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. Dragunov says if Trick’s struggling here, he has no chance against Dragunov for the title.

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! But Dragunov wants in now, pissed off at Briggs! But MELO stops Dragunov!! Trick LEAPS, but into Briggs’ hand! Trick victory rolls it, Trick wins!!
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.

The fans boo, especially as Moxley doesn’t stop! Moxley lets go, but they’re still not done as he and Yuta mug Fox! The fans boo but Moxley gets a mic to call out Hangman Page. This guy, this cowboy, Moxley has been watching him piss away his opportunities for years! Moxley’s been watching Hangman piss away his God-given gifts for years!

The fans boo even more, but Moxley tells Hangman he can just go back to counting chickens or whatever it is he does, because this business is NOT for him! The Maniac has given his warning, but is it all bluster knowing Hangman isn’t around? Or will nothing and no one stop the reign of terror?

The AEW TNT Champion says Grand Slam: Mexico was one for the ages. Not just for him but for Bandido, for Danny, that was a great night.

Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata & TayJay speak.
Tay Melo tells Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford that they know what happened last time. Tonight is round two! And Anna adds that there are so many more ways they wanna hurt them. The One True African Queen says Thekla may have won, but she knows she got hit hard, huh? She ain’t seen nothing yet! And La Mera Mera reminds Athena that she’s coming for that ROH Women’s World Championship. Tonight, she takes Athena’s head!
Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.
The Fallen Goddess thanks the Toxic Spider, Megasus & Superbad Girl for accepting the invitation. But even then, Athena still doesn’t like crazy spider lady, still doesn’t like Ford, and is still bigger and badder than Megan. But tonight, it’s ATHENA Elite Wrestling! So let’s get it together, girls, so Athena can have her moment. And if they do, they can be her Minions. Ford keeps Megan from storming up on Athena, but can these war goddesses hold it together to be victorious?
AEW shares footage from after Grand Slam: Mexico.
Renee Paquette was with the NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion, Mercedes Mone, and says what a huge night. Another history making moment as she is now #SixBeltsMone! Mone says damn straight! Unfortunately, not everyone was in the mood for celebrating… Toni Storm rained on her parade a bit. Mone tells Toni, “You think you’re gonna play mind games with me? Well, I am the master of any game! So bring it! Tonight’s win was just a preview for what’s to come at All In: Texas. Toni, you call yourself ‘Timeless?’ Well, I’m iconic! I’m Six Belts Mone! The Conversation, the Blueprint, The C E O!”
And the Money Train is on a roll! Toni’s time is ticking, and it is almost up. See you in Texas, b*tch! Mone rolls on, but will she have lucky number seven? Or will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one prize she doesn’t get to have?
Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Shane Taylor w/ Shane Taylor Promotions!
The Realest may have a house, but Big Bad Shaney T. Boy has an entire promotion! And while this is Swerve’s homecoming to Washington, will he have homefield advantage? Or will Shane show him how to rumble, bad man, rumble?
The bell rings and the two circle. Shane swings, Swerve dodges to waistlock, but then Swerve avoids the elbow. Shane stops the Eddy Gordo Rana, brings Swerve up to back suplex, but Swerve lands out. Shane blocks a boot, Swerve reels him in and sunset flips, but Shane stays up! Swerve avoids the fist drop to SHOVE Shane out of the ring! Swerve builds speed, but then just hits the Griddy! The fans cheer, STP is upset, and Bravo says he’s got money riding on this. Shane storms into the ring to circle with Swerve. Swerve bobs ‘n’ weaves to avoid the shots, but Shane stops the wrench. Shane blocks the whip, too, but then Swerve BOOTS him!
The fans cheer, Swerve eggs Shane on, and the two reset. They feel things out, Shane fires hands, and wait, Nana is gambling with the Infantry? Shane DECKS Swerve, his odds might’ve just gone up! Shane drags Swerve up on the apron and Bravo wants Tony Schiavone to get in on this? Shane lifts Swerve, Swerve fights free, and he slips under! The Infantry freaks out as Swerve pulls on Shane, but Shane grabs Swerve to SLAM him off the apron! Then he APRON SPLASHES! The fans boo while Swerve falls, and Shane claims it’s HIS house now! The fans boo more while Collision goes picture in picture.
The Infantry mockingly offer Swerve some money, but Shane drags Swerve up to HEADBUTT him! Shane puts Swerve in the ring, tells Nana he’s about to lose more money on this, and then goes into the ring. Shane clamps onto Swerve with a chinlock and he grinds Swerve down. Swerve endures and Nana rallies the fans. Swerve fights up, fires body shots, then he KNEES Shane low! Shane ROCKS Swerve with a left! Then SAIDOS! Swerve staggers over to ropes, Shane storms up on him, and Shane CHOKES Swerve by standing on him! The ref counts, Shane backs off, and Swerve goes to the corner. Shane storms up to Swerve again while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns, Shane has Swerve in a corner to talk trash, then he runs up, only for Swerve to dodge! Swerve then wraps Shane’s arm around ropes, CLUBS away on the shoulder, and runs side to side for a DROPKICK to the arm! The fans fire up and Swerve dropkicks the legs out! Swerve drops a KNEE on the arm, then runs to KNEE Shane down! Cover, TWO! Shane is tougher than that but Swerve stays focused. Nana says it’s over for STP now! Swerve KICKS the bad arm, and the fans cheer for “DEFY! DEFY!” Swerve runs up, Shane shoves him to the corner but Swerve comes back, only for Shane to HEADBUTT!
Shane URENAGES Swerve down, but that was the bad arm! Shane runs, SPLASHES DOWN into an armbar! Swerve has Shane caught and he even HAMMERS Shane’s head! Shane endures, fights back up, and he powers out! Shane KNEES Swerve down! Cover, TWO! Swerve survives and Shane grows frustrated. Swerve goes to a corner, Shane says time to bet it all! Shane goes up the corner, the fans fire up, and Swerve ROCKS Shane first! Swerve throws more hands, then he goes up to get Shane for a SUPER DUPER BACK SUPLEX! The fans are thunderous and Swerve is feeling it! Shane flounders to the apron, but Swerve fires hands!
The fans rally, Swerve runs and returns, but into Shane’s grip! Swerve KICKS and KICKS and KICKS! Shane drapes over the ropes and Swerve BOOTS him! Swerve goes up, takes aim, APRON KILL STOMPS!! The fans are thunderous again and Swerve steps inside. But the Infantry gets all up in Nana’s face! Swerve FLIES out onto the Infantry! And then a HOUSE CALL for Shane!! Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
Swerve finally has his 50th singles win here in AEW, and Nana rakes in the dough! Having green is nice, but will Swerve find himself aimed at gold again?
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing… Timeless Toni Storm.
Seattle cheers as Toni Noir stands on stage. “Mercedes Mone…” The fans boo that name. “I am disappointed in you. Three weeks ago, you shook my hand and said we would have the biggest women’s match of all time. And since then, you have been eating steak, playing on your telephone, and trying to kiss me. And now, you are still in Mexico because you have won yet another title.” The fans boo that, too. “Is that all I am to you? Is that all this is to you? Another trophy for your shelf? Another toy for your collection? Now, I want to say this as nicely as possible. Mercedes, I am not some other mother-effer.
“I am TIMELESS Toni Storm! I am the AEW Women’s World Champion! And if you make one false move, I am going to eat you alive!” The fans cheer that! “I demand your best, Mercedes, because that is what you are. One day, my reign will be over.” The fans don’t like the sound of that, but Toni says there is no one more deserving than Mone. “The day I met you, I knew what you were destined to be. You were the first woman to wrestle at Madison Square Garden, the Tokyo Dome, Wembley Stadium AND Arena Mexico… But I was the last woman to wrestle at the Wodonga Sports & Leisure Center before it got closed down for a cockroach infestation.”
The fans cheer that last part, and Toni says she sincerely believes that Mone is the greatest of all time. Toni is not, nor was she ever meant to be. For she is a “manic, neurotic, erotic, sexually questionable, consistently sweating, bottom heavy, transatlantic whore!” The fans still cheer for her, and Toni says when this belt is upon her bosom, she makes magic happen! So unless Mone plans on pulling a rabbit out of her ass, Toni highly doubts Mone can say the same! At All In, in front of the entire world, and all those little girls watching at home, Mone will look Toni in the eye, and she will realize that Toni only has to beat Mone while Mone will have to KILL Toni!
The fans cheer Toni as the spotlight fades out to black. Will All In: Texas be yet another instant classic in Toni’s already timeless career?
Mixed Six Tag: Holo.grm, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale VS #MXMTV!
Undefeated at 25-0 and now 4 million Pesos richer, the futuristic luchador now conglomerates with the Sussex County Chicken and the Babe with the Power! But will this change in the line up keep things fresh against Mansoor, Mason Madden y Taya Valkyrie? Or will MXM TV serve Hologram his first taste of bitter defeat?
The trios sort out and it is ladies first as Willow circles with Taya. They tie up, Taya waistlocks and shoves, then she soaks up the heat while she struts. Willow kicks Taya in the butt!

Mason drags Hologram up, puts him back in the ring, and Johnny TV taunts Briscoe & Willow. Mason drags Hologram back out so he can CLUB him down. The ref reprimands, Mason drags Hologram back up and SMACKS him off the apron. And then throws him into railing! Taya soaks up the heat while she vogues, and Mason refreshes the ring count. That just lets Mr. & Mrs. TV stomp away on Hologram! They stop as Mason goes back out to fetch Hologram. Willow & Briscoe back the rest of them off while Hologram is in the ring. Mansoor tags in, he whips for Mason to scoop, and they CAT WALK LEG DROP! Cover, TWO!
Mansoor keeps Hologram down with a Camel Clutch, but Hologram endures. Mansoor stomps away on Hologram into the corner, but stops as the ref counts. Mason gets a cheap shot in while Mansoor argues with the ref! Johnny does, too! Mansoor drags Hologram to an ELBOW DROP, then covers, TWO!

New amigos but still undefeated, Hologram is feeling what it’s like to conglomerate! Will nothing stop them from building momentum towards title opportunities?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and brings up the big win for Willow’s team. Kris asks if they’re really doing this. Every single week! Yes, everyone loves Willow. But when is Kris going to get a chance? In the All-Star 8 Woman Tag? Uh, uh, didn’t think so. So if you think she’s going to stand here and talk about how important everyone else is, you’re dead wrong! But then Yuta walks over and says he hates to say he told her so… Kris tells Yuta to shut his grimy little mouth! She knows who he is and what this is! If he thinks she wants any part of this, get out of her face! Yuta tries to talk her down but Kris SHOVES him down! And then Moxley steps in.
Moxley picks up Kris’ phone for her, but tells her to never, ever, let anyone else tell you who you are or what you’re worth. Moxley hands Kris her phone, and Kris is rather shaken. But did Moxley just encourage someone? And will Kris Statlander follow his advice to go out and take what she deserves?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone asks Seattle to please welcome… Don Callis. The fans boo as The Jackal walks out here, accompanied by Josh Alexander & Lance Archer. They join Schiavone in the ring and Callis stops Schiavone already. He has a very special announcement! He would like to introduce to us the greatest wrestler in the history of Japan! Better than Rikidozan, than Inoki, than Muta, than Tanahashi… the NEWEST member of the Don Callis Family, the Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada! The fans boo even more as the Continental Champion makes his way out to the ring. Okada shakes hands with Callis, and Callis interrupts Schiavone again.
Callis says that he and Okada would like to show everyone some very special footage. Roll the tape! The tape is of course the last time we saw these two, and the horrible trap they had set for Kenny Omega. Schiavone says that was one of the most despicable things in wrestling history! Callis says you can almost smell the diverticulitis coming outta Omega’s mouth! Schiavone says how dare Callis laugh at someone coughing up blood! What is wrong with him!? Callis says he is sick and tired of Schiavone coming out here and talking bad about him and Okada and the Callis Family, “like the sleezy feline that you are!”
But Callis and his family are here to talk about Kenny Omega! “Kenny, how does it feel to know that your greatest opponent, Okada, and the man who knows all your weaknesses, Don Callis, have teamed up against you?! I know, Kenny, you’re laying in a hospital bed right now…” The fans tell Callis to STFU but Callis just talks louder. Omega surely has tubes coming outta his guts, with a colostomy bag hanging out the side! Omega won’t even make it to All In! But IF Omega does make it there, and wrestles the greatest wrestler in the history of Japan, then Omega needs to know that he will truly be alone.
Omega destroyed his friendship with the Young Bucks, with Callis, and is alone in this world with not even one friend left! But then out steps Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer as The Chicken tells Callis, “My Lord, would you PLEASE shut the hell up!? You sound stupid, you weird lookin’ bastard! You say Kenny has no friends? Well sheesh, I’ll be damned, I’m his friend! But y’know what? I’m not his only friend.” Because KOTA IBUSHI IS HERE! The fans go nuts seeing the Golden Star return to AEW! Archer rushes them, but Briscoe attacks first! That lets Ibushi strut right up to the Walking Weapon in the ring!
The fans fire up as Ibushi dodges Alexander, then fires off a strike fest! Alexander ducks a kick, Ibushi ducks the rolling elbow, and Ibushi ROUNDHOUSES Alexander down! The fans fire up while Callis freaks out, but now Ibushi and Okada are alone in the ring. The fans go nuts already as Golden Star and Rainmaker stare down. Okada fires a forearm, but Ibushi fires back! Okada UPPERCUTS, but Ibushi fires off a strike fest! SOBAT and ROUNDHOUSE! Okada falls and he scurries out of the ring! Callis is there, and he gets his new moneymaker outta there! Will Ibushi make sure Omega gets a fair shake in Texas?
Collision returns to a brawl!
Apparently, the Workhorsemen got into it with Big Bill & Bryan Keith in the back, and now it has spilled out to ringside! JD Drake & Anthony Henry have the advantage as they use chairs on the Redwood & Bad Apple! Henry sits Keith in a corner of the railing, then runs around the way! But Bill BOOTS him down! The fans are fired up, but then Drake CLUBS Bill! But Keith SMACKS Drake with a chair! Keith shouts for Bill to get ’em! Bill stands Drake up, SMACKS him off steel steps, then Keith SMACKS Drake off steps! And repeat! Keith stomps Henry, SMACKS Drake off steps, and then Bill SMACKS Drake off steps!
Henry shields Drake but that just gets him a CLUBBING forearm! Keith sets chairs up together, Bill SMACKS Henry off steps, and Keith has Bill haul Henry up. Bill gives Henry a SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM onto the chairs!! Henry falls in a heap with all that steel, and Bill wants a mic! Wait, now Christian Cage wants to be out here? The fans are fired up either way as Captain Charisma leads The Patriarchy out here. “Seattle… Sit down and shut your mouths while I conduct my business!” The fans boo instead. Christian says they know it and he knows it. The only good things to ever come outta Washington are Mother Shayna and Nick Wayne! So again, show some damn respect!
The fans boo more, and Christian tells Bill & Keith that Christian likes a good backstage brawl as much as the next guy. But when it spills out to ringside and takes away from his air time, then he has a problem. Especially when he was coming out here to make a huge announcement. But hey, maybe they should stand there and listen with the rest of these “sweat hogs,” because this is a pretty damn good announcement. Now, it is no secret that these past couple months, his son, Nick Wayne, has been wrestling at a godlike pace! The fans cheer for Nick, but Christian tells them to shut their mouths while he’s talking!
But believe him when he tells you, that has everything to do with Christian’s guidance. Yet, there are still those who have the audacity to mistake friction for building toughness. But the proof speaks for itself! Nick stands here as the youngest champion this company has ever seen! So why stop there? Why not keep going? Why not make more history? Time for Christian’s son to walk beside him instead of behind him! Time he and Nick embark on a journey that takes them to the top! That sees them become the first-ever father-and-son AEW World Tag Team Champions! The fans are torn on that, but Nick smiles as Christian pats him on the shoulder.
Bill says, “Sorry, did you say that that is your son? Maybe your adopted son. Because if all the things that I’ve heard about Mama Wayne are true… That kid’s real father could be literally anybody. It could be that guy right there! Or what about that guy right there? Oh, oh, wait a second, dead ringer! Dead ringer! Oh my God, that could be your father right there! There he is!” The fans cheer but Bill says if they don’t like what he is saying, then how about Christian come down to the ring to do this right here. Christian says first of all, there is nothing of the sort happening here in Seattle. The fans boo and he asks if they wanna see it.
Well, here’s a question, Big Bill. Is that you talking or is that the bottle talking? Did he fall off the wagon this weekend? Go on a bit of a bender? Maybe he fried too many braincells because he clearly doesn’t know who he’s talking to. Bill doesn’t call the shots, Christian does! He is the Patriarch and this is his Patriarchy! He IS the Face of TNT now and forever! The fans boo but The Patriarchy steps away. Will Bill & Keith take them down all the same?
AEW shares footage from after Summer Blockbuster.
Anthony Bowens was in a bad mood but Billy Gunn wanted to talk things out. Lexy Nair caught up with them first and Billy has “Brittney Spears” hold on. In Lexy’s defense, that outfit really is classic Brittney. But anyway, Daddy Ass tells Bowens it will be a struggle. Bowens says Billy is supposed to be helping him get better. Does he want Bowens to end up like Max Caster? Billy says he got hit in the face by Lance Archer! Well, that’s not on Bowens. They need to get their act together, because Bowens is the Pride of Pro-Wrestling, he needs to climb the ladder in AEW, and he needs to win. Billy says he knows that. What can Daddy Ass do to help Bowens finally hit some homeruns?
Ricochet is here!
The One & Only still wants to assemble a dream team that can help him achieve his dreams, but he rejected Blake Christian & Lee Johnson, the only guys who actually came to see him about it. Is he thinking of recruiting someone from this next match?
JetSpeed VS The Gates of Agony!
Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey have been plotting their own course to titles, namely the AEW World Tag Team Championships. They need to prove themselves to the Hurt Syndicate, can they do that here in Seattle? Or will Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona slam the gates shut on those flight plans?
The bell rings and Speedball starts against Kaun. The fans rally, Kaun rushes up but Bailey dodges. Bailey headlocks, Kaun powers up and out and he RUNS Bailey over! Bailey kips up, then dodges Kaun and hurdles over. Bailey drops down, DROPKICKS Kaun, but Liona tags in and CLOBBERS Bailey! Ricochet vents about losing out on the 4 million Pesos, he blames Lio Rush, and he crosses off CRU as candidates for his crew. Liona TOSSES Bailey to a corner, fires fast hands, but the ref counts. Liona steps on Bailey, steps off, and then drags Bailey up. Tag to Kaun and the Gates double whip. They DOUBLE HIP TOSS, but Bailey lands through!
Bailey dodges lariats and hot tags Knight! The fans fire up as Knight springboards to FLYING ARM-DRAG Kaun! Liona runs up, Knight dodges, but Liona blocks the arm-drag! Liona YANKS Knight up but Knight DROPKICKS Liona out! The fans fire up with Knight, and he scoops Kaun to SLAM! But Liona grabs Knight by his hair! Knight PELES Liona, then says “TOO FLY!” UFO SPLASH but onto knees! Kaun turns things around, Ricochet says that’s smart. Kaun whips Knight into railing, into the apron, and back into railing! Kaun then brings KNight all the way around to send into the LED barriers!
The fans boo but Ricochet applauds. Bailey aims at Kaun and PLANCHAS, but Liona BLASTS Bailey outta the air! Ricochet likes that even more! He applauds, Liona pats Ricochet on the shoulder, and the Gates go back to the ring while Collision goes picture in picture.
The Gates soak up heat, then Kaun puts Knight in the ring. Liona is there to CLOBBER Knight and cover, TWO! Liona drags Knight into a shoulder claw! Knight endures as Liona leans on him, then he fights up. Knight JAWBREAKERS free, then runs, only for Liona to LARIAT him back down! Liona drags Knight up, puts him in the corner and tags Kaun. The Gates double whip, then double hip toss into the DOUBLE SLAM! Kaun covers, TWO! Knight stays in this but Kaun stomps Knight around. Kaun then drags Knight up to put in a corner for more stomps. Kaun fires fast hands, then more stomps, but stops as the ref counts.
Kaun argues with the ref and that lets Liona get a cheap shot in! Kaun drags Knight up while Bailey protests, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Kaun has Knight up top. Knight fires hands in return but so does Kaun. Knight ROCKS Kaun, goes up, and he FLYING LARIATS! Down goes Kaun but both men are down, and the fans fire up! Kaun and Knight crawl, hot tag to Bailey! Bailey goes up top and he MISSILE DROPKICKS! Kaun tumbles, the fans cheer, and Bailey SOBATS, AX KICKS, and BUZZSAWS! Kaun sputters, Bailey runs, SHOOTING STAR misses as Kaun moves! Kaun stands Bailey up but Bailey wrenches to fire LIGHTNING KICKS! Kaun goes to a corner, Bailey runs up, but Kaun ELBOWS him! Kaun goes up, but Bailey GAMANGIRIS!
Bailey goes up, Liona is after him, but Bailey elbows him away! Kaun SHOVES Bailey but Bailey backflips through! Liona runs in, Bailey dodges, Liona goes up and out with his splash! JetSpeed hit an UPPER ROOM BOMB!! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet says it takes more than that! Kaun sits up, Bailey aims, but Liona CLOBBERS him! Liona trips Knight on the top rope, then fireman’s carries!

The Gates then lift Bailey up, OPEN THE-
NO, Knight saves Bailey! But Kaun ROCKS Knight and Liona HEADBUTTS him! Knight falls back, the Gates drag him up now, and they OPEN THE- DOUBLE SATELLITE DDTS!! Liona runs up, JetSpeed dodge and DOUBLE DROPKICK him out! Ricochet says that’s cheating! But JetSpeed build speed to DOUBLE TOPE CONJILO!! Ricochet has no idea what is happening here! Bailey puts Kaun in the ring, calls to Knight, but Liona YANKS Knight down from the apron! Only for Knight to send him into the steel steps! Kaun SPLASHES Bailey, suplexes, and RUNNING BRAINBUSTER! Fireman’s carry, FALL FROM MOUNT OKU!! Cover, TWO!!
The fans are thunderous and Ricochet is frustrated, but Kaun underhooks! Only for Bailey to backdrop! STANDING MOONSAULT KNEEDROP! And then the TIME ADVENTURE!! Tag to Knight while Bailey hits the GOLDEN TRIANGLE on Liona! Ricochet says this is all cheating! Knight hits the MOTHERSHIP SPLASH!! Cover, JETSPEED WINS!
Winners: JetSpeed, by pinfall
Ricochet is beside himself, but Knight & Bailey have brought down former ROH World Tag Team & ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions! Is this more than enough to earn their shot at Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin? Will Ricochet have to look elsewhere for henchmen?
8 Woman Tag: Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata & TayJay VS Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!
We heard from both sides of this all-star main event, but now it is time to back up those words. Will La Mera Mera, the Queen, the Blackbelt and the Star of the Show prove theirs is the winning combination? Or will the Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, the ROH Gatekeeper, the FOREVER ROH Women’s World Champion (all Athena’s nicknames) lead her team to victory?
The teams stare down, and then Athena throws the first punch! She brawls with Rosa, Thekla attacks Anna and Megan has Tay, leaving Aminata to stare down with Ford. The bell rings, Aminata and Ford start pushing, and then they start throwing forearms! Ford gets the edge, whips, but Aminata reverses. Ford wheelbarrows, victory rolls, but Aminata rolls through. Ford still runs up to DROPKICK Aminata against ropes! Ford fireman’s carries, but Aminata slips free to snapmare and wrap on the headscissors! CHOCOLATE KISSES~! But Megan stops that with a waistlock and SLAM! But TayJay DOUBLE SUPERKICK!
Thekla CLOBBERS Tay and throws her out! The brawl starts up again, and Athena meets Rosa on the apron! They fire forearms, Rosa fires the back suplex, but then Athena fights off one in return. Aminata ROCKS Athena, Ford BLASTS Rosa, and they stare down again. Ford and Aminata each dare the other to go up, so they go up! The others brawl in a cluster, Ford and Aminata are up on the very top! They both SUPER DUPER MOONSAULT! The fans fire up as everyone goes down, and Collision goes picture in picture!
Ford drags Aminata up to POST her! Megan makes her way into the ring, she has Aminata for a BEARHUG, then RAMS her into a corner! And RAMS and RAMS and RAMS again!

Then she tags Thekla, but Anna hot tags Aminata! Thekla fires off on Aminata, snapmares, but Aminata avoids the kick! Another smapare, and now a BASEMENT SUPERKICK! Aminata goes to a corner, Thekla runs up, but Aminata dodges. Thekla goes up, BOOTS Aminata, then reels her in for the HANGING HEADSCISSORS! The fans cheer, the ref counts, and Thekla lets Aminata go. Thekla smiles while she hangs upside-down, then she kneels for a cover, ONE!!
Thekla drags Aminata up, the fans rally, and Thekla winds up. Aminata wrenches to LARIAT! And LARIAT! And snap suplex! Thekla roars and she ROCKS Aminata! Aminata HEADBUTTS Thekla! Aminata falls on the cover, TWO!! Thekla survives and the fans rally up. Hot tags to Tay and Ford! They fire furious forearms, then Tay ROCKS Ford! Tay slips around, ripcords, ROCKS Ford again, and DDTS! The fans fire up and Tay covers, but Megan breaks it! Anna CLUBS Megan, TayJay mugs her, then they double whip. Megan crisscrosses TayJay, then DOUBLE GERMAN SUPLEX them!
The fans are fired up but Tay is back up to BOOT Megan out! Tay and Ford are down, they crawl, hot tags to Rosa and Athena! The fans fire up as these two step up to fire forearms and CHOPS on repeat! Then it is just CHOP for CHOP! Athena fires another forearm, Rosa fires back! Athena laughs that off and fires more shots! Rosa fires those with interest!

The fans boo but RED VELVET slides Athena the title belt! She CLOBBERS Rosa with it!! High stack, cover, Team Athena wins!
Winners: Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford, by pinfall
The Chef says, “You’re welcome.” The ROH Women’s World Television Champion is going to team with the ROH Women’s World Champion for ROH Global Wars: Mexico, was this just an appetizer for how that’s going to go? Will this win help Thekla, Megan & Ford also find their way to some golden opportunities?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, especially as a follow-up to Grand Slam: Mexico while also helping build Global Wars: Mexico. The All-Star 8 Woman was a great main event, but it sure got the short end of the stick when it came to time. I’m not sure if something went long, but it also feels like AEW relies too much on TNT giving them overrun. Red Velvet helping Athena win was a nice touch, given their tag match against Rosa and Persephone. That match happened in reality already but they gotta keep the kayfabe alive. Though, that’s going to be a busy Thursday with Collision being pushed off Saturday, again.
Great promos to hype up the All-Star 8 Man, and that was a great match, too. The Heels winning makes sense there, too, as Kyle needs momentum before he challenges Cole again, and it adds more heat onto FTR. The Outrunners going after FTR was a nice touch, because A) they’re amigos with Bandido and B) they were friends with FTR like Garcia, so now it is The Outrunners’ turn to settle things with Dax & Cash. Bill & Keith have a good brawl with the Workhorsemen, but I’m a little surprised that’s all we got from them before bringing out The Patriarchy. I almost thought Christian Cage was going to name Kip as his tag partner, but I feel like he wants it to be Nick so he can keep Nick close, and possibly leave him hanging at some point.
Great opening match from Moxley with Fox, but of course Moxley wins and then sends a message to Hangman. And it is definitely a case of “Mox Fears Hangman” for him to talk all tough when he knows Hangman isn’t in Seattle yet. Great match from Swerve VS Shane, especially with all the shenanigans going on ringside. Great win for Swerve, and I guess technically Nana, too. Very good promo from Bowens and Billy to show there is some tension between them now. It is mostly Bowens’ frustrations making him lash out, but I wonder if Bowens starts to distance himself from Billy to truly be a solo act now.
Great to see Ibushi back in AEW, and great tease of Ibushi VS Okada. I suspect Briscoe and Ibushi will team up against Alexander & Archer, and that can help lead to Omega’s return from the “devastating” attack to have some final math on the Omega VS Okada dream rematch. And if Ibushi sticks around, that brings in some intrigue on whether or not we get Golden Lovers back together. I could see either story happening, where Golden Lovers go for a Two Man Power Trip kind of run, getting gold together. But I could also see them being friendly rivals, competing over the same title(s), especially with the “Unified Championship” bringing Continental and International Championship “divisions” together.
Good promo from Mone and a great promo from Toni to hype up their match, but we’ve still got time before there’s any real go-home math. But I said it before so I’ll say it again: It’s called “All In,” so whatever belts Mone has by All In, Mone should go ALL IN with her belts against Toni. Now obviously Mone has no reason to, and Heels never want to “put up or shut up,” but if Toni goads her into putting her money where her mouth is, maybe Mone does it out of anger. And honestly, if Toni wins at All In, wouldn’t she then be owed a match for any number of Mone’s titles anyway? AEW makes good use of the rule that pinning a champ earns a title match, so just cut to the chase.
Very fun Mixed Six with Hologram joining Briscoe & Willow as perhaps the newest member of Conglomeration. But at some point, Hologram needs to win a title or his streak means nothing. Good promo from Kris after that match and how she shoved Yuta. Kris being afraid of Moxley at first was a nice touch, since we’ve seen Mox makes no qualms about hitting a woman wrestler (namely Willow) with a cutter. But then Moxley actually adds to Yuta’s recruitment attempts by being nice to Kris. It makes me wonder if Kris becomes a Death Rider, and maybe the Women’s Division becomes the group’s next phase. Honestly, if not for Mone collecting belts and what not, Marina should’ve gotten a title shot herself by now.
And a great tag match of JetSpeed VS Gates of Agony. I guess with nothing else for them, the Gates defaulted back to being Heels. Ricochet was good on commentary, and as I figured, his story of finding faction members is failing because his standards are too high and he as a personality is too sensitive to put grudges aside. CRU was the right choice to me but then he said no thanks cuz of that Pesos match. As for JetSpeed, they will certainly get that tag title match with Hurt Syndicate, but I feel like MJF will be why the Hurt Syndicate retains.
My Score: 8.8/10

In their final showdown, The Ace and The Kokeshi fought like there was no tomorrow! But in the end, Tanahashi comes out on top! He shows his friend respect, and the fans applaud. The Final Road still has many stops left, but who will be next?
Six Man Tag: Hirooki Goto, Boltin Oleg & Shota Umino VS TMDK!
After Dominion, The Fierce Warrior is still IWGP World Heavyweight Champion, and BARS is now NEVER Openweight Champion!

Then they start throwing CHOPS! Oleg DOUBLE CHOPS, runs, but Hartley CROSSBODIES! The fans fire up, Hartley BLASTS Shota off the apron, and he aims from the corner. Hartley runs in, Oleg dodges, and then Oleg comes back! Oleg SPLASHES, then gut wrenches! But Hartley’s too big! Hartley breaks free, fires boxing elbows, and an UPPERCUT! Hartley reels Oleg in, suplexes, but Oleg fights it! They fight for control, and Hartley suplexes Oleg!
The fans fire up and Hartley rises. Hartley runs but Oleg avoids the senton! Oleg drags Hartley up, scoops and SLAMS! The fans fire up as Oleg goes up, up, and VADER BOMBS! Cover, TWO!

Shota stands Hartley up, he and Goto double whip, but Hartley breaks the lariats! Shota sends Hartley into Goto’s FOREARM! Shota ENZIGIRIS! Goto hits URA GTR, and Shota adds a LARIAT!! The fans fire up and Oleg has Hartley up! Fireman’s carry for the KAMIKAZE!! Cover, Hontai wins!
Winners: Hirooki Goto, Boltin Oleg & Shota Umino, by pinfall
The Mighty Don’t Kneel, but they can still fall! Oleg brings down big bad Hartley, can TMDK rise back up before the G1 begins?
As for Hontai, Oleg scored the fall so he gets to speak! Oleg says good evening to Yamagata and the fans cheer. Oleg knows he only just became NEVER Champion, but he promises to work even harder and become an even greater wrestler, so please continue to support him. The fans applaud, and then Oleg asks who wants to speak next. Goto lets Shota go next, and the fans cheer Shota on. Shota thanks the fans for the great energy all the way through the show tonight, then he takes a bow. The fans applaud, and Shota adds that Yamagata is both hot and amazing. This New Japan Soul series is important, but so is the upcoming G1 Climax.
Goto is going to defend the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against ZSJ in Nagoya before the tournament begins, and regardless of who wins that, Shota vows to win the G1 and challenge the champion. Shota tells Goto that he hopes to face him again with the title on the line. The fans applaud and Goto nods. Shota says naturally, the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion will now close us out. The fans applaud again and Goto is handed the mic. The fans cheer Goto on, and he also thanks everyone for coming out tonight. Goto knows it took a long time, but he is proud to finally return to Yamagata as world champion.
The fans cheer, and Goto adds that he wants to make it through his next defense to then take this title into the G1. The Goto Revolution is far from over! Be sure to follow him until the end! The fans cheer that, and Goto says that lastly, he of course wishes to talk about Goto’s G. The fans applaud, and Goto realizes, there’s a G in Yamagata, too. So then, the G in Yamagata and IWGP stand for Goto! The fans cheer and the Fierce Warrior is ready! Will he thwart ZSJ’s efforts in one more rematch? Will he make the G in G1 also stand for Goto?
My Thoughts:
A very good night for NJPW as part of their New Japan Soul series. While I skimmed the other matches, I do like how Sho is wearing a mask like he’s a luchador now and it isn’t obvious it’s just him. The House of Torture wins their matches to keep momentum going, and the other matches were about building towards the G1 Climax qualifiers. Tanahashi VS Honma was good, and I like that the fans cheered Honma. Truth be told, we know Tanahashi is going to win most of these Final Road matches, so that is probably why the fans hope for the opponents to do well. And with the G1 coming up, maybe Tanahashi gets one last good run to try for the finals.
Very good Six Man Tag main event, but it works for Hontai to win. Goto is the top champion, Oleg just became a champion, and NJPW wants Shota to build up given he’s one of the Reiwa Musketeers. Goto VS ZSJ will be a very good match but I feel like Goto’s going to win to bring the title along and add drama to his G1. ZSJ can still have his own great showing in the G1 and maybe makes a case for himself to be the winner again.
My Score: 8.8/10
