PLAY BY PLAY
Nathan Frazer & Axiom are backstage.
The Jersey Island Rocket is fired up but The Undeniable Truth says this is a big risk. Last week, teams were trying to destroy each other just to get at these NXT Tag Team Championships. Frazer is too busy muttering, “Win the Iron Survivor. Win the Iron Survivor.” Axiom snaps him out of it and asks if Frazer heard any of that. Yes, he did! All the tag teams are breathing down their necks, but guess what? They’ll destroy each other before ever reaching Fraxiom. Look in his eyes, amigo. Does Frazer look worried? No! But then Gallus walks over. Axiom says he’s worried. Frazer shrugs that off and heads to gorilla.
Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey & Wolfgang chuckle to themselves, because they’re far more united than the champs. Will Markus & Wolfie be waiting on the other side of Frazer’s singles ambitions? Speaking of the teams breathing down their necks, as Fraxiom heads to the ring, we can see OTM watching from the perch while Hank ‘n’ Tank are in the Chase U student section. The The D’Angelo Family’s Luca Crusifino & “Stacks” Channing Lorenzo walk up right behind commentary. Will one of these teams look to jump the line?
2024 Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifier: Nathan Frazer VS Eddy Thorpe!
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. Frazer and Thorpe tie up, Thorpe waistlocks but Frazer wrenches out. Frazer hits an ELBOW BREAKER, then wristlocks the arm. Thorpe rolls, kips up, and wrenches in return. Frazer rolls, handsprings, and wrenches to WRING Thorpe out. Frazer goes for legs, Thorpe kicks him away, but Frazer kips up! Thorpe stays back to avoid the superkick! The fans fire up as the two reset. Frazer tells Axiom that there’s nothing to worry about, but Thorpe gets around to waistlock and SLAM! And SLAM again! Thorpe floats to a facelock but Frazer fights up.
Thorpe shifts to a headlock, Frazer powers up and out but Thorpe whips Frazer. Thorpe drops, bypasses but that lets Frazer build up speed! DROPKICK! The fans are thunderous as Frazer fires up, and Frazer arm-drags Thorpe down. Frazer clamps on with an armlock but wait, now Tyson Dupont & Tyrike Igwe step in, in front of commentary. Booker T complains but he’s not gonna tell Ty & Ty to move. Thorpe fights up while Frazer is seeing the teams close in. Thorpe powers Frazer to ropes, whips him away, then hurdles and jumps to CROSSBODY! Thorpe kitchen sink KNEES and the fans fire up behind him!
Thorpe storms up on Frazer to whip him to a corner. Thorpe then storms up to KICK Frazer! Frazer staggers to another corner, but Thorpe KICKS him again! The fans rally up as Thorpe KICKS, KICKS, and KICKS! The ref counts, Thorpe whips corner to corner, but Frazer goes up and over. Frazer handsprings away, then catches Thorpe to a BUCKLE SHOT! The fans fire up and Axiom coaches Frazer to keep focus. Frazer catches his breath, brings Thorpe up, and snapmares him to then NECK SNAPPER! Cover, TWO! The fans rally and Frazer brings Thorpe up. Frazer snap suplexes, covers, TWO!
Frazer is a little annoyed but he goes back to Thorpe. The fans duel, but now Gallus is on the stage. Thorpe slips free of a suplex to roll Frazer up! TWO!! Frazer escapes, sunset flips, but Thorpe rolls through! Frazer ducks a kick to roll Thorpe, TWO! Thorpe kicks, Frazer dodges, both men run, DOUBLE CROSSBODIES collide! The fans fire up and wait, OTM disappeared from the perch. And now all the teams are creeping closer! The walls really are closing on on Fraxiom as NXT goes to break.
NXT returns and Frazer fights out of a headlock. Frazer runs, but into Thorpe’s COBRA TWIST! Thorpe twists and stretches Frazer but Frazer endures. OTM has now joined the rest of these teams on the ground level, and they’re all loving this. Thorpe ROCKS Frazer, runs, but Frazer trips Thorpe up! Frazer then goes to the apron, springboards, but Thorpe dodges! Thorpe swings, Frazer dodges and QUEBRADA DDTS! Then RUNNING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO!! Thorpe survives and Frazer is beside himself! Frazer huffs ‘n’ puffs while Thorpe feebly grabs at him. The fans are thunderous for “NXT! NXT!” as Frazer climbs.
But Thorpe trips Frazer! Thorpe climbs up but Frazer throws elbows! Thorpe falls back, but now the No Quarter Catch Crew’s team of Myles & Heights are here! Thorpe climbs up after Frazer in the distraction to SUPER GERMAN SUPLEX! Frazer staggers up, into the suplex, and BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO?! Thorpe cannot believe it and neither can the fans! Axiom, Hank ‘n’ Tank now argue with Gallus, but Thorpe focuses on Frazer! Thorpe whips, Frazer goes up to RANA Thorpe out! Then the teams start brawling! The fans are thunderous as the chaos is all over ringside! Frazer goes up to SUPER SWANTON onto a cluster!!
The fans are loving this, and Frazer checks on Axiom. That leaves him open to haymakers from Thorpe! Thorpe BOOTS Axiom for good measure! Thorpe hurries in, but Frazer wrenches! Thorpe SOBATS and ENZIGIRIS! Thorpe runs, but Frazer catches him! ANARCHY!! Frazer hurries up top as people are sent into steel steps! PHNOENIX SPLASH!! Cover, FRAZER WINS!!
Winner: Nathan Frazer, by pinfall (advances to WWE Deadline)
And now Frazer has to get outta there, because the brawling rushes into the ring! Frazer fights off Myles Borne and Axiom LEAPS onto those in the ring! Referees rush out here but fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” It is utter chaos, how is Ava to choose contenders out of this mess?
Andre Chase speaks to the class.
“When I started Chase U, I didn’t want to just teach. I wanted to created a place where people could believe in something, a place where you felt like you belonged, and along the way, I was lucky enough to find people who believed in me as much as I believe in this. When you put everything into something, it becomes who you are. I understand the risk I’m taking tonight, what’s on the line. But Chase U was built on taking risks. This all started with just Thea and I, and look at what it’s become. Chase University created an MVP. Chase University saw Thea’s first victory. Chase University sold out a calendar, twice. Due to the consequences of my own actions, but still. We sold out twice!
“Chase University saw Riley Osborne break out. Chase University saw Thea Hail win a battle royal to challenge for the NXT Women’s Championship. And Chase University won tag team gold. The lessons that we’ve shared here, the moments that we’ve made, they are a part of us now, and they’re not going anywhere. Cuz I’ll be damned if I’m gonna let anyone or anything take away my family.” One of the students says, “Handle that, Mr. Chase!” Chase promises to right Ridge’s wrongs. Yeah, tell ’em! Chase will show why this university is a staple in the NXT Universe. Yeah, Mr. Chase has got this! Tonight, Chase vows to become THE #1 contender.
The students cheer on their favorite professor, but will their faith in Chase see him through to victory? Or will Yorkshire Grit exact the ultimate revenge when he crushes their school spirit?
Giulia speaks.
“It’s been a little over two months since coming to America. It’s very different from life in Japan. But, I am enjoying my time in America, and learning a new culture. At the same time, NXT is learning about the Beautiful Madness that is Giulia. When I debuted, I had no background in martial arts or combat sports. The only skill I had was from the fights I got into growing up. I would bite, slap, do whatever it took to win. The fans of Japanese pro-wrestling described my actions in the ring as ‘beautiful madness.’ A mixture of chaos and creativity that sums up who I am as a person and as a WWE superstar.
“After I qualify, four other women will get a taste of the Beautiful Madness at Deadline. I will become the Iron Survivor. After that, Roxanne Perez, I will see you soon.” Who will be the first to feel the chaos and creativity Giulia can unleash?
Kelani Jordan paces backstage.
She mutters to herself that no one can do it like her, so she has to show everyone what that means. But Robert Stone and Stevie Turner are nearby. Stone says just imagine if Giulia were in the Iron Survivor. Stevie reminds Stone that Kelani was in that match last year. Oh, right. Kelani says she is the Standout, so she’ll prove that by beating the very best. Wait. Stone and Stevie have pull with Ava, right? They do. Then someone tell Ava that Kelani wants Giulia next week in her qualifier. Done. Kelani heads out but the two assistants to the GM argue over who gets to tell Ava. One way or another, will Giulia see that no one, not even her, does it like Lani?
2024 Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifier: Jaida Parker VS Stephanie Vaquer!
Miss Parker has been building momentum through brutal battles, such as her Hardcore match with Lola Vice in the 2300 Arena. But now she’s running into an obstacle that very few around the world have overcome. Will Jaida be able to vanquish Vaquer? Or will she learn just why The Dark Angel was also known as La Primera?
NXT returns and Vaquer makes her entrance. The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Jaida scoops and she SLAMS Vaquer! Jaida talks trash but Vaquer gets right up. Vaquer shoots around, waistlocks, but Jaida wrenches free. Jaida YANKS on the arm, wrenches again, then YANKS it again. Vaquer rolls, handsprings, and fans cheer on “Both These Women!” Vaquer wrenches and wristlocks, but Jaida powers through to wrench and YANK the arm again. Jaida RAMS Vaquer down, then brings her up, just to RAM her back down! Jaida whips Vaquer to ropes then blows past her to RUN her over!
The fans fire up while Jaida talks trash. Jaida drags Vaquer up and whips her to a corner. Jaida runs up but Vaquer dodges! Vaquer runs back in and tilt-o-whirls for a roll-up! TWO! Jaida escapes but ends up in a body scissors! Vaquer turns Jaida over for an O’Conner Bridge! TWO! Jaida escapes again, but Vaquer clamps onto an arm. The fans rally as Jaida endures the double wristlock. Vaquer isolates the arm to STOMP it! Vaquer smiles while Jaida writhes, and Vaquer brings her up. Vaquer whips Jaida but Jaida reverses to put Vaquer in a corner. Jaida shakes the bad arm, runs up, but gets caught to a HANGING ARMBAR!
The fans are torn and the ref counts, but Vaquer lets off at 4. Jaida staggers back, Vaquer springboards, but Jaida catches her! Even with one good arm, Jaida hits a BACKBREAKER! Jaida whips Vaquer hard into the corner, then puts her in the ropes. Jaida CHOPS, runs, and TEARDROPS it like it’s hot! Jaida still high steps around, and NXT goes to break.
NXT returns again and Vaquer sits Jaida down in a corner. Vaquer runs corner to corner, but Jaida dodges the knees! BACKSTABBER! Cover, TWO! Jaida drags Vaquer up, ROCKS her in the back, and fans rally for “NXT! NXT!” Jaida ROCKS Vaquer in the back again, then whips. Vaquer ROCKS Jaida! And SOBATS! Vaquer runs but Jaida bypasses to ROCK her in the back again! Jaida dragon sleepers, and inverted suplexes! Cover, TWO! Vaquer toughs it out but Jaida keeps her focus. Jaida drags Vaquer around, has the arms, and then steps over! That’s a deep motorcycle stretch, but Vaquer endures!
The fans rally, Vaquer powers up, but Jaida steps back to dig a knee into the back. Vaquer still fights to her feet, and she powers up to turn things around! Jaida turns them back around to ROCK Vaquer in the back again! Jaida clamps on with a chinlock now but Vaquer endures. The fans duel as Vaquer fights up again. Vaquer spins to JAWBREAKER free! And she SUPERKICKS! Jaida staggers, swings, but into SOLE FOOD! Jaida flounders to a corner, Vaquer goes to the other. The fans fire up as Vaquer runs corner to corner, METEORA! Vaquer snapmares Jaida, and reminds us she is La Primera! She headscissors to DRILL Jaida into the mat! Cover, TWO!
Jaida stays in this and Vaquer grows frustrated. But the fans know “This is Awesome!” as Vaquer brings Jaida up. Jaida spins things around to FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO!! Vaquer survives and now Jaida is frustrated. Jaida stands Vaquer up, inverted suplexes, but Vaquer slips free to roll her up! TWO! Vaquer hurries to underhook! But Jaida powers out and knees low! Jaida reels Vaquer in to GOURD BUSTER! And then Jaida builds speed, but wait! Lola Vice is here!? With a brick?! Jaida tells her to just get over it. Vaquer SUPERKICKS Jaida! Vaquer tucks Jaida in, for the PRIMERA BACKBREAKER! Cover, Vaquer wins!
Winner: Stephanie Vaquer, by pinfall (advances to WWE Deadline)
The Mayor of Vice City gets a semblance of revenge in making sure Miss Parker misses out on Deadline. Vaquer is moving on, will she prove herself worthy of the title opportunity?
Dion Lennox and Brinley Reece prepare backstage.
They’re both wearing Oregon State University Beavers gear. Dion spent five years playing football there and it feels GOOD to be in the orange and black again. And just like the Beavers will take care of Washington State this weekend, he and Brin are handling business tonight. Brin is fired up and says yes! That is why Dion was a team captain! They’re pumped up! Pac 12 on Saturday, but tonight is theirs! Will Dion & Brin be victorious as Oregon State alumni? Or will Adonis & Karmen figure out this strange romcom of theirs?
Roxanne Perez posts a video.
Via her Twitter/X account, the NXT Women’s Champion tells us that as the champion, and the currently longest reigning champion in WWE today, she felt it was time to take a well-deserved and long overdue vacation. She will relax while everyone else tries to follow in her steps as the original Iron Survivor. Good luck to all the ladies busting their asses just to lose to her. But wait, Sol Ruca shows up! So crazy seeing her at the beach. Hopefully Roxie enjoys her vacation because after Deadline, they’ll be seeing each other again. Sol heads out to catch some waves, but will Roxie make sure Sol wipes out in the ring?
Tony D’Angelo w/ Adriana Rizzo VS Brooks Jensen w/ Shawn Spears!
While the North American Championship is not on the line, The Don could end up owing a title match if he gets caught sleeping on Jensen. Will this second generation superstar actually succeed for following The Chair Man? Or will Jensen & Spears just have to FOGEDABOUTIT?
NXT returns and Jensen makes his entrance, Spears right behind him. The bell rings and the fans rally up. Jensen and Tony tie up, go around, and then they go along the ropes. Tony puts Jensen in a corner but Jensen powers out. Tony headlocks, the fans rally behind him, but Jensen powers up and out. Tony RUNS Jensen over, then scoops him to SLAM him! The fans fire up while Jensen writhes. Tony headlocks but Jensen endures. Jensen powers up again, and he puts Tony on the ropes. Tony lets go but Jensen sucker punches him! Jensen whips, but Tony CLOBBERS him! The fans fire up as Tony eggs Jensen on.
Tony ROCKS Jensen again, then whips him to ropes. Jensen reverses, then catches Tony to a SLEEPER! The fans boo but Tony fights around. Jensen grinds the hold into a headlock and he puts Tony on the mat. The fans rally as Tony fights back up, and RAMS Jensen into buckles! Tony runs but Jensen ELBOWS him away! Jensen fireman’s carries to HOTSHOT Tony off the ropes! Jensen stomps away while the fans boo. Rizzo coaches Tony but Spears applauds Jensen. Jensen drops a knee, then covers, TWO! Tony stays in this but Jensen snarls. Jensen clamps on with a chinlock but the fans rally again.
Tony fights up, fights around, but Jensen becomes a backpack! Tony stays up, to then BACKPACK SENTON! But Jensen holds on! Jensen squeezes tight, but Ton throws elbows into the thighs. Tony is free of the body scissors, fights up to his feet, but Jensen squeezes the neck more. Tony fights around, and he goes at the ropes! Tony manages to throw Jensen off to the floor, but Tony gets his own leg stuck in the ropes. Tony tumbles free but he hobbles after Jensen. Tony CLUBS Jensen, puts him in the ring, then hurries after. Tony dodges a punch to DECK Jensen! And DECKS him again! Then BELLY2BELLY! And another BELLY2BELLY!
The fans fire up with Tony and he whisp Jensen to ropes. SPINE- CODE BREAKER! Jensen turns things around, hurries to cover, TWO! Tony survives but Jensen brings him up, for a BOOT! The fans boo but Jensen runs again, into the SPINEBUSTER!! High stack, Tony wins!
Winner: Tony D’Angelo, by pinfall
The Don grits it out with Jensen and comes out on top! Spears joins Jensen in the ring to help him up, and then Chair Man stares down with The Don. Spears offers a handshake, and Tonty accepts. But then Jensen CHOP BLOCKS Tony’s leg! Spears smiles as he suckers Tony in! Jensen may be Spears’ pawn, but even pawns can do damage. Has Spears’ chess game just put The Don in check?
Ashante THEE Adonis & Karmen Petrovic prepare backstage.
Well, Dion & Brin are representing Oregon State, so naturally Adonis & Karmen are Washington State. Adonis knows Brin is Karmen’s bestie, but Adonisly, Dion & Brin are gonna lose tonight like the Beavers will this weekend. Karmen feels that. By the way, she looks good in crimson and grey. Thanks. So does he. Uh, but anyway, they gotta lock in and win this. They can put their differences aside and get their hands raised. Sounds like a win-win to Adonis. Karmen says let’s go, and pats him on the chest. Adonis says yes, here we go. Can Adonis focus on what matters before going for what he wants?
Lexis King talks with someone.
“Didn’t exactly get off to the best start here. I wasn’t putting my best foot forward. But I like to think that as of late, I’ve really turned a new leaf. It’s an everyday thing, but every day, I’m just trying to be the best version of Lexis King that I can be. And I’m not gonna lie, it’s starting to pay off. People are starting to notice. And I’m not gonna be able to win them all over very quickly, but slow and steady wins the race. And I just wanted to say, I know we could talk for hours, but I appreciate you listening to me and not judging me based on my past.” Turns out, Lexis is talking to Yoshiki Inamura. And Inamura gives a big thumbs up as he says, “I understand.”
Lexis thanks Inamura then heads out. Josh Briggs asks Inamura what that was about. Inamura shrugs and says he doesn’t really know. NXT is a crazy place. Wait, something is going on around the corner! Oh no, all the tag teams from earlier are still brawling! Refs rush in, and Inamura says this is HIS kind of crazy! Briggs nods, will he and Inamura look to join the “fun” soon enough?
Mixed Tag: Ashante THEE Adonis & Karmen Petrovic VS Dion Lennox & Brinley Reece!
NXT returns and Adonis makes his entrance, followed immediately by Karmen’s. The teams sort out and it’s ladies first. Brin and Karmen get warmed up, but then Adonis tags in. Karmen is annoyed and Brin is surprised, but Dion steps in. Dion and Adonis get fired up, but Karmen tags in! Karmen smirks as she returns the favor, and Dion asks if they even talked things out. Clearly not as Adonis tags back in. Karmen is getting annoyed now but Adonis says hey, two can play at that game. And that they can, as Karmen tags back in! Dion is frustrated, Brin is confused, but then Adonis and Karmen keep arguing. Dion says go get her!
Brin runs up to roll Karmen up! TWO! Karmen gets up, goes for a leg, but Brin wrenches out to backslide. TWO, and Karmen goes to sweep. Brin jumps that kick, then wrenches and wristlocks. Kamren wrenches back and wrangles Brin. Brin fights up, fights around, and whips Karmen to ropes. Brin then blows past Karmen, handsprings over, and blocks the hip toss to DECK Karmen! But then Adonis tags in to make the save. Dion slips in and he HIP TOSSES Adonis! And HIP TOSSES him again! Dion whips Adonis but Adonis reverses. Dion reverses back but Adonis KCIKS and then AIR DROPS! Adonis checks with Karmen and she applauds.
Adonis whips again, but Dion reverses to BACKDROP! And DROPKICK! The fans fire up and Dion runs corner to corner, for a BIG LARIAT in the corner! Dion keeps moving, but Adonis drops down, and Dion almost runs into Karmen! Dion apologizes, but then Adonis waistlocks. Dion standing switches but Adonis uses the ropes to HOTSHOT Dion away! Adonis CLOBBERS Dion, rains down fists, and fans boo. Hard to think Dion is Adonis’s friend with how he’s treating Dion. Adonis drags Dion up, whips again, but Dion ducks n” dodges! Dion and Adonis DOUBLE LARIAT and the fans fire up!
Adonis and Dion crawl, hot tags to Karmen and Brin! Brin rallies on Karmen with LARIATS of her own! Brin handspring LARIATS! The fans fire up with Brin and she fireman’s carries. Karmen slips free, Brin switches and O’Conner Rolls! TWO, and Adonis is there to flirt with Brin? Brin is appalled and SLAPS him for it! But then Karmen ROUNDHOUSES Brin! Cover, Karmen & Adonis win!
Winners: Ashante THEE Adonis & Karmen Petrovic, by pinfall
Adonis gives Karmen a big hug in celebration, and Karmen being receptive of it is rather surprising. They high-five, then they interlock fingers. The ref raises their hands in victory, could this be quite the dream team?
Backstage interview with Ridge Holland.
Sarah Schreiber is with Yorkshire Grit and says tonight is the night he’s waited for. This is his chance to become #1 contender to the NXT Championship. The only thing in the way is Andre Chase. Ridge says did we enjoy the “field trip down memory lane” with Chase U? In the classroom that Ridge got them, wearing the shirts Ridge gave them. The funny thing about memory is that it can distort reality. But the reality is, Ridge destroyed Duke, crushed Riley, and threw Chase in the back of an ambulance. But to Chase’s credit, he has more guts than brains, and he wants to go one more round, with the whole arena rooting for him.
Ridge says after tonight, Thea, Duke & Riley will be left to flounder all on their own, no father figure to hold their hands. Relationships will be destroyed. Chase made the wrong gamble. Ridge is going to Deadline, and Chase U as we know it dies. Ridge heads out, will he get everything he wants after tonight? Or only what he deserves?
2024 Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifier: Zaria VS Wren Sinclair w/ Charlie Dempsey!
The Agent of Change has certainly been making an impact since her debut, but she’s looking to shape the future of NXT with her own two hands. Will she join Sol Ruca and Stephanie Vaquer at Deadline? Or will the NQCC have a stake in the game?
The bell rings and Zaria eyes Wren like a predator does its prey. The fans even sing, “Zaria’s gonna kill~ you!” as the two step up. Wren slips around to waistlock, but Zaria switches and SLAMS Wren right down! Wren scrambles away to ropes, then comes back to go for a leg. Zaria gut wrenches Wren, Wren slips free to roll her up, ONE! Wren scrambles away again and Dempsey coaches her up. Wren fires up, runs in at Zaria, but Zaria catches the crossbody! Zaria pops Wren around but Wren slips free again. Wren waistlocks, goes to ropes, but Zaria bucks the O’Conner. Zaria runs up but Wren swings around to susnet flip!
Zarya stays up, and she drags Wren up to whip her to a corner. Zaria runs up to LARIAT in the corner! Then she snap suplexes, rolls through, and deadlifts for a stalling suplex! Cover, TWO! Zaria keeps her focus as she drags Wren back up. Wren slips free, shoves Zaria away and DROPKICKS! Zaria staggers, but she avoids the next dropkick. Zaria hauls Wren back up, suplexes again, but Wren cradle counters! TWO!! Wren scrambles up, Zaria runs up, and Zaria LARIATS Wren and herself up and out of the ring! Dempsey checks on Wren but the ref has him stay back. Zaria drags Wren up, puts her in the ring, then stares Dempsey down.
Dempsey is a bit spooked by Zaria, but Wren DIVES and takes Zaria down! Even Dempsey’s impressed! Wren puts Zaria in while fans fire up for “NXT! NXT!” Wren fires CHOP after CHOP, then whips. Zaria reverses but Wren LEPAING LARIATS! The fans fire up as Wren hurries to BASEMENT BULLDOG! Wren keeps moving, and she SHOTGUNS Zaria into buckles! Zaria falls over and Wren hauls her up! Wren underhooks but Zaria wrenches out to short arm LARIAT! The fans fire up as Zaria stalks Wren. Zaria drags Wren up with a waistlock, but Wren victory rolls, TWO!! Zaria escapes and Wren is stunned!
Zaria roars, runs, but into an ELBOW! Wren goes up and leaps over Zaria. But Zaria SPEARS Wren down! The fans are thunderous as Zaria hauls Wren up. Fireman’s carry, and DELTA FORCE F5! Cover, Zaria wins!
Winner: Zaria, by pinfall (advances to WWE Deadline)
And with that, we have our third Iron Survivor Challenger! Will Zaria bulldoze through the field to head right for Roxanne Perez?
Tony D’Angelo is in the NXT trainer’s room.
The Don is annoyed, he wants the doctor to stop touching his leg. Ava Raine walks in and asks what’s going on. Tony asks if she saw what Jensen & Spears pulled, and she says she did. Then those snakes…! Doc, stop! If Spears wants a title match, then Tony will give him a title match! He’ll fight even on one leg! Ava says that’s adrenaline talking but Tony says it is not. Tony will hop out there if he has to! In steps Eddy Thorpe now and he complains about the tag team chaos distracting him in his match. Can’t she reverse the decision? Ava knows, but she’s in the middle of something. Ava asks the doc his final word but the doc says Tony hasn’t even let him check the leg!
Tony says the leg is fine! He wants his match with Spears. Well, if he gets cleared, then he’s got it. And as for Eddy, she can’t just reverse a decision, and she can’t just “put him” in the Iron Survivor match. So interference in Tony’s match, he gets what he wants, and Spears is even awarded a title match. Interference in Eddy’s match, nothing can be done. He gets how this works. Eddy storms off before Ava can explain, will the Alpha Wolf have to hunt down his own opportunities?
The Fatal Influence is in the ring.
The fans are torn as Jacy Jayne, Jazmyn Nyx & NXT Women’s North American Champion, Fallon Henley, are here. Jacy says by now, we all know that NXT has the strongest women’s division in all of wrestling. But the three women who knew that before anyone else are the same three standing in this ring. Fatal Influence has always been ahead of the curve. So if this was going to be the strongest women’s division in the world, these three made damn sure they were sitting at the top. Fallon asks, “How do you get to the top and stay at the top? You hold one of these.” Fallon holds up her title belt, and fans boo more.
Fallon says everyone’s talking Deadline and Iron Survivor Challenge when they should be talking about what Fallon did last week! Jazmyn says finally, they shut up Kelani Jordan and proved Fatal Influence’s point all along: They are above every athlete, no matter how good they are. So now, Fallon can sit pretty with her title because she has no one else to worry about. Or she could be a fighting champion. So then, how about an Open Challenge?! Fans are surprised to hear that from Fallon. Okay, settle down, it won’t be tonight. It’ll be next week, duh. The fans boo again but Fallon says let’s be honest, NXT needs time to find someone for-
Wait, Meta Four is here! Lash Legend says, “SKRRRR~! Hold up, wait a minute. If there’s gonna be an Open Challenge next week, best believe the Meta Girls are gonna get a piece of that.” The fans cheer, but Jacy & Jazmyn say here’s a piece. Wait, Nikkita Lyons heads out here now? She tells no no, Lash had a chance at gold for Crown Jewel, and failed, so get to the back of the line. Lyons will see Fallon next week. But then RIZZO CLOBBERS LYONS! Lyons forgot about her and now a brawl is on! Jacy brawls with Jakara, Jazmyn brawls with Lash, and Rizzo is all over Lyons, but wait! More women runs out here! They ALL want in on this!
Fallon has a good time watching the rest of the division fight their way to the back, but uh, someone sneaks in from behind! TATUM PAXLEY is here, and she catches Fallon for the TWISTER! Tatum holds up the title, will she finally get to play with the shiny shiny?
Jensen & Spears talk backstage.
Jensen asks if that’s what Spears wanted out there, and Spears says that was exactly what he wanted. Great job, Brooks. And Nico walks in with news: Spears has his title match next week. Good! Everything is lining up. Let’s head out. We now see Karmen & Adonis talking about their win tonight. They each want to say something so Adonis lets her go first. Karmen says they did a good job together. Adonis agrees. Wait, outside the ring, too? Well… But then Lyons walks by and says she’s still waiting on the text back, Adonis. W-What? Of course… Adonis says no, he didn’t text her! Lyons is lying just to stir the pot, but can Adonis get Karmen to trust him?
Ethan Page speaks.
“The Iron Survivor Challenge match. The most exciting 25 minutes in WWE. The part that excites All Ego the most, though, is the prize you get after winning the Iron Survivor Challenge, and that is a shot at the NXT Championship. Oh, and I’m well aware that there’s not a single living, breathing human who wants to see Ethan Page challenge for the NXT Championship ever again, but that’s when I’m at my best. You see that uneasy feeling you’re starting to get in the pit of your stomach? That’s because you know I don’t waste opportunity. I pick my moment, I pick my angle, I pick my spot.
“So it doesn’t matter when All Ego enters the Iron Survivor, because when that clock hits 25, the wrestler with the most falls is gonna be me. Now all I have to do is qualify next week.” Will Ethan Page once again make NXT all about him?
Fraxiom regroups backstage.
They finish watching Ethan’s video like the rest of us, and Frazer says it would get interesting if Ethan qualified. Axiom says Ethan won’t. What does Axiom mean by that? Axiom says he won’t. But Ethan’s a former NXT Champion, he’s got pretty good odds. Axiom says no, Ethan won’t be in the Iron Survivor, because his opponent is going to be Axiom! Frazer asks, “What?!” Axiom?! Yeah, well, Frazer didn’t care about the whole tag division coming after them, so why should Axiom be left out? Axiom asked for his opportunity. Wow. That’s… Fantastic! Frazer is so happy for Axiom! See? Frazer can be happy for Axiom, unlike Axiom was for him.
Wow, very mature, Frazer. But yeah, thanks. Wait, what happens if Axiom qualifies? Then they’ll be opponents at Deadline. Oh… Will all this desire for gold only tear apart the NXT Tag Team Champions?
Mr. Chase finishes up with the class.
He says this was a great talk, and he says that this is without a doubt THE biggest match of his career. It has put things in perspective. Chase U has never been conventional, and their methods are definitely unlike any other. So that is why he wants to take this time to acknowledge… that while he’s been hard on everyone, and some more than others (highlight reel of his meltdowns over the years), he just wants to apologize. What? FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! Now that’s Mr. Chase right there! Duke, there are two things that are for sure in this life: one is that Ridge gets an Andre Chase University sized ass whooping!
And two: Chase is on his way to becoming THE N X T EFFIN’ CHAMPION~! YEAH!!! The class is all fired up, and Chase heads to gorilla.
Trick Williams is here!
The fans fire up as Tricky Two-Time Two-Time heads to the ring. Trick’s got the belt around his waist, and he’s going to have a front row seat for the moment of truth!
NXT Championship #1 Contender’s Match: Ridge Holland VS Andre Chase!
The fallout between Yorkshire Grit and Chase University continues as now aspirations for gold crosses over with their grudge. Will Ridge destroy Chase U once and for all? Or will Chase’s biggest gamble ever have the biggest payoff ever?
NXT returns as Ridge makes his entrance, followed by Chase. Chase high-fives the front row before he goes to the ring, and Trick joins commentary so he can hang out with Vic Joseph & Booker T while watching this. The introductions are made for this big time main event with its big time stakes. The bell rings and the two rush in! Chase sends Ridge to a corner, fires off CHOPS and haymakers, but Ridge hits back! The fans fire up as Chase gets the edge back, then whips. Ridge reverses but Chase KICKS him back! Chase bumps Ridge off buckles, then bumps him off more buckles! The fans fire up as Chase CHOPS again!
Chase whips corner to corner, but Ridge reverses to clinch and OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Chase goes to a corner but Ridge runs up to SPLASH, and then OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY again! Chase writhes and fans boo but Ridge storms over. Ridge sits Chase up to throw down crossface forearms! Cover, TWO! Chase is tougher than that, and he fires body shots in return. Ridge UPPERCUTS Chase down, then clinches again. OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! The fans boo but Ridge soaks it up and talks trash in return. Ridge makes sure all the Chase U students and fans feel this one. OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Cover, TWO!
Chase is still in this but Ridge stomps him down. Ridge goes outside, and he starts peeling back floormats! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Ridge drags Chase out of the ring. Thea, Duke, Riley and the other students are watching from the classroom as Chase fights off the powerbomb! Chase rains down fists, but where’s Duke going? Chase stomps Ridge on the apron! Then SUPERKICKS! Ridge wobbles, Chase leaps, CANNONBALL to the floor! Chase is all fired up and so are the fans as NXT goes to break.
NXT returns again and Chase is down. Ridge climbs up and the fans boo. Ridge says this is it, and he DIVING HEADBUTT FLOPS as Chase moves! The fans are thunderous as Chase rises up! Chase baits Ridge in, ELBOWS him back, then ELBOWS him again! Chase wrenches Ridge to hit a NECKBREAKER! The fans fire up and Chase brings Ridge around. Ridge is a bit too big to lift, but Chase fires KNEE after KNEE into Ridge. Chase reels Ridge in again, and manages to lift, but not much! Ridge fights out, Chase ducks a lariat but not the SOUTHPAW! Ridge keeps moving and he KNEE LIFTS Chase!
Ridge gut wrenches Chase to a Canadian Rack, AK47 DDT!! Cover, TWO!! Chase survives and Ridge is furious! Ridge goes outside again, and he tells someone to move. Ridge takes the timekeeper’s chair! Ridge aims at Chase but the ref takes the chair! The fans cheer, but then Ridge LOW BLOWS Chase!! It was all a diversion! REDEEMER DDT!!! Cover, DUKE YANKS THE REF OUT?!? Thea followed the MVP out here, and she’s in disbelief! But Ridge glares at Duke, and Duke steps up! Thea says okay, go ahead! Duke fires haymakers off on Ridge! The fans fire up as Duke hammers away on Ridge in a corner!
The Chase U MVP is taking it to Ridge, getting payback in his own right! The brawl spills out of teh ring, and then Duke aims for teh concrete! But Ridge RAMS Duke through the wall!! Thea and the fans all freak out, especailly as Ridge rises from the wreckage. Ridge snarls, but then RILEY OSBORNE FLIES! Riley takes out Ridge AND Thea! Riley’s seeing red for the red ‘n’ black as he fires off hands on Ridge! Riley whips, Ridge reverses, and then Ridge socops to pop-up, and trophy lift! Ridge TOSSES Riley onto the concrete!! Chase U is being wrecked by Ridge and Ridge revels in it! The fans boo but Ridge points to Chase.
Chase rises up, and the fans are thunderous as Chase roars! “You want it?! Come and take it, Ridge!!” They fire hands and the fans are thunderous! Chase whips, Ridge reverses but Chase reverses back, to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans are electric as we get to spell it out! “C! H! A! S! E! U!” What’s that spell!? CHASE U!! Ridge staggers into a clinch, and SIDE EFFECT! Cover, TWO!! Ridge survives but Chase isn’t done there! Chase goes up and up, but Ridge ROCKS him first! The fans fire up for Chase U as hard as they can, but Ridge brings Chase to the very top! But Chase slips under to RUNNING POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO!!!
Ridge survives again and the fans can’t believe it! Chase powers up and rises again! “This is Awesome!” as Chase reaches the top rope. Chase leaps, but Ridge rolls through the crossbody!! Pop around and REDEEMER!!! Cover, Ridge wins!!
Winner: Ridge Holland, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the NXT Championship)
The fans are in disbelief! Ridge not only manhandled the MVP and wrecked Riley, but he has triumphed over Mr. Chase yet again, and has ended Chase University’s existence in NXT! Will Ridge do even worse when he and Trick Williams battle for THE NXT Championship? Or can Trick whoop the Yorkshire Grit at Deadline?
My Thoughts:
An awesome NXT tonight, so much story and build towards Deadline, though still with some clear results. A shame Jaida Parker had to face Stephanie Vaquer because Vaquer was going to win. Though, did it have to be because Lola Vice distracted Jaida? I know Jaida needs to be kept strong, but Vaquer should’ve just won straight up, and then Lola could go after Jaida afterward. Zaria was also of course going to beat Wren tonight, but Wren did have a great showing against her. And good promo from Kelani, but I’m pretty sure she’s losing to Giulia. It’ll be an awesome match, but Giulia got a very good promo of her own, so the Beautiful Madness is definitely going to Deadline.
Good promo from Roxie and Sol to tease Roxie VS Sol, but I feel like that’s too much foreshadowing for Sol to win the Iron Survivor Challenge. It would be great for Sol to at least have the Iron Survivor win under her belt, though, because it just seems like she isn’t going to get a title reign just yet. Great stuff with Fatal Influence riling up the rest of the NXT Women’s Division, too, but Tatum Paxley getting the better of Fallon, she certainly gets the title match. Tatum probably won’t win with the Fatal Influence watching Fallon’s back, but it will be a good showing for Tatum.
Very good Mixed Tag match tonight. The constant tagging between Adonis and Karmen to mess with each other was a clever bit, and then good stuff with both Karmen and Adonis having their “almost crash” moments. Great win for Adonis & Karmen, but then I didn’t expect Lyons to mess with the Adonis & Karmen relationship just for the fun of it. Maybe after Lyons and Rizzo have it out, Lyons and Karmen have a feud with Adonis involved, but I guess we’ll wait and see. Also, they did a good job of plugging the CW’s college football coverage with the promos leading up to the match, much more corporate synergy than I remember ever getting out of SmackDown and Fox.
Awesome match from Frazer VS Thorpe, but also we got a lot of fun with the NXT Tag Division brawling around. Great win for Frazer, and this clearly feeds story as Axiom is going to face Ethan Page now. As good as Ethan is, I feel like Axiom should win so that Axiom and Frazer will have to fight each other in the Iron Survivor Challenge. It will add to the growing dysfunction, allowing whatever tag team that comes out as #1 contenders to rather easily take the titles off Fraxiom. Then Axiom and Frazer can bust out more classics like they did roughly a year ago before becoming a team, and the winner of that feud can go on to a singles title.
I really liked that there were multiple brawls tonight in both the tag division and the women’s division. Ava Raine has effectively created a more chaotic environment than Adam Pearce’s Raw. Lexis King had a good promo with Inamura, and I figured they were going to pull some Funaki style “English isn’t my primary language so I didn’t get a lot of that” gag. But Inamura & Briggs liking the chaos of the tag division was also good stuff, and it’d be interesting to see Briggs get back into the tag division with Inamura as his partner. I don’t know the chances of a Pro-Wrestling Noah star holding an NXT title, but if Inamura & Briggs at least challenged for the tag titles, that’d be a fun time.
Speaking of, Tony VS Jensen was really good, and of course Tony won. But great bit of Spears and Jensen suckering Tony in, and now Tony is playing right into their hands. Maybe Tony finds a way to retain the title, but with Stacks & Luca pursuing the tag titles and Rizzo feuding with Lyons, Tony might be left all alone against Spears and Jensen and maybe even that Nico guy. Ironically, this is what Oba Femi wanted to do to Tony but it’s Spears who is pulling it off. And as I’ve said before, it just feels like they’re building Tony into the next NXT Grand Slam Champion, so he has to lose this North American title if he’s to move up to the top title.
And speaking of the top title, what great stuff in the story of Chase U tonight. The great promos from Chase were of course foreshadowing the faction’s downfall. Chase VS Ridge was great stuff, with the same “overbooking in the Face’s favor” stuff like when Tony took on Oba. However, Ridge overcame the odds because he is being built as a monster Heel, and he gets a lot more heat for not just winning but destroying Chase U, both physically since he beat everyone up, and in official terms as the group must now disband. But as I said last week, this probably sets all the members free to do their own thing and reach new heights.
My Score: 9/10

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.

Tag to Dante, Darius CHOPS, Dante trips Griff, and Darius adds DOUBLE STMOPS! Griff scrambles, tag to Jameson, but Dante arm-drags Jameson! Dante keeps the armlock, he tags in Ross, and Ross wrenches to a wristlock. Ross YANKS the arm, then tags Marshall.
The Von Erichs double whip Jameson, then Marshall sends Ross in, FLYING BOOT! FLYING LARIAT and then Marshall snapmares Jameson for Ross’s PENALTY KICK! STANDING MOONSAULT and Marshall covers, TWO! Marshall fires the fans up, then hauls Jameson up to headlock. Tag to Truth and he wrenches Jameson. The fans rally but Jameson fires hands! Jameson whips, Daivari gets a cheap shot in, but Truth DECKS Daivari! Only for Vance to CLOBBER Truth! The ref has to keep Truth’s team back, so he missed all that! Jameson stomps Truth, tags Vance, and Vance covers, TWO!
Vance ROCKS Truth, has him in the corner, then CHOPS! Tag to Daivari, he CHOPS Truth, then he tags Nese. The Premier Athletes mug Truth with haymaker after haymaker, but the ref is still too busy keeping Top Flight, Turbo & The Von Erichs back! Nese drags Truth up, and he tags in Sterling!? The fans boo but Sterling gets to throw hands on Truth! “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Sterling drags Truth back, anchors a leg, and tags in Vance. Vance stomps Truth, tags Jameson, and Jameson tags Griff. Vance puts Truth in a corner, Griff sends Jameson in to LARIAT! Vance adds a BOOT, and then Griff BOOTS Truth down! Cover, TWO!

The fans fire up again as Truth and Vance crawl. Truth pushes past Vance, but Leila has to get out of the way as The Premier Athletes & Frat House all run up! They all YANK Top Flight, Turbo & The Von Erichs off the apron, leaving Truth stranded! But at least Truth’s team fights back!
The fans fire up, but Truth turns around into a BOOT! Truth ends up on the apron, Vance runs up, and Vance SPEARS Truth onto the entire cluster! The fans fire up as Vance drags Truth into the ring. Cover, TWO! The fans rally up as Truth stays in this. The teams regroup, Vance whips Truth to the corner, but Truth BOOTS back!

The fans fire up as Truth crawls! Leila coaches Truth, hot tag to Turbo! And to Sterling!? Sterling panics, he wants nothing to do with Turbo!
Jameson runs in, Turbo DECKS him! Griff runs in, Turbo DECKS him! Nese runs in, Turbo DECKS him! Daivari runs in, Turbo DECKS him! Turbo then scoops and SLAMS Nese! And he scoops and SLAMS Daivari! The fans fire up as Turbo ELBOWS Daivari in a corner, headlocks, BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO on The Premier Athletes! The fans are thunderous as Turbo flexes, but Sterling slithers in! Sterling CLUBS Turbo on the back, the fans boo, but Turbo just frowns and turns around. Sterling apologizes but Turbo grabs him by his shirt. Only for Jameson to get in and scoop SLAM Turbo! Jameson shouts, “Mark Sterling! You sonova b*tch!”

Dante runs, Darius sets up, FLIGHT IN MOTION for Griff! Turbo covers Sterling, #TopVonRunners win!
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 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!

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.

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!

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.
