It’s the Vengeance Day Countdown Show!
Join Megan Morant and Sam Roberts in discussing, analyzing and predicting all the action set in the Nation’s Capital!
Nathan Frazer and Axiom talk backstage.
It’s been a hell of a ride. Two years ago, they were literally facing each other, no aspirations for tag titles. But then the Dusty Cup came up, and the rest is history. But how do they fare against the main roster? Motor City Machine Guns, Street Profits, DIY. But the more they run, the farther and higher Frazer can see this going. Axiom says they could become some of the best! Edge & Christian, The Usos, The Hardy Boys! But they can’t overlook Briggs & Inamura. Big, strong, world class athletes. But Fraxiom is at their best when they’re backed against the wall. They always overcome. Stand & Deliver 2024 to here and now, completely different animals.
If they keep going like this, they will be undeniably the best tag team in the world! And who knows? Maybe they could be the greatest team of all time! Fraxiom fist bump, could this be the moment they solidify their legacies forever? Or does the team that never slows down finally hit a brick wall?
Exclusive interview with Je’Von Evans.
Vic Joseph appreciates Je’Von taking this time, but he asks how Je’Von is. Je’Von says he’s finally been able to eat solid foods, so he’ll be ready for the match. Then what has it taken to get to this spot? Je’Von says it all kinda takes you to a place where you learn your limits. Throughout this break, Je’Von found his. And Ethan finds out how far he’ll go. Vic sees there’s still some swelling, and Ethan is a man who has gone so far as to break bones. Is Je’Von scared to get back in the ring? Je’Von says he’d be lying if he acted like he wasn’t. Two months, Je’Von has been worried about being able to eat, smell, let alone wrestle,
Je’Von went through some dark spots, but then he saw how Ethan was enjoying what he was doing to other people. That motivated Je’Von to come back. Then how confident is he in his trademark smile coming back. Je’Von isn’t sure he can smile. He took that for granted, he isn’t sure where he is with that. But he’ll go through Hell on Vengeance Day if he has to. Then Vic brings up the liability waiver. WWE will not be responsible for what happens to Je’Von in this match. Has Je’Von honestly asked himself, “Is this worth risking it all?” Je’Von has been thinking about that a lot. Ethan said he took Je’Von’s smile to get his back.
And at Vengeance Day, Je’Von says yes, it is worth taking this risk. He is going up against someone no one likes, who put Je’Von on the shelf, who will do anything to get what he wants. Je’Von’s jaw was busted, and he’s expected to stay back as the new kid? No! Ethan will see a side of Je’Von no one has seen before. Je’Von isn’t here to smile, he’s here to whoop Ethan’s ass. Vic wishes Je’Von luck and hopes he’ll be safe. Will the pain and the fear not be enough to keep the Young OG down?
Stephanie Vaquer speaks.
“I have survived things that should have broke me. Things that forced me to live in Hell for a long time. But that Hell became my home. Now, I am one with the fire. And I burn through everything in my path. Fallon, you crossed the wrong one. I will become NXT Women’s North American Champion and make history. In Hell, I will show you why I am La Primera.” This GOAT in the making has put the Cowgirl on notice, will Vaquer have her vengeance?
Backstage interview with A-Town Down Under.
Sarah Schreiber thanks Grayson Waller & Austin Theory for taking this time. They have some history in NXT, and then found success on SmackDown and Raw. What’re the highlights of their NXT careers? Waller says NXT was very important. He was a no name indie wrestler from Australia. He wasn’t “the guy” but he made a name, went viral, had main roster talent begging to face him, and then Waller wins the inaugural Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge. Oh, also, he beat Johnny Gargano! Best night of his life! Theory remembers he was in The Way with Gargano. Yeah, but that was in the past, long gone.
Theory says sure, but when he was in NXT, he was in there with a lot of sharks. He did his best to swim, but went to main roster quickly to become United States Champion. Waller sarcastically adds that Theory beat Cena, in case no one’s said that before. Sarah says they also had success as a team, winning the WWE Tag Team Championships at last year’s WrestleMania. But then, why would they come back to challenge for THE NXT Championship? Theory says “Oba Rated” needed a star presence. He needs two superstars to show him that way. The Grayson Waller Rub, if you would. Ava Raine asked ATDU to be here, and Oba has no idea what’s waiting on the main roster.
There are sharks up there, they smell blood in the water. ATDU came down here to see what Oba’s about, and now he’s gonna lose that title cuz he’s too arrogant. A shame. Yes, they did both drop Oba together, A-Town Down to the Down Under Stunner. But then they both grabbed the belt. Waller sees what this is. They’re all so desperate to break this up! Why? Because they’re the best team? Cuz they’re so entertaining? Cuz no one can touch them in the ring or on the mic? They ain’t playing that game. There WILL be a new champion, no matter what. But it isn’t a Handicap Match, it’s a Triple Threat. If it was up to them, who’d walk out of there as champion?
Waller and Theory each say “Me,” but then they say “Us.” Waller wishes they had Vic, he’s much better at this. But all that attitude aside, will either Waller or Theory win that title? Or are they the ones too arrogant about their chances?
There’s no love lost here tonight.
Unforgettable matches, historic debuts, Vengeance Day has become the showcase of WWE’s future. It is a proving ground for NXT’s best, and a stage upon which vengeance leads to superstardom. The champions have earned their place at the top, but as familiar faces return and fresh challengers emerge, the balance of power may shift once again. Tonight, live from Washington, DC, we write the next chapter! For this is Vengeance Day!

Backstage interview with Ava Raine.
Sarah is now with the NXT General Manager and brings up the shocking attacks we’ve seen perpetrated tonight. What is her reaction? Ava is at a loss for words. Dion’s group are certainly trying to make an impact, but she will address them accordingly this Tuesday. Sarah also brings up NXT going to Cincinnati for February 25th, and Ava says there are a lot of people wanting to be part of that show. Lexis King has texted her 23 times. Did you know that it was his hometown? But yeah, he made sure she knew. And beyond NXT in Cincy, there will also be the final NXT special edition episode before Stand & Deliver, as Roadblock returns.
Ava says that will be live from The Theater in Madison Square Garden, a massive night! Wait, Arianna Grace returns? She is so happy to see Ava, hugs it out, and says she’s been gone for so long. She wants to thank Ava for letting her be the NXT liaison to TNA. And trust her when she says, it has been amazing. Ava is so glad- Wait, Arianna says there is someone Ava has to meet. Tada! It’s Arianna’s father, Santino Marella! WWE superstar turned TNA Director of Authority, Santino is back and is honored to meet Ava. But wait, they met before when she was little. She’s all grown up, and in a position of authority. Just like Santino!
Ava says yes, very nice to see them. But Arianna mentioned Santino had ideas, as does Ava, so let’s discuss this. Santino says indeed! The bosses head off, what could be brewing for NXTNA in the near future?

Winner: Giulia, by pinfall (still NXT Women’s Champion)
A fast ‘n’ furious finish in this Fatal 4 Way, but the title stays with Giulia! The Beautiful Madness reigns, but here comes Vaquer! La Primera also reigns, and she did tell her amiga that this night would only be the beginning. They fist bump and hold up their gold together! WAIT! The sirens are going, and that’s because JORDYNNE GRACE is here! The Juggernaut returns to NXT, and she steps to the ring to look at both champions. The fans are losing their minds as the best women’s division in the world has only gotten greater! What more is in store for this next chapter of NXT?
My Thoughts:
An awesome night for NXT, even with this event now “WWE Vengeance Day.” I am sure I said this before, but it feels like the branding changing from “NXT [event]” to “WWE [event]” is a roundabout way for them to think of NXT as the third brand on par with Raw and SmackDown. After all, WWE Evolve is coming, acting as the developmental show feeding NXT, so NXT can focus on story and bringing in free agents from other companies, more akin to the latter days of “Black ‘n’ Gold” NXT. For example, Ricky Starks, even though even he isn’t giving his name yet. I personally hope he stays “Ricky Starks” but we’ll know on Tuesday.
Another example is Jordynne Grace showing up as a big surprise to end the night. The night being bookended by the women’s division and punctuated by Grace returning was a great move, and I dare say the right move. Vaquer VS Fallon was very good, and while we of course had Kelani, Karmen and Jaida watching, and while we of course got Fatal Influence getting involved, Vaquer winning was again the right move. And then just an incredible Fatal 4 Way for the main event, with the result as I figured. Bayley and Roxie still have beef to settle, and there’s even Roxie VS Cora to be done, one of those combinations being a Stand & Deliver match.
That is to say, Roadblock will be big for NXT, with perhaps a card akin to this one. Next Tuesday is Karmen VS Kelani VS Jaida, winner challenging Vaquer, and that can be done at Roadblock. Giulia VS Grace can also be done at Roadblock, because there is just something telling me Giulia VS Vaquer, Winner Takes All, is in NXT’s back pocket. The only time we got a Champion VS Champion like that was Adam Cole VS Keith Lee, so now it’s about time for the women to have their own showdown. And honestly, either choice between Vaquer and Giulia is a great choice for NXT’s first Women’s Double Champion.
Great grudge matches tonight, and maybe only a little surprising that the Heels won both. In terms of Ethan VS Je’Von, Je’Von got to bring out his aggression and looked great, even though he ends up losing. Maybe this is how we get to an Unsanctioned Match for Je’Von, because if his jaw is kayfabe busted up again, he can’t get a real match with Ethan. Then with Eddy VS Trick, it was only a little surprising that Eddy won. Trick is more or less headed to main roster, and Eddy needed this because he’s been slapped around and made a fool of. They could probably still bring this story to Stand & Deliver, unless they want to plug Trick right into a midcard title story for WrestleMania.
Great stuff seeing Arianna Grace back and her bringing Santino Marella with her. I really hope this means NXTNA gives us a proper crossover event, like Worlds Collide or something similar. There are many possibilities with this new working relationship, the fans will definitely eat it up. What fans might not eat up is Dion Lennox leading a would-be Shield sequel. It was intriguing for them to hype a Vengeance Day debut, but it’s a touch confusing for them to attack twice in one night. The tag title match was awesome, and after Fraxiom were talking themselves up in the countdown show, I thought that was foreshadowing a loss. Fraxiom finds another way to win, and then they and Briggs & Inamura get attacked, naturally implying a tag title story.
But then because there’s four guys in this faction, it also made sense they’d go after THE NXT Champion. That Triple Threat was also awesome stuff, but of course Oba won out. Dion and his guys (I’ve found confirmation on Saquon Shugars and Osiris Griffin but not on the fourth man) got to make an impact, sure, but this doesn’t even work as well as Shield or Nexus did because at least there was somewhere WWE fans knew all the members for, aka they were all from NXT. Dion is the only guy who was on NXT TV before this, the others are just now making their NXT debut, so naturally DC had to ask, “Who Are You?” Yes, Tuesday will give us those answers, but I would’ve thought WWE had learned how to take a step back and see how this could flop, because it kinda did.
My Score: 9.2/10

Jon Moxley speaks.
The Maniac AEW World Champion says, “When Katsuyori Shibata woke up on Wednesday morning, his fate was already sealed. He may as well have already been in the hospital. There’s nothing you can do about it, Joe, so I don’t want you to feel bad that all of the people closest to you are dropping like flies. And I struggle to find reasons to dislike Samoa Joe, I really do. The guy defined professional wrestling for a whole generation of us guys. He deserves the respect he commands. Samoa Joe is beyond reproach. But so was Bryan Danielson. Something to think about.
“Steel Cage for the world championship in Chicago. There’s this notion, this idea, that I should be scared to step into a steel cage with Samoa Joe. When you’re the world champion, every opponent is dangerous, every match is hard, every day is hard. I’m gonna do what I always do: my job. And I am exceptional at my job. You wanna lock me inside a steel cage? Lock it. Lock the door, man. This is always how this was gonna end. My affairs are in order. But if you subscribe to this notion that I should be scared, well then you haven’t been paying attention, Joe. You better make sure you thought things through.”
The Maniac has issued a warning, but will Joe even acknowledge it? Or will Joe make Moxley realize what fear really is?

Rush has the fans behind him right now as he and Knight speed up.
Knight drops down, then hurdles over, but Rush leaps! They keep moving, Knight scoops and SLAMS! Then UFO- NO, Rush moves! Rush arm-drags Knight, Knight arm-drags Rush, and then dropkicks cancel out!

Samoa Joe speaks.
“Hello, Jon. I hope you’ll forgive me, I’m not there at Collision this week, but it’s only because I’m paying you respect by being here in my gym, preparing for what I’ll do to you in a few short weeks. What that is, Jon, is helping you understand. I’m gonna help you understand what happens when you call a man like me out. And you’re going to understand that what you have done to Hook and Shibata is going to be visited upon your man, Claudio, next week. And that all starts with me understanding a little bit about you, Jon. See, I understand that you have the ruthless streak that is required to take on someone like me.
“I understand that you have the ability and the will to come after someone like me. But you see, Jon, I had to put this match in a cage. Cuz there’s something else that I understand about you. The Jon Moxley I look at today doesn’t have the heart to stand in front of me. The Jon Moxley I see today doesn’t have the balls to get into a ring and get into an actual firefight with a man like me. And Jon, come Chicago, at Beach Break, I will break you. And when you turn around to run, with nowhere to go, I am Samoa Joe. I will be the next AEW World Champion. And Jon Moxley, I will make you understand.”

She understands they have a response to that. Truth says yeah, he’s got something to say! Trent, Rocky, Truth gets you’re upset! He gets you feel disrespected. But maybe the Outrunners get a little loud sometimes. So what? Maybe they flex a little too much. So what? Maybe they spin a little too fast. So what?! Turbo says if Rocky & Trent wanna get physical, let’s get physical! They’ll settle this where it counts! When you’re face to face with The Outrunners, some are scared to death! But some are scared to live!
Truth & Turbo shake it out, will the Youngest Men Alive show Azucar & #JustTrent what respect is really about?

CRU speaks.
Lio Rush says, “It was inevitable that the story ended with the way that it did.” Action Andretti adds, “With Top Flight landing flat on their faces.” They’re not in AEW to waste time. And any more time spent on Darius & Dante is a waste of time. They tried to walk away, drift off into the sunset, but “you two children couldn’t handle being without us.” Top Flight couldn’t stand being in the rearview mirror. CRU hopes Top Flight will learn a lesson. And that lesson is you should #FearCRU. Either you’re CRU, or you’re enemy.

Platinum Max is in the ring again, and he tells Atlantic City, “You are lookin’ live at the Best Wrestler Alive!” The fans boo that clearly false statement, but Caster says, “You people just witnessed a 15 minute time limit draw. And that got me thinking. No one in AEW could survive FIVE minutes in the ring with Platinum Max!” The fans boo but Caster says let’s put five minutes on the clock! The tech guys oblige, and Caster says before his next “victim” comes out here, he wants the people here in AC to prove that they’re not just a bunch of drunk, degenerate tourists! He wants them to do the chant correctly!
“Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive! Let’s Go, Max! You’re The Best Wrestler Alive!” Caster is already laughing at how “bad” the fans are doing. That was not full participation, please do better. But let’s get to business! Who can survive FIVE with the Best Wrestler Alive? It’s DANIEL GARCIA!

Doesn’t that sound great? But then in steps Blake Christian & Lee Johnson. Vanilla Babyface tells Bowens all he is hearing right now is blah blah blah. Let’s be real: Bowens may have won against Blake three weeks ago, but those people weren’t talking about Bowens beating Blake.
The talk was about Bowens being outshined by Blake! Big Shotty says Bowens needs to listen because he means this with all the disrespect in the world. Johnson believes he is 150% better! After watching Blake soften Bowens up, Johnson knows how to put Bowens down. Bowens says wow, outshined him? That’s not possible. And 150% better? Well, then step up to the plate and get MOLLY WHOPPED by the 5 Tool Player! Any time, anywhere. Blake & Lee leave, when and where will Big Shotty take his shot?
The Gates of Agony VS Ray Chas & Goldie!
The Hurt Syndicate claimed we’d see Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona way down the line after they lost in the AEW World Tag Team Championship match. But the Cameroonian Prince says there are things much worse than death. They took a bite of the baddest apple on the tree, and the Samoan Lion says it made them SICK!

Cover, Gates win!
Winners: The Gates of Agony, by pinfall
The CRU is watching ringside, acting unimpressed. But will Kaun & Liona make sure Lio & Action are next after Bill & Keith? But speaking of, Bill calls them out from the tron! Last week, Bill & Keith called them out. They’re in the parking lot. They don’t come to you, you come to them! Kaun & Liona say bet! The Gates leave the ring, go to the back, and find their way to the parking lot! Will we get quite the battle of titans in Atlantic City?

Kaun is up and he ROCKS Bill! Liona spins around to swing Keith off him and into a truck!
Bill and Kaun brawl, Liona runs up, but Keith avoids the trash can attack! This brawl is gonna keep going, but the show must go on, too! Will security be able to stop this carnage before it goes too far?

Dax stays in this for FTR but Cole says that’s fine, Roddy & Kyle are in control. Kyle tags in and DUMPS Dax out. Roddy keeps after Dax, Kyle is after Cash, but Cash turns things around. Roddy CHOPS away on Dax, BOOTS Cash, then he brings Cash around to have him take a seat. The chair broke but Roddy just CHOPS Cash again and again. Kyle runs from the apron to MISSILE DROPKICK FTR into the barriers! The fans fire up as Roddy helps Kyle stand. Paragon stands FTR up to keep after them. Roddy throws Dax into the crowd! Roddy goes out to CHOP away on Dax! Cash FLAPJACKS Kyle off barriers!
The fans fire up as Roddy and Dax fight up into the crowd! CHOP after CHOP and Roddy keeps Dax staggering! Then Roddy just fires haymakers! The fans are loving this but the ref wants someone to get int he ring! Dax returns to ringside but Roddy CLUBS him! Meanwhile, Cash suplexes Kyle! Kyle fights that off to suplex back, but Cash RAMS Kyle into barriers! Roddy has Dax, but Cash tags in before the BACKBREAKER!

Winners: FTR, by pinfall, 2-1 score
Stokely cheers as he makes all the difference! Will the Top Guys continue to win by any means necessary until they’re back on top of AEW? WAIT! Daniel Garcia storms his way out here! He has a mic and a crowbar, but which one is he gonna use?! Stoke has Garcia hold on, the ref tells Garcia to stand down, but Garcia says what he really wanted to do is come down and beat all three of them over the head with the crowbar. “But I can’t. Because I have too much love for the both of you. And I thought you two had a lot of love for me, too. Because any time that one of my so-called mentors left me high and dry, left me stranded, you guys were there to pick up the pieces and put me back on my feet.”
The fans rally for Garcia, and Garcia says after what FTR did to Adam Copeland and 2Point0, and then after they tried to break Garcia’s neck, Garcia was left looking for answers. But Garcia realized that he won’t get those answers just standing around having a therapy session with them. The fans say use the crowbar then! Garcia says he has an idea. Next week, it doesn’t matter if it is Dax, Cash, Stokely, all of them, fifteen of them, a hundred of them, FTR, CPR, the ER, it doesn’t matter! Just meet him in the ring so he can beat the answers out of them!! The fans fire up for that! Who will accept this challenge from an enraged Red Death?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision, but wow, six years and they haven’t learned how to not be redundant. While Moxley and Samoa Joe had good promos, Moxley having two promos is stupid. Skip the video one Moxley did backstage and just give us Moxley responding in anger to what Joe had to say. Same effect, but much more efficient. To be fair, I feel like a good number of this night was thrown together last minute. Because hey look, another match with “prize money” on the line when we know that’s kayfabe. It was still an awesome match from all four guys, with Hologram watching a la Sting and Darby, but what’s the point of a fake money prize? Sammy calls out Adam Cole here, why not make it some kind of TNT Championship #1 contender’s match?
Very good match from Storm VS Frost and a very good promo from Storm, and while we know Mercedes Mone VS Jamie Hayter is set, this feels like someone is going to challenge Storm for Double or Nothing in an attempt to change the All In: Texas plans. The wildest thing they could do is make it Athena as her way of getting to the All In card. They could even make it title for title because it’s Double or Nothing, and the winner brings both those titles to facing Mercedes Mone, and they have ALL the titles on the line because it’s All In! But because it’s that wild, they won’t do it. And to be fair, they really shouldn’t because then who would ever get a belt off the “Ultima Dragon” they create?
Megan of course beats Harley, but I appreciate that it led to Anna Jay making the save. Anna and Harley can certainly make a great team to battle Megan & Ford, but I feel like Megan & Ford win mostly because of Megan. Awesome match from Alexander VS Brody, and I really like that on the same day Konosuke and El Phantasmo have a 15 minute time limit draw in NJPW, Alexander and Brody have one here in AEW. Archer getting involved was also good stuff, but there’s no word on when Buddy Matthews is getting back so I’m not sure the chances of Hounds of Hell VS Don Callis Family.
But after that good promo from the Outrunners, I bet we get them and Brody working together as rather strange bedfellows. Very good stuff with Gates of Agony. They of course squashed their opponents tonight, but I like that we got a brawl of them and the former Learning Tree. Though, the brawl could’ve been a bit better, but I understand how no one wanted to fall on that hard concrete of the parking lot. I’m pretty sure we’ll get a tag match now, helping reestablish both teams in the tag division. But while CRU had a good promo to say they’re done with Top Flight, they’re like chihuahuas barking a big game thinking they can go against Kaun & Liona in a fair fight.
Caster adding a time limit to his Open Challenge was hilarious, since it added to how humiliating it was for Caster to lose fast. And Garcia answering the challenge also helped tie into tonight’s main event with FTR. Which also seemed rather out of nowhere, but it did make sense in story for FTR to go 2 outta 3 with Kyle & Roddy. Great main event with that, and I actually like Stokely’s strategy of forgoing the first fall to avoid any further damage. As such, FTR of course pulled off the comeback to win out, allowing Garcia to confront them. Thankfully, Garcia didn’t side with FTR, I had feared they’d do a lame bit of logic leaping. Garcia against either Dax or Cash will be a great singles match, and I feel like Cope will make some sort of heroic return so Garcia can have a tag partner to face FTR at Double or Nothing. Then Garcia turns.
My Score: 8.7/10

NJPW World Television Championship: El Phantasmo w/ Jado VS Konosuke Takeshita w/ Rocky Romero!
The Headbanga just got this belt back form Great-O-Khan, and he’s already going double or nothing with AEW’s Alpha! ELP is putting his title on the line tonight before he and Konosuke battle for the NEVER Openweight Championship at Resurgence. Will ELP come to regret upping the ante?
The introductions are made, ELP’s belt is raised, and we see if it stays ELP’s belt!
Tensions are high as belts are put aside. ELP and Konosuke talk trash, but then an ALPHA ELBOW knocks ELP out of the ring! Jado protests, Rocky distracts the ref, and Konosuke builds speed to FLY! While still wearing his jacket! The fans duel, Konosuke puts his jacket aside, and Konosuke puts ELP in the ring. The bell finally rings, and Konosuke goes up top! ELP runs up, Konosuke leaps over and kicks low. Konosuke whips, ELP reveres, but Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges and TAKESHITA LINES! The fans fire up and Konosuke brings ELP around. Konosuke suplexes, but ELP slips free and rolls Konosuke up, TWO!
Konosuke goes to a corner but ELP CHOPS! CHOPS! And CHOPS! The fans ‘WOO~” and ELP whips, but Konosuke reverses. ELP goes up and over, keeps moving, then ducks ‘n’ dodges to springboard CROSSBODY! Somersault to LIONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Konosuke stays in this and the fans rally up. ELP drags Konosuke up and has a straitjacket on the arm. Konosuke fights the lift with elbows, then wrenches free. Konosuke whips but ELP rolls off Konosuke’s back! ELP RANAS, then handsprings so he can LARIAT Konosuke up and out! The fans fire up again as now ELP builds speed! But Rocky gets Konosuke clear!
The fans boo and ELP storms out to glare at Azucar. But that lets Konosuke run up and CLOBBER ELP from behind! The fans boo but Konosuke and Rocky soak up the heat. Rocky talks trash, then Konosuke storms over to ELP. Konosuke stands ELP up to POST him! ELP slumps down to the floor, but he manages to stand up again. Konosuke stalks him around the way, then pushes him into the ring. Konosuke aims from the apron to slingshot SENTON! Konosuke taunts Jado but Jado coaches ELP. ELP sits up to CHOP! Konosuke eggs ELP on, so ELP CHOPS again! Konosuke stands ELP up so he can CHOP ELP down!
Konosuke stands ELP up again to wrench and whip corner to corner hard! ELP bounces off buckles and flops to the mat. Konosuke then stands on ELP at the ropes! The ref counts, Konosuke steps off at 4, and the fans rally. Konosuke puts ELP in a corner to whip him corner to corner again, and just as hard! ELP falls, Konosuke covers, TWO! ELP stays in this and the fans applaud, but Konosuke clamps on with a cobra clutch! ELP endures, fights around, but Konosuke thrashes him! Konosuke has the body scissors but the fans continue to rally. ELP reaches out with his free arm, but Konosuke hooks it with a leg! So ELP reaches out with a leg for the ROPEBREAK!
The fans cheer and ELP crawls his way to a corner. Konosuke makes his way over, stands ELP up, but ELP ROCKS Konosuke! And ROCKS him again! And again! But Konosuke ROCKS ELP in return! ELP staggers all the way back to the corner as we reach five minutes! Konosuke runs in and KNEES ELP down! Konosuke stands ELP back up, whips him corner to corner a third time, but ELP doesn’t bounce off the buckles. Konosuke runs up, but ELP ducks, and Konosuke’s jump knee hits buckles! Konosuke tumbles up and out to the floor! The fans fire up and ELP builds speed, to DIVE! Direct hit and Konosuke goes over the railing!
The fans fire up and Jado coaches ELP. Rocky gets in ELP’s face, but now Jado creeps up on Rocky. Rocky turns around, sees Jado, apologizes, but then ELP KICKS Rocky, and TOSSES him over railing, onto Konosuke! ELP goes back to the ring, and the fans rally up as ELP aims from the ropes! The fans join in with “E! L! P!” SUPER THUNDERKISS ATTACK!! Down go Rocky and Konosuke!! The fans are thunderous and ELP can’t believe he made it! ELP drags Konosuke up to dump him back to ringside. The fans rally again as ELP puts Konosuke on the apron. ELP hops up, reels him in, and hooks the arms!
The fans fire up, but Konosuke fights free! Konosuke ROCKS ELP, then KNEES him in the face! ELP sputters, Konosuke reels him in, BLUE- NO, ELP grabs the ropes to block! ELP throws down elbow after elbow, then rolls into the ring. ELP RAMS Konosuke, goes up the ropes, but Konosuke drags him into a shoulder rack! ELP CLUBS Konosuke’s legs, slips down and POSTS Konosuke! Then he reels Konosuke back in! Konosuke fights the underhooks, so ELP lifts for an APRON PILEDRIVER!! Both men hit the floor and the fans fire up again! The ref checks, Konosuke is able to continue, so the ring count begins.
Both men crawl around at 5 of 20, but ELP stands first. Konosuke tries but flops over at 8. ELP rolls in at 10 but Konosuke is still down at 12! Konosuke sits up but is still down at 15! We hit 17! 18! 19! Konosuke springs in at 19.99!! The fans cheer as this continues, but the clock is still on ELP’s side. ELP stands Konosuke up to ROCK him with a forearm! ELP eggs Konosuke on, and Konosuke ROCKS him back! ELP comes back to ROCK Konosuke again! Konosuke snarls while ELP eggs him on. The forearms fly again and again, but ELP wobbles! Konosuke fires more shots, even boxing elbows, but ELP ENZIGIRIS!
ELP runs, but Konosuke BOOTS him! Konosuke whips, ELP reverses, TAKESHITA LINE meets DROPKICK! ELP then springboards, into the ALPHA ELBOW! RAGING- CRADLE COUNTER! TWO!! SUDDEN DEATH!! Both men are down and the fans are thunderous again! ELP rises, he goes to a corner, and he tunes up the band! Konosuke rises, but then he drops! Sudden Death denied, but ELP reels Konosuke in! But Konosuke Alabama Lifts! And then he swings ELP around, into the BASTARD DRIVER!! Cover, TWO!!! ELP survives and the fans fire up again! The fans rally and duel, Konosuke stalks ELP, and he puts ELP on the top rope.

ELP survives that sudden turnaround, but Konosuke drags ELP right up. ELP wrenches free, slips around to waistlock, only for Konosuke to standing switch! Konosuke hops up, but ELP slips out the back, and then ELP hops on for a POISON-RANA!! The fans fire up and ELP throws off the elbow pads! ELP runs, but Konosuke slips around, hops on, POISON-RANA!!

ALPHA ELBOW! Then the POWER DRIVE- RANA! Cover, TWO!

Konosuke hurries to get the kneepad off, 10 seconds, but ELP LARIATS first!! ELP covers, ONE?!?! ELP tucks Konosuke in, but TIME IS UP!!
Time Limit Draw; ELP retains the title
Maybe ELP survived by the skin of his teeth, but maybe Konosuke was saved by the bell! At the very least, ELP denies Konosuke from becoming a two-time double champion. However, ELP is now the challenger to Konosuke’s NEVER Openweight Champion. They both have just SIX DAYS to prepare, will Konosuke NEVER let ELP be a double champion?
Hiroshi Tanahashi VS Zack Sabre Jr!
The Final Road leads The Ace to face one of his best young rivals in the Front Man. Will President Tanahashi show that he is still just as mighty? Or will he #JustTapOut?

But ZSJ drops down to victory roll, only for Tanahashi to roll it back! TWO!! ZSJ escapes, scoops, but Tanahashi cradles! TWO!! ZSJ escapes again, Tanahashi slips around and O’Conner Rolls, JAPANESE LEG ROLL! TWO!! ZSJ has a SLEEPER! Tanahashi rolls back, ZSJ rolls through, and he still has the SLEEPER! Tanahashi fights up, reaches out, and the fans rally as hard as they can, but Tanahashi is fading!
The ref checks, but ZSJ spins Tanahasi around! Scoop and SABRE DRIVER!! Cover, ZSJ WINS!
Winner: Zack Sabre Jr, by pinfall
The final time between these two goes to The Front Man! The Mighty Don’t Kneel, but ZSJ does sit with Tanahashi to show his respect. The Final Road still has many stops to go, what other final showdowns will we see for The Ace?
Shota Umino VS Shingo Takagi!
Ever since The Roughneck started this Second Chapter, he’s had a new attitude, and he’s picked a fight with a Rampaging Dragon. Shota vows that one way or another, he will lead Hontai and all of NJPW. Will this be where his Paradigm Shift truly begins? Or will Takagi keep things tranquilo for Dontaku?
Takagi seems to anticipate something, as he’s bringing a chair with him to the ring. The ref warns him about that, but then Takagi pushes him aside! And he CHUCKS the chair at Shota! Shota dodges but Takagi fires off Shota in the other corner! The fans rally, the ref reprimands, and Takagi stops to put his jacket aside. The bell rings but Shota turns things around on Takagi to fire forearms! Takagi turns things back around to fire forearms of his own! Takagi then JABS, JABS, JABS until Shota sits down! The ref reprimands but Takagi pushes him aside again. Takagi whips corner to corner, runs up, but blocks Shota’s boot.
Shota avoids Takagi’s lariat, runs and RAMS shoulders, but Takagi doesn’t budge! Shota runs, RAMS Takagi again, then runs and RAMS him again! Takagi whips Shota out of the ring, but Shota slips back into the ring. Shota sends Takagi out, Takagi bumps into railing, and the fans rally up. Shota follows Takagi around the way, but Takagi ELBOWS and HEADBUTTS Shota! Takagi CLUBS Shota, then pushes him into the apron. Takagi whips, Shota reverses, and Takagi hits railing again! The fans rally while both men catch their breath. Shota storms over to Takagi, drags him up, and puts him in the ring.
The fans applaud and Takagi gets moving! Takagi RAMS Shota, Shota rebounds and he finally runs Takagi over! The fans rally and duel, and Shota watches Takagi go to a corner. Shota runs in and UPPERCUTS! Shota then hooks a leg, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, ONE! Not quite perfect but Shota doesn’t let it bother him. Shota drags Takagi up but Takagi fights the lift. Shota CLUBS away on Takagi, brings him up and turns him, but Takagi fights free. Shota runs up but into the ELBOW! JAB! And feint to the JAB again! Then YUKON LARIAT! The fans fire up, Takagi runs, and he LARIATS Shota up and out!
The fans rally as Takagi goes out after Shota. Takagi stands Shota up, then whips Shota into railing! Then he brings Shota around the way to SMACK him off the timekeeper’s table! Takagi grabs a chair, SMACKS Shota on the back, then CHUCKS the chair at Shota’s head! The ref reprimands while Shota slumps down, and the fans are a bit torn. Takagi kicks at Shota while he’s down, the ref reprimands more, so Takagi drags Shota up and back to ringside. Takagi puts Shota in the ring, has the fans rally more, and then winds up as Shota stands. Takagi runs in and LARIATS! Shota slumps back down but Takagi eggs him on.
Takagi kicks at Shota, but Shota kicks back! Takagi eggs Shota on more so Shota kicks more. Takagi kicks at Shota again, then even slaps him! Takagi CLUBS Shota, and Shota stands up in a huff. Shota fires a forearm, but Takagi shakes his head. Shota fires another forearm, but Takagi still shakes his head. Shota fires a third, but Takagi short arm LARIATS! And short arm LARIATS! And short arm LARIATS! Takagi reels Shota in and POWERBOMBS! Cover, TWO! Shota stays in this but Takagi stays cool. The fans rally and Takagi gives Shota more scuffing kicks.

Shota’s Second Chapter still hasn’t quite turned things around, and he even has a bloody nose from that last impact. But has he learned what it takes to be an IWGP World Heavyweight Champion from a former champion like Takagi? Will Takagi find himself on the path back to that title soon enough?
Dogpound Cage Match, Losers Leave Bullet Club: War Dogs VS House of Torture!
For quite some time, there has been tension between the many branches of The Club. In some ways, this dates back to when Jay White led the Firing Squad. But things really escalated this year, when the New Beginning in Osaka became the beginning of the end! David Finlay leads Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors, “Drilla” Dan Moloney & Taiji Ishimori against Evil, Yoshinobu Kanemaru, Sho, Ren Narita, and the newest traitor, Sanada! This will be the final battle, but who will prove they are THE Bullet Club?
Well, while they’re not directly in the match, Yujiro Takahashi & Dick Togo are still ringside, because they’re as much part of this as the others. Even that aside, Evil and the boys are already armed. The King of Darkness has a chair while everyone else has their signatures, like the whiskey bottle, “Torture Tool,” pushup bar and guitar. The War Dogs are just as prepared, as there are kendo sticks, baseball bats, a trashcan full of other goodies, and Drilla is even wearing an ammo belt of silverware! But then The Rebel ups the ante by locking the cage door! No one in or out, except by the Dogs climbing the cage from all sides! The Dogs close in, the bell rings, and the war is on!
The fans fire up as Finlay goes after Evil, Gabe has Narita, Drilla has Sanada, Connors has Kanemaru and Taiji has Sho. Finlay shoves Evil into the cage, then into a POST! Gabe uses a kendo stick, but Narita takes that from him to SMACK him down! Only for Finlay to be all over Narita! Evil JAMS Finlay with a chair, puts him in the ring, and then Narita JAMS Connors and Gabe with that chair! Finlay and Evil brawl, Finlay HEADBUTTS and Evil CHOPS! Finlay kicks Evil, TOSSES him back out, but Evil JAMS Finlay with a kendo stick! Evil SMACKS Finlay with the stick, then Connors brings Narita into the ring.
Connors whips but Narita reverses, Connors hits buckles hard! They go back outside, so Taiji puts Sho in. Taiji stomps Sho, Evil SMACKS Connors, Finlay throws hands on Evil! Taiji SMACKS Sho around, Drilla CLAWS Narita’s face and SMACKS him with another kendo stick. Things spill back outside, Drilla JAMS Sho up! Gabe SMACKS Narita! The fans rally for Gabe, but Sanada CLAWS Taiji’s eyes! Gabe puts Narita in the ring and the fans rally for the Mad Man. Gabe bumps Narita off buckles, then CHOPS again and again! The fans bark with every CHOP, and Gabe grabs himself a chair! Gabe winds up, and he CHUCKS the chair at Narita’s face!
Narita falls out of the ring and the fans fire up for Gabe! Gabe then goes out, only for Narita to HEADSHOT him with the chair! Narita SMACKS Gabe on the back! Taiji and Sho get back in the ring, and Taiji ROCKS Sho! But Sho CLAWS Taiji’s eyes! Sho has his tool, but Taiji dodges the attack! Taiji then kicks low, whips, but Sho reverses. Taiji handsprings to NEURALIZER KICK! Kanemaru DROPKICKS Taiji! Connors JEEP FLIPS Kanemaru! Narita BOOTS Connors! Gabe UPPERCUTS Narita, then hits the SAIDO! Evil LARIATS Gabe! Finlay hits an IRISH CURSE BACKBREAKER! Sanada suplexes for the MAGIC SCREW!
Drilla steps in but Sanada KICKS the ropes! The fans boo as Sanada gets Drilla down low! But then Sanada has the legs! Drilla kicks free of the Paradise Lock, then DUMPS Sanada to the outside! Sanada gets up, ROCKS Drilla, then steps inside, only for Drilla to KICK the ropes! The fans cheer as Sanada tastes his own medicine! Drilla then hits a SPINEBUSTER, and the fans bark with Drilla. Drilla reels Sanada in, Canadian Racks, but Sho LOW BLOWS! The fans boo, but then Sanada grabs one of Drilla’s forks! Sanada STABS Drilla in the forehead! Sho hands out the forks, but Sanada DIGS his into Drilla’s forehead!
The fans boo and Red Shoes reprimands, but that’s all he can do. Evil undoes the red corner’s buckle pad while Kanemaru and Sho each DIG their forks into Drilla! Evil is untying more buckle pads while the others keep the War Dogs down. We’re now in a four corners of danger situation! Connors returns, but he’s sent into steel buckles! Drilla is bloody already, but Kanemaru bumps him off buckles! Sho TOSSES Connors out while Sanada DIGS his fork into Drilla’s wound! The fans boo as Drilla suffers! Finlay is back but Evil kicks him low, then POSTS him hard! Finlay falls out of the ring, writhing while clutching his shoulder!
Sho digs Connors’ face into the cage, and Dick is there to DIG a fork into Connors’ forehead!! The fans boo as Dick JABS away on Connors! Evil and Sanada stand over Drilla in the ring, these two working together like the old days. Kanemaru SMACKS Taiji with a buckle pad! Sanada bumps Drilla off buckles, then BITES at the wound! That’s Cold Blooded to say the least! Evil stomps Connors, then Kanemaru takes a turn standing on Drilla’s neck! Kanemaru steps off to run up and BOOT Drilla in the corner! Evil uses the barbed wire from Connors’ hat to DIG at Drilla’s forehead! Drilla roars in anger, but Evil CHOKES Drilla with Dick’s Spoiler Choker!
The fans boo but Evil tells them to shut up. Taiji is thrown into the cage! Evil hits a FISHERMAN BUSTER on Drilla! Cover, TWO!! Drilla is still in this and Evil is furious. The fans cheer but Sho storms in. Gabe CHUCKS a table! Narita dodges and they brawl! Sho BITES Drilla’s forehead! Sho then digs his boot into the forehead, and so does Evil! Drilla pushes them back but Narita SMACKS Gabe’s face off the table again and again! Narita then BULLDOGS Gabe through the table! Gabe is stuck against the wood while Evil laughs at his pain. Drilla continues to be tortured by the House of Torture but the fans rally for him.
The House whips Drilla into a corner! Then Sho hits a LARIAT! Kanemaru adds an ELBOW! Narita adds an ELBOW! Sanada adds an ELBOW! Evil LARIATS, then he snapmares Drilla. Sho & Narita hold Drilla open, Kanemaru climbs up with a kendo stick, but the Dogs make the save! The fans rally, Connors dodges Kanemaru to SPEAR! The kendo stick goes flying! The Dogs each have a man, and they climb up to rain down fists! The fans bark as we go al the way to TEN! That’s a total of FIFTY right there! The Dogs then TOSS the House out, and Finlay keeps Sho in the ring. Sanada is sent into the steel, and then the Dogs make sure everyone is lined up.
Finlay brings Sho up to the top rope! Red Shoes and the fans freak out for the SUPER DUPER PLEXÂ onto the group! Talk about a dogpile! The fans rally up again while all ten men are down! Gedo says c’mon, boys! Kill ’em all! The fans bark and the dogs rise up. Connors manages to stand, and he gets his baseball bat! Connors stalks Kanemaru, stands him up, and puts him in the ring. Kanemaru has a kendo stick, but Connors takes aim! Swing and a hit! No more kendo stick! Kanemaru panics and begs for mercy! Connors calls his shot, but Sho grabs the bad! Kanemaru kicks Connors, Sho JAMS Connors up with his bat!

Connors takes a swig just to mist it into the air, and he tells his guys to get up!
Taiji climbs, Connors HEADBUTTS Sho, but wait, Dick & Yujiro try to stop Taiji. Gedo runs up to DECK Dick and SMACK the Tokyo Pimp! The fans fire up as Taiji, bloodied himself, hits an ARIHARA MOONSAULT on Sho & Kanemaru! But then Evil CLOBBERS Connors and DECKS Taiji! Finlay is up to CLOBBER Evil! Evil is in the ring, he has the shillelagh! Finlay dodges to fire off forearms! ROLLING ELBOW! Finlay has his shillelagh back!! The fans fire up as Finlay gives it a kiss, but Evil CLAWS Finlay’s eyes! Evil whips but Finlay reverses, and now Evil hits POST! Finlay reels Evil in, FULL METAL BUCKLE BOMB!!
Finlay reels Evil back in, slashes his throat, and OVER- NO, Evil fights the Overkill! Finlay fights free of that, but then avoids Everything is Evil! GUN STUN!! Shoutout to the OGs of Bullet Club! Then INTO OBLIVION!! Cover, Narita YANKS Red Shoes out of the ring! The fans boo but Narita just grins. Finlay BLASTS Narita off the apron for it, then paces around. Everyone else is down, but Finlay grabs a chair before he goes outside. Finlay dares Evil to get up, and Evil stands, so Finlay CHUCKS the chair at him! Finlay pushes things aside, such as the busted table, to bring out a fresh table! The fans rally as Finlay sets this one up by a corner.
Gedo tells Finlay to end this! Finlay says he’s gonna end this! Finlay reels Evil in, but Dick POCKET SANDS through the cage!! The fans boo but then Dick KICKS Gedo!

Finlay goes after Evil with the shillelagh, but Evil fights it off! Yujiro hops in, and he has a big steel chain! Yujiro CLUBS Finlay down using it, then wraps it around Finlay’s neck! Yujiro CHOKES Evil while Evil BREAKS the shillelagh! Evil uses one of the jagged ends to DIG at Finlay’s face!! The fans boo but Finlay is bloodied. Evil wraps the chain around his fist to punch Finlay over and over! Evil BITES at Finlay’s wound while Yujiro brings out a new table! And another new table! These are set up side-by-side, and then Evil goes back for Finlay. Drilla is back and LOW BLOWS Yujiro! And he LOW BLOWS Yujiro!
Drilla chases Sanada into the ring, dodges his Smash Hit, and hits the GORE! Drilla has the guitar and the fans fire up! Drilla gives Sanada the SMASH HIT!!!

Drilla lifts but Sanada fights! Sanada fireman’s carries, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER through the table! Drilla is down in the wreckage, but now a bloodied Gabe and Narita find each other in the ring! Gabe ROCKS Narita, but Narita ROCKS Gabe! Gabe is like a zombie as he keeps coming back for more!
The fans rally as the shots go back and forth between Mad Man and Souled Out Son of Strong Style! Gabe fires shot after shot, but Narita BITES Gabe’s face! Narita pushes Gabe down, then drags him back up, only for Gabe to HEADBUTT Narita down! Narita falls over and writhes, but Gabe is hungry for more! The fans rally as Gabe winds up, and Gabe runs to COMEBACKER LARIAT!! Narita is in a daze from being flipped upside-down, but Gabe vows to end this! Gabe goes outside, looks under the ring, and he brings out a table wrapped in barbed wire! The fans fire up as the Mad Man ups the ante!
Gabe has to be careful with how he handles this thorny bit of furniture, but he manages to put it in the ring and stand it up. Gabe slashes his throat and the fans fire up again. Narita takes a swing, Gabe dodges once, but Narita JAMS him up the second time! Narita, crimson mask worst of everyone’s, drags Gabe up. Narita GRINDS Gabe’s face against the barbed wire!!! The fans freak out, as does Red Shoes, but Narita stops and grins through his own blood. Narita then stands Gabe back up, and CLUBS him onto the table! Narita has Gabe prone, then he goes up the corner. Narita climbs, but Gabe rises and UPPERCUTS!
The fans rally up again as Gabe ROCKS Narita! Gabe adjusts the table’s position, then climbs up after Narita. Gabe says Narita did this to himself. Gabe HEADBUTTS Narita, then reels him in! Narita fights with body shots, but Gabe fires forearms! They brawl up top, there’s blood dripping onto the camera… Gabe wobbles, but he HEADBUTTS back! Gabe then double checks his math, and he shouts, “I’m a MAD MAN, y’know!!” SECOND ROPE PILEDRIVERÂ down through the barbed wire table!!!! Cover, WAR DOGS WIN!!!!
Winners: War Dogs, by pinfall (House of Torture is exiled from Bullet Club)
Wait, Evil has cuffed Finlay to the cage! He’s got a dog collar around Finlay’s neck! Evil doesn’t care if he lost the war, he wants to rid the War Dogs of their leader!! Evil throws the chain over the top, then climbs out so he can CHOKE Finlay!! Evil is trying to hang Finlay!! The others rush over so Evil retreats. The King of Darkness is no longer Too Sweet, but will this only make the House of Torture more dangerous?
As for the Dogs, Finlay is freed of the collar but they need keys for the cuffs. Keys are found, and Gedo helps free Finlay from the cage. Bruised, battered, bloodied, but triumphant, the War Dogs regroup in the ring while the rest of the House flees. Finlay shows off the barbed wire table Gabe used to end this, and Drilla pours out Kanemaru’s whiskey in celebration. Gabe throws up the Too Sweet, but he also has the mic to tell them to turn the music off. The fans cheer as the Dogs stand tall, and Gabe barks. The fans bark along, and then Gabe says, “They wanted to try and take it from us. They wanted to try and take it from us.
“How can you take it from us when this is our effing lives?! This is the house that WE built! WE made Bullet Club popping! This is the number one Bullet Club, and you wanna take it from us!? You will say thank you, you will say effin’ thank you!” Gabe DGAF! You can bring up AJ Styles, Kenny Omega, Jay White, F THEM! THIS is Bullet Club now! The fans cheer that! Gabe says THIS is the best Bullet Club that has ever been! F Yota Tsuji and Yuya Uemura, these are the guys saving NJPW! Every day! And if you ain’t down with that, then you ain’t a dawg for real! Gabe throws down the mic and The War Dogs celebrate!
Will no one from nowhere in the wrestling world ever stop this Bullet Club? Will the wrestling world soon belong to the Dogs?
My Thoughts:
A great event here to kick off Dontaku weekend. A lot of good tune-up stuff, with Ishii’s team winning their 8 Man Tag to mostly build Yuya Uemura going into his match with Yota Tsuji. They’ll have a great Global Heavyweight Championship match but I feel like Tsuji retains. Bishamon & Taguchi won their match, but I can’t be sure the go-home math now favors Callum Newman in the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match tomorrow. It’d still be pretty wild if Callum won, but I’m still favoring Goto.
Great NJPW World TV Championship match, especially because of the time limit draw. ELP and Konosuke are now going into the NEVER Openweight Championship match at even, which makes me think Konosuke retains his title. Part of that is how Takagi stared Konosuke down after Shota VS Takagi. I’m a touch surprised Takagi won because of how Shota’s been running hot. Perhaps it lends itself to Shota’s story of growing up and learning how to truly be that top guy and living up to expectations rather than them writing him as if he’s just magically there. This can pay off in the long run so that fans can accept Shota and not feel he was shoved down their throats, a la a “Super Cena” type story.
We got a great match from Tanahashi VS ZSJ in their final match against each other, and ZSJ going over was the right call here. ZSJ himself is working his way back up after losing the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship and then missing out on the New Japan Cup this year. This last win over Tanahashi can certainly propel ZSJ up to the world title, and he can go out there tomorrow to challenge the winner of Goto VS Callum. Then a great main event, where everyone learned from the original Dogpound match to hold back a touch. It was still plenty violent and chaotic, but they let the ring stay in one piece so we don’t end up with another injury like Alex Coughlin got.
And War Dogs winning fits, as the House of Torture always felt like it should’ve been its own faction from the start. Evil, Sanada and the boys can focus on House of Torture merch, and the feud doesn’t even have to end given we’ll be seeing Sho, Kanemaru, Connors and Ishimori in Best of the Super Juniors, meaning they will encounter each other at some point.
My Score: 9/10
