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!

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 Alpha stands tall over Davis as friendly fire takes out Ospreay’s team. But what happens when things divide into 1v1 matches? Will Konosuke still be International Champion after he and Ricochet go #OuttaThisWorld? Will Kyle prove that he IS The Protostar after tearing down Will Ospreay?
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?
Kris Statlander VS Hikaru Shida!
The #BornAgainKristen bodied the bullies that are Mercedes Mone & Kamille the last time she saw them, but she still needs to tune up for Full Gear.

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! Mone says hurry up, but Kamille looks at both Shida and Kris. Kamille takes as swing, but Kris blocks to ROCK her! Shida QUESTION MARK KICKS Kamille! Then Kris & Shida TOSS The Brickhouse!

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?

Nana eggs the Hurt Syndicate on so Shelton storms out after Nana. MVP watches the rest of ringside for Swerve, but Swerve slides out from under the ring!

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?

The fans rally as hard as they can and Darby crawls his way over! Darby is still far away at 7! But then he powers up and LEAPS in at 9!! But Claudio LARIATS Darby inside-out!! Cover, Claudio wins!

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!

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

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.

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! GO-TO-O!” Kenta pushes Goto into the corner, Goto hits Chase, but Kenta RAMS Goto! The ref reprimands and counts as Kenta RAMS Goto more!
Kenta sits Goto down, and digs his boot in! The ref counts, Kenta stops at 4, and he tags Chase back in. They stomp Goto more, then Chase headlocks for a sucker punch! Cover, TWO! Chase drags Goto up and he bumps Goto off Kenta’s boot. Tag to Kenta and Bullet Club double whips. They DOUBLE ELBOW Goto down then Kenta covers, TWO! Kenta covers again, TWO! Kenta argues with the ref but the count was fair. Kenta drops an elbow, drops another elbow, then covers, TWO! Kenta gets mad at Hashi for no reason, but the fans rally up for Goto.

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 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!

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
