PLAY BY PLAY
Trick Williams is here!
The fans are chanting for it, “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” Trick gets the mic and says he appreciates that, but he isn’t here to do talking. He’s here for one reason: Dunne started this, but he’ll finish this! Pete Dunne, bring your ass out here! But instead, we get Ethan Page. All Ego has them cut his music so he can tell Trick, “I am sooooo sorry that I’m not Pete Dunne. But I am NXT Champion, All Ego Ethan Page. But you know that, you were raising my hand this past Sunday at No Mercy.” And usually it is tradition that after a champion defends their title, they open the show. And that’s right, Trick only did that once!
The fans continue to sing “Ethan Sucks! Believe In Joe!” Trick finishes the line, put one some clothes and shut up! Trick is a man of his word, he called that title match down the middle. But don’t get comfy, Trick’s coming back for his title. For now, Trick has unfinished business with Dunne. Ethan laughs and says let’s go back a bit. Trick’s title? Really? Because Ethan thought he’d be defending his title in four weeks, the move to CW and in Chicago. That’s Ethan defending the title, not Trick. Ethan would be surprised if Trick even makes it to Chicago! Here comes Dunne! Trick dodges and fires haymakers! The brawl is on!
The fans fire up, security runs out here, and they back these two down! This match is meant for the main event! Will someone #FigureItOut?
Hank ‘n’ Tank walk ‘n’ talk.
They’ve called their shot, so now they gotta execute! Gallus, Rascalz, it don’t matter, it’ll be like a two-a-day in training! They hit first, they hit last, HONK HONK! But then Gallus steps in, and Markus says to save their breath. He and Wolfie are going to run through them and The Rascalz. If they want content for social media, come see them right now. Tank says fine, they’ll Fill Up The Tank right now! Refs rush in to stop this from turning into a fight, they gotta go to the ring. Jaida Parker walks by and says this is why she told her boys to stay out this mess. But then the Fatal Influence walk over and tell her she’s missing something.
Oh right, never mind, she LOST on Sunday. Jaida says at least she’s not riding the… clout of these two. Rawr, this kitty has claws. Jazmyn says she’s not clout chasing. And if Jaida’s ribs aren’t too broken, Jazmyn can prove it tonight. Fine, make sure to bring your two mommies with her. Miss Parker heads out, but will there be a major meltdown so soon after No Mercy?

But don’t get it twisted, The Rascalz are gonna win next week, and take these tag titles to TNA!

Can these two say the same? Oh, says the guy with a singles title! Frazer & Axiom head out, surely to game plan. Will they be ready for the energy Zach & Trey are bringing their way?

The D’Angelo Family talks backstage.
They all complain about Oba Femi beating up on Channing Lorenzo & Luca Crusifino during the title match on Sunday. But then hold up, Oba Femi himself walks in. Stacks says The Ruler’s got balls for walking over. Oba understands their frustrations. Oba knows it is very difficult for them to come to terms with the fact that their boss was no match for Oba. Oh please! Oba got lucky. He won at No Mercy, but The Don ain’t done. And Oba’s gonna part with that title real soon. Big words from such a small woman. In many cultures, the woman is meant to be seen, not heard. That’s it! Rizzo wants after Oba, but the boys keep her back!
Tony steps in and asks who Oba thinks he is! In Tony’s culture, you talk to a lady like that, and you get smacked in the mouth. Oba says maybe Tony should do something about it. Luca asks if that’s a challenge. Oba says you heard him. Tony has Luca stand down. Stacks will handle this. Stacks says you got it. Rizzo isn’t sure, but Tony knows The Underboss will handle this. No one talks to Rizzo like that and gets away with it. But given how Oba handled Tony, will he have no problem handling Tony’s right hand man?
No Quarter Catch Crew talk backstage.
Wren Sinclair says Tavion Heights returns from Japan soon, so maybe- WHOA! Gallus is throwing a tantrum! Joe is furious that Je’Von got involved out there. Joe is gonna END him! He’ll do it so Je’Von never gets to have his first legal pint! Yeah, they should do it tonight! End him so all the little TikTokers who love watching him flip and bounce around- Wren says hey, guys, they get Gallus is upset, but Charles wants them to keep it down. Myles has sensitive ears. Plus, why would Joe want to face Je’Von again? He’s really good, and even Logan Paul- Joe shouts, and asks if she’s finished. Mark says after Je’Von, Gallus comes for the Cup!
Oh, you want some of them? You think you can get your names on the Cup? Wren says Charles will- He stops Wren himself and says she’s new here. Gallus heads out and Charlie tells her to calm down. Stop just calling out everyone! She needs a convincing sales pitch. Take it in, think about it, and once that little head of hers is clear, then she makes a decision. Okay, got it. Will the Iron King crush the Young OG? Will he then look to rip that Cup out of Charlie’s grip?
Rosemary w/ Wendy Choo VS Tatum Paxley!
While the #SleepyPsycho could not put Kelani Jordan to bed, who would’ve thought twisted Tatum would go after her! But just like with Kelani, Wendy calls in the help of her wicked new friend! Will this demented playdate be a nightmare come to life?

Rosemary SPEARS her down! The fans boo as Wendy & Rosemary beat Wendy up! Wait! Lyra Valkyria is here!? Lyra CLOBBERS both Wendy & Rosemary, then rallies with forearms and a BOOT! The fans fire up, and Tatum is in disbelief! Lyra’s still Tatum’s friend after all? They hug it out and the fans cheer! Will The Morrigan help Tatum fight off these monsters from under the bed?
Backstage interview with Pete Dunne.
Sarah is with The Bruiserweight, and extra security, as she says he is a man on the mission. He told Trick to #FigureItOut, and Dunne says yeah! Trick’s gonna figure out that actions have consequences! This ain’t no music video, this is real life! And Trick learns the lesson of a lifetime! Wait, Trick still gets in! Dunne goes after him, they brawl from interview area to catering! Ava Raine is there and she shouts at them to stop this! ENOUGH! If they want to settle it, then fine! They do it now! No more waiting, Trick VS Dunne happens next! Trick and Dunne head out, and Ethan steps in. This place is starting to fall apart with Ava as GM, huh?
Ava scowls at All Ego, but will order be restored once Trick and Dunne finally “figure it out” in the ring?
Jordynne Grace speaks.
Jordynne was on social media to say that next week is a big week for wrestling. WWE Week on USA means all three shows, from Raw to NXT to SmackDown, will be on the same network. But she has something to make it even bigger. She has something that will make it historic! She spoke with Ava, and it is official. For the first time ever, Jordynne defends the TNA Knockouts Championship in an OPEN CHALLENGE on NXT! She wants to keep testing herself against the best, so if there is a woman who thinks she can fill Jordynne’s shoes, she’s more than happy to give that shot. See you soon, WWE Universe!
Jordynne’s on her way back to NXT, but who will be brave enough to step to The Juggernaut?

Ridge Holland speaks.
“Chase University welcomed me in at my lowest point, restored my confidence, gave me a sense of belonging. So why destroy Mr. Chase? Put him in the hospital. Because they failed. We were champions! But Chase U did what Chase U does: Win the big one, but can’t keep it. I brought them all back to prominence! Look at everything I did for Chase U! New look, new classroom. You think Duke Hudson could’ve done what I did? All he did was criticize every move I made. Duke Hudson is a smug, arrogant, A-hole! And Riley, he’s no different. They got their big title match at NXT Heatwave, they accepted my help in getting there.
“But when it came time to go? ‘Sorry, Ridge, stay home.’ And they failed without me! I finally became a champion, and it got ripped away because of mediocrity. But now, NXT, you’re going to get the man that I fought so hard not to be. The step by step destruction of Chase U begins next week. And Thea, I’m going to love every second of it.” The Yorkshire Grit STOMPS the trophies apart, will he leave Chase U with absolutely nothing?
Brooks Jensen is backstage.
Shawn Spears walks over and says there’s something he wants to tell Jensen. When Edris & Malik viciously attacked Spears, Jensen was the first one there. Jensen basically saved Spears. And then what Jensen did for him, attacking Edris and beating Malik, Spears wants to say something people probably haven’t said to Jensen in a long time. “Thanks.” Spears means that. He has Jensen look him in the eyes as he says thanks. This whole time, Spears thought he was the one saving Jensen, but turns out Jensen’s the one saving Spears. Spears is committed to this! He won’t leave Jensen like everyone else has.
Jensen asks, then why does everyone think Spears is manipulating him? Spears says Jensen knows Spears doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. So what does Jensen believe? Think about it. Spears thanks Jensen again, then leaves. Dion Lennox walks by and says that is textbook psychological manipulation. What? Dion says this is a classic case of gaslighting, bro. Dion leaves, and we see Spears was still watching from afar. Will The Chair Man have to keep others from showing Jensen the truth?
Joe Coffey w/ Gallus VS Je’Von Evans!
The Iron King cheated the Young OG last time, but ya boi bouncy~, so he bounced back and made sure Joe didn’t cheat tonight’s Triple Threat tag. Will Je’Von be able to even the score? Or will Gallus make good on their promise to end Je’Von’s bright future before it begins?

Cedric also gets Je’Von out of there before Gallus can pounce! Will the Gallus Boys not be on top when numbers aren’t in their advantage?
Lyra and Tatum regroup backstage.
Tatum gushes over her “sweet dove” having returned! Tatum knew that one day Lyra would forgive Tatum and realize what they had was special! And nobody has Lyra’s back on Raw like Tatum did on NXT. Lyra says hold on, let’s review. The issue was that Tatum wouldn’t let Lyra have any other friends. And when Lyra told Tatum to make friends, she didn’t mean literally make… But the point is, Lyra knows they didn’t leave things on the best terms. Lyra said she’d never come back, but she just couldn’t help it. Tatum says it has been so lonely around here. Lyra says chin up, kid. Tatum has backup now.
And Lyra did realize, she’d rather be fighting alongside Tatum than against her. Let’s go show those weirdos just how weird Tatum really is! YES YES YES! But uh, could they maybe…? Yeah, okay. They hug it out again! Will Wendy & Rosemary be in for quite the fight now that the former NXT Women’s Champion is teamed with twisted Tatum?
Backstage interview with Ava Raine.
Sarah is with the NXT General Manager, and says tonight has been completely chaotic, what with Trick and Dunne brawling all night, not figuring anything out. How does Ava plan on settling things? Ava knows those two haven’t made it easy. The ref was just doing his job, but Ava is sure she speaks for the fans when she says there has to be a winner. So next week, Last Man Standing! And then whoever wins will face Ethan Page for the NXT Championship on October 1st! Sarah thanks Ava for her time. Will that massive golden opportunity be just the thing to #FigureItOut?

The Ruler is still North American Champion, even after The Don pushed him further than just about any one opponent ever has. However, The D’Angelo Family isn’t letting him off the hook for his disrespect! Can the Underboss conquer the mountain that Tony could not? Or will Oba just add him to that long list of names?
NXT returns and The Family makes their entrance. The bell rings and Oba circles with Stacks. They approach, Stacks dodges and fires hands! Stacks knees low, whips, but Oba blocks to reverse! Oba runs up but stacks dodges to fire hands! Stacks climbs, rains down fists, but Oba stops him at two! Oba RAMS Stacks into a corner, then TOSSES him back the other way! Oba runs in, blocks a boot, and he short arm LARIATS! Oba looms over Stacks, drags him around, and drops a BIG elbow! And another BIG elbow! And then another BIG elbow! Cover, TWO! Tony coaches Stacks but Oba pushes Stacks around.
Oba clamps on a chinlock, and he grinds Stacks down. The Family rallies, as do the fans, and Stacks fights up. Stacks JAWBREAKERS free! Oba staggers, but he scoops Stacks. stacks slips free to ENZIGIRI! The fans fire up as Stacks DROPKICKS Oba out! Stacks goes to the apron, takes aim, but Oba CHOPS Stacks down! The fans fire up again and Oba tells Tony that he did this. Oba steps back in, stalks Stacks, then whips him to CLOBBER him! Oba drags Stacks up to whip and CLOBBER him again! Stacks writhes, the fans rally, and Oba hauls Stacks up again. Scoop and SLAM into the ropes! Stacks writhes, but Oba kicks him around.
Oba stomps Stacks’ legs, the ref counts, and Oba stares Tony down as he lets off. Oba drags Stacks by those legs, but Stacks works to roll Oba up! Oba stays up to stomp Stacks! But Stacks avoids the elbow drop! Stacks stands, Oba blocks a boot, but Stacks dodges the lariat! Oba hurries but Stacks elbows free! Stacks fires hands, but Oba choke grips! Stacks CHOPS, kicks a leg, fires more shots, and he’s free! Stacks BOOTS Oba, runs, POP-UP DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Stacks hurries up top! Stacks leaps but Oba gets under! The leg jams, Oba UPPERCUTS Stacks into a corner! Then Oba hauls Stacks up, SHOTPUT!
Oba fires up, the fans are with him, POP-UP POWERBOMB!! Cover, Oba wins!
Winner: Oba Femi, by pinfall
Tony stares Oba down, but that #FallFromGrace is on The Don. Will no one from anywhere ever truly take down The Ruler?
Brinley Reece talks with Karmen Petrovic backstage.
They both loved No Mercy. And both their favorite part was Giulia’s arrival. Mind blowing! Ashante THEE Adonis be creeping as Karmen asks how Edris is doing. Not good. Karmen heard he needed shoulder surgery after what Jensen did. Brin feels awful. And ever since then, Malik hasn’t talked to Brin. Ashante has a rose and says he feels so bad about what happened to Edris & Malik. But Adonisly, if she needs a shoulder to cry on, he’s right here for her. Um… Luckily, Eddy Thorpe steps in to say not to take anything from Adonis. Is this his new tactic? The ladies leave, and Adonis says look, it’s DJ Plutonic.
But hey, just because Eddy’s got no game, doesn’t mean he can mess with Ashante’s. So just let him do his thing, or he’ll get this work. Ashante leaves, still holding his rose. Will Ashante find some way to score? Or does he have to learn how to do things honestly rather than Adonisly?
Je’Von talks with NQCC.
The Young OG says this Cup is legit. Look at these names on here. He might put his name right around here. One day. Wren asks what makes him thinks he deserves a shot? Oh, well, one, he went pretty deep in that Speed Tournament last week. Two, he main-evented Heatwave in a banger Fatal 4. And three, he just spun the block on Joe Coffey. Oh, those are very compelling points. Does he have a fourth? Well, Wren’s cool, but this is starting to turn into a job interview with all these questions. He hasn’t really had a job other than this. Wren says she does feel he deserves a shot. Next week even? Yes, next week! Say less!
They shake hands, Je’Von heads out, and Wren tells Charles that she just gave Je’Von a Cup match, so he better get ready! W-What?! Why!? Well, she did what he told her to do! Told her what to do!? To ask contenders why they think they deserve a shot, hear their sales pitch, and then give it a second to sink in before deciding. She did, and Je’Von does. Charlie is beside himself. But this isn’t official, right? Wren didn’t speak to Ava yet? Well, no, but Je’Von’s probably on his way… Charlie throws a fit, shouts at Myles, and asks why he didn’t do anything! Myles takes out his earbud and asks what’s going on.
Charlie storms off, Wren says Je’Von thinks she’s cool. Okay… But if Wren’s getting Charlie into matches, is she also going to end up losing the NQCC that Cup?
Jaida Parker VS Jazmyn Nyx w/ The Fatal Influence!
While Miss Parker may not have won the NXT Women’s Championship, she got a lot closer than all three Fatal Influencers have combined! Will she show a fellow former soccer player that she can still kick ass, even with bad ribs? Or will the teachings of Jacy & Fallon help Jazmyn finally stand out in the ring?
NXT returns and Jaida makes her entrance. The bell rings and Jazmyn mocks Jaida over the taped ribs. The two tie up, Jazmyn headlocks, and she holds on tight as Jaida tries to suplex out. Jaida powers out, then she runs Jazmyn over! Jazmyn gets up in a huff, the two reset, and they tie up. Jazmyn knees low, then KICKS the legs! Jaida hobbles, Jazmyn whips, but Jaida reverses. Jaida CLOBBERS Jazmyn, “Too easy!” Jaida has Jazmyn in a corner, whips corner to corner, then runs up to back body block! The fans rally for Jaida as she whips again! Jazmyn comes back, but into a BACKDROP! Jaida runs up to cover, TWO!
Jaida snarls, clamps onto Jazmyn, scoops, but Jazmyn slips free to waistlock. Jaida bucks the O’Conner, but now Fallon distracts. The ref reprimands, but Jazmyn runs up! Jaida dodges but then the leg sweep trips her! Jazmyn keeps moving to PENALTY KICK! Jaida clutches her ribs and writhes, but Jazmyn kicks her more and more! Jazmyn stalks Jaida, Jaida body shots! And body shots! Jaida whips, Jazmyn reverses and CALF KICKS! Jaida again writhes but Jacy & Fallon cheer. Jazmyn boops Jaida, then runs to SOMERSAULT SENTON! Cover, TWO! Jaida toughs it out but Jazmyn clamps on the body scissor squeeze!
The fans rally, Jazmyn adds a crossface component, but Jaida endures. Jaida pries free, ELBOWS away, but Jazmyn squeezes tighter! Jaida shifts around, makes Jazmyn a backpack, and she powers Jazmyn into a fireman’s carry! Jazmyn fires elbows, slips free, and CLUBS Jaida in the back! Jazmyn runs, but into a fireman’s carry! SAMOAN DROP! The fans fire up as Jaida takes aim. Jaida ROCKS Jazmyn again and again, then CLOBBERS her! And LAIRTS! The fans fire up as Jaida scoops to SLAM! Jaida taunts Jacy & Fallon, then storms up to RAM Jazmyn! And RAMS her again! Jaida then puts Jazmyn in the ropes, to CHOP!
The fans fire up, Jaida blows a kiss, then TEARDROPS! the fans fire up as Jaida high steps, then she brings Jazmyn up. Jaida suplexes, but Jazmyn cradle counters! TWO! Jaida runs but Jazmyn trips her again! Jaida avoids the gamangiri, runs, blows past Jazmyn, then HIPNOTIC!! Cover, Jaida wins!
Winner: Jaida Parker, by pinfall
A big rebound win, but now Jacy & Fallon attack! The fans boo as Fatal Influence gets toxic! But Jaida fights back with big hands and big knees! But Jacy ROLLING ELBOWS! The fans boo as the mugging continues! They set Jaida up for Jazmyn’s PELE! Will Jacy, Jazmyn & Fallon continue to do what they want to who they want until the NXT Women’s Division is under the influence?
The NXT Women’s Division is watching.
Lola Vice says she’s so proud of Kelani Jordan for winning Sunday. The others agree, that was a great defense. But Izzi Dame is completely over all of that. But to what’s coming next, Kendal Grey asks Carlee Bright if she thinks you know who will be here tonight. Who knows, she has so much aura, it is something everyone wants to see. But The Fatal Influence walks in and Jacy mockingly asks, “Is the newbie gonna come out? O M G~!” She then says if someone wants to talk aura, look no further. This trio has all the aura. Lola says they’re just afraid of new competition. Fallon says no, they’re not afraid of girls who have been off PLEs.
Kelani says this is not what’s happening right now. She will not let these three poison the locker room with their toxicity. This is THE best women’s division, and it’s because of what they do in the ring, not in the back with their petty drama. Jacy says even as a champion, Kelani has a lot to learn. Count your days as champ, Kelani, because they’re numbered. Fatal Influence leaves the watch party, but will The Standout just have to humble them herself?
Duke Hudson tweets.
“Still processing everything that’s happened on Sunday, but wanted to say, Mr. Chase is still in the hospital. Now to watch Ridge in our classroom and breaking MY MVP trophy. Enough is enough. Next week, I get revenge for Thea, for Riley, and for Mr. Chase.” Duke is going after Ridge, who will stay standing after this clash of titans?
Roxanne Perez is here!
The Prodigy is still NXT Women’s Champion, and she struts her way to the ring, even as fans boo. She grabs the mic and says she’s sure they’re all so sick of seeing this scene, but she’s not! Yeah, yeah, Jaida slapped the taste out of Roxie’s mouth, but defeat tastes so much worse, doesn’t it? And she’s been handing out plates of it ever since she arrived here. Second all time in PLE matches. Second all time in PLE wins! Iyo Sky? Asuka? She’s smashing all their records! So let’s be honest: 99% of the women who have competed in this ring only dream of having the career she’s already had! Even the main roster can’t stop talking about her!
The fans boo, then they bring up “GIU~LIA~!” Roxie says y’know what, she’ll give Jaida some credit. At No Mercy, Jaida proved she is the future of NXT. The problem is, Roxie proved what she can’t be taught, reproduced, or touched! She is the most wanted woman in all of NXT! The fantasy match-up constant! Roxie VS X, Roxie VS Y, but when it comes to reality meeting fantasy, the results are always the same and they will never change! Like she said, no one has the ability to take this title from her! It doesn’t matter if you’re the hottest NXT Prospect, if you’re a former NXT Women’s Champion, or even if you’re the hottest free agent from Japan trying to steal Roxie’s shine!
Roxie promises us all that when the smoke clears, it will be her holding her title in the air. But then the lights go out! The fans fire up, because… It’s Chelsea Green!? The Hot Mess is back again, and she laughs at little Roxie. Was she expecting someone else? Rhetorical question! And another rhetorical question: Why does this section smell like mildew and BO? It’s called deodorant, people! Chelsea continues to the ring and says back to the speculation as to who “Miss Polly Pocket” will talk about and who interrupts her, yada yada. As we know, Chelsea is beloved by the WWE Universe! Well, sure is down in NXT.
Chelsea says she will do anything for her fans! Well, most of them, because most fans are creepy~! But regardless, here she is~, you little pint-sized champion! And nobody, and she repeats, nobody, not Sir Nicholas the Prickless, not Pinhead Pearce, and not even Ava, will tell Chelsea she is NOT the #1 contender! Wait, the lights go down again! And this time, it’s GIULIA~! The fans really go wild as the #BeautifulMadness has arrived! One of Stardom’s best takes her time walking around the ring before she steps up and in to be face to face with the champ. Chelsea yips and yaps at her, but that just gets her a FOREARM, and a KNEE!
The fans fire up as Giulia stands over the Hot Mess. Roxie is a bit annoyed seeing how easily Giulia did that. Giulia grabs the mic from Chelsea to tell Roxie, “Me, you, the CW.” The fans fire up as NXT’s next era is going to be insane! But will Roxie give in to the Beautiful Madness? Or can she keep her sanity as well as that championship?
My Thoughts:
Much like Raw last night, this was a great NXT to follow up No Mercy and build things for the coming weeks. Great stuff with Trick and Dunne right from the start, their constant brawling “forcing” their match to be sooner than the main event. It was a great match, and it was very clever to go with the double count out draw. They push this feud a little further, and now Trick VS Dunne in a Last Man Standing will be an awesome contender’s match. Dunne’s got two contenders matches in a row, and I have a feeling he isn’t winning either. Raw’s Fatal 4 will likely be won by Jey Uso so he can face Bron Breakker, and I would think Trick wins so he and Ethan can headline the CW premiere.
Great promos leading into the Triple Threat Tag match. I really like that it was the Triple Threat with all teams active at once, it kept things moving. Great overbooking, as of course Good Brothers weren’t going to let Hank ‘n’ Tank get their shot, and Je’Von still needed to settle things with Joe Coffey. Rascalz VS Fraxiom will be awesome, but I’m pretty sure Fraxiom retains. It might be because Wes Lee interferes, it might just be a clean match and the NXT Superstars keep the NXT titles. But I would think Wes shows up next week, goes after The Rascalz, and that sets up Wes VS Zach 2, or even Wes VS Trey, for a big TNA show.
Great match from Je’Von and Joe Coffey, even with Gallus being a concern, but logical move for Cedric to go out there. But instead of setting up a tag match, Je’Von goes back to the Heritage Cup. Wren Sinclair is really finding herself in this position, she’s very funny, and Dempsey VS Je’Von will be a really fun Heritage Cup match. I feel like Gallus will cost Je’Von and maybe then we get Je’Von & Cedric VS Gallus. Good promo from Jensen with Spears and Dion, as well as a good promo from Brinley, Karmen, Ashante and Eddy. Matches being set up all over while interweaving stories, and while Spears’ arm is in a sling, he probably uses Jensen as his metaphorical right hand to beat up people Spears says are against Jensen.
A very good but very quick match from Lexis and Oro. Lexis crossing the line with what he said, then cheating to win, we’re definitely getting a rematch that goes for longer, Oro wins, and then we’ll do a stipulation match blowoff, much like all of Lexis’s other feuds. I was surprised Rosemary returned just to lose another match, but Rosemary and Wendy beating up Tatum to bring out Lyra was a big surprise. Lyra only just came back to Raw to add to the story with Pure Fusion Collective, but I guess they want Lyra to help Tatum push past this story with Wendy so that Tatum can move up towards some other title opportunity.
Good promo with Oba and the D’Angelo Family, and very good match for Stacks against Oba, but of course Oba beat Stacks. He probably beats Luca in another match in the next couple of weeks, and then who knows, Tony probably goes for his own rematch with Oba for the CW premiere or something, and chances are, Tony wins there because there are still plenty of Tony D fans. Good promo from Jordynne Grace to set up a TNA Knockouts Championship match, can’t wait to see who tries her. They surely won’t win, TNA titles staying with TNA like NXT titles staying with NXT. Very good promo from Ridge, and good tweet response from Duke, they’re going to have an awesome match.
Very good match from Jaida with Jazmyn, and great spot for it to be the main event match. Solid win for Jaida, but of course Fatal Influence attacks. And with the promo backstage, it feels like Jaida might be joining forces with Kelani and Lola against Jacy, Jazmyn & Fallon. To be fair, she would’ve also been a good choice joining Lash & Jakara but then stories pivoted. Even so, Lola and Kelani also fit the part of superstars Fatal Influence hate, i.e. those that came from other sports instead of being pro-wrestlers from the start. And with it being Lola, Jaida & Kelani, there’s a good chance they win, but we could also see Fatal Influence cheat and get a pin on Kelani to set up a title match.
And speaking of the women’s division and titles, great promo from Roxanne, and great interruption swerve with Chelsea showing up. But yeah, Giulia of course still showed up. Chelsea was basically brought out so Giulia could hit someone and still stare Roxie down to stake her claim. Giulia probably also faces Chelsea 1v1 and wins to give fans a sample of what she can do before the title match. And between it being the CW premiere and Roxie already having put in a great reign as a Heel, I would be very surprised if Giulia didn’t win. New era, new champion, and Roxie moving on to RawDown, it just makes sense.
My Score: 8.8/10

The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans fire up for Ospreay as he and Ricochet circle. The fans also sing, “F HIM UP, OSPREAY, F HIM UP!” Ricochet shrugs that off, he and Ospreay tie up, and then Ricochet rolls. Ospreay shoots in, waistlocks, but Ricochet switches. They go around, Ricochet gator rolls with Ospreay, then floats to a headlock. Ricochet wrenches, hammerlocks then headlocks again.

Ospreay holds onto the headlock but Ricochet powers up and out. Ospreay runs Ricochet over, Ricochet bails out, and then Ospreay handsprings to fake Ricochet out! The fans cheer as Ospreay superhero lands out, and Ricochet is annoyed. Ospreay holds ropes open for Ricochet, but Ricochet goes around the way to step in on his own.
The fans boo Ricochet being a bad sport but Ricochet ignores that. Ospreay and Ricochet knuckle lock, then Ricochet kicks low! And CHOPS! Ricochet whips, Ospreay reverses, but Ricochet rolls off Ospreay’s back! Things keep moving, Ospreay avoids the handspring to then duck ‘n’ dodges and RANA! But Ricochet handsprings through! The fans fire up, and Ospreay arm-drags Ricochet down! The fans cheer while Ricochet endures the grind. Ricochet fights up and puts Ospreay on ropes. The ref counts, Ricochet and Ospreay slowly let g o, and Ricochet SLAPS Ospreay! Ospreay CHOPS Ricochet!

The fans boo but Ricochet takes the toilet paper to wipe himself, then he SMOTHERS Ospreay with it!
The fans boo that literally disgusting act of disrespect, but Collision goes picture in picture.

The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?
Adam Cole heads to the ring!
The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.
MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.
When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.
Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.
Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!
In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.
But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.
But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!
Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!
But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?
Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.
“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?
Kris Statlander VS Penelope Ford!
As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?
The bell rings and the fans rally as Kris circles with Ford. They tie up, Kris powers Ford to a corner, then throws Ford back into the corner! The ref counts, Kris lets off, but Ford shoves her!

Ford whips Kris into the steel steps! Kris falls over in a heap but Ford drags her up into the ring. Ford covers, TWO! Kris stays in this but Ford kicks her around.

Kris then SHOTGUNS Ford off the apron! The fans fire up and Kris brings Ford up, to THROW into railing! Kris puts Ford in the ring, the fans fire up, but Ford kicks low. Ford reels Kris in, but Kris suplexes, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford flounders to a corner but Kris has the fans rallying behind her. Kris runs up to UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side but Ford dodges the knee! Ford hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!
Ford wasn’t quite perfect there but she watches Kris go to a corner. Ford runs corner to corner, handsprings, but Kris catches her! The fans fire up as Kris GERMAN SUPELXES, but Ford lands out! but Kris goes Matrix to dodge! So does Ford! STUNNER! Ford runs, Kris does her best to follow, but Ford hops up for a POISON-RANA!

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?
Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.
They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!
And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.
But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!
The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-
Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?
Backstage interview with The Vendetta.
Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.
Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?

Julia Hart speaks.
“Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. I’m no coward. What you call tricks, I call advantages. I suggested that you watch your back. I gave you all the warnings. So I’m not understanding why you feel the need to call me classless and sneaky. I thought I was being more than reasonable. I know you’re strong, but are you smart? Are my ‘tricks’ too much for you? I guess we’ll find out January 1st, Fight for the Fallen. But remember: The House Always Wins.” The Princess of the Black Throne is ready, but will she learn Hayter Hits Hard?

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!
And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?
Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!
The teams sort out and Konosuke starts against Hobbs to give the DC fans a preview of Worlds End. Hobbs and Konosuke step up, talk trash, and then the forearms go back and forth! The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.
Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him! Hobbs even gets Konosuke to back down with a glare. Hobbs brings Cage up to fire forearms, then he tags Davis. Davis & Hobbs double whip and DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up as Davis stalks Cage to a corner. Davis CHOPS Cage, and CHOPS again! And CHOPS again! Cage sputters but Davis scoops to SLAM Cage down! Then ELBOW DROP! Cover, ONE! Cage stays in this but Davis bumps him off buckles.
Tag to Hobbs and he brings Cage out. Hobbs and Davis reel Cage in, fans chant “AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE! MEAT MEAT MEAT!” but Konosuke makes the save!

She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in.

Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!
The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?

Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?

They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?
Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)
If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.
Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.
And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10
