The Fatal Influence walk ‘n’ talk.
Jazmyn Nyx says tonight, Fallon & Jacy are going to show the whole world what they’re all about. Jacy says that Lash & Jakara may be impressive athletes, but this is their world. Fallon says, “Let’s do this, girls.”
Meta Four responds.
Lash says Fatal Influence has already made a fatal mistake. They’re gonna find out they’re messing with the wrong ones. Jakara says it doesn’t matter how they got here, The Bougie Bully & Miss Jackson ARE NXT. Let’s go. It is time to put up or shut up, will Meta Four’s top two be on top?

NXT looks back at the friendship of Wes Lee & Zachary Wentz.
It was back in 2021 that the Cardiac Kid said, “Chasing this dream put me down a very dark path, but when you align yourself with the right people, keep your mind right, you will not be denied.” That was when MSK made their impact in NXT. But then, just as they had it all, it all fell apart. Wes lost the tag titles, lost a friend, and lost his identity. He learned to rely on himself, and made waves. He became perhaps THE greatest North American Champion. But he gave so much of himself that he needed surgery, time, and healing. He became obsessed, but fell short. And just when it looked like he was giving up completely, his friends came back for him.
The Rascalz reunited, and it felt so good for everyone. But when MSK fell short of returning to the top, Wes snapped. Zach let him down all over again. It was WES and Wes alone that achieved greatness. He wished Zach all the best in his future endeavors, but Zach just went after him in return! And now, these two will be showing each other No Mercy. They will have one last face-to-face conversation, but will there be anything left to say?
Eddy Thorpe DJ’d another gig.
The Alpha Wolf has the crowd jumping to the beat, and cut to reality, the ladies admiring his work. That was a great night. Ashante THEE Adonis walks in and says that beat’s dope. Is that Eddy? Yep. Didn’t Ashante know? Eddy DJ’d the Orlando live event. Oh, so the ladies were there? Then he’ll have to start going to these. The ladies say bye, and Ashante asks which one is Eddy’s girl. Ashante doesn’t wanna step on his territory or nothing. Eddy says none of them, they’re just friends. Oh, for real? Like, a plutonic relationship with beautiful women? Yeah, man, it’s possible. Wow, didn’t think those types of DJs existed.
What? He didn’t think a DJ could be all about the music and nothing more? Meanwhile, we see Edris Enofe going by while on his phone, and he steps into a back room. But then so does Brooks Jensen, with Shawn Spears’ white chair!! JENSEN ATTACKS EDRIS!! Eddy hurries over to stop that, but the damage is done! Jensen avenged Spears for last week, but what will Malik Blade have as a response? Is Jensen truly a lost cause?
Karmen Petrovic VS Izzi Dame!
“Sword Girl” was lucky enough to be chosen by lottery to enter the Gauntlet Eliminator, and yet that only made her a target for those that weren’t chosen. Izzi attacked Karmen in the infamous NXT parking lot, took her out of the gauntlet but was given this match instead. Will Izzi spike Karmen like a volleyball? Or will she be the one targeted by the real-life Beatrix Kiddo?
NXT returns as Izzi makes her entrance. The bell rings and they both rush in! Karmen dodges to then KICK, KICK and KICKS at Izzi’s legs! Izzi grabs Karmen by the neck, but Karmen KICKS free! Karmen runs, but Izzi scoops. Karmen slips free, headlocks, but Izzi powers up to lift. Karmen thrashes the hold to hold on, even as Izzi tries again. Izzi powers up to power out, and then she RUNS Karmen over. Things keep moving, Karmen drops to drop toehold, but Izzi’s too tall for that! Izzi stands Karmen up, swings, but Karmen dodges. Karmen returns, but into a scoop and BACKBREAKER! The fans boo while Izzi watches Karmen go to a corner.
Izzi runs up, RAMS Karmen, and digs her shoulder in. The ref counts, Izzi lets off, but she scoops Karmen for another BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Izzi stalks Karmen, drags her up, and whips her to a corner. Izzi LARIATS, whips again, then runs up, but into a BOOT! Karmen goes up to ENZIGIRI! Karmen goes up again, to LEAP, but into Izzi’s arms! SKY HIGH! Cover, TWO!! Karmen survives and Izzi grows frustrated. Izzi drags Karmen up, torture racks and thrashes Karmen around! Karmen endures, the fans rally, and Karmen fires knees! Karmen knees free, staggers, but Izzi is up! Izzi whips, Karmen ducks ‘n’ dodges, tilt-o-whirl CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO!
Karmen hurries up, slides under Izzi, then KICKS her low! Karmen whips but Izzi blocks to reverse. Karmen goes up to BOOT Izzi! Then WHEEL KICK! Karmen fires up and the fans are with her! Karmen aims from a corner, runs and ROCKS Izzi! And ROCKS her again! And DISCUS LARIAT! Shoutout to The Boat! Cover, TWO! Izzi stays in this but Karmen refocuses. Karmen runs up but Izzi LARIATS! Izzi then BOOTS Karmen, stands on her, TWO! The cocky cover was not enough and Izzi is furious! Izzi drags Karmen up but Karmen KICKS her! Karmen fires forearms and CHOPS, Izzi shoves and BOOTS her again!
Izzi drags Karmen up, scoops her, and swings her, but Karmen sunset flips it! KARMEN WINS!!
Winner: Karmen Petrovic, by pinfall
It iz what it is, right? Karmen used technique to defeat the volleyball ace, will Izzi just have to settle for earning opportunities rather than taking them?
No Quarter Catch Crew warms up backstage.
Charlie Dempsey and Myles Borne grapple, and Wren Sinclair wants to cut in. Dempsey says enough, Wren! Stop! What? She wants to get warmed up! Wren says they should follow her lead. Uh, no, Dempsey is Heritage Cup Champion, she’s not. So they follow HIS lead. Fine. But let’s not forget, Charles, if not for her, he wouldn’t even be champion. But go ahead, lead on. Dempsey does, will the #WrenQCC be able to hold it together?
The D’Angelo Family also warms up backstage.
Channing Lorenzo holds his hands out, Adrianna Rizzo is throwing fire with those hands. The Don says they look good. But in step the cousins, they need a minute. Tony says not now. Tony tells Stacks, Rizzo & Luca that the NQCC needs to pay for what they did. Let’s go. The cousins say they gotta talk, but Tony says no, wait until after the match. Tony follows his team out, but the cousins are stressing out. Could this urgent news be very, very bad for The Don?
Sarah Schreiber interviews Jaida Parker.
They sit down, and Sarah says Miss Parker made her NXT debut less than a year ago via the Women’s Breakout Tournament. Then last week, she outlasted five other women in the Gauntlet Eliminator to earn her first ever NXT Women’s Championship match. How has this journey been for her? It has been fast, that’s for sure. It was two years ago that she signed with WWE, and before that, she was a D1 soccer player at LSU. The transition from field to ring made her nervous, but it all fell into place. She got on TV with the tournament, she had her first PLE match alongside OTM, and then her first solo move was Battleground and the Women’s North American title ladder match.
Plus, she had her wild feud with Michin, and then last week, winning the Gauntlet Eliminator. Now, Sunday, it’s her chance to win THE NXT Women’s title. Then Sarah has to ask. That gauntlet was a battle, and she took a solid hit form Sol Ruca. How is she feeling after that? Is she going to be 100% by Sunday? She won’t lie, she is still sore. Nothing is broken or cracked, though, so she’s making it there. No denying the confidence, but is Roxanne Perez underestimating Jaida? Oh absolutely! She will give Roxie her flowers as one of the greatest of all time. But Roxie fails to understand, Jaida ain’t scared of the spotlight.
Jaida has been in the spotlight since she was a teenager. She had D1 colleges recruiting her since middle school! She played at LSU in front of thousands and thousands of fans! She played on the US Under-17 National Women’s Team. So no, Jaida isn’t a soccer player who became a WWE superstar, she is a star who used to play soccer. We’ve seen her, she is confident, cocky, speaks her mind, and when money is in the middle, Jaida is on point. Her actions speak for themselves, and this Sunday, they’ll speak even louder. Roxie barges in and tells Sarah to leave. Did she stutter? LEAVE! Sarah does as told and Roxie sits with Jaida.
Roxie says congrats. A little less than a year since her debut and now she has a big title match. A confident challenger, ready as ever. Jaida thanks Roxie and says keep going. Oh, no, Roxie wasn’t talking about Jaida. She was talking about Lola Vice, because that was her story. And, it was also Thea Hail’s story, and everyone just has a story when it comes to challenging for this title. But those stories always end the same way: disappointment. And don’t get Roxie wrong, Jaida Parker is a future champion! Just look at her! She has it all! Except for one thing. She isn’t a Prodigy. And on Sunday, Jaida finds out what everyone already knows: NO ONE is better than Roxie.
Jaida tells Roxie that she’s gonna slap the taste out of her mouth. Roxie dares her to try, and SLAP!! It happens now! Jaida smiles, then looks over. What’s she doing her? Oh, yeah, Jaida heard about her. She can get some, too. Wait, who? Roxie also sees this person, but WHO IS IT!? Who has secretly arrived in NXT in the background of this big title match?
Mixed Six Tag: The D’Angelo Family VS No Quarter Catch Crew!
The Don has Stacks, Rizzo & The Consigliere ready to handle business, but Wren Sinclair is just as determined to make sure her team stands tall once again. But will Wren have to learn it’s not her team? Or will The D’Angelos teach her that the hard way?
The trios sort out, and while Charlie argues with Wren, Stacks SHOTGUNS Dempsey down! The fans fire up as Stacks then trips Charlie and rains down fists!

Myles tags in, Dempsey snapmares free and Myles UPPERCUTS!
Luca kicks and UPPERCUTS in return, but Myles does the same! Luca hooks Myles, backslides, TWO! Luca headlocks, grinds the hold, and Stacks tags in. Myles powers up but Luca whips him into KNEES from Stacks! Stacks back suplexes but Myles fights free! Myles hits a BIG back suplex, and then he has Stacks in a corner. Myles fires uppercuts, stomps a mudhole, and Wren tags in!? Wren incidentally saves Luca and she eggs Rizzo on. Rizzo runs in, dodges, and ROCKS Wren! Wren CHOPS Rizzo, Rizzo ROCKS her, but Wren CHOPS back! And LARIATS! Wren runs, and BULLDOGS Rizzo! Cover, ONE!!
Wren kicks Rizzo, whips, but Rizzo reverses to DROPKICK! Rizzo kips up then DECKS Wren! The fans fire up while the NQCC regroups, but wait, the cousins hurry out. They tell Tony this can’t wait any longer! Tony says fine, and he follows them to the back. The D’Angelos have control, for now, and NXT goes to break.
NXT returns, Stacks has Myles by the legs! Dempsey runs in, Luca intercepts with an atomic drop! Then Luca trips Dempsey, and then Wren runs up! Rizzo atomic drops Wren, trips her, and now we get a TRIPLE BADA BOOM! NQCC is writhing from the leg splitting leg drops, and Stacks TOSSES Dempsey. He runs up to UPPERCUT Myles, then short arm LARIATS! Stacks runs, but Myles puts him on the apron! Stacks ROCKS Myles, BOOTS Dempsey, then BOOTS- NO, Myles blocks to DRAGON SCREW the leg! Stacks falls back, Myles goes out and drags him up. Myles pushes Stacks in, gator rolls him, and drags him over.
Myles turns Stacks over, tags Dempsey, and Dempsey KNEE DROPS on the bad leg! Dempsey stomps the leg, covers, TWO! Stacks toughs it out but Dempsey covers again, TWO! Dempsey drags Stacks by his leg to ANKLE LOCK! Stacks endures but his shoulders are down! TWO as Stacks sits up, but Dempsey twists that ankle! Dempsey turns Stacks over, hooks the leg, and bridges into a modified MUTA LOCK! Stacks endures, reaches out, and the fans rally up! Dempsey lets off to STOMP Stacks down! Dempsey puts Stacks in the corner, tags Myles, and they stomp away on the leg! The ref counts, NQCC lets off.
Myles drags Stacks, Stacks has the ropes, so Myles lets go at 4. Myles argues with the ref, but then tags Dempsey. Dempsey stomps Stacks’ leg, twists him around, and ties up the legs. Dempsey works to undo the knee brace! The ref reprimands, Dempsey CLUBS the leg, but Stacks hits back! The fans fire up as Stacks stands, but Dempsey waistlocks! Stacks fights the lift to victory roll, TWO!! Dempsey escapes, blocks a kick, and spins Stacks to GERMAN SUPLEX! Stacks tumbles into the corner, Dempsey storms up to tag Myles. They bring Stacks around, but Stacks slips free and the CHOP hits Myles!
Stacks hurries, hot tag to Luca! Luca rallies on Dempsey and Myles! The fans fire up, Luca ducks ‘n’ dodges to DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! Luca LARIATS Dempsey up and out, then he dodges Myles for a QUICK DRAW! Cover, Wren breaks it! The fans fire up as Wren taunts Luca, but Luca gets mad. But then Myles CLOBBERS Luca for her! Myles and Luca brawl on the outside, and Luca blocks a slap from Wren! Rizzo DIVES into Wren! Dempsey runs up, Rizzo TOSSES him! Luca pushes Myles in, he and Stacks hit SHATTER MACHINE!! Cover, D’Angelos win!
Winners: The D’Angelo Family, by pinfall
The Underboss & The Consigliere lay down the law, and that was a big win over NQCC! But will the news The Don has received cancel out all the good feelings from this victory?
Backstage interview with Pete Dunne.
Kelly Kincaid is with The Bruiserweight, and she brings up how Trick Williams interfered in last week’s Triple Threat. Dunne says that cost him a shot at the NXT Championship. But is he gonna bitch ‘n’ moan like Trick? No! He’ll figure it out! The NXT Championship is still the goal. But Dunne will first teach Trick another lesson: When you mess with The Bruiserweight, he beats you within an inch of your life. See you next week, Trick! Dunne storms off, will he tear Trick apart? Or will Trick be the one to #FigureItOut this time?
Ethan Page meets with Ava Raine in her office.
All Ego tells the NXT General Manager, “Here I am again in the principal’s office.” Ava says what Ethan did last week was unacceptable. He can’t go manhandling referees like that. What was he thinking? Oh, what was he thinking. She’s right, she has every right to fine him. No, better yet! It’d be a great way to show her authority around here: Suspend him! That way, he won’t even have to defend his title at No Mercy! Yeah, he’d love that. But no, he is absolutely defending his title on Sunday against Joe Hendry. She just has to figure out some things first. Oh, okay. Then as the GM, Ethan can only assume she doesn’t want a singing Scotsman as her NXT Champion.
Well, let’s not assume. What she wants is him out of her office. But he’ll be first to know when she’s done. Ethan sarcastically grumbles that this was a productive meeting. He leaves, but what exactly is Ava working on just days before the PLE?
Zachary Wentz is here!
The fans cheer as this lone Rascal makes his way to the ring, mic in hand. There is already security waiting around the ring just in case, because here comes Wes Lee! The fans boo the callous Cardiac Kid, and Zach is pacing like a hungry lion in a cage. Wes joins Zach in the ring, but refs make sure nothing happens. Wes grabs himself a mic, and tells Zach to say whatever he needs to say. Zach asks, “Why did I think that we would be different? Every team, every family in professional wrestling, they break up. But not The Rascalz! Not MSK!”
Wes stops Zach there. His yelling and screaming, it just shows how naive Zach really is. Zach says nine YEARS! Wes is pissing away nine years because he thinks he’s some huge star? THINK!? Wes KNOWS he is a huge star! Matter of fact, he’s a bigger star than Zach! And let’s be honest here. We all know Zach is jealous of Wes. Why’d Zach even come back? Clearly for that NXT rub. Now look, Wes wants Zach to get this through his head: Wes and Zach are on different levels. The fans boo, and Zach says hey, nobody was prouder of what Wes accomplished than Zach. And Zach admits, he messed up, okay?
MSK was one of the greatest tag teams in NXT history! And Zach ruined it. He can own up to that. And through it all, Wes became the main event superstar he always wanted to be. Zach got to grow up, to become a man, and for two YEARS, Zach had the picture of Wes, alone, in this ring, crying, wondering what was going to happen next. But that motivated Zach to pick himself up, to dig himself out of the hole, and to come back here to be reunited with his BROTHER! Wes has Zach stop again. Wes is glad he motivated Zach, but if they’d won the tag titles, the nostalgia high would’ve been great for like… Uh, a couple weeks.
But then Wes would’ve realized, he and Zach are just NOT on the same level. This isn’t 2022 anymore. Oh, now Wes wants to be cold? Wes is one of the most sensitive people on the planet! But what happened when Trey & Zach were ready to enter the arena a month ago? Wes was ready to quit for the THIRD TIME! Wes holds back his anger and Zach says if Wes wants to go there, then let’s go there. What happened when Wes went through surgery? Who was bringing Wes food when his wife was at work? Who was helping Wes in rehab? Who texted with Wes when Wes was having doubts? When Wes thought he was never coming back!?
Wes wants to counter but Zach says no no no! In front of the cameras, Zach couldn’t be Wes’ tag partner. But behind the scenes, Zach was ALWAYS Wes’ brother!! The fans cheer that! Wes says Zach can say whatever he has to so he can sleep at night. But on Sunday, Wes will show Zach, as he has said so many times before, they are just on different levels! Zach says Wes has always underestimated Zach their entire lives. Zach used to wish for Wes’ success, but now, he will make sure Wes fails, starting on Sunday! While Wes was smashing records in NXT, Trey & Zach were doing stuff in TNA that MSK could never do: becoming tag team champions!
Wes gets mad now, and he tells Zach that Sunday, forget everything! Forget their friendship, forget their accomplishments. On Sunday, No Mercy, Wes shows everyone why Wes is the WWE Superstar, and Zach is just a TNA wrestler. Zach says at No Mercy, this TNA wrestler beats the ass of this WWE Superstar! They’re both ready to tear each other apart, but the refs and security stay between them. What happens when no one can stop these two from showing each other no mercy?
Joe Hendry finds Trick Williams backstage.
Hendry wants to express his gratitude to Trick for the assist. If not for Trick, Hendry probably wouldn’t be facing Ethan Page this Sunday. Trick says hey, all he has to say is, he believes in Joe Hendry. Hendry appreciates that. And Hendry knows Trick has Dunne next week, but if Hendry beats Ethan- Wait, wait. Trick says when Hendry beats Ethan Page. Okay, when he beats Ethan, Hendry wants Trick to know he doesn’t have to figure this out. He gets the next shot. Trick says he’ll hold Hendry to that. Whoop dat trick, and good luck with the concert. Hendry thanks Trick, but will Ethan make sure Hendry hits a few sour notes?
Kelani Jordan VS ???
The walls are closing in on the NXT Women’s North American Champion, and Wendy Choo says she’s set up a little surprise for her. Who has Wendy aimed at the Gym Princess’ head? And will they be able to do it like Lani?
As Kelani makes her entrance, she grabs a mic and tells Wendy to stop making her wait! Who is it? Bring her out! Which one of her creepy, demonic little friends is it gonna be? Kelani’s courage trails off as Wendy gets on the tron. Wendy just tilts her head, and the camera zooms out. Wendy points this person in the direction of gorilla, and it’s ROSEMARY?!? TNA’s Demon Assassin is doing Wendy’s dirty work, but will she also earn her own shot at the gold?
The bell rings and the fans fire up for Rosemary. Rosemary and Kelani circle, tie up, and Rosemary powers Kelani to a corner. The ref counts, Kelani gets away, and the two go again. Kelani gets around to waistlock but Rosemary wrenches and whips. Kelani reverses, does the splits, then slingshot arm-drags! Kelani DROPKICKS Rosemary to a corner, runs up and SPLASHES! Then Kelani snapmares, runs, and SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! Rosemary goes to a corner, Kelani runs up, but into an ELBOW! Rosemary goes up to reel Kelani into a HANGING HEADSCISSORS! The ref counts, Rosemary lets go, and she has a wild smile as she slithers back in.
Rosemary aims, runs corner to corner, and she CLOBBERS Kelani! Rosemary reels Kelani in for a T-BONE PLEX! Cover, TWO! Rosemary keeps on Kelani with ground ‘n’ pound! Kelani kicks free but Rosemary is having fun now. Rosemary stalks Kelani, and clamps on with a REAR NAKED CHOKE! Kelani fights, pries at the hold, and the fans rally up. Kelani fires elbows, but Rosemary CLUBS her in return. Rosemary rises, brings Kelani around but Kelani ROCKS her first! Rosemary ROCKS Kelani back! Kelani and Rosemary trade shots, but then Kelani blocks a kick, steps over, and WHEEL KICKS! Both men are down and the fans fire up!
Kelani and Rosemary rise, and Kelani gets mad! Kelani runs up to CLOBBER Rosemary! And CLOBBER her again! Handspring and BACK ELBOW! Then a kip up! The fans fire up and Kelani kicks Rosemary low. Kelani hooks her up, but Rosemary slips free! Kelani catches Rosemary, COPMLETE SHOT! Basement DROPKCI! But Rosemary sits right up! Kelani is a bit stunned, she hurries to handspring, but Rosemary SPEARS her! Cover, TWO!! Kelani survives and is gasping for air. Rosemary drags Kelani up, underhooks, but Kelani wrenches out! Rosemary HEADBUTTS first! Kelani goes to a corner, Rosemary blocks a boot, but Kelani STOMPS her down!
Kelani hurries, ONE OF A KIND SAULT! Cover, Kelani wins!
Winner: Kelani Jordan, by pinfall
Emotions were running wild, but Kelani finds the way to win. But now Wendy is laughing from the shadows as her face appears all around the ring. And then Wendy slips in, NIGHT NIGHT CLUTCH!! Rosemary laughs as Wendy squeezes tight, and puts Kelani out like a light! Will Wendy show no mercy when it comes time to fight for the title?
Meta Four regroups backstage.
Oro Mensah is just as upset over what happened out there. But he says hey, he’s here for them. He’ll say what his dad always used to tell him: You only need to be 1% better than last time. And at the end of the day, no one’s betta than Meta! They join hands, but Lexis King has to walk in and say no one wants to hear stuff like that. No one wants sob stories! And these ladies don’t care about Oro’s dad. Oro gets heated but Lexis says calm down. We all know Noam Dar is the daddy of Meta Four anyway. He was quite the father figure to Oro, right? Oro was so upset when Ethan took him out. Oro says how funny, Lexis has a dad bod and dad jokes.
Oro tells Lexis that he is one to talk for someone without a father figure. Lexis SLAPS Oro! The fight is on, but refs rush in! Lash & Jakara say it for the fans, “Let ’em fight!” The two are separated, but has The Drama King once again stuck his foot in his mouth?
Chase U is in session.
Andre Chase says they’re the MOTHER EFFIN’ NXT Tag Team Champions~! The students all cheer, and one guy is even strangling his friend! But Duke Hudson apologizes, he and Riley Osborne didn’t get the job done. Riley says yeah, Axiom & Frazer are just something else. Ridge Holland tells the boys that they fought with honor. Ridge swore he’d never be in another group again, but then Chase U made him feel at home. And he is honored to call them his friends. These titles mean the world to him, he’s never letting these go. No one will take these, he’ll do whatever it takes to keep them. As long as they have these titles, Ridge always has their backs.
Thea Hail says hell yeah! They’ll have the reign to end all reigns! The students cheer that! But in steps #Fraxiom. Frazer isn’t so sure about what Ridge said, but he knows Chase U does in fact welcome everyone. Frazer was once their honorary flagbearer, and he felt that school spirit first hand. But then, he met up with his amigo. They faced each other for title opportunities both here and abroad. And they realized that they made each other better, and that they were better together as a team. Their last run as champs proved that, but they have more running still to do. They #NeverSlowDown, but don’t get them wrong. There isn’t anyone in NXT that doesn’t like Chase U.
But… On Sunday, when Fraxiom takes the titles back, Chase U is going to come crumbling down. A rather ominous promise from the Undeniable Hard-Hitting Truths, but will it all become a reality? Or can Ridge & Mr. Chase keep the university golden?
Malik Blade VS Brooks Jensen!
The back and forth of Malik & Edris going after The Chair Man and then Jensen going after Edris with a chair, this match was bound to happen. Will Malik do his best to slap some sense into Jensen? Or will Jensen continue to follow Shawn Spears’ twisted path?
WHOA, Malik FLIES out onto Jensen! The fans fire up, and Malik RAMS Jensen right into steel steps! Malik throws Jensen into the ring, the ref calls for the bell, and this is finally a match! Malik fires off on Jensen with haymakers and CHOPS! Jensen ELBOWS back, but Malik DROPKICKS him! Jensen tumbles out, Malik runs in, but Jensen DUMPS Malik! Jensen fires hands on Malik, then shoves him at the post! Malik swings around the corner to land on the other side! Malik then ROCKS Jensen, climbs up, and he ROCKS Jensen again. But Jensen pulls the crossbar cover away, then kicks Malik’s legs out! Malik HOTSHOTS off the bare steel!
The ref checks Malik while Jensen tastes blood in his mouth. Jensen snarls, storms in, and he stomps away on Malik! The fans boo but Jensen drops a knee right on Malik’s face! Malik sputters, Jensen drags him up, but Malik fires body shots! Jensen CLUBS Malik, and SWINGING NECKBREAKERS! Cover, TWO! Jensen rains down elbows on Malik, then pie faces him around. Malik fires body shots, ROCKS Jensen, but Jensen throat chops back! Jensen DECKS Malik, then paces around. Jensen clamps onto Malik with a chinlock and he squeezes tight. The fans rally, Malik fights up and fires body shots!
Malik lifts Jensen to slingshot BACKBREAKER! Jensen crawls away, but Malik runs up. Malik fires hands on Jensen, bobs ‘n’ weaves, then ROCKS Jensen again and again! Jensen shoves, swings, but Malik dodges to CLOBBER Jensen! And CLOBBER him again! Malik keeps going, BLOCKBUSTER! The fans fire up for Malik and he hurries up a corner. But Jensen UPPERCUTS first! Jensen climbs, but Malik fires hands! Then BLOCKBUSTER again! Cover, TWO! Jensen survives and Malik grows frustrated. Malik goes up, FROG SPLASH onto knees! Jensen brings Malik up, to DDT! Jensen isn’t done, he goes to a corner!
Jensen skins the cat to the top rope, then blows a kiss goodnight. MACHO ELBOW!! Cover, Jensen wins!
Winner: Brooks Jensen, by pinfall
It wasn’t pretty, but it was a clean win for Jensen. Are the teachings of The Chair Man actually paying off?
Backstage interview with Je’Von Evans.
He gets a bit startled by Sarah, but then remembers they were doing the interview now. Sarah says he has a big match tonight against Joe Coffey, how is he feeling about tonight? Well, he feels aight. But Gallus thinks he can’t wrestle, just because they don’t like his style? Well, little do they know, he can wrestle, and he can throw them hands, too! And they’re gonna find that out right now, mate! The Young OG heads out, but will he be able to get bouncy~? Or will The Iron King give him a Glasgow Sendoff to remember?
Hank ‘n’ Tank talk backstage.
They watch their latest video back, and feel it is their best one yet. And the chicken parmesan was the best. Whatever cutlet Uncle Rocko provided Stacks, it was off the charts! Fill Up The Tank with Hungry Hank is doing phenomenal! And now with this weekend, their No Mercy watch-along, that’s more content! And it is a stacked show, too! Does Tank believe in Joe Hendry? Oh, Hank, two words: CLAP CLAP! But anyway, just promise Tank now that they will never, ever end up like MSK. No, of course not! But wait, here comes OTM. Nima & Price say if we’re talking No Mercy, you gotta talk about how Jaida is taking that title.
Well, not that Hank ‘n’ Tank know anything about that. Oh, what’re they talking about? Last we saw, Hank ‘n’ Tank were able to HONK HONK their way to a win over The Good Brothers! Nima says they checked that box, too. These two ain’t hungry for the gold like OTM. Just hungry for BBQ. Hank ‘n’ Tank sarcastically laugh, but then Hank says what they’re hungry for is a hoss fight! And uh, OTM ain’t got no gold either! Nima promises that when OTM eliminates Hank ‘n’ Tank, they’ll get that shot. OTM heads out, Tank says sabes que, those guys suck. Who will win out next week in the wake of No Mercy?
Je’Von Evans VS Joe Coffey w/ Gallus!
The Young OG caught the attention of Gallus just because he was sitting near the Heritage Cup. Will he show them that style is style and they don’t have any? Or will Joe see how bouncy~ Je’Von is by dribbling him out of the ring?
The bell rings and the two circle. They feel things out, then tie up. Coffey cravats for a neck wrench, then snapmares, but Evans is right up. Coffey runs Evans over, wrenches his arm, then grinds him down. The fans boo but Coffey grinds and wrenches Evans again. Coffey wrangles Evans, Evans kips up, but Coffey wrangles him right back down! The fans rally, Evans endures the wristlock, and he kips up again! Evans then arm-drags free, storms up and headlocks. Coffey powers up and out, RUNS Evans over, then runs. Evans drops, hurdles, but Coffey catches him! Evans manages to sunset flip it! TWO!!
Evans runs up, Coffey blocks a kick and flips him! Evans lands on his feet, runs, RANAS, and the fans fire up! Evans runs and brings Coffey around, BOUNCY RANA off the ropes! The fans fire up, Gallus is upset, but Coffey runs in! Evans dodges, runs in, but is put on the apron. Evans ROCKS Coffey, then he FLYING LARIATS Wolfgang down!

Evans goes for Joe Coffey, brings him up, but Coffey fires body shots! Coffey then brings Evans to ropes, but Evans stops the hotshot! Evans ELBOWS Coffey, runs up, but into a POP-UP UPPERCUT! Evans goes to a corner, Coffey is right on him with body shots and haymakers! The ref counts, Coffey stomps Evans then backs off to soak up heat. Evans CHOPS Coffey! And CHOPS again! Coffey kicks, UPPERCUTS, and then puts Evans in the corner. Coffey whips Evans back in again and again! Then he scoops for a BACKBREAKER! Coffey steps on Evans, then goes up and up to VADER BOMB!

Winner: Joe Coffey, by pinfall
They might as well say Gallus won this match because it was 3v1 by the end there! Will The Young OG ever get respect? Or will it always be Gallus Boys On Top?
Tony D’Angelo walks into the restaurant.
The manager apologizes to The Don but he asks what’s going on. He took Tony’s room! Wait, they said this was an emergency. Who took his room? Tony hurries over, and surprise! It’s the North American Champion, Oba Femi! The Don walks over to his table, and sits with The Ruler. Is this how Oba wants to handle things? He’s got balls. When you’re powerful and mean, you can walk in any place and make someone do something they don’t want. That’s Tony’s kind of guy. Oba sips his wine, and says he doesn’t need Tony’s compliments. Tony is The Don, he exists in this world where he is the most important and powerful man.
But Oba? He is the RULER of NXT, so he does not need acceptance. And he does not accept Tony’s disrespect. Well, that’s where they’re alike. Tony doesn’t take that, either. You don’t think Tony got the message when Oba interrupted him a couple times? You don’t think Tony’s getting the message of Oba coming into Tony’s place? But let’s get to the point: They can come in here, talk this out like men, or they can keep running around and- Oba stands up. Oba says he could lay waste to Tony and all his men. But he doesn’t need to. He can wait for Sunday. Tony stands, and tells Oba that this was inevitable: The Don VS The Ruler.
And Tony will give Oba his due. Oba’s had a hell of a run. But at No mercy, just like last week, Tony shows everyone that Oba is mortal. Oba says many have tried, none succeeded. And Tony will be no different. Oba takes his leave, but will he be leaving Denver still holding gold?
Joe Hendry heads to the ring!
The fans sing along with his song, and the mic and guitar are already waiting in the ring. The fans wave their hands from side to side, and Hendry picks up the guitar before taking a seat. Hendry says he just wants to thank the fans for choosing to spend their evening with him. As they know, he has a career defining opportunity when he challenges Ethan Page for THE NXT Championship this Sunday at No Mercy. And really, he just cannot thank them enough for the support he has given Joe Hendry. To show his appreciation, he has written another song. It is about our “beloved” champion, Ethan Page
So if you’ll indulge him, feel free to sing along. Hendry strums the guitar and says, “Ethan is the champ. And I’m afraid to say… I don’t want to show you how he stays in shape.” Chubby Ethan is put on the tron! “There’s costumes in his bedroom. There’s figures on the shelves. But he gets most excited when he’s playing with himself.” Karate Man!? “And now Joe wins the title, because we’ve had enough. Ethan likes to work out dressing up. Ethan Sucks! Believe in Joe! Ethan, put on some clothes. Ethan Sucks! Believe in Joe! Ethan, put on some clothes.” The fans sing along while we watch Bowser Ethan pump iron.
“Ethan Sucks! Believe in Joe! Ethan, put on some clothes. Ethan Sucks! Believe in Joe! Ethan, put on some clothes.” But then Ethan has to ruin the finale, and he tells refs to hold on, it is fine. Singalong time is done, okay? Ethan asks Hendry if he thinks he’s gonna put up a bunch of photos that are out of context and embarrass the champion? The fans still sing, “Ethan Sucks! Believe in Joe! Ethan, put on some clothes.” Ethan frowns as he steps into the ring, and he tells Hendry to ignore the fans to listen to him. Ethan IS NXT Champion, who the hell does Hendry think he is? He’s trying to embarrass Ethan just to entertain these people? Is that it!?
Ethan says no matter what the fans are singing or doing, Hendry is NOT an NXT Superstar. But Ethan is. He is the CHAMPION of this company! And he knows what is best for the people, even though they’re singing a really obnoxious song. But what is best for the people is keeping Hendry out of NXT, and away from the title. So this Sunday, Ethan promises- Wait, here comes Ava! She tells Ethan he should be flattered that Hendry wrote a special song about him. It was so kind. But in all seriousness, remember how she said she had some business to sort out? Well, it is all finaliezd.
Because of Ethan’s blatant disrespect to NXT officials, the title defense at No mercy will now have a special guest referee!! And guess what? He’s here right now! Ladies and gentlemen, Ava introduces the man himself: TRICK WILLIAMS! The fans love it, and they chant “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” Referee Trick Willy high-fives Ava while Ethan is losing his mind! Then Ethan takes a swing on Hendry! Hendry dodges, choke grips Ethan, STANDING OVATION CHOKE SLAM! Trick says go for it! Hendry pins Ethan, Trick counts it, and we get the 1-2-3!! The fans cheer as Hendry waves the belt from side to side! Will Trick have a hand in helping Hendry dethrone Ethan?
But while Hendry and Trick are standing tall, Dunne is watching from gorilla. He tells Trick through the camera to consider himself lucky. But Dunne doesn’t think Trick even makes it to next Tuesday. Is The Bruiserweight going to take advantage of Trick being distracted on Sunday? Or will Trick still #FigureItOut?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home NXT right here, and just as packed as any other episode. Nice walk ‘n’ talk promos to segue into the opening match. It was a little scary when Fallon was being checked offscreen, Jakara did come in hot with that tope, and I’m a little surprised Jakara didn’t rattle herself, she almost hit the ground face first. But Fallon finished out the match, Fatal Influence won out, and I definitely still think Jakara & Lash need to find a third lady to remove Jazmyn as a factor. Good segment later with Lexis starting things with Oro, all based on their relationships with their fathers being the opposites of each other. That’ll be a really good match that probably goes Lexis’ way cuz he’ll cheat.
Eddy is also moving on from Lexis as Ashante again starts a story based on getting with the ladies. But that was also a rly clever way to give us Jensen going after Edris with the infamous white chair. Very good match from Jensen and Malik to follow it up, and good win for Jensen without needing any cheats. I still think there should be a tag match to follow this, maybe give Briggs the opening to return and even bring in a wrestler from Pro-Wrestling Noah as a tag partner to help him fight Jensen & Spears.
Good match from Karmen and Izzi, great win for Karmen, but I have a feeling Izzi will demand a rematch, the winner building themselves up towards a title match. Great stuff with Wendy bringing in Rosemary to go after Kelani, but sadly that just means Rosemary was fed to Kelani. Wendy of course takes Kelani out, though, so that the go-home math for their title match still favors Kelani. Great promo with Roxie and Jaida, with a very clever burn from Roxie and a great slap across the face from Jaida. And while it was a rather cheesy tease, they’re clearly planting seeds for the debut of one of the big three signings we’ve heard about. So while go home math says Roxie retains, her moment is already ruined because she knows either Stephanie Vaquer, Giulia or Delta is waiting to pounce.
Great video package and then great face-to-face promo for Wes and Zach. Those were some very good counterpoints from Zach, showing it isn’t all his fault that the group fell apart. Their match will be a show stealer for sure, but hard to say who wins out. It’d be the more surprising result if Zach won, and then perhaps Wes was compelled to chase Zach and go after him in TNA to return the favor, winning on a big TNA PPV. Then they can make the tiebreaker be at a big crossover show, as there were rumors of Worlds Collide being about NXT & TNA this year. And of course, Trey Miguel should factor into it all at some point, and more than likely him choosing Zach over Wes.
Good promos before the Mixed Six Tag, and a great win for The D’Angelo Family. It certainly builds Stacks & Luca in the tag division and helps Rizzo get going in the women’s division, but I still can’t be sure who wins between Tony and Oba. They had a good promo segment together, though someone showing up at Tony’s favorite restaurant as a way to get on his nerves is feeling a bit overdone. Tony got that spinebuster on Oba last week, and he might get one in the match, but I’d be very surprised if Tony beats Oba without having to resort to his old tricks.
Good promo from Hank ‘n’ Tank to not just plug their social media show but to start beef (no pun intended) with OTM. That’ll be a solid tag match, and it does feel like the winner gets their story with the tag champs for the next stretch. Speaking of, great promo with Chase U and #Fraxiom, but with how Ridge worded his own part, you can bet that for one, he will try to cheat to win, and that won’t sit well with the others. Secondly, if even cheating fails to keep the titles, Ridge is definitely snapping and turning on Chase U. In fact, because of that, I think Fraxiom does win, they feud with Hank ‘n’ Tank, and Ridge feuds with everyone in Chase U.
Good promo from Evans before his match with Coffey, and that’s good stuff to have the de facto main event match. It was a really good match, but of course Coffey wins because he had Gallus with him. I’m sure Cedric Alexander will talk with Evans next week, maybe we get a tag match of them and Gallus, and they could even eventually get Ashante to take things seriously enough so that we get a Six Man Tag. Maybe. Really depends on where things go with him and Eddy Thorpe.
Really good blending of stories orbiting around the NXT Championship. Dunne warns Trick, Ethan tries to goad Ava into suspending him so he doesn’t have to face Hendry yet, and then very good concert from Hendry to poke fun at Ethan’s time in TNA. Good promo with Ethan confronting Hendry and Trick being named special guest ref. However, now that a guest referee is a thing, I have a feeling Ethan is guaranteed to win. Dunne will just take Trick out of the equation, Ethan cheats, a normal ref counts the cover, and as much as fans really like Joe Hendry, we’re definitely not seeing someone not signed to NXT winning the NXT Championship.
My Score: 8.8/10

Jon Moxley & The Death Riders speak.
“Despite recent discoveries that Orange Cassidy is a snake, coldblooded, uncaring, unmoving, a serpent lurking in the darkest corners of the battlefield, my objective remains the same, my job on Saturday night remains the same. You may be this borderline sociopath, you may be a great guy just like everybody thinks. I don’t care if you’re a great guy. I don’t care what kind of person you are. When the bell rings on Saturday night, and the AEW World Championship hangs in the balance, you are a threat to my people. And I will destroy you.
“There’s so much more going on behind Orange Cassidy’s eyes than any of us could’ve imagined. You may make it to Full Gear with your mind in tact, but your body… For that matter, Darby Allin’s body… Still up for grabs.” Claudio jumps in, speaking in German about what he’ll do to Darby. Then in English, he says, “Tonight, I’m gonna end you.” Moxley pats Claudio on the shoulder. Will The Maniac’s top henchmen do his dirty work for him when they dismantle Cassidy & Darby? Or will it just be fuel on the fire for Freshly Squeezed & The Relentless One? Speaking of…
Darby Allin speaks.
“Claudio, I’m gonna keep this really short. Let’s not forget you’re the one who put the chair around Bryan’s neck and pulled the trigger on his career. Every single one of you Death Riders will have your day. And Claudio, today’s your day.” Will Moxley’s men be dealt with in brutal fashion before he suffers the same?
The Hurt Syndicate arrive.
Renee Paquette waits in the parking lot as an SUV pulls up, and she welcomes Montel Vontavious Porter, Shelton Benjamin & Bobby Lashley to the show. She heard MVP has a surprise in store, what’s he got planned? MVP says yes, there is a special treat for the AEW audience, and that is this announcement: The All Mighty Bobby Lashley will be in action here tonight on Dynamite in Reading, Pennsylvania, prior to his PPV debut on Saturday! Renee asks if MVP is at all concerned to put Lashley in a match- OH NO, Swerve attacks!! Swerve knocks Lashley over, then laughs as he gets away!
Shelton helps Lashley up but that ambush might’ve been with Swerve’s own silver chain. Will Lashley elect not to compete tonight after all? Or is he about to make an example out of whatever poor soul is put in front of him?
Adam Cole is here!
Reading fires up as the Panama City Playboy makes his way to the ring. They join in with the “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” Cole grabs a mic to ask, “Who’s ready for Storytime with Adam Cole, Baybay?” Reading sure is ready! Cole wishes so so badly that he could get his hands on MJF this Saturday, but he’s not. MJF did everything in his power to make sure he and Cole didn’t fight on Saturday, and he succeeded. But do you know who else succeeded last week? Roderick Strong did! The fans cheer as Cole says he and Roddy have the exact same goal: Give MJF the ass whooping of a lifetime! And that is exactly what happens at Full Gear!
The fans cheer, and wait, Kyle O’Reilly makes his way out here. The longtime friend of Cole & Roddy makes his way out here, and already has a mic. Kyle isn’t sure if Cole remembers, but 14 years ago, right here in Reading, PA, Cole and Kyle had their second match ever against each other. They’ve come a long way. Being associated with Cole has given Kyle some incredible highs, and some serious lows. And through those lows, Kyle knows Cole better than anyone. Which makes Kyle the only one willing to tell Cole the truth. The truth is, this crusade against MJF has got to end before someone gets hurt.
This obsession, Cole needs to wash his hands of it. His ankle has already been reconstructed, what’s next? Cole has friends willing to take a bullet for him, Kyle included, but Cole has got to stop having his friends fight his battles. Roddy barely makes it out alive last week, and now he wants to fight MJF! He wants to END MJF, all because of Cole. Kyle just doesn’t have a good feeling about any of this. Cole asks Kyle what he’s trying to say here. Kyle doesn’t think Roddy can handle MJF? Kyle asks Cole if he really thinks MJF isn’t already three steps ahead. MJF hasn’t been here for weeks but he’s pulling all the strings.
Cole should know that dealing with MJF is like playing with fire, and Kyle doesn’t wanna see his friends get burned. Cole needs to realize why so many of his friends are willing to go to war for him, and it’s because he is a great leader, an elite pro-wrestler, and a great friend, who doesn’t wanna see his friends get hurt. At least, so Kyle thinks. But Cole has to face facts: MJF is more of an evil bastard than Cole will ever be, and that is a good thing. Kyle drops his mic and walks away. Cole drops his mic, and has a lot to think about. Does Kyle have a point? Can Cole just let Roddy handle MJF and then move on?
Orange Cassidy speaks.
“A little later tonight, I’m gonna make an example out of you, Wheeler Yuta. And I’m gonna show everybody exactly what I’m gonna do this Saturday to you, Jon Moxley. And that’s walk down to that ring and beat you, alone.” But The Conglomeration steps in. Mark Briscoe has Rocky Romero & Tomohiro Ishii with him as he asks Cassidy, “What sense does that make, man?” Moxley said himself, there’s five Death Riders, one Cassidy. Conglomeration has his back, they are here for him. Cassidy says no, no one else needs to get hurt. Get hurt? What’s Cassidy talking about? The Conglomeration are ready to scrap!
PLEASE!! Cassidy is asking them… They don’t have to believe him or even understand him. But just promises him they’ll stay back here. If Cassidy insists, then so be it. Cassidy says there you have it, Jon. Five of you, one of him. Do what you’re gonna do. Because at Full Gear, Moxley’s gonna need all the help he can get. Cassidy is himself wanting the best for his friends, but will that work out for the betterment of AEW? Or is he just playing into Moxley’s hands?

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Shida gave Kris a powerful match, but clearly Shida has to iron out her own crisis of confidence. Kris still shows Shida respect by helping her up. But wait, here comes Mercedes Mone & Kamille! The fans boo The CEO & Brickhouse but Mone has a mic. “Readiiiiing~! Say hello to your C E O!” The fans boo instead. Mone asks Kamille if she wants to hear a fun fact about Pennsylvania. The 76ers have had yet another terrible season! Embarrassing~! But shoutouts to Mone’s Celtics for another incredible victory. The fans boo Boston but Mone says another person with an incredible win was Kris Statlander. Mone is rarely impressed by her competition.
Does anyone else want to hear another fun fact? “NO!!” Well, Mone has held the TBS Championship longer than Kris! So at Full Gear, Mone will NOT lose, because she is The CEO, the greatest TBS Champion of all time! And she will NEVER lose this title! Fans tell The CEO to STFU, but Mone tells Kamille go get the job done! She is so pissed off! GO! NOW! Kamille walks up the steps past Mone, but with only one good arm!

The Hurt Syndicate has a cameraman with them.
MVP says hold on, he and Shelton have found Swerve. They go after the man in the big fur jacket, but that’s not Swerve! Swerve gave his jacket to the guy, but MVP & Shelton still beat this guy up for helping Swerve. MVP says they’ll find Swerve later, Lashley has his match up next. And it’ll be a 2-on-1 Handicap?! The All Mighty really IS mad, what poor duo is about to be destroyed?
AEW hears from Jay White and Hangman Adam Page.
“Hangman. You and I are on that same path to that same destination, trying to grasp at that same prize. 2024 still has some time left for The Switchblade to share the spotlight with Hangman once more!” But the Blackhat Cowboy asks White if he knows “Who the hell I am?! I am the Hangman! I am THE man! They named this whole godforsaken PPV after ME!” White says when he makes Hangman TAP, it will be a public declaration! But Hangman says White can’t make him tap, even if his life depended on it! These two vicious gunslingers will write one more chapter in their storied rivalry, but who comes out riding off into the sunset?
2v1 Handicap: Bobby Lashley w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Joe Keys & Cheeseburger!
The All Mighty thought he’d have an easy night getting in a little warm-up, but The Realest quickly reminded him why he’s the most dangerous man in AEW! Lashley’s now doubling down to make a point, will there be nothing left of Keys & Cheese after tonight?

The fans are thunderous as Swerve stands over Lashley! MVP & Shelton get up and get in, but Swerve escapes, chain draped on his neck! Will AEW then, now and forever be whose house? “SWERVE’S HOUSE!”
Backstage interview with Mariah May & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee is now with the AEW Women’s World Champion and her best friend, the Rev-Pro Undisputed British Women’s Champion. They are planning their Championship Champagne Celebration for Full Gear, BUT Friday Night Rampage will feature the two of them teaming up for the first time in just over a year. Mariah says no champion deserves a celebration more than her. Her rise to the top was meteoric, and her reign will be historic. She takes ish and makes it shine, any time and any show, against anyone. In Mariah’s division, you hold this title, or you die.
Mina says yes, Mariah has been working so hard. She came back to tell her she is so very proud. And Mina will give Mariah a celebration she’ll never forget! Mariah says the “H Cup Angel” (Mina) and the “Woman from Hell” (Mariah herself) are going to make Rampage into Glampage. Everyone wants Mina, but Mina wants Mariah. And then… They’ll dance! These two shimmy and shake their way out, will they finally be toasting their victories at Full Gear?

Darby truly is relentless, with durability like no other, but it just wasn’t enough against the strength and brutality of Claudio! Will no one stop The Death Riders from running roughshod over AEW?
Backstage interview with Private Party.
Renee is with Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy and brings up that at Full Gear, the AEW World Tag Team Championships are on the line in a Fatal 4 Way. Private Party takes on The Acclaimed, The Outrunners and The Kings of the Black Throne. In such a match, the champs do NOT have to be pinned or submitted to lose their titles, so what is their strategy? Brother Zay says they obviously can’t tell her that, the other teams are watching. But it seems like the odds are against them. Fortunately, the odds have been against them their whole lives, their whole careers, just like against The Young Bucks.
But look what happened: Private Party defied the odds, beat The Bucks, and are your AEW World Tag Team Champions. That is the same thing that happens on Saturday. They leave Newark, New Jersey still your tag team champions. Because there ain’t no party like a Private Party, that’s a flex. Oh, speaking of! It’s AJ & Big Justice! They’re fired up to be here, but Justice wants to know what that face Zay made was last week. Oh, right, this one, with the chin scratching. And AJ says they’ve got a BIG announcement coming up after this! Maybe some double chunk chocolate cookies? BOOM!!
A green Porsche Taycan pulls up to the middle of nowhere.
And out steps MJF. The Wolf of Wrestling tells the hobo to “go get it” as he throws spare change off to the side like birdseed. MVP then sits back and tells Roderick Strong, “You’ve been through so much. The kid who grew up trailer park trash with two abusive alcoholic parents. For crying out loud! Your own mother shot your father right in front of you. That’s traumatizing. And as you know, Roddy, trauma is the result of an overwhelming sense of danger, powerlessness and fear. However, healing is a result of feeling safe, empowered and supported. That’s why you’d do anything for Cole. He makes you feel all those positive things that you lacked.
“It’s why I was no different than you. It’s why I trusted him. Unfortunately, the difference between you and I: Cole for me was a mirage of what I wanted him to be. A fraud, a liar. And whilst Cole is a fraud, I do actually believe deep down, in his narcissistic, sociopathic, frail, feeble frame, is a man who cares about Roderick Strong. This is precisely why upon further contemplation, I am happy you won, Roddy. Because I want Adam Cole to watch a person he cares about suffer! And because of your White trash upbringing, you aren’t intelligent enough to realize that you don’t have a prayer. And I’m sending you back to where you belong. To your grimy little trailer park.
“And after the match, you’ll be in so much physical anguish, you’ll wish your mother hadn’t shot your father, but instead shot you.” As if this scumbag couldn’t stoop any lower, he brings up Roddy’s past to hurt him. But will Roddy make sure MJF’s future is the one full of pain and suffering?
Backstage interview with AJ & Big Justice.
Renee is with the Costco Tiktok sensations and says that in the Full Gear Zero Hour, we will see #BigBoomAJ take on QT Marshall in a match 20 YEARS in the making. AJ says it may have been 20 years in the making for QT, this all started for AJ when QT threw the double chunk chocolate cookies down! Renee says AJ has not been in the ring in those 20 years, is he concerned about how his body will hold up? AJ isn’t worried about that, because he just has one strategy, and that’s the strategy they use each and every day. That strategy is to bring the BOOM~! But hey, there’s another special announcement.
Because when AJ rings QT’s bell, and he Power-Booms QT right in the middle of that ring, there is only one guy they want ringing the bell: Big Justice’s best friend, THE RIZZLER! Time to bring the BOOM~! Will QT be sleeping on the mat for The Rizzler? Will he be skibidi? Fanum Tax? Why are those even words?
Tony Schiavone is on stage.
And he welcomes out The Undisputed Kingdom! The fans cheer as Roderick Strong makes his way out, accompanied by Matt Taven & Mike Bennett. Schiavone brings up Roddy VS MJF at Full Gear, and we just heard all that disgusting stuff MJF had to say. Roddy’s response is that to be honest, he has not slept a wink since last week. IT is finally happening! Roddy feels like a kid on Christmas morning. He finally gets his hands on “MAAAAAX~!” The fans echo that, and Roddy says if MJF was here tonight, and not hiding out there, Roddy would ask him: Is Roddy supposed to be ashamed of his childhood?
Is Roddy supposed to be ashamed of his parents? You don’t think Roddy’s heard that stuff before? His whole LIFE, that is what people brought up! His mom’s an addict, his dad’s an addict, mom shot dad. Good job, Max, you made Roddy feel like he was in elementary school again. And people may look at Roddy’s past and feel sorry for him, but Roddy asks us not to. Because looking at MJF, Roddy feels sorry for him. Understand this, Max. With Roddy’s life, he learned that to get the most out of life, you have to earn it. If you wanna break the cycle, you have to earn it. And that is what Roddy’s done ever since he was a kid!
And now looking at MJF, he’s been spoon-fed everything. And when something doesn’t go his way or something happens and he doesn’t like it, MJF throws a temper tantrum like a baby until that changes. So Roddy wants MJF to do something for him: Look in the mirror and think about all the things that MJF has done to people. The manipulating, the backstabbing, the using. MJF needs to realize, when the bell rings at Full Gear, MJF will pay for all those sins. With every chop, with every punch, with every elbow, with every backbreaker! And when it is all over, Roddy walks to his hotel room for the best night of sleep in his life because he earned it.
Especially because Roddy will know he has broken MJF’s back, and left him humbled! Roddy is all fired up, and the fans are with him! Will MJF finally get what’s coming to him? Or will he give Roddy nightmares for the rest of his life?
AEW shares footage taken from last Saturday night.
First, a recap video of Daniel Garcia thwarting Jack Perry’s attempts to abduct and torture Matthew Menard, as well as the joyride they took in the Scapegoat bus, with Perry as the hood ornament. And now, they have Perry strapped into a chair, the bus headlights as the only source of light. Menard is behind the camera as he asks Perry how he’s feeling. How’d that work out for him, huh? Garcia splashes Perry with water to wake him up, and says “Let’s have a conversation. I’m all ears.” Perry chuckles and says Garcia thinks he’s so much better than him. Look at where they are! Garcia shouts back that he doesn’t wanna be here!
Garcia just wants to wrestle, but AEW is full of savages! Perry tried to take Daddy Magic’s life! And those in power just sit back and watch, pretending that nothing’s going on. So what do they do? Gotta take the power back, right? Perry counters with, “Everybody’s got a code. Everybody cares about right and wrong until it costs them something. Until they have to SACRIFICE!” Garcia gets in Perry’s face, grabs him by the mouth, and says Perry’s always going on about sacrifice but Perry has no idea what Garcia’s had to go through! Perry has NO idea what Garcia’s had to sacrifice to be here!
Garcia knows where Perry wants him to go, but Garcia promises that he’s never gonna go there. Perry smirks, then SPITS in Garcia’s face. Garcia wipes that off his face and says bet. Garcia’s got something for Perry, so just wait right there. Garcia goes to the bus while Perry mockingly asks what he’s gonna do. Menard tells shut up, Jack! Life must be so hard for him! What’s Jack got to be sad about?! Garcia comes back and he has a crowbar! Perry dares him to go ahead. Garcia raises the bar, but he SMASHES up the bus! Garcia throws the crowbar away and Perry laughs. Is that it? Garcia tells Menard they’ll get out of here. What? Where’s Garcia going?
Perry says yeah, walk away. Menard tells Perry that Garcia’s gonna whoop his ass! Just wait! Menard leaves, Perry shouts into the night, but will The Face of TNT soon be the one sacrificed for the greater good?
Renee Paquette presides over the ROH World Championship contract signing.
She welcomes us backstage to the signing for this match, which will happen next week, Dynamite: Thanksgiving Eve, in Chicago. The challenger, Tomohiro Ishii, is on her left, and the champion, Chris Jericho, is on her right. Jericho, as champion, you have the honors to sign first. Jericho smiles and waves as he says, “Hi, guys.” But Renee, you should know better. A champion of Jericho’s caliber does not just sign a contract thrust at his face randomly. He has a whole legal team that needs to approve this contract. Renee says it was sent to said legal team last week. Oh, really? What about today? The now! Jericho lives in the now!
Jericho says he’ll get this checked by his legal eagles one more time. But for now, wait here. Choto matte kudesai. Jericho steps around the corner and then down the hall. He smiles at his own picture on the wall. What a good looking guy. But wait, Ishii has followed Jericho to the hall. Jericho is a bit worried as he keeps moving. Jericho tries to block Ishii’s path but a trash can isn’t enough. Jericho tells staffers that Ishii wants to talk to them. They step in the way but Ishii pushes them aside. Jericho moves faster, pushes more people in the way, but Ishii pushes them aside. Was that RJ City?
Jericho goes up some stairs but Ishii follows. Ishii’s even gaining ground! Jericho goes through a doorway and ends up in the concourse! Fans cheer as Jericho and Ishii keep up their cat ‘n’ mouse game. Jericho decides to go into the stands! Ishii follows, and they head down the bleachers towards ringside! Jericho hurries over railing but so does Ishii. They go into the ring, and now Jericho tells Ishii to stop following him! Jericho wants a mic, a mic is brought, and Jericho says hey, listen, Ishii. Jericho would sign this contract, but he doesn’t have a pen. Ishii has a pen! Oh. Ishii clicks it for Jericho, and pushes it into him.
Jericho takes the pen, looks at the contract again, and still hesitates. Jericho signs his part, and then hands things over to Ishii. But then BRYAN KEITH & BIG BILL ATTACK! It was all a massive set-up! Bad Apple & Redwood beat down Stone Pitbull, and then sit him up! Jericho has the pen ready, but here comes The Conglomeration! Mark Briscoe & Rocky Romero rush in, and Mark TACKLES Jericho! Rocky fires off on Bill while Mark CHOKES Jericho! Keith saves Jericho from Mark but Mark fires hands on Keith! The fans fire up, but then Bill SKYSCRAPER- NO, Mark UPPERCUTS Bill first! Rocky adds on!
The fans fire up as The Conglomeration pinballs Bill, and then Ishii CLOBBERS him! Bill tumbles out, but Rocky DIVES! Bill is sent into railing! Keith stands up, into a kick and underhooks! JAY DRILLER! Jericho stands up, Ishii has him, and hits a BRAINBUSTER!! Conglomeration stands tall over The Learning Tree and his Branches, and now Ishii signs his part! The match is now official, and Ishii is looking to take a bite out of Jericho! Will The Conglomeration have the ROH World Championship to be thankful for this year?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.
Renee is with the former AEW Women’s World Champion and notes that last time, we were going to hear from her, only for her to be interrupted by Julia Hart. What is Hayter’s reaction to that? Well, yeah, she isn’t angry, but she is baffled why Julia chose to interrupt Hayter. They’ve never really spoken or interacted, or even wrestled each other. Hayter is just curious as to why Julia felt it was okay to do that. Granted, Julia can do whatever she wants, Hayter moves to the beat of her own drum just as much as Julia. But… if Julia wants to have a chat-
Uh oh, something is happening to the video! Brody King’s message echoes, “It’s time to come home.” Julia Hart walks through the woods. Brody says The House is her foundation. She has seen her rebirth. Now it is time to rebuild. She has woken up stronger, more determined, and more dangerous than ever. Julia aims her arrow to shoot down a target: her past self. Her obstacles are just bull’s eyes. She is the Princess of the Black Throne, and the Keeper of Secrets. She is Julia Hart, and her heart grows harder. She hits her mark, but will she find Hayter Hits Hard?
Orange Cassidy VS Wheeler Yuta!
Freshly Squeezed has been accused of being coldblooded and uncaring, but he got pretty heated as he told The Conglomeration to keep themselves safe tonight. He goes 1v1 with The Decoder, a young man who was once Cassidy’s student, and who left him behind to join the then Blackpool Combat Club. If anyone is uncaring, it is Yuta with how he would then follow Jon Moxley’s lead in the destruction of Bryan Danielson and Chuck Taylor. Who will be the more ferocious fighter tonight, this close to Full Gear?
The bell rings and Yuta SHOTGUNS Cassidy! Yuta follows Cassidy to a corner to CHOP, then ROCK, then CHOP again! Yuta whips corner to corner but Cassidy goes up and out. Cassidy bumps Yuta off buckles, climbs up top, but has to leap over. Yuta comes back but Cassidy catches him to a backslide! TWO, but Cassidy reels Yuta in for a cradle! TWO! Yuta pulls on an ear! But Cassidy arm-drags and wrangles Yuta into the SEATBELT! TWO!! Yuta escapes and the fans fire up as these two stand off. Yuta huffs ‘n’ puffs, but Cassidy shows he wants a grapple. They feel things out, knuckle lock, but Cassidy blocks a kick!
Cassidy reels Yuta in for a headlock, but Yuta powers up and out. Cassidy ducks ‘n’ rolls, tilt-o-whirls, but Yuta suplexes! Into STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Yuta tumbles out and fans fire up! Cassidy builds speed to DIVE! Down goes Yuta and the fans fire up again! Cassidy brings Yuta up, whips, but Yuta reverses to reel Cassidy in! Cassidy fights the suplex, but then Yuta fights a suplex. Yuta suplexes, to RAILING BRAINBUSTER!! Cassidy writhes and fans are stunned! Yuta stomps Cassidy, then leaves him behind for the ring count. Cassidy crawls into the ring, Yuta exposes a crossbar, and then he GRINDS Cassidy’s face into the steel!
The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Yuta steps off at 4. Cassidy seethes as he rises up, but Yuta has him at the corner. Cassidy kicks Yuta’s legs out and Yuta falls onto a turnbuckle! Yuta falls back, Cassidy climbs, but Yuta grabs Cassidy first! Yuta drags Cassidy down but Cassidy fires hands. Yuta squeezes the facelock tight, then hits an APRON DDT! The fans boo Yuta while Cassidy writhes, and Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Cassidy clutches his neck while Yuta waits in the ring. A ring count starts and Yuta eggs Cassidy on. Cassidy reaches up as the count reaches 5 of 10, but he doesn’t sit up until 6. Cassidy hobbles up, stumbles and falls, but springs back to life! He slides in at 9! Only for Yuta to be right on him! Yuta reels Cassidy in, but Cassidy turns that into BEACH BREAK! Cover, TWO!! Yuta survives but Cassidy is too sore to be frustrated. They both sit up, and Yuta crawls his way over to a corner. Cassidy rises, checks his neck, then runs up, but into an ELBOW! Yuta goes up, but Cassidy JUMP FOREARMS! Cassidy positions Yuta just right before he climbs the corner.
Yuta resists but Cassidy still brings Yuta up. Yuta continues to fight the suplex, throws body shots, then shoves Cassidy down. Cassidy rolls back to his feet, runs back up the corner, but Yuta again fights the suplex! Cassidy fires hands, but Yuta fires back! They brawl up top, Cassidy HEADBUTTS Yuta! But Yuta HEADBUTTS back! They both wobble, but then Cassidy BITES Yuta! The ref reprimands, but Cassidy CLAWS Yuta’s back! This is very Moxley of him to do! And then Cassidy hits the SUPERPLEX! Both men are down and the ref checks. They’re both okay to continue, so a standing count begins!
Cassidy sits up, spots Yuta, and heads that way. Yuta sits up, they fire forearms as they stand! Dynamite returns to single picture as these shots go back and forth. The fans fire up for Cassidy but boo Yuta as the shots go faster and faster! Yuta BITES Cassidy’s forehead! Yuta spits then runs, but Cassidy dodges! BODY BLOW! SUPERKICK! Yuta sits down, Cassidy runs, PENALTY KICK! Cassidy slashes his throat, hauls Yuta up, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Yuta survives but Cassidy seethes. Cassidy rains down fists on Yuta! The ref reprimands about closed fists and hair pulling, but Cassidy doesn’t stop until the ref counts 4.

The fans boo while Yuta seethes and stands over Cassidy. Yuta sits Cassidy up, for HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! But Cassidy blocks one! And bends fingers, to then SNAP them! The fans fire up as Cassidy SNAPS finger after finger! Yuta swings, Cassidy BOOTS him, then serves up SOLE FOOD! Scoop and MICHINOKU DRIVER! Cover, TWO!!

Yuta holds on, the ref counts, and Yuta finally lets go at 4!
The ref reprimands Yuta, but Yuta pushes past the ref to go outside the ring. Yuta grabs a chair! Yuta storms into the ring while the fans boo, and the ref says don’t do it! Cassidy dodges the chair shot! Victory roll, CASSIDY WINS!!
Winner: Orange Cassidy, by pinfall
Yuta is in disbelief! Cassidy beat him with a technical move! Yuta snarls but the ref keeps him back. Cassidy did what he promised in beating Yuta, but then he stares his former student down. Is Cassidy going to offer a handshake? WAIT, PAC ATTACKS! The Bastard BOOTS Cassidy down so we’ll never know what Cassidy was going to do! The fans boo more but Pac & Yuta stand on Cassidy. The rest of the Death Riders appear, and Marina Shafir has duct tape! The AEW World Trios Champions stomp away on Cassidy, like vultures picking the bones. Moxley steps into the ring while Marina hands the tape over to Pac.
Claudio puts Cassidy’s hands in his pockets, and then Pac tapes them in! Cassidy is physically bound, and Moxley paces around. Cassidy is pushed around by all the Death Riders, then Moxley DECKS him! Claudio hauls Cassidy back up, the Death Riders keep bullying him, and then Moxley SLAPS Cassidy down! But the bullying continues as they stand Cassidy up. Cassidy “kicks” Moxley! Defiant to the end! But Moxley DECKS him again! Moxley paces around more, then stomps Cassidy right on the face! Moxley leads The Death Riders away, and The Conglomeration finally comes out here.
Mark has scissors to cut Cassidy loose, and the fans boo as The Death Riders still retreat. Cassidy tries to stand up, but he has to use ropes to do it. Even so, Cassidy stands on his own two feet. Moxley eggs on the fans while Cassidy puts his sunglasses on. And then hands up, and then into the pockets! Try as they might, The Death Riders could not break the Freshly Squeezed fighting spirit! Will Cassidy finally become AEW World Champion? Or will Moxley find a way to break Cassidy at Full Gear?
My Thoughts:
A great go-home Dynamite here, though it felt like it contracted Go Home Syndrome. A lot of recap and other promos, but good promos all the same. Good follow-up from last week with Hayter and Hart, that will probably really get going after Full Gear. Good promo from Mariah & Mina to hype up their celebration segment for Full Gear, and with Toni Storm’s announcement of her retirement, you can bet Toni is anything but retired! Toni Storm most assuredly will return very soon, maybe even to ruin the celebration and spark another feud. I still want us to get to Mariah VS Mina but maybe Storm moves things back so that Mariah VS Mina happens in 2025.
Good promo from Private Party to also have AJ & Big Justice show up. The promos didn’t really add much to any of the matches, though. I’m very sure AJ does hit the BOOM on QT to win, and then Private Party finds a way to survive the Fatal 4. Great stuff with Perry, Garcia and Menard, that was another very action movie kind of promo, maybe even like that grittier Batman movie. But with Garcia not sinking to the same lows as Perry, that will be why Garcia loses. Honestly, why not just have Perry blatantly get himself disqualified? What great heat for Perry while keeping Garcia strong in not becoming TNT Champion.
Great promos in this MJF story. I appreciate Cole throwing his support behind Roddy was good, as well as Kyle O’Reilly wanting Cole to just leave it at this. MJF of course insults Roddy over his past while also trashing Cole at the same time, but great response from Roddy. Also I’m not a car guy so it took me a little too long to Google out what car MJF was driving. Anyway, given all these promos, I am very confident MJF wins at Full Gear and then Cole still wants after MJF, only for Kyle to have to fight Cole to make him stop. Then we’ll maybe get Cole VS MJF at Worlds End, or even some time in 2025.
Very good stuff with The Hurt Syndicate, even with them getting jumped by Swerve. Poor Cheeseburger, that’s one fan favorite that got fed to Bobby Lashley. But Swerve getting the better of the Hurt Syndicate again and again tonight, all the more reason Lashley wins at Full Gear. Very good promo vignette from White and Hangman to hype up their grudge match, which still feels it could go either way since they’re tied on the year. And Jericho and Ishii had perhaps simultaneously the most clever and most ridiculous contract signing segment ever. And of course Jericho worked out some sort of trap, only for it to go badly for him and his team. But with that, that means Ishii is losing next week, as I figured he would.
Awesome opening match with the 8 Man, and I liked that they had Hobbs do the “fighting through the pain” angle in the match. Also, great bit with Kyle Fletcher sending Davis into harm’s way so that the Callis Family can get the better of Ospreay’s team. I thought the Faces were going to win here, but the math now says Ospreay finds a way to beat Kyle, and maybe Ricochet takes the International Championship from Konosuke Takeshita. The Continental Classic is coming, and they could easily use that round robin to get Konosuke back to a feud with Kazuchika Okada and they battle for the Continental Championship at Worlds End like we should’ve gotten at WrestleDream.
Awesome match from Kris VS Shida, and I appreciate the crisis of confidence for Shida. Kris gets a great win to go into Full Gear, and then Kris and Shida get the better of Mone & Kamille, so all the more reason Mone finds a way to survive. As for Kamille, I feel like she should ditch Mone for being treated like crap by Mone, and maybe we can get a feud of Mone VS Kamille going into 2025. And of course, plenty of promos from Death Riders and “Team AEW” members. Moxley just kinda went on and on about stuff he’s already said in reference to Cassidy, but I did like Claudio going bilingual in talking trash on Darby.
Awesome matches from those stories, of course. Darby really got thrown around but he continues to show that toughness. Claudio getting the win mostly keeps Darby back so that Darby can build towards a world title match at Worlds End. Cassidy VS Yuta was great stuff, too, with great back and forth of Cassidy wanting to end it quick, having to grit it out with Yuta, and then Cassidy still finding a way to end it with a quick pin. And they did a good job muddying the math. Cassidy wins the match, but the Death Riders beat him down, only for Cassidy to literally stand tall at the end of the show. I still don’t see him taking the world title from Moxley, though, with Darby still in the wings, but this could end up Cassidy’s best match yet.
My Score: 8.9/10

The Funky Sauce was hot, but they’re the ones that got burned! Will they be able to spice things up in the second round? Will Takagi & Tsuji keep the tag league tranquilo?
World Tag League 2024 A Block: Bishamon VS KENTA & Chase Owens!
Hirooki Goto & Yoshi-Hashi once again clash with The Fang & The Jewel, both sides hungry for gold. Will it be Lights Out in the opening round? Or will someone just #Go2Sleep?
The teams sort out but then Bullet Club just attacks! Chase is after Goto and Kenta is after Hashi, and they put each man in corners. The bell rings to get this on record as Kenta TOSSES Hashi. Chase CHOKES Goto in the corner, then stands on him! The ref reprimands and Chase lets off to bring Goto up. Chase ROCKS Goto, whips him, and Kenta POSTS Hashi! Chase hits a big hip toss then covers, TWO! The fans rally up while Chase stomps Goto’s leg. Chase scrapes his sole off Goto’s face, and Kenta whips Hashi again.

The fans cheer and Bishamon flexes. Goto then goes back to Chase to stomp and CLUB him down. Goto kicks Chase, Chase shoves Goto and ROCKS him with a forearm! Goto knees Chase low, runs, but Chase TOSSES Goto out! Goto hurries back up, he counter punches Chase, and then counter punches Kenta! Chase slips out to YANK Goto down and THROW him into railing! Kenta intercepts Hashi with a kick!
Kenta whips Hashi away into railing while Chase sends Goto into other railing! The ref reprimands but Chase brings Goto through the gate. Chase has fans move out of the way, but then brings Goto back to ringside. Chase grins as he trolls the fans and pushes Goto into the ring. Kenta CLUBS away on Hashi before leaving him behind. Chase pulls on Goto’s arms then TWEAKS Goto’s neck! Not a twist, but equally painful. Chase tags Kenta while the fans rally for “GO-TO-O!

World Tag League 2024 A Block: Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa VS Gabe Kidd & SANADA!
TMDK has a team in each block, doubling their chances of taking this league. But perhaps burying the lead is the fact that THE IWGP World Heavyweight Champion is joining in the fun! Will The Front Man & The Mullet rock this league right from the start? Or will the Mad Man and the turncoat Cold Skull get this tournament #WarReady?
The teams sort out but Oiwa gets in Gabe’s face. Gabe pushes Oiwa, they start, and they tie up at the bell. The fans rally as Oiwa and Gabe are in a deadlock.

Gabe scoops and SLAMS Oiwa, then he goes for legs. Oiwa UPKICKS Gabe, then stands up to scoop and SLAM Gabe! Gabe UPKICKS back, both men get up and go face to face. Then they go forearm for forearm!

Gabe CHOPS then runs, but Oiwa CLOBBERS Gabe! The fans fire up while Gabe bails out. Oiwa eggs Gabe on and Gabe snarls. Gabe shakes the railing in frustration, then he paces around the outside. Gabe cools off, slides in, but then tags Sanada. Sanada steps in slowly, so Oiwa tags in ZSJ. The two rivals circle and the afns rally behind “ZAKKU! ZAKKU!” ZSJ and Sanada feel things out, knuclke lock, and ZSJ rolls to wrench.

Gabe stomps Oiwa while Sanada CHOKES ZSJ with a chair! Red Shoes reprimands the War Dogs, but Gabe POSTS Oiwa! Gabe says War Dogs run this, but Red Shoes starts a ring count. Gabe flexes on Oiwa, then drags him up at 7 of 20.
Gabe puts Oiwa in at 10 and Sanada covers, TWO! Oiwa stays in this and the fans rally behind him. Sanada is annoyed but he brings Oiwa up. Sanada CLUBS Oiwa, then bumps him off Gabe’s boot.

So Oiwa obliges and they brawl among the fans! The Young Lions rush in to separate the two, but Gabe gets loose to CLOBBER Oiwa! They scrap, ZSJ joins in, and he pulls the two apart. Gabe kicks a chair in frustration, then goes into retreat. Wait, Oiwa chases Gabe to the ramp and beats him down! Young Lions again scramble in to stop this, but it just heads to the back! Sanada shrugs it off, will the #ColdWarDogs just have to try harder in the next round?
As for the winners, well, they’re no longer ringside so there won’t be any in-ring closing words. Backstage interviews begin, Gabe promises Oiwa will be put in the ground! Will the Mad Man show The Mullet what it takes to be NJPW Strong? As for ZSJ, he gathers himself, and tells NJPW Media that he doesn’t know where The Mullet went. Actually, no, he has an idea: The Mullet must be smashing the s*it outta Gabe. “Roy The Mullet” is the next NJPW Strong Openweight Champion! Oiwa will hit Gabe so hard, his legs will turn into trombones! As for ZSJ, there is something rare happening in this year’s WTL, isn’t it?
Yes, it’s that the IWGP World EFFIN’ Heavyweight Champion is involved, as this should be! The first time the world champion’s been in this tournament in roughly a decade! ZSJ said he was gonna be a different kind of world champion for NJPW, and that he promises to take NJPW back to the top! Now obviously, a conflict of interests, as this tournament is Shane Haste’s & Mikey Nicholls’ to win, but ZSJ won’t give the boys an easy ride. ZSJ is dreaming~ of an all TMDK World Tag League finals! Then who knows, maybe Zack & Roy get the job done.
But ZSJ knows the Tokyo Dome is coming soon. And Shota Umino wants to be ZSJ’s challenger. ZSJ says he will be keeping his eyes wide open for Shota. ZSJ says he’ll have a DOUBLE main event in the Tokyo Dome, it’s in the bag. What about you, Shota? The Front Man heads out, having put the pressure on his challenger, but will all of NJPW soon belong to TMDK?
Here are the A Block standings!
Zack Sabre Jr. & Ryohei Oiwa: 1-0, 2 points
Jeff Cobb & Callum Newman: 1-0, 2 points
Shingo Takagi & Yota Tsuji: 1-0, 2 points
Bishamon: 1-0, 2 points
Gabe Kidd & Sanada: 0-1, 0 points
Kenta & Chase Owens: 0-1, 0 points
Alex Zayne & Ryusuke Taguchi: 0-1, 0 points
Shota Umino & Tomoaki Honma: 0-1, 0 points
My Thoughts:
A great start to World Tag League 2024, with just A Block opening things tonight. I will say those tune-up matches were interesting. Even though David Finlay is the Global Champion, it’s Taiji Ishimori that has apparently become Bullet Club’s international ambassador. Taiji brought Robbie X into the group, now he teamed with The Filip Brothers, Tome & Stevie, who knows who else Bone Soldier will recruit. Taiji’s team beating Tanahashi’s team, House of Torture cheating and beating Tanahashi’s friends, this is all putting the pressure on The Ace, meaning The Ace will win out at WrestleKingdom 19.
Shota Umino teaming with Tomoaki Honma, I wonder if this is to hold Shota back somehow. He is apparently still heading for WrestleKingdom and a world title match with ZSJ, so it’s not like Shota needs to win WTL, but I guess NJPW just wants Shota to give the fans a good time alongside a fan favorite like Honma. Also, Callum & Cobb have a fun new shirt for their team-up. I figured Zayne would need to improvise now that #MonsterSauce is no longer happening, and Taguchi was a great surprise choice. But #FunkySauce making its debut against a team as strong as Takagi & Tsuji was a shame because of course LIJ was winning that. Maybe Zayne & Taguchi can pull off a spoiler victory later on, but I don’t see Funky Sauce going that strong.
Bishamon VS Kenta & Chase really was an awesome match, and it is so surprising how Chase has grown in just the past couple years. Great win for Goto & Hashi, though, as they’re clearly the solid utility choices in the tag division. And what an awesome main event, with Sanada bringing out the most Heel stuff he’s done perhaps ever. A bit jarring really, but that’s just kinda old fashioned Heel turns for ya. Great win for TMDK, though, and definitely an unorthodox way of closing by having Oiwa and Gabe brawl all over ringside and into the back.
While ZSJ says it is big for the world champ to be in this tournament, which I do agree with on some level, it also makes some of the A Block action seem secondary. Gabe and Oiwa having their grudge was kinda the main motivator behind this match, and then it’ll be similar when Shota & Honma VS ZSJ & Oiwa happens. There is the added drama of, “What if someone pins ZSJ? Will they get a world title match before WK19?” Maybe Shota solidifies his WK title match by being the one that pins ZSJ in their match, but it all just feels like more flash than substance. No one else is going to pin ZSJ, Oiwa probably takes whatever losses their team will take, so A Block’s story suffers for it.
My Score: 8.9/10
