Join Megan Morant & Sam Roberts in discussing, analyzing and predicting all the action on this hauntingly historic night!

 

Backstage interview with Oba Femi.

Sarah Schreiber is with The Ruler, and notes how Oba tied Tony D’Angelo to the ropes to make him watch as Oba then viciously took out Luca Crusifino & Channing Lorenzo. Oba says Tony got what he had coming. Oba said Tony’s family would not be by his side tonight, and he delivered on his promise, didn’t he? Now look at the so-called Don of NXT, reduced to a helpless man. That is exactly what Tony will be tonight. You thought Oba was dangerous before, but now see how dangerous he will be with tables, ladders and chairs! Luca & Stacks got a taste of it, and Oba isn’t worried about them. Oba is not worried about The family, or about breaking Tony.

The only thing Oba is worried about is winning back the North American championship that was “stolen” from him! And there is not a damn thing The Don can do about it! The Ruler heads out, will he take back the throne? Or will Tony show how dangerous he can be with everything at his disposal?

 

Sit-down interview with Giulia & Stephanie Vaquer.

The NXT reporter says that while they both have had decorated careers before WWE, this is their first Premium Live Event. What makes this moment different? Giulia says in Japanese, then in English, that this is a dream come true, it is what they’ve worked so hard for. Vaquer adds in Spanish that this has been years in the making. Giulia says the wrestling culture in Japan is very different. But when you see the bright lights and marquees in WWE, you wonder, “How can I make a name there? What’s it going to take?” Vaquer says it’d take “conquering the world,” and that’s what they did.

In Chile, wrestling isn’t professional like in the US. So she left everything she knew for a chance at this. And now they’re both here in NXT, and on Halloween Havoc. Giulia says she’s not here without her match against Stephanie. They bring out the best in each other, whether as opponents or as teammates. They will show everyone that.

The reporter than asks that with the goal being the NXT Women’s Championship, how does Giulia plan on getting through Roxanne & Cora tonight? Giulia admits, Roxie & Cora built this new era of NXT. They are the flagbearers, the frontrunners, the two you think about when talking about the NXT Women’s Division today. When Giulia was watching NXT from Japan, Giulia knew Roxie was gonna be her greatest challenge. And now with Cora backing her up, Roxie’s an even bigger threat. But those two have only gotten a small taste of the Beautiful Madness. And Giulia can tell, “they don’t like the flavor.”

Cora & Roxie wanna tear down the reputation Giulia dedicated her life to building, in Japan and around the world. But Giulia will not stop, she will only grow stronger. That is why this match is important to her. The reporter also asks Vaquer about her NXT Women’s Championship aspirations. After all, Vaquer did say that she was gonna face whoever won between Giulia and Roxie at No Mercy. Vaquer says she has held many titles, but that NXT Women’s Championship means you are the best woman in the best women’s division in the world. That is what Vaquer wants, it is what she will get, and she’ll smash Cora, Roxie, or anyone else, to get there.

Now, Vaquer knows what everyone is thinking. What does that mean for the team? Giulia & Vaquer have been opponents before, there is respect here. That is why tonight, they stand side by side. Will they fight each other again? More than likely. But first is Halloween Havoc, and first up are their common enemies in Roxie & Cora. Once Giulia & Vaquer win tonight, it will be every woman for herself to get that NXT Women’s Championship. Giulia then tells Cora & Roxie, “See you at Halloween Havoc. Arrivederci.” These international superstars are ready for their dream match, but will clashing championship dreams turn things into a nightmare?

 

Dave LaGreca & Bubba Ray Dudley are in the crowd!

They admire pictures Dave got with Mr. & Mrs. Hershey, but then Bubba points out they’re live. Dave welcomes us to the Busted Open- NO, this isn’t their show, Busted Open Radio. They’re live at Halloween Havoc! The fans are fired up, too, and Dave wants to get into it. Who does Bubba have winning? Oba VS Tony, Tony got over his fears to be North American Champion, but now all bets are off. Tables, Ladders & Scares, OH MY~! Bubba gets the fans to chant that, and he says that just like he said for BOR, Oba VS Tony at No Mercy tore the house down! Tony is the NEW North American Champion, so he and Oba are gonna take it next level!

The fans are fired up for that, and Bully says Tony has the edge because he’s been in matches like this before. Dave isn’t sure about a back-to-back win over Oba, but we’ll see. Then to the women’s tag match. Roxie is practically the Face that Runs the Place, and Cora is back, they’re besties again, taking on Giulia & Vaquer. Bubba says these four kinda remind him of the NXT Four Horsewomen. Boo this all you want, but that’s how he feels. These four get it done, he cannot wait to see what Giulia & Vaquer have in store for Roxie & Cora. Dave agrees, and he sends it back to Sam & Meg in Stanford Studios.

Sam can’t believe how happy Bubba is to be at a distance from Tables, Ladders & Chairs. He’s done those enough, surely. Meg likes the bold comparison of the Four Horsewomen. Sam says hey, Bubba has the stats to back up bold claims, and he’s not far off on this one. Will we see Roxie, Cora, Giulia & Vaquer establish themselves as the new pillars of NXT?

 

Ava Raine is with Kelani Jordan and The Fatal Influence.

The NXT General Manager is with the NXT Women’s Champion, as well as Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley & Jazmyn Nyx. Ava says Kelani will defend her title against one of the Influencers, so it is time to reveal who it is and what their stipulation for tonight will be. Because it happened Tuesday night that the Influence spun the wheel, and it landed on Spinner’s Choice. Jazmyn says yeah, but Zaria ruined their moment! The Fatal Influence deserves- Kelani speaks up to demand who she is facing and what they’re doing. Jacy says, “Excuse me, champ! I know you’re nervous, but you can cut the attitude.”

Kelani says Jacy can keep talking, and Kelani will drop her right now. Fallon steps up to say SHE is challenging Kelani. Ava says good, so then what is her stipulation? Fallon plays around, saying, “Let’s see, let’s see… Well, I don’t see it up here, but we did land on Spinner’s Choice, which means we can do whatever we want, right?” Ava says yeah, sure. Then the Influence has decided it will be… a GAUNTLET match! The fans are torn, but Fallon says that means if Kelani can get past Jazmyn, she’ll face Jacy. And if she gets past Jacy, she faces Fallon. See you out there, champ! Kelani now has three opponents instead of one, but she’s game.

Will the Standout prove no one does it like Lani when she takes down the entire Fatal Influence in one night? Or is this the one time it’s not good to be one of a kind?

 

Sit-down interview with Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade.

Sarah Schreiber sits down with the reunited bully besties and says they have had a long history. They were best friends as tag team champions, until Cora turn- Cora & Roxie stop her there. Why does she even have to bring that up? This is Sarah’s problem. This is everyone’s problem! They all want to live in the past when they should focus on the now. Roxie & Cora are two completely different people since their friendship first broke up. Which is a very big problem for Stephanie & Giulia. Cora isn’t focused on the title, but on reminding everyone why you never count Cora out. And Roxie says she has every intention of helping Cora do that.

Then with them on the same page now, a lot of people are saying Giulia & Vaquer are a dream team. Is this a dream match for Roxie & Cora? Roxie & Cora laugh, and Cora says she gets it. She’s not an idiot. Stephanie, Giulia, they’ve been all over the world. Japan, Mexico, everywhere! But Cora & Roxie have been here, helping build the strongest women’s division in the world. And for some reason, everyone forgets that Stephanie beat Giulia for Stephanie’s previous title. So it’s funny everyone is so concerned about Cora & Roxie as a team, when they should worry about the two women who came to NXT for the same reason: the NXT Women’s Championship.

Then let’s speak about the championship. Roxie stands as the currently longest reigning champion in WWE at 200+ days. But would she still be champion if not for Cora attacking Giulia? Roxie & Cora sigh again. Sarah, say that again. Go ahead. Well, Roxie is the currently longest reigning champion in WWE at 200 days, but- Exactly! She IS the longest reigning champion. No question marks, no doubt. She is champion because she deserves to be. Yeah, Giulia is on another level, but she’s not on Roxie’s level. And maybe, maybe Giulia had Roxie for a second, but no one cares. Giulia didn’t win. Why? Because Roxie didn’t know it then, but she can always count on Cora.

Now everyone loves to bring it up, so they’ll talk about it. They have had their ups and downs, but no one knows each other better than Roxie & Cora. You wanna talk dream teams? Roxie & Cora is the dream team! And tonight, they show everyone that you can travel the whole wild world of wrestling, and it is still too small in comparison to stepping into a ring with Roxie & Cora. Cora says she’s done with Sarah, she will be addressing Stephanie & Giulia now. Cora tells Stephanie & Giulia to enjoy their 15 minutes of fame on their first WWE PLE. Because Cora & Roxie are going to show why an entire era was built around them.

The champ and her bestie are confident, apparently having learned how to forgive and forget. But will this be a night they never forget when they fail to stop The Beautiful Madness & Dark Angel?

 

NXT checks back in on Dave & Bubba Ray.

Dave says he’s got “Bully,” but nah, it truly is Bubba Ray Dudley back in Pennsylvania! He even puts on the glasses and asks, “WAZZAP~?!” They talk the NXT Championship, Trick Williams VS Ethan Page, Devil’s Playground. They talked with HBK on BOR, an interesting take on it all. Ethan Page has put Trick’s feet to the fire with this match. Talking about the copper in the blood, your own blood, getting in your own mouth. That is something Ethan has been through before, and Trick has not. It is going to be one hell of a fight! Dave brings up Ethan asking Trick if he’s ever been busted open before, a position Trick’s never faced.

The fans chant “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” and Dave says clearly, Trick has Hershey behind him. But Trick’s never been put in a fight like this before. Bubba asks if Ethan has what it takes to become the NEW NXT Champion. Dave feels he does, and Dave really likes Trick. It’s just that Trick isn’t taking Ethan seriously here. Ethan has never beaten Trick 1v1, never pinned him. That is a good point there, but moving on to the Ambulance Match. Ridge Holland VS Andre Chase, the “Road to Redemption” for Ridge. But Dave has to say, Ridge is a bad man, maybe even a piece of garbage! Bubba says normally, he is never at a loss for words, but he agrees here.

Everything Dave just said about Ridge is- OH SNAP, Ridge interrupts! He hears them on that, he does. The fans boo, and Ridge ignores that to say these two are having a good time running him down. Big Chase U fans, right? Everyone is. But no one has a clue who Ridge really is. Bubba says no, he gets it. Tonight is a big night, Ridge wants to step in to make even more of a name for himself than he already has. Bubba appreciates it, he just doesn’t agree with it. Ridge tells Bubba to not play the saint here. Bubba did whatever he had to in order to get by in his career. Bubba pushed the envelope, all the way to being a WWE Hall of Famer.

Ridge is going to use that same energy tonight to put Chase U down, for good. The fans boo but Ridge leaves. Dave has Bubba cool down, because this is a huge show, one hell of a show, and they can’t wait to see it! Will Yorkshire Grit regret stepping to Bubba? Will he regret bringing down the wrath of Chase U?

 

Gigi Dolin is here!

“It’s the countdown to Halloween, my favorite time of the year. The season where we all embrace a different side of ourselves. A creepier side, a scarier side. That is what tonight is all about: Embracing the madness, the chaos, the mayhem! So, NXT Universe, are you ready to embrace the havoc?! The battle for the North American Championship has been decided by fate. What monstrous deeds await The Don and The Ruler when they clash in Tables, Ladders & Scares? Could the end be near for Chase University? Whose lights will go out: Andre Chase or Ridge Holland?

“The curse of a champion is a target they must wear, so it is important to have a friend who is always watching your back. Cora, Roxanne, there’s nowhere to run, there’s nowhere to hide. They’re coming for you. The Wheel has spoken, Who will channel their inner demon and come out as NXT Champion from The Devil’s Playground? Tonight, Halloween arrives early as NXT unleashes an event so shocking, so gruesome, you won’t wanna look away. Welcome to Halloween Havoc!”

 

NXT North American Championship Tables, Ladders & Scares: Tony D’Angelo VS Oba Femi!

This match may be a terrifying take on a TLC match, but you can bet both men are coming away from this with more than goosebumps. Bumps, bruises, possibly broken bones and broken spirits, but no need for climbing in this one! Pinfall or submission ends this storied rivalry, who writes the more frightening finale?

The introductions are made, but Tony has Mike Rome skip it. “We know the rest.” And then Tony throws hands with Oba! The ref rings the bell and Hershey fires up for the brawl! Tony dodges, then SPEARS! Cover, ONE! Oba is up but Tony LARIATS Oba up and out! Tony runs up but Oba KNEES low! Oba UPPERCUTS Tony, whips him, but Tony reverses to POST Oba! Tony then runs up to SPEAR Oba through barriers!! The fans are going nuts as this one gets scary in a hurry! Tony storms around, then he brings out a ladder! The fans cheer as Tony puts that in the ring, then brings out a second ladder!

Tony clears off the desk and the fans chant, “We Want Tables!” Tony’s second ladder is big, and it makes for a good bridge between ring and desk. But then Oba SMACKS Tony on the back with a chair! If you count the desk as a table, then the trifecta is complete. Tony writhes, Oba puts his chair aside, to bring out more chairs! Oba puts those in the ring, then drags Tony up. Oba steps up to the apron, the fans still want tables, but Tony CHUCKS a chair at Oba! Oba falls back, Tony storms over, but Oba SMACKS him with a chair again! Oba slides in, choke grip, CHOKE SLAM on a chair! Cover, TWO!! Tony survives and the fans rally.

Oba snarls and grabs the ladder from earlier. He props it up in a corner, then grabs a chair to SMACK Tony again! Even the fans wince from that one. Oba stands over Tony, and JAMS Tony in the gut with a chair! And then JAMS him again! Tony endures as Oba pushes the chair in, and Tony bench presses the chair away! But Oba stomps Tony in the gut! Tony goes to a corner, Oba whips him corner to corner, and Tony hits the ladder hard! Tony falls over, then the ladder does, narrowly missing Tony’s legs. Oba grins and the fans already cheer on “NXT! NXT!” Oba stands Tony up to UPPERCUT him to the corner.

Oba traps Tony by putting the ladder through ropes. Oba then SMACKS Tony off the rungs again and again! Tony sputters, Oba ROCKS him with a right. Tony slumps down, Oba repositions the ladder, but Tony UPKICKS it into him! Oba staggers, comes back, and Tony UPKICKS the ladder into him again! The fans rally as Tony flops out of the ring. Oba pursues, picks Tony up, and hits an APRON SPINEBUSTER! Oba puts Tony in the ring, the fans hoot, and Oba KNEES Tony in the side. Oba shifts the ladder around to be a ramp, and he scoops Tony to SLAM him on the ladder! The ladder doesn’t break but maybe Tony’s back just did!

The fans rally, they still want tables, so Oba goes looking under the ring. And yes, he finds a TABLE! The fans are fired up now, and Oba slides the table into the ring. Oba sets the table up in another of the corners, then goes back to Tony. Oba scoops Tony, takes aim, but Tony slips free! Tony fires haymakers on Oba! Tony runs, comes back, but Oba hurdles! Tony stops from hitting the table, but Oba UPPERCUTS Tony through the table!! The fans lose their minds all over again! Oba drags Tony to a cover, TWO!! Tony survives that human version of a car crash, and Hershey declares, “This is Awesome!”

Tony writhes, Oba paces, and Tony crawls to the apron. Wait, Oba pulls a crowbar out from a corner post? Tony reaches around behind the steel steps, he has no crowbar! Did Oba anticipate Tony’s ace in the hole and take it for his own? Oba grins, but Tony grabs a chair! The chair is a shield against the crowbar! Tony ducks, but then Oba BOOTS him! Oba CLOBBERS Tony with the bar, then GRINDS it into Tony’s face! It’s a cast iron crossface, but Tony still endures! The fans rally up as Tony fights, and he manages to turn into the twist. Tony stands, but Oba BLINDSIDE LARIATS Tony down! Cover, TWO!

Oba grows frustrated with Tony’s tenacity, and he stomps away on The Don! Oba CHOKES Tony with a foot on his throat! Oba CLUBS Tony with the crowbar again, then goes back to that crowbar crossface! The fans rally as Tony endures again. Tony fights up, and he RAMS Oba into buckles! Oba holds onto Tony’s head! Tony RAMS Oba back in, but Oba BLINDSIDE LARIATS again! Oba reels Tony in, but Tony powers up! Tony BACKDROPS Oba away! Both men are down and the fans rally for “Tony! Tony!” Oba and Tony rise, and Tony has a chair. Tony JAMS Oba, SMACKS Oba, and repeat! Then Tony clinches, BELLY2BELLY onto the chair!

The fans fire up with Tony, and he clinches Oba for a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Oba survives and now Tony grows a bit frustrated. Tony rolls out of the ring, looks under it, and he brings out a new TABLE! The fans fire up as Tony puts that in the ring, and he sets it up on its own two (four?) legs. But then Oba fireman’s carries Tony, to F5! Tony writhes, clutching his knee, but Oba can’t make a cover from how beat up he’s feeling. Oba stands, hobbles to the ropes, then goes outside the ring to look underneath. He finds ZIP TIES! Oba drags Tony over by his suspenders, and he uses the zip ties to bind Tony to the bottom buckle!

The fans are torn as Oba is making Tony relive Tuesday night! But wait, The D’Angelo Family IS here! Oba said they wouldn’t, and that he wouldn’t sweat them, but now he has to BOOT Stacks, and TOSS Luca! Rizzo slips past him to go to Tony’s side! Oba POSTS Stacks but Rizzo works on freeing Tony! The fans are torn, and then Oba sees Rizzo in the ring. Oba tells her to mind her business, and he steps into the ring. Rizzo backs away in fear, and Tony tells Oba to leave Rizzo alone! Tony is Oba’s opponent! But Oba looks at the table Tony set up…! Oba grins as he steps closer to Rizzo. Rizzo hurries out of the ring, but Oba keeps stalking her!

Oba is like a lion with a rabbit, but this rabbit’s got a crowbar!! Only for Oba to SNATCH it from her! Wait, Tony BREAKS the zip ties! And he runs to SPEAR Oba off the apron and down through the ladder bridge!!! The fans lose their minds all over again as Don and Ruler are writhing in the wreckage! Tony drags Oba up and into the ring, and he gets moving again, only for Oba to LARIAT!! Oba still has power to spare! FALL FROM GRACE!!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Tony survives and Oba is beside himself! Rizzo cheers on Tony but Oba rises again. Oba stands Tony up, so Rizzo slips in to CROWBAR Oba down!

Luca & Stacks use chairs to SMACK Oba, and then FULL METAL SHATTER MACHINE!! Tony picks Oba up to SPINEBUSTER through the table!! Cover, Tony wins!!

Winner: Tony D’Angelo, by pinfall (still WWE NXT North American Champion)

Oba’s arrogance and disrespect were his downfall! He tried to destroy The Family, and he only made The Family stronger for it! If Oba cannot be North American Champion, what is he to rule now? As for The Don, will he and his family move on to even bigger and better?

 

Backstage interview with Lexis King.

Sarah Schreiber is with the Drama King and says he has his Heritage Cup Championship match on Tuesday, but she has to ask: Has Lexis found a cornerman yet? Lexis says he’s found everything but. He has been finding himself in the ring, his conditioning is on point, and credit to Charlie Dempsey, he is a heck of a competitor from a great wrestling family. Lexis is on his game right now, but he won’t lie, he is struggling to find a cornerman. It has been days of constant rejection, ghosted texts and unanswered voicemails. It is so hard to change everyone’s perception. He gets it, people look at him and they see his dad.

Lexis understands, but he’s also trying to be his own man. But rejection sure sucks. “I’ll be your cornerman.” Wait, William Regal?! Regal says he knew Lexis’ father very well, and if five decades in this business has taught Regal anything, it’s that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, especially with second generation wrestlers. But Regal appreciates that Lexis is trying to be his own man. So Regal will be in his corner. Lexis can’t thank Regal enough. Oh, there will be time. They shake hands, and is the Gentleman Villain really going to help Lexis get one over on his son?

 

Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade VS Giulia & Stephanie Vaquer!

The Prodigy and her prodigal bestie have not just reunited, they’re united in holding down everyone else in the division. Will these punk rock mean girls bully around the new girls, in matching outfits even? Or will they succumb to the Beautiful Madness and the Dark Angel on her side?

The teams sort out, and Vaquer starts against Cora. They circle, feel things out, and knuckle lock. Vaquer then stands on Cora’s hand, twists the other, and turns Cora around to a motorcycle stretch. Cora turns things back around, but Vaqer powers up to whip Cora into the corner. Tag to Giulia already, and Giulia climbs. Vaquer wrenches, Giulia AX HANDLES the arm! Giulia wrenches, YANKS, and repeat, to then CLUB Cora’s arm. Giulia hammerlocks before she RAMS Cora into the corner! Tag to Vaquer and she BOOTS Cora down! Cora scrambles away, tag to Roxie! The fans rally as Roxie and Vaquer circle now.

The two tie up, Roxie pulls hair and puts Vaquer on ropes, but the ref counts. Roxie stops at 4 to shove Vaquer. Vaquer SHOVES Roxie down! Roxie runs up, but into a headlock. Vaquer grinds Roxie, spins her around, then waistlocks to SLAM her! Vaquer flips Roxie over but Roxie kips up to arm-drag Vaquer away! Vaquer stands, Roxie sweeps to cover, ONE! Roxie clamps onto an arm, wrenches, and YANKS the arm! Roxie wristlocks, Cora taunts Vaquer, but Vaquer slips around, body scissors, JAPANESE BRIDGE! TWO, and Roxie body scissors to ghost pin! TWO, Vaquer covers, TWO!

Roxie steps over, LA MAGISTROL, then O’CONNER BRIDGE! TWO, and Vaquer has a headscissor squeeze! Vaquer turns over to DRILL Roxie into the mat again and again! Vaquer then scuffs Roxie, covers, ONE!! Roxie toughs it out, but Vaquer keeps her from Cora. Tag to Giulia, and the Stardom alumni double whip. Giulia drops, Vaquer bypasses, then Vaquer hurdles for Giulia to drop toehold! Roxie is on ropes, Vaquer hits a 619! Giulia BLINDSIDE KNEES Roxie! Cora runs in, Giulia dodges, Vaquer SUPERKICKS! Then they shake hands to DOUBLE ELBOW DROP Cora! Cora bails out, the fans fire up, and Giulia drags Roxie up.

Roxie SLAPS Gulia! And SOBATS, but Giulia wheelbarrows! Roxie victory rolls, flips Giulia over, CROSSFACE! Giulia rolls to a cover, TWO! Roxie swings, into a leg takedown, STF! Cora storms in, Vaquer intercepts with a flying body scissors! Vaquer wrangles Cora into an STF! Well, Roxie & Cora are twinsies so now they’re enduring the same hold! The fans fire up as Roxie & Cora crawl, ROPEBREAKS! The ref counts, Giulia & Vaquer let go, and the mean girls bail out together. Giulia eggs them on, the fans rally up, and Roxie storms up to the apron. Roxie runs up, Giulia dodges, and Giulia SLAPS Roxie back!

Giuila whips, Roxie reverses, but Giulia goes up and out. Giulia swings, Roxie dodges, but then Giulia dodges the shoulder tackle! Giulia BOOTS Roxie, goes up, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Roxie tumbles, Giulia covers, TWO! Roxie is tougher than that but Giulia smirks. Giulia brings Roxie up, Roxie shoves her away, but Giulia BOOTS again! Giulia whips, Roxie reverses, and Cora trips Giulia up! Roxie CLOBBERS Giulia! Vaquer protests, the ref stops her, but then the twinsies mug Giulia! Roxie drags Giulia up to whip, then she UPPERCUTS! Tag to Cora, they mug Giulia in the ropes! Roxie runs to SHOTGUN Giulia down! Cora covers, TWO!

Cora talks trash on Giulia, whips her to ropes, then ROCKS her with a forearm! And repeat the other way! The fans rally, Cora puts Giulia on ropes to run and BACK ELBOW! Cover, TWO! Cora keeps on Giulia with a chinlock and she squeezes tight! Giulia endures and the fans rally up. Vaquer coaches Giulia, and Giulia fights up. Giulia flails, arm-drags free, and then slips around to roll Cora up! TWO, and Cora scrambles to her feet. Cora LARIATS Giulia down! The fans continue to rally, and Cora drags Giulia over. Tag to Roxie, and the twinsies double whip Giulia into the corner. Roxie runs up, into a BOOT!

Cora runs up, SHIING- NO, Giulia DUMPS her! Roxie drags Giulia up but Giulia ROCKS Roxie first! And again! Giulia whips, Roxie reverses to take a swing, but Giulia ducks! Giulia swings, Roxie ducks! Then they both SLAP the other down! The fans fire up while Roxie and Giulia both stir. Roxie sees Cora is still down, so she hurries to anchor Guilia. Giulia BOOTS Roxie away, and hot tag to Vaquer! Vaquer springboards to CROSSBODY! A heavy impact but Vaquer keeps going. She dodges Roxie, and feeds her SOLE FOOD! Cora runs up, Vaquer puts her in a corner! Vaquer fires HEAEDBUTTS on Cora!

Vaquer runs corner to corner, BOOT for Roxie! METEORA for Cora! Roxie ELBOWS Vaquer, but Vaquer is just mad! Vaquer gets Roxie’s leg, DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Cover, TWO!! Roxie is showing championship grit but Vaquer tucks her in! But Cora makes the save! Giulia runs up, Cora dodges! Cora takes a swing, Giulia dodges! Giulia & Vaquer have Cora & Roxie by the hair!

Cover, Giulia & Vaquer win!!

Winners: Giulia & Stephanie Vaquer, by pinfall

Their own take on Power & Glory brings the Stardom alumni the victory! But the detail to highlight is that Vaquer pinned the NXT Women’s Champion. Will- Wait, the lights go out! And we see that ZARIA is here! She made her presence known last Tuesday, and we see her up in the skybox! The NXT Women’s Division continues to be the best in the world, but who will be the best of the best?

 

Cedric Alexander talks with Je’Von Evans backstage.

“Uncle Ceddy” wants the Young OG to understand, #Fraxiom has been here longer, so they have more experience. But Je’Von seems to be spacing out. Cedric asks if he’s okay, and Je’Von says yeah, he’s fine. But… Does Cedric think Je’Von was wrong to slap Nathan Frazer last week? Like, he doesn’t feel bad about it, but at the same time, the kid in these pictures wouldn’t be popping off just for someone mouthing off. Is he talking crazy or…? No, Cedric gets it. He personally wouldn’t have, but he sees what Je’Von’s feeling. Guys are gonna try and test Je’Von, and come at him from different angles every chance they get.

The key to success is to stay cool, but not be a pushover. That said, Cedric’s actually glad Je’Von slapped Frazer, because otherwise, Cedric & Je’Von wouldn’t be getting a title match with Fraxiom. That’s why Cedric’s in NXT: championship gold! Who knows? It might be alright to do some bad things to get ahead. Every once in awhile. Well, no, let’s not go there. Je’Von likes Cedric the way he is, so lets get the titles! Will PRIMED Alexander & The Young OG be feeling sweet while they make Frazer & Axiom all salty?

 

Dave & Bubba check in again.

It’s already been quite the show, and what a foundation shaking finish as Vaquer pins the NXT Women’s Champion! Bubba says the only three words that come to mind are, “This is Awesome!” That tag match, for a tag team specialist like him, that was one hell of a match! And how about the sudden appearance of you-know-who. Yes, Dave agrees, this is a new era! How about the way this show started? Tony D not only defending the title, but his family coming together to do it. Bubba says Tables, Ladders & Scares! As one of the four founders of TLC, Bubba can tell you, that was a hell of a match!

Tony and Oba laid it all on the line, it was physical, and brutal, and yeah, #AndStill North American Champion, Tony D’Angelo. Dave says if we’re talking brutal, what’s up next in the Ambulance Match, with Ridge talking to Bubba, this will be a hell of a match. Bubba says again, Ridge is making a name for himself, we all know who he is now. Will Yorkshire Grit come through on destroying Chase University once and for all? Or should he have just learned how to accept their help so he could avoid this Chase University sized ass whooping?

Ambulance Match: Andre Chase VS Ridge Holland!

The ambulance used for this match is really more the ECTO1 from Ghostbusters. And while Chase is still the professor, he’s got the Freddie Kreuger sweater. The bell rings and Chase BOOTS Ridge! Ridge hits back, the haymakers fly, and then Chase fires off a combo! Ridge shoves Chase, Chase dodges the lariat and he BOOTS again! The fans fire up, Chase runs up, and he LARIATS Ridge up and out!

And CHOP! Chase brings Ridge to the stage where the ambulance awaits! Ridge ELBOWS Chase, then fireman’s carries! LAWN DART into the side of the ECTO1! And Ridge brings the stretcher out. It’s even hydraulic, that’s cool.

Ridge tells Chase this is what he wanted. Ridge SLAPS Chase, runs, but Chase drop toeholds Ridge into the chair!

The fans fire up, and both men flounder. They both grab kendo sticks! The fans fire up as Chase and Ridge clash swords, and then Chase dodges to SMACK low! And SMACK Ridge on the back! KENDO STICK RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up and they spell it out, “C! H! A! S! E! U!” Chase then goes up a corner and the fans cheer. Ridge stands, into the CROSSBODY! Chase then grabs that chair, brings it around, and he winds up to SMACK Ridge on the back! Ridge tumbles out of the ring and the fans chant for “PUMPKINS! PUMPKINS!” Chase goes after Ridge, but Ridge scoops to SLAM him on the floor!

The fans boo, but Ridge snarls. Ridge rips up floor mats! The fans boo because they don’t like where this is going. Ridge drags Chase up, reels him in, but Chase BACKDROPS Ridge onto exposed floor!

The table does not budge but Chase grins. The fans want that “ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!” Chase gladly obliges, and he drags Ridge up. Ridge is deadweight, and that’s a lot of weight. So Chase gets the stretcher and brings it over. Chase drags Ridge onto the stretcher, and he starts wheeling it towards the ramp! But Ridge slumps off the side! The fans boo, but Chase drags Ridge up again.

But Ridge whips Chase into steel steps! Chase falls, the fans boo, but Ridge storms over. Ridge drags Chase up, puts him on the stretcher, and now Ridge brings Chase up the ramp. The fans boo but Ridge has Chase by the ambulance! Ridge drags Chase off the stretcher, shoves him at the ECTO, but Chase slumps down. Ridge rains down fists on Chase!

Ridge gets free of the ambulance, and he SMACKS Chase with the door! Ridge has Chase under the door, to CATAPULT GUILLOTINE!! Chase hits door, door closes, and the fans boo more. Ridge drags Chase up, for the REDEEMER on the ramp!! The fans boo as hard as they can, but Ridge opens the ECTO1. Ridge drags Chase up and into the back, to SLAM the door shut! Ridge wins!

Winner: Ridge Holland

Ridge completes his utter domination of Chase U, from teacher to student body and back again. Ridge says Chase U is dead, but does that really mean this will be a new, better chapter in Ridge’s life?

 

Axiom finds Nathan Frazer going hard in his training.

The Undeniable Truth wants the Jersey Island Rocket to slow down, but Frazer says sorry, did he really just say that? Well, save something for Tuesday. Frazer apologizes for Tuesday. It’s just that, the slap from Je’Von really got Frazer heated. Axiom says no worries. If anything, he’s used to it by now. What? Well, Frazer gets hot, backs the team against a wall, but Axiom gets them out of it. It’s kinda what they do. “What they do?” Frazer isn’t doing this on purpose, mate. Axiom thinks he does, though. What? Uh, The Viper himself said it was okay to be a hothead, and Frazer loved it! But that doesn’t mean he can use it as an endorsement.

But hey, it’s okay. Axiom accepts Frazer for who he is. Wait, is he mad at him or what? No, not mad. And of course they’re going to train, they have to stay sharp for Je’Von, for Cedric, and for whatever else Frazer’s mouth gets them into. Hey, amigo, could you be any more condescending? Yes, actually. But then he’d be Frazer. A bit of a burn on Frazer there, but will the tag team champions be able to stay cool and stay golden this Tuesday?

 

Backstage interview with Ava Raine.

Sarah is now with the NXT GM and says it has been a busy weekend for her. She was on SmackDown just last Friday, talking with the other General Managers, and it is official: A WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Fatal 4 Way for Crown Jewel! And tonight has already been a thriller, but we did just hear that intense exchange between the NXT Tag Team Champions ahead of their title match on Tuesday. Ava says yeah, that is certainly unexpected, so it’ll be interesting to see how things go Tuesday.

Speaking of, William Regal of all people will be in Lexis King’s corner for the Heritage Cup Championship. Ava says she just met with those two in the hall, and obviously Regal has a wealth of knowledge on both Heritage Cup matches and Charlie Dempsey, so she’s intrigued to see how that goes down. And that brings Sarah to November 6th, NXT 2300, they’re going to be in the classic ECW Arena! Ava is very excited for that, it is one of the most iconic venues in wrestling history. She’s still finalizing the card, but a guaranteed match is Lola Vice VS Jaida Parker, and it will be a special guest referee: ECW Alumni, Dawn Marie, AND it will be a Hardcore match!

Big moves from Ava for a big Tuesday in Philadelphia! Will things truly get extreme in the home of Extreme Championship Wrestling?

Fallon finally has a singles title here in NXT, and Fallon gets the mic to says, “Statement made! From here on-” WAIT! Zaria is back again!?

Tony D’Angelo and the Family regroup backstage.

Rizzo, Stacks & Luca are proud of Tony. #AndStill! Tony didn’t know they were even coming, but they loved seeing the look on his face. Sarah steps in and says it is good to see the family doing well. Tony says Oba tried to take the title and take out the family, but he retained. Didn’t he ever? But uh, hold on, he’s in rough shape. Stretch it out. But hey, he wants to give a big shoutout to “Big Rizz” here. She’s got the crowbar hit heard around the world. And she is not done. Her attacker last week is now known, and Rizzo is gonna come after her on Tuesday! But for now, we celebrate! Wait, who was it that attacked Rizzo? And what happens when Rizzo gets her hands on her?

 

Dave & Bubba check in again.

Dave is loving Halloween Havoc, but he must say, he is NOT happy how Kelani is no longer NXT Women’s North American Champion. Fallon is the new champ, but the odds were stacked against Kelani. Unfortunate, but it is what it is. Bubba says in the words of Joey Styles, “OH MY GAWD~!” Zaria put the entire NXT Women’s Division on notice! We saw her earlier int he rafters, then she took ever Influencer out. And then the Ambulance match, as Ridge said earlier tonight, eh showed up. In fact, he shows up again! Ridge said he told us so! He destroyed Chase U, put a stake through their hearts, and now he’s moving on!

Ridge is going to do what he came back here to do! This is fair warning to everyone that it will be far worse than what he just did to Chase! Bubba says okay, that’s twice now He did it preshow, Bubba let it slide. Ridge does it on THE show, and Bubba is telling him now, don’t do it again. The fans cheer Bubba, and Ridge backs down. Is the Yorkshire Grit messing with the wrong one? But Dave gets things back on track. The main event is left, and it is the one we’ve all been looking forward to! Trick or Ethan, who will it be? Vic Joseph takes it from here that The Devil’s Playground is ready, but this match can go anywhere and end anywhere!

Booker T says this is Halloween Havoc! They can’t end tonight without a match like this! And whoa, Tatum Paxley pops out of a road case! Is this where Wendy Choo left her after Tuesday night?! Tatum says hey, everybody. Ava hurries out here to say that while she’s glad to see Tatum’s alright, they should get her to medical to have her checked out. Tatum tells Ava that after what Wendy did to her, she wants a match! Sure, understood. If it’s a match she wants, it’s a match she gets on Tuesday. No, no, let’s make it more interesting! Tatum SPINS THE WHEEL! And we get… a CASKET MATCH!!

Tatum is so excited, because now she can do to Wendy what she did to Tatum! Ava agrees to the deal, and the fans cheer! Will Tatum or Wendy be the one put away in a box once and for all?

 

NXT Championship Devil’s Playground Match: Trick Williams VS Ethan Page!

Like an iconic movie franchise, this is a trilogy that will have a powerful finale! Both men have very different perspectives on this story, but this is no fairytale. This is going to be a HORROR STORY come to life! But who makes it to the end credits of this nightmare in Hershey while the other is left in the past?

Trick is here, but he’s not just Trick! He’s Trick Willy Wonka, and he’s giving candy to everyone! The introductions are made, the belt is raised, as are the stakes, and on The Devil’s Playground, we see whose pride comes before the fall!

Trick sputters as he slips out of the ring, but Ethan grins. Ethan goes out and looks under the ring. Ethan brings out a chair, puts it in the ring, then dares Trick to get in there with him! Trick says bet, and he brings his own chair! Ethan is a little rattled, but they run up! The chairs clash, Ethan is disarmed, and Trick SMACKS away on Ethan! Trick SMACKS Ethan right outta the ring! A homer like it’s the World Series, and Trick hurries after Ethan.

Ethan RAMS Trick into the apron, then RAMS him in again! The fans boo but Ethan puts Trick back in. Ethan tells Vic he looks like a dumbass in his pumpkin tuxedo. But then Ethan grabs the Jack O’ Lantern and brings it into the ring. Trick dodges and UPPERCUTS! Now Trick has the pumpkin! The fans fire up as Trick makes Ethan the Pumpkin King! Trick fires hands, then a CYCLONE KCIK! The pumpkin breaks, Trick covers Ethan, TWO! Ethan bails out but Trick pursues. Trick brings Ethan up, fans chant “WHOOP DAT PUMPKIN!” Trick DECKS Ethan, then shows off pieces of the pumpkin.

Trick BACKDROPS Ethan onto the trash can! Cover, TWO!!

Ethan survives but Trick drags him up. Trick brings Ethan around to CLUB him, CLUB him again, and then SHOVE him into barriers! Trick says all night long! And he LARIATS Ethan back to ringside!

My Thoughts:

An awesome night for Halloween Havoc, but still with a few flaws that really could’ve been ironed out with some forethought. Zaria is a great addition to this already powerful NXT Women’s Division, but did we need to see her twice? It’s a bit redundant for her to show up and put the top title picture on notice, then completely obliterate The Fatal Influence after their win for the midcard title. Just do the latter, since it felt like Zaria was after the Women’s North American Championship from the start.

And speaking of that title, I’m not sure Gauntlet was the way to go. I swear I heard one guy counter the “This is Awesome!” chants with “No It’s Not!” Sadly, that one guy was probably right. If the end result was Fatal Influence all working together, any No DQ match would’ve worked. And with the Gauntlet, sad to say, it exposed some flaws. It was mostly in timing between them all, certainly in Kelani VS Jazmyn, but Kelani VS Fallon made it work by the end. Good for Fallon to be new champ, she has put in the work to deserve it, but I now fear she’s getting fed to Zaria right away. Hmm, maybe they should’ve flipped it and let Zaria only tease going after the top title.

And in which case, awesome stuff for that story. Very good promos in the preshow from Giulia, Vaquer, Roxie & Cora, and awesome match. Kudos to Cora for going top rope after only just coming back from a knee injury. While it was a natural choice for Vaquer & Giulia to win, it also helps their story that Vaquer pinned Roxie. Giulia and Vaquer will likely have a match against each other, the winner faces Roxie for the title at let’s say Deadline in December. The other can find their way into the Iron Eliminator match along with Cora and some other top names, making for another strong showing from this strong Women’s Division.

Likewise, we are getting strong grudge matches out of the non-title stories. Ava announcing the fourth Special Guest Referee match in WWE was odd. Not sure anyone had this many special guest ref matches on their wish list for 2024 but here we are. Dawn Marie will surely be a factor in Lola VS Jaida, but it’ll overall be an awesome match for NXT 2300. Likewise, Tatum VS Wendy in a Casket Match for this Tuesday will be a great blowoff, especially with no chance of interference. Wendy and Rosemary are no longer spooky scary teammates after TNA Bound for Glory, so it’ll be Wendy and Tatum 1v1.

Really good promos to hype up the rest of Tuesday’s episode. Good stuff with Je’Von quite truly growing into his own, wondering where the line is between Face and Heel. Good stuff in Fraxiom again having fractures in their bond. I don’t see Je’Von & Cedric dethroning Fraxiom, but it’d be so weird if Fraxiom really did break up before A-Town Down Under. And while I thought Lexis was going to get Oro Mensah to come around and be a cornerman, William Regal stepping in is quite the twist. I don’t know which would be better: Regal actually helping Lexis win; or Regal swerving Lexis because he’s really helping Dempsey. The latter could be used to bring Oro to Lexis’ side, feeling sympathetic to Lexis getting cheated.

Good promos from Tony and Oba in the preshow, and they had a great TLC match to start us off. A little torn on how that one ended, though. The Family all helping Tony win was really more to protect Oba in the loss. I’m sure Oba moves up to the NXT Championship at some point, but the loss felt as off as Kelani’s. But at least the promo with the family backstage set up a very quick end to the Whodunnit. I am still thinking it was Lyons that attacked Rizzo, given the little interaction she had with Oba. This has to lead to a faction warfare story, Oba, Lyons, and the team of Tyriek & Tyson, aka #TYGERS going after The D’Angelo Family in full.

Great stuff with Ridge Holland tonight as he is apparently the one moving up to the NXT Championship next. I was really surprised Ridge won against Chase as far as a storytelling concept, but Ridge is definitely big, strong and mean enough to be a top level Heel in NXT. Ridge interacting with Bubba Ray was also some good stuff, as this helps both the NXTNA crossover, as well as brings an ECW & WWE legend back on screen. Trick VS Ethan was really good, though certainly more a brawling Falls Count Anywhere than anything truly “horrifying.” Though, they did pull off “blood in the mouth” rather well.

Trick retaining was the logical choice, as he only just got it back and doing a “hot potato” between Trick and Ethan would be a little much. Bubba saving Trick from Ethan and Ridge was good stuff, solid ending scene here. Trick VS Ridge can certainly be at Deadline, but it’d be good story stuff if Ridge attacked Bubba on TNA “when he least expects it.” Ridge VS Bubba can even be a great match before or after Ridge challenges Trick. Because no offense to Ridge, but I’m not seeing him take the title off Trick. Maybe Ridge should be a guy that wins the Heritage Cup by knockout. I’m personally still wanting to see that at all.

My Score: 9.1/10

Coverage

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.8.2025

We get to see Alicia Fox in action and a dog collar match! Definitely an odd combination, so let’s see what happens!

Published

on

As I feel like I say every week, the best parts of TNA are on NXT. I really can’t tolerate Dreamer and Delirious’ idea of creative. This shows have been slapdash early 00s MTV humor and nonsense angles. We open the show with Trick Williams, so of course you know he’s gonna be a dick and Hendry’s gonna try and get even.

At least this spawned an interesting concept with the TNA Heavyweight Championship being defended on NXT Battleground. So it’s nice that Hendry and TNA are getting exposure, but honestly it’s only Hendry, and the constant milking on the TNA side of “hearing from Hendry” is making me ill.

I feel like I’ve seen Johnny Gobs all over since Nekrogoblikon came out with new music. Not mad at it, just didn’t have that on my Bingo card.

 

Ratings:

  • Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck – *
  • Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors: Aztec Warriors win via Laredo Driver + Arabian Moonsault – * 1/2
  • Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands: Ali wins via Crucifix Blade Runner – ** 3/4
  • Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks: Victoria wins via Flying Axe Kick – Squash
  • Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury: Maclin retains via KIA – ***

Results:

Hey look, Trick comes out and does exactly what I said. He’s arrogant, he’s basically doing his own version of a Ric Flair promo. I do like the line about having two girls, one named Lexis who drives a Mercedes and Mercedes who drives a Lexus. It’s that right balance of dumb and clever to make me chuckle. Hendry of course comes out with his game face on, security tries, fails, and Hendry gets a measure of revenge.

Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck

Okay even though I don’t mind Xia as a wrestler anymore, Brookside is on commentary and she’s…awful. She’s like an Arianna Grace with no charisma. Her little integrity shtick got lame halfway through the word the first time she said it.

This match goes about how you expect which is why it’s not much to discuss. Rosemary does her usually brawling, biting and using the 5 counts with the Upside Down. But as expected, she tries to use the Brass Knucks, Xia comes off of commentary to stop her from using the weapon, and Lei catches her with Thunderstruck. I guess this was supposed to keep the Xia angle with some heat, but it’s really dumb. I don’t want to see any more of this Angel vs Demon, which one will turn crap. It’s boring, it’s cliche and for babies.

At least Lei Ying Lee is gorgeous and one hell of a wrestler. Hopefully she gets away from Rosemary and Xia soon.

Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors

Laredo and Octagon take early turns on Jason Hotch, Octagon even pulls off some rope acrobatics like he thinks he’s Rey Fenix. Hands try to take a few shortcuts, but the actions stays quick, the Cali crowd is behind the Luchadors. Stereo Tijeras, Five Hole Dive from Laredo into an Asai Moonsault from Octagon. Laredo Driver into Handstand Arabian Moonsault, and Aztec Warriors win handily.

After the fact Ali attacks the Aztec Warriors, Tasha and the Hands are trying to calm down Ali but then the Rascalz run out. Maybe we’re getting an early start to the Trey vs Ali match. 

Image

Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands

Hopefully this is something worth actually typing about instead of WCW Thunder level of rushed throwaway trash.

They trade early chops, but Ali is pissed, no sells Trey and rocks him with a Forearm. Trey tries to Baseball Slide through the legs and roll into a Sunset Flip, but Ali rolls through, comes up with Trey and Powerbombs him moving immediately into Ground and Pound. Ali goes for a Reverse Powerslam, but Trey escapes it, tries to use his quickness, trips up Ali for a second as he goes to the apron and then he catches Trey in the ropes and hits the Draping DDT off the apron. Outside In Neckbreaker from Ali into a Standing Tornillo.

Ali throws Trey into the ropes, Trey tries something but Ali catches him, flips him vertical and then Dragon Suplex looks nasty. Ali heads back to the apron, wants the Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker, but Trey catches him with a Cutter! Trey puts a little Shake Rattle and Roll together, Ali tries to block the last one so Trey hits the ropes and lands a Lionsault. Ali powders and eats a Dive, Trey throws him back in, Meteora! 1-2-kick out! Trey gets a little frustrated but tries a front facelock, they trade cradles, Ali throws him to the ropes, Trey tries that Rewind Tiger Feint, but Ali hits a Missile Dropkick. Ali tells the Hands to finish things but Wentz comes out flying. Ali drives Wentz into the post, throws Trey back in and mouths off to Wentz. When he turns he eats Trey’s Knee Slide Tornado DDT.

Tasha distracts the ref, Hands attack Trey with a Double Choke Bomb on the Apron and Ali kills Trey with Crucifix Blade Runner.

Hardys come out to talk, they get a solid pop from the crowd, but nothing interesting gets said. The old “we let you down” promo and they’re trying to get across a fandom nickname of “Diehardyz” and that’s corny. They punctuate their part before the Nemeths of course come out with some Obsolete and Delete references. Ryan starts talking and gets booed loudly, so that’s nice, they both play in it well. Ryan makes some goofy faces, Nic and him poke fun at the Hardys and the fact that Jeff can’t come to Canada because he’s prohibidabido. 

So Santino comes out, says next week Jeff and Nic will have a singles match, so Matt will get a tag match against the Nemeths with a partner of his choosing. Kind of a stock standard promo, but the Nemeths and Santino made it fun. 

Huh, coming back from commercial there’s a video package from WWE showing the last time Jeff Hardy and Nic Nemeth had a match. 16 years ago. 

Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks

Brittnie is Chris Bey’s girlfriend and Alicia was always one of my favorites.

Victoria clocks Brittnie early, but Brittnie fires back, Victoria gets annoyed, hits her beautiful Northern Lights Suplex Hold for only a two. Victoria drives Brittnie into the corner, Brittinie tries to fight out, but Victoria catches her with a Tumbling Headscissors Take Over and then a Flying Axe Kick. Victoria’s gorgeous self wins, and Victoria looked pretty decent in the squash.

Masha comes out, attacks Victoria, so Tessa makes a save. Santino makes a tag match next week Blanshard and Crawfish vs Slamabitch and a partner of her choosing. Robert Stone overrides Santino and picks her partner for her and chooses Nikkita Lyons. 

Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury

EY sandbags in the corner at the bell and then catches Maclin with an opportune yank of the chain and then starts a little dirty boxing and chain choking. Cardona is out on commentary because there’s a number 1 contender match next week for the International title. EY grinds the chain across Maclin’s face and the bridge of his nose, and he’s bleeding 40 seconds into the match.

Maclin powders but since it’s a dog collar match the jabronis get involved immediately. Maclin is bleeding like his last name is Rhodes, the jabronis get in some pot shots and EY just whips him with the chain, uses the post, just goes for classic deliberately paced hardcore brawl tactics. Maclin does manage to get a small flurry, EY does the Flair Corner Flop, then EY and the jabronis eat a SCUD before we go to commercial.

We come back, Maclin is back to getting murdered, and now all the potential number 1 contenders and either on commentary, the ramp or in the back watching a monitor. Even Mance Warner looks a little concerned and horny at the same time with the blood. Maclin is so bloody he looks like a post explosion scene from The Boys. Maclin fires, whips EY in the ropes, grabs him mid run, Headbutts him a few times, Jumping Thesz Press into the Ground and Pound with some chain whips. Jabronis come in and eat a Busakiu and Backbreaker, EY tries to take advantage but EY eats an Olympic Slam. Another Busaiku for EY, Jar Headbutt connects! EY kicks out at two, then powders but Maclin follows and wraps the chain around his neck and starts throwing EY around by the throat. Dorks fly at Maclin, he deflects them, but EY yanks the chain and Maclin falls off the apron. EY throws him back in, another two count. EY heads to the top, Maclin crotches him, bald Jabroni eats a Powerbomb, hair Jabroni heads a Buckle Bomb. EY slips the Tree, so Maclin puts the jabronis in the corner, Stacked Tag Em and Bag Em, Nerds get Caught in the Crosshairs!

EY sees the chance, kick to the gut, Piledriver! 1-2…KICK OUT! EY calls for the Macho Elbow but Maclin gets up, pulls him off the top with the chain and KIA! Maclin retains!

 

Overall Score: 4/10

A generally disappointing episode. The first hour felt like WCW Thunder written by Meth addicted Racoons. But the second hour starting with Mustafa, turned out to be okay. I’ve always enjoyed Alicia Fox aesthetically and she wasn’t bad in the ring, Mustafa being edgy is cool, Ryan Nemeth is a treasure, Tessa is still great and the dog collar match was decent.

So a mixed bag definitely. Rosemary is honestly useless anymore. She only gets a pop because of the gimmick, but her storylines have sucked, her matches aren’t great and this whole Infantile Sting knockoff of trying to stick to her morals and integrity and not do the mean things. Aztec Warriors are basic lucha stuff with no gimmick beyond the fact they’re luchadors. Lastly, the Trick Flair opening segment was okay at best but really just just paint by numbers.

It’s a sad turn of events when my favorite wrestling program anymore is WWE main roster stuff. Yikes…2025 is weird.

Toni Storm is here!

Or rather, she’s still here given just last night, the TIMELESS AEW Women’s World Champion won a Fatal 4 Way Eliminator. And now she’s in the special box seat “balcony” with mic in hand. Detroit cheers and she blows kisses before saying, “So many men have taken a shot at me in here, I’m feeling like Abraham Lincoln. I will never forget my first. It was messy, it was sweaty, and painful. But I only wanted more. Once a month, once a week, twice a week, I was hooked. But then, it only became more risky. One at a time, then two at a time. And three at a time! Incorporating random objects, all the while being watched by perverts.”

The fans cheer being perverts but then Toni says, “One day, it will not end well for me. It will break my body and soil my soul. But in the end, I know it’s what I was born to do. And if you think I was referring to sexual intercourse, then get your minds out of the gutter!” Toni takes a moment before she continues, “Because the best bang could not compare to fighting for this!” She holds up the title and the fans cheer more! “I am not waiting for a Hayter or a CEO. So next week, line up the next batch of slop tarts, because baby wants to binge!” The fans also like the sound of that! Toni says spit on it and sit on it, and let’s get TIMELESS~!

The fans applaud and Toni takes a bow. Beach Break just got that much bigger, but who will take their shot at The Tramp that is The Champ?

 

Backstage interview with Paragon.

Lexy Nair is with Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly to ask them about the 2 Out of 3 Falls last Saturday. Roddy says that to say they’re disappointed is an understatement. He and Kyle are one of the best teams on this planet, and they thought it’d be like riding a bike. But it has been a bit more difficult than they thought. Kyle agrees that they’re frustrated and disappointed, but what they aren’t doing is taking anything away from themselves. They’re the Paragon and they’re still one of the best tag teams out there. And any other day, any other time, 99 out of 100, Kyle & Roddy win that match.

Cole agrees, and he knows that was tough last week. But they are one of the best teams in the world. There will be plenty of chances to prove that this year. But in step the Grizzled Young Veterans and Zack Gibson says say that again. He can’t believe Paragon has the nerve to stand here sulking and complaining. Honestly, this three are three of the best ever. The problem is, they’ve gone soft! They’ve forgotten what it is to fight for their sport. So any time they’re ready, GYV will remind them what that’s like. Kyle & Roddy say why not. GYV will be the first time that gets stomped on Paragon’s way back to the top!

GYV laugh that off then take their leave. But when and where will Liverpool’s Number One & Mr. Mayhem take on the Savior of the Backbreaker & the Violent Artist?

 

Ricochet VS Angelico w/ Serpentico!

The One & Only just got a big win last night alongside the Young Bucks, but now he looks to get a win on his own. Will Ricochet make Detroit #OuttaThisWorld two nights in a row? Or will tonight belong to Spanish Announce Project’s South African Stud?

The bell rings and the fans rally as Angelico and Ricochet circle. They feel things out, circle more, then Angelico leaves Ricochet hanging by smoothing his hair. Ricochet says ha ha, more bald jokes. Ricochet waistlocks, the fans chant, “He Has Hair!” but Ricochet hammerlocks and snapmares to then ghost pin, TWO! Ricochet taunts Angelico that this is professional wrestling, not modeling. Angelico trips Ricochet to cover, ONE! Angelico has a cording hold and he keeps Ricochet from the ropes. Ricochet wrenches, but Angelico gets the cording hold back! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico arm-drags him to the mat!

The fans cheer more, but Ricochet kips up. Angelico wrangles him back down! Ricochet claws at Angelico but Angelico polishes the bald head! The fans cheer and Angelico keeps on the arm. Ricochet fights up again, but Angelico wrangles him back down! Angelico gives Ricochet more polish, then stands him up to wrench and cording hold. Ricochet throws a body shot, flips up and over, but Angelico switches arms for a modified Cobra Twist! Angelico holds up his hand and the fans cheer, but Ricochet fights free and bails out. The fans boo but then Angelico sneaks up to clamp on shoulder claws!

Ricochet fights back, and he THROWS Angelico to the floor! Ricochet skins the cat, then TORNILLO PLANCHAS! Ricochet takes down Angelico, taunts Serpentico, then goes storming off to grab a chair! Ricochet chases off #SNAKEMAN, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Ricochet gets up on the barrier to soak up more heat, and he even flicks sweat off his bald head! Ricochet puts Angelico in the ring, stalks him to ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Ricochet backs off, and Serpentico coaches Angelico. Angelico sputters but Ricochet brings him up for a snapmare. Ricochet digs his knee into Angelico’s back as part of the chinlock. Angelico endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Angelico is free, runs the ropes, but Ricochet DROPKICKS him down! Ricochet taunts the fans, covers Angelico, TWO! Angelico is tougher than that but Ricochet covers again, ONE! And again, ONE! And again, ONE!!

Ricochet throws a fit and SLAPS Angelico down before arguing with the ref. The ref defends the count, so Ricochet just stomps away on Angelico’s back! Ricochet taunts the fans, goes back to stomp Angelico and kick him around, then he kicks Angelico to the ropes. Angelico rises to BODY BLOW! And JAB! Ricochet staggers back, Angelico fires more shots! Angelico runs, KICKS the backdrop away, then runs again, only for Ricochet to FLAPJACK him off ropes and JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Angelico survives and Collision returns to single picture. Ricochet storms his way to a corner while the fans boo.

Ricochet aims and 450- NO, he has to bail out as Angelico moves! Ricochet comes back but Angelico dodges again, Ricochet hits only buckles! Angelico swings, Ricochet dodges and shoves to TIGER WALL KICK! And SOBAT! KNEE! But Angelico KNEES in return! Ricochet rebounds to V-TRIGGER! ROLLING- NO, Angelico clinches for a LIFTING FLATLINER! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts, Ricochet and Angelico stir, and they rise at 5 of 10. Angelico counters a punch and then fires haymakers! Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but then Ricochet catches the leap!

Angelico fights Ricochet’s clinch with elbows, then whips, but Ricochet reverses, Angelico LEAPING LARIATS! And LEAPING LARIATS again! The fans fire up and Angelico storms up to Ricochet. Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but Angelico reverses back! COBRA TWIST, and the HEAD SLAPS! The fans fire up as Angelico just takes Ricochet to task! Ricochet sputters and staggers around, Angelico kicks and Canadian Racks! YOYO SLAM, into a hammerlock and HALF CRAB! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico gets the other arm! Ricochet kicks with his free leg and has the ROPEBREAK! The fans boo but Angelico lets go.

Ricochet goes to the apron, Angelico storms up, but Ricochet HOTSHOTS him! And then FLICKS the ropes at Angelico to hit down low! Ricochet then springboards and FLYING LARIATS! The fans boo but Ricochet runs for a STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Ricochet just keeps going, dragon sleeper for the VERTIGO!! Ricochet rolls back, locks ‘n’ loads, and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

Ricochet made sure Angelico was done before he got the 1-2-3, and now he gets the mic. “Go ahead. C’mon, I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!” The fans boo and taunt him more and Ricochet says he welcomes it all! Their boos mean NOTHING to him, because he sees what they cheer for. And c’mon, if you cheer for the Detroit Lions, that means you’re dumb as hell. If you were smart, if you had any amount of common sense, you’d be cheering for him! The fans keep taunting him with “They’re Not Bald!” But Ricochet says the Eagles won the Super Bowl, what’re they talking about? They should be cheering him, because he’s been here less than a year and he’s beaten most of the favorites!

Brody King, Will Ospreay, Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, Mark Briscoe, Swerve Strickland, and even Kenny Omega! All of them are AEW legends, and Ricochet beat them all! But wait, speaking of legends… Ricochet points out the living legend, Zach Gowen! Ricochet remembers growing up, watching wrestling, he was a huge fan of Zach Gowen. Huge fan. He remembers when big Brock would beat him up and down the arena, that was awesome. But the thing is, Daddy Gowen used to be on this side of the barriers, but now he’s on the other side of them. What happened, Zach? Doesn’t have a leg in the fight anymore?

Ricochet laughs at his own offensive joke, and then asks where that fire is now. He pushes Zach around, security rushes in and Ricochet says he wasn’t doing anything! They’re just talking! Then he BOPS each and every guard! They like that? Ricochet THROWS one guy into railing! Ricochet does his own commentary as he sends another one into the steel steps! Then he puts the third one in the ring, and says Zach might like this. The fans boo but now Ricochet brings out THE SCISSORS! Ricochet cuts this guy’s hair up! But Zach jumps into the ring!! The fans cheer as Zach snatches the scissors from Ricochet!

The fans cheer as Zach asks what is wrong with Ricochet! Ricochet says sorry, sorry! But then he KICKS Zach’s leg out! And then SPIRIT GUN!! The fans boo even more but Ricochet isn’t done with Zach. He takes Zach’s prosthetic leg away! The fans boo as loud as they can as Ricochet leaves with the leg! Ricochet isn’t just humiliating Zach Gowen, he’s committing a crime! Ricochet holds the leg up as a trophy, then mockingly limps with it. Will anyone ever humble the ego that is #OuttaThisWorld?

 

8 Man Tag: The Don Callis Family VS The Outrunners, Bandido & AR Fox!

Don Callis himself dared Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd to find a friend so they could settle things with Roppongi Vice and the Family, but the Outrunners did better than that! They found TWO friends! Will the Most Wanted ROH World Champion and the Whole Fox’n Show help the Youngest Men Alive humble Callis’ cronies? Or will Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher use them to take out all of their frustrations?

Callis of course joins commentary while the teams sort out. Callis calls tonight “Don Callis Championship Wrestling,” and says Detroit boos him and his Family because it is a city of losers. Kyle Fletcher starts against Bandido and the fans fire up. Kyle and Bandido circle, the fans rally up more, and they tie up. They go around, Kyle puts Bandido on the ropes. The fans rally for Bandido and he dodges the chop to CHOP! Kyle swings, Bandido dodges and headlocks. Kyle powers up and out, Bandido RAMS him, but Kyle rebounds to RUN Bandido over! Kyle flexes, the fans boo, but then Turbo flexes and the fans cheer.

So Kyle BOOTS Turbo off the apron! Kyle runs, Bandido dodges, hurdles, but Kyle leaps over. The fans tell Callis off while things keep moving. Bandido slips around to tilt-o-whirl RANA! And then DROPKICK! Kyle falls against ropes, Trent tags in, and Trent CLOBBERS Bandido! The fans boo, Trent rains down fists, and the ref reprimands. Trent stops to tag in Rocky. Roppongi Vice mugs Bandido, then they DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX! But Bandido lands out, tags AR Fox, and Fox BOOTS Rocky! And BOOTS Trent! Fox goes up, up, and CANNONBALLS! The fans fire up but here comes the Murderhawk Monster!

Archer scoops Fox into the crucifix lift! But Fox slips free, goes Matrix to dodge, and he ENZIGIRIS! Archer tumbles out, Fox whips Rocky to the corner, Rocky runs into Turbo’s BOOT! Truth adds a HAYMAKER, then Fox tags Turbo. Turbo brings Rocky around to wrench and wristlock. Truth tags in as they whip and atomic drop, UPPERCUT HART ATTACK! Trent is back, but he runs into a DOUBLE HIP TOSS! The fans fire up with The Outrunner as they run at the corners! BACK ELBOWS in stereo for RPG Vice! Then Outrunners trade, more ELBOWS in stereo! Then a feed to the BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO! The fans fire up while The Outrunners wind it up!

“Turbo Floyd! You-” Well, Trent gets Rocky out of there, they do NOT give the people what they want. Archer is back and he double choke grips! DOUBLE CHOKE SLAM!! Archer BLASTS Fox & Bandido off the corner, Kyle is there to beat them up, and the fans boo as Archer stomps away on Truth! Archer stands on Truth in the corner and laughs while Collision goes picture in picture.

Archer stalks Truth tot he Callis corner. Rocky tags Archer in and they mug Truth. Archer bumps Truth off buckles, then whips him corner to corner hard! Truth falls to the mat, Archer puts him back in the corner, and Archer looms over him. Truth rises up to fire CHOPS, but archer eggs him on! Truth fires haymakers, then runs, only for Archer to DECK him! Tag to Trent and Trent stalks Truth while Archer TOSESS Turbo! Trent CHOKES Truth, CHOPS him, then talks trash. Trent winds up to CHOP again! Trent brings Truth over to bump off buckles, then he tags in Rocky. RPG Vice mugs Truth, whips him to a corner, and Kyle joins in.

Rocky runs up to ELBOW Truth, then Trent adds an ELBOW of his own! Kyle runs to forearm SMASH! Archer runs in and ELBOWS Truth down! Rocky covers, TWO! Truth survives the onslaught, but Rocky wrenches an arm. Tag to Kyle and Kyle KICKS then arm! Kyle mocks Truth reaching out for his corner, then stomps Truth down. Kyle stalks Truth to the ropes, mockingly holds Truth’s hand out, then scoops and SLAMS him in a snap! Kyle taunts Bandido, then he brings Truth up. Truth fires hands, but Kyle scoops and SLAMS again! Collision returns to single picture and he BLASTS Truth’s corner! Bandido avoids the shot and shouts at Kyle!

Kyle taunts Bandido, but Truth fires hands! The fans fire up but Kyle BOOTS Truth! Kyle suplexes, but Truth counters with a cradle! TWO, and Kyle is up, only for Truth to juke! Hot tag to Bandido! Kyle kicks but Bandido deflects and waistlocks. Kyle switches, shoves and runs up, but Bandido SUPERKICKS! Bandido goes up, up, and TORNILLOS! Down goes Kyle and he bails out! RPG Vice attack Bandido from behind! RPG Vice double whip, Bandido grabs ropes and he BOOTS them back! The Outrunners are in and they stereo ATOMIC DROP! RPG Vice tumble up and out of the ring! Archer runs in, Bandido holds the ropes down, but Archer doesn’t fall for it!

Archer ROCKS Bandido, but the Outrunners DUMP him out! The fans fire up as the Callis Family regroups by the ramp. Fox returns, and he coordinates with Bandido! Whip and pop-up, SUPER CANNONBALL!! The fans fire up as Fox hits a strike! And then The Outrunners form a staircase! Bandido runs to step, step, and ESCALARA CONJILO!! The fans are thunderous as Bandido puts Kyle in! The Outrunners set Kyle up and then wind it up! “Turbo Floyd! You sonova b*tch!” HANDSHAKE DOUBLE ELBOW DROP! Fox adds a SWANTON BOMB! Bandido adds a FROG SPLASH!! Cover, The Family breaks it!

The fans boo but The Outrunners brawl with the Family! Things tumble out of the ring, but Bandido aims at Kyle on the ropes! Bandido deals the hand, BLACKJACK- NO, Kyle switches through! DRAGON SUPLEX, but Bandido lands out! Bandido ducks ‘n’ dodges and tilt-o-whirls, but Kyle stops the DDT to MICHINOKU DRIVER!! The fans are thunderous while both men are down! Kyle and Bandido crawl, hot tags to Fox and Trent! Fox RAMS Trent, goes up, up, and leaps over Trent to somersault and CANNONBALL Kyle! Then Fox wrenches Trent, catches the leg, and FISHERMAN BUSTERS! Archer grabs Fox, shoves him back, but Fox returns to DRAPING DDT!

Fox sees Rocky, Rocky kicks first, then Rocky whips. Fox reverses, Rocky is in the corner, Fox hits an A-LIST LARIAT! Kyle runs up but Fox ELBOWS him away! Fox skins the cat to DROPKICK Rocky and then backwards roll, CUTTER for Kyle! Then Fox avoids Rocky to hit a CUTTER!! The fans are electric and Fox has Kyle on the ropes!

RPG Vice then sits Fox up, wrenches and double pump handle! JACKAL DRIVER!! Cover, Don Callis Family wins!

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!

After the assault and humiliation that we saw earlier tonight, Zach Gowen is going to make his return to wrestling! Will Zach get revenge on Ricochet for taking things too far?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

“So, we’re through the obligatory preamble, casualties on both sides. Last night, you took out my number one lieutenant. Now I could vow revenge and talk about all the things I’m gonna do to Samoa Joe once I get him inside that steel cage. But that would be rather rote, and probably mostly untrue. What do we know? The consensus is Samoa Joe is gonna kick my ass. And yeah, there’s nobody on the planet better at getting their ass kicked than me. The question isn’t whether Joe will beat me up. The question is, how long can he do it? Five, eight minutes? Ten? 20? 25? I’ve got all night.

“I know you don’t think very much of me, Joe, but you are one of the guys that I have genuine respect for. You are the embodiment of a champion. But you’re not the AEW World Champion, I am. And I know that no matter what happens to me inside that steel cage in Chicago, no matter what Hell is put on me, no matter what I am put through in that steel cage, I know I have been through worse. I have been through the kind of Hell, I have weathered the kind of storms, I have faced down the kinds of demons that would keep these kids up at night. So I don’t need to be feared or respected by you or anybody else. I just need you to show up.

“I don’t get along with the rest of the world because I am not like the rest of the world. And believe it or not, next week, there is nowhere else in the world I would rather be than locked inside a steel cage in Chicago with the AEW World Championship hanging in the balance, with the baddest man in pro-wrestling, Samoa Joe. I didn’t build my foundation on sand. When the storm comes through, the only thing that matters is who is the last man standing.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will he ultimately be the baddest man in AEW?

 

Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn VS Lee Johnson w/ Blake Christian!

The Pride of Pro-Wrestling is ready to prove he’s worthy of all the opportunities before him, but that means having others step to the plate. #BigShotty thinks he can get a hit off the 5 Tool Player, but will he be able to go yard? Or will he just get Molly Whopped and sent back to the dugout?

The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. And I am in a really good mood, so y’know what? Billy, throw ’em up! Detroit, throw ’em up! And make some noise!” And they SCISSOR FINGER~! For old time’s sake, Bowens embraces the old gimmick. But will nothing stop Bowens from making himself a contender?

 

The Gates of Agony are here!

Detroit cheers as Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona walk out to the ring, but they grab mics so they can talk. Kaun calls out Bryan Keith & Big Bill. “You think you’re gonna walk through these Gates unscathed, unburned, and redeem yourselves in the eyes of Chris Jericho?” The fans boo and Kaun says, “Hell no, Paradise has to be earned. And these Gates right here? They’re gonna stop you in your tracks.” Liona says, “And this time, we’re not doing it in a parking lot! Y’know why? Because we’re in Detroit! Why not do this right here, right now!?” The fans cheer and Liona tells Big Bill & Bryan Keith, you heard the people! Get out here and fight!

My Thoughts:

A great Collision, but it apparently caught a bit of the Go Home Syndrome. There were quite a few recap packages I skipped but clearly they are working to hype Beach Break for next. Moxley’s newest promo was alright, didn’t really add much, because as I said just last night, Moxley surely finds a way to retain with help from The Death Riders. I will say, it made a lot of sense for the remaining Death Riders to cost Willow. Marina and Willow still have beef, and I’m still hoping on my idea from last night: Shayna Baszler shows up, teams with Marina, we get Shayna & Marina VS Willow & Kris. Let’s up the ante and get another classic Street Fight Tag out of Kris & Willow.

Great promo from Toni Storm to open the night, and good to hear Skye Blue is back. Another Fatal 4 Way Eliminator makes me wonder if one of the mystery entrants ends up taking the loss. There was also that spider during Kris VS Willow, which I believe is a teaser for Thekla. Thekla could easily jump into the Fatal 4 Way and get close to winning, but who knows. And as I said last night, not sure why they’re holding Athena back from doing much of anything right now. With Supercard of Honor now delayed to July to coincide with All In: Texas, Athena should really be getting involved more on AEW TV so people don’t forget she exists.

Very good stuff with Bowens VS Lee, and I appreciate the albeit lazy way they changed Bowen’s logo so that it doesn’t resemble the Shane Taylor Promotions’ STP. Bowens of course wins, but his promo after was pretty much the same as his other ones. At least he did one last scissoring with Billy. Bowens is unfortunately not going to get a title story right now with all the champions preoccupied in something else. Though honestly, I feel like there is a way for Okada VS Bowens to be a great match, and then someone violates the Continental Rules so that Okada loses without really losing. Best way I can think of is Swerve is hunting The Bucks, they go ringside, and since Bucks are associate with Okada, that’s a violation on his part, and it adds more heat to whatever big thing Double or Nothing has planned.

Great stuff from the Don Callis Family in all their matches. I wasn’t expecting a big 8 Man Tag, and I’m a little disappointed Brody King wasn’t one of the participants, but maybe that’s the next phase. Great showing from the Faces, especially AR Fox. Fox is in a similar boat to Bowens where he certainly deserves title opportunities but TK just isn’t seeing how to write it. But between that and the dominance Konosuke & Alexander over Dark Order, it feels like the Don Callis Family get their comeuppance with Hangman & Ospreay winning next week.

Ricochet VS Angelico was rather outta nowhere but it was still a great match. It was also clearly a vehicle so Ricochet could start beef with Zach (Zack?) Gowen and give us a Beach Break match between them for the real deepcut long time wrestling fans. Much like Bowens and Fox, I feel like Ricochet is waiting on a title to be freed up from story so he can go get those titles. Such as Paragon now feuding with Grizzled Young Veterans for a minute, which in a way keeps Adam Cole isolated. TK should’ve just given us Ricochet VS Cole for the fun of it because Ricochet VS Cole would be incredibly fun stuff. They could even revisit their NXT history if they wanted to.

Great stuff with Gates of Agony and Learning Tree, that was much better than last week’s. I really hope this gives us a Tornado Tag match. For that matter, why aren’t we getting that in the story of Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford? Good promo from those teams to hype up… just Anna VS Megan… It’d make Beach Break Collision feel all the bigger but whatever, maybe they feel Ford still isn’t up to speed after that Fatal 4 Way last night. But doing a chaotic tag match could help iron out some of that so that Ford can just focus on what she is good at with the gymnastics and throwing hands.

And awesome stuff with Garcia VS “Dax the Axe” in the main event. And yeah, I didn’t put it in myself, but they’re really committing to that as Dax’s ring name right now. Great to see Menard helping Garcia, and even Nigel standing up for himself against Dax. A “No Contest” result was a little odd but I suppose that’s like saying it is a draw where no one goes over. But with the Faces standing tall, maybe Nigel steps in and teams with Garcia right now for Double or Nothing so that Garcia teaming with Cope is the All In moment.

My Score: 8.8/10
