BREAKING NEWS from Ava Raine!
“Due to the heinous attack he suffered this past Tuesday, Eddy Thorpe has been out of the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge. We still don’t know who attacked Eddy and we’re continuing to look into it. However, for Deadline tonight, I will find a suitable replacement to take Eddy’s place in the Iron Survivor Challenge.” Another whodunnit for WWE, who took out the Alpha Wolf in hopes of joining this golden opportunity?
Backstage interview with Wes Lee.
Sarah Schreiber with the cold-hearted Cardiac Kid and says he is in tonight’s Iron Survivor Challenge. Has he had time to digest the news of Eddy being taken out? No, he has not, but he can certainly sympathize. Having the biggest opportunity of your career taken away from you, he knows Eddy must be pissed. Wes knows Eddy is watching, and tells him to look on the bright side: Eddy wasn’t winning this anyway! HAH! Eddy is just now realizing what everyone else already knows: It is cutthroat around here! And Wes will show that he is the MOST cutthroat of them all. No one is willing to go to the lengths to win this like he is. NO ONE.
Then Sarah has to ask: Did he take Eddy out? He just said it is cutthroat around here. Well, that’s not a no. Yeah, she’s right. Wes leaves, is he taking credit for an attack? Or did he just confess?
NXT shares Trick Williams’ video from last night.
“What’s good, everybody? Just an update for you. I have checked out of the hospital. And I have been cleared to compete tomorrow at Deadline.” As we all saw, Ridge got the best of Trick on Tuesday. Ridge took Trick’s neck to hell and back, but he is NOT taking the title. Trick is doing this for Chase U, for NXT, and for himself. See you tomorrow. Is Tricky Two-Time Two-Time going to make it through Deadline at far less than 100%?
Backstage interview with Nathan Frazer & Axiom.
Sarah is now with the NXT Tag Team Champions and says this is the biggest night in their careers. Not only do they defend the tag titles tonight against, but Frazer is first going to be in the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge. Yes, a big night for Frazer! First thing is, who replaces Eddy in the Iron Survivor? Oh, that’s the first thing? Y-Yeah, until the tag title match. He’ll first win the Iron Survivor, then Fraxiom defends the tag titles like they always do! Axiom points out this is Myles & Heights, both technical standouts who got past six other teams, and this is their first shot so they’re gonna go all out.
Just like Axiom knows Frazer will to win the Iron Survivor, so Axiom hopes he doesn’t have to carry this team. Frazer says relax, amigo, he’ll be fine, it’ll be fine. And for real, Frazer wrestling twice is a concern, but he’ll give everything he’s got. Axiom knows Frazer will. Then back to the Eddy situation, Sarah is sure the fans noticed them looking to each other Tuesday night. Did either of them take Eddy out? They’d never do that! It sucks for Eddy, but hey, maybe Axiom could get tagged in as his replacement. Then they won’t have to be upset with each other. Axiom is a bit flummoxed but that is a good point. Could Fraxiom pull a double double duty?
Sit-down interview with Ridge Holland.
Blake Howard is with Yorkshire Grit and thanks him for his time. To get right to it, Ridge’s return to NXT was not how he envisioned. But time flies, and the main thing Ridge wanted was opportunity to show us what he could do. But no matter how hard he tried, the people weren’t accepting him. Ridge has had controversy, slip-ups, and it showed how merciless the NXT fans can be. But despite all that, Ridge decided to use all that as fuel. Then flashback to August: Ridge and Andre Chase win the tag titles. When did the switch flip? When did Ridge… Ridge says be careful, Blake. There was no switch. This is who Ridge is.
Chase U was using Ridge to get ahead. They wanted to win the big one but they were soft, so Ridge had to go and change the culture. He’d been in a group before, so he was sick of being used. Ridge’s needs were not being met. So he had to destroy Chase U before they destroyed him. Well his “destroying” Chase U led to the biggest win in his career in the 2300 Arena. But does Ridge have any resentment toward Trick Williams? Yes, of course he does. Ridge watched Trick’s rise. He was spoon fed everything! Ridge tried to be a company man, do everything right, and he never got an ounce of the love Trick got. That ate Ridge up.
Nothing taken away from Trick, he is a great athlete. But he played American football. Ridge played rugby, a real man’s game! The toughest team sport on the planet. Trick got the soft glove treatment, with no respect for wrestling or even the title he wears. Trick is using it all for clout. And because of that, tonight, Ridge takes the title to set NXT on the course it needs to be on. Then last question: with Eric Bischoff stirring the pot, it got heated on Tuesday. Ridge hitting that Redeemer DDT on the desk, was Ridge trying to injury Trick? Oh, Blake. Trick struck first. Ridge just responded. That silver tongue got Trick in trouble.
But Trick should count his lucky stars that he can still walk right now, because he won’t be walking out tonight. Ridge will win the title. The fans can shout and dance and sing, but it won’t be “Whoop Dat Trick,” it will be “Smash That Trick!” Ridge is about to unleash all of his bitterness and brutality, will Trick even survive to 2025?
BREAKING NEWS!
The replacement for Eddy Thorpe has been found! But the surprise will be waiting for us all as Deadline kicks off in just literal minutes! Who’s the fifth man, brother?
It’s that time of year…
…where we embrace joy and peace. But in NXT, it is all about surviving! The clock is ticking, and it is time to make history once again. Every precious moment counts both in the ring, or in the Underground. With a reign in danger, watch out or time will run out. When order is shattered by chaos, the fate of NXT hangs in the balance. And for ten superstars, the dream of achieving championship gold is in their reach. But when it comes to strategy, the most critical element tonight is time. Only two can be the Iron Survivors, and they’ll have a chance to forge a new era. Tonight is the Deadline!

Lexis King speaks.
“I didn’t qualify for the Iron Survivor Challenge, I’ not even on the Deadline card. And yet here I am in freezing cold Minneapolis. Then why’re you here, King? What’re you doing here? I’m here because this city has a place in my heart. Not a special place, not a feel good one, but a pit int eh bottom of my heart. Because this is the place, this is the city where my life would change forever! This is the place where I would be left out on the side of the road in the freezing cold. With no guidance, no role model to speak of. Yet here I am all these years later, you probably think I’m out here chasing ghosts. But I’m not!
“I’m here to prove to everyone each and every day that I wake up that I’m not the same, I’m different. And I’m gonna exceed far beyond anything he EVER did! And yet now I struggle more than ever. I struggle to change this perception about myself. I struggle more than I ever did growing up alone. But y’know what? It’s a fight worth fighting. It’s worth it to be out here and feel that cold chill on my skin. Because nothing feels better than that warm air of satisfaction!” The King is ready to prove himself, will he be far from a loose cannon?

NXT Championship: Trick Williams VS Ridge Holland!
From the 2.0 Era to the “White ‘n’ Gold,” from being Carmelo Hayes’ friend to being the TWO-TIME NXT Champion, Trick knows about making something of himself when no one else saw it.

But the major difference is that while Trick overcome being held down by a “friend,” Ridge has deluded himself into thinking he’s in the right for how he treated his former friends in Chase U. These parallel paths have now crossed, and the fate of NXT is on the line! Will the Black ‘n’ Silver still belong to #WhoopDatTrick? Or will Ridge change things right on the Deadline?

NXT Media catches up with Ethan Page.
The reporter asks him about his loss in the Iron Survivor Challenge, and All Ego says that this was supposed to be his chance. This was supposed to be how he got back into title contention. Eighteen years. Eighteen YEARS, it took him to get here and climb the mountaintop. But it also took him those eighteen years to figure out that Ethan Page has no clue how to get back up. Then what is he saying? Ethan isn’t sure. He just can’t do this. Ethan storms out, what will his future in NXT look like?

Sarah is with the NXT General Manager and brings up Ethan’s remarks. Ava says she doesn’t always see eye-to-eye with Ethan, but she admits, that was a hell of a performance tonight. She is sure his emotions are just running high. Sarah agrees there, she saw Wes and Je’Von get at it earlier. Ava also saw that and it speaks volumes to how Oba getting in the match really changed things. But this Tuesday will be the perfect place for Wes and Je’Von to have it out. Yes, they’ll be back in Orlando, and then on the road to Lowell, Massachusetts. Yes, the Lowell Memorial Arena is a historic place in wrestling, and Ava plans for even bigger things in 2025!

Winner: Giulia, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the NXT Women’s Championship)
The Beautiful Madness thrives in the chaos, and now she has her second chance at the championship! Confetti and streamers fly as Giulia celebrates becoming the 2024 Iron Survivor! Will Roxanne Perez be ready for another round with Giulia? Or will Roxie have to say “arrivederci” to her title?
My Thoughts:
An awesome WWE Deadline, which is a surprise itself because that makes it seem like this is more than just an NXT event, even though it wasn’t. At most, we got a cameo from Tiff to weirdly tease she’ll be in LA for New Year’s Evil 2025. Granted, she could be Women’s US Champion by then, and will still have her MITB contract, but having Tiff cash in on Roxie VS Giulia is not how to raise NXT up to be a third brand, it’s just a way to lower Tiff back down when she’s already been NXT Women’s Champion. If Tiffy’s cashing in on any championship while in LA, it should be the top champ on Raw as part of the Netflix debut.
But with that said, awesome Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge in the main event, and a touch better than the men’s since the result was much more up in the air. As soon as Eddy’s replacement turned out to be Oba, it was pretty much decided Oba would win. The Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge was still very exciting, but there was also the fact Frazer was not winning with how he also had the tag titles to defend and how we’ve seen Ethan Page challenge for the NXT Championship plenty already. On the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge, I almost thought they were going to give us overtime with how everyone had a point and time was running out. Maybe they pull that idea off next year.
Trick VS Ridge was really good stuff, especially with that risky rope spot where Trick got stuck. But in the end, Trick wins so that justice is served on Ridge. Both Trick VS Oba and Roxie VS Giulia are going to be great, and it feels like they really could have both titles switch on New Year’s Evil to start 2025 with a whole new landscape. And I’m a little surprised we didn’t get new tag team champs tonight. Frazer’s damaged body could’ve been an easy way for Myles & Heights to win, but Axiom somehow pulled it out for them. I could see them now being passive aggressive with each other, and maybe Axiom turns on Frazer during their next title defense. Otherwise, this is going to take many teams and maybe even a Ladder Match.
Jaida VS Lola was a great Underground match, with them doing a great job referencing their past matches. The brick being their focal point item is some good stuff, but it makes a lot of sense that Lola won. First, Jaida won at NXT 2300 so this was Lola getting that one back. Second, Lola is basically taking ownership of NXT Underground, she deserves to be undefeated in that stipulation. I’m not saying to come up with an NXT Underground championship, but this should at least get Lola in the Women’s North American Championship story.
My Score: 9.1/10

Gunther is here!
Sacramento boos Der Ring General as he storms to the ring. Michael Cole was going to interview the World Heavyweight Champion later tonight, but it seems Gunther wants to get to it. Gunther and Cole meet in the ring, Cole says two weeks ago, he left Jimmy Uso bloodied in this ring. That caused Jey Uso to march out here last week- Gunther cuts Cole off to says that last week, Jey walked out here, looked Gunther in the eyes, and claimed he’s not afraid anymore. The fans boo as Gunther says this week, he is here to look us all in the eyes to tell us that Jey Uso is full of crap! Cole understands the fans are upset, but speaking of that, it seems Gunther is also upset.
We saw last year at WrestleMania, when… The fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and Gunther says screw the questions! Screw Jey Uso! Screw everything Jey stands for! And screw everybody who stands with Jey! The fans boo more, and Gunther says ever since he stepped for in the WWE, he is the greatest gift this company has ever received! For 80% of his time in the WWE, he has been a champion! And now, he is the GREATEST World Heavyweight Champion of all time! The fans boo more, but Gunther says he refuses to let somebody like Jey Uso ruin that for him. The fans “YEET!” more and he says fine, do it as much as you want!
Gunther tells Jey to puff his chest out, walk into WrestleMania with the most confidence he’s ever had, because it won’t matter! In the end, the bell has to ring! And when that happens, Jey still can’t lace Gunther’s boots! Gunther will put Jey down for a FOURTRH time! These last two weeks, Gunther has been accused, told he went too far, that he lost control. Jey, trust one thing: In 37 years of LIFE, Gunther has never lost control! The fans chant “You Suck! You Suck!” Gunther says two weeks ago, when he took a bath in Jimmy’s blood, Gunther was in full control, and he LOVED it!
And Jey, go pray to the Lord, thank Him for how Gunther was in control, or else he would’ve drowned them both in Jimmy’s blood! Gunther looks forward to next week, calling his mother and telling her how much he enjoyed beating the living hell out of Jey, and is STILL World Heavyweight Champion! Gunther storms off, having done his part for tonight. Will nothing and no one stop Der Ring General from destroying Jey?
Bianca Belair speaks.
“I’ll be the first to admit that lately, I’ve been in my head. Everything that’s happened with Jade and Naomi, it really messed me up. And now, this whole situation with Iyo and Rhea has brought out a different version of me. But different isn’t wrong. My Road to WrestleMania has filled with nothing but blood, sweat and tears. Not no complaining, no whining, no excuses. No, just straight facts. I’ve been doing nothing but standing up for myself and speaking the truth, something that anybody would do. Something I would hope people are teaching their kids to do. And you don’t have to like the truth, but you can’t deny it.
“Just like I can’t deny now it’s a Triple Threat. Yeah, I’ve been through a lot. But I’m still the best. So I’ma use the bit of everything that I’ve been through to be the Bianca I know I can be. I’m the Bianca that won Elimination Chamber, I’m the Bianca that’s never been pinned at WrestleMania, and I’m the strongest, the fastest, the roughest, the toughest, the quickest, the greatest, the best Bianca that you have ever seen. So it doesn’t matter if it’s a Triple Threat, because there’s nothing that Rhea or Iyo can do to stop me from getting my flowers and walking out of WrestleMania as champion. Because you cannot spell WrestleMania without E S T.”

The Role Model and the Morrigan ran the table on Friday Night SmackDown’s tag team gauntlet, and now they’re going to WrestleMania!

Paul Heyman waits backstage.
And like usual, he’s waiting on The Tribal Chief. Will Roman Reigns even bother with The Wise Man knowing he’ll be in CM Punk’s corner at WrestleMania?
Rhea Ripley speaks.
“Bianca, I can see right through you. You said you were just out there to watch, and then you said you were just out there to call it down the middle. But I can see your true intentions now: You thrive on playing with my emotions, winding me up like I’m some sort of toy to you so you can get what you want and make it seem like I’m the bad guy. The thing that you failed to understand is that when I lose something that I love, I wills top at nothing to get it back. And Iyo, I never had to give you a championship match. But watching you pout and moan, it really pulled on the heartstrings that I had left. So I pulled a page out of your book, and I got what I wanted, too.
“So Iyo, I advise you to cherish every single moment you have with the Women’s World Championship. And Bianca, I can’t wait to make you feel what it’s like when I’m the bad guy. Because at WrestleMania 41, I get back what belongs to me.”

The War Raiders speak.
Ivar says, “Xavier, Kofi, you run your mouths about how the New Day is the greatest tag team of all time.” Erik says, “The fact of the matter is, the War Raiders have blazed a path of world domination for more than a decade. We’ve won gold on multiple continents.” “And last week, we had you beat, dead to rights.” The New Day took the cowardly way out because they knew they couldn’t beat the Raiders. The New Day says this is about the titles, but it has gotten much more personal. Kofi & Woods took this to a whole new level. They didn’t come for these titles, they came for Erik’s neck! They tried to put Erik on the shelf! They tried to end his career!
So at WrestleMania, this won’t be a match! It’ll barely be a fight! This is WAR!
The New Day is backstage.
They’re busy playing the Clash of Clans WWE crossover game, not that they’re in it. But Jackie Redmond walks over to talk with them. The New Day says that is rude, they’re busy playing a game. This lack of respect is audacious. Jackie does apologize, but she brings up the War Raiders saying that this match at Mania is now a war. War? New Day’s been in war from how they’ve been treated this whole time! The whole time! But the warpath stops when they take back what belongs to them, and that’s their WWE World Tag Team Championships! The entire world will see that ya bois, the NEW DAY~, are the best team on the face of Planet Earth!
Last week was just a taste of what they’re willing to do to get those titles back. And after Mania, Erik will wish they took his head off so that he and Ivar wouldn’t have to catch the beating they’re getting this weekend. At WrestleMania, every irrelevant and immature member of the WWE Universe will have no choice but to drop to their knees and THANK GOD for the New Day! Woods & Kofi head out, but will they survive this WrestleMania weekend?
AJ Styles VS Karrion Kross w/ Scarlett Bordeaux!
Before taking on The Maverick, Logan Paul, at WrestleMania, the Phenomenal One is going to prove to Mr. & Mrs. Doomsday that this AJ Styles IS the AJ Styles that can get the job done! Does that mean Raw is going to be Too Sweet? Or will Kross be disappointed?
Raw returns as Kross makes his entrance, his femme fatale by his side. Kross is really taking this mirroring stuff to another level, wearing tights very similar to what Styles would wear. Kross still wants Styles to understand, Styles has to be like the Styles of the past in order to finally humble Logan Paul and save professional wrestling. Styles gets mad, but Kross shoves him! Styles RAMS Kross into the corner, RAMS him again and again, but lets off as the ref counts. Styles storms back up, whips corner to corner, but Kross reverses.

Kross drags Styles up, but Styles JAWBREAKERS back! Styles runs up, but into a SAIDO! The fans boo, Kross stalks Styles to a corner, then he stomps away. Kross whips corner to corner hard, and Styles clutches his ribs as he falls. Kross laughs at Styles’ pain, then stomps him more.
Kross drags Styles up, but Styles DRPOKICKS Kross down! The fans cheer, Kross bails out, and Styles slides to DROPKICK! Kross hits barriers, then Styles PLANCHAS! Kross moves, Styles lands safe on the apron, but Kross sweeps the legs! Kross then whips Styles hard into barriers! Styles almost falls onto that guy cosplaying the Prime bottle. Kross whips Styles hard into more barriers, and Styles falls into the timekeeper’s area! Scarlett kisses Kross’ hand while he soaks up heat, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns Kross has a chinlock. Styles fights up, fires body shots, but Kross KNEES low! Kross scoops and hits a BACKBREAKER! Kross scoops again, but Styles slips free!

And counter punches! And CHOPS, CHOPS, KICKS!
Styles KICKS Kross again, then whips. Kross hobbles then falls over, clutching his knee! The fans boo, thinking this is an act. Scarlett checks Kross as he clutches the ankle. Styles asks the ref about this, but then Kross sucker punches Styles! It WAS an act, and the fans boo that Kross got away with it! Kross shimmies and shuffles, then taunts Styles. Styles runs up to CLOBBER Kross! Styles fires off the PHENOMENAL BLITZ! SLIDING FOREARM! The fans fire up, Styles runs in at the corner to LARIAT Kross! Fireman’s carry, but Kross slips free! Kick and DDT! Kross vows to end it, and the fans boo as Kross throws off his elbow pad.

Winner: AJ Styles, by pinfall
Kross put Styles to the test, and that was definitely Styles acing that test! But then Logan Paul appears! Sacramento boos Logan as he walks out with mic in hand. Logan asks what’s up with the hostility. Chill, he’s here to congratulate Styles. No, seriously, good win! He did it! In front of Sacramento, “a bunch of people who weren’t cool enough to live in Los Angeles, or work smart enough to live in San Francisco.” But Styles showed these “generic California losers” why Styles VS Logan is gonna cook! But hey, why not show them why it’ll make money? Here is what Styles is up against. Please enjoy this piece of cinema.
Logan has his own hype video package, “I accomplish more in one weekend than you all will in your entire lives. I didn’t join the WWE to take part, I joined to take over.” Styles grabs a mic to say that’s a cute video, smartass. But let’s start Mania earlier! Get your ass to the ring right now! The fans fire up for that! Logan says okay, and he steps closer. But Kross runs up on Styles! Styles ROCKS Kross, ROCKS Logan, repeat! Styles DECKS Logan, ROCKS him again, btu Kross scoops! Styles slips free, REVERSE DDT! Styles snarls at Kross, but Logan is up! ONE LUCKY RIGHT!! Then the PAUL-VERIZER!! The Maverick is feeling so “humble,” but will he be humbled at Mania?
Paul Heyman is still waiting…
Will he be waiting all night at this rate?
Jey Uso is here!
The fans fire up as Main Event Jey pops right through the curtain to walk down the bleachers. Sacramento bounces for him and they “YEET!” along with the song, but Jey is once again very serious. Jey goes to the ground level, but then stands on the desk for everyone to see him. Jey grabs the mic while the bouncing continues, and the fans cheer as the song dies down. Jey takes a breath, fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and chant “One More Time! One More Time!” Jey says okay, and the song starts up again! The bouncing starts up again, and then Jey paces as he waits for the music to die down.
“Aight, check it. I said what I had to say to Gunther last week.” “YEET!” “But I really wanted to come out here and holler at y’all.” “YEET!” Jey says what up, Sac Town! Mama out here somewhere in the crowd. But everyone keeps on asking Jey, “Jey, where your mind at?” Is he crashing out? HELL YEAH he’s crashing out! But he’s locked in! Locked in for him! For his family! And for y’all! Check it out, though. Listen to Gunther out here talking. Y’know what that made Jey feel like? He mad. Nah nah nah… Gunther’s afraid! Yeah, Gunther’s afraid! Afraid that Jey will whoop that ass in front of 60 THOUSAND and the world! See you Saturday, Uce!
Jey says one time for the one time… Hey, Uce, please, PLEASE hit his music! UH UH, YEET!! The fans fire up as the bouncing starts up yet again! Jey has all the confidence, all the fire, all the momentum. But will he have it all when it’s all said and done in Las Vegas?

Iyo Sky speaks.
“This message is for Bianca Belair and Rhea Ripley. You keep forgetting that I’M the Women’s World Champion. You push me out of the way of your petty squabbles like I mean nothing. But I’m the whole reason you’re fighting in the first place, aren’t I? Because I have the one thing you both want: The Women’s World Championship! So, I’m done being ignored. I’m done being forgotten. Because you have to go through ME to get this title, and I’m not afraid to take you both on to defend it. I’ve beaten both of you before, and I’ll beat you again! At WrestleMania, you will never forget the name Iyo Sky, Women’s World Champion.”
Paul Heyman is still waiting, but CM Punk joins him!
Punk sits down with a coffee and says he’s never seen The Wise Man so stressed. Look in his eyes, what do you see? The Cult of Personality? No, a real friend. A friend who would never do anything to put Heyman in harm’s way. But then a car is pulling up. It’s ROMAN! Roman sees Punk and Heyman being buddy-buddy, and he storms off! Heyman tries to catch up to his Tribal Chief, but Roman won’t even look at him. Will this favor cause the break-up of Roman and Heyman?
Roman goes to the ring!
The fans cheer and put the ones up as The OTC makes his entrance, Wise Man trailing behind. What will happen with Roman, Heyman, Punk, and Seth Rollins, all in the building this close to WrestleMania? We find out, after the break.
Raw returns rather quickly, and Roman is now in the ring. He raises his finger up for the pyro and the fans cheer. Heyman has the mic while the fans chant “O T C! O T C!” Heyman tentatively holds it out for Roman, but Roman doesn’t take it! Roman gets a mic for himself, leaving Heyman a bit dismayed, but the cheering continues. Roman tells, “Sacramento…! ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” The fans cheer and put up the ones as they cheer on “O T C! O T C!” Roman says, “The whole world can feel that. The whole world can hear that you love and acknowledge your Tribal Chief. And now the whole world understands that you would never betray your Tribal Chief.
“But not everybody’s like you. Some people would betray me. Sacramento, you got any guesses on who that might be?” Obviously it’s Heyman that Roman is referring to, but Roman asks The Wise Man, “How could you betray me?” The fans tell Heyman he messed up. Roman says Heyman can’t hear that well, say it louder. The fans get louder with it, and Heyman is a bit surly about that. Heyman goes to talk, but he reconsiders. Roman still asks him why, and Heyman is at a loss for words. The fans boo, but some do chant for “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” Roman smirks as Heyman finally says, “My Tribal Chief… It was not a betrayal. I paid back a favor that I owed.”
Roman doesn’t seem to like that answer, but he still smirks. Sacramento, maybe Roman’s a little confused here, but the way favors work is, you usually pay it back yourself, correct? The fans say yes. Roman says it feels the only one getting screwed here is him! And if there’s one thing about Roman Reigns, if there’s one thing about The Tribal Chief, it’s that he’d never ask for a favor. No, Roman takes what he wants! So Roman doesn’t owe a favor, because he never asked for any help, for anyone to join him at WarGames, so how is he supposed to cover the tab for Heyman’s dumbass favor? But now, “BURN IT DOWN!”
Seth Rollins makes his way out, and Roman is no longer in any good mood as the fans sing “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins struts out in a leather vest and black pants that both have a lot of pockets. Rollins steps into the ring, grabs himself a mic, and the fans continue to sing, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” Rollins tells Sacramento, “Let’s give it up for Your Tribal Chief! Because after over a decade, you’re finally getting it, man! You’re finally putting the pieces together all by yourself! You’re almost there, you’re just missing one little piece, and it’s a real shame it’s too little, it’s too late, cuz I still gotta end you at WrestleMania.”
Rollins says it is for the same reason that it always has been: It’s the right thing to do! This Triple Threat at WrestleMania is the BIGGEST, most IMPORTANT one in the history of Mania, of the WWE, of professional wrestling! Because the winner of this match will define the future of this industry. And it can’t be Roman, it can’t be Punk. Because this business is filled with people like Roman, people who show up when it is convenient, expecting everyone else to do all the work. That’s how this business dies! Roman finally sees it can’t be Punk, either.
This business is filled with too many “little Punks” running around who wanna pick up their ball and go home when it gets tough, only to come back and leech off the profits of other people’s success, and that’s how this business dies! The fans chant for Punk but Rollins says okay, they want this business to die? Rollins doesn’t! If there are more people in this business like Rollins, who always sacrifices physical and mental well-being to do what is best for business, then the business not only lives, but it thrives! There can be only one, and it’s gotta be Rollins.
As for that one little piece that Roman hasn’t quite figured out… “Favors don’t happen by chance, Roman. Favors are a choice. I chose not to put Paul Heyman in the hospital last week, and now Paul Heyman can choose whether or not he pays that debt to me. But your Wise Man, he is dishonorable as they come, he is a scumbag, and I expect nothing from him.” The fans boo and Heyman frowns, but Rollins says Heyman is not in CM Punk’s corner by chance. Heyman has made a choice. It isn’t just a betrayal, Roman. What Roman needs to ask himself, what that final piece is, Heyman isn’t just returning a favor, he’s choosing. So why is Heyman choosing Punk over Roman?
Heyman tells Roman he’s not doing that, but Roman seems to be thinking Rollins has a point. Roman tells The Wise Man that Rollins is right, Heyman made his choice. But Roman has made his. LARIAT FOR ROLLINS! The fans fire up as Roman then POSTS Rollins! Rollins flops out of the ring, Heyman is very pleased, and he says he acknowledges his Tribal Chief! Roman nods, but then he PIE FACES Heyman!? Heyman is stunned, but here comes CM Punk! The fans fire up as Punk runs down to the ring, and he dodges Roman to fire hands! The fans fire up as they brawl, and then Punk LARIATS Roman up and out!
The fans are torn as Punk helps Heyman up. Heyman is distraught, but Roman is back! SPEAR for Punk!! Roman HAMMERS away on Punk! Roman shouts at Punk, HEADBUTTS him, but then Rollins returns! And with a chair! SMACK to the back of Roman Reigns, just like the night it all started! Sacramento is all fired up, and Rollins hits a CURB STOMP on Punk! And then CURB STOMP on Roman! Heyman is freaking out as both his guys are down! Rollins stares Heyman down, is Rollins’ favor going to come into play after all?
My Thoughts:
A great Raw, especially for the go-home to WrestleMania. Great promo from Gunther with how he “doesn’t wait” for the proper interview with Michael Cole, and very good response promo from Jey. Gunther definitely sounds a bit on edge, and considering he might lose two WrestleManias in a row as the start of his WrestleMania career, I suppose I would be, too. And very good promos from Bianca, Rhea & Iyo to hype up their match, though I can’t say that changes anything for the go-home math. Iyo stood tall last time, so there’s a chance Rhea or Bianca take the other out to get the win. Rhea and Bianca talking about who’s the bad guy in this, could we see Bianca go Heel?
Good promo from War Raiders and New Day, but unless they add a stipulation, I don’t necessarily see this being “a war” of a match. Well, maybe they can break something like ringside barriers. But I feel like New Day is going to win so that this Heel turn has actual results. Very good match from Bayley VS Liv, but Bayley winning here surely indicates Liv & Raquel retain. Rey VS Julius was really good, but the LWO and American Made all being ejected, that of course meant El Grande Americano would show up. Rey wins here, but then El Grande stands tall, so I would think Rey wins at Mania to expose Grande as Gable.
Very good match from Styles VS Kross, and naturally Styles won. That along with Logan & Kross getting the better of Styles after, this has to mean Styles wins at Mania. I don’t think it’s possible to get anything Bullet Club related, but WWE works with TNA pretty closely now so maybe they can use one of Styles’ themes from TNA to really bring us back to “the Styles that can beat Logan Paul.” Very good stuff with the Men’s Intercontinental Championship build, with Bron being jumped by Judgment Day, then Judgment Day trying to cost Penta, only for Bron to actually cost Penta and give Finn the win. Penta standing tall now sadly might cross him off, but I personally do think Dom pinning Finn or Finn pinning Dom is the better route going forward.
And of course, great stuff with the Punk-Rollins-Reigns story. Heyman finding himself stuck between Roman and Punk, with Roman starting to distance himself from Heyman, that’s also very good stuff going forward. Rollins stands tall again, so not sure if that means he takes the loss or is just not in the decision. No matter who wins, Heyman no longer being Roman’s manager is the best move. Roman needs to do things on his own again, and Heyman can reunite with Punk and perhaps help Punk towards a title. Punk did say that he’d be coming for THE WWE Championship at some point, Heyman by his side for that like 10 years ago would be something.
My Score: 8.8/10

BREAKING NEWS for Dynamite!
While Pac goes down with an Achilles injury, The Death Riders will still defend their AEW World Trios Championships using some Freebird Rules! Jon Moxley steps in, will he, Claudio Castagnoli & Wheeler Yuta keep the reign of terror going? Or can The Opps free the trios titles from their death grip?
FTR is here!
Speaking of those titles, Dax Harwood & Cash Wheeler are here after failing to win the AEW World Trios Championships, and then brutalizing The Rated R Superstar! Adam Copeland had to be stretchered out of the arena in Philadelphia on Sunday, and FTR gets booed by Springfield, Massachusetts here tonight. Cash has a mic to say, “What happened Sunday, that wasn’t an easy decision for me. And despite what you might think, it was not premeditated. Adam Copeland has been one of my best friends, he has been my mentor, for 15 YEARS, before I even really knew Dax Harwood!”
The fans boo but Cash says the more Dax talked, the more sense he made. The more sense it made, the more it pissed Cash off, because he wanted Dax to be wrong. But Cash could feel it, he could feel that he was wrong. The more he watched the moves Cope made backstage, the more he moved against FTR’s careers, the more Cash understood that Cope only cared about Cope. Cope held FTR down! He held them down to lift himself up! So in Philly, when Cash saw Dax sitting here, Cope laying here, in that moment… It just clicked. Cash knew what had to happen, and that he’d have to be the one to do it!
The fans boo more but Cash says Cope may have trained him as a young man, but that’s all Cope ever saw! That helpless kid! And Cash is not that anymore. Cope did not respect Cash as a man! And if you disrespect him, you have to pay. FTR are living legends! They will be treated as such! Dax says he knows that it is the “cool” thing to do, so you feel like you’re somebody, you feel like you’re involved. It’s cool to boo FTR when they talk, that’s “cool” in 2025. The fans didn’t reach their dreams, so now they make their own. But just let Dax say this one thing and then they can do this charade.
“Last week, I saw a sign in the crowd that said, ‘Why, FTR, Why?’ And as cliche as that is, I though to myself, ‘Well, why not?’ Instead of asking us why, you should be thanking us! You should be thanking us because we gave Adam Copeland everything he wanted. Adam Copeland was begging for relevancy in 2025 at the expense of the ABSOLUTE BEST TAG TEAM IN THIS WORLD, and we gave it to him!” The fans chant, “You Sold Out!” and Dax asks back, “How did I sell out, you idiots? I didn’t make any money off of this.” But over the last week, Dax has been wracking his brain on what to say over what he could say to the fans and be justified.
And then it clicked! Dax doesn’t care if anyone agrees with FTR! What FTR did was right. The fans boo, but Dax says even though FTR doesn’t own anyone an explanation, let’s have fun here. They’ll run down the list. For four MONTHS, they waited. Four months, nothing to do, they were irrelevant for four months. The only thing planned for them was to be Cope’s new Edgeheads. They put FTR’s career on hold so Cope could chase his glory days and win one more world title, holding on to a sliver of hope that he might still be the man. Dax tells Adam, “We’ve won ten world titles across seven worldwide brands, and YOU want us to take a backseat to you!?
“You’re selfish! Too damn selfish to see where the issue is! And I wanted nothing more, I wanted nothing more than Adam Copeland to end his career side-by-side with FTR and ride off into the sunset. But just like every wrestler in Adam Copeland’s position, you’re TOO DAMN SELFISH!” The fans boo, Dax tells them they paid money to see him so sit down and shut up. Just work out even once, buddy! Dax understands there are a lot of people in the back not happy with FTR. And that there are some people out here not happy with them. Tony Schiavone, come on over here. The fans boo, but Dax promises Schiavone that he just wants to talk.
Nigel isn’t so sure, but Schiavone says he has things he needs to say, too. The fans are torn, but Schiavone goes to the ring. Dax tells Schiavone to be careful now, don’t fall getting in. But this week on Dynamite, Schiavone had some choice words for FTR. Funny that they were hundreds of miles away at the time. But now, face to face, would Schiavone like to say something? Schiavone says yes, and he says that they were wrong to do that to Cope. The fans cheer, Schiavone points out that when FTR arrived, the fans all loved FTR. FTR revived tag team wrestling. But in one fell swoop, they turned their backs on the man who helped them in their career.
Dax stops Schiavone there, laughing that off. So there was one other thing Schiavone said, and he doesn’t quite remember. Dax is pretty sure it had to do with Dax’s family? Yes… Schiavone says Dax’s daughter, a wonderful young lady, Straight A student… How did she feel on Monday when her friends told her that her dad turned on one of his best friends? Dax paces, and then he drags Schiavone into position! The fans boo, but Nigel stands up! FTR sees that, and the fans cheer as Nigel storms off commentary! Nigel gets in the ring to get Schiavone to safety, and he also told Schiavone he knew this would happen.
FTR warns Nigel now, but here comes Daniel Garcia! He steps to them, but FTR SHOVES him down! Then they realize what they did, and they apologize. They don’t have anything against Garcia, they’re sorry. They help Garcia stand up, then they hug Garcia…? The fans boo, and Garcia has no idea what to make of this. FTR leaves, Schiavone & Nigel go back to commentary, and Garcia makes sure Schiavone is okay. The fans cheer Garcia, Schiavone says he had to say what he said. Will the Top Guys be the absolute worst from now on?
Toni Storm speaks.
“Megan Bayne is a monster. That woman has so much thigh meat, I thought I was being mugged on Thanksgiving. Nevertheless, I don’t need to tell you that this whore you all adore, this slut you can’t rebut, this tramp is still the champ! But enough of this gay banter. The Owen Hart Cup has begun, and the winner goes on to All In: Texas for a shot at the AEW Women’s World Championship. Ladies, good luck. But this is a timeless cafe, and I’m gonna bake up the biggest batch of slop tarts you’ve ever seen! Billie Starkz, you Johnny Come Lately, milk-breathed, knobby kneed little brat. I will make a woman out of you.
“Harley Cameron. Call me Jim Henson, because I will wear you on my wrist and make you sing Rainbow Connection.” Schiavone? Toni says that’s the wrong slide, next! “Mercedes Money, our CEO. What an unfortunate nickname. I will drain your 401K and put you so deep into recession, you’ll have to drink my bath water. Kris Statlander. My God, what a woman! Athena. You may be the ROH Forever Champion, but you’ll last about two minutes with me. And Jamie Hayter, take my advice: No money has ever been made from dressing like you’re in a different era.
“And as for me, I could sit at home and watch this entire tournament eating veal parmesana, but that’s not the kind of woman I am, yet. Nevertheless, at Double or Nothing, I will be there, I will be watching, I will be sweating, and I will always be… TIMELESS~!” The champion has put all of her contenders on notice, but who will even make it out of the first round of this star-studded tournament?
2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Opening Round: Jamie Hayter VS Billie Starkz!
Well, speaking of those challengers, we have two here to finally kick off the action! Hayter and Billie went a round already, but will it be a repeat performance? Or will this be a Starkz contrast from last time?

Billie endures as Jamie grinds her down. Billie fights up, fires body shots, but Jamie CLUBS her down.

The Death Riders speak.
Claudio Castagnoli says, “When we started this war, we fully expected casualties. But we do not mourn, because only in death does duty end. Now, we’re not gonna hide. We’re still gonna be front and center! So Joe, yes, we’re gonna accept that challenge!” Claudio rants in German, then says at Spring Breakthru, it’s on. They do not concede territory! Marina Shafir holds up Pac’s belt, and Moxley says, “What a learning experience this will be for generational punk ass play wrestlers who don’t wanna show up to work. There’s plenty of money, championships, glory, victory, and it’s all on the frontline.
“If you want it, that’s where you gotta be. You gotta step in, step up, put yourself in harm’s way. Samoa Joe, Shibata-san, you guys know that. What’re you teaching sweet young Hook? Hook… Don’t worry. Relax. It’s the biggest match of your life. But trust me… Chicks dig scars.” Wheeler Yuta smirks, and shows his scar. Will the Death Riders find The Opps are in fact lacking?

Backstage interview with FTR.
Lexy Nair finds Cash & Dax on their way out and asks for a moment. After what they did to Cope- Wait, 2Point0 barges in! Matt Menard & Angelo Parker excuse Lexy, and they say FTR must think they’re pretty slick. They’ve got the wool pulled over Danny’s eyes. But 2Point0 sees through the BS, and they’ll be damned if they let FTR put Garcia in the same position as Cope. FTR try to speak but Menard says no, it’s their time to talk. A year and a half, Menard has been waiting for this. A YEAR AND A HALF, and FTR finally exposed themselves! FTR thinks they can do this to Garcia?

Blake slips back inside, Bowens goes to the apron, and Bowens blocks a kick! Blake ENZIGIRS, then APRON SPEARS! Blake takes another taste, then builds speed to FOSBURY TOPE! Blake lounges on the floor, tells Billy to back off, but Billy tells him to SUCK IT. Blake drags Bowens into the ring, then brings him up to wrench and WRING out the arm! Blake drags Bowens back up, but Bowens ROCKS Blake! And CHOPS! And ROCKS him again!
Bowens ROCKS Blake in the corner, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Blake RAMS shoulders with Bowens. Blake eggs Bowens on, wrenches the arm, and RAMS shoulders again! Blake kicks at Bowens mockingly while Big Shotty taunts the fans.

Blake stands, Bowens wrenches and torture racks! Swing and SLAM! Cover, TWO! Blake survives the “Grand Slam” but the fans rally up.

The female titan didn’t even break a sweat, but she may have broken both opponents. She sits them up, shouts, “BOW DOWN!” and then SLAMS them both back down! Will no one stop Megan from rising back to title contention?
Kevin Knight VS AR Fox!
The Jet didn’t win in his Owen Hart Cup match, and he came up short on the NJPW Strong Openweight Tag Team Championships in Chicago just last night, but he did win his part of $400,000 on Dynamite. Will Knight still be feeling fly after facing a veteran high-flyer? Or will Knight take over the Whole Fox’n Show?

Fox goes right up, 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Knight survives and Fox is shocked! The fans fire up and Fox drags Knight up. “This is Awesome!” as Fox crisscrosses Knight’s arms. Fox reels Knight in, but Knight rolls Fox up! TWO!! Fox escapes, but Knight DROPKICKS him again! Fox staggers, but he BOOTS back! Fox goes up, but Knight goes to the UPPER ROOM! Somersault, SATELLITE DDT! The fans fire up and Knight goes to the corner! Fox staggers, Knight springboards, FLYING LARIAT! Cover, Knight wins!
Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall
The Jet Liner takes Knight to the winner’s circle! But with Best of the Super Juniors around the corner, will Knight be #The1ULookUp2?
The Gates of Agony speak.
Bishop Kaun applauds, and he says, “That was impressive, wasn’t it? We’re back. And we’re not even hurt. But we don’t mind being hurt.” Toa Liona says, “We don’t.” Kaun says they actually love being hurt! Hurt Syndicate! You hurt people? This Wednesday on Dynamite, the Gates would love to see you try. Hurt Syndicate hurts people? The Gates of Agony BREAK people! See you in Boston! Will Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin still be standing when Kaun & Liona #OpenTheGates?
FTR VS 2Point0!
Dax & Cash want to still be Daniel Garcia’s friends, but Menard & Parker have been Garcia’s friends this whole time. Daddy Magic & Cool Hand Ange have always felt something was off, will they finally take the Top Guys out?
Speaking of Garcia, he makes his way out, as invited by FTR. He still seems to be upset and unsure given FTR lashing out earlier, but he’s still ringside. The teams sort out and Dax BLASTS Parker off the apron! Dax beats up on Menard and then Cash runs up to CLOBBER Parker! The fans boo as Cash sends Parker into railing! And apron! And railing again! And then more railing! Cash stands over Parker, Dax stands over Menard, and Garcia can only watch. Parker gets up to CHOP Cash, Cash hits back! Menard’s already busted open as Dax beats on him! Cash CHOPS Parker, Menard wobbles, but Dax ROCKS Menard!
Cash CHOKES Parker against railing, Dax DECKS Menard, and the fans boo. Dax sits Menard up, and again Garcia can only watch this as Dax hammers away on Menard’s head. Cash then sends Parker into the steel steps! Dax puts Menard in a corner, tells Garcia that this isn’t personal, 2Point0 signed up for this. The fans rally for “DADDY MAGIC!” but Dax throws more fists! Menard is a bloody mess as Dax punches away! The ref backs Dax off, Menard stands like a zombie, and he ROCKS Dax! And ROCKS him again! Menard ROCKS Dax again and again and again in the corner! The fans love it, but Cash storms in to go after Menard!
Cash pulls hair, but Menard DECKS him, too! Menard flounders, Dax LARIATS him down! Parker storms in but Dax has him up! SHATTER MACHINE!! Dax tags Cash, and now they get Menard up. MIND BREAKER!! But they’re not done?! Garcia says c’mon already! FTR still gets Menard up for another MIND BREAKER!! They won’t stop, they get Menard back up! Garcia gets on the apron, he wants the ref to step in already! FTR apologize and they set Menard down. Cover, FTR wins!
Winners: FTR, by pinfall
Garcia is still furious, and he storms into the ring. He checks on Menard, then he gets in Dax’s face! Dax & Cash want Garcia to calm down. They did hear him out in the end there. Garcia says it shouldn’t have taken that! FTR leaves, Garcia helps Menard stand, but then FTR returns! They CLOBBER Garcia! They beat Garcia down while the fans boo! FTR get Garcia up, MIND BREAKER!!! And then they get him back up!? MIND BREAKER!!! The ref shouts at them to stop, the fans boo as hard as they can, but FTR hauls Garcia up again! Security rushes in to stop this! Dax DECKS the ref!! That’s another fine right there!
The fans boo, security try to stop FTR, but FTR gets Garcia up again! BUT WAIT! The Undisputed Kingdom rush in! The paragons of wrestling will not let this injustice continue! They run FTR off, but FTR says they should watch their backs now. Who else will FTR violently disrespect as they demand we respect them?
2025 Women’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Opening Round: Athena VS Harley Cameron!
The LONGEST REIGNING champion in ROH history, and yes that is champion bar none, male or female, is finally getting her shot at history here in AEW. She could very well become a new Double Champion should she win all the way to Double or Nothing and then All In: Texas. But she must first get past one wild Aussie! Will Athena #FeelTheWrath of Harley Cameron? Or will the Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, simply add Harley’s name to the long, long list of fallen opponents?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Athena and Harley circle, feel things out, then tie up. Athena powers Harley to the corner, but she lets off quickly. Harley storms up, Athena shoves her back, then Athena pats Harley on the head. Athena soaks up heat, but Harley headlocks. Athena powers up and out, drops down, but Harley drop toeholds! Harley pats Athena on the head! The fans cheer and Athena says okay, that’s fair. Athena then runs up to roll Harley up, TWO! Harley trips Athena, jackknife bridges, TWO! Athena sunset flips, TWO! Harley high stacks, TWO and Athena sunset flips again, TWO! The fans fire up as the two stand off!
Harley and Athena reset, Athena applauds for Harley, then headlocks! Harley endures the grind, powers out to headlock in return, and now Athena endures. Athena powers up and out to send Harley tot he corner. Athena runs in, Harley slips out to the apron, and Harley blocks a shot to ROUNDHOUSE! Athena staggers, Harley brings her into the ropes to CLUB her! And CHOKE her! The fans fire up, the ref counts, and Harley stops at 4. Harley waistlocks, but Athena fights the lift! Athena runs to the post to HOTSHOT Harley! Then APRON BACK SUPLEX! Athena then wheelbarrows Harley to GERMAN SUPLEX to the floor!
The fans fire up and Athena smiles. The ref checks Harley, she’s okay to continue, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Athena stomps Harley, drags her up, and sends her into steel steps! Harley sputters, Athena refreshes the ring count, and she CLUBS Harley. Harley staggers away, Athena stands her up and ROCKS her! Athena CLUBS away on Harley, pushes her into the ring, and then storms up, but into a cradle! TWO!! Athena escapes, BOOTS Harley down, and scowls. Athena stalks Harley, drags her up, and KNEES her in the side! Athena stalks Harley some more, KNEES her in the side, and then has Harley in the corner. Athena RAMS into Harley, RAMS into her again, then RAMS again! Athena pushes Harley along the ropes but the ref reprimands.
Athena ROCKS Harley, but Harley ROCKS Athena! Athena brings Harley up but Harley ROCKS her again! Athena clamps on a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Then she suplexes high and hard! Athena kips up, fires up, and Collision goes to break.
Collision returns as Athena has Harley in a Bow ‘n’ Arrow stretch! Harley endures, pries at the facelock portion, but Athena thrashes Harley. Harley pops free to a cover, TWO! Athena knees low, whips, but Harley reverses to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! The fans fire up, Harley brings Athena up, but Athena shoves her away. SOBAT! LEG SWEEP! Athena runs, and SUPERKICKS! Cover, TWO! Harley survives and Athena grows frustrated. Athena stalks Harley to ropes, KICKS her in the side, then brings her up to scoop and carry her! Athena puts Harley in the Tree of Woe, then KICKS! KICKS! And KICKS!
The ref counts, Athena backs off, and Athena cheers herself on. Athena runs, but Harley sits up over the sweep! Harley KICKS from upside-down, then wrenches to NECKBREAKER! The fans fire up, Harley runs up, and LARIATS! ENZIGIRI! Harley brings Athena up to BULLDOG HOTSHOT, and then Harley fires off on Athena in the ropes! The fans fire up, the ref counts, Harley shots “FEEL THE WRATH!” AX KICK! Athena falls back, Harley storms in and goes up the corner. Harley aims, leaps, CROSSBODY! Athena rolls through to scoop Harley! The fans fire up as Athena pops Harley up, but Harley fights! Harley RANAS!
Athena rises to SUPERKICK! The fans are torn, Athena springboards, but into a HAYMAKER!! Harley has Athena now, pump handle and SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!! Athena survives but Harley won’t give up! “This is Awesome!” as Harley and Athena both slowly rise. Harley fires up, brings Athena around, dragon sleeper for HER FINISHING- NO, Athena cartwheels free! Athena reels Harley in, Canadian Rack, but Harley slips free! Harley tilt-o-whirls and rolls Athena up, TWO!! Harley wrenches again, SOLE FOOD! Harley runs, but Athena pops her up, POWERBOMB! High stack, TWO, deadlift POWERBOMB!
Athena reels Harley back in, ATAXIA KNEE STRIKE!! Athena then climbs, Harley rises, O FACE!!! Cover, Athena wins!
Winner: Athena, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
Athena stays undefeated in any and all kinds of matches, and she holds up her ROH Women’s World Championship, as well as her spinner belt variant. But now she runs into Mercedes Mone, their battle set for Boston and the Dynamite edition of Spring Breakthru! Will Mone win in her hometown to head for Double or Nothing? Or will Athena derail the Money Train and be that much closer to a match in her hometown of Arlington, Texas?
Mercedes Mone speaks.
“Springfieeeeeld~! Sorry the Money Train skipped your pathetic town. But then next stop for me in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament is in my hometown of Boston. That’s right, it was a little over a year ago where I made my AEW debut in the City of Champions. It was in that very moment that I had the biggest dream of holding all the championship gold! And now the Money Train is only two stops away from All In: Texas. And Athena, you are just a speedbump on my track to success. The Forever ROH Champion, Athena, you are one of the very best of all time, and you proved that tonight against Harley Cameron.
“But you’re competing against me, Four Belts Mone, the greatest TBS Champion of all time. So this Wednesday at Dynamite, I am going to show you why Money Changes Everything. And the best woman will win, and that woman is me, darling.” Mone is ready, but will she put her money where her mouth is against the Fallen Goddess?
2025 Men’s Owen Hart Foundation Tournament Opening Round: Konosuke Takeshita VS Brody King w/ Julia Hart!
Just last night for NJPW Windy City Riot, The Alpha just went toe-to-toe with The Ace, Hiroshi Tanahashi, as part of the Ace Final Road series. And as big as that moment was, this could be even bigger! Konosuke wants to fulfill Don Callis’ prophecy of a “Proto-shita” finals at Double or Nothing, will he be one step closer to realizing that dream match? Or will the King of Death end The Alpha right here and now?
The bell rings and the fans fire up already. The two tie up, are in a deadlock, and Brody powers Konosuke to a corner. The ref counts, Brody lets off slowly, but Konosuke avoids the chop! Konosuke headlocks, Brody powers up and out, and they RAM shoulders! Neither man falls and the fans fire up! Brody swings, Konosuke dodges to come back and ROCK Brody! Brody comes back, runs through the CHOP, then RAMS Konosuke! Konosuke rebounds, ducks the lariat, and he returns again, but Brody’s CHOP knocks him down! The fans bark for Brody and he drags Konosuke up. Brody scoops, Konosuke slips free, but Brody fires elbows!
Brody switches to hit a BIG back suplex! The fans fire up, and Brody has Konosuke in a corner. Brody CHOPS and the fans fire up! The Princess of the Black Throne smiles as Brody fires forearms and CHOPS! The fans fire up more as Brody whips corner to corner. Konosuke hits buckles hard then falls in a heap! Brody huffs ‘n’ puffs, runs up, but Konosuke avoids a senton! Konosuke goes up to SECOND ROPE SENTON! The fans fire up while Brody bails out. Brody is on the apron, Konosuke storms up to ROCK him! Konosuke ROCKS Brody again, then runs, but Brody BOOTS him! Konosuke drops to his knees, Brody hauls him up and suplexes!
Konosuke lands safe on the apron and BOOTS Brody! Then he reels Brody in! Brody fights with elbows, then fireman’s carries! Konosuke fights with elbows, but Brody still APRON DEATH VALLEY DRIVERS!! Both men fall to the floor and the fans fire up! Julia also applauds while Brody rises. Brody shakes out the cobwebs, drags Konosuke up, and he puts Konosuke in the ring. The fans rally for Brody but Konosuke bails out the side. Brody barks, the fans join in, and Brody runs up, but Konosuke JUMP KNEES! Konosuke goes into the ring, builds speed, and he FLIES! Direct hit and down goes Brody! The fans lose their minds while Collision goes picture in picture!
Konosuke and Brody are both down, Julia coaches Brody while the fans rally. Konosuke stands Brody up but Brody CHOPS! Konosuke ROCKS Brody! Brody leans against the barriers, but Konosuke CHOPS him! And CHOPS! And then whips him hard into barriers! Brody slumps down and Konosuke refreshes the ring count. Julia again coaches Brody but Konosuke is back. Brody ROCKS Konosuke! Konosuke ROCKS Brody! Konosuke pushes Brody into the ring, stalks behind him, then snapmares. Konosuke clamps on a chinlock and squeezes tight. Brody endures, Julia rallies the fans, and Brody pries at the hold.
Konosuke thrashes Brody around, grinds him into the mat, but the fans continue to rally. Brody fights up, fires body shots, but Konosuke shifts his grip. Brody fights the lift with elbows, then runs, but into a mule kick! DDT! Konosuke snarls as he rises up, and now Konosuke goes up the corner! But Brody rises to CHOP first! Brody climbs up, CLUBS away on Konosuke’s back, then brings him to the very top! SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men writhe and the fans fire up! Collision returns to single picture, Julia and the fans rally again, and a standing count is climbing. Both men are down at 5 of 10, but crawling for corners.
Konosuke drags himself up, “This is Awesome!” as Brody rises. Brody barks, the fans bark with him, and Brody runs corner to corner, CANNONBALL! Cover, TWO! Konosuke survives and Brody snarls. Brody drags Konosuke up, reels him in, but Konosuke fights the lift! Brody ROCKS Konosuke, Konosuke ROCKS Brody! The forearms go back and forth, and Brody CHOPS! Konosuke sits down, but Brody stands him back up. Konosuke fires a forearm, but Brody fires back. Konosuke fires a flurry, then winds up, and ALPHA ELBOWS! Brody stays up!? And he ROCKS Konosuke! And CHOPS him! And CHOPS! And then puts some stank on the CHOP!!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
From trumping The Ace to trumping a King, Konosuke is the hot hand in this tournament to be sure! The Alpha looks to the Owen Hart Cup and vows it will be his! But will he be able to overcome the #BillyGOAT, Will Ospreay? Or will the Aerial Assassin be the one going Double or Nothing?
My Thoughts:
A great, maybe even awesome episode of Collision here. Even with things being mostly obvious results, it was all top level stuff. Knight VS Fox was great stuff to help keep Knight sharp in AEW. Best of the Super Juniors starts in May, so he’s got about another month where he will still be hanging in AEW, Knight can surely get a couple more wins before going back to Japan for that tournament. Gates of Agony of course won their match, but I like that they called out the Hurt Syndicate. I feel like they won’t win the title match with them, but it’s good to see the Gates finally moving up to this level and not just languishing in ROH.
Great match from Bowens VS Blake, and a great win for Bowens. Very good promo from Bowens, I’m sure he’ll get more wins and maybe even go for a title. Well, depending on where the different midcard belts are going, Bowens might have to wait a minute, given the tease of Omega VS Okada as of late. Good promo from the Death Riders as they have adjust after Pac gets injured. At the same time, Hook should be alright from the dizziness and possible concussion, as nothing has been said further. Death Riders VS Opps for the trios titles will be great stuff, but even doing it for a themed episode doesn’t make me think Death Riders lose. It’d be nice if they did, though…
Good Heel promo from FTR, though it didn’t say much more than Dax did passive aggressively a couple weeks ago: Cope kept FTR from what FTR wanted, which glosses over how The Death Riders kinda got at them, too; and the loss at Dynasty was just the last straw. Them threatening Schiavone & Nigel was a nice touch, as was getting Garcia into the story given he teamed with them against Undisputed Kingdom. Menard & Parker stepping up for Garcia was good, and wow did Menard bleed for that match. FTR of course win, and then them brutalizing 2Point0 to bring out Undisputed Kingdom (well, I guess they’re trying Paragon, since Schiavone mentioned that) was good, too.
Dax & Cash are tag guys so they won’t bother with the TNT Championship, but I could see them taking on Roddy & Kyle one more time, then we’d get Dax & Cash VS Cole & Garcia. At least, maybe? Just something that’ll help FTR get back up and maybe go for tag titles. Megan beating two opponents at once was a good way to step things up in her rebound from Dynasty. I wonder if she’ll keep doing that until running into some new rival. I say that as it seems we won’t be getting her and Toni Storm in a rematch.
Toni Storm had a great promo to call out all the remaining Women’s Owen Hart Cup entries, but I find it interesting that she had no quip for Kris, just a compliment. Makes me wonder if Kris is destined to win the tournament and go to All In with Toni. And of course, great stuff in all of the Owen Hart Cup matches. Jamie VS Billie was a great rematch, but I shouldn’t be surprised Jamie wins again. Jamie VS Kris will be great stuff to lead into Double or Nothing. Then, great stuff from Athena VS Harley, certainly one of Harley’s better matches. But at the same time, of course Athena won to face Mone. Good promo from Mone to call Athena out, their match is going to be awesome, hard to say who wins that.
Konosuke VS Brody was also great, definitely a great main event. Of course Konosuke won. He’s NEVER Openweight Champion, the Don Callis Family keeps their idea of All Don Callis Family alive a little longer, and Konosuke VS Ospreay is going to be awesome stuff. I still think Ospreay wins and meets Kyle in the main event, but I suppose that still depends on how Hangman VS Wild Card goes.
My Score: 8.9/10
