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!

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!

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!

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.

Bate fights the lift, Melo runs in but Bate back drops him! Bate then wheelbarrows, but Coffey makes it a swing of his own! Then SLAM! Cover, Eddy breaks it! Eddy storms after Bate but Melo O’Conner Rolls!
Eddy shoves Melo away, things speed up, Eddy hurdles but Melo FLYING LARIATS! Melo bumps Eddy off buckles, puts him up then climbs. But Eddy shoves Melo away, so Bate joins in! Melo and Bate throw hands, climb up and bring Eddy up, but Eddy pushes them both away. But Bate GAMANGIRIS, then Melo GAMANGIRIS! They both go up again, and they get Eddy up, only for Coffey to run in! Bate & Melo get away but Eddy CROSSBODIES them both! Coffey POP-UP UPPERCUTS Eddy! Bate clinches Coffey for an EXPLODER! Bate kips up, but into a BOOT from Melo! Eddy SPINEBUSTERS Melo!
All four men are down and the fans fire up for “NXT! NXT!” as NXT goes picture in picture.
Bate goes to ropes, Eddy goes to the other side. Melo finds a side of his own, and Coffey goes to a corner. Coffey storms up, eggs everyone on, but they all pinball him around with haymakers! Bate DECKS Coffey, and then they all stomp Coffey! Coffey bails out, but then Bate sunset flips Melo! Eddy ghost pins Bate! TWO, Melo reels Eddy in for a cradle! TWO, Bate returns to kick and UPPERCUT Melo! Melo falls, Bate kicks and UPPERCUTS Eddy! Bate whips, Eddy reverses but Bate catches the dropkick! Bate turns Eddy over, BOSTON CRAB! Eddy endures, Melo adds on a CROSSFACE!
Eddy endures double submissions, so Bate gets Melo with an ANKLE LOCK! Melo flails, Eddy has Bate in a SLEEPER! Coffey CLOBBERS them all! Coffey whips Melo to a corner, then scoops him on the rebound for a BACKBREAKER! Coffey stomps away on Eddy’s ribs, then he drags Bate up. Coffey whips Bate to a corner, then scoops to SLAM! VADER ELBOW DROP! Bate flops out of the ring so Coffey pursues. Coffey RAMS Bate into steel steps, then flips the steps around! But Melo jumps off the steps to CLOBBER Coffey! NXT returns to single picture, Coffey clings to a post as Melo goes after a leg.
Melo lets Coffey go, puts Bate in the ring, but Eddy drops an elbow on Melo! Cover on Bate, Coffey breaks it up! Coffey UPPERCUTS Eddy, drags Bate up, but then Melo runs up! Melo ducks the double elbows, to then springboard, DOUBLE FADE AWAY! Melo hurries up but Eddy SHOTGUNS him down! All four men are down again and the fans are thunderous for “NXT!

Fans fire up as Eddy BOOTS Melo, runs at Coffey, but Coffey SPINEBUSTERS Eddy on the steps!! The fans lose their minds, the ref checks and then calls the medics over. Eddy’s bad ribs might be broken after that slam! Back to the ring, Melo and Bate go face to face.
Melo says he needs this, but Bate throws hands! Melo hits back, but Coffey is up top! DOUBLE MISSILE DROPKICK! Those three are down, but Coffey hurries after Melo.

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

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?

Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?

AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags! Ospreay wristlocks and he bends the fingers! Ospreay isolates the arm to then STOMP it!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
The trios sort out and Jamie steps up against Thekla as both a rematch from their 1v1 title match, and a preview of what’s to come in the next. They circle, but then Skye CLOBBERS Jamie! Julia steps in, but so do Shida and Windsor! The Triangle throws hands on Shida & The Birds, then triple whip. But all three reverse, a BOOT for Thekla, a DDT for Skye, and a BACKBREAKER for Julia! The fans cheer as The Triangle bails out! Shida goes out to keep after Skye while Windsor goes after Julia. Jamie gets Thekla back in the ring while Shida and Windsor have the Sisters of Sin in the corners of the barriers. The fans cheer as they all rain down fists!
Windsor, Jamie & Shida all go to nine, then wind up for TEN! The fans cheer again while Thekla sputters. Jamie snap suplexes, but Skye ROCKS Shida! Jamie stomps Thekla, Windsor SLAMS Julia off barriers, and Jamie stomps a mudhole in the corner. The ref counts, Jamie lets off, but Skye and Windsor meet while tightrope walking the barriers! Skye and Windsor trade shots, they wobble a bit, then Skye DECKS Windsor! Skye keeps from falling into the crowd, but Jamie gets her! Windsor joins in and the Birds double gorilla press, SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans fire up, but Thekla is up top! SUPER CROSSBODY onto The Birds!
The fans fire up again and Thekla is feeling it while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Thekla stomps Windsor, CLUBS Jamie, then helps Skye. But Shida runs up, only for Thekla to ELBOW her down! The Triangle has control again, they ROCK Jamie and Shida and Windsor, then send them all to the desk. The Triangle CHOP again and again and again! Then they wind up, but feint chops to SMACK all three off the apron! The Triangle soaks up the cheers and jeers before putting Jamie back in the ring. Thekla brings Jamie up, snapmares her down, then basement SUPERKICKS! Cocky cover, TWO! Thekla drags Jamie to the corner, tags Julia, and Julia runs up to LARIAT! Then she goes side to side to ELBOW Jamie down!

Thekla lands out, but Jamie BOOTS her down! Jamie looks at Shida, Shida is hesitant, but Shida tags in! The fans cheer as Shida sends Theknla to the corner, then JUMP KNEES! Shida keeps moving, she BLASTS Skye! Julia ROCKS Shida back!
Julia storms in but Shida kicks her and whips her into Thekla! Shida KNEES them both in the corner! Then Shida puts Thekla sideways in the corner, reels Julia in, and she snap suplexes Julia into Thekla! The fans fire up as Shida then suplexes Thekla high and hard! Cover, TWO! Shida stands Thekla up, Thekla swings but Shida ROCKS her first! And ROCKS her again! Thekla wobbles, swings, but Shida catches Thekla for another forearm! Shida runs the ropes but Thekla mule kicks! Thekla SMACKS Shida, then she dodges a boot to DECK Shida! Thekla talks trash on Shida, then drags her up to tag in Julia.
Julia tags Skye, then tag back to Thekla. The Sisters of Sin hit the DOUBLE GOURD BUSTER and DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Thekla hits the bridge, and she aims for the SPIDER SPEAR! Cover, but The Birds CLOBBER The Sisters of Sin onto it! The fans fire up a Windsor DECKS Skye and Jamie HEADBUTTS Julia! The Birds drag Shida to safety, Windsor tags in, and she CLOBBERS Thekla! Windsor CLUBS away, then fires the fans up. Jamie steps in, BOOT RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP COMBO! Basement LARIAT! And then Windsor lifts! Jamie runs up, but Skye trips Jamie! The fans boo but Skye sends Jamie into steel steps!
Thekla sends Windsor into buckles! Tag to Julia before Shida runs up, TAMASHII KNEE on Thekla! Skye SUPERKICKS Shida! Jamie is back to clinch and HAYTBREAKER! Julia runs up, slips around, SOLE FOOD! Julia kips up, but Windsor is there to whip Julia to ropes! Skye tags in before the SPINEBUSTER! Skye SUPERKICKS Windsor, then brings her up! Skye hops on, CODE- NO, Windsor pops free! Skye SUPERKICKS again, but Windsor HEADBUTTS! The fans fire up as Jamie joins in again, and they DOUBLE LARIAT SANDWICH! Then they set Skye up, and Jamie says let’s try this again!
Jamie runs the ropes, but Thekla slides in, BELT SHOT on Jamie!! No question that the ref saw that! The Triangle is disqualified!
Winners: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds, by disqualification
The Toxic Spider doesn’t care about this win, she just wants to do damage! Skye gets Windsor in a DRAGON SLEEPER! The ref stops Thekla from sing the title belt again, so Thekla just takes off her own belt! And she LASHES Windsor while Skye holds her down! More refs rush out here, but Julia MISTS the newbie in the face! Julia stomps away on Jamie, not caring about fines or consequences, either! The fans boo, and Shida is bailing on the Birds? Shida cares more about her chances in that Fatal 4 Way than anything else. But then Willow, Mina, and even Thunder Rosa rush out here! They chase The Triangle off with belts of their own!
The fans cheer as The Babe, the Fighting Gravure Idol & La Mera Mera save the day. But will Jamie make sure Thekla and Shida pay for this at Double or Nothing?
AEW World Championship: Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita!
They say “card subject to change,” and that is true even for the best in the world. Kazuchika Okada’s real family takes priority, but his Don Callis Family brother was more than happy to step up for this opportunity. Will The Alpha already have two belts by the time he and The Rainmaker battle over the International Championship? Or will Darby truly be relentless in his pursuit of being the best fighting champion in AEW history?
The introductions are made, THE belt is raised, and we see who goes to Double or Nothing on top!
Callis joins commentary to say that while Darby’s been breaking his own body, Konosuke has perfected “rejuvenation training,” aka relaxing on a beach and sipping sake! The bell rings, and Darby SHOTGUNS Konosuke out! Then Darby DIVES, but Konosuke catches him! Konosuke POSTS Darby, then THROWS him into railing! Konosuke THROWS Darby into the ring, the fans fire up for both guys, and Konosuke hurries to BOOT Darby off the apron! Darby falls in front of commentary but Konosuke gets him right back in the ring. Cover, ONE!! The fans rally as Darby shows his grit, but Konosuke snarls.
Konosuke drags Darby up, Darby fires forearms, but the ALPHA ELBOW knocks Darby down! The fans fire up while Konosuke looms over Darby. Konosuke stands Darby up, and THROWS him into a corner! Darby bounces off the buckles and is bleeding from the mouth already! Konosuke stands Darby up, hoists him up top, then he climbs up after him. But Darby BITES Konosuke, CLUBS him down, and leaps for a CROSSBODY, but he bounces off Konosuke! The fans fire up again as Konosuke whips Darby for a BACKDROP! Darby got serious hangtime there, and he flounders out of the ring. Darby coughs and sputters but the fans rally up.
Konosuke goes out after Darby but Darby SMACKS him! Konosuke KNEES low, KNEES him again and again and again! Konosuke KNEES Darby against the barriers, then refreshes the count. Konosuke whips Darby hard into railing! Darby sputters as he leans against the railing, but Konosuke positions the steel steps. Konosuke then fetches Darby, lines up a shot, but Darby fights the suplex! Darby CLAWS Konosuke’s back, then fires a shot. Konosuke DECKS Darby in return! Darby slumps against the steps, Konosuke runs up, but Darby dodges! Konosuke’s knees hit the steps and he tumbles over! Darby then runs up the steps to SHOTGUN Konosuke down!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the floor! Konosuke checks his knee before he crawls around, and Darby gets in the ring so he can build speed! Darby DIVES! Direct hit on Konosuke but Darby’s the one who hits the desk! The fans fire up while both men are down again, but Darby rises up to get Konosuke on the apron! Darby fires forearms, then goes up a corner! COFFIN- NO, Konosuke catches him for a SUPER BLUE THUNDER BOMB to the floor!! The fans go nuts again and Callis says that’s the end of Darby Allin, but Dynamite goes picture in picture.
The ref hurries to check Darby but Callis tells Doc Sampson to call it. Darby is somehow still in this, so Konosuke storms his way over. Konosuke drags Darby up, puts him in the ring, then paces around him. Konosuke runs the ropes to LARIAT! Darby flips inside-out, Konosuke covers him, TWO!! Darby still has fight inside but he’s also dazed. Konosuke clamps onto Darby with a chinlock and squeezes tight. Darby endures, even as Konosuke leans on him with his much-taller frame. Darby reaches out, fights around, and rises up, only for Konosuke to CANADIAN RACK BOMB! Darby sputters all over again while Dynamite returns to single picture.
Konosuke sits back as he watches Darby crawl to the apron. Konosuke storms his way over, but Darby RAMS low! Slingshot sunset flip, but Konosuke rolls through! Only for Darby to kick the legs out! Darby catches Konosuke to a GUILLOTINE! Konosuke endures the squeeze, fights up to his feet, and he powers out to THROW Darby! Darby lands out, fires shots, and RAMS low! Darby then hops on, but Konosuke stops Code Red! Konosuke swings Darby around, tucks him in, BASTARD DRIVER! And WHEELBARROW GERMAN! The fans fire up and Callis says that’s true power! Darby sputters again and Konosuke vows to end this.
Konosuke runs corner to corner, HELLUVA KICK!! Then he hoists Darby up top, climbs up after him, and goes to the very top! The fans freak out already for the SUPER DUPER GERMAN SUPLEX!! Bridging cover, TWO!!! Callis is freaking out as much as the fans, and he protests the count! Konosuke is furious, but he aims for the WAGAMAMA KNEE!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Darby survives by nanoseconds, and Konosuke is beside himself! “This is Awesome!” but now CLØN rushes out here! He distracts the ref, and Callis hurries to take the Dynamite Diamond Ring off his finger to put it in Konosuke’s hands! Konosuke thinks about it, but The Alpha has honor!
The fans cheer as Konosuke wants to do this his way! But then Darby runs up, cradles, TWO!! Konosuke escapes, ALPHA ELBOW!! Darby is down, dazed, but still moving! Konosuke drags Darby up again, goes back to the corner and back to the top rope. The fans hope these two “FIGHT FOREVER!” but it has to end somehow! Darby fights against the lift with headlock punches! Then he hops on, SUPER CODE RED!! Konosuke staggers up, Darby leg scissors, steps through, LAST SUPPER!! TWO?!?! Konosuke escapes again, then bails out! So Darby just goes up top! SUPER COFFIN DROP!! Direct hit and both men are down again!
The fans are thunderous as Konosuke and Darby stir. A ring count climbs, Callis complains that some people just gotta follow directions and run the play! Coach Callis pulled Konosuke outta obscurity, Konosuke would do anything! Now he’s got some gold, some fame, and gets a mind of his own! Callis complaining aside, the ring count is climbing! Darby drags himself in at 9, but Konosuke YANKS him back out! That refreshes the count, and Konosuke vows to end this for real now. Konosuke points to the steel steps, and he drags Darby up onto them with a deadlift RAGING- NO, Darby knees Konosuke, turns things around, and FULL METAL SCORPION DEATH DROP!!!
The fans go nuts again while Konosuke writhes! Konosuke flops off the steps, Darby crawls into the ring, and Darby just climbs the corner again! SUPER DUPER COFFIN DROP!!! Konosuke might be unconscious! Darby still hauls Konosuke into the ring, pushes him to a cover, TWO?!?!? Konosuke survives and Darby is furious! But Darby just reloads, COFFIN DROP but onto knees!!! Ghost pin, TWO!!! Darby escapes but the WAGAMAMA KNEE finds him!! Konosuke hauls Darby up, but Darby pops free! Trip, step through, and SCORPION DEATH LOCK!!! Konosuke endures, reaches out, but Darby sits deep!!
Callis says don’t even think about it! Konosuke almost does, but he bites his own thumb to ignore the pain in his back! Konosuke reaches out, crawls his way forward, and he fights to the ROPEBREAK!!! But Darby is right up top! COFFION DROP on the back!! Then Darby goes right back up, COFFIN DROP again!!! Cover, DARBY WINS!!
Winner: Darby Allin, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
Callis is steaming, but Darby overcomes Konosuke to avenge that loss in the Continental Classic! But it also took so much out of him just to do it! Darby still asks for a mic and one is brought to him. Darby sits up against the ropes, has them cut his music, and he tells MJF to get his ass out here! There’s a contract MJF needs to sign! The ring crew hurries to bring in a table and some chairs for that very contract signing, and MJF makes his entrance. MJF reluctantly makes his way down the ramp, and both men meet at the table. Darby grins with blood still in hiss teeth, and he signs his part of the contract without hesitation, unlike MJF.
The fans already chant “BALD! BALD! BALD!” at MJF, and Darby pushes the contract to his side of the table. MJF grabs the pen, reaches out, but then steps away. MJF scratches his chin as he thinks on this, and the fans just chant, “BALD! BALD! BALD!” again. MJF takes a mic to say he’ll explain something to Darby, looking like he has rabies. But see, MJF is happy for Darby, he hopes Darby’s had fun holding MJF’s AEW World Championship. The fans boo that, but MJF says deep down, there is a small part of him, like the size of a North Carolinian p*nis small. That small part of MJF feels bad for Darby, because he’ll never hold this again!
Darby’s got about a good a chance of holding this title as Hangman Adam Page does again. MJF says guys like Darby are a dime a dozen, here today and gone tomorrow, stuntmen who burn the candle at both ends. In this life, people like all these fans here like to pretend that life is about making friends and family and children. The only thing that matters in life is your legacy. And Darby’s legacy will be that of the kid who had his 15 minutes of fame. They’ll pretend like Darby made a lasting impact, but the fact of the matter is, he hasn’t. He hasn’t! They’ll know deep down that Darby Allin was just a little pr*ck who got lucky.
They’ll know that Darby was too reckless and stupid to stay on top. And after May 24th, Double or Nothing, in that sh*thole of Queens, New York, y’know what MJF’s legacy will be? He’ll go down as the guy who became a THREE-TIME World Champion at just 30 years of age, unprecedented in this sport. And MJF will go down, when it’s all said and done, as the Greatest of All Time! THAT is the difference between them! Darby Allin brags about climbing a mountaintop. But when it comes to professional wrestling, Maxwell Jacob Friedman IS the mountaintop! The fans boo but MJF soaks it up. Darby tells MJF to SHUT UP!
Only someone like MJF who is so vain would think that the number one most important thing in this world is his legacy. Darby doesn’t care about legacy, he cares about living in the moment! And in this moment, Darby just wants MJF to sign the contract. Then at Double or Nothing, Darby makes Maxwell Jacob Friedman a BALLD HEADED B*TCH!! MJF frowns but the fans cheer that! MJF grabs the pen again, and with no choice, he signs on the dotted line! Then he TACKLES Darby! The fans boo as MJF beats up Darby after the war he went through with Konosuke! MJF CHUCKS an armchair outta the ring, FLIPS the table, then picks up his Dynamite Diamond Ring.
MJF puts the ring on his finger like always, then winds up to DECK Darby!! The fans boo but MJF just soaks it all up. MJF throws off his jacket, picks up the belt, and he stands over Darby with it. But then MJF isn’t done with Darby, he puts Darby on the top rope! MJF climbs up to join him, and drags Darby into position! But wait! Kevin Knight runs out here to chase MJF off! The Jet still owes The Scumbag a receipt, but it seems we’ll all have to wait on that. Will MJF still take back the title at Double or Nothing? Or will Darby keep the belt and take MJF’s dignity?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode for Dynamite as things heat up towards Double or Nothing. Awesome 10 Man Tag to open, great win for the Faces, not that it added much to FTR VS C&C. Good promo from Jericho to look back on Stadium Stampede and hype up this year’s match. Good promo from The Demand with Davis and The Dogs, and I suppose this maximizes the feuds as well as the alliances throughout the locker room. Who knows who wins but the match will still be awesome, just as the original was. Good promo from Conglomeration, too, Cassidy & Roddy going after FTR while Kyle VS Moxley happens on the side, that’s great stuff.
Speaking of Moxley, great promo from him and Ospreay. Moxley’s semi-turn has really brought out his sage philosophical side. Great match from Ospreay VS Ace, and while Ospreay could always bring out his aggression, seeing him use more technical wrestling and even winning with a submission is good stuff. Good promo from Joe, and I liked Death Riders backing Ospreay up. Very good Owen Hart Cup brackets this year, Joe VS Ospreay is a great choice given this story, but I would think Ospreay wins that one. Good promo from Jack Perry to call out Davis, and I suppose Jack can win in the Owen Cup to then move on from the National title.
Great seeing Brian Cage back, he gave Knight an awesome match, but with JetSpeed wanting to go on a Two Man Power Trip, it makes sense Kevin won out. Same for Bailey beating Westbrook, even though Westbrook maybe went too hard on his own acrobatic escape. Great stuff in the Six Woman Tag, and I appreciate Shida didn’t ditch until after the match. Willow, Mina & Rosa might get their own Six Woman Tag with Triangle of Madness after that interaction, but also can’t wait to see if Willow can go back-to-back as Queen of Harts. For that matter, I personally would love to see Athena use the Owen Cup to move on from being ROH Women’s World Champion, but that depends on how Supercard of Honor goes this Friday.
And of course, another wild instant classic from Darby as he overcomes Takeshita. I knew the diamond ring would come into play with that reverse effect, good way of protecting Takeshita in the loss. Good stuff with MJF tonight, too, such as the opening segment’s parade of bald men to send the message to MJF. That was also a unique contract signing segment in that it came together so quickly after the main event match. Good stuff from MJF as always, and of course he attacks Darby. I feel like either Knight should not have made the save, or both parts of JetSpeed should’ve made the save. It just seems odd that only Knight cared about saving Darby. The closing moment was much better when it was MJF standing over Darby with the belt.
My Score: 9/10
