The Prodigy no longer cares about anyone but herself, and about anything but winning. Will she continue to do whatever she wants on the Road to Stand & Deliver? Or will Tatum avenge Lyra Valkyria?
Tatum rushes down the ramp for her entrance, only for Roxie to DIVE onto her first! Roxie dribbles Tatum, whips, but Tatum reverses. Roxie stops herself, SMACKS Tatum off the apron, then puts Tatum in. The fans chant “Be! Aggressive! Be, be, aggressive!” while the bell rings.

Tatum puts Roxie back in, runs up, but slides under the lariat to DROPKICK! The fans fire up, Tatum runs up, but Roxie drop toeholds her into ropes! Roxie then wrenches, clinches, and ARMBAR DDTS! The fans are torn but Roxie puts the bad arm in ropes. Roxie pulls and thrashes the arm, but lets off as the ref counts. Tatum goes to a corner, Roxie storms up and she whips corner to corner.

Winner: Roxanne Perez, by submission
Roxie is still a prodigy, because she’s excelling at being ruthless! She then demands a mic, and she stands over Tatum as she says, “It’s been one week, and I’m not waiting any longer! Ava, make the decision you know you have to make. Get out here and give me the title that I deserve, that I never lost.” Roxie drops the mic and says she’s waiting. But wait, is that Lyra Valkyria?! Even with one good arm, the Morrigan is here and she fires off on Roxie! The fans fire up as Lyra fires forearms and knees! Tatum says wait, but Roxie shoves Lyra into Tatum! Then Roxie DECKS Lyra! The fans boo as Roxie rips the sling away to CLUB the arm! CROSSFACE!!!
The fans boo, refs rush out, but Roxie says that title is hers! Roxie lets Lyra go, holds up the belt, is she going to get it back one way or another?
The Meta Four talks backstage.
Jakara Jackson & Oro Mensah are hyping up Noam Dar, but Lash Legend looks to be all flustered. Dar says last week, Trick was smooth on the mic, but he attacked Meta Four from behind! Tonight, Supernova 11 is gonna be too smooth for the One Trick Pony. Dar cannot wait to get his hands on Trick. Lash blurts out that after that kiss last week, she can’t wait to get her hands on him, either. WHAT?! WHOA~! No, no, she means, uh… To beat him up! That’s it! But then The Alpha Academy steps in? Dar freaks out and calls for security given the last go-around with them!
Maxxine says relax, their business doesn’t concern them. Otis says to Lash that after last week, he is a little concerned. It shouldn’t. Well, Otis is a bit jelly of Trick Willy. No, no, Lash is not doing this again. She leads the way out. Maxxine says focus, guys. Tozawa says the locker room is this way. The Academy heads off, what is this newest return to NXT all about?
Lyra is in the trainer’s room.
The trainer working with her wants to check her but she insists she’s fine. Ava Raine walks in and asks, but Lyra again says she’s fine. Well, she is cleared as tolerated. Lyra says make the match. What match? You know the match. Lyra VS Roxie, Stand & Deliver, for the Women’s Championship. Well, if that’s what Lyra wants, then it is official. Lyra storms off, but is she only playing into Roxie’s hands?
Josh Briggs storms in outta nowhere!
He interrupts commentary because he has something to say! “Oba Femi is gonna come out here and talk about how he damn near put Brooks Jensen through the ring last week. Look, Brooks is a tough kid, he’s gonna bounce back, but uh… What pissed me off was Oba did it with a smile on his face the entire time. He wasn’t out here to hunt and destroy, he was out here to wound! So Oba, what don’t you come on out here and try to put me through the ring?” The Ruler makes his entrance, and he chuckles as he tells Josh, “I’m surprised you didn’t enjoy my title defense from last week.
“But you do have a point, though. I relish the idea of testing a man’s limits. I relish the idea of pushing a man to the edge. Because when I step through those rings, when I step through the ropes, there’s no place for emotion. The only thing that matters is results! And my results speak volumes.” He holds up the North American Championship and the fans applaud. Oba then steps up to Briggs and says Briggs is a man of courage, we will give him that. Briggs says look at Oba. He walks around here with so much confidence. Oba walks around thinking he’s the badass man here. But just like everyone else, Oba ends up meeting someone just a little bit tougher.
So allow Briggs to reintroduce himself: He is Josh Briggs, he is the Man of Mayhem, and this is where he throws hands! So Oba, how about we do this: put the North American title on the line, and let’s see who falls off the edge first. Oba tells Briggs, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.” But wait! DIJAK makes his way out here! Fans boo but Hard Justice tells everyone to wait a second as he joins them in the ring. Dijak takes his sunglasses off to look the title over. Then he says, “Oba Femi. The Man of Destiny. Must not be the Man of Memory, though, because last week I told you when you’re down playing around, I’ll be the man waiting for you.
“So champ, here I am.” So either Oba forgot or is ducking Dijak. Briggs speaks up, and says if Dijak wants to play Shaft, go play it somewhere else. This is between Briggs and Oba. Dijak asks if Briggs just called him Wannabe Shaft. Bingo! Like, Samuel L. Jackson? Yeah, the very one. Uh, Briggs, Dijak isn’t sure if you can tell, but Dijak’s White. The fans laugh at that, but Dijak says this isn’t even about him and Briggs, so Briggs can go on ‘n’ git lost, this is about Dijak and Oba. Oba says no no, this isn’t about either of you two. When it comes to this title, there is Oba, and then everyone else. Oba goes to leave, Dijak turns him around, but Briggs shoves Dijak into Oba!
Dijak runs up on Briggs but Oba DECKS him first! Oba then dodges Briggs to clothesline him out of the ring! But Briggs lands on his feet! Dijak runs back up, Oba gets around to back suplex, but Dijak lands on his feet! Refs rush out to keep this from getting any wilder! Is it going to be a big meaty match for the North American Championship at Stand & Deliver?
Shawn Spears is watching.
The Chair Man likes what he sees. “There it is in its purest form. Pride always comes before the fall. The downfall of a man and his ego. Tch, tch, tch. It’s such a shame.” Spears leaves, and Gacy pokes out his head! “Or is it?” From one strange man to another, is the Perfect 10 about to have an encounter with the broken one?
NXT Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Match Qualifier: Nathan Frazer & Axiom VS The No Quarter Catch Crew!
The Jersey Island Rocket is all about Hard-Hitting Home Truths while the Undeniable Truth is all about the numbers. And the truth is, there’s a dozen possibilities for this match-up, will Frazer & Axiom be ready for whatever combination is thrown at them? Or will there be too many variables for them to keep up with?

Speed kills, and it was more than the NQCC’s skills could handle! They join the LWO in the Triple Threat, and there’s one spot left! Who joins this already fast ‘n’ furious battle to Stand & Deliver?
NXT Anonymous is watching.
The prying eyes watch as Robert Stone argues with Von Wagner. Stone says he doesn’t get it, and Von asks what does Stone mean. Stone asks what the hell was all that, where Von carried him outta the arena like he was a child! Von wants Stone to slow down. He did what Stone wanted him to do! Stone says he did that for his family, his kids, and sure, he didn’t win, but at least he went down like a man. Von carried him away like his little baby! Von didn’t mean to upset him, but what was he supposed to do? Let King drop Stone on his neck again and again? Von isn’t trying to embarrass Stone, but he can make this right.
Stone says he doesn’t care what Von does! Do whatever you want! Stone storms off, but is there anything Von can do to make this right?
Backstage interview with Baron Corbin & Bron Breakker.
Kelly Kincaid is with the Wolf Dogs and says we know two of the teams in the Triple Threat #1 contenders match, and Corbin says that we do. Tonight, we will find out the third. Will it be The OC? Or will it be Hank ‘n’ Tank? He’s ready for that, is Bron ready for that? Bron says Corbin kinda cut Kelly off, though. Oh, don’t start with him, they just got here. Bron sighs and says Corbin is just grumpy that he had to pay for dinner last night. Time out, time out. If someone were to say, “Hey, let’s go to dinner, I got this,” doesn’t that mean they’re paying? Instead of getting up and going to the bathroom when the check comes.
Bron says when a dog’s gotta go, he goes. Don’t say it like that. But then in walks the Academy! Otis says “Oh yeah~, my dove, Corbs has a point.” See? Corbin likes Otis. But then Otis asks why they weren’t included in this whole tag team eliminator thing. Never mind, Corbin no longer likes Otis. Bron says that wasn’t up to them, but Tozawa says, “Master Gable sent us to represent The Alpha Academy. A thank yew~!” Corbin says, A TOO LATE~! Maxxine says they weren’t looking for a handout. They will earn their spot. So how about next week, if “Otise” and Tozawa beat the champs, they get in on the tag title match.
Bron & Corbin talk it over, and Corbin says he gets why The Academy’s back. Just like the OC, they’re creating their own opportunities. Bron accepts, so they have the match. But now they’ve gotta pay for it. Tozawa says next week, they will do whatever it takes to Stand & Deliver. Otis promises the Wolf Dogs “pure carnage,” and it’ll be fun. Bron says it won’t be fun. Tozawa & Otis are incredible athletes, but next week, the results will be the same: Spear, End of Days, it is over. Just like all your hopes and dreams of holding these titles. The Wolf Dogs head out, will they send Otis & Tozawa packing back to Raw?
Sol Ruca VS Brinley Reece w/ Malik Blade & Edris Enofe!
The Soul Surfer is back in action and looking to ride that wave to the top! But will it be so easy to get back in the swing of things? Or will she learn a lot from #BrinEnergy?
NXT returns and Brin makes her entrance, Malik & Edris by her side. They even hype her up as she does push-ups. The bell rings and the two circle.

Brin still endures, fights back up, and the fans rally. Sol ripcords but Brin rolls her up! TWO, and Sol SUPERKICKS! Brin comes back to LARIAT! The fans rally, Brin LARIATS again and again, then scoops to SLAM! Brin runs to handspring and LARIAT! Brin pumps up then fireman’s carries!
Sol fights free, goes to a corner, but Brin runs in. Sol stops the monkey flip to put Brin up top and CHOP! Sol then wrenches to ICONOCLASM! Brin writhes and flounders away and the fans fire up. Sol runs to rally with big shoulder tackles! Then a BACKBREAKER, mule kick, and BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! The fans fire up, Brin stands, but into Sol’s scoop! Brin slips free, shoves Sol to a corner, then runs in, Sol POSTS Brin, then runs up, SOL SNATCHER!! Cover, Sol wins!
Winner: Sol Ruca, by pinfall
Malik & Edris are bummed that Brin goes down, but Sol is back on track! Will she be riding that wave- BLAIR ATTACKS!! The fans boo as Blair KAMI-GOYES Sol down! The Ichiban Gaijin gets payback on Sol’s payback, what will it take for these two to settle the score?
Gigi Dolin talks with Wren Sinclair backstage.
They both can’t believe what happened last week. They’ve seen some things, but nothing quite like that. Well, for starters, Arianna Grace hit her down there! Like, ow! Second, Gigi wasn’t afraid to get Grace back, but of course Gigi’s luck, the ref sees it when she does it. Grace walks in and says yes, he did. She loves the oh so elegant phrase, “The referee’s decision is final.” See, Gigi, your actions were intentional. Hers were accidental. Oh, sure. But now, Grace must bear the responsibility of bringing out the “true lady” deep within Gigi! It won’t be easy, but it will be ten times worth the reward!
Gigi tells Grace that she cheated. Giorgina, not now! There’s so much work to be done! Grace gets a little box and brings outs a gift. It is a sash that reads, “Ms. NXT in Training.” From here on, Gigi shall wear this! Just look at her! Seriously…? Okay, now smile, they are gonna get the before photo. Yes, good, good. Gigi sighs, just what is Grace going to put her through for this makeover?
Ridge Holland speaks.
It was via his Instagram that the Yorkshire Grit posted a video message. “It’s pretty obvious that this effort to improve myself and effort to redeem myself here in NXT is not going the way that I’d hoped. And the result against Shawn Spears last week proves that. I need to be honest with myself. So… I’m just gonna do what everyone wants me to do.” Ridge sighs, but just what is it he’s going to do?
The D’Angelo Family is here!
Tony D’Angelo leads the way for Channing Lorenzo, Adriana Rizzo & Luca Crusifino as he goes to the ring. The Don is handed a mic, and he says two weeks from this Saturday will be the biggest Stand & Deliver of all time. And he will get his opportunity at the NXT Championship. “Now as The Don, timing is an ultimate premium. And right now, The D’Angelo Family is in a booming period of strength and aggressive expansion.” Tony brought in Luca because in that big brain of his, he has a law degree, and a sociology degree from Duquesne University. The fans applaud that. Now joining along Rizzo & Stacks is a man who will bring wisdom to match the muscle.
Ilja Dragunov knows that wisdom equals power. And The Don has immense power. And with that comes responsibility that trickles all the way down the rest of the family. So please put it together for the Consigliere, Luca Crusifino. The fans applaud, and Luca thanks The Don. It is Luca’s honor and he pledges his loyalty to The D’Angelo Family. Now that that’s over with, Tony addresses Ilja. “Mad Dragon. Unbeatable, unbreakable champion.” Tony has respect for Ilja, and for Ilja’s mother moving them out of Russia for a better life. That takes guts. Tony has even more respect for what Ilja is doing for his family.
But these past couple of weeks, Tony has shown Ilja and everybody that Tony D is the man who will break the unbreakable! So at Stand & Deliver- Ilja interrupts! He is on the tron and says he came to the restaurant for a conversation, and Tony goes and leaves him alone on a bridge with nothing but his own thoughts. Tony can feel the title within his grasp. He can smell it, taste it, sense it, but this title is one power beyond Tony’s reach. And now that Ilja understands how this is going to go until Stand & Deliver, Ilja wants Tony- No, no, no, Ilja, you got it all wrong. You have no idea what Tony can do. Ilja has no control!
See, there is so much space and opportunity between now and Philly on April 6th. In fact, Tony spoke with Ava, and now Ilja has a match with The Underboss. Stacks likes that, and Tony says he’ll see Ilja at Stand & Deliver. The real question is, what shape will Ilja be in when he gets there? That decision is completely up to Ilja, but Tony promises him, one wrong move and Ilja is gonna wish he never messed with Tony D! Stand & Deliver will be a burial! See you next week, kid. The Don silences the disruption, but is he only feeding Stacks to the Mad Dragon’s monstrous appetite?
Karmen Petrovic and Lola Vice have at it via TikTok.
The real-life Beatrix Kiddo says “Your hands can’t hit what your eyes can’t see. Who wants to kick it with me?” But then Lola snaps back with the text, “lmao your ninja turtle karate skills are hilarious,” and the audio of, “Aye, that’s so cute. Your kicks are basura!” Then she shows off firing off on a heavy bag. When and where will these two finally throw down and back up the talk?
Thea Hair finds Riley Osborne backstage.
She says hey, and knows he’s preparing for the Heritage Cup match, but she just wanted to apologize. Riley says she doesn’t need to but Thea says no, she has to say this. She wasn’t herself on their date, or herself the last couple of months. She is just trying to figure out who Thea is, was, wants to be, who knows. Growing up is hard. Yeah, you don’t need to tell Riley, he gets it. But Thea just hopes they can still be friends. That goes without saying! He’s just happy the real Thea is back. They high-five and Riley heads out. Then Duke & Andre Chase step in. They commend Thea for that, but then Riley calls to them. Aren’t they coming? Oh, right!
Chase U follows Riley through gorilla to be his corner team. Will this match be made a little easier after seeing Dempsey & Myles take a hard loss to Axiom & Frazer? Or will whoever steps in for the NQCC still have enough juice to keep the Cup?
NXT Heritage Cup Championship Catch Clause: ??? VS Riley Osborne w/ Chase U!
NXT returns as the No Quarter Catch Crew returns. And again, given Dempsey already battled earlier tonight, it is Drew Gulak stepping up to defend the Cup. The bell rings to start round one, and the two tie right up. They go around, Gulak wrenches and wristlocks, but Riley rolls, handsprings, wrenches and WRINGS Gulak! Gulak gets up and Riley grins as the two go again. Gulak wrenches, wristlocks, but Riley rolls, spins, wrenches and wrangles Gulak. The fans cheer but Gulak fights up. Gulak slips through to wrench, then he spins Riley to wrangle him. Riley kips up, goes up and over, then runs, to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!
Gulak runs up but Riley arm-drags him down! Riley has the cording hold but Gulak fights to his feet. Riley wrenches, cording holds, but Gulak powers Riley to ropes. Gulak whips, Riley blocks hip toss but then so does Gulak! Gulak cording holds but Riley goes to hip toss. Gulak throws Riley down and still has the cording hold. Riley fights up, slips up and around but is still stuck in the cording hold. So Riley backflips free! They knuckle lock, go shoulder to shoulder, then Riley MONKEY FLIPS! Riley rolls back, Gulak leg guards to MONKEY FLIP in return! They roll again, Riley goes up and flips to arm-drag!
We’re at one minute as Riley ROCKS Gulak to a corner. Riley UPPERCUTS, then follows Gulak to another corner, Gulak ROCKS Riley, then CHOPS him! Gulak whips Riley to a corner, but runs into an elbow! Riley uses ropes to get up for a KNEE! Then Riley goes way up, SHOOTING STAR! Cover, Riley scores!
Gulak: 0; Riley: 1
And the crucial first fall goes to the challenger! NQCC tells Gulak to focus, Chase U tells Riley to do this one round at a time. The second round begins and the two run up, only for Gulak to bail out! The fans boo but Duke asks where Gulak thinks he’s going. Riley then FOSBURY FLOPS out onto Gulak!

Cover, TWO! Gulak stays in this but Riley stays on him. Riley whips, Gulak reverses but Riley goes up and FLYING SUNSETS! TWO and Gulak stacks! TWO!
Both men get up to their feet, Riley whips but Gulak reverses. Gulak drops, then runs crisscross. Riley drops, hurdles but into a sunset! Gulak scores!!
Gulak: 1; Riley: 1
It’s all tied up, and then Gulak DECKS Riley for the hell of it! The fans boo, Chase U wants after NQCC and the ref gets in between them all! Gulak gets away with one but now it’s all about the final fall! We see if Riley can rebound after the break.
NXT returns again and round three is not only under way, but we’re under one minute left! Riley endures Gulak’s neckbreaker stretch, and the fans rally up. Riley pries at the grip, spins Gulak around but Gulak back suplexes! Riley lands out, waistlocks, but Gulak bucks the O’Conner! Only to turn around into an ENZIGIRI! Gulak falls, Riley hurries, but we have 20 seconds! SENTON onto knees! Gulak gets the dragon sleeper, and the GuLOCK! Under ten seconds, Riley just has to endure! Saved by the bell!
Gulak: 1; Riley: 1
Wait, what’re Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx doing here? They don’t even like Chase U! Are they just here to be trolls? The ref gets Gulak to let go, and Mr. Chase helps Riley to the corner. Riley refreshes while NQCC tell Gulak to keep it up. The fourth round begins, Gulak runs up but Riley gets around. Gulak switches, O’Conners, then has the GU- NO, Riley rolls to a cover! TWO!!

Gulak snarls, winds up, and runs in, but Riley forearms first! Riley turns things around, puts Gulak up top, and the fans are behind him as he climbs! Jacy mockingly cheers as Riley fires forearm after forearm. But Gulak throws body shots! Thea wants after Jacy but Duke holds her back! We’re under one minute, Jacy runs into the ring!
Thea wants after Jacy, the ref stops them both, but this makes him miss JAZMYN tripping Riley! Superplex becomes crossbody!! Cover, Gulak wins!!
Winner: Drew Gulak, by pinfall (still NXT Heritage Cup Champion)
The NQCC get an assist from the toxic mean girls, but they’ll take it! Will Thea rip Jacy & Jazmyn apart for being such massive pains in the ass?
Fallon Henley finds Brooks Jensen on his way out.
She calls to him but he doesn’t hear her. Or maybe ignores her? She pulls at his arm and he asks what she wants. She just wants to make sure he’s okay. Where is he going? Jensen says he is done. He is sick of everything here. She says not to be like that, but he says really? Don’t be like that? If anything, she should forget about him! Things are going great for her, and great for Briggs, but life for Jensen…! He doesn’t know what he wants, but it sure as hell ain’t here. Jensen storms off, and now Kelani Jordan storms in! She wants to know where Kiana James & Izzi Dame are! They will regret ever putting their hands on her, she knows they’re the ones who attacked last week!
Fallon has Kelani slow down. There is two of them and one of her, and how’d that go last time? Good point. Kelani says it was good Fallon had Thea’s back. But what goes around comes around. Fallon asks how she can help, and the two head inside. Will the Cowgirl and the Gym Princess make Kiana & Izzi pay for what they did, with interest?
Ava Raine finishes a phone call.
She confirms, next week is Wolf Dogs VS Alpha Academy with the Stand & Deliver tag title match in the balance. Thea can be heard saying she is so upset right now, then she and Duke step in. Thea says Jacy & Jazmyn literally cost Riley that match, those two little…! Ava agrees, that was wrong. Jazmyn is gonna have her first match next week because of it. Duke says that sounds more like a reward. Ava says it’ll be against Thea. Oh sweet! Thank you, thank you! Thea hurries off, ready to rip into Jazmyn! Duke also thanks Ava, but then Ava says she actually wants to talk. She’s had her eye on him, and a few others.
Ava has decided that Duke is going to be in action next week. And if he is successful, he might end up in the North American Championship picture come Stand & Deliver. Hmm, the MVP of Chase U, at SND. “Sounds good to me.” Ava says good, and Duke heads out. Just what is the NXT General Manager cooking?

Backstage interview with Trick Williams.
Kelly is with Trick to say he made a huge return two weeks ago, and had a viral moment just last week. He’s on fire! Trick says oh, you saw that? Let’s talk about it. Well, does he have any other thoughts about his match at Vengeance Day, when his best friend turned on him? Trick says he’s traveling light these days. He’s making his own decisions, but that’s how he wants it. Tonight, he’s got Noam Dar. Dar’s a bad boy, but he ain’t going far. He can have the whole Meta Four gang, that’s cool. But Trick’ll be sticking, moving and look good while he does it. You feel him? Kelly says yes, but she does note that Carmelo Hayes is somewhere in the building.
Trick knows. And he tells Melo that he’s glad Melo’s here. If Melo shows his face, Trick will whoop dat ass. That’s all it is, and that’s all it’s gonna be. Trick hears the Meta Four theme starting, so he gets going. Will he prove to Supernova 11 that he isn’t a one trick pony but THE Trick?
NXT Media catches up with Roxanne Perez.
They ask her what her thoughts are on the women’s title match for Stand & Deliver. Roxie says if Lyra isn’t gonna do the “right thing” and just hand her the title, then Roxie will gladly rip it out of her hands. Now get outta her face. Roxie leaves for the night, but will she own the night in Philadelphia?
Kiana James & Izzi Dame come across Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx.
They all say hey, and Kiana says that was the energy they like to see out there. Jazmyn’s really getting the hang of this. Thanks. Izzi asks if they saw Thea’s face last week. “I thought we were friends~!” HAH! And after everything Jacy did for her! She took the toddler under her wing, made her into the “grown ass woman” she always wanted to be, and this is how she repays Jacy? Kiana knew there was still some toxicity in her. But Thea is a lost cause. Jacy put in the charity work, and what’d it turn into? Babysitting. Jazmyn says next week, she takes care of that cringeworthy brat. Just like Kiana & Izzi did to Kelani last week.
Jacy & Jazmyn head out, and Izzi laughs at Fallon trying to save the day and still taking the loss. Fallon is always trying to- ATTACK! The brawl is on and the refs rush in! Fallon & Kelani want their revenge, when and where will they get it?
Trick Williams VS Noam Dar w/ The Meta Four!
Trick is ready to finally settle things with HIM, but he has to get through the spotlight seeking Scottish Supernova first. Will Trick turn it up to 11 when he Whoops Dat Dar?
The bell rings and the two circle. The fans rally, Trick dodges Dar to then scoop and SLAM! Then scoop and SLAM again! Dar staggers up into a third scoop and SLAM! The fans fire up and Trick brings Dar up again. Trick headlocks, Dar endures the grind and pops out the back. Dar headlocks, Trick powers out and they RAM shoulders. Both men talk trash and fire up, but Dar kicks, KICKS and runs, into the EDDY GORDO, but blocks it! Dar ANKLE LOCKS, but Trick rolls to throw Dar away! Dar comes back, waistlocks, but Trick switches. Dar fights the lift, throws elbows, then drops down to kick from below!

Lash is flustered but Trick drags Dar up. Trick reels Dar in but Dar wrenches out to kick and BACKHAND! Dar then jumps on for a GUILLOTINE! Trick stays on his feet as Dar pulls on the hold! Trick powers up and RAMS Dar into buckles! Dar lets go, but then dodges the haymaker. Trick bobs ‘n’ weaves to avoid Dar’s hands, then JABS! JABS! And UPPERCUTS! The fans fire up and Trick stands Dar back up. Trick whips, Dar goes up and around to slide under!
Dar runs back in but Trick ROCKS him! Trick goes up, but Dar TRIPS him up! Trick flounders, Lash is concerned but Jakara snaps her out of it. Dar KICKS and KICKS and feints to sweep the legs! Dar runs side to side to HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Dar grows frustrated, as does the Meta Four. But wait, we get a shot of Melo’s room. His guards say it’s time, is Melo gonna make his way out here? Dar kicks Trick around, brings him up, and wrenches an arm. Trick throws body shots, but Dar knees low! Dar flexes, the fans boo, but Dar whips. Trick blocks the whip and shakes his head! Trick whips Dar, Dar goes up and under agian!
Dar keeps moving, but into a POP-UP HAYMAKER! The fans fire up with Trick, but Dar scrambles out of the ring! Trick stays fired up and NXT goes picture in picture.

Oro & Jakara coach Dar up, but Trick fires up with the fans! Both men stand, and Trick ROCKS Dar! Dar ROCKS Trick! Trick UPPERCUTS Dar! Dar rebounds to ROCK Trick! Trick and Dar go back and forth, but then Dark ducks the STEP PUNCH! Trick wobbles, Dar runs, but into the LEAPING LARIAT! The fans fire up and Trick roars!

Winner: Trick Williams, by pinfall
The fans are thunderous for the win, and Lash feels like she just backed the wrong horse! But then Trick gets the mic and says everyone needs to pay attention. He has something to get off his chest. “HAYES! This is personal! We don’t gotta wait ’til Stand & Deliver. Bring your punk ass out here right now!” The fans like the sound of that! Trick watches the ramp, and we see Melo’s security force walk out here. The fans chant “Melo, You Missed!” But where is Melo? Wait, the guards are flanking the ring! And NOW Melo makes his entrance! Trick is on edge as he watches all four thugs. Wait, the man in the hooded jacket isn’t Melo! Melo’s in disguise as one of his guards!!
Melo jumps in to CLOBBER Trick from behind!! The fans boo as Melo tricks Trick, then calls in his goons! They all mug Trick, and Melo says this is what happens! You think you can double cross him!? Melo made Trick!! Melo hammers away on Trick while the fans boo! Trick sits back up, Melo waves goodbye. RUNNING KNEE!! Melo vows that at Stand & Deliver, he takes Trick out! Will Trick learn that there’s nothing he can do to stop… HIM?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for NXT as we are getting ever closer to WrestleMania Weekend. Great opening match from Roxie VS Tatum, which Roxie of course wins, but I like that this was Lyra’s return moment. Roxie still beats her up because of the hurt arm, but this officially established Lyra VS Roxie for the title. I almost feel like there should be an extra stipulation, but I suppose them having it out in a fair fight is enough to prove who is the rightful champion. Good promo from Gigi, Wren and Grace to get going on the beauty pageant makeover, can’t wait to see where that goes. And good return match for Sol that she of course won, but then of course Blair had to attack her. Now that is a match that could also use a stipulation, like Falls Count Anywhere.
Tonight’s episode also did great work in connecting stories, too. Good stuff with Meta Four’s promo including Alpha Academy to call back to their feud, followed by Alpha Academy challenging Wolf Dogs in hopes of going to Stand & Deliver. Pretty sure Wolf Dogs win, the tag title match at Stand & Deliver isn’t turning into a Triple Threat the same time a Triple Threat determines a contender. And speaking of, we got some great qualifier matches tonight, especially out of Axiom & Frazer VS NQCC. A little surprised Dempsey was getting in on the tag match but I suppose that did keep him from being in the Heritage Cup match. But great win for Axiom & Frazer all the same.
The second qualifier of Good Brothers VS Hank ‘n’ Tank was a really good slug fest, but of course Good Brothers win. I’m pretty sure they’re the ones winning the Triple Threat to give Wolf Dogs a great match, and maybe even win the titles to add to the Good Brothers’ list of achievements. As I’ve said before, Bron Breakker is “signed” to SmackDown, something’s gotta send him off from NXT. Then going back to NQCC, really good Heritage Cup match from Gulak and Riley, and of course cheating helps Gulak win. I just didn’t anticipate Jacy & Jazmyn being why. That does help get things going in their story with Thea, though.
And good stuff from Fallon helping Kelani go after Kiana & Izzi. I don’t know who would join Team Thea but I feel like we could get a big 8 Woman Tag. Jacy, Jazmyn, Izzi & Kiana already feel one moment away from becoming a new faction, might as well make it official through a match. Though at the same time, such a set-up would of course go the Faces’ way with the fourth person being a great return from injury. Which sadly, there have been a lot of those in the Women’s Division on both NXT and RawDown. Nikkita Lyons is out again, and it is still a problem in her legs. Seems the aftermath of that one strength coach is still going to be felt for a long time.
That aside, good promo from The D’Angelo Family with Dragunov, but I am rather surprised that Tony got the better of Dragunov here, too. After Tony ditched Dragunov, Dragunov should’ve had the last word, but in a rather kids-on-the-playground “nuh uh!” moment, Tony turns things around on Dragunov again and essentially stands tall. Pretty sure Dragunov destroys Stacks, though, so that’ll be Dragunov getting his momentum back. Really good promo segments towards the North American Championship, and it is clear that Oba, Dijak and Briggs are gonna fight for the title, making for another Triple Threat. Though, who knows, Ava made it seem like there could be at least a couple more.
Gacy seems to have moved on to Spears, or vice-versa, that’ll be some good stuff. Ridge also had a good Instagram promo, maybe he’ll start raging and get his spot in this NXT big meaty man match. Jensen meanwhile seems to be taking a sabbatical, at least in character, given all his frustrations. Maybe something happens with Briggs where Jensen feels the need to come back, but who knows. And of course, awesome stuff from Trick tonight, from that match with Dar and all the interacting with Lash, to Melo getting one over on Trick. Trick VS Melo could easily be the main event even with it being non-title, but you can bet it’ll be one, if not the best pure match on the Stand & Deliver card.
My Score: 8.9/10

Swerve Strickland is here!
UNO Lakefront Arena is whose house? SWERVE’S HOUSE! And while he helped Kenny Omega & The Opps run off The Death Riders on Wednesday, The Realest is here to keep that edge of his sharp. Swerve grabs a mic, but before he can say anything, The Young Bucks make their way out here! Nicholas Jackson has the mic, and he says, “First of all, shut the F up! And show some respect for your EVPs, your Founding Fathers!” Matthew apologizes for Nick being a hothead, but he also “apologizes” to Swerve for interrupting “whatever the hell this was going to be. But I don’t think these people here wanted to listen to what you have to say anyway.”
The fans boo because that’s not true. But Matt says he knows Swerve is scheduled for a match later tonight, and well, The Bucks were in the back, and they’ve pulled a few strings. In fact, they bumped him up a bit! In fact, Swerve’s match is going to happen right here and now! Let’s get the ref out here, hopefully Swerve can move around in those sweet leather pants! Nana is upset but Swerve figured this would happen. Nick introduces Swerve’s opponent, Blake Christian! The Vanilla Babyface thanks The EVPs for this, and then he and “Big Shotty” Lee Johnson go to the ring. Will Swerve be able to win even without time to prepare?
Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!

Blake bumps Swerve off buckles, stomps away, then digs his boot in. The ref counts, Blake lets off and gives a thumbs up to The Bucks. Blake whips, Swerve reverses, but Blake goes up and around to DROPKICK! The Bucks like this as Blake SLAPS Swerve. Blake soaks up the heat before he “licks the ice cream cone.”

Blake fires forearms but the fans rally for “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Blake wrenches, but Swerve CLAWS Blake’s face!
Swerve THROWS Blake into the railing and the fans fire up! Swerve drags Blake up, fireman’s carries, but Blake slips free to POST Swerve! The ring count climbs, Blake bumps Swerve off steel steps, then puts him in the ring. Blake then has Swerve on the apron, but Swerve shoves him back! Blake ENZIGIRS, then SPEAR- NO! Swerve blocks the spear to HOTSHOT NECKBREAKER! Blake sputters, Swerve goes up the corner, FALLING UPPERCUT! The fans fire up as Swerve hits the Griddy! Swerve then KICKS Blake! Swerve tells Lee to watch himself, then he goes back to Blake. Blake BOOTS Swerve, runs up, but Swerve hip tosses!

Blake takes another taste, then he 450- NO, he has to bail out! HOUSE CALL outta nowhere! The fans fire up and Swerve hooks Blake up, BIG PRESSURE!! Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
The Bucks try to mess with Swerve but The Most Dangerous Man isn’t caught off guard so easily. Swerve dares The Bucks to come get some, but then Lee attacks! Lee stomps away, whips, but Swerve reverses! SOMERSAULT FLATLINER! The fans fire up again, but now The Bucks go after Swerve! They knock Swerve down, stomp him around, and the fans boo again. The Bucks sit Swerve up, for an E V P TRIGGER!! Matt mocks the chant and Nick does a horrible Griddy. But they get Swerve up, only for Nana to grab at Nick! Nick kicks Nana away, but here comes Kenny Omega! The fans fire up as the good EVP rushes the ring!
But The Bucks mug Omega 2v1! The fans boo but The Bucks soak that heat up. They kick Omega low, double whip, but Omega ducks the double lariat to send Nick into Matt! Then SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX for Nick! Nick staggers back up, into another SNAP DRAGON! Omega fires up and the fans are with him! Omega aims at Nick, BANG! But Matt drags Nick to safety! The Bucks retreat, but BREAKING NEWS from Tony Khan! Given this and previous confrontations, Dynamite will have a truly all star 8 Man Tag! Kenny Omega will be joined by Mark Briscoe, Kevin Knight & “Speedball” Mike Bailey to face The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada & Ricochet!
As for the present, Omega and Swerve stand tall as they have common enemies with The Bucks. They fist bump to show respect, so will the Best Bout Machine be able to count The Most Dangerous Man his most valuable ally in this fight?
Samoa Joe speaks.
“Jon Moxley. Men like you, they seem so very complicated. But the truth, Jon? The truth is, men like you have very simple motivations. See, men like you, Jon, you’re agents of chaos, you create chaos wherever you go, and you benefit from the distress that you have reaped. Jon, you’re a man who seeks to go out and not face your problems, no. You distract your problems so that they can’t find you. Jon, I am not a problem that will be distracted. Jon, I am not an issue that will go away when you create chaos. Standing before you, Jon, is an inevitability. I am coming for you, I am coming for my AEW Championship, and Jon? There is nothing you or any of your Riders will be able to do about it.”
The Samoan Submission Specialist has spoken, will The Maniac heed his warning? Or will Moxley find a way to keep his reign of terror going?
AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator: Toni Storm w/ Luther VS Queen Aminata!

Backstage interview with Team Triple Jay.
Lexy Nair is with Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett. We haven’t seen the team in quite some time, so what is next for them? Lethal says that is exactly the question. Perhaps they should ask that to Sonjay Dutt, if he ever decides to show up. Where is he? Sonjay finally arrives, Karen says, “Look who decided to grace us with his presence!” Wow, okay… Sonjay says clearly, the team needs a minute. Lexy steps aside, and Lethal says as the man who’s known Sonjay the longest, as Sonjay’s best friend, Lethal needs to be the one to ask: What the hell is Sonjay’s problem?! Where has he been?
Sonjay has been showing up late for weeks while the others are putting in the work. What has Sonjay gotten them? Nothing! If he’s supposed to be the brains of this operation, he should know that the team is tired of sitting on the sidelines! Jeff double checks: Sonjay’s the brains? Since when? Sonjay knows what Jeff said on January 1st of this year, and it’s that he wants AEW gold. They’ve gone over it over and over. But maybe he’s listening to the wrong people. Lethal says damn right. This time, Lethal’s got the ideas. The team leaves Sonjay behind and Sonjay asks Satnam if he’s going along with this.
Satnam says he can’t really disagree with the others. The One in a Billion leaves to follow the others, is Sonjay no longer part of the team?
Best Wrestler Alive Open Challenge: Max Caster VS ???
Wait, seriously? Platinum Max is 0-7 at his own challenge and he’s still out here with that document in hand. Caster says, “New Orleans! You are lookin’ live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans are torn, but Caster says, “Platinum Max has been taking on all comers week in and week out, and tonight is no different. Platinum Max brings the excitement. Platinum Max brings the drama! And Platinum Max is gonna bring something very, very rare in this city, and that is a playoff-like atmosphere.” The fans boo, but Caster says c’mon, this is Playoff Palooza. Relax. But Caster knows that all the Maximaniacs in the Big Easy wanna do one thing an done thing one: Chant his name!
Here goes! “Let’s Go, Max! You’re the Best Wrestler Alive!” Fans make it “You’re the Worst Wrestler Alive!” but he doesn’t hear it.

Let’s see who can survive the Best Wrestler Alive! And it’s HOLOGRAM! The fans fire up and Caster is furious. But will Caster’s losing streak coincide with Hologram’s continued win streak?

The CEO says Double or Nothing will always hold a special place in her heart, because it is where she won the TBS Championship, and became the greatest TBS Champion of all time.

Mercedes points out she is #FourBeltsMone, and she’s a global wrestling star, but she wants ALL the gold! And the only woman in her way to All In is Jamie Hayter. Jamie says Mone will learn that Hayter Hits Hard. But can Hayter hit hard enough to derail The Money Train?

“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith talk backstage.
The Bad Apple tells The Redwood that Chris Jericho ain’t coming back until he’s no longer disappointed in them. Bill says they need to look out for themselves by crackin’ skulls and stackin’ wins. Keith says that it’s two sides of the same coin. They stop disappointing Jericho when by crackin’ skulls and stackin’ wins! Bill says regardless of what Jericho wants, that is still what they need to do for themselves. So the question must be asked: Who are they gonna crack? It could be anybody! It could be just some dude in the front seat of his car and they crack his skull! It could be that stupid boom mic operator!
Or, it could be at a local wrestling school, where they find two rookies with stars in their eyes looking for the break of a lifetime. Bill & Keith could put those two in that ring and crack their skulls and end their careers before they even start! But that is not what Bill & Keith need. They need a true challenge. They’ve looked around this locker room, and they found two guys who went toe-to-toe with the world tag team champions last week. They found two guys who are highly motivated to make a name for themselves. Bill calls out The Gates of Agony to try and make a name at the Learning Tree’s expense. Will Bill & Keith slam the Gates shut? Or is the Learning Tree about to be cut down?

Roppongi Vice speak.
Trent Beretta says that for their entire careers, he and Rocky Romero have been called, “Underrated.” When you start out, that might be nice. But when you’re 20 YEARS IN… Being “underrated” is an insult! Rocky Romero says, “You know what else is an insult, Trent? When your so-called friends invite you to join The Conglomeration, and they don’t even put you on the shirt! That is an insult! It’s disrespect.” Trent says they are done with that. Rocky shouts at The Outrunners for walking through their shot! But the Outrunners say not to be disrespectful to them! Trent CLOBBERS Turbo! RPG Vice beat up on Turbo & Truth!
Trent says LISTEN! From here on out, you will appreciate everything they have done for you. Rocky & Trent storm off, will this new dangerous Roppongi Vice help the Don Callis Family own AEW?
AEW hears from Kyle Fletcher and “Hangman” Adam Page.
The Aussie Arrow says, “I’m not sure if winning this Owen Hart Cup is the most important part, of if it’s stopping Ospreay. But what I do know is, if I can do both at the exact same time, it will be the most satisfying moment of my life. And Hangman? You might be a cornerstone of this company, but the company that you pioneered is dead!” The Cowboy says, “In the Commonwealth of Virginia, it is The Protostar VS The Hangman. And usually they say ‘Virginia is for Lovers,’ but Kyle, I am going to be rough with you. I am going to smack you, I am going to bite you, and I’m going to Aussie Open your ass and put these ostrich leathers heel deep!”
Kyle says after he wins the Cup, he wins the AEW World Championship, and then you WILL say his full name. But Hangman says at the end of The Owen is a shot at the world title at All In, and Hangman needs that. Both men are locked and loaded for this Wednesday, but who will win and go Double or Nothing with Will Ospreay?

The ref counts, Stokely taunts Roddy, but Dax lets go at 4. Dax puts Roddy in, grabs a leg, and then steps through, for a FIGURE FOUR!! Roddy endures, reaches out, but Dax puts as much pressure as he can on the hold! Roddy claws at the mat, but Kyle is up top! KING KONG KNEE DROP on Dax!! Roddy is free, Cash runs up, but Kyle TOSSES Cash out! And then PLANCHAS Cash down! Roddy covers Dax, TWO! Dax stays in this and Stokely coaches his guys. Roddy crawls, hot tag to Kyle! Kyle storms up to KICK Dax! And KICK! And KICK! Dax ROCKS Kyle, Kyle KICKS Dax! Dax swings, Kyle ducks! Kyle kicks, Dax ducks!
Dax shows punch to make Kyle duck, for a DD- NO, Kyle wrenches out and trips Dax up! Roll and ANKLE LOCK!! GRAPEVINE!! Dax endures, reaches out, and Stokely panics! But Cash is up top to DIVING SPLASH on Kyle!! Dax crawls, fans hope these teams “FIGHT FOREVER!” and Dax hot tags Cash! Dax reels Kyle in, Cash goes up, MIND BREAKER!!! Cover, FTR WINS!!
Winners: FTR, by pinfall
It was the hardest fought match between these two teams yet, but FTR take the win! Adam Cole hurries out here to make sure his guys are okay, but now FTR creeps up. Stokely anchors Cole, and Roddy gets a SHATTER MACHINE!! Cole sees he’s all alone now, but he dares them to bring it then! But wait! Daniel Garcia is here! And he has a crowbar! Red Death chases FTR off, so his avenging 2Point0 will have to wait. Garcia grabs a mic to tell FTR, “Two of the biggest, fakest pieces of trash I have ever met in my entire life! You guys wanna go around, you guys wanna stab people in the back? You wanna stab ME in the back?!
“The only problem is, you guys didn’t dig the knife deep enough to finish the job! So now, lemme tell you this. Now it’s your problem. Because week after week after week after week after week, I will be after you until I get my hands on you and make you pay!” The fans fire up for that! When and where will Garcia finally take the Top Guys out?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of Collision, even for this being a pre-taped and even then slightly delayed episode because of the NBA Playoffs getting in the way. Great opening with The Young Bucks “changing” the match order to try and swerve Swerve. But of course Swerve was winning, good stuff with Blake Christian. Good stuff also with Omega going out there to help Swerve against The Bucks, keeping the link of them in Team AEW going. And we’re getting quite the 8 Man Tag next week, a good tease for the possible Anarchy in the Arena match.
Very good promo from Samoa Joe to call out Moxley, and very good hype promos for Mone VS Hayter and Fletcher VS Hangman. Very good match from Toni VS Aminata, Aminata continues to look strong even in defeat. Still unsure how Aminata VS Deeb is going to go in the ROH Women’s Pure Championship tournament. Anna of course won her return match, but I’m a little surprised she ended up a target for Ford & Bayne. Anna will be a good opponent for Megan to bide her time, though, and maybe Anna gets an ally for a tag match or two.
Caster having another Open Challenge is ridiculous but I guess even he is moving past The Acclaimed, aka not going back for revenge on Bowens. Hologram gets a great win for it, and maybe Hologram will get a title story soon. Though, all the midcard titles are wrapped up in stories… Meanwhile, great Tornado Tag of Top Flight VS CRU, and there wasn’t really cheating for CRU to win since it was No Disqualification, though not caring about Leila was a pretty harsh spot. A string of signatures taking out Darius is good enough, and maybe CRU could get a title shot, if not for Hurt Syndicate being the AEW tag champions and the Sons of Texas probably going until All In: Texas.
Awesome match from Bandido VS Dralistico, but it was clear that being on just this pre-taped and even then slightly delayed episode, Bandido would retain. Rush VS Fox definitely felt like Rush taking out his frustrations over Dralistico’s loss, though. And I feel like they should definitely build to Bandido VS Rush, but that’s only if ROH gets a replacement event for Supercard of Honor now being in July. Very good promo from Heel Roppongi Vice, and I like that Rocky brought up the Conglomeration shirt as a point of disrespect. They are also clearly going to have a match with The Outrunners after that confrontation backstage, that’ll be good stuff to show what Heel RPG Vice does in the ring.
And then just an awesome main event tag match from FTR VS Roddy & Kyle. It wasn’t even really blatant cheating that won it for FTR, such as Stokely distracting and someone doing a low blow. It was just some Heel sneakiness, but mostly just the usual gritty style from both teams. And of course, good stuff with Adam Cole and Daniel Garcia showing up. Cole & Garcia VS FTR is certainly happening soon, though I can’t be sure where that goes, because it would make no sense for Garcia to turn. Unless this is also to help give Cope his return moment so that Cope & Garcia are the ones that take down Heel FTR. Even then, not sure where that goes…
My Score: 8.9/10

Hiromu is devastated, but Naito’s last NJPW match in Hiroshima is a defeat! It was an epic battle, and Taichi shows Naito the proper respect. The fans cheer, and the emotion is clear on Naito’s face. Hiromu helps Naito up, and the fans cheer Naito on. Hiromu adorns Naito with his LIJ baseball cap, and offers the fist bump. The fans cheer Naito on, and also Bushi as he joins the others in the ring. Bushi joins in with the fist bump, and though he struggles to stand, Naito also joins in. The fans cheer as the ungovernable spirit is still strong. Will those burning tears of frustration give way to tears of joy knowing they’re going all out until the very end?
Vacant IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships: Bishamon VS Callum Newman & Great-O-Khan!
Hirooki Goto knows he will defend his IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against the Prince of Pace at Wrestling Dontaku. But this detour into Wrestling Redzone sees Callum fighting to reclaim the tag titles now that Jeff Cobb is leaving NJPW. Will the Dominator help Callum while also making himself a double champion? Or will the only double champion be the man who puts the G in IWGP?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and one way or another, we will have new champions!
The teams sort out and both Goto and Callum step up. The fans cheer this appetizer for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, and rally behind “GO-TO-O!

Khan then has a cocky cover, but Red Shoes isn’t about those. Khan shifts right into a KATAGATAME! Goto endures the head ‘n’ arm triangle as Khan puts all his weight on the hold! Goto reaches out, ROPEBREAK! Khan lets go, but he drags Goto by an arm to tag in Callum.
Callum stomps Goto down, then paces. Callum drags Goto up, but Goto CHOPS! The CHOPS go back and forth, but Callum KNEES low! Callum CLUBS Goto, then has him on the ropes. Callum UPPERCUTS Goto, then brings him out to KICK him down! Cover, ONE! Goto is tougher than that and the fans applaud. Callum drags Goto back up, whips him into the Empire’s corner hard, and Goto falls to the mat! Tag to Khan, he drags Goto up, and gives him Mongolian Chops! And more Mongolian Chops! Then he feints so he can UPPERCUT! The fans applaud, and Khan has Goto in the corner so he can sit on his throne!
The fans cheer but Red Shoes reprimands. Khan pulls Goto’s arms back! Red Shoes counts, Khan hops down, and Khan brings Goto around to Mongolian Chops! Cover, TWO! Goto is still in this but Khan BLASTS Hashi off the apron! Red Shoes reprimands but Khan scuffs Goto. Khan eggs Goto on, then kicks him! Goto eggs Khan on, so Khan kicks again! And again! Goto CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! Khan Mongolian Chops! Khan whips, Goto reverses, and Goto runs up, but into a BOOT! Khan runs, but Goto follows to LARIAT! The fans fire up while both men are down! Goto and Khan crawl, hot tag to Hashi!

Goto runs to run Callum over! Callum kips up to ENZIGIRI! Callum whips, Goto reverses to fireman’s carry, USHIGOROSHI! The fans rally for Goto while he stalks Callum. Goto roars and powers up, and Callum sits up into the BUZZSAW! Goto drags Callum up to fireman’s carry again, G T W!! Cover, TWO!! Callum survives, the fans fire up, and Goto is right on Callum again! Goto dragon sleepers, but Callum drops down to victory roll, TWO! Goto ducks a kick, Callum elbows the waistlock away, then runs. DOUBLE LARIATS collide, and Callum staggers, but he and Goto both growl! They DOUBLE LARIAT again, and Callum slumps against Goto!
The fans fire up as Goto brings Callum up. Goto runs, but Callum ROUNDHOUSES!! Both men are down and the fans fire up more! Goto and Callum crawl now, though a bit dazed. Hot tag to Hashi and he runs past Callum to BLAST Khan! Hashi suplexes, for the HEAD BUSTER! And then the METEORA! Cover, TWO!! Callum survives but Hashi fires up again! Hashi drags Callum up, half nelsons then pump handles, but Callum fights free! Hashi ducks a roundhouse to LARIAT! Cover, Khan breaks it! Goto kicks Khan, fires forearms, but Khan swings! Goto ducks, Hashi mule kicks, and they hook Khan up, GOTO GO TO HUNTER!

Hashi calls for the end, Bishamon hooks Callum up, but Callum fights free! Callum ELBOWS Goto, dodges Hashi, then springboards, DOUBLE OS- NO, Goto catches Callum! Hashi is back in, but Khan SUPERMAN PUNCHES him! Khan fireman’s carries Goto, Callum runs up, IMPERIAL DROP!! Big shoutout to Henare and Cobb, and the fans fire up again! Callum drags Hashi up and he feeds him to Khan. Callum runs, but Hashi fights free!
Hashi shoves Khan at Callum, Callum gets Khan out of the way, but the HIDDEN GAP finds him! Hashi sends Callum at Khan now, knocking Khan down! Hashi then rolls Callum up, TWO! Hashi has the full nelson, DRAGON SUPLEX! But Khan LARIATS Hashi!! Khan shouts to Callum that they have this now, and the fans fire up! Khan drags Hashi into the fireman’s carry, but gets EASY PICKINGS! But Callum V-TRIGGERS Hashi! Hashi is up, Callum dodges him to OSCUTTER!! And then BLOODY SUNDAY!! Cover, THE EMPIRE WINS!!
Winners: Callum Newman & Great-O-Khan, by pinfall (NEW IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions)
“The Prince’s Curse” seals the deal, and now Callum brings all that gold into the ring, even Goto’s world title! Will Goto have to be much more careful when it’s 1v1 at Wrestling Dontaku? Or will he #GetBackUp and #TurnItAllAround?
As for the Empire, Callum puts the world title on Goto’s shoulder, knowing they fight for it in just 8 days’ time. But before Callum & Khan can say anything on the mic, Taichi & Ishii make their way back out here! Taichi grabs the mic and he tells Callum, “Hey young ‘un. Don’t think just because you beat Goto & Hashi, this is a changing of the guard, ya bastard. Who’s quitting? Who’s leaving? With me and Ishii still here, NJPW hasn’t changed a bit. We will be at the center of New Japan, we will be here for the fans, and we will take those belts!” The fans like the sound of that!
Taichi also points out he and Ishii just beat the 2024 World Tag League winners, the former champions, Naito & Hiromu, so they’re deserving of the next shot. He dares Callum to accept the challenge! The fans really like the sound of that! Khan takes the mic and he says, “Two old farts with no future. Such a shame. Well, we will give our senpai a chance. Any time you want, we’ll take you on.” The fans cheer as this showdown is now on the books! When and where will Taichi & Ishii look to reestablish themselves in NJPW?
After Taichi & Ishii head back out, Callum takes the mic to say, “Hold on a moment, please. It’s very hot.” Callum also apologizes, Japanese is very hard for him, so is English okay? The fans applaud and Callum says arigato. Now in English, Callum says, “I’ve seen everything. Anything anyone has got to say about me against Goto. And if you think for one second, I’m gonna listen to anyone that thinks I don’t have a fighting chance at being the next IWGP Champion, then in Fukuoka, none of you are gonna believer your eyes of what The Prince of Pace, Callum Newman, is gonna do!” The fans cheer that!
Callum tells Goto that he has looked up to Goto for years, Goto is one of the best in NJPW. But guess what? In Fukuoka, Callum is not only going to be IWGP Tag Champion, he will be the NEW IWGP World Heavyweight Champion! The fans cheer, and Khan is given the mic back. “We (the royal ‘we’) are the first ever TV and IWGP Tag Champion, and Callum will be the first IWGP World heavyweight and Tag Champion. Bow down, peasants of Hiroshima!” The fans cheer, and Khan continues, “What happened in this Goto Revolution? Nothing! While these old farts are trying to hang on to the spotlight, the revolutionaries are putting in the work, isn’t that right?”
The fans applaud more, and Khan says, “It’s the new that will lead the way for NJPW. It’s Francesco Akira, Templario, Callum Newman, and Great-O-Khan. It’s the power of the United Empire. BOW DOWN!” Akira & Templario join Callum & Khan in throwing up the crowns. Will no one be able to stop them from completely conquering NJPW?
My Thoughts:
A great event for NJPW as they take a detour on the Road to Wrestling Dontaku, especially as Dontaku marks the last date for Naito & Bushi. That tag match of Naito & Hiromu VS Taichi & Ishii was great, and the energy from the crowd was awesome. But given Naito is on his way out, it makes sense he puts Taichi & Ishii over. Seeing Naito get emotional there was a great shot, and we know just how much this all means to him. Great main event for the tag titles, and great win for Callum & Khan. Taichi & Ishii already calling their shot was good, and it made for good stuff in the closing promo.
Goto VS Callum is going to be great, but sorry, maybe I’m one of the naysayers right now. It would be pretty awesome if Callum & Khan became a Two Man Power Trip, but I’m not sure NJPW likes funneling a lot of titles through not just one faction, but through just two guys. One way or another, Khan is a Double Champion and they can play the double header aspect up with him plenty, I don’t think there needs to be a double double header where Callum has to worry about both the tag titles and the world title.
My Score: 8.9/10
