PLAY BY PLAY
Trick Williams is here!
The NXT faithful go nuts for the NEW NXT Champion walking out to the ring. “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” echoes out and Booker T gets his “Aw yeah man!” while Trick gets the mic. Trick shouts out Booker with “I like it!” Trick says he loves the juice in here! And check it out, let’s get to business. He talked about this, he dreamt about this, he prayed for this, and they all wanted this! Trick IS the new NXT Champion! The fans chant “You Deserve It!” and Trick says there are a lot of people he helped him get here, who he could thank right now, but there is one person he’ll focus on tonight. That is Ilja Dragunov.
As everyone knows, Trick and Dragunov have gone to war multiple times, Dragunov pushed Trick to levels he didn’t know he had. Trick looks into the camera to tell Dragunov, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me and my career. Straight up. Thank you for everything you did for NXT, and I think I speak on behalf of everybody when I say, Dragunov, do your thing, dog. Raw just got a good one.” The fans cheer for Dragunov and Trick says as for NXT, they’re entering a new era! And he’s been thinking for a long long time. Let’s call this the Whoop Dat Era! The fans work out the “WHOOP DAT ERA!” chant.
Trick guarantees in this era, they will continue to break records and make history. Wait, here comes Meta Four… Lash Legend lets out a long SKRRRR~, then says congrats to Tricky. She just had to come out here and let him know, he did his thang! And oh, guess what? What? Trick is now the NEW NXT Champion. Let’s talk about it~! Trick helps the lady out as Lash joins Trick in the ring, and she fans herself with a big manila folder. Lash says Trick is a gentleman. And not only that, but the hottest superstar here in NXT. So she knows he’s feeling himself and has the entire NXT & WWE Universe behind him.
Okay, whoa, whoa, hold on now, Miss Legend. Let’s not act like last time they met, she didn’t try and smack him. Now, he’s got gold on his waist and she wants a taste? The fans fire up but Lash tells Trick to not even go there. Oh no, he knows her type! She thinks Trick his little Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, huh? She wants to take the gold wrapping off to get at the chocolate inside, don’t she? The fans fire up for that, too! Lash tells Mr. Trick that he should know, she don’t like Reese’s, she likes KitKats. The fans chant “He’s Got Bars!” and he says he’ll break her off a piece. Lash fans herself off again and tells Trick to wait a minute! That’s enough!
This is Trick’s problem. He’s go this head in the clouds, not focused, but she’s got something for him right here. The envelope? Does Meta Four want something autographed? Lash sighs and says close. What is in the envelope is the truth. Well, stop playing, what’s in it? Fans chant “Who’s Your Daddy!” Lash tells Trick that all jokes aside, he should enjoy his title run while he can. Because soon, it will come all crashing down. Then things will get really, really hot. Lash has given the champ an ultimatum, but just what is she playing at?
Arianna Grace and Gigi Dolin are out to dinner.
The Pageant Queen says this is their formal Spring Breakin’ dinner, and Gigi will learn fine dining etiquette. Good, cuz Gigi is starving! Arianna says when they dine out, they don’t talk like that. They are filling their stomachs. “Giorgina” must remember, they’re ladies. Well, we aren’t gonna see that tonight with NXT Underground. Natalya and Lola Vice are gonna beat the living crap outta each other! Flying kicks from all angles! Giorgina, please, your voice travels. Now, when drinking, you take a small sip. They sip, but Gigi makes it a chug. Feel the water lower your temperature. Gigi burps and says that’s good water.
Arianna is so appalled! The last thing she’ll allow is Gigi to become a savage! Well, a savage could become the new NXT North American Champion as Ivar challenges Oba Femi in a big hoss fight! Big, meaty men slappin’ meat! Arianna says while waiting for appetizers, what do they do if there are invited guests? Duh, take ’em out! Send ’em back where they came from! Absolutely not! Combat never solves anything. Use words, not fists. Well, tell that to Nathan Frazer & Axiom as they stand their ground against the Authors of Pain. But them putting up a fight may not matter if AOP gets their way.
Arianna says on to silverware. Start outward and move inward. Never cut with a fork, and when you do cut, only take what you need. Cutting food like stabbing someone in the back. Gigi really hopes Thea Hail serves Jacy Jayne a cold dish of revenge! More positively, they have a new NXT Champion and the brand is on fire. Let’s toast to our new champion, Trick Williams, the amazing opportunities for this roster, and Arianna for guiding Gigi on to be a true beauty pageant queen! Gigi chugs again and finishes her glass. Don’t do it, Gigi. Don’t! BURP! Gigi’s feeling good, but who will be feeling worse for wear after tonight’s brutal Spring Breakin’ finale?
NXT North American Championship: Oba Femi VS Ivar!
Just as Gigi said, The Ruler must turn away the Viking Raider’s invasion! Oba and Trick exchange a look as they pass by on the ramp. Will they both still reign after tonight? Or is Ivar going to bring Ragnarök to NXT?

That leg is all better, and he’s looking to take back the title he never lost! Will Wes’ David take down Oba’s Goliath? Or will nothing stop Oba from throwing Wes right back out of NXT?
Thea Hail, Chase U and Fallon Henley head for gorilla.
Thea is all fired up to finally kick Jacy Jayne’s toxic ass! Fallon will be out there with her, right? The Cowgirl says sorry, but no. She can’t get in Thea’s way anymore, because it just feels like everyone else is right. Fallon just keeps getting in other people’s business, meddling where she shouldn’t, and then, Kiana James and Blair Davenport get drafted instead of her, what good is she? Thea tells Fallon not to think like that. She’s perfect the way she is! Don’t let bullies like Jaida Parker get in her head! Please be out there for her against Jacy? The others say how can Fallon say no to Thea? Okay, okay, Fallon will be with her.
The music hits, and it’s go time! They come out from the Student Section with everyone throwing up the U~! Will Thea finally put Jacy in her place? Or will the mean girls continue to get their way?

NXT Media interviews Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont.
They make their NXT TV debut, but how’d they meet? Tyriek says he and “The Brick” Tyson met in junior college, competing against each. Tyson Dupont is THE strongest man in NXT, and that’s saying something with all the strong men in NXT. Tyson moved to the States from Haiti when he was just 9 years old, and he’s been chasing greatness ever since. Tyson has gone viral over his hammer throws. But don’t let his smile fool you, either. Tyson says Tyriek is the smartest guy he knows, and proudly calls himself a nerd. Tyriek says of course he’s a nerd! But when he’s not clean ‘n’ jerking weights, he’s hitting the books, studying medicine and anatomy! Tyriek finds the human body’s musculature fascinating.
But now, they will push themselves and each other while they push their way up the ranks. We see Ty & Ty debut tonight, will this soon be NXTy?
Natalya and Karmen warm up.
The Queen of Harts is looking good, and throws some hands. Looking good, but now to block kicks. Karmen kicks, Natty uses her shin to check. Okay, roundhouses now. Get that arm up! Good block each time. Karmen is sure Natty is ready, and Natty vows to break Lola Vice. But who will stand tall when there’s no ropes and no holding back in the Underground?
Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont VS The Good Brothers!
We just heard from the newest duo that’s Leveled Up, and they’ve definitely been impressive. However, they’re up against Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson, who have held tag titles everywhere they’ve ever been! Will the NXT TV debut be ruined? Or will it be Just Too Sweet?

The Machine Gun & Big LG shoot down these #TYgers on their debut night! Is that prove that The OC are up next for those NXT Tag Team Championships?
Ava Raine walks ‘n’ talks on the phone.
She tells Adam Pearce that she knows tonight is a big night after a crazy weekend with the Draft. But she has to go now, she has a big announcement. She says bye, hangs up, and is headed to gorilla. What news is the NXT General Manager about to drop on the world?
NXT recaps the WWE Draft.
Electric energy, a night that could change lives, and even HHH’s own favorite part of this. Carmelo Hayes to SmackDown, he made big moves night one. Bron Breakker moved to Raw, and Kiana James herself was chosen to Raw. a moment she’ll remember forever. Then Ilja Dragunov was chosen just last night to go to Raw, as was Lyra Valkyria. SmackDown then took Blair Davenport, and this moment is everything she’s ever wanted. Dijak is also on his way back to Raw via the supplemental rounds. Even the coaches had goosebumps, seeing those they helped here going on to Raw and SmackDown is their WrestleMania moment. The future of WWE has never been better!
Ava Raine is in the ring.
Fans cheer as the NXT GM is here, and Ava has the mic to say that as GM, nothing makes her prouder than when our NXT superstars finally get to showcase their talents on Raw & SmackDown. And they will be dearly missed, but NXT has to keep pushing forward. And she can’t help but wonder, who will step up to take their place? Because coming up is a massive opportunity on Sunday, June 9th, NXT Battleground in the UFC Apex. There, we will crown the INAUGURAL NXT Women’s North American Champion! And that champion will be crowned the same way as the men’s: IN A LADDER MATCH!
Beginning next week, our women’s division will compete in a combine, and the 12 that impress the most will then have qualifying matches. The six winners then move on to the title match! Ava’s said it once, she’ll say it again, the NXT Women’s Division is the BEST division in ALL of professional wrestling. Battleground is just another chance to showcase that. But then here comes Jaida Parker. She says that is big news! But if you want to see your next history maker, Jaida is her. Go ahead, have this combine, but she’ll demolish every woman in that locker room! And she promises us, she won’t even break a sweat. She’ll be the only one climbing the ladder and-
Sol Ruca is here! And she wants Jaida to hold on just one second. There’s one thing Miss Parker isn’t missing: confidence. Just look at her! But y’know, there is one thing that she won’t have: the NXT Women’s North American Championship! But you’ll find Sol at the top of the leaderboards, and on top of the ladder in Vegas. Jaida says don’t play. Wait, wait, Arianna Grace is coming out here? And she tells the ladies to keep their decorum. Why must they be so aggressive? And really, Ava? A ladder match? Bodies flying from all over, all at different heights? Why can’t they just decide it by simply- Getting interrupted by MIA YIM!!
Jaida and Sol are actually excited to see the Head Baddie In Charge back in NXT! And she tells “Princess” Arianna to hold up. Did someone say ladders? The fans cheer for “MICHIN! MICHIN!” Mia says she’s got unfinished business back in her old stomping grounds. Now, ever since Ava announced the Women’s NA Title, it has been the talk of the whole WWE. And best believe, she wants in on this! Arianna says O M Goodness! It is so nice to meet you, Mia! She’s Arianna Grace, and it deeply pains her to have to relay this unfortunate news. But Mia is disqualified- MIA DECKS ARIANNA! Sol and Jaida fire off, and then ALL the women of the roster rush out!
The fans go wild for the free for all, but refs rush in to stop this! Arianna says this is a a mad house! A MAD HOUSE! But who out of this chaos will be the deserving dozen that then fight for those six golden tickets to Las Vegas?
Nathan Frazer & Axiom warm up backstage.
And in walks The Street Profits to say what up! Whoa, Axiom looking focused! Really, Tez? How can you tell? Axiom says they have to stay focused, because tonight they are the underdog champions against AOP. Ford & Dawkins know what that’s like. AOP are large boulders that run into you. The Profits have been facing those boys from NXT all the way to WrestleMania. It’s gonna hurt, boys. Ford says Dawks is right. Tonight may hurt, but guess what? Axiom & Frazer will show the world why they belong. AOP has every advantage but one: they don’t have the heart! Just like the Profits were talking about, just always remember…
They huddle up, and Ford says, “Never slow down.” The champs like that! Ford says he watches the product! They all shake hands and hug it out. Will the Profits be right that Axiom & Frazer will use the powers of heart and speed to overcome any obstacle? Or will Akam & Rezar write the Final Chapter on this underdog story?
Shayna Baszler helps Lola Vice prepare.
The Mayor of Vice City fires off on the heavy bag. She says when those lights dim, Natty’s lights go out! Shayna says that’s right, but Natty is a vet. She knows her submissions, so get that ground work in. Lola says who needs that when you’ve got the fastest hands in NXT? She fires off to show off, but does the Queen of Spades have a point about the Queen of Harts? Or will Lola turn NXT Underground from a marathon into a sprint?
Shawn Spears VS Ridge Holland!
The Chair Man is still convinced he can painfully drag the “truth” out of anyone, and he’s been working on Yorkshire Grit for weeks now. Will Ridge make Shawn regret ever coming back to NXT? Or will the truth be revealed through this violence?
The bell rings and Spears runs up, only to back away fast. The two circle, feel things out, then Spears dodges a haymaker to JAB! Spears eggs Ridge on, dodges him and JABS! Then CHOPS! Ridge is furious, he storms up on Spears but Spears bails out. Ridge seethes, Spears grinds, but then Ridge calms down, saying he’s smarter than Spears gives him credit. Ridge is emotionally in control as NXT goes picture in picture.
Spears is clearly surprised and annoyed, but he still goads Ridge. Ridge goes out after Spears after all, they go back into the ring, then Spears ducks ‘n’ dodges. But Ridge CLOBBERS Spears first! Ridge grins as he CHOPS Spears in a corner! Then Ridge follows spears to another corner to UPPERCUT! Spears kicks back, bumps Ridge off buckles then CHOPS! Ridge just snarls at him! Ridge puts Spears in the corner, fires off forearms and UPPERCUTS, then CHOPS! Spears staggers away, but comes back to fire forearms! Spears CHOPS, and CHOPS, then whips. Ridge KNEES Spears back, and Spears staggers around the ring.
Ridge runs up to clothesline Spears up and out! Ridge huffs and puffs, Spears staggers around the outside, and Ridge goes out again. Ridge runs in around the way, but is sent into steel steps! Spears gets the better of Ridge this time, and he brings down a kneepad! Spears KNEES Ridge again and again, right into the steel! Spears lets off as the ref counts, and Spears tells him to hold on. Spears puts Ridge in the ring, bring shim around, and GOURD BUSTERS! Then BASEMENT CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Spears sighs and tells Ridge off, then scrapes his laces off Ridge’s face! Spears stands Ridge up to CHOP, Ridge drops to his knees!
Spears sits Ridge up to CHOP again, then he scrapes laces off Ridge’s face again. Ridge pounds the mat in frustration, but Spears stands him up. Spears DROPKICKS Ridge down, then soaks up the heat. Spears paces, he hears the fans rallying up, and Ridge rises. Ridge fires body shots, NXT returns to single picture, and Spears mule kicks! Ridge blocks, scoops, but Spears slips free. Spears waistlocks, Ridge elbows him then whips, but Spears wrenches and turns Ridge for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Spears is upset with the ref, but then he sits Ridge up for crossface forearms! Spears then clamps on a CAMEL CLUTCH!
Ridge endures, pries at the hold, and he rises up! The fans rally, Ridge opens the chinlock, but Spears CLUBS him in the back! Spears reels Ridge in for a GUILLOTINE! Ridge endures the squeeze and drops to his knees. But then Ridge gets a second wind to pick Spears up! Spears holds on, Ridge lifts again but Spears thrashes the hold! Ridge powers up again and he puts Spears on the apron! Spears ROCKS Ridge first, then goes up a corner! But Ridge grabs Spears first! Ridge brings Spears off the corner in a trophy lift, and DROPS him! Fans fire up and Ridge runs back in to RAM Spears into the corner!
Ridge RAMS Spears again and again and again! Ridge reels Spears in, Spears ducks the one lariat but not the SOUTHPAW! Ridge then scoops for a SWINGING SIDE SLAM! Ridge roars, the fans rally, and Spears goes to the apron. Ridge stands Spears up, brings him in through ropes, and UPPERCUTS, forearms, repeat! QR code and Ridge fires off knee after knee! Ridge runs side to side to BOOT Spears down! Spears flounders, fans are torn, but Ridge brings Spears up. Fireman’s carry and CORNER DEATH VALLEY! Payback from weeks ago! And then another lift, ELEVATED DDT! #Redemption! Cover, Ridge wins!
Winner: Ridge Holland, by pinfall
Yorkshire Grit took it to another level, and that brought him a victory of vindication! Is Ridge on his way to redemption? Or is this still a moral victory for The Chair Man?
Roxanne Perez shouts at Ava Raine.
Why was she not drafted!? She’s the TWO-TIME champion! The greatest Women’s Champion in NXT! Ava says it wasn’t on her. But Roxie still blames her! She has this weird vendetta against Roxie so Ava must’ve told the other GMs not to draft her! Ava tells Roxie to calm down. If she listened to half the things going on while she complains, she would’ve known that champions, i.e. Roxie herself, are protected. No one was taking you anyway! Roxie won’t let Ava play stupid, but Ava reminds Roxie that she wanted this meeting to tell her what was next. Roxie says she’s not gonna listen to it! Roxie storms off, and Ava tells whoever is in her office that they’ll have to try again later. But just who IS inside Ava’s office?
Josh Briggs finds Ivar in Medical.
Briggs says Oba’s a beast, ain’t he? Briggs said he’s the only man who can beat Oba. And now that he’s all healed up, Oba’s all his. But hey, Ivar, thanks for softening the guy up. Right, sure. But Ivar lets Briggs know that Ivar’s not done with Oba. Wes Lee walks in to check on Ivar. Ivar’s fine. Good, good. Wes says kudos to both Ivar and Briggs for taking Oba to his limits trying to take Wes’s title. But now that Wes is cleared, he’s gonna get that belt back. Hold on there, Wes. Cleared or not, you don’t just hop back in. This isn’t five months ago. Wes knows the drill: just pack your bags and leave, like he always does.
Wes says that was way disrespectful outta nowhere. But he’s not leaving this time. And he isn’t cutting to get a title match, he’ll just beat Briggs for it. Briggs says we’ll just see if that back is healed. And Ivar says he’s not done with Oba. Both big men head out, and Wes says that’s good to know. The Cardiac Kid is seeing the North American Championship has become a land of giants, but will his giant heart be more than enough to see him through?
The Final Testament speaks.
Paul Ellering tells the WWE wrestling divisions, “You are all living on borrowed time. The Authors of Pain, the Final Testament, we are coming for all the titles. You saw what we did Friday. That was just the beginning. NXT, get ready.” The mastermind leads his monsters to gorilla, will they manhandle and maul Axiom & Frazer until there’s nothing left but the gold?
The D’Angelo Family is on the road.
The Don knows he pinned “Charlie the Chocolate Factory” in that ring, and Luca Crusifino says now, No Quarter Catch Crew owes him double. Tony agrees, and says they’ll take what Charlie cares about most: The Heritage Cup. Luca, get on the horn with Ava and set this up. Luca’s on it. Tony tells Rizzo and she’ll talk to her interior decorator, “Tall Face” Danielle. She’s real good with that feng shui stuff. They’ll have a nice spot picked out at the restaurant. Does Stacks need to handle anything? Tony says yeah, Stacks can gather up footage of all the Heritage Cup matches he can. Tony needs to research all the ins and outs.
Stacks says he’ll get on that, and Tony says he’ll make that Charlie kid pay up. Will The Don be able to beat Charlie Dempsey at his own game and take the trophy home to the D’Angelo Family?
NXT Tag Team Championships: Axiom & Nathan Frazer VS The Authors of Pain!
The Undeniable Hard-Hitting Truths just got these belts off The Wolf Dogs, and their first defense is a big one! Will their Cinderella story continue through to the Summer? Or will the Authors turn this from inspirational story to horrible tragedy?

Rezar stands Frazer up but Frazer throws body shots. Rezar CLUBS Frazer, turns him around and waistlocks, then talks trash while he carries Frazer, before the GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans boo but AOP soaks it all up, and NXT goes picture in picture.
Rezar drags Frazer up, pushes him down, then bends him back! Rezar shoves Frazer down, talks trash, then bends him again before he CLUBS Frazer down. Rezar spins Frazer around for another waistlock, lift, and GERMAN SUPELX! But Frazer lands on his feet! Frazer BOOTS Rezar, dodges him, and hot tags Axiom! They fire off on Rezar from all sides, then DROPKICK! Rezar stays up so Axiom goes up, leaps, into a HAYMAKER! Rezar swats Axiom like a fly, then brings him to the corner. Tag to Akam and then Rezar scoops Axiom. Akam goes up, STOMP SIDEWALK SLAM COMBO! Cover, TWO!
Akam clamps onto Axiom, HAMMERs away on his head, then lets off to loom over him. Axiom flounders, but Akam stands him up. Axiom fires hands, runs, but gets run over! Akam soaks up more heat, stalks Axiom to the ropes, then stands on him while he tags Rezar. The mugging continues, and Rezar taunts Frazer. Rezar puts Axiom on ropes, CHOKEs him, but lets off at 4, just to CHOKE him on the lower rope! The ref counts, Rezar CLUBS away on Axiom, but he lets off at 4. Scarlett & Kross are amused as Rezar stalks Axiom. Tag to Akam, the AOP mug Axiom more, and Akam taunts Frazer to save Axiom.
Akam CLUBS Axiom, drags him back up, and then DECKS him! Tag to Rezar, the mugging continues, and Rezar DECKS Axiom again. NXT returns to single picture while AOP soak up the heat. Axiom flounders to the corner, Rezar talks smack and then runs in at the corner, but Axiom dodge! Rezar’s boto gets caught up on the ropes, Akam tags in! Akam gets Axiom, back suplexes, but Axiom lands out! Axiom dodges, hot tag to Frazer! Frazer fires running forearm after running forearm! Frazer keeps moving but Akam scoops him! Frazer slips free, dodges in the corner, then HOTSHOTS Akam off ropes!

Akam survives but Frazer snarls. Frazer builds speed and he DIVES, but Rezar catches him! Fans freak out, but then Axiom DIVES, only for Rezar to throw Frazer at him!! Rezar calls to Akam, Akam tags him in, and AOP get Frazer up! POP-UP KNEE!! Cover, TWO!! Frazer lives and that frustrates the AOP! Rezar HAMMERS away on Frazer, he tags Akam in and they look to end this! They get Frazer up and Rezar runs, but Axiom DUMPS him out!!
Frazer gets free to ENZIGIRI! Tag to Axiom and DOUBLE GIRI COMBO! They then hoist Akam up top, but Akam fights them off! Axiom GAMANGIRIS back! Axiom climbs, but then Kross distracts the ref! Scarlett anchors Akam to help him fight the superplex! Akam SHOVES Axiom down, but AHA! The ref catches Scarlett red handed! The ref EJECTS Kross, Scarlett AND Ellering!! The fans fire up as now things are a little bit better for Axiom & Frazer! AOP still get Axiom up, but WAIT! NEW CATCH REPUBLIC is here! Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne bait Rezar into a DOUBLE GIRI of their own! And Frazer SUPERKICKS Akam!
Axiom rolls Akam up, the ref counts, AXIOM & FRAZER WIN!!
Winners: Axiom & Nathan Frazer, by pinfall (still NXT Tag Team Champions)
AOP is furious! Bate & Dunne stick it to them for what happened on Friday, and that lets Axiom & Frazer hold onto the gold! The Final Testament and the New Catch Republic are both going to Raw via the Draft, will their feud only fire up from here?
Thea Hail is now in medical.
She’s in tears as she asks Mr. Chase, Duke & Riley why Fallon would hit her like that. Why do people keep turning on Thea like this? She doesn’t understand! They all comfort her, and then Ridge asks what’s up. Thea’s fine, she’s a tough kid. Ridge says yeah, can’t trust anybody in this business, huh? Chase congratulates Ridge on his big win tonight against Spears. Ridge has been battling his own demons, Chase can relate. How is Ridge? Ridge is doing good, he appreciates Chase asking. Just trying to get wins and do things the right way. Yeah, one day at a time, man. That’s all they can ask for. They fist bump on it and Ridge heads out.
Thea is FURIOUS with Fallon, but Chase has her calm down. From one former friend to another, is Thea just gonna have to tap them all out?
NXT Media catches up with the Meta Four.
Lash has regrouped with Jakara, Dar & Oro as she’s asked about what she was telling Trick. Jakara says listen, she said what she said, okay? Dar says the Legend tells no lies. But Trickster, if you want to know the truth, then next week, be their guest on Supernova Sessions. They will tell all! Buh-bye! Meta Four heads out, and now we see Kelani Jordan following Fallon. Kelani wants to know what that was out there. That’s not her! Fallon says she doesn’t wanna talk about this. But it is time for Fallon to put herself first. What? Fallon storms off, is she going into business for herself from now on?
Malik Blade meets with Edris Enofe.
Malik is so worried! Is he okay? Good, good, he was worried. A mirror breaking, that’s seven YEARS bad luck! Yeah, but Edris is cool. He’s chill. That was all plastic and stuff, that’s not the same as a glass mirror. They’re fine! Malik says this is a tale as old as time: you break a mirror, you’re cooked! Brinley Reece walks in and asks if they’re still worried about that mirror situation. But she figured they’d need cheering up, so- No no no, no more workouts. Brin says no, they’re trying a different method! She brought kittens~! Malik is all for that! But Edris says they’re BLACK CATS!! That’s more bad luck!! Oh…! Oops. Is the bad juju turning into a downright curse?
NXT Underground: Natalya w/ Karmen Petrovic VS Lola Vice w/ Shayna Baszler!
Let’s get ready to rumble! The Queen of Harts looked to humble the Mayor of Vice City, but didn’t realize how big that ego really was. But will training with the real-life Beatrix Kiddo help Natty make more history? Or will Lola be the Latina iceberg that sinks The Boat?
The introductions are made, as will history, because there’s nothing holding back the best and the baddest!
The bell rings and the fans fire up as the two feel things out. Lola JABS, KICKS, and KICKS, but Natty checks! Then Natty blocks, to RAM Lola right off the ring! They fall on the NXT prospects at ringside, then Natty rains down fists! Natty gets Lola up and, uh, on the ring, then storms up again. But Lola BODY BLOWS! Lola KNEES, fires LIGHTNING KICKS, but Natty blocks to CHOP! And TAKEDOWN, into a top wristlock! Lola scrambles around, but Natty keeps after the key lock. Lola shifts around, has a top mount, then a JUJIGATAMI! Natty fights out of the head ‘n’ arm triangle to waistlock and SLAM!
Natty keeps on Lola with hammering fists, but Lola body scissors. Natty breaks that squeeze to CLUB away on Lola! This is the ground game Shayna told Lola about! Natty shifts to have a KNEEBAR!! Lola endures, reaches out but there’s no ropes for breaks! Lola powers up, pushes back and she STOMPS Natty! Then KICKS her! And KICKS again! And AX KICKS! Lola CLUBS Natty, throws body shots, and Shayna says keep on her! Lola mule kicks Natty and Natty flounders. Natty sits up, Lola KICKS and CLUBS and CLUBS her again! Lola runs up to HIP ATTACK Natty into more prospects! The fans fire up while NXT goes picture in picture!
Lola shakes out her bad leg while glaring down at Natty. Lola then hops down to fetch Natty, bring her around, and CHOPS her against the apron! Natty sputters, Lola talks trash, but Natty fires hands! Lola bobs ‘n’ weaves, she and Natty fire shots, clinch, then Natty CLUBS away! Lola sends Natty into steel steps! Natty falls over, clutching her own leg. Lola storms up, Shayna coaches her to keep on Natty, and Lola puts Natty back on the ring. Lola storms up on Natty but Natty fires hands! They brawl, Natty has the edge, but Lola trips Natty up! Lola rains down forearms, then goes to ARMBAR! Natty shifts around to fight that, clasping hands together!
Natty moves, there’s no pins in the underground but she still stacks Lola. Lola just powers through to get Natty back in the ARMBAR! Natty endures, moves around, and pops out the back to HAMMER away on Lola! Lola staggers up, Natty ROCKS her! Natty storms around, brings Lola back up, and snap suplexes her back down! Lola flounders, Natty kicks her, then stands her up for another snap suplex! Lola sputters, Natty goes after her and wants that key lock! NXT returns to single picture and the fans fire up! Lola powers Natty down to CLUB her, then she gets away. Natty pursues but Lola mule kicks her!
Lola has Natty on the outside, but Natty snap suplexes to the floor! The fans are thunderous as Natty KICKS Lola! Shayna looks worried, but Natty hoists Lola up to snap suplex again! Karmen cheers Natty on, as do the fans, and Natty brings Lola up. Natty goes up onto the desk! But Lola SWEEPS the legs, and Natty crashes down!

Natty endures, Lola lets her go to KICK! And KICK! And KICK! Natty falls over, but Lola drags her into a TRIANGLE! Shayna says good, keep the squeeze! Natty endures, even as Lola adds elbow shots! Natty fires body shots in return, finds some space to get free, and she CLUBS Lola in the chest! And again! And then she fires haymakers! The fans duel but the Natty side is stronger! Natty SLAPS and CLUBS Lola, but Lola gets a GUILLOTINE!! Shayna says that’s it! Squeeze her now! Natty endures, fights up, and then SPINEBUSTERS! But Lola gets the GUILLOTINE again!!
Lola squeezes as tight as she can, both with the facelock and the body scissors, but Natty drags her off the ring to SPINEBUSTER to the floor!! Natty is free and the fans fire up! Natty catches her breath while Lola writhes, and both women rise up. Natty puts Lola back on the ring but Lola BOOTS her away! Natty grabs Lola’s leg to SLAM it into the post! And then she SLAPS Lola, grabs the leg, and copies Uncle Bret with the HANGING LEGLOCK!! Lola endures, but there’s nothing she can do to get free! Shayna protests, but Karmen JUMPS onto Shayna for a SLEEPER! Shayna staggers forward and bumps into Natty, making her release the hold!
Karmen and Shayna flounder away, Natty sits up and hurries after Lola. They’re back to the center of the ring, and Natty stomps Lola! Natty then goes Hart style, only for Shayna to get after her! Natty SMACKS Shayna first! Natty TOSSES Shayna onto the prospects!! But Lola takes aim! Only for Natty to block a kick! Natty trips Lola, steps through, and has the SHARPSHOOTER!!! Lola endures as the fans are thunderously shouting! Lola crawls, grabs at prospects, but that won’t save her! Natty drags Lola back to the deep waters! Lola endures but there’s no escaping! Shayna grabs Karmen for the KIRAFUDA KLUTCH!!!
The fans freak out as The Queen of Spades makes the Queen of Harts choose: her friend or her victory! Natty is conflicted, so she lets Lola go! Natty fires off on Shayna, RAMS her into barriers, then hammers away! Shayna gets what she deserves, but then comes back for more! Natty BOOTS her away, so Lola can URAKEN!! Lola RAINS down hammering hands, the ref stops it! Lola wins by knockout!!
Winner: Lola Vice, by knockout
The fans boo because Lola makes history with a huge ass…terisk! Lola celebrates all the same, will she ever be humbled?
Roxanne and Ava finish watching the match.
Roxie says that’s awesome stuff out there, though maybe a bit sarcastically. Roxie says neither of those two can touch her, so why is she even here? Because when Roxie claimed she didn’t have time for Ava, what Ava was going to tell her, is that they’ve found her next opponent, for next week. Next week!? Roxie just defended this LAST week! And Ava has an entire combine to worry about so- Ava stops Roxie there, she doesn’t need Roxie again telling Ava how to do her job. So next week, Roxie defends her title against… Chelsea Green! The Hot Mess says Ava is SO much smarter than Pea-Brain Pearce and Sir Nicholas The Nasty.
In fact, that lovely piece of gold is going to look lovely in Chelsea’s jewelry box. Roxie stops Chelsea from touching the belt then storms off. Chelsea again says Ava is the best, and is gonna love it here on NXT. But seriously, Chelsea Green for Roxie’s first opponent? Is Roxie supposed to be intimidated or insulted?
My Thoughts:
An awesome NXT to not just move on from the WWE Draft but also to wrap Spring Breakin’. Great promo segment with Trick and Lash, clearly everyone loves the *ahem* sexual tension there. But also nice bit of intrigue thrown into what is clearly just Meta Four trying to get Dar a match with Trick for the title at Battleground or something. And a good promo from Arianna & Gigi to hype up tonight’s card. I can see why they didn’t open the show with it, though, as it was a little too cheesy. And some of Gigi’s delivery on the lines were more script reading than organic. Also, I always took Gigi as the atypical hot girl, not a slob burping everywhere, that was just a weird choice.
Anyway, awesome opening match in Oba VS Ivar, that was some top tier Meat Mania action, and a great win for Oba. Wes returning was great stuff, too, but the fans being that fired up kinda ruined the audio of Fallon talking with Thea just behind the bleachers. Good promo from Briggs and Ivar with Wes, and despite the clear physical disadvantage, Wes is of course going to find a way to win and be the #1 contender. Though at the same time, why not have Wes just move up to the top title already? I feel like the only right ending to this is Wes becoming #1 contender, only to lose to Oba in the title match.
Thea VS Jacy was good stuff, and a great win for Thea. But since they planted seeds of Fallon turning with Stand & Deliver, here it is! She’s felt unappreciated, unaccomplished and all that, she’s going Heel and is certainly getting in on the NXT Women’s North American Championship. I would think so is Thea, and then the four we saw talk it out in that promo, too. I said just last week that Sol is a strong Face choice for first Women’s NA Champ, but honestly so is Thea. Mia getting in on this is good stuff, she’ll be a solid part of the ladder match but I don’t see her winning it. She might end up in a quick feud with Arianna Grace or something, though.
Good promo from Tyriek & Tyson, but rather surprising their NXT TV debut was a loss. Granted, The Good Brothers are a team that can’t afford to lose when they came to NXT to be a strong force in the tag division, but I didn’t think WWE would move away from the tradition of a debut win. I’m sure Tyson & Tyriek will come back and “figure it out” next week, the NXT Tag Division is just that strong. Also funny little promo from Malik, Edris & Brin with the black cats adding more bad luck. And great promo from the Profits and great assist from New Catch Republic to help Axiom & Frazer. It is for the best that AOP didn’t just win the tag titles their first try, and surely AOP VS NCR will be a big part of giving Awesome Truth some new challengers.
Good stuff from Ridge VS Spears, though the live crowd is starting to sour on this whole Ridge redemption thing with that sabbatical fake-out. He and Spears should just become a Heel tag team with Ridge giving into the darkness so that he can be cheered alongside Spears, who the fans still love. And good promo from The D’Angelo Family to make it clear we’ll get Tony D’Angelo VS Charlie Dempsey for the Heritage Cup. If Tony wins the Cup, I hope he wins via a knockout punch. It hasn’t happened since the inaugural Heritage Cup tournament in NXT UK, and there needs to be something like that to really shake up the Heritage Cup Division.
And really good stuff in the NXT Underground story. Good promos from both sides, and I do like that Shayna was right, Lola was gonna lose because she didn’t work on her ground game as much as she should have. But at the same time, Shayna made sure Lola won, so if Lola gets in on the Women’s North American Championship stuff, I would hope Shayna expects a shot at the belt as a favor. And speaking of title shots, good promos from Roxie and Ava, but like, even in kayfabe, Chelsea Green is not someone Roxie should really be worried about. Chelsea struggles to do her part in tag matches when it’s like her and Piper against Kayden & Katana.
Roxie should definitely retain against Chelsea, only for Ava to reveal Battleground will be Roxie VS GIULIA! We saw the new signee from Stardom at Stand & Deliver, Battleground in Vegas would be the perfect place for Giulia to have her first match and win the title right off Roxie, allowing Roxie to go to RawDown like she wants anyway.
My Score: 8.9/10

Daniel Garcia VS Johnny TV w/ MXM Collection!
Speaking of the TNT Championship, it will be Red Death challenging Jack Perry for that gold. But before he becomes the Face of TNT, can he prove to Johnny and the world that he is #TVReady?
The bell rings and Garcia circles with Johnny. They tie up, go around, and Johnny powers Garcia to a corner. The ref counts, Johnny lets off slowly, but then he takes a swing!

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

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Renee Paquette is with the #BornAgainKristen and says that we’re just one week away from Kris VS Mercedes Mone for the TBS Championship at Full Gear. Things have already gotten out of control, from Mone & Kamille trying to run Kris over with a car, and then Kris tackles them through a wall. Once the bell rings, what can we expect? Kris says, “Anything and everything.” Mone is one of the best, will do anything she can to win, and is most dangerous when she’s cornered, where she is right now. Everything she’s tried hasn’t worked because Kris is still standing. Kris will be the one standing tall as the NEW TBS Champion.
In steps Hikaru Shida with enthusiastic applause. The Shining Samurai tells Kris that she just wants to wish her luck. It’s about time someone beats Mone’s boney ass! And when Kris becomes the new champion, Shida will gladly be her first challenger. Kris says alright, sure. But here’s another idea: Kris is always open for a challenge any time, especially against #HolyShida, the only THREE-TIME AEW Women’s World Champion. So how about this? Wednesday Night Dynamite, Shida VS Kris. Shida’s all for it! They shake hands, but will fighting Shida be a little too much before going to Full Gear? Or will it prove Kris is still The Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with The Acclaimed.
Lexy Nair is with Max Caster & Anthony Bowens ahead of their huge Full Gear Tag Team Contenders Series match with La Faccion Ingobernable. But where is Billy Gunn? Caster asks that more importantly, where are their heads going into the match? Because Caster just has to say, as the Best Wrestler Alive, he’s feeling real confident. Bowens says for Lexy’s actual question, Billy will be here. What Caster was trying to say is that The Acclaimed do feel great, because they are one match away from joining that Fatal 4, where they will become TWO-TIME AEW World Tag Team Champions in the Scissor King’s home state of New Jersey!
And when they win, The Acclaimed will celebrate with one big scissoring, because EVERYONE LOVES THE ACCLAIMED! Ain’t that right, Lexy? Oh, wait, MVP steps in, Shelton Benjamin by his side. The Hurt Syndicate just wants to wish The Acclaimed luck. The Syndicate handled their business, so Caster & Bownes should handle theirs. Oh, and Max, use your size and strength. This is a big opportunity, don’t blow it. The Syndicate heads out, but will The Acclaimed win to impress MVP? Or to get back where they belong?
“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Bulk Bronson w/ The Iron Savages!
The return of the Powerhouse is truly big for AEW, but all the Iron Savages are big. And Jacked Jameson wants everyone to hold on. The fat morons and skinny idiots of Albany can shut up. Jameson gives all the introductions, and looking at “P-P-Powerhouse,” all you people are expecting a meat madness match! You want meat?! Then yeah, chant it up! But here’s some news: all these losers are going on a vegan diet! There will be no meat tonight! Because they are The Iron Savages, sippin’ sauce and livin’ hoss while they take all the Low T Meatriders to #TIDDYCITY! Guess Bronson can do it, too?

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

The ref is busy with Billy and that lets Rush LASH Caster with the cable! Rush SMACKS Caster off the desk, Caster scrambles into the ring, but Rush anchors his leg.

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

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

Albany gets what they want because here comes a TABLE! Anna brings this up to a TLC as she pushes the table into the ring.
Anna hurries in to set the table up while Mariah crawls and cries in pain. Anna has the table set just right, but she stomps Mariah first. Anna bumps Mariah off the buckles, then hoists her up top. Anna ROCKS Mariah, climbs up after her, and the fans fire up as she aims for the table. Mariah fires body shots first!

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

Hikaru Shida VS Leila Grey!
The Shining Samurai continues her comeback, looking to carve a path back to a championship. But the Top Flight Attendant only just called out the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena, last night on ROH TV. Will Leila be flying high towards her Proving Grounds match with The Fallen Goddess? Or will Shida use Leila as just another tune-up?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. The two tie up, Leila wrenches and wristlocks to YANK the arm. Leila keeps on the wristlock but Shida handsprings and wrenches back. Shida hammerlocks, headlocks, but Leila fires body shots. Leila powers up and out, but Shida runs Leila over! The fans fire up, and things keep moving. Shida rolls over Leila’s dropdown, then bypasses Leila. Leila stops the hip toss to fire body shots and knees! Leila goes to run but Shida reels her in. Shida lifts with the waistlock, and she swings Leila around, before the SLAM! The fans fire up with Shida and she goes outside.
Shida brings Leila to the apron, CLUBS her, then lines up a shot. Shida runs in to KNEE LIFT! The fans fire up again and Shida hurries back in. Shida brings Leila up, fireman’s carries, but Leila flails with forearms and elbows. Leila sunset flips, TWO! Leila ROCKS Shida, UPPERCUTS, then kicks low. Leila KICKS high, then kicks a leg out, to run and SHOTGUN! Shida tumbles, Leila covers, TWO! Shida stays in this but Leila stays on her. Leila bumps Shida off buckles, then she runs Shida side to side to bump off more buckles. Leila CHOPS and the fans “WOO~!” Leila smiles and puts some stank on the CHOP!
Leila swings but Shida dodges the third chop, to ROCK Leila! Shida whips, Leila reverses, and Leila SHINING WIZARDS in the corner! Then BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Shida is tougher than that but Leila stalks her. The fans rally up, Leila brings Shida around, and Leila fires a forearm! Shida fires one in return! Leila fires again, but Shida ROCKS Leila! Leila ROCKS Shida! The fans rally up and Shida feeds off the energy. Shida fires forearm after forearm, but Leila takes a swing! Shida dodges, wrenches, and short arm LARIATS! The fans fire up and Shida is after Leila in a corner. Shida climbs up, and she rains down fists!
The fans fire up and count all the way to TEN! Shida roars then kicks Leila away. Shida MISSILE DROPKICKS! Down goes Leila! Shida hurries to cover, TWO! Leila stays in this but Shida takes aim. KATA- NO, Leila deflects! Roll up, TWO!! Shida is up, blocks a boot, and swings, but into a full nelson! Shida wrenches out, BOOTS Leila’s lariat, then QUESTION MARK KICKS! Shida suplexes for the FALCON ARROW! Cover, Shida wins!
Winner: Hikaru Shida, by pinfall
Leila kicks at 3.1, that’s too little too late! Will Leila at least last ten minutes against Athena next week? Will Shida be the one poised for a title shot after Full Gear?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee Paquette is with the crazy Aussie, who keeps pawing at her, and brings up the match Harley’s made for Collision with Mina Shirakawa. Harley asks Renee, does she know what Mina has that Harley doesn’t? No, what is it? NOTHING!! Mina is beautiful, charismatic, and talented. But can she do THIS?! Harley brings out a guitar and starts to play! Harley was a musician, y’know. Oh, wait, there’s a string missing. Never mind, she’s professional! Harley starts adlibbing a Blues-esque song. There once was a little girl. And by “little,” Harley doesn’t mean young child, she means just small in stature.
Anyway, and a five, six, seven, eight! Renee stops Harley there, there’s no time. What?! No! FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAM- The cameras cut away back to ringside, but will Harley show Mina and the world everything she’s capable of tomorrow night on Collision?
Mark Briscoe VS Ariya Daivari w/ Mark Sterling!
While Chris Jericho keeps disrespecting the legacy of Jay Briscoe, it will be Tomohiro Ishii that handles him. Tonight, the Sussex County Chicken is to focus on himself and the Premier Athletes’ son of privilege. “Smart” Mark takes over introductions by saying Ariya Daivari is about to wrestle “literally the dumbest person in AEW.” Mark is so stupid, really. So please, show the world that Bridgeport is smarter than a Briscoe by reading what is right on the Premier Athletes’ brand new merch shirt: Athletes Rule. Daivari says when he says “Athletes,” the fans should say, “Rule!” and NOTHING ELSE! Got it!?
Okay, hands in. Ohhh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Briscoe laughs because the only dumb Mark here is Mark Sterling. But will Briscoe prove that what matters in the ring is street smarts? Or can Daivari prove that Premier Athletes don’t suck?
The bell rings and Briscoe circles with Daivari. They tie up as fans rally, and Briscoe pushes Daivari back. Daivari turns things around to put Briscoe in a corner, and lets off as the ref counts. Daivari shouts, “ATHLETES!” but fans again shout “SUCK!!” Briscoe SHOVES Daivari down and the fans fire up. Briscoe and Daivari circle, tie up, and Briscoe headlocks. Daivari powers up and out, but Briscoe runs him over! The fans fire up and things keep moving. Daivari drops down, Briscoe slides under, and then Briscoe REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUTS! And ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans fire up more while sterling protests.
Briscoe whips Daivari, then UPPERCUTS again! The fans fire up as Daivari goes to a corner. Briscoe storms up to bring Daivari around, for a suplex high and hard! Cover, TWO! Daivari is tougher than that so Briscoe shrugs it off. Briscoe fires hands, Daivari staggers around, but Briscoe CHOPS him in a corner! Briscoe then REDNECK CRANE KICKS! The fans fire up and Briscoe brings Daivari up, but Daivari JAWBREAKERS back! Daivari TOSSES Briscoe out, but the ref has Sterling stay back. Daivari goes out to get Briscoe, but Briscoe sends Daivari into railing! The fans fire up while Daivari writhes, and Briscoe stands him up.
Briscoe CHOPS Daivari, high-fives fans, then CHOPS Daivari again. Briscoe then brings Daivari around to SMACK off a chair! The fans fire up as Briscoe makes Daivari take a seat. Briscoe refreshes the count, then runs up to BOOT Daivari down! The fans fire up more, and Briscoe UPPERCUTS Daivari again. Daivari goes to more railing but Briscoe CHOPS him down again. Briscoe tosses a chair into the ring, HEADBUTTS Daivari, then slides into the ring. Briscoe sets up the chair and the fans fire up! Sterling panics as Briscoe builds speed, so Sterling snatches the chair away! The fans boo but Briscoe goes out after Sterling!
Sterling defends his innocence but Daivari CLUBS Briscoe! And hits a NECKBREAKER on the floor! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Well, clearly Sterling doesn’t learn, but Daivari is control as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Daivari drags Briscoe up and into the ring, then grabs the legs, so he can stomp Briscoe’s gut! Briscoe sputters his way to a corner but Daivari digs his boots in! The ref counts, Sterling cheers, but Daivari lets off. Daivari argues with the ref, so Sterling CHOKES Briscoe! The fans boo but Sterling gets away with it. Daivari whips Briscoe hard into a corner! Briscoe sits down, and Daivari stomps him some more! Daivari snapmares Briscoe, KNEES him in the back, then clamps on a neck wrench. The ref reprimands the fishhook in there, but Daivari shifts to a chinlock. Daivari grinds Briscoe down, but Briscoe endures.
Fans rally up and Briscoe fights to his feet. Rampage returns to single picture as Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe fires forearms but Daivari knees low! Daivari CLAWS Briscoe’s face, puts him in a corner, then hoists him up top. The fans rally for “DEM BOYS! DEM BOYS!” but Daivari CHOPS Briscoe. Daivari climbs up, brings Briscoe up, but Briscoe fires body shots! Briscoe DECKS Daivari, the fans fire up, but Sterling springs into action! The ref reprimands, Sterling argues with him, and Daivari runs up! Briscoe leaps over Daivari, but Daivari dodges the boot! SLEEPER! The fans boo but Briscoe RAMS Daivari into a corner!
Daivari holds on but Briscoe RAMS him in again and again! Briscoe is finally free, but Daivari then hammerlocks! LION’S LARIAT! And then a wrench, spin, LION’S DDT! Cover, TWO!! Briscoe survives Daivari’s double down and the fans fire up! Daivari throws hands but Briscoe feeds off it! The fans fire up as Briscoe mans up! Daivari headlocks, Briscoe powers out, but Daivari RAMS Briscoe! Briscoe roars! Daivari runs and RAMS Briscoe again! And again! Then Daivari fires hands! But Briscoe blocks to ROCK Daivari! And ROCK him again! And again! REDNECK PALM STRIKES! Briscoe puts Daivari in a corner!
Briscoe rains down fists and the fans count to TEN! Briscoe hops down, the fans fire up, and Briscoe CLOBBERS Daivari! And CLOBBERS him again! Briscoe whips, Daivari reverses, but Briscoe FLYING FOREARMS! The fans fire up with Briscoe and he runs at the corner. LARIAT, and then FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Daivari survives but Briscoe calls his shot! Briscoe drags Daivari up, reels him in, but Daivari fights the underhooks! Daivari wrenches, dodges a lariat, and SUPERKICKS! Briscoe wobbles, but he eggs Daivari on! Daivari runs up, into a ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Daivari is down and Briscoe climbs up!
Sterling distracts Briscoe, and Daivari has time to hit the ropes! That trips Briscoe up! Briscoe tumbles to the m at, and Daivari hauls Briscoe up. Wait, Daivari underhooks the arms?! That’s blasphemy! But Briscoe powers up and out with a backdrop! And now Briscoe brings Daivari in, only for Sterling to get on the apron! The ref reprimands, Briscoe warns Sterling, but it’s ROCKY ROMERO that YANKS Sterling down! Daivari whips Briscoe, Briscoe reverses to TOSS Daivari! Rocky gets Briscoe the chair! Briscoe sets it up, and he takes FLIGHT! Down goes Daivari & Sterling! Briscoe puts Daivari in, climbs up, FROGGY-BOW!! Cover, Briscoe wins!
Winner: Mark Briscoe, by pinfall
The Conglomeration comes through for each other again, and that helps Briscoe win! But Azucar has his own match tonight, will he be feeling even sweeter after taking on Komander?
BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
With the confrontations we’ve seen from them all, we see Will Ospreay join forces with Will Hobbs, Mark Davis & Ricochet against Konosuke Takeshita, Kyle Fletcher, Brian Cage & Lance Archer! It’s the full Don Callis Family against the Aerial Assassin, the Powerhouse, Dunkzilla and The One & Only in an All Star 8 Man Tag! Which side will have all the momentum going into Full Gear?
Rocky Romero VS Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes!
Rampage returns and the bell rings. The fans rally as Azucar and Commander of the Skies circle, but Montel Vontavious Porter is watching backstage…? Who business could MVP and The Hurt Syndicate have here? Rocky and Komander tie up, Komander wrenches and wristlocks. Rocky rolls then DROPKICKS! Rocky gives some Latino Heat, then waits on Komander. The two reset, circle, and tie up again. Rocky waistlocks, SLAMS, then flips Komander, maybe a little too much. Rocky flips Komander over again but Komander kips up to arm-drag! Komander gives some Latino Heat of his own, and Rocky can’t help but smile.
The fans rally as Komander and Rocky feel things out. They knuckle lock, go shoulder to shoulder, and the fans cheer the Test of Strength. Rocky powers Komander back, then MONKEY FLIPS! Rocky rolls back but Komander blocks the mount to then go up and MONKEY FLIP back! It’s a double cover, TWO as both men bridge! The fans cheer this exchange, and the two roll to their feet.

Komander leaps over, keeps moving, and he springboards to FLYING ARM-DRAG!
The fans fire up while Rocky bails out. Komander builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Rocky and the fans fire up again! Komander feeds off the energy to put Rocky in the ring. Komander goes up a corner, takes aim, but Rocky moves. Komander rolls through, comes back, and dodges to then handspring and- FACEBUSTER from Rocky! Cover, TWO!

Komander kicks back but Rocky CHOPS Komander again. Komander flounders along ropes, but Rocky has him again. Komander turns things around to CHOP back! The fans and Abrahantes fires up as Komander fires off CHOPS and KICKS! The ref counts, Komander lets off, but Rocky sucker punches him! Rocky has Komander in the corner now, hoists him up again, but then traps him on the top rope by lacing the legs!
Komander flails while Rocky gets space. Rocky runs up to TOP SHELF KNEE! Komander falls in a heap, but Rocky wants us to watch. Sliding pose! Rocky goes back for Komander but Komander kicks at him. Rocky brings Komander up to CLUB him down. Rocky then stalks Komander, CLUBS him again, and stalks him to ropes. Rocky brings Komander into a waistlock, but shoves him to ropes to ROCK him in the back! Komander drops to his knees, but Rocky stands him up. Rocky shoves and ROCKS Komander again! Cover, TWO! Komander stays tough but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and the fans fire up for Komander as he goes up, up, salutes, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS Rocky down! The fans fire up and MVP is impressed. Komander puts Rocky in, the fans rally behind “KO-MAN-DER!” But Rocky intercepts the flight for a fireman’s carry! Komander slips free, suplexes, but Rocky slips free. Rocky shoves but Komander DROPKICKS! The fans fire up and Komander runs corner to corner to go up and up, MOONSAULT, into BOOTS! Komander staggers, into SLICED BREAD! Cover, TWO! Rocky is frustrated but he hurries to bring Komander back up. Rocky whips, but Komander tiger feints and rolls!
Komander goes up and has Rocky with a dragon sleeper! Inverted suplex, for a POWERSLAM into the corner!! The fans fire up as Komander sets Rocky in the drop zone. Komander climbs, tightrope walks, CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall
MVP nods, maybe he saw things not even he expected out of this match. Will Komander prove he’s not just worthy of MVP’s attention but of AEW’s attention? And with it, perhaps a title opportunity?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Lexy Nair is with The Queenslayer and notes her AEW Women’s World Championship match set for Collision tomorrow night. It is No Disqualifications, and if Anna wins, she is the NEW champion. But if she loses… Anna will never challenge Mariah May for the title again. Anna says it is worth that risk. It is worth seeing Mariah’s eyes bulging out of her head until she passes out. With no rules, Anna is capable of anything. But in steps Taya Valkyrie, applauding and saying yes, Anna is capable of anything. But so is Mariah. And Mina Shirakawa could be anywhere. Maybe Anna wants some extra insurance? And by the way, The Vendetta does accept cash.
Anna says she can handle her business, so Taya can mind her own. Taya tells Anna okay, okay. But Deonna Purrazzo sends her regards. Stay safe out there. Anna says no, she won’t. Will Anna finally be The Star of the Show when she tears down Mariah? Or will The Virtuosa & La Wera Loca have something to say about that?
Rush & The Beast Mortos w/ Dralistico VS Alex Price & Richard Holliday!
Just 24 hours ahead of their Collision with The Acclaimed, La Faccion Ingobernable’s two bulls are looking to stampede! Will they be more than ready for the Full Gear Contenders Series?
The teams sort out and Mortos starts against Price, and just CLBOBERS him at the bell! Mortos keeps moving, Price drops then jumps, but into a SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans fire up and Mortos SMACKS Price! Mortos whips Price, Price ducks ‘n’ dodges, then goes up and over! Price DROPKICKS, DROPKICKS, and fires up! But then Mortos POP-UP SAMOAN DROPS him! Tag to Rush, and El Toro Blanco looms over Price. Rush stands Price up to CHOP him down! Rush eggs Holliday on, then SPITS at him! The fans boo but Price tags Holliday. Holliday steps to Rush, but Rush shoves him! Holliday UPPERCUTS!
The fans fire up but Rush CHOPS! Rush pie faces Holliday but Holliday fires up! Only for Rush to whip him into a corner and SPLASH! Snapmare and basement DROPKICK! Holliday bails out but Rush pursues. Rush CHOPS, then throws Holliday into railing. Rush dribbles Holliday off the railing, rains down fists, but the ref counts. Rush says leave him alone, but the ref warns him. Rush stops, then he puts Holliday in the ring. Rush snarls and storms back into the ring. Mortos CHOKES Holliday, the ref reprimands, but this lets Dralistico throw Price into steel steps! Rush whips Holliday corner to corner hard!
Rush DECKS Holliday with a forearm, stomps away on him, and goes corner to corner! “If you mess with the bull…!” BULL’S HORNS! Cover, LFI wins!
Winners: Rush & The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
This probably could’ve been over soon, but LFI likes to play with their food. But will they be much more to the point against Max Caster & Anthony Bowens?
Backstage interview with MVP.
Lexy is with Montel Vontavious Porter and brings up how he’s been watching matches here and there. Is he scouting talent? Absolutely! And as he’s been getting the lay of the land here in AEW, MVP sees so many young and gifted athletes with so much untapped potential. Some of them need motivation. Some need perhaps better management. And some just need to be hurt, beaten down again and again, to their knees. Because only when you’ve broken a man down to his knees can you teach him to stand and put him on the path to success. MVP says Swerve Strickland is a perfect example. So much to learn and yet he just won’t listen.
That is arrogance. It is that arrogance that the fans love, but it is also Swerve’s greatest weakness. Swerve thinks that one man can beat three. That is arrogance. Swerve calls himself the most dangerous man in AEW. With Bobby Lashley and Shelton Benjamin around, that is arrogance. And arrogance, like pride, goeth before the fall. So MVP is paying attention to everything. For example, tonight, where MVP will be watching Ricochet in the main event. Oh, and that young luchador, Komander, what an impressive match. MVP likes that. And then tomorrow night on Collision, Shelton will find out exactly what Komander is made of, and what lessons he needs to learn.
The business plan has been set out, but will The Hurt Syndicate find the diamonds in the rough they are looking for? Or is it all fool’s gold compared to what they already have?
BREAKING NEWS for Collision!
On top of Shelton Benjamin VS Komander, and on top of the AEW Women’s World Championship No Disqualification match, Will Hobbs gets back into singles action as he takes on Bulk Bronson! With that All Star 8 Man Tag coming up, will going big be just the thing to power up the Powerhouse? Plus, relive the best of the last two weeks as the special AEW “November to Remember” music video debuts, set to Guns ‘n’ Roses’ hit song, November Rain!
Ricochet VS Dante Martin!
MVP just told the world he is watching this match, but surely so is The Don Callis Family. Will The One & Only show them something #OuttaThisWorld? Or will Angel Dorado remind us why he was the hottest high flyer not too long ago?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Ricochet and Dante shake hands to show there is respect here. They circle, tie up, and Ricochet headlocks for a takeover. Dante headscissors but Ricochet moves around, rolls Dante, then floats to a headlock. Dante fights back up, but Ricochet wrenches to wristlock. Dante goes for ropes but Ricochet keeps him back. Ricochet continues to keep Dante from the ropes, so Dante just front flips on his own! Dante arm-drags free and the fans fire up! Dante and Ricochet hurry to their feet, but Dante knees low! Dante whips but Ricochet blocks and reels Dante in for a back suplex, only for Dante to land on his feet!
Dante bobs ‘n’ weaves, shoves Ricochet, but Ricochet avoids the dropkick! Jackknife bridge, TWO as Dante bridges up! Dante spins Ricochet, but Ricochet turns that to a backslide! TWO, and Ricochet whips. Dante leaps for a sunset flip! Ricochet stays up, tucks Dante for a sunset flip of his own, TWO! Dante swings, Ricochet dodges and rolls back to RANA, but both men get up! Ricochet DROPKICKS Dante down and the fans fire up! We get a shot of MVP once again liking what he sees. Dante goes to a corner, Ricochet runs up, but Dante slips out! Ricochet hits buckles, then Dante goes up, around, and ROCKS Ricochet!
Dante aims but Ricochet runs up. Dante jumps over as Ricochet slides out, and then Dante ASAI MOONSAULTS! Ricochet avoids it, Dante lands on his feet, and now Ricochet goes up a corner to MOONSAULT! Dante dodges and he JUMP KNEES! Ricochet sputters as he leans against the apron, and Dante slides in. Dante keeps moving, but Ricochet springboards! Dante ducks under, runs at Ricochet, but Ricochet goes up and over! Dante puts Ricochet on the apron but Ricochet ENZIGIRIS! Ricochet springboards again, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Dante survives and the fans fire up as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Dante rolls to the apron but Ricochet goes right after him. Ricochet kicks Dante to the floor, then hops down to fetch him. Ricochet CHOPS Dante, ROCKS him, and Dante staggers around the way. Ricochet fires up the fans, but Dante DAREDEVIL DROPKICKS Ricochet through the corner! Now it’s Dante firing up the fans as he goes after Ricochet. Dante brings Ricochet around to CHOP against the desk! Dante puts Ricochet in the ring, fires back up, and he hurries in, only for Ricochet to CLOBBER him. Ricochet drops another elbow, and another! Dante flounders but Ricochet drags him up. Ricochet CHOPS Dante to a corner.
Ricochet UPPERCUTS Dante, then whips corner to corner. Dante hits buckles so hard, that he tumbles up and over, then to the floor! Ricochet lets the ring count climb a bit, and Dante stirs at 4 of 10. Dante rises, Ricochet eggs him on a bit, but Dante’s still down at 7 of 10. Dante stands at 8 and rolls in, only for Ricochet to drop knees! Ricochet rains down some fists, but the ref reprimands about closes fists. Ricochet swears he was using palm strikes. Ricochet drags Dante up, snapmares, and KICKS him in the back! Ricochet clamps on with a chinlock, and even traps an arm. Ricochet now shifts into a grounded cobra twist!
Dante endures, even as Ricochet throws punches into the ribs. Dante fights, rises up, and fires body shots! Ricochet CHOPS in return! Ricochet then scoops and SLAMS Dante, and Rampage returns to single picture as he climbs a corner. The fans fire up as Ricochet reaches the top, but Dante stands! Ricochet jumps over Dante, but Dante BOOTS him! Dante fires a flurry of forearms but Ricochet shoves him back. Ricochet runs up, Dante again slips to the outside, and Dante ROCKS Ricochet again. Dante springboards up and around for a CARTWHEEL CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives, he runs at Dante, but Dante goes up and over!

Ricochet survives and the fans rally up again. Dante waits on Ricochet to rise up, then he half nelsons. Lift and- NO, Ricochet slips free to dragon sleeper! VERTI- NO, Dante slips free! Ricochet arm-drags Dante away, then catches him, Wrench and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Roll through, deadlift, BRAINBUSTER! Ricochet roars while fans are torn, RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet is surprised!
MVP is himself a bit frustrated, but Ricochet fireman’s carries. Dante fires elbows, slips free, and goes to run, but Ricochet SUPERKICKS! Ricochet runs up, into an ELBOW! Dante uses the same up and over, only to get caught! BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Dante survives and Ricochet snarls. The fans fire up and Ricochet brings Dante up. Ricochet has the dragon sleeper, but Dante fires knees! Dante drops, victory rolls, TWO!! Ricochet catches Dante for a deadlift SAIDO!! The fans fire up as Ricochet takes aim! BANG and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
MVP nods, very impressed by The One & Only Ricochet. Ricochet’s arsenal certainly continues to grow, but he still shows respect to Dante. Will this momentum help Ricochet’s team take down The Don Callis Family this Wednesday Night Dynamite?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even with it being a five match night. Granted, it was clear Shida was going to win her match and LFI were going to win theirs. Well, so was Briscoe, but it was good stuff with Daivari getting a good showing and Rocky cancelling out Sterling so Briscoe would win. Great match from Rocky and Komander, too, and great win for Komander. Though, as MVP plugged in his promo, Komander is certainly losing to Shelton Benjamin, but I do appreciate the idea that anyone just floating around in the midcard could end up Hurt Syndicate material.
Ricochet VS Dante was a great main event, Ricochet of course won, but between being on Team Ospreay for Dynamite and Hurt Syndicate not leaving him alone, there are all kinds of possibilities for Ricochet. And great promos to hype up the two women’s matches we’re getting on Collision. That’s right, we’re getting two women’s matches! Harley continues to be hilarious, and I like this gag that she never has enough time to get her full madness out. Very good promo from Anna with Taya making a surprise appearance. Given Mariah is more than likely to win tomorrow night, Anna needs something outside of titles so I suppose a feud with The Vendetta could be something. Maybe it’s also a way to bring Tay Conti/Tay Melo back into story since it’d be a tag team feud?
My Score: 8.7/10
