PLAY BY PLAY
Rhea Ripley & Dominik Mysterio speak.
It was last night after Raw when Mami tells Dragon Lee, “My Latino Heat can’t wait to come to NXT and put you in your place, and show everyone that not only is he the greatest, but he is the hottest NXT North American Champion ever.” Dirty Dom says it’ll be hilarious beating Dragon in front of his deadbeat dad. They get sick just thinking about Rey, and then head out.
Dragon Lee and Rey Mysterio arrive together, in style.
The car pulls up, and Dragon tells Rey he is excited and honored to have Rey in his corner. He has no idea how much this means to Dragon. Rey says please, no need to thank him. Rey gets the best seat in the house as Dragon, the future of lucha libre, becomes champion. And on top of that, Dragon will humble Dom. Of course! Vamos!

Speaking of that North American Championship, The Undeniable Truth and the Beacon both want their shot, whether or not it is Dom still holding onto the title. Will Axiom also show Ali a thing about respect? Or will Ali finally have his time in the spotlight?

Security and producers get Joe Gacy, Jagger Reed & Rip Fowler to stop, but they’ve already laid waste to Ikemen Jiro, Quincy Elliot, and all the others who were in their yellow masks for last week’s interrogation gone awry! Ava Raine tells them this is what they get, and then Gacy grabs the camera to tell the Creed Brothers, “Tonight, we WILL find you! Even if we have to turn NXTÂ upside-down.” The Dyad and the still loyal followers continue the rampage, will Julius & Brutus appear in order to stop it?
Kelani Jordan w/ Dana Brooke VS Blair Davenport!
The young up and comer listened to her mentor’s advice, and she wants to prove she has that edge. She is calling out one of the most feared women in NXT today in Blair Davenport! You may underestimate her now, but that’s premature, because you haven’t seen everything she can do! Will she unleash her full arsenal on the Ichiban Gaijin? Or will this be Blair’s rebound after the Great American Bash?

Backstage interview with Von Wagner & Robert Stone.
McKenzie Mitchell asks them about what Bron Breakker had to say last week. How is that going to affect Von going into their match tonight? Von takes a moment to think, and Stone speaks up. It’s sticks and stones, McKenzie. Do you really think that Von is affected by trash talk? Von says it’s fine, no need to play it cool. People have talked garbage about Von his whole life, and it does cut deep. But we’re talking “Badass” Bron Breakker here. And eventually, even a badass like Bron gets put in his place. Tonight, Von’s got a place for him!
Von tells “Bronny Boy” that he has a special reservation: table for one! Bron can run his mouth all he wants, but tonight, his ass gets TABLED! It is a battle of second generation superstars, who does their family proudest here tonight?
(Noam Dar’s) NXT Heritage Cup Championship: Noam Dar w/ The Meta Four VS Tyler Bate!
While there is still some question as to who is the real Heritage Cup Champion, the Scottish Supernova has one and the Big Strong Boi wants it. Will Dar be able to defend this cup better than Oro did the original one? Or will Bate put Dar back in that catatonic state from a few weeks ago?

Bate is cool while Dar sputters back to life. Dar sips water and wipes the sweat from his brow, and round three begins. The two circle, Dar shoots in but Bate blocks and waistlocks. Dar fights up, backs Bate into a corner, and the ref counts, Dar throws a cheap shot as he lets off! Dar throws another but Bate dodges to UPPERCUT!

The Meta Four talks a lot of trash while Dar has the ref check his leg. Dar seems okay so he rolls out to fetch Bate. Dar SMACKS Bate off the apron, pushes him back in, and then covers, TWO!

Dar’s cup? NAH! Bate’s cup! All of Meta Four is shocked, what excuse will they come up with now as to why Dar should still be champion?
Hank Walker & Tank Ledger talk backstage.
Tank says he’s got this. He is fired up, but ask why. Why? Cuz he has a team name for them now! Yeah? Yes, and it perfectly describes their style as a team. Lay it on us, then! SMASH MOUTH! Love it! But wait, isn’t that taken? But then The Schism storm over and asks them where the Creeds are! What? They’re Team Smash Mouth by the way- CREEDS! WHERE!? THINK!! Okay, okay, but they haven’t seen them since that Losers Leave match. Well, that and the hilarious green screen gag. Hank points out to Tank they’re surrounded. And then they get jumped! The Schism beats down Hank ‘n’ Tank!
Gacy says move along and keep looking. Ava is sure the Creeds are here somewhere. Gacy gives Tank a good kick of his own, but is this just a wild goose chase?
Backstage interview with Ilja Dragunov.
McKenzie is with the Mad Dragon, and notes he’s issued a rather harsh warning to Trick Williams last week. Has Dragunov had a chance to cool down? Dragunov says he is going to the ring and expects Trick to meet him there. There will be no predictions for what happens next, but Dragunov will promise that Trick will feel pain. The Czar is marching to gorilla position, will there be no stopping what’s coming?
Carmelo Hayes is pacing.
He hopes Trick isn’t that stupid as to meet Dragunov. But then Dijak storms in. And he says to forget what is about to happen to Melo’s boy out there. Did Melo see what Dijak did to Eddy Thorpe? Man, Melo has so much going on, he ain’t watching Dijak. Dijak says he should, because his mettle is unquestioned, and he has one man left to prove it to, and that’s Melo, for the title. Yeah, Dijak and everybody else. But then Wes Lee steps in, and Melo tells him to already get outta here. No, Wes is here, they need to talk. Dijak shouts at Wes, and Wes asks, ‘Yes?” Dijak says Wes isn’t in the title picture anymore.
Oh, really? Yeah, none of them. Wow, Dijak’s one to talk. Is he sure he wants to go there? Dijak goes wherever he wants, whenever he wants. Don’t think he forgot about Wes. Uh, seems he has. But Wes will gladly remind Dijak right here in front of the champ. We’ll see. Especially since Melo left, And then Dijak fires off on Wes! And RAMS him into a wall! And then another wall! And then again! “How’s that for a reminder?!” Dijak storms off, will we see another battle of #HardJustice and #WesSide?
Ilja Dragunov goes to the ring!
As he said, Dragunov calls out Trick! It is time to take responsibility for actions, and don’t you dare keep Dragunov waiting! Trick makes his entrance and fans fire up! Trick has the mic to tell Dragunov, “No need to wait, Dragunov, let’s get right to business. Won’t be no hand holding or kumbaya singing tonight.” Trick can see in Dragunov’s eyes that he ain’t backing down. Well Trick ain’t backing down, neither! Trick says before that headbutt gets thrown around, he wants to holler at Dragunov. Is Trick serious? Because after Trick did at the Great American Bash, Trick has no right in making demands!
And Dragunov swears, Trick takes one more step, remember what happened last time? Trick says hold on, that got ugly for the both of them. Trick admits, he lost control, called Dragunov out, and then showed the world what all this muscle is about. Trick let the anger get the best of him, and that is when Dragunov persevered. Now Trick sees why he is the Mad Dragon. Props to Dragunov, he’s a bad man. But that’s why Trick has a proposal. The only thing Dragunov is here for is retribution! Dragunov knows that Trick knows that he is the only reason Dragunov is NOT NXT Champion right now.
Trick says Dragunov can’t blame him for not having Melo’s title around his waist. What was that he talked about a few weeks ago? Collateral damage happens in a fight? And by the way, at the Bash, Trick didn’t hit Dragunov with the title! Dragunov ran into the title himself. And he best Dragunov wants to hit him, whoop his ass even. Then here’s the opporutnity. Dragunov can be the fire spitting dragon, but in a match! Then Trick can prove to the world what he’s capable of! A match where he can shut down all the whispers, and let everyone know Trick Willy ain’t a sidekick. A match where Trick can go through hell or high water against one of the best and prove that Trick is also one of the best!
Dragunov wants Trick to understand what he is tasking for. Look in Dragunov’s eyes. “There are times when these eyes burn red. But not because of the suffering I’m fighting through, no. They burn red when I get really angry. And the wrath is consuming me! Because it doesn’t matter how hard I try to fulfill my destiny, because every time, something happens! Someone happens! And this time, Trick Willy happened! But this time, nothing will stop me from destroying every single thing that is holding me back. So Trick, think about what you’re asking for? Because I WILL BREAK YOU!!” Fans are torn as Trick takes a moment to think.
Trick tells Dragunov that he better bring his A Game, cuz Trick damn sure bringing his. Dragunov beat Gunther, Breakker, and everyone but HIM. That makes him one of one. But that is why in two weeks, NXT Heatwave, Trick proves he is, too. Dragunov admires the courage. And he will grant this unusual request. So see you in two weeks, where Trick’s career… DIES. A collision is coming and it will be explosive! Who will be standing when the smoke clears?
Backstage interview with Charlie Dempsey & Drew Gulak.
McKenzie says they were set to face Hank & Tank but they got assaulted and now cannot compete. Gulak says he saw the medical report, and it said those two are SOFT. Bumps, bruises, getting tossed around, and now they have to call in the Wambulance? Dempsey says that is pathetic. Everyone in the locker room claims to be tough when they’re healthy. But as soon as they have to strap up and fight at anything less than ideal conditions, that is when excuses fly in. Damon Kemp then walks in and tells them that he said if it’s toughness they’re looking for, then look no further. Gulak wants Kemp to understand, they get he’s tough. But there’s one of him and two of them.
Well if these boys are looking for a fight… Briggs & Jensen step in! Gulak said everyone here is soft, but ain’t thing soft here. Nobody tougher than Briggs & Jensen. Gulak & Dempsey say okay, see you tonight. Kemp is annoyed that he was snubbed, but will Gulak & Dempsey get more than they bargained for with the good ol’ boys back in action?
Backstage interview with Bron Breakker.
He’s moments away from his match with Von, what is his response to Von earlier tonight? What’d he say? Well, that he’d put Bron through a table. Bron chuckles and says, “Gimme a break.” Will Bron keep Von from setting the table? Or will Bron end up the one broken?
Rey Mysterio talks with Roxanne Perez backstage.
Rey says he saw a whole new side to Roxie at the Bash. That was a statement victory. Roxie says that coming from Rey means so much to her. She knows what’s next, right? She definitely does. Then go get it! Hell yeah! Rey excuses himself, and he walks over to Thea Hail. Thea is still sulking, but then she’s star struck seeing Rey! She’s all nervous as she introduces herself and he tells her to breathe. Just wanted to say that he knows what it feels to be the Ultimate Underdog. And he knows she’s been struggling. But he truly sees the heart she displays inside that ring every match. She will be champion one day, just be patient with yourself, and believe in yourself.
Thea says thank you so much. Can she ask a question, though? Sure. Well, she knows Rey and Dom don’t get along right now, but he still loves Dom, right? Well… Rey doesn’t like who Dom is right now, as he’s made some really bad choices and is hanging with the wrong crowd. But it is his son. He will always love Dom. Rey just hopes that one day, Dom will understand and realize who his real family is. Thea understands and thanks Rey again. Rey says okay, good, now go kick some ass. Yeah! Thank you so much, Rey! Rey heads out, and both Duke & Andre Chase step in. Chase and Duke say that’s so great that she met Rey! Yeah…
Thea says unlike Chase, Rey wouldn’t have thrown in the towel! Thea storms off, is she ever going to forgive Chase for what he did?
Bron Breakker VS Von Wagner w/ Robert Stone!
It’s a match-up of two second generation badass superstars, but only one can be THE badass! Will Bron or Von crush the other to be the alpha male of NXT?
The bell rings, the two tie up, and Bron knees low! Von goes to a corner, Bron RAMS into him again and again! But Von turns it around to RAM into Bron again and again! Von CLUBS away on Bron, sits him down, then lets off. Stone is all fired up for Von as he whips Bron corner to corner. Bron rebounds to run Von over! Since when has someone done that to Von?! Bron suplexes, Von slips out and shoves to run Bron over! Well, same thing about that! Von runs Bron over again, kicks low, and BUTTERFLY SUPLEXES! Bron flounders out of the ring and fans fire up for “TABLES! TABLES!”
Bron is by the desk, Von storms out after him. Von decides to clear the table! But Bron RAMS Von into the apron! Bron pushes Von into the ring, but Von DECKS Bron! Von ROCKS Bron with a right, CLUBS him, then whips him. Bron ducks ‘n’ dodges and LARIATS! Fans bark and others boo, but Bron drags Von around to then dribble him off the mat! The ref reprimands, Bron lets off, and Von goes to a corner. Bron digs his knee in, the ref counts, and Bron lets off. Bron goes side to side to HIP ATTACK Von! Von flounders and Bron covers, TWO! Bron grins, he might be having a bit of fun now.
Bron drags Von up, Von shoves him and ROCKS him with haymakers! Bron wobbles to ropes, Von runs in but his boot gets caught! Bron KICKS the leg, then GERMAN SUPLEX! Von tumbles, Bron drags him back up to standard suplex high and hard! Bron kips up, then sets up, STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Bron does push-ups to show off and fans boo. Bron talks trash, slaps Von around, “You’re not on my level!” Stone coaches Von up and Von ROCKS Bron! And again! Bron KNEES low, brings Von around, but Von wrenches out to short arm LARIAT! Bron staggers, rebounds, but Von dodges, DOUBLE LARIATS collide!
Fans rally while both men are down. Stone coaches Von and Von pounds the mat. Von and Bron storm up, Bron swings but Von counter punches! And again! Von fires off more hands, and short arm LARIATS! And again! Bron swings, but Von blocks the shot! And then from the other side! Von HEADBUTTS and HEADBUTTS and HEADBUTTS Bron down! Fans fire up with Von and he runs in at the corner, to SPLASH! Von keeps going, he BOOTS Bron down! Fans chant “We Want Tables!” but Von stalks Bron. Bron staggers up, Von picks him up and fireman’s carries! But Bron holds ropes!
Bron lets go, gets moving, and he SPEARS Von down!! Cover, Bron wins!
Winner: Bron Breakker, by pinfall
Well, no tables for Bron tonight, but then Bron grabs Stone?! Bron drags Stone into the ring! Fans boo as Bron lifts Stone, but Von gets him down! Von KNEES Bron out of the ring! Von storms out after Bron and things may still go as Von planned! Booker and Vic get outta the way, POWERBOMB through the table!! Bron won the match but Von wins the fight, will these two badasses just go another round?
Eddy Thorpe speaks.
The Alpha Wolf is back in nature, and he says when he needs grounding, he isolates himself. Here, his thoughts are most clear, and he listens to his life force. It is his power given to him by the Great Spirit so that he may lead his people down the right path. But today, he is furious! Dijak got him with his boot, twice. Eddy was defeated with an injured arm. But when he falls short, it is no one’s fault but his own. Before their rematch, Eddy must take responsibility to refocus and readjust. He thinks back to his ancestors and the battles they fought to survive. Crazy Horse comes to mind as Eddy thinks of the battle cry, Hoka Hey, “Move forward without fear.”
Dijak says he is the law of the ring, but Eddy knows he must do just that: hoka hey.
Rhea and Dom talk backstage.
She knows that Rey being here further proves Dom is the one making the Mysterio name relevant. But don’t let Rey being here distract Dom from what they want. Dom says, “Yes, Mami. We want the world.” That they do. And they will take it. Lyra Valkyria walks in but then feels awkward. Sorry, did she interrupt something? Rhea says yes. But what does she want? Well, Lyra did what Rhea wanted, and she beat Jacy Jayne. Yeah, she did, Rhea saw! No, no, she did exactly what Rhea wanted. Now she knows what Rhea is doing. She manipulates people! Uses them! And she looks at Dom when she says that, too!
Rhea does it at every chance she gets, to where she even helped Dom take the North American title. She has no idea what she’s talking about. Dom doesn’t need Rhea’s help, he’s already gonna go down as the greatest NXT North American Champion ever! Lyra says if Rhea really believes that, practice what you preach. Or will Mami have to rescue Dom-Dom again? Lyra storms off and Dom says only he calls her Mami! Rhea is annoyed, too, but will they do what Lyra says?
Tony D’Angelo & Channing Lorenzo have a photoshoot.
The NEW NXT Tag Team Champions are finally getting their pictures taken, and then The Schism storms in! They are still looking for information on the Creed Brothers’ whereabouts, and if anyone knows, it’d be the D’Angelos. Spill! Stacks says finally, something they can all agree on. Then where are they? Who? The Creeds. They don’t know nothing. But they just said they know! Yeah, like Tiffany Stratton could be starring in Barbie 2. And Wes Lee and Dragon Lee are distant cousins. And that before joining the Meta Four, Oro Mensah was rejected by Chase U. Get a load of this: Tyler Bate has no clue where he is, because he is so st-
STOP! Where are the Creeds!? Whoa, why’re they yelling? Are they the cops? If Tony & Stacks aren’t gonna talk, then maybe The Schism and their friends will help jog their memories! But then Tony brings out the crowbar! Jagger has everyone stand down. Tony & Stacks also have something else The Dyad is interested in: the tag titles. Well, you have better luck finding the Creeds! Gacy has the Dyad to stay on task. Creeds first, then titles later. The Schism leaves, but will this manhunt ever end?

NXT returns as Gulak & Dempsey make their entrance, with Myles Borne in tow. Myles holds the ropes open for his coaches, and then the teams sort out. Jensen starts with Gulak and they circle. Fans rally up, the two tie up, break, then tie up again. They go around. Jensen puts Gulak in a corner but Gulak turns it around. Gulak lets off, but then CHOPS! And CHOPS!

Dana regroups with Kelani backstage.
And still holding onto that leather belt, too… Dana again asks Kelani what was that out there, and she knows Kelani was trying, but Dana wanted to see that killer instinct! Kelani seemed so nervous! She needs to understand that this business will eat you alive! It did that to Dana. These people out there are making fun of you, joking about you, ridiculing you, just like Dana! Dana doesn’t want that for Kelani! Kelani knows that, but that was her third match. She isn’t even sure what that “killer instinct” looks like yet. She’s trying to find it. Dana calms down, and says she gets it. She just wants what is best for Kelani, but she can’t want it more than Kelani does.
So Dana is gonna go to the ring, and she will show Kelani what it should look like as Dana faces Blair. Kelani says okay, that’s fine. Dana heads out, is Kelani worried her mentor is pushing too hard?
Ivy Nile VS Kiana James!
The Diamond Pitbull may be without the Creeds, but she is still going to fight for her own success! Will this diamond crush the competition until she finally has gold? Or will the Calculator prove her brain is stronger than Ivy’s brawn?
The moment she’s in the ring, Kiana throws her bag at Ivy! And then BOOTS her down! The bell rings, fans boo as Kiana wrenches and YANKS Ivy’s arm, then hammerlocks to RAM her into buckles!

Kiana hammerlocks again, but Ivy spins to send Kiana into buckles! Roll up, TWO! Kiana trips Ivy, stomps Ivy around, but The Schism makes their way out!

The yellow masks start flooding ringside as Kiana SLAMS Ivy’s arm down! The Schism has surrounded the ring as Kiana covers, TWO! Kiana clamps onto the arm as The Schism drums the apron. Kiana is a little creeped out but she keeps on Ivy. Ivy endures, the drumming picks up speed, and Ivy fireman’s carries Kiana! Kiana slips off, and she shoves Ivy at a corner. Ivy ELBOWS Kiana away! Ivy KICKS, KICKS and ROUNDHOUSES! The drumming gets faster as Ivy ducks ‘n ‘dodges and rallies on Kiana with shoulders! And then a RANA! Fans fire up for Ivy as she aims from a corner. Ivy runs in to DROPKICK Kiana!
Ivy hurries back in but Kiana BOOTS her! Kiana shoves, and SPINEBUSTERS! Cover, TWO! But into a FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Ivy endures, the drumming stops but for just a moment. Ivy fights up, Kiana tries to keep her down, but Ivy rolls her up! ONE! Ivy scoops to POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Ivy drags Kiana back up, DIAMOND DRAGON!! Kiana flails, the Schism swipes at Ivy! Ivy lets go, and Kiana WRINGS Ivy’s arm! Kiana drags Ivy up, DEALBREAKER! Cover, Kiana wins!
Winner: Kiana James, by pinfall
The Schism lets Kiana leave peacefully, she isn’t why they’re here. Will Kiana continue to build momentum and stick it to Gigi Dolin all at the same time?
As for Ivy, The Schism now gets in the ring and drags her up! Gacy says this is a message for the Creeds! Ava asks Ivy where the Creeds are, but here come Tony & Stacks! They start cracking yellow masks with crowbars! Fans fire up as The Schism is in retreat! Their obsession with The Creeds aside, will The Schism have a fight on their hands with The Family?
Angel Garza sulks at home.
And then someone texts him on the phone. He picks it up and sees it is Humberto Carrillo. Carrillo is saying he’s sorry for before, and “things have to change.” Angel is a little surprised, but texts back, “I know. But you didn’t need to leave me like that.” Humberto says Grandpa expected more from them. And look at them now! They’re a joke! Angel shakes his head, and asks why Humberto always has to bring Grandpa up. Humberto says it is cuz they’d be nothing without him. He gave them their names, he trained them, and helped them every step of the way. Angel sighs. He knows that. Grandpa watched them as kids, and wanted the best for them.
Humberto brings up that Grandpa was the one who started it all. He made sure their family did things the right way as he brought them into the business. And they are embarrassing him. Angel sighs again. They really should be honoring him. Humberto agrees there. What would he think of them now? They each look at their copy of Grandpa’s picture. Angel sheds a tear as he says that surely, Grandpa is watching over them. Both men try to sleep tonight, how will they redeem themselves in their grandfather’s eyes?
Bate shines up his Heritage Cup.
Noam Dar sulks over and says, “Hello, hello, hello.” Lash says excuse you, Tyler. Her boy Noam is gonna need that back. Oh, sorry, Bate won fair and square, so no. Oro says that wasn’t fair and square! Bate asks how Oro’s opinion is relevant. The ref didn’t seem to mind what was going on, so that is that. Jakara tells “Mr. Bate” that he needs to understand, Dar needs the cup back. It is his emotional support championship! Well Bate can’t do anything about the rules! He can’t just give this back. Oro says they are done asking nicely, give the cup back! But then Nathan Frazer and his cup walk in, asking about all this shouting.
Bate looks at Frazer and asks if he’s seeing double. Oh no… They’re the Spider-Man meme… Oro says no one invited Frazer and his “second rate” cup! Tyler, c’mon, give the cup back. Frazer says no, that’s not happening. Unless… Dar states verbally that his cup is in fact NOT LEGITIMATE. Dar says no, HIS cup is the real cup, HE is the best at this, he deserves it back! PLEASE! Okay, hold on, what about this? Tyler will graciously give Dar back Dar’s cup, AND Frazer will even give Dar a shot at the LEGITIMATE Cup at Heatwave… if Dar admits his Cup is a joke. Dar admits to NOTHING. But technically, Frazer’s cup is the original cup that Oro lost but Frazer never beat Dar for.
Oro asks what the heck, but Dar says c’mon, he’s just saying it so his heart isn’t broken again! Jakara has them calm down, and Frazer says that is as good as they will get. Tyler hands Dar the second cup back, and then Frazer says, “You massive fraud… At Heatwave, we settle this thing once and for all.” Dar says we’ll see who the real champion is, then leaves with Meta Four. Bate looks at Frazer, and Frazer says he knows: he owes Bate. Heatwave just got a lot hotter, who will be the TRUE Heritage Cup Champion? And will Bate still get his shot at them after?
Backstage interview with Tiffany Stratton.
McKenzie congratulates the NXT Women’s Champion on her win at the Great American Bash over Thea Hail. But what is next for her? That is actually a great question. TBH, she has a lot on her mind, such as this Saturday, she went on a shopping spree and like, totally splurged. She deserves it! And now she has a live event appearance this weekend, so she bought this pink body suit, cuz pink is like so in right now. It’s like so… Tiff! It’s so Barbie! And then she tried on this blue dress and she thought she looked so hot in it! Major dilemma, right? What kind of shoes would go with it? And then this white skirt was just screaming, “Buy me! Buy me!”
Tiffy sighs, and says no matter what she ends up wearing, she’ll make sure to take tons of pics in it. Okay, that wasn’t what McKenzie was getting at. No, you’re right. She should wear pink. Just look at her! It is so Tiff-Tiff! Thanks so much, Kenz, this was so helpful. No, she meant who her next opponent is. Oh. Tiff hasn’t thought that far. Actually, how about no one? Tootles!
NXT Media catches up with Trick Williams.
They say that he has his match with Dragunov for Heatwave set, but is it really smart to keep poking the Dragon? Trick says check the weather, it ain’t the Florida humidity. Trick is just getting warmed up. But then Wes pulls up and tells him to tell Melo that when Wes finishes with Dijak, he’s coming for that title. Tell him yourself! So angry, Wes. Trick ain’t a messenger. But then Kemp, Dempsey & Gulak walk out and say it’s the sidekick who finally grew a pair. Grew a pair? Kemp, you look like you ate a pair o’ burgers, you chunky ass. C’mon, Trick, that’s mean, picking on someone’s physical attributes.
Gulak says there is no training camp on Earth to help Trick beat Dragunov. As much as these three would like to help, it just isn’t in the cards. Like he needs help from Willy Wonka & The Oompa Loompas! Trick has something special for them next week. Oh, okay then. Myles finally shows up again and Gulak says he’s late. Will Trick shock everyone as he rope-a-dopes these dopes?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
After the confrontations, both verbal and physical, Tony & Stacks will defend their NXT Tag Team Championships against The Dyad! Will Rip & Jagger check off one goal and then focus on the other? And speaking of gold, Wes and Dijak battle it out in a #1 Contender’s match! The winner will face Melo at Heatwave!
NXT North American Championship: Dominik Mysterio w/ Rhea Ripley VS Dragon Lee w/ Rey Mysterio!
The Prodigal Son has done everything in his power to not make his father proud, but you can’t say he isn’t carving his own path in the WWE. Well, maybe you can, since Mami and the rest of Judgment Day has been helping Dom get this far. But will Dirty Dom prove he’s a grown man and do this all on his own? Or will he fail, even with Rhea ringside?
Rey makes his entrance first and gets the mic to address the NXT Universe. “Let me introduce to you the future North American Champion, DRAGON LEE!” Fans fire up as the Wonder Boy makes his entrance now. Then fans boo as Dom & Rhea make their entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly the greatest young luchador today!
The bell rings, fans rally for Dragon as he and Dom circle. They tie up, go around, and they end up in a corner. Dragon lets off quickly, Dom comes back and they tie up again. They go up, down, around, and back to a corner. Dom lets off, but then CHOPS! Then Dom runs away to another corner! Dom cheap shots Dragon, headlocks, but Dragon powers out. Things speed up, Dragon hurdles but Dom leaps over. They go again, Dragon ducks ‘n’ dodges and RANAS! Dom ends up in a corner, Dragon runs in to JUMP KICK, leg sweep, and COMBINACION DRAGON! Fans fire up and Dragon DROPKICKS Dom out of the ring!
Rey and Dom lock eyes, but then Rhea steps up. Rhea says hi, long time no see. But Dragon WRECKS Dom behind her back! Rhea is upset, and tells Dragon to stay back as NXT goes picture in picture.
Rey coaches Dragon, Dragon stomps Dom and then puts Dom in the ring. Dom wants mercy but Dragon throws hands! Dragon throws more shots on Dom, CLUBS him to a corner, then CHOPS him! Dragon snapmares Dom and wraps on a chinlock. Dom endures, fans cheer for Dragon, but Dom fights up. They end up on ropes, Dragon lets off, to CHOP! Payback for earlier! Dragon then whips, Dom reverses, but Dragon holds ropes to avoid the dropkick! Then he SHOTGUNS Dom down! Cover, TWO! Rhea is worried but Dragon drags Dom around to a motorcycle stretch. Dom endures the knee in his back and his arms being pulled back.
Dragon drags Dom around, brings him up, and puts him against ropes again. Dragon fires forearms, whips Dom, but Dom slides out! Dom eggs Dragon on, leads him on a cat ‘n’ mouse game, then stomps away as soon as Dragon’s in the ring! Dom stomps and stomps but the ref counts. Dom lets off, to springboard stomp a la Finn! Dom lets off to soak up the heat and Rhea smiles as she lounges on the apron. Dragon goes to a corner, Dom is on him and CHOPS! Dom ROCKS Dragon with a right hand, then smothers him. Dom says up yours and knees low! Dom whips corner to corner hard and Dragon bounces off buckles!
Dom storms up on Dragon, drags him up, and then hangs him out to dry! Dragon flops down, Dom covers, TWO! Dom keeps on Dragon with a chinlock. Dom grinds Dragon down, Dragon endures, and NXT returns to single picture. Fans rally as Dragon reaches out. Rey coaches Dragon but Dom sits him up. Dragon fights up, throws body shots, but Dom CLUBS him down! Dom whips, Dragon reverses and runs in, but Dom slips out to then HOTSHOT Dragon down! Dom gives some Latino Heat, to slingshot SENTON! Cover, TWO! Rey and the fans cheer but Rhea is upset. Dom throws his tassels at Rey!
Dom drags Dragon up, and DROPKICKS him back down! Cover, TWO! Fans rally, Dom clamps on a chinlock but Dragon endures. Dragon fights up, pries the hold open and throws elbows. Dom knees and CLUBS Dragon, to then snap suplex! Uno Amigo! Fans boo but Dom hits the Dos Amigos! And then THREE AMIGOS! Cradle cover, TWO!! Dragon escapes and Dom is frustrated. Fans chant “YOU’RE NOT EDDIE!” but Dom drags Dragon up. Dom pulls on the mask to throw rabbit punches and crossface forearms! Fans boo as Dom rains down fists! Dom lets off to soak up the heat, then he sits Dragon up again.
Dom talks trash as he tries to untie the mask! Fans boo, but Rhea is loving this! Dragon fights up to break free and power up! Dragon fires forearms in return! Dragon whips, and CLOBBERS, and rallies on Dom! Dragon whips, Dom reverses but Dragon pops him up to HEEL KICK! DRAGON SCREW to the leg! Dom staggers around, and Dragon clotheslines him up and out! Rhea is freaking out as Dragon builds speed! Dragon DIVES to take Dom out to the desk! Fans fire up for “NXT! NXT!” and Dragon puts Dom back in! Dragon runs to KNEE Dom down! Cover, TWO!!

Winner: Dominik Mysterio, by pinfall (still NXT North American Champion)
Mami helps Dom after all! Well, Lyra may have been proven right tonight, but Dom doesn’t care so long as he has the gold. Rey tells Dom that he doesn’t deserve that title, but Rhea steps up to wag her finger at Rey. She says DOM is the better Mysterio! Then she pokes her fingers at Rey! But then LYRA appears! She turns Rhea around, and ROCKS her! Dragon SUPERKICKS Dom! Lyra HEEL KICKS Rhea!! The Morrigan stands tall with Dragon and Rey, will Judgment Day soon have enemies on every night of the week?
My Thoughts:
A great NXT, and glad to see Heatwave is returning as another Summer special. As such, great stuff set up for that episode. Great promos from Rhea, Dom, Dragon and Rey to open the show, and great stuff throughout the night from them. Rey talking to Roxie and Thea and encouraging them both was great, especially with how Thea went right from starstruck with Rey to just over it with Andre Chase. And great little bit from Lyra interrupting Rhea & Dom to then confront how Rhea just uses people. We got a great main event for the North American Championship, but of course Rhea helps Dom cheat to win. We might even get a mixed tag match of Rhea & Dom VS Lyra & Dragon/Rey before Dom’s reign is over.
Speaking of, Mustafa Ali VS Axiom was a great unofficial #1 contender’s match to kick off the action. Ali is pushing that line going into Heel territory, but then maybe his Heelish tactics will be what counters the Judgment Day’s own tactics. All I know is, I hope Ali takes that title at all, he has more than put in the work to finally have a singles title. And then everything we got in the Heritage Cup story was great. For one, just an awesome Heritage Cup match between Dar and Bate for Dar’s “emotional support championship,” and I was pleasantly surprised Bate won. And then I love that Bate and Frazer were self-aware to bring up the Spider-Man meme.
Bate gives up the cup that wasn’t legitimate anyway because he’s totally facing Frazer should Frazer win. And the Undisputed Heritage Cup Champion match is gonna be a show stealer for Heatwave, and that’s saying something given what else we’re getting. Trick and Dragunov had a great promo to set up their match, and with that comes some intertwining with Melo’s story. Wes and Dijak have a good promo together, and Dijak beating Wes up was a natural move for a Heel. Wes VS Dijak is going to be a great #1 contender’s match, and it probably could go either way, as both men could have a great match with Melo. But given this is just for Heatwave, it should be Dijak. Dijak will be Melo’s literally biggest challenge, and Melo will get a great win from it.
Pretty good stuff out of Dana and Kelani with Blair. Kelani really was showing some great acrobatic and technical stuff but those fans sure didn’t care for the first half of the match. And Dana’s new “edge” feels more like frustrations boiling up and she’s gonna go Heel at some point. Kelani may have to face her own mentor at some point… Good promos from Von and Bron before their match, and really good match at that. Bron winning was expected, but I liked that Von stood tall. I think Stone got more pumped up from that than Von did. And while Von’s catchphrase of “You’re gonna get tabled” isn’t the cleverest, it is direct and self-explanatory. As such, I hope we get a Tables match from them as the blowoff, and that should be Von’s to win so Bron can, I dunno, finally go to RawDown?
Really good promo from Eddy Thorpe, NXT is doing a great job of helping him call upon his Native American heritage as part of his character. And speaking of which, really good promo vignette from Angel & Humberto. Leave it to NXT to give these two some much needed character development. Them bringing up their grandfather, Humberto Garza, was a story beat that was only ever hit upon by commentary and even then, sparingly. But I can’t wait to see what we get from these two. We all know they’re great in the ring and that they nail promos, so now instead of comedy Heels who get beat, we might get great Faces who win gold.
And we also got a great through-story from The Schism all night. Them taking out “Smash Mouth” Hank ‘n’ Tank then gave us a good match out of Dempsey & Gulak VS Briggs & Jensen. Kemp not officially being part of the team until he helped them win here seemed an odd move, but whatever, now we have an odd quartet because Myles is thrown into this. Feels like Myles might end up betraying the team so that things are even between Not Quite Catchpoint and I guess in this case, Briggs & Jensen? And then Schism getting up on Tony D’s business, as well as Ivy’s, good stuff there. The NXT Tag Team Championships on the line is going to be good stuff, and I bet the Creeds do show up so they can distract/screw over The Schism again.
Kiana winning because of Schism helps her move up the rankings, but I feel like Gigi is gonna return to settle things with her. And then Roxie also wants back at the Women’s Championship. Tiffany had a perfectly annoying promo, and her “idea” that no one will challenge her next is a perfectly Heel response. But Roxie or Gigi are definitely next, Tiff will just have to deal with it.
My Score: 8.8/10

Andrew’s TNA iMAPCT! & Unbreakable Results & Match Ratings: 4.17.2025
iMPACT is the Pre-Show, Unbreakable is a TNA+ Special! See what happened!
iMPACT! is getting the old Heat treatment as a TV episode pre-show. While nothing about the iMPACT episode seems overly intriguing, they all actually have narrative weight, and since the last two weeks have been devoid of weight and general cohesion…this might be a surprisingly good episode which would serve as a better pre-show than expected.
I’m still mad that it’s a damn Thursday and they want to have 4-5 hours of show because WrestleMania reasons. Even WWE realized doing long shows before workdays was stupid, so NJPW giving them the idea to break Mania into two nights is a boon for everyone over thirty.
Also the main reason I’m doing a joint article. Since Unbreakable starts immediately after iMPACT, I’m not gonna put up back to back articles. One stop shoppin it!
Will @AJFrancis410 be crowned the FIR$T TNA International Champion TONIGHT at #TNAUnbreakable?!

Results:
Laredo vs Jason Hotch w/Tasha Steelz
Laredo starts quick with a Straight Right, Tijeras, a few quick strikes, kicks Hotch out of the ring, wants a Plancha, but Tasha gets in the way to stop Laredo’s offense which gives Hotch an opening. Quick trip, a few chops and a hard Irish Whip has Laredo trying to catch his breath. Hotch tries to go for another Strong Irish Whip but Laredo reverses, two kicks, Flying Neckbreaker into a Missile Dropkick sending Hotch to the outside. Laredo finally pulls off his Suicida, and he’s rolling. Corner Forearm, Uno Mass Corkscrew Moonsaults, but Hotch manages to get away after two. A Snap Jab staggers Laredo, Ali style Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker and Hotch tries to take things to the top. But Laredo counters and Avalanche Michinoku Driver…only for two.
Laredo tries to keep things going, Back Handspring Crossbody, but Hotch catches him, big Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker for two. Hotch looks to the corner and then gets scared because he thinks Santana might strike, Hotch and Tasha argue, Laredo recovers and runs up the corner and hits the Laredo Fly for the win.
If @CodyDeaner can take down @KCwrestles tonight on #TNAiMPACT he punches his ticket Ultimate X at #TNARebellion! @milanmiracle

Jazmyn Nyx w/Fatal Influence vs Xia Brookside w/Lei Ying Lee
Jazmyn and Xia go for a chain wrestling or World of Sport kind of start. Xia even gets out of the Head Scissors with the classic Hand Stand and pop. After a little taunting, Jazmyn tries to charge but Xia loops around for a flash Cradle, Nyx kicks out quick and retreats to her Fatal Influence friends for a breather. Xia catches her with a Dropkick, a few strikes and starts putting things together until Jazmyn catches her in the corner and Snake Eyes Xia the hard way and then starts leaning her into the ropes, a few Leg Sweeps, PK kicks and Jazmyn is in control. Fisherman’s Suplex Hold from Jazmyn but Xia kicks at two. She tries to fight back up but Jazmyn is using her positioning to keep control. Bulldog into the middle buckle, puts Xia between the ropes and lays in a Round Kick to her chest and Xia has been eating offense for the last few minutes. The crowd tries to rally the little British Angel, but Jazmyn lays in some forearms, hits the ropes, Xia ducks and they hit stereo High Kicks to double down for a few moments.
Xia starts to rally, gets a few shots in, Tijeras, Xia tries Angel Wings but Jazmyn moves. Jazmyn tries to stay on her, but a Jawbreaker gives Xia time to go to the corner, Xia hits the Crossbody, Angel Wings, and looks for a DDT or something but Fatal Influence get involved distracting everyone. Lei has Fallon hanled, but Jacy is mouthing off causing Rosemary to come down and make a Mist save. Jazmyn tries to be opportunistic, but Xia blocks her move and hits the Small Package for the win.
Overbooked and timing was a bit shoddy in some spots, but not offensive. Not bad, but not good either.Â
KC Navarro vs Cody Deaner
This is for a spot in the Ultimate X match. Here’s to hoping the Blessed One beats the hell out of the loser who’s about as over as Herpes. Meaning he never goes away, and he’s unlikable. Anyone that says “Funny Underdogs are needed on shows”, isn’t that like 60% of the roster? No one is funny if everyone tries to be funny. KC however, he’s fucking hilarious and amazing.
KC tries to pay off Deaner and get him to forfeit, Deaner of course does the underdog thing of fighting back, dumb looking punches, goofball corner spot that he lengthens to the put of looking dumb and not funny. Oh thank God KC hits the Spiderman in the ropes, ducks Deaner and 305 gets hit for a near fall. Now KC is rolling, nice quick offense, Snapmare, Front Roll Neck Snap, Stomp into Split into cover for only two. Deaner goes for the comeback, and a few Lariats, Bulldog, and everything looks soo stupid. Deaner puts KC in the Airplane spin, gets dizzy and then goes again, TKO for two.
Navarro tries to powder, Deaner goes after him but the ref gets Deaner off of him since KC was in the ropes, KC wraps his necklace around his knuckles and a quick Jab to the face as Deaner tries to suplex him, 1-2-3, Blessed WIN.
If Deaner was the only doofus guy he’d be fine, but when we have Santino, Arianna, Laredo, KC, Great Hands, Brian Myers, Dango, Alisha, Hendry (while not a doofus isn’t close to serious), Kaz, Elegance Brand (all 3 of them), Ryan Nemeth and those are just off the top of my head. Everyone can’t be silly or no one is silly and nothing matters.
Maggie Lee & Heather by Elegance w/Personal Concierge vs Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley
I’m gonna keep any Gigi drooling to a minimum since I respect my boy Wentz, but I will say, you gotta love Hot Topic Hotties. Yes I like walking red flags, I’m self aware, and okay with it.
Maggie and Gigi start, a few quick counters, Gigi manages the Double Hook Cradle for two, then Hot Topic Hotties go tandem with a Dropkick and a Twisting Elbow for another two. Tatum is officially legal, Maggie looks for the tag but Heather wants to push Maggie more. Which is exactly how ASH treated her. Tatum turns it around, Gigi tags in, Poetry Bronco, and then Kawada Kicks from Gigi. Concierge distracts, Maggie grabs her, Heather takes the cheap shot, Suplex from Maggie for two. Heather and Maggie get some offense in together, and Heather is working Gigi over in the heel corner. Unicorn Stampede essentially. Heather goes for a pinfall and its only 2. Heather is getting frustrated, Gigi with an Upkick headscissors, Heather tries to stop the tag out, but eats the Mule Kick.
Tatum starts beating on Heather, rams Heather into Maggie, Cartwheel Peach Sunrise, tags in Gigi, Double Headbutts and Cemetery Drive from the Hot Topic Hotties and everyone wins. Jesus…will never leave this chat, he started it.
Jakara Jackson w/Lash Legend vs Dani Luna w/Jody Threat
Things start a little slow, Collar & Elbow tie up that they won’t relent for a while, Jakara tries to turn it into a Headlock Takeover, but Dani is too strong. Dani gets a few shots in, hops the rope for something but Lash makes her present felt and trips Dani while Jakara distracts the referee. The referee didn’t see anything but ejects Lash anyway. Lash won’t go, tries to intimidate the ref and say no. Jakara keeps things moving against Dani while Lash takes her sweet time slowly walking away. Jakara tries a Roll-Up but Dani too thicc to keep down. Dani fights back up, scoops Jakara and drops her unceremoniously.
Jakara starts laying in a bunch of Falling Knees and gets a quick two, before locking in a Cravat that Dani tries to fight out of. Dani counters out of it, ducks the Line, and they crash into each other with Forearms. The Double Fall Down spot is a little played out and this is only the pre-show really.
Dani levels Jakara with a few Lariats, looks for the Luna Landing, Jakara slips it so Dani comes off the ropes with a Busaiku Knee. Luna wants a Blue Thunder but Jakara gets away until Luna grabs her again for the Rebound Blue Thunder Bomb and a near fall. Luna charges the corner, misses, Jakara hits the Tornado DDT, but only two. Jakara tries to ram Dani’s head into the buckles, but Luna blocks, fires and takes Jakara’s head off, Luna Landing gets his and Dani wins!
Elijah has a promo segment and they have a really Sesame Street style “Walk this Way” words on the screen thing. When they did the bouncing ball lyrics with Ron Killings, it was at least cool. This comes off as corny and low budget public broadcasting crap just for Elijah to announce an open challenge at Rebellion or something. Admittedly I zoned out cause I figured it would be nothing of note.
Leon Slater vs Brian Myers
Myers and Slater start in a shoving match jawing at each other, and then Leon lays in a Shoulder Tackle off the ropes, some jumping crap and Myers is getting bounced from corner to corner like a dork. Leon tries to continue the Around the World but a punch, Thrust Kick and Irish Whip across the ring gives him some confidence, but he eats the Feint Mule Kick, Back Handspring Back Elbow…and again System matches are “look stupid and get beat up for 70% of the match until a shortcut can be taken”. Speaking of short cuts, Leon goes for his Corner Leap, Myers guards from it, Leon repositions but gets tripped and eats a Spear. Then…we go to commercial.
Coming out of the commercials Myers is still in control. Leon slips out of a suplex and then connects with a flurry of offense, Myers eats more kicks than I can count, powders, Leon does his corner post leap, comes in and looks to win but an Implant DDT, dick kick and Roster Cut gives Myers the win.
Overall iMPACT! Rating: 5/10
Nothing special but at least it made some sense and was a better than the last few episodes. Low bar comparatively. Now immediately onto Unbreakable! So because this is a long night, I figured I’d do a Watch A Long with Mat Sarpraicone over on Dirt Sheet Radio because I have zero faith in Unbreakable being worth the 2-3 hours it will take to watch it.
So you’ll get quick results with ratings and an overall thoughts at the end of Unbreakable from me, because it’s late and I needed something to keep me awake.
Overall Unbreakable Rating: 4.5/10
The iMPACT! episode was easier to watch and digest, three Triple Threats is too many and the Main Event being a slow paced triple threat after a Barb Wire match and a bunch of faster matches really doesn’t resonate well with fans. Even though I didn’t love the Sami vs Mance match, ending on carnage and the “babyface” winning would’ve been a much better way to send the crowd home happy and we wouldn’t have needed so much time fill during the last hour of the show.
Maclin being the inaugural International Champion is cool, setting up the first defense against Eric Young is good for their story, so most of the marks were hit. It just was too damn slow and had no business being a main event. Champions vs Challengers was okay, but it only really picked up when Masha and Tessa were mixing it up. I liked Moose having the extended squash match for shits and giggles, but two Triples back to back to open the show is an easy way to burn out a crowd. Sure the Moose match was an extended piss break to recharge the crowd, but the card was just laid out awkwardly and things felt like far more of a chore than they should have.
All in all this was a very lame event. Yes I get it was purely stop gap to take advantage of WrestleMania weekend, but with Rebellion next week, we all knew it wasn’t gonna shake things up too much. But hot damn was I about to fall asleep if I wasn’t doing the watch-a-long to not pass out.

PLAY BY PLAY
Marina Shafir storms out here!
She throws some poor rando around on stage, and then kicks her off stage, to then storm into the ring. Marina intimidates Arkady Aura into giving up her mic, then here come the Death Riders! Claudio Castagnoli SHOVES a cameraman down, then SMASHES the camera! Then he CHOKE SLAMS the cameraman through a table! Wheeler Yuta beats up more equipment, the fans boo these sore losers, because clearly this is all in response to losing the AEW World Trios Championships just last night. Boston tells off Yuta but he just uses that as motivation. Jon Moxley is in the ring, waiting for all of this to calm down a bit.
Marina gives Moxley the mic, and Moxley tells the fans and everyone celebrating last night better enjoy it now. “Hobbs, Swerve, Shibata, enjoy it now! Because it’s the last chance you’re gonna have to celebrate for a long time!” The fans boo, but Moxley tells The Young Bucks he officially doesn’t like them, he doesn’t like looking at them, so they better stay in their own lane. They cross the line with Moxley, he swears to God that they are never seen or heard from again, and he means that! Fans are torn there, but Moxley says from the first day he started in this sport, there was one undisputed baddest man in pro-wrestling. That man is Samoa Joe.
The fans cheer for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” and Moxley says he has always shown Joe respect, treated him with reverence. The fans sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Yuta tells them to shut up! Moxley says he has given Joe that reverence, he has given Joe his space, and it could’ve stayed that way. But Joe started something that Moxley has to finish. Because Moxley doesn’t know any other way, he will not run, he will not hide, he will not roll over and die. he knows no other way to do this but to fight Joe to the death for the AEW World Championship! Tomorrow, now, for better or worse! Mox will be clear: He is challenging Joe!
The fans again chant for “JOE! JOE! JOE!” Moxley says that’s all he’s gotta say. Joe’s known Moxley long enough to know exactly what he’s dealing with. Moxley then storms off, leading the Death Riders away. Will Samoa Joe accept that challenge, and perhaps even go Double or Nothing?
Kevin Knight VS Lance Archer w/ Don Callis!
The Jet is feeling real good having his share of $400,000, and he’s preparing for next month’s NJPW Best of the Super Juniors tournament. But will Knight still be too fly? Or will he be sent crashing down by the Murderhawk Monster?
The moment Archer hits the ring, he hits Knight! Archer fires off in a corner, the bell rings, and the ref counts. The fans boo but archer only stops to throw his jacket at Knight! Then he THROWS Knight out of the ring! The fans tell Callis off like they did last night, but Archer SMACKS Knight off the LED walls! Archer says night-night, Knight! He CLUBS Knight down on the stage, then drags him up to TOSS him down the ramp! Knight flounders to the apron but Archer steps inside to stop the ring count. Archer goes out to drag Knight up, choke grips, and CHOKE- NO, Knight flips free! Knight blocks a boot, ROCKS Archer, then goes up the corner, BIG triangle jump DROPKICK!
The fans fire up as night goes to the apron, springboards, QUEBRADA! They fall on the ramp and the fans fire up! Knight storms after Archer as they go into the ring, then Knight climbs up. Knight leaps to SEATED- NO, Archer catches Knight! Knight fights and RANAS Archer into a corner! Knight stomps and UPPERCUTS on repeat! Knight then stomps a mudhole, but stops as the ref counts 4. The fans fire up with Knight, but Archer LARIATS Knight inside-out! The fans boo but Archer drags Knight back up. Short arm LARIAT! Callis applauds while Archer rains down forearms on Knight’s head.
The ref reprimands about pulling hair but Archer tells him to shut up! Archer stomps Knight, paces around him, then drags him up. Archer CLUBS Knight on the back, then stalks him to a corner. Archer CHOPS Knight but the fans rally, “Let’s Go, Kevin!” Archer whips, Knight sunset flips, but Archer stays up! But Knight avoids the punch! Knight runs to SLIDING SHOULDER TACKLE! Archer tumbles out of the ring, Knight runs, and he WRECKS Archer with a dropkick! Archer pinballs off the desk, then Knight goes up the corner. But Callis grabs at Knight’s foot! The fans boo, Callis gets away with that, but Archer drags Knight down!
Archer ROCKS Knight, then SWINGS him into the steel steps! Archer is all fired up, Callis is happy, but the fans boo while Collision goes picture in picture.
Archer drags Knight up, brings him around, and whips him hard into railing! Knight sputters, the fans cheer him on, but Archer brings Knight up. Archer ROCKS Knight, sits him in a chair, and then runs up to BOOT him down! Knight slumps against the barriers while Archer refreshes the count. But this just lets Callis get his shots in! Callis hammers Knight, but stops before he gets caught. Callis talks smack on the fans, especially that one guy in the third row. Archer stands Knight up against barriers, calls out a small child in their father’s arms, and then CHOPS Knight! Archer drags Knight along the way, taunts more fans, but Knight fires body shots!
Knight CHOPS Archer, but Archer isn’t even bothered! Archer whips Knight back into the ring, then storms in after him. Archer looms over Knight, stands on Knight’s hand, then steps off as the ref reprimands. Archer taunts Knight, stands him up, and pulls hair to put him in the corner. Archer climbs up, taunts the fans, and he smothers Knight! Archer rains down fists, but he stops short of ten to rob the fans the satisfaction! Spring Breakthru returns to single picture and Archer runs corner to corner. ELBOW! Archer keeps moving, and he ELBOWS Knight again! Archer wants more, so he runs again, to ELBOW Knight again!
The fans are torn as Archer has his hattrick, and he looms over Knight again. Archer taunts Knight, slaps him around, but Knight fires a body shot! Archer nods, eggs Knight on, and Knight fires more hands! The fans fire up, but Archer DECKS Knight! Archer drags Knight around, has a cocky cover, ONE!! Knight is tougher than that as a former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, and he flips Archer off! Archer grabs at him, Knight cradles, TWO!!

Archer is still in this, but Knight runs corner to corner, only for Archer to dodge! Arche comes back, DERAILER!! Archer hauls Knight up, BUCKLE BOMBS, and CHOKE SLAMS! Cover, TWO?!?! Knight survives and Callis is furious! Archer snarls but he drags Knight back to a corner. The fans rally as hard as they can for “KEVIN! KEVIN!” but Archer walks the tightrope! But Knight trips Archer up! Archer is stuck on the ropes, and Knight DROPKICKS him down!
The fans fire up as Knight springboards, FLYING FOREARM to the floor! The fans fire up and Knight puts Archer in! Knight springboards, but Archer catches him! Knight HOTSHOTS that arm, then springboards again, FLYING LARIAT!! Cover, Knight wins!!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
The Jet flies high and takes the win! Will this literally big win help Knight take over the BOSJ?
The Opps speak.
After Dynamite went off the air, the NEW AEW World Trios Champions regrouped backstage. Samoa Joe said, “Do you understand the unusual thing about predators? Predators tend to think they are the largest and most evil thing in the jungle. They think that nothing pursues them because they are the pursuers. Tonight, the Death Riders learned that wasn’t the case. See, we are The Opps. We are not a movement, we are not an understanding between gentlemen, no. We are men who only need an opportunity and excuse to commit violence. We are men like Shibata. We are men like myself. And now, Death Riders, you learned we are men like Willy Hobbs.
“We are The Opps. We are your AEW Trios Champions. And we are coming for so much more.” The Death Riders were the hunters but are now the hunted, will their reign of terror end thanks to The Opps?
BREAKING NEWS for next week’s Collision!
While Collision will return to Saturday nights, it will also have to wait until after coverage of the NBA Playoffs. The silver lining? It’ll be live from coast to coast! Make sure you schedule accordingly so you don’t miss a minute of the Playoff Palooza!
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter & Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with these two ahead of their Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament match, set for next week on Dynamite. It is a semifinal match, and yet this is also the first time Kris and Jamie face off 1v1. The winner goes on to Double or Nothing to face Mercedes Mone in the tournament finals, but Kris stops Renee there. Enough about Mone. And enough about Toni Storm, honestly. There are plenty of other women in this locker room who work just as hard, if not harder, than those two. Jamie says she won’t disagree there. Jamie works hard, Kris works hard, and Jamie won’t stand here to give endless pats on the back.
But Jamie also knows Kris is good, being a former TBS Champion. And Kris knows Jamie is good, being a former AEW Women’s World Champion. They both know they can go, and this right here has been a long time coming. Whoever wins this, they better go all the way. See you Wednesday, mate. That match is for Dynamite, but will Kris get a leg up on Mone in the tag match later tonight?
Tony Schiavone reads a letter from FTR.
Given the suspension as announced last night, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are not allowed in the building, so they sent this message instead.
“Dear Tony & Nigel, I (Dax) wish I could take back everything we did to you guys last week. It was completely unacceptable, unnecessary, and unwarranted. I honestly think the punishment for us wasn’t severe enough.” Schiavone explains it is a suspension for a week, without pay. Dax’s letter continues to say, “Tony, I would never have gone through with the piledriver with you. You said some things about my daughter that I won’t hold against you. But in the heat of the moment, I felt I was justified to scare you a little. I love you, Tony.” Schiavone rolls his eyes, the fans boo because they don’t believe Dax’s words.
Schiavone explains this next part is addressed to Nigel. “I never wanted things to get physical between the three of us, I know your body, and your mind for that matter, is very fragile.” Nigel rolls his eyes at the passive aggressiveness there. “I’m sure you were thinking the same thing with emotions as we were. Even though you probably knew there was no way you could ever beat us up, LOL. Again, my sincerest apologies to you both, and I hope we can just move forward in a professional and productive manner. With love, Dax Harwood.” The fans still boo the ingenuine sentiments, and Nigel sarcastically accepts the apology. Will FTR ever actually learn their lesson?
Josh Alexander & Konosuke Takeshita VS Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii!
The Walking Weapon couldn’t defeat the Cowboy, so he goes and sucker punches him after the match, then seemingly joins forces with The Don Callis Family! Will Alexander get his first win alongside The Alpha? Or can Azucar & Stone Pitbull conglomerate their way to a victory?

Ishii DECKS Konosuke for it! Alexander waistlocks, Ishii fights and switches, but Konosuke runs in!
Alexander ducks, Konosuke BOOTS Ishii! Konosuke runs, he and Ishii DOUBLE LARIAT! Konosuke rebounds to LARIT Ishii down! Rocky runs up, wrenches Konosuke, and kicks off Alexander to TORNADO DDT!

The fans fire up more as Ishii runs, and he LARIATS Alexander down! Cover, Rocky blocks Konosuke, but Konosuke SHOVES Rocky onto Ishii! The match is saved but the ref reprimands everyone for being in the ring. Ishii and Rocky argue, but Konosuke has Rocky!

Rocky stands Ishii up, and says goodbye. Trent CLOBBERS Ishii with the monkey wrench!!! Trent & Rocky are in the Family, will AEW soon belong to them?
Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Lexy Nair welcomes in #FourBeltsMone, and Mone again says, “Bostooon~! Say hello to your C E O!” Lexy congratulates Mone on defeating Athena last night and advancing to the Women’s Owen Hart Cup finals at Double or Nothing. She will either face Kris or Jamie, and Kris is someone Mone has had a lot of history with. Mone stops Lexy there and says that history is where Mone won them all. Tonight, she is in the main event in another tag match alongside Harley Cameron. Mone already groans as Harley brings out “Mini Mone!” “Bostooooon~! Say hello to your C E O~!” Mone says she already did that.
Mini Mone knows Main Mone doesn’t wanna talk to Harley right now, but she has assured Mini Mone that things will be different this time. They better be! Now now, talk to Mini Mone. She’s not gonna do that! Harley, just stay out of the way and not be such a loser! Harley pouts but Mone says there’s no reason to be sad. Mini Mone says yeah, there’s no crying in wrestling! Damn right! Wait, wait, why is she talking like the puppet’s real!? Harley starts singing “Ride the Money Wrath Train~!” Mone says no no no! Mone storms off, but the train is on the tracks either way. Mini Mone says, “See you tonight!” Will The CEO and the wild Aussie stay on track as we head for Double or Nothing?
2v1 Handicap Match: Megan Bayne w/ Penelope Ford VS Rebecca Scott & Ashley Vox!

They double whip, but Megan crisscrosses them into each other, then DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEXES!! The fans fire up as Megan roars, and she reels Vox in! Megan hauls Vox up to POWERBOMB!

Anthony Bowens speaks.
“Throughout my life, I’ve been told ‘no’ so many times. But if I wanted it bad enough, I always found a way. And here in AEW, I won’t take ‘no’ for an answer. My name is Anthony Bowens. I am AEW’s 5 Tool Player. The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. I am the Pride of Professional Wrestling, led by a badass. I intend to use every tool necessary to climb to the top of AEW. And oh, yeah, I intend to win gold. Let’s make history. So the question is, who’s next to step to the plate and get their ass Molly Whopped by THE Five Tool Player?! That journey starts now. Don’t believe me? Well I’ve got five tools and one rule: Prove them wrong!”
AEW TNT Championship Open Challenge: Adam Cole VS ???
The Panama City Playboy is in Boston, ready to make this City of Champions undisputed! But who will step to this paragon of wrestling? CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLI! The Death Riders never left the building, they were just lurking from the shadows! But will the Swiss Cyborg snatch away this title to make up for the one he lost?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who brings the boom!
The bell rings and the two tie up. Claudio powers Cole right to a corner, lets off as the ref counts, but then Cole avoids the sucker punch! Cole fires fast hands, the fans fire up, but the ref counts. Claudio scoops Cole first to SLAM him down! Claudio looms over Cole, drags him up, and he whips Cole, only for Cole to reverse. But Claudio bounces off buckles to BOOT Cole down! The fans boo but Claudio stalks Cole. Claudio drags Cole up, scoops again, but Cole fights around to a SLEEPER! The fans cheer, but Claudio RAMS Cole into buckles. Claudio is free, but Cole BOOTS him, then JUMP NECKBREAKERS! Cover, ONE!!
Cole hurries to headlock, but Claudio powers up and lifts Cole, only for Cole to sunset flip! Claudio drags Cole right up, but Cole fires forearms! The fans fire up as Cole whips, btu Claudio reverses. Cole grabs ropes, 52 Fake Out! SHINING WIZARD! Cover, TWO! Claudio stays in this but Cole runs up to BOOT him back down! Claudio bails out, throws a fit, but then Cole BOOTS him off the apron! The fans fire up for “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Claudio goes to the apron, Cole storms up on him, but Claudio trips Cole up! Claudio drags Cole out, Cole fires forearms, but Claudio knees low! Claudio whips Cole hard into barriers!
Claudio winds up, runs up, but Cole dodges! Now Claudio hits the barriers! Cole fires forearms, stalks Claudio around the way, and he fires forearms again. Claudio YANKS Cole into the barriers! The ring count climbs, Claudio hauls Cole up, BARRIER BACK SUPLEX! Cole flops to the floor and the fans lose their minds! Claudio refreshes the ring count, but he does wait on Cole. Cole slowly crawls, so Claudio goes out to fetch him. Claudio UPPERCUTS Cole, Cole staggers around, and Claudio military presses him! Claudio TOSSES Cole out into the crowd! The fans go nuts again, and they cheer on “A E DUB! A E DUB!” for making this possible.
Claudio storms into the ring, soaks up the heat, and the ref checks Cole. That was a rough landing on that hardwood floor, but it seems Cole is okay to continue. The fans rally for Cole as he hobbles his way back to ringside. Cole rolls in, but Claudio runs up to LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Cole stays in this but Claudio clamps onto him with a chinlock. Cole endures, the fans rally, but Claudio squeezes tight. Cole fights around, fights to his feet, and the fans fire up as Cole fires body shots. But Claudio knees low, then TOSSES Cole back out! Cole flops to the floor, the fans boo more, but Claudio just soaks it all up as Collision goes picture in picture.
Cole gets checked by Doc Sampson, given that big bruise right on his side. The ring count climbs all the while, and Claudio paces as he waits on a verdict from Doc. Cole seems to be okay to continue, and he crawls his way over. Cole grabs at the apron skirt, drags himself up, and springs in at 9! Claudio is right on him and rains down fists! Claudio is all fired up, and also sports a cut on his arm from hitting these barriers. Claudio scoops to hit a BACKBREAKER, and then he bends Cole against his knee! Cole endures, throws hands from below, but Claudio shoves him down! Cole avoids the elbow drop! Claudio snarls, but Cole fires a forearm!
Claudio UPPERCUTS, Cole fires another forearm, repeat! Claudio looms over Cole but Cole still comes back with a forearm! The shots go back and forth, but then Claudio smothers Cole with a chinlock! Cole endures and fights back up, but Claudio pushes him down to the mat! Claudio leans on the hold as he grinds Cole down. Cole fights up again, fires body shots, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture. Claudio ROCKS Cole, runs, but Cole ROCKS Claudio! Claudio UPPERCUTS into a backslide! TWO, and Cole fireman’s carries, but Claudio fights free! Claudio whips, UPPERCUTS, then whips corner to corner.
Claudio runs in and UPPERCUTS! Then he whips corner to corner again, for another UPPERCUT! Claudio tries again, but Cole SUPERKICKS him down! The fans fire up while a standing count begins again! Cole is in a corner, but Claudio rises up to get him. Cole JAWBREAKERS, then ELBOWS, then BOOTS! Claudio still comes back, Cole gets around, BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! Cole is frustrated and sore, but he still stands up. The fans fire up as Cole is in the corner, and he climbs up the ropes! Cole aims, Claudio stands, PANAMA- BACKDROP! Claudio wags his finger, then he storms up, but has to fight off another fireman’s carry!
Claudio short arm LARIATS, then he drags Cole up! Claudio reels Cole in, but Cole BACKDROPS! Claudio just manages to land out, but Cole SUPERKICKS again! Cole now fireman’s carries, for USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Claudio stays in this and Cole is frustrated, but the fans rally up behind Cole. Cole goes back to the corner, hops up again, and Claudio’s up. PANAMA SUN- NO, Claudio trips and SWINGS Cole! The fans are torn as Cole goes around and around! TEN and Claudio THROWS Cole! Cover, TWO!! But into a CROSSFACE! Claudio pulls back on Cole but Cole endures! The fans rally as Cole reaches out. Cole rolls to a cover, TWO!
Claudio THROWS Cole to a corner! Claudio runs, UPPERCUTS, and then runs again! But Cole DUMPS Claudio out! Claudio HOTSHOTS Cole, hurries up the corner, then leaps, into a SUPERKICK! Cole covers, TWO!! Claudio is still in this, but both men are running on fumes. Cole rises up, brings down the kneepad, and says it’s time. But Claudio stops Cole to waistlock, only for Cole to PELE! Cole runs, into a POP-UP UPPERCUT! Cover, TWO!! Cole survives and Claudio is in disbelief! Cole goes to a corner as Claudio snarls and rises up. Claudio runs up, UPPERCUTS, and UPPERCUTS, and UPPERCUTS!
The ref backs Claudio off, the fans boo, but Claudio just seethes. Cole drags himself up with the ropes, Claudio runs back in, UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! UPPERCUT! Claudio just UPPERCUTS and ELBOWS away! The ref backs Claudio off, warns him to listen to authority, but Claudio goes back in for more UPPERCUTS! The fans rally for Cole as he takes these shots, but then Claudio hoists him up top! Claudio climbs, goes to the very top, SUPER DUPER PLEX!! Cover, ONE, and into a ghost pin! COLE WINS!!!
Winner: Adam Cole, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
Claudio is in shock! But perhaps his anger got the better of him as he could’ve done things different. But the rest of the Undisputed Kingdom/Paragon is here to celebrate with their guy! Will Cole, Roddy & Kyle all be rolling on the road to Double or Nothing? Wait, now Claudio FLIPS the desk over in his anger! And then he stands it up on it’s side to tip it the other way! And another way! Yuta and Moxley hurry out here to try and calm Claudio down, and the fans taunt Claudio, “That’s expensive! That’s expensive!” They even chant “LOSERS! LOSERS!” The Death Riders storm off, what will satiate their anger?
Backstage interview with “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith.
Lexy Nair is with the former Learning Tree Branches, The Redwood & The Bad Apple. She brings up how last week, Chris Jericho said he wasn’t angry, he was just disappointed, and then he left them to themselves. Where do they go from here? Bill says Jericho was disappointed in them, but Bill is disappointed in Jericho. Jericho is supposed to be the leader, and yet he walks out on them? Quite honestly, Bill is getting… angry. Keith wants Bill to chill. Not right now. What? What’s the difference? They talked about this in private, what’s the difference with it being now? Keith says it is like Bill just said: It was in private.
Keith knows Jericho said they were family, and that means something to Keith. And he just feels that if they’re family, they should handle this like family, and that is internally. And maybe, if Bill didn’t put Jericho on blast last week, Jericho wouldn’t have left. Bill understands, family is very important. That is why Keith wants to get back in the good graces of Jericho. Bill gets that. He just isn’t sure they should be living and dying at the whims of Jericho. Either way, the strategy moving forward is the same: They need to get in the ring, crack some skulls, and stack some wins. Lexy, to answer the question of what’s next, that is next.
Bill heads out, Keith follows, but will they do better or worse without The Nueve?
Six Man Tag: La Faccion Ingobernable VS Rosario Grillo, Leon St. Giovanni & KM!
Finally, El Toro Blanco has returned! Rush leads Dralistico y The Beast Mortos into action again, will LFI finally stampede through AEW?
The trios sort out and LFI just attacks! Dralistico has Grillo, Rush has KM and Mortos as LSG! Things spill out side, LFI send their opponents into barriers, and then Darlistico CHOPS Grillo! Rush stomps KM, Dralistico stomps Grillo, and Mortos is back in the ring. The fans fire up with Mortos, and Dralistico sends Grillo into more railing! Rush regroups with his hermanos, both literal and in arms. Dralistico CHOPS LSG, Mortos SPLASHES, and then Mortos whips LSG corner to corner for another SPLASH! Mortos whips LSG to ropes now, for a POP-UP SAMOAN DROP! Tag to Dralistico and he springboards in, FLYING CODE BREAKER!
LSG flounders around and the fans fire up. KM tags in, but Dralistico SOBATS, KICKS, and ENZIGIRIS! The fans fire up as Dralistico tags in Rush! The fans fire up and Rush SUPERMAN PUNCHES KM! Then he DECKS LSG, HEADBUTTS Grillo, and he lets Dralistico FLY! Down go LSG and Grillo! Rush then says, “You mess with the bull…” YOU GET THE BULL’S HORNS!! KM takes those right in the face! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: La Faccion Ingobernable, by pinfall
LFI makes quick work, and Rush says LFG! Will these three be like bulls in a China shop when it comes to the AEW Trios Division?
Backstage interview with Kevin Knight.
Renee catches up to The Jet as he and “Speedball” Mike Bailey say hey. A big congratulations for Knight in winning against Archer. Renee is pretty sure that match came about because Callis didn’t like the rejection he got in trying to recruit Knight and Speedball. Knight says pretty much, but that’s understandable. He doesn’t think the Don- Ricochet steps in, backwards hat and military coat not really going together, but he tells Knight to shut it. Ricochet says these goofs are not the story of the week. The story is how they screwed Ricochet last week and stole that prize money!
Speedball says if by “screwed,” Ricochet means Speedball’s team beat him fair and square to win 400 stacks, then yeah, he got screwed. Ricochet says first, you pinned Mortos, not Ricochet. And seeing as how they’re the new guys here, here’s some “veteran advice.” Don’t upset the top talent in AEW. You don’t disrupt the chain of command. And since Knight and Speedball are so low, at the bottom of the pole, take his advance before something bad happens. Knight says Ricochet has it all twisted, they respect him. Knight and Speedball respect the game, the in-ring talent, the hot wife, all of that.
But anything that Ricochet can do, the Jet can, too. In fact, here’s something he can do that Ricochet can’t. And then he shakes them dreads! Ricochet says here’s what he can do: he can smack Knight in his mouth! Then do it then! Maybe he will, if Knight keeps talking! Knight fakes a slap and makes Ricochet flinch! Ricochet says okay, he wants trouble now. Yeah, Knight needs that. Speedball says okay, just not tonight. Speedball and Knight head out, Renee tosses her hair and leaves. But will the One & Only find he’s the only one with a problem?
ROH World TV Championship: Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Nick Wayne!
If Christian Cage is to be believed, this match has come about all thanks to him pulling the strings. But at the same time, he told his “son” that he’d have to win this one on his own. Will The Prodigy make The Patriarch of the Patriarchy proud? Or will the Commander of the Skies ruin Christian’s “gift?”
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s the real star of ROH TV!
The Code of Honor is not upheld as Nick SPITS at Komander! The bell rings, the fans boo, and Komander DORPKCIKS Nick! Komander fires off hands in the corner, Nick scurries away but Komander keeps on him! Komander CHOPS, Nick kicks low, and then Nick ROCKS Komander. Nick storms up, but Komander kicks, mule kicks, front kicks, and CHOPS! The fans fire up, Komander whips, but Nick reverses. Komander rolls off Nick’s back, then blocks the chop to knuckle lock and CHOP! Komander goes up, up, jumps around, and then FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up again while Nick flounders away.
Komander runs in, Nick TOSSES him to the ramp! Nick comes back, but Komander GAMANGIRIS him down! Komander goes up with Nick in the drop zone! But Nick hurries away, no Cielito. Komander still tightrope walks to ARABIAN PRESS, only for Nick to put him on the apron! Komander RAMS into Nick, springboards, and CROSSBODIES! Then DROPKICKS! The fans fire up while Nick bails out to the ramp. Komander aims, springboards, but Nick dodges! Komander comes back, Nick puts him in the ring, then he ducks a haymaker to HOTSHOT! Komander falls and the fans boo, but Nick checks his teeth.
We see Christian Cage, Kip Sabian & Mother Shayna are watching this backstage as Nick hurries back in the ring. Nick stomps Komander, RAMS him into a corner, then puts him up top. Komander wobbles, Nick winds up to CHOP, then Nick climbs. Komander fires hands and Nick backs off. Komander hops down, springboards, but Nick SHOVES him down! Komander crashes to the floor and Collision goes picture in picture.
Abrahantes coaches Komander, and Nick goes outside to taunt the fans. Nick then fetches Komander to THROW him into railing! Komander writhes, Nick soaks up heat much like he did during Prelude to Spring Breakthru. Nick fetches Komander again, puts him in the ring, and taunts the fans before stepping inside. Cover, TWO! Nick is annoyed but he looms over Komander. Nick drags Komander up, throws him into the ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Nick steps off and he taunts the fans before he CHOKES Komander again! The ref counts again, Nick steps off, and Komander sputters while Nick swaggers around.
Nick drags Komander up, brings him around, and snapmares for a leg drop! Cover, TWO! Komander stays in this and Nick grows frustrated. Nick tells the fans to shut up, but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Nick again has Komander on the ropes, literally. Nick whips Komander then KNEES him against the ropes! Nick soaks up the heat, whips Komander again, but Komander springboards to go up and FLYING ARM-DRAG! Then he reels Nick into a EURO CLUTCH! TWO!! Nick escapes in time, but Komander CHOPS! And CHOPS! Nick kicks low, runs, but Komander scoops to BACKBREAKER! The fans fire up while both men are down! Abrahantes and Boston rally for “KO-MAN-DER!” Nick goes to a corner, Komander runs up, but Nick dodges! Nick runs in, but Komander puts him up top, ROCKS and CHOPS him, then triangle jump ENZIGIRIS!
Nick flops to the ramp and the fans fire up! Komander builds speed, and he FLIES to SWANTON Nick on the ramp! A rough landing no matter what, but Komander still kicks Nick in the ring. Komander aims from the corner, tunes up the band and the fans join in. Komander runs, goes up, up, and MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Nick survives but the fans taunt him with “Whose Mom?” “NICK’S MOM!” Komander drags Nick up, torture racks, but Nick fires hands! Nick is free, he goes to a corner, but Komander runs up. Nick goes up and over, victory rolls, TWO! Komander runs back in, but Nick sends him hard into buckles!
The fans boo while Nick takes aim. Nick kicks but Komander ducks it! Komander RAMS Nick into the corner, then hops up, POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO! Nick survives and both men are down while the fans fire back up. Komander goes back to the corner, aims and springboards, but Nick slips around! DRAGON SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Nick is stunned, but he takes aim again! Komander rises, into Nick’s ROUNDHOUSE! Then up, up, WAYNE- TIGER FEINT sweeps the legs! And then a FLYING DESTROYER!! Nick tumbles out of the ring, staggers around, and the fans are thunderous as Komander builds speed!
Komander goes up, up, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS!! Direct hit on Nick and Boston is erupting! Komander puts Nick in, “This is Awesome!” as Komander climbs again. Nick is in the drop zone, for CIELITO LINDOÂ onto BOOTS!! Nick turns things around, then takes aim, ROUNDHOUSE! Nick roars, reels Komander in to pump handle and PRODIGY PLEX!! Cover, NICK WINS!!!
Winner: Nick Wayne, by pinfall (NEW ROH World Television Champion)
Boston doesn’t like it, but Nick Wayne just became the youngest singles champion in ROH! The Patriarchy is certainly proud, but then Christian Cage leaves Shayna and Kip to go off somewhere. Will he prepare some other gift for his Prodigy as celebration?
Hologram is loading.
And Hologram will return to action next week for Playoff Palooza! Will the incredible win streak continue?
Top Flight speaks.
Dante Martin calls out Action Andretti & Lio Rush to say, “Guess what? We just came from Tony Khan’s office, and there’s no more running, there’s no more hiding, no more ducking, because we have a match next week.” Darius says it isn’t just any match. This has been going on for far too long, so they’re over the wrestling part of this. They want to fight The Cru! Forget the rules, forget the tags, it is a TORNADO TAG MATCH! Leila Grey tells Action & Lio that they’ll see ’em next week for Collision: Playoff Palooza. That is, if The Cru has the balls to show up. Well hold on, The Cru shows up now!
Lio & Action tell Top Flight that they don’t have to wait! Security steps in and keeps this from getting out of hand, but what will happen when there’s nothing holding these teams back?
BREAKING NEWS for a future Dynamite!
It will be AEW’s return to Portland, Oregon, June 11th, when AEW does the unthinkable! It will be the first-ever AEW Summer Blockbuster, a FOUR HOUR edition of Dynamite! That’s right, F O U R!! Get tickets next Thursday, or at least set your DVRs so you do not miss what could be an instant classic!
Toni Storm is here!
The Timeless AEW Women’s World Champion was present last night to watch from afar, but now she wants to get a closer look at tonight’s main event!
Mercedes Mone & Harley Cameron VS Kris Statlander & Julia Hart!
The CEO is reluctant to step back into the ring alongside the wild Aussie, but Harley’s probably the only person who would team with her at this point. Can Harley help Mone keep the Money (Wrath) Train on track? Or will the #BornAgainKristen and the Princess of the Black Throne make a winning combination?
The teams sort out and Mone starts against Kris for both a revival of their rivalry, and also a teaser of what could be for the Owen Hart Cup finals. The two tie up, and Kris SHOVES Mone down! The fans cheer as Kris flexes, but Mone tags Harley. Harley and Kris tie up, and Kris SHOVES Harley away! Harley tags Mone back in, and then picks up Mini Mone! Wait, wait, Harley tags in Mini Mone? Is this a substitution or a 3v2 Handicap now? Harley THROWS Mini Mone at Kris, which Kris easily catches. Kris passes Mini Mone to Julia, how just puts Mini Mone down to step on! Harley tries to roll Kris up but Kris stays up.
Kris drags Harley to her feet, then slips around to roll Harley up! Harley rolls through, Oklahoma Rolls back, TWO! Kris runs up, Harley headlocks, but Kris powers up and out. Harley tilt-o-whirls and HARLEY-GO-ROUNDS! Kris ends up in a corner, the fans fire up, and Harley shouts, “Feel The Wrath~!” Harley runs in, Kris dodges, and then Kris runs in. Harley ELBOWS Kris, has Kris in the ropes, and sunset flips! TWO! Kris kicks, then deadlifts Harley for a suplex! The fans fire up, Kris tags Julia, and Julia takes the handoff to wrench and YANK Harley’s arm! Julia YANKS the arm again and again, then goes up the ropes.
Julia knuckle locks, then tightrope walks! The fans fire up as Julia hits an OLD SCHOOL! Then she adds a BLINDSIDE LARIAT! Cover, but Mone breaks it! The fans cheer, but Julia drags Harley up. Harley JAWBREAKERS, then runs, dodges, and ENZIGIRIS! Tag to Mone, but Julia drop toeholds! Julia dribbles Mone off the mat, but Mone gets free. Mone goes to a corner, Julia runs up and ELBOWS! Julia runs side to side, tags Kris, then goes back to ELBOW Mone again! Kris runs in and KNEES Mone down! Kris brings Mone around to scoop, and FALL AWAY SLAMS! The fans fire up while Mone flounders out and Kris flexes.
Kris goes to the apron, Mone blocks the kick, but Kris handstands out of the throw! Kris also avoids the sweep of her arms, but Mone goes up! Kris avoids the meteora, and they both stop as the other shows haymaker! They then look at Toni Storm, and then they both ROCK the other! Julia and Harley run up, but Mone and Kris DECK them! Then they fire fast hands with each other! The fans fire up, Kris KNEES low, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Kris reels Mone in and FLAPJACKS her off the apron! Mone flounders, Kris stands on her while doing the CEO dance! Kris hauls Mone up and into the ring, covers, TWO! Kris drags Mone up, tags Julia, and they mug Mone. Julia ROCKS Mone, whips her to a corner, but Mone reverses. Mone runs up, blocks boots and ROCKS Julia! Julia is in the ropes and Mone hits the STOCK DROP! Mone huffs ‘n’ puffs before she drags Julia to a cover, TWO! Mone is annoyed but she drags Julia up again. Mone snapmares Julia, runs, and METEORAS! Cover, TWO! Julia stays in this but Mone taunts Kris. Mone dares Julia to crawl to Kris, but then she bumps Julia off buckles.
Mone tags Harley and they mug Julia. Harley brings Julia around, whips her to ropes, and ELBOWS her down! Cover, TWO! Harley stays between Julia and Kris, then brings her around. Julia JAWBREAKERS free, then CLUBS Harley. Julia CHOPS Harley at the ropes, CHOPS her again, then fires forearms. The ref counts, Julia backs off, but then Julia whips Harley to ropes. Harley ducks ‘n ‘dodges, and DOUBLE LARIATS take them both down! The fans rally while Julia and Harley crawl, and Spring Breakthru returns to single picture as they hot tag Mone and Kris! The fans fire up as Mone CHOPS, knuckle locks and goes up, up, and FLYING ARM-DRAGS!
Mone does her dance, then runs corner to corner, DOUBLE KNEES! Mone reels Kris in, the fans rally, and Mone snap suplexes! That’s Una Amiga, and then Mone gets Kris up for Dos Amigas! then THREE AMIGAS! But Kris stops it before quatro! Harley makes the save, and she helps Mone, only for Kris to DOUBLE SUPLEX! Kris rolls through?! DOS DOUBLE SUPLEX! Kris rolls through again and THREE DOUBLE SUPLEX!! The fans are thunderous, we see Jamie Hayter watching backstage and applauding, and Kris puts Mone & Harley in the drop zone! Kris goes up, but Harley rolls with Mone to avoid the 450 Splash!
The fans fire up as Kris tags Julia while Mone and Harley seem to have a tender moment of friendship. Julia ruins the moment with a STANDING MOONSUALT! Julia then tilt-o-whirls Mone, but Mone stops that to RAM Julia into the corner! And then she puts Julia in the Tree of Woe for KNEE after KNEE after KNEE! Mone goes out, goes up, but Julia SPIDER SUPLEXES her away! Harley runs up, Julia sits up to then roll back, and she takes a swing! Harley reels Julia in for a NECKBREAKER! Kris kicks Harley, reels her in, and hits a NORTHERN LIGHTS BOMB! But then Mone METEORAS Kris! Julia stalks Mone, runs up, wrench and STO!
Julia puts Mone in the drop zone, goes back up the corner, and HART SAULTÂ gets KNEES! The fans fire up while Julia and Mone are both down! Julia and Mone stir, “This is Awesome!” as a standing count starts. Mone and Julia stir at about 4 of 10, crawl for their corners, hot tag to Kris! Kris fires off on Mone with forearms! Kris ROUNDHOUSES Mone, BLASTS Harley, and then runs up on Mone. Mone hooks her into the Gory Especial! Kris fights free, scoops Mone, but Mone kicks and flails! Kris’ legs give out, they both flop down, and the two fight on the mat. Kris powers up to her feet, but Harley tags in!
Harley brings Mone out of the gut wrench, but Kris hits the DISCUS LARIAT! Kris kicks, Mone blocks, and Mone KNEES Kris in return! Mone whips, Kris reverses, and Mone is sent into Julia’s TARANTULA!! But Harley rolls Kris up! TWO!! Mone is stuck as Kris scoops Harley and hits a BACKBREAKER! Then Kris cording holds Harley’s arm, kisses the bicep, and hits the Hayterade?! Cover, Kris & Julia win!
Winner: Kris Statlander & Julia Hart, by pinfall
That wasn’t just the game winner Kris hit on Harley, it was a message sent to Jamie! Luther helps Toni Storm to the ring so she can applaud Kris, and even blow a kiss! Will Kris go Double or Nothing with Mone to then go All In with Toni? Or will Kris feel a Hayterade from the source?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to not just wrap Spring Breakthru but to keep things going immediately from last night. Very good promo from The Opps after their win, and some great stuff with The Death Riders for once. The Death Riders throwing a fit was good stuff, and Moxley had a good promo to call out Samoa Joe. Moxley wants his match with Samoa Joe, that’s a great detail in itself, and that is going to be a great match for Double or Nothing. Claudio stepping up to Adam Cole’s Open Challenge was also cool, and that was a great match. Cole surviving was a good touch, especially with how it just pissed Claudio off more.
Very good promo from Bill & Keith, and it feels very obvious that Keith will betray Bill to side with Jericho. We will get Bill VS Jericho, Keith will screw Bill, but then something will happen where Bill gets his rematch and wins over Jericho in the end. Really good “letter” from FTR to keep up their passive aggressive nature, and you can bet they’ll just do all the same things again next week when they’re back. Great to see LFI back in full force, but let’s just hope they actually get going this time around. There could even be some interesting intertwining of stories if LFI challenge for the trios titles at Double or Nothing, putting Joe in a double header situation since he’ll face Moxley for the world title.
Good promo from Top Flight with Cru to hype up next week’s Collision. But does every post-basketball Collision need a nickname? And as nicknames go, “Playoff Palooza” sounds more like a promotional deal run at a supermarket or car dealership. Really good stuff from the Don Callis Family tonight. Great match from Knight VS Archer and a great win for Knight. Knight and Speedball have a good promo with Ricochet, and a match of Knight VS Ricochet would be awesome, I hope we see it before Knight’s off for Best of the Super Juniors.
Great tag match of Alexander & Takeshita VS Ishii & Rocky, and I should’ve realized watching ROH Prelude to Spring Breakthru was teasing something for tonight. Rocky was salty over that loss there, and then he got even saltier during this match. Great to see Trent back, and now Roppongi Vice is Don Callis Family! They can be the tag team of the faction while Konosuke, Kyle Fletcher and now Josh Alexander all go for singles titles. Awesome ROH World Television Championship match from Komander and Nick Wayne, and again to my surprise, the Prelude foreshadowed stuff. Nick brought momentum into this match, he won this title, and unless he loses it back to Komander at like Supercard of Honor, he probably will bring the title to NJPW BOSJ.
Another great handicap match win for Megan Bayne, but she’ll still be spinning her wheels until after Double or Nothing with all this other stuff going on. Great promo from Mone, Harley & Mini Mone before their main event tag match, and same for Kris having a good promo with Jamie Hayter. That was of course a great match, and Kris winning using Jamie’s finisher was wild. I feel like with Toni Storm paying more attention to Kris, that’s a sign Kris is beating Jamie to face Mone at Double or Nothing. It’s still anyone’s guess who wins the Cup, because Toni VS Kris and Toni VS Mone are both great matches.
