The fans give this one a standing ovation, what a way to open a show! But the other semifinal isn’t until next week, who will join these alpha males in the Dusty Cup Finals?
Ilja Dragunov is backstage.
He’s talking with a stage hand about some things, but then Josh Briggs asks for a moment. Dragunov says good evening, Josh. Surely, he didn’t mean to interrupt Dragunov’s conversation, did he? Oh no, Briggs did. Briggs was told by JBL himself that Briggs needs to figure out who Briggs really is. And since Dragunov is the NXT Champion, that makes him the measuring stick of NXT. Briggs needs to know where he stands, he needs to know how he measures up to the Mad Dragon. Dragunov stops Briggs there and says, with respect, he likes the bravery. But Briggs needs to question himself. Is this really what he wants?
Briggs wants Dragunov to look him in the eyes. There ain’t no fear. But Briggs isn’t so sure about Dragunov now. Making Trick Williams pull double duty at Vengeance Day, that’s real smart. That’s how Dragunov ensures he keeps the title around his waist a little bit longer. Oh, is that how Briggs sees it? Tell him what you really wanna say! Trick steps in and says that he knows Briggs wants to prove himself, but Trick’s got to make sure Dragunov is good to go for Vengeance Day. Briggs will just have to prove himself another time. Briggs says honestly, Trick can’t tell him what to do.
Let’s be real: After Vengeance Day, Trick hops back into Melo’s back pocket anyway. So let Briggs talk with the man who is still gonna be champ after that match. Back pocket? Is Briggs crazy? Hard of hearing maybe? Do you know who is next in line for the title shot? Don’t answer, that was a Trick question. Dragunov tries not to laugh, and then Trick says if Briggs wants his opportunity, Trick IS your opportunity. Briggs says that after tonight, Trick will be the one pushing back this match. Briggs heads out, Trick says, “Yeehaw.” Trick tells Dragunov that he just wants Dragunov to be there for Vengeance Day.
Oh, Dragunov will be there. The question now is, will Trick? Dragunov will be watching. The Mad Dragon heads out, will he and Trick still be the match on the card in two weeks?
Wren Sinclair pep talks herself up.
“Okay, Wren, this is your first match on NXT. You eliminated Lash Legend from the Battle Royale. You have a chance to beat her tonight, you have a huge opporutnity. You… might throw up.” Fallon Henley walks in to check on her and it spooks Wren. Wren introduces herself and Fallon says yeah, she knows, they met. Oh, right. Wren admits to being so nervous for tonight. This is her first singles match on NXT, and just a few weeks ago, it was a pipe dream. Now she’s here, and she’s trying to fit in, trying to make friends and trying not to make enemies. Fallon has Wren slow down and take a breath. It is never easy being the new girl.
But Wren did really well in the battle royale, even eliminated Lash, and that’s big. So just keep being yourself and it’ll fall into place. Wren thanks Fallon but self-high-fives before heading out. Will Wren be able to repeat that huge upset? Or will she be the victim of Lash lashing out?
Ava Raine exits Shawn Michaels’ office.
“What a meeting.” Because surprise, WILLIAM REGAL is back!! Ava thanks Regal for getting her that meeting and he says it was quite a productive one. And congrats to Ava, she is the NEW General Manager of NXT, and youngest GM ever in WWE history! Ava says it feels unreal, but Regal says believe it. But also, he wants her to look after this brand for him. He was here day one, this brand means the world to him. It is a thankless job with long hours, egos to juggle, and lots of split-second, very tough decisions to make. But he knows she can do it. She thanks him, and knows she has big shoes to fill, but she’s sure she can do it.
Regal says if she ever needs advice, his phone is always on. They shake hands, and now Ava holds the power in her hands. Will she be able to keep NXT rolling and in one piece?
Wren Sinclair VS Lash Legend w/ The Meta Four!
NXT returns and Wren makes her entrance. The bell rings and Lash runs right up to push Wren to a corner! Meta Four barks at Wren while Lash keeps her cornered. Wren tries to get away, Lash throws her back to the corner, but then Wren dodges the haymaker! Lash blocks the arm-drag, then the other arm-drag, so Wren gets around to SLEEPER! Lash moves around, rebounds off ropes, but Wren holds tight! Fans rally for Wren but Lash runs to HOTSHOT her! Wren sputters and flounders, Lash CLUBS her down! Lash rains down fists, dribbles Wren off the mat, then lets off to talk trash.
Lash puts Wren in the ropes to CLUB away on her! Fans boo but Lash lets off as the ref counts. Lash puts Wren in another corner, RAMS into her again and again, but lets off as the ref counts. Lash torture racks Wren, thrashes her in the rack, then bends her! Wren flails and sunset flips, but Lash stays up! Lash leans back but then drags Wren up, to TOSS her to a corner! Lash runs up but Wren dodges, Lash POSTS herself! Fans rally as Wren gets up, dodges a boot, but Lash blocks a kick. Wren ENZUGIRIS Lash down! Lash flounders to ropes, Wren runs in to sunset flip, but Jakara helps keep Lash up!
The ref reprimands Jakara and counts, so Jakara lets go. Wren finishes the sunset flip, TWO!! Lash gets up, and she swings, but Wren dodges! Lash almost runs into Jakara! Then Wren shoves Lash into Jakara! Roll-up, TWO!! Lash escapes, choke grips, and she POP-UP SPINEBUSTERS! Cover, Lash wins!
Winner: Lash Legend, by pinfall
It was a slam dunk in the end, and Lash gets her lick back. But she isn’t done with Wren as she storms up on her. Wait! Here comes Fallon! The Cowgirl CLOBBERS Jakara, then dodges Lash to CHOP! Wren CHOPS! Fallon DECKS Lash! Lash gets up, Wren & Fallon DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE Lash up and out! Wren wanted to make a friend, and now she’s got one! Will Fallon & Wren bring Meta Four down a notch?
Something goes down at Tintoretto.
There’s been a brawl, and Jaida Parker stands over Adriana Rizzo! Jaida tells Adriana that it is simple: OTM makes the rules now. Stop playing with them! Scrypts, Bronco Nima & Lucien Price intimidate the manager to tell Tony D that it ain’t over until OTM says. And clean this place up. OTM heads out, will they regret messing with the Family? Will Riz have to handle biz?
Elektra Lopez storms in backstage.
She asks around for “that pendeja,” Lola Vice! If you see her, tell Lopez! La Madrina is mad, but will the MMA Mamacita find her first?
DIJAK VS Joe Gacy!
Hard Justice wasn’t respectful of Trey Bearhill’s culture, and he wasn’t respectful of Mr. Inclusion just wanting to be on commentary for a change. Gacy took the fight to Dijak then, will he take the fight to Dijak now?
Well, wouldn’t you know? Gacy does take the fight to Dijak by going after him during his entrance! They brawl, the fans fire up, and Gacy ROCKS Dijak! Dijak knees low, but Gacy throws m ore hands! Gacy POSTS Dijak and Dijak tumbles over the steel steps! Fans fire up as Gacy stands Dijak up, but then Dijak RAMS Gacy into steps! Gacy flounders, Dijak ROCKS him with haymaker after haymaker! Dijak TOSSES Gacy into the gap! The ref reprimands but this isn’t a match yet, so Dijak goes looking for plunder! Dijak gets a chair! More refs hurry out to tell Dijak to stop, but Gacy gets up to FLYING FOREARM!
Fans fire up as Gacy CLUBS away on Dijak! Dijak hits back, Gacy CLUBS him some more! Gacy grabs a chair for himself, JAMS Dijak low, and then SMACKS him on the back! Gacy swings again, Dijak dodges and Gacy hits a table! Dijak then CYCLONE BOOTS Gacy through a wall! The fans lose their minds, and that’s the what?

Dijak runs up, but Gacy POSTS him again! And UPPERCUTS! And fires off haymakers!
Dijak choke grips, to HIGH JUSTICE through the desk!! Fans lose their minds, but Dijak sits Gacy up to say this isn’t done! Security rushes out to stop this but fans boo and chant “LET THEM FIGHT!” Dijak fights free of the security, but Gacy’s back up!? Gacy clamps on a SLEEPER!! Security and refs pry Gacy off of Dijak, but Gacy says if Dijak wants this fight, he’ll bring it! What will happen should NXT actually let these two fight it out?!
Arianna Grace rehearses an acceptance speech.
“Thank you all for your love and support. I leave you now with what my mother would say to be before bed as a child. ‘Darling, if you have a vision, you will be where you want, see where you’re headed, and that is de-lightful!’ I love you all!” Elektra Lopez then barges into the locker room and says, “Alright, fun’s over. Where is she?” Arianna’s right here! Lopez wasn’t talking about you, princess. Lopez sighs and barges back out. Arianna says some ladies have no social grace.
Lexis King speaks.
“Ladies and gentlemen, don’t freak out, but the main event is coming on a little bit early tonight, courtesy of the Face of Tuesday Nights, Lexis King. And ol’ Trey Bearhill better be grateful for the spotlight that I’m about to put on him, because there’s only one man in this match worthy of center stage, and you’re looking right at him.” The Drama King thinks he’s the leading man of NXT, but will he find out he’s more the antagonist than protagonist?
Von Wagner & Robert Stone visit The University of Central Florida.
Von asks Stone why he brought Von back to UCF. Because, doesn’t this place bring back memories? Well of course, these are his old stomping grounds. He was Number 87 for the UCF Knights, but what does this have to do with the NXT Heritage Cup? Because here, they will work on speed, stamina and agility, with the two best coaches to help them: Stone’s sons! Von’s fired up to see “The Bash Brothers,” and they ask Von if he’s ready. Ready to roll! But are you ready!? HELL YEAH!! Training montage as Von runs drills as fast as he can, does crunches as long as he can, and is quizzed on how the Heritage Cup Division works!
How many rounds? SIX! How many falls? Best two outta three! Get those knees up! Catch the ball! Run up the stairs! Hit Oro! Oh, well, he bopped Stone with the ball, good enough. Now for a tackling dummy with Dar’s face on it! Von sets up, and TACKLES Dummy Dar! Hit harder than that! You wanna take the cup or not!? Von hears Dar mocking him, and goes full Water Boy! YEAH!! The brothers help Von up, and Stone is sure Von is ready. Von shouts, “NOAAAM~!” Will Von be ready to knock Dar out and win the whole damn thing?
Lexis King VS Trey Bearhill!
NXT returns as King makes his entrance. Trey is already waiting, chomping at the bit. King steps in the ring, the bell rings, and then King dodges Trey to CHOP! Trey just shouts back! King shoves Trey, but Trey SHOVES King down! Trey runs up, King BOOTS him! King CHOPS, eggs Trey on, so Trey DECKS King! Fans fire up with Trey as he stalks King and brings him up on the apron. Trey TOSSES King back in and fires up! King flounders to a corner, Trey runs in to SPLASH! Trey storms around, scoops King and SLAMS him! Fans fire up as Trey ELBOW- NO, King avoids the drop! King throws down ax handles and stomps!
King eggs Trey on, then lines up a shot. King KICKS, but Trey snarls. King KICKS Trey again, eggs him on, and Trey shouts! King KICKS and KICKS, but Trey blocks! Trey swings, King ducks and runs, but into a DOUBLE CHOP! And another DOUBLE CHOP! Fans fire up as Trey CHOPS, CHOPS and CLAWS King on the back! King goes to a corner, Trey fires up and GRIZZLY MAGNUMS! Trey wants King to get up, since this is the fight he wanted! King stands, Trey clamps right on, but King fights the choke slam! King SUPERKICKS< then mule kicks, then runs and runs to BLINDSIDE LARIAT!
King drags Trey up to cross the arms, and CORONATION NECKBREAKER! Cover, King wins!
Winner: Lexis King, by pinfall
King brings down Trey fair and square, and his ego is only inflating from here. But how long will King have to wait for his crowning achievement?
Trick Melo Gang meets up backstage.
Trick asks where Melo has been but he said he was locked in, watching some LWO matches. Trick checked any of these yet? No, but he will. Melo says okay, eyes on the prize. But also, what’s Trick doing fighting Dragunov’s battles, man? What? Trick ain’t fighting no battles for Dragunov, what’s he talking about? Melo is just saying, Dragunov’s playing Trick like 2K, bro. No, man, Dragunov wouldn’t do that. Trick just wants Dragunov to be 100 for Vengeance Day. Melo says forget all that! This has been going on since October, when Dragunov attacked Trick. Trick won the Iron Survivor, and suddenly Dragunov gets hurt?
Dragunov knows Trick Melo Gang is a lock for the Dusty Cup! But then he wants to give Trick his match, knowing full well Trick’s gonna have to wrestle twice on the same night now! But yeah, go ahead, handle the issues with Briggs tonight to save Dragunov. Melo wants Trick to understand something: Dragunov sees Trick as a threat, so he will do anything and everything to make sure Trick Melo Gang doesn’t win the Dusty Cup, and that Trick doesn’t win the NXT Championship. The sooner Trick sees that, the better. Trick says he knows Melo knows the game, and appreciates Melo giving Trick the game.
But Trick knows the game, too. He already thought this through. Next week is LWO, but tonight, Trick faces Briggs, and Melo faces Austin Theory on SmackDown. They’re locked in, but like always, Trick wants to do this by himself. Melo knows, and says go ahead. They shake hands, will Trick show Melo he’s ready to be double champion?
It’s an all new Supernova Sessions!
Noam Dar welcomes us to the show, “live from the moon,” and says sadly, Lash & Jakara can’t be here because they have to handle that new girl, Wren, and Fallon “I Love Horses Way Too Much” Henley. Oro mocks the yeehaw, and says did you see Von training with all his friends? Yeah, turns out Stone’s kids and Von all go to the same grade school. They even share crayons! It doesn’t matter how hard Von trains, he can’t beat Dar! That’s why Dar is more than happy to give Von his Heritage Cup match. But Von and those stupid stinking Stone kids will never touch Dar’s cup! Oro says, “Tell ’em, brother, tell ’em!”
Now, tonight’s guest brings a whole new level of heat. She was in a battle royale she didn’t even need to be in, just so she could screw over her best friend. Talk about petty. Introducing the Women’s Breakout Star, Lola Vice! Fans fire up as Lola makes her entrance and joins Dar & Oro in the ring. They take their seats and Lola actually gets a good chair compared to other guests. Dar says it is a pleasure to have her here, and says last week, Lopez’s reaction to Lola’s betrayal was fantastic! Meta Four liked it, and they loved it! But was it planned?
Lola says that the moment she and Lopez teamed up, there was an expiration date to the friendship. Lopez is La Madrina, right? All credit to her, she saw a rising star bust into NXT, jumped on the bandwagon, and tried to ride it as long as she could. But Lopez is a LEECH. Dar likes the trash talk already! Lola says Lopez was trying to use her popularity to make herself relevant again. But Lola doesn’t carry deadweight. She dumped Lopez out like the baggage she is. Good stuff. But does Lola have any regrets? Nope! She regrets NADA! Dar knows that means “nothing.”
Lola doesn’t regret all the people watching her every move. She doesn’t regret all the women in the locker room being super jealous. And she doesn’t regret getting this breakout contract on her own. But wait! Here comes Lopez! She’s heard enough! Looking at Lola now, Lopez isn’t questioning why Lola did what she did. She’s just questioning who the hell Lola really is. Because half the time, Lola is holding back tears while retweeting even the littlest positive comment about her, while pretending to be all sweet and innocent, saying it is such an honor to be here in the WWE, having worked harder and sacrificed more than anyone else~!
“B*TCH!! I sacrificed way damn more! My hard work every single day is what got me here! And it’s what grabbed the attention of Santos Escobar & Legado Del Fantasma!” Dar is sweating and Oro is trying not to have Lola get mad at him while Lopez continues. “La Madrina is real! You got here by shaking your ass on Instagram!” Fans fire up hearing that one! Lopez says Lola is auditioning for a Lifetime movie one moment, and then is a wannabe MMA fighter shadowboxing in a bikini! Real talk? What Lopez is looking at is the biggest phony of all the WWE! Fans chant and duel “You’re a Phony!” “No She’s Not!”
Lopez says the one real thing in Lola’s life is gonna be their match next week, 1v1! Lola asks Lopez if she knows what she’s getting herself into. Oh, right, right, Lopez doesn’t wanna wait until next week. She wants to burn “Vice City” down tot he ground right now! Lopez TACKLES Lola over the couch!! The fans are all fired up but refs hurry to stop this! Fans boo and chant “LET THEM FIGHT!” but this only has to wait one more week! Who will really bring that Latina Heat to the last NXT before Vengeance Day?
Tony D’Angelo speaks.
Via video on Twitter/X, The Don captions the video, “OTM YOU JUST MADE A BIG MISTAKE,” while Tony tells them to listen up and listen good. They wanna come into his restaurant and tear the place up? They made a big mistake. Stacks says to have eyes on the back of your heads! Tony warns Bronco, Lucien, Scrypts, and Rizzo adds Jaida to that! “Things’re about to get real interesting for you. We’ll see you soon.” The D’Angelo Family is coming, will they make OTM regret every getting out the mud?
NXT checks in with Chase U.
It seems things are only getting worse, as the school now has to sell off much of their supplies to make ends meet. The sporting equipment, school shirts and posters, and even Mr. Chase’s favorite whiteboard, all gone! Riley Osborne walks up to Mr. Chase and apologizes. He wanted to be at this school so bad, and- No, not the banner! Aww… As he was saying, Riley feels bad for failing them in the Breakout Tournament and Dusty Cup. Chase says no, he was the one that failed the school. Wait, even the desks!? With nowhere to sit now, most of the students leave.
Duke hangs back to tell Chase that this is all just stuff. It can be replaced. Wait, his MVP trophy!? HEY!! You can’t just…! They took the trophy…? Without the trophy, without Chase U… Duke knows he’ll spiral quick. Chase says he never thought he’d see the day. Everything he worked so hard to build is going to be gone so fast. He has nothing left. Wait, the podium?! GET YOUR DAMN HANDS OFF HIS PODIUM!! Duke calms Mr. Chase down, and the podium is taken away. Well, guess that’s it. They had a good run. But next week, Chase U officially says goodbye. They look around at the empty classroom. Class dismissed, but is it for the last time?
Dragon Lee VS SCRYPTS w/ OTM!
But speaking of, it would seem the Boy Wonder also has Reggie on his case. Will Dragon flip the Scrypts and show he is worthy of going back for the North American Championship? Or will OTM’s Pro of Prose write a different ending?
NXT returns as Scrypts makes his entrance, OTM by his side. The bell rings and fans rally up for Dragon as he circles with Scrypts. They tie up, Dragon wrenches and wristlocks, but Scrypts rolls, rolls back, kips up, only for Dragon to wrench again. Scrypts goes to ropes, Dragon lets go, and the fans applaud. Scrypts runs up, Dragon dodges, and we see Oba Femi watching from the perch! Dragon headlocks for a takeover, and he spots Oba for himself now. Scrypts fights up, powers out, but Dragon runs him over! Things speed up, Scrypts hurdles but Dragon leaps over. They keep going, and Scrypts handsprings to dodge the lariat!
Fans fire up, Dragon DROPKICKS Scrypts down! Scrypts bails out, Dragon FLIES! Direct hit at the ramp and the fans fire up again! Dragon drags Scrypts up and into the ring, then runs in at the corner to JUMP KICK! Leg sweep, SWINGING DROPKICK! Fans fire up for Combinacion Dragon, and then Dragon runs in to HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Scrypts is still in this but Dragon drags him back up. Dragon whips, Scrypts holds ropes then bails out. Fans boo but Dragon figures he’ll just handspring up and out! Even Scrypts is stunned! Scrypts takes a swing but Dragon counter punches!
Dragon puts Scrypts in, RAMS into him, and then goes up and up, only for Scrypts to GAMANGIRI! Dragon falls, Scrypts builds speed and he FLYING SOMERSAULT SEATED SENTONS! Fans fire up, Scrypts puts Dragon in, and Scrypts hurries up top. Scrypts leaps to FROG-CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Dragon stays in this but Scrypts stays on him with CLUBBING shots over and over! Scrypts says OTM’s eating good, and then he brings Dragon up. Dragon throws body shots, runs, but into a SOBAT! Front kick! Snapmare, and Scrypts basement dropkicks! Cover, TWO! Scrypts taunts Dragon, pushes him around, then has him on ropes.
Scrypts talks more trash, and SLAPS Dragon! Dragon glares, ROCKS Scrypts over and over, then whips him to ropes. Scrypts reverses but Dragon CLOBBERS him! Dragon keeps moving to CLOBBER Scrypts again! ENZUGIRI! Then TORNADO DDT! Fans fire up while Scrypts is down! OTM freaks out, Bronco distracts, and Scrypts BOOTS! But Dragon BOOTS! Dragon GERMAN SUPLEXES but Scrypts lands out of it! Scrypts swings, Dragon slips through it, and Dragon reels Scrypts in! Scrypts slips free of the powerbomb, but Dragon V-TRIGGERS! Dragon runs, but into a SPANISH FLY!! Both men are down and the fans fire up!
And then here comes The D’Angelo Family! Fans fire up as Tony & Stacks brawl with Price & Nima, leaving Rizzo to go right for Jaida! It is chaos at ringside all over again, and Rizzo DIVES to take Jaida out!! Fans fire up, Dragon gives Scrypts OPERACION DRAGON!! Cover, Dragon wins!
Winner: Dragon Lee, by pinfall
Oba gets a mic to call out Dragon. Oba has made his decision! “I’ll see you… at VENGEANCE DAY!” Dragon nods, and now we will get a true match out of these two. Will the Boy Wonder be golden once again? Or will Oba continue to be The Ruler of North America?
Malik Blade & Edris Enofe sit backstage.
Malik has his head in his hands while Edris says he spent hours making them their Dusty Rhodes polka dot gear, and for what? For them to lose? Malik doesn’t get it. What else do they need to do? Brinley Reece then jumps in and asks what’s up! She is feeling the most grateful ever today! How they feeling? Brin, what’re you so happy about? She got thrown out of the battle royal super early. No, no, they only lose when they don’t learn. There is a lesson in every opportunity, and when you stay #BrinActive, you dig the positives out of every opportunity you get. She wrote in her wellness journal, reflected on it, and worked out a ton! Now, she’s excited for her next opporutnity!
Uh, okay… Good for her, but these two can’t catch a break. They don’t need any journals, they don’t need any reflecting, and at this point, they need luck. No, no, no, she has seen this before, and it doesn’t turn out well. So they’re gonna write down five things they liked about their match, five things they didn’t like about it, and then reflect. YES! Brin CHOPS Edris then cartwheels away! Five…? Malik figures they might as well try. Will Brin’s positive attitude (not) be able to revitalize even Malik & Edris?
Lyra Valkyria watches film on her tablet.
The video finishes, she stands up with the belt, and Tatum Paxley barges in, startling her! Tatum says last week, being Lyra’s tag partner was the highlight of her whole career! Lyra says yeah, they need to talk. Tatum knows, she lost the battle royal! She’s so sorry that Lyra has to have a match now. No, not that. The thing is, Tatum’s a really… “special” kind of girl. And last week was a one time thing, okay? This isn’t gonna work out. Roxanne is coming after the title, there’s a lot going on, Lyra just doesn’t have time to respond to all of the texts, emails and voicemails Tatum leaves her.
Tatum says if anyone understands Lyra, it’s her. She totally gets it, it isn’t Lyra, it’s Roxanne. All of Lyra’s focus is on Roxanne, so Tatum gets it. Great! Amazing! Thanks! Okay, glad they’re on the same page. Lyra heads out and Tatum says of course they’re on the same page. Um, are we sure Tatum is even in the same library? Or is she going to misread this whole situation?
Blair Davenport VS Karmen Petrovic!
Speaking of that battle royal, the Ichiban Gaijin did not appreciate one of the new kids eliminating her early, and made sure that new kid would lose early, too. Now it’s all about payback, will Karmen make this into #KillBlair? Or will she instead learn to beware of the heir?
NXT returns and Karmen makes her entrance. The bell rings and Blair rushes in! Karmen dodges, KICKS Blair’s leg, and eggs her on. Blair swings again, Karmen dodges to KCIK! Blair avoids another shot, then they tie up. Blair KNEES low, ROCKS Karmen, then whips. Karmen ducks ‘n’ dodges to slide and trip Blair up! Oklahoma Roll, TWO! Karmen KICKS Blair in the stomach! Blair sputters, but she ELBOWS Karmen away. Blair goes up to DOUBLE STOMP Karmen down! Fans fire up and Blair brings Karmen up to whip her to a corner. Then back into the corner! Then a third time into the corner!
Blair scoops Karmen to hit a BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Blair keeps on Karmen with a chinbar, and she shifts to bend Karmen back! Fans rally, Karmen endures, and Karmen fights up. Blair knees low, whips her to a corner, then scoops her, but Karmen slips free! Karmen O’Conner Rolls, TWO! Blair stands but Karmen KCIKS! And KICKS! And KICKS! Karmen fires up, runs and CLOBBERS Blair! And again! Karmen spins to LARIAT! The fans fire up as Karmen wants Blair to get up again. Blair goes to a corner, Karmen runs in to ROUNDHOUSE! Karmen pushes Blair down, but Blair avoids the rolling kick!
Blair hauls Karmen up but Karmen slips free again! Karmen kicks, Blair blocks, but Karmen SPIN BACK KICKS! Cover, TWO! Blair survives Karmen literally turning things around on her, and goes to another corner. Karmen runs in but Blair dodges! Karmen gets caught up in the ropes, and Blair SHOTGUNS her down! Blair hauls Karmen up, suplexes, FALCON ARROW! Then the wristlocks and KAMI-GOYE!! Cover, Blair wins!
Winner: Blair Davenport, by pinfall
Another singles win for dangerous Davenport, and she’s looking to keep going. Will she be waiting for the champion on the other side of Vengeance Day?
Backstage interview with Ridge Holland.
Kelly Kincaid is with Ridge and notes his big win over Joe Coffey. But then after, Gallus jumped him and had some rather choice words for him. Ridge says yeah, they rubbed in that he has no friends, that he has no one to save him. They used the numbers game and he got his arse handed to him. Then why doesn’t Ridge ask for help? And what? Prove Joe Coffey right? Listen, he stepped away from the Brawling Brutes to prove himself and stand on his own two feet. All Gallus has done is galvanized Ridge. He simply has another hurdle in front of him on his journey of redemption. Thank you for the chat, Kelly.
Wait, Ridge, hold on. Does that mean he is going to take on Gallus by himself? Well, yeah. That’s exactly what he’s saying. Ridge Da Fridge heads out, but will Northern Grit be able to win the numbers game when it’s 3v1? Or will it ALWAYS be Gallus Boys On Top?
Ilja Dragunov heads to ringside!
The NXT Champion wants to see Trick Williams and Josh Briggs have it out, so he’s going to join commentary for tonight’s main event. Will we see the #1 contender build momentum towards the title match? Or will Briggs be the one to #WhoopDatTrick?
Trick Williams VS Josh Briggs!
NXT returns and Briggs makes his entrance, followed by Trick’s. The bell rings and the two tie up. Briggs powers Trick to ropes, then swings, but Trick dodges. Trick and Briggs egg each other on, tie up again, and Trick headlocks. Briggs powers up and out to ELBOW Trick! Briggs scoops and SLAMS Trick, then drops the ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Dragunov says that since he has the opportunity, he has to say it clearly: he is the Mad Dragon, he fights upfront, face to face. He does not attack anyone out of nowhere, random and cowardly. Briggs puts Trick in a corner and tells Ilja to watch this! Briggs throws heavy elbows into Trick!
Briggs then whips Trick corner to corner, but Trick BOOTS back! Trick fires hands, but Briggs knees low. Briggs whips, Trick reverses and DROPKICKS! Briggs staggers, into a scoop and SLAM! Trick fires up, he scoops and SLAMS again! Fans fire up with Trick and he storms up on Briggs in a corner. But Briggs ROCKS Trick first! Trick wobbles, Briggs runs, and Briggs BOOTS Trick down! Briggs then CHOKE URENAGES!! Cover, TWO!! Trick survives and flops out of the ring, Dragunov wants him to get up.

Trick throws hands!
Trick ROCKS Briggs but Briggs knees low! Briggs whips, runs up but Trick dodges! Briggs hits buckles, Trick bobs ‘n’ weaves to ROCK Briggs, but Briggs hits back. They brawl with fast hands, Trick gets the edge and the UPPERCUT! Trick whips, Briggs reverses but Trick LEAPING LARIATS! Fans fire up again as Trick LEG LARIATS! And LEG LARIATS again! Fans fire up and Trick FLAPJACKS Briggs! Trick lets the hair down, he takes aim from the corner, SPIN- NO, Briggs blocks the kick to scoop and SIDEWALK SLAM! SPLASH! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up, Briggs clamps onto Trick and whips him to a corner.
Trick hits buckles, Briggs runs in, heads collide! Both men fall, Dragunov tells Trick to fight for this! If Trick wants to be champion, then he has to fight! Briggs runs in, Trick dodges, the BOOT blasts Dragunov over the desk!! Trick’s CYCLONE KICK takes Briggs out!! Fans fire up and Trick puts Briggs in! The fans are all fired up as Trick climbs!

Winner: Trick Williams, by pinfall
But Briggs CLOTHESLINE FROM HELL!?! Fans boo as Briggs is a sore loser! Melo is stunned, he didn’t think he’d have to save Trick from Briggs! As for Dragunov, he rises, his rage now aimed at Melo! Refs hurry to stop Dragunov, and Trick is just as upset with Melo for once again not honoring his request! Dragunov is taken away by refs, will he get his hands on Melo one way or another? Is Trick Melo Gang about to fall apart at the seams, so close to having everything?
Thea Hail & Jacy Jayne meet backstage.
Thea is stressing out, because Chase U is her life. It gave her everything, taught her everything, and now it’s gone… Jacy says no, it’s not. She is still workshopping her solution. But then Lexis walks over and says if the ladies need a shoulder to cry on, lean on the shoulders of a winner. Uh, no, Thea’s good. Well, maybe she’d feel better if she told Lexis what he could do to cheer her up. But Riley storms over and tells Lexis to back off. Riley, you’re such a buzzkill. Yeah, well, these ladies don’t want anything to do with the likes of you. Well, talk about going from hero to zero. Says the zero! Riley is Thea’s hero! Er, uh, Chase U’s hero!
Thea thanks Riley for that, and he says no problem. He’s just sorry they had to deal with Lexis. It’s okay. Well, no, it’s not, but it is okay now that Riley’s here. Yeah, it has been a rough day, huh? But hey, can Riley and Thea get a second alone later? Just to chat. Oh, yeah, Thea’s okay with that. Okay, see you later. Riley leaves and Thea has a small freak out. Jacy says she knows Thea is new to this, but she’s gotta keep it cool. Be a grown ass woman, remember? Right, grown ass woman. Thea takes a few breaths, will she be able to find something good in all this Chase U drama?
No Quarter Catch Crew speaks.
Drew Gulak says, “There is no great success without great sacrifice. The No Quarter Catch Crew consists of four strangers bound by the sacrifices we’ve made in the name of this great sport.” Charlie Dempsey says, “In this squared circle, it isn’t about friendships, it’s about four men uniting as one by athletic purity and against entertainment.” Damon Kemp says, “The art of what we do, what we train our bodies to endure, goes unappreciated by the masses. But we are not in it for the fleeting acknowledgement. We rejoice in our unrelenting devotion to this sport. Because your breaking point is our starting line.”
Myles Borne says, “This constant defines us.” Gulak says every time they compete in NXT, they invoke “The Catch Clause.” That clause says they determine who wrestlers the match for NQCC. And in NXT, they will show no pity, no mercy, no remorse, and no quarter.
Trick Melo Gang regroups backstage.
Trick is mad with Melo but Melo says Dragunov was coming after Trick! Trick says no he wasn’t, but Melo’s convinced he was! Trick doesn’t believe Dragunov is playing him?! No, Dragunov’s straight up! Melo doesn’t believe that. What about with Corbin, huh? Dragunov was messing with Corbin, now he’s messing with Trick! When’s Trick gonna see it? Trick is the hottest thing out there and Dragunov knows he can’t beat Trick, so that’s why he’s doing all this! Wake up! Melo storms off, and Trick wonders if he’s got a point. Can Trick Melo Gang pull together and beat the LWO to go to the Dusty Cup Finals?
BREAKING NEWS for Vengeance Day!
After the attack at the restaurant and the brawl here tonight, The D’Angelo Family and OTM are going 3v3 in a MIXED SIX TAG! Will The Don, Stacks & Rizz handle biz against Bronco, Lucien & Jaida? Or will there be a new crew running the streets?
Ava Raine is already in the ring.
The new NXT GM is here, and she says with the Royal Rumble this Saturday, January 27th, and NXT Vengeance Day on Sunday, February 4th, “all eyes are on NXT right now.” That said, she would like to introduce two superstars who will be competing for the NXT Women’s Championship. Firstly, the challenger, Roxanne Perez! Fans cheer as The Prodigy makes her way out and joins Ava in the ring. And now, the NXT Women’s Champion, Lyra Valkyria! Fans cheer as The Morrigan makes her entrance to join everyone in the ring. They all take their seats at the table, and Ava says there are some big expectations for this match. All that’s left is to sign and make it official.
Roxie says they should get all the respect stuff out of the way, since we know they both respect each other. More importantly, Roxie thinks this is a Stand & Deliver main event a couple months early. Lyra agrees, this match is what everyone wants to see. Lyra almost feels they’ve been on parallel paths these last 12 months. The day Roxie won this title was the same day Lyra made her debut here. Then this must be a match a year in the making. And Roxie’s been wanting to say this to Lyra’s face: Lyra has had an incredible run. Lyra is THE NXT Women’s Champion, the best woman in the best division in ALL of WWE!
But… It feels a little familiar to Roxie, because she was exactly where Lyra was just one year ago. This past year, everyone has witnessed the rise of Lyra while Roxie has had to pick herself back up, jump over every hurdle, dig deeper, and chase down the title she never truly lost in the first place. Fans cheer that! Roxie vows that at Vengeance Day, no more Triple Threats, Fatal 4 Ways, battle royals, or other stipulations. She finally gets a 1v1 title match. And when she wins, that will mean every single thing she went through was worth it. And Lyra… Well, she’ll travel down the road Roxie just walked on to get back to her and her title.
Fans cheer, but Lyra says Roxie shouldn’t act like Lyra hasn’t been watching her. Lyra watched Roxie grow from this little girl just happy to be here into this confident woman that isn’t afraid to snap when her buttons are pushed. And Lyra isn’t trying to push any buttons, but she’ll tell Roxie the truth. Roxie had a great run, but Lyra’s replaced her. Lyra replaced Roxie at the top of this division. And Lyra knows Roxie’s gonna bring this new, edgy Roxie to Vengeance Day. The edgy Roxie that walked on glass to get here. Good. Lyra needs that Roxie. Because the last person Lyra needs to prove this is HER division to… is Roxie.
And at Vengeance Day, that is exactly what will happen. Then, the last 12 months for Roxie will mean nothing. Oh, so confident, Lyra. Trust Roxie, she sounded exactly the same. Just another show, just another challenger. But Roxie will give Lyra some advice, because this is what’s gonna happen: Lyra’s gonna lose, and then that is when the real questions start to begin. “Is Lyra overrated? Was it too fast, too soon?” Because some days, the people won’t be with her. And some days, they’re even gonna BOO her! Fans boo that, and Roxie asks if Lyra can handle that. Because it is so easy to handle it when everything is going right!
It’s fine now while Lyra is on the posters, the trucks, the billboards, but when Roxie becomes champion again, and she will, will Lyra be able to rebuild like Roxie did? Or will she crumble? Lyra knows what Roxie is getting at, and she is wrong! Lyra has always been mentally and physically table than Roxie. Where Roxie crumbles, that is where Lyra triumphs! Lyra may have been following behind Roxie, but after Vengeance Day, Roxie will stay behind Lyra! Ava keeps these two from getting physical, they are going to save it for Vengeance Day. Right now, they’re gonna sign the contract. Fans cheer Ava showing her authority!
Roxie and Lyra put the mics down and then Lyra takes the pen. She signs her part, pushes the contract at Roxie, and Roxie signs her part. That makes it official! At Vengeance Day, we get Lyra VS Roxie for the NXT Women’s Championship, “good luck to you both.” Ava steps aside while these two stare down. They shake hands, but then Lyra raises the belt. Will the Morrigan stay on top of the mountain? Or will Roxie knock her down from her perch? Wait! Tatum is slithering out from under the table!! She sneaks up on Roxie, to then pick her up and SPINEBUSTER through the table!! Lyra freaks out, as do the fans, but Tatum hugs Lyra like this was their plan!
Lyra asks what the hell! Tatum thought this is what Lyra was talking about earlier! Lyra tells Tatum to stay away!! What has Tatum’s obsession just done to the Vengeance Day title match?!
My Thoughts:
A great NXT that felt like half a go-home for Vengeance Day. And the theme for tonight seemed to be utter chaos at ringside. Gacy VS Dijak never actually happening was great stuff, those two busting up the desk and the wall and still not staying down. I would think these two need a Street Fight or Last Man Standing match to settle things. Really good stuff in the D’Angelos VS OTM story, especially with their own brawl to set up the Mixed Six while helping Dragon Lee win and compel Oba Femi into giving him a title rematch. As great as Dragon is, I feel like this is gonna be another win for Oba to establish how powerful he is, because he is.
Lexis King beating Trey Bearhill was a bit of a surprise, but it feeds his ego and helps him segue to a feud with Riley Osborne. Really good stuff out of Chase U tonight, being both hilarious but also a little sad. Jacy’s super secret idea still needs to be revealed, maybe that happens at Vengeance Day or something like that. Good promo from Malik & Edris with Brinley Reece, but I’m not sure where this is going. Either they drag her down into being pessimistic, or more likely the team splits up when Malik sees things Brin’s way and Edris doesn’t. And good match from Blair VS Karmen, but of course Blair wins that one.
Good promo from Wren with Fallon, really good match of Wren VS Lash, but it made sense Lash won there. Fallon seems to have found herself a new tag partner, and they’ll have a good match against Lash & Jakara. Really good stuff from Lopez and Lola tonight, and it is a bit surprising how well and how quickly they flipped the Face-Heel dynamics. Lola still has plenty of fans in NXT, but going by her betrayal and Lopez burning her tonight, Lola easily comes off the Heel now as they are set to have a match next week. There’s a good chance Lopez wins to hurt Lola’s momentum and put into question whether Lola will try and cash in.
And speaking of the women’s title, great stuff from Lyra and Roxie, and even Tatum. Very outside the box thinking of Tatum hiding under that table the entire contract signing segment, and then her being the one putting Roxie through the table. Not sure how this affects the go-home math, but I would think Roxie at least wants a match with Tatum for the go-home to add to things. Also, interesting move having Roxie go from Assistant (to the) GM to THE GM of NXT. I wonder if this means HBK is becoming HHH’s right hand man on RawDown, if in kayfabe at least. And great to see William Regal on screen again. He’s been back in WWE for a little while, so it’s good to see him make the return official.
Awesome opening match from Bron & Corbin VS Axiom & Frazer. I figured the Wolf Dogs would win, but the fans loved all four guys in that match. And at this point, it is practically a given Bron & Corbin win the Dusty Cup. With how Trick Melo Gang was going tonight, they might not even beat LWO next week in the go-home, and I definitely don’t see LWO winning the Cup. Great stuff out of Trick VS Briggs, with Melo really deflecting hard onto Dragunov. Everything Melo said about Dragunov being afraid of Trick’s success and wanting to stop it can apply to Melo for the moment Melo pulls his “It was ME, Austin!” promo on Trick. Vengeance Day is going to be some really strong stuff for NXT not just for going into WrestleMania season but for 2024 overall.
My Score: 8.8/10

Speaking of the TNT Championship, it will be Red Death challenging Jack Perry for that gold. But before he becomes the Face of TNT, can he prove to Johnny and the world that he is #TVReady?

Perry shoves Menard aside, then goes into the bus. Perry brings out a tow chain, with a hook on it! Perry CLUBS Menard, then hooks him up to the back of the bus! Between the chain and the bus exhaust, Menard is coughing and sputtering. Perry tells Menard, “We all have to sacrifice.” Perry then goes into the bus, but Garcia runs up! Garcia fires off on Perry, throws him into the side of the bus, “You thought this was a game?!” Garcia stomps Perry, and he frees Menard from the chain. Garcia stands Perry up abut Menard has an idea. Menard takes the camera, but Collision goes to break. What hell will Garcia put Perry through a week before Full Gear?
Lio Rush speaks.
“I am sick and tired of feeling the way that I’ve been feeling lately. Lost and confused on where I stand with the people that surrounded me. It’s really hard to know exactly who you are when you lose the matches that mean the most. But then I take a deep breath, I look at my watch, and I remember that I’m the Man of the Hour. I came to AEW to collect titles. I’m a 30-year-old piece of gold, and I pray that the people I call friends get on the same page. Because it’s only a matter of time before Lio Rush is rushing to the top.”
Garcia has Perry tied to the hood of the bus!
Garcia shouts at Perry that he was waiting for a reason! Garcia and Menard get in the bus, and they take Perry for a ride! They go through guard rails, up a ramp, and perhaps even into town! Will the Scapegoat end up a bug on a windshield?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up.

But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?

Bronson flounders into a corner, the fans fire up as Hobbs headbutts buckles! Hobbs runs up to SPLASH in the corner! Hobbs says he’s got all the meat! Hobbs LARIATS point blank again and again as fans chant “MEAT!” Hobbs lets Bronson stagger about, before he CLOBBERS him!

Big, jacked, and ANYBODY can get it! That is the way of the Powerhouse! Will the Book of Hobbs have quite the comeback story?

Lexy is now with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. She congratulates Roddy for getting his third win via Lance Archer. Roddy now faces MJF at Full Gear, so how is he feeling? How’s he feeling? First, thanks for all that, Lexy, he appreciates it. Second, “MAAAX! You have seven days. Seven days from right now until you’re standing across the ring from me, Max. And look, I got a lot to say, and on Wednesday, you’re gonna hear it all, but I just wanna leave you with this: Max, you walk around here thinking you’re smarter than everybody, you’re better than everybody. I don’t think you realize what you’ve gotten yourself into.
“I am the Messiah of the Backbreaker. I am a damn wrestling legend! And when Full Gear ends, you’re gonna realize that I’m better than you, and you know it!” Roddy is ready to throw it all back in MJF’s face, but will the Wolf of Wrestling have a contingency plan?
Private Party is here!
The MVP Arena is ready to party with the champs, and Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy are ready to watch the final match of the contenders’ series! Who joins Private Party, The Outrunners, and The Kings of the Black Throne at Full Gear?
Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series: Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Jake “The Snake” Roberts VS The Acclaimed w/ Billy Gunn!
Platinum Max of course has a diss track. “These dudes gotta be embarrassed. You ’bout to lose bigger than Kamala Harris! LFI in a title match is outta place. It’s like Mexicans being managed by Jake the Snake! I would’ve called the committee, but you’re lucky Albany’s a sanctuary city!” Bowens takes over to say, “ALBANAAAAAY~! The Acclaimed have arrived! Scissor me, Daddy Ass~!” And he does~! But Caster doesn’t? The teams sort out, and while Caster wants to, Bowens convinces him to let Bowens start.

PROGRAMMING NOTE for next week!
With Full Gear being next Saturday, November 23rd, Collision takes a week off! We’ll see everyone back here in two weeks on November 30th!
Backstage interview with Mina Shirakawa.
Lexy is with the Fighting Gravure Idol and congratulates her on her win in her return. Mina says yes, she is so back to have come back here, and she is so excited for Mariah’s match. Lexy says Mina already has multiple championships, is AEW gold on her mind at all? Mina says she’s just excited for Mariah’s match. But that’s not a no… Time to dance! Mina shimmies her way on out, but will she end up wanting something more than just fun with her friend?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy is now with Mark Briscoe, Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii, and she notes that in a couple weeks, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, it will be Tomohiro Ishii VS Chris Jericho for the ROH World Championship. How is Ishii feeling? The Stone Pitbull is stone-faced, so Mark Briscoe “translates” what #BigTom is exuding with his aura. This is what he’s trying to say: Jericho, your days are numbered! You better shine that title up real nice, sleep with it real close, because soon, it’s getting up outta there! “Learning Tree my ass, you about to learn a lesson about humility! You about to learn a lesson about gettin’ your ass whooped!”
Mark asks if they understand what he’s saying, and Rocky says yeah, he’s picking up what Mark’s putting down. Rocky’s digging the energy, and he feels the intensity. But he has to know one thing: What is the word of the day? That’s a hell of a question, Rocky, because today, it is a menagerie of words! Take a basket, reach in, pull out the word of the day, and well, it’s tenacious! Tenacity! Ferocious! Velocity! Ferocity! He’s tellin’ ya, long story short, that title is coming back to the Conglomeration, courtesy of Tomohiro Ishii! Jericho, you gettin’ your ass whooped, son! RARARARA!
Mark may be fire on the outside, but Ishii is fire on the inside. Will The Learning Tree be burned down either way?
Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy notes that this past Wednesday, Cash Wheeler & Dax Harwood came up short in their own Full Gear Contenders Series match. Where are their heads out right now? Cash says he wishes he had an answer, because he doesn’t really know. FTR doesn’t know where they go from here. They wish it was just one bad night, but the truth of the matter is, FTR lost those titles a little over a year ago and have had chances to get them back where they just haven’t. Maybe it’s FTR. Maybe their time has passed them. Maybe they need to reevaluate. Dax agrees. But on Dynamite, the better team won on that night.
While FTR could cry about it, or they could rebuild. Therefore, they will rebuild. This may not be FTR’s time, but it is someone’s time. It is The Outrunners’ time! And maybe after Full Gear, we get an FTRunners dream match for those titles. Boys, they’re pulling for you. Speaking of, we’re about to hear from The Outrunners right now!
The Outrunners speak.
Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd have another retro style video in old standard definition, saying they’ve got the looks and the attitude, so you know they’ve got “the stuff!” It’s a highlight reel of their match with Top Flight, even using retro graphics in the editing. You gotta have the meat! And right now, they’re sizzling! But will Truth & Turbo be prime A1 material at Full Gear? Or will they end up well done?
AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualifications Match: Mariah May VS Anna Jay!
The Battle of the Belts was a Title Eliminator that went The Queenslayer’s way, only for The Glamour to get her revenge in the proper title match. However, all the back and forth, the bullying and the brawling, it has led to this rubber match! And as if No Disqualifications isn’t raising the stakes enough, Anna promises that if she loses, this is the last time she challenges Mariah for the title! Will this last chance be just the chance Anna needs to become The Star of the Show? Or will AEW still be All About Mariah?
Anna already brings a duffel bag of weaponry, and Nigel panics for Mariah’s sake. But Mariah came prepared with a trash can, baseball bat, and proper attire for a Street Fight. The introductions are made, but Mariah throws her can already! Anna dodges then SHOTGUNS Mariah! The bell rings, Anna is right on Mariah, and she sends Mariah into the railing! And then the steel steps! And then back into railing! The fans fire up while Anna keeps after Mariah with haymakers. Anna whips Mariah hard into railing! The Vendetta watches backstage, they seem to like Anna bringing out the violence as she SMACKS Mariah off the desk!

Anna SMACKS Mariah off the apron, then grabs herself a chair, to SMACK Mariah with it legs first! Anna pushes Mariah into the ring, then goes up a corner. Mariah stands into Anna’s BLOCKBUSTER!

Mariah grabs the trash can and puts it around Anna! Mariah drums on the can, then goes to a corner.
Mariah climbs, Anna stands, and Mariah MISSILE DROPKICKS Anna down! Cover, TWO! Anna survives but Mariah just goes outside to look under the ring. The fans fire up in anticipation, and Mariah grins as she brings out a LADDER! Mariah pushes that ladder into the ring, stomps Anna around, then drags the ladder up. The ladder is propped up in a corner, then whips Anna, but Anna reverses! Mariah avoids hitting the ladder, but Anna has the QUEENSLAYER SLEEPER! Mariah flails, reaches out, but Anna hops on as a backpack! Only for Mariah to SENTON onto the ladder!
The fans fire up while both women are down, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Mariah sputters and coughs while she crawls to ropes. Mariah rolls out of the ring and hurries to look under the ring again. Mariah brings out a new chair, but Anna has brought out one of her own! They each slide the chairs in, and then they add more chairs! And more chairs! So many chairs! They both storm in, armed with chairs, and they CLASH! Mariah is disarmed, so Anna SMACKS her down! Anna goes for her duffel bag! Anna brings out… a crowbar, a wrench, wire, a chain, but she wants the PRYBAR! Mariah ROCKS Anna first, then THRWOS her down onto the chairs! Mariah stomps Anna, then sees all the goodies Anna brought!
Mariah picks up the strap! Mariah LASHES Anna, LASHES her again, but that just pisses Anna off! Anna blocks the shot, ROCKS Mariah, then LASHES her on the back! And LASHES her again!

The ladder doesn’t break but Mariah’s face might have! Cover, TWO!! The Vendetta is still watching, and while Taya is very animated, Deonna is very stoic. Anna goes out to look under the ring. Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first!

Taya is upset but Deonna says it’s alright. Anna and Mariah pushed each other to their limits, but also to some dark places. The Glamour is still atop the AEW Women’s Division, and here comes Mina! Best friends get to celebrate Mariah’s victory, and then Mariah KICKS ANna in the side! Mina says no, Mariah, you already did enough! Mariah accepts that, and BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan: Now that Mariah has retained her title, she and Mina will have their championship champagne celebration for Full Gear! Will no one ever stop Mariah’s reign of glamour?
Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac is with Marina Shafir in the parking lot as he says, “I’ve underestimated Orange Cassidy. I’ve pushed him in the ring before, but this sport’s about so much more than what goes on between the ropes. I thought when I broke Chuck Taylor’s neck, one of two things would happen: Either he would turn into a shaky puddle of tears, and I’d walk right over him; or he’d be backed into a corner and he’s snap back, bringing the animal out of Orange Cassidy. Neither of those two things happened, and now I see it for the first time. I don’t think he even went to the hospital with Chuck Taylor.
“He acts like he’s so sad, and that young Wheeler’s traveled down a path he doesn’t approve of, but he doesn’t care. He’s full of it. Now I see it for the first time. I can’t believe I didn’t see it before. Orange Cassidy is a snake. Cold-blooded, reptilian, unnerved. The test will be this Wednesday, when you face your beloved former student who you claim to care about. Will you strike with venomous intent? Or will you keep it clean? Cold-blooded opponent, that is a different challenge entirely, this is gonna be harder than I thought. But man, I wish I was cold-blooded. But I’m not. No. I feel everything.
“Not just the weight of the AEW World Championship, but I feel the weight of the last five years. I feel the weight of the dreams and aspirations of every single wrestler who walks through these doors. I feel the weight of everybody’s mistakes and broken promises. I feel the weight of every single AEW fan who buys a ticket and pays for parking, and takes off work, and gives us their hard-earned money, and time, and energy, because AEW is something they believe in! What AEW could be! You don’t like the way I do things? November 23rd, you’re gonna have a chance.
“Lop my head off. Let it hit the dirt and roll at your feet. Reach down and pick up that crown, put it on your head. See if you like how it feels. At Full Gear, I smear Orange Cassidy’s blood on our flag, and I plant it in the ground so hard, it will never get moved. You wanna ride with me? You wanna ride in MY AEW? We ride into battle every single day to grab pro-wrestling by the balls, and you better be ready to die on your shield every single day! And if you’re not, get out. Or you will get taken out.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will Freshly Squeezed heed it?
AEW Collision wraps with the November to Remember music video.
Set to November Rain by Guns ‘n’ Roses, we look back even as far as the last time Jon Moxley and Orange Cassidy feuded, which included their battle over the AEW International Championship at Full Gear 2023. There are also highlights to hype up the TNT Championship match of Jack Perry VS Daniel Garcia, and the long-awaited grudge match between Jay White and Hangman Page. Who will truly make this a November to Remember when they stand tall in the November rain?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision, and I forgot that this counts as the go-home Collision with Full Gear next week. The music video recap package to end the show is really well done, and makes a good ending moment, but then it makes other promos a little redundant. Honestly, why not wait to use this as the cold open to Full Gear next Saturday? This would be an awesome PPV opening video. And good closing promo from Moxley, with good spin on Cassidy’s aloof nature. Maybe Cassidy’s cold, or maybe he’s in control of his emotions. I suppose Cassidy VS Yuta on Dynamite will give some of that away.
Great stuff with the TNT Championship story. Garcia VS Johnny was a really good match, even with MXM getting involved. Perry abducting Menard in an attempt to tow him behind the bus was wild, but I like how Garcia turned the tables on Perry. I kinda wish we got a little more of their “joyride” through Albany and New York, but maybe we get more of that on Dynamite. Either way, it feels like Garcia already has the “standing tall” part of the go-home math, meaning he loses at Full Gear. Maybe Perry will cheat his way out of the match so that Garcia can still be strong in defeat.
Really good match from Shelton and Komander but of course Shelton won. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate with The Acclaimed to keep up the recruit tease, and very good match from Acclaimed VS LFI. Good win for The Acclaimed, and you can bet that the Fatal 4 Way will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. Caster was even distancing himself in his own way here, with not wanting to scissor finger before the match and other little details. Caster can turn on Bowens and join the Hurt Syndicate to start on a singles championship story with them. Lio Rush likely will, too, given his promo.
Very good promo from Conglomeration to hype up Thanksgiving Eve and the ROH World Championship match of Ishii VS Jericho. Still doesn’t feel like Jericho’s losing, though, as he really only just got the title and there’s still this idea of Jericho being responsible for ROH getting a TV deal. Y’know, the same way he’s kayfabe responsible for Collision happening so that he could be on another show separate from… Whoever he was feuding with back then. Very good promo from Roddy to call out MJF, though he literally says he’ll talk more on Dynamite so what was the point of tonight? Just filling time?
Great match for Hobbs to get back on a winning track in singles action, and the “All Star 8 Man” on Wednesday will be great stuff. I feel like Brian Cage or Lance Archer takes the loss in that match, giving momentum to Ricochet and Ospreay going into each of the Full Gear grudge matches. With that, Ricochet maybe pulls off the International Championship win, but Ospreay probably does not win because of Don Callis Family cheating. As for Hobbs himself, The Continental Classic is coming, maybe he gets in on that and really dominates. Hobbs and Okada would be a lot of fun to see, I kinda hope we get that.
Great opener from Mina VS Harley as Harley continues to build her in-ring skill and impress. I like Mina kinda dodging the question about titles here in AEW, because she doesn’t wanna give away that she wants THE AEW Women’s World Championship. Mariah VS Anna was a great main event, they really busted out some good stuff. Mariah using the hair spray was a very clever way to turn things around and help her win. Mariah and Mina having their celebration on Full Gear, I feel like that’s the moment things go sideways in this friendship.
My Score: 8.8/10

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up! Daivari headlocks, Briscoe powers out, but Daivari RAMS Briscoe! Briscoe roars! Daivari runs and RAMS Briscoe again! And again! Then Daivari fires hands! But Briscoe blocks to ROCK Daivari! And ROCK him again! And again! REDNECK PALM STRIKES! Briscoe puts Daivari in a corner!
Briscoe rains down fists and the fans count to TEN! Briscoe hops down, the fans fire up, and Briscoe CLOBBERS Daivari! And CLOBBERS him again! Briscoe whips, Daivari reverses, but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up with Briscoe and he runs at the corner. LARIAT, and then FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Daivari survives but Briscoe calls his shot! Briscoe drags Daivari up, reels him in, but Daivari fights the underhooks! Daivari wrenches, dodges a lariat, and SUPERKICKS! Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
With the confrontations we’ve seen from them all, we see Will Ospreay join forces with Will Hobbs, Mark Davis & Ricochet against Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Brian Cage & Lance Archer!

Rocky Romero VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!
Rampage returns and the bell rings. The fans rally as Azucar and Commander of the Skies circle, but Montel Vontavious Porter is watching backstage…? Who business could MVP and The Hurt Syndicate have here? Rocky and Komander tie up, Komander wrenches and wristlocks. Rocky rolls then DROPKICKS! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, then waits on Komander. The two reset, circle, and tie up again. Rocky waistlocks, SLAMS, then flips Komander, maybe a little too much. Rocky flips Komander over again but Komander kips up to arm-drag! Komander gives some Latino Heat of his own, and Rocky can’t help but smile.
The fans rally as Komander and Rocky feel things out. They knuckle lock, go shoulder to shoulder, and the fans cheer the Test of Strength. Rocky powers Komander back, then MONKEY FLIPS! Rocky rolls back but Komander blocks the mount to then go up and MONKEY FLIP back! It’s a double cover, TWO as both men bridge! The fans cheer this exchange, and the two roll to their feet.

The fans and Abrahantes fires up as Komander fires off CHOPS and KICKS! The ref counts, Komander lets off, but Rocky sucker punches him! Rocky has Komander in the corner now, hoists him up again, but then traps him on the top rope by lacing the legs!

Rocky brings Komander up to CLUB him down. Rocky then stalks Komander, CLUBS him again, and stalks him to ropes. Rocky brings Komander into a waistlock, but shoves him to ropes to ROCK him in the back! Komander drops to his knees, but Rocky stands him up. Rocky shoves and ROCKS Komander again! Cover, TWO! Komander stays tough but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and the fans fire up for Komander as he goes up, up, salutes, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS Rocky down! The fans fire up and MVP is impressed. Komander puts Rocky in, the fans rally behind “KO-MAN-DER!” But Rocky intercepts the flight for a fireman’s carry! Komander slips free, suplexes, but Rocky slips free. Rocky shoves but Komander DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander runs corner to corner to go up and up, MOONSAULT, into BOOTS! Komander staggers, into SLICED BREAD! Cover, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but he hurries to bring Komander back up. Rocky whips, but Komander tiger feints and rolls!
Komander goes up and has Rocky with a dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, for a POWERSLAM into the corner!! The fans fire up as Komander sets Rocky in the drop zone. Komander climbs, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall
MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him!

Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!

TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards! Dante ducks under, runs at Ricochet, but Ricochet goes up and over! Dante puts Ricochet on the apron but Ricochet ENZIGIRIS! Ricochet springboards again, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dante survives and the fans fire up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again.

Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
