Trick Melo Gang talks backstage.
The Great American Bash was crazy! That was Melo’s toughest challenge and his greatest performance. It could’ve gone either way, and Trick says that’s why he used that belt as motivation. Melo appreciates it, and apologizes for Trick taking that headbutt from Ilja. That was somewhere between bad luck and instincts. Trick says to forget that, as long as Melo got the W. That’s what it is, and that’s all it’s gonna be. But uh, check this. Now that Dragunov is in the rearview, Trick means what he said. Well, he said a lot last week. Trick says he’s gotta start doing things for himself. Melo says go ahead, get your bag.
No, Melo doesn’t understand what Trick means. Trick says they’re always gonna be friends, ride or die. But Trick ain’t a sidekick. Melo never said he was! He doesn’t see Trick like that! Trick says Melo may not, but “they” do! Melo is Melo, he’s on top and doing his thing, rightfully so. Maybe one of the best ever. But Trick isn’t a champion. Melo is. Melo beat the Mad Dragon, but Trick needs to get one for himself. Trick needs to show Dragunov that Trick can slay dragons, too. Melo says damn. He respects that. Trick says this ain’t a break-up, he just has to be his own man. Well, Melo has Trick’s back. Shoot for the stars and don’t miss. They shake on it, and Trick heads out. Will Trick bring gold of his own to Trick Melo Gang?
Tony & Stacks are getting checked out in the medical wing.
Stacks says that was some bull. McKenzie Mitchell walks over and brings up the attack. Not exactly what they expected for tonight. Does the doctor have a medical update for them? Tony speaks up first, saying the update is that Gallus are dead men walking. That was an act of desperation. They lost the titles at GAB, and now- And NOW, they can just turn their car right back around and get in the building. Tony wants Gallus, and he means ALL of Gallus. Stacks brings up how that’s 3v2! Then Tony will make a call. To who? Stacks knows who. Tony just hopes he’ll pick up. Tony & Stacks head out, despite the doctor’s wishes. Just who will be the third man for the Family?
Dominik Mysterio & Rhea Ripley are here!
Fans boo as “Dirty” Dom and Mami walk to the ring, Dom still holding onto the North American Championship only because of Mami. Rhea gets the mics to say, “AND STILL your NXT North American Champion… DIRTY DOMINIK MYSTERIO~!” Fans boo as Dom says, “Mami’s always right.” Rhea agrees, and says at the GAB, Dom proved he’s more of a man than Wes Lee and Mustafa Ali, and certainly more of a man than every single man in the crowd. And that makes Dom the greatest luchador that’s ever lived! Rhea says that’s facts. Dom continues to prove every- OH! Here comes Dragon Lee!
Fans fire up as the Wonder Boy has his own mic. Dragon tells Dom, “I won’t let you disrespect the NXT Universe or your heritage any longer.” Rhea laughs and tells Dom it’s Rey Mysterio Jr. Jr. Dragon says he doesn’t like Rhea. And Dom, if Dragon has this right, Dom says he’s the greatest luchador of all time? Dragon does not believe that, the fans do not believe that, and even Dom doesn’t believe that! Because the greatest luchador of all time is TU PADRE, REY Mysterio! Dom says HE makes the Mysterio name relevant! HE is the champion! Ah ah ah ah ah! Dragon knows Dom is only champion because his Mami was there.
Dragon can’t even understand it! How is it Rhea has Dom’s… cajones in her purse. Rhea looks Dragon up and down, and then says Dom’s are still bigger than Dragon’s. Then prove it! Next week, for the title! Rhea says okay and Dom says he is a fighting champion. We’ll see what happens next week. Rhea will of course be in Dom’s corner, she is all he needs. And wherever her Latino Heat goes, she goes. Perfect! Cuz next week, Dragon won’t be alone, either. Dragon looks to the tron, and REY has a message for Dom! Fans go nuts as Rey tells little Dominik that guess what? Rey is proud to say that he is coming to NXT to be in the corner of someone he truly respects! The future of lucha libre, Dragon Lee!
And hate to break it to you, but Rey will have the best seat in the house, and he can’t wait as Dragon just totally… Well, you know. Dragon’s gonna take that North American Championship! See you then. Dom and Rhea are upset, but will they still find a way to do this title dirty?
Melo is on the phone.
But then Wes storms in and throws some stuff around. Melo asks what’s up, what’s wrong? Wes says it’s not Melo’s concern, he should worry about recovering from his match with Dragunov. Melo still asks what’s bugging Wes. Does Melo care? Man, save the self-pity! Self pity?! Wes throws a chair aside as he shouts he has lost THREE WEEKS IN A ROW! Melo is on top of the world as NXT Champion after tearing the house down in Texas, and Wes is scraping by and fighting for his life. Don’t dare act like you know what Wes is going through!
Melo tells Wes to calm the hell down because Wes doesn’t understand what it is to BE NXT Champion. Melo went through a war on Sunday. Melo can barely even breathe, but you don’t see him complaining and whining. Another man will step up to the plate, Dragunov will want a rematch. Nobody gets it, since y’all ain’t ever lived it. Now Melo gets why Breakker snapped. Oh, Wes knows what it is to be a champion. But in steps Noam Dar with Oro Mensah. Look at this mad, sad little boys. Well life ain’t sweet if you ain’t Meta Four. And life IS sweet! Dar has something neither of them will ever have, and that’s the Heritage Cup Championship.
Uh, Dar, you’re not the Cup Champion. It’s Frazer. Oh, Wes wants to get real? Well, Wes never beat Dar, but Dom beat Wes twice! Wes step sup, Oro pushes him, and a brawl breaks out! Other superstars step in between these four, will the Scottish Supernova and his main man end up humbled but Wes and HIM?
Backstage interview with Chase U.
McKenzie is with Andre Chase, Duke Hudson and Thea Hail as she brings up the second loss to Tiffany. It was an incredible fight, but Thea was rather emotional after. How is she feeling now? Thea says she gave it everything she had, left it all in the ring, and Chase threw in the towel. She didn’t give up! She swears she didn’t! Chase says that’s true, she did not give up. But he had to do that! NO HE DIDN’T! Baron Corbin walks over and says seriously, this is over, there’s the exit. No it’s not, this is their allotted time. Then get through it already! Just say sorry for crushing Thea’s hopes and dreams and go.
Oh, sorry, did Corbin even see the match while being thrown around by an Olympic Gold Medalist? Corbin laughs and says if Gable shows his face again, Corbin will finish that fight. And since Chase won’t say it, Corbin will. Corbin leans in to tell Thea, “Excuse me, little girl. This job, it’s not for everybody. You tried, and you failed. And you peaked on Sunday. So you should pack your things and find something else to do.” Chase tells Corbin that’s enough. He’s a POS and Chase won’t let him talk to Thea like that! Well, tighten your dress pants and do something about it. Oh, Chase will. Chase won’t let people talk to Thea like that, but Thea doesn’t want to talk to Chase.
What can Chase do to make it up to her? Will humbling Corbin be a good start?
Eddy Thorpe VS DIJAK!
The Alpha Wolf has been racking up wins, including in an NXT Underground match, but none of that matters to #HardJustice! Will Dijak make Eddy prove to him that he’s legit? Or will Eddy’s momentum be put in lockdown?

Winner: Dijak, by pinfall
The Alpha Wolf fought hard but he could only do so much with one arm. Will Dijak use this win to establish himself as the top dog in NXT?
Tony D’Angelo is on the phone.
He says they’ll never believe it! Gallus got them right outside the car! Stacks walks over and asks what he’s saying. Tony says if anyone understands this, it’s him. Business is business. Look, do this for him and they’re even stevens. Good? Good! Yeah, see you then. So he’s in? He’s on the way. The Underboss & The Don are ready, but just who is this ringer they’re calling it?
Dana Brooke & Kelani Jordan watch back film.
Kelani can’t believe how Dana just kept hitting Cora Jade again and again with that kendo stick. Cora didn’t stand a chance! “Good for you, girl! Cora should’ve never got on your bad side.” Dana says Cora brought out something in Dana. A dark side. It just kinda came out. But that’s the side that maybe we needed to see. Yeah! After all the different directions her career has gone, after seeing all those negative comments, as soon as Dana had that kendo stick in hand, she saw red. But y’know what? Dana kinda liked it. Kelani says Dana is kinda badass. Yeah? Yeah. Maybe that’s something Kelani should try to tap into.
How so? All the gymnastics training is great, but Kelani needs to call someone out! Find that killer instinct! Hmm… Kelani thinks about it. Will she and Dana sharpen their edge and climb the ranks of NXT?
Yulisa Leon & Valentina Feroz VS Elektra Lopez & Loa Vice!
Leon & Feroz helped Nathan Frazer & Dragon Lee defeat Meta Four in the Great American Bash Kickoff Show, but if you asked La Madrina and her MMA amiga, it was more the other way around. Will Lopez & Lola prove they have the fire and desire? Or will there be plenty of Latina Heat from Leon & Feroz?
The teams sort out, Leon starts against Lopez and the two tie up. They go around, Leon waistlocks, Lopez switches and SLAMS Leon down! Lopez wraps on a SLEEPER but Leon arm-drags free!

It was a lot of chaos, but in the end, Lopez & Lola proved their point! Their fire was hotter, will they blaze a trail up to the top?
Tiffany Stratton posted a TikTok.
It was a #GRWM, a “Get Ready With Me.” She recorded herself doing her make-up as she reminded us all that she faced “a little girl full of energy, Thea Hail.” But she won’t lie, Thea pushed her. There were so many moments where Tiff wanted to give up. Her arm was hurting so bad, she literally could’ve passed out from the pain. But after weeks of torture, it is finally over. And she will be back next week to grace us with her presence. Maybe she’ll choose her next opponent, throw a #Tiffybration, or whatever else she wants. But whatever it’ll be, you can believe it’ll be fabulous. What will be next for Wrestling Barbie in NXT?

But Wes says it IS! Will Wes’s anger lead him to go after HIM next?
Bron Breakker speaks.
“Von Wagner. How you holding up after that Spear last week?” Bron’s had the chance to watch Von’s story unfold, and he has to say… It’s touching stuff. Really is. (That’s sarcasm) Bron will shot straight, though. Von’s a nobody, just like his father! Von’s soft, that’s it! Telling it like it is! If Von doesn’t like what Brno’s saying, then come find him! But if you do, that picture from when Von was a kid with the scar on his head, if you think that was bad. wait until Bron’s done with you. One badass second generation star calls out the other, who will come out of it as the baddest?
Rhea & Dom are taking their leave.
Dom is upset that Dragon and Rey are trying to steal his spotlight. But then Axiom walks over! And Axiom says Dom is a parasite! Leeching off his father’s blood, sweat and tears.

Ali is upset, Axiom says Ali was the one disrespecting him. Oh, right, sorry, Axiom got disrespected! Hey, everybody, Axiom got disrespected! Try being disrespected for EIGHT YEARS!! Go worry about the Heritage Cup or Scrypts. That NAC is Ali’s! Ali isn’t doing himself any favors, will he have to worry about the Undeniable Truth on top of Dirty Dom?
Andre Chase w/ Chase U VS Baron Corbin!
The Professor looks to defend his student’s honor, but he’s going up against the new “No BS, burn the ships” Baron Corbin. Will this be a #TeachableMoment for Corbin about respect? Or for Chase that not everyone can succeed?

Roxanne Perez shares her homecoming with NXT.
Coming home to Texas, she felt so good to be back. She missed Texas so much. Coming into the WWE, she had to find herself. And now, she knows who Roxie Perez is, and what she won’t take. Roxie reunites with her family, they are so proud of her and her hard work. Mom says it’s all Roxie, and Raquel was worried she might have to close her eyes with the Weapons Wild Match.
And of course, Roxie went to WonderCon, only for Blair to try and ruin the fun. They had their pull-apart scrap, and Roxie vowed to make Blair regret everything she’s ever done to her. Booker T taught Roxie that she can’t focus on the past, she has to push forward and focus on what’s next. This match was for every victim of Blair’s “reign of terror.” And we know how that match went down! Roxie give as good as she got, and she came out on top! Sorry not sorry for what she had to do. And honestly, no more apologies to anyone that forgot this is Roxie Perez. “And you can’t break me.” Will Roxie be unstoppable on her road back to the top?
Tony’s mystery man appears!
Great muscle car, great shoes, but we don’t get to see his face! Who is this walking in to back up The Don?
The Meta Four celebrates backstage.
Dar says they are untouchable! Lash wants them to hold up, wait a minute! Does he realize what happened? “Y’all just beat the NXT Champion, and the most successful North American Champion of all time!” More applause! It feels good to be great. But Tyler Bate walks in! Don’t tell Bate that Dar only just got that cup back. C’mon, man, have you been living under a rock? Well, if you think about it, many people live their lives under metaphorical rocks. Meta Four? But Bate says he was on a meditation retreat to destress and reconnect with himself and his roots. Ever been to Tibet?
Jakara doesn’t care about anything that Bate just said. But clearly, Dar never actually lost the cup. Um, so then he is the champ? Yes! And he’s beaten everyone else? Yes! There’s that meditation kicking in. Well then, as Bate sees it, Dar could do with a fresh challenger. Um… Bate says challenge accepted! Next week, Dar VS Bate, for the Cup! Bye-bye! What? NO! That’s not…! Did Dar and Meta Four put all of their feet in their mouths? Will the Big Strong Boi’s return to NXT bring him a return to former glory?
The Schism and their followers are in the ring.
Ava Raine, Joe Gacy & The Dyad stand with their masked-and-hooded henchmen, and Gacy says they gather tonight under The Schism’s tree from “unfortunate circumstances.” Conflict with new members is not uncommon, but in their experience, can be resolved and explored with an open heart. However… Insubordination and disobedience are toxic to their roots, and must be eradicated! There are two among them who have abandoned their values and pose a direct threat to the sanctity and future of The Schism! TIME’S UP! Jagger & Rip can’t wait! These boys are gonna get theirs. No more Diamond Mine, lads!
Gacy has the Dyad back down. They will do their due diligence. Ava says that week after week, the NXT Universe have been “adorned with these golden masks” (that are bright yellow). And it is a butterfly effect that will have impact for years to come. But two put their hands on the Dyad and that is unacceptable. They will be found out and punished. Step forward one by one and remove the masks! First up, not a Creed. Second, not a Creed. Third, is IKEMEN JIRO~! But he’s not Schism or a Creed! Jiro has a good time on his way out and The Dyad is furious! This is serious business! The fourth is not the Creeds, either, go away! Quincy shrugs and walks away.
That leaves the last two! And the Dyad is convinced! How can these two be here so calmly? The Creeds won’t get one over on them! The Dyad pounces, but reveals NOT Creeds!? The Creeds are on the tron! They’re up here, dummies! The Creeds are at a beach somewhere! To think the Dyad would think those two were the Creeds! You really thought they were in masks? But the surround sound at the hotel did make it feel like the Creeds were right there for that match. But Gacy, the UFOs might’ve fried your brain~! The paranoia is off. They lost the Losers Leave NXT and aren’t in NXT. But they are having the time of their lives!
In fact, they were at the pyramids last week! Wait, the background changes! That’s a green screen! And then Easter Island! Those heads look like Schism masks. Not that they would know, wink wink. But they go back to the beach in Fiji-Hawaii. Well, uh, they went to both. But don’t worry, they are NOT in Orlando. Not even close. They’re just calling in, checking in, and enjoying vacation. They drink it up and head out. The Dyad are furious but Ava & Gacy stop them! “Not like this!” Gacy tells the Creeds that he knows they ARE here! So followers of The Schism worldwide, FIND the Creeds and bring them here!
The cracks are forming in the foundation of this already unstable stable, will Julius & Brutus have their revenge one way or another?
Cora Jade barges into the women’s locker room.
The Punk Rock Mean Girl says, “Move move move! I can’t even believe this! I just loss to Dana Brooke of all people! Y’know, the one who comes to Raw and tries to steal my spotlight? That one! Y’know what? Forget it. I’m done. I’m leaving. I’m sick of this place. Why am I even here?” Cora is packing her things, but then looks at her stack of supposed fan mail. She says the fans are all up in her business, so they can know that she’s LEAVING. She tosses the mail, and then tells everyone good luck without her. They’re gonna need it. No one seems to care… Will the Generation of Jade be the one out of luck without NXT?

Ilja Dragunov speaks.
“Trick Williams. You are the sole reason I am NOT NXT Champion. And you’re saying you’re not done with me? Good. Because I’ not finished with you, either. Trick, look into my eyes. Now you will feel my wrath and my fury. Next week, my retribution begins, and I won’t stop until you are entirely… terminated.” The Mad Dragon is seeing red, will Trick wish he’d stayed home on Sunday?
My Thoughts:
A great NXT to follow Great American Bash, and with some great development into this next phase already. Lyra VS Jacy as the opening match was good stuff, Lyra winning I assume finishes off that story, though maybe not as powerfully as I expected. And along with Tiff’s little make-up video promo, we’re definitely getting a fresh title feud on the road to No Mercy at the end of September. Lyra has felt ready to challenge a champion, her and Tiff faced off before, this could be a great rematch. And plus, we still need Gigi VS Kiana to wrap up before either (Gigi, I assume) gets their own shot at the title.
Really good little video from Roxie to suggest we’ll truly see a more aggressive Roxie from now on. Good promo from Bron to call out Von, they’ll have a really good match. Nice promo from Dana and Kelani to respond to Dana’s win in the Kendo Stick Match. But for talking about her career going here and there, it seems rather random for Dana to suddenly say she and Kelani need to sharpen their own edge in NXT. I feel like this could be a make or break point for this duo, which also seems sudden as they really only just teamed up. But Cora had a rather fitting promo where she basically ranted and decided to rage quite NXT. It definitely won’t last, Cora’s not ready for RawDown just yet. But nice cameo from Stevie Turner and Cavinder Twins during that promo.
Good match from Eddy and Dijak, and Dijak winning was only a little surprising. Dijak’s needed something to get going, and he and Eddy might build this into a feud. Really good tag match from Leon & Feroz VS Lopez & Lola, they’re definitely being rivals and not allies. And good promo from Chase U and Corbin that then led to Andre Chase VS Corbin. I like how the fans wanted Thea to throw in the towel, that was definitely the way Thea could get back at Chase. Corbin snatching the towel to stop the forfeit was whatever, he was going to win either way. Not sure where things go from here, but I hope no Thea Heel turn. Maybe a Thea gimmick change where she goes into like her own punk/emo rock character?
Great promo from Dom & Rhea with Dragon Lee, and I love that not only are we getting a North American Championship match, Rey is gonna show up and we can get some great stuff out of those classic interactions. Personally hoping Dragon wins the title so someone else can be defending it come No Mercy. Also, as soon as Dom said what he said to Axiom, I knew he was jokingly mixing Axiom up with Dragon. Ali joining in on that promo was good, and we’re definitely getting Ali VS Axiom to more or less determine who is next after Dom VS Dragon. And as Ali mentioned, Axiom still has stuff with Scrypts, I expect Scrypts to ruin things for Axiom, Ali will face Dragon/Dom.
Great stuff from the larger Trick Melo Gang story that branched off to other stuff tonight. For one, Trick Melo Gang having a mature conversation about both parts of a duo wanting to be something and no animosity is great stuff, you don’t get that enough in pro-wrestling. And then great interaction between Melo, Wes and Meta Four to give us a great match. Of course Lash & Jakara get involved to help Dar & Oro win, but I like Tyler Bate suddenly returning and challenging Dar for Dar’s Heritage Cup. There’s a chance Meta Four helps Dar retain against Tyler, too, but that’ll just help set up things for Dar VS Frazer, Undisputed Heritage Cup Championship match.
A major detail in this is Wes Lee starting to seem more Heel like. He was more aggressive in the match, he was wearing new gear that was mostly black, and he’s aiming a lot of his anger at Melo. Heel Wes VS Face Melo to truly flip things from their North American Championship feud is good stuff. And also, great menacing promo from Dragunov to call out Trick, that is going to be awesome stuff. Depending on what happens there, Dragunov could go for his rematch like Melo is anticipating, and Trick could somehow come out of this ready for either the North American or Heritage Cup title. I would love to see a Heritage Cup Contender Tournament that Trick gets in on, and Trick could use his boxing background to win at least one match by knockout.
The Schism interrogation promo was pretty good, and went a direction I didn’t anticipate. Lining up the masked followers and revealing them, I figured there had to be a swerve about the guys with the Creed Brothers’ body types not being the Creeds. But I love that Ikemen Jiro finally made a TV return, and then Quincy Elliot was basically denied his officially speaking. The green screen vacation gag from the Creeds was pretty clever, these guys have been getting to have more fun showing off some character. And I’m thinking Ivy has to be in on this, who else would be running the green screen for them?
And great bookending of the night with Gallus and D’Angelo Family, though this might’ve been to help delay moving to another tag team just yet. Escobar being the third man was a great surprise, and great use of continuity. Great win for Escobar, Tony & Stacks, Tony & Stacks will definitely get to call the shots for their tag title story now. Though as I just said, can’t be sure who is next, but I’m sure we’ll see good build over the next eight weeks.
My Score: 8.8/10

Surprisingly, the Murderhawk Monster doesn’t maul Young Lions at ringside. But perhaps that is because he is saving all his energy for Suzuki.

Jon Moxley speaks.
“If it turns out that entering this Continental Classic tournament was a bad idea, I won’t find out ’til it’s too late. I’m banged up. Maybe the last four years is finally catching with me, because nobody’s done it anywhere in the world like I do it the last four years. My head hurts, my neck hurts, my back hurts, now my knee hurts. Getting that tingly-ness in my fingers now all the time. I live in pain on a day to day basis like most people couldn’t even imagine. Now on top of that, my head’s not screwed on straight all the time lately. The doctors are prescribing me this medication, that medication.
“And I’m just sick of it all. I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired. I’m sick and tired of being pissed off at my body failing me, I’m sick and tired of being depressed, I’m being sick and tired about being pissed about the entire last year. I’m sick and tired of being pissed off. So I’m gonna do the only thing I know how to do, the only thing I’m good at: I’m gonna wrestle my way out of it. I’m gonna fight my way out of it. I’m gonna put every ounce, every drop of sweat and effort and will I have into winning this Continental Classic tournament.
“This kind of thing, this is what AEW was built on, man. Two guys in the ring, the best wrestlers in the world, giving it their all, feeling that feeling when you’ve given every ounce of yourself in the ring, and pushing the limits, and pushing the boundaries, and making people stand up and go ‘Oh my God!’ What’d I just see?’ Feeling that connection with an audience that loves wrestling as much as we do. That is what AEW is about. Somebody’s gotta step up and win this tournament, and show the world exactly what AEW is, exactly what All Elite Wrestling can be! And that’s just gonna have to be me.
“Because anybody can say what they want but I’m the Ace of the World, b*tch, and that’s just the way it is. And there is nobody in this tournament that can do anything to me worse than what I deal with on a daily basis. Nothing they can do to me that’s worse than fighting the demons that I fight on a daily basis. If you think I’m shot, if you think my trigger’s been pulled, if you think I’m ripe for the picking, please, please, take your shot.” The Maniac is going to go until he can’t go any more, will El Toro Blanco look to take that shot this Wednesday?
Abadon VS Kiera Hogan!
With title chases never stopping, the Undead Girl and the Hottest Flame are fighting to get ahead. Who wins here to move up in the rankings towards the champions of AEW?

Backsatge interview with Samoa Joe.
Alex Marvez says the last time we saw Joe, he was furious that MJF accepted a tag team challenge from “The Devil of AEW.” Joe says why wouldn’t he be? But then someone shouts “SAMOA JOOOE~!” In rolls Roderick Strong & The Kingdom. Roddy tells Joe that Roddy is willing to forgive Joe for trying to end his career with a broken neck not just once but twice. And he knows Joe has his world title match with Max, but c’mon, this is clearly a trap! MJF is the Devil! But hey, Roddy’s best friend “ADAAAM~!” likes Joe and thinks of him as a friend. So as Adam Cole’s best friend, that makes Roddy a friend to Joe.
So hey, Wednesday, it’s a set-up. Those goons will beat the crap out of Joe! And MJF isn’t even here right now! He’s probably plotting how they’re gonna do it! The Kingdom says yeah, Roddy’s right. So just listen to him, okay? Joe chuckles and leaves. Does Joe think they’re joking? Between Joe and “The Devil,” who will have the last laugh on Dynamite?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Andrade El Idolo VS Daniel Garcia!
We saw this showdown before when CJ Perry was recruiting clients, and we saw which way that went. But then will history repeat itself? Or will Red Death ruin Andrade’s start in the Blue League?
While no “seconds” are allowed, meaning even manager CJ must return to the back, Daddy Magic found a loophole by joining commentary. He still disapproves of the Garcia dance.

Garcia goes up, Andrade CLOBBERS Garcia to the floor! Fans fire up and Andrade paces while Garcia is dazed, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Andrade paces, walking off the pain in his leg, while Garcia clutches his neck and shoulder. The ring count climbs, Andrade goes out to commentary to have one of their WOOOOO energy drinks! “WOO~!” Andrade then makes his way around to fetch Garcia, and he SMACKS Garcia off the steel steps! Andrade drags Garcia back up to put in the ring, and he has a cocky cover. ONE, but Andrade stalks Garcia to ropes. Andrade kicks Garcia around, pie faces him, and eggs him on.

Andrade’s first tournament match is his first win! Garcia is 0-2, Menard says this is a hole they’ll have to dig out of. Andrade still shows Garcia respect, but is Garcia going to be mathematically eliminated before long?
Willie Mack speaks.
“See, Wardlow, I know you’ve been going through a lot of things these past few weeks, putting your hands on people. But one thing you know about me is you don’t put your hands on my friends. Y’see, this is a person who I’ve tagged with and won multiple tag team championships in other promotions with. So what I’ma have to do, is I’ma have to reach out and touch you. So next week, we’re gonna have to do the damn thing in the ring, so guess what? You better pack a lunch, because I’m a big boy, and I’m a big meal to try to eat.” Mack is standing up for AR Fox, but will the Return of the Mack end up Wardlow’s newest victim?

Backstage interview with Ethan Page.
Lexi Nair is with All Ego, who has requested this time. Ethan says that ever since losing out on the AEW World Championship to MJF, in his home country of Canada, Ethan has had to regroup and refocus. He’s gotten into the best physical shape of his life, he has been in ROH building up win after win. And so, here Ethan is to make a challenge and check off a bucket list thing. AEW is going back to Canada, and Ethan wants to be THE biggest name in Canadian wrestling. So therefore, to be the King of Canada, he needs his crown. That crown is currently on someone else’s head.
So in Montreal, 1v1, we find out who the best Canadian wrestler truly is, as Ethan calls out KENNY OMEGA! Will The Cleaner give All Ego that opportunity?
AEW hears from Willow Nightingale and Mercedes Martinez.
The Babe with the Power tells Mercedes, “our history goes further back than you probably even realize. I’ve been such a fan, and I’ve admired you so much.” The OG Badass says the first time they met, Willow “was this night little pretty Willow.” Willow says she is constantly disappointed in Mercedes’ behavior as of late, and in herself because she hasn’t been able to beat Mercedes. Mercedes asks how many times must Willow dance her way into Mercedes’ business? Isn’t Willow tired of being everyone’s hero? Next time they meet, Willow will need to be saved. Because Mercedes will dance and stomp all over her.
Malakai Black & Buddy Matthews VS Christopher Daniels & Matt Sydal!
Brody took the lead in the Blue League, and Julia has called out her next target. Will the Dark Father and Aussie Juggernaut make sure that the House Always Wins? Or will the Fallen Angel & Zen Assassin finally stake a claim in the AEW Tag Division?
The teams sort out, Buddy starts against Sydal, and the two circle. They knuckle lock, Buddy trips and covers, ONE as Sydal gets an arm up! Buddy pushes it down, ONE as the other arm comes up. Buddy pushes that down, TWO as Sydal bridges up. Buddy jumps but Sydal stops that to then go up and over for a sunset flip, only for Buddy to stand back up! Buddy TOSSES Sydal to a corner, but Sydal slips out to the apron to bump Buddy off buckles. Sydal climbs, CROSSBODIES, but Buddy rolls through! Buddy pops Sydal up to a fireman’s carry, but Sydal slips free. Sydal KICKS, KICKS, but Buddy ELBOWS him down!
Buddy drags Sydal up, whips, but Sydal wrenches, ducks ‘n’ dodges, tilt-o-whirls, but Buddy stops the DDT! Buddy suplexes but Sydal throws knees! Sydal waistlocks.

Malakai wrenches, tag to Buddy, but Daniels avoids the double stomp to CHOP and CHOP! Daniels whips, Buddy reverses and sends him into Malakai’s BOOT! Buddy TOSSES Daniels out, Malakai goes up and out to ASAI MOONSAULT! Buddy BLASTS Sydal for good measure, and then sits with Malakai as Collision goes picture in picture.
Daniels crawls his way back to the ring, drags himself in, and Buddy looms over him. Buddy drags Daniels up to ROCK him!

Cover, House of Black wins!
Winner: The House of Black, by pinfall
Another Collision, another sweep for the Dark Father and his family. The lights go down, but why? The House is already here. But here comes FTR! Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood storm down to the ring bathed in the magenta light! Malakai tells them that before they do anything, Malakai assumes that they’re both here because they are joining the House. Dax chuckles but Malakai says he is a family man. And we know it’s been weeks. The only people in AEW that have been here for the both of them has been The House of Black. Malakai’s done a lot of things, but not once has he told a lie.
The fans chant “HOUSE OF BLACK!” and Malakai drops the mic for FTR to take. Dax picks it up, but Buddy KNEES him down! Cash goes after Buddy but he gets mugged! Cash still throws hands, but Buddy CURB STOMPS him down! Buddy then drags Dax up, and he makes Dax watch as Malakai sets Cash up! BLACK MASS!! Dax is seething but he can’t get free of Buddy’s chinbar, and Malakai says see! Not one single person has come to help them! And was Malakai right or what? No one is coming to help. Dax flips Malakai off, so he gets BLACK MASS!! Is this going to be the end for FTR in AEW once and for all?
Backstage interview with Toni Storm.
Renee Paquette is with “Timeless Toni,” bringing up last week as Storm accepting the AEW Women’s World Championship, and Storm says yes, she knows, she has no time for these prepared questions. And where is “that man who usually does my interviews? He has so much more poise.” And she isn’t even finished doing her hair because they were too busy with some blonde floosy! And yes, Storm did accept her championship last week, Renee was a dear for presenting that. But Storm was unceremoniously interrupted by Skye Blue!
Storm tells Skye that if she had any advice at all, it’d be to walk backwards! The only time anyone has anything nice to say about Skye, it’s in reference to her bottom! Is Storm supposed to be worried because Skye’s all spooky now? With that little thing on her head? Storm used to wear hats and be spooky. BOO. See? Not that hard. Interrupt her, fine. She can be first to challenge for “this little huckleberry right here.” But until then, chin up, chest out, and oh… she’s bare foot. Sorry. She takes RENEE’S shoe to throw around! Toni is timeless, but will the Storm strike down Chicago Skye?
Skye Blue speaks.
Well first, she sighs. “Toni, I have met you through every single one of your phases, but this little midlife crisis your going through is the most pathetic I have seen thus far. But you haven’t met this Skye Blue. So bring your little butler, bring your little blond bimbo, and whatever 1940s black ‘n’ white crap you got up that robe, because none of it is going to stop me from taking that championship from you. So I’m gonna have my chin up, my chest out, and I’m gonna shove your shoe right up your ass.” Strong words from a fired up challenger, will she be the new leading lady of AEW?
Christian Cage speaks.
Captain Charisma says, “I don’t think it’s any secret to anybody how far back my relationship with Adam Copeland goes. I think I more or less tolerated Adam. He was a hanger-on, he wanted to be like me, which is why he’s always tried to steal my spotlight wherever we’ve gone.” And that held Christian back. Edge got what he never got. He was pushed all the way to the bottom when they broke up as a tag team. But Christian willed himself to the top. he is here to be the best, anyone else is expendable. And Edge wants to take away everything Christian’s built up the last three years? Christian has nothing to prove to himself, but Edge has everything to prove to Christian.
This time, Christian is what everyone talks about. Whether it’s Dynamite, Rampage or Collision, Christian nis on the tip of everyone’s tongue. He is the Face of TNT, the Face of AEW, then, now and forever! Christian has always been better than Edge, and in Montreal, everyone will finally know. But will “The Patriarch” be the one in for a shock when things get Rated R on Wednesday?
El Hijo Del Vikingo VS Kip Sabian!
The AAA Mega Champion is coming off a big trios win last night on Rampage, but Mr. Superbad just thinks of him as the most overrated wrestler on the AEW roster. Will Kip put his money where his mouth is? Or will he be on the losing end of this Collision?
The bell rings, the two circle, and they feel things out. They tie up, Kip cording holds but Vikingo whips. Kip arm-drags and holds on, but Vikingo goes up and over! Kip just changes up cording holds, arm-drags, but then Vikingo pushes him. Kip arm-drags again and keeps the hold, wagging his finger. Then Kip CHOPS, Vikingo CHOPS back! Vikingo throws knees, goes up and out to HOTSHOT Kip! Then Vikingo springboards, but Kip slides out., Vikingo keeps moving, but he fakes Kip out! Fans fire up, Kip runs in but Vikingo dodges to HEEL KCIK! Kip goes to a corner, Vikingo whips but Kip reverses.
Viking slips out to the apron, Kip hits buckles, then Vikingo GAMANGIRIS! Vikingo goes up and around and FLYING ARM-DRAGS! Things keep moving, Vikingo CORKSCREW RANAS Kip out! Then Vikingo DIVES into a GAMANGIRI! Kip intercepts Vikingo and talks some trash. Then Kip ARABIAN PRESSES to take Vikingo down! Fans fire up and Collision goes picture in picture.
Kip drags Vikingo up, puts him in the ring, then drags him up to ROCK him with a forearm. Kip bumps Vikingo off buckles, then whips corner to corner hard! Vikingo falls back, Kip flexes, and Kip drags Vikingo to a cover, TWO! Kip drags Vikingo into a mounted armlock, but Vikingo endures. Kip BITES Vikingo’s hand! The ref misses that, but Vikingo fights to the ROPEBREAK! Kip lets go, then stands Vikingo up to ELBOW him to the corner. Kip stomps Vikingo again and again, then sits him down. Kip backs up to then run in again, CANNONBALL! Kip drags Vikingo to a cover, TWO! Vikingo is hanging in there but Kip keeps cool as Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Kip ROCKS Vikingo with forearm after forearm. Fans boo, Kip whips, but Vikingo rebounds, gets under, and DREAMCAST KICKS! Kip flops against ropes and fans rally with Vikingo. Vikingo runs in at the corner, but stops as Kip moves. Kip returns, into a scoop and torture rack! Argentine Flip KNEE STRIKE! Like an inverted GTS! Kip falls, Vikingo drags him to a drop zone and goes up the ropes from the outside. INSIDE-OUT PHOENIX SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Kip survives and he manages to smile about it. Vikingo drags Kip back to another drop zone, but Kip goes after Vikingo as he climbs!
Kip climbs up after Vikingo, fans fire up and Vikingo throws body shots. Vikingo HEADBUTTS, Kip flops to the apron. But then Kip springboards u to SUPER STEINER! Kip hurries to scoop, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Kip is stunned as Vikingo survives! Kip drags Vikingo up again, waistlocks, then torture racks. DEATHLY- NO, Vikngo flips free, dodges and SUPERMAN PUNCHES! Vikingo goes up as Kip bails out, to tightrope walk TORNILLO!!! Direct hit and the fans lose their minds! Vikingo puts Kip back in, runs corner to corner, METEORA! And then Vikingo goes right up, for the 630 SENTON!!! Cover, Vikingo wins!!
Winner: El Hijo Del Vikingo, by pinfall
The AAA Mega Champion cools off Kip’s hot take, because no one who can do what Vikingo did in this match is “overrated!” But Vikingo does show Kip a sign of respect by offering a handshake. The fans cheer to shake hands, but Kip says no! Will Kip ever get over himself? Will Vikingo earn even more gold in the New Year?
Backstage interview with Keith Lee.
Lexi is with the Limitless One, and says last time, he mentioned “him.” Just who is “him?” But then in walks Shane Taylor, because he knows who “him” is! Because Keith ain’t dumb enough to look past Shane. But last year’s match didn’t solve anything, so this year, they give the people the fight they really wanna see. Keith VS Shane, 1v1, Final Battle, so Shane can beat Keith’s ass in front of the entire world! Keith thinks on that a moment. Challenge accepted. And see #TAIGASTYLE later, too. Then in two weeks, in Garland, Texas, will that truly be the Pretty Boy Killers’ Final Battle?
Backstage interview with CJ Perry.
Lexi and CJ are outside Andrade’s office, and notes that Andrade’s first win was impressive. UH OH, here comes Miro! Miro says move, CJ says no! Miro can’t go in there! She knows he thinks things will go poorly, but when Miro chose his god over her, she has to prove herself. By Andrade winning, it will help CJ. So if Miro wants to go in there, fine, he’s a grown man. But if there is any love left for CJ, do not do this. Do not lay a hand on her client. Please? Miro says if His God was still with him, he would be in this tournament and have ripped Andrade’s spine out already! Miro then caresses CJ’s face, and says he won’t touch her client. She has his word.
Miro storms off, but what will The Redeemer do to prove himself worthy of gold in the background of the Continental Classic?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Bryan Danielson VS Eddie Kingston!
The American Dragon was the first entrant named to this tournament, but could not compete in it until now. And he doesn’t think The Mad King is ready if one loss takes away all the confidence he had going into this. Will Bryan just pour fuel on that fire? Or will Eddie be the one to earn his first points tonight?
The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans fire up as Bryan and Eddie stare down. They slowly circle and approach. They feel things out, knuckle lock, but then Eddie tests things with a kick. Bryan stays back, they reset, and Eddie guards a kick. Bryan keeps trying but Eddie pushes back. Bryan uses ropes as a defense and the fans boo. Bryan smirks as he and Eddie reset, and they test the waters again. Bryan gives kicks, Eddie walks it off, and they feel things out again. Eddie fires off hands, clinches Bryan on the ropes, and the ref counts. Eddie puts Bryan in a corner, the ref counts but Bryan turns things around.
Bryan lets off slowly, but then CHOPS! Eddie just snarls while fans “WOO~!” Eddie storms up on Bryan, they feel things out, and Eddie tries some kicks now. Bryan also kicks, neither man lands a strong shot yet. They end up in a corner, Bryan turns things around on Eddie, then he CHOPS! Eddie CHOPS Bryan down! Fans fire up as Eddie stares Bryan down again. Bryan stands, he and Eddie feel things out again, and fans are behind Eddie more than they are Bryan. The two grapple, Eddie rolls but Bryan facelocks. They go to ropes, the ref counts, and Eddie fights up. The ref gets in between but Bryan KICKS Eddie!
Bryan fires off fast hands but then so does Eddie! Bryan kicks, but then Eddie kicks the bad arm! Bryan falls back, Eddie storms up but Bryan trips Eddie! Eddie goes for knuckle locks but Eddie’s leg guard keeps him back. Bryan KICKS a leg, KICKS again, then KICKS again! Bryan KICKS Eddie in the back! Bryan sits Eddie up to CHOP! Eddie eggs him on! Bryan CHOPS again, but Eddie brings the straps down! Bryan CHOPS again! Eddie is stinging but he grits his teeth. Bryan KICKS! And KICKS! And then snapmares to cover, ONE!! Bryan keeps on Eddie with a motorcycle stretch but Eddie endures.
Fans rally, Eddie fights up, but Bryan digs his forehead into Eddie’s shoulder blades. Eddie still turns things around to have Bryan in the stretch! Bryan endures, powers up, and waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! Eddie stands up but then falls back over! Eddie goes to the apron, shakes out the stars, but Bryan runs in to BOOT him! Eddie holds onto ropes! Bryan runs up again to BOOT! Eddie still holds on, and he CHOPS! And CHOPS! Eddie swings, Bryan ducks to dropkick the legs out! Bryan then builds speed to slide, but Eddie avoids him! SAIDO to the floor! Fans fire up while both men are down, and Collision goes picture in picture!
The ref checks both men, and both men are somehow still in this. Eddie shakes out his arms as he sits up, and he drags Bryan up. Eddie CHOPS Bryan, then follows him around the way. Eddie CHOPS Bryan against railing! Eddie puts Bryan in the ring, stalks him, but Bryan bails out the other side. Eddie pursues, and CHOPS! And HEADBUTTS! Bryan staggers away, Eddie follows, and Eddie CHOPS Bryan against commentary! And again! And again! Bryan flounders, Eddie puts him in the ring, and Eddie storms up in the corner. Eddie stands Bryan up to MACHINE GUN CHOP! Bryan sits down, Eddie CHOPS him again!
Eddie digs his boots in, the ref counts, but Eddie lets off. Eddie drags Bryan up, and puts him up top for another CHOP! Eddie then climbs up after Bryan, brings him up, but Bryan resists the suplex! Bryan throws body shots, then he HEADBUTTS Eddie down! Eddie comes back to CHOP! Eddie CHOPS again, and Collision returns to single picture. Eddie CHOPS one more time, climbs up after Bryan, but Bryan again resists the suplex! Fans fire up as Bryan throws down elbows again and again! “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan HEADBUTTS again and Eddie staggers away. Bryan adjusts, MISSILE DROPKICKS, and down goes Eddie!
Eddie flounders to a corner and the fans rally up. Bryan huffs and puffs and rises up. Eddie also stands, he CHOPS Bryan! Bryan throws body shots! Eddie CHOPS! Bryan fires body shots! CHOP! Bryan KICKS and KICKS, but Eddie CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! EXPLO- TAKEDOWN! Bryan has an arm, then grabs at the crossface! Eddie resists, fights around, but Bryan still gets the LEBELL LOCK!! Fans rally for Eddie as he endures, fights around, and reaches out! Bryan rolls Eddie back, and has the LEBELL LOCK again! Eddie fights around, pushes Bryan down and he fires down forearms as fans fire up!

Bryan aims again, to KICK! Eddie shoves Bryan, so Bryan KICKS again! Eddie CLUBS Bryan, Bryan KICKS, KICKS and KICKS! We get the five minute warning as Eddie throws hands! Bryan has the leg again, BRIDGING BACK SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!! Eddie escapes but Bryan says time to kick his head in!! DRAGON STOMPS!! “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan runs out of gas but somehow Eddie is still in this!
Bryan and Eddie crawl to each other, Eddie FLIPS BRYAN OFF! “This is Awesome!” as Eddie rises. Bryan aims from a corner, BUSAIKU KNEE!!! Cover, BRYAN WINS!!
Winner: Bryan Danielson, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Eddie earns 0)
THIS is the fight Bryan wanted from Eddie! But in the end, Bryan is the one to win the fight! Will Bryan keep on going through his next four fights? Eddie is technically still ROH World & NJPW Strong Openweight Champion, but with an 0-2 start, has he all but lost them both?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, with awesome Continental Classic matches, but also matches they kayfabe’d as “standby” to try and kayfabe the tournament matches not going closer to their 20 minute time limits. A weird move to me but it’s not like we haven’t seen such a move by American televised pro-wrestling before. And surprisingly great stuff out of Vikingo VS Kip, but that was partly the point. Kip calls Vikingo overrated, then gets beat by Vikingo to show how legit Vikingo is, and there could even be a rivalry in the making or something. Kip still has Butcher & Blade to call on, that trio could take on Vikingo, Komander & Penta at some point.
Good match from Abadon and Kiera, with a really good win for Abadon. Julia showing up to basically call Abadon out was an interesting move but I also like it. Different kinds of spooky wrestlers are going to collide, this will be a good program for them both. And very good promos from both Storm and Skye to hype up their title match this Wednesday. Renee definitely looked like she was struggling to not break during Storm’s part, that’s how good Storm is. And I would think Storm retains because she’ll have Luther and Mariah May ringside. And good promo from Willow and Mercedes to set up their match, that’ll be really good stuff.
Good promo from Willie Mack to call out Wardlow but I would think Wardlow beats him to continue his dominance. Good promo from Christian to add some final hype onto the TNT Championship match. And good promo from Ethan Page to not just plug his time in ROH, but also to call out Kenny Omega. Ethan VS Omega is going to be really good, but that probably ends up being Omega’s win to build momentum going into the next round against Don Callis Family. But it also just makes me think Tony Khan still doesn’t get how ROH is supposed to matter. Ethan is in the middle of stuff with Tony Nese and he’s dividing his attention by wanting to be King of Canadian Wrestlers? What?
But thankfully, we did get a promo from Keith Lee and Shane Taylor to finally set up that match. And I do appreciate that it will be part of Final Battle since that’s where this feud started. Anything to make up for poor ticket sales and no ROH World Championship. Or even tag team championship at this point, right? The Kingdom called out MJF but MJF hasn’t taken the time to respond, he has The Devil of AEW to worry about. Good promo from Joe with Roddy & The Kingdom before The Kingdom beat The Iron Savages. Roddy was extra dramatic in his floundering out of the ring this time, can’t wait to see whether he and The Kingdom are still in on the whole Devil goon squad stuff.
Very good tag match from House of Black VS Daniels & Sydal but of course the House won. And good promo with FTR that then turned into a beatdown. That tag match is definitely going to be big for like Winter is Coming. And then, the Continental Classic. Great opening match from Claudio VS Brody, with a great win for Brody to lead the way in this block. And just as I expected, while we got awesome showings in the other matches, Garcia and Eddie each lost to Andrade and Bryan. Good promo for Miro wanting after Andrade but showing mercy for CJ’s sake. That feud probably waits until after the tournament, assuming Andrade isn’t a finalist. Worlds End would be a good PPV for Miro VS Andrade to happen as part of this ongoing story.
I also appreciated Eddie saying he doesn’t want to do cold open promos when he has a big match to get ready for. Doing coverage like I do, I don’t want to fall behind on the broadcast already trying to keep up with what people are saying at the very start like that. Even Claudio did a short promo because he also just wants to have his match, so they really should just have the matches and save promos for later in the night.
My Score: 8.8/10
