NXT Championship #1 Contender’s 25 Man Battle Royal!
A match this stacked was not going to wait very long! Je’Von Evans, Apollo Crews, Tyler Bate, Pete Dunne, Dragon Lee, Legado Del Fantasma’s Angel & Humberto, and pretty much all the stars of NXT are all in this ring, but they’re not the only ones. Say his name and he appears, it’s TNA’S JOE HENDRY!! Hendry has a mic to say “Say his name and he appears, Joe Hendry is here, in NXT!” The fans are going nuts, and Hendry says Cody Rhodes said this was a 25 man match. But let’s be honest, this is 24 men and one sensation! Hendry is gonna walk down to the ring, eliminate every single one of ’em, and go on to become NXT Champion and bring that title to TNA!
And when the title changes hands, the entire WWE Universe will be chanting, “WE BELIEVE!” And what they believe in is 250 pounds of pure motivation, the answer to all of life’s problems, they believe in JOE HENDRY! But wait, he isn’t the last one in this, as here comes All Ego, Ethan Page! Ethan and Hendry get face to face, as there was a time when All Ego was making an impact in TNA. The bell rings, and Oro Mensah jumps in to go after Ethan! They tumble out of the ring but under the bottom rope, so technically Ethan is still in this match! Except the brawl takes this to the back! And then Hendry finds himself going 23v1!
Wait, is that Frankie Kazarian, also of TNA, in there going after Hendry? Well alright. The fans freak out as Kaz DUMPS and ELIMINATES Hendry!! Kaz will probably have to deal with the consequences this week on TNA’s show. Tony D’Angelo goes after ol’ rival, Joe Coffey, Dempsey brawls with Tyler Bate, but then Lexis King CHOPS Tony!

Malik ROCKS Dempsey, slingshots and RANAS, but Dempsey uses ropes to stop that!

Winner: Je’Von Evans (NEW #1 Contender to the NXT Championship)
Even in this stacked field of veteran stars, it was the youngest of them all that bounces them all out! And now he’ll be facing his role model, Trick Williams! Is this match-up going to burn down the house in Toronto?
The Women’s Division talks backstage.
Kelani Jordan is an inspiration to them, Carlee Bright hopes she wins tonight. And then challenging her for the Women’s North American Championship would be a dream come true! Fallon Henley walks in and hopes Carlee isn’t serious. She’s had literally one match here. If anyone deserves a shot, it’s Fallon. But didn’t she have her part in the ladder match? Because Fallon didn’t come first there. Wren Sinclair points out that’s true. Fallon tells Wren to sit down. Anyway, she is the only one in this locker room that deserves a shot. Oh, really? Brinley Reece is doing pretty well, and Karmen Petrovic got a pin on Shayna Baszler, so…
Fallon is sick and tired of all the new girls thinking they deserve stuff! Sol Ruca avoids the drama by getting out of there. But clearly things are heating up, who will rise above to be next in line to the newest title in NXT?
Lola Vice warms up.
She kicks and punches away on a dummy, and Roxanne Perez storms in. Does Lola think she’s stupid or something? We all saw how Lola eyed the Women’s Championship. So if Lola thinks she’s gonna get her title- Okay, hold on. Yes, Lola was eyeing the title. But she’s not gonna fake being friends just to get close to the title. Lola will even tell Roxie’s plan: she will knockout every woman that gets in her way, including the four women in the Triple Threat tonight. She won’t go after Roxie, yet. So is Roxie ready to do this? Roxie says that Lola may not get it, but as THE NXT Women’s Champion, she doesn’t trust Lola or anyone else. But let’s handle business.
Roxie heads out, Lola takes off the gloves. That Triple Threat is up next, will The Prodigy and Miami Vice be able to hold it together against two teams that are united?
Ridge Holland regroups with Chase U.
Andre Chase & Thea Hail are certainly proud of him for being out there with so many opponents. He may not have won, but he fought hard and represented Chase U well. Duke Hudson gets off his phone to say yes, indeed. Very impressive. But hey look, a message from Riley Osborne. It says, “What about our mate, Ridge?” See? Even Riley’s coming around. Speaking of, where is Riley? Oh, back home in the UK. But when he comes back, this will be the best version of Chase U the world has ever seen! Well said, Thea! Ridge tries on his new Chase U shirt, and it fits like a glove. But then The Good Brothers walk over and sarcastically clap.
Luke Gallows says, “Would ya look at that? They’ve finally accept him.” Karl Anderson says, “From a brute, to a nerd!” How touching. He might cry. Ridge says ignore the haters. Duke says nah, they’ve got this. Chase says yeah, if the Good Brothers have a problem with Ridge, then they’ve got a problem with Chase U. Thea says yeah! Oh, so they’ll fight his battles for him? Duke says if it’s Ridge’s battle, it’s their battle, too. Gallows says, “You don’t want none of this, kid!” THEA goes off, but Duke holds her back. The Good Brothers leave, but Chase says they’ll handle this. When and where will the bullies get what’s coming to them?
Triple Threat Tag: Roxanne Perez & Lola Vice VS Jacy Jayne & Jazmyn Nyx VS Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson!
We just heard from champion and one potential challenger, but with The Toxic Traitor’s face on the mend and Meta Four wanting more, the walls might be closing in on The Prodigy. Will this tag team Triple Threat help clear some space? Or will someone score themselves a golden ticket to Toronto?
In this form of Triple Threat, each team has one woman legal, so Roxie steps up against Jakara and Jacy. Roxie kicks Jacy low, fires hands on Jakara, but Jakara ROCKS her then headlocks. Roxie powers out to send Jakara into Jacy, then she rolls Jakara up. Jacy sunset flips Roxie, TWO! Jakara ghost pins Jacy, TWO! Roxie ghost pins Jakara, TWO! Jacy grabs Roxie but she hits a JAWBREAKER! Jakara waistlocks Roxie but Roxie switches to O’Conner Roll! TWO and Roxie is sent into a LARIAT by Jacy! Jacy turns around, Jakara hits a SLINGBLADE! Jakara talks smack then tags Lash! Lash gets Jacy up, and brings Roxie over, but they both stomp Lash’s feet!
Roxie & Jacy mug Lash, but she shoves Jacy away and DECKS Roxie! Jacy gets around to crucifix but Lash stays up! Roxie runs up and leaps, but into Lash’s arms! Lash says nope! She dribbles them both in the ropes! The fans cheer as Lash then SWINGS Jacy into Roxie, but Jacy swings free to arm-drag! Jacy ducks ‘n ‘dodges, Jazmyn tags in, RANA and PENALTY KICK! Cover, Jakara breaks it! Jakara whips but Jazmyn TOSSES Jakara! Roxie TOSSES Jazmyn! Roxie CLUBS away on Lash, jumps on for a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK, but Lash reaches out! Lash lifts Roxie, Loa tags in! Lash TOSSES Roxie, but Lola fires off kicks on Lash!
Lash blocks a kick, scoops Lola and SLAMS her down! Lash then drags Roxie up, reels her in, but Roxie fights out of the powerbomb! Roxie kicks low, Lola kicks low, then they DOUBLE LAREIAT Lash down! They kick Lash out, Jazmyn LEAPS at Lash! Lash catches Jazmyn, so Jacy CANNONBALLS! Down goes Lash, but then Jakara RAMS Jacy into steel steps! The fans fire up, but Loa SOBATS Jakara, and Roxie DIVES! Down goes Miss Jackson, and the fans fire up as Roxie and Lola actually high-five! For not being friends, they’re making it work as a team, and NXT goes to break.
NXT returns and Jakara has Lola’s legs while Jazmyn has Lola in a headscissor squeeze! Jakara turns Lola over into a BOSTON CRAB! Lola endures double submissions, who wins if she taps out!? But Roxie CLAWS at Jazmyn, she lets go, but theN Jacy goes after Roxie! Roxie TOSSES Jacy off the apron! Jakara stomps Lola, but Lola BOOTS her away! Loal then BODY SHOTS Jazmyn! Tag to Roxie and she fires off on Jakara! Then on Jazmyn! UPPERCUT for Jakara, UPPERCUT for Jazmyn, repeat! Roxie wrenches Jakara, kicks Jazmyn< RUSSIAN LEG SWEE DDT COMBO! Cover on Jazmyn, TWO! Cover on Jakara, TWO!
Roxie shrieks in anger but she drags Jakara up by her hair. Tag to Lola and they mug Jakara. Jakara hits back but Lola fires those fast kicks! Jazmyn runs up, but Lola ROCKS her, then fires off more kicks! Jazmyn sits in a corner, Jakara is in the other. The afns fire up because Lola’s a Latina~! HIP ATTACK on Jazmyn! HIP ATTACK on Jakara! Lola keeps going, but Jacy CLOBBERS Lola! Cover, Jakara breaks it! Jakara hurries to tag Lash, and she runs up. Jacy dodges, BOOTS Lash, but Lash DECKS Jacy! Then she BOOTS Lola! And she DECKS Roxie! Lash hauls Jacy up, gets Lola added to it, DOUBLE SUPLEX! And a kip up!
Tag to Jakara and Meta Four gets Jacy up. Wheelbarrow and CUTTER! Cover, Jazmyn breaks it in time! But Lash THRASHES Jazmyn! Jazmyn PELES Lash! Jakara runs up on Jazmyn, EDGE-O-MATIC! But Lola URAKENS!! Roxie tags in, which upsets Lola, but Roxie hops on to POP ROX!! Cover, Roxie & Lola win!
Winners: Roxanne Perez & Lola Vice, by pinfall
It was already buenas noches when Lola hit Jakara, but The Prodigy always needs the spotlight. Roxie holds onto the title, even as Lola raises her hand in victory. But then Roxie URAKENS Lola!! Roxie strikes first, but will Lola have the last laugh?
Je’Von Evans meets with Ava Raine.
The NXT GM congratulates the new #1 contender, that is a big deal. He appreciates even being put in there. Nah, that was definitely all him. But then Ethan Page storms in and demands that Ava should do something! Do something about Oro “The Menace” Mensah, who has attacked Ethan like five different times! Ava says she did, she kicked Oro out of the building. OH~, thank you so much~! How about she kick him out of NXT entirely instead?! If not for Ethan, he’d still be in the battle royal! Actually, no, he IS still in, he never got thrown out, the match should still be going! And what is Je’Von laughing at?!
Those results should be null and void, and Ethan should be the one in this room talking Heatwave with Ava! Not some punk ass kid! Oh, he’s a punk ass kid? Well oddly enough, this punk kid’s got another match in him. Does Ethan? Or has Oro been beating his ass that badly? Ethan says he’s got another match in him! Let’s go! Ava asks if Je’Von is sure about this. Je’Von says yeah, let’s have it out in the main event! Ava says that settles it. Ethan says Je’Von may have all the heart in the world, but he has nothing between those ears. Ava tells Ethan and Je’Von to save it for the main event. But will All Ego look to change the plans for Heatwave with his own two hands?
Kelani Jordan heads to gorilla position.
The Stand Out sees both allies and enemies watching her as she goes. But it’s Sol Ruca who tells her that she’s got this. Kelani thanks Sol and high-fives her. The gold is on the line for the first time, will we see no one does it like Lani? Or will Michin make this first reign a short one?
NXT Women’s North American Championship: Kelani Jordan VS Mia Yim!
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly championship material!
The bell rings and Mia offers a handshake. Kelani takes it, and the two circle. The fans rally and duel, the two tie up, and Mia headlocks. Kelani powers up and out, but Mia runs her over. Mia shrugs, runs, but then rolls over the dropdown. Kelani runs, tilt-o-whirls and RANAS, but Mia handsprings through! Kelani kips up, but wait, The Good Brothers saunter out here. Kelani says okay, she gets it. They still shake hands, but then Mia uses that to get a backslide! TWO, Kelani rolls Mia, TWO! Kelani arm-drags, Mia arm-drags, and then Mia avoids an arm-drag to Oklahoma Roll! ONE!! Mia hurries to get another headlock.
Kelani powers up and out, then drops down to handspring, but Mia watches out! Kelani slingshots but Mia blocks the arm-drag! Mia arm-drags, runs up, but Kelani dodges.

The refs hurry out here, but Miss Parker herself SHOVES Mia off the top!!
Jaida slips away, Mia flounders, and Kelani goes up and up to SPLIT-LEG MOONSAULT! Cover, Kelani wins!!
Winner: Kelani Jordan, by pinfall (still NXT Women’s North American Champion)
Jaida gets back at Michin, and Kelani is still the first Women’s North American Champion! But will things only get harder for The Stand Out from here on out?
Backstage interview with Ethan Page.
Kelly Kincaid is with All Ego, and says it has been a wild night for him already. He was only in the battle royal for a few seconds- Uh, wrong, Kelly. Ethan is still in that match because he was never eliminated! And you know what else? Trick Williams did not beat Ethan Page at Ethan’s best! Because at Battleground in Las Vegas, Ethan was attacked by Oro Mensah in the parking lot! Ethan let his emotions get the better of him, but now he is back on track. Ethan has business to handle, and the first order of business is Je’Von Evans. Then Ethan IS coming after Trick, he will take that title from him, but ORO!
Ethan warns Oro that the next time they cross paths, Ethan will make sure to deal with him. Will Oro regret getting in All Ego’s way?
Izzi Dame speaks.
“Being great was never a choice. It was my way of life. On the volleyball court, I was that girl. A Division I athlete with All American honors.” She loved smashing faces, zinging the ball 60+ miles per hour at the opponents. She set records for kills and velocity, then went pro. It’s no wonder WWE wanted her to be that girl in NXT. She is picking up this new game real quick, and will soon dominate in the ring like she did on the court. These “Non-Athletic Regular People,” AKA NARPs, won’t stand a chance. It Iz what it Iz.
Axiom and Nathan Frazer talk backstage.
Axiom wants to know what Frazer was doing out there. Oh, well, hola to you to, amigo. Axiom wants to know why Frazer didn’t tell him he’d be in the battle royal. Uh, shouldn’t the real question be why Axiom wasn’t in there? Who is gonna pass up a shot at the NXT Championships, mate? But they’re the NXT Tag Team Champions, mate! Yeah, he knows. And then last week, Frazer was looking at the Heritage Cup- Yeah, and then he eliminated Tony D tonight! So maybe- Maybe, maybe, maybe! Is being a tag champ not good enough for Frazer? That’s not what Frazer’s trying to say. Well there’s a Tag Team Turmoil next week, with the winners-
But then Luca Crusifino walks in. The Legal Eagle isn’t trying to interrupt or anything, but he is here on business. After what happened in that battle royal, The Don had him draft up a contract for an NXT Heritage Cup match. It is already signed off and approved by Tony D and Ava. Frazer snatches it up and signs on the dotted line! Luca verifies, and says that’s not a bad signature. Luca heads out and Axiom says this is unbelievable. Frazer asks what he means by that, and Axiom just leaves. Frazer says they’re quite literally off next week, no worries! But will there be reason to worry should Frazer actually win the Heritage Cup back?
Tatum Paxley paid a visit to TNA!
It was TNA: Against All Odds, where the twisted, title obsessed Tatum showed up to challenge Jordynne Grace for the Knockouts Championship. In the end, The Juggernaut made Tatum pay for that stunt at Battleground and she retained the title. Will Tatum return to NXT tail between her legs as she must settle for opportunities over here?
Oba Femi is here!
The fans cheer as The Ruler heads to the ring, bringing his Men’s North American Championship with him. Oba gets a mic to then say, “This feels all too familiar, doesn’t it? Once again, Oba, still the North American Champion! Still the Ruler of NXT. And I did tell everybody who would listen to me, I told them that no matter how many men would step up to me at Battleground, the results remain the same.” The fans cheer, and Oba smiles. Oba says he flew to Vegas, did what he did best and dominated two men in Joe Coffey and Wes Lee. Two of the greatest that NXT has to offer! But they are nothing like Oba. There is NO ONE like Oba!
“So look in my eyes, and riddle me this. Who can ever take this title from me?” Wes Lee makes his way out! The Cardiac Kid says to answer the question, it’d be Wes. See, Oba knows, Wes knows, and everyone that watched Battleground knows, Oba sure didn’t pin Wes. Oh, this again, Wes? Wes’s obsession with what was once his is begin to irritate Oba. Oh, is it? Well, Wes doesn’t care! But wait, what’s going on in the crowd? Is that Brooks Jensen? Security hurries to stop that, and Wes tells Oba that he was in Vegas for one thing: Oba! And Oba knows how badly Wes wanted to test himself against Oba 1v1.
Hell, Wes even had the chance to be in the battle royal, and he respectfully declined! Why? Because all of Wes’s energy, every ounce of him, is focused on HIS North American Championship and getting it back. Oba says he’s realized Wes is going in circles, and he is just tired of it. he is done. Oba goes to leave, but Wes shouts at him! “Don’t turn your back on me!” Oba smirks but Wes says Oba has everything going for him. Oba is making headlines every week. Oba has guys like Big E saying Oba is their favorite superstar. And NXT is treating Oba like the greatest North American Champion ever. But even Oba knows what Wes is to that title, unless Oba does something about it.
And Wes is giving Oba that opportunity. But just know, that Oba will be facing a different kind of kid when it’s Wes 1v1. And Wes will show Oba exactly what it is Wes’s name in those record books. Oba tells Wes that it seems he has a lot of faith in himself, as do the fans. They really believe Wes can win this belt back. But that is neither here nor there. What really concerns Oba is changing those record books. So Wes, Oba will give Wes his 1v1 match. However…! This will be the first and FINAL time Wes gets at this title so long as Oba is champion. What’s it going to be, Wes? Do they have an accord?
Wes says Oba’s got it. The deal has been struck, but will Wes’s one and final shot be the only shot he needs to take it all back? Or will Oba force him to finally move on from the past?
Hank ‘n’ Tank regroup backstage.
Hank tries to encourage Tank but Tank feels he blew it. Hank says hey, 25 Man Battle Royals are tricky, but he’s got good news. This is a 10 outta 10 on the Hank ‘n’ Tank good news scale. Moments ago, Hank was cleared from his shoulder injury, he is ready to get back in that ring! Hank ‘n’ Tank high-five, and that means if they’re back in action, they gotta get back in action! You see Tyler Bate tonight? Hank couldn’t miss him! He was spinning Tank like pizza dough. Tank dry heaves and says he knows. But that is how Hank ‘n’ Tank get back on track. Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne, two absolute technicians, take on Hank ‘n’ Tank!
The beefy boys shake hands and fire up, but will they be able to tackle the top tekkers of the New Catch Republic?
No Quarter Catch Crew regroups backstage.
Charlie Dempsey asks Tavion Heights if he has any idea why he’s here. Tavion says no. No? Well, Myles was supposed to give him a hint. Myles, why didn’t you tell Tavion why he’s here? Kemp signals to Myles but Myles doesn’t know what about. Dempsey gets mad and shouts at Myles. How come Myles didn’t tell Tavion why he’s here? Sorry, he didn’t hear anything. Dempsey says Tavion is impressive. Former Olympian, former PanAm Champion, multiple Greco-Roman championships under his belt. Kemp shrugs in confusion, he has those things, too. But Dempsey says Tavion has everything the Crew needs.
That is why Dempsey invited Tavion here. He wants Tavion to be NQCC. Well, alright. Oh, playing hardball, huh? N-No…? Dempsey will do Tavion one better. Next week, it will be Tavion VS Kemp. Wait, what? Yeah, man! After what Kemp did to Dempsey in the battle royal, he deserves this. So if Tavion wins, he’s in. Even better! Dempsey says Tavion drives a hard bargain, and he likes that. They shake on it, but seriously, what is going on in Dempsey’s head?
NXT Anonymous is watching Gallus.
Joe is furious, and asks who the hell Wes Lee think he is!? Wes gets another title shot when Gallus beat him in that ring last week! Who should be getting another match? It’s Joe! Wolfgang & Mark agree, but then Tyriek & Tyson attack! Gallus has to fight off the #Tygers, but then refs rush in! Seems Gallus will have to pay for doing whatever they want to whoever they want, will this be just the thing Igwe & Dupont need to get themselves in tag title contention?
Fallon Henley VS Carlee Bright w/ Kendal Grey!
The Cowgirl is not having it with these new girls trying to jump the line. If Fallon Comes First, will she be unstoppable on the way to the top? Or will Carlee be! Aggressive! B E aggressive?
NXT returns and Carlee makes her entrance. The bell rings and the two tie up. They go around, Fallon waistlocks then trips Carlee to headlock. Carlee endures the grind, fights up, and she throws Fallon off. Carlee wrenches to a wristlock but Fallon powers her way to a headlock and takeover.

NXT Media catches up with Eddy Thorpe.
They know The Alpha Wolf didn’t win in the battle royal, but he seems to have that fire in his eyes. Yeah, they all saw him out there. He had an injury that put him out of action for awhile, but he got a great return win and a strong showing tonight. He wants to pick up momentum so that once he gets going, he’ll be the one challenging Trick, Oba, or even Tony D. Sorry if he seems a little all over the place, but NXT is getting hot and he wants to be in the middle of it. Eddy heads out for the night, but will he soon be at the precipice of a great opportunity?
Je’Von Evans gets checked by medical.
The doc wants him to be careful with those ribs, but Je’Von says hey, he’s headed to Heatwave. Trick walks in to say hey and congrats on the battle royal. But two matches in one night? Let’s talk about it! Je’von says you know he’s gotta do what he’s gotta do. Ya boi gotta keep pushing. But is he good? Yeah, yeah. Appreciate you, Doc. Trick just wants Je’Von to understand, Ethan Page is a bad man. He stepped into NXT, hustled his way to a title match, and now he’s trying to do it all again. Je’Von has to put an end to this. Je’Von says Ethan’s goofy, this ain’t nothing. Then that’s why Je’Von has to handle Ethan for real this time.
Je’Von says thanks, but Ethan thinks this is just a game. Trick says Ethan doesn’t belong in NXT. Doesn’t matter how much time is on his contract, if it were Trick, Ethan will always be an outsider. Je’Von says real talk, he’ll get that W, then it’ll be the two of them for this title. They shake on it, but will the Young OG be able to make it through another hard fought match here tonight? Or is Trick right about Ethan being a snake?
Andre Chase & Duke Hudson w/ Chase U VS The Good Brothers w/ Mia Yim!
Professor Chase & The Chase U MVP stood up on behalf of Ridge Holland, and now they’ll be fighting on behalf of him, too! Will they show that The OC isn’t the only club that sticks together? Or will things be Just Too Sweet?

Winners: Andre Chase & Duke Hudson, by pinfall
Duke seems rather surprised! The cameras weren’t in position, did Yorkshire Grit sneak a little assist? Will it matter once Chase U is back in contention for the tag titles?
Ava Raine meets with Kelani Jordan.
Robert Stone & Stevie Turner are there as the GM congratulates Kelani on her first title defense. But Ava also has to say, there was a long, long line of women in front of her door wanting their shot at Kelani. Kelani knows, but as one challenge ends, another begins. And she knows who it should be. Someone who is deserving, who never complains or feels like they’re owed anything. But in steps Arianna Grace. Doesn’t Kelani know it’s not polite to talk about someone behind their backs? But in this case, she’ll allow it!
Arianna moves Stevie aside to say Kelani is such a sweetheart to be thinking about her. Especially when Arianna wasn’t even in the combine to qualify for a chance. So she just wants to tell Kelani thanks, and she accepts. Uh, sorry, Arianna, this is kinda awkward, but Kelani didn’t mean Arianna just now. She was talking about someone who never asks for anything, never complains, stuff like that. And who is that? Sol Ruca. Ohhh… Yes… Well, Sol is nice, but she doesn’t carry herself like a champion! Or a pageant queen. Sol surfs! The only thing that suits her is the ocean. And Arianna is so much better that it’s funny!
Stone says if that’s the case, Arianna should prove it. Ava agrees! Sol VS Arianna next week, winner gets the shot. Arianna has no choice but to accept, will she back up her words and win her way to the title match? Or will she just get her Soul Snatched?
Chase U regroups backstage.
Thea is all fired up! They just beat THE OC! Do you see what happens when Chase U is on the same page? Congrats on the win! Andre Chase thanks Thea, but just wishes Riley was here to be part of it. When does he get back? Soon, hopefully. And what were the Good Brothers complaining about after? No idea. Duke looks at Ridge and Chase jokingly asks if Duke was up to no good. Duke says why him? But uh, no, he didn’t do nothing, didn’t see nothing. Well, Ridge, did you see something? No, just Duke rolling ’em up clean as a whistle. Well, alright! Time to celebrate! Chase and Thea head out, Ridge and Duke give each other a look. Was there something fishy about that win?
Fallon Henley throws a fit backstage!
Even though she won, The Cowgirl is still upset! Everyone just skips over her like she’s nothing! Jacy & Jazmyn walk in and say she is pretty pissed. Uh yeah she is! Wanna know why? Cuz Kelani doesn’t even deserve to have that title in the first place, and this is a damn joke! Join the club. At least Fallon’s nose isn’t broken. And she also won her match! Jacy & Jazmyn weren’t even pinned! Well then it is either Sol Ruca or Arianna Grace! So much for seniority, or even respect. Is that too much to ask for? No, it is not. In fact, Jacy is sick of the way things are done around here. So is Fallon. Are these former enemies bonding over… toxicity?
Trick Williams heads to ringside!
The fans cheer as THE NXT Champion is going to join commentary for this main event! Will he see the Young OG handle business? Or is All Ego about to take away Je’Von’s ticket to Toronto by force?

The fans fire up as all four men are down, the title down between them all! Everyone grabs for the gold, are things only going to heat up towards Heatwave?
My Thoughts:
A great NXT, but a very talkative one. I get it, promos help to move stories along but did we need this many promos to do it? I did appreciate there was story integration at least. Kelani VS Mia was really good, but Jaida screws Mia over because of their ongoing feud. We’ll definitely be getting a Mixed Six of OTM VS The OC now, but we might even throw Chase U into that as Ridge surely did help Duke cheat that pin to beat The Good Brothers. And a Mixed Six Triple Threat would be kinda fun, maybe a little chaotic. But clearly it’s also helping build a sort of Chase U Civil War as Duke & Riley try to show everyone they were right about Ridge all along.
The tag division in NXT is really heating up, too. Great NXT Anonymous video of Ty & Ty going after Gallus, I hope they’ll be part of Tag Team Turmoil next week. Same goes for Hank ‘n’ Tank and New Catch Republic. And I do appreciate the tension being created between Axiom and Frazer. Honestly, Frazer should be trying to convince Axiom they can be a Two Man Power Trip but Axiom seems about singular focus so they don’t lose what they’ve got. Tony VS Frazer is going to be a great Heritage Cup match, but I feel like Axiom’s lack of support is going to be why Frazer loses out in the end.
Related to the Heritage Cup, No Quarter Catch Crew feels like it’s falling apart. Dempsey is starting to be delusional, off in his own little world, but Tavion VS Damon is going to be really good. Also, it’s still very clever how they subtly poke fun at Myles Borne being partially deaf. I still feel like Tavion and Damon should end up a team of great shoot wrestlers and they can go after the tag titles. I’m just not sure the endgame for NQCC with Dempsey driving himself crazy trying to be more like The D’Angelo Family.
Fallon’s story also grows stronger with how she’s bitter over this Women’s North American Championship stuff. Good match from her and Carlee, but what a surprise that Wendy showed up just to choke out Kendal. And good bit with Arianna Grace where she of course thinks she’s more important than she is. Sol will definitely beat Arianna in the #1 contender’s match, but Fallon joining forces with Jacy & Jazmyn is an interesting trio. Great Triple Threat tag with Roxie & Lola winning. Roxie VS Lola is clearly the next Women’s Championship match, that’ll be good stuff.
Good promo for Izzi Dame to help us learn some of her sports origin story. A little surprised we didn’t get this sooner, because it would’ve helped her be more than just Kiana James’ sidekick. And I’m both okay and disappointed that Tatum going after Jordynne Grace was done so quickly with it being an Against All Odds open challenge type move. I’m okay because it’s done, I don’t have to worry about missing out on anything on TNA’s weekly programming. But I’m disappointed that they didn’t try a little harder on returning the favor of NXT visiting TNA. At least, at this point. We surely will get more crossover, I just hope they make it feel equal.
Speaking of which, kinda didn’t feel that way in the battle royal tonight. Yes, it was awesome that THE Joe Hendry made his NXT debut, but why was he the first person eliminated? Why wasn’t he in the spot Kaz filled in this match? I suppose it’d make more sense if I knew how the feud of Hendry and Kaz was going on TNA, but then why not kill two birds with one stone? Hendry eliminates Kaz for the TNA story, but then all of us get what we want with having more Joe Hendry on NXT. In the end, it was still an NXT guy winning, so what harm would it do to make Hendry one of the finalists?
Likewise, very clever of them to have Ethan eliminated without being eliminated while adding heat to Ethan’s story with Oro. And then we got a great main event out of Ethan VS Je’Von. Ethan of course wins after all the damage Je’Von’s ribs have taken, but I also like that we’re getting more Spears VS Je’Von going on. And that closing image tonight definitely teases a Fatal 4 Way for the title. It’s obvious, right? They’re gonna be in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and we’ve got two Canadians in Spears and Ethan. They’ll get the hometown crowd into it, and with a Fatal 4, whether Trick wins or loses, it helps protect everybody with how they can make things chaotic and opportunistic.
My Score: 8.8/10

Cole drives up, he shakes hands with Hank ‘n’ Tank. This truck ain’t the Double Zero but it still runs. But then Out The Mud walks over and says Cole just parked in their spot. He may be a special guest, but this is their show. Hank ‘n’ Tank says last they checked, NO ONE has a special spot. If they have a problem with tonight’s guest, then let’s settle this in the ring. Bronco Nima says fine. The special guest can even have a front row seat when OTM beats Hank’s ‘n’ Tank’s asses.
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.

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!
Hank hits a BULLDOG! The fans fire up as Hank goes out to run in and POUNCE Price onto the desk! Hank hurries up top, to FLYING LARIAT Nima! Price runs in, Hank DUMPS him back out! 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?

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?

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?

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?

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 BRONSON 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! They fight for control, but then Bron RAMS Jey into the post! Bron brings Jey back up, RAMS him back into the post, then snarls as he looms over Jey. Bron stands Jey up, turns him around, and APRON BACKBREAKERS! Jey flops to the floor and Bron snarls. The ref wants this in the ring, but Bron soaks up the heat.
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!

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.
