It’s the Clash at the Castle Countdown Show!
Join Michael Cole, Kevin Owens & Big E in discussing, analyzing and predicting all the action going down in Glasgow!
Exclusive interview with Drew McIntyre.
Jackie Redmond sat down with The Scottish Warrior, she asked how he’s doing. Marvelous! Medically cleared in time for Clash at the Castle. How much does this event mean to him? Well, it wasn’t a thing growing up. There were no PLE’s in Scotland. It was all about making it to WrestleMania, did it. Won, that was cool. Won it again before getting screwed over, but main eventing the first PLE in Scotland? Beyond a dream come true. Then what does Scotland mean to him? McIntyre will sum it up with lyrics, Caledonia. Poetic name for Scotland. “Scotland, let me tell you that I love you, I think about you all the time. Caledonia, you’re calling, now I’m coming home.”
So when you think of Glasgow, what memories come to mind? What lessons did he learn before traveling the world? He spent four years there, at university. He can’t really talk about those lessons, not PG. But what he can share is to speak your mind, be passionate. If someone goes too far and runs their mouth, give them a “kiss” between the eyes. AKA the Glasgow Kiss. That tracks. And this isn’t his first Clash at the Castle. He was at the first, in Cardiff, and it didn’t go his way. Could he take us back to that night and how that felt?
McIntyre never felt that kind of emotion from a crowd. They were 100% in his corner, his family and friends were there, but “The Elders” had Solo Sikoa screw him over. That was a shot through Drew’s heart, through his family’s heart, through The UK’s heart, and he can’t let that happen again. Is he over that yet? Nope, absolutely not. Will he ever be? Nope. He didn’t think about it, pushed it down, but things flare it up. Ten months, still waiting for an apology, but people have such short term memory. Trauma doesn’t go away easily.
There is a lot the last year that has upset him, yet Drew’s renewed with the WWE? Why is it important to be here even though he gets upset? To be honest, he was thinking of taking time off. He was at the end of his contact, he’d just lost his sister in law, his wife’s sister, and she was struggling, the family was struggling. He went home to a wedding, got to see people he hadn’t gotten to see in so long. He wanted to think what was best for his future. But he and his wife talked, and they both agreed that it wasn’t time to walk away. You don’t walk away from the table when you’re on a heater. So they wanted to figure out what’d work for his career.
Thankfully, WWE was on the same page, they’ve gotten a situation figured out so McIntyre can give as much as he can to both family and career. He’s so obsessive with this business that it’s good to have that balance. Jackie likes that saying, “you don’t walk away when you’re on a heater.” WWE right now definitely feels like it has the heat, so what does he make of the state of the company? Everyone top to bottom is killing it, even interviewers like Jackie. We haven’t had a roster this talented in the ring and people who have found themselves. The matches are on a different level, just look at the numbers. BILLION dollar contracts!
Now it is up to the roster to get it done. The only thing that needs improving is the World Heavyweight Championship, and that means taking it from Damian Priest. More of this interview to come later on in the Countdown.
Backstage interview with The Alpha Academy.
Cathy Kelley is with Chad Gable, Otis & Maxxine Dupri ahead of Gable’s Intercontinental Championship match with Sami Zayn. Gable, in Montreal, you came up short- Er, didn’t win… So how is tonight going to differ? Gable says tonight, the family is in line. They are taking orders the right way. So you will see a whole different game play out tonight. They’re here, they know the plan, and they will help him win HIS championship, no matter what. Then Maxxine, you’re in a boot, how are you feeling physically and emotionally? Gable says she’s fine! Right? Tell her! She’s fine! Don’t worry about that.
What matters is that Sami’s reign ends tonight, at the hands of Gable’s family, Maxxine, Otis and- Wait, where’s Tozawa? Otis, you were supposed to keep track of him. Tozawa’s gonna pay for this on Monday. Gable storms off, Otis & Maxxine follow, but will this really go how Gable wants?
Backstage interview with Bayley.
Cathy Kelley is with the WWE Women’s Champion and “Michael Cole’s favorite,” and wishes her a happy birthday! Bayley thanks Cathy, and Cathy figures the celebration should be after Clash and a win tonight. Is Bayley concerned about Piper’s hometown advantage? Bayley knows how important it is to be in front of your hometown, and she has respect for Piper. Piper laid the foundation for how WWE is even here right now. But she is also the same person that has been attacking Bayley for the last month, and ran Bayley into the wall last night. Bayley is a champion who fights for what she believes in. So sorry, but she has to beat Piper in front of her loved ones tonight.
Cathy says they were going to send this back to Cole but she’ll let Bayley do the honors. Oh, of course. “Dear Michael Cole, back to you, you idiot!” Will The Role Model give herself the best birthday present possible by getting passed Piper Niven to head for SummerSlam?
Chelsea Green joins the panel.
She doesn’t like Cole telling everyone she’s the sidekick and valet to Piper. They’re like chocolate & vanilla. Okay, but what is all this “we” stuff? Sorry, does Cole not have experience in healthy relationships? They are going to win the title. Kevin Owens says there was a time when he won the Universal Championship with the help of a Canadian from Winnipeg, and they tried to say “they” won the titles, but that didn’t end well. Big E does bring up when Leyla & Michelle McCool did that as #LeyCool. Yes, and so it will not end terribly because it won’t end, Chelsea and Piper will be together forever.
Then how does Piper feel about her chances tonight? Oh, Miss P was born ready, so she is super confident, and she also has Chelsea in her corner so she’s absolutely ready. Then with all this pressure, can Piper pull it off? Big E says yes. Chelsea may have…Â unenviable qualities, but she is in Piper’s corner, and that support has helped Piper feel confident. Yes, Chelsea has feeling Piper feeling confident and pretty and rich and skinny and tanned, just like Chelsea, and that is why Piper will win. Okay, then can Chelsea go and help Piper get ready? Chelsea says Cole will be hearing from her later. But will the Hot Mess help Piper take the title from Bayley tonight?
Exclusive interview with Drew McIntyre, part 2.
What does McIntyre say to certain critics who look at his actions and his words, and says he’s a hypocrite? Well a lot of people have done that. Number one is Michael Cole. Using Cole’s position of power in a way that is irresponsible. He was shouting McIntyre’s praises during Pandemic Era, and while Cole said it was all McIntyre, McIntyre said that was a team effort. But McIntyre doesn’t like certain people. If that makes him a bad guy, then say hello to the bad guy. Speaking of Pandemic Era, he won the title, but no fans. And then this year, he wins in Philadelphia, but loses it right away. Has any of this made him bitter?
No, those didn’t make him bitter. It made him stronger. Others would’ve broken apart, fallen down the card, left the company, but not him. He wants the ball in his hands, the company on his back, and he can carry them both. He has then, he will now, he’s still that same guy. And this time, in Scotland, it will be absolutely perfect and all worth it. Then in order to do that, he must beat Damian Priest. What does he think of Priest? McIntyres’ seen Priest’s evolution since NXT. He knows Priest’s backstory, his struggle, and Drew respects that journey and that talent. But in some ways, Priest is just playing champion, trying to find his role.
Priest is trying to get the buzz, the cheap pop, he’s focused on the wrong things. McIntyre tried to say that but Priest just shrugged it off, tried to be Mr. Machismo. McIntyre was just trying to help. Priest has hit his potential. McIntyre has been doing this for 20 YEARS, and that will show tonight. McIntyre’s mind reads 10 miles long, Priest’s is more like a notepad. Then finish this thought: Priest VS McIntyre, for the World Heavyweight Championship at Clash at the Castle, will be… Epic. The Scots are proud of their own, and one of their own will win.
Jackie thanks McIntyre for his time, they shake hands, and he says no real need to thank him. Warrior physically, warrior mentally. But will McIntyre be champion both physically and mentally?
A fight’s coming to Scotland.
The Scottish Warrior said he told us it was. A good ol’ square go. A waylay. Sorry, that’s the Scottish way of saying, “A beating.” Brutal. Unflinching. Ferocious. Never ever underestimate your opponent. It’ll be the last thing you remember. The Scots are known for their temper, so let’s make a deal. You bring the crazy, they will bring the fight. This is Clash at the Castle, and this is gonna be good!
Undisputed WWE Championship I Quit Match: Cody Rhodes VS AJ Styles!
The American Nightmare had respect for The Phenomenal One, which is why he gave it his all back at Backlash in France. But when Styles pulled a Mark Henry style trap, the respect went out the window, and the rulebook has gone out with it! Both men can do whatever they want to the other in an effort to get those dreaded two words out of them, but who will give in and give up in Glasgow?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and so are the stakes, all just to see who is undisputed!
The ref reminds everyone the rules: no pins, no submissions, no ring counts, no disqualifications. The fans already sing “CODY! CODY RHOOODES~!” like they did just last night. The bell rings and the fans are thunderous! Cody and Styles approach, Cody kicks then RHODES UPPERCUTS! Cody fires off hands, whips Styles hard into buckles, and Styles falls back! The fans are thunderous again and Cody gets Styles up to bump him off buckles. Cody ROCKS Styles, but has to shake out that beat up h and. Cody whips, Styles reverses then runs in. Cody goes up and over, to SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans continue to sing as Cody rises up.
Styles rises, Cody springboards, BEAUTIFUL- ATOMIC DROP! Styles CHOPS, CHOPS and bumps Cody off buckles. Styles CHOPS again, then bumps him off buckles. The fans boo but Styles CHOPS again! Styles whips corner to corner hard and Cody staggers back. Cody drops to his knees, the fans taunt Styles, but Styles storms up on Cody. Styles scoops, Cody slips free to JAB, JAB and JAB! Flip, flop, fly, BIONIC ELBOW! Styles staggers to ropes, Cody pats the mat and the fans fire up. Cody runs, and he DROPKICKS Styles out of the ring! The ref checks but Styles says get outta his face. Cody shrugs and looks under the ring.
The fans fire up, because Cody brings out a TABLE! Cody puts that aside real quick to stomp Styles down, then he gets a second table! The fans are loving this even more, and Cody sets up that second table first. Cody sees Styles go around the way, so he pursues! Cody whips Styles into and over the steps! Styles doesn’t stop here, so Cody gets him up to whip him into and over barriers! The fans fire up with Cody as he goes up onto the barrier, then AX HANDLES Styles down! The fans are even closer to the action as Cody throws hands on Styles! Styles hits back, they go to the back section but Cody throws more hands!
Cody SMACKS Styles with someone’s drink! The fans cheer more, and Cody ROCKS Styles again. Cody CLAWS Styles’ back, then whips, but Styles reverses to send Cody into railing! Styles KICKS Cody, brings him around, and whips him into the fire exit door! The fans fire up as this goes backstage, and Cody brawls with Styles in the hallway! Cody SMACKS Styles off a wall, fires more hands, then ROCKS him again. They go further back, end up by the tech area, and Cody SMACKS Styles off a trunk. Styles ROCKS Cody, then CHOKES Cody with a cable! Cody endures, throws elbows, and then shoves him into another wall.
The brawl goes off into another part of the backstage area, and they reappear by the bleachers! The fans fire up as the brawl goes back down the runway! Cody climbs up on Styles to rain down fists! Fans count, Cody stops at eight to CLAW Styles’ face! Styles staggers away, the fans stay fired up as Cody CLUBS Styles on the back. Cody brings Styles around but Styles blocks the bump to ROCK Cody! The fans chant “AJ SUCKS! AJ SUCKS!” but Styles gets in the ring. Cody trips Styles, steps through, FIGURE FOUR! Styles endures while the fans “WOO~!” Styles refuses to give up, and he drags himself around. Cody pushes on the leglock but Styles still endures!
Cody thrashes around, the fans are thunderous, but Styles goes to the ropes. The ropebreak won’t save him, but they do force Cody to let go from being scraped off. Styles rests on the apron but the fans continue to sing. Cody storms up on Styles, brings him up, but Styles fights the suplex! Styles then suplexes Cody and himself up and out of the ring and to the floor! A rough landing but the fans fire up again. Both men rise, and Styles fireman’s carries! DEATH VALLEY DRIVER on the desk! Cody writhes, Styles has a sinister grin, and he drags Cody off the desk, to suplex and BRAINBUSTERÂ on the desk!!
Styles shouts, “Ask the champ now!” The ref asks, but Cody says NO! Soo Styles BOPS Cody with the mic! And TOSSES Cody into the timekeeper’s area! Cody may have even hit the ring bell! Styles finds Mama Rhodes and talks trash to her! She gives it right back that he’s all bark and no bite! Styles stalks Cody, who is busted open! Styles DECKS Cody, then throws down more fists! Styles says, “We’ve got a bleeder!” Styles drags Cody up and into the ring, then stalks him. Cody sits up, Styles soaks up the heat, but Cody fires body shots! Styles DECKS Cody, then stomps him! Styles says he’s gonna hurt everyone’s hero!
The fans boo but Styles drags Cody up. Styles fireman’s carries, USHIGOROSHI! Cody writhes, the ref checks, but Cody says “Absolutely NOT!” Styles rains down fists on Cody, going right for that bloody forehead! Cody still says NO! Styles sighs, stalks Cody, and brings him up. Cody fires body shots! Cody ROCKS Styles, ROLLING ELBOWS, then runs, but into a DROPKICK! Cody falls and bails out while fans boo Styles. Styles grins, goes out after Cody, and SMACKS him off steel steps! Cody falls back but the fans tell Styles off. Styles soaks it up and throws the top steps away. Styles then drags Cody up to the base, like he did a couple weeks ago!
The fans boo as Styles reels Cody in, but Cody back drops free! The fans cheer and Cody rests for a moment. Cody then goes into the ring, rises up, and fires himself back up. The fans continue to sing as Styles gets in, and Cody ROCKS him! And ROCKS him again! And again! Cody fires off more shots, then roars, but Styles fires off the Phenomenal Blitz! Cody ducks the lariat to BEAUTIFUL DISASTER KICK! The fans are thunderous again as both men are down! Cody roars, the fans cheer, and Cody grabs Styles for a dragon sleeper! But Styles KNEES free, then PELES! Cody wobbles, Styles reels him in, DDT right at center!
Cody sputters, but he still tells the ref, “NO!” The fans cheer so Styles fishhooks the mouth! Styles adds on a chinlock and says he will make Cody quit! Styles ELBOWS Cody in the head, then he goes out to search under the ring. Styles finds a chair, slides that in, and stalks Cody. The fans want tables but Styles KICKS Cody down. Styles then puts the chair around Cody’s head! Styles CHOKES Cody, throws down fists, then goes to the ropes. KNEE DROPÂ on the chair!! Cody sputters, but how can he say the words when he can’t speak!? Cody still manages a “No!” and Styles is furious. Styles goes out again, and he finds a kendo stick!
Styles brings the stick in to SMACK Cody in the ribs! And SMACK him on the shoulder! And the leg! Styles says he’s gonna hurt Cody unless he quits. Styles SMACKS and SMACKS and SMACKS Cody, even while he’s down! Cody tries to sit up but Styles SMACKS him down again! Styles tells Cody to say it, but Cody shouts “HELL NO!” Styles is beside himself, and the fans continue to sing for “CODY! CODY RHOOODES~!” Styles takes off a belt to LASH Cody with it over and over and over again! Cody writhes, Styles says he’ll keep doing it unless he says those words! Styles then straps the belt around Cody’s head to pull him back!
Ironically, the blood makes the belt slip off, so Styles LASHES Cody with it. The fans tell Styles he messed up, but Styles goes for the STF! Styles wants Cody to say it, but even with Styles’ hands in his face, Cody says “NO!” The fans rally as hard as they can, and Cody pries at the hold! But is he fading out?! Blood loss, oxygen loss, Styles lets go! Styles thinks this is enough but this is an I Quit match. See Roman Reigns VS Jey Uso during Thunderdome Era. Styles is furious and says fine, he’ll wake Cody back up. Cody grabs some water, takes a swig, and brings the bottle in to splash Cody with it. Cody does wake up, and fans cheer for “H 2 O!”
Styles goes out, and he fetches a mysterious black bag! Styles says he knows what we’re thinking, but this is even better. Not tacks, but CUFFS! Styles grabs one hand and cuffs it, then gets the other! The fans say Styles is a “KINKY BASTARD!” but Cody’s hands are trapped behind him! Styles SMACKS away with the kendo stick, with no arms to guard! The ref checks with Cody, but Cody again says “NO!” Styles tells Mama Rhodes this is HER fault. Styles says Cody gets this from her! Mama Rhodes still says he’s all talk. Styles gets in her face, so she SLAPS him! And SLAPS him again!! AND AGAIN! That’s three!!
Styles grabs a chair!! Mama dares him to try! Styles backs off, but goes back to Cody, to SMACK him on the back! And again! Cody’s gotten his hands in front of him but now his back is the target! And wait, there’s more chain in the bag?! Styles wraps that chain around his arm, then goes to the apron. Styles aims, springboards in, but Cody has the chair! Cody CHUCKS it at Styles, Styles falls back and through the table!! A phenomenal crash and burn! Cody hurries to find the keys for the cuffs. Ah yes, right by the bag. The fans know “This is Awesome!” and Cody is free! Cody fires himself up and the fans are with him!
Styles crawls back into the ring, Cody CLOBBERS him with the cuffs! Styles is busted open, he runs in, but Cody dodges! Styles hits buckles, staggers, and Cody THROAT CHOPS! Then he fishhooks Styles, before a CODY CUTTER! The fans fire up again and the fans are electric!! Cody says Styles is gonna say it! CROSS RHODES!! But Cody isn’t done there, and the fans want him to keep going! Cody drags Styles back up, CROSS RHODES!! But the fans want that “One More Time! One More Time!” So Cody grabs the chair, places that down, and FULL METAL CROSS RHODES!! Styles sputters and fans chant “You Deserve It!”
Cody doesn’t want the ref to check just yet, he has more in mind. Cody has the chair, but then thinks of something else. Cody grabs the cuffs, and he puts them on Styles! The fans fire up as Cody drags Styles over, and cuffs him to the ropes! Styles can’t go anywhere now! Cody has a chair, and tells Styles to say it or else! JAM to the leg! SMACK to the back! SMACK to the front! And again, and again, and again! Cody tees off on Styles until he slumps down! The cuff keeps that one arm up, but Cody SMASHES Styles’ leg! The fans are thunderous, but Styles says “I… SCREW YOU, CODY RHODES!” The fans boo, but Cody can feel he’s close.
Cody JAMS Styles rather low with the chair, then goes out to grab the steel steps. Cody gets those steps in the ring with a toss, and Styles has moved to a corner. Cody lifts the steps back up, and holds them high over head! Styles says okay, okay! STYLES QUITS! CODY WINS!!
Winner: Cody Rhodes (still Undisputed WWE Champion)
Even Cody’s a bit surprised it ended there. Cody asks if Mama says this is good, and she says do it! STEEL STEP ATTACK! “WHOA~ OH~!” Cody made sure Styles was humbled, and Cody stands tall on the steps. Cody holds up the title, proving he doesn’t quit, he gets even! Will anyone be able to stop The American Nightmare now?
But wait! Solo Sikoa walks out on stage? He applauds Cody’s win, then smiles at him before staring him down. And then TAMA & LOA ATTACK! The fans boo as The Bloodline goes after Cody while he’s vulnerable! BUT HERE COMES ORTON! The Viper AND Kevin Owens go after The Bloodline, clearly nothing being over from last night! Now the numbers are even and the fans fire up! This brawl goes up and down the runway, then to the back! Will Nick Aldis have to figure this out for next Friday Night SmackDown?
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Triple Threat: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill VS Shayna Baszler & Zoey Stark VS Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn!
The StrongEST Duo has looked near unstoppable in their relatively short reign, but here in Glasgow, it’s bubble bubble, double the trouble! The Queen of Spades & Hunter were very close, while we’ve seen The Wicked Witches of Scotland hold titles before. Will Bianca & Jade be the ones that weather the storm? Or will there be new champions one way or another?

Isla snapmares Bianca so Zoey can BOOT! Tag back to Shayna, Isla drags Bianca up, but then Zoey & Shayna sucker punch the lasses! The fans boo but this was gonna happen eventually. Shayna kicks Isla around, whips her to a corner, then runs in to KNEE! Tag to Zoey, Shayna sweeps the legs and Zoey slingshot SENTONS! Bianca is back up but Zoey LARIATS her down! Zoey tags Shayna back in. Shayna has Isla up and kicks a leg.

In a Triple Threat, it isn’t about doing the most damage, it’s about hitting at the right time! Scotland cheers for THEIR WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, will this celebration last all night long?
WWE Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn VS Chad Gable w/ Otis & Maxxine Dupri!
The Great Liberator didn’t realize how deeply selfish “Master Gable” could be, but those true colors showed when Sami retained the title in Montreal. Things have gotten very personal, but can Sami show The Academy that they don’t need Gable’s abusive coaching? Or will The Academy do whatever it takes to finally bring Gable gold?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we’ll see just what it takes to win the big one!
There’s QR Code creepiness, something about we were told to prepare, and then the bell rings. The fans sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~!” for Sami as he circles with Gable. The two tie up, go around, and end up on ropes. They go along the ropes, off the ropes, back on the ropes, then in a corner. Sami has Gable, the ref counts, and Sami lets off slowly. The fans sing for Sami with a different song, “Sami, Sami Zayn! Sami Zayn! Sami, Sami Zayn! LALALALA!” Gable and Sami reset, tie up again, and are in a deadlock. Sami uses his height, but Gable puts Sami in the corner. Sami turns it around, but Gable turns it back around.
The ref counts, Gable grinds his forearms in, but lets off at 4. The fans boo, the two reset, and feel things out. They tie up, Gable waistlocks, but Sami wrenches to a wristlock. Gable rolls, spins, and headlocks. Fans chant for Otis but Sami endures the headlock grind. Gable hits the takeover, Sami headscissors, but Gable kips free. Roles reverses, Sami hits the takeover and Gable headscissors, but now Sami kips free. The fans rally while Maxxine looks worried. Gable and Sami feel things out, tie up, and Gable headlocks. Sami powers up and out, drops down, then hurdles. Sami arm-drags Gable, arm-drags again, but Gable avoids the third! AKNLE LOCK!
Sami scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! Gable lets off slowly, the fans chant “YOU SUCK!” Gable gives a shove as he lets off, and Sami storms up. Gable gets around, goes back to the headlock, but Sami powers out. Sami drops down, then TOSSES Gable up and out! The fans fire up as Sami builds speed, but Gable moves, so Sami Arabian Presses back in! The fans cheer as Sami eggs Gable on. Gable talks with Otis & Maxxine, and tells them to remember what he said. Gable storms up to the apron, then backs down. Sami rushes out, but Gable slides in! The fans cheer for Sami and Otis as they lock eyes! Sami tells Otis he doesn’t need Gable and Gable knows it.
Sami then goes back to Gable in the ring, and the two reset. They feel things out, Sami asks why Gable’s like this. Gable SLAPS! So Sami SLAPS! Gable swings, Sami ducks then SLAPS! Sami hits a takeover but Gable slips out to have the ANKLE LOCK! Sami gets the ROPEBREAK, but Gable KICKS the arm! Gable goes after the arm with knee drop after knee drop, then he SLAMS the arm on the mat. The fans taunt Gable, Sami shakes out his bad arm and goes to a corner. Gable wraps the arms around ropes, then CHOPS! Gable CHOPS again, then pulls on the arm! The ref counts, Gable lets off at 4, and Sami clutches the elbow.
Gable drags Sami up, hammerlocks that arm, then NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Sami is still in this but he shakes the arm out more. Gable storms around, drags Sami up by his arm and has a KEYLOCK! Sami endures, the fans rally, and Maxxine is even more worried than before.

Cathy Kelley is with the NEW Women’s Tag Team Champions, and knows they are emotional after their big win. A career highlight to say the least, what does this mean to them? It means so much! They promised to win out, and they did. Those other four had zero chance when these two had ALL of Scotland behind them. And she means ALL of Scotland. No way were they letting anyone down tonight. And they plan on keeping these belts for a long, long time.
WWE Women’s Championship: Bayley VS Piper Niven w/ Chelsea Green!
The Role Model’s road back to the top this year started with the Royal Rumble, and ended with her dethroning Iyo Sky at WrestleMania 40. However, the Scottish Bonecrusher has been walking a much longer, much harder road just to get this moment. Will Piper add to Scotland’s wins tonight in front of her own friends and family?

WWE World Heavyweight Championship: Damian Priest VS Drew McIntyre!
This is the moment of truth. The Punisher being Senor Money in the Bank took this title at WrestleMania 40 after The Scottish Warrior took his eye off the ball. But now, in his home country, McIntyre could have his fairytale ending, the perfect moment he could never have even dreamed of. And best of all, Judgment Day is banned from ringside, so it will be all about champion VS challenger! Will Priest prove he doesn’t need pawns to stay on the throne? Or will McIntyre finally make this HIS kingdom?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly championship material!

Cover, Priest wins!
Winner: Damian Priest, by pinfall (still WWE World Heavyweight Champion)
McIntyre claimed it was Punk’s fault at WrestleMania, but he can definitely blame Punk this time! Will Punk pay dearly for this? Priest survives thanks to the Second City Saint, but now The King of the Ring, Gunther, will be coming for him at SummerSlam. Will Priest definitely need some back up against Der Ring General? Or will they #ALLRISE in The Land?
My Thoughts:
An awesome Clash at the Castle, even if the Glasgow crowd wasn’t all that happy in the end. The moment Alba & Isla won the tag titles, I had a bad feeling McIntyre wasn’t going to win his match. That was an awesome match, but Priest getting stuck in the ropes was a scary moment. Hopefully he’s okay, that definitely had to suck. But a very clever move to have a ref spot and CM Punk to be the second ref. And they framed the shot so perfect to be a plot twist for us watching at home. Again, the crowd wasn’t happy about it but that’s just good storytelling for this ongoing McIntyre VS Punk feud. If McIntyre doesn’t give Punk like three Claymores before winning at SummerSlam, it won’t be enough payback.
But what a great moment for Alba & Isla to win here. The Women’s Tag Triple Threat was maybe a little too fast and too furious as Jade did botch that springboard attack, but she didn’t let it bother her. And then great use of the Triple Threat format for Alba & Isla to snipe the win, this can definitely turn into a feud between the Raw teams while Jade & Bianca maybe have to fight back up on SmackDown, or maybe even fall apart as a team. Really, anything can happen now. And as great as Piper was tonight, for the same reasons as McIntyre not winning, Piper did not win because Bayley is getting on that underdog Face champ track again, heading for SummerSlam and Nia Jax at full speed.
Great stuff in the Intercontinental Championship. It wasn’t quite how I saw it going, but Otis coming so close to hitting Gable was really good, and Otis rising above to worry more about Maxxine than anything else was a good move. Gable loses again, surely won’t get another title shot, but might end up having a match with Otis to kinda determine if Otis breaks free or is forever under Gable’s command. Sami can face just about anyone between here and SummerSlam, but I’m thinking it’s either Bron Breakker or Ilja Dragunov given how those two are bringing the intensity, which Sami can certainly match when he really wants to.
And then that I Quit match, as an opener that was like, 40 minutes I think, that was some great stuff. Naturally Cody found a way to bleed, and they got Mama Rhodes in on the action in a great way. But I do feel Styles giving up to the steel steps being brought in was a bit anticlimactic and abrupt. Maybe they realized they were going long and didn’t want to take the entire first hour just to get all the plot points in. But as great as Styles is, of course Cody was retaining here. Maybe, just maybe, Styles tries to win MITB for that one last chance, but he’ll have to qualify first so we’ll see how that goes. Meanwhile, Bloodline making their presence known, you can bet we’ll get a Six Man Tag of Solo, Tama & Loa VS Cody, Randy & Kevin, and we probably get Solo VS Cody for MITB.
My Score: 9/10

Cole gets on the megaphone to say let’s tell Ava then. And with that, a match is made! Will Nima & Price drag Hank ‘n’ Tank through the mud? Or will Cole welcome Hank ‘n’ Tank to the winner’s circle?
Sol Ruca, Brinley Reece & Karmen Petrovic exercise in the NXT gym.
Sol spots Brin as she finishes the squats, and then Brin asks them about Ashante THEE Adonis trying to give her a rose. Like, take the hint, man. Sol did notice that, but she also noticed Karmen might be- “Interested,” says Adonis. And Karmen, he couldn’t help but notice they shared a look last week. They were feeling each other. Is that so? Well, Adonis cost her a match, so she was just returning the favor. Well, Adonisly, he was just assuming- Yeah, he was. And you know what happens when you assume. Adonis asks what that is, and Karmen smirks. Brin says hey, she’s not interested, so enough of that.
Adonis says we’ll see. He leaves, Sol tells Karmen that she can’t deny there is something. Right, because they know what Karmen likes and what’s best for her. But they don’t. But you’ll find out.

Winner: Jaida Parker, by pinfall
Tatum is tough, but Jaida is- OH, here comes Lola Vice! Refs and security stay in the way, even as Jaida wants after Lola! And then WENDY GRABS TATUM! Wendy has the Night-Night Clutch, and she drags Tatum, into a crate?! Wendy closes the crate, and is abducting Tatum! What nightmares will Tatum have this close to Halloween?
The No Quarter Catch Crew talks backstage.
And in steps Lexis King. He apologizes for interrupting, but he really just wants to thank them all again for helping with The Gentlemen’s Duel. But see, even though he won clean, Lexis feels there are people still doubting him. He doesn’t get it. Charlie Dempsey says around here, a change in perception takes time and can be a little rough. Lexis gets that, but he also realizes that he and Charlie have a lot in common. Technical prowess, fantastic facial hair, and a couple second generation guys trying to figure stuff out. But Lexis wants to get people to stop seeing him as a loose cannon. He’s a straight shooter now.
And he knows he joked about the Heritage Cup, but here’s no joke: people respect Dempsey. Surely Dempsey’s dad does, too. That is why Lexis needs to win that cup. It can give Lexis the respect he needs. Dempsey knows the feeling of stepping out of a father’s shadow. But does Lexis really think winning this cup really will change things? It’s worth a shot. Dempsey believes in what Lexis is trying to do. Myles, go tell Ava that Lexis will get a match. Myles asks, Huh?” Dempsey tells Lexis that he is getting the match for the cup, but it probably won’t get him what he wants. Lexis says, “We shall see.”
The two shake hands and Wren Sinclair says all Lexis needs now is a cornerman. Lexis thinks on that. He heads out, but who can this Drama King call upon after how he’s treated everyone?
Wendy Choo continues to wheel out her Tatum-in-a-box.
Je’Von Evans & Cedric Alexander see that and stay back. Axiom & Nathan Frazer walk over, and they note that in back to back main events, Je’Von was so close to becoming #1 contender. They tell him it’s fine, he’ll get there. Commiserations to the Young OG, back at the final hurdle again. But hey, Je’Von is young, there’s still time. Je’Von asks if Frazer’s trying to make fun of him or something, but Cedric has Je’Von calm. Frazer says hey, he’ll win the big one. Eventually. Like, it’ll take awhile, but still. Just get used to it, kid, Frazer dealt with all that stuff when he was Je’Von’s age. Axiom asks Frazer what he’s trying to do, but then Je’Von SLAPS Frazer!
Axiom keeps Frazer back, Cedric holds Je’Von. Je’Von says that is what happens! But then Wes Lee is there. He knew it was a matter of time before someone got under Je’Von’s skin. But hey, hate comes for you in all directions. First, it’s your age. Then it’s because you’re too successful. But again, Je’Von’s got time for that. Wes laughs as he walks away, and Cedric keeps Je’Von from getting too heated. What will it take for The Young OG to get some respect?
Stephanie Vaquer & Giulia speak.
La Primera says, “To be the first woman from South America to wrestle all over the world, I had to walk down unknown roads. Getting to places no one has ever reached, I am making history. I built myself up from scratch. And it wasn’t by accident, it wasn’t by luck. You hear the cliche about traveling the world, I have done it. I have conquered Europe, Japan, South America and Mexico. And not only that, I have collected championships all over the world. I have proven I am made of fire, and it doesn’t matter how many heads I have to crush. My goal… getting to WWE.”
The Beautiful Madness says the two of them met in Japan “standing across the ring from each other.” In that ring, there are no friends, there is no alliance. But they became friends after. Coming to NXT, they learned how different it is here, and that there was only one person Giulia could trust. someone who knows how hard it is as she does, with the same goal in mind. They don’t have titles around their waists, but once they finish with Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez this Sunday, that’s the next step. A dream tag match is on the horizon, who will stand tall after the Halloween Havoc?
An attack just went down backstage?!
Adriana Rizzo is down? Chairs and broken wood are everywhere as Luca Crusifino & Channing Lorenzo check on her. Tony D’Angelo storms in and asks what happened! They should for medical, and Rizzo clutches her elbow. Tony says he can watch over Rizzo, Luca has to go handle Oba! Luca & Stacks head out, but who would dare poke the bear with this attack on The D’Angelo Family?
Oba Femi VS Luca Crusifino w/ Channing Lorenzo!
The Ruler is 1-1 with The Don, and wants the NXT North American Championship back. They’re escalating things with Tables, Ladders & Scares this Sunday, but will the Consigliere be crushed before then? Or is there no such thing as a weak link in the D’Angelo Family?
The bell rings and Luca says he’s not afraid. Oba shoves, but then Luca dodges to fire fast hands! Luca whips, Oba reverses but Luca SHOTGUNS him! Luca runs but is put on the apron! Oba runs up, Luca ducks the boot to HOTSHOT that leg! Luca runs in but Oba blocks the whip. Oba whips but Luca goes up, only to get caught going over! Oba hits a SHOULDER BUSTER! Luca writhes, the fans rally for Oba, and Oba wrenches the arm. Oba YANKIS the arm, RAMS the shoulder, and repeat! Oba WRINGS Luca out, then stomps him around. Oba DECKS Luca, then KNEES him in the back! And KNEES him again!
Oba clamps onto Luca, but Luca fights up to JAWBREAKER! But Oba LARIATS in return! The fans rallies as Oba clamps on a COBRA CLUTCH! Luca endures, fights up, but Oba whips, only for Luca to JUMP KNEE! Stacks coaches Luca, and Luca fires hands! Oba clamps onto Luca, but Luca CHOPS, CHOPS and CHOPS! Luca turns Oba, but Oba shoves him away! Luca ducks the lariat to NECKBREAKER after all! The fans fire up as Luca rises, but Oba is right up! CHOKE- CODE BREAKER! Luca counters the power, and hurries to slingshot. Oba steps back to CHOP Luca down! Oba then storms in, to SHOTPUT Luca!!
Luca flounders, the fans fire up, and Oba reels Luca in, FALL FROM GRACE!! Cover, Oba wins!
Winner: Oba Femi, by pinfall
Luca put up a fight, but it wasn’t enough to topple the mountain! Stacks checks on Luca, but Oba TOSSES him! Oba rains down fists on Luca, then drags him up to POST him! Stacks returns to fire hands! But Oba SHOVES him out hard! Oba promised Tony would not have his family to support him in Hershey, and now he brings out things from under the ring! A toolbox, and then a TABLE! The fans fire up as Oba sets that table against the barriers, then picks up the toolbox. But Tony attacks! The fans rally, but Oba ROCKS Tony, and RAMS him into steel steps! The Don clutches his arm but Oba brings out zip ties!
Oba rains down fists on Tony, then ties Tony to the corner! Tony is stuck, and he can’t do a thing as Oba CLUBS him! Oba goes back for Stacks, and he makes sure Tony watches as Oba SHOTPUTS Stacks through the table!! Then Oba shoves Luca down, and he clears the desk! The fans go nuts as Oba brings out a LADDER! Oba is giving us a preview of Sunday as he makes a ladder bridge! Oba brings Luca up, and the scare is this POWERBOMB through the ladder!! The fans lose their minds as Tony’s family has suffered Oba’s wrath! Will The Don truly be all alone as he and The Ruler fight for the title one last time?
NXT prepares for a change.
Delta is on her way, ready for Halloween Havoc. But just as “Delta” means change, she transforms and has become… ZARIA.
Andre Chase speaks.
“Andre Chase University has all the little things in life. It’s all about empowerment, potential, giving opportunity to people when nobody else would, opening doors for them when others would slam them in their face. It’s a place where you can truly make a change for the better, if you want. But that wasn’t the case for you, was it, Ridge Holland?” Ridge came back to NXT looking for redemption, and together, one day at a time, Chase U was going to help him prove he was unrightfully labeled. For the first time, he felt what it was to belong. They won tag titles together, that redemption was there in his hands!
But that is when Chase realized, “The measure of a man doesn’t come in victory, it comes in defeat.” Chase realized there is no saving Ridge, that everyone was right all along. Chase can’t make Ridge feel the pain he caused Riley and Duke, and certainly not the heartbreak Thea felt. But Chase will make Ridge feel what he felt when he was put in an ambulance. So this Sunday, Halloween Havoc, Chase puts an end to Ridge’s misery IN AN AMBULANCE MATCH! Things are getting dangerous, but will this become a #TeachableMoment for everyone?
Ethan Page heads to the ring.
All Ego is here, the red in his ensemble very fitting given he is about to step onto The Devil’s Playground this Sunday. And speaking of, here comes Trick Williams! Tricky Two-Time Two-Time NXT Champion Williams is wearing the gold, as well as all white. Trick has the mic to say he appreciates everyone, and wants to get to the point. With what Ethan did to Trick last week, Trick should’ve come out here and dropped Ethan like a MakeSafe. But Trick promised Ava he wouldn’t do that, and that he’d wait until Sunday. But what Trick knows from last week is Ethan is scared. Ethan isn’t All Ego, he’s All Desperate!
Ethan has a mic to say, “Maybe. Maybe I am desperate. Or maybe that’s just what I wanted you to think.” Ethan says he knows when Trick looks at him, he thinks “There he is! A man that is always pointing at his smile and boasting about how great he is.” You might even know Ethan as a father, husband and a wrestler who has been in this game for over 17 YEARS. The fans do applaud that. But when Ethan talks about his 17 years, he often glosses over everything he had to go through to get here.
But he’ll tell us a little something. Ethan and Trick have had very different paths. Ethan never had a Performance Center with state of the art equipment. Staff on site 24/7, catering to everyone. Ethan never had the greatest minds in pro-wrestling coaching and guiding him, preparing him for a top position in the top company. Ethan had to go through Hell to get where Trick is today. Trick gets that, Ethan had to work hard, but Trick did, too. Trick won’t be shamed for being blessed. Oh, so he “gets it?” That line alone says Trick does NOT get it!
Ethan will ask Trick a question: Has Trick ever been busted open? Blood and sweat blurring his vision? And then, still get up and keep going? Has he ever been hit so hard that it tears flesh and you feel it all? And again, you have to get up and keep going! Better yet, has Trick ever tasted his own blood, and gotten that copper and salt taste that makes everyone else uneasy and queasy? But then have it happen so many times, that eventually, you start to like the taste!? Trick says he gets it, Ethan’s been through a lot to get here. And good to know Ethan is used to it, because Trick will bust him open this Sunday.
Ethan smiles with Trick, and says, “There he is! Yeah!” The fans chant ‘WHOOP DAT TRICK!” and Ethan says that’s the silver-tongued, smooth-talking, dressed-to-the-nines TWO-TIME NXT Champion, Trick Williams! All flash, and fake confidence. Speaking of flash, that’s why Ethan hit Trick with the light last week. It was to give Trick an idea of The Devil’s Playground. It is anything goes, and Ethan means anything. That only benefits one man, and that’s All Ego. Wait, why does Ethan think that? Oh c’mon, look at yourself, Trick! Trick looks great! All oiled up, abs out, bling, fur, not a single hair outta place. Trick is immaculate!
Hell, Trick even has every skill he needs to defend that title. The only thing is, Trick doesn’t have what Ethan has in him, and that is a devil inside of him! Trick just isn’t tough. And he isn’t built for this match. Is Ethan stupid or something? He may not have been here that long, but saying Trick isn’t tough is crazy. Did Ethan not see Trick go to war with Melo? With Ilja Dragunov FOUR TIMES? Everything with Pete Dunne? Oh, and Trick actually thinks those men are as savage as Ethan? You really think Melo thought of every single way he could inflict pain on Trick? Every option he had at hand?
Does Trick actually believe that those men thought of ways to make him regret of ever even trying to become a pro-wrestler? Sunday, Trick sees a version of Ethan that not only these people have not seen, but a version that we’ve ever seen in his entire career. Trick says All Ego is All Talk. He’s been talking since he got here. Ethan’s done everything BUT beat Trick. Ethan could never beat Trick. Ethan didn’t even pin Trick for the title. So like Trick said from the jump, Ethan is desperate to stay close to the title, but it won’t happen. Ethan asks if this looks like the face of a desperate man. Because yeah, he’s 1000% percent right!
It took 17 YEARS for Ethan to become a champion in the WWE! And after he got a taste, he became addicted. And Ethan promises he will satiate that addiction when he gets back what’s his! They are about to play on the Devil’s Playground! And for the first time in Trick’s career, he’ll actually go through hell as they play by the Devil’s Rules. AKA, Ethan’s rules! Trick says he looks forward to it. Trick has the last word, but will he have the last say on how this era of NXT goes?
Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez talk.
They can’t believe the big game Giulia & Stephanie Vaquer are talking. It is one thing to be a big deal everywhere else, and it is another to be a big deal in NXT like Cora & Roxie. The two hottest free agent signings of 2024 have zero chance against the pillars of this division. But if they actually liked them- Jacy Jayne interrupts by saying they don’t. No one likes Giulia & Vaquer. Fallon Henley says that’s because they don’t deserve to be here, like Kelani Jordan doesn’t deserve to be NXT Women’s North American Champion. That’s why The Fatal Influence will handle Kelani on Sunday, while Roxie & Cora handle Giulia & Vaquer. Or what’s left of them.
Roxie says yes, girls like Giulia & Vaquer come and go, but these five have been the backbone of NXT. Kelani steps in and says she actually agrees with them. They really have been holding up this division for the past three years. But now they’re nervous because they can feel it slipping through their little fingers. But ladies, which one is it facing her on Sunday? Out with it. Fallon says that’s cute. One day Kelani will learn is that when you have control, you don’t just give it up. She’ll find out on Sunday. As for tonight, the wheel determines what match they have. The Fatal Influence heads out, what will the future have in store for them all?
Sol Ruca VS Karmen Petrovic!
Just a bit of teasing from the Sol Surfer seemed to touch a nerve with the Blackbelt Beauty. Will Sol get Karmen to be honest with herself? Or will Karmen have everyone watching what they say around her?
NXT returns as Karmen makes her entrance, and we all see that Adonis is in the crowd talking up a different blonde. The bell rings and the two tie up. Karmen powers Sol back but Sol slips away. Sol says just focus, and they tie up again. Karmen headlocks, but sol fights the takeover. the fans rally, Sol powers up but Karmen uses the corner to tornado takeover! Karmen grinds the hold, Sol rolls to a cover, ONE! Karmen thrashes the headlock, btu Sol headscissors. The fans rally, Karmen moves around, and Karmen rolls Sol over. Karmen floats to the headlock, but Sol powers up and out. Karmen goes to sweep but Sol handsprings over!
The fans rally, Sol headlocks now, and Karmen fires body shots. Sol holds on, the fans sing, but Karmen fires more body shots. Karmen whips Sol to a corner, runs up, and MONKEY FLIPS, but Sol handsprings through! The fans fire up, and Sol sweeps the legs! Sol stands on Karmen, and uses her to hang ten! Sol steps off, and SUPERKICKS Karmen down! Cover, TWO! Karmen stays in this but Sol whips her to the corner. Karmen SOBATS, then glares at Adonis. Karmen hits a DISCUS LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Karmen clamps onto Sol and rains down fists! Sol kicks free and hurries away, but Karmen runs in to SLIDING KICK!
Karmen drags Sol up, bumps her off buckles, and KICKS away! The ref counts, Kamren shoves Sol down, and takes aim. Karmen runs up, wrenches, and JUMP KICKS Sol down! Cover, TWO! Sol toughs it out but Karmen frowns. Karmen drags Sol up, but Sol hits a CODE BREAKER! Karmen falls back and the fans fire up! Adonis doesn’t even care, he’s just talking to his lady friend. Karmen swings, Sol counter punches! Sol JABS and DECKS Karmen, then runs to springboard BODY BLOCK! And then CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Sol stays on Karmen, brings her up to whip her. Karmen dodges Sol but sol goes to the apron.
Sol ROUNDHOUSES Karmen, goes up, but Karmen KICKS her! ICONOCLASM! Karmen aims, winds up, and glares at Adonis as he heads out with his lady friend. That distracts Karmen, and SOL SNATCHER!! Cover, Sol wins!
Winner: Sol Ruca, by pinfall
All’s fair in love and war, but Karmen is letting those two get all mixed up! Will she be able to get her head and her heart sorted out so she can get some wins? Will Sol be riding a wave of momentum to a title in the meantime?
Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe talk with Nikkita Lyons.
The #TYGERS are happy to see Lyons back. She’s killing it! She thanks them and she is on the prowl. Best believe that after what she’s been through, she’ll always pounce first. But what’ve they been up to? Well, they’re just waiting for their chance. When that moment comes, they’ll be ready. Okay, but hold on, you don’t know when that moment comes. You gotta be aggressive. Don’t wait for tomorrow, you gotta do it today. Take it from someone who got blindsided, you have to take. Oba Femi picks up Lyons’ coat and says she dropped this. He hands it to her and she thanks him. Oba says no, thank you.
Wait, what? What did Oba mean by that? Is there something going on between The Ruler and The Lyoness?
OTM VS Hank ‘n’ Tank w/ Cole Custer!
A dispute over parking spaces sounds like something you’d get in a corporate job, but it seems pro-wrestling isn’t different from any other job. But then who gets the job done with a big win here tonight?
Hank ‘n’ Tank make their entrance, only for Nima & Price to rush out and meet them on the ramp! The fans fire up for the brawl, and Tank ROCKS Price! Hank BOOTS Nima, then puts him on the apron. Tankr uns in to BODY BLCOK Nima off the apron! Cole fires up with the boys, and then Hank KNEES Price. Hank puts Price in, the bell rings, and the hands continue to fly! Hank KNEES Price again, tags Tank, and “HONK! HONK!” BIG BELLY SANDWICH! Cover, TWO! Price survives and the fans rally up. Tank whips, Price reveres but Tank dodges. Tank runs up but Price BOOTS him down!
Price tags Nima and Nima whips Tank into the corner. Nima fires hands on Tank, the ref counts, and Nima lets off to run side to side. BOOT WASH! Tag to Price, and OTM whip Tank to then URENAGE! Price fires up, stalks Tank, then runs up to LARIAT in the corner! Price pushes Tank down, then clamps on a chinlock! The fans rally, Tank fights up, and Tank fires body shots. Tank reaches out but Price keeps him from Hank! Price back suplexes, but Tank lands out! Tank dodges, hot tag to Hank! Nima tags in, but Hank fires BOOTS and HANDS on OTM! Hank SPLASHES Nima in a corner, whips and SPLASHES again!

The fans fire up and Hank catches Nima to the BOSS MAN SLAM! Cover, Price breaks it in time! The fans boo but we see Jaida eyeing Tank. Jaida runs up, but Lola runs in!

Cole Custer may be a NASCAR champion, but he just helped his guys win a demolition derby! Will Hank ‘n’ Tank HONK HONK on the way to the tag titles? Wait, Lola joins in and gets everyone to shimmy and shake. The fans cheer as Hank, Tank and even Cole dance with the Mayor of Vice City. Will Lola make sure Miss Parker learns a thing about respect?
Fraxiom talk with Ava Raine.
Frazer is heated, “Je’Von has done NOTHING in NXT and he wants to slap me in the face!?” Frazer wants a match! Je’Von, Cedric, both of them, even with the titles! Ava says maybe run that by your partner first. Frazer says Axiom’s fine with it! Axiom isn’t fine with it, though! But are they the best tag team or not? They are. Then they’ll see Je’Von & Cedric next week. Fraxiom heads out, and in steps Lexis King. He knows Ava is busy with whatever that was just about, but he needs some help. He needs a cornerman for the Heritage Cup match, and everyone he has asked has said no. It’s like they don’t trust him or something.
Hmm, no one trusts the king? Yeah, can’t she just point to someone for him to ask? No, Lexis, that’s not how this works. No one can be forced to be his cornerman. Lexis sighs. No one trusts him because they all think he’s like his dad, but everyone loves Ava because everyone loves her dad. He’ll stop wasting her time. Lexis heads out, will he just have to go it alone against the No Quarter Catch Crew?
Ridge Holland speaks.
Well, first he laughs menacingly, and then asks, “Mr. Chase, why all the anger? All the hostility for one of your former, let’s just say, ‘students.’ After all, I wore the Chase U colors proudly. But Chase, how’s it feel as a teacher to always have control? To now having none. Watching your creation be torn apart piece by piece. The cathedral that is Chase U be torn down brick by brick, member by member, until the only one standing in front of me… is you. Are you sure that you want an Ambulance Match at Halloween Havoc? Because now I can freely be the man that everyone slated me to be: The most dangerous man in all of NXT!
“This Sunday, Chase U gets destroyed for good! And you? You’ll be taking your last ride!” Ridge closes ambulance doors, will he do that for real in Hershey, Pennsylvania?
Backstage interview with Tony D’Angelo.
Sarah Schreiber asks The Don how he feels after finding Adrianna Rizzo down and out, then he has to watch the destruction of Luca & Stacks at the hands of Oba Femi. Tony says he doesn’t know what’s going on. Someone took out Rizzo, then Oba ties Tony to the ring while he beats the snot out of Luca & Stacks. Halloween Havoc won’t be about who climbs up the ladder faster to grab the belt. Oba has made it more than that! Tony took what Oba loved, Oba returned the favor. Sunday, it will be more than just a championship match. Tony will use every table, ladder and chair he can to beat Oba’s ass!!
Tony tells Oba that he wanted Tony all alone, but careful what you wish for, because Sunday, he gets it. The Don is furious, will Oba regret pushing him this far?
Stephanie Vaquer & Giulia head for gorilla.
But on the way, some old friends from Stardom walk by to say hi. Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane smile, Vaquer & Giulia smile back. Will we see that dream match for WWE in the future? Or will the Women’s Tag Division soon be under the Influence?

Bronson Reed arrives.
The Colossal Aussie is in Philadelphia, but there’s no brotherly love as SETH FREAKIN’ ROLLINS ATTACKS! The Visionary came outta nowhere, and now uses Bronson’s own luggage to beat him down! Security drags Rollins away but Rollins says he’s just getting started! Rollins dares Bronson to join him in the ring, and that’s where Rollins is going! He throws off his blue sequin jacket at someone in gorilla, then storms right to the ring! The fans fire up and sing Rollins’ song, but Rollins grabs a mic to say cut the music! “Philly, let’s get crazy, right here, right now! Bronson Reed! You wanna be famous, big boy? I’ll make your ass famous! Get out here, and let’s FIGHT!”
The fans are fired up, but Pearce says no no no! But then Bronson TOSSES security out of his way! Bronson heads for the ring, but it takes half a dozen men to drag him down! So Rollins then DIVES and bowls them all over! The fans are thunderous but then Bronson RAMS Rollins into the apron! Bronson puts Rollins int he ring, then RAMS him into a corner! More security rushes in but fans boo! Rollins and Bronson are separated, but not for long as they both get free! Rollins BOOTS Bronson, gets moving, but he runs into a DEATTH VALLEY DRIVER! Bronson hurries up top, but Rollins hurries out! So Bronson just FLYING SHOULDER TACKLES!
The fans are going nuts as Bronson clears the desk! Bronson drags Rollins up and HEADBUTTS him onto the desk! The security tries to stop Bronson but Bronson is climbing the barriers! He SHOVES guards off him, one guy becomes a backpack! So Bronson TOSSES that guy onto the rest! And then with Rollins on the desk, TSUNAMI! But only Bronson hits the desk! Rollins avoids disaster and the fans go nuts! Rollins is also going nuts, he wants after Bronson again! Security and even producers herd Rollins away, and Bronson rises up! Bronson goes out into the crowd but he warns Rollins this isn’t over!
The fans sing Rollins’ song again, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” but when and where will The Visionary see Bronson again?
Backstage interview with Damage CTRL.
Jackie Redmond is with Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane and says that tomorrow night on NXT, they have a match with Meta Four’s Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson. They arguably coast DMG CTRL the tag titles, so is there anything DMG CTRL wants to say first? Iyo says that Lash & Jakara are just in the way. DMG CTRL are not done with Jade & Bianca. Soon, they will be WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions again! But then Liv Morgan steps in and says sorry not sorry, she needs to talk about what Nia Jax did to her last week. Jackie, you can go. Thanks, bye. Jackie steps out and Liv talks to camera.
“Nia, if you’re watching this, which I know you are, I know you only came to MY show last week because you’re just jealous of me. You’re jealous of me because I have it all. I have the Women’s World Championship, I have Dirty Dom, I have The Judgment Day, I have Raquel Rodriguez, and after I beat you at Crown Jewel, I’m gonna have the Crown Jewel Championship, too.” Kairi speaks up, “Choto, choto, choto. <Hey, hey, hey.>” Liv says she’s not done, but Kairi says she interrupted THEIR interview. Liv doesn’t care. Kairi tells them to go away, Iyo echoes it, and Liv says oh, they’re mad because they’re talking about the tag team titles.
But see, Liv & Raquel were champions before Rhea cost them. That means they could be tag team champions again any time they want. Iyo says Liv is not skipping the line! DMG CTRL could fight later, or they could fight TONIGHT! Raquel stares Iyo & Kairi down, and Liv says if they wanna fight, then let’s fight. Raquel, Liv, and Liv’s platform shoes leave, will they truly be standing tall after taking down The Evil Genius & The Pirate Princess?
WWE World Tag Team Championship#1 Contenders Tournament Opening Round: The New Day VS Authors of Pain w/ The Final Testament!
Speaking of tag team supremacy, Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods want to return to that, even if that means fighting through the biggest and the baddest. And well, that’s where they’re starting! Will New Day be the ones writing this story? Or will Akam & Rezar make this the Final Chapter?

Producers rush over to help separate these two, but what IS Pearce going to do if this madness is to stop?
Backstage interview with Jey Uso.
Cathy Kelley is with the Intercontinental Champion and says the tensions have escalated. Ahead of his match with Bron Breakker, could he address the issues going on with The Bloodline on SmackDown? Jey says yeah, it’s a bit ironic. We’re in the City of Brotherly Love but he has no love for his brothers right now. But he said what he said on Friday. It is what it is. But tonight is about this belt on his shoulder. Jey Uso VS Bron Breakker, Round 2. But Jey promises that tonight, the people will here #AndStill Intercontinental Champion, Main Event Jey Uso~! YEET.
Raquel Rodriguez speaks.
Big Mami Cool says Rhea’s business won’t end until she gets the world title back. Mamita, as long as Raquel is here, that will NEVER happen! Bad Blood was a warning, chiquita. Don’t think Raquel forgot what Rhea did to Liv, taking her out with a torn shoulder for six MONTHS. And Raquel hasn’t forgotten what Rhea did to them both when she cost them the tag titles! Reha, the only reason you rose up was because Raquel was gone. But she’s back now, and the smartest thing to do would be walk away. But we all know Rhea won’t. So since Rhea won’t end this, Raquel will. Ricky Desperado has put Rhea on notice, will Rhea heed the warning?
Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez VS Damage CTRL!
Speaking of warnings, Liv & Raquel have sent theirs to Nia and Rhea, and Iyo & Kairi sent one to Lash & Jakara. Who backs up all that talk with a big win here tonight?
Raw returns and we see Meta Four is watching from the front row, again. Will they affect things like last time? Then Liv & Raquel make their entrance, but uh, where is Dominik Mysterio?

Liv is dizzy, Rhea hauls her up! Pump handle and RIP- NO, NOW Dom is here! Dom saves Liv, she did need him after all! But Rhea TOSSES Dom in!! The fans fire up as Rhea puts Dom in the PRISM TRAP!! Dom flails, Liv AND Raquel have to drag him out to save him! The fans boo, but Rhea warns them all that it’s only a matter of time. Liv may have the Crown Jewel Championship on her mind, but will she have to watch her back from now until the end of time?
Seth Rollins finds Pearce.
They argue about how things have gone down tonight, but BRONSONÂ POUNCES ROLLINS!! Rollins is sent onto tables and Bronson hammers away! Yet again, these two are separated and Pearce shouts, “ENOUGH! ENOUGH!! Did either one of you selfish bastards stop to think for one second that I was gonna give you what you want? No, of course not! But you are! At Crown Jewel! Bronson Reed, Seth Rollins, a definitive victor! Now get them outta my building!” Rollins laughs as he and Bronson are hauled away, but Bronson says this is the worst mistake Rollins has ever made! Will there be nothing but blood and sand after this showdown?
The War Raiders speak.
“As we walked this path, there’s been setbacks that would’ve ended lesser men.” “But we rise time and again.” “But we’ve shed our armor, and headed to our future without fear.” “We look to our ancestors, the Viking warriors of the past, for inspiration.” “They crossed oceans, conquering everything in their path.” “We, too, have traveled the word, raiding gold far and wide.” “Your time to run and hide… has ended.” Erik & Ivar have made their impact, advancing in the World Tag Team Championship Contenders tournament. Will they completely take over before it is all said and done?
The Judgment Day regroups.
Finn Balor, JD McDonagh & Carlito are in the clubhouse as Dom, Liv & Raquel return. The Irish Ace asks what they think of the new spot, and Raquel says, “You wanna know what I think? What I think is what I need to do is to find Rhea Ripley. And when I do, I am gonna RIP her head off!” Liv calms Raquel down and says they’ll deal with Rhea when the time is right. For now, Liv needs to focus on Nia at Crown Jewel, and the boys need to focus on their tag titles. Right, Finn? Finn says everyone knows he and JD can handle any team on Earth. What he is worried about is Damian Priest making another claim at the World Heavyweight Championship.
Liv thought they were done with Priest. Dom says, “What if I’m the one who beats Gunther for the world title?” The others laugh, except for Liv. Liv says that’s not cool, Daddy Dom could totally beat Gunther. JD has Finn calm down about others wanting the world title, and then Raquel asks Carlito what he even does around here. Uh… Well, let’s just say he brings the cool factor. And he’s the fixer. In fact, he’ll fix this right now. Dom is going to be a champion in no time! Carlito heads out to talk to Pearce. Finn backstabbed Priest over the world title, will he be compelled to do it again to Dom?
WWE World Tag Team Championship#1 Contenders Tournament Opening Round: Rey Mysterio & Dragon Lee w/ Zelina Vega VS The Creed Brothers w/ American Made!

Master Gable is upset but he’s the one who angered La Muneca! The Latino World Order is joining The New Day and The War Raiders next week, who wins the Triple Threat tournament finals to then go after Judgment Day?
DMG CTRL talks with Pearce.
They’re obviously upset and he knows, he saw what Meta Four did. He will talk with Ava Raine about this, they will figure out a solution, he gives them his word. DMG CTRL accept that and head out, still riled up. But in steps Carlito. Carlito says he has to learn Chinese. Sigh… What does Carlito want? He heard from a little birdie that Pearce needs challengers for Gunther. Carlito has just the guy: Dominik Mysterio. Pearce laughs really hard at that. Oh, wait, Carlito’s serious? DOM?! No, Dom hasn’t done, well, anything to deserve a shot. And if Dom wants the shot, why is Carlito asking for it? Because he’s the fixer.
And what is he fixing? Aw c’mon, Pearce! Give Dom a chance! Please? Fine! Dom gets his chance. Let Dom know that next week, if he can beat a former world champion, then Dom will be a contender. Carlito thanks Pearce, they shake hands, and Carlito heads out. Pearce needs a drink. But just who will Pearce set Dom up against to prove he’s worthy of Der Ring General’s time?
Backstage interview with Bron Breakker.
Jackie is now with the Badass and says in moments, he faces Jey Uso for the Intercontinental Championship. Is he feeling any more confident knowing that Jey is a bit preoccupied with his family? Bron says he didn’t come here for a Philly cheesesteak. He is here to take back what is his and that is the Intercontinental Championship. Bron does respect Jey Uso. Jey as a champion si great. But Jey is not a focused champion. Jey has all kinds of family drama going on, which is exactly why Bron takes back that title. Now, Bron IS a Badass, so it is time to do what badasses to do. He has one question for us: We got any dogs barking in Philly?!
The fans can be heard barking, and Bron makes his entrance. Will Breakker back up all that talk by breaking Jey? Or is Jey going to YEET Bron to the back of the line?
Backstage interview with Gunther.
Cathy is with Der Ring General, the World Heavyweight Champion, and says he has his eyes set on becoming the first-ever Crown Jewel Champion. Cathy asks Gunther if he has a response to Cody Rhodes’ invitation to SmackDown for Friday. Gunther says he doesn’t understand, even though Cody does it every time, is that Cody drags those closest to him into his business matters. Mentioning his daughter as his reason why was totally uncalled for. Cody just loves the drama. It has nothing to do with family, and everything to do with a match between generational champions for the newly established Crown Jewel Championship.
The winner gets to establish the legacy of that title. And no disrespect, Cody is a fantastic champion on top of his game. But to be honest, the title he is holding was established long before his time. Gunther thinks Cody is just one of many. Unlike Gunther. Gunther is one of one. Everything he touches turns to gold. So yes, he will be in Brooklyn on Friday. But then in steps Priest! Priest says relax, no one is walking in here to smack Gunther up. Yet. Priest has no issue with Gunther anymore, all his issues were with Judgment Day. Priest handled that. So it is only fair that now, he gets back what he never should’ve lost in the first palce.
And before Gunther says anything, Priest isn’t looking for a handout. He’ll earn that shot like he has everything else. So Gunther can go to Crown Jewel, handle business, and when he comes back, he’ll have a problem with Priest. In fact, he’ll have a big problem because Priest is going to again become El Campeon. Gunther says okay, “El Campeon,” good for you. Gunther heads out, but will we see him and The Punisher run it back?
WWE Intercontinental Championship: Jey Uso VS Bron Breakker!
Raw returns and Jey makes his entrance. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly badass!
The bell rings, the fans fire up, and the two stare down. Then the haymakers start flying! The fans “YEET!” for Jey and “BOO!” for Bron! “YEET! BOO! YEET! BOO!” Jey ROCKS Bron, whips him, but Bron reverses. Jey goes up and over, then UPPERCUTS! “YEET! Bron staggers around, Jey runs up to LARIAT him up and out! The fans fire up as Jey watches Bron. Bron snarls and grits his teeth, but Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and the fans rally while Bron CHOKES Jey on ropes! The ref counts, Bron mocks the yeet bounce, but Bron lets off at 4. Jey sputters and rolls to the apron, but Bron storms out there after him. Bron drags Jey up, reels him in, and he suplexes, only for Jey to block! The fans fire up as Jey lifts, but Bron fights it!

Bron hops down, drags Jey up, and SMACKS him off the apron! Bron pushes Jey in the ring, drags him up again, and whips him to the corner hard! Jey bounces off buckles and falls to the mat. Bron soaks up more heat, then goes back for Jey. Bron stands Jey up but Jey ROCKS him with a right! And another! And another! Bron wobbles, Jey ROCKS him more! Jey whips, Bron reverses but Jey leaps! Only for Bron to catch him! BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Bron does pushups just to show off. The fans boo but Bron looms over Jey. Bron then drags Jey up, DECKS him with a right hand, then STANDING MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO!
Jey stays in this but Bron smirks. The fans rally and Jey grits his teeth, but Bron stalks him. Bron tells Jey to just give up already. Bron stomps Jey, taunts the fans, “I’m a badass!” Bron drags Jey up again, but Jey blocks to fire hands! “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jey pops, locks ‘n’ puts some stank on the HAYMAKER! “YEET! Jey throws off the armbands and the wrist tape, and he gets an “UCE! OH!” Jey runs in, Bron puts him on the apron, but Jey GAMANGIRIS! Bron staggers, Jey climbs, but Bron goes after Jey! Jey fires hands, Bron hits back! Bron climbs up, brings Jey to the top, but Jey fights! Jey HEADBUTTS, and HEADBUTTS, and Bron staggers back!
But Bron springs right back up! SUPER STEINER! Cover, TWO! Bron is frustrated but the fans rally up as Raw goes to break.
Raw returns once again and Bron RAMS Jey into a corner! Bron puts Jey up top again, then climbs, but Jey again fights! Jey SHOVES Bron away, slips down, and runs up to SPEAR! Cover, TWO!! Bron survives and Jey grows frustrated. The fans rally up, Jey catches his breath and rises up, but wait! The fans notice someone heading to ringside, and it’s THE BLOODLINE! Solo Sikoa mockingly holds up a Yeet shirt! He shows he has tickets, he’s here as a fan, Uce! Jey is upset with his brother, and the fans chan tfor “O T C! O T C!” Jey asks why Solo is here and Solo says he’s here to help him win.
Solo says look out! Bron runs up but Jey ROCKS him first! They get in the ring, Bron KNEES Jey down! Bron drags Jey up to TOSS him back out. Bron goes out after Jey to then whip, but Jey reverses! Bron hits POST! The fans fire up and wait! Tonga Loa & Tama Tonga are on the other end? They cheer Jey on and pat his shoulders, but Jey pushes them back. Jey SUPERKICKS Loa! Jey DUMPS Loa down, but has to dodge Tama! Jey SUPERKICKS Tama! The fans boo The Bloodline but Solo says his guys were trying to help! Solo jumps the barriers, he and Jey argue, and Jey is not falling for the gaslighting.
Bron lurks! Bron runs up, Solo pushes Jey aside! The SPEAR hits Solo!! The Tribal Chief actually helps Jey! But then Bron comes back to KNEE Jey! Bron pushes Jey into the ring, but here comes Jacob Fatu! The Samoan Werewolf is upset that Bron hit his Tribal Chief! Bron sees Jacob, and the straps come down! The fans are going nuts as these two animals stare down! But then Jey DIVES onto them both! Jey wipes out Bron AND Jacob, and the fans are thunderous! Jey drags Bron up, puts him in the ring, “This is Awesome!” as Jey hurries up a corner. USO SPLASHÂ but onto knees! Bron sets up in a corner now!
Bron runs, runs, and JEY HURDLES! SUPERKICK! Bron wobbles into another SUPERKICK! Jey runs to SPEAR!! Jey hurries up top again, USO SPLASH!!! Cover, TWO?!?! Bron survives and Jey cannot believe it!

Jey isn’t sure what to make of this, but he sees Bron stirring. Jey decides to borrow one of Bron’s plays, and he runs in, but JACOB SUPERKICKS JEY!! The Samoan Werewolf fireman’s carries, to SAMOAN DROP Jey on the desk!!
The ref misses this from having to help with Tama & Loa! Jacob gets Solo outta there while Bron grins. Bron drags Jey off the desk, puts him in the ring, and Bron roars! Bron runs, runs, and SPEARS!! Cover, BRON WINS!
Winner: Bron Breakker, by pinfall (NEW WWE Intercontinental Champion)
The Badass had a point about Jey’s family drama getting in Jey’s way. Jey just wanted his family’s feud to end peacefully, and Solo has to go and ruin things for him. The belt is back on Bron, will he make sure to never let it go again? As for Jey, will he have no choice but to fight his own brother?
My Thoughts:
An awesome episode of Raw here tonight, and I love that there was chaos right from the start. They framed Bronson’s arrival to the arena so well, you really could see Rollins run in from somewhere to then run right up on Bronson. Great stuff from them both and of course they’re getting their match now, but I’m a little surprised it is for Crown Jewel. At the same time, not much has even been made for Crown Jewel in terms of the card, so this match happening over in Saudi Arabia is great stuff. Rollins is a big name, and Bronson is surely a rising star, this is great stuff for them both. No idea who wins, but the winner will surely be in the world title conversation.
Great overlapping of stories in the women’s division, with Liv & Raquel stepping on toes with DMG CTRL, even as they’re all building other feuds. The tag match was great, but I just knew that with Meta Four on site, they were going to “ruin” the match. As I’ve said before, I hope this builds to a big tag title match for Survivor Series, Meta Four representing NXT, DMG CTRL representing Raw and possibly Piper & Chelsea for SmackDown. As for Liv & Raquel, great stuff with Rhea sending them all running to keep that story alive. Maybe they add Rhea VS Raquel to Crown Jewel, that’d be great stuff that also keeps the story moving.
With that, they also had a great segue into the rest of the Judgment Day story. I like that Dom thinking he can beat Gunther makes the others laugh. After what Pearce said, Dom’s definitely facing Priest, who is a former world champion. Priest also had a good promo with Gunther, and that has to be what’s next going into Survivor Series. Finn being surly about someone else getting the shot while he’s still just a tag champ is also good stuff, I can’t wait to see what he does with that.
Speaking of the tag titles, great stuff in each of the tournament matches tonight. Both results were surprising to me, but definitely the right moves all things considered. Truth going after Miz and helping New Day was good stuff, and yet I should’ve figured Woods would be selfish and leave Truth hanging. But the Wyatt Sick6 showing up was great stuff, because it was clear they were going to feud with Miz and Final Testament. Great match from LWO VS American Made, and Zelina interacting with Ivy was good stuff, too. Zelina VS Ivy would be a great match, can’t wait to see that. LWO advancing is great, but it still feels like The War Raiders are going to challenge Finn & JD.
And great stuff in the Intercontinental Championship story that also ended up being The Bloodline story. I should’ve figured Solo and crew would cost Jey, but the detail of Solo claiming he’s helping and then actually trying to be helpful was good stuff. It backfired on Solo, and so his help turned into hinderance, Jey loses so now he has nothing but that feud. As for Bron getting this belt back, he’s got any number of possibilities for challengers, maybe it could be Sheamus. Remember that Sheamus hasn’t ever held the Intercontinental Championship, and he could definitely give Bron banger after banger.
My Score: 9/10
