The first 30 MINUTES of NXT are commercial free!

Roxanne Perez is here!

The Prodigy is once again the NEW NXT Women’s Champion, and she smiles as she soaks up both the cheers and the jeers. Roxie gets the mic and says, “Are you guys even surprised? Are you really surprised?” Some fans chant “You Deserve It!” and others chant “No You Don’t!” but Roxie tells them all to shut up! She didn’t need that a year ago, she doesn’t need it now. Last Saturday at Stand & Deliver was justice! Justice for the woman who want over a YEAR without her title! It was the culmination of a journey Roxie was forced to go on against her will. But now, all is right in the world again!

And to Lyra, you know as well as Roxie does that your desire to be an honorable champion is why your arm wasn’t at 100%. But Roxie saw that arm all wrapped up as a target! Roxie didn’t care if she broke it. Fans tell Roxie to shut up but Roxie tells them no, she’ll talk as long as she wants cuz she’s the champ! THEY can shut up! Lyra says she’s honorable, but Roxie says she’s stupid. Pathetic and embarrassing even! Because regardless of how, Roxie is still here our TWO-TIME NXT Women’s Champion. And now there is nothing anyone can do to take this from her! Now everything is on her terms, and she dares anyone to tell her otherwise!

And honestly, the next time Roxie gets this “taken” from her is when she forfeits it after being drafted by either Raw or SmackDown! So for now, enjoy seeing this while you can. Wait, Lyra is here? Her arm is in a sling but Lyra says, “Wow… Is this what we’re in store for? You’ve been champion for two days. Two days! And you’re packing your bags? What? Too good for NXT now? Stay on Raw, go to SmackDown, but the NXT Women’s Championship stays here! With Lyra! Because she wants her rematch! And I want it TONIGHT!” Roxie says c’mon, Lyra isn’t even cleared. Her arm is hanging on by a thread. Does Lyra wanna really waste her rematch tonight?

Oh, Lyra might not be ready! But Tatum Paxley is! Tatum hugs Lyra, but Lyra says yes, okay, it’s great that Tatum is sticking up for her. And yes, Lyra is sorry for what she said while she was angry. But she’s good! She can do this! Tatum asks, “Are you?” Tatum RAMS her into steel steps!! Tatum says it’s no longer Lyra’s to have! Refs drag Tatum away, the fans and Lyra all shocked that Tatum is no longer Lyra’s biggest fan. Roxie just laughs and waves to them both, then says we wont’ be seeing a title match after all. Sorry not sorry. WAIT! Now Natalya storms out! The Queen of Harts says Roxie is so adorable. She’s not leaving, is she? Because it sounds like the fans want a title match!

The fans fire up and cheer Natty on as she gets in the ring. Natty says she didn’t forget how Roxie has been rude to her. Natty forgot more about this business than Roxie will ever learn> But there is still one title Natty’s never won and it’s the NXT Women’s Championship. So let’s do Prodigy VS BOAT, for the NXT Women’s title! And tonight! Yeah, nah, hard pass. This is Roxie’s show, her title, and her division. But thanks for coming. WAIT! Now the General Manager is here! And Ava says sorry, Roxie, but that’s not how this works. If this past weekend has shown us anything, it is that we are in a new era.

And as the first show after Stand & Deliver… Ava says it might just be Roxie VS Natty for the title. But no, now that she thinks about it, it DEFINITELY will be! Roxie says okay, and then she swings on Natty! Natty trips her first! Roxie scrambles away from the Queen of Harts, clutching to her title! Is Roxie’s reign going to end already? Or will she manage to sink The BOAT?

NXT Anonymous is watching.

They shared footage from after Stand & Deliver, Ava talking with Axiom & Nathan Frazer. That conversation also played out on Twitter, and it was decided that with how incredibly close Axiom & Frazer came, they are going all or nothing! They get one more shot at the Wolf Dogs, and JUST this shot! Will they make it count when there’s no other option?

Backstage interview with Axiom & Frazer.

Kelly Kincaid is with them, saying the Stand & Deliver rematch is tonight. One last chance. They were this close, but it has to be different. If they don’t win, they don’t get another shot at the titles so long as the Wolf Dogs have them. Frazer feels it is their destiny! Axiom says this team may have been thrown together from friendship, but with the respect they have for each other, they found something different. They belong at the top! They talked about the loss, about the rematch. Frazer knows that they never slow down, but if this is the end, then it’s been one hell of a ride, amigo. They shake on it and head out, will they make up for falling short in Philadelphia?

Chase U is celebrating!

Andre Chase talks with Riley Osborne, Duke Hudson, Fallon Henley & Kelani Jordan, recapping the highlights of that Six Woman Tag victory. But now there’s also the big 2v2 match, Fallon & Kelani VS Kiana & Izzi. Mr. Chase wants to thank them for their help at Stand & Deliver, and are given honorary degrees! Thea runs in and asks if she missed it. No, just in time! She celebrates, too, and then Jacy & Jazmyn step in! Riley keeps Thea from attacking and asks what they’re even doing here. Jacy says relax, she’s not here to fight. This time. But she just came to ask Professor Chase a question.

After the “victory party,” is Chase finally going to tell everyone the real reason Jacy had to bail the school out of debt? Considering it was… all her fault! Whoa, hey, the past is the past. Please leave. No, she won’t. That package Rizzo delivered said it all. Thea, remember back to the Great American Bash, and the towel. Turns out Chase here placed a BIG bet on Thea winning the NXT Women’s Championship. But instead of watching Thea suffer, he decided to throw in the towel. Guess this idiot cares more about a loser like Thea than his school. So much for her rebellious stage. How ironic that this whole time, Thea was the problem.

Thea says that isn’t true. Is it? Chase says yes, it’s true. He placed a wager, and he shouldn’t have, but when it comes down to the school or Thea, he bets on Thea the whole time. Thea still storms out, upset that Jacy’s actually telling the truth for once. The school has recovered, but has the student-teacher relationship been broken forever?

Fallon Henley & Kelani Jordan VS Kiana James & Izzi Dame!

The Cowgirl & Gym Princess won big on Saturday, but the Calculator never lets go of a grudge. Will Kiana and her insurance policy turn things right around? Or will it be another big win for Fallon & Kelani?

The Cowgirl took the bullet, and that helps Kiana & Izzi take this win! With the Women’s North American Championship on the horizon, does this put Kiana in pole position for the title chase?

Je’von Evans speaks.

“I got my own hype video? This is sick! Let’s do it.” Evans says he is ready to grind, having been through Level Up. NXT ’bout to find out that your boi is BOUNCY~! The Young OG is coming, see you Tuesday! Evans had fun doing that, will he have even more fun now that he’s reached the next level?

Out The Mud watches that.

Scrypts can’t stand it! Evans has been out of Level Up two minutes and he says he’s “the Young OG.” That boy bouncy? Well Scrypts is gonna bounce him! Jaida says tonight, OTM gets two wins! Hit their music! Scrypts, Jaida, Bronco Nima & Lucien Price head out, will they look to dominate this new era?

The No Quarter Catch Crew talks backstage.

Damon Kemp asks how Bloodsport went, and Charlie Dempsey says it was something else. No ropes, knockouts and submissions only, some of the toughest fighters he’s ever seen. This black eye didn’t stop him from winning. So it doesn’t matter if it is here or anywhere else in the world, the NQCC holds themselves to a standard that none of them are exempt from. Myles Borne says no pity, no remorse. That “situation” with their friend, it’s getting sorted. Luca Crusifino walks over and says yes, he and the Family heard about that. But The Don’s not here, he’s in Boca for the week. You’ll have to wait to get your answer.

And we all know the who, what, when, where and why. Stacks says it’s a real shame. The NQCC talk like they’re tough guys but they aren’t gonna go do the work themselves. They don’t wanna get their hands dirty. Watch your mouth! Or what? Or they’ll shut it for them! Is there a problem here? Rizzo says yeah, there is. And they can settle it, tonight. Sounds good to NQCC. Then will the Underboss & Legal Eagle have to worry about the Catch Clause?

Je’Von Evans VS SCRYPTS w/ Out The Mud!

NXT returns as the 19 year old prospect makes his entrance. Evans is bouncy, but has he truly leveled up? Or will Scrypts show Evans he isn’t the main character of this story?

OTM rushes in but Evans bounces, as in gets outta there! Evans is just getting started, is he going to establish himself as THE future of NXT?

Kelly Kincaid spots Ridge Holland backstage.

She was rehearsing announcements when she saw Yorkshire Grit walking in. She asked him how he was and he said he’s okay. Really? Because first he said he was walking away, then showed up on the Stand & Deliver panel. Which was great, but then he goes and attacks Joe Gacy. Has Ridge seen Gacy? He just wants to apologize for that, it was like a freak out reaction. Gacy peeks his head in from behind a curtain! Gacy says he gets it, Ridge went from being WWE Superstar inside the ring to a panelist on the biggest show of the year not getting in the ring. Gacy gets that has to mess with Ridge. Ridge says forget it, no apologies!

Ridge storms off, but LWO is there. They say they knew Ridge was destroying people on SmackDown, so they’re not buying this apology tour anyway. Ridge pushes past them, Cruz asks what the hell, but then Ridge slams the door shut on Cruz quite literally! Joaquin bets that was an “accident” too, right? Ridge’s frustrations keep piling up, will he really be able to step away and find peace of mind?

NXT Women’s Championship: Roxanne Perez VS Natalya!

The Prodigy doubted The Queen of Harts was going to bother showing up tonight, but it wasn’t a bluff! Natalya is here to finally add this title to her collection, will she do it? Or will The Boat be sunk after tonight?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who has the winning hand!

The Mayor of Vice City screws Natty over for how Natty got the better of her weeks ago! But a win is a win for Roxie, will she reign all the way through the WWE Draft?

The Wolf Dogs meet backstage.

Baron Corbin is all fired up, and he pats “Big Boy” Bron Breakker on the stomach as he asks if he feels good. Nathan & Axiom couldn’t get it done Saturday, so- They won’t get it tonight! Wow, now he’s finishing Corbin’s sentences. Bron’s doing too much. Bron says Corbin loves hanging out with him. No he doesn’t. But Corbin wants Bron to admit Corbin was right. Stand & Deliver, the losing streak is over all thanks to Corbin. Bron needs to admit that this team is a good thing. Bron didn’t wanna do it at first but look at them now! Admit it’s good! Bron will not admit it, because that’s what Corbin wants.

Bron heads out, then comes back to say he’s joking! Wolf Dogs 4 Life! Corbin hates when Bron does that! But will they both keep the good times rolling with another win? Or does this come to a screeching halt here tonight?

NXT Media catches up with Lola Vice.

They ask her why she got involved in the Women’s Championship match, and Lola says that’s a dumb question. She’s sick and tired of waiting for opportunities! Instead, she’s making her own! Lola has her eyes everywhere. She sees the NXT Women’s Championship, and she can’t wait for the NXT Women’s North American Championship either. But here comes Natty! She CLOBBERS Lola, fires off haymakers, and then refs rush in to stop this! Will the Queen of Harts just have to wait to have her revenge?

No Quarter Catch Crew VS Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo & Luca Crusifino w/ Adriana Rizzo!

The Catch Clause keeps us guessing, but Myles Borne & Damon Kemp step up after all. And while the Philly Stretcher is dealing with some rowdy accusations, will his team hold down the fort? Or will the D’Angelo Family make The Don proud while he takes some time away?

Winners: Channing Lorenzo & Luca Crusifino, by pinfall

If anyone knows how to play the numbers game, it’s The D’Angelo Family! Will NQCC have to go back to the drawing board if they want to defend their reputation?

Oba Femi is here!

The fans fire up as The Ruler is still NXT North American Champion, even after that truly brutal battle of big meaty men slapping meat! Oba struts his way into the ring, gets a mic, and he says, “Some things in life are just inevitable. Going into Stand & Deliver, I didn’t just believe, I knew I was going to retain my North American Championship.” The fans applaud that. Oba knew it would be the genesis of his rule over this division, and he was glad to find out he was correct. “Nobody can deny the impressiveness of Josh Briggs and Dijak.” The fans applaud that, too, but Oba says that means his win over those two titans puts Oba at the top of the mountain that no one can climb!

17 THOUSAND people witnessed Oba’s power! Every crushing blow, every earthshattering slam. But the only thing Oba could think of was this very moment, here in this ring, after the fact, Oba standing in front of the NXT Arena crowd, STILL the North American Champion! The fans cheer that, too! And that will not change for a very, very long time, and that is inevitable. WAIT! Ivar is here?! The fans fire up as the War Beard comes back to NXT! Ivar tells Oba, “I can tell by the look on your face you didn’t foretell that I’d be here tonight. The whole word is talking about your match from Saturday. And when I saw that match… I loved the chaos!”

Ivar says three big men beating the hell out of each other…! Desperately trying to win that championship! The fans chant “SLAP THAT MEAT!” Ivar says that is exactly the type of fight he lives for. Oba knows Ivar didn’t come here just to compliment him. What does Ivar want? What does he want? Oh, Oba. When Ivar watched that match, he felt a deep, deep jealousy. Not just for that title around Oba’s shoulder… But because Ivar wanted to be in that fight! Briggs and Dijak threw everything they had, but Oba remained the immovable object. But as Ivar looks at Oba now, Ivar knows that he is the man who can chop him down! Ivar is the man who can take that title!

Oba is amused, and he tells Ivar, “We shall see.” But Ivar keeps Oba from leaving, and says “Yeah, you’re right. We’ll see.” Oba ROCKS Ivar, but then Ivar cartwheels and BOOTS! Oba wobbles, right into the SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY!! The fans fire up as the Viking Raider holds up the belt! Is the raid going to bring Ragnarök to The Ruler?

The Meta Four is backstage.

Noam Dar says that was the biggest week in WWE history! And Meta Four kicked it off! Lash Legend says that’s right, because they’re breaking records, baby, okaaay~? Jakara Jackson says that was the best Stand & Deliver ever, and they got to host the most attended NXT event in history! Dar says with Meta Four, the numbers are guaranteed. But speaking of hosting, how was Dar? He was incredible~! Check, please! Money money! Oro, what’s going on? Why the long face? Oro says that idiot, Oba, goes and slams him with a door! He thinks he can do whatever he wants! Everyone laughs at Oro and says Oba’s so great, so dominant!

Dominant Oro’s ass!! Oro wants to be the guy to end the title reign! And trust him, he will. The others don’t seem to believe him… He gets upset and they do their best to say no, they do believe in him! But then Dijak steps in! Meta Four is on guard but Dijak says he saw their little parody of him. It was actually awesome. Which one came up with that? Uh, well… Dar says it was all his idea. And now he can see why Dijak’s so miserable! Down there, all alone in the dark. Dijak needs less ratio, more sunshine. So please, knock next time. Right, right, great advice. But everyone gets one. Dar won’t get another. Dijak storms out, is #HardJustice coming for the Supernova?

Brinley Reece w/ Malik Blade & Edris Enofe VS Jaida Parker  w/ OTM!

#BrinEnergy is all about finding the positives even during hard times. Will Jaida do just that and use Scrypts’ loss earlier as motivation to get this win? Or will NXT go to #BrinfinityAndBeyond?

The bell rings, the two circle, and they tie up. They’re in a deadlock, but Jaida puts Brin on the ropes. Brin turns things around, Jaida turns it back around, but Brin powers out of the corner. They break the collar ‘n’ elbow then go again. Jaida gets an arm, wrenches, but Brin rolls, kips up and wrenches back. Jaida ROCKS Brin, CHOPS her, then storms up in the corner. Jaida blocks Brin’s boots, puts her in the ropes, and CHOPS her again! Brin is stuck in the ropes, Jaida CLUBs her! Jaida runs up and HIP DROPS IT LIKE IT’S HOT! The fans fire up with Jaida while Brin writhes, and NXT goes to break.

NXT returns and Jaida has Brin down with an armlock. Brin endures, the fans rally up, but Jaida grinds that shoulder. Jaida thrashes Brin around, but Brin fights up to her feet. Brin wrenches and clamps right onto Jaida’s arm! But Jaida turns that back around on Brin! Brin turns it back onto Jaida, but Jaida turns it back onto Brin! They go back and forth with the armlock, then Jaida pulls hair to put Brin in a corner. Jaida RAMS into Brin, brings her around to whip, but Brin reverses! Brin runs in but Jaida ELBOWS her away! Jaida goes up to BLOCKBUSTER! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up but Jaida CLUBS Brin down.

Jaida digs her knee in, then she bends Brin with a chinlock stretch! The fans rally as Brin endures, and Brin fights up to throw body shots! Jaida CLUBS Brin back down, then runs up.

Brin drags Jaida up and fireman’s carries. Jaida slips free, KNEES low, then runs, to DECK Brin! Jaida says Brin can’t hang with her! Jaida runs to HIP ATTACK! Cover, Jaida wins!

Winner: Jaida Parker, by pinfall

Brin just got hip checked and OTM manages to go 1-1. Will Miss Parker be primed for the coming Women’s North American Championship opportunity? Can Brin find the positive in this crushing defeat?

Arianna Grace goes on and on and on…

She talks about how she was telling “Giorgina” she must be beautiful at all times so you’re always ready. Just like Arianna was at Stand & Deliver. So, Sol, they’re close, right? Arianna was the best kept secret of WrestleMania Weekend. Sol stifles a laugh, but then Arianna says there’s gonna be an NXT Women’s North American Championship! Sol says yeah, she’s so excited. Dibs on being first. Hah, that’s nice. Arianna says she loved this, but she has to take this call. It’s “Giorgina,” so Arianna exits the room. Lola storms in, fuming over Natty getting at her! Natty thinks she can come back to NXT and do whatever she wants! Does she even know who Lola is!?

Sol wants Lola to calm down. Natty did beat Lola, and Natty is The Boat. Lola should’ve known Natty would come for payback since Lola just cost her the NXT Women’s Championship. Anyone would. Lola tells Sol that she doesn’t know what hole she crawled out of, but she can go back there. A lot has changed since she’s been gone. And you’re just trash! Whatever, dude. Lola is lashing out, but will she have to watch her back next time Natty’s in town?

NXT Tag Team Championships: Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin VS Axiom & Nathan Frazer!

From the Dusty Rhodes Classic to Stand & Deliver, the Wolf Dogs just seem to have the number of the fast ‘n’ furious duo that stands across from them. But they also say third time’s the charm, so something’s gotta give! Will the trilogy of this series see Bron & Corbin still saying #AndStill?

Winners: Axiom & Nathan Frazer, by pinfall (NEW NXT Tag Team Champions)

This dynamic duo weren’t able to Stand & Deliver on Saturday, but they found a way to pull it off here tonight! WAIT! Is that The Final Testament’s music!? Karrion Kross & Scarlett storm out from the stage, but the AOP attack from the crowd!! The fans are freaking out as Kross tells Akam & Rezar to do it! SUPER COLLIDER!! The Authors of Pain hold the titles up, will they write the next chapter of NXT themselves?

NXT Spring Breakin’ is back and bigger than ever!

This year, the party will be a TWO WEEK SPECIAL! Tuesday, April 23rd, and Tuesday, April 30th, NXT is going to have a wild time! Who wins big going into the WWE Draft, and who will still be here to play after?

Trick Williams is here!

The fans are thunderous with “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” because in Philadelphia, that’s what he did to Carmelo Hayes! Trick gets a mic to say he loves it! Check it check it check it, they went to Philly, stood and delivered, and went to war. NXT is hotter now than it ever has been, and that’s thanks to everyone here in this building, and Trick appreciates them for real. But don’t get it twisted! NXT is breaking records! Over 16 THOUSAND in that building! They’re feeling it, Trick’s feeling it, this is a new era! Tell ’em what we gonna do? “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” Trick is all fired up now, and he wants us to hear him out.

We see Trick here in this ring, in this position, but it isn’t without one man, and that man is Carmelo Hayes. The fans boo but Trick says hey, he doesn’t agree with what Melo did, how he did it, why he did it, all that. But Melo is still… HIM. That’s why Trick had to show HIM just who Trick Willy is, let’s talk about it! At WrestleMania, we saw Bayley get her title, we saw Cody Rhodes #FinishTheStory. That leaves Trick thinking, what’s next for his story? What’s the next chapter? And as Trick flew back to Orlando, he couldn’t help but smile. He knows what’s next, we all know what’s next, and if Trick wants to be the man in NXT… he needs to slay the Mad Dragon.

The fans fire up and Trick says he knows Ilja is here. Please come on out so we can talk about it. And here comes the NXT Champion! Dragunov has a mic to tell Trick, “The main event of Stand & Deliver, I am so, so proud of the superstar that you have become. You have something that no one else in WWE possess. It’s that Trick Willy charisma!” The fans cheer that, and Dragunov says Trick is exactly what NXT needs. Trick says what this brand needs is Trick VS Dragunov for the championship one more time. The fans chant “One More Time!” and Dragunov says Trick is feeling it right now. Full of himself, as he should be!

Trick got revenge on Melo at Stand & Deliver! Trick feels he is on top of the world! Trick is the leader of a hungry locker room, full of young and hungry competitors, and Dragunov sees it in Trick’s eyes. Trick wants another shot at Dragunov’s title. And Dragunov’s answer is… NO! The fans gasp and Trick is confused! Dragunov says Trick had his chance and failed! Now it is time for another to get their opportunity. Trick says hold on, hold on. He knows Dragunov is the man around here and all, but who does Trick need to beat to get his shot? What gauntlet does Trick have to run to get another go?

Trick wants Dragunov to understand, there is nothing and no one that will stop him from getting at the  NXT Championship. Dragunov says persistence is a great attribute. He appreciates it. But Trick is also a risk taker. This is the biggest risk Trick will ever take. Then what’s the stakes? Dragunov knows Trick wants a shot, then he has it in two weeks at Spring Breakin’. BUT! If Trick loses this time… Trick must leave NXT! Trick thinks about the ramifications, but Trick says if he can’t beat Dragunov, if he can’t slay the Mad Dragon, then he doesn’t belong in NXT. He accepts the challenge!

They shake on it and the match is made! But then MELO CLOBBERS TRICK AND DRAGUNOV!! FIRST 48 on Trick!! Melo hammers fists on Trick while the fans boo! Melo stomps away on Trick, paces around, then picks up the title. The fans chant “Melo Got Whooped!” but Melo says Trick won’t even make it to Spring Breakin’! Next week, he beats Trick inside a STEEL CAGE!! It seems Trick is far from through with… HIM! Will the steel cage be a brutal punctuation on this story between the former friends?

My Thoughts:

A great NXT to follow Stand & Deliver, though it also exposed a bit of a “lame duck” period going on here. The WWE Draft is coming back, it’s clear NXT is going to get gutted in some form or another, so there’s quite a bit of rehashing things to stall for time. The main event match as well as closing segment are certainly indicative of that. While an “all or nothing” situation for Axiom & Frazer added to how great tonight’s tag match was tonight, why not just let them win at Stand & Deliver? And then Final Testament getting the “callback” treatment already? Didn’t think they were that dead in the water creatively…

And while obviously Trick would want the NXT Championship match again, and while Dragunov escalated it to a Loser Leaves NXT kind of situation, Melo coming back for a steel cage match is bit of a mixed bag. I suppose a lot of this is so that the NXT Arena crowd can get their goodbye moments with Wolf Dogs, Melo and maybe Trick, if not Ilja. After all, Spring Breakin’ sandwiches the WWE Draft, so those could very well be the last nights some of these superstars have as part of NXT.

Really good stuff in the Women’s Championship story, especially Tatum turning on Lyra. Who knows if Lyra is nursing an actual injury or she’s just getting a head start on leaving NXT for RawDown, but that was a powerful moment. Roxie VS Natty for the women’s title was a great match, but we should’ve figured Lola would get involved. Good stuff going into a Lola VS Natty rematch, though it feels like they shouldn’t have had the first match now, seems rather redundant. Good promo from Grace with Sol, and good promo from Chase U with Jacy revealing the big plot twist about Chase’s debts. While all the ladies want that Women’s North American title, I think it’d make for a great moment if Thea won that title for Chase U.

Good stuff with the OTM members, and Je’Von Evans is incredible! Only 19 but he’s got that camera charisma and he of course has those in-ring moves. Then Jaida gets a good win to keep herself going even while OTM has cooled off a bit from their debut. And while we got a really good tag match for the D’Angelo Family to get a win, I do appreciate the way they were just vague enough with this “situation.” AKA Ronda Rousey oddly trying to cancel culture Drew Gulak for a misunderstanding that he claims was cleared up same day. But Gulak aside, the win for the D’Angelos could set up something real fun for the Heritage Cup come Spring Breakin’.

Great bit with Ridge, Gacy and LWO. I am still iffy on them using “he’s dangerous!” as an angle for Ridge, as well as mental health concerns, but they’re doing a good job of executing things. Ridge is definitely going to end up facing Gacy, but I also feel like Shawn Spears needs to be by Ridge’s side now since Spears can take credit for bringing out this “true” Ridge Holland or something. And really good confrontation between Oba and Ivar tonight. The fans love the idea of “MEAT! MEAT!” and we’re definitely gonna get that here. And good stuff with Dijak and Meta Four. Dijak is probably gonna pulverize Dar while Oro is gonna get thrown around by Oba, maybe we get Meat Mania 2 during Spring Breakin’, now with Ivar.

My Score: 8.7/10
