Big Shotty could not best the Samoan Lion, and now he’s up against the Cameroonian Prince! Will Lee hit the mark this time? Or will the Gates of Agony slam shut on him again?

Lee kicks, but Kaun blocks and traps the leg in ropes! Kaun then grabs the other leg to trip Lee up! Lee endures as he’s stuck in not quite a Tree of Woe, maybe more a bush. But Kaun runs side to side to drop a leg! And then drop another leg! And then drop another leg! Lee gets free of the bush but Kaun drops one more leg! The fans are torn but Kaun covers, TWO!

Backstage interview with Lee Moriarty.
Alicia Atout is with the ROH Pure Champion and brings up his Open Challenge for the title this Friday at Final Battle in the historic Hammerstein Ballroom. Is Moriarty ready to take on literally anyone that comes out and accepts the challenge? Lee chuckles and says, “Am I ready? I’ve shown myself to be a dominant champion, Alicia. Everyone who’s stepped in the ring against me, I’ve shown why I’m levels above them when it comes to pure wrestling. Even Matt Taven. People thought he was finally going to win the one championship that he hasn’t won, and guess what? I proved them wrong and retained.”
Every time he gets in the ring, Lee gets better! He gets stronger! He gains confidence! And he proves why he is the BEST technical wrestler in the world! This Open Challenge is so he can face the best competition and nothing less. Hammerstein is Lee’s night to solidify himself as THE best. So watch your step, and protect ya neck. Because this is Lee Moriarty, and this is #TAIGASTYLE. Then just who will meet Lee Moriarty in New York City, ready to put him and themselves to the test?
Backstage interview with Red Velvet and Leyla Hirsch.
Arkady Aura says the ROH Women’s World Television Championship is on the line for Final Battle, and she has both champion and challenger with her. They agreed to No Physicality, and Arkady knows Leyla wanted this time to speak to Red Velvet so the floor is hers. Leyla tells Velvet that last week, Leyla had Velvet beat. And tomorrow night, she does the same thing. The only difference is, there won’t be Billie or Athena there to save her. Velvet repeats, “Save me? Who says I need saving?” If Leyla thinks she had Velvet beat, then she can prove it. Leyla says she already did. And tomorrow night, the TV title is hers.
Velvet gets in Leyla’s face with belt held high but Arkady reminds them of the No Physicality Agreement. Velvet says see you tomorrow. Leyla says same back. One way or another, that match will be LEGIT, but will the champion be after it’s done cooking?
Someone is spying…
Whoever this is, they’re watching Dustin Rhodes get out of his truck and go into the gym. The camera turns around, and it’s The Righteous! Vincent says, “This is gonna be exciting. Follow us.” The Righteous lead this cameraman up to the door, and they sneak right in! Dustin is vacuuming the ring mat to clean it up, and The Righteous flank him! They slide in before he notices, and just as Dustin finishes, Vincent attacks! Vincent knocks Dustin down, throws down fists, then lets off to stomp him out of the ring! Dutch hands Vincent the vacuum power cord and Vincent uses that to CHOKE Dustin! Then Dutch storms up with the cowbell!
Dutch CLOBBERS Dustin right in the head! Vincent says, “I told you, man! I told you it’d be euphoric! Now you’re seeing the polka dots for Daddy~! I have an idea.” Vincent grabs Dustin’s phone and calls Sammy Guevara. The Spanish God is furious to see Vincent on FaceTime instead of Dustin! Vincent mockingly asks how everything’s going with the Guevara family. But speaking of family, here’s a little surprise! Vincent shows Sammy Dustin’s busted up forehead! “Just for you, Sammy! Just for you! Call it a Final Battle gift from The Righteous to you.” Sammy shouts at Vincent & Dutch, but Dutch says, “Death walks in New York City!”
Vincent uses Dustin’s blood to draw a little something, and Dutch says they’re blood brothers now. The Righteous leave The Natural sputtering, but Dustin manages to sit up. Have the Righteous ensured their victory? Or have they simply sealed their doom?
The Murder Machines w/ Don Callis VS The Iron Savages w/ Jacked Jameson!
A rare appearance by Don Callis the scumbag himself, but he wants to watch Lance Archer & Brian Cage dominate the ROH Tag Division. But as the Savages make their way out, Jacked Jameson of course has the mic to give introductions. He calls himself the Post Malone of iron pumping, “and when these two sauced up mass monsters step on a scale, it says ‘Over the limit!’ Unhinged power and feral instincts, these two mass monsters are gonna eat you alive!” Jameson says they are the Iron Savages! Sippin’ sauce, livin’ hoss, and taking all the Low T Meat Riding wussies to #TIDDYCITY!

Sit-down interview with Jay Lethal and QT Marshall.
At least, it’s supposed to be both Lethal and QT. Ian Riccaboni has Lethal to his right and Lethal asks what’s keeping QT. Ian isn’t sure, QT sent him a text earlier that he’d be here. Maybe they can just start? Big match tomorrow for Final Battle, live from the Hammerstein Ballroom! The Franchise Player, Jay Lethal is here, and- Oh now QT shows up. QT says, “What a surprise, Ian. You started without me.” Lethal shoots back, “What a surprise, you’re late.” QT says they run on his time. Uh, the world doesn’t revolve around QT. QT says QT’s world revolves around him.
Ian says the fans are anticipating to this match, a grudge match really. The Franchise Player Jay Lethal VS QT Marshall, and the first question is to Lethal. Lethal has most days as ROH World Champion in that title’s history. How does it feel to return to ROH with Final Battle? Lethal says that’s a bit of a tough question, “How does it feel to return back here?” Lethal thought back on everything he’s accomplished until now, and he credits it to everything he went through in ROH. At the ripe young age of 17, he was in the ring with guys like Samoa Joe, Nigel McGuinness, Bryan Danielson, it is unreal. He should’ve paid money for that.
But to answer that question, what does it feel like? It feels amazing. Ian says the fans were certainly excited, and so were many of the wrestlers. QT was one of the first to put his hat in the ring so to speak when he heard this news. But Lethal’s enthusiasm exactly the same as QT’s, despite all of QT’s mainstream publicity. QT says yeah, it’s disrespectful, isn’t it? Yeah. The fact that QT extended an invite for a match, with all the buzz and the wave of publicity QT is riding. And Lethal says he wanted bigger fish. Lethal wants to explain. He isn’t apologizing, but he is sympathetic, because there is no nice way to say Lethal didn’t wanna wrestle QT.
No wrestler anywhere wants to hear that, and it would’ve stung Lethal if someone had said that. But Lethal is saying, given the opportunity, he wants to be back in the title picture, back in the spotlight, at the top of ROH where he once was. That’s where his head was at. This isn’t personal, it wasn’t that he didn’t want to wrestle QT, he just had sights set on something much bigger, and there’s just no easy way to say that. QT took it too personally. QT didn’t even let Lethal explain, he just got pissed off. QT says yeah, sure.
Ian says some fans might recall that these two met before about 12 years ago, it was Survival of the Fittest 2012. Lethal became a two-time ROH World Champion following that win while QT suffered a neck injury in that tournament. So it must be rather fulfilling for Lethal to return to the Hammerstein while QT- QT stops Ian there. Lethal will say it’s not personal for him, because he’s handed everything. When QT got to ROH in 2012, the talk already was, “Jay Lethal’s the franchise, he’s this, he’s that.” Literally, 17 years old, stuff Lethal should’ve paid for, and he didn’t, he was just handed those moments.
Lethal says he didn’t pay with money but he paid with his body and time. Oh, good that Lethal brought that up. Speaking of paying with his body, it was October 13th, 2012 that QT paid with his. See this scar? They know all about it. Six SCREWS in his neck. That started the trajectory of his career going the wrong way. It was a snowball effect, and no, hear him out. Discs in his neck that needed to be fixed. It wasn’t just physical damage but psychological as he had to handle the stress of living up to the nickname, “God’s Gift to Professional Wrestling.” A nickname the office gave him because he WAS supposed to be the future!
Lethal says hold on! His mentors, guys like Samoa Joe, told Lethal day in and day out that this business isn’t ballet. They step in and out of the injured list all the time. Don’t blame Lethal, and don’t even blame yourself, QT. Don’t use it as a crutch! QT doesn’t use it as a crutch, that’s all the truth. The mental stress caused him to lose his hair! All of his hair! He almost thought his career was over. The fact he was able to stay in the game with a training facility, and how that helped someone finally see what QT has always known was in him. QT got some money, and then he had one of the best glow-ups in pro-wrestling history! QT isn’t bald anymore!
Lethal wants to double check with Ian, is QT trying to say this is actually personal for him? QT says of course it’s personal for him! Lethal says it isn’t for him, and there in lies the conflict. That’s QT’s whole attitude. Did Lethal mean to hurt QT’s neck? No. It was a match, it happened. QT asks if Lethal at least feels bad it happened. What kind of question is that? QT says he cares! When QT hurts Lethal, QT will care! Okay, that Lethal does not care for. Eye for an eye, neck for a neck, is that what QT wants? QT again says physically and mentally. QT stands, Ian wants things to calm down, but Lethal has Ian step aside, Ian doesn’t need to-
QT SUCKER PUNCHES LETHAL! QT has Lethal on the ground from hitting him right in the nose! QT cools off and asks if there are any more questions. Ian says no and QT storms off. Lethal is pissed but his nose might also be broken. QT has made this personal, but will Lethal make him regret that?

ROH shares Chris Jericho’s GCW sneak attack.
The Learning Tree made sure to record a message after he left the venue. “Well, Matt Cardona, like I said last week, you’re getting everything that you ever wanted. Man, you got a lot of bravery. You’ve got some balls, Matt, I appreciate that, I respect it. But you made a big mistake because you forgot who you’re dealing with.” The Nueve then stormed into the building, right into the ring, and he used Floyd the Baseball Bat to CRACK Cardona right in the head! “I always get my man, Matt Cardona. It doesn’t have to be in AEW. It doesn’t have to be on Dynamite or Rampage or ROH, Collision. It can be anywhere.
“Never turn your back on Chris Jericho. That doesn’t just count in AEW, that counts anywhere worldwide. You are the King of the Indies, congratulations. But I think you might’ve bit off more than you can chew when you wanted to challenge Chris Jericho. So there you go. Fans worldwide now know how high the stakes are. Matt Cardona, I will follow you around the world. Thankfully, next Friday at Final Battle, December 20th in the Hammerstein Ballroom in Hell’s Kitchen, New York, your quest comes to an end. That’s the difference between The Nueve, between a nine-time world champion, and you, Matt Cardona.
“It’s time for The King to retain his crown, in his castle known as the Hammerstein Ballroom. Thanks, Matt.” The Learning Tree has escalated things with Cardona, but will he get his comeuppance?

Taven was right there to see all of that! The Kingdom knows that #TAIGASTYLE doesn’t play fair, but will Lee Moriarty still be Pure after Final Battle?
My Thoughts:
A very good episode of ROH, and while it was two hours, that was because they gave us the epic ROH Women’s World Championship match from last year in its entirety. And after that tag squash match tune-up from Athena & Billie, we got a great bit for the go-home math. Billie made it clear to Athena that they are not pretending to fight, and ripping off the spinner sticker was a great way to do that. Athena of course stood tall because as I am guessing, Billie will win and finally be world champion, letting Athena go off to WrestleDynasty to win the International Women’s Cup and use that to then segue to an AEW Women’s World Championship match in 2025.
Good stuff in Lee VS Kaun, and that win helps set up LEE-J VS Gates of Agony, which is still happening just because. I’m sure we’ll see teams build themselves up to challenge for the ROH World Tag Team Championships, but it feels like we’ll need a lot of that. Very good promo from The Righteous attacking Dustin and rubbing it in Sammy’s face. Though, it’s not like there wasn’t already heat on their match, so not sure it was needed. I feel like this is their go-home math telegraphing Dustin & Sammy will win tomorrow and move on to some other team. Very good match from Murder Machines VS Iron Savages, and I feel like Archer & Cage could be the next contenders to the tag titles. Cage is in that Survival of the Fittest match, and it could be the best way to get the TV title off him.
Very good 8 Man Tag main event to build momentum going into Final Battle. Good win for the Heels, which may or may not mean GYV beats Dark Order. Lee Moriarty had a good promo to hype up his Open Challenge, I can’t wait to see who shows up. Good promo from Leyla Hirsch and Red Velvet for their match, which feels it can go either way. Great stuff from Serpentico and Sidney Akeem, formerly known as Scrypts/Reggie. I would’ve covered that if I had more time, but it was an example that Sidney could’ve still done so much in the WWE if they’d found a story or character that’d work for him. Though being weighed down by “He’s Reggie!” was a lot to be saddled with.
Good promo from Lethal and QT to really turn up the heat for their match. Lethal VS QT is going to be some good stuff, can’t wait to see it. And very good promo from Jericho with bits of his GCW attack included. Jericho VS Cardona also has some more heat on it now, but I can’t be sure if this really changes the outcome. Jericho’s thing is still getting ROH that cable deal, so he might hold onto the title until then.
My Score: 8.7/10

Best of the Super Juniors 32 A Block: Master Wato VS Yoshinobu Kanemaru!
The Way of the Grandmaster fell in the main event of last round, but he still has a chance to be in the finals! Will he stay alive just a little longer? Or will the Heel Master pour some whiskey on Wato’s dreams?
Well, to start, Kanemaru attacks during Wato’s entrance! The fans boo as Kanemaru kicks and CLUBS Wato! Kanemaru POSTS Wato, Wato falls over, and Kanemaru stomps him down!

Kanemaru chuckles as he holds Wato open, but then he gives the ref one leg so Kanemaru can split the wishbone! Wato flounders, stands, and Kanemaru DROPKICKS the legs out! Kanemaru then grabs a leg to YANK it! Kanemaru stomps Wato more, taunts him, then drags him back up. Kanemaru has the leg for the SHIN BREAKER! And then he turns Wato over, HALF CRAB! Wato endures and the fans rally while Kanemaru sits deep! Kanemaru pulls on the leg, but Wato scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer but Kanemaru won’t let go! The ref counts, Kanemaru finally lets go at 4, and he drags Wato right back up.
Kanemaru whips, but Wato still can’t run that well! Wato tumbles to the apron, then slips to the floor. Kanemaru goes right after Wato to SMASH the knee on the floor! The fans rally for Wato while he writhes but Kanemaru leaves him behind. The ref checks with Wato but Wato won’t let this stop him. The ring counts as Kanemaru waits on Wato. Wato is still down at 10 of 20, just like last time. Wato slowly rises and stands at 16. Wato rolls in at 17 and the fans cheer, but Kanemaru grabs the legs for a FIGURE FOUR! Wato endures, the fans rally, but Kanemaru puts on the pressure! Wato flails, reaches out, and he drags Kanemaru along! ROPEBREAK!!
The fans cheer and Kanemaru makes the ref help him undo the hold. Wato grits his teeth and clutches his leg but the fans still rally behind him. Kanemaru stomps Wato, stomps the leg, then kicks him around. Wato stands to CHOP! And CHOP! Kanemaru KICKS the leg! Kanemaru whips Wato but Wato again falls! The leg is in bad shape but Wato refuses to give up. Wato stands, Kanemaru runs up, but Wato ELBOWS him! And BULLDOGS! The fans fire up as Wato powers through the pain! Wato crawls over to Kanemaru and fires up! The fans rally again and Wato wrenches Kanemaru. Kanemaru fights the Recientemente and goes after that leg!
Kanemaru runs, but Wato blocks the boot to spin and ZIGZAG! The fans fire up, Wato brings Kanemaru up, and Wato wrenches to RECIENTEMENTE! Cover, TWO!! Kanemaru survives but Wato just fires up again! The fans are with him as he waistlocks and TSUTEN- NO, Kanemaru grabs the ref! Kanemaru mule kicks the leg! Then he KICKS the other leg! Then he trips Wato to step through, FIGURE FOUR!! Wato endures, the fans rally as hard as they can, but Kanemaru puts on the pressure! Wato reaches out but he’s so far away! Wato pushes against the main leg, he grabs at the ref, but that won’t save him!
Wait, what is SHO doing here?! The Murder Machine is in B Block, but the House of Torture boys will always help each other cheat! The ref keeps Sho back, but Yujiro Takahashi is also here! Tokyo Pimp slides the whiskey bottle to Kanemaru! Kanemaru CLUBS away on Wato’s leg with that bottle!! The fans boo as Wato can only suffer! Kanemaru puts even more pressure on the hold, and WATO TAPS!! Kanemaru wins!!
Winner: Yoshinobu Kanemaru, by submission (gains 2 points; Wato earns 0)
Kanemaru’s game plan to go after the legs was working well enough, he didn’t need the House’s help! But perhaps Kanemaru wanted to stoop to these lows in order to win! And now Sho & Yujiro help stomp away on Wato! But here comes Yoh! Direct Drive saves his tag partner and runs off The House! He even gets a chair! Yoh wants them to man up, but that’s not happening. But now, with Hiromu Takahashi having beat Wato and issuing the tag title challenge, and now Kanemaru winning tonight… Could we really be seeing such an odd couple as Timebomb & Heel Master going for the tag titles?
Best of the Super Juniors 32 A Block: Kosei Fujita VS Clark Connors!
One down, two to go. Wato is out of the running after Kanemaru cut him off at the knees, so to speak. Will the Japanese Young Punk fight his way into the finals? Or will 100 Proof bring down even the mighty?

It is apropos that the most decorated man, the FOUR-TIME BOSJ winner, is in the main event of the ninth and final round. If he wins, he moves on to potentially grabbing number five!

Winner: Robbie X, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Connors earns 0)
So what if he was the underdog? So what if he’s last place? So what if he replaced Bushi in the block? Robbie X just beat the most decorated Super Junior alive today! And that means the winner of A Block is KOSEI FUJITA! Hiromu is furious, but Fujita walks back out here to have the spotlight! Fujita and Hiromu cross paths, and Hiromu pats Fujita on the shoulder as he exits. Fujita goes to the ring, and Robbie invites him in given Robbie won the main event. Robbie tells Fujita to get this in his little brain: Robbie beat Fujita, he beat Hiromu, so… If Fujita wins this whole thing and beats El Desperado, do what is right!
Robbie wants the first championship match with Fujita! The fans like that, and Fujita nods in agreement. Robbie leaves, will Mr. X have his chance at gold? As for Fujita, he grabs the mic to say, “Sorry to those of you who may have wanted to hear more from Robbie X. But if I’m in the position of naming challengers, then I will give him the first title shot.” The fans applaud, and Fujita continues on. “I won this A Block.” The fans applaud that, too, and Fujita says he’ll take “all the hope, hate and then I’ll win. That’s all!” The Japanese Young Punk keeps it short and sweet, but will the Ichiban Sweet Boy become the Best of the Super Juniors?
Here are the FINAL A Block standings!
Kosei Fujita: 5-4, 10 points [FINALIST]
Hiromu Takahashi: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
Master Wato: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
Francesco Akira: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
Clark Connors: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
KUSHIDA: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ninja Mack: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Dragon Dia: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Yoshinobu Kanemaru: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie X: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
An awesome start to the ninth round, and it is always fun to have these final playoff scenarios sort out. Mack VS Dia was great, even for not affecting anything, and I really do hope these two guys become the next big thing. I figured Kanemaru would screw Wato over with help from Sho & Yujiro, and this definitely feeds into the tag title story that involves Hiromu. Fujita overcoming Connors and Robbie X getting the upset on Hiromu was all awesome stuff, and I like the gentlemen’s agreement that Robbie will be the lineal contender should Fujita win the title. B Block is going to be awesome, I’m sure, and there are all sorts of great choices for Fujita’s opponent.
My Score: 9.1/10

Ethan must defend this title at Worlds Collide on June 7th, who will it be that steps to Ethan in LA?
Backstage interview with The Fatal Influence.
Sarah Schreiber is with Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne & the returning Jazmyn Nyx. The arguing at Battleground between Fallon and Jacy opened the way to opportunity as now Jacy is facing Stephanie Vaquer for the NXT Women’s Championship in tonight’s main event. Jacy says, “We said we would get it done, that we would get an NXT Women’s Championship match. We just didn’t say how we were gonna get it done. And clearly, all it took was me smacking the taste out of Stephanie’s mouth to get it.” Fallon says personally, it should’ve been her competing, because the last time Jacy stepped in the ring with Stephanie, she lost.
Jacy smiles and says that tonight, she brings gold back to the Fatal Influence since Fallon failed against who? Oh, right, Stephanie! But if Fallon wants to be in Jacy’s corner, fine. If not, also fine. Jacy heads out, Jazmyn is already back in the middle of the squabbling, but will NXT once again be under the Influence? Or will the Toxic Rockstar have a meltdown against La Primera?
Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura are backstage.
The Bullhead Brawler goes over how it was just chair shot after chair shot at Battleground. But didn’t Inamura go back to Japan? He did, but then he came back to NXT for Briggs. Well, that’s such a great surprise. And he has Inamura’s vest! Inamura thanks Briggs, and says he couldn’t leave Briggs like that. There are still things to accomplish. Yes, like becoming NXT Tag Team Champions. Inamura agrees there, and more. Oh, got it! They take out The Culling and set their sights on the tag titles! Yes, and… even bigger! Briggs is intrigued, and says, “Hell yeah.” Could we see Briggs & Inamura start on a Two Man Power Trip?
Mike Santana VS Tavion Heights w/ No Quarter Catch Crew!

The High Ryze speaks.
Wes Lee says, “Now y’all know I’ve been a part of something before. Brothers all connected, chasing the same dream, but… Is it possible for that connection to last if the dream’s changed? Not for long. See, the truth is, you can really only trust in yourself. That is, until something real comes along. Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe, brute force and brilliant minds that mirror my conventions.” Tyson says they ain’t chasing greatness, they’re building it brick by brick. Tyriek says everyone wants to live the lifestyle, but the only way you get there is with loyalty. Not to a brand, but to a bond.
Wes says that is how you shatter the glass ceiling. Not by selling out but by buying in, and holding it down with the ones that stand with you. They didn’t fit the mold, so they made their own. And so long as they do that and stay true to the cause, there will only be one outcome: they rise. Will Wes and his new crew soon stand tall over NXT, Evolve, and ALL of the WWE?
Andre Chase speaks with Uriah Connors & Kale Dixon.
Mr. Chase tells his students to stop being overzealous. They’re demanding matches, jumping into action without a plan, and that’s how they got beat up by OTM. Kale says that sucked. Chase agrees. They need to when to seize the moment, but also when to fall back. They need to know when to take risks, but when- Uriah says, “So what you’re saying is that we need to take more risks.” Kale says they can definitely do that. No, that’s not- But Kale & Uriah spot Ava. They want to talk, she says she has a minute so get to it. Mr. Chase wants the boys to take risks and seize the moment, so they wanna do just that!
Ava says okay, she was just looking over the card for next week, and there is still a spot open. They can be in action against… Dark State. Uh oh. D-Dark State? But that’s four of them and two of Chase U… Well, no, it’ll be a Six Man Tag. Take those risks and have fun! Mr. Chase can’t believe what he just got dragged into… Kale says at least they all get to team up. Chase says they’re not a team! What will it take for Mr. Chase to reach these kids?
Luca Crusifino finds Tony D’Angelo backstage.
The Consigliere starts to ask about Battleground, but The Don tells him to sit down. Luca sits at the table, and Tony says we all thought Stacks clipped Luca in the desert. Then Luca shows up in Tampa like he was on vacation, and he just stares Tony down. Luca says he had no idea what to do. Tony doesn’t wanna hear excuses, but Luca says on his mother’s eyes, Stacks drove Luca further out into that desert and just left him there. Luca was just as shocked. Oh, just left him, huh? Then why didn’t he reach out? Well, Rizzo was in hiding, Stacks attacks Tony at the safehouse, and if Luca reached out, he might’ve put them all at risk.
Tony sighs, thinks on it, and says this still doesn’t smell right. Luca says Rizzo’s number was disconnected. After seeing everything going on, Luca had to come back. Tony says okay, so Luca comes back at Battleground, but he costs Tony the match? That was not Luca’s intent! Then what was? No, save it. Tony doesn’t know who to trust right now. Luca says he can be trusted. Is that true? Or is there more than meets the eye to this?
Trick Williams is here!
The fans fire up for the NEW TNA World Champion, and they chant “WHOOP DAT TRICK! WHOOP DAT TRICK!” Trick struts to the ring and grabs the mic to cut his music. “Reporting to you live, the sexiest and most entertaining superstar alive, Hollywood Trick has finally arrived!” Trick says he is making history this time! The fans chant “TRICK N A!” Trick says for the first time ever, and NXT superstar is holding the TNA gold! But add to that: TWO-TIME NXT Champion, ONE-TIME North American Champion, Iron Survivor Winner, let’s talk about it! Nah, forget that! Don’t you start clapping now!
If memory serves, a lot of the ones clapping were also waving their hands from side to side and playing singalong with #AverageJoe! If you were in that, he has one thing to say to you: “Don’t you feel stupid?” The fans are torn, but Trick grins as the “Average Joe!” chant starts. And speaking of average and stupid, why is everyone trying to figure out where’s the line between NXT and TNA? TNA and NXT? DAMMIT, don’t you cross Trick Williams cuz he IS the line! The fans chant “He’s The Line!” Trick says since NXT didn’t appreciate him like they should, he gonna go to TNA, wear this gold nice and proud. It look good, don’t it?
Check who else held this gold before: Kurt Angle; Drew McIntyre; Bully Ray Dudley; AJ Styles! But none of them compare to Trick Williams! Especially not Joe Hendry. So here’s how it goes: He is turning his back on the people cuz they turned their back on him. Yes, you did! You sang along! He remembers! Trick is gonna go to TNA, talk to management, all them who work for Trick now, and they gonna make some changes. Starting with the name! IT is now… TRICK’N A! But wait! Santana makes his way out here! The Standard says, “Big Trick Willy, huh?! The main man on the block, right?” Trick says let’s talk about it.
Santana says hey, he personally wanted to come out here and give him props for Sunday. Trick says he’ll say this. Santana just made his first mistake by interrupting his champion. Oh, first and foremost, let’s get this straight: Trick is NOT Santana’s champion. Second, Trick made a terrible first impression by coming out here as TNA’s champion and trying to tear down TNA. But guess what? TNA been killin’ the game! TNA been gainin’ momentum day after day! And the last thing that Santana is gonna do is sit back and as the man that carries the flag and watch someone else tear it down after what Santana and that TNA locker room have done to build it up!
The fans cheer, and Santana tells Trick, that ain’t happening. Trick tells Santana that obviously, he doesn’t get how things work. But that’s because Santana has never been THE TNA World Champion. So he’ll help Santana out. When you ARE the top champion of your brand, once you have carried that weight, only then can you call the shots! Santana says Trick makes him laugh. But guess what? People like Trick also piss Santana off. Let’s remind Trick, as he obviously needs a refresher… Santana is a loud ‘n’ proud Boricua from the Bronx, baby! The fans cheer that! Santana has seen guys like Trick come and go.
But let Santana be the one to tell Trick, he’s a pretender! Trick is a pretend fighter, a pretend rapper, what with those heels and tight pants. And after last Sunday at Battleground, Trick is a pretend champion! But Santana will tell Trick that Santana is the illest and realest! Trick ain’t ever dealt with someone like him! But to spit facts, Santana will be the man to take that TNA World Championship off Trick! Trick says let’s be real. Santana can keep popping off, but Trick will take off his pepper steppers and beat Santana’s ass! But wait, is that Santino Morella on the tron? He wants everyone to just take it easy, he sees it is getting heated.
And Santana will say this, “Tricky Williams,” congratulations on the victory. But as TNA Director of Authority, he wants Trick to know that he will be a fighting champion. Santino already spoke with Ava, and next week, Trick defends that title against Mike Santana! The fans are fired up already! Trick’s first defense is coming up fast, and Santana offers a handshake. Trick leaves him hanging, but then takes a swing! Santana blocks to throw haymakers! Then he THROWS Trick! The fans fire up as The Standard locks eyes on the belt. Trick says don’t do it, but Santana holds the belt up high! Will Trick’s first defense also be his last?
Ava talks with Stephanie Vaquer.
The NXT General Manager knows La Primera asked for this match tonight, but Ava has to address the rest of what happened at Battleground. At Worlds Collide, Vaquer will have a tag match against Dalys & Chika Tormenta. Ava knows that’s a lot on her plate, but Vaquer needs to find a tag partner. Vaquer thanks Ava for the news, and promises to find a partner. But first, she’ll defend her title. Wait, Lola Vice already volunteers! She’ll totally team with Vaquer. Ava says that’s perfect! Good luck out there. Lola says Vaquer doesn’t need luck to handle Jacy. Will Vaquer rock the Toxic Rockstar to then join Lola in LA?
Tatum Paxley VS Jaida Parker!
Loneliness can be soul crushing, and no one’s soul has been crushed more lately than Tatum’s. But will she use the pain she feels as motivation? Or will Miss Parker give her some physical pain to go along with the emotional?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Jaida powers Tatum to the corner, gets up in her face, but the ref counts. Jaida pushes Tatum, talks trash, but Tatum puts Jaida int he corner! Tatum CHOKES Jaida, Jaida shoves her back and RUNS her over. Things keep moving, Tatum hurdles, then rolls back to victory roll Jaida, TWO! Tatum dodges Jaida, underhooks, and BUTTERFLY SUPLEXES! Jaida flounders, Tatum snarls, and Tatum bumps Jaida off buckles! Tatum goes all three levels, but then Jada reverses. Tatum stops herself, but Jaida hits a BACKSTABBER! Tatum flounders away, Jaida runs up and RAMS into her!
The ref counts as Jaida digs her shoulders in. Jaida puts Tatum in the ropes, CHOPS her, then goes side to side for the TEAR DROP! Jaida high steps it while Tatum flounders, and then Jaida storms back up on Tatum. Jaida KICKS Tatum, ELBOW DROPS, then clamps on with the motorcycle stretch. Tatum endures, the fans rally, but Jaida stands on Tatum. Tatum fights up, turns around, but Jaida sits her back down! Jaida steps over to sit on Tatum! Tatum sputters, Jaida brings her up with a dragon sleeper, but Tatum slips free and O’Conner Rolls! TWO, and Jaida runs up. Tatum dodge sin the corner, rolls Jaida up, TWO!
Tatum jumps up to KNEE SMASH! Jaida staggers, Tatum rallies with forearm after forearm! ENZIGIRI! Jaida sputters, Tatum runs up again, CROSSBODY in the corner! Tatum snapmares Jaida, the fans rally, and Tatum runs to ROLLING AX KICK! Jaida staggers around, and Tatum SHOTGUNS her down! Jaida tumbles out, Tatum wants after her, but the ref holds Tatum back. Jaida sees the doll collection and tags the Gigi! She throws that one in, the ref reprimands and Tatum hurries after Gigi. Tatum cries, but the HIP-NOTIC hits!! Cover, Jaida wins!
Winner: Jaida Parker, by pinfall
That was cold blooded! Jaida uses Tatum’s emotions against her, but wait! THEA HAL is on Jaida! The fans cheer, Jaida gets free, but Thea wants the arm! Jaida scrambles away! Thea wants payback for the unwarranted hip attack last week, will she have her vengeance?
Jasper Troy speaks.
“Who is Jasper Troy? There was never doubt that I was going to win LFG. I’m gonna make an impact in NXT, and it starts tonight.” The LFG Season 1 Champion is ready, but who will “welcome” him to NXT?
Jasper Troy VS Dante Chen!
It would seem the Singapore Superhero is stepping up to this iron wall of a man! Will Troy look to destroy all in his way to the top?
The bell rings, the two tie up, and Troy puts Chen right in a corner. The ref counts, Troy brings Chen around to put on the ropes, but the ref counts again. Troy lets off slowly, but Chen whips. Troy blocks, reels Chen in, but Chen slips under to headlock. Troy powers up, Chen holds tight, so Tory lifts him to put on the apron! The ref counts, Chen lets go, but Troy grabs Chen by the neck! Troy runs Chen side to side but Chen avoids hitting the post! Chen bumps Troy off buckles, climbs up, and he leaps, only for Troy to get under. Chen comes back, Troy scoops him, but Chen slips free. Chen shoves Tory, runs up, but into a BACKDROP!
Troy huffs ‘n’ puffs and he runs up to ALRAIT Chen up and out! The fans fire up, Troy goes outside after Chena, and Troy fireman’s carries. SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans rally, Troy puts Chen in, and Chen scrambles up. Troy clamps on with a chinlock and thrashes him around! Troy then fireman’s carries to HOTSHOT Chen off the ropes! Chen staggers, Troy SPLASHES him in the corner! Troy scoops for a RUNNING BACKBREAKER! Troy bends Chen back against his knee! But Chen fires knees! Troy shoves Chen down, but Chen UP KICKS! And UP KICKS again! Troy shakes that off, comes back, and he whips.
Chen ducks ‘n’ dodges, then BOOTS Troy! Troy snarls, Chen LARIATS, but Troy stays up. Chen fires a forearm, but Troy stays up. Chen fires hands, and an ENZIGIRI! The fans fire up, Chen runs, but Troy picks him up! Chen kicks off ropes to TORNADO DDT! The fans fire up as Chen BOOTS Troy down! Troy staggers, Chen aims, DOUBLE CHOP! Troy rebounds to BODY CHECK!! Troy roars, the fans fire up, BLACK HOLE SLAM!! Cover, Troy wins!
Winner: Jasper Troy, by pinfall
But wait! Here comes Oba Femi! The Ruler still owes the new guy from a few weeks ago! Oba is in the perch and he tells Troy that he was very impressed. But at least Oba has the decency to show Troy the respect he deserves, unlike Troy did with Oba. Oba says he could have easily come into that ring and jumped Troy from behind, then beat him down like a thief. But Oba would not do that. Troy better enjoy his five seconds of fame, because now that he has Oba’s attention, it is over! The NXT Champion puts Troy on notice, when and where will these titans battle it out?
No Quarter Catch Crew regroups backstage.
Myles says Tavion did great representing NXT against Santana. Tavion thanks Myles for that, then Dempsey and Wren walk in. Dempsey is glad that everyone is here. Tavion and Myles looked strong in their matches, the NQCC is proud. But… They also tried to prove themselves as singles wrestlers and failed. Therefore, the only course left is to refocus as a group. Myles asks, “What?” And no, that’s not cuz he’s hard of hearing. Myles isn’t just going to go backwards after a loss to Oba. Myles proved he belongs on the big stage. Wren says yeah, he did! Myles will not retreat to some shell.
Dempsey says Myles isn’t ready for the deep waters. Uh, Myles actually is, Charlie. No, that’s his youth and inexperience talking. Dempsey brought Myles into the NQCC, and if anyone decides- Myles brings up beating Dempsey. Would that prove he’s ready? Dempsey says that isn’t happening. Well then let’s do it! Just like the good ol’ days, right? Myles VS Dempsey, and if Myles wins, Dempsey lets Myles go. Dempsey says fine, but let’s make it a British Rounds match. Deal. The two shake on it, Myles leaves, and Wren asks Dempsey why he has to do this. But will Dempsey keep Myles under his thumb? Or will Myles use Dempsey’s favorite match against him?
Ethan Page is back in the ring…?
“Ladies and gentlemen, standing before you is arguably the greatest North American to hold the North American Championship, and I ain’t waiting to celebrate! We are celebrating TONIGHT!” The fans boo but wait! Je’Von Evans is here! “Dang, you turnin’ up and didn’t invite me, bro? We got history! I’m still waiting on you to pay for my jaw injury, but congratulations, bro. I can’t think of nobody more underserving to win the NXT North American Championship! Like, if we gonna be deadass, last week, when you poured off on me during the Triple Threat, that cost me. And I couldn’t live with that.
“So, earlier tonight, after you won, I was talking with Ava, and since we have this big showcase with WWE and AAA called Worlds Collide, you, champ, will be defending that precious NXT North American Championship at Worlds Collide against ME, the Young OG!” Ethan says no, no, no, hold on! Je’Von does not DESERVE a shot at Ethan! He deserves to put on a mask, even though he’s not a luchador! Right, right, Worlds Collide isn’t just WWE and NXT, Ethan’s got a lot of people gunning for him. But everybody in NXT knows dat boi BOUNCY~! But… Brother here has hops, too. Wait, LAREDO KID is here!
The fans cheer as AAA’s rising star comes in from the crowd, and he thanks Je’Von for the intro. Laredo Kid says, “Let me introduce myself. I am Laredo Kid, the most complete luchador you will ever see. I have won championships from TNA to AAA, and now… I come for the North American Championship match!” Ethan says hold on, hold on, is this a Triple Threat now? NO! Ethan says tonight is his celebration, and he won’t let these two ruin his night! Je’Von sarcastically says, “Oh~ no~! I forgot, I forgot, my bad. You still going against one more person” What?! REY FENIX?!?
The fans fire up as the Firebird says it is good to be here in NXT! The fans sure love the idea! And Fenix says this passion, this spirit, everyone has been telling Fenix about it! And Ethan may have just won that title, but unfortunately for him, on Saturday, June 7th, he’s gonna lose it! The fans cheer that! Fenix says at Worlds Collide, it will be a FATAL 4 WAY for that NXT North American Championship! And Fenix hopes Ethan will be ready, because on that night, Fenix brings the fire, and he will burn Ethan up! ANIMO!! This is going to be a hot match to kick off the Summer! Will All Ego even stand a chance?
Ava, Stevie Turner & Robert Stone talk backstage.
Suit Man Stone says this is wild! Ethan’s got his hands full for Worlds Collide! Can you believe it? Ava can, cuz she booked it. Stevie says hold on, hold on. Sean Legacy won that Triple Threat to be a contender. Why’s Ava throwing in these three other people? Okay, okay, hold on. Ava says the reason why it is a Fatal 4 Way at Worlds Collide is because Ava wanted talent from AAA, NXT and even main roster to get their opportunity. She did not forget Sean. Stone says Sean is still the first WWE ID talent to get a title match in NXT. Stevie accepts that. Ava says to her point, Sean Legacy will get his opportunity, 1v1, after Worlds Collide.
Stevie says that is absolutely perfect. And tomorrow night, let us not forget! WWE Evolve on Tubi makes history by crowning the FIRST-EVER WWE Evolve Women’s Champion! Kylie Rae VS Wendy Choo VS Kendal Grey VS Kali Armstrong! Ava will be watching, won’t she? Yes, Prime Minister. Stone will be on commentary, too. Who will be crowned as the first-ever WWE Evolve Women’s Champion? And who makes it out of LA just to run into #SuperSean?
Stephanie Vaquer heads for gorilla.
But waiting along the way are the many stars of the Women’s Division, including Karmen Petrovic, Kendal Grey, Carlee Bright, Nikkita Lyons, Kelani Jordan, and Lash Legend! They all want that title, but will the NXT Women’s Champion still be La Primera? Or will the Toxic Rockstar pull off the upset of the decade?
NXT Women’s Championship: Stephanie Vaquer VS Jacy Jayne w/ The Fatal Influence!
Battleground was hard fought for the champion given she was against the Juggernaut. But the constant bickering of these toxic elements sparked a confrontation, and that then made this match. Will Vaquer humble Jacy once and for all? Or is she falling into a trap?
Well speaking of traps, Jacy just jumps Vaquer the moment Vaquer is in the ring! Jacy stomps away, the fans boo, but Jacy says she’s the next champ! Vaquer stops a punch to SLAP Jacy! And SOBAT! The fans rally for “LA PRIMERA!” as she whips, but Jacy reverses. Vaquer ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, roll-up, and cover, TWO! Jacy is up, she kicks, but Vaquer blocks to SOBAT again! Vaquer whips again, then blows past Jacy to spin and arm-drag! Jacy comes back, Vaquer sweeps to cover, ONE! Jacy sweeps to cover, ONE! Both women stand, Vaquer fires forearms, then she snapmares. Vaquer wants it and the afns cheer!
Vaquer smiles and wraps on the headscissors! But Jacy pops out the back! The fans boo but Jacy KICKS Vaquer in the side! Jacy runs to SENTON! Cover, TWO! Jacy sits Vaquer up to KICK her! And KICK again! Cover, TWO! Vaquer stays in this, the fans rally but Jacy drags her up. The fans rally, Jacy whips Vaquer to a corner, then runs up and back body blocks! Jacy reels Vaquer in for a suplex! Cover, TWO! The fans rally behind Vaquer but Jacy smirks. Jacy whips Vaquer, runs in, but Vaquer BOOTS her down! Vaquer then dribbles Jacy’s face off buckles! Vaquer scrubs Jacy’s face, then goes corner to corner.
But wait, Chika Tormenta y Dalys are here tonight?! They get on the apron, Vaquer BLASTS them both down, and Lola Vice helps out! The fans fire up as Lola brawls with Dalys, but then Chika is after her, too! Refs and security rush back out here, they get those three out of here, but Jacy rolls Vaquer! TWO, SUPERKICK from Vaquer! Jacy is on the ropes, Vaquer 619s! The fans fire up, Vaquer springboards, CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Jacy survives that shot but the fans still rally behind Vaquer as NXT goes picture in picture.
Vaquer stalks Jacy, drags her up, and whips. Jacy sunset flips but Vaquer stays up! She scrapes her heels off Jacy’s face to then drops a leg, brother! Cover, TWO! Jacy survives but Vaquer is right on her. Jacy ROCKS Vaquer, but Vaquer ROCKS Jacy, and repeat! They go back and forth, Jacy whips, but Vaquer reverses. Vaque runs up, Jacy ELBOWS Vaquer, then NECKBREAKERS! Both women are down and Vaquer scrambles to the outside. Jacy pursues but aims from the apron. Jacy PENALTY KICKS Vaquer down! Jacy snarls as she brings Vaquer back up, and she puts Vaquer back in the ring.
Vaquer goes to a corner and Jacy stomps a mudhole into her! The ref counts, Jacy backs off to soak up heat, then Jacy runs back in, CANNONBALL! Jacy drags Vaquer to a cover, TWO! Vaquer shows the toughness that made her champion, but Jacy SMACKS her off the mat! Jacy clamps onto Vaquer to bend her back with a chinlock stretch. Vaquer endures, fights up, but Jacy THROWS her down! Jacy clamps back onto Vaquer with the chinlock, but Vaquer fights up again. Vaquer powers Jacy back, but Jacy sends her into buckles! NXT returns to single picture while the fans boo. Jacy runs in, but Vaquer catches her!
Vaquer wrenches and SMACKS Jacy off buckles, then sunset flips! Jayc rolls through, PENALTY KICK! The fans boo but Jacy rains down fists! The ref reprimands about pulling hair, but Jacy basement SUPERKICKS! Cover, TWO! Jacy grows frustrated, Fallon says she would’ve won by now, but the fans continue to rally for Vaquer. Jacy drags Vaquer up, but Vaquer throws hands. Jacy KNEES low, fireman’s carries, but Vaquer slips free to shove. Jacy BOOTS Vaquer, then SLINGBLADE BACKBREAKERS! The fans boo, but Jacy lines up a shot. Vaquer staggers to her feet, but she scoops Jacy first! BACKBREAKER!
Jacy staggers into another scoop and BACKBREAKER! Things speed up, both women grab hair for a FACEBUSTER! The fans fire up while both women are down! The fans cheer on “NXT!” as Jacy and Vaquer rise. Vaquer HEADBUTTS, but Jacy SLAPS! Vaquer fires off HEABDUTT after HEADBUTT, then serves up SOLE FOOD! Jacy goes to a corner, Vaquer LARIATS and sits her down! Vaquer scrubs Jacy with her boot, then runs corner to corner, METEORA! The fans fire up and Vaquer pushes Jacy to a cover, TWO! Vaquer snarls, reels Jacy in, but Jacy powers out! Vaquer slips around, backslides, ONE, and Jacy KNEES Vaquer! Cover, TWO!
Vaquer survives and Jacy grows frustrated. Jazmyn coaches Jacy, Fallon doesn’t seem to care either way, but Jacy runs in, CANNONBALL only gets buckles as Vaquer moves! Jacy staggers up, Vaquer runs in, and Vaquer blocks boots. DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Jacy writhes and falls out of the ring. Vaquer goes to the apron, Jacy clings to the apron skirt, but Vaquer still brings her up. Jacy TRIPS Vaquer! Vaquer is on the floor, Jacy goes up, but Vaquer blocks the kick!

Jacy swings, but into the HANGING ARMBAR!! But Jazmyn is back, and she gets on the apron to distract the ref! FALLON TIGER FEINTS VAQUER!!! The fans boo as Fallon shoves Vaquer in! Jacy hits the ENCORE!! Cover, JACY WINS?!?!
Winner: Jacy Jayne, by pinfall (NEW NXT Women’s Champion)
Literally everyone is stunned, but Jacy is finally THE NXT Women’s Champion! Granted, it took both of her friends to pull off this absolute sham of a win, but apparently that was the plan all along. NXT is now under the Influence, how toxic is the Women’s Division going to get?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for NXT, and what a wild way to follow up Battleground. Stephanie Vaquer VS Jacy Jayne for the title even being booked was a surprise in itself, and then what a bold move for them to take this title off Vaquer on TV and not at Battleground. I did appreciate that we saw a lot of the other women of NXT watching Vaquer walk to gorilla, it was a foreshadowing but in a way I did not expect. Granted, they also overbooked the main event with bringing out Dalys & Chika Tormenta and then Lola Vice, and they even gave us that Fatal Influence fallout fake-out to lower even Vaquer’s guard against Fallon attacking her. A very well protected loss for Vaquer, and I suppose this opens the door for Jordynne Grace to get one more try now that she’ll be able to bulldoze all of Fatal Influence at once.
Very good NXT debut match for Jasper Troy with Dante Chen. Poor Chen, he gets hurt, comes back, gets hurt, comes back, gets squashed. But Oba confronting Troy was great, too, can’t wait to see that match. Good match from Tatum VS Jaida but of course Jaida won to then cue Thea going after her. Jaida VS Thea will be great, and it’d be more fitting if they moved to a Triple Threat, not a tag match, because Tatum doesn’t even really like Thea, she’s jealous of Thea having friends out there. The winner of that can then move on towards a title match while the other two settle their own issues, a real win-win for NXT.
Good promo from Briggs & Inamura, and I like that Inamura was vague about the goals beyond tag titles and The Culling. They’re still gonna have that grudge match, but it’d be really fitting this story if Inamura wanted to try a singles title run first before worrying about tag titles. I still feel like Briggs is going to end up with The Culling because of Brooks Jensen. Very good promo from the new Chase U, and they of course step in it again. Dark State is going to eat up Kale & Uriah, and I wonder if that compels Mr. Chase to try harder with them. We could get a fun training montage that helps Kale & Uriah take things more seriously, but also bring up old memories of Duke & Riley.
Good promo from Tony and Luca to keep us wondering whose side Luca is on, and there has to be a rematch of Tony VS Stacks to help smoke out the truth. Very good promo from Wes & The High Ryze, I’m sure they’ll get going across NXT, TNA and even Evolve, maybe make moves towards titles on the other side of Worlds Collide as we head for Great American Bash, and hopefully win something to justify the trio.
The rest of tonight was all so greatly intertwined, a real textbook example that should be followed. Ricky VS Ethan opening turned out really well, especially using the concept of “There MUST be a winner!” That cutter to the chair was nuts, but that chair was clearly “gimmicked” to break like that. Ricky sold it perfectly, it really added drama, and because of that, Ethan of course won. Ethan talking later was a headscratcher until Je’Von showed up to start us on that Fatal 4 Way news. And NXT was even smart enough to give us Ava, Stevie & Stone talking out the logic of making Sean Legacy wait. That Fatal 4 Way is going to be insane, and then there’s also potential for Sean Legacy bringing the WWE Evolve Championship along for what would surely be another great match.
Great match from Santana VS Heights, and Santana naturally won. The NQCC had a good promo together, and I like Myles wanting his independence from Dictator Dempsey. It might be a bit easy for Myles to win the British Rounds match, but perhaps they can go to the time limit on round six and give us sudden death overtime to truly have Myles shows Dempsey he is ready. Great promo from Trick and Santana to give us Trick’s first title defense, but I wouldn’t expect Trick to be one ‘n’ done. Trick surely shows up on TNA this Thursday to help hype the match, shows up on more Impacts through the summer, then maybe loses this title on a TNA PPV or special episode as payback for how he won it on a WWE show.
My Score: 8.9/10
