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

The fans rally even harder as Oleg rises again. Oleg roars, drags Ren up, and fireman’s carries! VERDICT!! Ren flounders but Oleg makes the cover this time, ROPEBREAK!!

DICK LOW BLOWS OLEG!! The ref misses all that, and Ren drags Oleg back down!! Oleg TAPS, Ren wins!!
Winner: Ren Narita, by submission (still NEVER Openweight Champion)
Another day, another way for Ren to cheat and steal this title away! Then the House stomps away on Oleg! Wolf returns to run them off, but he was not enough to even the odds during the match. Wolf grabs a mic to tell Ren, “What do you think you’re playing at? See if you can step on me one more time! Put that belt on the line and fight me! I promise to take back that title!” The Wolf has eyes on his prey, but will he huff ‘n’ puff and blow the House of Torture down? Or will they stack the deck too high for anyone to overcome?
IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship: Yota Tsuji VS Andrade El Idolo!
What was meant to be former friends settling a grudge is now a second chance for a “Real Latino Man.” Gabe Kidd is hurt, so Andrade is back again, but will he redeem himself from the New Beginning in USA? Or will Gene Blast still be golden?

Winner: Andrade El Idolo, by pinfall (NEW IWGP Global Heavyweight Champion)
An instant classic and an absolute shocker at the same time as Andrade has his revenge! Yota went from two belts to none, what will his journey of redemption look like?
As for Andrade, Tanahashi presents him with the belt, and Andrade holds it high. This is not only a win for the United Empire, but a win for AEW and the Don Callis Family. Andrade grabs a mic to say, “I did it.” The fans applaud, and Andrade continues by saying, “I wanna say thank you. Yota Tsuji is good, he’s an amazing talent, but Andrade El Idolo was better tonight.” The fans applaud again, and Andrade says he knows many know he is an AEW talent, but this title is NJPW’s. So Andrade will now officially be working in both companies, both companies are in his blood. And he wants to thank everyone here in Japan for watching.
Andrade says he now has a question, and it is a simple one: Who wants to challenge him? The fans applaud, and Andrade drops the mic. Andrade holds up the belt again, but wait! Stepping out in a nice suit is Drilla Moloney. But then Shota Umino is also here, still in ring gear. Andrade likes where this is going as the two challengers talk on stage. 44 Caliber and Roughneck both go to the ring, and Andrade asks if they heard what he said. So Drilla wants this title? And Shota wants it, too? Then he has an idea.
If they want this title, HIS title, why not this just be a Triple Threat for the Global Heavyweight Championship? Just say where, when, and what time. Then The RRRREAL~ Latino Man will be there! The fans cheer as Andrade is already raising the bar on this belt! Andrade says just call and he’ll be there. Andrade tells the fans, “Arigato!” The fans cheer, but will Andrade regret stacking the odds for his first defense? When and where will we see this shootout happen?
My Thoughts:
A great start to the Wrestling Dontaku double event, and quite the surprising result for the main event. While House of Torture shenanigans were 1000% expected for Narita VS Oleg, that was still a great match. But at the same time, as great as Oleg is, he was not going to become a TRIPLE champion between the NJPW Strong and both NEVER Openweight titles. Aaron Wolf stepping up to Ren is good stuff, but seriously, can Tanahashi use his authority to put ringside bans up? It’s actually bad kayfabe logic from management to not see that as an option.
But as I was saying, amazing main event, and Yota losing is pretty wild. I suppose even if this was Yota Tsuji VS Gabe Kidd, Gabe winning would’ve worked in story, too, positioning this title as a crossover title between NJPW and AEW. Yota’s story of making a comeback will be an intriguing one. Perhaps he uses the G1 Climax as his road back. As for Andrade being up for the Triple Threat with Shota and Drilla, that’s pretty cool, too. I don’t see Andrade losing his first defense, but a Triple Threat is a classic way to keep all parts strong no matter the result.
My Score: 8.9/10

Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong are still the AEW World Trios Champions after facing yet another Don Callis Family formation, but now they’re preparing for Dynamite Double Jeopardy on Wednesday.

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander, Hikaru Shida, Harley Cameron & Mina Shirakawa.
Renee Paquette is with all four women in a familiar situation, and thanks them all for accepting the No Physicality Agreement. Renee understands Shida has something to say. Shida says yes! Shida again says she is so sorry, Stat, and that she will make it up to her! That’s why Shida got Kris another tag match! But against THESE TWO! Harley acts surprised, and sarcastically asks if Shida is really allowing herself to wrestle someone not on her level. Can she even talk to someone “not” on her level or what? How does this work? Shida says enough, Harley! You don’t even deserve to touch the kendo stick! Shida then uses Japanese to hide her comments about Harley & Mina having nothing but bosoms.
Mina says enough! Stat, how can you still trust Shida? How can you give her another chance? And… Where was Kris the night Toni was attacked? Shida says enough about Toni! Harley tries to reason with Kris, but Kris storms off. So is that a yes to the match? Mina apologizes to Harley, Harley says she has no idea what to say, but will the Wild Aussie & Fighting Gravure Idol let their actions speak for them against #Shidalander?
Ace Austin & Juice Robinson VS Wheeler Yuta & Daniel Garcia!
The Bang Bang Gang has been struggling to stay afloat, and now they go up against The Death Riders’ Decoder & Dragon Slayer! Will Yuta & Garcia keep the momentum going from what Moxley and the others did earlier tonight? Or can these Collision Cowboys ride off into the Peoria sunset with a win?

Collision returns as the Death Riders continue to mug Ace. They shove him to the corner, then Garcia sends Yuta in for the BODY BLOCK! Garcia LARIATS, Yuta ELBOWS, repeat! The Cycle of Violence continues until Ace BOOTS Yuta and ELBOWS Garcia! The fans fire up as Ace hurries, but the Death Riders THROW him back! And they BLAST Juice together!

Backstage interview with The Divine Dominion.
Lexy Nair is with Megan Bayne & Lena Kross, and Megan says no, she’s not with them, she’s beneath them. Just like this entire Women’s Division. Lena says Divine Dominion just defeated Stat & Shida, two former world champions, and two of the best in this company. And yet they crumbled at Divine Dominion’s feet! What two other women even have a prayer? Can Lexy think of them? Wanna try? N-NO, absolutely not. Then the only hope this Women’s Division has is if the gods themselves take mercy on their souls and strike these two down. Otherwise, just stop trying. Megan & Lena have spoken, but will that challenge soon be matched?
Skye Blue VS Nixi XS!
The Chicago Skye looms dark over Peoria, especially after she and the Triangle of Madness misted Persephone full in the face just to cheat a win last week. But will Skye make sure to leave her opponent black ‘n’ blue tonight? Or will the Alien Girl shine through with neon colors?

AEW TNT Championship: Kevin Knight VS Hook w/ The Opps!
The Jet used MJF’s own tricks against him to keep this title, and now he has his shot at Darby Allin’s AEW World Championship this Wednesday. But will Knight still be bringing this gold with him? Or will the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil finally make himself the Face of TNT?

Hook soaks up more heat as he swaggers around the way, but the ref checks Knight. Knight rises up but the ref has Hook stay back. That just lets Shibata DUMP Knight to ringside! And even stomp him! Hook argues with the ref as a further distraction so Shibata can stand Knight up. Hook KNEES Knight, then whips him hard into railing! Hook CLUBS Knight, soaks up heat, then goes to the ring.

Hook tried to take this title, even had Shibata-sensei there to tip the scales, but it just wasn’t enough to stop The Jet from taking off! But will Knight soon make himself a double champion? Or will Darby Allin’s relentless reign not stop just yet?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision to follow a great Dynamite, but naturally status quo is kept with all these title matches. I liked the Jurassic Express National Tour vignette, and that was an awesome match in Jack VS Dorada. Anna Jay also looked great in her return, but of course Willow wins to keep the TBS title. Good promo from after Dynamite with Kris being rightfully angry with Shida, and good promo from #Shidalander with Harley & Mina. I feel like they can do a two-in-one, where Shidalander falls apart to set up their feud, while also giving Harley & Mina reason to become a team to help bolster the Women’s Tag Division.
Speaking of, very good promo from Divine Dominion to address how they’re dominating the division. There are only so many teams in the tag division so we need an influx of more, maybe have some crossover with Stardom and CMLL real quick, really spice things up as we get closer to Forbidden Door. Skye Blue of course won, and pretty dominantly at that. I can’t tell if Julia Hart is resting from an injury or what but she wasn’t even ringside for Skye, hopefully things are alright. Very fun trios match from Conglomeration VS MXM TV, great win for Conglomeration, but AEW needs to figure out more trios. Putting Ciampa with FTR is still a great team, but they gotta get longer running teams going, like LFI or maybe even Shane Taylor Promotions.
Awesome stuff with that 10 Man Tag, so wild and chaotic in a good way, but I figured Death Riders & Dogs would win. The Dogs need to stay afloat without Gabe Kidd as their anchor, and there’s the whole story with Ospreay that Death Riders need to stay strong for. Great tag match from Yuta & Garcia VS Ace & Juice, too, and great win for Bang Bang Gang. Especially with a return from Austin & Colten Gunn, because now we can get Bang Bang Gang VS Death Riders in an 8 Man Tag, someone going after the Continental Championship for it, who knows what else. For that matter, Bang Bang Gang needs to get back in those tag and trios divisions to at least bolster the ranks.
And great main event with the TNT Championship. Hook looked good for most of this, but the German Suplex was a bit janky. Thankfully, Knight is so tall and athletic that he made himself look even cooler in his escape. Knight of course won, mostly because it is more exciting if he has a chance of becoming Jet Two Belts. He won’t, because Darby and MJF are still building towards their rematch for Double or Nothing, but Knight will look awesome again. If anything, Knight VS Shibata should be the TNT title match for Double or Nothing, that’s a great story of student and teacher they can easily reference in the build.
My Score: 8.9/10
