PLAY BY PLAY

The Judgment Day is here!

Finn Balor, Damian Priest & Dominik Mysterio were victorious last night on Raw against Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens & Sami Zayn, and now they’ve come back to the white ‘n’ gold! They get the mics and fans chant for “MAMI! MAMI!” And then they chant “Welcome Home! Welcome Home!” Finn starts by telling NXT, “Daddy’s home!” Because this is the House that Finn Built! And Finn is back to lay down some house rules with the Judgment Day! He’s got Senor Money in the Bank, Damian Priest, and the Women’s World Champion, Rhea Ripley! Fans again chant for “MAMI! MAMI!” Finn says, “And everyone’s favorite, Dirty Dominik Mysterio!”

Fans boo Dom and he gets upset. Damian says with all that said, “NXT Universe, ALL RISE for the Judgment Day!” Now to get to business, “Melo and Trick. You guys called us out here because you thought you were getting a divided Judgment Day. You’re getting the Judgment Day that runs the WWE! You’re getting the Judgment Day that runs NXT! This right here is the murderer’s row of the WWE!” Dom speaks up, and fans boo. Rhea tells them to shut up but Dom says, “And Mami-” Wait! Here comes Trick Melo Gang! Trick says whoa whoa whoa, cut the music. Rhea says NO! They did not just interrupt Dom!

Oh, sorry, but Melo was wondering why they call him “Dirty Dom.” Is it cuz all the times he dropped the so- Whoa, now! Keep it PG. Melo & Trick go to the ring, and Melo says he appreciates the Judgment Day coming. But he wants to focus on Finn. He must say, when they mention the NXT Mount Rushmore, Finn is up there and rightfully so. But looking at NXT now, it has Trick Melo influence all over. Fans chant for “MEL~O! MEL~O!” Melo says most importantly, everyone has an opinion on Finn getting the better of Melo. But understand now, Finn is in Melo’s arena. Finn is trying to ball on Melo’s court!

Rhea laughs. That is arrogance, mate. This was never about the two of them. Oh, it’s not? Then check the stats. Cuz in this building, Trick Melo Gang runs things. Priest says that’s fair. The Melo Era is real. But what Melo doesn’t have is the Judgment Day staring back at him every Tuesday night. And let’s be fair: The Archer of Infamy never missed a bull’s eye. Trick says Priest’s mouth is writing a check his ass can’t cash! WHAT?! Trick says they don’t have to talk the talk, they can be ’bout it ’bout it! Melo says they’ll keep it simple! Trick Melo Gang VS Judgment Day, tonight! But Finn says hold on now.

If Melo comes at the Prince, he best not miss. Melo smirks and takes off his sunglasses. Then let’s do this thing then. Trick Melo Gang is ready to ball, will they dunk on Finn & Senor MITB?

 

Video interview with Tony D’Angelo.

The Don was on video call with McKenzie Mitchell and said he appreciates the call. But they have to make this quick, it’s chow time and Giorgio is almost done with his steak. Then speaking of stakes, Stacks raises the stakes tonight against Joe Coffey. If Stacks wins, the charges are dropped on Tony and the D’Angelo Familia gets a shot at the NXT Tag Team Championships. But if he loses, Tony goes to trial. What’s Tony’s mindset? What can he do? He’s at Stacks’ mercy. They’ve known each other since they were kids, and he’s never been worried before. But then does he not trust Stacks? Hey, don’t put words in his mouth!

Then how confident is he in Stacks getting the win? He just doesn’t know Stacks anymore. Ever since being in here, he’s been hearing some bad things. And to be honest, he just doesn’t know. McKenzie hopes Stacks comes through, and he thanks her for that. But will Channing Lorenzo be able to pull off the plan? Or will Tony end up facing the judge?

 

Gigi Dolin speaks.

“Everyone has a dark side. I put my demons out on front street, and I never let them keep me from being me. Kiana James spends all her energy holding everything in because she’s afraid of who she really is.” Kiana says they’re not that different? Then it hurts, doesn’t it? Kiana hates Gigi because Gigi is the way Kiana wishes she could be. After that “fresh coat of paint,” Gigi redecorated Kiana’s office to remind her of what she wants to forget. Kiana wants the gloves to come off? Good! Take them off! Tear down those hypocritical walls! They aren’t so different, but what separates them is that Gigi embraces it while Kiana lives a lie. Will Gigi make Kiana face the truth in the ring?

Kiana James sees this!

And she has a freak out. How’d Gigi get those pictures?! What’s everyone else looking at? That’s not even her anymore! Kiana storms off, but will she learn to let go of her hang-ups

 

Andre Chase & Duke Hudson VS Drew Gulak & Charlie Dempsey!

Seeing Thea Hail be bullied and the university badmouthed, Professor Andre could not stay home any longer! He and the Chase U MVP are looking to teach Gulak & Dempsey a lesson, but will they be the ones with a failing grade?

Thea is all pumped up as she celebrates with her professor and her role model! Will Duke & Chase become the MVPs of NXT? What do the new guys, Price & Nima, think of all this?

 

Bron Breakker speaks.

“Ilja Dragunov. You made a really big mistake. Cuz you weren’t even on my radar, man. And to think that I’m in your way from you getting to the NXT title? I’ve got news for you, man! I’m Badass Bron Breakker! I’m leading the way! You’ve been behind me ever since your first day in NXT. Yeah, yeah, you were champ once. I’m sure you’ll be champ again some day. But it’s not gonna come at my expense. Because tonight, there’s not gonna be enough referees or officials to hold me back from me breaking you on my way to the Bash.” Will Bron be able to break the unbreakable? Or will he be the one broken later tonight?

 

Von Wagner talks with Robert Stone backstage.

Von says after last week, he got a little carried away. Stone says yeah, he’d say so, after that powerbomb on Javier Bernal through the desk. But Von says Javi was talking all that crap, saying the stuff kids would to him growing up. Von’s parents tried to shield him from it, but his parents couldn’t be with him on the bus or at school. When Von looked in the mirror, knowing he had a plate keeping his skull together, it’s hard not to feel different. At school, he had no one to sit with. No one wanted to be his partner for projects. So he just said screw it! If they think he’s a monster, that is what he’ll become.

Stone says that was how Von wanted to be accepted? No, to make it through life. Von came to NXT to be the monster, but he has to admit, when he looked up and the fans were on his side, he didn’t know what to do. But for the first time in his life, he feels like he’s finally himself. And it’s Stone’s annoying, irritating little ass that he has to thank for it. They shake hands, and perhaps now Von can begin to heal. But who will he still slam through the ground on his way to the top?

 

Cora Jade VS Kelani Jordan w/ Dana Brooke!

The #GenerationOfJade doesn’t need anyone other than herself to get by, according to herself. But will the new girl on the block prove the Flex Appeal knows what she’s doing as a mentor?

NXT returns as Kelani makes her entrance, Dana by her side. The bell rings and she circles with Cora. They tie up, Cora waistlocks and SLAMS Kelani down. Fans rally for Kelani as she wrenches out and hammerlocks. Cora fights up, throws elbows, and laughs at Kelani before she headlocks. Cora hits the takeover, grinds Kelani down, but Kelani fights around. Kelani stands, powers out, and does the splits to get under! Kelani then somersaults to arm-drag! Then she runs to go through ropes and arm-drag again! And DROPKICK! Kelani jumps again but Cora blocks the flip into a ROPE GUILLOTINE!

Cora laughs at Kelani more but fans boo. Cora stomps Kelani, then runs to IMPLODER STOMP! Cover, TWO! Dana coaches Kelani but Cora taunts Kelani. Cora kicks Kelani around, puts her on ropes and CHOKES her! The ref counts, Cora lets off at 4, then runs to ELBOW Kelani in the ropes! Cover, TWO! Fans rally but Cora drags Kelani up. Cora SMACKS Kelani off the mat! Cora stalks Kelani but Dana coaches her up. Cora kicks Kelani around, brings her up and puts her through the ropes, to then hook her up and CHOP! Cora runs side to side to SHOTGUN Kelani down! Cover, TWO!

Cora runs in again, to BOOT Kelani! Cora puts Kelani on ropes again, but Kelani dodges the elbow to roll Cora up! TWO! Cora scrambles up but Kelani fires forearms! And again!

Winner: Cora Jade, by pinfall

Cora is leaving Kellani feeling jaded, but she then gets her kendo stick! Fans boo, Kelani dodges the strike, and another! Dana gets in, and she DROPKICKKS Cora down! And LARIATS! And again! Dana gets the stick and she swings on Cora! Cora runs away, will she have to deal with Coach Dana next time?

 

Ilja Dragunov speaks.

“‘Badass’ Bron Breakker, tonight I finish what you have started a month ago. I felt your power and rage, but tonight you will feel my wrath and my fury! The most intense man in NXT, huh? Look into these eyes. My intensity cannot be matched! It will lead me past you, all the way to the Great American Bash and the NXT Championship.” The Czar has spoken, will he prove Bron is not badass enough to break him? That match is NEXT!

 

NXT shares an interview from after last week’s show.

NXT Media caught up with Gable Steveson and Eddy Thorpe after they both had a good time in the Underground. Eddy says that was special, and while Damon is special, he ain’t Eddy Thorpe. But Eddy does thank Gable for the training. NXT Media asks what is next for Gable then. Gable admits, he sent some guys flying. And the future, from the national title to the Olympics, so much to think about. But he loves being in NXT! Gable isn’t sure, just a lot to think about.

NXT Prospects watch things back.

That NXT Underground stuff was sick! But Dijak storms in and says Eddy wins one Underground match, and suddenly they all think he’s so tough? Pretty much… Oh please. Dijak storms off, will Hard Justice put the Alpha Wolf to the test?

 

NXT Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Bron Breakker VS Ilja Dragunov!

NXT returns and Dragunov makes his entrance. The bell rings and Dragunov rushes in! Bron blocks a boot, throws Dragunov back, then runs up to fire haymakers!

Both men are down and fans fire up! The ref checks and Bron is okay to continue. Bron stirs and pushes himself up, with Dragunov right behind him. They both crawl towards each other, grab at the other’s hair, and Dragunov throws a forearm!

Dragunov CHOPS, Bron throws haymakers! Bron DECKS Dragunov but he pops right up to BOOT Bron! Dragunov runs to LARIAT, but Bron stays up! Dragunov runs again, for another LARIAT!

Backstage interview with Wes Lee.

McKenzie is with the NXT North American Champion and says we know he will face Mustafa Ali at Great American Bash. Wes says it’s one and he high-fives McKenzie. And while he treats every match like it’s his biggest match, there is something different about this one. Ali is a different cat. Wes can’t get a read on Ali, which makes it hard to strategize for him, and that makes Ali dangerous. But wait, Rhea & Dom walk in. Dom says Wes is an open challenge type guy, right? Uh, well, Wes has done those before, but- Then Dom accepts. What? Dom accepts the open challenge for the North American title.

Wes tells Dom that he didn’t issue an open challenge, has Dom not been paying attention? Oh, Dom gets it. Now that Dom’s around, Wes doesn’t wanna do one. Rhea mocks the “fighting champion.” Wes says no, no, no. They didn’t let him finish. He only stopped doing that stuff cuz things got real crazy around here. But if Dom wants to get crazy, say less, we can do this now. Dom says hold on. Maybe next week. Dom wants to give Wes time to prepare. Dom & Rhea leave, and Wes says okay. Will Dirty Dom look to end Wes’s win streak before Ali ever gets his shot? Or will he just be a tune-up instead?

 

Baron Corbin speaks.

“I’m without a compass. With the embers still smoldering, what is my future? This house, this life. It was all built off the echoes of the last eight years. From the beginning, I’ve always said you can’t fight fate, but now, that’s exactly what I’m doing.” Corbin takes a late night drive, and says that as he looks back, he can see “something.” He sees that he had nothing in common with those he once portrayed himself to be. “But now, who the hell am I?” Corbin arrives at a strange place in the woods. Tiki torches burn, and there is a man in a hood. What has the “No BS” Corbin stumbled upon? Will it help him understand who he is?

 

Tiffany Stratton VS Ivy Nile!

The Center of the Universe hoped the entire Diamond Mine would be banished from NXT when The Dyad won that Losers Leave NXT match, but no, the Creeds are the only ones packing their bags. Will the Diamond Pitbull take a bite out of the NXT Women’s Champion? Or will Daddy’s Little Rich Girl still get what she wants?

NXT returns as Ivy makes her entrance. The bell rings and fans rally up for Ivy as she circles with Tiff. They tie up, Ivy waistlocks but Tiff switches. Tiff headlocks, Ivy powers out but Tiff runs her over. Fans boo as Tiff flexes, and they remind her “YOU TAPPED OUT!” Ivy resets with Tiff and they tie up again.

Tiff kicks her and snapmares her down, then runs to DOUBLE- NO, Ivy avoids the stomps to get a CALF KILLER!! Tiff scrambles to get the headlock! Ivy stands up, powers out, but Tiff wrenches to whip. Ivy RANAS Tiff, Tiff handsprings through and taunts Ivy. Ivy runs in, ducks ‘n’ dodges to SUPERWOMAN PUNCH! Then she runs in, but Tiff puts her on the apron. Tiff avoids the lariat and sweeps the legs! Fans boot as Tiff runs to HIP ATTACK Ivy down! Tiff then goes out after Ivy at commentary.

Tiff drags Ivy up and SMACKS her off the apron. Tiff puts Ivy in, storms up, and DOUBLE STOMPS! Cover, TWO!! Ivy survives and Tiff scowls. Fans rally behind Ivy as Tiff runs side to side to HIP ATTACK again! Cover, TWO! Ivy is still in this and Tiff grows frustrated. Tiff wraps on a chinlock and grinds Ivy down. Fans rally, ivy fights up and throws body shots, but Tiff knees low. Tiff whips, handsprings in, but Ivy dodges! Ivy kicks, Tiff blocks, but not the DRAGON WHIP! Ivy keeps moving and she runs Tiff over! And again! Tiff goes to a corner, Ivy runs Around the World to SOBAT!

Fans fire up but Tiff RAMS into Ivy! Tiff hurries up, fireman’s carry, but Ivy gets the DIAMOND DRAGON!!! Tiff fights around to RAM Ivy into buckles! Tiff reels Ivy in, fireman’s carry, ROLLING SENTON! PRETTIEST MOONSAULT EVER!! Cover, Tiff wins!

Winner: Tiffany Stratton, by pinfall

Ivy gave Tiff more than she bargained for, but she found a way to survive. Will Ivy wish she could join the Creeds wherever they go next? As for Tiff, she gets a mic to say, “You are all so annoying! I’m the NXT Women’s Champion. I don’t need to explain myself to you peasants. I didn’t tap out. I beat Thea fair and square. I DIDN’T TAP OUT! LEAVE ME ALONE!” Tiff tells them all to shut up, but will someone come along to shut her up?

 

Thea talks with Chase backstage.

She explains that you gotta put your weight into the Kimura! You gotta torque it one way, then wrench it the other, just like she did! Dempsey taught her that? Yes, he and Gulak are the worst people, but they taught her great stuff! She could tap just about anyone out now! She did it to Tiff! Yes, we all saw that. Duke returns to say the fans booed Tiff outta the building. The Uncrowned Women’s Champion is really getting to her. If it weren’t for those sons of- Whoa, Thea! Calm down, you’re not done with Tiffany. She’s not? No, because Thea made her tap out! And they believe Thea could do it again and become NXT Women’s Champion!

Chase starts up a “REMATCH!” chant! Thea and Duke join in, will NXT management hear them and make it so?

 

Noam Dar tweets a message.

“I thought I could gather the strength to show my face in front of the NXT Universe on Supernova Sessions this Tuesday, but I simply cannot without MY NXT Heritage Cup. I am lost without it. I’m not me right now. Therefore, SNS this Tuesday is CANCELLED.” His Meta Four mates tweet their support and well wishes, but will Mr. Supernova 11 get back to 100 any time soon?

 

Backstage interview with Blair Davenport.

McKenzie says she brutalized Roxanne Perez, but Blair cuts her off. Is McKenzie gonna ask Blair how she could possibly destroy such a “sweet and innocent little girl like Roxanne?” How she jacked that jaw, picked up that lifeless body and rammed her knee into that skull again and again? Roxie was a decorated champion, until Blair arrived. Now, this division is for grown ass women! Not fragile little girls with ribbons in their hair. Yes, Roxie will want another shot with her never-say-die spirit, but girls like Roxanne don’t beat people like Blair. And when Roxie returns, Blair will leave her like she did Nikkita, Wendy and Sol: on the shelf.

 

High Stakes Match: “Stacks” Channing Lorenzo VS Joe Coffey w/ Gallus!

The Underboss put the plan in motion himself, and we see if he can see it through! Will he win The Don’s freedom and a title match for Great American Bash? Or will The Iron King make sure Tony is put away for a long, long time?

NXT returns and Gallus makes their entrance. The bell rings and the two circle. They feel things out, tie up, and Joe powers Stacks to ropes. The ref counts, Joe lets off, and the two go again. They tie up, Stacks headlocks but Joe powers Stacks to a knee. Joe wrenches Stacks’ arm, has a standing armlock, but Stacks fights up. Stacks wrenches to a wristlock, but Joe rolls, wrenches and WRINGS Stacks, but Stacks rolls through. The two go again, and they tie up. Stacks wrenches and headlocks but Joe powers out right away. Fans chant “FREE TONY! FREE TONY!” as the two reset again. They tie up, and Joe headlocks.

Joe thrashes Stacks around, but Stacks powers up and out, then drops, only for Joe to hit a headlock takeover! Fans cheer the technical exchange, but Stacks moves around. Stacks fights up, powers up, but Joe holds on tight! Stacks tries again, gets free, and things speed up. Stacks hurdles but Joe runs him over! Joe tells Stacks that if he wants to be The Don, it’s time. Stacks stands up, and Joe swings, ALL THE BEST FOR THE BELLS! Cover, TWO!?! Stacks survives!? The Gallus Boys are confused! He thought Stacks was gonna throw this so everyone would benefit! They had a deal, didn’t they!? They shook hands!!

Stacks grins, because he ain’t no snitch, and he ain’t no sellout! But then can Stacks pull this off now that it’s a real fight? We’ll see as NXT goes to break!

NXT returns, Joe has Stacks in a top wristlock half nelson combo, but someone is calling the show? TONY is calling! Tony says if Gallus thought they got the better of the D’Angelo Family, then they’re dumber than they look! They took the bait, now Stacks can reel ’em in! Stacks fights up, throws hands and fans fire up! Stacks and Joe brawl, and Stacks gets the edge! Tony cheers Stacks on before the call ends, and Stacks uses that hockey scrum style like The Don! Mark distracts and Joe CLOBBERS Stacks from behind! Fans boo and Joe drags Stacks up. Joe throws haymakers but Stacks throws hands back!

Joe DECKS Stacks, and then hammerlocks to grind Stacks down. Wait, Price & Nima walk out? The street smart boys tell Mark & Wolfgang that their days as champs are numbered. Stacks fights the hammerlock, fights to his feet, and he moves around to Alabama Lift! But Joe sunset flips, so Stacks drops the FIST! Joe growls, and he says they had a deal! Joe SLAPS Stacks, and SLAPS him again! Stacks gets mad, blocks the punch and says he never knocked on nobody! They throw hands fast and furious, and Stacks gets the edge! Fans fire up as Stacks whips, and he CLOBBERS Joe! And CLOBBERS him again!

Stacks ducks ‘n’ dodges and DROPKICKS Joe to a corner! Stacks runs up to whip corner to corner. Joe bounces off buckles, into a BIG back drop! Fans fire up, Stacks slides out to DECK Wolfgang! Stacks hurries back in as Mark complains. Stacks drags Mark into the ring! The ref has to usher Mark out, so Stacks uses that to get THE CROWBAR! Fans fire up as Stacks CRACKS Joe!! Wolfgang storms in, so Stacks throws the crowbar to him! Stacks uses some Guerrero tactics and the ref sees Wolfgang! The ref EJECTS Wolfgang & Mark!! Fans fire up and sing “HEY HEY HEY! GOOD-BYE!”

Joe storms up but Stacks BOOTS Joe, then hits a KNEE DROP!! Cover, Stacks wins!

Winner: Channing Lorenzo, by pinfall (Tony is free; NEW #1 Contenders to the NXT Tag Team Champions)

Stacks says see ya soon, Don! They’re going to get their title shot, but will Gallus make them pay for pulling one over on them?

 

The Schism find Ivy backstage.

Oh, look who it is. The lone survivor of Diamond Mine. Once a great faction, now all but extinct. Ivy says sorry, she didn’t recognize them without their loaded masks. If not for Gacy, Julius & Brutus would’ve beaten The Dyad. Gacy says that wasn’t him, he was ejected from ringside. How would he have even made his way back in? Rip Fowler tells Ivy to open her eyes and take a look around. Jagger Reed says the Schism’s tree is blossoming, stronger than ever. Ava Raine says there’s always room for one more. The Schism leaves Ivy to think on that, but the last two masked followers… Something seems familiar…

 

Backstage interview with Yulisa Leon & Valentina Feroz.

McKenzie wants their thoughts on Dar being “too distracted” to host his talk show tonight. Feroz says that’s pathetic. Leon agrees, all this moping is just annoying. Feroz gets all fired up, Leon has her calm down, but then in walk Los Lotharios. Humbert Carrillo asks them what’s wrong, why the long faces? And Angel Garza suggests they all spend the rest of the evening together, and maybe find a way to put smiles back on those beautiful faces. Leon says nope! Next time, they should think before trying to hit on them. And then Dragon Lee & Nathan Frazer walk in. Everything okay here? Is there a problem?

Angel smiles and says no. Then jog on. Los Lotharios leave, will their energies be better spent on climbing the tag team rankings rather than working on their love lives?

 

Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams VS Finn Balor & Damian Priest w/ The Judgment Day!

Trick Melo Gang made sure The Prince didn’t add onto what Seth Rollins had been through at Gold Rush, and that didn’t sit well with The Judgment Day. Will Finn and Senor Money in the Bank punish Melo & Trick for interfering in Judgment Day business? Or will Trick Melo Gang handle business on their home court?

NXT returns as The Judgment Day make their entrance. The teams sort out and Trick starts against Priest. They circle, fans rally up, and the two tie up. They go around and along the ropes, but Priest pulls hair. Trick headlocks, but Priest powers up and out. Trick RAMS shoulders with Priest but neither falls. Priest then DECKS Trick! Priest drags Trick up, TOSSES him to a corner, and ROCKS him with haymakers! Priest stomps away, the ref counts, and Priest backs off at 4. Priest is fired up, and he whips Trick corner to corner hard! Trick bounces off buckles and falls, and Rhea is there to taunt him.

Fans boo but Trick stands, into a KICK! Priest wrenches, tags Finn, and they mug Trick. Fans rally but Finn CLUBS Trick to ropes. Finn CHOKES Trick, lets off, and the ref watches the rest of Judgment Day. Finn brings Trick up to throw hands, bump Trick off buckles, and stomps away. The ref counts, Finn lets off and he tags Priest. Priest drags Trick up to suplex, and BROKEN ARROW! Cover, ONE!! Trick hangs tough but Priest clamps on a chinlock. Trick endures, fans rally, and Trick fights up. Priest CLUBS Trick to a corner, tag to Finn. Finn RAMS in, and RAMS again, and again! The ref counts, but Finn lets off at 4.

Finn stands Trick up to CHOP! Trick staggers to another corner, and Finn CHOPS him there! Finn throws hands but Trick counter punches! Finn RAMS into Trick again and again and again! Finn CHOPS again, and even Dom & Rhea are stinging from that. Finn whips corner to corner, but Trick comes back to CLOBBER Finn! Fans fire up and Trick tags in Melo! Trick Melo Gang double whip and DROPKICK! Priest storms in but into double kicks! Trick gives Melo the ASSIST CROSSBODY! Fans fire up with Trick Melo Gang as NXT goes picture in picture.

The Judgment Day regroups on the outside and calm down, but Trick Melo Gang WRECK them with double dropkicks! Melo puts Finn in, Dom & Rhea talk trash on him but he gives it back. Melo whips Finn to a corner, runs in, but is put on the apron. Melo GAMANGIRIS Finn, but Priest trips Melo up! Fans boo but Finn springboard stomps away on Melo! Finn drags Melo up, bumps him off buckles, and tags in Priest. Priest ROCKS Melo, CHOKES him on ropes, then tags back to Finn. Priest whips, kicks, and then Finn KICKS! Priest ROUNDHOUSE Melo, Finn hits a SCISSOR KICK! And he poses like Booker T!

Finn drags Melo around, stomps him down, then soaks up the cheers and jeers from the fans. Finn drags Melo around to throw down elbows. Finn clamps on a chinlock, Melo endures, and Melo fights up, only for Finn to wrangle him back down. Melo endures as Finn squeezes tight. Melo kicks and flails, NXT returns to single picture, and Melo fights up. Melo throws elbows but Finn throws a knee! Finn bumps Melo off buckles, then tags in Priest. Priest runs side to side to STAGE DIVE ELBOW! Tag to Finn and he slingshot STOMPS! Tag to Priest, and Finn hits the BACKBREAKER! Priest adds the LEG DROP! Cover, TWO!

Priest stomp Melo and then clamps on a motorcycle stretch! Melo endures, fights up, and fans rally but Priest knees low. But Melo JAWBREAKERS! Melo rolls past Priest to tag in Trick!

Trick kips up and SWINGING NECKBREAKERS! Cover, TWO!! Priest is still in this but fans rally behind Trick. Trick watches Priest stand, spins, but into the JUMP KICK from Priest!

The ref stops Dom, but Rhea gets Priest his briefcase! Melo stands, but DRAGUNOV snatches the briefcase! Melo runs in, but Priest sends him into Dragunov! Down goes Dragunov, Priest hits SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! Tag to Finn and he goes up top, COUP DE GRACE!!! Cover, Judgment Day wins!

Winners: The Judgment Day, by pinfall

They used all their tricks, but the Judgment Day still brought down HIM. And speaking of, Melo blames Dragunov! Dragunov defends he was making the save, but it doesn’t really matter now. Will Melo and Dragunov have it out at the Great American Bash?


My Thoughts:

Great stuff from NXT and we’re getting on the road to the Great American Bash. Great stuff from Judgment Day all night, as usual, with a great promo to start the night that naturally set up the main event. The main event was great, too, with Judgment Day keeping things together since there’s nothing on NXT for them to argue over. And Dom stepping to Wes was even a good promo, because of course Dom’s ego has been built up to where he thinks he can just take a midcard title. Dom VS Wes will be great stuff but I expect something to happen where Wes retains and still defends against Ali at GAB.

Good move having Dragunov make the save but fail to put heat into his title feud with Melo. Just an awesome match between Dragunov and Bron, and naturally Dragunov got the win. Bron’s already faced Melo and lost twice, Bron really does need to move on to either another title or just RawDown in the post-SummerSlam phase. Melo VS Dragunov is going to be an awesome match, too, and honestly feels like it could go either way. Dragunov has been NXT UK Champion, he knows what it is to be the face of a brand, so he doesn’t have to win against Melo. But at the same time, if he loses, it feels like Dragunov could just move to SmackDown and get after the US title.

Speaking of moving on from NXT, I swear, Julius & Brutus were those last two Schism masked minions. One was tall, the other was bulky, and they did glance at Ivy before moving on. It’d be a strange but somewhat clever and funny move if they refused to move on because of the controversy in their tag match. Ivy VS Tiff was good but I figured Tiff was going to find a way to win. But at the same time, it seems Thea will get another shot, and maybe at GAB. Chase U winning over Gulak & Dempsey was a surprise, maybe they claim shenanigans and get a rematch with Chase & Duke. Maybe even another Mixed Six? That seems to be NXT’s go-to move at this point in time.

Good promo from Eddy Thorpe and Gable Steveson to add to their NXT Underground segment. If Steveson comes back or not, I don’t really care either way, but WWE has put this much investment into him, it’d be a shame for them if there wasn’t more going on. But I like Dijak looking down on Eddy’s win, and that could be a really good next feud. And good promos from Gigi and Kiana to add to their rematch. It doesn’t sound like it’ll be No Disqualification even though it should, but I’m sure they’ll still give us great stuff in a standard match. Maybe, like the Gigi VS Jacy feud, we’ll get something really big for their blowoff.

Good match from Cora VS Kelani, and Kelani had some unique moves out there already. But of course Cora finds a way to win, and of course Dana saves Kelani from Cora adding on. Cora VS Dana could also be something with raised stakes like No Disqualification, or because Cora always brings one around, some kinda kendo stick match. And good promo from Blair to keep the feud with Roxie going. Their rematch is also going to be really good, can’t wait to see that. Good promo from Nathan Frazer and friends with Los Lotharios. I guess Angel & Humberto are bringing the thirsty back into this era of NXT, and there’s definitely a match there of Los Lotharios VS Frazer & Dragon.

Dar had a pretty funny tweet “promo,” though I kinda wish they would’ve given us a very sad Supernova Sessions. And I’m thinkin Oro, Lash & Jakara are going to ask HBK give Dar a rematch for the Heritage Cup at GAB so Dar can snap out of his funk. And I’m really appreciating everything they’re doing in this Von Wagner story. It is genuine and heartfelt, and a lot of people can speak to how bullying feels, and maybe even using it as motivation to get big and strong and mean like Von did. Now, Von does need to get back to winning matches, but he can basically be like a Braun Strowman type Face where he’s destroying stuff, like his opponents, and still getting cheered. Then he can be waiting in the wings for a showdown with a Heel champion on whatever level they want him to be.

But now for some confusion. Baron Corbin said he wasn’t gonna be a gimmicky “BS” character, but then what is this with the tiki torches and the mysterious hooded man in the woods? Is Corbin going to fight himself in some kind of cinematic? Actually, that’d be kinda cool. Very Bray Wyatt Firefly Funhouse making Cena relive his past and admit to his flaws. No idea what it’d do for Corbin, though. And then in the Tony D’Angelo story, I knew Stacks was going to get him his freedom, but tonight’s story beat was a bit of a stumble. The reveal that Stacks & Tony were tricking Gallus all along didn’t really land until Tony spelled it out for all of us on that “phone call.”

And even then, that seems like a really strange move. Tony risked being put on trial all for a title match? Seems like a big gamble, but I guess it all worked out for them because pro-wrestling is still a form of television drama. But I’m also curious as to how Nima & Price were simply watching parts of the tag division tonight, and then gave a general warning to Gallus. I suppose Tony & Stacks aren’t necessarily guaranteed the tag titles at GAB, but it feels like that’s how this story should conclude, and then Nima & Price just have a really good feud with Gallus to earn their own shot? There’s still time before GAB, I kinda hope there’s a way to make this another classic NXT Tag Team Championship Ladder match, like in the black ‘n’ gold era.

My Score: 8.6/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.13.2025

Two title matches, against opponents that….well…you wouldn’t expect. Let’s see how it goes!

Published

on

Well TNA hasn’t done a bad job at splicing in the NXT talent with the TNA talent, while keeping things building and looking interesting. I’ve heard a few complaints about TNA not explaining who the NXT talents are, but that’s irrelevant. WWE is the biggest show in the game, no one needs to talk about the more established brand. If you don’t know who some of the NXT talent is, that is a you problem. It’s not like a certain other brand that randomly debuts Indy talent who only regional or super hardcore fans have heard of. Everyone from NXT in this crossover has been established on WWE programing before.

So I like where things are going, lets see if the momentum continues!

Ratings:

  • TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Joe Hendry (c) vs Jake Something: Joe retains via Standing Ovation – ***
  • Elegance Clique (Heather & Ash) vs King Bees: Elegance wins via Seated Springboard Spanish Fly – ** 1/4
  • Sami Callihan vs Frankie Kazarian: Who cares, this wasn’t anything
  • Cora Jade vs Xia Brookside: Cora wins via Jaded – ***
  • TNA Knockouts World Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) vs Savannah Evans: Masha retains via Requiem – (-) *
  • Josh Alexander vs Eric Young w/Jabronis: Eric Young wins via Piledriver – *** 1/2

 

Results:

TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Joe Hendry (c) vs Jake Something

Oh we’re starting with this? Okay.

Early on its similar situations; Collar and Elbow tie up is deadlocked, Jake runs Joe over a couple times with rope run Shoulder Tackles but Joe returns the favor and then hits his Stalling Suplex into an Irish Whip to the buckle sending Jake chest first and a near fall. Jake tries to fire up out of it, a few Chops and looks to keep up the momentum, but Joe counters with a Scoop Slam and we go to commercial. We come back from commercial and Jake is working Joe over with Forearms against the ropes, Joe does go for two flash Cradle attempts for near falls but a Lariat takes off Joe’s head and gives Jake a near fall of his own. Jake starts laying in the Wrist Control Short Rainmakers before playing to the crowd and starts looking to continue the offense but Joe has a small flurry. A little back and forth, Joe counters a Whip with one of his own, but Jake coldcocks him with a Forearm and starts laying the Haymakers into Joe who’s grounded in the middle of the mat.

Crowd wills Joe back to his feet, Euro Upper gets a little space, but Jake cuts him off again and drops him on the apron. Jake looks to hit the ropes for something huge but Hendry pops back in and Lariat drops Jake. Jake eats some Slams and Lariats, Sack of Shit into the Kip-Up and turn, calls for the Standing Ovation but Jake blocks it and drives his shoulder into Hendry’s gut to wrest control back. Jake does the Warrior psyche up, looks for Into the Void but Hendry dodges it, Hendry eats a few Lariats, returns one of his own that sends Jake to the outside but Jake lands on his feet and pulls Hendry to a seated position and does…some kind of Running Forearm through the ropes thing? It looks stupid.

Jake goes to the top rope, Joe cuts him off, Avalanche Sack of Shit, Kip-Up, Standing Ovation called for…and…CONNECTS! Hendry retains.

Oh Mokuba cuts in as soon as Hendry retains. “Myyy brrrooottthhheeerrr”, but Santino’s music hits Jake attacks Joe, Santino gets into the ring to try and stop it, Nic comes to Ryan’s aid when Jake looks to go after Ryan next, Superkick rocks Jake, Nic goes for another but Jake powders and Nic Superkicks Santino. 

Elegance Clique (Heather & Ash) vs King Bees

Heather starts quick, Danni is getting isolated after Heather knocks Charity off the apron. A little bit of quick offense and near falls, Ash hits an Implant Buster/Front Dropkick combo for another near fall. Danni starts to fight back, but Heather cuts off Danni and tags back in Ash. Ash tries to keep Danni down, but she fights back up again, strikes, chops, stereo Facebusters instead of Crossbodies is at least unique. Simultaneous tags and Charity starts dominating the Elegance Clique, Ash makes the save, Danni tags back in, Charity tries to set up Heather for a Doomsday style move, but Heather counters with a Frankensteiner that sends Charity into the ropes, crotches Danni, Ash gets in a few shots, Seated Springboard Spanish Fly from Heather and the match is done! Ash and Heather do the lipstick insult post-match stuff, so Spitfire comes out to run them off.

Sami Callihan vs Frankie Kazarian

Mance Warner attacks Sami before the match, Sami is laid out on the ramp. Kaz thinks he got an easy win, but Sami stumbles to the ring to fight.

Sami hits a Stunner when Kaz gets a little too excited at the easy prey, Mance and Steph run back down the ramp to guarantee interference costing Sami the match. Kaz slaps on his Chicken Wing and Sami taps out. Very nothing match, but it leads to Sami grabbing a mic and calling Mance out into a fight. We get a security pull apart.

Cora Jade vs Xia Brookside

Cora comes out cocky and arrogant, doing the relaxing on the turnbuckles taunts, Xia gets offended, takes it to Cora a little and returns the taunt. Cora doesn’t seem super pleased by that, but Xia stays one step ahead of her early on, even doing her cute little wiggle to show off a bit. Cora has to powder, then run away from Xia, slide back into the ring and cries to the referee that her injured knee is acting up. So it slows down Xia enough to get got, Xia gets rocked a few quick attacks from Cora and she keeps Xia grounded. Cora pushes Xia into the corner, does the Kevin Nash Leg Choke, Xia tries to fire out but eats a Lariat for a near fall from Cora. Springboard Stomp to the back gives Cora another near fall, Snap Suplex…too many random pinfall attempts and Cora is starting to show a lot of frustration about not having an easy night.

Bow and Arrow Submission from Cora, Xia tries to fight out, but Cora pulls her down by the hair and goes right back to the Bow and Arrow. Snamare escape finally from Xia, she blocks a punch of Cora strikes and peppers her back, a sequence of Lariats into a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors which sends Cora to the corner. Back Elbow Feint from Xia seats Cora, Broken Wings after a little dance, Russian Leg Sweep from Xia for two. Brooksy Bomb attempt, Cora counters, Xia counters Cora but Cora hits a V-Trigger to rock Xia. Cora goes for Jaded but Xia counters, Running Knee Lift from Cora into Jaded and Cora wins.

Rascalz come out to cut a promo, explain the Ace alliance is just a convenient pairing. They call out Wes’ new crew, they think they’re gonna handle things because they have numbers, Ace shows up behind Wes’ crew, a brawl ensues where the heels stand tall after a few Low Blows and triple teaming Ace. Wes did mention something about going after the Tree House since the Rascalz don’t have any gold. So as Wes, Tyriek and Tyson walk out, we’re left to wonder what they’re gonna do with the Tree House. 

TNA Knockouts World Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) vs Savannah Evans

Masha tries to start quick because Savannah is actually imposing her size and power on Masha. I’m not totally sure how to feel about this since Savannah has no established reasoning for being a real challenge but Masha is selling her ass off. She eats a Spinout Sideslam and this just makes Masha looks like kind of a jabroni. Masha went from an Undefeated Russian Terror to now she’s getting woman handled by a lower card wrestler who’s rarely been on episodes and was even gone for like 8 months.

This is a terrible match, it doesn’t make Savannah look impressive, it makes Masha look like a joke. I’ve mentioned that the Knockouts Division is pretty terrible, but they shouldn’t agree with me so hard that Masha is selling for Savannah. Masha hits the Capo Kick to rock Savannah, tries a Sunset Flip after Evans blocks the Requiem, but a little back and forth, Savannah gets kicked in the head but still grabs Masha, Masha tries a Sunset Flip again but Savannah just sits down on her for two. This is…dumb.

We shouldn’t be seeing a competitive match with enhancement talent, Savannah even grabs Masha and hits some kind of modified Fireman’s Carry Suplex for a near fall. PK and Sliding Dropkick from Masha, this is going on too long and been too close. Sole Butt into Requiem and the misery if over. This was logically insulting garbage,

Josh Alexander vs Eric Young w/Jabronis

Josh starts off hot, taking it to EY, EY even tries to escape the ring but Josh keeps him in close quarters and lays EY out a few times. EY stumbles to the corner like a Bushwacker and tries to escape again, but Josh grabs him and eats a poke to the eyes for his effort. EY does the Kevin Nash Corner Footchoke also. A move I rarely see we saw twice tonight…odd. Josh fires up and lays in the Forearms, whips EY to the corner, Flair Flip, tries to bait Josh with a Shoulder Tackle through the ropes, Josh side steps, kicks EY to seat him and lands the Low Crossbody for a signature pop and the jabroni duo stalk Josh to get him distracted so EY manages a Stun Gun to take the control back.

Commercial kicks in and when we come back EY is still in control. Clubbing blows across Josh’s neck as he drapes him over the apron. We all know why EY is going after the neck, and some Stomps and looks to choke him so the referee admonishes EY. While admonishing the Jabronis go after Josh. Josh slides through EY’s legs after a rope run, a bit of locomotion Cradle attempts but EY goes to the corner to try and recover, when Josh follows EY grabs him, chokes him from the seated position and then drops a Knee on the neck. A nice back and forth, EY throws Josh tries to get some control back and EY lands a Dropkick from the corner as they both slowly meet the 10 count. Strike Exchange, off the ropes, Back Body Drop from Josh, into Stinger Splash, Rolling Senton, and King Kong Knee Drop from Josh for two!

Josh looks for the Ankle Lock, but EY gets the ropes immediately, Josh looks for the Spicolli Driver, but EY slips it, throats Josh with the top rope, Macho Elbow for two! Josh hits the Styles Clash to a solid pop, but only a two count! Josh looks for something up the buckles, EY counters him and looks for the Avalanche Piledriver, but Josh counters that, Ankle Lock, transition into Sharpshooter, Jabroni distraction, more back and forth with Josh and EY, Ankle Lock attempt again, jabronis interfere again and slide in the Casey Jones mask. EY clocks Josh, Piledriver, EY wins.

Overall Score: 5/10

On paper two main title matches seem interesting unless you follow the product and know the challengers aren’t deserving and have no build. Jake is someone I’d like to see get pushed, but he never does, and I mostly blame his gimmick name. Something is funny for the Indies, but completely moronic to try and brand on even a marginally legit brand. Savannah didn’t deserve the offense she got in, the Knockouts title looks bad, Masha looks bad after that, this Knockouts Division is literally on life support. The Knockouts needs the NXT Women’s Division like fish need water to live. This is a painful low for the Knockouts. When I look back at the Dollhouse era as miles above this…that’s a sad perspective. Also, where the hell is Lei Ying Lee? She officially signed and has been used like twice since putting pen to paper. She is needed to make this Knockouts Division less awful.

There was definitely some stuff to like. Santino suspending Nic drags things out well, Ryan’s irritating smarmy character is great, Xia looked good in her match Cora, the main event was very good and the impending 6 man with Ace, Rascalz and Wes’ Crew should be fun.

A lot of this show felt like filler or just matches for the sake of matches. But it was at least mostly tolerable, and I have a little intrigue with this Mustafa Ali faction.

Because that’s where the Jericho Cruise: Six on the Beach went this year. And tonight on ROH, presented by The Nueve, Your ROH World Champion, we are gonna have a show filled with ROH special matches right from the Jericho Cruise. You’ve never seen it like this before. 20 years of ROH history, and it took Chris Jericho to bring such a festive scenario to you, live here on ROH tonight!

“So you can say that Mark Briscoe, or Bryan Danielson, or Nigel McGuinness, or my personal favorite, Jay Briscoe, is your number one ROH Champion, but after tonight, there is no doubt in my mind, or anybody else’s, that Chris Jericho, The Nueve, is Numero Uno for the ROH Campeonatos. That’s number one for ROH Champions. Enjoy the show tonight, guys, and hopefully we’ll see you next year on the high seas on the Jericho Cruise! Adios, gente! Also Spanish.” Jericho winks and gives a thumbs up, but indeed, ROH has for the first time ever a very special cruise edition! Soak it in, maaan~!

 

Jay Lethal VS Mason Madden w/ Mansoor!

While the former ROH World Champion is ready to get back into the title scene, do not let the belt MXM Collection has in their possession fool you. The Mahogany Hunk & Iron Chic literally stole that ROH World Tag Team Championship right off Sammy Guevara after beating him down! Will Mason make the deck his catwalk? Or will Lethal turn up the Black Machismo?

Turns out, he does! Lethal is bringing out his savage side and the crowd cheers. Mason stands on the corner, but he gets booed. The Code of Honor is skipped, the bell rings, and the two circle. They circle, and the fans duel about fingertip touching! Lethal says okay, and they MEGA POWER TIP TOUCH~! But then Mason KNEES Lethal low! The fans boo but Mansoor says that’s what Lethal gets! Mason CLUBS Lethal, stomps away in the corner, then struts his way to a POSE! The fans are torn, Mason whips, but Lethal ducks ‘n’ dodges, then slides under to JAB! JAB! JAB! Lethal JABS again and again and again, high then low, then he winds up for a HAYMAKER!

Mason staggers to a corner, Lethal climbs up on him, and Lethal rains down fists! The fans count along, but Mason stops things at 5! Lethal slips free of the atomic drop to ELBOW Mason down! Lethal goes up, AX HANDLE! Cover, TWO! Mason is tougher than that but Lethal goes to the corner. Lethal climbs, and he AX- NO, Mason catches him for a CHOKE BOMB! Cover, TWO! Mansoor complains, Mason stomps Lethal, and then Mason throat chops Lethal! Mason runs corner to corner and ELBOWS Lethal! The fans rally and duel, but Mason whips Lethal to ropes, LEG LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Lethal is also tougher than that, but MXM talks trash to fans.

Mason drags Lethal up, wrenches, and he hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Mason wrenches for another ELBOW BREAKER, and another, and another! The fans boo, but then Mason CLUBS the bad arm. Mason POSES, but Lethal powers up! Lethal CHOPS, but Mason HEADBUTTS! Mason runs in, Lethal dodges, then goes up and over in the corner! Lethal goes up the other corner to CROSSBODY! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Mansoor is upset, he tells fans to stop cheering, but Lethal and Mason stand. Mason ROCKS Lethal, but Lethal JABS! Mason ROCKS Lethal, Lethal JABS, and repeat!

The fans fire up as Lethal winds up, to JAB! JAB! JAB! Lethal winds up to ROCK Mason! But Mason is, uh, Maddening up? Lethal throws more hands, but Mason just feeds off them! Lethal throws one more shot and Mason shouts, “YOU~!” Lethal flips Mason off and the haymakers fly! Mason counter punches, whips, and BOOTS! Mason keeps copying the Immortal One, then he runs to drop the leg, but he misses! Lethal hurries up a corner, and he hits the MACHO- NO, Lethal blocks Mason’s boot first! Lethal stands Mason up, dodges his lariat, and handsprings, LETHAL INJECTION! A bit double-edged given how big Mason is, so that’s a big fall!

Both men are down and the fans rally up! Lethal rises, staggers, but he finds his way to a corner. Mansoor throws a fit as Lethal climbs, for the MACHO ELBOW!! Cover, Machismo wins!

Winner: Jay Lethal, by pinfall

Mansoor is really upset now! But good thing they aren’t the tag champions, because they’d owe Lethal a title shot! But speaking of a title shot, could Lethal be back on the rise towards the top of ROH?

 

ROH shares post-show footage from last week.

Athena and Billie Starkz returned backstage after Athena won yet another Proving Grounds match, but Athena still wasn’t happy with Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths. Athena makes Billie take a seat, and then tells her to share what she learned from watching Athena wrestle! Billie says she learned how to choke someone out, how to knock someone out- That’s it? That’s all she learned!? If that’s all Billie learned, than she is an IDIOT! Just like her stupid country bumpkin family! Athena is trying to save Billie! Athena is trying to make Billie better for the world of ROH.

Yet time and time again, Billie proves she is an imbecile, that she can’t cut it, and that she is nothing but what Louisville, Kentucky made her: a nothing! So, Billie… GET IT TOGETHER!! The Fallen Goddess storms off, but will Billie ever get out from under her thumb?

 

Billie Starkz VS Harley Cameron!

Last week she was getting grilled by the Minion Overlord, but this week, she gets to just be herself here on the Jericho Cruise! Will she show Athena what she’s really learned by fighting her way to a third shot at the ROH Women’s World Championship? Or will she #FeelTheWrath as this wild Aussie (at this point in time) fights to prove she belongs?

The fans chant “FEEL THE WRATH!” as she and Billie circle. The fans then chant “Both These Girls!” as they tie up. Billie waistlocks, Harley headlocks and says, “Feel the Wrath!” The fans cheer, but Billie pops out the back. Billie grinds the arm, mocks the ref’s admonishing, but Harley fights up. Harley wrenches to wristlock, then hammerlock, then headlock! The fans cheer, but Billie pops out the back to waistlock. They go to ropes, Harley tries but can’t buck free. Billie lets off and she SPANKS Harley! The fans cheer the cheeky nature, but Harley rushes up on Billie. Harley waistlocks, Billie headlocks, but Harley powers up and out.

Harley drop toeholds Billie, then SPANKS her! The fans cheer the cheeky return! Billie and Harley reset, and Billie throws her armbands off! Billie runs up, Harley dodges, then she rolls over the dropdown. Things speed up, Harley dodges and DROPKICKS Billie down! The fans fire up and Harley puts Billie in a corner. Harley climbs up, and she rains down fists! The fans count along, and Harley stops at nine, to SMOTHER Billie! Well, it’s a very tropical cruise, guess those are the coconuts! The fans fire up, but Billie storms up to SUPERKICK! Then she hits a DDT! Billie says this ends now! Billie storms up on Harley to stomp a mudhole!

The ref reprimands, Billie tells the ref to back off, and Billie still tries to get the taste out of her mouth. Billie ROCKS Harley, and she can’t help but hear fans chant things like “I Want Next!” She asks them, “What is wrong with you?” One fan chants back, “We Are Wasted!” Billie bumps Harley off buckles, then whips corner to corner. Harley bounces off buckles hard, Billie flexes, and the fans cheer. Billie drags Harley up and says take a shot of this! She CHOKES Harley on ropes! The ref counts, Billie stops at 4, and she bumps Harley off buckles. Billie bullies the ref again, then storms up on Harley. Billie ROCKS Harley, whips corner to corner, then runs up, only for Harley to ROCK her!

Harley ROCKS Billie again, then again! The fans rally, Harley kicks, but Billie blocks! Billie ducks the enzigiri just in time, and she digs a knee into Harley’s back! Billie has the chinlock, Harley fights it, and Harley slowly stands up. The fans rally, Harley fires body shots, but Billie knees low! Billie whips, Harley ducks ‘n’ dodges, but so does Billie! Harley LARIATS! And LARIATS! And LARIATS again! Harley kicks ow, reels Billie in, and HOTSHOT BULLDOGS! Then an AX KICK in the ropes! “FEEL THE WRATH!” MORE SMOTHERING! Then headscissor CHOKE! The ref counts, Harley lets Billie go, and she lines up a shot!

Harley runs in, dodges a lariat, ENZIGIRI! Cover, TWO! Billie survives and Harley pounds the mat in frustration. The fans rally and duel, and Harley reels Billie in again. Pump handle, lift, but Billie fights free! Billie waistlocks, Harley switches, but Billie switches! The switching continues, and then Billie ripcords! Harley ducks, pump handles, and SAIDOS! Cover, TWO!! Billie survives and Harley is shocked! The fans rally even harder as Harley builds speed, but Billie cravats for the SMASH! Billie puts Harley in a corner, but Harley dodges the lariat! Harley comes back, but Billie ELBOWS her! And BOOTS her!

Harley blocks more boots, but Billie hits the REBOUND ENZIGIRI! Then a GHOSTBUSTER! Cover, TWO?!? Harley survives and Billie is furious! Billie knocks Harley into the drop zone, then she goes up. The fans rally for Harley and that annoys Billie. SWANTON FLOP! Harley ghost pins, HARLEY WINS!!

Winner: Harley Cameron, by pinfall

Her ROH career is now 4-2, but that’s also a win over the inaugural ROH Women’s World Television Champion! Could this be a sign that Harley is destined for greatness?

 

AEW International Championship Title Eliminator: Konosuke Takeshita VS Tommy Billington!

It was July 13th, 2024 when The Alpha and The Dynamite Kid had an incredible Collision, but that was before Konosuke was a Double Champion. Will Konosuke be 2-0 now that he’s only gotten stronger? Or will Tommy use this cruise to grab a golden ticket?

The bell rings and the fans tell off Don Callis even though he’s not here. Konosuke and Tommy circle, tie up, and Tommy arm-drags! Konosuke gets up in a huff, circles with Tommy, and they tie up. Konosuke waistlocks but Tommy wrenches and wristlocks. Konosuke moves around, rolls, then trips Tommy to a toehold. Tommy endures, pries at the grip, and he brings Konosuke’s arm around to wrench and YANK! And YANK! Tommy wristlocks, Konosuke headlocks and hits the takeover, but Tommy headscissors! Konosuke kips free and the fans cheer as they reset. The two tie up, Tommy headlocks, but Konosuke powers up and out.

Konosuke drops down, but Tommy comes back to run him over! Things keep moving, Konosuke hurdles but Tommy waistlocks! O’Conner Roll, TWO! Tommy is sent to the apron! Konosuke hurries to suplex Tommy in, but Tommy slips free and- NO, Konosuke bucks the O’Conner! Things speed up, and Tommy hits an INVERTED MONKEY FLIP! Tommy hurries up, but Konosuke hits ropes! That trips Tommy up and the fans are torn. Konosuke storms back up to ROCKET LAUNCH Tommy! The fans cheer while Konosuke climbs. Tommy goes to the adjacent side, out of the drop zone, so Konosuke hops down.

Konosuke storms up to ROCK Tommy with a forearm. Konosuke brings something out from inside his boot? He climbs up on the corner, and he starts jabbing Tommy with that item! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but Konosuke stops at 4. Reveal: it’s a SPORK! Konosuke was trying to dig into Tommy like he’s a buffet dinner! Konosuke “apologizes,” puts Tommy in another corner, and he JABS at Tommy with the spork again and again! Then Konosuke throws it to a fan! What a souvenir. Konosuke hits a BIG suplex, covers, TWO! Tommy stays in this but Konosuke stays on him with a chinlock.

Konosuke headstands to put on pressure, then drops down to crank the hold. Tommy endures, the fans rally up, and Tommy fights to his feet. Tommy fires body shots, but Konosuke knees low! The fans are torn but Konosuke lifts Tommy. BLUE THUNDER- NO, Tommy fights the bomb with elbows! Konosuke shoves Tommy to ropes, then catches him on the rebound for a back suplex! But Tommy lands out! Tommy waistlocks, Konosuke elbows free then runs, but Tommy CLOBBERS him! Tommy whips, then CLOBBERS Konosuke again! Tommy reels Konosuke in, snap suplex! The fans fire up as Tommy climbs a corner!

Tommy reaches the top, but Konosuke stands, so Tommy MISSILE DROPKICKS Konosuke down! The fans fire up again as Tommy stalks Konosuke to a corner. Tommy whips corner to corner, but Konosuke reverses. Konosuke runs in, but Tommy dodges! Tommy gets moving, he ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, and he gut wrenches Konosuke?! But Konosuke turns that around! Only for Tommy to turn it back around! TOMBSTONE! Konosuke is down, but Tommy goes back up! DIVING HEADBUTT FLOPS! Konosuke avoids disaster to then POWER DRIVE KNEE!! Tommy sputters, but Konosuke hauls him up! BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cover, Konosuke wins!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall (denies Tommy Billington a title match)

The Dynamite Kid almost had The Alpha, but it’s the same as before: Konosuke standing tall. With both the AEW International and NEVER Openweight Championships in his hands, will no one stop Konosuke Takeshita from taking over the wrestling world?

 

The Outrunners VS Grizzled Young Veterans!

Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd may be fighting The Learning Tree on Dynamite, but they’ve got something to prove to Zack Gibson & James Drake here in ROH. The Outrunners outdid three other teams in last week’s Fatal 4 Way, will they win again now that it’s 2v2? Or will the Youngest Men Alive learn to #GritYourTeeth?

The fans are all fired up for “OUTRUNNERS! OUTRUNNERS!” GYV gets annoyed, especially as they get nothing but boos. The teams sort out, Truth starts against Drake, and the fans rally up. They tie up, Drake headlocks, but Truth powers up and out. Drake RAMS Truth, but Truth flexes! The fans cheer but Drake is annoyed. Drake backs off to talk this over with Gibson, and then Drake resets with Truth. They tie up, Drake CLUBS Truth on the back, then he wrenches. Truth wrenches back! The fans cheer as Truth wrenches again, but Drake rolls, handsprings, and he throws Truth down by his hair! The fans boo while Drake mocks the flexing.

Drake stands Truth up to ROCK him and whip him! Truth ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl and RANA! The fans fire up for Truth as he spins! Truth tags Turbo, they hand off the wrench, and the fans cheer Turbo on. Turbo wristlocks, but Drake pulls hair! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but Gibson gets a cheap shot in! Gibson tags in and he UPPERCUTS Turbo! Gibson stands Turbo up to bring him around for a whip. Turbo reverses, then he scoops, but Gibson slips free! But Turbo gives him the Bruce Lee backhand! And then he flexes! The fans cheer, Turbo spins, and he brings Gibson up to tag in Truth.

The Outrunners double whip to body shot, atomic drop, then Manhattan Drop! Gibson flops over, Turbo fireman’s carries him, but Drake runs in! Truth intercepts with a fireman’s carry of his own! And then DOUBLE AIRPLANE SPINS~! The fans fire up as GYV ends up all dizzy! They stagger around, bump into each other, and then help steady each other. But then The Outrunners get them for DOUBLE ATOMIC DROPS! And GYV again bumps into each other! GYV falls over, The Outrunners spin around, and the fans are all fired up! Truth brings Gibson up, whips him to the corner, but Gibson BOOTS him!

Gibson elbows Turbo, but Truth JABS! JABS! JABS! Gibson headlocks, Drake tags in before Truth powers out! GYV drop down, trip Truth, then basement DROPKICK! Then MAYHEM IN MOTION for Turbo! GYV mock the spinning, then say “SUCK IT!” The fans boo, but Drake taunts Turbo, which also distracts the ref. Gibson has Truth on the ramp, whips him at the ropes, then ELBOWS him down! Truth sputters on the apron, Gibson plays innocent, and Drake drags Truth up. But Truth RAMS into Drake, slingshots over for the sunset flip, but Drake stays up! Drake flails, flails, reaches out, tag to Gibson!

Truth has the sunset, but Gibson ELBOWS him in the head! Gibson CLAWS Truth’s back while the fans boo and the ref reprimands. Gibson stomps Truth in the corner, digs his boots in, but he stops at 4. Gibson tells Turbo to stay back, then he ROCKS Truth. Tag to Drake, GYV mug Truth, but the fans rally up. Drake DECKS Truth, then he clamps on with a SLEEPER! Truth is already so red, but the fans rally up as he fights up! Truth fires body shots, reaches for Turbo, and repeat! The fans rally as Truth keeps trying, but Drake kicks him! Drake whips Truth to the GYV corner, but Truth BLASTS Gibson!

Drake runs in, Truth goes up and over! Truth reaches out but Drake just pulls him back! Drake kicks low, reels Truth in, but it’s Truth who suplexes Drake! The fans fire up, Truth crawls, but Drake anchors him again! Drake tags Gibson, GYV mugs Truth! They double whip, but Truth grabs ropes! Truth BOOTS Gibson, ELBOWS Drake, then dodges Drake to use Gibson as a step, FLYING HOT TAG! The fans fire up as Turbo now rallies on GYV! Haymaker after haymaker, then scoop SLAM after scoop SLAM! Turbo is all fired up, and he gives GYV a meeting of the minds! Then he LARIATS Drake up and out!

Gibson CLUBS Turbo, but that only angers Turbo! The fans fire up as Turbo flexes! Gibson takes another swing, but into a scoop! Truth joins in so it’s a DOUBLE SLAM! Then Truth winds up, and says, “Turbo Floyd! You SONOVA B*TCH!” They shake hands, and DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! The fans fire up again, Turbo scoops, but Gibson sends him into Truth! The fans boo but Gibson rolls Turbo, with tights! TWO!! Turbo escapes, but Gibson fireman’s carries! But Turbo slips free, kicks low, and reels Gibson in! Scoop and SNOWPLOW!

Drake THROWS Turbo down, then acts like he did nothing wrong. The fans boo but Gibson stalks Turbo now. Gibson rains fists down on Turbo, then he tags in Drake. Drake climbs up and flexes while Gibson Electric Chair Lifts Turbo. But Truth saves Turbo, and they send Gibson into Drake! Truth DECKS Gibson, and Turbo brings Drake off the corner, into TOTAL RECALL! Cover, Outrunners win!

Winners: The Outrunners, by pinfall

Gibson can’t believe it, but he and Drake got caught by the living throwbacks! Truth & Turbo are running on all cylinders, will they finally have themselves a tag title opportunity?

 

Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.

Earlier this week, Lexy Nair was with the One True African Queen and pointed out her great roll in ROH. What are her goals for 2025? Before Aminata can say anything, Serena Deeb walks in. Aminata rolls her eyes as she’s not surprised. The Professor says she knows she’s sounding like a broken record, but she sees so much potential in Aminata. Aminata is a superstar, and Serena is a big fan. But Aminata is listening to all the wrong people. Like most of these “girls” today, Aminata is more concerned about shaking dat ass on TV than about winning! This is professional wrestling. Pound for pound, bell to bell, Serena is the best pure wrestler in ROH & AEW.

She is the Woman of 1000 Holds. So Queen, how about they mix it up a bit? They should do this in a Pure Rules Match! Aminata is a bit surprised by that. Is that what The Professor wants? Then the Queen is ready. Name the time and place, and the queen that “shakes her ass” will be there. Serena says okay, see you in Deeb’s Dojo. When and where will we see these two reignite their rivalry and finally put it to the test?

 

Ricochet VS Serpentico!

Not only is this the Jericho Cruise debut of The One & Only, it is also the Honor Club debut of The One & Only! Will Ricochet make this special edition episode #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he be far away when the SNAKEMAN enters his veins?

The bell rings and fans are chanting “RICO-SH*T!” in reference to the toilet paper raining down in Cincinnati. Ricochet and Serpentico tie up, and Ricochet pulls on the mask to put Serpentico in a corner! Ricochet climbs up on Serpentico while still pulling the mask but the ref counts. Ricochet stops at 4, backs off, and the ref reprimands. Ricochet says that was a clean break. The fans keep chanting and Serpentico encourages them to get louder. Ricochet and Serpentico circle, tie up, and Ricochet waistlocks to headlock. Serpentico powers up and out, but Ricochet runs him over. Ricochet flexes, the fans are torn, but things speed up.

Serpentico stays low, then hurdles over. Ricochet leaps over Serpentico, Serpentico ducks ‘n’ dodges lariats to then RANA! The fans fire up and Serpentico DRPOKICKS! Ricochet flounders to the ramp, and he storms off. The ref says to get back in the ring but Ricochet takes his time huffing and puffing. Ricochet storms up to the ropes but Serpentico is there. Ricochet backs off, and now fans taunt him with “BALD! BALD!” Ricochet says he wants to get int he ring and that Serpentico is too close! The ref has Serpentico stand back, Ricochet storms in, but Serpentico dodges! Serpentico ROCKS Ricochet with ahymakers!

The fans fire up as Serpentico UPPERCUTS in the corner! Serpentico whips corner to corner, then runs in, but Ricochet uses the ref as a shield! The fans boo but then Ricochet LARIATS Serpentico down! The ref reprimands, Ricochet “apologizes,” then he drops elbow after elbow. The fans keep taunting “BALD~!” “RICO-SH*T!” but Ricochet stomps Serpentico. Ricochet has Serpentico at the ropes to then JUMP STOMP! The fans keep jeering but Ricochet just soaks it up. Ricochet storms up on Serpentico but Serpentico fires body shots! Ricochet CLUBS Serpentico, follows him to the corner, then whips corner to corner hard!

Serpentico falls, Ricochet flexes, and fans boo. Ricochet flaps his wings to mock the fans, then covers, TWO! Ricochet keeps Serpentico down with a headscissors. Ricochet turns over to DRIVE Serpentico into the mat! Serpentico endures and the fans rally up. Ricochet says he’ll squash Serpentico’s head! He again DRIVES Serpentico’s head into the mat! Serpentico fights his way back to bridging cover! TWO and Ricochet has let Serpentico go! Serpentico fires fast hands, then he UPPERCUTS! Serpentico runs, into a SPINEBUSTER! Ricochet then mocks The People’s Champoin before hitting the PEOPLE’S MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO!

Ricochet argues that the count was bad but the ref defends the count. The fans rally for Serpentico but Ricochet tells them he’s the one winning! But Serpentico ELBOWS Ricochet down! Serpentico goes to a corner, BOOTS Ricochet, then dodges Ricochet! ENZIGIRI, schoolboy, basement SUPERKICK! Then a FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! The fans rally as Serpentico hurries up a corner! Serpentico aims, but Ricochet avoids the stomps! Serpentico handsprings through, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Ricochet Tiger Wall Kicks, SOBATS, KNEE LIFTS, and DISCUS LARIATS! Ricochet roars, fans are torn, but Ricochet RUNNING SHOOTING STARS! Cover, TWO!

Serpentico survives, Ricochet again argues the count, but the ref says two is two. Ricochet taunts the Serpentico fans, scuffs Serpentico, then stands him up. Fireman’s carry and GO TO- DESTROYER!! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives but Serpentico hurries up top! FROG SPLASH onto knees! Cover, TWO! Ricochet hurries to dragon sleeper, and VERTICO DRIVER!! Ricochet isn’t done, he locks ‘n’ loads for the SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

The One & Only wins and does his best Stone Cold by flipping off the fans from the corner. Will Ricochet make sure no one, not in AEW and not in ROH, can stop his rise to the top?

 

ROH World Television Championship: Komander VS Nick Wayne!

The Commander of the Skies may be picking a fight with La Faccion Ingobernable, but he still has gold to defend. Will he soon be the Commander of the Seas with this one? Or will The Prodigy make The Patriarchy proud?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who sails away with the treasure!

Surprisingly, there are fans who actually like Nick Wayne. The Code of Honor is offered but not upheld by Nick. The bell rings, Nick and Komander circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and Nick puts on the pressure. The fans taunt Nick with “Where’s Your Mom? Where’s Your Mom?” Komander endures the knuckle lock, rolls through, but Nick puts on more pressure. They double knuckle lock, and Nick uses his height to put on the pressure. Komander fights up, they go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength, and Komander manages to push Nick back. Komander then kicks, goes up, and MONKEY FLIPS!

Both men hurry up, and Nick MONKEY FLIPS in return, only for Komander to land out! Komander ducks a kick, whips Nick, but Nick manages a SWINGING ARM-DRAG! Things keep moving, Komander wheelbarrows to arm-drag! Nick sweeps to cover, ONE! Komander sweeps to cover, ONE! Both men dropkick, those cancel out, and both men handspring up! The fans cheer as these two stare down! The fans rally and duel, the two circle again, and Komander encourages the fans to get louder. But Nick attacks from behind! Nick stomps a mudhole in, then he scuffs Komander. The ref reprimands and Nick backs off.

Nick taunts the fans cheering Komander, then he drags Komander up. Komander fires body shots but Nick whips. Komander goes up, over, around, handsprings, and superhero lands! Then he runs to tilt-o-whirl RANA! Nick flounders to the ramp, Komander takes aim! Springboard and CROSS- NO, Nick kicks low, then DDTS Komander on the ramp! The fans are stunned while Nick rises up. Nick hobbles, brings Komander up, and shoves him up the ramp! Nick goes to the ring, he wants the count out! Komander hurries, he makes it back to ringside at 15 of 20! Komander is in and Nick is annoyed.

The fans taunt Nick more as he sees the bloody scrape on his hand. Nick shows that off to the fans, then flips them off! Nick even licks his own blood! The fans tell Nick that he’s sick! Nick ROCKS Komander, throws more hands, then stalks Komander to ropes. Nick ROCKS Komander again, then stomps him in the corner. Nick climbs up, taunts the fans more, then he digs his knuckles into Komander’s eyes! The ref counts, Nick hops down, and he shows the bloody scrape on his hand again. Nick brings Komander from the corner, snapmares and covers, ONE! Komander is tougher than this, but Nick keeps cool.

Nick sits Komander up to KNEE him in the back! The fans rally for Komander but Nick KNEES him in the back again. Nick then KICKS Komander in the back, covers, TWO! Komander stays in this and Nick grows frustrated. The fans rally, Nick says stop that, and he drops a leg on Komander! And another leg drop! And then Nick winds up, for a leap and scuff! The fans boo but Nick soaks it up again. Nick’s handful of fans get louder, but Komander victory rolls him! TWO! Nick kicks low, whips, but Komander reverses to fire off kick after kick! Komander runs, springboards, FLYING ARM-DRAG! Nick hobbles up, Komander whips.

Nick reverses the whip, Komander LEAPS out to the ramp! The fans cheer as Komander comes back, but Nick RAMS him! Nick slingshots up and over, comes back, but into a SUPERKICK! Komander springboards to ASAI MOONSAULT! Direct hit and the fans fire up again! Komander tosses Nick in, goes up a corner, and he tightrope walks to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Nick escapes in time and Komander nods, even he has to admit Nick’s tough. Komander goes to the apron, the fans rally up, and Komander feeds off that energy! Komander goes up, takes aim, but Nick hits ropes to trip him up!

Komander flops to the mat while the fans boo, but Nick has a cocky grin. Nick talks trash on the fans, then kicks Komander around. Nick goes corner to corner and back again, but Komander ELBOWS him! Komander fires forearms, but Nick SUPERKICKS! Then full nelson, SNAP DRAGON! Bridging cover, TWO!! Nick hurries to SUPERKICK again! Then the FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Not quite perfect but Nick watches Komander rise! Nick calls his shot, ROUNDHOUSE! And then up, up, and WAYNE’S- NO, Komander dodges,  goes up and up, for a FLYING DESTROYER!!

Nick flounders onto ropes, Komander sees that and dials it up! 619! Nick flops back, Komander borrows the captain’s hat and climbs up! Tightrope walk and CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!

Winner: Komander, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)

Nick is definitely a prodigy for him to step to Komander like this! But in the end, Komander is still in charge as a champion! Will no one replace him as the Face of ROH TV?


My Thoughts:

A great ROH here, clocking in at an hour and 15, but also with it being part of the Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Rager match card. There was a lot more to what the cruise had in store, but that’s obviously all for the paying guests on the ship. A little surprised they didn’t make time for Black Machismo’s marriage proposal to Lexy Nair… But that was a great match, always fun for Lethal to bust out his Randy Savage. Also, I feel like Mason & Mansoor stealing and bedazzling Sammy Guevara’s ROH World Tag Team Championship belt is them burying the lead, there should’ve been a promo where we saw them do all that to the belt.

Very good promo from Athena and Billie, but as I’ve been saying, they really need to wrap this story. There’s only so much that they can do to stretch this out, so the next ROH event needs to be the finale. But that aside, very good match between Billie and Harley, and what a great win for Harley. Harley got to really shine on that cruise as she also had a concert with Jericho. And while a good promo from Aminata and Serena, it’s a touch disappointing they’re only going back to this unfinished feud all because Britt Baker buried what would’ve been Dentist VS Professor pretty much from the jump. But hey, silver lining: Deeb wants a Pure Rules Match, and I genuinely would love a Women’s Pure Championship as another great avenue for the women of AEW & ROH.

Very good match from Konosuke and Tommy, but even with this just being a Title Eliminator, I figured Konosuke would win. Konosuke has only gotten even more powerful since that match on Collision last July, Tommy was not going to beat the DUAL International & NEVER Champion, and certainly not on the Jericho Cruise. Outrunners VS GYV was really good stuff, and The Outrunners are definitely on a run. MXM VS Dustin & Sammy is the clear ROH World Tag title match, but in the off chance MXM wins, MXM VS Outrunners could be some really good stuff. Ricochet VS Serpentico was really good, too, but of course Ricochet won while embracing that Heel Heat.

And a great main event from Komander VS Nick Wayne, but again, there was not going to be a title change on the Jericho Cruise. Komander will still be facing Lee Johnson at some point for this title. That match may have even been recorded already and is just waiting to be plugged into the Honor Club schedule. It was announced that ROH Global Wars would return as part of the Grand Slam: Australia taping this Saturday, I didn’t see Komander VS Johnson on that card, so it might be the week after.

My Score: 8.7/10
