The NXT Tag Team Champions, accompanied by Thea Hail & Jacy Jayne, are bombarded with questions about the allegations.

They head out and Duke wants everyone to make sure “NXT Tag Team Champions” is included in that. But this match kicks us off, will Chase & Duke be able to focus with this all in the background?

The Don exposing the scandal turns out well for him and Stacks! They have the titles back, but what about Chase U? Will they ever recover from this?
Lita speaks.
“Hey, NXT Universe. WWE Hall of Famer, Lita, here, and I know that you’ve all been waiting on my picks for this week’s Iron Survivor qualifying matches heading into NXT Deadline. Shawn Michaels has given me the power to do a little matchmaking. In the ring.” But first, the women’s division! So many incredible choices, and since the beginning, the NXT Women’s Division has been making waves and elevating what it means to be a woman in this business. Every week, the women show out, so for Lita, top of that list is Roxanne Perez. But can the Prodigy win the Iron Survivor all over again? She’ll have to make it past a woman who has everything it has to make that next big step. Meta Four’s Lash Legend! Lita loves the contrast of styles and strategies.
As for the men, well c’mon! How do you not pick Trick Williams? He has been on fire, and he already knows he has a bull’s eye on his back. Did Melo attack? Was it Lexis King? Who knows. But what Lita knows is that he is her number one pick, going up against a man who is tough as nails: Joe Coffey! If the Iron King can make this a slug fest, then Trick is in trouble. But Lita cannot wait to see how extreme these matches get tonight, and good luck to them all.
The Meta Four arrives.
Speaking of Lash, she is with Jakara Jackson, Oro Mensah and of course the NXT Heritage Cup Champion, Noam Dar. They’re all headed to gorilla, because tonight is an all new edition of the Supernova Sessions.
Baron Corbin finds Dominik Mysterio backstage.
Corbin says Dom is doing it again. He watched Raw, Judgment Day got it done last night, too, they’re keeping all the gold. Dom says yeah, that’s how they do. But Corbin might get gold of his own. Yeah, Corbin is gonna put it on Ilja at Deadline, but tonight, he’s got Wes Lee. Dom says Wes just won’t go away. Oh, he goes away, cuz he’s a quitter. But the problem is that Wes keeps coming back. Wes has been using a clipboard and crayon to write a little list like he was writing to Santa Claus or something. But Corbin’s gonna add something to that list: A trip to the hospital. Dom likes that, and he’ll be watching. Let him know if he can be of help.
Corbin says he’s good. Not sure if Dom’s noticed, but Corbin’s been tearing it up. Dom says yeah, he has. Corbin appreciates the offer, though. They fist bump, Dom heads out, and we’ll just have to see if Mr. No More BS is going to keep his word.
It’s an all-new Supernova Sessions.
Noam Dar is in the ring with Meta Four and says “Hello, hello, hello! Hear me now! Welcome to another edition of Supernova Sessions, live in the USAAAAA~!” And tonight is special. Oro says tell ’em! Dar says tonight, we witness the #BougieBully, Lash Legend, vie for the Iron Survivor at NXT Deadline. Lash says you already know, it is time for her to #LashOut, okay? And tonight’s guests are worthy of this spotlight, but Dar is taking extreme security measures to make sure no CRIMINALS touch his Heritage Cup. Without further ado, please welcome The Alpha Academy. Fans cheer as Chad Gable leads the way for Otis, Maxxine Dupri & Akira Tozawa, “A THANK YEW~!”
Dar points to the folding chairs and bottled water. That’s for the guests, the hosts get the comfy couch and sparkling cider. Dar welcomes the Academy, and says the Academy has already done so much together. They’re beloved by the WWE Universe, that must be nice. But is this the most amazing thing they’ve ever done? Being this close to the Modern Day Mona Lisa, Dar’s Heritage Cup? Gable says first, A THANK YEW~ for having them here on Supernova Sesh. And that is a beautiful cup. But Dar is also pretty lucky to still have it. Jakara says luck ain’t got a damn thing to do with it, Dar is simply the greatest Heritage Cup Campeon there is.
Dar says Miss Jackson only deals in facts. And the fact is, Tozawa had the place rocking. He came so close. But when it comes to championship rounds, there are levels to this game, and this is Dar’s game. Tozawa says no no no. You take away Meta Four, and Dar’s cup would be Tozawa’s! The fans cheer and Otis says, “You tell ’em, Tozawa-san!” Lash skirts the breaks, and says tell them nothing! The Meta Four did nothing wrong. Dar is keeping his Heritage Cup on lock, the same as she’s qualifying for that Iron Survivor Challenge. Otis says that what Miss Lash says is good in his book, okay? Ew, nuh-uh!
Otis says Lash can say anything she wants to him, baybay~! The hips are going! Dar has everyone stop! EW! EW! EW! Otis, bad. Fans cheer Otis on, though, but Dar wants to stick to topics. This is gross. The Heritage Cup is his cup! Tozawa wants Dar to admit the truth but Oro tells the “foolish boy” to watch himself. Just stick to your stupid dance! Maxxine says do NOT speak to Tozawa that way. Jakara says Oro can speak however he wants! That’s why he’s Main Man Mensah! Oro does his version of the Tozawa shuffle, but Gable says, “SHOOOOOSH~! Shoosh please.”
Now, Dar has a point. He’s synonymous with the Heritage Cup. Isn’t he a three-time champion? Dar says yes, absolutely. And Gable needs to understand that there is no one who can beat Dar! NXT had to do a Global Invitational just to find him a contender! There’s no one who understands how tough it is at the top. Gable admits, that does sound tough. Yes, if only they could walk a mile in these $1000 shoes of his. Gable wants to make Dar’s life easy. Don’t look anywhere, don’t go anywhere. The next challenger is right here. Right? Otis?!
Dar laughs, and wants us to hold on. If this person doesn’t want to do the match tonight given what Shinsuke did to him, Dar would understand. In fact, Dar is so giving, he’ll make it for next week. But please, tell us more about the challenger. Maxxine will. He’s got a big gas tank that can go go go, and a huge appetite for destruction. And the hips don’t lie, they lift 1000 pounds! Dar still mocks Otis, but then the list continues. Dar’s challenger is a former Olympian, a former NXT Tag Team Champion, a former Raw Tag Team Champion! Oh, and a former SmackDown Tag Team Champion! Dar freaks out now! This is HIS show, play that funky music! Security!!
Otis says no takebacks, Dar! The next challenger to the Heritage Cup is… CHAD GABLE!! They suckered him! Dar rushes up, but into a HEADBUTT! Dar is dazed, and now the Academy does the Tozawa shuffle! That’s naaaaaasty~! But will Gable make things bitter for Meta Four next week? And what about Lash having to focus on her qualifier? That match is up next!
Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifier: Roxanne Perez VS Lash Legend!
The Prodigy is the inaugural Iron Survivor for the Women’s Division, but she’s up against a literally tall order just to get back in it. Will Roxie do Lita proud? Or can the #BougieBully bully her way into a big opportunity?
The bell rings, the two tie up, and Lash SLAMS Roxie! Lash pie faces Roxie around, scoops her but Roxie slips out to headlock. Lash powers up to put Roxie in a corner but Roxie kicks off the corner. Lash back suplexes, Roxie lands on her feet and then dodges the boot! Roxie returns to tilt-o-whirl but Lash stops the DDT! So Roxie swings the other way to ghost pin! TWO!! Roxie ROCKS Lash, CHOPS Lash, but Lash clamps on with both hands! Lash TOSSES Roxie to a corner, but Roxie BOOTS back! Roxie goes up to leap, FLYIGN SUNSET FLIP! Lash flails, goes Matrix, and smiles as she stands up. Lash YANKS Roxie up, but Roxie arm-drags!
Roxie BOOTS Lash out of the ring, but Dar distracts her. Roxie runs, Jakara trips her, but the ref saw it! Lash CLOBBERS Roxie, but then the ref EJECTS Meta Four! Fans fire up as Meta Four gets what they deserve! Lash freaks out, Roxie rolls her up, ONE!! Lash runs up to BOOT Roxie down! Fans taunt Dar with “HEY HEY HEY! GOODBYE~!” Lash dribbles Roxie off the mat, scoops her, then SLAMS her! And then scoops to SLAM her again! Lash looms over Roxie, then drops an ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Roxie hangs tough, but Lash pushes her around. Roxie throws hands in return! Fans rally and Roxie dropkicks a leg out!
Roxie fires forearm son Lash, then runs, but into a scoop! Torture rack! Lash thrashes Roxie, but Roxie pops around to a GUILLOTINE! Lash fights out, but Roxie throws hands! Lash RAMS Roxie into buckles! Lash gets space, runs back in, but Roxie moves! Lash POSTS herself and falls to the floor! Roxie builds speed and she DIVES! Direct hit and down goes Lash! Fans fire up, Roxie puts Lash in fast, and then Roxie goes up top! CROSSBODY! Roxie keeps moving, she wheelbarrows and VICTORY FACEBUSTERS! Cover, TWO!? Lash survives but Roxie just snarls. Roxie drags Lash up, throws hands, but Lash rises.
Lash scoops Roxie again, swings her, BACKBREAKER! Roxie writhes, Lash gets space again. Lash runs, cartwheels, but Roxie avoids the moonsault! Roxie gets in a corner, but Jakara returns! The ref argues with her, but Kiana James anchors Roxie in the corner! Lash BOOTS Roxie down!! Fans boo as Kiana runs away. Lash then choke grips Roxie, to CHOKE BOMB!! Cover, Lash wins!
Winner: Lash Legend, by pinfall (advances to NXT Deadline)
The Calculator’s grudge against Roxie helps Lash make it through! Will the Meta Four make the most of this by making sure Lash is the Iron Survivor?
The various tag teams of NXT are watching.
Tank Ledger says he wants to do what Tony D & Stacks just did. Become two time tag champs? Hank ‘n’ Tank still need the first. No, Tank means take it to the next level. Those two are at the top of their game, Tank wants to get there. Axiom says that there may be new tag champions tonight, but next week, we might see a new Heritage Cup Champion. Brooks Jensen says that’s a good point. And the Country Boys need to keep their eyes on the belts. Hey, Briggs, what’s going on? He’s on his phone with something. Edris Enofe says new tag champs or not, there can be new #1 contenders, and that should be him and Malik!
But in walk Angel Garza & Humberto Carrillo, laughing at them all. The world doesn’t wanna see anything from you guys. They couldn’t even catch a break if they bought one. Oh, really? Edris has some money. But then in walk the champs, bragging about becoming two time champs. But uh, they still got some business to handle. For now, they have the titles. Garza says to enjoy this now, it won’t last long. Tony says hold on. The last time we saw the former Lotharios, they were losing to the Creeds, getting put through tables. NEXT. Frazer says Tony’s got ’em there. Cousin Angie says the demands can wait. Next week, we celebrate!
Tony, Stacks & Angie head out, the contenders go back to arguing, and they start shoving! The others keep this from escalating, will Edris & Malik catch that break at the expense of Garza & Carrillo?
Lyra Valkyria watches tape of Xia Li.
She has some of the coaches with her to point out the lethal quality of those strikes. That’s a lot of power in those kicks, and they can hit from just about anywhere. If Lyra is gonna walk out of here with both the title and her head on her shoulders, she’s gotta watch out. Wait, they got an email from her? It’s a digital invitation to a… warrior tea ceremony for tonight? Well, Lyra’s gonna go, but they’ll finish watching film. Will the Morrigan be ready for whatever the Exterminator is planning?
Lyra arrives at the tea ceremony.
Xia welcomes her, and says before she sits, please put this on. Lyra sets the belt down to take the coat and put it on. Xia says this is tradition. Well thank you. She’s never been to anything like this before. The Warrior Tea Ceremony is very important. It is how Xia’s ancestors honored their opponents before the combat. Xia bows, and Lyra copies. A deep bow shows a deep respect. Well, respect isn’t something Lyra expected from Xia. Xia offers her a seat, and Lyra sits. Xia sits across from her, and says her warrior spirit has come alive these last few months. Xia wants to be noticed. She accomplished that.
But Xia wants to be sure they’re on an even battlefield when they fight for the title. Lyra can do that if Xia can. Xia says that just as she chose Lyra, they must choose the right tea leaves for their drink. Xia picked the leaves, and sets them in the pot. Then you pour the water in to transform the leaves. This represents what is happening to them during the match. Tea must brew at the correct temperature for the correct amount of time. If not, then it will be ruined. So the leaves are more delicate than they look. Xia says overtime, the leaves cannot stand the heat. They break down and crumble. And that happens next Tuesday, when Xia is the one who consumes Lyra.
The tea is poured into cups, and Xia says Lyra may consume the tea. Xia sips, but Lyra respectfully declines. If she does not, then Xia will show no remorse in their battle. Lyra says so be it. Next week, may the strongest warrior win. They both stand, and bow again. Lyra takes her title and leaves, but will she withstand the heat that is coming for her?
Backstage interview with Trick Williams & Carmelo Hayes.
McKenzie Mitchell is with Trick Melo Gang, and wants to address the elephant in the room. Melo got hit by Trick, but Trick says hold on. Don’t instigate. They talked it out. Melo knows that wasn’t on purpose. But if tables were turned, it would’ve been Trick who got hit instead. So understand, accidents happen. Right, dawg? Melo says yeah. But last week, they were here on this exact spot and Melo told McKenzie and the world that he did not attack Trick. The lie detector determined he was telling the truth. What lie detector? Melo says that to answer things, yeah, it got heated. But the beef is squashed. Accidents happen.
And another thing! Trick doesn’t know what Lexis King is playing, but he got the right ones today. King will get his, but tonight, Trick gets his spot in the Iron Survivor Challenge. Gallus will be ringside, so Melo will have Trick’s back. Feels good to be back on the same team. They shake hands, and Trick heads out. Melo follows behind, will Trick whoop the Iron King?
Kiana walks into the NXT Women’s Division locker room.
And she brags that that is how you get things done! Roxie won’t win the Iron Survivor because now she isn’t in it. Right, Kiana couldn’t beat her last year, can’t beat her this year. Good job. Y’know what, Gigi! Uh, Roxie did deserve it. Yeah, didn’t you see Kiana’s forehead after that Halloween Havoc match? Karmen Petrovic steps up but Arianna Grace freaks out. Karmen has no right to speak! She still hasn’t apologized for last week! But when you follow your heart, you can never go wrong. How delusional is Arianna? Gigi, apologies, but do you need help understanding what she said? She has tons of experience helping the less fortunate and less educated.
Then let’s hope Arianna has experience in getting her ass kicked because that is what is happening tonight. Gigi heads out, and Arianna asks why things always have to end in a fight. Will things get ugly for the Beauty Queen tonight?
Backstage interview with Bron Breakker.
McKenzie asks him about last week, getting the win over Von Wagner, but not standing tall. Does he have any remorse for what he’s been putting Von and Robert Stone through? No, absolutely not. What Bron did is what he does best, and that is hurt people. He’s the Badass of NXT, and the result is always the same! He breaks everyone. So what’s that mean for his future? Dijak walks in and says that is a great question: What is next for Bron? Dijak would say uncertain, but for him it is clear. While Bron was picking splinters out of his ass, Dijak qualified for the Iron Survivor Challenge.
Bron chuckles and says Dijak has the nerve to talk to him like that when their paths haven’t even crossed. Oh, but they might. See, Jerry Lawler or JBL might give Bron a qualifier, so- Bron stops him there. They don’t want Bron in that match, he promises. Dijak says he’s the one guy who does, because he’s the one guy Bron can’t break. If Bron does qualify, just stay out of his way. If not, Bron will make Dijak beg for retribution. Bron heads out, will #MeanerThanEvil actually be able to defy #HardJustice?
Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifier: Trick Williams w/ Carmelo Hayes VS Joe Coffey w/ Gallus!
NXT returns and Trick Melo Gang make their entrance. Fans chant “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” and Trick says he needs this win. Will he get this win when The Iron King is just as desperate to get to the NXT Championship?
The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, but then break. They tie up again with knuckle locks, and are still pretty even. Joe steps over to bend Trick back, but Trick bridges to stay up! Trick fights up and he bends Joe back! Joe knees low, scoops and SLAMS, then he drags Trick up. Joe armlocks and he grinds Trick down. Trick rolls, wrenches but Joe gets free. They go again, Joe has an arm but Trick wrenches to headlock. Joe powers out, Trick goes up and over and then scoops Joe to SLAM! Joe gets up bug into another scoop and SLAM! Trick DROPKICKS Joe down and fans fire up!
Trick stands Joe up, wrenches and whips, but Joe stops himself to UPPERCUT! Joe runs in and runs Trick over! Things keep moving, Joe avoids the hurdle but Trick catches the uppercut! Joe fights the backslide to try it himself. Trick fights that, fans rally, but Joe spins Trick. Trick dodges to pop-up HAYMAKER! Joe falls out of the ring and the fans fire up with Trick! Melo nods, Trick goes out but Gallus stands in the way. So Trick fires off on Mark Coffey & Wolfgang! Joe DECKS Trick and talks trash! Melo tells Gallus to back off, but Joe puts Trick in the ring. Joe runs up but Trick hits back! They brawl and fans rally up.
Trick and Joe trade elbows but Joe has the edge. Joe snapmares, covers, TWO! Joe clamps onto Trick’s ear, then the arm. Trick endures so Joe knees him in the back and pulls on both ears. The ref reprimands but Joe ELBOWS Trick in the head! Joe clamps back onto the arm but Trick fights up. Fans rally, Trick throws hands, and then runs. Joe dodges and runs back in to clothesline Trick up and out! Wolfie talks some trash as NXT goes to break.
NXT returns and the hands fly! Joe bobs ‘n’ weaves, ROCKS and whips, then he whips again to send Trick back into the corner. Then a scoop and BACKBREAKER! Joe pushes Trick down, to then handstand and SENTON! Cover, TWO! Joe drags Trick up but the fans rally. Joe KNEES Trick, fishhooks and stretches him, but Trick endures. Fans rally as Joe puts Trick in a half straitjacket. Trick fights up but Joe RAMS him! And RAMS him! And runs Trick over! Joe drags Trick up again, but Trick reels Joe in for a back drop! Fans fire up as Trick stands, storms up but Joe HOTSHOTS him! Joe runs up again but Trick dodges to JUMPING NECKBREAKER!
Fans fire up while both men are down, and Melo coaches Trick. Trick and Joe stand, and Trick fires hands! Joe hits back, they go back and forth! Fans are on Trick’s side but Joe fires off body shots! Joe scoops and SLAMS, then he covers, TWO! Joe is annoyed but he clamps onto Trick’s arm again. Trick endures and the fans rally back up. Trick stands, whips Joe but Joe reverses. Trick ducks ‘n’ dodges to FLYING LARIAT! Both men are down, the fans rally up again, and Trick throws hands! Trick DECKS Joe, then fires off on the ropes, BIG uppercut! Trick whips, Joe reverses but Trick FLYING LARIATS again!
Trick keeps moving, LEG LARIAT! And then a FLAPJACK! Trick roars and the fans are with him! Trick lets the hair down, and he has the arm, cartwheel ripcord, but Joe fights the lift! Joe HEADBUTTS, Trick wobbles, and Joe swings, into the BOOKEND! Cover, TWO!! Booker T can’t believe it! Mark Coffey gets up, Trick DECKS him! Wolfie tries, Melo has his foot! Trick runs up, now Melo gets Wolfgang down, and that causes Trick to tumble up and out! Accidents happen, but what was this? Melo helps Trick get up, but Joe DIVES! Melo gets away so Trick takes the tope! Was that an accident?
Fans boo as Joe aims, GLASGOW SENDOFF!! And then a GERMAN SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!! Trick survives and fans fire up! Joe runs, ALL THE BEST- TRICK KNEE!! Trick covers, Trick wins!!
Winner: Trick Williams, by pinfall (advances to NXT Deadline)
Melo smiles, it all worked out in the end. At least, it did, didn’t it? Trick goes on to the Iron Survivor Challenge, will Melo join him? Or will it be up to Trick to whoop everybody?
Wes Lee looks around backstage.
He feels tonight might finally be easy, but then Ilja Dragunov appears from outta nowhere. Wes tells him not to just be jumping out like that. Dragunov apologizes, but Wes says hold on. Glad he caught Dragunov. Wes congratulates Dragunov on finally being NXT Champion. Dragunov thanks him for that, and finally welcomes him back. We all know their last match was the “catalyst” for Wes taking time off, and Wes admits that’s right. But water under the bridge, and Wes kinda needed that time off. Wes is back, he has plenty on the agenda, and it all starts with Baron Corbin.
Dragunov appreciates that Wes enjoys Dragunov’s art of combat, so Dragunov will return the favor. Dragunov will watch that match, but asks that Wes please leave him a piece of Corbin leftover. Oh, Wes will think about it. But watch out for all these other guys doing the same as Corbin, doing anything and everything they can just to get their hands on Dragunov and the title. Oh, Dragunov is aware. But does that warning include Wes? Nah, he has other plans. They fist bump and Wes heads out. Then if the Cardiac Kid isn’t after the NXT Champion, who is he after?
Lexis King finds Baron Corbin backstage.
And Corbin says, “Look who it is, the talk of NXT.” King says “Guilty as charged.” Corbin gives King credit, that is how you make a name for yourself. Taking out Trick? That was a big move. King always knew he’d be a major player in the game, and now the rest of the world agrees. Corbin says he can’t disagree. And how King did it without getting caught, that is also impressive. How’d he do it? King chuckles. How’d he do it? That’s the million dollar question. But all he has to say is, mission accomplished. Yes, it is. And King sees Corbin is in the main event. Good luck and enjoy the spotlight. King will be watching. So wait, is King the one? Or is he just taking credit for it?
The Brawling Brutes VS Out The Mud w/ SCRYPTS!
Ridge Holland & Pete Dunne gave Lucien Price & Bronco Nima a warning last week that just because the streets don’t look the same doesn’t mean they’re any different. Four scrappers who have had to fight to survive now fight to move up the ranks! Will the Northern Grit & Bruiserweight rise up? Or will it be Scrypts’ crew that gets #OutTheMud?
NXT returns and OTM make their entrance. The teams sort out and Dunne starts against Price. Dunne CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Price shoves back, ELBOWS Dunne down, and storms up on him. Dunne CHOPS again! Dunne wrenches, bends fingers, and he wrangles Price to an armlock. Dunne isolates the arm to STOMP it! Price writhes and flounders away but Dunne basement dropkicks him down! Nima helps Price up but Ridge gets in. The Brutes dare OTM to do something, OTM takes a swing, but they both miss! The Brutes hook OTM up on the ropes, for DOUBLE BEATS OF THE BODHRAIN!
The fans count along, but OTM block at nine! They DUMP Ridge and HOTSHOT Dunne! Nima then APRON CHOKE SLAMS Ridge! Nima talks trash, and Price STOMPS Dunne down! Fans boo but OTM talk trash and soak up the heat. Price rains down forearms on Dunne, drags him up and put him in the corner. Tag to Nima, and Nima runs up to STOMP Dunne down! Scrypts says this is too easy! Nima talks trash on Ridge, then sucker punches him! Nima goes to Dunne, HEADBUTTS him, and Dunne ends up on ropes. Nima CHOKES Dunne by standing on him, then lets off as the ref counts. Nima argues with the ref, and Scrypts DRIVE-BY DROPKICKS!
Fans boo but Scrypts says he’s too smart. Nima covers Dunne, TWO! Nima drags Dunne up, ROCKS him with a forearm, and then storms up on Dunne. Tag to Price. Nima holds Dunne in place and Price runs up to clothesline! Price shoves Dunne down, tag to Nima, and they throw hands to mug Dunne. Nima ROCKS Dunne, but Dunne SLAPS back! Dunne DECKS Price, BOOTS Nima, and runs up, SATELLITE DDT! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Dunne crawls, as does Nima, hot tags to Ridge and Price! Ridge CLOBBERS Price again and again, then eggs Nima on, Nima falls for it and Ridge runs him over!
Ridge SPLASHES Price in a corner, whips him corner to corner, then SPLASHES again! And then again! Ridge roars, “C’mon, Sunshine!” Scoop and swing, SIDE SLAM! Cover, TWO! Price survives, but Ridge pumps up. The fans rally and Ridge takes off the elbow pad! Ridge runs up, but into a SUPERKICK! Dunne tags in as Ridge rebounds, but Price SLAMS Ridge! Dunne ENZIGURIS Price! But Price back suplexes Dunne onto Ridge! Tag to Nima, he and Price get Dunne up, GOURD BUSTER KNEE COMBO! Cover, TWO!! Dunne survives and Nima is furious. Nima drags Dunne up, choke grips and CHOKE- ENZIGURI!
Fans fire up as Dunne GAMANGIRIS Price! Dunne BOOTS Nima down! Fans fire up again as Dunne goes up the corner! But Nima is right up after him! Nima fires hands, but Dunne bends those fingers! SNAP!! Nima is stuck up top now as Dunne sunset flips! Nima holds on, so Ridge tags in. Dunne hurries as Ridge CLUBS away on Nima. Dunne MOONSAULTS to take out Price and Scrypts! Ridge POWERBOMBS Nima, then tags Dunne back in! They get Nima up, LONDON TOWER!! Cover, Brutes win!
Winners: The Brawling Brutes, by pinfall
A powerful fight from both teams, but Dunne & Ridge prove they’ve got that grit! Will they be rolling towards tag title opportunities before the Deadline? Will Scrypts and his boys have to go back to the drawing board for this one?
Joe Gacy speaks.
He stands atop the roof as he says, “I’ve been wandering aimlessly, like a man lost in the desert, looking for the last drop of water that doesn’t exist. I’ve paid attention to the messages rather than the people listening, but that’s just me. I’m like a ghost wandering the halls of NXT, trying to find my place, my purpose. And on nights like tonight, I can feel the energy of the people below me reverberate up through my feet. The same people that label me and try to put me into occupied spaces because I seem like I’m somebody familiar to them. But I’m just me. Nobody knows me. I don’t fit in. And this is where I get real.
“I’m not here to burn any ships, be the biggest dog in the yard and flip justice on anybody. I’m not obsessed with the spotlight, I’m me. And I’m here, right now. Unhinged? Maybe. Maniac? I’m not here to argue that. But this, this is where it begins. And this is where it ends. Maybe, this is where I let go. But then again, maybe it’s not.” Gacy throws the camera off the roof!! Is Gacy going to live on the edge until he’s finally on top of NXT?
Gigi Dolin VS Arianna Grace!
The Toxic Avenger told the Beauty Queen to get ready, and now the moment of truth is here. With time still on the clock, will someone prove themselves worthy of an Iron Survivor Qualifier?
NXT returns and Arianna makes her entrance. The bell rings and the fans rally behind Gigi. Gigi and Arianna circle, tie up, and Arianna arm-drags. Arianna cheers herself but fans are a bit torn. The two reset, tie up, and Gigi waistlocks to O’Conner Roll, TWO! Gigi teases Arianna and the two reset again. They tie up, Arianna knees low, then headlocks. Gigi powers out, follows, and runs Arianna over! Then arm-drags! Gigi has the armlock and the fans cheer. Arianna fights up, pulls hair, and puts Gigi on the ropes. Arianna whips, Gigi ducks ‘n’ dodges, and CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO!
Fans duel, Gigi runs up into a kick, Arianna DECKS her! Cover, TWO! Arianna grows frustrated and she drags Gigi up. Arianna whips, runs in and elbows in the corner! Then she snap suplexes Gigi down! Cover, TWO! Arianna drags Gigi up, whips her again, but Gigi dodges to roll her up this time! TWO, but Gigi turns Arianna to backslide! TWO, and Gigi cradles! TWO! Arianna runs up to ELBOW Gigi down! Arianna dribbles Gigi off the mat, then drags her up to throw her down! Arianna then drags Gigi into a cover, TWO! Arianna clamps onto a chinlock but the fans rally. Gigi endures, fights up, and pries at the hold. Arianna throws her down!
Arianna drops the elbow but Gigi avoids it! Gigi then runs up to RAM, UPPERCUT and ROCK Arianna! Then a KICK and a KNEE and down goes Arianna! Gigi roars, she rallies on Arianna with running forearms! Gigi wrenches to LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Arianna is still in this but Gigi runs in at the corner. Arianna dodges to send her into buckles! Backslide, feet on the ropes! The ref sees that and says no! Arianna begs him to understand, it was an accident! But Gigi ROUNDHOUSES, and then clinches for the FINAL NAIL! Cover, Gigi wins!
Winner: Gigi Dolin, by pinfall
Arianna did show her skills, but it just wasn’t enough to get away with one! Gigi has a big win, is she on the short list for Deadline?
NXT looks at the history of Robert Stone & Von Wagner.
A narrator says, “This story of a journey towards respect and friendship started with a simple photograph. Two men, Von Wagner & Mr. Stone, started their WWE careers on the same day. Total strangers, unknowing their lives would one day be connected. Initially, both found failure rather than success. With a common bond of rubbing people the wrong way, these two superstars joined forces. Trust was slowly being built with each passing mile traveled together. It was Stone who recognized the duo had plateaued and pushed for more. After multiple failed attempts, Von let his guard down and bared his soul to Mr. Stone, and the NXT Universe.
“Finally comfortable in his own skin, Von was confronted by a grown version of the same bullies Von faced as a child.” Bron Breakker brutalized Von, but supported by Stone, Von faced his fears head on. It was Stone’s willingness to go to battle for his friend that was the final confirmation to Von that Stone wasn’t just a friend, but he was family. Von may have lost the rematch with Bron, but the shattered table was enough. Two men who started on the same day shared a hug and showed us how far they’ve come, together.”
Von and Stone also watch this video package.
A lot of memories and history there. That is powerful stuff. Yeah, they’ve been through a lot. Von’s been meaning to say, but Stone says no problem. He’s welcome. Hey, is Von okay? Yeah, he’s fine. Why? Von is touching the surgery scar a lot, though. Stone invites Von over to dinner with the family. Von says if Mrs. Stone makes that pasta with the sausages, he will be there! He is down, two whole plates! Stone says good, he’ll put the call in. Okay, but easy on the asparagus. That is no joke. Please, cut those out. Asparagus sucks. But Von & Stone are becoming even closer now, will they take over NXT together, too?
Backstage interview with Eddy Thorpe.
McKenzie is with the Alpha Wolf, and says that while he has had a big rise this year, he hasn’t been on NXT in a few weeks. Where’s he been? Eddy says this year has been a trip. Last time we saw him was that strap match. Eddy may have won, but it depleted him, both physically and mentally. Eddy needed time to recharge and get outside, where he likes to be. Eddy is 100% and wants to show JBL and Jerry Lawler just who to pick for the Iron Survivor. But then in walks Drew Gulak, Charlie Dempsey & Myles Borne. Gulak says if Eddy thinks he’s 100%, and that he’s getting into the Iron Survivor, then he’s as deluded as Joe Gacy.
Dempsey tells Eddy that he will stretch Eddy in no time, showing no quarter. Eddy says that for years, the toughest men in the world have tried, but they’ve never broken him. Eddy is a fighter. Dempsey says that fighting spirit isn’t why he never got broken. It’s because he never got put to the test by people like Gulak’s crew. Eddy says we’ll just see about that. Will the Alpha Wolf show his Strong Style beats Dempsey’s technical savagery?
Media again swarms Andre Chase.
Chase says he is devastated that Chase U lost the tag team titles, but at this moment, he has no further comment. And then honk honk! Jacy Jayne drives up, Chase gets in, and they get out of there. Will they ever let Chase rest? Or will the questions only stop once we have answers?
Wes Lee VS Baron Corbin!
The Cardiac Kid has been called a quitter, mostly by Corbin, but if that were true, then Wes wouldn’t have come back at all. Will Wes show Corbin what it really means to be No BS? Or will Corbin build momentum towards the NXT Championship after burning this ship?
The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally behind Wes, the two tie up, but Wes gets around to fire body shots and fast hands! Corbin has boxing experience so he guards well, but Wes throws in some kicks, too! Wes corners Corbin, fires off more shots, the ref counts but Wes whips. Corbin reverses to YANK Wes down! Fans boo but Corbin stands Wes up to ROCK him! Wes stumbles and Corbin stands him up in a corner. Corbin CHOPS and Wes sputters! Corbin storms up again, whips corner to corner, but Wes comes back to RANA! And ENZIGURI! And DROPKICK! Wes keeps moving, basement dropkick! Cover, ONE!!
Wes keeps on Corbin with a facelock but Corbin fights up. Corbin powers his way to a suplex, BRAINBUSTER! Wes flounders, but Corbin runs to SENTON! Wes moves so Corbin crashes down! Wes gets up to BUZZSAW! Corbin flops over and sputters to ropes. Wes hurries to cover, ONE!! Corbin still has gas in the tank but Wes RAMS into him! Wes goes up and over, slides under and rolls to KANGAROO KICK! And then front KICK! And ENZIGURI! Corbin flops again and then bails out. The fans rally up, Wes builds speed and DIVES! But into a DEEP SIX to the floor! Fans boo but Corbin stands tall as NXT goes picture in picture.
Corbin snarls as he storms up on Wes. Corbin drags him up and whips Wes over barriers! The ref reprimands, Corbin goes back to where he left Wes, and he brings Wes up, only for Wes to ROCK him with haymakers! Wes leaps but Corbin catches him, and POSTS him! Corbin puts Wes in, covers, TWO! Corbin is annoyed but he storms back up on Wes. Corbin mocks the fans rallying for Wes, and then he drags Wes up to put in a corner. Corbin whips corner to corner hard, and Wes falls back! Cover, TWO! Corbin is annoyed again but he still mocks the fans. Corbin drags Wes up, but Wes throws body shots! And haymakers!
Wes runs, rolls, but Corbin stops that to fireman’s carry! But Wes shifts to crucifix takedown! TWO, and Corbin KNEES Wes low! Corbin storms up on Wes, drags him back and rains down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Then he clamps on a half nelson chinbar combo. NXT returns to single picture as the fans rally up, and Wes endures being thrashed around. Wes fights up and he throws body shots. Corbin knees low, whips Wes around in a circle, then short arm LARIATS! Corbin then stands over Wes, to rain down forearms! The fans boo but Corbin lets off with a smirk. Corbin drags Wes up to bump off buckles.
Corbin throws down more elbows! The ref counts, Corbin lets off to argue with him, and then Corbin goes back for Wes. Corbin ROCKS Wes with a forearm, then smothers him into the buckles as he throws down more elbows! The ref backs Corbin off, fans boo, but Corbin runs in. Wes dodges, Corbin POSTS himself! Wes fires off haymakers, Corbin clamps on both hands but Wes CLUBS free, clinches and throws KNEES! Corbin shoves Wes away but Wes returns to SHOTGUN! Corbin falls out of the ring! Fans fire up as Wes DIVES! Direct hit and they’re on the desk! Wes fires down furious fists and the fans love it!
Wes SMACKS Corbin off the desk, SUPERKICKS him, and fans rally for “NXT! NXT!” as Corbin staggers around the way. Wes runs to use the corner, 619!! Corbin ends up in the ring, Wes climbs a corner, and Wes MISSILE DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Wes is frustrated but he keeps on Corbin with hands and a sweep to the legs! Corbin ducks the buzzsaw but the DOUBLE STOMPS hit! Wes runs, into a fireman’s carry! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Corbin is furious but the fans fire up! Corbin drags Wes up, fans actually cheer him on, END OF- NO, Wes slips free, runs in, but into a tilt-o-whirl BACKBREAKER!
Wes gets up?! Wes rebounds to ROLLING KICK! Corbin rebounds to BOOT! Both men fall back and fans fire up again! Corbin storms over to Wes, drags him to a drop zone, and he goes up the corner?! But Wes ROCKS Corbin first! Wes throws more hands, but Corbin shoves him. So Wes GAMANGIRIS Corbin down to the ground! Fans fire up, Wes builds speed again, and Wes FLIES, onto Dom!? Dirty Dom took the hit for Corbin, and fans boo. Wes fires off on Dom for getting involved when he’s not wanted! The ring count is climbing, though, and Wes hurries back in! Wes beats the count, but runs into END OF DAYS!! Cover, Corbin wins!
Winner: Baron Corbin, by pinfall
Dirty Dom did Wes dirty, but now Corbin rains down fists! Corbin is a sore winner, but here comes Dragunov! Fans fire up as Dragunov slides in, gets around, and GERMAN SUPLEXES Corbin! Fans join in for “UN! BE! SIEG! BAR!” TORPEDO- END OF DAYS?!? Corbin stands tall over the Mad Dragon, then smothers the belt into his face! Fans boo but Corbin is the most fired up he’s ever been! But speaking of fired up, Dragunov is furious as he gets a mic to shout “BARON! BARON! You have made a grave mistake. And now you need to live with those consequences. You want an NXT Championship match so bad, huh? YOU GOT IT!!”
Fans fire up and Dragunov says, “I’ll see you at Deadline!!” The match is made, but will the Mad Dragon’s flames be what burns the ships? Or will this Baron dethrone the Czar to finally become NXT Champion?
My Thoughts:
A great NXT with so much going on, but one major gripe to me. Why did Chase U have to lose the tag titles so soon? They only won these back at Halloween Havoc Night One, and that was three weeks ago. Plus, this Chase U scandal story only started recently, they should’ve held the titles a little longer to really add to the drama. Though, what even is the drama? I must’ve missed when they said it on screen, but what scandal is this? Recruiting for Chase U? Financial? Can’t be sexual, that’s too close to Vince McMahon’s real life scandal. But I do appreciate Jacy helping him out at the end. Could something be developing between those two?
But Tony & Stacks winning the titles back does help motivate the rest of the tag division in that promo we saw. We’re going to get great stuff out of Edris & Malik VS Garza & Carrillo, but with The Creeds now on Raw, it makes me feel that Garza & Carrillo should’ve won the TLC match all the more. How can they get back into the tag title scene when they first lost to Chase & Duke in the Bada Bing Battle Royal, and then lost to Julius & Brutus on their way out? Almost makes their gimmick makeover seem pointless now. But even then, if Tony & Stacks got the belts back now, that must mean they’re retaining through Deadline.
There was great throughlines of stories to help with the Deadline qualifiers, too. Supernova Sessions was a lot of fun, and I liked the swerve pulled on Dar. I also thought Otis was gonna be next up after last week, and so Alpha Academy used that to their advantage, and now Gable is going to have a match with Nakamura on Raw and the Heritage Cup match with Dar on NXT. That is a big week for Gable, and sadly I think he’s losing both. Though, maybe Otis will still get his shot at NXT Deadline or something, no idea. And then Lash VS Roxie was good stuff, but I should’ve known between Meta Four and Kiana James that Roxie would get screwed.
Kiana bragging to the locker room got things stirred up and we got a solid match from Gigi VS Arianna. Gigi wins, of course, but Arianna does a good job with character work. There is a very good chance Gigi is in a qualifier, and I am sure Kiana will still get a qualifier, too, for Roxie to return the favor and keep her from moving on. We also got a good promo from Trick Melo Gang where it still feels like Melo is the one whodunnit. But he plays it off well, and there were great moments during Trick VS Joe Coffey where Melo half did and half didn’t help Trick against Gallus. Lexis King was definitely just wanting to take credit for the attack if it helps his clout, but it’s gotta be Melo.
Brutes VS OTM was a great match, and Brutes winning really surprised me. At the same time, Brutes took a loss to Pretty Deadly, and Dunne definitely wasn’t the one taking a loss in this. HHH and HBK both really like Dunne, I’m just not sure where this story goes from here. I suppose a stipulation based rematch would be in order, it’s exactly what the Brutes did with Pretty Deadly. Good promos from Lyra, both with the coaches watching film and with Xia in the tea ceremony. Lyra VS Xia is going to be intense, even for a title match on TV, but I would think Lyra wins. Xia’s gonna have a rough week just like Gable, losing to Becky on Raw and then Lyra on NXT.
Good promo from Eddy with Gulak’s guys, though I wonder where Kemp is right now. Eddy VS Dempsey is going to be really good but I feel like Eddy’s gonna need allies against Gulak’s group. Maybe he can call upon Briggs & Jensen? Great video for Von & Stone, and good little promo from them. Good promo from Bron and Dijak, and that has to tease that Bron gets in on the qualifiers. And while somewhat controversial, Joe Gacy gave us the best promo of his NXT career. Without saying it, he made sure to tell us he isn’t like Bray Wyatt, he isn’t like Corbin or the members of The Shield (Ambrose/Moxley specifically). And then throwing the camera off the roof, what a wild way to finish! At this point, Gacy has to be in the Iron Survivor, and he might even win.
And good stuff going into tonight’s main event. Good promo from Dom and Corbin to plant the seed for that interference, and good promo from Wes and Dragunov to keep in mind that Wes will want the North American Championship back. Wes VS Dom has been set up through their interaction, and Corbin wins both the match and the brawl to give us that match for Deadline. Corbin is doing great work to where the fans are appreciating him, but I still say Dragunov retains in his first defense against someone that isn’t Melo.
My Score: 8.9/10

Six Man Tag: PAC, Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia VS Jay Lethal, Adam Priest & Tommy Billington!
Blood & Guts 2025 was the most brutal one yet, and yet the most brutal faction in AEW lost! The Bastard, The Decoder & The Red Death want to take out their anger, but will they be standing tall after this Collision? Or will The Franchise Player, #AllGenresAdam & The Dynamite Kid just add insult to injury?
Garcia gets into it with Matt Menard during the entrance, and then Garcia SLAPS the headset off of Daddy Magic! The fans cheer Menard on as he throws hands with Garcia! Nigel & Schiavone do their best to stay back, Pac & Yuta tell Garcia to leave Menard alone, they’ve got the match to worry about. Garcia stops, Lethal’s team makes their entrance, will they make Garcia pay for bullying Menard?
Jon Moxley, of all people, takes Menard’s seat at commentary while the teams sort out. But then they don’t and the Death Riders rush Team Lethal! Priest LARIATS Garcia and puts him in a corner while Lethal & Tommy brawl with Yuta & Pac! Then Priest LARIATS in a corner, Lethal adds a LARIAT of his own, then they feed Garcia to Tommy’s BACKDROP! Priest keeps on Garcia in a corner and rains down fists! The fans count but Garcia shoves Priest away at 7. Priest DROPKICKS Garcia, Pac tags in, and Priest arm-drags! Tag to Lethal, they mug Pac, and then Lethal whips. Pac ducks to waistlock, Lethal switches to shove, hip toss, and handspring DROPKICK!
Moxley’s headset finally works, and he sarcastically says, “Oh my gosh, what an unfortunate situation that was.” Lethal covers, ONE, but Lethal drags Pac back up. Pac KNEES low, tags Yuta, but Lethal arm-drags Yuta! The fans cheer Lethal as he drags Yuta over, tag to Tommy. They double whip Yuta, Garcia tags in, Yuta still takes DOUBLE ELBOWS! Garcia CLOBBERS Tommy and soaks up the heat as fans boo. Garcia reels Tommy in, but Tommy snap suplexes first! The fans cheer and Tommy tags Priest. They hit a BIG double back suplex, then Priest covers, ONE! Meanwhile, Moxley dares to say Menard is the one bringing negativity into the work place!

Garcia baits Tommy in for Yuta to DUMP out to the floor!
The fans boo but Yuta argues with the ref. Garcia goes to the corner, Pac tags in, and Pac stalks Tommy around the way. Pac SMACKS Tommy off the apron, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Pac brings Tommy around and whips him hard into railing! Pac then drags Tommy up, brings him over, and snap suplexes him to the floor! Pac digs his heel into Tommy’s neck, but stops as the ref reprimands. Pac puts Tommy back in the ring, stomps him, then paces around him. Tommy reaches out but Pac wrenches his arm. Tag to Yuta, they mug Tommy, then Yuta SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Tommy toughs it out but Yuta just clamps on with a clinch. Tommy fires body shots and forearms! But Yuta picks a leg and trips him! Tag to Garcia, he stomps away on Tommy! Garcia soaks up more heat from Erie before he drags Tommy over.
Garcia tags Pac, they both stomp away, but stop as the ref reprimands. Pac soaks up heat, flips off Lethal, then goes back to Tommy. Pac CLAWS Tommy’s eyes, stops as the ref reprimands, then paces around again. Pac soaks up more heat and Collision returns to single picture. Pac CLUBS Tommy down, taunts Lethal, and drags Tommy up. The fans rally as Tommy fights back, but Pac CLUBS him down. Pac stomps Tommy, digs his boots in, then argues with the ref. That lets Yuta & Garcia get cheap shots in! The fans boo but the Death Riders get away with it again. Pac stomps Tommy again, digs his heel in, and Moxley says this is a bad night for Tommy.
Tag to Yuta and Yuta drags Tommy up. The fans rally for Tommy but Yuta reels him in. Tommy fights the suplex, Yuta fires body shots, then Yuta BITES Tommy’s forehead!

But Garcia BLASTS Lethal & Priest! The fans boo but Tommy whips Garcia away! Then he CROSSBODIES Garcia and himself to the outside! A rough landing either way and the fans rally up.

Winners: PAC, Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia, by submission
Moxley says, “And that’s how it’s done.” The Death Riders rebound from Blood & Guts, but Pac grabs a mic to talk. “Oi, oi, oi…! From what I’ve heard, Darby Allin, he isn’t here tonight. And I can’t say I’m surprised. Y’see, what I did to Darby Allin at Blood & Guts, it was bloody beautiful. It was the best thing that I’ve ever done! Y’see, I’ve achieved a lot in professional wrestling, but standing and watching him burn… Well, I consider that my magnum opus! My piece la resistance! A masterpiece nonetheless. And no doubt, if Darby is still alive, he’ll want some form of petty revenge. Well, hey! Darby! I’ll be honest with ya: that’s no skin off my ball sack, ya little freak!
“Y’see, you wanna piece of me? No problem! Me and you, mano y mano, any time, any where! And where better than one week from tonight, live on PPV from New Jersey, AEW Full Gear? Y’see, Darby, you get a chance at retribution. But I get a chance to prove to the entire world, live on PPV, that a punk like you doesn’t belong int he same conversation, never mind the same league, as a competitor like ME!” The fans boo, but Pac tells Darby, “Have a little think about it, and let me know, wontcha? I’ll be waiting.” The Bastard has thrown out the challenge, but will- or rather, can Darby Allin accept?
Backstage interview with Kyle Fletcher & Mark Davis.
Lexy Nair is with Aussie Open as she brings up the big week for the Don Callis Family. Tonight, Mark Davis takes on Mark Briscoe while Kyle defends the TNT Championship against Scorpio Sky. If successful, we will get Fletcher VS Briscoe 6 at Full Gear. Fletcher is already annoyed, because he is sick of talking about Briscoe! Briscoe has been a thorn in The Family’s side for far too long. At Full Gear, Fletcher puts Briscoe in his place for good. But tonight, Briscoe has to deal with this man! Davis tells “Chicken Man Briscoe” that he won’t even make it to Full Gear, because after Davis wins tonight, chicken is for dinner! RARARARAR!
Fletcher says goodness. Good for Davis, but on Fletcher’s menu is Scorpio Sky. Fletcher tells Scorpio that he is very impressive, undefeated since returning, and a former two-time TNT Champion. But with the roll Fletcher is on, it stops for NOBODY. Get ready to say his full name. Will The Protostar & Dunkzilla dominate on behalf of the Callis Family? Or can a lot change in just one night?
Backstage interview with Toni Storm & Mina Shirakawa.
Collision returns as Lexy is now with the Timeless Love Bombs. Lexy notes that no one left Blood & Guts unscathed. Mina is clearly not cleared to compete tonight, and- Toni takes the mic to stop Lexy so that she can say, “Five women made me watch a mugging, a massacre, a murder. Now you can do what you like to me, Toni Storm lives and dies every damn day. But when you touch the woman I love… A woman who brings color to a world that is black ‘n’ white… Then you gain admission to a film, a cinema verité, that stars five sh*t-ass slop tarts and two horror show whores with a lust for vengeance who will love bomb the crap out of you!
“And since it’s your turn to watch, we promise to look good when we do it. Any time, any place. The show must go on. Don’t ask God for mercy, He’s a big fan of our work.” The femme fatale has spoken, but when and where will she and the Fighting Gravure Idol get their hands on Megan, Marina, and the rest?
Mark Briscoe VS Mark Davis!
The Sussex County Chicken almost didn’t make it into Blood & Guts after a backstage ambush from the Don Callis Family, but he showed he can #ManUp and even win at less than 100%! But will Briscoe need to fight like Hell all over again? Or will Dunkzilla make him easy pickings for The Protostar?
Well, Briscoe doesn’t even wait for Davis to get in the ring, he intercepts Davis at the ramp! The fans fire up as the brawl is on! Moxley is still on commentary and he likes this already. Davis ROCKS Briscoe, CHOPS Briscoe, then whips Briscoe into railing! Briscoe writhes, but Davis whips him into more railing! Davis snarls and stalks Briscoe, puts him in the ring, and the bell sounds! Briscoe DECKS Davis off the apron, then he WRECKS Davis with a dropkick!

Third time is the charm, and now Chicken is red hot going towards Full Gear! But will Briscoe be able to take the TNT Championship, no matter who he’s facing? Or will The Don Callis Family be the winners in the end?
Team Sky Flight speaks.
Christopher Daniels focuses himself before telling Scorpio Sky, “Ever since you decided to start this team of Sky Flight, we have led these guys to some great victories. We are on a roll in the world of professional wrestling, but I think it’s time for you to become a little bit selfish, get some glory for yourself, and regain that gold.” Scorpio says, “It’s been 1228 days since I lost the TNT Title. And not one of ’em has gone by where I haven’t thought about getting it back. The last few years have not been easy for me, but none of it compares to what stands in front of me tonight.
“Kyle Fletcher, you are every bit as good as you think you are. But I’ve got the experience to know that what sticks with you in this business aren’t the victories, it’s the night that should’ve been victories but weren’t. Defeat comes for us all, Kyle. And tonight, yours comes from The Sky.” Scorpio snaps his fingers and we go to break. Will The Closer strike out the Protostar and completely change Full Gear?
Josh Alexander is beating up Michael Nakazawa?!
The Walking Weapon is sending a message to Kenny Omega through the last friend standing! He asks if this all sounds familiar! Kenny’s best friends and loved ones kicking and screaming! Just like Kota Ibushi! This is fun for Alexander! HE is an instrument of destruction for the Don Callis Family! So what do you think he’ll do for a million dollars at Full Gear?

AEW TNT Championship: Kyle Fletcher VS Scorpio Sky w/ Christopher Daniels!
As it stands, Fletcher and Briscoe will compete for this title at Full Gear, with the added stipulation that Briscoe losing means he’d join the Don Callis Family.

Scorpio eggs Kyle on!? Kyle fires forearm after forearm on Scorpio, but Scorpio leans into the shots! Scorpio fires in return, and he fires a flurry!

Darius & Dante chase Aussie Open off, and even Briscoe is here! Briscoe gets a mic and tells Kyle to do him a favor: Tell Callis that Briscoe will not be stopped. They ambushed him on Wednesday, but what happened? Briscoe’s team emerged victorious! Ask Davis there if he slowed Briscoe down at all. Briscoe whooped that big burly ass! And Kyle, the main thing to do is that the next time “Daddy Don” has Kyle shine that big bald head of his, shine the belt up, too.
Kyle should snuggle with the belt real tight tonight. Give it kisses and hugs, because in one week, Full Gear, that title comes home with Briscoe! The fans cheer that! Kyle tells Briscoe that his screws are loose. They had nothing to do with attacking Briscoe on Wednesday. And this was also defense number eight! One defense from breaking the all-time TNT Championship record! So the only thing that’ll happen one week from tonight is Kyle cementing his legacy as the GREATEST TNT CHAMPION OF ALL TIME! And when that happens, there is a spot with Briscoe’s name on it right next to them in the Don Callis Family.
“And then you will have no choice, like all of these people, but to say my full name.” Fletcher gets the last word tonight, but will Briscoe have the last laugh at Full Gear?
AEW prepares for a big money Tailgate Brawl!
The 5 Tool Player says, “$200,000? Tony, that’s not even nearly enough to get me to wanna tag with this guy.” Platinum Max says yeah, they can’t agree on anything except that they don’t wanna be a tag team. But TK is forcing them, so they’ll take his money, beat up his wrestlers, and hopefully never tag again. Just don’t make them do this. #RockHardRobinson says tonight is a sneak-peek at what goes down at Tailgate Brawl. They’ll win and take all the money to invest it into their 401K! Because the Bang Bang Gang plays for keeps!
But Bryan Keith says $200K is just the right bounty for him and Big Bill! And Bill says he’ll get some of his boys up in Jersey to put that money to work for them. They’ll get 200K from TK, PAY UP! The Outrunners say four teams enter, but only one team has the size to win the prize! Tell ’em, Turb! It’s a $200K Fatal 4 Way Tailgate, and they know something about getting tail and spending money! The Youngest Men Alive vow to win, but who hits the jackpot in New Jersey?
Riho & Alex Windsor VS Hyan & Maya World!
The Wrestling Idol & Iron Will will be in the Women’s Tag Team title tournament, but they’re getting a tune-up here tonight in Erie! Will Riho & Windsor be more than ready for Toni & Mina? Or will The Renaissance Woman & #ThatGirl prove they’re just as All Elite?

PLAY BY PLAY
Rhea Ripley AND Iyo Sky are here!
Albany, New York fires up as Mami & The Genius are both here on SmackDown following the chaos on Raw. Because at Survivor Series, Rhea said it herself: WARGAMES! Rhea & Iyo each get a mic and the fans cheer them both on. Rhea says, “Since I’ve been out with a broken nose, the Kabuki Warriors, they’ve been causing a little bit of chaos. And now that they’ve managed to get their hands on the Tag Team Championships, they think they’re pretty much untouchable.” The fans boo, but then Rhea says throw Nia Jax & Lash Legend into the mix, which the fans boo also… “And now they think they are untouchable again because they have the ‘numbers advantage.'”
But the funny thing about numbers is you just end up with more enemies. Iyo says, “A lot of enemies. But they always catch up to you. And now, there is nowhere to hide! WARGAAAMES~!” The fans cheer as Iyo & Rhea go wild for that. Rhea says, “And y’know what? We’re not going in alone. So I would like to introduce two of our teammates: Charlotte Flair & Alexa Bliss!” The fans cheer as the former tag team champions make their way out to the ring, Charlotte in a modern art suit with her pyro, and then followed by Alexa in her goth preppy fusion. #Charlexa stands with Rhea & Iyo in the ring, mics also in hand.
The four hug it out and the fans “WOO~!” Alexa says if the Kabukis wanna play dirty, fine. If Nia & Lash wanna jump in, too, great! And they can get all four at once, it is so on! Those four started this fight, these four will end it! The very second Rhea said, “WarGames,” Alexa knew they were in. Right, Charlotte? The fans “WOO~!” and Charlotte says, “Lexi, I can’t do this. I can’t pretend anymore.” What? “Look, Rhea. I don’t like you.” The fans boo and Iyo is shocked. Charlotte says she doesn’t trust Rhea, and she thinks Rhea is a snake. But Rhea doesn’t like or trust Charlotte and probably thinks she’s the snake, and Charlotte doesn’t blame her.
There is too much history here, too much bad blood. Just because they have the same enemies doesn’t change that. Charlotte cannot look past it. Alexa is Charlotte’s friend, she trusts Alexa. So if Alexa wants to do this, that’s fine. But count Charlotte out. What!? The fans boo as The Queen steps away, but Alexa calls after her. Charlotte goes up the ramp, Alexa apologizes to the others and tries to figure out why Charlotte did this. Can Alexa get Charlotte to change her mind before it’s time to go to war?
Jey Uso is in the concourse!
And he asks them to please, please, play his music! UH UH, YEET!! The fans fire up and bounces along as Main Event Jey Uso makes his entrance, ready for The Last Time Is Now! But will it be Albany, New YEET? Or will the Hollywood A-Lister put all that fire from last week to good use?
The Last Time is Now Tournament Opening Round: Jey Uso VS The Miz!
SmackDown returns and the fans continue to YEET, and then they want the encore! But instead, The Miz makes his entrance. The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, but Miz KNEES low! Miz CLUBS Jey, then talks some trash. The fans rally for Jey but Miz brings Jey around. Jey blocks the buckle bump to fire off haymakers, “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey whips, Miz reverses, and Miz hits a kitchen sink KNEE! The fans boo but Miz soaks up the heat. Jey goes to ropes, Miz storms up on him, and Miz fires haymakers of his own! Miz soaks up more heat as he backs p, then he runs in, but Jey turns lariat into backslide! TWO!
The fans fire up as Jey stands, but Miz blocks a kick! Miz spins Jey, the DRAGON WHIP hits! Miz ends up on the apron, but he slides under Jey to sunset flip! TWO, and Miz catches Jey now! Jey fights the Finale with ama r-drag, but Miz avoids the superkick! So Jey LARIATS Miz up and out! The fans fire up and “YEET!” Jey builds speed and DIVDSE! Miz is send into the desk! Albany fires up while Jey snarls and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns again and Miz stalks Jey. The tide has turned and Miz storms up, but Jey ELBOWS him away! Jey goes up, but Miz kicks the legs out! DRAPING CODE BREAKER! Then a DDT! Jey gets spiked!

The fans fire up as Miz says when his hand goes up, your mouths go shut. “You Can’t See Me!” FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! The fans are torn as Miz now fireman’s carries Jey! But Jey fights free, shoves Miz, SUPERKICK! Then a fireman’s carry in return! Miz slips free, SKULL CRUSHING FINALE!! Cover, TWO!?! Jey survives and everyone is shocked, especially Miz! Jey flounders, stands, and goes to a corner. Albany is thunderous for Jey but Miz storms right up on him.
Miz puts Jey up top, then climbs up after him! Miz full nelsons again! But Jey fires elbows! Then he fireman’s carries Miz! The fans are thunderous as Jey hits a TOP ROPE RACK DROP! Then he gest moving, SPEAR!! Jey doesn’t stop there, he goes up the corner again! USO SPLASH!! Cover, JEY WINS!
Winner: Jey Uso, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
Albany YEETS again as Jey stays alive in the tournament! But who else will join him, Sheamus, and Rusev on the road to Washington, DC?
Ilja Dragunov talks with Nick Aldis.
The Mad Russian Dragon is glad he gets to have another Open Challenge, but then in walks Tommaso Ciampa. The Sicilian Psycho hopes Aldis is explaining to “our so-called fighting champion” how to respect the rules of an Open Challenge. Aldis says the champion has every right to dictate the rules how he sees fit, but Johnny Gargano asks if Ilja has the right to call his best friend a jackass. Candice LeRae asks if Ciampa looks like a jackass! Enough with calling him a jackass! The only jackass here is Ilja denying the one man answering the challenges! Make it make sense! Well, they were just discussing this, so listen very carefully!
When Ilja took on the legacy of the United States Open Challenge, Ilja promised to do things the right way. And the right way mean sto not give opportunities to…Â jackasses! But to fight warriors who are willing to fight with respect and honor. And there is nothing honorable about Ciampa. So tonight, Ilja will give this opportunity to a man who fights with honor, and someone Ilja respects. Oh no, seriously?! AXIOM steps in! Ciampa accuses Ilja of cowardice, but Axiom thanks Ilja for this opportunity. Aldis wishes them both the best of luck, then moves on, only for Paul Heyman and Bronson Reed to be waiting outside his office.
Heyman smiles, a big contract folder in hand, and he asks Aldis, “How’re you doing? We need to talk to you for a minute.” Aldis says please, step inside. These three go into the office to talk, but what exactly about?
SmackDown returns and…
Aldis calls in extra security for his office. He tells Heyman that before The Vision is escorted from the building, what can he do for them? Heyman says that’s awfully dramatic, Aldis. But this is the WarGames agreement, which allows Heyman to “take any talent that is under WWE contract across all brands. Tha tincludes SmackDown, your brand. My heads-up to you, you’re welcome.” Any talent across all brands? Yes, thank you for coming all the way to Albany to confirm what was already in the paperwork. This could’ve been an email, Heyman. So unless there’s anything else to discuss, he would like to ask them kindly to leave. Because The Vision will NOT be disrupting Aldis’ show.
And security steps in on cue. Heyman says oh goodness, look who it is! Cody Rhodes steps in, and Heyman says, “It’s the golden goose who’s being afforded all this protection.” Cody asks, “Mr. Heyman, what do you wanna talk about?” Heyman wants to talk about Cody getting involved with Vision business on Raw. Cody doesn’t know about this golden goose stuff, but he saw on Raw that they were putting his friends in the fire, which means he was next through the flames, but Heyman already knew that. But this is Friday Night SmackDown, and the business of today… is right here. “And if you’re not here to fight, then you should leave.”
Bronson says he’ll fight. Cody asks Aldis to make the match: Bronson Reed VS Cody Rhodes… TONIGHT! Aldis says that works, but Heyman asks why they’d give this away and not make it a title match? Cody says fine, book it. Aldis gets worried now, but Cody says, “BOOK IT!” Then it is official. Cody VS Bronson for the Undisputed Championship. Heyman smiles and thanks both Mr. Aldis and “Champ” Cody. Did Cody just get goaded into losing the gold? Or will the American Nightmare find a way to slay the Colossal Aussie?
WWE Untied States Open Challenge: Ilja Dragunov VS Axiom!
Speaking of titles, The Czar didn’t appreciate the Sicilian Psycho getting salty all over again, so he again passed on Ciampa to face Axiom. But will Ilja be able to deny the Undeniable Truth? Or will Axiom finally have singles gold on SmackDown?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They feel things out, Axiom rolls to wrench and wrangle Ilja. Axiom has the armlock but Ilja fights up. Ilja wrenches in return, then cording holds for a HIP TOSS! Cover, ONE, but Ilja holds onto the arm. Axiom kips up, slips around, and spins Ilja to snapmare and headlock. Ilja slips out to armlock in return and the fans cheer the technical exchange. Ilja knuckle locks to straight arm lever and SLAM Axiom! Axiom fights up but Ilja wrenches him again. Ilja whips Axiom to a corner, but Axiom dodges the lariat! Axiom waits on Ilja and he says it was that close. Ilja and Axiom reset, knuckle lock, and Axioim headlocks.
Axiom hits the takeover but Ilja keeps his shoulders up. Ilja CLUBS at Axiom from below, then fights up. Ilja powers up and out, Axiom RAMS him, but Ilja RUNS Axiom over! Cover, ONE, and Ijoa gets moving! Axiom trips Ilja up, but Ilja blocks the hip toss! Ilja slips through but Axiom fights the backslide! The fans rally as the two fight for control, and then they spin around. Ilja ROCKS Axiom with a forearm! Axiom ROCKS Ilja! Ilja BOOTS Axiom down! The fans rally, but Axiom catches the hammer into the ARMBAR! Ilja fights to stack, and he deadlifts Axiom! Axiom lets go, but Ilja ducks the enzigiri to SLAP Axiom down!
The fans rally and Axiom dodges to then DROPKICK back! Ilja staggers, Axiom GAMANGIRIS him up and out! The fans fire up while Ilja sputters, and Axiom takes aim. Axiom runs, GOLDEN- NO! Ilja stops the triangle moonsault as he CLUBS Axiom on the back! Axiom is stuck up top, Ilja CHOPS him! Axiom kicks at Ilja, Ilja CHOPS, and repeat! The fans rally as these two brawl on the apron. Ilja HEADBUTTS Axiom right back into the ring! Then Ilja climbs, aims, and SUPER SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Axiom survives, Ilja is a bit surprised, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Ilja snarls as he rises up, and he paces around Axiom. Axiom slowly sits up, Ilja fires up, but he turns around into a CHOP from Axiom! So Ilja CHOPS Axiom right off his feet! Cover, TWO! Ilja keeps close and brings Axiom up to CHOP again! And again! And then HEADBUTT! And CHOP! HEADBUTT! CHOP! Ilja then reels Axiomi in for a BIG suplex! Cover, TWO! Ilja still keeps axiom down with a facelock. Axiom endures, fights around, and he wrenches out to headlock back. Axiom waistlocks, Ilja bucks the O’Conner, but axiom kips up, into a CHOP! Cover, TWO! Axiom survives again but Ilja stays focused.
Ilja puts Axiom in a corenr, CHOPS him, and Axiom flops against the ropes. Ilja drags Axiom back up, whips corner to corner, and Axiom hits hard! Ilja runs up to KNEE low, then he runs side to side to BOOT WASH Axiom right outta the ring! Ilja roars and the fans cheer. Ilja goes out to BOOT Axiom, then follows him around the way. They go back into the ring, Ilja brings Axiom around, and Ilja waistlocks, only for Axiom to fight the lift. Axiom switches, Ilja fights the lift, and Ilja wrenches out to HEADBUTT! And HEADBUTT! And then Gotch lift POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Axiom is toughing it out bu tIlja is not deterred.
Ilja clamps on with a rear bearhug and he squeezes tight, Axiom endures so Ilja ELBOWS him down! And ELBOWS again and again and again! Ilja just HAMMERS away on Axiom, then clamps back on with another bearhug. Axiom still endures, fights back to his feet, but Ilja GERMAN SUPLEXES! Ilja holds on, drags Axiom back up, and SmackDown returns to single picture. Fans chant for “One More Time!” and Ilja GERMAN SUPLEXES! Ilja still holds on, Albany wants another, so Ilja drags Axiom up. Axiom switches, but Ilja again bucks the O’Conner! Axiom kips up, but he ducks the chop to NORTHERN LIGHTS!
The fans cheer while both men are down! The fans rally as Ilja stands, and he swings, but Axiom CROSS COUNTERS! Ilja falls back, Axiom goes to a corner, but Ilja storms up. Axiom BOOTS Ilja down, hops up the corner, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Cover, TWO! Ilja survives and Axiom grows frustrated but the fans rally up. Axiom rises, Ilja roars to give him more, so Axiom KICKS! And KICKS! Ilja wants more so Axiom KICKS, KICKS, and KICKS! Ilja blocks to SLAP, ROCK, boxing elbows, and BOOT! Axiom falls and the fans fire up again! Ilja powers up, runs, CONSTANTINE- NO, Axiom catches him to an ARMBAR!
Ilja fights, ends up in a TRIANGLE HOLD, but he works to stack Axiom! Axiom fights that off, but Ilja deadlifts Axiom again! POWERBOMB! Axiom flounders, Ilja snarls, and Ilja aims from the corner. Ilja powers up, the fans rally, H-BOMB FOR- NO, Axiom uses that to spring up and MOONSAULT DDT!!! Cover, TWO!?! No one can believe what they saw, nor that Ilja survived! “This is Awesome!” as Axiom has Ilja in a corner. Axiom ROCKS and CHOPS and hoists Ilja up. Ilja fights back with SLAPS and Axiom staggers. But then Axiom GAMANGIRIS! Axiom goes up after Ilja, but Ilja fires RIDGE HAND CHOPS!
Ilja and Axiom go to the very top, but Axiom hits the SUPER DUPER SPANISH FLY!! And then GOLDEN RATI- NO!! TORPEDO MOSCOW!! AND H-BOMB FOREARM!! Cover, Ilja wins!!
Winner: Ilja Dragunov, by pinfall (still WWE United States Championship)
It was all in a blink of an eye, but Ilja snatches victory from the jaws of defeat! Another instant classic is under Ilja’s belt, and he shows respect to Axiom for giving him this fight. The fans cheer that, but who will be next to challenge The Mad Russian’s reign?
R-Truth meets with Nick Aldis.
Truth knows last week that it was a heavy load, and Truth’s load was lost in the shuffle, but he is imploring to Aldis as employee to boss, please put Truth in the John Cena tournament. Aldis tries to tell Truth again, but Truth says don’t worry, he shined up his (lottery) balls so they’ll look real nice on TV. All he asks is Aldis handles them with care. Aldis again tries to get it through to Truth but Truth says just take his balls. FINE! Aldis takes them, and then Chelsea Green walks in. She asks if she heard John Cena’s name dropped. She did. Then speaking of legends, she has no idea why SHE didn’t get pyro when she won the Women’s US Championship.
But putting a pin in that, when is her championship celebration happening tonight? Aldis goes to say it’s not but she says that’s right, he CANCELLED it! She’d all of it prepared and ready to go! But all will be forgiven if this “injustice system” that is WWE would just give her a celebration next week, with pyro. Yes, he can make that work. Just for right now, hold onto these for him. Aldis hands Chelsea the Truth balls, and Alba says they do look nice. But will The Hot Mess really get everything she demand- er, wants?
SmackDown shares footage from the break.
As Axiom was on his way back up the ramp, Tommaso Ciampa attacked him! The Psycho Killer took out all his anger out on Axiom, only for Frazer to chase him off! Ciampa is only showing everyone Ilja is right about him, but will Ciampa not stop until he gets his opportunity?
Sami Zayn is here!
The fans cheer and sing along with the song as #BigMatchSami heads to the ring. Sami gets a mic and asks, “How we doing tonight, Albany? We good?” The fans cheer, and they chant for “Sami! Sami!” Sami takes a moment before he says, “I gotta tell ya. Since I’ve come to SmackDown, there have been some extremely high highs, and some extremely low lows. As soon as I came over to SmackDown, the first thing I said I would do is I said I would beat Solo Sikoa for the United States Championship.” The fans cheer that, and Sami says he did do that! He got to do amazing things with that title, like wrestle John Cena in his last match on SmackDown!
Sami got to go toe-to-toe with the best talent SmackDown has to offer week in and week out. The fans cheer again, and Sami says that was all great. But he won’t lie, the last four weeks have been extremely challenging. he has had to watch from the sidelines, hurt and not medically cleared, as Solo & MFT run roughshod every single week! The fans boo, and Sami says he’s had to sit and watch, unable to do anything, while MFT attacked Sami’s friends, those Sami liked and respected. And Sami gets it, Aldis told him not to get involved, don’t get hurt, and so Sami did. He sat back week after week. But he is here to tell us that that ends TONIGHT!
The fans cheer and Sami continues by calling out Solo! He knows Solo has a problem with him, and he sure has a problem with Solo, so let’s deal with it face to face! Solo & MFT make their way out here, and Solo has a mic in hand. Solo tells Sami, “You really think you knwio who you are, huh? You think you know, but you don’t. I know the real Sami, I know the real you. Yeah. He’s pathetic, a liar, desperate, and when you’re desperate, you do desperate things, which makes you so damn selfish!” The fans boo, but Solo says Sami only cares about Sami! Sami doesn’t care about the guys in the back, or even the fans here in Albany.
The fans boo, but Solo says for himself, what he cares about is his family. Solo cares about the men standing behind him and their loyalties to him. Unlike Sami! Sami knows nothing about loyalty when it comes to family. In fact, watch who you’re talkinga bout before he gets in there and kicks Sami’s ass! Don’t forget, Sami, you’re still wounded. The fans boo as MFT now flanks the ring, and Solo says this can end very badly for Sami. Solo could drop Sami right here and now, but he won’t. He will wait until Sami is 100% and medically cleared. Then once that happens, understand this: Solo is coming after you!
The fans boo, but Sami says, “Well, the good news for you, Solo, is you’re not gonna have to wait very long. Because as of tonight, I am officially 100% medically cleared! So if you wanna do something about it, go ahead and do something about it right now!” Sami calls Solo’s bluff, so Solo takes off the jacket But then Sami says before that, Solo needs to know this: Sami didn’t come here alone. And just as he says that, Rey Fenix, Shinsuke Nakamura & Motor City Machine Guns all YANK MFT off the apron! The brawl is on and the fans fire up! Solo panics, Sami shrugs, and Solo takes a swing! Sami fires counter punches!
The fans fire up as Sami fires off on Solo in a corner! Sami stomps a mudhole, then he goes to the far corner! The fans fire up, but Talla gets Solo outta the ring! The fans boo but then JC Mateo CLOBBERS Sami! JC, Tama & Loa all mug Sami, but Sami’s friends get them! They TOSS the Guerrillas and even LARIAT Loa up and out! The fans fire up as now Fenix goes up, up, and TORNILLO CROSSBODIES MFT! Fenix regroups with Sami and friends! Will Sami and his team soon cut down Solo’s “Family Tree?”
Cody Rhodes prepares backstage.
Jey Uso says hey and Cody congratulates him on the win in the tournament. Jey says he just heard about Bronson’s title shot at Cody tonight. It might get a little slimy, so Jey’s got his back. Of course! Cody and Jey shake hands on that again, and then Jimmy Uso steps in. #BigJim says hey, Uce. Any time you can get your hands on The Vision sounds like a party to Jimmy, so count him in, too. They shake on that, and Jimmy says he spoke with Punk earlier. Count him in for WarGames, too! The three shake hands, The Usos head out, but will Cody be able to fire the first shot in that war? Or will a Tsunami end the reign of the American Nightmare?
Solo Sikoa argues with Nick Aldis backstage.
Solo demands that with Sami 100% healthy, he wants a match with him tonight! Aldis says first, there’s no more time on the card, that can’t happen. And second, Solo clearly has more enemies than just Sami. So how about this? In two weeks, SmackDown before WarGames, it’ll be MFT VS Sami, Fenix, Nakamura & MCMG in a 5v5 Survivor Series style Elimination Tag! Now if you’ll excuse him. Aldis leaves, and there’s a Wyatt Sick6 glitch on screen. And in fact, Uncle Howdy is lurking in the shadows. Will the Wyatts be watching that 10 Man Tag very, very closely?
The Last Time is Now Tournament Opening Round: LA Knight VS ???
The Mega Star knows what this tournament is all about, and he knows everyone wants to be John Cena’s final opponent, but what he doesn’t know is who will be his first round opponent! We’re all about to learn that in the matter of moments, but will it not matter when this is LA Knight’s game? Or will what you don’t know actually hurt you?
Everyone waits and watches the stage. “WOO! WOO! WOO! YOU KNOW IT!” It’s Matt Car- well, no, he’s ZACK RYDER again!? Long Island Iced Z returns to the WWE, but will he prove he’s #AlwayZReady? The bell rings, the fans cheer and “WOO WOO WOO!” Knight and Ryder circle, Ryder gets the “WOO WOO WOO!” going hotter, and the two tie up. Ryder rolls Knight, TWO! Ryder says it was that close, and Knight says yeah, okay. They go again, tie up, and now Knight wrenches Ryder to YANK, YANK, YANK the arm! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight wrenches, Ryder ducks, but then Knight switches.
Ryder bucks the O’Conner, but Knight avoids the Rough Ryder! Knight returns, but Ryder tosses him out! The fans cheer as Ryder smiles, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Ryder whips corner to corner. Knight hits buckles hard, then drops to his knees. The fans cheer Ryder as he pushes Knight to the corner, then whips him again. Knight reverses and BACKDROPS! The fans fire up while Ryder flounders, then he goes to the apron. Knight storms over, Ryder ROCKS Knight first, and then Ryder goes to supelx! Knight supelxes but Ryder slips free! Knight dodges to JAB, JAB, and JAB! “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Then ROLLING ELBOW! Knight clinches to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Knight whips, Ryder hits buckles hard, and Knight hits the JUMP NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO!
Ryder survives but Knight nods. Knight brings Ryder up, kicks low, then fires hands. Knight bumps Ryder off buckles, then whips him to ropes. Knight scoops, Ryder slips free, and Ryder ROCKS Knight! And CHOPS! And ROCKS! And then whips, but Knight reverses. Ryder turns backdrop into FACEBUSTER! Big forearm in the corner, and Knight sits down! The fans pump their fists with Ryder, “WOO WOO WOO! YOU KNOW IT!” BROSKI BOOT! Cover, TWO! Knight survives but the fans rally up as Ryder aims from a corner. Ryder hooks Knight’s arms, turns him, but Knight RAMS Ryder into buckles! Dragon sleeper, REVERSE DDT!
The fans fire up while both men are down! Knight then rolls back to his feet and the fans cheer. Knight goes up the corner, and he spells it out, “L! A! KNGIHT! YEAH!” BOX JUMP ELBOW- NO, Ryder moves, runs up, ROUGH RYDER!! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives and the fans are shocked! Ryder is also surprised, but he hurries to watch Knight. “This is Awesome!” and Ryder reels Knight in, Knight wrenches out and kicks, B F- NO! Ryder rolls Knight up, TWO! Knight runs up, but into KNEES! Ryder goes up, up, RADIO SILENCEÂ into a POWERBOMB!! Then Knight hauls Ryder up, B F T!! Cover, KNIGHT WINS!
Winner: LA Knight, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
YEAH! Knight didn’t care who it was gonna be, he fought and won his spot in the second round! Knight, Jey, Sheamus, Rusev, who else will advance in this historic tournament?
Alexa Bliss, Rhea Ripley & Iyo Sky talk backstage.
They still can’t get their heads around why Charlotte just walked out on them. Charlotte also isn’t texting back or anything. Rhea knew they had beef, but she thought Charlotte would put it all aside like she did. Tonight just shows they gotta now find two more people for the team. Alexa says she has someone to call, Iyo says Charlotte was their best bet, though. But then Asuka, Kairi, Nia & Lash all attack! The brawl is on, Rhea HEADBUTTS Kairi down, but Lash DECKS Rhea! Then Nia sends Iyo into Lash’s KNEE! Lash then sends Iyo into a road case! And then same for Rhea! Security rushes in, Asuka says okay, okay, they’re good.
Nia says bye, losers~! The Irresistible Four just did a lot of damage. Will they even need a fifth woman to finish off what’s left of Rhea, Iyo and Alexa?
Jade Cargill VS B-Fab!
The Storm finally reigns on the mountaintop of WWE, and she is not playing nice with anyone. Will she strike down someone who was once a friend? Or will B-Fab truly be fab when she gets a win on the champ?
SmackDown returns, B-Fab makes her entrance, Michin staying backstage to let her handle things on her own. The bell rings and Jade dares Fab to try something. They tie up, Fab goes for a leg, but Jade spins her around. CHOKE- NO, Fab slips free and DROPKICKS! And DROPKICKS! Jade is in a corner, Fab runs up, HEEL KICK! Fab fires ELBOW after ELBOW, then fires up! The fans rally, Fab runs up, but Jade blocks the boot! Jade DECKS Fab with a forearm, then drags her right back up. Jade scoops Fab to FALL AWAY SLAM! Jade kips up, fires up, and the fans are with Jade on this one.
Jade waits on Fab, brings her around with the guzel, CHOKE SLAM! Jade tells Fab to stand down, but then she brings Fab up anyway. Jade revels in the cheers, then lifts Fab to POWERBOMB! Jade paces while she tells Fab to stay down, but Fab manages to sit up. Jade says fine, and she brings Fab up again. Fab fights, Jade lifts, POWERBOMB! Jade stands over Fab as she tells her to stay down, but the fans want to see that “One More Time!” Jade drags Fab up, has the chicken wings, and then JADED! Cover, Jade wins!
Winner: Jade Cargill, by pinfall
Jade mockingly checks her imaginary watch, and she says this is who she is! Michin is here now to make sure B-Fab is okay, but then Jade tells them both to get outta here. Mia is upset Jade would be like this just because she’s champion now. Jade tells Mia to know her place, then SHOVES her down! The fans boo but Mia wants after Jade! The ref keeps them apart, Jade steps out, and she smirks as she leaves. Jade says she is #ThatB*tch then, now, and forever, so just keep ’em coming.
Nick Aldis announces the final four first-round entrants.
“Last week on SmackDown, four superstars were selected at random to compete for the most prized career-altering opportunity: To face the Greatest of All Time, John Cena, in his final match at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Tonight, fate will once again decide the superstars that will compete in The Last Time Is Now Tournament. First up, it’s a former first-round draft pick, Carmelo Hayes, taking on The Vision’s own Bronson Reed. And finally, the high-flying luchador, Penta, will go one-on-one with The Prince, Finn Balor. The only thig I have left to say, gentlemen, is good luck.” No Truth, but will the vision be clear as we approach December 13th?
Backstage interview with Carmelo Hayes.
Cathy Kelley is with H1M and brings up him going on record as to how he idolized John Cena growing up and would love this opportunity to go 1v1. What would a win in the opening round mean for him? Melo says first, he has to address this Miz situation. “Mike, you might’ve won the battle, but the war’s just begun. I will see you when I see you. And John Cena… The GOAT, the Last Time Is Now Tournament, you got a long line full of heavy hitters, killers, all wanting to be the one that’s gonna put you down, all wanting to be the one that’s gonna hang your jersey from the rafters. And respectfully, John, I’m one of ’em.
“50% of people might overlook me, 50% of people might think I can get the job done, but 100% of me knows that if I get that shot, I won’t miss.” But then in steps Bronson Reed. He tells Melo that he’s gonna end Cody Rhodes, then he will end John Cena after he ends H1M next week. Bronson heads out, Heyman nods towards Melo, and then The Oracle follows. Will Auszilla be taking it all on the road to the end?
Aleister Black speaks.
“Fear, Damian? That’s so silly that even you don’t believe that. No, no no no. You threw me on top of a table. You tried to throw me through things. And then you took the bottom part of the steel steps, and you tried to crush my head. The only person that fears anything is you. Fear of what we have made you become.” Zelina Vega says, “We said that we would force you to break your code. We said we would corrupt you. And I think we did exactly that.” But enough about him. They have their eyes set on greater things. That brings them to the entire locker room. Namely, those who hold world titles.
Aleister left fear behind the day he stepped foot back into the WWE, and he has become the one thing no one wanted him to become: everyone’s enemy! Does that mean the Dark Father is watching tonight’s main event very, very closely?
Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes VS Bronson Reed w/ Paul Heyman!
The American Nightmare and The Colossal Aussie are both preparing for WarGames, and while it is Cody, Punk & The Usos at four against Bronson, Bron Breakker & Logan Paul at three, this could still tip the scales back in The Vision’s favor. Will a Tsunami wash away the reign? Or can Cody escape from New York with the gold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who can carry that weight!
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two circle. They tie up, Bronson shoves Cody to a corner, but Cody dodges! Bronson hits buckles, Cody fires hands, then kicks to RHODES UPPERCUT! Cody runs to ROCK Bronson, but then Bronson responds with a BODY CHECK! And ELBOW DROP! The fans boo but Bronson covers, ONE! Cody shows toughness and goes to the outside, but Bronson runs in around the way! BODY CHECK! The fans boo, Bronson snarls, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Bronson drags Cody up, HEADBUTTS him, then stalks him around the way again. Bronson storms in after Cody, but Cody BODY BLOWS! Cody fires a forearm, but Bronson HEADBUTTS him down! Bronson raises the one but the fans don’t acknowledge their Tribal Thief. Bronson whips and CLOBBERS Cody! Cover, TWO! Bronson drags Cody into a chinlock and leans on the hold, but Cody fights around. Cody reaches out, fights to his feet, and fires body shots. The fans rally as Cody ROCKS Bronson, but Bronson scoops to SLAM Cody! Bronson snarls again, but Cody avoids the elbow drop! Cody rises up, goes to a corner, but Bronson SPLASHES!
Cody sputters against the ropes but Bronson CHOKES him! The ref counts, Bronson steps off at 4, and Cody sputters again. Bronson storms up and ROCKS Cody! Bronson puts Cody in another corner, BODY BLOWS, then whips corner to corner hard! Cody staggers, falls over, and Bronson drags Cody back up. Bronson has a chinbar, and he stretches Cody with the chinlock. Cody endures, fights back up, and SmackDown returns to single picture. The fans rally but Bronson CLUBS Cody, then back suplexes! Cody lands out, ducks a haymaker, and springboards! BEAUTIFUL DISASTER KICK!
The fans fire up and Cody rises, but so does Bronson. Cody JABS, JABS, JABS, then flip, flop, and fly! BIONIC- NO! Fireman’s carry, JAGGED EDGE! Cover, TWO! Cody survives but Bronson goes up! The fans freak out for the TSUNAMI, but it FLOPS as Cody moves! Cody hurries to springboards again, SUPER CODY CUTTER!! Cover, TWO! Cody fires up and the fans are with him! Bronson is outside, Cody runs and DIVES, but into a forearm! Cody stumbles and staggers o the outside, Bronson runs up, but Cody TOSSES him into the timekeeper’s area! The fans fire up again and Cody refreshes the ring count.
Cody clears off the desk! HE even topples the belt pedestal! But BRON BREAKKER FLYING SHOULDER TACKLES!!
Winner: Cody Rhodes, by disqualification (still Undisputed WWE Champion)
Logan Paul is here, too! They mug Cody, SMACK him off the desk, then put him back in the ring! Was this the real plan all along? The fans boo as Bron rains down fists, then Logan gets his turn! Bron rips his shirt away and wants Logan to set Cody up. Logan does as told, but THE USOS hurry out here! Jey & Jimmy said they’d have Cody’s back, so they get in the ring to brawl with Logan and Bron! The fans fire up, but Bron shoves Jimmy! Jimmy SUPERKICKS Bron! Jey joins in, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Bron falls, Logan runs up, DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Then the ONE D!! That’s one and done for The Maverick!
The fans fire up as now Jimmy decides to GET THE TABLE! The fans are thunderous as Jimmy puts that in for Jey, Jey sets it up, and the fans are all fired up! Logan is put on the table, the Usos go to the corners, but DREW MCINTYRE SHOVES JIMMY! Isn’t he suspended!? Jey runs up, but he gets a GLASGOW KISS HEADBUTT!! The fans boo as Drew saves Logan’s bacon! Aldis storms out here, asks what the hell Drew is doing here, and Heyman claims this is per the WarGames contract! Heyman could recruit anybody under WWE contract, even suspended superstars! Drew sets the table up in a corner, and he drags Jey Uso!
But Jey breaks free to SUPERKICK! The fans cheer as Jey now lines up a shot, but Drew KICKS first! Bron returns to SPEAR Jey through the table!! Jimmy is back to throw hands, but Logan uses ONE LUCKY RIGHT to knock Jimmy out! The fans boo, but now Cody is back! He throws hands on Drew and Logan, but a CLAYMORE takes Cody out! Drew throws off his shirt, he stares down with Bronson, and then Drew puts Cody in the drop zone! Drew step on Cody before the TSUNAMI hits!! The fans are either booing or desperately calling for CM Punk, but it is clear The Vision was thinking ahead.
Drew takes the contract from Heyman and they shake hands on the deal. The numbers are even, but will the odds be in The Vision’s favor now that they have a Scottish Terminator on their side?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown here, with quite a lot of surprises and big moves as perhaps a response to the sinking ratings and sinking interest. Charlotte not automatically being onboard with the team-up was certainly surprising, but given that 4v3 ambush backstage, that will surely compel Charlotte to join up. She’ll see it’s not about her and Rhea getting along so much as as it is them getting to beat up on their enemies, as we knew going into this. Then I would think they still bring in Stephanie Vaquer and Nikki Bella as the fifth members for each side, to help build the title story on top of everything else, jus as I said on Monday.
Obviously Cody wasn’t going to lose the Undisputed Championship tonight, but that was a great move to bolster the show’s card and give an excuse for all the Men’s WarGames build tonight. Logan & Bron being here to help Bronson was a given, and Heyman using a unique WarGames contract to bring Drew McIntyre onboard was certainly a clever move. As I figured on Monday, Jimmy Uso was a natural addition to Team Cody, or maybe it’s Team Punk. And I would certainly think Roman Reigns will also be a natural addition to this match, but I’m curious as to the fifth man for The Vision. Would Lesnar really want to be in WarGames? Well, granted, he’d be the last person to enter the match and “clear house,” but he’d still have to get in there.
Great stuff with the US Championship, such as Ilja continuing to troll Ciampa. Ilja VS Axiom was awesome, through I swear I heard one drunken idiot slurring the word, “BORING~!” That person is the kind of American fan Gunther (and therefore Zack Sabre Jr.) was talking about, IYKYK. But in the end, I figured we’d get more DIY VS Fraxiom, and maybe after that, Ciampa finally gets his match with Ilja. Great promo from Sami with Solo, and great ambush from Team Sami on MFT to set up their own 5v5. I figured that if they weren’t doing the WarGames, they’d get to do the traditional Survivor Series match, and the go-home SmackDown continues to be a substitute for the kickoff show, but in the best way possible.
Another hilarious promo with Truth and Aldis, and Chelsea joining in so we can hype up a celebration certainly teases someone interrupting. Either Giulia is going to crash the party to demand a US Championship rematch, or they plug NXT Gold Rush by having Thea Hail & Joe Hendry get the better of them ahead of the AAA Mixed Tag Team Championship match. I’m leaning more towards the former, they’ll build the tag match plenty on NXT. And speaking of Truth, a shame he doesn’t get in on the final part of the bracket, but Melo VS Bronson and Penta VS Finn will be great matches. With Bronson busy with The Vision’s story, I would hope Melo wins, and it’d be great if they teased a Boston VS Boston showdown.
Jade of course beat B-Fab tonight but that was pretty good for what was basically a squash match. Michin probably gets a match with Jade next, and likely loses that. Jade’s first title defense could be Survivor Series to basically be a buffer between the WarGames matches but also to just get one on the books. There’s a lot on hold for right now with the WarGames matches having a lot of great contenders involved, but I would think we get some Charlotte VS Jade build on the other side of Survivor Series.
And of course, great matches for the Last Time is Now tournament. Jey VS Miz was a great match, and Miz hitting Cena’s moves was an appreciated reference. But I figured Jey would win, they wanna tease a rematch of the Royal Rumble finalists from earlier this year. Matt Cardona was a great surprise, though him being Zack Ryder was perhaps even more surprising. People have been talking about Knight being punished and that he was being set up to lose, but if commentary is talking about that concept, then you know that is not the case. Great win for Knight, great showing for Cardona/Ryder, and here’s hoping Ryder gets to do more in WWE from here on.
My Score: 8.9/10
