Just as it looked like things were gonna be Too Sweet, the team that’s too fast, too furious takes the win! Kelly Kincaid joins them in the ring to congratulate them, but how are they feeling? Frazer says ever since they started this team, they have NEVER slowed down! And now they’re heading to the biggest Stand & Deliver of all time! And even though they pulled off some crazy stuff tonight, just you wait and see what they do next! Axiom says Bron & Corbin are good, but they are unstoppable! This Saturday, Philadelphia, you will here… “AND NEW~!” But then the Wolf Dogs appear on the perch! Will the Wolf Dogs not be intimidating by all the barking?

 

Lexis King speaks.

“It’s such a shame, isn’t it? It’s a brutal business. And not everyone is cut out for it. But then again, not everyone is The King. And Mr. Stone knows all too well about that. As does Von Wagner. Which is what baffles me as to why Von wants another shot at The King. What’d you say, Von? You’re gonna take care of me? Well lemme tell you something, dummy! You can’t even take care of yourself. And that’s what Mr. Stone has been trying to do for over a year now. He’s been trying to guide you in the right direction. Von, you couldn’t put one foot in front of the other if it wasn’t for Stone. So what makes you think in his absence that you can hang with The King? Because you can’t.

“And it’s gonna be the same old song ‘n’ dance, and everyone’s gonna be happy when they look up and see The King’s hand raised in victory.” The Drama King has a good laugh, but will Vicious Von be the one having the last laugh on the last NXT before WrestleMania Weekend?

 

NXT Media catches up with Ilja Dragunov.

The Czar is heading out and they ask him how he feels tonight’s dinner with Tony D’Angelo will go. Do they mean if he’s nervous? He’s not. But is he on high alert? Wait, who put a boot on his car? What is this about? An SUV pulls up and a cousin of Tony’s says he should’ve paid those parking tickets. Need a ride? No, Dragunov will find a way. Ilja, that wasn’t a question. You don’t want to keep The Don waiting. Dragunov sighs, and he hops in the back. Tony keeps playing games, but he’s also got the upper hand. Will the Mad Dragon be able to do something about that before Stand & Deliver?

 

Fallon Henley w/ Thea Hail & Kelani Jordan VS Jacy Jayne w/ Jazmyn Nyx, Kiana James & Izzi Dame!

The Cowgirl was a better friend with better advice for Thea than the toxic Jacy ever was, and now the battlelines have been drawn! Will Fallon have everyone saying YEEHAW before Stand & Deliver? Or are things only going to get more and more toxic?

NXT returns and Jacy makes her entrance, her new crew following right behind. The bell rings and Fallon circles with Jacy. They tie up, go around, and then end up on ropes. Jacy arm-drags Fallon but they keep the collar ‘n’ elbow. They’re in a deadlock, even on the mat! They roll and roll, then stand up. Jacy pulls hair, gets a waistlock, but Fallon breaks free to switch. Jacy fights the lift, elbows free, then whips. Fallon reverses, elbows, and runs, to then duck ‘n’ dodge and trip Jacy up! Fallon runs up to CALF KICK! Cover, TWO! Fallon whips Jacy to a corner, runs up to ELBOW her, then keeps going. But Kiana takes a swipe!

The fans boo, Fallon is distracted, but Jacy CLOBBERS Fallon from behind! Fallon falls out of the ring, stands up, and Jacy baseball slide dropkicks! Jacy rains down fists, and Kelani has to keep Thea from tearing into everyone on Jacy’s side! Jacy puts Fallon in the ring, runs up, NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Jacy bumps Fallon off buckles, then middle buckles, then middle buckles again! Jacy whips, Fallon sunset flips! TWO, and Jacy hurries to ELBOW Fallon back down! Jacy is frustrated, and she CLUBS away on Fallon. Jacy clamps on a chinlock, Fallon endures, and Thea & Kelani get the fans rallying.

Fallon fights up, powers Jacy back but Jacy sends her into buckles. Fallon BOOTS Jacy, ROCKS her with haymakers, but then Jacy blocks. So Fallon HEADBUTTS! Fallon DECKS Jacy, CLOBBERS her, then body shots, ELBOWS and CHOPS! Jacy sputters, Fallon KNEE SMASHES her! The fans fire up but again Kiana gets in Fallon’s way! So Thea DIVES out onto Kiana! Izzi goes after Thea, Fallon hits Jacy with the FACEBUSTER! Kelani helps Thea against Izzi & Kiana but then Kiana & Izzi turn that around! So Fallon goes out to ROCK Kiana, ROCK Izzi, and threatens Jazmyn! Fallon hurries back in, but Jacy KNEES her down!! Cover, Jacy wins!

Winner: Jacy Jayne, by pinfall

The Toxic Rockstar just rocked Fallon! The mean girls get away with another one, when will karma catch up to them?

Cameras follow said mean girls backstage, and Jacy says it feels damn good to be back on top! This is why Jacy did all of this! Lowering herself and pretending to be Thea’s friend, as well as liking her pitiful professor and smug classmates? Let’s be real for a second. She was never Thea’s friend. She saved Chase U, made that calendar, all to regain the spotlight that should’ve never been taken from her! And now she’s where she should be: THE Attraction of NXT. Ava Raine says yeah, yeah, cute story, Jacy. Let’s move along, this is live TV. Jacy and crew leave, and then Thea storms in! She wants to get her hands on Jacy so bad!

Fallon and Kelani also protest and Ava tells them all enough! She’s heard them all out, so simple answer: Stand & Deliver, Six Woman Tag! Thea and her team are all fired up, will they get to slap the smug smiles off of Jacy, Kiana & Izzi all at once?

 

Josh Briggs speaks.

“For the last two years, you’ve known me as a tag team competitor. But recently, an absolute legend gave me some good advice.” JBL told him he has great talent, but he also wants Briggs to show NXT who he really is. Briggs’ highlight reel shows just how he followed that advice, and Briggs says that this Saturday, he stands on his own and delivers the fight of his career. The North American Championship is on the line, will the Man of Mayhem overcome BOTH Dijak and Oba Femi?

 

Von Wagner VS Lexis King!

We just heard how The Drama King is calling Von out, so now it’s time to back up all the talk! Will Von avenge Robert Stone’s pride? Or will this just be another crowning achievement for The King?

NXT returns as Von makes his entrance. And he rushes right in to go right at King! Von SPINEBUSTERS right at the bell, and he rains down fists! King kicks Von away, runs up but Von counter punches! Von clotheslines King up and out of the ring! Then he goes out to whip King into barriers! The fans fire up with Von as he storms around, and he keeps King from getting away into the ring! Von RAMS King into the barriers, the fans fire up more, and then Von tosses King back in. But King comes back, only for Von to avoid the elbow drop! Von knees low, bumps King off buckles, then bumps him off more buckles.

Von brings King up to TOSS across the way! King flounders to a corner, Von stomps and throws hands! TH eref counts as Von stomps a mudhole in, but Von lets off at 4. The fans rally as Von goes corner to corner, but King BOOTS back! King goe sup, leaps, but into Von’s arms! Von FALL AWAY SLAMS! The fans fire up while King flounders. Von storms up but King CHOPS! Von CLUBS King, whips him corner to corner, then runs in, but King dodges! Von POSTS himself, then King goes out to the apron! KNEE! Von falls back, King storms in, and King stomps away on Von.

King taunts Von, talks trash, then drops elbows! Cover, ONE!! Von shows his toughness but King CLUBS Von! King CLUBS Von again, puts him in a corner, and then uses ropes for leverage as he digs boots in! The ref counts, King lets off at 4, but the fans boo. Von kicks low, but King fires hands and a CHOP! Von CHOPS back! King CHOPS again, and again, then whips. Von reverses but King turns Von for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Von’s still tougher than that, but King clamps on to rain down HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! The fans rally, King crossface forearms, then he clamps on a chinlock.

Von endures as the fans rally up for him, and he stands up! King becomes a backpack as Von RAMS him into buckles! Von gets free, but then King jumps back on! Von throws King away, coughs and sputters, and King SUPERKICKS! King mule kicks a leg, then says Hail to the King! But he runs into a POWERSLAM! The fans fire up with Von as King staggers around! Von DECKS King, DECKS him again, then whips him to ropes. King KICKS back, but Von just gets mad! King runs, but into a BOOT! Von is all fired up and the fans are with him! Von hauls King up to underhook and BUTTERFLY SLAM!

Von prepares the big hand but King flounders to the apron. Von pursues, but King kicks. Von blocks, choke grips, and APRON CHOKE SLAMS!! King writhes and Von is roaring! Von clears off the desk and the fans fire up again! Booker T & Vic Joseph get their things then move aside. Von drags King up and reels him in, and the fans chant for “TABLE! TABLE!” But King fights the bomb! Von CLUBS King, lifts again, but King DDT COUNTERS! The ring count is 7 of 10! King slides in, he wants those last counts faster! Von stands at 8, hurries in at 9, but King gets him in the ropes! CORONATION!! Cover, King wins!

Winner: Lexis King, by pinfall

One slip-up and it all costs Von! Will King’s ego grow until it’s even bigger than the arena with this win?

 

Ava Raine visits Carmelo Hayes’ room.

Melo’s private security lets her in and she assures Melo that no one is in trouble. But given how heated things are between Melo and Trick, she has told the ref scheduled for their match to be much more lenient and use his discretion, as we must have a winner. Melo likes the sound of that, and Ava says tonight, there are extra refs and security in case things get out of hand. Well, what Melo has to say to Trick, make sure your boys are ready, because his will be. Ava leaves, but can she and Trick really trust… HIM?

 

Natalya talks with Karmen Petrovic backstage.

The Queen of Harts knows the real-life Beatrix Kiddo has this under control, but just watch out for Lola’s kicks. Roxanne Perez walks over and says three months ago, Roxie would’ve listened to Natty’s every word. Oh, really? Yeah, but now, Roxie doesn’t need Natty or any of her former heroes. Roxie heads out and Karmen says Natty shouldn’t worry about her. It’s go time. Karmen helped Natty but it didn’t work out last week. Will Karmen take care of cooling off Latina Heat herself? That match is next!

 

Arianna Grace is backstage.

And she’s already giving Gigi Dolin a bad grade on punctuality. But instead of “Giorgina” arriving, it’s Wren Sinclair. What’re these? Isn’t Wren a “curious little bird?” Arianna lightly slaps Wren’s hands away from the dresses, and says these are some of the finest gowns money can buy, they’re for Giorgina. But Arianna is a little nervous for her trying them on. But Arianna is sure Gigi will look great. Wren says Gigi already looks good the way she is. Aren’t beauty pageants about being who you are and not worrying about fitting in? Wren, are you implying that Arianna is changing Gigi for the worst? Kinda…

Arianna is baffled, astonished and appalled! She can’t even believe she’s saying this, but those are fighting words, Miss Sinclair! What? Arianna is just trying to make the world a better place and Wren just… just…! Arianna is texting Giorgina right now, so these dresses will have to wait! Arianna storms out with the clothing rack, but will she regret losing her cool?

 

Karmen Petrovic w/ Natalya VS Lola Vice!

NXT returns as Karmen makes her entrance, the Queen of Harts by her side. The bell rings and the two circle. They feel things out, Karmen tests the waters with kicks first, but Lola has good defense. Lola then goes in for a leg, but Karmen slips around to waistlock. Lola switches, grabs an arm, ARMBAR! Karmen clasps hands to block, then she stacks, TWO! Lola ducks a kick, Karmen ducks a kick, and the fans cheer the standoff. Karmen shows she can shake her hips like Lola, too! The two tie up, Lola puts Karmen on ropes and KNEES low! Lola gets a leg, trips Karmen, but Karmen kicks free! Lola clinches but Karmen fires forearms!

Lola body shots, then whips! Karmen goes up to SOBAT! Then Karmen spins, to DISCUS LARIAT! That’s very Natty like! Cover, TWO! Karmen clamps onto an arm but Lola endures. Lola fights up, Natty coaches Karmen to keep on her, and Karmen wrenches to wristlock. Lola wrenches to KICK low! Lola shakes out the arm, drags Karmen up and knees low! And again! And again! Karmen falls, Lola tells Natty this is what her little friend gets. Karmen sits up but Lola KICKS her down! Cover, TWO! Lola clamps on with a chinlock and she thrashes Karmen around! Karmen endures, the fans rally up, and Karmen fights to her feet.

Karmen throws elbows, but Lola waistlocks. Karmen pries the hold, throws more elbows, but Lola puts on a full nelson! Karmen claws the hold open, drops and KICKS Lola away! Lola runs back up but into a BOOT! Karmen runs up to KICK, KICK and KICK! Then a wrench and LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up and Karmen aims from the corner. LION’S BARRAGE! Cover, TWO! Lola survives but Karmen fires more forearms. Karmen whips, Lola reverses and URAKENS! Karmen is dazed, and Lola has the legs! Lola steps through, and fans go wild as she steals the SHARPSHOOTER!! Karmen endures, but Lola stares Natty down! Karmen taps, Lola wins!

Winner: Lola Vice, by submission

The Mayor of Vice City shows Natty that she can do it just like a Hart! Will nothing stop Lola from turning up the heat?

 

The SUV continues down the road.

Dragunov wait sin silence as Tony D’s men drive him to “The Selica.” They arrive, and tell Dragunov to go, Tony’s waiting inside. Dragunov exits the SUV, and he carries the NXT Championship with him to the door. The guy waiting there knocks, and the door opens. Dragunov steps inside and sees another guy working with a table saw. Blatant intimidation aside, Dragunov continues on. Another man is working with a nail gun. This guy leads the way further in, and finally, a table set for two. Dragunov takes his seat, and now The Don walks in, accompanied by Stacks, Rizzo and Luca Crusifino. Tony takes his seat, everyone standing around, and we’ll check in a little later…

 

NXT presents an all new Supernova Sessions.

The Meta Four is all here, and Noam Dar says, “Hello, hello, hello! Hear me now! Live from the Moon, welcome to another edition of Supernova Sessions live in the USAAA~! We are one week from Stand & Deliver. Mensah, tell me, who will be standing and delivering all over that show?” Oro says it’s Meta Four, brother! Jakara says yes, they’re the hostesses with the mostesses. Lash says the biggest Stand & Deliver of all time needed the biggest stars in the galaxy, okay? Okay! Correct as always, because that is them. But to tonight’s business! Welcome to the ring, ROXAAANE~ Perez! The fans boo not just Dar’s bad The Police impersonation, but also the Prodigy of bitterness’s entrance.

Roxie joins Meta Four in the ring, is given a mic, and then takes a seat. Dar says “ROXAAANE~,” you were late! Roxie doesn’t care, bring her out here. Rude. But okay. Ladies and gentlemen, their other guest, the NXT Women’s Champion, Lyra Valkyria! The fans cheer the Morrigan but she looks anything but in a good mood. She gets in the ring, glares at Roxie but Roxie just waves and asks about the arm. Meta Four has them all stand down, keep it classy. Let us take a moment to talk about Saturday. Roxie can’t wait! That is the day she gets back the title she never lost. Ugh, here we go again! Just stop, okay? Just stop.

Lyra is so sick of Roxie say the same damn thing over and over and over again! Wanna know why Roxie is NOT NXT Women’s Champion? Uh, because it was taken from her? No, it’s that Indi Hartwell climbed the ladder faster than Roxie. Last year, even! At Stand & Deliver! Roxie had her opportunity to regain the title, and she failed. Oh, but that wasn’t Roxie’s fault, no, she never blamed herself for it. She blamed Indi. Or wait, what about their match at Vengeance Day? Roxie lost that one, too! But that wasn’t her fault either, was it? No, she blamed Lola Vice because she cashed in the Breakout Tournament contract.

But no no no, that was all Lola. That was so unexpected and shocking. Like when Roxie won the title in the first place! Oh, but it isn’t okay when Lola does it? Should Lyra keep going? Roxie says stop talking like you know her, cuz you don’t! Lyra’s been riding high as the number one woman the last six months. She doesn’t know what it is to lose that title. But on Saturday, Roxie will make sure Lyra does. Roxie will knock Lyra off her high horse an dwatch her fall all the way down. Then we’ll see how good that moral compass really is. She’ll learn a champoin is made not after they win a title, but after they lose it.

This is a whole new Roxanne Perez, Lyra, and at Vengeance Day, she probably never could’ve snapped Lyra’s arm the way she did a couple weeks ago. Roxie didn’t have it in her then. But now? Now, Roxie does. And the funny thing is, Lyra thinks all of this broke her? Losing the title broke Roxie? No…! It only made her dangerous. Lyra says okay, still hearing “your title” this and that. Lyra doesn’t remember it being Roxie’s title when Tiffany had it. And it damn sure wasn’t Roxie’s title when Becky had it. But Roxie surely has excuses lined up there. Let’s hear them. No, wait, save it. Because Stand & Deliver will be a fight. Biggest show of the year.

And wanna know the difference between the two of them? While Lyra wins, all Roxie does is b*tch! OHHH~! And then Lyra says after Stand & Deliver, Roxie’s gonna have a lot more to b*tch about. Dar freaks out, but then Roxie gets up. Lyra wants to be seen as the perfect champion, but trust Roxie, there’s no such thing. Not even the great Lyra Valkyria~! But Roxie’s got a whole year of rage built up, and Stand & Deliver is where she lets it all out. Roxie then ROCKS Lyra with a haymaker!! Lyra comes back with a HEEL KCIK!! The fans fire up, as does the Meta Four! Lyra gets Roxie up, to DEATH VALLEY DRIVER through the table!!

The fans are thunderous and Meta Four can’t even! The Morrigan stands over mean little Roxie, but will she do this all again in Philadelphia?

 

Dijak speaks.

“In that ring, I’m the law. A clear stream of justice. And I hand that down with great conviction and reckless abandon! I don’t care who you are, I can break any man!” His highlight reel also shows his dominance. Dijak didn’t come back to make friends. He came to collect championships. Dijak is the superior big man in NXT, and he will prove it!

Oba Femi is watching.

The Ruler tells Josh Briggs and Dijak that at Stand & Deliver, he will show them both why he IS the North American Champion. Then he continues to gorilla to then head for the ring! The man backed by destiny will not waste time talking, he will start showing! Will he toss Joe Gacy like he’s just a shotput? Or will the madman of NXT do the unthinkable?

Oba Femi VS Joe Gacy!

NXT returns and Gacy makes his entrance. But then Shawn Spears attacks from behind with a chair! Spears tells Gacy to laugh now! Spears then backs off as Oba storms out. Oba gets Gacy up, puts him in the ring, and the ref check with Gacy. Gacy says he still wants the match, this is what he came for! Gacy stands, the bell rings, and Gacy fires off haymakers on Oba! Oba hits back, then whips Gacy away to CLUB him in the back! Oba stomps Gacy, drags him up, then ROCKS him again. Oba whips, Gacy KICKS back, then Gacy swings, but into the URENAGE BACKBREAKER! Oba then stomps Gacy around, taking out his anger.

Oba drops an elbow, then drops another elbow! Oba drags Gacy up but Gacy grins as he SLAPS Oba! Oba DECKS Gacy! Oba drags Gacy from ropes, drops another elbow, then makes Gacy look at him. Gacy grabs at Oba but Oba drops a knee! Cover, TWO! Gacy toughs it out and grins as he goes to ropes. Oba throws more hands, then he whips corner to corner hard! Gacy bounces off buckles, falls, and Oba runs in to UPPERCUT! The fans rally behind Oba while Gacy flounders. Oba storms up to whip corner to corner, then runs up to UPPERCUT again! Gacy falls out of the ring but Oba goes after him.

Gacy CHOPS Oba, goes to the apron, and then Gacy runs up, into a CHOP! The fans are thunderous after that gunshot like smack! Gacy writhes into the ring, Oba storms in and he grabs legs. Gacy kicks and kicks and gets free, then CHOPS back! And CHOPS, and haymakers and repeat! Oba shoves Gacy away, runs up, but Gacy ducks to ENZIGIRI! Gacy reels Oba in, for a SAIDO! The fans fire up as Gacy hurries up, goes to ropes, and LIONSAULTS! Gacy keeps moving, handsprings, UPSIDE- NO, Oba scoops, to LAWN DART Gacy off buckles! Then SHOTPUT BOMB! Oba roars and the fans fire up with him!

Oba stalks Gacy, drags him back up, but the ref wants him to back off. The ref checks Gacy, throws up the X, and that’s the end!

Winner: Oba Femi, by referee stoppage

The Ruler’s power was perhaps too much even for Gacy, and Oba is moving on towards Stand & Deliver with momentum. But will he have enough power to throw down two opponents who are very much his equals in size? Or will there be a new champion by the end of the madness?

 

Tatum Paxley finds Lyra backstage.

Tatum asks what that was out there, and Lyra says that was Roxie pushing her to her mental limit, and Lyra had to tap into something else to deal with it. Tatum says okay, but that’s not Lyra. Tatum knows Lyra. Lyra’s the champion, the- Tatum, no time for theories or feedback or whatever. Okay, maybe Lyra is right, but Lyra is willing to do anything to keep this title at Stand & Deliver. Even if it means not being herself. Lyra storms off and Tatum seems concerned. Will the Morrigan bring out her dark side to deal with Roxie’s edge?

 

Arianna Grace VS Wren Sinclair!

We saw Miss Congeniality lose her cool simply talking to the new girl, and now she actually wants to fight when not fighting was the whole crux of her getting on Gigi Dolin’s case. Will Arianna win despite her hypocrisy? Or will she have to learn to lose with grace?

The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Arianna powers Wren to a corner but Wren powers her way back. Wren waistlocks, Arianna wrenches free, but Wren rolls, wrenches and headlocks back. Wren hits the takeover, the fans duel, and Arianna fights up. Arianna powers out but Wren runs her over. Things speed up, Wren fakes Arianna out on the return to then headlock and hit the takeover again! The fans cheer the exchange, but Arianna fights up. Arianna powers up and puts Wren on ropes. The ref counts, the two break, and Arianna takes time to slow-wave to the fans. Wren makes that into a high-five!

Wren gets around Arianna, but Arianna bucks the O’Conner! Wren trips Arianna, then runs to BULLDOG! Cover, ONE!! Wren clamps onto Arianna, puts her down for another cover, ONE! Wren waistlocks, Arianna fights up, and she powers Wren into a corner. The fans rally, the ref counts, and Arianna breaks free. But then Wren blocks the cheap shot mule kick! Arianna apologizes but Wren spins her, reels her in, and hits a BIG atomic drop! Arianna hobbles around, and Wren DROPKICKS her down! Wren whips, Arianna holds ropes and avoids the dropkick! Arianna bumps Wren off buckles, stomps a mudhole, but stops as the ref counts.

Arianna brings Wren out to SAYANAGI! Then she pushes Wren down to elbow drop! Elbow drop! And then she scrapes her sole off Wren’s face! Arianna gets the legs for the BOSTON CRAB! Arianna sits deep on it but Wren endures! The fans fire up as Wren turns things over, kicks one leg free and then kicks some more! Arianna staggers back, comes back, but misses the elbow drop! Wren rolls Arianna up, ONE!! Arianna trips Wren, has the legs again, but Wren fights the turn! Wren throws Arianna away and fans fire up! Arianna storms up, but Wren CHOPS! Arianna swings, but gets another CHOP!

Wren fires forearms, whips, but Arianna reverses. Wren LARIATS, LARIATS and then ducks ‘n’ dodges to LEAPING LARIAT! The fans fire up as Wren runs, but Arianna avoids the scissor kick! Arianna shoves, Wren CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Wren Oklahoma Rolls, TWO! Wren whips Arianna to a corner, runs up, but Arianna avoids the splash! Arianna reels Wren in, O’Conner Bridge, with ropes!! Arianna wins!!

Winner: Arianna Grace, by pinfall

Not very ladylike to win by cheating again, but perhaps that’s exactly what she learned from being a pageant queen… Is Arianna going to make Gigi over in her image one way or another?

 

NXT checks in on Dragunov and The Don.

The tension from earlier continues, but Tony smiles and says thanks for coming. He heard Dragunov had some parking trouble? Don’t worry, he can get it taken care of. Dragunov has to admit, the depths of how far Tony will take things to get the mental edge is impressive. Tony wants Dragunov to understand where he is sitting, and what this means for him. What this place is symbolic of. Dragunov says last week, when the “Consigliere” dropped the invite, Dragunov was shocked by the location, sure. But he did his homework, and in Tony’s world, this is a very scary place. Damn right it is! This place doesn’t represent the end of Dragunov. Yet.

This dinner here represents the end of Dragunov’s title reign. Oh, Tony, Tony, Tony… Many a man have said this before, but on one so far has been able to do it. Well Tony ain’t anybody! He’s The Don of NXT! And if you think what Tony’s done up to this point is impressive, than this Saturday, he makes it look like child’s play. Like what? Tony said it himself, Dragunov is unbreakable! So Dragunov gives Tony his respect as a force in NXT, as The Don. But this is Ilja Dragunov, and nothing will stop him from leaving Stand & Deliver as THE NXT Champion. Dragunov grips the table, but Tony grips the wounded hand!

Tony asks if Dragunov sees the faces of these “mooks” around him. Their eyes. They’re just ready to pounce. Tony could’ve taken Dragunov out at any moment, or even right now. But Tony lets off the hand and says he won’t. He’ll do it while the whole world is watching this Saturday. Tony will break the unbreakable, and The Don will leave Stand & Deliver the NXT Champion. Tony tells Dragunov it’s nothing person, it’s just business. Tony snaps his fingers, and dinner is served. Tony tells Dragunov to enjoy his last supper. Tony and his crew leave, but will he be eating his words in Philadelphia?

 

Sol Ruca VS Blair Davenport!

This showdown has been a long time coming! Another of Blair Davenport’s ambush victims wants revenge, but will she have it? Or must everyone still beware of Blair?

NXT returns as Blair makes her entrance. The bell rings and Blair SHOTGUNS first! Sol ends up in a corner, Blair UPPERCUTS again and again, then whips. Sol stops herself, ELBOWS back, then kicks low. Sol UPPERCUTS, trips Blair, and handsprings over to then SUPERKICK! Blair flounders, Sol whips her to a corner, but Blair reverses. Sol goes up and over, arm-drags Blair, then has the cording hold! The fans cheer but Blair fights up. Sol wrenches, wristlocks then straight arm levers! Sol carries Blair around to then SLAM her down! Sol rolls, then drops a knee into the short arm scissor!

Sol pushes up, Blair keeps her shoulders up, but Sol shifts to have the wristlock again. Blair fights up, Sol wrenches, but Blair ROCKS her! And ROCKS her again! Blair whips, Sol reverses and fireman’s carries! Sol DROPS Blair, then STANDING MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO! Sol keeps on Blair with a facelock, but Blair kicks the bad leg! Blair whips., then hip tosses, but Sol handsprings through to FACEBUSTER! Sol DROPKICKS Blair against ropes, then clotheslines her up and out! The fans cheer, Sol goes to the apron, but Blair takes a swipe! Sol handsprings and handstands to dodge! Then handsprings again, to PENALTY KICK!

The fans rally, Solo runs up, but Blair sends her into steel steps! Blair then gets that bad leg, SHIN BREAKER on the steps! Sol writhes, Blair soaks up the heat, and NXT goes picture in picture.

Blair drags Sol up, puts her in the ring, and then reels her in for another SHIN BREAKER! Sol writhes and clutches the leg, but Blair puts it on ropes to dig her boots in! Then she STOMPS the leg! The ref reprimands, Sol writhes, but Blair brings her up. Blair snapmares Sol into ropes! Blair YANKS the bad leg, then pushes Sol to a cover, TWO! Sol toughs it out but Blair drags her from ropes. Blair has the leg, and SMASHES the knee on the mat! Blair kicks Sol around but Sol throws body shots. Blair drags Sol around, hooks the bad leg up, and SNAP LOCKS it! Blair puts pressure on the leg, then stands up again for another SNAP LOCK!

Sol endures, but Blair stands up again. Blair pulls Sol’s hair to keep her from ropes! The ref reprimands, so Blair lets off to drop an elbow on the knee! Sol tries to chinlock but Blair shrugs her off. Blair stomps and YANKS the leg, then steps over. But sol BOOTS Blair into buckles! Sol rolls Blair up, TWO! Blair reels Sol in, SHIN- NO, Sol sunset flips! TWO! Blair gets up, gets the leg, but Sol throws hands! Blair hits Sol back, and NXT returns to single picture. The slapping palm strikes continue, but then Blair ducks the enzigiri! Blair then has the leg, but Sol uses the lift to handspring up and PELE! The fans fire up while both women are down!

Sol crawls her way to ropes, but Blair storms up. Sol throws body shots, but Blair ROCKS Sol with a forearm! Sol ELBOWS, Blair ROCKS her again! The forearms fly, but then Blair sweeps the leg!

Sol barely makes it back and Blair kicks the legs out! Blair then drags Sol up, reels her in, but sol fights the suplex! Sol suplexes Blair and they both go up and out to the floor!! Both women are down on the outside while fans fire up!

The ring count starts as both women stir. Sol stands at 3 of 10, pushes Blair in at 4, then hurries up. Blair runs up but Solo ROCKS her! And DECKS her! Sol shakes the bad leg out, ONE LEG SPRINGBOARD SPLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Blair survives and Sol is beside herself! Sol drags Blair back up, reels her in, suplexes, but Blair slips free to SAIDO! Cover, TWO!! Sol survives and the fans fire up! Blair grows frustrated, then she drags Sol up. But Sol wrenches and drop toeholds Blair into buckles! Sol runs up, Blair puts her on the apron, but Sol HOTSHOTS Blair back! Sol then goes up the corner, aims and CARTWHEEL DDTS!! Cover, TWO!?!

Sol can’t believe Blair survived but Sol goes up and up and SOL- NO, Blair snatches Sol first! Blair then drags Sol up to suplex, FALCON ARROW! And then, KAMI- ROLLUP!! Sol wins!!!

Winner: Sol Ruca, by pinfall

Blair’s soul may not have been snatched, but Sol still takes the win! Will nothing stop the surfer from riding a wave of momentum to the top of the NXT Women’s Division?

 

Dijak finds Briggs backstage.

They both saw what Oba did to Gacy. But that ain’t happening to Briggs, he’s taking that title. The hell he is, Dijak’s the one winning. Oba finds them both and tells them neither of them will become champion. HE will remain! Oba holds up the belt now, but will he still be holding it after all these big meaty men are done slapping meat?

 

Ava Raine is in her office.

She doesn’t wanna toot her own horn, but this Stand & Deliver card is looking pretty good. And then Joe Gacy quite literally crawls his way into her office, claiming he is okay. Spears, his chair, then Oba. Gacy wants Spears on Saturday! He’s okay! Well, okay, why not? Spears VS Gacy on the Countdown Show, this Saturday! Gacy smiles, is he going to make The Chair Man wish he stayed in the back tonight?

 

Carmelo Hayes heads to the ring.

The final face-to-face between what was Trick Melo Gang is about to begin, and all the security is ready. Trick makes his entrance second, but the fans fire up for him, unlike HIM. Trick gets a mic and Melo takes off the sunglasses. Trick says, “Here we are, face to face. I guess we should both be happy. We main eventing the biggest show of the year. But it wasn’t supposed to be like this. Trick Melo Gang built a bond so strong that the whole world had to take notice. Trick Melo Gang built a bond so strong, you and me, the first two Black men to main event a PLE on WrestleMania Weekend ever.” The fans cheer that!

And as much as Trick wants to be excited about that, he is having a hard time because… He’s going to war with the man he used to call brother. Melo says when you put it like that, he’s gotta admit, Trick came a long way. A long way from that dark match on SmackDown in Virginia, Trick’s third match ever. Trick admits, he was nervous that night. He didn’t know if he belonged. But he looked to his side, and his brother was there for him. Melo remembers that. And it was like that. But one thing Trick’s gotta realize, at one point it was Melo & Trick against the world. Now, at Stand & Deliver, it’s Melo VS Trick. And the world will be watching.

Just like they watched Trick ruin everything! Trick says nah, dog! That was Melo. Oh, Melo ruined it? Of course he ruined it! When the “hero” gets to tell the story. But Melo will put this into perspective. Imagine these championships were like their girlfriends. Melo lost the NXT Championship, Trick lost the North American Championship, and Trick wanted to get the NA title back. But then Trick went behind Melo’s back and tried to take Melo’s girl, the NXT Title, knowing damn well Melo was trying to get her back. Is that what brothers do? Make that make sense, Trick!

Because the look of shock on Melo’s face when Trick got himself added to the #1 contender’s match, do you know what that look was? That was Melo realizing that at the drop of a beat, Trick went from brother to enemy! Trick says if that’s how Melo wants to tell it, fine. But they both know that’s not how things went down. Trick started to blow up, Melo knew it, Trick knew it. Trick came to Melo, asked Melo, and saw him face to face and said he wanted to take a chance on himself. Melo said he was happy for Trick. In fact, he said he did the same thing to get his career jumping. And now Melo wants to pull this with Trick?

Melo admits, he said that and meant that. He was paving a way the whole time! But Trick… Trick wanted to believe all the hype, listening to all the people, them telling Trick he was ready for a position that wasn’t open to him yet. That whole time, that position was Melo’s and it’s still his. It doesn’t matter if Melo has a title or not, at the end of the day, Trick’s always gonna take a back seat to him. Everyone knows it, and Trick needs to know it. Trick says those days are long gone. Melo chuckles and says Trick used to be so humble. What happened to him? But Melo gets it, he does. Trick’s been hot for six months! Congrats! You did it! Melo’s been hot for three YEARS!

And to break it down like this, and really listen to this, the fans love you when you’re shining, when you’re on the rise. But when it’s the next guy’s turn, they switch you like Nintendo. Quote that! Oh, now it makes sense. Trick sees that this is what it’s all been about. This is what Melo’s mad about. Trick knows Melo better than anybody, and so Trick knows that Melo is envious. Melo is jealous that the fans love Trick Willy and it’s all over his face. Melo says it could be so simple. Envious of what? What the people think? At Stand & Deliver, these people won’t be in the ring with Trick, Melo will! And the people can’t help Trick!

Melo and Trick will be in that ring, and Trick learns the hard way why Melo’s been on top for so long, why he’s the man, why they call him HIM, and why it is that when Melo shoots, Melo Don’t Miss! Nah, Melo, you learned the hard way that Trick’s the one to knock you off the hill! That Trick’s the man around here now! And if Melo didn’t learn it by now, he’ll learn it at Stand & Deliver when everybody in Philly is chanting “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” And then Trick will whoop that ass! Melo makes a move, a guard gets in the way, so Melo DECKS the guard! Then Melo’s security moves forward so Trick DECKS one of them!

The fans fire up as the brawl is own between Trick and Melo, the guards doing what they can but getting hit by haymakers, too! Fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” Melo and Trick start tossing bodies, and then it’s just the two of them! They fire off hands, so now superstars have to rush out here! The fans still want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” but this will just have to wait until the main event of Stand & Deliver! Will the City of Brotherly Love see these former brothers tear each other apart? What will be left of them after it’s all said and done?


My Thoughts:

A great NXT here as a go-home episode, but it felt like it dragged on by the end just to make sure there was time for the final segment. Trick and Melo had a good closing face to face, but the brawl wasn’t quite as wild as expected. I’m still leaning towards Trick winning to send Melo off to SmackDown, and it will be a great moment and match all the same. Dragunov and Tony D had good throughline story tonight, and for a moment, I was thinking Dragunov was going to relate things about his childhood as a Russian boy in a German neighborhood to show the Italian American he knows nothing of intimidation. But Tony still seems to have the edge, so the math is certainly favoring Dragunov winning out, provided Tony doesn’t cheat.

Great move with the Triple Threat tag opening, as it was just awesome, but I did not think Axiom & Frazer were winning. Or perhaps, I just wasn’t expecting Good Brothers to lose. But I suppose if Gallows & Anderson were facing Bron & Corbin, it was a bit obvious to say Bron & Corbin were winning. Now with it being Axiom & Frazer, the match really can go either way. Bron still has to end up on SmackDown full time, so the titles could go to Axiom & Frazer, allowing them to lead the way for the Tag Division into the Summer and Heatwave in Toronto. There are plenty of teams waiting for their chance, so there’d be no shortage of feuds to book.

Really good match from Sol VS Blair to be our main event match, and really good quick pin win for Sol. I feel like with the rest of Blair’s “victims” still on the shelf, or back on the shelf in the case of Nikkita Lyons, the story of Sol and Blair really should continue from here so there can be a definitive winner. Really good match from Arianna VS Wren to keep Arianna’s momentum up without Gigi being part of tonight’s promo. And a good match from Lola VS Karmen but perhaps too quick to really give us a feel for it. Lola winning using Natty’s move makes it feel like there’s going to be a rematch with Natty but isn’t this supposed to be about Lola and Karmen?

Good promo from Lexis King and good match with Von but I’m not sure what the endgame of the story is now. Stone didn’t show up, King only won with an opportunistic finisher, but I suppose a promo next week could get things moving. Good promos from Dijak and Briggs, and even from Oba. Spears attacking Gacy was fitting of their story and set up their match for Stand & Deliver, but hard to say if Gacy was legit rocked during the match with Oba that called it off. Gacy’s match is in the kickoff show so if he’s not okay by Saturday morning, they can probably call it off and nothing is affected necessarily, but here’s hoping Gacy really is just fine.

Great stuff with Fallon VS Jacy helping cue up the Six Woman Tag, and that will be a really good match. Jacy won here, had a promo putting herself over, so I would hope the Faces win at Stand & Deliver. And then great stuff with the NXT Women’s Championship story. Good Supernova Sessions, with Lyra really showing some edge of her own as she tells Roxie to shut up about the past and just accept she lost fair and square. Great spot of Lyra putting Roxie through a table, and Tatum being unsure about edgy Lyra is an interesting detail. Tatum made sure Lyra won last time, is she going to end up being why Lyra loses this time? I still feel like Roxie’s primed for her call-up, same as Melo and Bron, so maybe Tatum waits to turn on Lyra until after Lyra retains the title.

My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

NXT North American Championship #1 Contender’s Fatal 4 Way: Eddy Thorpe VS Lexis King VS Wes Lee VS Ethan Page!

The Absolute holds what many want, but only one gets their shot. Will the Alpha Wolf be one step closer to his “birthright?” Will the Drama King look to go for another crown? Will the Wes Side return to former glory? Or will it be All Ego that meets Saints in Sin City?

But speaking of Saints, Ricky makes his entrance after everyone else is already in the ring! The fans fire up as the champion decides to join commentary. The bell rings and Eddy kicks at Ethan but Ethan blocks, only for Lexis to DECK Ethan! Wes then rolls Eddy up, but Lexis shoves Wes away! Lexis basement SUPERKICKS Eddy! Wes and Lexis stare down, things speed up, and Lexis hurdles, but Wes leaps over. Wes dodges Lexis, but Lexis steps on Wes’s dropdown! The fans are torn, but Eddy is up. Lexis wants Eddy to calm down, but then Ethan is also up. Lexis tells them both to calm down, but now Wes is up.

Lexis finds himself surrounded, and Wes feeds Lexis to Eddy’s KICK, and Ethan’s HAYMAKER! Wes adds a HAYMAKER, then Eddy KIKS again! Ethan HAYMAKERS, Wes ENZIGIRIS, and Lexis wobbles. Eddy TOSSES Lexis, the fans fire up, but then Ethan DECKS Wes! Eddy ROCKS and KICKS, KICKS, and SOBATS on Ethan! Wes runs up, Eddy gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX! Wes tumbles to a corner, Eddy BOOTS Ethan! Eddy runs and BOOTS Wes! Lexis is back, but Eddy dodges to BUSAIKU KNEE! Cover, Ethan breaks it! Ethan ROCKS Eddy, but Wes ROCKS Ethan! Eddy spins Wes, but Wes BODY BLOWS!

Wes KICKS, KICKS, and ENZIGIRIS Eddy, to then DOUBLE STOMP him down! Wes runs to ELBOW Ethan in a corner, mule kick, and AX KICKS! Wes then runs at Lexis, but Lexis dodges!

Lexis POSTS himself! Wes BOOTS Ethan, Eddy kicks Wes, then Eddy reels Wes in. Wes wrenches out, slips around, but Eddy elbows free. Eddy runs, Wes dodges, and Ethan holds the ropes down! Eddy tumbles up and out and to the floor!

Wes runs up, Ethan puts him on the apron, but Wes RAMS into Ethan! Eddy grabs at Wes, Wes kicks him away, but Ethan ROCKS Wes! Wes is stuck in the ropes, so Ethan hits a DRAPING CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Wes survives, Ethan drags Wes up, but then he sees Lexis climbing a corner. Ethan pushes Wes aside to ROCK Lexis! Ethan then climbs up to join Lexis, reels him in, but they both fire body shots! Lexis CLUBS Ethan, Eddy UPPERCUTS Lexis! Eddy climbs up to work with Ethan, but then Wes throws hands on the legs! Wes gets under all of this, and the fans fire up for the TOWER OF DOOM!!

All four men are down while the fans cheer on “NXT! NXT!” for making this the opener! Lexis flops out of the ring, Ethan and Eddy flounder, but Wes runs, SHOOTING STAR on Ethan! Cover, Eddy breaks it! The fans fire up as Wes and Eddy stand to trade forearms! Wes fires a body shot then a forearm, but Eddy fires a forearm, an UPPERCUT, and a KICK! Eddy snarls, but Ethan waistlocks! Eddy fires elbows to get free, but Wes BOOTS Eddy! Ethan DUMPS Eddy out, Wes DECKS Ethan! Wes builds speed and he DIVES into Lexis! Ethan let Lexis take that shot while he grabs Eddy. Eddy blocks the apron bump to elbow Ethan!

Eddy runs up, Ethan dodges, and Eddy almost hits Ricky! Ricky says watch it, but then Ethan SHOVES Eddy into Ricky! The fans go nuts, Ricky is pissed, and he THROWS Eddy aside to get at Ethan! The ref tries to stop this, but Ricky is too heated, so the ref EJECTS Ricky from ringside! The fans boo but Ethan just mockingly waves bye-bye. Ricky warns Ethan, the fans chant, “Ref, You Suck!” but NXT goes to break.

NXT returns and Lexis ROCKS Wes. Lexis reels Wes in, but Ethan BOOTS Lexis down! Ethan then scoops Wes to SLAM him onto Lexis! Ethan then THROWS Lexis into Eddy! Ethan drags Lexis up, but Lexis slips free of the Canadian Rack! Lexis grabs the arms, crosses them, then reels Ethan in, but Ethan trips Lexis up! Ethan turns Lexis over, BOSTON CRAB!

Wes runs up, Ethan ducks the lariat, but then Eddy YANKS Wes outta the ring! Eddy clamps onto Lexis with a CROSSFACE!!

Ethan has an Electric Chair, then he has Eddy in a facelock! But Wes goes up, up, and CANNONBALLS onto a DOOMSDAY DDT COMBO!! The fans are going nuts all over again while all four men are down! But then Ethan crawls to cover Eddy while Wes crawls to cover Lexis! Double covers, TWO!!

Cover, Lexis YANKS Wes up! CORONATION!! But Ethan has Lexis! TWISTED GRIN!! Cover, ETHAN WINS!

Winner: Ethan Page, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the NXT North American Championship)

Ethan smirks as he takes advantage of this golden opportunity. Ethan grabs a mic to say, “Well, I guess that makes me the man then, huh?” The fans are torn but Ethan says he is the #1 contender. Ethan knows he isn’t the guy Ricky wanted to win, and he has every right to believe that. Because everyone remembers their first. And the first championship in WWE for Ricky was ruined by Ethan Page! At Stand & Deliver, Ricky’s first title defense will also be ruined by- RICKY SPEARS ETHAN!! No more ringside ban, and the champ gets some payback! But will Las Vegas be absolute? Or will All Ego’s ego only expand exponentially this Saturday?

 

Jordynne Grace speaks.

“What you see today as The Juggernaut, multiple time TNA Knockouts Champion, this wasn’t how I started. I wasn’t scouted, I never had ‘star power,’ never really been a beauty queen. If it were possible to have negative aura, that is who I was. I was just a little girl wrestling in half-empty gyms, trying to find a place to fit in a world that didn’t seem built for me. I knew what people saw, or really rather what they didn’t see. But something I did have that not a lot of people in wrestling do, is self-awareness. So I finally stopped wishing that I had what I was supposed to have, and started building what I could become.

“I turned insecurity into intensity, doubt into discipline, and that was the day The Juggernaut was born. I fell in love with getting stronger. I became laser focused into building my body into an atomic bomb. Waking up at 3AM to train, jumping into a car to drive 8 hours to wrestle, hit another gym session after that, then sleep two hours and do it all over again the next day. And as hard as that was, I was obsessed with it. It was a way that I could stand out against all the other women. And to me, it was the only way. I wanted the WWE Universe to say, ‘Yeah, the WWE women are killing it, but have you seen Jordynne Grace over in TNA? That’s Jordynne Grace!?’

“I’ve put in the work so that no one could ignore me. I forced my way into the conversation and made people believe in The Juggernaut the way I believed in myself. Now, the biggest hurdle of my career is right in front of me this Saturday, when I have the opportunity to become NXT Women’s Champion. And just like I’ve been my entire career, I’m aware of exactly what I’m gonna have to do to leave Vegas with my first WWE championship.” Jordynne is ready, but will Grace survive in Sin City?

 

The NXT Women’s Division holds another watch party.

Sol Ruca asks Zaria who she thinks will take the last two spots in the Women’s North American Championship Ladder Match. Zaria isn’t sure, but it won’t matter when the outcome will be the same. Sol agrees there, because it’ll be one of them as the champ. Oh, really? Doesn’t Sol mean Zaria? Kelani Jordan hears this and takes offense. She thought #ZaRuca was fine. Uh, they are. New shirts and everything, thanks for asking. Well, it won’t be either of them, because Kelani’s going to be a TWO-TIME Women’s North American Champion. And she’ll show everyone why no one can do it like Lan- Izzi Dame interjects.

Izzi says good one, idiots. But y’know who Izzi misses these days? The old Kelani. She was way more likeable. Old Kelani, new Kelani, it won’t matter when Izzi’s the one on top of the ladder, holding the title, and bringing it home to The Culling. Keep dreaming, Izzi, it’ll never happen. Those two both head out, and Sol says it’s just like she said, either her or Zaria will walk out as champion. Zaria says sure, something like that. But to the point, who will get the remaining spots and fill out the six pack?

 

NXT Women’s North American Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: Tatum Paxley w/ Gigi Dolin VS Lola Vice!

The weird girls are hungry for some gold, but so is the MMA Mamacita! Will Tatum take over? Or will there be a Vice in Sin City?

PLAY BY PLAY

Gunther is here!

Sacramento boos Der Ring General as he storms to the ring. Michael Cole was going to interview the World Heavyweight Champion later tonight, but it seems Gunther wants to get to it. Gunther and Cole meet in the ring, Cole says two weeks ago, he left Jimmy Uso bloodied in this ring. That caused Jey Uso to march out here last week- Gunther cuts Cole off to says that last week, Jey walked out here, looked Gunther in the eyes, and claimed he’s not afraid anymore. The fans boo as Gunther says this week, he is here to look us all in the eyes to tell us that Jey Uso is full of crap! Cole understands the fans are upset, but speaking of that, it seems Gunther is also upset.

We saw last year at WrestleMania, when… The fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and Gunther says screw the questions! Screw Jey Uso! Screw everything Jey stands for! And screw everybody who stands with Jey! The fans boo more, and Gunther says ever since he stepped for in the WWE, he is the greatest gift this company has ever received! For 80% of his time in the WWE, he has been a champion! And now, he is the GREATEST World Heavyweight Champion of all time! The fans boo more, but Gunther says he refuses to let somebody like Jey Uso ruin that for him. The fans “YEET!” more and he says fine, do it as much as you want!

Gunther tells Jey to puff his chest out, walk into WrestleMania with the most confidence he’s ever had, because it won’t matter! In the end, the bell has to ring! And when that happens, Jey still can’t lace Gunther’s boots! Gunther will put Jey down for a FOURTRH time! These last two weeks, Gunther has been accused, told he went too far, that he lost control. Jey, trust one thing: In 37 years of LIFE, Gunther has never lost control! The fans chant “You Suck! You Suck!” Gunther says two weeks ago, when he took a bath in Jimmy’s blood, Gunther was in full control, and he LOVED it!

And Jey, go pray to the Lord, thank Him for how Gunther was in control, or else he would’ve drowned them both in Jimmy’s blood! Gunther looks forward to next week, calling his mother and telling her how much he enjoyed beating the living hell out of Jey, and is STILL World Heavyweight Champion! Gunther storms off, having done his part for tonight. Will nothing and no one stop Der Ring General from destroying Jey?

 

Bianca Belair speaks.

“I’ll be the first to admit that lately, I’ve been in my head. Everything that’s happened with Jade and Naomi, it really messed me up. And now, this whole situation with Iyo and Rhea has brought out a different version of me. But different isn’t wrong. My Road to WrestleMania has filled with nothing but blood, sweat and tears. Not no complaining, no whining, no excuses. No, just straight facts. I’ve been doing nothing but standing up for myself and speaking the truth, something that anybody would do. Something I would hope people are teaching their kids to do. And you don’t have to like the truth, but you can’t deny it.

“Just like I can’t deny now it’s a Triple Threat. Yeah, I’ve been through a lot. But I’m still the best. So I’ma use the bit of everything that I’ve been through to be the Bianca I know I can be. I’m the Bianca that won Elimination Chamber, I’m the Bianca that’s never been pinned at WrestleMania, and I’m the strongest, the fastest, the roughest, the toughest, the quickest, the greatest, the best Bianca that you have ever seen. So it doesn’t matter if it’s a Triple Threat, because there’s nothing that Rhea or Iyo can do to stop me from getting my flowers and walking out of WrestleMania as champion. Because you cannot spell WrestleMania without E S T.”

The Role Model and the Morrigan ran the table on Friday Night SmackDown’s tag team gauntlet, and now they’re going to WrestleMania!

Paul Heyman waits backstage.

And like usual, he’s waiting on The Tribal Chief. Will Roman Reigns even bother with The Wise Man knowing he’ll be in CM Punk’s corner at WrestleMania?

 

Rhea Ripley speaks.

“Bianca, I can see right through you. You said you were just out there to watch, and then you said you were just out there to call it down the middle. But I can see your true intentions now: You thrive on playing with my emotions, winding me up like I’m some sort of toy to you so you can get what you want and make it seem like I’m the bad guy. The thing that you failed to understand is that when I lose something that I love, I wills top at nothing to get it back. And Iyo, I never had to give you a championship match. But watching you pout and moan, it really pulled on the heartstrings that I had left. So I pulled a page out of your book, and I got what I wanted, too.

“So Iyo, I advise you to cherish every single moment you have with the Women’s World Championship. And Bianca, I can’t wait to make you feel what it’s like when I’m the bad guy. Because at WrestleMania 41, I get back what belongs to me.”

 

Rey Mysterio w/ The LWO VS Julius Creed w/ Team American Made!

Before going up against the supposed greatest luchador of a generation, El Grande Americano, the King of Lucha will take on one of the Creed Brothers. But is this going to be far more than just a tune-up? Or will Rey speed-dial the 619 here in Sacramento?

Raw returns and American Made has made their entrance. The bell rings, Rey and Julius circle, then Rey waistlocks. Julius backs Rey into a corner, the ref counts, and Rey lets go.

The fans boo, but now Grande goes up top! DIVING HEADBUTT onto Rey! “UH GRACIAS~!” That mask is definitely loaded like last week, but will Rey be able to overcome that tactic and win for the honor of true lucha libre?

 

The War Raiders speak.

Ivar says, “Xavier, Kofi, you run your mouths about how the New Day is the greatest tag team of all time.” Erik says, “The fact of the matter is, the War Raiders have blazed a path of world domination for more than a decade. We’ve won gold on multiple continents.” “And last week, we had you beat, dead to rights.” The New Day took the cowardly way out because they knew they couldn’t beat the Raiders. The New Day says this is about the titles, but it has gotten much more personal. Kofi & Woods took this to a whole new level. They didn’t come for these titles, they came for Erik’s neck! They tried to put Erik on the shelf! They tried to end his career!

So at WrestleMania, this won’t be a match! It’ll barely be a fight! This is WAR!

 

The New Day is backstage.

They’re busy playing the Clash of Clans WWE crossover game, not that they’re in it. But Jackie Redmond walks over to talk with them. The New Day says that is rude, they’re busy playing a game. This lack of respect is audacious. Jackie does apologize, but she brings up the War Raiders saying that this match at Mania is now a war. War? New Day’s been in war from how they’ve been treated this whole time! The whole time! But the warpath stops when they take back what belongs to them, and that’s their WWE World Tag Team Championships! The entire world will see that ya bois, the NEW DAY~, are the best team on the face of Planet Earth!

Last week was just a taste of what they’re willing to do to get those titles back. And after Mania, Erik will wish they took his head off so that he and Ivar wouldn’t have to catch the beating they’re getting this weekend. At WrestleMania, every irrelevant and immature member of the WWE Universe will have no choice but to drop to their knees and THANK GOD for the New Day! Woods & Kofi head out, but will they survive this WrestleMania weekend?

 

AJ Styles VS Karrion Kross w/ Scarlett Bordeaux!

Before taking on The Maverick, Logan Paul, at WrestleMania, the Phenomenal One is going to prove to Mr. & Mrs. Doomsday that this AJ Styles IS the AJ Styles that can get the job done! Does that mean Raw is going to be Too Sweet? Or will Kross be disappointed?

Raw returns as Kross makes his entrance, his femme fatale by his side. Kross is really taking this mirroring stuff to another level, wearing tights very similar to what Styles would wear. Kross still wants Styles to understand, Styles has to be like the Styles of the past in order to finally humble Logan Paul and save professional wrestling. Styles gets mad, but Kross shoves him! Styles RAMS Kross into the corner, RAMS him again and again, but lets off as the ref counts. Styles storms back up, whips corner to corner, but Kross reverses. Kross runs up, but Styles BOOTS him away. Kross comes back to BOOT Styles down!

The fans boo but Kross stomps Styles around. Kross talks trash, but Styles KICKS Kross! And CHOPS! Kross YANKS Styles into ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Kross says it doesn’t have to be this way, but he lets off as the ref pulls him back. Scarlett CLAWS at Styles’ face in the distraction! The fans boo but Kross stomps Styles. Kross drags Styles up, but Styles JAWBREAKERS back! Styles runs up, but into a SAIDO! The fans boo, Kross stalks Styles to a corner, then he stomps away. Kross whips corner to corner hard, and Styles clutches his ribs as he falls. Kross laughs at Styles’ pain, then stomps him more.

Kross drags Styles up, but Styles DRPOKICKS Kross down! The fans cheer, Kross bails out, and Styles slides to DROPKICK! Kross hits barriers, then Styles PLANCHAS! Kross moves, Styles lands safe on the apron, but Kross sweeps the legs! Kross then whips Styles hard into barriers! Styles almost falls onto that guy cosplaying the Prime bottle. Kross whips Styles hard into more barriers, and Styles falls into the timekeeper’s area! Scarlett kisses Kross’ hand while he soaks up heat, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns Kross has a chinlock. Styles fights up, fires body shots, but Kross KNEES low! Kross scoops and hits a BACKBREAKER! Kross scoops again, but Styles slips free! Styles goes for a leg but Kross stifles that and shoves Styles to a cover, TWO! Kross drags Styles up, reels him in, but Styles fights the bomb! Kross stops the rana, fireman’s carries, FINAL PRAYER! Cover, TWO!! Styles survives but Kross asks if Styles is sandbagging. Kross looms over Styles, the fans rally up, and Kross smirks as Styles rises. Kross swings, but Styles counter punches! And counter punches! And CHOPS, CHOPS, KICKS!

Styles KICKS Kross again, then whips. Kross hobbles then falls over, clutching his knee! The fans boo, thinking this is an act. Scarlett checks Kross as he clutches the ankle. Styles asks the ref about this, but then Kross sucker punches Styles! It WAS an act, and the fans boo that Kross got away with it! Kross shimmies and shuffles, then taunts Styles. Styles runs up to CLOBBER Kross! Styles fires off the PHENOMENAL BLITZ! SLIDING FOREARM! The fans fire up, Styles runs in at the corner to LARIAT Kross! Fireman’s carry, but Kross slips free! Kick and DDT! Kross vows to end it, and the fans boo as Kross throws off his elbow pad.

Styles rises as Kross winds the hands of time. KROSS- NO, Styles ducks the hammer and fireman’s carries! USHIGOROSHI! Kross hobbles, Styles runs up, but Kross puts him on the apron! Styles HOTSHOTS Kross, then DECKS him! The fans fire up, Kross rises, PHENOMENAL FOREARM! Cover, Styles wins!

Winner: AJ Styles, by pinfall

Kross put Styles to the test, and that was definitely Styles acing that test! But then Logan Paul appears! Sacramento boos Logan as he walks out with mic in hand. Logan asks what’s up with the hostility. Chill, he’s here to congratulate Styles. No, seriously, good win! He did it! In front of Sacramento, “a bunch of people who weren’t cool enough to live in Los Angeles, or work smart enough to live in San Francisco.” But Styles showed these “generic California losers” why Styles VS Logan is gonna cook! But hey, why not show them why it’ll make money? Here is what Styles is up against. Please enjoy this piece of cinema.

Logan has his own hype video package, “I accomplish more in one weekend than you all will in your entire lives. I didn’t join the WWE to take part, I joined to take over.” Styles grabs a mic to say that’s a cute video, smartass. But let’s start Mania earlier! Get your ass to the ring right now! The fans fire up for that! Logan says okay, and he steps closer. But Kross runs up on Styles! Styles ROCKS Kross, ROCKS Logan, repeat! Styles DECKS Logan, ROCKS him again, btu Kross scoops! Styles slips free, REVERSE DDT! Styles snarls at Kross, but Logan is up! ONE LUCKY RIGHT!! Then the PAUL-VERIZER!! The Maverick is feeling so “humble,” but will he be humbled at Mania?

 

Paul Heyman is still waiting…

Will he be waiting all night at this rate?

 

Jey Uso is here!

The fans fire up as Main Event Jey pops right through the curtain to walk down the bleachers. Sacramento bounces for him and they “YEET!” along with the song, but Jey is once again very serious. Jey goes to the ground level, but then stands on the desk for everyone to see him. Jey grabs the mic while the bouncing continues, and the fans cheer as the song dies down. Jey takes a breath, fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and chant “One More Time! One More Time!” Jey says okay, and the song starts up again! The bouncing starts up again, and then Jey paces as he waits for the music to die down.

“Aight, check it. I said what I had to say to Gunther last week.” “YEET!” “But I really wanted to come out here and holler at y’all.” “YEET!” Jey says what up, Sac Town! Mama out here somewhere in the crowd. But everyone keeps on asking Jey, “Jey, where your mind at?” Is he crashing out? HELL YEAH he’s crashing out! But he’s locked in! Locked in for him! For his family! And for y’all! Check it out, though. Listen to Gunther out here talking. Y’know what that made Jey feel like? He mad. Nah nah nah… Gunther’s afraid! Yeah, Gunther’s afraid! Afraid that Jey will whoop that ass in front of 60 THOUSAND and the world! See you Saturday, Uce!

Jey says one time for the one time… Hey, Uce, please, PLEASE hit his music! UH UH, YEET!! The fans fire up as the bouncing starts up yet again! Jey has all the confidence, all the fire, all the momentum. But will he have it all when it’s all said and done in Las Vegas?

 

Backstage interview with Bron Breakker.

Cathy Kelley is with the Badass WWE Intercontinental Champion and brings up this Sunday, the Fatal 4 Way that stacks the odds against him. How is he handling what could be the biggest defense of his career? Bron says obviously, this is the biggest match of his career. And- JUDGMENT DAY ATTACKS! Finn Balor, Dominik Mysterio & Carlito mug Bron! They stomp him around, then THROW him onto a road case! They still rain down fists, and Finn says the dog’s bark is worse than his bite! They CHUCK Bron into more road cases! Adam Pearce and producers storm in and stop The Judgment Day, but will Bron be alright in just 6 days?

As for Finn, he has a match to get to! Will The Prince be ready for #CeroMiedo?

PENTA VS Finn Balor!

Raw returns and Finn makes his entrance, only for Penta to DROPKICK him off the apron! Penta then FLIES and takes Finn down! Penta strikes first since Finn did that to Bron, and the fans love it! Penta puts Finn in the ring, then storms in after him. The bell rings, the fans fire up as Penta runs up, but Finn puts him on the apron. Penta GAMANGIRIS, then goes up, up, and CROSSBODIES! Cover, TWO! Finn kicks Penta low, then brings Penta around. Penta WRINGS free, then traps that arm! But Finn trips Penta! Penta BOOTS Finn away, then pump handles!

Finn keeps Penta down with an ELBOW, then a chinlock. Finn grinds Penta down, Penta endures, and the fans rally. Penta fights up, but Finn yanks the mask!

Finn goes back to Penta and says “Just Too Sweet!” They go to the apron, and Penta scoops! Finn slips free, and APRON EYE OF THE HURRICANE! Both men are down on the outside while Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Finn has Penta up top! And then the very top! SUPER DUPER PLEX! Cover, TWO!! Penta stays in this and the fans fire up! Finn grows frustrated, but he clamps onto an arm for a FUJIWARA ARMBAR! The fans rally up, Penta fights to his feet, and Penta fires hands. Penta arm-drags free, then ducks ‘n ‘dodges, for a RANA! Finn flounders up, Penta LARIATS! And LARIATS! The fans fire up again as Penta then SUPERKICKS Finn! Finn wobbles, Penta whips, but Finn reverses, only for Penta to go up and over! BACKSTABBER!

Iyo Sky speaks.

“This message is for Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley. You keep forgetting that I’M the Women’s World Champion. You push me out of the way of your petty squabbles like I mean nothing. But I’m the whole reason you’re fighting in the first place, aren’t I? Because I have the one thing you both want: The Women’s World Championship! So, I’m done being ignored. I’m done being forgotten. Because you have to go through ME to get this title, and I’m not afraid to take you both on to defend it. I’ve beaten both of you before, and I’ll beat you again! At WrestleMania, you will never forget the name Iyo Sky, Women’s World Champion.”

 

Paul Heyman is still waiting, but CM Punk joins him!

Punk sits down with a coffee and says he’s never seen The Wise Man so stressed. Look in his eyes, what do you see? The Cult of Personality? No, a real friend. A friend who would never do anything to put Heyman in harm’s way. But then a car is pulling up. It’s ROMAN! Roman sees Punk and Heyman being buddy-buddy, and he storms off! Heyman tries to catch up to his Tribal Chief, but Roman won’t even look at him. Will this favor cause the break-up of Roman and Heyman?

Roman goes to the ring!

The fans cheer and put the ones up as The OTC makes his entrance, Wise Man trailing behind. What will happen with Roman, Heyman, Punk, and Seth Rollins, all in the building this close to WrestleMania? We find out, after the break.

Raw returns rather quickly, and Roman is now in the ring. He raises his finger up for the pyro and the fans cheer. Heyman has the mic while the fans chant “O T C! O T C!” Heyman tentatively holds it out for Roman, but Roman doesn’t take it! Roman gets a mic for himself, leaving Heyman a bit dismayed, but the cheering continues. Roman tells, “Sacramento…! ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” The fans cheer and put up the ones as they cheer on “O T C! O T C!” Roman says, “The whole world can feel that. The whole world can hear that you love and acknowledge your Tribal Chief. And now the whole world understands that you would never betray your Tribal Chief.

“But not everybody’s like you. Some people would betray me. Sacramento, you got any guesses on who that might be?” Obviously it’s Heyman that Roman is referring to, but Roman asks The Wise Man, “How could you betray me?” The fans tell Heyman he messed up. Roman says Heyman can’t hear that well, say it louder. The fans get louder with it, and Heyman is a bit surly about that. Heyman goes to talk, but he reconsiders. Roman still asks him why, and Heyman is at a loss for words. The fans boo, but some do chant for “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Roman smirks as Heyman finally says, “My Tribal Chief… It was not a betrayal. I paid back a favor that I owed.”

Roman doesn’t seem to like that answer, but he still smirks. Sacramento, maybe Roman’s a little confused here, but the way favors work is, you usually pay it back yourself, correct? The fans say yes. Roman says it feels the only one getting screwed here is him! And if there’s one thing about Roman Reigns, if there’s one thing about The Tribal Chief, it’s that he’d never ask for a favor. No, Roman takes what he wants! So Roman doesn’t owe a favor, because he never asked for any help, for anyone to join him at WarGames, so how is he supposed to cover the tab for Heyman’s dumbass favor? But now, “BURN IT DOWN!”

Seth Rollins makes his way out, and Roman is no longer in any good mood as the fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins struts out in a leather vest and black pants that both have a lot of pockets. Rollins steps into the ring, grabs himself a mic, and the fans continue to sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins tells Sacramento, “Let’s give it up for Your Tribal Chief! Because after over a decade, you’re finally getting it, man! You’re finally putting the pieces together all by yourself! You’re almost there, you’re just missing one little piece, and it’s a real shame it’s too little, it’s too late, cuz I still gotta end you at WrestleMania.”

Rollins says it is for the same reason that it always has been: It’s the right thing to do! This Triple Threat at WrestleMania is the BIGGEST, most IMPORTANT one in the history of Mania, of the WWE, of professional wrestling! Because the winner of this match will define the future of this industry. And it can’t be Roman, it can’t be Punk. Because this business is filled with people like Roman, people who show up when it is convenient, expecting everyone else to do all the work. That’s how this business dies! Roman finally sees it can’t be Punk, either.

This business is filled with too many “little Punks” running around who wanna pick up their ball and go home when it gets tough, only to come back and leech off the profits of other people’s success, and that’s how this business dies! The fans chant for Punk but Rollins says okay, they want this business to die? Rollins doesn’t! If there are more people in this business like Rollins, who always sacrifices physical and mental well-being to do what is best for business, then the business not only lives, but it thrives! There can be only one, and it’s gotta be Rollins.

As for that one little piece that Roman hasn’t quite figured out… “Favors don’t happen by chance, Roman. Favors are a choice. I chose not to put Paul Heyman in the hospital last week, and now Paul Heyman can choose whether or not he pays that debt to me. But your Wise Man, he is dishonorable as they come, he is a scumbag, and I expect nothing from him.” The fans boo and Heyman frowns, but Rollins says Heyman is not in CM Punk’s corner by chance. Heyman has made a choice. It isn’t just a betrayal, Roman. What Roman needs to ask himself, what that final piece is, Heyman isn’t just returning a favor, he’s choosing. So why is Heyman choosing Punk over Roman?

Heyman tells Roman he’s not doing that, but Roman seems to be thinking Rollins has a point. Roman tells The Wise Man that Rollins is right, Heyman made his choice. But Roman has made his. LARIAT FOR ROLLINS! The fans fire up as Roman then POSTS Rollins! Rollins flops out of the ring, Heyman is very pleased, and he says he acknowledges his Tribal Chief! Roman nods, but then he PIE FACES Heyman!? Heyman is stunned, but here comes CM Punk! The fans fire up as Punk runs down to the ring, and he dodges Roman to fire hands! The fans fire up as they brawl, and then Punk LARIATS Roman up and out!

The fans are torn as Punk helps Heyman up. Heyman is distraught, but Roman is back! SPEAR for Punk!! Roman HAMMERS away on Punk! Roman shouts at Punk, HEADBUTTS him, but then Rollins returns! And with a chair! SMACK to the back of Roman Reigns, just like the night it all started! Sacramento is all fired up, and Rollins hits a CURB STOMP on Punk! And then CURB STOMP on Roman! Heyman is freaking out as both his guys are down! Rollins stares Heyman down, is Rollins’ favor going to come into play after all?


My Thoughts:

A great Raw, especially for the go-home to WrestleMania. Great promo from Gunther with how he “doesn’t wait” for the proper interview with Michael Cole, and very good response promo from Jey. Gunther definitely sounds a bit on edge, and considering he might lose two WrestleManias in a row as the start of his WrestleMania career, I suppose I would be, too. And very good promos from Bianca, Rhea & Iyo to hype up their match, though I can’t say that changes anything for the go-home math. Iyo stood tall last time, so there’s a chance Rhea or Bianca take the other out to get the win. Rhea and Bianca talking about who’s the bad guy in this, could we see Bianca go Heel?

Good promo from War Raiders and New Day, but unless they add a stipulation, I don’t necessarily see this being “a war” of a match. Well, maybe they can break something like ringside barriers. But I feel like New Day is going to win so that this Heel turn has actual results. Very good match from Bayley VS Liv, but Bayley winning here surely indicates Liv & Raquel retain. Rey VS Julius was really good, but the LWO and American Made all being ejected, that of course meant El Grande Americano would show up. Rey wins here, but then El Grande stands tall, so I would think Rey wins at Mania to expose Grande as Gable.

Very good match from Styles VS Kross, and naturally Styles won. That along with Logan & Kross getting the better of Styles after, this has to mean Styles wins at Mania. I don’t think it’s possible to get anything Bullet Club related, but WWE works with TNA pretty closely now so maybe they can use one of Styles’ themes from TNA to really bring us back to “the Styles that can beat Logan Paul.” Very good stuff with the Men’s Intercontinental Championship build, with Bron being jumped by Judgment Day, then Judgment Day trying to cost Penta, only for Bron to actually cost Penta and give Finn the win. Penta standing tall now sadly might cross him off, but I personally do think Dom pinning Finn or Finn pinning Dom is the better route going forward.

And of course, great stuff with the Punk-Rollins-Reigns story. Heyman finding himself stuck between Roman and Punk, with Roman starting to distance himself from Heyman, that’s also very good stuff going forward. Rollins stands tall again, so not sure if that means he takes the loss or is just not in the decision. No matter who wins, Heyman no longer being Roman’s manager is the best move. Roman needs to do things on his own again, and Heyman can reunite with Punk and perhaps help Punk towards a title. Punk did say that he’d be coming for THE WWE Championship at some point, Heyman by his side for that like 10 years ago would be something.

My Score: 8.8/10
