PLAY BY PLAY
NXT returns a new and improved Capitol Wrestling Center!
Vic Joseph & Booker T welcome us back, and hypes up the card from the main event to the Gentlemen’s Duel, to then plug the recap video package.
Tony D’Angelo sits in the ring at a private table.
The Don has some wine and the North American Championship with him, and the fans cheer him on. Tony says he wanted to come out here, have a big celebration as the NEW NXT North American Champion, and celebrate with the family. Because without the family, he wouldn’t be sitting here today with this title. But he wants to first give a toast to the former champion, Oba Femi. Oba is the longest reigning North American Champion in history, and the man that honestly, did break Tony. Oba is a machine, but Tony needed to win this title. So Tony used Oba’s greatest strength against him: His pride. His pride that he could dominate and break any man that stood against him.
Tony says he baited Oba into thinking he once again broke The Don, and got him right where he wanted him. Tony seized the moment and did the unthinkable by beating Oba! The fans cheer, and Tony smiles. Tony says part of him wants to think this is over. But Tony’s done this long enough to know, far from it. So in the meantime, to Oba. Salud. But speaking of, here comes Oba! The Ruler passes by the roulette wheel on his way to the ring, and Tony stands up, belt in hand. The Family is also there to have Tony’s back as Oba steps between the ropes. Oba says he cannot lie. Tony got him. He did, he really did. Congratulations.
It happened once, but it will not happen again. Because at Halloween Havoc, Oba regains that title, and once again will be The Ruler of NXT! The fans do applaud that. Oba steps away, but then he says, “One more thing. Your little family, yeah? They will not be by your side to help you.” What kind of veiled threat is that? Oba SPINS THE WHEEL! Time to make the deal! And it lands on Tables, Ladders & Scares! Will Oba use this tiebreaker to truly break Tony physically and emotionally once and for all?
Backstage interview with Oro Mensah.
Byron Saxton is with Meta Four’s Main Man, and brings up the Gentlemen’s Duel and its unique rules. Oro wants to have them explained real quick. Byron says first up, you cannot strike the opponent while they have “four points of contact on the ground.” Second, no throwing your opponent over the top rope to the floor. Third, ropebreaks are down from five to a three count. And finally, absolutely NO fighting on the outside. All violations result in disqualification. Wow, pretty wild. What’s Lexis gonna do, though? Who’s he trying to fool? Like he’s not his father’s son. Oro says Lexis is just annoyed he lost at his own game.
But in steps Lexis. That is disappointing to hear. Before last time, Oro said to Lexis, make your father proud. But that would’ve meant cheating! Lexis didn’t cheat, but Oro did. That won’t happen tonight. Tonight will be a fair wrestling match, so may the best man win. Lexis leaves and Oro says he is still not buying it. Has The Drama King turned over a new leaf? Or will Oro be proven right that a cheetah can’t change his spots?
Stephanie Vaquer VS Wren Sinclair!
La Primera has arrived, and she has her in-ring debut against the ambitious yet impulsive member of the No Quarter Catch Crew. Will Wren simply be an example to Roxanne Perez and the rest of the best women’s division today?
NXT returns and #WrenQCC makes their entrance. The bell and the two circle. They tie up, Wren wrenches and hammerlocks but Vaquer squats, uses a leg to break the grip then wrench back. Wren trips Vaquer, headlocks, but Vaquer headscissors. Wren kips free, the fans cheer, but Vaquer gets around to waistlock, wrangle and BRIDGE! TWO! Wren escapes and trips Vaquer to cover, ONE! Vaquer sweeps and covers, ONE! Vaquer keeps on Wren with an armlock but also some hair pulling. Vaquer wrenches, trips and steps through on Wren to then turn her over, DEATHLOCK, move around, bridging cover! TWO!!
The fans cheer as Wren is all tied up and Vaquer flexes. Wren trips Vaquer, and has the arms, CATTLE MUTILATION! Vaquer endures, Wren moves around and around to keep on the pressure! The fans fire up as Wren then shifts into a FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Vaquer endures, fights up, but Wren grinds the shoulder. Wren wrenches, but Vaquer rolls, handsrpings and rolls Wren up! TWO and Wren scrambles away to ropes. Vaquer grins, and eggs WRen on> Wren runs up, Vaquer dodges to SUPERKICK! Vaquer stalks Wren to a corner and scrapes her boot off her face! Roxie & Cora are watching, not so impressed, and then they head out.
Vaquer brings Wren up but Wren fires body shots. Wren whips, Vaquer reverses but Wren susent flips! Vaquer stays up to SCRAPE soles off Wrens’ face! Vaquer runs , to drop a LEG brother! Headscissors, and Vaquer just HAMMERS Wren into the mat again and again! Cover, TWO!! Wren stays in this but Vaquer stays cool. Vaquer brings Wren up, brings her around, but Wren CHOPS! The fans “WOO~” but Vaqquer fires a forearm! Wren fires back, they go back and forth, WRen CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS! Vaquer swings, Wren dodges and runs up to run Vaquer over! Then BASEMENT BULLDOG! Wren fires up and the fans rally!

Vaquer comes back, blocks boots, and DRAPING DRAGON SCREWS! Wren writhes, Vaquer puts her back in the corner, for the METEORA! Vaquer drags Wren up, reels her in, and tucks her in! PACKAGE BACKBREAKER!! Cover, Vaquer wins!
Winner: Stephanie Vaquer, by pinfall
But before The Dark Angel can celebrate, Roxie & Cora attack! The fans boo, but here comes Giulia! The Beautiful Madness dodges Roxie, DECKS Cora, then DECKS Roxie! Cora returns but gets a HEADBUTT! Roxie CLOBBERS Giulia from behind, then she and Cora double whip. But Giulia DOUBLE SHOTGUNS them down! The fans fire up, Giulia helps Stephanie up, and they DOUBLE BOOT Cora & Roxie out of the ring! Stephanie gets a mic. She tells those two it’ll be them VS Stephanie & Giulia, at HALLOWEEN HAVOC! Roxie says bring it! But will she regret disrespecting the international superstars?
Trick Williams talks with Kelani Jordan backstage.
The NXT Champion says, “Well if it isn’t Tricky Two-Time and the first and only, The Standout herself, Kelani, in the same place at the same time.” They looked good with the gold up in the air, didn’t they? Kelani agrees. And even better, that moment will go down in history. But wait, isn’t Trick finding out who he faces at Halloween Havoc tonight? Yeah, he does. He knows it’s a match with The Young OG, who did his thing against Randy Orton last week, “that no good backbiting” Wes Lee, and “that cockroach who will not leave me alone,” Ethan Page. Either way it goes, Trick knows for sure that it’ll go better than before.
What about The Standout? What’s she got cooking? Kelani isn’t sure, but the way this NXT Women’s Division keeps growing, it could literally be anyone, so she’ll let Ava decide. But one thing she does know is that no one does it like Lani. Talk about it! They do a secret handshake while we see The Fatal Influence watching from the background. Jacy Jayne says they need to pay Ava a little visit. Will these three influence the decision for Halloween Havoc?
Brinley Reece and Karmen Petrovic talk in the concourse area.
Brin says Vaquer & Giulia, whoa! Karmen says yeah, she saw, it was- Ashante THEE Adonis steps in with a rose. He apologizes for messing up their match a few weeks ago, Brinley. Adonisly, he got caught up in the moment. By the way, do they know who that was before? The woman in the crowd? Shawn Spears walks over and can’t believe this is how Adonis talks to women. Adonis sighs but Spears says this is disrespectful. They are ladies, who deserve to be treated with respect. The Chair Man takes the rose and is sure Brooks Jensen feels the same way. Brooks takes the rose now, RIPS it up, and the ladies leave.
Adonis asks if there’s a problem. Spears steps aside so Jensen and Adonis can stare down, but Robert Stone hurries in. He says they are NOT doing this here. To Ava’s office, now! Security backs Stone up, and we look at the rose on the ground. Karmen picks up the pieces? Has Adonis’ style somehow worked out after all?
Gentlemen’s Duel: Lexis King VS Oro Mensah!
We just learned the very stringent rules that guarantee no shenanigans or dirty tactics. But then, who proves they’re the better man through and through?
NXT returns and Oro makes his entrance solo given Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson were just in St. Louis for Raw. The bell rings and the two circle.

Lexis headscissors, squeeze tight, but Oro kips free. Oro headlocks, Lexis fights back to his own headlock, and hits a takeover. Oro headscissors now, and he squeezes tight. Lexis fights around, pops free, and the two tie up again. They go around, Lexis puts Oro on ropes but Oro puts Lexis on ropes. Oro lets go at 2 and the two reset.
Lexis storms up, Oro gets around to waistlock, but Lexis wrenches free to wristlock. Oro rolls, and he reaches up to BOOT Lexis from below. Tavion Heights tweets about this match, saying we’ll see if Lexis paid attention to NQCC when going over the ruleset. Oro storms up on Lexis but Lexis UPKICKS! Lexis whips but Oro reverses to SOBAT! Oro winds up, but Lexis is on all fours so the ref says no hitting! Oro didn’t get the rules, and Lexis rolls Oro up! TWO, and Lexis again has all four on the floor.

Oro runs but into an arm-drag! Oro arm-drags in return! Lexis blocks a hip toss to hip toss, but Oro turns that into a takedown! Cover, TWO! Oro runs up, hops up, but Lexis fights him! Oro still MONKEY FLIPS, and then he drags Lexis up. Oro whips, Lexis goes up, but has to adjust. CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Lexis is frustrated but the fans rally up. Oro SUPER PUNCHES! The ref reprimands about closed fists, that’s an unwritten rule of this match. Oro runs, goes up the ropes, but Lexis SHOVES him! The ref reminds Lexis of the No Ring Out rule and Lexis hurries to keep Oro in! Lexis apologizes, that’s old habits!
Oro is upset, but Lexis runs up. Oro blocks a kick, kicks in return, and then whips. Lexis ducks ‘n’ dodges, hurdles, but Oro comes back, DOUBLE CROSSBODIES collide! The fans fire up while both men are down, and NXT goes to break.
NXT returns again and the two brawl up top! Lexis ROCKS Oro and Oro falls back. Lexis adjusts to SWANTON! Cover, TWO! Oro stays in this and Lexis grows frustrated. Lexis drags Oro up, half nelsons and KNEES him low! And again, but Oro blocks! Oro BACKDROPS free! And he dropkicks legs out! Lexis stands, Oro fires CHOP after CHOP after CHOP! MACHINE GUN CHOPS! Oro whips, Lexis reverses, but Oro flips to RANA! Lexis staggers up, Oro clinches to POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Oro drags Lexis up, but Lexis ducks a lariat to half nelson and fisherman!

Winner: Lexis King, by pinfall
A win fair and square, and it goes to The King! Oro can’t believe he got caught, but Lexis offers a handshake. The fans cheer as Oro takes the handshake, and Lexis raises Oro’s hand in return. Have these two buried the hatchet now that Lexis proved he is changing his ways?
Cedric Alexander talks with Je’Von Evans.
“Uncle Ceddy” commends The Young OG on his efforts against Randy Orton. Je’Von says yeah, he really tried out there. But that is some bucket list stuff! Tonight, though, he has to focus on the Triple Threat and getting that title shot. Speaking of titles, Nathan Frazer & Axiom say hey and way to go, OG. That was a hell of a match. Je’Von thanks them for that, and Cedric says Fraxiom should apologize for the tag match they messed up a couple weeks ago. Je’Von says yeah, facts. Fraxiom apologizes, they were just after A-Town Down Under.
But then Wes Lee walks by, and he hopes Je’Von enjoys his 15 minutes of fame. Being in the Triple Threat does not mean Je’Von is ready. That title scene is Wes’s now, so just stay out of his way. Je’Von says honestly, ever since Wes lost his friends, he’s been a little, uh… salty. Just calm down a minute, for real. Wes says when you want to win the NXT Championship, you don’t need friends. How would Wes know? He hasn’t been NXT Championship. Yeah well Wes has had every other title, what’s Je’Von ever had? Oh, well, he just needs two more wins and he’ll be somewhere. That won’t ever happen because he’ll lose to Wes!
Je’Von says he’ll never be like Wes, and Wes says that’s because Je’Von ain’t got the potential to be like him! Axiom & Frazer keep things from going down here, the main event still needs to happen. But will the Young OG be so bouncy, he bounces Wes right out of the picture? Or will the Cardiac Kid crush Je’Von’s hopes and dreams?
The Meta Four speaks.
Lash Legend says Iyo Sky is the Genius of the Sky, and Jakara Jackson says Kairi Sane is the Sky Pirate. They fly high above the clouds and have had success on every level: each former NXT Women’s Champions; former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions; and Iyo was former WWE Women’s Champion. But Meta Four is gonna swat them out of the sky. They don’t care how dangerous Damage CTRL is, because next week, they found ain’t nothing sweet. Miss Jackson & The Bougie Bully eliminate DMG CTRL from the tag title picture, and they’re coming back for Jade Cargill & Bianca Belair. They clack fingernails, but will DMG CTRL make them SKRRR the brakes?
Nikkita Lyons VS Lola Vice!
Guess who’s back, back again. The multi-faceted talent says the “pounce back” is always greater than the setback. Will she finally take over NXT? Or will the Mayor of Vice City tame this Lioness right out the gate?
NXT returns and Lyons makes her entrance. The fans certainly go wild, just call them the Lyons Pride. The bell rings, the fans chant “Welcome Back! Welcome Back!” as the two circle. Lyons and Loa each test the water with kicks, and they each try a little something something. The two reset, tie up, and Lola waistlocks. Lyons throws Lola off, but Lola comes back to BODY SHOT! And SUPERKICK! Lola shakes her hips, but Lyons stands up. The two go again. Lola waistlocks to headlock, but Lyons stays up. Lyons powers up and out, then CLOBBERS Lola! Lyons shows she can shake it, bake it, and quake it, too!

Lola hammers away on Lyons, but Lyons turns things over to hammer back! Lola gets an ARMBAR! Lyons powers up to stack Lola, TWO! Lola has the ARMBAR again, Lyons has the ROPEBREAK! Lola lets go, the fans fire up, and Lola storms up. Lyons ELBOWS Lola, then ROCKS her!
Lyons fires shots from all side, then LARIATS! Lola dodges the next one to SPIN KCIK! KICK! And SPIN- NO, Lyons ducks, lifts, but Lola slips free! Lola fires off LIGHTNING KICKS! The fans fire up, Lola sits Lyons down. Lola soaks up the cheers and jeers, “I’m a Latina~!” HIP ATTACK! Lola snarls, and she KICKS Lyons in the side! Wait, Jaida Parker is here!? The fans fire up but Lola SUPERKICKS Miss Parker down! Lyons SUPERKICKS Lola! Lola tumbles out, the ref keeps Lyons in, HIPNOTIC on Lola!! Jaida puts Lola in after the drive by, and Lyons goes up! Lyons roars, for the VADER BOMB!! Cover, Lyons wins!
Winner: Nikkita Lyons, by pinfall
The Lyons Roar wrecks Lola, but Jaida says you’re welcome. Will Lola and Jaida settle things on their end soon enough?
Ava meets with Stephanie Vaquer & Giulia.
The NXT General Manager congratulates Vaquer on her first NXT win, and says yes, the idea of a tag match, Vaquer & Giulia VS Roxie & Cora? Perfect! But in step The Fatal Influence. Jacy says, “Wow. All they had to do was ask and they get whatever they want?” Jazmyn says in that case, they want a North American Championship match with Kelani. Ava’s gotta love that idea, too, right? Ava says no. These two here actually have valid reasons for facing Roxie & Cora. The Fatal Influence just have a request and so they can talk. Fallon says this is the office spinning things like always. Ava says actually, she is fair.
So if The Influence wants a title opportunity, any two of them can take on Giulia & Vaquer next week. The Influence is stuck, but Ava asks, “How bad do you want it?” Fallon says fine! They’ll do it! FINE! The Influencers storm out, will The Dark Angel & Beautiful Madness use Fallon, Jacy and/or Jazmyn as appetizers for The Prodigy & Generation Jade?
Ridge Holland VS Riley Osborne w/ Thea Hail!
The grudge between Yorkshire Grit and Chase U has NOT been settled, as Ridge has yet to destroy Turbo Terry. Will Ridge finally bury Chase U in the past? Or is there no avoiding a Chase University sized ass kicking!?
NXT returns and Ridge makes his entrance. But then Riley CLOBBERS Ridge at the ramp! Riley gets back in the ring to FLY back out! Down goes Ridge again and the fans fire up! Ridge fires forearms, he pushes Ridge in the ring, and the bell rings. Riley runs up to CALF KICK Ridge down, then CALF KICK again! And SHOTGUN! Ridge ends up in a corner, Riley runs in, and he A-LIST LARITS! The fans fire up, and Riley BULL- NO, Ridge powers out! Ridge whips Riley, Riley goes up, WHISPER IN THE WIND! STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Ridge is tough but Riley keeps on him with forearms.
Ridge whips Riley away, Riley ducks, ducks, and slips around to- NO, Ridge stops the crucifix takedown to AIR RAID CRASH! Ridge throws down hands on Riley, then drags him up. The fans boo but Ridge bumps Riley off buckles, KICKS him in the back, and CLUBS him down! Ridge drags Riley out onto the apron to SLAM him! Ridge runs up to KNEE LIFT!

Ridge says this is what Chase U gets! Ridge storms out, clears the desk this time, and he almost hits Thea with the hood! Ridge drags Riley up, puts him on the desk, and fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” Ridge soaks it all up as he climbs up after Riley. Ridge brings Riley up, Thea right there begging, but wait! ANDRE CHASE IS BACK! Ridge grins as he runs up to meet Chase, but Chase dodges, BOOTS, and rallies with LARIATS!
The fans are thunderous as Chase LARIATS Ridge up and out of the ring! Thea hugs Mr. Chase, and then they both get ready to fight Ridge! Security rushes in to stop this, and Ridge’s rage is boiling! Will Mr. Chase avenge his university himself?
Backstage interview with Tatum Paxley.
Byron Saxton finds Tatum playing with her dolls, and she says he can have this one. He thanks her, and brings up Tatum helping Sol Ruca against Wendy Choo. Did she… Tatum says, “Forget?” Tatum says silly Byron, Tatum never forgets. Tatum didn’t forget that Wendy pretended to be her friend, then played with her dolls, all to stab her in the back. Wendy might’ve forgotten, but Tatum didn’t! Tatum is sure- Wait, OTM interrupts. Jaida says we all saw how she did Lola. And Lola knows has hands, but Jaida is the one on point. Lola is going to learn to- Tatum says rude! Jaida knows she may be playing with Lola right now, but she interrupted Tatum’s time!
Jaida says okay, freak, we don’t doubt Tatum can handle Wendy. But baby girl, Jaida doesn’t play, at all. OTM heads out, and Wendy is lurking in the shadows! Will Wendy give Tatum the sinister slumber party she wants? Will Lola make sure Miss Parker regrets not leaving well enough alone?
Ashante THEE Adonis VS Brooks Jensen w/ Shawn Spears!
The confrontation backstage has been turned into a match! Adonis just wants romance in his life, but will he see that all is fair in love and war? Or will The Chair Man’s follower find that Adonis can be a lover and a fighter?
The bell rings, the two tie up, and they go around in an aggressive collar ‘n’ elbow. Jensen puts Adonis in a corner, gets up on him, but the ref counts.

Winner: Brooks Jensen, by pinfall
Jensen says, “They can’t hold me down!” Are the teachings of Shawn Spears actually paying off? Or is it mostly Spears’ direct influence during the match? As for Adonis, he may have lost this match, but has he won the heart of the black belt princess?
Lexis returns backstage.
And he comes across The NQCC. Lexis says he got a huge win, right down the middle, just like he wanted. He also tells Wren, sorry about that loss, that was rough. Lexis shakes hands with Dempsey, tells them to have a good night. Oh, and one more thing. Maybe now Lexis is ready for one of those Rounds matches? Nah, just kidding. Lexis heads out to the parking lot, and he spots Tony D. Lexis says Tony’s looking sharp, looking dapper. Lexis keeps moving but we stick with The D’Angelo Family. Stacks hopes Tony isn’t worried, seeing the look in Oba’s eyes. Tony says don’t worry, that’s just Oba trying to regain a mental edge before their rematch.
Rizzo asks what Tables, Ladders & Scares even means. Luca says it’s basically anything goes. The real concern is Oba threatening them. Luca knows Tony’s got Oba in a couple weeks, but Luca wants to take Oba on next week so Oba can learn the power of this family. Tony says good on him, get it done. The family heads out, but will Luca just be an appetizer before Halloween Havoc?
NXT Championship #1 Contender’s Triple Threat: Ethan Page VS Wes Lee VS Je’Von Evans!
This match came about because A) All Ego blames CM Punk for his loss in Chicago, B) The Cardiac Kid finally settled things with Zachary Wentz, and C) The Young OG took the fight to The Viper and proved why he’s the future of this company.

Je’Von ROCKS Wes, but Wes rebounds, and DOUBLE LARIATS collide! The fans fire up, and Ethan stands.
Ethan sees the aftermath and he storms up. Ethan stomps away on Wes, he stomps away on Je’Von, and then he drags Je’Von up to scoop and SLAM onto Wes! Ethan drags Wes up, and he suplexes, to GOURD BUSTER onto Je’Von! Wes and Je’Von both sputter, but then Ethan POSTS Wes! Ethan drags Je’Von around, rains down fists, and the fans are torn as he hammers away. Ethan lets off to grab the wrists. RIPCORD POWERSLAM! Cover, Wes breaks it in time! The fans rally up, and Wes fires hands on Ethan! Wes fires shots from all sides, even as he stands. But Je’Von hooks Wes, so Wes ROCKS Je’Von!
Ethan stands, Wes ELBOWS him! Je’Von dodges Wes to SUPER PUNCH Ethan! Wes SUPERKICKS Je’Von! Wes kicks off Ethan to TORNADO DDT Je’Von! Je’Von flounders up to his feet but then falls back over! Wes STANDING SHOOTING STARS onto Ethan! Cover, TWO! The fans are thunderous as this match continues! Wes lines up a shot and he fires hands on Je’Von. Je’Von hits back! Wes fires hands, Je’Von fires back, but Wes KICKS! Je’Von ROCKS Wes! Ethan ROCKS Je’Von! Wes BOOTS Ethan! All three men ROUNDHOUSE! All three men fall and the fans are electric! The ref checks, all three men stir, and this match continues.
Ethan crawls to the apron on one side, Je’Von goes to another corner, and fans want these three to “FIGHT FOREVER!” But someone has to win! Wes sees Ethan go up, so he rolls to SHORYUKEN! Wes then climbs up, CLUBS away, but Ethan HEADBUTTS Wes down! So Je’Von LEAPS up top! SUPER SPANISH FLY!! Je’Von keeps moving, TWISTING KICK on Wes!! Cover, TWO!! Wes survives and shocks Je’Von! The fans are just as shocked because this place is electric! Je’Von drags Ethan up, brings him around, but Wes is also up. Ethan shoves Je’Von into Wes, then he RUONDHOUSES Je’Von!
Ethan Canadian Racks Je’Von, but Je’Von pops free to RANA! Wes is up top, he METEORAS! Je’Von goes up and up, O G CUTTER!!! Cover, TWO?!?! No one can believe Wes survived, but Je’Von won’t stop! Je’Von goes up and up again, but Ethan CLUBS him down! Ethan uses the corner for the crucifix lift, but Wes SUPERKICKS Ethan! Wes climbs up over Ethan to grab Je’Von! But Ethan gets up and under Wes! Wes holds onto Je’Von! SUPER BACK SUPLEX POWERBOMB COMBO!! But Je’Von lands out!? Je’Von runs back up, SUPERKICK! Ethan falls out of the ring! Je’Von sets Wes in the drop zone and climbs!
Je’Von SKY TWISTERS!!! Cover, ETHAN ROLLS HIM! ETHAN WINS!?!?
Winner: Ethan Page, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the NXT Championship)
Ethan bails out of the ring and grabs a mic. He has them cut his music so that he can tell Trick Williams, “I’m not going anywhere! If I have air in my lungs, that NXT Championship is mine. I know you’re watching, get out here, and let’s spin this damn wheel!” Trick makes his way out and the fans chant “WHOOP DAT TRICK!” as hard as they can for the NXT Champion! Ethan spins and we all watch it land on… DEVIL’S PLAYGROUND! Trick says he ain’t scared. He holds up the belt, but then Ethan CLOBBERS him with a stage light!! Ethan holds up the belt and says Trick’s about to see the devil inside him! Will All Ego be all evil if it means getting the title back?
My Thoughts:
A great NXT here, and great new look for the Performance Center. Hard to say if it’s really bigger inside, but they did great with the new silver ‘n’ black aesthetic. And we got started on the Halloween Havoc build, but something just seems a little off about each part. Tony’s celebration wasn’t much before Oba interrupted it, but of course they’re having their rematch since things are 1-1. Oba said the family wouldn’t be there for Tony, but a Halloween themed Tables, Ladders & Chairs match doesn’t fit that. A cage match would. But perhaps, with how Luca wants a match with Oba, Oba’s just going to demolish Luca and Stacks in 1v1 matches so that Tony only has Rizzo in his corner.
Vaquer VS Wren was very good, with Wren getting to show her stuff, but maybe a little too much of her stuff when you consider Vaquer is a former CMLL Women’s World & Women’s Tag Team Champion, simultaneously, and was then a NJPW Strong Women’s Champion on top of that. Vaquer of course won, and of course Roxie & Cora attacked her. Giulia therefore of course made the save, but I’m a little surprised we’re making the tag team match for Halloween Havoc and not a title match. Fatal Influence of course wants their match with Kelani, but I feel like they’re eating the loss to Giulia & Vaquer so Giulia & Vaquer can have momentum going into Halloween Havoc.
But even with the Influence about to eat a loss, one of them is surely going after Kelani for the title, maybe even on Halloween Havoc given Kelani is on the poster. Speaking of, Ethan Page is on the poster, so that’s why they made him the #1 contender again. I was really hoping it was either of the other two, but with that promo with Wes, Je’Von and the others, that was a sign they were going to have their own feud first. The Triple Threat was awesome, practically a PLE match in itself, and Ethan stealing the win from Je’Von is a great detail all on its own. Trick VS Ethan in a Devil’s Playground match does make for a great blowoff, but I hope they don’t take the title off Trick so soon after giving it back to him.
As for non-PLE build, we got a good promo from Lash & Jakara calling out Damage CTRL, as I figured would happen. As I put for Raw last night, I hope this all leads to every brand having someone fighting for the Women’s Tag Team Championships at Survivor Series. Lash & Jakara for NXT, DMG CTRL for Raw, and Chelsea & Piper for SmackDown all going after Jade & Bianca as the champions, that’d be some great stuff. Lexis and Oro had an awesome “Gentlemen’s Duel” match, I actually appreciate how those rules change things up while also giving story to Lexis’ Face turn. Lexis winning was also a good move, as it does keep that Face turn going, and maybe Oro comes around on seeing Lexis is trying to make up for his past.
Great match from Lyons and Lola, but I should’ve figured Jaida would cost Lola. Lyons still gets a solid return win, and hopefully she can keep her legs healthy so she can make a run at the gold. I also appreciate that they’re keeping us aware of story going on in the NXTNA exchange as it goes the other direction. It was a Six Woman Tag in which Sol got the pin on Wendy and that Tatum had to save Sol from a Wendy sneak attack. Good stuff with the interview with Tatum being interrupted by Jaida to plug both stories at once, and we’ll get some great grudge matches out of Jaida VS Lola and Tatum VS Wendy.
Great stuff with the Chase U story, as Riley takes the fight to Ridge but still loses. Andre Chase had a great return here to save Riley, and I wonder if Ridge VS Chase in the blowoff makes it to Halloween Havoc. If not, they can still have an awesome grudge match on the NXT after Halloween Havoc, and really give this a big moment for Chase U to stand tall again. And then, I can’t believe I had it right about this Ashante THEE Adonis story. He’s been looking for love, and I do appreciate someone was criticizing his “pickup artist” style, but kinda funny that it was Spears. Adonis VS Jensen was a really good match, and Karmen being the one who is into Adonis is a bit surprising. But good win for Jensen, he could be slow burning his way to a title story, maybe get there by like Royal Rumble season at earliest.
My Score: 8.8/10

Andrew’s TNA LIVE! iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.20.2025
So the first live episode got fairly positive praise from everyone; will this continue the trend?
Filming at Full Sail seems to have set the stage nicely this week! Going into a Live episode we got Moose and The Hardy Boyz on NXT, as well as Jordynne Grace’s involvement with Steph and Giulia giving a little shine to TNA happenings since she’s newly WWE.
This episode should be interesting, we finally see Lei Ying Lee (fka Xia Li) back in action, Rascalz take on Tyson and Tyriek, Tessa should be seeing some action as well…so generally interesting happenings for the second Live iMPACT! of 2025. Let’s see how this one goes down!
No matter where @ManceWarner and @stephdelander go, @TheSamiCallihan WILL FIND THEM!

Results:
Oh yeah, and another Hendry concert is…cut off by a commercial, LOLTNA. First Hendry is cut off by AXSTV’s new Anime Hour bumper, and now Primo and Epico are showing up in TNA. I definitely didn’t have this on my BINGO card. The crowd starts chanting “Where’s Carlito”, which they do acknowledge and play off of well. Oh they’re using their shoot names of Orlando and Eddie now…but before they attack the lights go out and we get another guitar strum! ELIAH/ELIAS/EZEKIEL/EBENERZER/EMERY/EL VAGABUNDO – shows up to back up Hendry. Okay I can apologize away the redundant concert since it played into an Elijah debut. The crowd is immediately popping and chanting “This is Awesome” 10 minutes into the show.
Tyson & Tyriek w/Wes Lee vs The Rascalz w/Ace Austin
Treehouse bros take it to the bigger men quickly, a few fast dives, a little MCMG style tandem strikes, Tyson fires and tries to take them out but they Low Bridge him. Tyriek comes in and they try similar things but Tyriek manhandles them both and throws them out of the ring, Trey is the first one back up and Tyriek and Tyson take his damn head off with his Corkscrew Running Euro Upper. Trey finally manages to flip out of the manhandle, tags in Wentz and Wentz goes for the hot and spicy cleaning house spot. Corner to Corner Knee Lifts for both big men, a Rolling Snapmare, into a Superkick for Tyson and Standing Shoot Star on Tyriek but only for two because Wes feints like he’s going to interfere.
Tyson and Tyriek pull off a tandem Assisted Backdrop Driver, but Wentz breaks it up, Tyson gets knocked out, Wentz hits the Tornillo, Wes tries to interfere again after Trey gets perched on the corner buckle but Ace runs around and trips Wes at the last second causing him to faceplant on the apron, Trey hits the Meteora, Wentz hits a Swanton from the other side of the ring and Trey gets the pinfall victory.
It was fast paced, all gas no brakes, but it didn’t overstay its welcome, so it was pretty fun all things considered.
After the match Wes grabs a mic, complains a little but challenges them to a 6 man match as Sacrifice. So we’re THAT’S where we’re getting the expected 3v3.
Fir$t Cla$$ comes out with an entourage of hot chicks and probably influencers or something. The “First Class Penthouse” , Gabby AF, Mafiosa Valentina, and Carolina are apparently known in their own way. Gabby I know was the awful one who did something for Impact a last year and sucked, but she’s part of the Busted Open Network I believe so that’s why she’s around. Two of them look like Noelle Foley and Frank the Clown…oh they actually are. Look at that. I do love KC Navarro as the Hype Man, they have this whole set up of AJ being mad that they haven’t gotten more Tag Title shots, so TNA placated him with his own Piper’s Pit and he’s *pregnant pause* totally happy with that. He says he loved Piper and hated Hogan before it was cool.
This is actually quality content and AJ is cutting a nice promo in this segment. They introduce their first guest, the greatest performer in TNA history, many whole say he’s Phenomenal with a whole lot of style….it’s A-J-Francis.
.@AJFrancis410 is GOING OFF!

Lei Ying Lee vs Rosemary
Things were slow until Rosemary took her into a corner quickly, hit the Upside Down, and we get a lot of Lei trying to avoid Rosemary’s offense. Rosemary goes for a Spear in the corner and Lei forward rolls, starts connecting with a bunch of right hands, backs Rosemary into the corner, goes for 10 Count Punches, pulls her out, Airplane Spin TKO for only a two count. Rosemary tries As Above So Below, Lei shrugs it off, Rosemary tries to go after Lei anyway and eats Thunderstruck! Lei Ying Lee wins!
After the match Rosemary catches Lei on the ramp and hits the Green mist in the eyes. Match was far too short and so many of Lei’s set up moves look better than her finish. We’ve seen Kofi Kingston do it for years so it’s not bad, just the current Knockouts Division are awful and don’t take the move well.
Eric Young and the jabronis come out, EY cuts a very basic power crazed psycho kind of promo, gets the “What” chants from the crowds. EY is trying to recruit Maclin even though Maclin made his line in the sand last week. EY tries to spin it as maybe he took out Josh FOR Maclin instead of in spite of his trust. This really doesn’t seem interesting at all, but that’s probably because I hate the two Jabronis EY is with.
NoDQ Match: Leon Slater vs JDC
I really don’t have any interest in Slater. He’s got no personality beyond “flippy guy with a British accent”.
Dango immediately powders, grabs a chair and goes to swing on him but misses. So Leon is making JDC look dumb by dodging the post chop, using the chair to shield himself from a punch by JDC, and then clapping Dango’s fingers between the chair. So typical System match, look inept for the first few minutes, then take advantage of something to take over. Oh look, Leon takes too long setting up the table, Dango gets in a few pot shots, tries to whip him into the table but Leon leaps over it, and then leaps back over to clobber Dango. Dango is still trying to recover so Leon hits his over the corner post con hilo, and the crowd appreciates it but I’m not interested. Leon panders to the crowd after the big spot and then eats an X-Plex into the chair from Dango.
JDC throws Leon back in, goes for a pinfall that’s only a two and we cut to a commercial. Coming out of the commercial JDC is in control with a Kendo Stick until he isn’t, Leon counters and takes the keno stick, brutalizes Dango a few times then comes off the ropes with the kendo shot for 2. Leon goes for another table, and again, at least the crowd is receptive to this match. Leon sets it up, looks for something off the apron but Dango stops him first until he eats a dropkick to fall onto the table, Leon hits the Swanton 450 through the table on the outside. Does it look cool? Sure. Do I care about dumbass moves? Nope.
Oh thankfully the rest of The System comes out to stop the pinfall, Shield Bomb Leon through the first table, and roll him back in for Dango to win.
The Hardy Boyz come out to try and make the save, but the numbers are against them, so Oba Femi’s music hits! Oba cleans house but doesn’t get his hands on Moose, so they’re at least building the eventual clash between Moose and Oba.
The crowd starts a “Tessa, we comin for you” chant before she even starts talking. Tessa is actually playing off the crowd well, Santino’s music hits and Tessa thinks he’ll help her out with the crowd and Santino calls bullshit basically. Santino says if Tessa doesn’t wrestle next week, she’s fired and Masha’s music hits. Masha decides to step in for Tessa’s enhancement talent match.
Masha Slamovich vs Mila Moore
Jobber tries to attack Masha early but Masha stops her, rocks her and Requiem ends the match.
Masha stares down Tessa, and then Cora Jade attacks from behind and hits Jaded.
Ryan Nemeth comes out to his Abyss music remix. What will Mokuba say today? “MYYYY BIIIGG BBRROOOOTTHHHEEEEER” he repeats at least 4 times and it’s hilariously cringe. He announces that Nic will return at Sacrifice, he literally just came out to give a PSA.
Elijah & Joe Hendry vs The Colons
Hendry starts with Eddie, after a brief tie up it seems like Hendry reads the room and points at Elijah and the crowd wants him in. So Joe tags in Elijah, a little back and forth, Shoulder Tackle from Elijah, Rope Walk with Elijah lays out Eddie and a tag to Joe allows for a quick tandem knockdown, but Eddie powders as the Walking and Talking Duo hold the ring going into the final commercial break.
We come back and Hendry is bouncing Orlando off the ropes as he return a strike, but Orlando is obviously losing, eats a Euro Upper, and then gets walked around in the Stalling Suplex for posterity. Eddie tries a sneak attack but gets caught and Sack of Shit, into Kip Up, turn and then Orlando with the ambush! A few quick short cuts and an Irish Whip/Dropkick combo gives the Colons a near fall. Hendry does get locomotion variation cradles, but eats a Dropkick to stop the attempt at momentum. Orlando stays on Joe, but Joe finally starts to fire up as the crowd starts to get behind him. Euro Uppers make some space, but a Snapmare says no.
Eddie gets tagged in and a quick Leg Sweep into a Front Chancery keeps Eddie in control. As Joe tries to get back up, Eddie turns it into a Guillotine, but finally the Suplex counter connects for Hendry! Simultaneous tags! Elijah bulls over Orlando, catches a Leap Frogging Orlando with the Manhattan Drop as Orlando retreats to a corner, Stinger Splash into Spinebuster for two. Elijah tries to keep up the attacks but Orlando finds a few ways to make space, launches himself from the middle rope and eats the Jumping Knee! Eddie breaks up the pinfall, Hendry takes Eddie out and Elijah hits the Tombstone Piledriver for the win!
Overall Score: 6/10
Well there were more live hiccups than the first episode, and this felt both more epic and less epic at the same time. Elijah and the Colons debuting was a nice way to kick things off, Oba Femi showing up for the save was fantastic. There were a few decent matches, but also a lot of really short and rushed matches. Tessa played off the crowd well, but Masha really is useless on the mic. Lei Ying Lee needs to framed stronger, her matches have done nothing to show off her ability. It just proves that the Knockouts don’t know how to sell a kick to the head because they all take it in the shoulder and fall in corny ways.
Viva La Sam could be something fun if the next 3 weeks are just hand cam footage of him being like “I’m Sami Callihan and I’m gonna kick Mance Warner’s ass”, Elegance Clique getting the rematch with a stipulation is nice to see and while I like Fir$t Cla$$, that segment went a little long for a cornball swerve payoff. It’s one thing to placate the Influencer squad especially when we’ve seen Logan Paul and Ishowspeed do so well in WWE…but these are like Z Tier Influencers that no one cares about. These kind of dorks stream on Kick because they aren’t relevant enough for Twitch, not because they chose Kick over it.
So yeah, the low lights were pretty low, and the highs were a little fleeting, but at least they were pretty fun. Not a bad show, just clunky with noticeable issues and Masha shouldn’t be allowed to speak English anymore. She’s such a charisma vacuum when she’s not rambling in Russian.

Fuego Del Sol VS Wheeler Yuta!
Lucha night opens with a hot start as the Fire of the Sun returns to ROH, but so does The Decoder! Will Fuego Del Sol get one up on a former ROH Pure Champion turned current AEW World Trios Champion? Or will Yuta do the Death Riders proud in Houston?
Houston cheers on the Texas star, and Fuego offers the Code of Honor. Yuta reaches out, but then SLAPS Fuego! The fans boo and the bell rings, Yuta slips around to CLUB Fuego down! Yuta mocks the fans cheering on Fuego, then scoops him for a SLAM and SENTON! The fans boo but Yuta brings Fuego up. FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO, but Yuta holds onto the leg! Yuta taunts Fuego, but Fuego kicks at him! Yuta lets go and the fans rally up. Yuta runs up, Fuego ELBOWS him away, then goes up, up and FLYING RANAS! The fans fire up as Fuego then DROPKICKS Yuta down!
Yuta staggers up, Fuego SLAPS him! But Yuta LARIATS in return! The fans boo but Yuta rains down fists! And then stops, to rain down more fists! The fans boo but Yuta soaks that up while he “kicks dirt” on Fuego. Yuta stands Fuego up, CHOPS him, then has him in a corner. Yuta CHOPS Fuego again, the fans boo, but Yuta whips corner to corner hard! Fuego staggers forward, Yuta says they ain’t done yet. Yuta whips Fuego to the corner again, then FLAPJACKS on the rebound! Yuta adds a basement DROPKICK! The fans boo but Yuta soaks up heat. Yuta hits a spinning toehold, then has a DEATHLOCK!
Fuego endures and Yuta mockingly asks if he’ll give up. Fuego refuses to give in, and he SLAPS Yuta! So Yuta bridges and puts on more pressure! Yuta shows off by not even using his hands, but Fuego fights his way to the ROPEBREAK! Yuta lets go at 4, and he reminds the ref, “I have ’til five!” The fans boo Yuta parodying Bryan Danielson, then Yuta kicks Fuego around. Yuta eggs Fuego on, so Fuego ROCKS him! And ROCKS him! And again, and again, and again! But Yuta gets under the big haymaker! Yuta back suplexes, but Fuego lands out! Fuego dodges Yuta to then springboard QUEBRADA! Down goes Yuta!
The fans fire up as Fuego kips up and SUPERKICKS! Yuta sputters, Fuego runs and STEP-UP DOUBLE STOMPS! The fans fire up again as Fuego climbs a corner! Yuta stands, Fuego MISSILE- NO, Yuta gets under and comes back, BUSAIKU KNEE! Cover, Yuta wins!
Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall
Another thing he took from The American Dragon is that big knee, and Yuta takes the victory. Yuta sits Fuego up, and thinks about Hammer ‘n’ Anvil elbows, but he decides not to. Because he gets an even more sadistic idea! Yuta looks under the ring, and he brings out a steel chain! Yuta threatens the ref, then he goes to Fuego! The fans boo but Yuta hooks Fuego’s legs up, then uses the chain to go up, up and away, ROMERO SPECIAL!! Yuta taunts Fuego but Fuego is coughing up blood! Yuta lets Fuego go, the fans boo, but Yuta mockingly gives the Code of Honor handshake. Yuta no longer has honor, but will someone find a way to humble him?
Rachael Ellering VS Abadon!
The Queen of Strong Smile is feeling good being in Houston, ready to bring that Comet energy. However, she’s up against the Living Dead Girl, who brings a very different vibe. Will Rachael learn why everyone fears Abadon? Or will Rachael’s smile see her through?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, but uh, Abadon doesn’t let go. Rachael tries to get free, and now it is a tug-o-war. The fans rally, Rachael reels Abadon into a headlock, but Abadon BITES Rachael’s hand! The ref reprimands, Abadon lets go, and Abadon doesn’t get what’s wrong. Abadon runs up on Rachael but Rachael gets around to waistlock. Abadon switches, but Rachael goes to ropes to buck the O’Conner! Rachael CLOBBERS Abadon, but Abadon sits up! The fans rally, Rachael is frustrated, and then runs up. Abadon gets around, trips Rachael, then runs to basement dropkick! Rachael flounders to a corner and the fans rally again.
Abadon aims from a corner, runs in at Rachael, but Racahel ELBOWS Abadon away! Abadon says nuh-uh, comes back, but runs into a BOOT! Rachael runs and UPPERCUTS Abadon down! The fans fire up and Rachael aims from a corner. Rachael calls for the “SQUISH~!” and runs up, SENTON onto knees! Abadon avoids disaster and stalks Rachael to the apron. Abadon CLUBS Rachael, pushes her onto the apron, and springboards for a GUILLOTINE LEG DROP! The fans fire up and Abadon pushes Rachael into the ring. Abadon runs corner to corner for a METEORA! Abadon pushes Rachael to a cover, TWO!
Abadon is annoyed but brushes it off. Abadon drags Rachael up, but Rachael fights the suplex! Rachael wrenches out, trips Abadon, and high stacks, ONE!! Rachael ROCKS Abadon, then tries again. FISHERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up for the “MD Collapse” and Rachael aims again. SQUISH~ SENTON hits! Cover, TWO! Abadon survives and Rachael is a bit surprised. Rachael throws off the headband, double checks her teeth, and the fans duel. Rachael CHOPS Abadon at the ropes, then ROCKS Abadon with a forearm! Rachael whips but Abadon blocks! So Rachel CHOPS again! Rachael whips, Abadon grabs ropes, and laughs!
Rachael runs up, Abadon ELBOWS and CUTTERS! Then BLACK DAHLIA!! Cover, Abadon wins!
Winner: Abadon, by pinfall
Abadon continues to be terrifying, as well as victorious. Will the ROH Women’s Division, and especially the champions, have to watch their backs?
Backstage interview with Jacked Jameson.
Lexy Nair is with the former Iron Savage, and he’s counting his abs. She brings us back to a few weeks ago when he walked up to Griff Garrison, Preston Vance & Cole Karter in hopes of forming a group with them. Then in Jacksonville, Jameson actually interfered in their match on their behalf. The question is, what’s going on here? Jameson says those are his boys! His guys! His dudes! Jameson went out there, helped them, it was huge! It was awesome! Speaking of, the boys walk in! Vance tells Jameson that they’ve heard his offer, they loved what he did in Jacksonville, and tonight is a big match and… They’d love if he was a part of it.
So then, it’s official! They got him some Frat House gear! But first… he has to do something. Yeah, sure! Anything! Vance, Griff & Karter pour all of their drinks into one red Solo cup, and Jameson asks what’s in it. The boys say don’t worry about it. Jameson says don’t have to tell him twice. He chugs the concoction, and he is PUMPED! The Frat House is now four men strong, and Jameson says after tonight, party at the Frat House! Vance tells Jameson that one thing about them: win or lose, they booze! The Frat boys head out, Lexy can finally breathe from whatever was in that cup, and it’s time to see if Jameson passes the test!
12 Man Tag: The Premier Athletes & The Frat House VS Top Flight, The Outrunners & The Von Erichs!
Instead of “Smart” Mark Sterling, Tony Nese has the mic to tell Bobby Cruise to shut up, “no one wants to listen to your stupid voice.” Nese then tells the “fat boys and fat girls” of Houston, Nese & Daivari couldn’t think of a better partner for this match than an athlete that makes every single one of them put to shame! Yes, it’s SMART MARK himself! Wait, seriously? Sterling takes the mic to say that’s right, he is still here to make sure that the losers of Texas can take part in their winning cheer. So please, get this right. When he says, “Athletes,” you say, “Rule!” NOTHING ELSE! Hands in, boys. Ohhh…! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Gottee!
But with that, Dante & Darius Martin enter, accompanied by Leila Grey. Then Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd enter, and last but not least, Texas’ own, Marshall & Ross Von Erich! The massive teams sort out, and Darius starts against Nese. The fans rally up and Darius circles with Nese. Nese says wait, wait! He knows what the fans are here to see. Nese flexes, but the fans boo. Nese shouts, “ATHLETES!” The fans respond, “SUCK!” Nese and Darius circle, but then Nese kicks low! Nese bumps Darius off buckles, then tags in Daivari. “We’ll show you who sucks!” Nese & Daivari fire hands in the corner while the fans boo.
The ref counts, The Premier Athletes stop, and they both shout, “ATHLETES!” Again, the fans say, “SUCK!” Daivari tags Griff and they mug Darius.

Winners: Top Flight, The Outrunners & The Von Erichs, by pinfall
Everything’s bigger in Texas, and that includes this win as the super team everybody loves stands tall! But with The Von Erichs holding gold with Dustin Rhodes, will The Sons of Texas soon be everyone’s top priority?
MXM Collection speaks.
ROH Media found Mansoor & Mason Madden after their loss at ROH Global Wars: Australia, but they still had their remodeled ROH World Tag title belt. As such, they act triumphant and victorious because they “successfully defended” their ROH World Tag Team Championship. Because as you can see, they still have the belt! Shoutout to Dustin Rhodes, he is a great fellow tag team champion, he really tested MXM. But then they ran away with this here title, and there is nothing anyone can say about it! Fingertip touch and MXM heads out, but they do know possession is NOT nine-tenths of the law in ROH, right?
Billie Starkz VS Hyan!
As if tensions weren’t already high between these two, Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths is being belittled because she lost to Harley Cameron on the Jericho Cruise while The Fallen Goddess is still ROH Women’s World Champion after beating Alex Windsor in Australia. The Athena World Tour returns home to Texas, but will Billie make “Boss” proud? Or will even disappointment be bigger in Texas?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the fans rally up for Hyan. Billie is annoyed, the two tie up, and Billie wrenches to a wristlock. Hyan cartwheels, wrenches to a wristlock, but Billie rolls, rolls back, then trips Hyan. Billie flexes, the fans are torn, but then Billie throws Hyan down by her hair! Billie talks smack on Hyan, Hyan runs up, but Billie dodges to waistlock and shove. Billie then bypasses Hyan to sunset flip. Hyan rolls through, but Billie basement ENZIGIRIS! Billie then drags Hyan up to waistlock. Hyan fires elbows, runs to ropes, but Billie holds on! Billie CLUBS Hyan’s arms from the ropes, to STRAITJACKET GERMAN!
Billie scowls, then she stalks Hyan to the corner. Billie stomps a mudhole in, but the ref counts. Billie tells him to back off! The fans boo, but Billie asks, “What do you want from me!?” Billie runs in, but Hyan dodges and Billie POSTS herself! The fans fire up, Hyan storms over, and Hyan brings Billie up to suplex high and hard! The fans fire up and Hyan feels that energy! Hyan runs to SPLASH in the corner! Hyan keeps moving, but Billie ELBOWS her away. And BOOTS her! Billie goes up, Hyan stops the boot, but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! Billie goes up top, leaps, but Hyan gets under! Hyan ELBOWS Billie, cravats to KNEE and KNEE SMASH!
Hyan hits a BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Billie stays in this, it’s why she’s the inaugural ROH Women’s TV Champion. But she sits up into a CHOP! Hyan CHOPS again, and again, but Billie blocks! Billie scowls, and then she ROCKS Hyan again and again! Billie has Hyan in the corner, fires more shots, but the ref counts. Billie stops at 4, then backs up just to run up, HEEL KICK! Billie then puts Hyan up top, Electric Chair Lifts, and she tucks Hyan in for a DRIVER!! Cover, Billie wins!
Winner: Billie Starkz, by pinfall
Well, if Kenny Omega uses a One Winged Angel, was that a Two Winged Angel? The bottom line is Billie is back in the win column, but will she ever fight her way out from under Athena’s tyranny?
ROH World Television Championship: Komander w/ Alex Abrahantes VS Lee Johnson w/ EJ Nduka!
After failing to finish the Proving Ground match in under ten minutes, the Commander of the Skies has owed Big Shotty this title shot. Will Komander get the job done now that there’s a thirty minute time limit? Or will Lee prove this is all too easy?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is really the star of ROH TV!
The Code of Honor is not upheld as Lee leaves Komander hanging. The bell rings, the fans rally for Komander, and the two circle. Lee chuckles, tells Houston to calm down and shut up, then he ties up with Komander. Lee arm-drags, but Komander holds on. They stand, Lee waistlocks, Komander switches, but Lee switches.

The fans fire up, Komander builds speed, but EJ stands in the way! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Lee slides in and CLOBBERS Komander! The ref says this is EJ’s last warning, but Lee says Komander is nothing! Cover, TWO! Lee is frustrated and he drags Komander up. Lee bumps Komander off buckles, then brings him around to fire body shots. The fans rally, the ref counts, but Lee stomps away on Komander. Lee digs his boots in, but steps off at 4.
Lee storms back up on Komander, brings him around, and whips him corner to corner hard! Komander bounces off buckles, Lee shouts, “You’re NOTHING!” Lee covers, TWO! Lee is frustrated, but he rains down fists! The fans rally with “SI SE PUEDES!” Lee hammers away, then lets off to talk trash. Lee drags Komander up, TOSSES him to the outside, and EJ stays back. Lee taunts Houston, the ref watches EJ closely, but The Judge defends his own innocence. Lee goes out the side to fetch Komander, and he CLUBS Komander down! Lee puts Komander in the ring, drags him up, and snapmares for a chinlock.
The fans boo Lee while Komander endures, but Lee says Komander is still nothing! Abrahantes rallies the fans for Komander, and Komander fights up to his feet! Komander throws body shots, but Lee wrangles Komander back down! “This is your guy? This is too easy!” The fans boo, then they rally back up. Komander rises, fires body shots and forearms, and he CHOPS! The fans fire up with Komander as he fires even more shots! Komander runs up at the corner, but Lee puts him on the apron! Komander BLINDSIDE LARIATS Lee! Komander goes up, but Lee goes out! Komander hops down, Lee SUPERKICKS him!
Lee huffs ‘n’ puffs and reels Komander in! Canadian Rack, but Komander slips free! Komander scopos, Lee slips free, and Lee CLUBS Komander! The fans boo but Lee suplexes, but Komander lands inside! Komander catches Lee in the ropes and fires KNEE after KNEE! Komander UPPERCUTS, then ROCKS Lee, and he runs side to side! RANA-DRIVER!! A rough landing for both men, but the fans rally up even harder! Komander sits up, Lee follows, and both men stand. Komander fires forearms and CHOPS! And then another!

Lee stops Komander, runs for a corner, but Komander RANAS Lee into buckles! Komander mule kicks, SUPERKICKS, then runs, but into a DROPKICK! Lee shouts, “I am not playing with this guy!” Lee hauls Komander up, reels him in, and lifts, but Komander SPINNING POISON-RANAS!!! Cover, TWO!!!
Lee survives and Komander is stunned! Houston rallies behind him again and Komander rises back up. Komander hurries to the corner and back up top! Lee sputters, but he manages to trip Komander up! Lee rises up, he fires hands on Komander, but Komander fires body shots! Komander SHOVES Lee, Lee backflips through! Lee comes right back! SUPER DUPER PLEX!! And he rolls through, to the outside? BRAINBUSTER to the floor!! EJ is fired up and the fans lose their minds! The ref checks both men, and somehow they’re both okay to continue. Lee and Komander stir while the ring count begins.
Both men are down at 5 of 20, then 8. Lee staggers up at 9, and he grabs Komander’s leg to SLAM it against the LED barrier again and again! Then he KICKS the leg! The ref reprimands, finish this in the ring! Wait, EJ has the title belt! The ref spots that, tells EJ to back off, but then Abrahantes snatches the belt from EJ! The fans cheer, EJ storms upon Abrahantes, but Lee puts Komander in the ring. Lee snarls while Komander unties his boot. Komander is getting pressure off the bad ankle, but Lee has him by the other leg. Komander ENZIGIRIS, but that was the bad foot! Komander writhes, but Abrahantes helps with the boot.

Komander puts Lee in, hurries back up the corner, and the fans rally as hard as they can! Komander tightrope walks, and CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, KOMANDER WINS!
Winner: Komander, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)
Even with all that damage done by Big Shotty, Komander shows the grit of a champion and pulls out the victory! Will he still find ways to win, no matter the odds?
Red Velvet speaks.
When it comes to her by-any-means-necessary way of winning, The Chef knows we all want to know “Why? Why? I have been on a roll lately. The hottest of my career. Why? Why? I’m starting to get real tired of the same questions. Why? I’m just getting started.” When and where will Red Velvet serve up another L fresh from the kitchen?
Six Man Tag: Sammy Guevara, Fuego & Dark Panther VS Hechicero, Barbaro Cavernario & Soberano Jr!
Lucha night comes to an end with a huge crossover between ROH and CMLL! And it will be lucha rules! That means if the legal man falls out of the ring, someone can jump in and take their place! Will the Spanish God be able to help The Flame of Mexico and El Latigo Lagunero win big in Texas? Or will the Alchemist, El Australopithecus Apestosus y The Luxury of Lucha prove they are primero del mundo?
Wait, MXM appears on stage to taunt Sammy with his ROH World Tag Team title belt. Sammy ignores them while the trios sort out. But then Hechicero DROPKICKS Sammy out! Panther CLOBBERS Hechi, Barbaro BOOTS Hechi, but Fuego DROPKICKS Barbaro! Soberano runs up but Fuego goes Matrix! Fuego bridges, then stands back up to dance!

The trio builds speed, but Hechi’s team CLOBBERS them all! Hechi stomps Sammy, Soberano stomps Panther and Barbaro stomps Fuego. Fuego and Panther fall out so Soberano is the legal man.

MXM flips the belt around to swing on them! Fuego y Panther dodge, and they DOUBLE DROPKICK MXM out! The fans cheer, but Sammy, Fuego & Panther grab Mansoor! Mansoor says save yourself! He lets the belt go, Sammy has Mansoor in the torture rack! GO TO HOSPITAL!! Mason shouts, “NOOO~!” but he keeps the title belt away from Sammy. Will Sammy & Dustin just have to take the fight to MXM to get their stolen property back?
My Thoughts:
A very good ROH clocking in at an hour and 21 minutes, it feels like they’ve almost got this mastered for a good cable TV runtime. Though at the same time, we still had filler in Gates of Agony squashing Exodus & Josiah, and then both women’s matches were fairly quick. Billie squashing Hyan was in part to serve story as we did see Athena tell Billie to take things seriously, and then Billie takes her frustrations out on Hyan. Rachael VS Abadon could’ve been a little longer to build them both up in the standings, but Abadon winning makes sense as Abadon’s gotten closer to titles than Rachael has. And good promo from Velvet, but I’m not sure why we’re waiting so long to get to her and Leyla’s rematch.
Additionally, while that 12 Man Tag was some fun, just smashing together multiple teams for that was bordering on filler. Good to see The Von Erichs back given ROH was in Texas. And between The Von Erichs being in Texas and Sterling being introduced as one of the competitors, it was a given The Von Erichs and their team would win. Though it did work that The Outrunners got the finish, they’re the team riding high right now. I will say it’s good that “The Frat House” is a faction, but like, can’t the name have just be The Fraternity? Or like, Greek letters that make a fraternity name, but also is a funny pun when you boil it down to letters.
But of course, great stuff throughout the night involving luchadores. Fuego Del Sol VS Yuta was a very good opening match, but I figured Yuta would win that. Him going the extra mile with that steel chain was rather vicious, I feel like Fuego should want payback, teaming with some other AEW wrestlers who have beef with the Death Riders. Komander VS Lee was a very good ROH TV Championship match, but given this wasn’t the main event, I figured Komander would retain. Maybe EJ gets his shot next?
And then a very good Six Man main event. The lucha rules made it constant motion because there was no need for tags, and apparently the ref didn’t need to count when Hechi’s team was in there together. MXM getting involved makes sense, as they’re still not happy just possessing the tag title. They screwed Sammy over, Hechi’s team wins, but then Sammy’s side stands tall over MXM. I would think we do get Sons of Texas VS MXM one more time, who knows how that goes, but it’ll be a lot of fun either way.
