PLAY BY PLAY

NXT North American Championship: Tony D’Angelo w/ The D’Angelo Family VS Ridge Holland!

A golden NXT begins with The Don stepping to the man who tried to ruin Christmas! Will NXT still belong to Tony D? Or will Ridge the Fridge put him on ice?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s really got grit!

The two tie up with the bell, then go around the ring. They end up on ropes, in a corner, back on ropes, then they break. The fans rally, Tony and Ridge tie up again, then Ridge waistlocks, spins Tony, and UPPERCUTS! Tony fires back and the fans fire up! The shots go back and forth, but then Ridge kicks low. Ridge headlocks, Tony powers up and out, but Ridge RUNS Tony over! The fans boo and Tony gets up in a huff. They tie up again, Ridge headlocks, but fans taunt him with “No One Likes You!” Tony powers up and out, drops down, but Ridge ducks ‘n’ dodges. But then Tony hip tosses Ridge, and RUNS him over!

The fans fire up with Tony, and he dodges a haymaker to hit a headlock takeover! Ridge fights around, fights up, and he powers up and puts Tony on ropes. The fans rally for Tony while the ref counts. Ridge lets off, and Tony throws hands! Ridge ROCKS Tony in return, has him in a corner, and then fires body shots. Ridge whips, Tony reverses, then he dodges to FLYING PUNCH! Tony whips Ridge to a corner, then BACKDROPS Ridge on the rebound! The fans cheer while Tony paces. Ridge slowly rises, but wait, Shawn Spears is here? The fans boo The Chair Man but he tells Tony to focus on Ridge. Tony has The Family watch Spears closely while NXT goes picture in picture.

Tony glares at Spears before he goes back to Ridge. But Ridge takes a swing! Tony dodges, and then Tony LARIATS Ridge up and out! Tony hurries to go after Ridge, then SMACKS him off the apron! But then Ridge RAMS Tony into a post! And then Ridge just POSTS Tony! Tony slumps against the steel, but Ridge pulls his arm through the corner. Ridge SLAMS the arm against the post! Ridge pushes Tony into the ring, storms in after him, but Tony fires haymakers! Ridge kicks low, then he RAMS Tony into the buckles! Spears is amused while Ridge drops a KNEE onto Tony’s arm! Tony writhes but Ridge stands him up.

Ridge UPPERCUTS the arm, RAMS the shoulder, then CHOPS! Ridge RAMS Tony again, but Tony rolls Ridge up! TWO, and Ridge kicks Tony in the shin! Ridge then WRINGS the arm out! Tony writhes more, but Ridge then clamps on for an armlock. Ridge stands over Tony as he puts the pressure on, but the fans and The Family coach Tony up. Tony fights up, fires haymakers again, but Ridge wrenches to WRING the arm again! Ridge drops KNEES on the arm again, then clamps onto Tony with the armlock. Tony endures, the fans rally, and Spears continues to be amused as NXT returns to single picture.

Tony fights up, fires haymakers, but Ridge wrenches again. Tony still fires haymakers! Tony ROCKS Ridge, goes to a corner, but Ridge runs in! Tony dodges to DECK Ridge! And DECK him again! Tony whips, then runs, to FLYING PUNCH again! Then he clinches for a BELLY2BELLY! The fans fire up and Tony reels Ridge in! FISHERMAN SUPLEX, and a float to the cover! TWO!! Ridge survives, but the fans are all behind Tony. Spears looks worried now, but Tony clinches. Ridge KNEES free of the spinebuster! But then Tony ROCKS Ridge! Ridge ROCKS Tony! They go back and forth, but then Tony FLYING PUNCHES! Ridge BOOTS back!

Ridge has the half nelson, HALF ‘N’ HALF PLEX! Cover, TWO! Tony survives and Spears looks annoyed. The fans fire up but Ridge roars! Tony rises, Ridge runs up, but Tony dodges the lariat, and the Southpaw! SPEAR!! But then speaking of Spears, he gets on the apron! The fans boo, but Tony DECKS Spears! The Family storms up but then Niko Vance & Brooks Jensen attack! The ref calls for reinforcements, but Tony goes back to Ridge. Ridge body shots, but wait! IZZI DAME!? She BOOTS Ridge! SPINEBUSTER from Tony! Tony high stacks, and WINS!

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

The irony here is sweet! Spears has been trying to recruit The It Girl to his team, but she made sure things went the other way! She says they’re even, so will Spears have to just FOGEDABOUTIT?

 

Dion Lennox and others talk backstage.

But then in steps Wes Lee, Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe. Wes tells Dion that he’s a funny guy. Why is that? Because what he said to Oba last week, how Dion is championship material and could actually beat him one day. Dion says that’s not Wes, so why not Dion? Uh, because there’s a very drastic difference between a superstar with “potential” like Dion, and one who is a decorated superstar like Wes. Dion wants Wes to hold on. Maybe he can prove his “potential” by beating a former champion like Wes. Wes says Dion will realize he has a long, long way to go before that. So Wes will see Dion around.

Wait, Trick Williams just walked in! And Wes says look at that! Another former champion! Tricky Willy is back! From the penthouse to the outhouse! It must stink knowing that Eddy Thorpe’s getting another shot while- TRICK SLAPS WES!! Wes falls right over, and Trick stares everyone else down. No one steps to Trick, so who will Trick step to now that he’s back?

 

Bayley is here!

The Role Model is back again because after last week’s brawl, a certain Prodigy has been following her to both SmackDown and Raw. The fans again chant “Welcome Back!” “Welcome Home!” and Bayley says yeah, this IS her home! And that’s why last week, she came out here to talk with Roxanne Perez. Bayley cares about Roxie, about the legacy she is building, and everything Roxie has done for NXT. But all that got Bayley was a big ol’ slap in the face. The fans boo that, but Bayley continues to bring up how Roxie said Bayley was just acting like CM Punk and Natalya. To Bayley, that’s a compliment!

People like Punk and Natty built the foundation they’re all walking on. Natty showed Bayley how to give back and how to help. So Bayley isn’t here because NXT owes her something. NXT doesn’t even owe Roxie! If anything, Bayley owes NXT to get rid of “entitled little idiots like Roxanne Perez!” Fans cheer, “I LOVE YOU, BAYLEY~!” a la Jacob Fatu. Bayley says she loves them, too. And maybe deep down, Roxie “loves” Bayley, because Roxie talked crap to Bayley during a title match with Tiffany Stratton, then showed up to Raw last night to try and put her hands on Bayley during her match with Nia Jax. Rox, c’mon!

Maybe Bayley gave Roxie too much credit, because that’s all really lame. She thought Roxie would have a better plan than that. That’s like small ball. That doesn’t prove Roxie is ready for Raw and SmackDown. That doesn’t even prove Roxie is ready to be a leader of the youngest locker room in WWE right now! There’s Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, Lola Vice, all of these girls are eager to prove themselves worthy of an opportunity. And with a champion like Giulia, then sky’s the limit! Wait, speaking of Giulia, here she comes! The fans fire up again as the NEW NXT Women’s Champion is here to meet Bayley face to face!

The Beautiful Madness has the mic to tell Bayley, “Coming from Japan and seeing part of, I wanted you. I wanted to be in NXT!” The fans cheer that. Giulia joins Bayley in the ring, and Giulia says Roxie may not look up to Bayley, but Giulia does. The fans also cheer that! Giulia says she hopes to hold this title with as much honor and love for NXT as Bayley did. Bayley thanks Giulia for that, that means a lot, because she has so much respect for Giulia. Bayley’s also a big fan of hers. When Giulia won the title, Bayley was so happy. And Bayley knows Giulia will make historic moments of her own, because this title changes your career, your life, and means everything to all of us here.

That title changed the landscape of the Women’s Division, not just in NXT but in WWE. Before Bayley can say more, Roxie makes her way out here, Cora Jade by her side. And Roxie of course has a mic, to say this is “boring~!” Roxie is surprised Bayley is showing her face after two embarrassing losses. Roxie is so happy she was in the front row to see those. But seriously, drop the act, stop acting innocent, because if Bayley actually cared about the WWE’s future, Bayley wouldn’t have punched Roxie in the face last night! And Roxie isn’t the only one who sees through Bayley. Cora does, too! Right, Cora? Can you actually believe this was their role model?

Roxie & Cora laugh but Bayley says it is hard to hear them because the fans are booing so loud. Roxie tells the fans to shut up, but they just boo harder. And Bayley asks what Cora’s even doing here! Cora says she is here because she was once a “naive” Bayley fan, too! But Roxie is right, Cora sees it! Bayley is not a role model! Role models aren’t part of NXT “when it’s cool.” Role models build this place up when people like Bayley choose to leave it. As far as they’re concerned, Giulia might as well hand the title back to Roxie here and now, because no one can carry it the way Roxie did. No one loves NXT like Roxie & Cora! And they didn’t need to compete overseas to see it.

Roxie & Cora have been holding it together since day one! Roxie again tells the fans to shut up, because she has something important to say! The fans keep booing, so Roxie says fine! She’ll just talk to Bayley, not the idiot fans. Roxie will not take anything away from what Bayley has done. Bayley’s done it all in WWE. She’s the 2024 Royal Rumble Winner, won championships at WrestleMania, and most importantly, she inspired little girls like Roxie & Cora. But thank you for your service because it is no longer required. Bye-bye~! The fans continue to boo and Bayley smiles. Roxie says everyone should be booing Bayley!

And why? Because Bayley’s been looking at the NXT Women’s Championship! Bayley wants to be the number one woman in the number one women’s division. Because deep, deep down, it has succeeded even the Four Horsewomen. So Bayley should tell her new friend, Giulia, the truth! Tell her why you’re here, Bayley! Fans tell Roxie to “Shut The Hell Up!” Bayley & Giulia look to each other, and they agree on something. They go after Cora & Roxie! The fans fir e up for the brawl! Bayley ash Cora, Giulia has Roxie, but then Cora gets free of a clinch! Roxie gets free of one, too, and the two regroup as they retreat!

The fans cheer as Role Model and Beautiful Madness stand tall, will they look to put the mean girls in their place?

 

The rest of the Women’s Division watches.

Jaida Parker loves what she sees! Bayley mentioning her two weeks in a row, everyone heard it! Kelani Jordan says yeah, but she’s not the only one. Bayley mentioned Kelani, too. Jaida says okay, this “attitude” Kelani is trying on ain’t it, so go back to the drawing board, because the only real one is right here looking at you. Kelani says being rude doesn’t make you “real,” Jaida. Well, being pretty doesn’t mean you have to be rude, Kelani. JAIDA is the one being rude! Karmen Petrovic says it doesn’t matter, because love is in the air! Karmen loves Kelani for being so sweet, and Jaida- Jaida says she dares her to say something.

Kelani is about to go off because Jaida brushed her aside, but Sol Ruca & Zaria keep her back. Karmen asks why Jaida’s coming at her, and Jaida asks why Karmen’s always up in people’s business. Oh, is it cuz she finally got a kiss from a guy who’s gonna dump her in a few months anyway? Don’t interrupt. Oh, wow, “finally got a kiss?” Karmen kissed Adonis. So watch how you talk about her and her man. Wow, “her man?” Yeah, and if Karmen interrupts Jaida again, what’s she gonna do? Jaida pushes Karmen back and says that’s Nikkita’s man, get it right. Dani Palmer and Brinley Reece now step in to keep the peace.

WAIT! The brawl at the ring started up again!? Bayley & Giulia are again throwing hands with Cora & Roxie! The fans cheer “NXT! NXT!” but then Cora POSTS Giulia! Bayley THROWS Roxie into barriers, and NXT goes picture in picture!

Security finally rushes out there to try and stop this, but then Bayley helps Giulia against Cora in the ring! Security hurries to stop that but the mugging is 3v2! Giulia HEADBUTTS Cora outta the ring, but then Roxie CLOBBERS Bayley! Roxie and Giulia brawl, Bayley is back up, and Cora returns, too! The refs and security separate the four, but then Bayley breaks loose to JUMP at Roxie & Cora! Giulia follows after, it’s a lot of wild fists and black leather pants! Roxie & Cora stand down again, but then Bayley & Giulia run back up! Roxie and Bayley scrap to the mat, Giulia and Cora aren’t far behind! Bayley TOSSES Roxie, then TOSSES Cora!

The brawling finally stops, or rather stops again, and refs usher Cora & Roxie away. Ava Raine is there, but then Giulia & Bayley storm in! The brawling is happening right in front of the NXT General Manager! She shouts for this to stop but that’s easier said than done! Dion Lennox does his best to get by, his match with Wes is next! Will Dion level up taking on the former NXT North American Champion?

Dion Lennox VS Wes Lee w/ Tyson Dupont & Tyriek Igwe!

The bell rings and Wes throws his jacket! Dion gets blinded and Wes HANDSPRING KICKS him down! The fans boo, Wes stomps away, but then Wes lets off as the ref counts. Dion bails out, Wes builds speed and DIVES! Down goes Dion and the fans boo more. Wes puts Dion, storm sin, but Dion FLAPJACKS Wes high! Dion fires up, and he rallies on Wes with ELBOW after ELBOW! #GameMode has activated, and Dion TACKLES Wes! Dion rains down forearms and fists, but Wes scrambles away to ropes. Dion ROCKS Wes with a haymaker! Dion whips, but Wes KICKS him back! Dion shakes that off, and he scoops Wes!

Wes fights free, mule kicks a leg out, then runs, but into a SHOULDER TACKLE! Dion fires up while Wes goes to a corner. Ty & Ty coach Wes up while Dion runs in, and Wes BOOTS him! Wes ROUNDHOUSES Dion, then runs, but into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Wes survives but Dion drags him right up. Dion suplexes, but Wes knees free! Wes wrenches and HOOK KICKS! Then HEEL KICKS! Dion wobbles, so Wes ENZIGIRIS! Wes handsprings, CARDIAC KICK! Cover, Wes wins!

Winner: Wes Lee, by pinfall

The Cardiac Kid was on the defensive against the former linebacker, but he found a way to score the win. Wes says so much for championship material. That takes care of Dion, so TRICK! You think you’re that man? Walking into the locker room and slapping Wes in the face!? Wes will take care of Trick next week in Atlanta! And if you think you- Well, here comes trick now! Ty & Ty run up but Trick DECKS Tyson! Trick storms in and ROCKS Wes again and again! Wes flounders out, and Trick says if Wes wants it in Atlanta next week, then he’s got it! Trick storms out, pushes past Dion, ready for a fight. Will Trick be a house of fire until he takes back his title?

 

Sarah Schreiber gives us BREAKING NEWS!

After the confrontation earlier tonight, NXT GM Ava has made a match: Brooks Jensen & Niko Vance VS Luca Crusifino & Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo! But now, welcome her guest at this time, Stephanie Vaquer! La Primera steps onto the set, and Sarah says that Stephanie did win the #1 contender’s spot for the Women’s North American Championship, but then Shotzi Blackheart pinned Fallon Henley directly. Then Shotzi beat- Vaquer stops Sarah there, and says yes, she is still THE #1 Contender. Fatal Influence is already doing everything they can to stop her.

But Vaquer arrived in NXT, and she is not going to stop just because Fallon is playing games. Or because Shotzi benefitted from the situation. Vaquer adds in Spanish, then translates, that if Shotzi becomes champion, she will meet Hell. And Fallon, you can run, but you can’t hide from La Diabla. The Dark Angel is ready to destroy whoever is champion, so who will have a date with Vaquer for Vengeance Day?

 

NXT Heritage Cup Championship: Lexis King VS Charlie Dempsey w/ No Quarter Catch Crew!

It takes time to turn over a new leaf, but perhaps The Drama King has truly done that. He chose to win honorably, owned up to mistakes and controversy, and is even willing to clear the air once and for all. Will King keep the throne after going a few more rounds? Or will the No Quarter Catch Crew soon have the cup back in their possession?

NXT returns as NQCC enters all together. The introductions are made, the cup is raised, and one way or another, we put an end to this chapter!

King does Dempsey dirty, and that seemed a lot more blatant than that noggin knocker last time! A win is a win, but does the apple really not fall far from the tree? Will King stay the champion while also being his father’s son?

 

Bianca Belair & Naomi speak.

The EST tells Lash Legend & Jakara, “Y’all putting in that work to become #1 contenders, because of course y’all want a shot at our titles.” The Glow says The Bougie Bully is bringing the size and power, while Miss Jackson if ya nasty, she has the athleticism. But they might’ve forgotten just who The Glow & EST are. Because nobody does those things better than them. So bring all that and more to Atlanta if you wanna take these titles off the champs. Will Meta Four be the ones next week? Or will they just feel the StrongEST Glow ever?

 

Hank ‘n’ Tank talk with Andre Chase.

The big belly boys are a bit worried about Mr. Chase. They’re not even mad about him walking out on them, they just want to know how they can help. Chase says they should just break up as a team now. All tag teams end in heartbreak anyway. Kelani Jordan walks past as Chase says everyone is better off just looking out for themselves. Hank ‘n’ Tank say not this team. Chase says forget he even said it then. Chase heads out, but he finds other superstars watching a highlight reel of Chase’s best rage moments. Kale Dixon tells Mr. Chase he was so badass! Chase says yeah, he was

But Chase U is dead. Chase leaves and Kale says it doesn’t have to be! Can Kale find a way to revive Chase’s school spirit?

 

Karmen Petrovic w/ Ashante THEE Adonis VS Jaida Parker!

Love is in the air, but when it’s NXT, there’s also a lot of tension. The Blackbelt Beauty was just trying to keep the peace, but Miss Parker is always ready for a fight. Will Karmen kick ass on the road to Vengeance Day? Or will Jaida make sure the lovebirds don’t make it #OutTheMud?

NXT returns and Jaida makes her entrance. She didn’t bring her boys, Nima & Price, so she’s annoyed to see Adonis ringside. The bell rings, the two tie up, and Karmen waistlocks. Jaida THROWS Karmen away and the fans duel. Karmen gets up, Jaida mocks the crane stance, but then Kamren starts throwing kicks! Jaida hurries to a corner, and the two reset.

Cover, TWO! Jaida survives the #Shingblade, but Karmen aims!

Jaida ducks the roundhouse, then she BACK ELBOWS Karmen down! Jaida drags Karmen up to GOURD BUSTER! Then Jaida builds speed for the- WAIT, Kelani is here! She stands in Jaida’s way, and Karmen rolls Jaida up! KARMEN WINS!

Winner: Karmen Petrovic, by pinfall

Karmen celebrates with her man Adonis, and Jaida is pissed at Kelani! Will Kelani not stand for the disrespect? Or will she get knocked out for it?

 

Meta Four meet backstage.

Jakara and Lash heard what Naomi & Bianca had to say, but then wait! Sol & Zaria, Jakara can guess what you want: The first opportunity at the NEW WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Sol asks if they understand how big their match is next week. Uh, duh! Zaria doesn’t think so. Not only do they have the chance to become WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, but they can bring those titles back to NXT, the best women’s division in the world. Uh, wow, Sol, you have a point. This IS the biggest match of their career. And Lash gets to go back to her hometown to do it! She can compete in front of her friends and family!

And Meta Four gets to step into the ring with two former WWE Women’s Champions. And even if Naomi & Bianca are two of the most accomplished women in WWE history, the Bougie Bully & Miss Jackson will bring that action. Because when they do, everyone here can get a shot at the champs. Tatum Paxley & Gigi Dolin walk in. Did Gigi hear that? Oh, she sure did, Tatum. They like the sound of it. So then it’s agreed: Meta Four better bring those titles home. Oh, they will! Let’s do it, girls~! Fatal Influence also eyes this from the background. Will the line be out the door should Naomi & Bianca lose to Meta Four?

 

Brooks Jensen & Niko Vance w/ Shawn Spears VS Luca Crusifino & Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo w/ Adriana Rizzo!

It’s been very obvious The Chair Man has been after the North American Championship, and with that, Tony D’Angelo. Spears has even done his best to gather “lost souls” to his side so that they can all take over NXT together. Will that start here as Brooks & Niko take on Luca & Stacks? Or will Tony’s Consigliere and Underboss handle business?

The D’Angelo Family doesn’t wait, they attack Jensen & Niko at the ramp! The fans fire up as the brawl is on like it was earlier tonight! Stacks sends Jensen into the ring, Niko and Luca continue to brawl on the outside, and then Jensen TOSSES Stacks back out!

Stacks LARIATS Jensen up and out, the bell finally rings, and Luca dodges Niko to KNEE him down! Luca drags Niko over, tags Stacks, and they double wrench, DOUBLE ELBOW, then DOUBLE BOOT!

Niko sputters, Stacks brings him around to UPPERCUT! Stacks whips, but Niko blocks and reverses! Niko runs in at the corner, but Stacks BOOTS him away! Stacks slides under to UPPERCUT Niko! The fans fire up, Stacks puts Niko in the ropes, and then UPPERCUTS and ROCKS him! Stacks UPPERCUTS again, then runs to BOOT Niko down! Jensen returns but Stacks throws him tot he apron! Luca runs up but Jensen CLOBBERS him! Stacks triangle jump DROPKICKS Jensen down! Luca returns, he helps Stacks FLY! Down go The Chair Man’s henchmen and the fans fire up!

The D’Angelos whip Niko, BODY BLOW then KNEE LIFT! Niko staggers, Stacks runs, but Jensen trips him up! Jensen drags Stacks out to RAM him into the apron! Niko reels Luca in for a SAIDO! Spears barks orders, Niko RAMS into Luca again and again! Niko whips Luca corner to corner hard, and Luca falls! Niko tags Jensen, they mug Luca, then Jensen short arm LARIATS!

The fans aren’t happy, but Spears is very, very pleased. His soldiers savagely stuck it to The Don’s men, but will they find their way to the NXT Tag Team Championships?

 

Backstage interview with Nathan Frazer & Axiom.

Sarah is with #Fraxiom, and she brings up how they made a surprise appearance at TNA Genesis on Sunday, but also wants to talk last week’s successful tag title defense. Frazer says yes, thank you, Sarah. And there wasn’t a doubt in their minds! Right, amigo? Axiom is sure there was a little doubt. OTM was coming off a brawl with Briggs & Inamura yet they still threw Fraxiom all over the ring. It was close. Plus, DIY was watching! Axiom feels that in this tag team division, you just never know. Frazer says yes, but he does! And he knows that they are the best team on the planet!

And this Thursday, against TNA’s Rascalz, Frazer knows- Briggs & Inamura storm in. “What part of ‘We got next’ do you two not understand?” Fraxiom takes one field trip to TNA and they just forget? Briggs doesn’t know if he likes that or not. Inamura says, “Exactly.” They call themselves the best? But are they dodging Briggs & Inamura? Frazer says hold on, Inamura-san. There’s a difference between a tag team wanting a match, and actually deserving one. Besides, who’d Briggs ever beat? But then OTM storms in! Bronco Nima & Lucien Price want more with Briggs & Inamura! So they get more! It’s another backstage brawl!

Briggs takes on Nima, Inamura has Price, but Robert Stone & Stevie Turner are there to call in refs and security! The chaos continues, will Briggs & Inamura have to settle things with Price & Nima before they go for gold? Will Fraxiom #NeverSlowDown, even after going through TNA Impact?

 

Dion Lennox rages backstage.

He shoves road cases and throws spare ladders, then he throws his glasses and shouts, “F THIS PLACE!” Dion storms off, and cameras pan over to Izzi Dame and Tony D’Angelo. Izzi says Spears might have a crush on her, or is just delusional, she’s not sure which. Tony says yeah, they could go on and on about Spears, but he has places to be. Right. Izzi says again that they’re even now, so she heads out. The Family catches up with The Don and asks why he wasn’t out there with them. Tony says he would’ve, but Izzi kept wanting to talk. Anyway, how’d they do? They lost. They were mostly waiting for Tony and were starting to get worried.

Spears was out there with his guys but- Tony says hey, he’s fine, he was just busy with Izzi. But T, they needed you. Tony says Stacks has been the Underboss for two years now. He can figure things out on his own, can’t he? Tony heads out, will Stacks step up to lead on his own? And back to Dion, is he quitting NXT over what happened with Wes and Trick?

 

Ethan Page speaks.

“I didn’t wanna have to do that to you, Dante. I was riding high after All Ego finally shook hands with The Final Boss. Dante, you wanted to stand on some moral high ground. Now you can’t even stand at all.” Ethan smiles, and says, “It still echoes through my head. I never knew I’d enjoy the sound of human bones breaking, you screaming out in pain. Just like Cedric Alexander. Just like Je’Von Evans. Now Je’Von, you must never wanna speak normal again. Why else would you come to the ring in the stage that you are in? I blasted you in the face one time, and I drew blood. This is your last warning. The next time we cross paths, it won’t just be one punch.

“I. Won’t. Stop.” All Ego is going all psycho, what will stop him from doing that to the rest of the NXT roster?

 

Je’Von Evans meets with Ava Raine.

Je’Von says Ava saw what Ethan did. Like, everyone saw it! He needs to get after Ethan! Ava says yes, she gets it, but his jaw is still broken, and he almost re-broke it with that stunt last week. She talked with medical, Je’Von is anything but cleared. Yeah… But turns out, he is cleared. Cedric Alexander returns! Je’Von says sup, Unc! Cedric says hey, don’t worry about it. He’ll get Ethan for both of them. Ava says good, and Je’Von & Cedric head out. Only for Grayson Waller & Austin Theory to walk in… A-Town Down Under just want to tell Ava that she is doing an amazing job! Way better than Nick Aldis is, that’s for sure.

But Ava isn’t just a GM, she’s the Final Boss of NXT! They like her way more than The Rock. Whoa, okay, hold on… Ava appreciates all this, but they were supposed to meet next week. Why’re they here now? Waller says that’s the thing. But they’re good guys, so they wanted to personally thank her for allowing the winner of tonight’s NXT Championship match to get the Grayson Waller Rub on the Grayson Waller Effect next week in Atlanta! Theory’s hometown, A-Town, and he is, or rather they are, a pretty big deal down there. So if Ava could, maybe just have some extra security ready for that.

And they’re here anyway, so maybe they can watch the main event? Seriously, they won’t do anything, they just want to watch. They love wrestling! ATDU is back in NXT, but will they be welcoming The Ruler or The Alpha Wolf for a Hotlanta edition of The Grayson Waller Effect? We’re about to find out in a matter of moments!

 

NXT Championship: Oba Femi VS Eddy Thorpe!

The Ruler was once framed for the attack on The Alpha Wolf, but then he got even on the night of New Year’s Evil. Trick Williams is no longer part of the equation, but will the result still be the same? Or can Eddy dethrone Oba in his first defense?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and it is time to see who is truly leading this new era!

The bell rings and the fans chant, “Oba’s Gonna Kill~ You!” Oba and Eddy circle, Eddy BOOTS Oba, but then bobs ‘n’ weaves to KCIK! Oba gets his hands on Eddy, THROWS him to a corner, then runs up. Eddy dodges and ENZIGIRIS! Eddy waistlocks to GERMAN SUPLEX! Eddy runs to then TOMAHAWK ELBOW! Cover, ONE!! The fans fire up and Oba glares at Eddy. Eddy hurries to KCIK, KICK, and run! Oba LARIATS Eddy down! The fans fire up and Oba stalks Eddy to a corner. Oba TOSSES Eddy across the way, then he storms up on Eddy again. Oba TOSSES Eddy the other way, then he puts Eddy on ropes.

Oba whips, and he BACKDROPS Eddy! Eddy’s hangtime was insane! The fans fire up with Oba but Eddy bails out. Oba doesn’t let Eddy rest, he ROCKS him and puts him back in the ring! Eddy hurries up but Oba avoids the elbow drop! Then Oba drags Eddy to the apron. But Eddy avoids the clubbing forearm! Oba clutches that hand from hitting the apron edge. Oba storms up onto the apron, but Eddy fights off Oba’s grip to HOTSHOT him! Eddy GAMANGIRIS, then runs to DROPKICK Oba down! The fans boo Eddy, and then Eddy sees A-Town Down Under up in the perch. Waller cheers Eddy on while NXT goes picture in picture.

Eddy goes after Oba, CLUBS him and RAMS him into the apron! Eddy RAMS Oba back into the apron, pushes him into the ring, then hurries to BOOT him! Eddy KICKS Oba, and KICKS again! Oba wobbles, but he blocks the next kick! Oba swings, but into a BACXKBREAKER! Eddy runs to PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO! Eddy snarls and Oba goes to ropes. Eddy fires forearms, then bumps Oba off buckles. Eddy KICKS and CLUBS Oba again, then CHOPS! And CHOPS! Oba puts Eddy in the corner to CHOP in return! Oba stalks Eddy to a corner, CHOPS him again, then whips corner to corner. Oba runs up, but Eddy dropkicks legs out!

Oba hits a buckle then falls back. Eddy hurries to clamp on with a top wristlock and even adds a half nelson. Oba endures, fights up, and arm-drags free! Oba scoops to SLAM Eddy, then he runs, but Eddy avoids the elbow drop! Eddy hurries to clamp back on with a chinlock. Oba endures, fights up, but Eddy leans on the hold. Eddy grinds Oba down while NXT returns to single picture. The fans rally, Oba fights to his feet, but Eddy shifts to a facelock! Eddy squeezes tight and he brings Oba down again! Oba powers up again, to THROW Eddy away! The fans fire up while Oba catches his breath. Oba then rises, but Eddy storms up!

Oba fires body shots on Eddy! But Eddy avoids the uppercut! Eddy has a SLEEPER, but Oba RAMS him into the corner! Obas CHOPS, stomps, CLUBS, and short arm LARIATS! Then BOOTS! Oba whips, scoops, and SIDEWALK SLAMS Eddy down! The fans fire up for “O~BA!” as he runs, and Oba UPPERCUTS Eddy in a corner! Oba keeps going, and he UPPERCUTS again! Eddy staggers into the SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Eddy survives, the fans rally up, and ATDU get a bit worried for Eddy. Oba choke grips Eddy, but Eddy turns choke slam into TRIANGLE HOLD! Oba fights to stay on his feet but Eddy fires hands!

Oba deadlifts Eddy, but Eddy RANAS through! Cover, TWO! Oba escapes, runs up, and LARIATS Eddy back down! The fans fire up again as Oba drags Eddy to his feet. Oba suplexes, but Eddy hits STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Oba falls back, Eddy hurries to a corner! Eddy climbs, fans boo, but Eddy MACHO ELBOWS! Cover, TWO!! Oba survives and Eddy is beside himself! Eddy rises, and he fires forearms, UPPERCUTS, and elbows! But Oba ROCKS him back! Eddy ROCKS and CHOPS Oba, Oba CHOPS and fires off on Eddy! The fans fire up, Eddy dropkicks legs out! Eddy facelocks, but Oba wrenches free! Eddy BOOTS first!

Eddy waistlocks, but Oba ELBOWS free! Oba runs, Eddy sidesteps, SNAP GERMAN! Eddy hurries to run, TOMAHAWK- NO, Oba grabs Eddy outta the air! Oba then CHOKE SLAMS Eddy!! Cover, TWO?!? Eddy survives and Oba is stunned! Oba huffs ‘n’ puffs and drags Eddy back up. Oba scoops, Eddy slips free and falls to a corner! Oba runs in, but Eddy moves! Oba POSTS himself!! Eddy runs to SHOTGUN Oba! Oba ends up in a corner, and Eddy runs to HELLU- NO! Oba stops that boot to then SHOTPUT Eddy! The fans are thunderous as Oba powers up again! Eddy rises, into the FALL FROM GRACE!! Cover, Oba wins!!

Winner: Oba Femi, by pinfall (still NXT Champion)

Eddy put up the fight of his life, but it just wasn’t enough to conquer this mountain of a man! Oba is still THE Ruler of NXT, and then he spots ATDU. Waller says Oba will be getting that Grayson Waller Effect, but wait, Trick Williams steps into the ring. Oba says if Trick’s back for more, then there is plenty more where that came from. Speaking of more, Eddy storms back up! Trick BOOTS Eddy back down!! Trick and Oba still have a score to settle, will they tear the house down when they do?


My Thoughts:

An awesome NXT, and really jampacked. They’re making the Atlanta episode a big deal, even with Vengeance Day just three weeks away. Good promo from Bianca & Naomi to hype up the tag title match, and great follow-up from Meta Four with the rest of the Women’s Division. I’ve been saying it, and I’ll say it again: Jade Cargill could/should return to reveal Naomi was her attacker, that shocking news will cost Naomi & Bianca, Meta Four wins. It really makes sense for those titles to spend some time in NXT given there are so many great tag teams in NXT, and we could get some great stuff on the Road to WrestleMania.

Speaking of tag teams, we’re getting a lot of great stuff in the Men’s Tag Division as Fraxiom is doing a crossover with TNA. I would think Fraxiom wins against The Rascalz, and I like the stuff we’re getting from Briggs & Inamura with OTM. Andre Chase being extra depressed is really good, very “Bum Ass Corbin” at this point. And Kale Dixon returns to again try and encourage Chase, I really hope we do get an attempt at Chase U 2, or Chase State/Chase Tech, something like that. Chase U could literally be the developmental story within NXT’s developmental structure, as it helped build personalities and stories for a lot of people. Though, that said, where are Riley Osborne, Duke Hudson and Thea Hail? They need to make some great returns during this Road to WrestleMania.

Very good match from Tony VS Ridge for the North American title, and Izzi’s role in this story is intriguing. She makes sure Tony retains the title as Spears and crew try to screw Tony over, but then she keeps Tony’s attention during the tag match? Is Izzi playing double agent? Was her helping Tony against Ridge just a smokescreen so that no one realizes she’s helping Spears? At the same time, Tony’s got a point that if Stacks is second-in-command, he needs to start taking command when Tony isn’t ringside.

Great promo from Bayley to open the show, and clearly we’ve got a tag match set up of her & Giulia VS Cora & Roxie. While Roxie was trying to plant seeds, saying Bayley wants to be NXT Women’s Champion again, I’m pretty sure we get Roxie VS Bayley instead. Very good promo from Vaquer to call out both Shotzi and Fallon before next week’s title match, but as I said last week, we’ll be getting Vaquer VS Fallon at Vengeance Day. And while I appreciate Kelani having her new attitude, and while we got a good match from Karmen VS Jaida, too many of the stories in NXT feel like teen drama type stuff. Though, I guess that’s fitting since CW has a ton of those…

Really good stuff from Lexis and Dempsey in the Heritage Cup, and I liked the tease of the brass knuckles. While Lexis has been talking about being a better man than “Loose Cannon” Brian Pillman and all that, that makes it all the more surprising that he’d resort to a blatant low blow. I don’t know if this actually ends his feud with Dempsey & The NQCC, maybe Myles or Tavion will go after Lexis on Dempsey’s behalf. At the same time, William Regal probably finds King to congratulate him on finally doing things the Heel way. I could totally see King getting a big head again and he rejects Regal, perhaps compelling Regal and Dempsey to work together for revenge.

Good promo from Dion with Wes, and then I laughed so hard when Trick slapped Wes right off his feet! Dion VS Wes was really good, and Wes of course won, but I was surprised it was so fast. Trick getting the best of Wes again was also great, but I’m a bit surprised Trick dissed Dion like that. Dion being mad was a logical move, but I would think Dion isn’t actually leaving. We might get a character change in him like we’re seeing in Kelani, and that could help Dion get to the next level. Also, Wes VS Trick will be an awesome match next week, but I would think Trick wins to have momentum going towards his rematch with Oba.

Oba VS Eddy was great stuff, but of course Oba would win. Oba will have a good promo with A-Town Down Under next week, and he might even end up slamming Theory and/or Waller when they inevitably upset him. Then Oba and Trick will surely have their rematch at Vengeance Day, which is fitting because Trick challenged for the NXT Championship at Vengeance Day just last year. Granted, he lost that match, because it was against Ilja Dragunov and they were building to Trick VS Melo. So Trick is more than likely losing again to build Oba up and possibly send Trick to the main roster for the Road to WrestleMania.

My Score: 8.9/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.6.2025

Can the Nemeths take the titles off of the IWCs favorite tag team Fraxiom?

Published

on

Fandango (JDC) made an appearance on NXT television, Joe Hendry was in the Royal Rumble, and TNA got plenty of name drops between all of the WWE programming. So it’s nice to see this partnership is coming off very healthy early on.

Ratings:

  • Tyson Dupont w/Wes Lee & Tyriek Igwe vs Ace Austin: Ace wins via The Fold – ** 3/4
  • 10 Knockouts Battle Royale: Rosemary vs Jody Threat vs Dani Luna vs Ash by Elegance vs Heather by Elegance vs Tasha Steelz vs Alisha Edwards vs Jazz vs Savannah Evans vs Xia Brookside: Savannah Evans wins the title shot – ** 1/2
  • The Hardy Boyz & Leon Slater vs The System: Jeff wins via Swanton Bomb – ***
  • Matt Cardona vs Mike Santana: Santana wins via Spin the Block – ** 1/2
  • NXT Tag Team Championships: Kaiba Boys (Nic & Ryan Nemeth) vs Fraxiom (c) : Fraxiom retains via Ryan is an Idiot – *** 1/2

 

Results:

Joe Hendry comes out to kick off the show with his concert, and he opens with a “We Are The Champions” parody of “Hendry Is The Champion”. Next song is “Joe Hendry Won the Belt” which is pretty solid and a little arrogant, but so is his entire shtick, then he calls the trope and starts up a song with “This Is The Part Where Somebody Cuts Me Off” and that Somebody…is SOMETHING, Jake SOMETHING. Jake says he talked to Santino for a title shot next week…okay. 

There’s a backstage interview with Masha, and yeah…she sounds very lame when speaking English. The aura is gone, she’s still a great wrestler but hot damn are her promos like Chinese Water Torture.

Tyson Dupont w/Wes Lee & Tyriek Igwe vs Ace Austin

Collar and Elbow ties ups start things off slow until Tyson takes a cheap shot during a break and then runs Ace over off the ropes. Ace tries the Hip Toss but fails, Tyson counters with one of his own, Ace lands on his feet, rolls backwards, chops at the legs with some Sweep Kicks and then gets a quick 2 with a La Magistral. Ace keeps the strikes and Cradles flowing until Tyson sandbags him during an ill advised Suplex attempt, Ace tries something off the ropes to regain momentum but eats a Pop-Up Powerslam for two! Tyson with back to back Stinger Splashes, Whips Ace chest first into the corner, Ace bounces out and turns around to eats a Corkscrew European Uppercut for another near fall.

Tyson tries to take the fight out of Ace with the Full Nelson, but Ace is energized by the crowd. Ace uses the corner and his knees to break the Full Nelson, almost eats another Pop-Up but Full Extension Dropkick gives Ace new life. Rockstar Kick Combo, Russian Leg Sweep, Click Click Boom for two and Ace keeps chopping at the bigger man with Round Kicks to the lower body. Tyson goes for the Warrior Splash and MISSES! Ace turns that into a Fold off the ropes and wins!

Post match beating and The Rascalz show up for the save.

10 Knockouts Battle Royale: Rosemary vs Jody Threat vs Dani Luna vs Ash by Elegance vs Heather by Elegance vs Tasha Steelz vs Alisha Edwards vs Jazz vs Savannah Evans vs Xia Brookside

Lish decides to mouth off to Jazz immediately and eats The Clamp right off the bat and then hell breaks loose. Cora Jade is on commentary and she’s solid. Lish eliminates Tasha thinking she’s clever and then gets double teamed by Spitfire, so she gets dumped out after her betrayal. Elegance Clique was under the ring but Ash kept her nails visible so Dani pulls her out from under, and Heather was holding on, while Jody gets pulled from the other side. So Dani gets a goofy power spot, Heather gets eliminated, then Dani gets eliminated, Rosemary Spears Jody and eliminates her.

ASH tries to get her, Rosemary and Savannah to attack Jazz and Xia, but Ash doesn’t really attack and Xia and Jazz take control. Ash and Rosemary eliminate Jazz. Xia gets excited and eliminates Rosemary and Ash, Savannah tries to take advantage of the situation but the crowd is all for Xia. Xia manages to get Savannah over the rope to the apron, but Cora gets up off of commentary to distract Xia, Savannah tries a Chokebomb on the apron, Xia fights it off with biting the hand and then eats a headbutt from Savannah to eliminate Xia. So Savannah gets a title shot while Cora Jade mocks Xia for losing.

Eric comes out with the two jabronis and they look even lamer coming out in white hoodies. They look like AEW fans, not professional wrestlers. I love EY leading a group, be it World Elite, SAnitY, Violence by Design or whatever this will be known as…but these dudes are garbage. Steve Maclin interrupts the EY rant, so it should be interesting where Steve lands on this. Maclin asks a great question, why didn’t EY just tell him this was the plan when he knows he earned his trust. Maclin says “As long as they’re with you…I’m not”. So Maclin doesn’t declare himself an enemy, but he just says they’re not cool anymore. Oh and Josh’s music hits. I guess he hasn’t left yet.

Josh is a make-a-wish kid apparently, bald Canadian off, this is like Reptile vs Sub Zero, next week we get EY vs Josh as Josh’s Swan Song. Could be a solid match, so I’m not mad about it…I just hate the jabroni duo. 

The Hardy Boyz & Leon Slater vs The System

Leon and JDC start, things get a little weird but JDC tags out to Eddie, Leon has Arm Drags for all and tags in Matt for a little tandem Extreme Elbow into the hyperextended arm action, Matt tags in Jeff for more tandem Arm attacks on Eddie. More Hardy party, Eddie is eating boots like he’s Tony Atlas. Poetry in Motion the classic way, JDC finally gets sick of watching Eddie get dogwalked, but System is getting stacked up and English Poetry in Motion on JDC and Eddie, Moose got knocked off the apron and a commercial break.

Oh look, Moose had Leon in the corner but Leon was fighting out of it. The other System members try to do something but Leon is fighting them all off, looks to fly, but Lish jumps on the apron to block the dive. Leon jumps over Lish and Moose just catches him with an Apron Bomb. Leon beats the 10 count and Moose just jumps on him and tags in Eddie. Kobashi Chops from Eddie, blind tag from JDC, Rocket Launcher into the Forearm for the Slingshot Elbow and JDC tags in Moose to maintain the pressure.

Eddie tags in and wipes out the Hardys, Blue Thunder Bomb, Senton and Down and Dirty from The System, but the Hardys barely make the save to stop the pinfall. Leon counters JDC’s Brainbuster with a Small Package, Leg Lariat from Leon, simultaneous tag and it’s Jeff and Moose. Jawbreaker for Moose, Mule Kick for Eddie, Manhattan Drop on Moose, Jeff is rolling with the classics. He calls for the Twist, JDC and Eddie break it up so it turns into a schmoz as Leon just Slingshots himself into the System. Feint Kick rocks Moose, Hardys take out the others, Leon wanted to go for his Corner Jump but Moose cuts him off with a Pump Kick. Leon dodges the Lights Out as Moose Posts himself, Leon takes out the other members. Plot Twist from the Hardyz, Jeff lets Leon hit the Swanton 450 first, then Swanton Bomb gives Jeff another pinfall victory over Moose.

This better be leading towards a Jeff X Division Championship shot, because that’s two visible pinfalls now.

Matt Cardona vs Mike Santana

After the typical chicken shit powder into rope retreat, Santana hits a few Chops and starts movin, Cardona tries to powder again but Santana hits the dive to lay out Cardona. He throws Cardona back in the ring, Cardona powders again and trips up Santana on the apron to finally take advantage of things. There is a “We Want Chelsea” chant going as Cardona takes the advantage. Cardona is making more faces at the camera and crowd then connecting with moves that really matter. A few Irish Whips, a Rude Awakening, just very slow and boring since there’s no real tension in this match. Santana counters for a Cradle, Mule Kick after Cardona is back up, a little rope run into the Rolling Buck Fifty, but only for two.

Santana wants to Spin the Block and misses, Enzuigiri from Santana, Cardona tries to catch Santana off the ropes with Radio Silence but Santana turns it into a Spicolli Driver for two! A slow climb up the corner allows Cardona to crotch Santana into the seated position, ReBoot time, Tiger Driver for two. Radio Silence attempt, Santana catches him, Buckle Bomb, Guerrero Frog Splash, SPIN – THE – BLOCK!  Santana wins.

NXT Tag Team Championships: Kaiba Boys (Nic & Ryan Nemeth) vs Fraxiom (c)

Little grounded Greco-Roman wrestling between Nic and Axiom, Frazer blind tag does take Nic by surprise as Frazer runs circles around Nic for a while before a Dropkick connects from Nic and tags in Ryan. Stereo Shot to Heart spot from the Nemeths. Ryan’s offense is purposely kinda corny, and it’s funny when Frazer finally bests him you just very audibly hear the “Oh Shit” and Fraxiom do a little tandem action rush, Locomotion Dives from Fraxiom, Nic counters Frazer, catches Axiom’s foot and then makes Axiom kick Frazer. Arianna is on commentary and its hilariously ditzy. She says something like “That’s really awkward, he kicked his friend…”, it’s so…adorable in a vapid way.

Back from commercial, Ryan is trying to fight back against Axiom, but a blind tag from Frazer, a Poison Rana into Double Superkicks and a Running Shooting Star is a very close two. Ryan slips a Suplex from Frazer for a Cradle, only two but it gives Ryan space to tag out and Frazer tags out so Nic is riding the hot tag, Stinger Splash into his 10 Shots to the Heart Elbow drops, but Axiom kicks out. Axiom goes for a desperation something and Nic connects with a FAMEasser for two! Enzuigiri from Ryan actually connects, Nic tries a quick pinfall but nope only 2. Ryan tags in and cuts off Axiom while pushing him back into the Kaiba corner.

Nic is trying to keep Axiom grounded, and tags back in Ryan, and its just classic isolation offense. Nothing flashy, oh, Ryan posts himself Nic blind tags but Axiom tags out. Rope Run Lariats, Slingblade, Frog Splash from Frazer but only two! Phoenix Splash attempt misses, Implant DDT from Nic for…two and a half. Nic tries to lift up Frazer, but the twisting Enzuigiri drops Nic and Frazer tags in Axiom. Axiom comes in deliberately, a few strikes, but Nic counters, Superkick on Axiom, Frazer slips and Nic Superkicks Frazer, Danger Zone and Hollywood Ending in stereo! 1-2-KICK OUT!  Ryan tries to whip Nic at Axiom, but Axiom moves, Axiom dodges Ryan but then gets grabbed into an Implant DDT from Nic, Ryan tries something but Axiom and Frazer are rolling, Superplex, Golden Ratio, and Nic makes the save! Ryan is looking for something under the ring, Nic admonishes Mokuba for trying to use a chair, Axiom Dropkicks Ryan into Nic, Nic falls out, Ryan eats the finish and Fraxiom retain!

 

Overall Score: 6.5/10

Well…I can’t be too angry at all of this. Yes the Battle Royale was dumb and really just put a spotlight on how pathetic the Knockouts Division is right now, but Tessa’s promo was solid, Mance and Steph was a good promo, Hardyz was a good match, main event was a good match…and nothing was really offensive. Yes I hate the Jabroni Squad with EY now, but they didn’t talk, much like usual, they barely exist. Ace and Tyson had a decent opening match and I am a little interested in what Mustafa is building.

Also we get another Jeff Hardy pins Moose moment, so if this doesn’t turn into Jeff getting the X Division title shot then I’m gonna be Brooklyn confused. I have also finally figured out what Arianna Grace’s whole gimmick is, its just Ariana Grande’s character from Victorious and Sam & Cat. Since I didn’t really watch it closely (not really my generation, but AJ did have random Nickelodeon crap on growing up) it didn’t click until we’ve been hearing her talk more during the TNA commentary, and she does the same air headed, vapid yet adorable way of speaking and comes across with a measure of innocence.

But yeah, an okay show if you ignore the Knockouts. At least the NXT partnership will bolster the weakest part of TNA since NXT does truly have the most stacked women’s division at the moment.

Backstage “interview” with Athena.

Since Lexy Nair was expelled from MIT, Billie Starkz must now stand in as the interviewer. She says The Fallen Goddess has called an Emergency MEM, and Athena finishes the line, “A Minion Empowerment Meeting.” Athena tells Billie to get it together! It is her job now! But hi, minions~! Forget this one, it is all about her! The Athena World Tour is over, but the Athena World Domination has just begun. Tonight will be no different than any other night of her dominating. Isn’t that right, Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths? Yeah! Tag match! They’ll do great! Uh, no, there is no “we” in this. In fact, Athena got that tag match cancelled.

Athena reminds Billie that Lexy being fired was pivotal in Billie’s development and she meant it. So tonight, Billie will sit there, watch Athena some broad in the face, and learn a lesson! Who is Athena? Tell ’em who she is, Billie! Uh, Athena is the Minion Overlord, American Joshi, the… There’s a whole list. Athena tells Billie to just sit there, shut up, and enjoy Athena’s show. Billie sighs and says, “Got it, boss.” As if Athena wasn’t awful to her before, will Billie ever get the respect she deserves?

 

ROH Women’s World Championship Proving Ground Match: Athena w/ Billie Starkz VS Carolina Cruz!

The Fallen Goddess is 61-0, and that includes never even letting one Proving Ground match reach the ten minute time limit! Will 2025 look no different than 2024, or even 2023? Or can Carolina get ROH under Cruz Control?

The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and Athena SHOTGUNS Cruz into a corner! Athena then runs up to back body block, then she goes side to side to forearm SMASH! The fans fire up as Athena whips Cruz to ropes, fireman’s carries, and WASTELAND SLAMS! The fans cheer and Athena tells Billie to pay attention. Athena puts Cruz on the ropes, CHOKES her with a cravat, but stops at 4. Billie says she doesn’t think Cruz can breath, and Athena frowns.

Athena is more annoyed than anything, but then Cruz rolls her up! TWO, and Athena runs up to S T O! Athena rains down fists, HAMMERS away, but the ref counts.

Winner: Athena, by pinfall (denies Carolina Cruz a title opportunity)

The Fallen Goddess’ devastating right hand takes out another one, and then she expects Billie to add on! Billie says she was told to stay seated so she’s staying seated. Athena sets the belt down and drags Cruz over. Athena tells Billie to just shut up and watch. Athena lines up the shot, but Cruz fights back with body shots! Athena staggers away, Billie hurries off, and Athena SUPERKICKS Cruz! Billie tells Athena she’s done enough, but Athena SWINGS Cruz into the railing, and then does it again, and again, and again! Athena keeps going as she dribbles Cruz’s face off the side! Billie pulls Athena off Cruz but Athena shouts that Billie doesn’t tell her what to do!

Athena tells Billie to just sit down and watch! Billie takes her seat again, but now the ref tells Athena to stop. Athena seethes, but she decides to leave it at this. Athena tells Billie to follow her out, and the two leave. Will Billie ever get out from under Athena’s thumb? Will nothing end Athena’s reign of terror?

 

Sammy Guevara VS Mansoor w/ Mason Madden!

The Spanish God dealt with Aaron Solo last week, but the line of could-be contenders is long. Up next is the Sultan of Suave on behalf of MXM Collection. Will Mansoor be able to bring down this Son of Texas? Or will Sammy check another name off the list?

For the Code of Honor, Mansoor wants to touch fingertips with Sammy, so Sammy goes to accept. But then Mansoor flips him off! Was he watching Blake earlier? The bell rings, Sammy and Mansoor circle, and they tie up. They go around, Mansoor headlocks, but Sammy powers up and out, only for Mansoor to pull Sammy’s hair! Mansoor hits a headlock takeover, then he grinds Sammy down. Mason tries to start a chant of “Let’s Go, Mansoor! You’re the prettiest!” but for one, that’s a sloppy fit for the rhythm.

Sammy puts Mansoor in, but Mansoor distracts the ref so Mason can anchor Sammy! Sammy kicks free but Mansoor anchors Sammy now! Mason poses while Mansoor trips Sammy up. Mansoor ties Sammy’s legs up in the ropes, for a FIGURE FOUR! The ref counts, Mansoor holds until 4, and Mason talks trash on Sammy. The fans boo but Mansoor drags Sammy from the ropes. Mansoor stomps the legs, then he YANKS one! Sammy writhes, Mansoor says that’s an excellent maneuver! Mansoor has Sammy’s leg for a KNEE JAMMER! Sammy writhes, Mansoor mocks his pain, and even hobbles before he POSES!

The fans boo but Mansoor drags Sammy up, only for Sammy to cradle! TWO, and Mansoor kicks the leg! Mansoor hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!

The ref counts, Mansoor stops at 4, and Mason chants, “Sammy Sucks! Sammy Sucks!” Fans instead chant “Mansoor Sucks! Mansoor Sucks!” But Mansoor then points out how he has Sammy’s legs open, a la The Natural! The ref says Mansoor can’t do this! Mansoor takes a deep breath, then runs up, but into a DROPKICK!

The fans fire up as Sammy JABS! JABS! JABS! Flip, flop, and fly, BIONIC ELBOW! The fans fire up and Sammy blocks a kick to DRAGON SCREW! Mansoor hobbles for real now, and Sammy KICKS out the leg!

ONE, but Mansoor has the leg!

Sammy cradles, rolls through, and he steps through! FIGURE FOUR! Mansoor flails, Mansoor TAPS, Sammy wins!

Winner: Sammy Guevara, by submission

Mansoor tried to mock Dustin Rhodes, but Sammy showed MXM what he learned from The Natural! However, Mason is back! Sammy spots him so he backs up, only for Mansoor to CHOP BLOCK Sammy’s leg! The fans boo but MXM stomp away! Mansoor drags Sammy up, time to kill him fashionably! CENTERFOLD!! Mansoor covers, Mason counts it, and “three!” MXM declare themselves the ROH World Tag Team Champions, but will Dustin make sure he and Sammy humble them?

Fatal 4 Way Tag: The Outrunners VS The Dark Order VS Grizzled Young Veterans VS The Premier Athletes!

While MXM Collection beat down Sammy, the chase for the ROH Tag Team Championships never ends. Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd, Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds, Zack Gibson & James Drake, or Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari, which duo will- Sigh, of course Mark Sterling has to cut off Bobby Cruise… “Everybody knows that we are The Premier Athletes, and this is Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari. Now folks, we’ve decided to let the people of Jacksonville take part in our pregame cheer. However, based on our history, I must inform you that if you get it incorrect, I will be suing every single one of you!

“So, when I say, ‘Athletes,’ you say, ‘Rule,’ nothing else! Hands in, boys. Ohhh… Athletes!” “SUCK!!” There’s no way Sterling has enough paper and ink to print out that many lawsuits. But will Nese & Daivari find a way to defy the odds? Or will another team be poised for a title opportunity?

Winners: The Outrunners, by pinfall

The Youngest Men Alive keep their ROH win streak alive! They took down three top tier teams, but will they be THE team to win some tag team gold?


My Thoughts:

A really good episode of ROH here, clearly part of the AEW Homecoming visit, and was only an hour and 11 minutes. I’m rather surprised there was no ROH Rewind, but that’s either because they couldn’t find a match that best relates to what’s going on right now, or they don’t feel they need it to fill time anymore. Athena was back, and she of course talks down to Billie. I almost thought Billie was going to stand up to her again, and this story can’t go another year. I feel like they kept the ROH Women’s World Championship on Athena given she was going to Japan and would look stronger as champion at WrestleDynasty and the Stardom events, but she really should drop it to Billie at Supercard.

Good match from Blake VS Priest, and I like that the spirit of Blue Pants lives on. Like, Priest gets an introduction, so the fans either don’t listen or they just like that he wore blue pants. Good win for Blake, though, and Vanilla Choke Zero is both a hilarious and clever name, and also a great hold. Good stuff with this growing “fraternity faction” story, Jameson showing up and then helping out, not costing them, is some rather surprising stuff. They didn’t beat Jameson up so maybe Griff, Vance & Karter let him stay as their manager. Still a shame that the Iron Savages are no more, but TK wasn’t exactly building them, so what else was going to happen?

Lee got his win thanks to EJ, but not before Jon Davis had a good showing. Very good match from Sammy VS Mansoor, and while Sammy got a win, I feel like MXM will still get a title shot from what they did to Sammy. Very good Women’s TV title match, especially with a rare Heel VS Heel situation. But naturally Velvet got the win, she’s building momentum while waiting on Leyla. And the Fatal 4 Way was a lot of fun. With Outrunners being very popular, it made sense they’d win here, but I was honestly expecting GYV given they’re Heels and we’re still dealing with Face tag champs. Still good stuff for Turbo & Truth, they might just be in a holding pattern while the ROH and AEW tag title stories are all spoken for.

My Score: 8.6/10
