lose. But then Axiom walks over to congratulate him. Wes thanks Axiom for that. Axiom says he’d be lying if he still didn’t wonder how it’d be if it was him and Wes 1v1 for the title. Wes says Axiom really brought it on Saturday, so yeah, see you Tuesday. And that title match is happening TONIGHT! Will the Cardiac Kid keep rolling the dice and winning? Or will the Undeniable Truth be unstoppable when he has 50-50 odds?

Jacy Jayne speaks.
“Gigi Dolin, you poor, pathetic soul. You really thought that you were gonna have your big Hollywood moment. Fueled by all your setbacks, betrayal, your mother’s anger. And the joy you had on your face. You really thought you were gonna be the NXT Women’s Champion. I watched you climb that ladder rung by rung… But delusion is quite the disease. Because within one second, I was able to push that all away.” Jacy laughs, and says Gigi was never going to win that match, because Jacy was going to make sure of it. Jacy broke Gigi’s face, her heart, and now all that’s left to do is break her will. Will the Toxic Traitor have her way by any means necessary?

McKenzie Mitchell is with the NXT Tag Team Champions, Mark Coffey & Wolfgang, and the returning Joe Coffey. Markus says the team is finally complete! Wolfgang says Hollywood got a wee taste of Glasgow on Saturday, and Joe agrees. Gallus Boys remain on top, just where they belong. Mark loves it when a plan comes together. And if you thought they were a problem before, just imagine what a full strength Gallus will be. Joe says they might as well start billing them from on top, because that’s not changing. Well, now that Joe is back, what can we expect from him? Uh, well, since Mark & Wolfie are champs, Joe is gonna add some gold.
But in the meanwhile, Joe might just pick a couple of fights. Then people will start realizing that this is THEIR kingdom! Will the Iron King soon reign over NXT?

Hear me now, dafties rejoice. The rumors are true, the saved the best for last. And after months of negotiation, the most sought after transfer from across the pond, Supernova 11, Noam Dar, is FINALLY here in NXT!” Fans do cheer for that, and Dar says as you can see, he has his big, beautiful, prized chalice, the Heritage Cup. HOWEVER…! Dar will be the one who decides if there’s anyone fit enough to be graced with an opportunity to challenge for it.
“Because there’s levels to this, and I’m at the tippy top. Now go on, continue with your little daft match.” Dar drops the mic and sits with commentary, and the bell rings.

Class is in session at Chase University.
Professor Andre says that it felt great to kick the sh*t out of The Schism in front of the largest Stand & Deliver crowd ever on Saturday! The students are fired up, but Chase has them calm down. Speaking of Saturday, Chase gives a special shout out and thanks to honorary alumni, Tyler Bate. His hard work and dedication helped keep Chase U alive. Duke says, “Oh, okay, cool, yeah. Tyler Bate’s a great guy and all, the Big Strong Boi, whoop dee doo. He’s not the one who got the job done at Stand & Deliver, it was me.” Chase says that’s right, and he was in the process of honoring Duke’s special efforts, too.
But… Then Chase remembered what Duke said about awards and ceremonies, and just knew that that was something Duke wasn’t interested in. Oh, well, okay. Not really the same, though. This wasn’t just some trivial match, we’re talking about Duke outsmarting everyone at the biggest event of the year! With the biggest stakes, securing a historic win for the university. That kind of performance, the legacy Duke has created here, that is surely something worth honoring! The class cheers that, and Chase says, “You’re damn right that’s something worth honoring!” Next week, Chase U has a ceremony to celebrate Duke’s commitment! It’ll be the MVP TROPHY!
The students cheer and Duke says that’s the best! CHASE U~! Will Duke bleed black ‘n’ red then, now and forever?
Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn speak.
The Firekeeper says, “First, it was written. And now it is told. We have seized the seats of power, and now the rightful NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions sit on their throne.” The Wicked Witch says, “We vowed to burn all opposition to the ground at Stand & Deliver. We defeated our opponents, we seized the championships, but… We did not scorch the earth, Alba.” Alba says, “Nothing in NXT is ever that simple. There will always be ashes left smoldering.” Isla asks if Alba feels that. Isla senses they’re not done with their troubled souls. Alba says a challenge is hanging in the air. “And when it comes, we will welcome it.”
Isla says that now their unholy union has materialized and risen in NXT, “all challengers beware. We are merely beginning to crack the surface of just how perilous we can truly be. And I curse any team who dares to test the NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions.” Alba says they saved their energy for that day. But for now, they celebrate. Cheers. They drink up, but will they prove to be the most dangerous team in NXT?
Backstage interview with Wes Lee.
McKenzie congratulates him on retaining the title, he must be feeling good. Yeah, he is. He is riding on cloud nine right now, because NXT tore the house down in the City of Angels. “The entire match felt like a human pinball machine. All five of us were bouncing around the ring, it was the wildest match of my life, honestly.” Watching it back, Wes knew that he chose his opponents correctly. Every single person was on point. JD McDonagh, there’s nothing that man can’t do. Ilja Dragunov is a straight-up beast! And Dragon Lee, WOO! OMG, smoother than butter. But the one that stood out was Axiom.
Wes isn’t sure if it’s Axiom’s drive, determination, or the fact that he almost superkick’d Wes’s face off, but Wes just feels he owes Axion a 1v1. Now, he knows he’s sore, and Wes knows Axiom is sore, but they’re about to wake everybody up from the WrestleMania hangover, because they’re gonna go again! Wes VS Axiom, North American Championship, are you ready? McKenzie’s ready. She wishes Wes luck, Wes thanks her for that, but will luck not be a factor in how precise both men are?

He apologizes to her about the tag title loss. He should’ve been a man and stepped up. Oh, ya think!? When she asks for her bag, he should hand it to her! He was right there, yet wasn’t there for her. What even was that?! Jensen apologizes but then Fallon Henley & Josh Briggs walk in. Fallon asks why Kiana is yelling at Brooks. Jensen says it’s okay, but Fallon asks Kiana if she’s really making Jensen feel bad for not helping her cheat in the match when she’s cheating on him! Uh… what? Kiana’s cheating on him? Kiana says “cheating” is a bit harsh for this. Okay, maybe she was dating around, playing the field, like most people do.
But did they ever once say they were exclusive? Did they? She says no, they did not. They didn’t put a label on it. But do you know when things changed for Kiana? When they shared their first kiss. Really? Yes. That first kiss changed things. It showed Kiana she could trust him. But after Saturday, she isn’t so sure anymore. She and Fallon are not champions anymore. Fallon rolls her eyes and mumbles, “Oh, yeah, like it’s his fault.” Kiana says she thought what they had was special. Turns out, she was wrong. Kiana leaves, Jensen asks her to please come back, but Fallon tells him to wake up. Kiana is making it like Jensen’s the bad guy here when he’s not!
Briggs says at least Kiana is being honest now. Jensen shouts at them, “ENOUGH!” He didn’t know about the whole “exclusivity” thing, but he should’ve. He should’ve been more assertive. But guys, just stay out of his love life! PLEASE!? Jensen then hurries after Kiana. Fallon says she’s just been trying to help. Briggs knows that, but she and Kiana do get a title rematch next week. That’ll be fun… Will this romance drama have a happy or sad ending next Tuesday?
NXT mourns the loss of Bushwhacker Butch Miller.
NXT Media catches up with Cora Jade.
They ask her about her attack on Indi, and Cora says she already knows that they wanna know. But you’ll all just have to wait until next week to hear her reason why. So nice try. But then Lyra Valkyria walks over to “welcome” Cora back. But she’s not here to dwell on the past, but to remind Cora of her future. “You can’t escape fate.” Cora crosses her arms and leaves, but will the Morrigan settle the score with her before either of them goes for gold?
Ivy Nile VS Tatum Paxley!

Ivy hammers away, Paxley pushes her back and goes to a corner. CALF KICK! Paxley falls out of the ring, Ivy goes out after her, and fans fire up for the PUNT! Ivy drags Paxley up, puts her in the ring, and fans sing the Diamond Mine theme. Paxley wants mercy, but Ivy wants Paxley to get up. Ivy kicks, but Paxley blocks! Ivy rolls to get the DIAMOND DRAGON!! Paxley flails, Ivy CRANKS on it! Paxley taps, Ivy wins!!
Winner: Ivy Nile, by submission
Ivy has payback on Paxley! The Creeds celebrate with her, will the Diamond Mine all be going for gold in the near future?
Backstage interview with Ilja Dragunov.
McKenzie is with The Czar and says it was an unbelievable showing at Stand & Deliver. Unfortunately for him, he did not walk out North American Champion. Dragunov says he was chosen to be in that match because he chases monsters. He seeks challenges, and there is no challenge too big for him to take on. Wes Lee is a great competitor, and a good champion. But at Stand & Deliver, Dragunov had unmatched energy. Did you see the look in his eyes? The trickle of blood running down his forehead. It was never going to be easy to win such a match, but nothing in life worth having comes easy.
That is why Dragunov is UNBE- Von Wagner says, “Hey, Dragunov. That’s a lotta words for going all the way to LA and not getting the job done.” Now look at his eyes, because this is the biggest monster Dragunov’s ever seen in his life. Dragunov says that he’d rather fight and lose at Stand & Deliver, than not be invited at all. Von says Dragunov won’t need an invitation for this one. But then Robert Stone hurries in and asks Von what the hell he’s doing. This is done! Von, what’re you doing?! He does what he wants. No! He’s picking a fight with a mad dragon! Listen, Von. Stone will get that match for him, okay? Just hear him out.
If Von doesn’t win, they are done! Suit Man Stone is laying down the ultimatum. Will Von finally get that big win he’s been after? Or will this be the end of the Robert Stone Brand again?
NXT North American Championship: Wes Lee VS Axiom!
The Cardiac Kid has always been a fighting champion, all to prove that he is still a worthy champion! He managed to defeat four opponents at Stand & Deliver, but will he have a harder time against just one?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly worthy!
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Axiom waistlocks then snapmares, but Wes handsprings through. Wes and Axiom reset, go again, and Wes headlocks. Wes hits the takeover but Axiom headscissors. Wes kips free, but Axiom ghost pins! TWO!! Wes escapes by a thin margin and Axiom lets him know it. The two tie up again, Axiom headlocks for the takeover but Wes headscissors. Wes holds tight as Axiom tries to kip free, but then Axiom moves around. Axiom headstands, turns Wes over, and then floats back to tie up the legs. Axiom gets the arms, for CATTLE MUTILATION! Wes turns over, but Axiom still has the motorcycle stretch.
Wes endures, fights around, and he turns Axiom around. Wes has the stretch but Axiom fights. Axiom flips, kips and arm-drags! Then he runs, ducks ‘n’ springboards to flying arm-drag and ENZIGURI! Wes is dazed, Axiom covers, TWO! Another close call, and Axiom storms up on Wes, but narrowly avoids Wes’s Eddy Gordo kick! Fans rally up as the two reset and go again. Things speed up, Axiom hurdles, but Wes shoves him to then follow. Wes slides under the kick, rolls back to RANA, and then body shots! KICK! Whip, and DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Wes has the knuckle locks, pushes Axiom down to a cover, TWO!
Wes hops up but Axiom monkey flips that to go up to the top rope and FLYING RANA! Fans fire up as Wes bails out, and Axiom builds speed to DIVE! Direct hit to the ramp and fans fire up more! Axiom puts Wes in the ring, he goes up the corner, but Wes SHORYUKENS! Axiom falls to the floor and fans fire up again as NXT goes picture in picture.
Wes fetches Axiom, whips him to the apron but Axiom tiger feint kicks! Axiom then brings Wes around, only for Wes to RAM him into the apron! Wes runs in, Axiom pops him up to the apron, and Wes mule kicks! Wes then MOONSAULTS, but Axiom gets under! SOBAT! Both men are down on the ramp, but Axiom catches his breath to bring Wes up. Axiom puts Wes in the ring, but Wes avoids the elbow drop and KNEES Axiom down! Both men are down in the ring, fans rally up, and they stir. Wes pushes Axiom to a cover, TWO! Wes is annoyed but he knows Axiom’s tough. Wes brings Axiom up as fans rally more.
Wes suplexes, Axiom slips out and waistlocks. Wes bucks the O’Conner, Axiom kips up to NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Wes just manages to push Axiom away in time. Axiom storms up on Wes, brings him up and whips him to ropes, to then HEADBUTT low! Wes sputters as he drops to his knees, but Axiom whips him to ropes. Wes sunset flips over the headbutt, but Axiom rolls through to roll Wes for a SLIDING LAIRAT! Cover, TWO!! Axiom is a bit stunned, but he clamps onto the arm! Wes fights the short arm scissor, moves around, and stacks, only for Axiom to shift into an omoplata!
Axiom gets the other arm, RINGS OF SATURN! Wes fights free, rolls, but into an ANKLE LOCK! Axiom leans on the hold, NXT returns to single picture, and fans rally as Wes endures! Wes powers up, rolls through and he kicks away on Axiom! Axiom lets go, Wes kicks him down! Fans rally up, but Axiom ROCKS Wes! Wes throws a body shot, but Axiom ROCKS Wes again. Wes ROCKS Axiom, Axiom ROCKS Wes! Fans rally and duel as the shots go back and forth, faster and faster! Axiom ROCKS Wes and Wes wobbles on his feet! But Wes UPPERCUTS! Wes blocks the punch, fires off a strike fest, then snapmares to BASEMENT DROPKICK!
Fans fire up with Wes as he watches Axiom rise. Wes runs in at the corner to UPPERCUT! And ENZIGURI! And then GERMAN SUPLEX! Axiom flounders, fans fire up, and Wes takes aim! Handspring, for the CARDIAC STOMP!! Wes anticipated Axiom’s dodge and changed it up! Wes then gets Axiom up, fisherman into the DRIVER!! Cover, TWO?!?! Axiom survives and Wes can’t believe it! Wes pounds the mat, goes to the corner, and fans rally up again. “Which side? WES SIDE!” Wes aims, handsprings, but Axiom catches him! REAR NAKED CHOKE!! Wes flails as Axiom has the body scissors, too!
Fans fire up as Wes rolls but Axiom just uses that to have a rear mount! Axiom leans on the sleeper but Wes fights up to his feet! Wes reaches out, but Axiom half nelsons! HALF ‘N’ HALF!! Wes tumbles, then sits up in a daze. Axiom roars, runs in, but Wes ducks the kick! Roll-up, but Axiom rolls through, so Wes KANGAROO KICKS! Wes drags Axiom up, but Axiom cradles!! TWO!!! Wes escapes, Axiom gets around, but Wes bucks the O’Conner! Axiom kips up, into a SUPERKICK! Wes then hurries to put Axiom in a drop zone and go up top! “Which side? WES SIDE!” Wes SKY TWISTERS onto knees!!
Axiom saves himself, though maybe a bit double-edged! Axiom manages to stand, he roars and KNEES Wes right back down! Fans are thunderous as Axiom aims from the corner! Wes stands, Axiom runs in, GOLDEN- NO, Wes ducks! Handspring, CARDIAC KICK!!! Cover, Wes wins!!
Winner: Wes Lee, by pinfall (still NXT North American Champion)
That was truly pulse pounding action from two of the fastest and the sharpest! But in the end, Wes was the faster, he pulls out the victory! He shows Axiom respect by helping him up, and fans cheer as Axiom raises Wes’s hand in victory. Will Wes keep running hard and fast until the wheels fall off?
Wait, SCRYPTS calls out Axiom! “Your mystique may blind most of your adversaries, but I can see you crystal clear. I see everything. I see your truth. I see the hidden corners of your mind. I. Know. You.” Scrypts slingshots in, but into the GOLDEN RATIO!! The fans go nuts as Axiom thwarts the monologuing menace’s master plan! Axiom says Scrypts may be trying to expose him, but Axiom is going to expose SCRYPTS instead! Will NXT soon have its own superhero movie come to life?
Backstage interview with Nathan Frazer.
McKenzie says that was a tough loss to Dragon Lee, and he was so close. Nathan says yeah, and it seems Stand & Deliver marks the end of the year for NXT, even though it’s in April. But even though Nathan didn’t start off on a good note, he believes that deep down in his core, he can turn it around. McKenzie says that is a great attitude to have. But at the age of just 24, he seems to be pretty wise beyond his years. Nathan thanks her for that. When you have a moment of enlightenment, your perspective changes. And when perspective changes, your reality changes. And Nathan is pretty sure that’s what happened here.
Nathan seems to have a newly refreshed and positive outlook on life. Will he be able to use that to climb back up and head after a title?
Coming soon to NXT!
Tank Ledger! Dani Palmer! Oba Femi! They’re all ready to level up, will they make a huge impact on the NXT landscape?
Trick Melo Gang heads to the ring!
Fans fire up for the NEW NXT Champion, and his right hand man who did have a hand in that win. They’re ready to celebrate, the fans are ready to celebrate, and Trick gets the mic. “The champ is here! The champ is here!” Fans chant for “MEL~O! MEL~O!” and Trick has them get louder. Melo says okay, okay, okay. “Ey yo, Trick.” “What’s up, Champ?” “Man, the biggest Stand & Deliver of all time.” “That’s right!” “In Los Angeles.” “That’s right!” “The City of Angels.” “That’s right!” “The city of stars!” “That’s right!” “The city that Kobe built.” “That’s right!” “And I was ballin’ all up in that-” WHOOOA~!
Trick says Melo did stand, and he did deliver. Fans cheer and Melo says 18 months was worth the wait. Now there’s no question on who the man is. Melo is THE NXT Champion, and he is… HIM. Trick says he got Melo one better. This is the HIM ERA! Melo likes the sound of that. Since day one, Melo stopped chasing championships and started attracting them. He had his eye on the number one spot all 18 months, and it wasn’t handed to him, he took it! What does it take to be number one? Melo is the winner, and two, nobody remember! Alright, alright, listen. They’re having fun with the Melobration and all, but…
Not to kill the vibe, but every great champion has a great opponent. And if it’s okay, Melo wants to give Bron Breakker his flowers. Fans bark and Trick says Bron does deserve that. Melo tells Bron he is one of Melo’s greatest opponents, one of his toughest opponents. And on the build up to this match, it wasn’t the same Melo y’all used to. Melo gave Bron his respect. And he meant it! When Melo said he respects Bron, he meant that. So Melo wants to invite Bron out to the ring to tell him something. Bron obliges and makes his way out to the ring. Bron gets a mic and joins Trick Melo Gang in the ring.
Melo thanks Bron for coming out here, and says at Stand & Deliver, they brought it to each other. At the end, Bron still presented Melo with the belt, and that was real cool of him. It really was. Bron didn’t have to do that. Fans cheer, and Melo puts it like this. He isn’t sure what the future holds, but on behalf of himself and NXT, thank you, Bron. Fans cheer that, and chant, “Thank You, Breakker!” Bron says that he appreciates that. “That title holds great legacy. And there always comes a time when the champion gets defeated by the next guy in line. It is my job and my duty to pass that torch the most respectful way I know how to do it.”
Tommaso Ciampa taught Bron that, did that for him, so that is why Bron did that for Melo. Fans cheer that, and Bron says he isn’t sure what’s next, either. But he’ll leave us with this. “NXT is just as much about the superstars as it is about them, the NXT Universe. We listen to you guys, alright? We hear you. We hear the Melo chants week after week. And it’s my honor right now, man, to congratulate you. Give it up for the new NXT Champion, Carmelo Hayes.” Fans cheer and Trick adds on, “Make some noise for the A Champion!” Fans get louder, Melo holds up the belt, and then Bron goes to leave.
Melo says hold on, before Bron leaves. Melo takes the sunglasses off and offers a handshake. Bron says okay, one more time. They handshake and even hug it out. Fans cheer again, and Bron raises Melo’s hand in respect. But then he reels him in for a LARIAT!! Trick is shocked, but Bron gets him for a BREAKKER SLAM!! Fans boo, some bark, but Bron SPEARS Melo back down!! Bron throws off his shirt, the dog in him just bit Melo. Trick crawls to Melo’s side, some fans chant “ONE MORE TIME!” Bron leaves it at this, for now. Will The Big Booty Nephew look to take back his spot as the number one guy in NXT?
My Thoughts:
A great NXT to follow Stand & Deliver, but it’s a bit of a shame that this fallout show ended up loads better than the Raw After Mania. Seems the reason for that is because, like a true Hollywood movie villain, Vince McMahon is back in charge of main roster. I could go on a rant about that crusty old monster returning, but I won’t. HBK at least has better sense with NXT. Great promo from Indi to start the show, as well as from Stark to get in Indi’s face. Great title match from the two of them, and Indi with the quick win was a great way to finish that. I should’ve figured Tiffany would come out to stake her claim, but what a great surprise that Cora is back. I also like that Lyra puts Cora on notice, those two should definitely have a match to determine a contender.
At the same time, I wonder where Roxie is. As Stark said, Roxie’s been quiet, even on social media, so I wonder what her NXT status is. Is she going to go to SmackDown in this round of call-up? As I said on Saturday, she did do pretty much everything in NXT, from the Breakout Tournament to the Iron Survivor to the tag and singles title. And in the wake of Vince slithering back in, I can’t be sure how well she’ll be booked on the main roster. Maybe Roxie’s going to actually rest up and come back to NXT after Indi has her run, as a way to ride it out and see how long Vince is actually back in charge. I’m hoping just this next month on the way to Backlash. Between the potential crap ideas and low viewership, maybe Endeavor can finally exorcise the demon that is Vince.
Good match from Dijak VS Jones, though surprisingly fast. Dijak is fired up, he might move up to the top title scene in this new phase. Good promo from Jacy to call out Gigi, their feud is far from over and I think NXT Battleground at the end of May would be a great place for their blowoff. Great promo from Chase U, especially with Duke being passive aggressive again. The way this all went, it feels like Tyler Bate is not just done hanging out with Chase U but done in NXT, so is he going to be called up, too? I’m thinking to SmackDown, too, since Pete Dunne is there. Again, Vince being back, I’m not optimistic about British Strong Style happening, that’d be an HHH move.
Really good tag match from Tony & Stacks VS Pretty Deadly. I like the parody of twin magic Kit & Elton pulled off, though I am a bit surprised they won. Gallus are Heels now after Joe Coffey helped them cheat, aren’t they? So why would Pretty Deadly build up and potentially go for a title shot when they’re also still Heels? Or is HBK going to book outside the box and give us Heels VS Heels? Good promo from Gallus, by the way, and I would like to see Joe get a title here since he never got one in NXT UK. As such, what a great thing to see Noam Dar FINALLY here in NXT, and with the Heritage Cup! We need more British Rounds matches, and another midcard title is great for a stacked NXT roster.
Speaking of Dar, I like that he showed up during Dragon Lee VS Nathan Frazer. Nathan knows all about the Heritage Cup from facing off in those kinds of matches in NXT UK. But Dragon Lee is Dragon Lee, and he is also the new hot signee, he was gonna get this win. Dragon VS Dar would be awesome stuff, regardless of stipulation. And Nathan’s promo with McKenzie makes me think Nathan is going to take over the “think positive, be Zen” persona Bate was working on. Nathan seemed to really dig his own sort of enlightened, wise sage words. Kinda hope not, it didn’t really add much to Bate’s time in NXT, so Nathan should just be chill dude who does awesome things in the ring.
Good promo from Dragunov and even Von and Stone. Von does know Dragunov’s beaten a guy who’s bigger and badder in Gunther/Walter, right? Stone giving Von that ultimatum, I kinda hope Von loses just so we can explore Von all on his own again. Stone told Von to find a character, Von stubbornly refused. Will losing his manager force Von to figure himself out? And the drama of Jensen and Kiana continues. Personally, having to say the relationship is exclusive is a horrible thing society has created for itself. Kiana can live her life how she wants, but she’s definitely spinning things like Fallon said. Fyre & Dawn have a good promo to bring up the rematch, next week is going to be the final straw one way or another.
Ivy VS Paxley was a good match, though should’ve happened sooner. Ivy winning makes sense, it is payback for Paxley’s betrayal. I don’t see this as being the end but the next step, and we can have more from these two to build them both up in the division. And I like that there’s hype for Level Up call-ups. It technically gives reason for fans to watch that and see these superstars before they’re on TV. I still won’t because Fridays are busy enough with SmackDown and Rampage. Maybe I could do results only articles like I’ve been doing for AEW Dark and Elevation, but even then, I don’t really know how well that’d work.
Amazing title match from Wes and Axiom, and they did a good job teasing Axiom getting that belt with those close calls. Wes wins because there are still many possibilities for challengers, and then I just cracked up seeing Axiom punk out Scrypts. Scrypts as a character has been trying to be the mysterious villain, but it’s just come off more like edgy emo poetry guy. Axiom getting the better of him got the fans super hyped, and we already saw samples of what these two can do in the ring together, so this will still be a fun feud. Then we got a really fun closing segment where Melo is firmly face as he puts Bron over, and then Bron goes firmly Heel as he beats down Melo and Trick.
Given that reaction from the fans, I feel like they’ve wanted Heel Bron for a long time, so here he is, probably getting his rematch at Battleground. Now, that might still go Melo’s way, but keeping Bron on NXT a little longer is probably best for him with Vince suddenly back. If Vince got him, who knows how bland or cringey Bron would end up, so giving us Heel Bron in NXT, where he possibly embraces more of the Scott Steiner stuff, that could help Bron in the long run. Let’s just hope and pray Vince isn’t back for very long. Hmm, maybe I did end up ranting about him after all…
My Score: 8.8/10

Wolf grabs a mic to tell Ren, “What do you think you’re playing at? See if you can step on me one more time! Put that belt on the line and fight me! I promise to take back that title!” The Wolf has eyes on his prey, but will he huff ‘n’ puff and blow the House of Torture down? Or will they stack the deck too high for anyone to overcome?
IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship: Yota Tsuji VS Andrade El Idolo!
What was meant to be former friends settling a grudge is now a second chance for a “Real Latino Man.” Gabe Kidd is hurt, so Andrade is back again, but will he redeem himself from the New Beginning in USA? Or will Gene Blast still be golden?
President Hiroshi Tanahashi is here to give the formal introductions and raise the belt as we see if history repeats itself!

They tie up, are in a deadlock, but Yota’s height becomes his leverage. Yota puts Andrade on the ropes, but lets off cleanly. The fans applaud and Andrade shakes it off. The two reset and circle again. They tie up, are in another deadlock, but Andrade pushes Yota to the ropes. Andrade lets off, but CHOPS! Yota CHOPS, but Andrade headlocks. Yota endures the grind, but Andrade hits a takeover. Yota headscissors, Andrade kips free, but Yota hits the takeover, only for Andrade to handspring through!
Andrade returns to RANA, but Yota handsprings through! The fans cheer as the two stare down again. They circle, feel things out, and tie up with knuckle locks. They go shoulder to shoulder but Andrade wrenches to headlock. Yota powers up but can’t power out as Andrade pulls hair! Yota powers up and out this time, but Andrade RUNS him over! The fans cheer, and Andrade runs, only for Yota to hurdle over. Andrade leaps over, Yota sidesteps, but Andrade springboards to CROSSBODY! Andrade then LARIATS Yota up and out! The fans fire up, and Andrade builds speed! But Yota slips in, dodges Andrade, and slips around to arm-drag!
Andrade bails out and now Yota builds speed! The fans cheer, but Andrade is back! Yota blocks the boot, but Andrade whips, only for Yota to reverse. Andrade goes tranquilo in the ropes! The fans cheer, but Yota nods and raises his own LIJ fist. Yota then BOOTS Andrade to the floor! Yota goes out after Andrade, puts him in the ring, and the fans rally again.

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

The trios sort out and Kyle steps up against Mansoor. The bell rings, they circle, and Mansoor shows off his drop steps. He might also be mocking Kyle as he drops down and puts up a leg guard. The two circle, and Kyle KICKS Mansoor’s leg! Mansoor tags to Mason, and Mason also mocks Kyle with a kung-fu stance. Kyle just KICKS Mason’s leg! Mason shouts, “OW!” Mason tags Johnny and the fans cheer. Johnny and Kyle circle, Johnny avoids a kick and goes for the leg. Johnny cartwheels but Kyle KICKS him in the chest! Kyle puts Johnny in a corner, climbs up, and he rains down fists! The fans count along to TEN, then Roddy tags in.
Roddy climbs up and he rains down fists! The fans count along to TEN, then Roddy tags Cassidy. Cassidy climbs up, the fans cheer, but MXM YANK Kyle & Roddy down! Then Johnny sweeps the legs! No mercy in this dojo! Johnny fires hands on Cassidy while MXM mugs Kyle & Roddy! The ref reprimands, but Johnny TOSSES Cassidy out! Then MXM TV set up, and Johnny FLIES to wipe out Roddy & Kyle! The fans are torn, but MXM build speed, to then POSE! The fans cheer, especially as Cassidy rolls in and joins them! MXM shoves Cassidy, he ducks ‘n’ dodges, then he BOOTS Mansoor while he tilt-o-whirls!

Mansoor lands bad on his catwalk, and Kyle FLYING KNEES Johnny on the outside! Mason runs up, he LARIATS Roddy, then he blocks the Orange Punch! DOUBLE CHOP for Cassidy! Roddy CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Roddy runs, slips around, and manages an ANGLE SLAM!
The fans fire up as Roddy gives Cassidy the boost, and he guzels Mason! But Mason breaks free! Roddy helps Cassidy dodge Mason, and Kyle DUMPS Mason out! Cassidy winds up and he ROCKS Mansoor! Then he guzels to SUPER CHOKE SLAM Mansoor onto Mason! Johnny is back, but Kyle KNEES! Then AX ‘N’ SMASH! Cassidy aims, but he has them bring Johnny closer. LAZY ELBOW! Cover, Conglomeration wins!
Winners: The Conglomeration, by pinfall
Cassidy, Kyle & Roddy proved they’re more than #TVReady, they’re fight ready! But will Cassidy earn himself and the team a shot at the tag titles? Or will Dax earn FTR & Ciampa a shot at the trios titles? Wait, speaking of, Tommaso Ciampa is here! The Psycho Killer stares The Conglomeration down, then grins. He says it is just a matter of time, but will he and FTR really become the Top Guys in both tag and trios divisions?
AEW TBS Championship: Willow Nightingale VS Anna Jay!
Hikaru Shida, Queen Aminata, and Kamille all tried and failed to take this title from the Babe with the Power, giving rise to the new nickname, “The Comeback Killer.” But will that still be true against The Queen Slayer? Or will Anna truly become the Star of the Show?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Willow is still the Face of TBS!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Anna rolls but Willow stays up. Willow hooks a leg to cover, ONE! Anna runs up but Willow headlocks for the takeover.

Willow rolls over the dropdown, whips, but Anna ducks ‘n’ dodges to sunset flip! TWO, and both women rise!
Anna wrenches, reels Willow in, and cradles, TWO! Willow is up but Anna steps over, LA MAGISTROL! TWO, and Willow backs off. The fans applaud and Willow says that’s what she’s looking for. Anna runs up, Willow dodges, and Willow LARIATS again and again and again! Then short arm LARIAT! The fans cheer as Willow runs, but Anna avoids the senton! Willow hobbles up, Anna runs to ROLLING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Willow toughs it out but goes to a corner. Anna storms up to stomp a mudhole into Willow, but stops as the ref counts. Anna snapmares Willow, then runs to basement DROPKICK! Cover, ONE!
Willow goes back to a corner, Anna runs up, but Willow slips outside. Anna still ROCKS Willow first! Willow falls to the floor, avoids a kick from Anna, then trips Anna up! Willow goes to the apron, the fans bark and Willow smiles. CANNONBALL! Down goes Anna and the fans fire up! Willow is feeling it, and even does heart hands with some fans, while Collision goes picture in picture.

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

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

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

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