Backstage interview with Ivy Nile.
McKenzie Mitchell says The Creed Brothers face The Dyad in the biggest match of their careers. The losing team must leave NXT. Ivy says she’s really nervous, but she knows Julius & Brutus are focused more than ever before. McKenzie asked why they accepted at all, and Ivy wondered the same thing. The Schism are a dangerous group that needs to be eliminated. They could even take over NXT. But then Tiffany Stratton walks in and asks why McKenzie is talking to Ivy when last week, the Center of the Universe successfully defended the NXT Women’s Championship for the first time. Here’s a hint: she shouldn’t be.
Uh, successful? Everyone saw Tiff tap out. Everyone saw what? Did the ref see it? Didn’t think so. So not everyone saw. Well if Ivy was in there, the whole world would see her tap out! Doesn’t Ivy have somewhere to be? Luckily for Tiffany, she does. Ivy heads out and Tiff says if the Creeds lose, she goes too, right? Uh, no, it’s really only about Julius & Brutus leaving, same as it is only about The Dyad, not the full Schism. Tiffany sighs and rolls her eyes. Will Daddy’s Little Rich Girl find that the Diamond Pitbull is not a girl’s best friend?
Baron Corbin speaks.
“The truth is… Last Tuesday sucked. I didn’t walk out of there the NXT Champion like I thought I would. Now I’m embarrassed, and I’m pissed off. I miscalculated experience and the nostalgia of the Lone Wolf, and I thought it’d be enough. I’ve got everything I want: the money, the fame, the family. What I don’t have is the reputation. I’m seen as consistent, safe, good. Good? Are you kidding me with ‘good?’ What I want is to be feared and respected. I want people to say, ‘Who’s next for Corbin?’ Not, ‘Who’s Corbin gonna be next?'” Corbin gathers up old gear and brings it to his furnace!
“I understand to dictate my future, I can’t bank on the past. I have to kill it. I don’t need anyone bowing down to me, I don’t want a position of authority. It doesn’t matter if I have pockets, or what’s inside of them. I damn sure don’t need a manager, and I haven’t worked eight LONG years to go all the way back tot he beginning. Burn all the ships. I can’t go back. There’s no going back. It’s no more gimmicks, no nonsense. No bullsh*t.” So then, what will this No BS Corbin do about not being champion?
Tyler Bate VS Mustafa Ali!
The Big Strong Boi didn’t appreciate how The Beacon called the North American Championship match during Gold Rush, but Ali defends it was still fair. That said, both men want a shot at Wes Lee and the title, who makes the better case for themselves here tonight?

Backstage interview with The Schism.
McKenzie is with Joe Gacy & Ava Raine, and asks why Gacy pushed The Dyad into this Losers Leave NXT match. Gacy said he did no such thing. He’d never push anyone into anything he knew their hearts weren’t ready for. Ava says Jagger Reed & Rip Fowler are two integral roots in The Schism’s tree. After tonight, the Creeds will finally be gone form NXT forever. Gacy says the right team will win and the outcome will only strengthen The Schism. Uh, wait, “the right team?” What does he mean by that? Ava says, “What do you think he means? Has he not always done what is right for our family?”
Gacy calms Ava and says it is okay. “McKenzie, it is quite simple. Tonight, we eliminate a problem from NXT. Forever.” That’s still not saying The Dyad will win… But does Gacy have faith in Jagger & Rip? Or will the Diamond Mine look to crush the Schism’s tree?

Now that was stunning! Kelani snatches this one from Tatum, and Dana celebrates with her new protégé. But wait, Cora Jade walks her way out with a mic. “Aww~. Kelani, congrats on your first victory here in NXT. You must be doing something right if you already have Dana Brooke in your corner. Gymnasts sticking together. How cute. Look, I know you’re new here and everything, so let me say this real slow for you. A friend of Dana Brooke’s is an enemy of mine. I don’t need friends, I don’t need mentors, and I certainlyy don’t need and of you (fans). You pepole have absolutely zero effect on me whatsoever.”
Kelani cuts Cora off and says if Cora’s so hyped up and ready to go, Kelani’s got another match in her! How about we just settle this here and now? Fans like Kelani’s spirit, and Dana asks, “What do you say, Cora?” Cora mocks Dana and says, “Don’t tell me what to do, ever.” The Generation of Jade talks her talk but then just walks away, will she give Kelani that match down the line?
NXT checks in with Chase U.
The students chant “Welcome Back! Welcome Back!” for Andre Chase and he thanks them for that. Settle down now, class. But thank you for the letters, texts and voice mails. Those all warmed his heart. Thea Hail is so excited to have Mr. Chase back, she missed him so much! And he missed Thea. But first, today’s lesson is about recognizing a few people. First up, the MVP, Duke Hudson. In Andre’s absence, Duke stepped up, graded papers, helped the school not just survive but thrive. So thank you Duke, you proved why you are the MVP. The other students cheer Duke on, and Duke smiles. Okay, you can take your seat now, Duke. Oh, right. Of course.
Duke tells Nick to move, so Nick does. Duke sits down, and Chase wants to next recognize the “uncrowned NXT Women’s Champion,” Thea! The students cheer and Chase says Thea still made Tiff tap out. She’d have the gold on her shoulder, “if it wasn’t for these two clowns.” Chase brings up a picture of Drew Gulak & Charlie Dempsey. They tried to poison the young, impressionable minds of Chase U’s students. When Chase saw them go after Duke, and bully Thea, Chase couldn’t take it anymore. Chase calls on someone in the back with their hand raised. Does this mean Gulak & Dempsey won’t be guest lecturing anymore?
Guest what? Is he serious? Some things never change around here! Duke says he’ll handle this one. Duke stands up and turns around to tell the guy, “OF COURSE they won’t be bloody guest lecturers anymore!! What a stupid [censored] question!! Do you think you’ll see either of them again after Mr. Chase and I are done giving them a…” Duke looks to Mr. Chase and he nods. Everyone joins in to shout, “A CHASE UNIVERSITY SIZED ASS WHOOPING~!!” They’re all so pumped up! It feels good to be back! Chase & Duke are gonna take on Gulak & Dempsey, who comes out having “learned” their lesson?
NXT Underground: Eddy Thorpe w/ Gable Steveson VS Damon Kemp!
The Alpha Wolf was getting tired of the Golden Gopher’s excuses, so he said any match type was fine. So Kemp went with this remnant from the Shane McMahon era of Raw! No ropes, no count outs, and no pinfalls, you either tap out or get knocked out! Will Eddy finally put this beef with Kemp away? Or will Kemp make Eddy feel like he’s a Young Lion again?
The ring is surrounded by prospects and superstars otherwise free for the night. The introductions are made, the rules are explained, and it’s time to throw down in the Underground!

Eddy is caught in body scissors, there are no ropebreaks to save him so he scrambles around. But Kemp KNEES him in the side!

Eddy moves around fast, rains body shots, then stands to rain down shots! Kemp turns it over to hit back! They scrap and Eddy rains down more shots! They tumble out to the floor!

The prospects drum along with the beat of Eddy’s song, that was one hell of a fight! Eddy has won 3-0 against Kemp, will this finally end things between them?
One of the prospects gets in and touches Gable’s medal. This guy is disrespecting Gable, so he takes the medal off, and hits a GERMAN SUPLEX! Another guy gets in, he gets an OVERHEAD SUPLEX! Another jump in, for another GERMAN SUPLEX! Gable’s having fun now! But the biggest guy in the bunch steps up… Gable says okay then. They clinch, and Gable OVERHEAD SUPLEXES him! Eddy and Gable both stand tall in the Underground, will they both look to take over the top of NXT?
Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams speak.
Trick says, “Everyone talkin’ ’bout Trick Melo Gang. And now that we’ve put Baron Corbin to bed, Judgment Day looks like they got a problem.” Melo says it looks like they’ve got a solution. They don’t take this likely. They appreciate them sending Mami to give them a warning. She looked good, but didn’t really say anything. Melo will tread lightly, Damian Priest has that MITB contract and no champion is safe. But it’s a different ball game when you try to ball in the NXT court. Trick wants Melo to tell ’em what they gon’ do. Melo invites ALL of Judgment Day to come to NXT and follow through on the threat. Dirty Dom included.
“Cuz down here, we the judge, we the jury, and the executioners.” If Judgment Day wants to go toe to toe with Trick Melo Gang, that’s y’all’s Judgment Day. That’s all it is, and that’s all it’s gon’ be. Will Damian Priest, Dominik Mysterio, Rhea Ripley and even Finn Balor regret messing with… HIM?
Tony D’Angelo has another visitor.
Stacks is back and all smiles, but Tony confronts him about last week. Stacks says he knows, Gallus is still NXT Tag Team Champions. Not that. The other thing. What other thing? The tape! Don’t play dumb with him! What? What tape? He didn’t tape nothing! He cut a great deal for the both of them. And with who? Well in walks Joe Coffey! The Iron King says “long time no see,” though we know he visited last time. Tony asks Stacks if he’s really seeing what he thinks he’s seeing. Did they make a deal with the rat? What the hell? No, Stacks would never betray Tony! But Joe was in the trunk for- Oh, right, don’t talk about that here.
Joe says it was a long time, but he and Stacks came to an arrangement. Stacks VS Joe next week, and if Stacks wins, the charges against Tony are dropped, and the D’Angelo Family gets a shot at the NXT Tag Team titles. But if Joe wins, Tony will stay locked up until trial. And from what Joe’s heard, conviction is a guarantee. And then Tony goes away for a long time. Tony can’t believe Stacks agreed to that. Joe chuckles and says it was Stacks’ idea! What is Stacks thinking? He thinks he can beat Joe in a 3v1!? Oh so now he’s doubting Stacks? Stacks has to run all his ideas through Tony?
Since Tony’s been locked up, business has been good! Envelopes are full! The Underboss is making moves. Tony can’t believe Stacks would do this to him! Stacks was like a brother to Tony! And now Stacks is gonna sell Tony out to this guy? Tony calms down, and Stacks says Tony is in here. This was Stacks’ decision, Tony just has to live with it. Bye, Don. Stacks leaves but Joe tells Tony, “Good-bye, Don.” Joe laughs move, then takes his leave. Tony beats the crap out of the phone! Has Stacks doomed the D’Angelos? Or will he come through on his own gamble?
Lyra Valkyria VS Jacy Jayne!
The Morrigan says why bother wasting time talking behind her back, just get some guts and step to her. The Toxic Traitor didn’t really care to do that, but now she has no choice. Will Jacy pay for talking that trash? Or will she end up throwing Lyra out with the trash instead?

The Toxic Menace get up to CLOBBER Lyra! Jacy’s a sore loser, we all know this! Fans boo but Jacy grabs Lyra’s shoulder pads to rip off the feathers! Lyra is fuming, will she get revenge on Jacy for this soon enough?
Noam Dar speaks to someone…?
“Hello, hello, hello. It’s me. It’s so good to see you, you look perfect as always. Look, I miss you so much. Life is so difficult without you. Nothing is the same! With you, I felt solid beyond belief! But now, everything just reminds me of you. I dream about you every single night. I even talk to you in my sleep. But you leave gaps, never to respond. Y’see? I’m going crazy! You said it would be forever! I need you back in my life. You complete me.” Yes, he’s talking to a picture of the Heritage Cup. The Meta Four rally around him, and Dar says next week, Supernova Sessions returns, but he isn’t sure how he’s gonna do it without the cup!
Lash Legend says they have to fix this and pronto. Jakara Jackson knows that already. Oro Mensah says Dar is down enough as it is, they have to take care of it for him. Dar wants five more minutes with the picture but they pull him away. What can they do to get Dar his precious back?
Kiara James is on the phone.
Yeah, “that” was so good. She figured Gigi could use a new look. Or rather, a fresh coat of paint. But speaking of, there’s a sign on her office door. “Wet paint?” She says bye to who she’s speaking with, and then steps inside. She looks around to see it all trashed! Paint splatters all over the wall, flowers strewn all around, and the word “PHONY” in big red letters. Kiana knows who did this but there’s still a note. “You can NEVER outrun your past – Gigi” Well okay then, Gigi, the gloves come off. What will happen next between the Calculator and the Outsider?
Von Wagner is beating up on Javier Bernal?!
Big Body Javi is getting thrown all around ringside and Stone says to kick Javi’s ass! Von TOSSES Javi over the steel steps! Then RAMS him into barriers! It seems Javi was talking trash, so this is what he gets! But Stone tells Von not to bomb Javi on the desk. Why not? Because it’ll mean more if he beats Javi in the ring. Von agrees with that, but then he trophy lifts Javi and aims for barriers! Stone stops Von and tells him to trust the process. Fans want the table, Von thinks about it, and he likes their idea better! Von clears off the desk, then drags Javi back up for the POWERBOMB through the desk!!
Stone is beside himself but the fans love it! Von smiles, was this the kind of therapy he needed all along?
NXT hears from Lucien Price & Bronco Nima.
Their childhood friendship started right outside this store front, La Caribena. NXT ain’t ready for this. They’re rolling up to the Perfromance Center, and Nima says they’re gonna run through the tag division. No one’s seen a combination like them. D1 athleticism with street wise knowledge. They’re not blood brothers but brothers at heart and they’re gonna unleash the anger. They went from younguns to OGs. NXT hears them coming, but no one’s listening. Every team better know they about to get it. Nobody’s safe! They’re on their way, and they’re bringing a storm with them!
Losers Leave NXT: The Creed Brothers w/ Ivy Nile VS The Dyad w/ Ava Raine & Joe Gacy!
Speaking of the NXT Tag Division, things have gone back and forth between these forces on the roster for months now, and it all comes to a head here tonight! Despite what he says, Gacy put Jagger & Rip in this position, but is it because he knows they will be forged by the fire? Or will Julius & Brutus use this one match to take a big bite out of The Schism’s tree?
But speaking of that animosity, The Dyad attacks the moment Julius & Brutus are in the ring! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, Jagger dumps Julius out and he helps Rip mug Brutus!

Gacy and the Dyad still throw a fit, but Gacy tells The Dyad they can still get in there and take the Creeds out. Gacy walks off while fans wave bye and surely sing “HEY HEY HEY” at him. Rip and Jagger regroup, talk strategy, and then Jagger tags Rip. Rip circles with Julius, Julius waistlocks but Rip switches. Rip spins Julius, snapmares, but Julius handsprings through!

Jagger drags Brutus up, wrenches and RAMS Brutus’ arm, then throws down elbows! Jagger throws more elbows, cranks the arm, and ROCKS Brutus with forearms!

Rip clamps on with a chinlock and he grinds Brutus. Brutus endures, even as Rip full mounts the armlock. Fans rally and Brutus fights up. Brutus throws forearms, reaches out, but Rip knees low! Rip clamps onto the arm again, double wristlocks, but Brutus powers his way forward! Brutus and Julius reach for each other, but Rip turns Brutus around to ARMLOCK DDT! Cover, TWO!
Brutus clutches the arm but he’s still in this. Rip throws down hands, stomps Brutus right in the face, and then short arm LARIATS! Rip covers, TWO! Rip clamps onto Brutus, fans rally up for the Creeds, and Brutus fights up. Brutus throws forearms, reaches out, but Rip knees low! Rip brings Brutus around, but Brutus suplexes instead!

The Dyad mug and whip Julius bu t he jumps the lariats to DOUBLE LARIAT the Dyad out!
Fans fire up as Julius WRECKS both men with a dropkick, and then skins the cat to PLANCHA! Direct hit on both Jagger and Rip, and Julius fires off forearms! Fans fire up as Julius puts Rip in, but Jagger anchors a leg. Julius kicks free but Rip cradles! TWO!! Julius JUMP KNEES back! Tag to Brutus and the Creeds whip and fireman’s carry. KNEE DEATH VALLEY COMBO! Cover, TWO!! Rip survives and Brutus still clutches that bad arm. Tag back to Julius, the Creeds get Rip up, but Jagger SUPERKICKS Brutus! Julius ROCKS Jagger and tosses him, but Rip rolls Julius up! TWO!!
Julius escapes, Jagger tags in! Jagger gets around, crucifix and throat chop! Takedown into the cover, TWO!! Julius survives and Ava grows frustrated on their behalf.

Then they scurry away into the crowd! Jagger tags Rip, The Dyad aims at Julius! DOUBLE CODE BREAKER!! Cover, THE DYAD WINS!?!
Winners: The Dyad, by pinfall (The Creed Brothers MUST LEAVE NXT)
Fans boo, but there are yellow Schism masks peppered in the crowd who must be quietly loving this. Who was the person in the red hood and new mask? Was this why Gacy was so confident? As for Julius & Brutus, they’re not out of NXT! Where will they go now?
Finn Balor speaks.
“Trick and Melo. You ain’t sweatin’ me? You ain’t sweatin’ the Judgment Day? No, you were sweatin’ all over my ring when I dragged you from corner to corner a couple weeks ago on Raw. But I get it. By sticking your nose in my business, you get that Finn rub. But trust me, there ain’t gonna be no happy endings. I’ll see you next Tuesday. How’s that for subliminal?” The Prince is returning to NXT, and he’s bringing the Judgment Day with him! Will they look to bring down Trick Melo Gang?
Bron Breakker is here!
As if the fans weren’t bummed out enough by the Creeds being expelled, now the Big Bad Booty Nephew is here. Bron gets a mic as fans boo, and he says, “Now in case some of you live under a rock, a couple weeks ago, I competed in the biggest match in NXT history. On the most watched NXT show in over two years, because I called out Seth Rollins.” Fans boo and remind him he lost. But Bron says he and Seth went to war. “But the kicker was that not one of you in this arena, at home, believed that I had a shot. Until I speared Seth Rollins in the center of this ring, and I heard the energy in this arena drop.
“Now, Seth would go on to prove to the world how good that he is, and is everything that he says that he is, but I can’t stress enough how close that I was to winning the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.” Fans boo more as Bron says it was “a fraction of a second away from winning gold, at only 78 matches in my career. 78 matches is all I’ve had. Hell, Seth Rollins has had more Premium Live Event matches than I’ve had period!” Bron didn’t have the “luxury” of traveling the world and wrestling in high school gyms before getting here. Everything Bron has done has been right here, live TV for the whole world to see every week!
Fans do cheer that, and Bron says night one, he beat one of the hottest stars in the business right now, LA Knight! Fans chant “YEAH!” but Bron says he’s just 25 years old. And yet he proved he can hang with the very best in this business, and he is that damn good! Fans are a bit torn there. Bron wants us to get used to seeing his face for decades to come because he’s got a lot more people to beat, and a lot more championships to win. And a lot of people are asking, “What’s next for the most intense superstar in WWE? What’s next for the badass Bron Breakker?” Well here comes ILJA DRAGUNOV!
Ilja tells Bron, “You would like to know what’s next in line for you, right? Well… Next in line is me.” Fans cheer that! Ilja came out to confront Bron like a man, not by attacking him backstage or in the middle of a match where his attention is somewhere else. No, Ilja did this with Bron’s head up, and face to face. Ilja wanted to let Bron know that between Ilja and the NXT title, there stands but one person: Bron. Ilja came out here to eliminate Bron. It’s funny that Bron talks about danger, because you’re standing in the ring with THE most dangerous man in NXT! Ilja hits a JUMP KICK and then fires off forearms!
Bron waistlocks, they go around, refs rush out but fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” Ilja gets loose but Bron TACKLES him! Bron rains down fists, superstars and prospects rush out to separate them, but they just get haymakers for it! Bron ELBOWS Ilja, Ilja PELES back! Even MORE superstars come out, but Ilja CLOBBERS Bron off the apron and onto them! The entire locker room empties but they just get clobbered by Ilja as he wants after Bron again! Bron TACKLES Ilja again, but then Ilja hits him back! These two are surely the most dangerous men in NXT, but who will be number one in the end?
My Thoughts:
A really good NXT, though this must’ve been at the end of a taping session because that crowd was half dead for roughly half of it (in total). Really good opener from Roxie and Blair, but it makes sense for Blair to win, as it’ll extend the feud. Really good vignette from Corbin, and I do like the idea of him getting rid of his King Corbin, Constable Corbin, Happy Corbin/Modern Wrestling God Corbin and even Lone Wolf Corbin stuff to try and be more of the Corbin he is now. But in a way that ends up being his gimmick: No BS Corbin. Either way, a good, fresh start and who knows what that leads to while he’s still in NXT.
Bate VS Ali was great stuff, but I had a feeling Ali would find a way to win. Wes VS Ali is going to be great stuff at the Great American Bash, the build over the next three weeks is going to be great stuff, but who knows how the match goes. As it has been said, Ali has not held any gold in the WWE, though he totally deserves to, but who knows if he’s to be the one that breaks Wes’ record setting streak. Though as I’ve also said before, it’d be a great move as Wes can then launch to the top title. Great promo from Meta Four, and I knew the moment Dar started talking to someone/something off camera, it was related to the Heritage Cup. The team is definitely gonna petition Dar gets a rematch with Nathan Frazer since he wasn’t the one who lost the cup.
Solid first match for Kelani Jordan on NXT TV, though her using Stun-Dog Millionaire as a finisher is not gonna work, because it is one of those rare counter attack moves. She should work on a finisher that plays off her being a gymnast, like a moonsault variation. That said, her and Cora having a match will be good stuff, and probably leads to a rematch of Cora VS Dana. Great promo from Chase U to officially give us Duke & Chase VS Gulak & Dempsey, and good promo from Kiana James to set up a rematch with Gigi Dolin. I kinda want them to come up with a unique stipulation within the No Disqualification family, so that there can be cans of paint and office supplies used to represent both of them.
Good final vignette from Price & Nima before they debut on NXT TV, and good promo from Trick Melo Gang and Finn Balor to set up some stuff between them. It can add some stuff to the Judgment Day dysfunction between Finn and Priest, especially if they’re called upon to be in a tag match against Trick Melo Gang. And I really liked how outta nowhere Von beating up on Javi was. And I thought this was going a certain way, but maybe NXT trimmed down my idea of pacifist Von VS righteous anger Von to get right to where Von uses his anger for good instead of evil. The fans are definitely gravitating towards “Face who is still aggressive” Von, they loved him tossing Javi around.
Really good promo from Tony D, Stacks and Joe Coffey. So Stacks isn’t a traitor but maybe just naïve? I do feel like he’ll find a way to beat Joe so that he and Tony can have their tag title match at Great American Bash. But at the same time, it’d be wild for NXT to go all law/crime show and have a kayfabe court trial that sees Tony acquitted and then he and Stacks still go after Gallus for the tag titles. Either way, I’m not even sure the D’Angelo Family takes the titles, Gallus make good Heels to take on just about any team they want in the division. Los Lotharios certainly want their shot, and I’d love to see Hank ‘n’ Tank get a try.
Really fun stuff in that “NXT Underground” match. But was it just me or did it feel like they could’ve easily had Gable Steveson turn on Eddy there? He was holding up his gold medal, he could’ve cracked Eddy with it behind the ref’s back, but instead he stayed Face and then just got to throw around the “obnoxious” Underground lumberjacks. But I’m really surprised Kemp didn’t get one win against Eddy, feels kinda underwhelming for the whole story. And very good match from Lyra VS Jacy, but I figured Lyra would win here. She’s still on a slow build to being a contender, and I kinda hope she and Blair cross paths to reference back to NXT UK.
We got a great tag match in the main event, and as I said last week, I had a feeling the Creeds would lose. They’ve already had the tag titles, there isn’t really anything more for them to do, so they’re probably moving on to SmackDown on the Road to SummerSlam. Ivy had a good interaction with Tiffany, they’re going to have a good match, and I’m sure the NXT crowd would love to see Ivy get her title shot. And pretty sure that hooded figure was just Gacy in disguise. He got himself ejected and pulled a Solo Sikoa from Night of Champions, aka came back when no one expected it. Now Gacy can take credit in some way, which will just add more dysfunction.
And great closing segment with Bron and Ilja, but it really exposed how the crowd was just done. Those boos sounded piped in, as it sure didn’t seem like anyone in the crowd was even bothering. But the fans did come alive when Ilja showed up to confront Bron, they had a great brawl, and they’re going to have an awesome match. Pretty sure Dragunov wins that, he finally moves up to the NXT title, and he can have an awesome feud with Melo. Bron losing would hopefully mean he moves on to RawDown, probably more Raw than SmackDown, and we’ll see where he goes from there.
My Score: 8.6/10

Zero Hour – Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
“Smart” Mark stops Arkady Aura from even starting as he introduces his team of Josh Woods, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari.

Lexy Nair is with Truth Magnum, Turbo Floyd & Erica Leigh, who are still celebrating their first win on AEW TV! Can you believe it?! The Outrunners have done it!

Six Man Tag: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara, Holo.grm & VS The Dark Order!
The ROH World Tag Team Champions have brought this gold from Texas to Chicago, and they also brought the shining star who has already captured the hearts of the fans. But will The Natural, The Spanish God and the futuristic luchador be a top tier trio? Or will Evil Uno, John Silver & Alex Reynolds prove #DarkOrderIsGood enough for golden opportunities?

Dustin calls to Sammy, Sammy goes up to FLYING CUTTER! Hologram goes up to 450 SPLASH!! Cover, Team Texas wins!
Winners: Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm, by pinfall
A great debut on Rampage for Hologram, a great win overall for the ROH World Tag Team Champions, will they keep this going until they’re dripping with gold?
The Bang Bang Gang speaks.
Juice Robinson says here’s the thing about the AEW Trios Division: You need momentum on your side. You ain’t gonna get the job done with a win here and there. You need to string ’em together, snowball effect. W after W after W! Austin says chill. They all want W’s, but there is something serious to address. Austin still doesn’t have a nickname! They’ve got Fully Cocked Colten Gunn! Rock Hard Juice Robinson! And… What do they have for Austin? Colten thinks on it. But in steps The Cage of Agony. Bishop Kaun says he has an idea: Ass Boy Austin! Oh, clever, clever. No right, here’s one: Runner Up in the Top Prospect Tournament!
Wow, that was a long time ago, Kaun. Not relevant. The Machine says there has to be a better one. Kaun has it now: Nepo Baby. What? Like he’s got a famous mom or something? Kaun says okay, no, this is the best: Former AEW World Trios Champion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s just everyone here right now. Colten says that’s tough talk coming from the team that lost the ROH World Six Man titles to them. Cage says hey, Colten, you might be a “body guy” compared to the rest of this roster, but stepping to The Machine, watch your tone. Shake weights don’t count, Cage. Cage says the only reason Bang Bang Gang won cuz they had six guys at the time!
Nowadays, the three Bang Bang Gang won’t beat The Cage of Agony. Then let’s find out! If you’re not down with that, they have two words for ya! GUNS- Wait! The Cage of Agony block the finger guns! They clap their hands and say, “Gates, OPEN!” Toa Liona roars, Juice roars back, sorta. Will the Collision Cowboys be able to bring down these three behemoths? Or will they be caught inside The Cage of Agony?
BREAKING NEWS!
Lexy Nair says for the Zero Hour, there will be a TRIOS TRIPLE THREAT! Standing by are two of the three teams, Top Flight Crew’s Darius, Dante & Action, and Shane Taylor Promotions with Beast Mortos. But then the third team can be heard coming as Roderick Strong shouts “BEEEEAST!” Roddy thought Mortos was Kingdom! Shane says Mortos followed the money, so can he help them? Matt Taven says Mortos hasn’t learned the value of a dollar! Mike Bennett says Shane can’t help them, but they can help Shane, because surprise, guess who the third team is? Yeah, it’s The Kingdom. And there’s a BIG winner’s purse put on this one.
Not that it’s going to more matching outfits, Top Flight. The Kingdom leaves, Action says check it. In the end, it doesn’t matter whose side The Beast is on, it won’t be the winning side. And Top Flight IS. They will fly home with that guac. CHACHING~! So buckle up. Lee Moriarty has Shane and Mortos calm down. Will #TAIGASTYLE have just the plan to come away with that big money cash prize?
Friday Night Fashion Fight: The MXM Collection VS The House of Black!
It’s hard to say there are any rules outside the norm for this match, other than to dress to impress. Will Mansoor & Mason Madden prove that no matter what, they’re always the best dressed in the locker room? Or will Brody King & Buddy Matthews give them a makeover involving bruises, lacerations and hospital gowns?
Wait, who is this weirdo in the trash bag and oversized wood sandals? Why is he being carried out here? These are the judges for this Fashion Fight?! Well, what do you expect from modern fashion these days? Anyway, the teams sort out, and the Iron Chic starts against the Aussie Juggernaut. The fans bark for the House of Black, and Mansoor dodges Buddy. Mansoor struts, POSES, and calls for a score. Tens across the board! Buddy scowls, waistlocks, Mansoor switches, but Buddy switches. Mansoor switches again, shoves, and POSES! Another score of tens across the board! Feels like they’re a bit biased, though…
Buddy and Mansoor tie up, Mansoor waistlocks, Buddy switches, but Mansoor ELBOWS free! Mansoor runs, sunset flips, but Buddy stays up! Buddy drags Mansoor up, TOSSES him, then blocks a boot! Buddy swings on Mansoor but Mansoor stays in the ropes! The ref counts, Buddy lets off, and the judges give Buddy all threes! Yeah, definitely biased. Mansoor headlocks, Buddy powers out, and they RAM shoulders! Buddy doesn’t budge, and he headlocks for a takeover! Mansoor headscissors, Buddy kips free, then he avoids the sweep. Buddy headlocks, Mansoor powers up and out, but Buddy CLOBBERS him!
Mansoor gets up, Buddy blocks the kick and FLIPS Mansoor! Mansoor scrambles away, asks for a score, and Buddy gets a total of 4! Mansoor says he is still better than Buddy, and he tags Mason in. The Mahogany Hunk calls out the King of Death, and the fans bark it up! Buddy tags Brody, and Mason is all fired up! Brody stares Mason down, but then Mansoor tags in? Mansoor steps up to Brody, says eat this, and CHOPS! But Brody doesn’t budge! The judges still give all tens! But Brody CHOPS Mansoor! Mansoor falls, the judges can’t hep but admit, that was a seven. Mansoor RIPS that seven, and finds the “YOU SUCK” one among them!
But then Mansoor turns around, and Brody CROSSBODIES them all!! That’s a ten, as in, a STRIKE! The fans fire up as Brody holds up the ten! Mason runs up but Buddy FLYING KNEES him down! Mason is in a daze, Buddy holds up the ten, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Brody drags Mansoor up to run and RAM him into railing! Brody CHOPS Mansoor against apron, Buddy says ten! The fans cheer, “TEN! TEN! TEN!” Brody kicks Mansoor into the ring, drags him up, and CHOPS! TEN! Mansoor stings, he feels more like a two right now. Buddy tags, he drags Mansoor up and CHOPS him down! TEN! Mansoor bails out, the House pursues, and they put Mansoor back in. But Mason ancohrs Buddy! Buddy kicks Mason, but Mansoor DRAPING DDTS Buddy!! Tag to Mason, and he SENTONS! Anmd ELBOW DROPS! And covers, ONE!! Mason snarls, he tags Mason, and MXM double whip.
MXM DOUBLE ELBOW, POSE, but no judges to score it. DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Mansoor drags Buddy up, tags Mason in, and MXM mugs Buddy. Mason whips Mansoor in, but Buddy BOOTS him! Buddy goes up and over Mason, but Mansoor lifts Buddy! Mason runs, HIGH KICK SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Mason stares Brody down, drags Buddy up, and puts him on ropes. Mason CHOKES Buddy, lets off as the ref counts, and Mansoor hip attacks! Mansoor says kiss this, and Mason tags him in. MXM regroup on the apron, finger boop and DOUBLE HIP ATTACK! Buddy sputters as MXM clap them cheeks!
MXM go again, but Buddy mores! Mansoor takes the worse of that, and Buddy BLASTS them both off the apron! Mansoor hurries back in, and he CLOBBERS Buddy! Mansoor drags Buddy up, brings him over, and Mason steps in. MXM whips Buddy to the corner, then shake their booties. Rampage returns to single picture, Mansoor runs in, but Buddy BOOTS him down! Mansoor falls to his knees, Buddy runs up and uses him for a step! FLYING KNEE into Mason! The fans fire up as Buddy and MXM are all down! Buddy crawls, but Mason YANKS Brody down! The fans boo, but Mason eggs Brody on. Mansoor rolls Buddy, TWO!

The fans fire up as the two RAM shoulders! Chants of “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” begins! The forearms fly, “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” The CHOPS and the BOOTS, “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” Mason dodges, fireman’s carries, but Brody elbows free! ROLLING ELBOW! Fireman’s carry, but Mansoor makes the save! SUPERKICK! Brody LARIATS back! Mason is still up, and he choke grips! Brody pries free, so Mason HEADBUTTS!

Buddy rolls through, Brody is in, Mansoor is thrown into DANTE’S INFERNO!! Cover, The House of Black wins!
Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall
Talk about “Brutal fashion,” this was a victory as beautiful as it was vicious! Brody & Buddy proved #TheHouseAlwaysWins, but will they win their way back to title opportunities?
Will Ospreay speaks.
“I have been asked all day today, ‘How you feelin’, Will? You feelin’ alright?’ I dunno how you feel when you’ve taken a Poison-Rana on the stage and a brainbuster on some stage carts, mate, but yeah, hunky dury. I’m feeling great. I’m feeling great to cut these ties that bind myself to Pac. That’s history, right? See, Pac, everybody might know you as The Bastard right now, or maybe they know you as The Man Gravity Forgot. I know you as a UK backyard wrestler. You see, I could say words to you right now that’d perk your ears up that no one else knows. I could say stuff like Steve Farrow. I could say stuff like NAW.
“Because I’ve walked in your shoes. When I walked into that territory that you left, they’d say, ‘Man, you’re good. You ain’t Pac.’ They said the same thing on the UK independents. They said, ‘You’re good, but you’re not Pac.'” Ospreay made them all eat their words, and then he walked on the bridge Pac built, from England to Japan. Pac paved the way for him and Ospreay is thankful. But when Ospreay walked in there, they also said, “You’re good, but you’re not Pac.” Ospreay has been chasing Pac, and five years ago, Pac was Dragon Gate Dream Gate Champion, and Ospreay was NEVER Openweight Champion, and they didn’t get a decision. It was a 30 minute time limit draw.
You think Ospreay is satisfied with that? Nah, bruv! Ospreay’s still been chasing Pac! And here it is. Without even realizing it, Ospreay has lapped Pac. When Pac hit that rana, and Ospreay heard that crappy northern accent, “Don’t you underestimate me.” You thought Ospreay forgot? Nah, bruv. Ospreay could never forget Pac. Not all the work Pac’s done, not all the history they have. No one has forgotten about Pac. He just has been in this position so many times, we’ve lost faith. Wanna change it? Then there’s 24 hours left, bruv. These two may not have had their Wembley Moment together, but who walks away having won THE moment?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage as part of the go-home night to All Out, though they of course accommodated the bleed over from Collision. Good stuff, already talked about it all for the Collision article, and I also touched on Moxley & Marina jumping The Outrunners with that article, too. It was easy heat for Moxley & Marina beating up on The Outrunners, who just had their big moment, but Moxley touched on not celebrating mediocrity and being humble in victory. Darby Allin will probably respond by saying this is just Moxley being a bully. Anyway, good win for Aminata, and Deeb watching her sets up how they’ll be feuding soon enough.
Good promo of Bang Bang Gang and Cage of Agony, and they’ll have a very good match, probably naming the winners the #1 contenders to the World Trios Championships. More than I can say for Premier Athletes. What business do Nese, Daivari & Woods have watching Dustin & Sammy like they’re gonna get any of the ROH titles off them? Nese, Daivari & Woods lose to all sorts of established names, Dustin, Sammy & The Von Erichs will be no different. But still a really good, really fun Six Man Tag of Dustin, Sammy & Hologram beating Dark Order. Dark Order really is a trio that should’ve been given more, but oh well.
Good promo segment from Kingdom, STP and Top Flight, with another of these kayfabe’d money prize matches happening just because. Like, title opportunities not being won here? I know Roddy is waiting to go after the FTW Championship, but why not have him & The Kingdom try to move up from ROH titles to AEW titles in this match? Though, Top Flight might be right. They won that $3000 trios royale thing a year or so ago, they might win this one so that they keep making money and building their budget for more airline pilot gimmick gear.
And while I was expecting a fashion show themed Street Fight, I suppose judges giving scores was good enough of a gag for this match. The fashion themed Street Fight would’ve probably been better, though. But the House of Black would’ve won out anyway, so best to do it in a standard rules match. And then a great promo from Ospreay to properly frame this feud with Pac. I do wish they would’ve let this be the All In match but whatever, this will still be a show stealer of a match for All Out. But as I said for Collision, and even Dynamite on Wednesday, Pac has been standing tall so the math favors Ospreay retaining the title.
My Score: 8.7/10
