Women’s Iron Survivor Challenger Last Chance Fatal 4 Way: Roxanne Perez VS Kiana James VS Fallon Henley VS Thea Hail w/ Jacy Jayne!
There’s still time before the Iron Survivor matches are locked in, and we already know two of the four here want to tear into each other! Will the Prodigy and the Calculator use their anger to win that final spot? Or will another take advantage of the distraction to get ahead?
The bell rings and Roxie goes right at Kiana! They brawl, the fans fire up, but Fallon & Thea drag Kiana up. Kiana DECKS Thea, switches with Fallon and shoves her into Roxie! Kiana then runs in, Fallon & Thea dodge to DOUBLE SHOULDER her down! Fans fire up with Thea and Fallon, and they see Roxie get up. The three circle, Lyra Valkyria watching, but Tatum Paxley watching Lyra… Thea, Roxie and Fallon triple knuckle lock for a triple test of strength! They go around, Roxie breaks one, wrenches the other, and now Roxie and Fallon are 2v1 on Thea. But Thea double arm-drags them away!
Thea then gets around Roxie, rolls her up, TWO and Fallon rolls Thea! TWO and Roxie sunset flips Fallon! TWO and Thea ghost pins Roxie! TWO, Fallon body scissor rolls Thea, TWO! Thea runs up, into an O’Conner Roll! TWO, Roxie wheelbarrows to victory FACEBUSTER! Cover, but Thea drags Roxie away! Thea RAMS Roxie into a corner, runs in but into a BOOT! Roxie goes out and up while fans are torn, but Kiana BLASTS Roxie down! But then Thea DECKS Kiana! Fans fire up with Thea as she dodges Fallon, tilt-o-whirls and RANAS! Fallon bails out and Thea takes aim.
But Kiana runs up to O’Conner, only for Thea to buck that. Drop toehold and Kiana ends up on ropes, for Fallon to ROCK her! Roxie ROCKS Fallon, then brawls with Kiana! Roxie DECKS Kiana, Thea DIVES onto Roxie! Fallon DECKS Roxie, Kiana ROCKS Fallon! Kiana gets her purse! She CRACKS Roxie on the back with it! Kiana then RAMS Roxie into barriers! Fans boo as Kiana stands tall while NXT goes picture in picture.
Roxie writhes while Kiana says SHE is the Iron Survivor. Kiana drags Thea up, SMACKS her off the apron, then SMACKS her off it again! Kiana stomps Fallon, puts Thea in the ring, then storms in behind her. Fallon gets on the apron but Kiana POSTS her! Then Kiana KNEES Thea, KNEES her again, then runs to BOOT her down! Cover, TWO! Kiana is frustrated and she sees Fallon get up again. Kiana BOOTS Fallon down, tells her off, and then goes back for Thea. Thea fires off haymakers! And a HEADBUTT! Thea runs, but Kiana catches her! Kiana RAMS Fallon using Thea, then she SLAMS Thea! Cover, TWO!
Kiana drags Thea around to throw down elbows! Cover, TWO! Kiana is frustrated, she tells Jacy to shut up, then brings Thea back up. Kiana dribbles Thea off buckles, then brings her around to throw her by her hair! Cover, TWO! Thea hangs tough and Kiana grows frustrated. Kiana clamps on with a chinlock, grinds Thea down, but Thea endures as fans rally up. Kiana talks trash to Jacy while she thrashes Thea. Thea fights up, the fans rally again, and Thea arm-drags free! Then mule kicks to run and ROLLING NECKBREAKER! Fallon returns to basement dropkick Kiana!

Winner: Fallon Henley, by pinfall (advances to NXT Deadline)
Jacy is frustrated on Thea’s behalf, she really thought Thea had this one. But with Kiana and Roxie taking each other out, it’s Fallon who will be heading to the Iron Survivor Challenge! Will it be #YEEHAWB*TCH from start to finish in the final Premium Live Event of the year?
Backstage interview with Lyra Valkyria.
Kelly Kincaid is with the NXT Women’s Champion and notes we just saw four women put it all on the line for a shot at this title. The field is set, who does Lyra seeing at Deadline? Well, Fallon called her shot, she made it, fair play to her. But the Iron Survivor Challenge is so must-see, Lyra’s gonna fly out there to watch it herself. But then Elektra Lopez & Lola Vice walk in, and Lola says Lyra is getting ahead of herself. She’s worrying about the Iron Survivor when Lola can cash in her Breakout contract any time she wants. She might even go to Deadline to “watch,” too. Or, she might cash it in tonight.
Well, the power’s in your hands, Lola. Lyra is ready when Lola is. Lola says she’s always ready. Lopez says Lyra might get an early Christmas present and Lola will cash in for the tag titles instead. Oh, now that seems like a great idea! Tatum? Where’d you come from? Mind your own business. Oh, sounds like someone’s projecting. But let’s see if Lola IS always ready. Because Tatum is. Lopez has Lola stand down, wait for being in the ring. Tatum smiles and Lyra is confused. What is going on in Tatum’s twisted mind?
Wes Lee is walking in… on crutches?
The Cardiac Kid is supposed to be challenging Dirty Dom, but is he about to forfeit that opportunity? He’s headed to gorilla, we’ll find out after the break.
NXT returns with Wes Lee in the ring.
Fans cheer but Wes doesn’t look all that happy right now. “Look, y’all. We are four days away from Deadline. I was imagining smacking Dirty Dom all around the Total Mortgage Arena, hearing that one-two-three and then Alicia’s beautiful, angelic voice announcing, ‘AND NEW! NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION!’ But unfortunately, it won’t be happening like that. Now, I don’t say this out of uncertainty or doubt, because one-on-one, man to man, Dominik Mysterio cannot handle the heart from the King of the Wes Side. The same heart that will take on any and every opponent, under any circumstance!
“The same heart that all of you (in attendance), and all of you (at home) cheered and supported week in and week out, and gave me the strength to do things I never thought I could!” Fans cheer that! But that support won’t help Wes now… It won’t bring back the feeling to his leg. And it will not eliminate the excruciating pain he is in just by standing here right now. It’s gonna take surgery… and time… Wes cries as he says he is unsure when we will see Wes again, but just as he rose from the ashes to become one of the greatest champions in this NXT ring, he will return to further cement his legacy as one of the best to ever do this!
Fans cheer again, and Wes says this is not good-bye. And he is far from being done. “Let’s just say… for now, see you later.” The fans cheer for Wes, but wait! Here comes Dom! Fans boo as Dom mockingly says, “Aww… Look everyone! Wes Lee is going home! Again!” Dom steps into the ring with Wes, and he says he doesn’t doubt Wes needs surgery. It looks like Wes can barely stand. But he will tell Wes something. Imagine how Dom’s back feels from carrying ALL of the WWE the past two YEARS! While Wes is gone for another year recovering, sitting at home, like the rest of these people, watch what Dom does with this title.
And since Wes won’t be at Deadline, guess Dom has the night off to chill with Mami. Wes tells Dom whoa, pump the breaks. Dom will NOT have a match against Wes at Deadline. But he is still gonna defend the title. Don’t take Wes’s word for it. Take it from someone Dom is related to. Rey is on the tron!? Rey says sadly, Saturday is not a night off. Dom will be defending the title, and Rey will be there to be in the corner of the man who will take the title off Dom! And that man is… Rey’s brother, the future of lucha libre, DRAGON LEE!! Good luck, son. See you Saturday!
From one Lee to another, Dragon steps back into NXT for one more shot! Dom takes a swing but Dragon fires off first! Dragon whips, Dom reverses but Dragon CLOBBERS him! Dragon hauls Dom up but Dom gets loose! Dom runs away, but Dragon holds up the belt! Is the Boy Wonder going to finally humble Mami’s boy?
Kiana James enters the medical trainer’s room.
And she is not happy. But then in hurries Izzi Dame? She asks if Kiana is okay. Kiana says she knows Izzi has her back, but the next time they see Roxie, they will end her. Oh is that so? Roxie is just down the way, and she rushes up to attack! The refs back these two off, Ava Raine runs in and says this is enough! They want a solution, fine! Ava will make this official for Saturday! Whoa, since when was Ava in conflict resolution? And will Deadline be just the place for Roxie and Kiana to put this to bed?
NXT, great ready for the MEN’s Breakout Tournament!
Riley Osborne, “The Livewire!” Keanu Carver isn’t here to break out, he’s here to break bodies! Tavion Heights is ready to reach the top! Dion Lennox has the formula of competitive fury, ferocity, passion and work ethic unmatched! Luca Crusifino, the Legal Eagle, is ready to file a motion of victory! Myles Borne is the last of a dying breed, and he’s gonna make his mark. Trey Bearhill will change the landscape! Oba Femi is going to unleash his judgment! This tournament begins next week!
Tatum Paxley VS Lola Vice w/ Elektra Lopez!
While she’s standing by the NXT Women’s Champion, Tatum is also standing behind her and watching her from the shadows… But will she also stand in the way of those who want after Lyra? Or will the MMA Mamacita break through Tatum to cash in that Breakout contract?
The bell rings, the two tie up and Lola waistlocks. Tatum elbows free, then dodges the boot! Tatum spider-walks a bit, which does creep Lola out a little. Lola runs up, Tatum wrenches her arm and wrangles her down. BRIDGING FUJIWARA! But Lola ghost pins, TWO! Lola sweeps the leg, then booty bumps Tatum! Lola then drops on Tatum for a headlock and grinds her down. Tatum fights up, powers out, but Lola ducks to whip Tatum. Lola then gets a SLEEPER HOLD! Tatum powers out, but Lola SPINEBUSTERS! Tatum scrambles to the apron, Lola storms up but Taum RAMS into her!
Tatum then goes up the ropes to springboard MISSILE DROPKICK! Fans rally up, Tatum stalks Lola all the way to ropes. Tatum throws forearms but the ref has her back off. Tatum grabs Lola’s arms, CHOKES her on the ropes then stomps her down as she lets off! Tatum drags Lola to a cover, TWO! Tatum snarls, drags Lola up and bumps her off buckles! Tatum runs in, CROSSBODY in the corner! Lola stumbles, Tatum comes back, but into a TRIANGLE HOLD! Tatum powers Lola around to POWERBOMB her down! Fans rally and duel but Tatum stomps away on Lola!
Tatum CLUBS Lola, drags her around, then step-up SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! Lola hangs in there but Tatum wraps her up in body scissors. Lola endures, the fans rally, and Lola pries at the hold. Lola turns around to ground ‘n’ pound Tatum! Then TRIANGLE HOLD! Tatum stacks it to a cover, TWO! Tatum kicks low, brings Lola around, but Lola gets the leg! KNEEBAR!! Tatum flails, reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Lola lets go, to KICK Tatum! Tatum returns, but into a BODY BLOW! And an URAKEN! Lola kicks and SPIN BUZZSAWS! Then SPINNING SOBAT! Lola fires up, runs in, HIP ATTACK!
Lola drags Tatum to the cover, TWO! Tatum survives but Lola drags her up, HIP- ROLL-UP!! TWO!! Lola ROUNDHOUSES Tatum down! Cover, Lola wins!
Winner: Lola Vice, by pinfall
Buenas noches from Lola and she takes the win! Will she dance her way right to becoming NXT Women’s Champion?
NXT shares footage from last week after the show.
Axiom checks in on Nathan Frazer. Tough fight, huh? Yeah, you should see the other guy. Axiom did. It seems like Frazer pushed Dragunov’s buttons and paid for it. Maybe he needs this? A mask? No! Give him a heads up next time, too. Axiom says Frazer is a smart guy, he should’ve known better. Kinda got what he deserved. Oh, one fight ends and another begins, huh? No, Axiom isn’t picking a fight. But if Frazer wants to act like Axiom is responsible for how Frazer looks and wants to do something about it, then okay. They can go like they did back in the day.
Yeah, Frazer is ready for them to beat the hell out of each other. But then shake hands after. Yeah, then they can leave this behind them. Alright, but Frazer says fair warning, amigo. Axiom’s face is gonna look a lot worse after Frazer’s done with him. Oh no~, Axiom can’t afford to lose his money maker. The Undeniable Truth and the Jersey Island Rocket are going to go another round, who wins out in their friendly competition?
Baron Corbin arrives backstage.
Kelly Kincaid finds him first and says we are four days away from Deadline- Yes, four days until Corbin captures “the last piece of the puzzle.” Wait, isn’t he worried about the match? Dragunov is ready to snap! Doesn’t Corbin want security out there later tonight? Corbin chuckles and asks if Kelly really thinks he needs security. No, he has Dragunov right where he wants him: out of his mind and out of control. It will be so sweet to take that title off Dragunov this Saturday. Mr. No BS is feeling extremely confident, but is he really in control of the situation?
NXT Anonymous is watching.
More footage from October 17th! Trick Melo Gang was talking it out backstage, they were good, and Trick headed out. Melo then got on his phone and strated texting. But with who?
Joe Gacy is in the crowd?
And he’s shouting that everyone loves Vic Joseph! Big thumbs up from Joe, but uh… is he okay?
Mixed Six Tag: The Alpha Academy VS The Meta Four!
Chad Gable got so fed up with Noam Dar and his little friends cheating wins away, the challenge was made to go all out and leave the numbers game behind. Surprisingly, the Scottish Supernova accepted! Will Dar, his Main Man Mensah & Lash Legend win big going into Deadline? Or will Coach Gable, his number one guy, Otis, and Maxxine the Alpha Queen finally SHOOOOOSH them?
NXT returns as the Meta Four makes their entrance. The trios sort out and Gable starts against Dar. They circle, Dar kicks and kicks but Gable shoots in for a waistlock. Gable spins Dar, waistlocks again, rides him as Dar tries to scramble away, and they end up on ropes. Dar turns things around, the ref counts, and Dar lets off, to cheap shot! Just like in their Heritage Cup match! So Gable SPINEBUSTERS Dar! Cover, ONE, but Gable has the leg! ANKLE LOCK!! Dar flails, ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Lash protests, and Gable lets go. Dar tags out to Oro and he circles with Gable.
Oro taunts Gable, but Gable turns the Meta Four M into “A THANK YEW~!” Oro gets mad, takes a swing, but Gable CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Gable whips corner to corner, Oro reverses but Gable goes up and over. Oro sweeps the legs! Fans boo but Oro clinches. Gable slips out, Oro bucks the O’Conner, but Gable avoids the sweep to arm-drag! And another arm-drag! Gable armlocks Oro, drags him around, but Oro reaches up. Gable blocks that kick, Oro stands and Gable says “SHOOOOSH~!” Oro ROLLING- NO, Gable blocks the kick again, and back to the ANKLE LOCK!
Oro flails, reaches out, tag to Lash! That brings in Maxxine and fans fire up! Wait, Otis, no, you stay out. Maxxine and Lash talk trash, then Lash ROCKS Maxxine! Lash whips Maxxine to a corner, but Maxxine BOOTS back! Maxxine runs, RAN- NO, Lash blocks that to get Maxxine up! But Maxxine RANAS after all! Cover, TWO! Maxxine kicks low, reels Lash in, but Lash fights the suplex! Maxxine still tries but Lash CLUBS her! Lash whips Maxxine, Maxxine leaps, but Lash catches her! Dar tags in, Lash TOSSES Maxxine! Otis storms in and fans fire up! Dar runs in to fire off on Otis!
Dar headlocks, Otis powers out and runs Dar over! Dar gets up, runs to BLAST Gable! Then he dodges Otis, baits him in, Otis hits buckles! Dar fires off, tags Oro, and they mug Otis! They try to suplex, but Otis DOUBLE SUPLEXES them! Fans fire up, Gable tags in! Gable goes up, DOUBLE FLYING CLOTHESLINES! The fans fire up as the Academy goes after Meta Four on the outside! The fans fire up even more as NXT goes to break!
NXT returns and Gable throws body shots on Dar. Gable then waistlocks but Dar elbows free. Gable ROCKS Dar, but Dar ducks to RABBIT PUNCH! Dar then whips, but Gable reverses to GERMAN SUPLEX! Fans fire up while both men are down! Dar and Gable both crawl, hot tags to Otis and Oro! They run in, Oro dodges Oro to POUNCE! Then a scoop and a SLAM! Otis stalks Oro, whips him to ropes, and WRECKER ELBOWS! Dar runs in but Otis choke grips! Otis POP-UP POWERBOMBS Dar! Fans fire up but Oro JUMP KNEES Otis! QUEBRADA, but Otis catches Oro to POWERSLAM!
Fans fire up with Otis, and he hits the CATERPILLAR ELBOW! Otis roars, Oro flounders! Hot tag to Lash! Lash steps to Otis and dares him to… Oh, well, not that jiggling and gyrating! Otis runs in, Lash dodges, and she scoops?! And she SLAMS Otis?!? No one can believe it! But while Lash fires up, Maxxine climbs up! FLYING RANA! And a ROUNDHOUSE! Maxxine reels Lash in, to snap suplex! Cover, Oro breaks it! The ref reprimands, but Maxxine fires off on Oro! Fans fire up more and then Gable clotheslines Oro up and out! Maxxine runs up to BOOT Lash into Otis’ arms! Otis smiles but Lash freaks out!
Oro BOOTS Otis, but Gable gives Maxxine a boost! SUPER CROSSBODY! Maxxine wipes out everyone! But Dar aims at Gable! NOVA- NO!! ANKLE LOCK!! GRAPEVINE!!! Dar flails, fans are going nuts, DAR TAPS!!! Academy wins!!
Winners: The Alpha Academy, by submission
And this time, Dar’s tap-out is on record! Will Gable get himself one more shot at the Heritage Cup? And will that shot be another victory for the Academy?
Gallus meets at the pub.
Joe Coffey points out some visitors. Hank ‘n’ Tank are here. Are they lost? They cdan leave through the doors, or the windows. Their choice. Oh…! This is their place? Duh, the banners, makes sense. They trying to be funny? No, not at all. Here, three beers, on Hank ‘n’ Tank. They wanna talk business. Well, alright. You two have until they’re done drinking. Well, Hank ‘n’ Tank were thinking: What’s gonna help them get to the next level as a tag team? They want it all! Glory, championships, everything! But they know they won’t get it overnight.
So they gotta pick a fight with the guys who’ve done it all, and no team in NXT is as decorated as Gallus. Whoa, you wanna face them? For real? Absolutely not. There are plenty of other teams that wanna slap Hank ‘n’ Tank around anyway. Oh, okay. Maybe they can put this in a language Gallus understands. Right, let’s get them haggis and watch a Glasgow rager! Okay, that’s it. Oh, see? Embrace that! Embrace the annoyance you feel dealing with them. But let’s not mess up this nice bar. They can do this in the ring. Next Tuesday. Oh, so if they get their match for next Tuesday, Hank ‘n’ Tank will leave? Yep.
Okay then. See you next week. But remember, learn to walk before you can run. Hank ‘n’ Tank go, but will they be in over their heads against the Gallus boys?
Backstage interview with Ava Raine.
She’s just come from HBK’s office and NXT media asks what the meeting was about. They’re four days away from Deadline, and things are out of control. We all saw what went down in the trainer’s room, right? So since Roxie and Kiana can’t keep away from each other, it is official: Roxie VS Kiana at Deadline, in a STEEL CAGE MATCH! Ava just helped solidify one powerful grudge match, who makes it out of the cage as the alpha female?
Byron Saxton is in the ring.
And with Deadline just days away, he is with the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge field. Byron introduces them, from Tiffany Stratton to Lash Legend, to Blair Davenport, to Kelani Jordan, and lastly, Fallon Henley. Byron reminds us the winner of this match will be next in line to challenge Lyra for her NXT Women’s Championship. Tonight, they will all have a chance to tell us why they will be THE Iron Survivor. Byron talked with them beforehand, and they agreed to keep this civil. However, if someone does happen to mention another, that person is allowed to quickly respond.
With that said, Tiff is first. TIff says there’s no other way to start this, is there? It all starts and ends with the Center of the Universe. Besides, Tiff is the favorite going into the match. Not only because she’s the most gifted, talented and athletic, but c’mon, Charlotte Flair herself gave Tiff a shoutout as the future of the Women’s Division! Who else can say that? Ummm… No one. Besides, she’s the only one in this match who’s already held the NXT Women’s Championship, so it is only a matter of time before she reclaims the Tiffy Title to become Tiffy Two Time. All she sees is four participation trophies and one winner.
Yes, she is the most decorated in this match, but perhaps the one with the most potential is Kelani Jordan. Kelani, how do you plan on being the Iron Survivor? Kelani says Byron is saying things she already knows. Yes, she’s the new girl, the one with the least experience. She doesn’t know what to expect, but who does? Last time she checked, none of the others were in that match, either. If anything, she has prepped her entire life for this! Her outstanding gymnastics career has made her endurance top notch! So she knows how to go 25 minutes. And when she steps in there, she’ll cut a pace none of these girls could keep up with, even if they tried.
Tiff speaks up to say that for the record, she did gymnastics, too. Well, we’ll just see if Tiff can keep up. Don’t “Tiff” to Tiff, ew. Okay, please keep things on track. Moving on, Lash Legend! ‘Bout time, Byron! First off, Kelani, real cute. Too bad no one wants to hear you speak, okay? And second, Tiff claims to be the most athletic. Beg to differ. But Tiff was looking real athletic when she let Becky take the title, mm-hmm! So Tiff can say tootles to the title again. Now, since y’all wanna talk strategy, um, hello? Have you not seen her with Heritage Cup Champion, Noam Dar? So she thinks she’s learned a thing or two about multiple pinfalls, okay? So SKRRT!
If you wanna know the strategy, it’s simple: She bougie, and no matter how many others are in the ring, she’ll bully all y’all’s skinny asses into that penalty box! Thank you. Kelani asks what the excuse will be when the new girls ends HER ASS to the box? Lash says that ain’t gonna happen, rookie, tone it down. Byron says things are getting tense here. Blair gets a turn. Sorry, she’s not here to one-up everyone with witty one liners, that’s not her style. She doesn’t like anyone here in this ring, and she doesn’t really care about their opinions. But notice no one is coming at her because they are all afraid they will be on the shelf next to Nikkita Lyons and Sol Ruca!
Gigi tried but Blair took care of her, too. So if you all thought she was vicious before, you have- Fallon says we get it. She doesn’t care about anyone. Just like Fallon doesn’t care whose ass she’ll have to kick to become #1 contender. She might even knock Blair out in the box! And if “Lashy Poo” wants to take this to the Metaverse, no problem! And nothing would thrill Fallon more than knocking “Tiffy Wiffy” right off her high horse! And, Kelani, Fallon has no beef, but they’re after the same thing, and anything goes in this Iron Survivor Challenge. Fallon is all hyped up after her win tonight! And she’ll ride that momentum right to Deadline!
Lash wants to speak up but then Tiff speaks up over her, saying Fallon has NO chance in this match. It’s really a waste for the Last Chance to go to Fallon. What a tragedy! Lash hits the brakes extra hard on Tiff. Lash knows you didn’t just cut her off. Oh, she did. Get over it. Fallon says wasting a chance on her? Tiff better count her blessings- Byron has everyone stop! They said they weren’t gonna do this! Byron, y’know what they say? Well-behaved women seldom make history. So Tiffy… YEEHAW B*TCH!! Then she DECKS Tiff! The fight is on! Byron bails out, all five throw hands! Fans fire up, refs rush in, but will there be no stopping this once we’re on the clock?
Axiom VS Nathan Frazer!
These two have gone back and forth in the past, and they’re gonna go one more time around! But will Axiom just be adding insult to injury? Or will Frazer rebound after getting beat down by Dragunov?
The bell rings, Axiom avoids a kick but so does Frazer. Frazer waistlocks, Axiom elbows free! Axiom ducks ‘n’ ddoges and arm-drags, but Frazer deflects the dropkick! QUEBRADA, but Axiom snapmares! Axiom whips but Frazer reverses only for Axiom to roll. Frazer RANAS but Axiom handsprings through! Fans fire up as these two stand off, then they both BOOT! They’re so much alike, they were on the same wavelength there! Fans rally up, both men rise, and Frazer fires forearms! Axiom fires back! They go back and forth, Frazer swings but into a SLEEPER! Frazer hits an ELBOW BREAKER!
Frazer runs, Axiom CLOBBERS him! Axiom runs, Frazer SUPERKICKS! Frazer runs, but Axiom turns the Quebrada into SLIDING GERMAN!! Fans fire up and Axiom hurries up top! CROSS- SUPERKICK!! Cover, TWO!! Axiom survives, Frazer hurries to the corner. Frazer springboards but Axiom GAMANGIRIS! Frazer falls to the floor and Axiom goes up and up and GOLDEN TRIANGLE! Direct hit at the ramp and the fans fire up! Axiom hurries over to Frazer, but wait! The ladies are still fighting! They’re headed down to ringside so the fellas get in the ring! The refs rush out, the match is thrown out!
No Contest
The brawl continues, fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” and Blair slips away. Blair laughs at the chaos, but uh… NIKKITA LYONS IS BACK!! And she ROUND HOUSES Blair! Nikkita says this lion has the eye of the tiger! Fans fire up for Nikkita’s return, will Blair have to be careful even after Deadline?
Andre Chase talks with the students.
He thanks them for joining him at this assembly. Chase University is an establishment for shaping the young minds of future sports entertainers. Normally, these assemblies are to celebrate the accomplishments of one of their own. But as we all saw last week, this is anything but a celebration. The misuse of university funds and illegal gambling on campus have rocked this institution to its core. But to make one thing perfectly clear, the person responsible for putting this university into severe debt and compromising position… is Chase. What?! Thea & Jacy don’t seem as surprised.
Chase says as the founder, he fell short of the example he was supposed to set, and is disappointed for such continual lapses in judgment that led us to this delicate position. Now, the most important thing on everyone’s minds: how does this affect the students? Chase will come out and say it. Due to the results of the investigation, Chase U is now under academic probation. Thea says, “Oh, great!” Duke is surprised at her attitude, but Chase says sanctions have been placed on the school. This includes students who enrolled after the investigation, they cannot get financial aid.
Thea speaks up. Couldn’t it be easier to know what they have to do if Chase just told them the amount he owes? The others agree! Chase sighs, and says he owes… hundreds of THOUSANDS of dollars. And not just the loan, but also interest because he went through a third party. A loan shark? Way to go, Professor. Chase says after losing his own personal finances, he dug into university assets. Which in turn caused him to go to an organization he now can’t pay back. This puts himself and the university in a very compromising position. Wait, Tony D’Angelo’s cousin, Adriana Rizzo, is in the room…
Chase says he got them into this mess, so dammit, he’ll get them out of it! He will restore this university to its full glory as quickly and efficiently as possible! Duke asks that other than selling his MVP trophy, because he isn’t gonna, what else can they do to help? Chase opens the floor to ideas, and one student suggests a bake sale. Duke says no, that won’t work. Jacy has an idea but another student suggests a car wash. Better… Jacy still wants to go, but then- Wait, is that Riley Osborne? He suggests a crash course on avoiding financial crisis. He just thinks that’d spark ideas on how to get the school out of debt, while also being educational.
Thea looks love struck… Jacy snaps Thea out of it by throwing paper at her. Is she okay? Y-Yeah, she’s doing great. Chase thanks Riley for the idea, and says to the class that he knows this is unsettling. But they can get through this together. Thank you. Chase heads out, Adriana shakes her head. Is the D’Angelo Family not going to make it that easy on Professor Chase?
Trick finds Melo backstage.
And he asks what the hell, man! Melo knows what Trick is thinking, and it ain’t what he’s thinking. Then what was it? Melo says he’s locked in, he has the Last Chance, he needs to handle this. No, man, Trick needs answers. Melo sighs, but he says they can talk after. Trick rolling with him? No, dawg. This is Melo’s last chance with Trick. Melo heads out, will Trick Melo Gang both be going to Deadline with baggage?
Lexis King speaks.
“Man, ever since last week, my socials have been poppin’ off! Seems like the entire internet is talking about this leaked footage of me, saying I should be worried and that I’ve been incriminated. But I’m here to tell y’all the exact opposite. I’m just chilling right here on my throne. Heck, I should’ve known the cameras would find me. When you’re a big star like me, the camera always finds you. Ain’t that right, Carmelo Hayes? Now we got ’em talking. We got ’em talking about your match tonight. They’re talking about how Lexis King is supposed to interfere. But I wouldn’t do that. I wouldn’t interfere in my friend’s match and cost him an opportunity at Deadline.
“Now I know we’re not besties, we’ve had a bit of a rocky relationship, but I do think that we are gonna be on the same page very soon. Y’know why? Because I know for a fact that Melo Doesn’t Miss. And now Melo knows that Lexis King doesn’t miss, either. So good luck, my friend, because Deadline awaits. Man, I love it when a plan comes together.” Is King speaking out of both sides of his mouth? Or just his ass?
Men’s Iron Survivor Challenger Last Chance Fatal 4 Way: Tyler Bate VS Joe Coffey VS Eddy Thorpe VS Carmelo Hayes!
The Big Strong Boi, the Iron King and the Alpha Wolf all want their shot in the Iron Survivor Challenge, but none of them are HIM. Will Melo make good on going back to back at Deadline? Or will his issues with Trick keep him from making his shots?
NXT returns as Bate makes his entrance, followed by Coffey. Kelly is with Eddy backstage, and asks how his ribs are feeling. Not great. He’s nowhere near 100% thanks to Bron Breakker and then Drew Gulak and his goons. But tonight is too important! If Eddy wins, not only is he in the Iron Survivor, but he has a shot at the guy who hurt him in the first place in Dijak. Eddy makes his entrance and the bell rings.

Winner: Tyler Bate, by pinfall (advances to NXT Deadline)
The Big Strong Boi shocks Melo, Melo really thought this was his match to win! But now, Melo has no golden ticket to Connecticut, and he might not even have a friend waiting him in the back. Has Melo truly lost it all?
As for Bate, he gets the mic to officially say it! He is the last man in the Iron Survivor Challenge at Deadline! And trust him, Bate knows what awaits him. This match is a match unlike any other! And usually, he’s all peace and tranquility, BUT TO HELL WITH THAT! Come Saturday, those four men aren’t gonna stand a chance against him! But then Dijak walks out here to tell Tyler Bate that his adrenaline must be through the roof. Because he’s about as delusional as Eddy. Speaking of Eddy, hold on. Dijak BOOTS Eddy down!! Fans boo as Dijak then says to take the trash out!
Dijak continues towards the ring to tell Tyler that he calls himself the Big Strong Boi. He must have a big strong heart, too. And that thing must be working in overdrive if he thinks he has a snowball’s chance in hell this Saturday! Bate says he has more than that. But wait, here comes Bron! And Bron says it seems that these two have no idea what they’re in for on Saturday. Bate and Dijak better hope and pray that Bron is last to enter, because if he’s not, they’re all going to the penalty box! And from where Bron’s standing, that’s the safest place to be. So his advice: stay in the box. Save yourselves and your careers.
But here comes Briggs! Another week of Badass Bron threatening people. Oh, you gonna interrupt Bron now, Briggs? Well what’s Bron gonna do? Come after him? Good, cuz he’s banking on it! And he knows the others are underestimating Briggs. But he likes it like that. Briggs has been waiting on this moment his entire damn life! And right now, he is betting on himself. At Deadline, Briggs will shock the world! Bron asks if he actually believes that, because that makes Briggs dumber than he looks. But wait! Here comes TRICK! Fans fire up with “Whoop Dat Trick!”
Trick says he’s not in the mood, so it’s straight to business: At Deadline, he’ll whoop dat trick, dat trick, dat trick, and- Dijak says the only trick that is getting whooped is his so-called best friend that- TRICK DECKS DIJAK! Fan sfire up and the brawl is on! Briggs is after Bron, Bate helps Trick with Dijak! Security rushes out here, fans chant “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” as the hands keep flying! Bron breaks free to LEAP onto everyone else! Will nothing stop these five from tearing down the ring this Saturday?
Melo talks with Ava backstage.
He can’t believe the nonsense King is speaking. Melo knows she’s been getting things done, so if Ava can do this for him, it’s on with him. Ava says consider it done. Ava heads out, but Trick walks in. Cut the crap, Melo. Yes or no, did Melo text King to take Trick out? Of course not! Why would he? Trick doesn’t know, because nothing makes sense anymore! Melo says Trick didn’t see who did it, but he knows in his heart it wasn’t Melo. And outside that it’s just noise. Then why are there videos of Melo and King working together? Melo would never work with that sucker. And to prove it, Melo is gonna whoop King’s ass on Saturday!
What’s Melo talking about? Melo just talked with Ava, and she’s gonna talk with HBK to get it done. Melo won’t just stand on his word, he’ll stan don business. Good, stand on business. Come Saturday, Melo opens the show, and Trick closes it. Trick heads out but that clearly doesn’t sit well with HIM. Will Melo put his pride aside to prove he is still Trick’s friend?
BREAKING NEWS for Deadline!
To make up for Axiom and Frazer not getting their rematch, they will try again as part of the Deadline Kickoff Show!
Ilja Dragunov and Baron Corbin are in the ring.
They sit across from each other at the table, and Corbin says he’ll start as he is the challenger. But Dragunov says no he will not! Dragunov stands up, throws his chair aside, and then tells Corbin, “You have turned this championship match into something more than just a battle for the title on my shoulder. A championship that you have actually failed to capture before, right? Baron, you brought my personal life into this. And guess what? You can mock my accent, you can mock my demeanor, you can question the fire and the intensity. I can handle that.
“But the sacrifices that I make for my son so that he can have a better life, that is a line that you have crossed! And this Saturday, your body will pay for this!” Corbin says, “Sacrifices, hmm? What you call sacrifices, I call excuses. If you wanted to bring your family, you could have. There’s always a way. But no, Ilja, you turned your back on your son, you walked out the door, you got on a plane, and you left. So those are excuses you tell yourself so you can go to sleep in that cold, lonely apartment at night.
“And Ilja, what you’re doing to your son right now… Well, that’s exactly what your father did to you.” Dragunov gets heated again and Corbin asks if that stung. The veins are popping out. Dragunov throws off the jacket and tie! Fans fire up and Corbin chuckles. Dragunov huffs and puffs and says he is trying. Trying to contain this. Because if he unleashes it now and not on Saturday, then there will be no NXT Championship match at Deadline. And Corbin will leave this place tonight in an ambulance with no opportunity to have the title to add to his lavish life! With his fancy cars and expensive watches! Oh, the things that Corbin cherishes in his life, as a materialistic SON OF A B*TCH!!
Fans fire up again and Corbin says if Dragunov thinks this is about materialism, that’s where he’s wrong. This is about vindication. Not for Dragunov but for Corbin. For Dragunov, this is another high-profile title match that Dragunov has to win to justify to his son why he is here. This is vindication for Corbin, because while all these fans will never admit it, Corbin has never stopped! Not through brand changes, not through COVID, not through the ups or the downs! Corbin has been a prominent figure on their screens for eight YEARS, and he is taking what is his.
Dragunov, Corbin sees the blood boiling. Dragunov is about to lose it, because his son misses him. And Dragunov misses his son even more! And Corbin can say that to Dragunov’s face because he is bad enough to say it. Corbin can walk down any street in the world and doesn’t have to look over his shoulder. Saturday, Dragunov will understand why! Dragunov says this is about his family? Then do something about it right now. Dragunov TOSSES the table! Yes, that’s it! Breathe the fire! You think that scares Corbin? Corbin has been through hell and back, and he always finds a way! And Saturday will be no different!
Corbin tells Dragunov he’ll help out. This is for family, right? Corbin stands the table up in the corner and tells Dragunov he gets a shot. Corbin will turn his back, Dragunov can do whatever he wants, for his family! Fans want Dragunov to do something, too, but Dragunov paces around in fury. Corbin says Saturday, he takes Dragunov’s only reason to be here. But oh, right. He’s a coward. He’ll find a way to stay. Dragunov turns Corbin around, to hug him? “The only one who can destroy the dragon is the dragon himself!” Corbin is confused as Dragunov pats him on the back and smiles. Corbin thought he was getting to Dragunov but now Dragunov has turned the tables.
Wait, the guys are still brawling! It’s just like the ladies from earlier! They’re all moving back down to ringside! And back into the ring! Dragunov and Corbin move aside for the chaos! Security gets thrown out, Trick CLUBS Bron, but Briggs fires off on Trick! Dijak CLOBBERS Bate, CLUBS Bron, but Bron TACKLES Dijak! Bate CLUBS Bron! Briggs and Trick keep going, Bate fires off on Bron, btu Bron knees Bate! Bron runs in, SPEAR on Trick AND Briggs THROUGH THE TABLE!! Bate then REBOUNDERS Dijak!! The Big Strong Boi is the last one standing, but will he be the Big Strong Iron Survivor?
My Thoughts:
An awesome NXT go-home episode, and all Deadline focused. Awesome Fatal 4 Way matches as the first and last matches tonight, and I certainly felt Fallon was winning the women’s Fatal 4. Roxie VS Kiana is happening as a grudge match at Deadline, but “steel cage” is totally code for “Izzi’s gonna help Kiana screw Roxie over.” Ghi quietly left NXT, so now Izzi gets to be the new sidekick as Kiana has moved away from her business office vignettes. And Thea has the Chase U story going right now, so Fallon gets through mostly by default. Thea suddenly crushing on Riley Osborne is an interesting detail but maybe Riley gets to represent Chase U in the Men’s Breakout Tournament.
Really good summit promo segment, though rather random. Great brawl, though, and really wild for it to even “ruin” Axiom VS Frazer. Axiom VS Frazer for the kickoff show is cool, really steps Deadline up a notch if WWE is giving it that treatment. And then the Men’s Fatal 4, a little surprised it isn’t Eddy going in given his promo just before the match. But I appreciate that per the Trick Melo Gang story, Melo VS King is happening while Trick is in the Iron Survivor match. Coffey always seems to lose the big ones, so no surprise there. So Bate winning out, I really dig that. Bate could win the whole thing and get a chance at being THE top champion in NXT as I felt he deserved long ago.
Great little match from Lola VS Tatum as part of Lola building momentum but also building Tatum’s new creepy persona. Guess Fyre & Dawn were right all along. Good long term story telling by HHHBK there. Great Mixed Sig with The Academy winning out. Gable beating Dar, that has to mean something for the following weeks. Deadline may be the last event of 2023 but that just means New Year’s Evil is the first one up for 2024. It’d be pretty cool if Gable won the Heritage Cup to start his 2024 since he doesn’t seem quite right for the Intercontinental Championship.
Great promo at the end of the show. The fans were loving both arguments, and honestly, so was I. Corbin was 100% right that, whether fans want to admit it or not, he has been solid his entire WWE run. But also, a very clever turn of events where Dragunov doesn’t demolish Corbin. Dragunov knew that’s what Corbin wanted, so he zigs instead of zags and creeps Corbin right out. This match is going to be insane, maybe the best match of either guy’s career, but I’d still give the win to Dragunov. It still feels like there’s a lot Dragunov can still do, such as face Iron Survivor Bate or the eventual Breakout winner.
But then, a bit of a bummer in the North American Championship scene. At first, Wes Lee with a walking cane seemed like a trick to lure Dom in. But given how emotional Wes was, and with Dragon Lee taking his place, that signified how legit this all is. That is a damn shame for Wes, he was finally getting going again and I was sure he was going to take the title off Dom this time. Dragon Lee being on SmackDown, Dom being on Raw, someone who isn’t full time NXT is going to be taking this title home, so I cannot be sure which way this goes.
Personally, put the title on Dragon. He can be on SmackDown with a midcard title since Logan Paul has the US Championship and won’t be around every week. And it can add to Judgment Day’s story of things falling apart with Dom’s title being the first casualty. But seriously, get the title off Dom already.
My Score: 9/10

10 Man Tag: Hiroshi Tanahashi, Toru Yano, YOH, Ryota Chikuzen & TAJIRI VS TMDK!
As The Ace’s Final Road continues to roll on, this is quite the unique stop. Sure, he’s teamed with the Clown Prince and Mr. Direct Drive before, but he is now honored to be teaming with The Makai Love Machine and yes, THE Japanese Buzzsaw! Will Tanahashi & Tajiri add to their legends with this epic team-up? Or will Zack Sabre Jr, Ryohei Oiwa, Robbie Eagles, Kosei Fujita & Hartley Jackson prove that The Mighty Don’t Kneel?

The Heat Storm was certainly on fire, but Tsuji was volcanic! The gold stays with Yota, will he and those left in LIJ make sure NJPW stays tranquilo?
Speaking of which, the rest of LIJ returns to the ring so they can stand with their guy. Tsuji gets to also have his final photo op with the group as we know it. We also get one last LIJ fist bump with the five of them, and then Naito & Bushi let Yota, Takagi & Hiromu have the ring. Yota hurries to get the mic to tell Naito & Bushi, “Let me have one last word.” The fans applaud, and Naito & Bushi stop to hear him out. “Naito and Bushi leaving could signal the end of Los Ingobernables de Japon. But remember this: We’re ungovernable. We’ll always be connected in our hearts. Until next time.” The fans applaud that! Naito even gives one last fist bump salute.
The fans cheer as the LIJ Era has changed, and Bushi makes sure we see his mask where it says, “Adios.” Then Yota continues to say that he is still IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion, and that he’ll continue to defend the cerulean blue mat of NJPW. The fans applaud, and Yota says he is fortunate to have such a great rival in Uemura. And another in Gabe Kidd. So, who should he defend this belt against next?

Winner: Hirooki Goto, by pinfall (still IWGP World Heavyweight Champion)
The Prince of Pace did his best to follow in the Aerial Assassin’s footsteps, but he is still a long way from reaching the top of the mountain. However, if this is how close he came on his first try, will nothing stop Callum Newman from being the future of NJPW?
As for Goto, the belt is put back around his waist, and he watches Callum walk away. Callum takes a moment to bow in deep respect to Goto before he and the Empire leave. Goto then grabs the mic, and the fans cheer him on. “No matter what anyone says, this is MY time!” The fans cheer that! Goto continues, “Who’s my next opponent? As a fighting champion, I’ll take on all challengers!” Wait! Zack Sabre Jr. makes his way back out here! Goto took this title from ZSJ so clearly ZSJ wants a rematch. ZSJ grabs a mic to tell Goto in Japanese, “Good work tonight. That was a fantastic match! Truly fantastic.
“You’ve been on a roll lately! You’re indeed a great champion. But I’m you’re next challenger!” The fans like the sound of that! Goto says, “I accept!” The fans really like that, and the two shake hands on it. Will the Submission Master make sure that- WAIT! Shingo Takagi is here?! He storms into the ring with a mic to say, “Pardon the intrusion!” The fans cheer as Takagi asks, “Mind if I speak my piece? Zack, hold on a moment. OI, GOTO! You really are something. You got a belt, a wife, and kids! And on top of that, you’re in Hontai!” The fans do applaud that with a bit of a chuckle.
Takagi points out that he, on the other hand, has no belt, no wife, no kids. “And now it looks like my faction is done… But that doesn’t mean I need to hang my head. I’ll soar to the top!” The fans applaud, and Takagi says the G in IWGP stands for Goto, right? But oi, oi, oi! You can’t spell “Shingo” OR “Takagi” without a G! He has two G’s, so he wants his shot at the title. At least, he’d like to say that. But he has no objects to Zack. Takagi did lose to ZSJ last time. So then Takagi will wait to challenge the winner of Goto VS ZSJ! The fans like that, too! Takagi says if it’s about G’s, Goto can’t argue Takagi’s point!
The three men all look to each other, and it looks like the deal is struck. Fierce Warrior VS Front Man, and the Rampaging Dragon gets the winner! Who will stand on the summit of NJPW going into the summer? Takagi and ZSJ take their leave, and Goto continues. “Again, thank you very much for coming today!” The fans applaud, and Goto says, “No matter who I’m up against, I will not be defeated. The Goto Revolution is far from over! Follow it until the very end! Let’s end with Goto’s G’s.” The fans chuckle, and Goto says he knows most of the locales had G in their names. But not in Fukuoka…
Even so, Goto still has this IWGP World title around his waist, so no worries there. IKU ZO! The fans cheer, and Goto says, “The G in IWGP is for GOTO!” The streamers fly, and the Fierce Warrior is ready to lead NJPW on! But will things only heat up from here on out?
My Thoughts:
An awesome event for Wrestling Dontaku’s finale, and we’re already building towards Dominion next month. I was rather surprised that the Six Woman Tag was so quick. Well, I feel like a lot of Stardom matches on a NJPW show end up like that… But the 10 Man Tag with Tanahashi’s team beating TMDK, and then the 8 Man Tag of LIJ winning, both of those matches felt just as fast/short. I suppose on some level, they did it because we all had a feeling who was winning. Tanahashi’s team wins because he also had special guests Tajiri and Ryota, so that was just a great moment for some longstanding legends.
LIJ winning was apparently to also commemorate their last match as a faction. With Titan being their CMLL member, we only have Hiromu, Takagi and Tsuji. I suppose a trio isn’t necessarily a faction, but I’m surprised they just sprang this dissolution on us. Great match from Yota VS Yuya, but I think they dragged it out a bit at the start. It got hot by the end, and Yota retaining was a great move. Gabe Kidd calling his shot is also a great move, he and Yota are going to have a great rematch from their time limit draw. And then awesome main event from Goto VS Callum, with Callum looking great even in defeat. Callum is definitely on his way, maybe he’ll really build up his power level in the G1 Climax this year.
Great promo to close, with Goto, ZSJ and Takagi establishing the next couple of title shots. I think Goto VS ZSJ has been made for Resurgence this Friday, so they’re getting that right out of the way so Takagi can face the champion at Dominion. At the same time, they kinda have to because Best of the Super Juniors is going to dominate May. Resurgence would be a wild place for a title change since it’s in the US and it’s a true PPV, so I’m not liking ZSJ’s chances.
My Score: 9.1/10

The #TCM, Toni’s Classic Move, wins it for her, and Luther hands her a mic. Toni rests on the mat while she says, “This Whore You All Adore… This Slut You Can’t Rebut… This tramp is still THE CHAMP! And my gawd, what a frosty little slop tart. Now I know there’s a fresh batch of tarts back there, wanting to take a shot at this wide load that holds the gold. Yes, that’s right. Everyone’s coming for Toni Storm. But you got it all wrong, darling! Toni Storm comes for everybody! So if you’re tits can take the hits, then I’m not a hard woman to find. I could be right here.” Then she goes outside and says she could be here, or here next to this man.
Or here, down the ramp. Here with this gentlemen, by the stage, or on this bloody boardwalk! Toni goes outside of the arena and says she will be ready, sweaty, here, queer, and TIMELESS~! Toni revels in the brisk evening air of the Atlantic City beach, but who will look to ruin all the fun?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac AEW World Champion says, “When Katsuyori Shibata woke up on Wednesday morning, his fate was already sealed. He may as well have already been in the hospital. There’s nothing you can do about it, Joe, so I don’t want you to feel bad that all of the people closest to you are dropping like flies. And I struggle to find reasons to dislike Samoa Joe, I really do. The guy defined professional wrestling for a whole generation of us guys. He deserves the respect he commands. Samoa Joe is beyond reproach. But so was Bryan Danielson. Something to think about.
“Steel Cage for the world championship in Chicago. There’s this notion, this idea, that I should be scared to step into a steel cage with Samoa Joe. When you’re the world champion, every opponent is dangerous, every match is hard, every day is hard. I’m gonna do what I always do: my job. And I am exceptional at my job. You wanna lock me inside a steel cage? Lock it. Lock the door, man. This is always how this was gonna end. My affairs are in order. But if you subscribe to this notion that I should be scared, well then you haven’t been paying attention, Joe. You better make sure you thought things through.”
The Maniac has issued a warning, but will Joe even acknowledge it? Or will Joe make Moxley realize what fear really is?
$100,000 High Speed Fatal 4 Way: Rush VS Sammy Guevara w/ Dustin Rhodes VS AR Fox VS Kevin Knight!
Tony Khan’s dishing out more money, and each man has a 25% chance of bringing that jackpot home! Will El Toro Blanco, the Spanish God, the Whole Fox’n Show or The Jet be rolling in dough just in time for Mother’s Day?

Rush has the fans behind him right now as he and Knight speed up.
Knight drops down, then hurdles over, but Rush leaps! They keep moving, Knight scoops and SLAMS! Then UFO- NO, Rush moves! Rush arm-drags Knight, Knight arm-drags Rush, and then dropkicks cancel out! Both men kip up and the fans fire up! Cole is still on commentary, he likes this one, too. But then Fox and Sammy DROPKICK Rush and Knight out of the ring! The fans fire up for Fox and Sammy, Fox BOOST the lariat away to then tilt-o-whirl and waistlock. Sammy switches, Fox switches, and Fox shoves Sammy. Fox then blows past Sammy, but Sammy hurdles, backflips, and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up so Sammy takes a bow.

Samoa Joe speaks.
“Hello, Jon. I hope you’ll forgive me, I’m not there at Collision this week, but it’s only because I’m paying you respect by being here in my gym, preparing for what I’ll do to you in a few short weeks. What that is, Jon, is helping you understand. I’m gonna help you understand what happens when you call a man like me out. And you’re going to understand that what you have done to Hook and Shibata is going to be visited upon your man, Claudio, next week. And that all starts with me understanding a little bit about you, Jon. See, I understand that you have the ruthless streak that is required to take on someone like me.
“I understand that you have the ability and the will to come after someone like me. But you see, Jon, I had to put this match in a cage. Cuz there’s something else that I understand about you. The Jon Moxley I look at today doesn’t have the heart to stand in front of me. The Jon Moxley I see today doesn’t have the balls to get into a ring and get into an actual firefight with a man like me. And Jon, come Chicago, at Beach Break, I will break you. And when you turn around to run, with nowhere to go, I am Samoa Joe. I will be the next AEW World Champion. And Jon Moxley, I will make you understand.”

Just what the hell is it, Joe, that I don’t understand?”
The fans chant for Joe, and sing, “Joe is gonna kill~ you!” Moxley asks how Joe is gonna explain something to him inside a steel cage. What? Is Joe gonna kick his ass? The fans chant “YES!” So Joe is gonna beat Moxley up? “YES!” Oh, is that what they think? “YES!” Right… Moxley has faced all the supposed baddest men in the business, all shaped and sizes, all organizations and in all countries. Just name one. They all said the same thing as you’re saying, Joe! They were thinking the same things Joe is thinking, until they weren’t! Moxley knows the moment it happens, he can feel it when it happens! Every time!
He feels it every time when they realize they don’t wanna be here anymore. When they stop trying to win and they start trying to survive, and then realize they aren’t in a chess match, but they are in a war! The only difference this time, Joe, on May 14th, it will be both. Joe wants to target his people? Moxley expected nothing less. You think Moxley doesn’t wanna get into a real firefight? Newsflash, brother: Just look at your brothers; it’s been a firefight this whole time. Moxley then drops the mic and storms out the way he came in. Will Moxley step into Chicago and step out of Chicago still the AEW World Champion?
Backstage interview with The Outrunners.
Lexy Nair is with Turbo Floyd & Truth Magnum with their 1980s standard definition, and brings up how Roppongi Vice got in their faces and then beat them up. She understands they have a response to that. Truth says yeah, he’s got something to say! Trent, Rocky, Truth gets you’re upset! He gets you feel disrespected. But maybe the Outrunners get a little loud sometimes. So what? Maybe they flex a little too much. So what? Maybe they spin a little too fast. So what?! Turbo says if Rocky & Trent wanna get physical, let’s get physical! They’ll settle this where it counts! When you’re face to face with The Outrunners, some are scared to death! But some are scared to live!
Truth & Turbo shake it out, will the Youngest Men Alive show Azucar & #JustTrent what respect is really about?

The Walking Weapon and the newest member of the Don Callis Family scored big alongside Konosuke Takeshita a couple weeks ago, and they beat down The King of Death to do it.

Brody endures as Alexander hits the GRAPEVINE!!! Brody fights up, stands and CHOPS Alexander on the back! Then GERMAN SUPLEX! But Alexander rises?! Only for Brody to LARIAT!! Brody hurries to reel Alexander up, GONZO BOMB!! The countdown begins, but Brody can’t make the cover!! TIME’S UP!
Time Limit Draw
Atlantic City is disappointed, and Lance Archer is here to help his Callis Family brother up. Brody wants to keep going, the fans want to keep going, but can Alexander even keep going? Brody powers through the pain to DIVE onto Archer & Alexander! The fans fire up and bark as Brody rises again. Brody wants more, and he fights through security to fight with Archer! Archer takes a seat, Brody puts the guards on top of him! Brody runs to TRIPLE CROSSBODY!! The Murderhawk Monster sputters, refs hurry out here to tell Brody to stop, but Alexander CHOP BLOCKS Brody! Archer KICKS Brody down!
The fans boo as now the Callis Family mug Brody! Archer CHOKES Brody, shouts at the refs, but then helps Alexander up and out of here. Will Don Callis have to pay some fines for his family?
CRU speaks.
Lio Rush says, “It was inevitable that the story ended with the way that it did.” Action Andretti adds, “With Top Flight landing flat on their faces.” They’re not in AEW to waste time. And any more time spent on Darius & Dante is a waste of time. They tried to walk away, drift off into the sunset, but “you two children couldn’t handle being without us.” Top Flight couldn’t stand being in the rearview mirror. CRU hopes Top Flight will learn a lesson. And that lesson is you should #FearCRU. Either you’re CRU, or you’re enemy.
Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Platinum Max is in the ring again, and he tells Atlantic City, “You are lookin’ live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that clearly false statement, but Caster says, “You people just witnessed a 15 minute time limit draw. And that got me thinking. No one in AEW could survive FIVE minutes in the ring with Platinum Max!” The fans boo but Caster says let’s put five minutes on the clock! The tech guys oblige, and Caster says before his next “victim” comes out here, he wants the people here in AC to prove that they’re not just a bunch of drunk, degenerate tourists! He wants them to do the chant correctly!
“Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive!” Caster is already laughing at how “bad” the fans are doing. That was not full participation, please do better. But let’s get to business! Who can survive FIVE with the Best Wrestler Alive? It’s DANIEL GARCIA! Caster is furious, but will Platinum Max be lucky to survive Red Death?
The bell rings, the time limit starts, and Garcia gets around Caster to fire off haymakers! Garcia stomps away on Caster in the corner, the fans fire up, but the ref counts. Garcia steps off, then stalks Caster along the ropes. Caster throat chops! The fans boo, Caster whips, but Garcia reverses. Garcia dodges Caster to reel him in, TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Caster flounders away and Garcia snarls. Garcia puts up his dukes, does his dance, then SHOTGUNS Caster down! Garcia reels Caster in, PILEDRIVER!! Cover, Garcia wins!
Winner: Daniel Garcia, by pinfall
Literally one minute passed, and Garcia won! Garcia grabs the mic to then call out FTR! “I agree. I just handled my business. You guys handle yours tonight, and I’ma talk to you after.” Garcia has put Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler on notice, what will these three talk about later tonight?
Backstage interview with with Anthony Bowens & Billy Gunn.
Lexy is with the Pride of Professional Wrestling & Daddy Ass, and Bowens wants her to remember he is also the 5 Tool Player, the perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, “The Look” and “The It Factor.” Bowens is here in his home state of New Jersey to tell us all that he intends to use all five tools to climb to a championship opportunity. Doesn’t that sound great? But then in steps Blake Christian & Lee Johnson. Vanilla Babyface tells Bowens all he is hearing right now is blah blah blah. Let’s be real: Bowens may have won against Blake three weeks ago, but those people weren’t talking about Bowens beating Blake.
The talk was about Bowens being outshined by Blake! Big Shotty says Bowens needs to listen because he means this with all the disrespect in the world. Johnson believes he is 150% better! After watching Blake soften Bowens up, Johnson knows how to put Bowens down. Bowens says wow, outshined him? That’s not possible. And 150% better? Well, then step up to the plate and get MOLLY WHOPPED by the 5 Tool Player! Any time, anywhere. Blake & Lee leave, when and where will Big Shotty take his shot?
The Gates of Agony VS Ray Chas & Goldie!
The Hurt Syndicate claimed we’d see Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona way down the line after they lost in the AEW World Tag Team Championship match. But the Cameroonian Prince says there are things much worse than death. They took a bite of the baddest apple on the tree, and the Samoan Lion says it made them SICK! Compared to that, only agony awaits! This is a message sent to Big Bill & Bryan Keith, will it be received loud and clear?
The teams sort out, Kaun starts against Ray, and the two step up. Kaun then BOOTS Ray, GERMAN SUPLEXES him, then reels him in. RUNNING SUPLEX! Kaun mockingly applauds, then he puts Ray in the corner to CHOP! Tag to Liona, and Kaun bumps Ray off buckles for Liona to then BACK ELBOW! Goldie SLAPS Kaun, but Kaun grins. Kaun TOSSES Goldie in, Liona runs up and POUNCES him out of the ring! The fans fire up and Liona tags Kaun. Then the Gates run up, HIP ATTACK followed by a METEORA! Then they CLOSE THE GATES on Ray!! Cover, Gates win!
Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall
The CRU is watching ringside, acting unimpressed. But will Kaun & Liona make sure Lio & Action are next after Bill & Keith? But speaking of, Bill calls them out from the tron! Last week, Bill & Keith called them out. They’re in the parking lot. They don’t come to you, you come to them! Kaun & Liona say bet! The Gates leave the ring, go to the back, and find their way to the parking lot! Will we get quite the battle of titans in Atlantic City?
AEW returns and…
The Gates have found the Redwood & Bad Apple! The brawl is on right in front of the Mack trucks! Bill SMACKS Liona off one, but Kaun THROWS Keith into fencing! Bill BOOTS Kaun, kicks more fencing out of the way, then he picks up a swivel chair! Bill SLAMS the chair, but Kaun avoids disaster! Liona SMACKS Bill with a trash can lid! Bill grabs some poor passerby by the face, and THROWS him at Liona! Liona catches the guy, throws him aside, and then he stares Bill down. Only for Keith to jump on Liona with a SLEEPER! Kaun is up and he ROCKS Bill! Liona spins around to swing Keith off him and into a truck!
Bill and Kaun brawl, Liona runs up, but Keith avoids the trash can attack! This brawl is gonna keep going, but the show must go on, too! Will security be able to stop this carnage before it goes too far?
Best 2 Out of 3 Falls: FTR VS Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly!
Dax & Cash have gone back and forth with Roddy & Kyle for months now, and this match is about finally settling the score. Who wins when it takes more than just the first lucky opportunity?
The teams sort out and Kyle starts with Cash. The first fall begins, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two rush in, Cash rolls Kyle up, TWO and Kyle has an omoplata! Cash rolls free, shakes out the bad arm, and Dax checks him. Cash’s arm is fine, and the two reset. Chas and Kyle tie up, Cash headlocks, but Kyle endures the grind. The fans rally as Kyle powers up and out, but Cash runs him over! Things keep moving, Cash sunset flips, but Kyle stays up to then drop down into an ARMBAR! Cash rolls Kyle, TWO! Cash narrowly avoids a roundhouse, then he scrambles away. The fans rally behind Kyle, but Cash and Kyle tag to Dax and Roddy.
The fans rally as Roddy and Dax circle. They tie up, Dax puts Roddy in the corner, and the ref counts. Dax lets off to CHOP, but Roddy CHOPS back! Dax falls and scrambles away! Cash protests, the ref has Roddy stay back, and Stokely coaches Dax up. Dax and Roddy tie up, go to a corner, and the ref counts. Dax gets a cheap shot in, then CHOPS! And CHOPS! Roddy CHOPS, CHOPS, and ROCKS Dax! Roddy fires off, but Dax CHOPS again! Roddy ROCKS Dax, fires more shots, then whips. Roddy then DROPKICKS Dax down! The fans fire up but Stoke coaches Dax. Roddy stands Dax up, wrenches, then tags Kyle.
Kyle KICKS, Roddy CHOPS, repeat! Kyle wrenches but Dax knees low! The ref says that was a little too low, but Dax tags Cash. Dax feeds Kyle to Cash’s knees, then Cash UPPERCUTS! Cash CHOPS Kyle, UPPERCUTS, and then tags Dax back in. FTR double whips Kyle to a corner, but Kyle goes up and to the side! Kyle dodges Dax to then kitchen sink knee! And kitchen sink knee for Cash! Kyle KICKS Dax, KICKS Cash, repeat! The fans fire up as the KICKS keep going! FTR is down, Cash bails out, and Kyle wrenches Cash. Dax ROCKS Kyle, Kyle wrenches again, repeat!

Cash creeps to the apron but Kyle chases him off. Dax ROCKS Kyle with a sucker punch! Cash slips in, FTR whips, but Roddy CLOBBERS Cash! Kyle KNEES Dax, Roddy JUMP KNEES! Then URENAGE BACKBREAKER and PENALTY KICK! Cash is back, but Roddy KNEES him! Kyle suplexes, CHOP and BRAINBUSTER! Cash bails out but Roddy WRECKS him with a dropkick! The fans fire up, Kyle spins Dax, but Dax blocks a kick! Kyle rolls to have the ANKLE LOCK! Cash grabs Dax’s hands to drag him forward, but Roddy STOMPS Cash’s hands! Dax is caught, Stoke coaches Dax to tap, so Dax taps! Paragon has the first fall!
FTR: 0; Paragon: 1
Big Stoke says that’s the smart move, because there’s still two falls to win anyway. Stoke has FTR regroup, but can the Top Guys pull off the comeback? Collision goes picture in picture.
Stokely argues with fans, and then Dax grabs a chair! Dax throws the chair into the ring, the ref catches it and puts it aside, and he tells them to get in here, the second fall has already begun. The ref starts a ring count but Stokely has FTR settle down first. Dax takes his time before stepping inside. Stokely & FTR huddle up to talk strategy, and Dax starts with Kyle. They tie up, go around, and Dax wrenches Kyle to a wristlock. Kyle breaks free to ROCK Dax, then ROCK Cash! Collision returns to single picture as Kyle keeps fighting off FTR! Dax powers Kyle back, Cash sneaks the tag, and Kyle jumps the dropdown, only for Cash to grab Dax’s hand! DOUBLE LARIAT from the ropes!
Stoke applauds, the fans are torn, but Cash then slingshots to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Cash stomps away on Kyle, Stoke talks trash, and the ref counts. Cash stops with the stomps and Stokely grins.

Winners: FTR, by pinfall, 2-1 score
Stokely cheers as he makes all the difference! Will the Top Guys continue to win by any means necessary until they’re back on top of AEW? WAIT! Daniel Garcia storms his way out here! He has a mic and a crowbar, but which one is he gonna use?! Stoke has Garcia hold on, the ref tells Garcia to stand down, but Garcia says what he really wanted to do is come down and beat all three of them over the head with the crowbar. “But I can’t. Because I have too much love for the both of you. And I thought you two had a lot of love for me, too. Because any time that one of my so-called mentors left me high and dry, left me stranded, you guys were there to pick up the pieces and put me back on my feet.”
The fans rally for Garcia, and Garcia says after what FTR did to Adam Copeland and 2Point0, and then after they tried to break Garcia’s neck, Garcia was left looking for answers. But Garcia realized that he won’t get those answers just standing around having a therapy session with them. The fans say use the crowbar then! Garcia says he has an idea. Next week, it doesn’t matter if it is Dax, Cash, Stokely, all of them, fifteen of them, a hundred of them, FTR, CPR, the ER, it doesn’t matter! Just meet him in the ring so he can beat the answers out of them!! The fans fire up for that! Who will accept this challenge from an enraged Red Death?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision, but wow, six years and they haven’t learned how to not be redundant. While Moxley and Samoa Joe had good promos, Moxley having two promos is stupid. Skip the video one Moxley did backstage and just give us Moxley responding in anger to what Joe had to say. Same effect, but much more efficient. To be fair, I feel like a good number of this night was thrown together last minute. Because hey look, another match with “prize money” on the line when we know that’s kayfabe. It was still an awesome match from all four guys, with Hologram watching a la Sting and Darby, but what’s the point of a fake money prize? Sammy calls out Adam Cole here, why not make it some kind of TNT Championship #1 contender’s match?
Very good match from Storm VS Frost and a very good promo from Storm, and while we know Mercedes Mone VS Jamie Hayter is set, this feels like someone is going to challenge Storm for Double or Nothing in an attempt to change the All In: Texas plans. The wildest thing they could do is make it Athena as her way of getting to the All In card. They could even make it title for title because it’s Double or Nothing, and the winner brings both those titles to facing Mercedes Mone, and they have ALL the titles on the line because it’s All In! But because it’s that wild, they won’t do it. And to be fair, they really shouldn’t because then who would ever get a belt off the “Ultima Dragon” they create?
Megan of course beats Harley, but I appreciate that it led to Anna Jay making the save. Anna and Harley can certainly make a great team to battle Megan & Ford, but I feel like Megan & Ford win mostly because of Megan. Awesome match from Alexander VS Brody, and I really like that on the same day Konosuke and El Phantasmo have a 15 minute time limit draw in NJPW, Alexander and Brody have one here in AEW. Archer getting involved was also good stuff, but there’s no word on when Buddy Matthews is getting back so I’m not sure the chances of Hounds of Hell VS Don Callis Family.
But after that good promo from the Outrunners, I bet we get them and Brody working together as rather strange bedfellows. Very good stuff with Gates of Agony. They of course squashed their opponents tonight, but I like that we got a brawl of them and the former Learning Tree. Though, the brawl could’ve been a bit better, but I understand how no one wanted to fall on that hard concrete of the parking lot. I’m pretty sure we’ll get a tag match now, helping reestablish both teams in the tag division. But while CRU had a good promo to say they’re done with Top Flight, they’re like chihuahuas barking a big game thinking they can go against Kaun & Liona in a fair fight.
Caster adding a time limit to his Open Challenge was hilarious, since it added to how humiliating it was for Caster to lose fast. And Garcia answering the challenge also helped tie into tonight’s main event with FTR. Which also seemed rather out of nowhere, but it did make sense in story for FTR to go 2 outta 3 with Kyle & Roddy. Great main event with that, and I actually like Stokely’s strategy of forgoing the first fall to avoid any further damage. As such, FTR of course pulled off the comeback to win out, allowing Garcia to confront them. Thankfully, Garcia didn’t side with FTR, I had feared they’d do a lame bit of logic leaping. Garcia against either Dax or Cash will be a great singles match, and I feel like Cope will make some sort of heroic return so Garcia can have a tag partner to face FTR at Double or Nothing. Then Garcia turns.
My Score: 8.7/10
