PLAY BY PLAY

Stephanie Vaquer is here!

The fans cheer for La Primera as she makes her way to the ring, still the NXT Women’s Double Champion! NXT General Manager, Ava, is there to meet her, and she says, “Ever since Stephanie has stepped foot in NXT, she has shown everyone exactly why she is La Primera.” The fans cheer, and Ava says after walking out victorious last week, that shows exactly the caliber Stephanie is. However, given the depth of the NXT Women’s Division, both titles deserve to be defended frequently. The two have put a lot of thought into this, and felt it was not fair for her to continue to do this alone.

The fans boo, but Ava says the decision has been made: Stephanie will relinquish the Women’s North American Championship. The fans boo more, but Ava says a new champion will be decided at Stand & Deliver in a Six Woman Ladder Match, and the qualifiers begin tonight. The fans chant “NO! NO! NO!” but Vaquer assures them she understands that this is not a popular decision. But NXT has given her an opportunity to do the same for everyone else. She really wants to push her NXT Women’s Division, not stop it. The fans do cheer that, and sing “OLE~, OLE OLE OLE~! OLE~, OLE~!”

Vaquer says tonight, she will give up the North American title. But under one condition: She gets to pick who she faces at Stand & Deliver for THE NXT Women’s Championship. The fans like that! Wait, here comes Jordynne Grace! The Juggernaut tells Stephanie that she’s sorry she keeps interrupting, but she’s happy to hear Stephanie gets to choose her opponent. Now that Jaida’s out of the picture, Jordynne and Stephanie can focus on the match everyone has really been looking forward to. For the first time ever on NXT’s biggest stage, Juggernaut VS La Primera. But wait, here comes Miss Parker!

Jaida says hear that? See, Jordynne, “Miss Muscle Mommy,” Jaida being out of the picture is insane. But if Jordynne actually stayed down where Jaida left her ass last time, Jaida would’ve beaten Stephanie, and she’d be here with the NXT Women’s Championship around her little ol’ waist. But Stephanie, baby, it was that close, and we all know it. But go ahead, call your shot. Because when they run this bac- Jordynne interrupts Jaida, and says she had her opportunity. Jaida called her shot, and she fumbled. Now, Jaida may not understand how championships work, seeing as how she’s never held one before…

But Jaida is going to the back of the line. Vaquer says it looks like these two need to work this out. And so the two start throwing shots! Jaida shoves, Jordynne dodges, and then Jordynne puts Jaida on the apron! Jordynne DECKS Jaida, but here comes security! Only for Jordynne to DECK one, and TOSS the other out onto the rest! The fans go nuts as the Juggernaut warns Jaida to watch herself! Jaida says nobody’s scared of Jordynne! Will these two throw down to then move on to Stand & Deliver?

 

Trick Williams speaks.

Over the weekend, Trick put on his Instagram, “LET’S TALK ABOUT IT OBA,” accompanied by a video. “Yo, what’s good, Oba? I mean, I already made the challenge, boy, but you ain’t hear me? I had Timbs all up in my face, I know you saw it. I ain’t no little punk like Je’Von that you can just throw around, you know where to find me: On Tuesday in the ring so we can talk about my NXT title, Stand & Deliver. Let’s talk about it.”

 

Backstage interview with Oba Femi.

Sarah Schreiber catches the NXT Champion as he’s arriving and asks about Trick’s post calling Oba out, claiming Oba doesn’t respect him. Oba says he doesn’t care what Trick said, because Trick is not the champion, OBA IS. Oba does not answer to Trick, Trick answers to Oba. Trick waits on Oba. Tonight, Trick gets Oba’s final verdict, and finds out the hard way why you don’t call out The Ruler. Oba moves on, what will he have to say to the former champion?

 

The NXT Women’s Division talks.

After that big announcement from Ava, Arianna Grace says she would do this, but ladder matches are dangerous. Fallon Henley says no one cares what Arianna thinks. She is ready to qualify and get her title back. She and Jazmyn Nyx high-five, but Lola Vice says no one wants Fallon as champ again. This is Lola’s opportunity. Cora Jade says like Lola would know what to do with that title, other than shake her ass with it. The locker room gets real fired up now! But who will put money where their mouths are and head for Las Vegas?

 

NXT Women’s North American Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: Zaria w/ Sol Ruca VS Lash Legend w/ Jakara Jackson!

With just three Tuesdays left before WrestleMania Weekend, it is time to shuffle the deck and deal out the opportunities. Will the Agent of Change be the first to punch her ticket? Or will the Bougie Bully make her pump the brakes?

The bell rings and Zaria circles with Lash. They tie up, go around, and end up on the ropes. Then they move off the ropes, break, and the fans cheer the stare down. Lash and Zaria tie up again, Lash waistlocks and SLAMS! Lash styles on Zaria, eggs her on, and puts up the hand for a knuckle lock. Zaria obliges, they go shoulder to shoulder for a Test of Strength, and Zaria bends Lash back! Lash fights up to bend Zaria back! Zaria powers up again, and the fans fire up as she roars! Lash gets under to BACKDROP! Cover, ONE!! Lash stands Zaria up to whip her to ropes. Zaria slips around to crucifix but Lash stays up!

Zaria shifts to a sunset flip, but Lash stays up to YANK Zaria up! Zaria CHOPS Lash! Lash frowns and CHOPS back! The fans fire up for that one! Zaria CHOPS, Lash swings, but Zaria dodges to jump on! Lash fights the Guillotine, but she drops to a knee! Lash powers up again to lift and put Zaria on the apron! Zaria RAMS into Lash, then slingshots up and over to sunset flip! TWO! Lash hurries up, but Zaria scoops! Lash slips free, scoops Zaria, and SLAMS her! Lash then runs, but Zaria avoid the elbow drop! Zaria returns, but Lash dodges the elbow drop! Lash kips up and the fans fire up! But Zaria kips, not quite as clean.

Lash clamps onto Zaria’s neck, Zaria returns the favor! Lash fires KNEE after KNEE, then CHOKE- NO, Zaria victory rolls it! TWO, and Lash PUMP KICKS Zaria out of the ring! Jakara talks trash, but Sol storms up to back her off. Lash storms out to back Jakara up, and NXT goes to break.

NXT returns and Zaria endures a bearhug! Zaria fights free, runs, but Lash ROCKS her! Zaria leans on the ropes, Lash drags her up to torture rack. Zaria endures the backbreaker stretch, even as Lash puts on the pressure. Zaria pries at the grip, Lash THROWS her, but Zaria lands out! Lash dodges Zaria’s lariat, and then DOUBLE LARIATS take both women down! The fans fire up for “NXT! NXT!” while the ref checks Lash and Zaria. They both rise up, and Zaria fires a haymaker! Lash fires back! Zaria fires another! Lash fires back! The shots keep going, Zaria gets the edge, and she brings Lash around, but Lash THROWS Zaria down!

Lash and Zaria are both running low on energy, but Lash gets Zaria up. Zaria fights the suplex, but so does Lash! They fight for control, and ZARIA suplexes up and over! Lash goes to a corner, Zaria runs in to LARIAT! Zaria whips corner to corner but Lash reverses. Lash runs up, but into a BOOT! Zaria hops up, Lash stands, Zaria CROSSBODIES! But Lash catches her! SWINGING BACKBREAKER! And then Lash reels Zaria in, but Zaria RANAS free of the bomb! Then she BOOTS Lash! And GERMAN SUPLEXES! The fans fire up while Lash flounders up. Zaria runs up, but Lash hurdles!

Zaria hotshots off ropes, Lash grabs her by the neck! SLAM DUNK CHOKE SLAM! Cover, TWO!?! Zaria survives, Jakara is frustrated, but the fans know “This is Awesome!” Lash hauls Zaria up, gets her in the Bow ‘n’ Arrow Rack, LASH EX- NO, Zaria lands out to fireman’s carry! DELTA- NO, Lash slips free, shoves, but Zaria dodges the boot! SPEAR!! Zaria fireman’s carries again, DELTA FORCE! Cover, Zaria wins!

Winner: Zaria, by pinfall (advances to Stand & Deliver)

It was a clash of titans, but Zaria just hit the jackpot! Will Zaria now rise above and claim the Women’s North American Championship for her own?

 

Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura watch backstage.

They’re both impressed by that match, and Zaria moving on to Stand & Deliver, that’s Inamura’s dream. Briggs says they’ll get there, he promises. Wes Lee walks in with Tyriek Igwe & Tyson Dupont, and they all mock Briggs, “We’re gonna get there!” Lower your expectations. Take it from someone who’s actually won at Stand & Deliver. Briggs asks Wes who he thinks he is talking to, and Wes says he’s talking to them! Wes literally broke his back carrying this brand, so he’ll talk to whoever however he wants. Briggs says Wes ain’t tough! Inamura steps up and says he used to like how Wes Lee wrestled.

Wes doesn’t get what Inamura’s talking about. Inamura says Wes used to have honor. But tonight, Wes and Inamura will fight. Wes says he has honor. He’ll honor that request. But just like those Stand & Deliver pipe dreams, Inamura needs to prepare for disappointment. The Wes Side heads out, will the Cardiac Kid learn what it is to feel the Great Rush?

 

Kelani Jordan speaks with Ava.

Kelani says history will repeat itself in Las Vegas. She climbed to the top of that ladder to become the inaugural champion, and she plans on doing it again. This is actually perfect- Roxanne Perez interrupts and says this is perfect for her. Wait, Roxie agrees? Yes! Absolutely! At Stand & Deliver, when Roxie is on top of the ladder and brings down that title, she’ll be the first woman to have won everything in NXT. Kelani says yeah, we get it, Roxie. You’re great. But over Kelani’s dead body will she be another stepping stone in the story book of Roxie. Roxie had her shine, and Kelani doesn’t care how she does it, she’ll get hers.

It doesn’t matter if Kelani has to take it from Roxie, but that’ll make it even better. Wow! Kelani finally grew a spine. But guess what? “The Prodigy” and “History maker” are synonymous here, so even with that new attitude, Kelani- Ava says no, it’s only going to be one of them in that ladder match, as they’re facing each other in tonight’s second qualifier. Well, that’s even more perfect! Roxie heads out, but will The Prodigy be one step closer to completing NXT Bingo? Or will The Standout stand tall over the most accomplished woman in NXT history?

 

The D’Angelo Family meets.

They all sit at the table, and The Don asks what they have for him. Luca Crusifino says first up: Dion Lennox. A bit of a puzzle. 6’2″, 248 pounds, came into NXT as a bookworm, but that was just to fool everyone. He was also a former linebacker for Oregon State University, a three-time team captain. And apparently, a snake. Yes, but he’s also got a mouth. Luca was talking with Dion’s former teammates, and turns out he has a temper. Dion even broke a teammate’s jaw for missing a formation. But Dion also has brains, as he has multiple college degrees specializing in psychology. A manipulator who’s also explosive. A powerful combination.

Tony says, “Bookworm Clark Kent my ass.” Luca says it’s clearly how Dion got Dark State together. Who’s next? Osiris Griffin. 6’3″, 280 pounds, former All ACC Defensive Lineman out of Syracuse. 150 tackles in 60 games played, and broke his own QB’s ribs in the Spring Training game. Brash, but not dumb. His high school coach told Luca that Osiris has great instincts for his opponent’s next move. Well, he’s the thinker of the group. But they can tire him out. Next is Cutler James. Adriana Rizzo found he’s a high-level wrestler out of Duke. Tony knew he didn’t like this kid.

But he’s an academic All American with a limitless gas tank. This guy likes breaking his opponent’s will and body. Cutler did Spartan Races, carrying logs on his back running through the mud. Tony gets it, he’s seen that stuff. Swim through ice water, walk on fire. Like a wannabe John Wick or something. Lastly, Stacks has Saquon Shugars. The wild card. A real slick city kid from DC. Wrestled in high school but got his degree from the streets. But that’s not cuz he’s a dummy, he turned down a scholarship to Harvard. Why? Not sure, but Stacks used a lot of connections and favors for this one. The word is, people follow him, they listen.

Out of fear? No, he’s a charmer. He gets people to feel like they’re his best friend since they were in diapers. When he’s done with ’em, he dips and moves on. Then this isn’t just a bunch of meatballs wanting TV time. These are some serious badasses. But here’s what they’ll do. Take the fight to them. Fire with fire! Tony enjoys the enthusiasm, but- Stacks says no, T, they dangerous! Tony says Stacks is letting his temper talk for him. They all want at these guys. But the last time Stacks put together a plan, it didn’t work out so well. So Stacks needs to trust Tony like Tony’s trusted Stacks. Can Stacks trust Tony? Stacks says yeah.

Good. Now, Tony will review all this, and he appreciates the work. Keep it up. The Family heads out, but Stacks still seems worried. Will the Underboss just have to trust the process? Or will Dark State get the better of them again?

 

Hank ‘n’ Tank talk.

They aren’t really sure this is the change they need to succeed… Zoom out, and they’re wearing Pretty Deadly style crop tops! Kit Wilson & Elton Prince say of course this will work! Look at them! As former NXT and NXT UK Tag Team Champions, Pretty Deadly know what it takes. To be stars, you gotta look like stars! Because the stars are bright, they shine! #YesBoy! Hank ‘n’ Tank do the Scott Hall fingers like Pretty Deadly, and Elton says if you want to be “The Team,” you need to BE the team! Just like how you can’t just say “Honk Honk,” you gotta FEEL the Honk Honk! That’s tag team wrestling! FEEL IT! FEEL IT!

Hank does feel something. Does Tank feel it? No Quarter Catch Crew walks by to see this, and Tavion Heights says he feels Hank ‘n’ Tank are about to get their asses kicked. Myles Borne adds, “Again.” NQCC heads out, Hank ‘n’ Tank throw the crop tops off. Elton says you can lead a horse to water but can’t make it drink. Pretty Deadly is still confident in Hank ‘n’ Tank, but will the big belly boys go the distance with Myles & Heights?

 

The Culling speaks.

Niko Vance says, “Anger, rage, aggression. To much of the world, those are glaring negatives. But not to you. You were the first to see that it was a strength of mine.” Brooks Jensen says, “Finding true purpose and meaning in life, you gave me the roadmap to my new life. So now, you gotta retrace your steps and find victory tonight.” Izzi Dame says, “You brought us all together, and look at us now. We’re a family. Four equal legs of a chair, but it’s all in support of you and your efforts tonight as North American Champion, representing The Culling.”

Shawn Spears says, “I’d like to use the cliche of how much I truly admire each and every one of you and your unique skillsets, but you’re all aware of how much I cherish you all. Tonight, those skills and those traits that I’ve passed along to you, that we’ve passed along to each other, I’ll use to vanquish Ricky Saints.” The Chair Man is ready for the main event, but will he be ready for the Absolute Revolution?

 

Hank ‘n’ Tank VS Myles Borne & Tavion Heights w/ No Quarter Catch Crew!

The pursuit for tag team greatness continues, but perhaps Walker & Ledger are trying a little too hard? Will they figure out what works for them? Or will they get no quarter from Myles & Heights tonight?

The teams sort out, Tank and Myles start, and the fans rally up. They circle, tie up, and Myles headlocks. Tank powers up and out, RAMS shoulders with Myles, and the fans cheer. Myles shoots in, waistlocks then headlocks, then wrenches and YANK the arm. Tag to Heights, Myles whips Tank to ropes then drop toeholds him, with Heights right on Tank for a headlock! The fans cheer that quick combo, but Tank endures the hold. Tank fights up, pries the hold open, but Tavion fires a body shot. Tavion whips Tank to a corner, but Tank goes up and over to CROSSBODY! Tank bumps Tavion off buckles, tags Hank, and the fans rally.

Hank ‘n’ Tank whip, doubloe kick, and DOUBLE AX HANDLE! Then they stomp the hands, “Yes Boy~!” Myles runs up but Hank CLOBBERS him! “Yes Boy~!” Hank ‘n’ Tank then run, SPLASH LEG DROP COMBO! The fans fire up, Hank dodges Tavion to then LARIAT in the corner! Hank runs side to side, tags Tank, then back body blocks Tavion! Snapmare and HONK HONK, BIG BELLY SANDWICH! Cover, TWO! Tank clamps onto Tavion with a facelock, Hank tags in, and Hank goes up to AX HANDLE the arm! Hank brings Tavion around, whips, but Tavion reverses. Hank ducks the lariat, Myles tags in, but Tavion swings agian!

Hank dodges, then he DUMPS Tavion out! Tavion holds onto the bottom rope, Myles LARIATS Hank up and out! Tank protests, the ref keeps him back, but that lets Tavion beat up on Hank! Tavion SMACKS Hank off the apron, puts him in for Myles, and Myles UPPERCUTS! Myles CLUBS Hank, UPPERCUTS again, then tags Tavion. They whip Hank to then LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Hank stays in this, but Tavion stays on him. Tavion drags Hank up, whips, and LARIATS Hank against the ropes! Tavion says one more time, and he whips Hank again. LARIAT on the ropes, Tavion covers, TWO! The fans rally while Tavion clamps on with a chinlock.

Hank endures, fights up, and the fans rally again. Hank fires body shots, reaches out, but Tavion rolls Hank! TWO, and Hank dodges! Hot tag to Tank! Tank rallies on Tavion, BLASTS Myles, and LARIATS Tavion! LARIAT again and Tank fires up! The fans are with Tank, he dodges Tavion to SNAP BELLY2BELLY! Tank dodges Myles to go up, out, and ROCK him! Then he LARIATS Myles into the ring! The fans fire up as Tank fires up, slingshot SPALSH! Tavion runs up, Tank dodges to go up, up and FLYING SHOULDER TACKLE! The fans fire up, Tank drags Tavion up for a FISHERMN SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Myles breaks it!

The fans are torn, but here comes Hank! Hank ROCKS Myles with haymaker after haymaker! Hank TOSSES Myles out, then says, “Yes Boy~!” with Tank! Tank hauls Tavion up, Hank runs, but Myles is back! DROPKICK! Hank falls out of the ring, Tavion fireman’s carries Tank! Tag to Myles, and they hit the DEATH VALLEY DDT! Cover, NQCC wins!

Winners: Myles Borne & Tavion Heights, by pinfall

Hank ‘n’ Tank had this, until they tried to do things like another team. Will they ever sort out what their style is? Will NQCC grab the NXT Tag Team Championships before they do?

 

Trick Williams heads to the ring!

The fans chant “Whoop Dat Trick!” while Booker T adds his usual commentary, “Aw yeah, man~!” Trick goes right to the ring, he grabs the mic, and Trick says let’s be clear. Last week, he called Oba out, and he ain’t heard from Oba since. But Oba, don’t get it twisted. Even if you are NXT Champion, Trick is still the man! Trick’s been the man ever since he decided to be his own man. Trick fought for this! Trick sacrificed for this! And he lost a brother for this. Trick did all that just to make this to the Whoop Dat Era! Trick did all that just to make this the Trick Williams Show. This may be on CW, but don’t get it twisted, tonight you tune into the TW! Oba, Trick IS HIM!

The fans cheer for that, and Trick says all this comes at a cost. Trick feels all the hate. Y’all don’t want him to shine? Y’all don’t want him to be the dawg? Y’all don’t want him to return to the top? He gets it now. But wait! Je’Von Evans is here! And the Young OG tells Trick no no no. Trick says don’t come out here interrupting. Trick gets why Je’Von is upset and all, but hey. That is just collateral damage. This is Stand & Deliver Season, it is time for the grown folks to talk. Je’Von says he ain’t gonna lie, he was trippin’ about what Trick did last week. But then Je’Von finally realized something. Je’Von truly understands Trick now.

Je’Von wants to ask Trick a question: When did Trick know it was his time? Sounds familiar, right? Je’Von gets it, because this time last year, Trick was Je’Von. When Trick Willy wanted the title, he became NXT’s golden child. That sounds familiar, too, don’t it? Yeah? And just like Trick, Je’Von wants that number one spot. But the difference between them is… Je’Von doesn’t need to break out of someone’s shadow to get to that spot. Je’Von’s ready right now. Trick says the crazy thing is, Je’Von is in Trick’s shadow right now! What does Je’Von know about being champion, dawg? About selling tickets? Doing media? Having the brand on your back? Je’Von can’t relate!

What does Je’Von know about being The A Champion? Winning a title is great, but carrying the title and defending the title, those are a whole ‘nother ball game. And Je’Von can’t hold that title like Trick can! Trick is one of one, believe that! Oh, one of one? Hmm… Trick says he’s The A Champion? Hmm… “Trick, you don’t know who the hell you is, do you? Bruh, you ain’t Trick Williams. You Carmelo Hayes.” UH OH! Je’Von says yeah, he went there. And it makes sense. Because everything that Trick is telling Je’Von right now, was everything Melo was telling Trick a year ago. And if you ask Je’Von, that makes Trick a hypocrite!

So if Trick is gonna try and water Je’Von down just to make himself feel better, since he wants to talk about it, Je’Von has done something that no one has done, including Trick. That’s drop Oba Femi! But wait! Here comes Oba now! Oba tells Je’Von to do a favor and say that nonsense to his face! Je’Von really thinks he did something that matters? Oh, congratulations, you got a lucky shot! Never again! Je’Von says stop playing like he ain’t got your number. Did anyone forget about Deadline? Cuz at Deadline, if we’re checking history, Je’Von only needed one more second to change history. Only one more second.

And then Oba wouldn’t have beat Trick for the title, cuz Je’Von would’ve had it. As a matter of fact, Je’Von will drop Oba again to become NXT Champion in Vegas! Trick says better luck next year, kid. Oba tells Trick that he’s talked enough! The champion is here, it is his turn to speak. As for Je’Von, when Oba looks at him, all Oba sees is a small boy with big aspirations and dreams. And while he might be the future, Je’Von’s success will not be at the expense of The Ruler at Stand & Deliver. Because whether Je’Von likes it or not, he lives in the present! He lives in the now, and the now belongs to OBA FEMI.

Trick says yeah, that’s what he’s talking ’bout. Stand & Deliver Season, NXT Championship, Oba VS Trick. And for the last time, Je’Von, please excuse yourself. Je’Von steps up and asks, “Or what?” But Oba holds Je’Von back with one hand and tells Trick that if Trick spent less time talking, maybe he’d still be champion. But he’s not. And clearly, both men want their shot at the championship… Wait! Ava is here to say she’s seen this before. There is only one way that this will end. Stand & Deliver, Oba will defend the NXT Championship against Trick Williams… AND Je’Von Evans in a Triple Threat! Je’Von likes that! But then Trick DECKS him!

Oba turns Trick around to ROCK him with haymakers! These two brawl, Oba LARIATS Trick up and out! Oba is fired up, but OH NO! DARK STATE IS HERE! Osiris, Saquon, Cutler & Dion storm down from the bleachers, and they mug Oba 4v1! Je’Von gets up, but he just gets added to the hit list! CATAPUT DOUBLE BACKDROP for the Young OG! And a BOOT from Osiris to Oba! Trick storms into the ring, and he looks at all four goons. Trick fires hands but he gets mugged 4v1! They stand Trick up, and hit him with the QUAD BOMB!! Dark State strikes, #NoOneIsSafe!

 

Andre Chase visits NXT Medical.

Mr. Chase says he can’t take any deep breaths, has a limited range of motion, and the doc says Chase clearly suffered a cracked rib in the match with Ethan Page. And he knows Chase wants a timeline on his return, but there’s no telling with cracked ribs. Does Chase have a ride home? Chase says he’s all alone. But then Kale Dixon & Uriah Connors walk in. They tell him he’s not alone. They’ve got him! They even brought a wheelchair. Chase appreciates that and accepts the help. Chase says they’re not so bad after all. But then look out, there’s chaos going on! Jaida and Jordynne are brawling through the back!

Jaida RAMS Jordynne into the garage door, the refs tell her to back off and Jaida says okay, she’s good. But then Jaida runs up! Jordynne dodges, the Hip-Notic hits the door! Jordynne jumps on for a SLEEPER! More refs hurry over, these two are pulled apart, but will they not stop until one of them stays down?

 

Fraxiom cross paths with Hank ‘n’ Tank.

Nathan Frazer tells them that whatever they had going for them, they clearly lost it. Axiom asks Frazer why he’s so rude. Frazer says c’mon, they can’t lie to them. Well, okay, but at least be supportive. What’s not supportive about telling them the truth? And the truth is, they’re just embarrassing themselves. Axiom says fine, here’s some truth. While Fraxiom may have the tag titles, Axiom does wish they had a friendship more like Hank ‘n’ Tank. Frazer says wow, okay. Hank ‘n’ Tank say “thanks” for the pep talk, then they move on. And then in step Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes, aka Swipe Right.

Brad says he knows they haven’t met, but they make proper introductions. And the deal is, they’re kinda the hottest new thing via WWE Evolve. And when they look at Fraxiom, they see them as their Hardy Boyz. See, Swipe Right runs Evolve, Fraxiom runs NXT, so Swipe Right just wants to see how they measure up. #Hundos! Frazer says he and his amigo don’t back down from a challenge, so you’re on. Nice! And Fraxiom must crush it with the ladies with those accents, right? Oh, speaking of ladies, Roxie passes by. Brad says there is a lot of “talent” here. Roxie may be a Prodigy, but she’s also a smoke show. Ricky says that’s hundo for sho’, bro bro.

Swipe Right tells Fraxiom, “See you next week.” Brad & Ricky head out, but are they really ready to evolve into NXT stars so soon? Or will Frazer & Axiom show them that they need a little more time to level up?

 

NXT Women’s North American Championship Ladder Match Qualifier: Kelani Jordan VS Roxanne Perez!

The inaugural NXT Women’s North American Champion battles the most accomplished woman in NXT history, and this alone could be the title match. But only one moves on, so who leaves the other behind to Stand & Deliver?

The bell rings, the two tie up, and they go around. Kelani pushes Roxie back but Roxie puts her in the corner. Roxie goes up the corner, the ref counts, but Roxie lets off the collar ‘n’ elbow. But Kelani shoves Roxie down! Roxie comes back, Kelani wrenches and headlocks to hit a takeover. Roxie headscissors and pushes up for pressure, only for Kelani to headscissor back! Roxie headscissors again, but then so does Kelani! Roxie moves around, jackknife bridges, TWO as Kelani bridges up! Kelani turns things around, but Roxie trips Kelani up! Cover, ONE, and Kelani sweeps! Cover, ONE, and Roxie kips up!

Kelani kips up smooth, the fans fire up, and Roxie is annoyed. The two reset, but NXT goes to break.

NXT returns and the fans duel. Roxie headlocks Kelani, but Kelani powers up and out. Roxie throws Kelani down by her hair! The fans are torn, Roxie runs, but Kelani does the splits! Roxie cartwheels over and then takes a bow. Kelani is annoyed, and she blocks the haymaker to trap an arm! Kelani then slaps the other arm, and she SLAPS Roxie! The fans fire up, Kelani runs up and SLINGSHOT ARM-DRAGS! Roxie tumbles, Kelani DROPKICKS her to a corner! Kelani has Roxie on the apron, then in the ropes for a KNEE SMASH, and a POMMEL LEG DROP! Cover, TWO! Roxie stays in this and Kelani grows frustrated.

Kelani stalks Roxie to ropes, drags her back in, but Roxie has the apron skirt! The ref counts, Roxie lets go, and while the ref is busy with the apron skirt, Roxie CLAWS Kelani’s eyes! The fans are torn, but Roxie then POSTS Kelani! Kelani flops to the apron, Roxie goes out the other side, and she has Kelani through the corner! Roxie stands on the arm, then DOUBLE STOMPS it!! Kelani writhes but this is the way Roxie beat Jordynne Grace, so why not do it to Kelani? Roxie drops KNEES on the bad arm, the fans duel more, and Kelani crawls to ropes. Roxie stomps and kicks away, but the ref counts. Roxie stops at 4 to then stand on Kelani!

The ref counts again, Roxie steps off, and then JUMP STOMPS! Cover, TWO! Kelani stays in this but Roxie is almost amused. Roxie goes after Kelani in the corner, and wraps the bad arm around ropes! Roxie pulls and YANKS on the arm, then soaks up the cheers and jeers. Roxie drags Kelani up, hammerlocks the arm, and she RAMS Kelani into buckles! The fans duel while Kelani flounders, but Roxie hammerlocks the arm again. Roxie whips, Kelani reverses and sends Roxie into buckles! Kelani reels Roxie into a cradle, TWO! Roxie runs up, goes for the arm, but then waistlocks. Kelani switches, O’Conner Rolls, TWO!

Kelani is sent into buckles again! Roxie storms up on Kelani, grabs the arm, and shoves Kelani down so she can stand on the shoulder! Kelani endures, but Roxie turns her over to KNEE- NO, Kelani avoids the knee drop! Roxie hobbles, and Kelani fires body shots! Kelani ROCKS Roxie, ROCKS her again, then ROCKS her again! Kelani whips, Roxie reverses and UPPERCUTS the bad arm! Roxie wrenches and KNEES the bad arm! Then she hammerlocks the arm, and NORTHERN LIGHTS! Kelani writhes, Roxie covers, TWO! Kelani toughs it out and Roxie seethes, but NXT goes picture in picture.

Roxie stalks Kelani, drags her up, and SMACKS her off the mat! Roxie CLUBS the bad arm, then kneels on the shoulder to pull on it! Kelani endures, so Roxie YANKS back on the arm! Cover, TWO!! Kelani is still in this, but Roxie stays on her with a chicken wing armlock! Kelani endures, fights around, but Roxie slips around to hammerlock. Kelani reaches back to FLYING-MARE! Roxie tumbles into a corner, Kelani runs in, but Roxie puts her on the apron! Roxie then HOTSHOTS the bad arm! Kelani slumps down on the apron, but Roxie drags her back through the corner. Roxie stands on Kelani’s hand, but Kelani TRIPS Roxie!

Kelani crawls away, Roxie pursues, but Kelani ROCKS Roxie! Roxie ROCKS Kelani! Kelani ROCKS Roxie again! Roxie ROCKS Kelani again! The forearms keep going, but Kelani gets the edge! Kelani whips, then CLOBBERS Roxie! And CLOBBERS her again! Cartwheel BACK ELBOW! Kelani kips up and she storms up on Roxie. Kelani reels Roxie in, but Roxie wrenches and WRINGS the arm! Then she SHOTGUNS Kelani down! Kelani flounders out of the ring, but Roxie builds speed! Roxie DIVES, and down goes Kelani at the ramp! Roxie hurries to drag Kelani up and into the ring! Roxie points to the belt and says that’s already hers.

Roxie storms up to the apron, but Kelani DROPKICKS her down again! Kelani aims, and she TORNILLO PLANCHAS! Down goes Roxie! Kelani hurries to put Roxie back in, and she gets moving, SPLASH DOWN! Roxie staggers up, into an X FACTOR! NXT returns to single picture as Kelani covers, TWO!! Roxie survives and Kelani is beside herself! Kelani hauls Roxie up, torture racks her, and the fans duel for the TOWER HACKER- ARM-DRAG from Roxie! Roxie then snatches Kelani, but Kelani fights the takedown! Kelani rolls Roxie up, TWO, and Roxie SOB- NO, Kelani blocks the kick! Step over, WHEEL KICK!

The fans rally as Kelani goes up the corner! ONE OF A KIND- FLOP!! Roxie avoids the RVD style moonsault to handspring and KNEE DROP! Roxie shouts out Meiko Satomura with that one, and she pushes Kelani to a cover, TWO! The fans fire up and Roxie is furious! Roxie tells Kelani that she is NOT on Roxie’s level! Then she SLAPS Kelani! The fans fire up as Kelani scowls. Roxie is worried, and Kelani fires off fast hands! Roxie SOBATS, runs, and hops on, but Kelani pops out the back! Roxie waistlocks, Kelani grabs ropes, and the ref counts. Kelani mule kicks Roxie’s legs! Then Kealni hits a BASEMENT DDT!

Kelani has Roxie in the drop zone! Up, up, and ONE OF A KIND! Cover, KELANI WINS!

Winner: Kelani Jordan, by pinfall (advances to Stand & Deliver)

The Standout takes down The Prodigy, but this was just the first hurdle! Will Kelani become the first-ever TWO-TIME NXT Women’s North American Champion?

 

Ava meets with Robert Stone & Stevie Turner.

The newly appointed Evolve General Manager tells the NXT General Manager that she apologizes for Swipe Right. Ever since Ava put Stevie in charge, Brad & Ricky have been nothing but a headache every Wednesday. She had no idea they were even showing up tonight. Stone says just deal with them tomorrow night then. For now, we should be talking Stand & Deliver. The Triple Threat for the NXT Championship, a Six Woman Ladder Match for the NEW Women’s North American Champion, and now Vaquer gets to choose her own opponent?! Ava says all of that is great, but her real focus right now is Dark State. We’ve all seen what they’ve done.

If they’re trying to intimidate Ava, that won’t work. They keep saying they don’t wanna wait, then fine. Six Man Tag: Any three of them can compete. But against who? Ava says it’ll be THE main event of Stand & Deliver, Oba, Trick & Je’Von. Wow, okay. That’s huge. But will Oba, Trick & Je’Von even bother working together? Or can they focus on common enemies before fighting each other?

 

Backstage interview with Ricky Saints.

Sarah Schreiber is with The Absolute, and says he already has his first ever title opportunity here in NXT against Shawn Spears. The last time we saw Ricky, Spears blindsided him in more ways than one. Ricky says c’mon, can’t she see this chiseled jaw? It’s gonna take a lot more than that to put him out. If anything, it lit a fire under him! Spears wants to talk about their history, he wants to bring up their past like Spears knows Ricky? Spears knows nothing, jack! Ricky ain’t worried about no past, only the future, and you’re looking at him! The future says that Ricky’s gonna be dripping with gold tonight!

Spears took a very long time to even taste glory! Meanwhile, Ricky is gonna do it in record time when he marries destiny! Spears and everyone else will really see that The Revolution is indeed televised, because Ricky Saints will be the NEW North American Champion tonight! Ricky heads out, and that main event is next! Will NXT be Absolute?

 

Zaria & Sol Ruca talk backstage.

Zaria feels good as being the first to qualify for Stand & Deliver, and Sol is proud of her. Zaria knows Sol didn’t become Women’s US Champion, but Zaria would love to have Sol with her at Stand & Deliver. Sol says she’ll definitely be there. Kelani walks by and asks if they saw that. She just beat one of the greatest champions in NXT history! Yeah, they saw, that was awesome. Kelani says she’s already calling her shot. She WILL be Women’s North American Champion again. Zaria says she loves the confidence and all, but not this time. Sol says it is either her or Zaria who become the NEW Women’s North American Champion.

Zaria asks what Sol means by that. Sol says her qualify is next week, didn’t Zaria hear? So they can both go to Vegas together. Kelani says nice people finish last, ain’t that right? Okay, Kelani, just stop. Kelani will not drive a wedge between #ZaRuca. Yeah, not worth her time. Kelani leaves, and Zaria thinks on that new team name Sol just came up with. She doesn’t mind it. Sol knew she’d like it. But will ZaRuca both Stand & Deliver? And what will happen in the ladder match if they do?

 

Dark State speaks.

Saquon Shugar says, “What? Y’all thought you had it figured out?! Ey, ey, Cutty, talk to they ass!” Cutler James says, “No one knows how Dark State’s gonna move, and no one knows when Dark State’s gonna strike. But there’s one thing you should know: No one is safe.” Dion Lennox shouts, “Ava, you ain’t give us no match! We forced your hand! We got the whole locker room looking over they shoulders, for US!” Osiris says, “Giving us a match against the three top dogs of NXT? That sounds like war to us. But hey, is Tony D gonna be watching?”

Saquon says The D’Angelos can do all they can to find out who Dark State is, but Dark State is real, real simple, man! Four men, one goal, and next week, they taking it all! Will these wild cards trump the Stand & Deliver main event? Or will Oba, Trick & Je’Von make sure to knock down their house of cards?

 

NXT North American Championship: Shawn Spears w/ The Culling VS Ricky Saints!

Ever since his return to NXT, The Chair Man has been about exposing painful truths and twisting them to fit his goals. But will he continue to sow seeds of discord and reap the rewards? Or will he find he can’t twist an Absolute?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the past loses to the future!

The bell rings and Spears bails right out. But Saints DIVES! Direct hit into Spears, and then Saints fires off haymakers! The Culling goes running as Saints ROCKS Spears and CHOPS him! Saints CHOPS again, then ROCKS Spears! Spears hurries into the ring, but Saints hurries to fire hands! Saints whips, but Spears grabs ropes to avoid the dropkick! Spears runs, but into Saints’ DROPKICK! The fans fire up, Saints bumps Spears off buckles, and Saints fires off fast hands! The ref counts but Saints DECKS Spears! Spears flounders out of the ring but Saints pursues. Saints is on the apron, and he leaps, but into a kick down low!

Spears reels Saints in, but Saints BACKDROPS free! The fans fire up as Saints knuckle locks, then goes up onto the barrier! Saints gives the fans some Old School up close and personal! The fans fire up as Saints then AX HANDLES Spears down! Saints gets back on the barriers to strut some more, and the fans cheer as he does his pose! Saints is feeling good while NXT goes picture in picture.

Saints drags Spears up, puts him in the ring, and tells The Culling to back off. Saints climbs, but Spears jumps up after him! SUPER OVERHEAD SUPLEX! Saints goes flying, then flounders into the far corner. Spears storms up, rains down fists, then pulls his kneepad down! Spears hoists Saints up to BACKBREAKER! Saints writhes, Spears pulls his kneepad back up, and then Spears goes outside. Saints crawls while Spears repositions the steel steps. Spears then storms back in and TOSSES Saints out! The ref reprimands but Spears goes out to stands Saints up. Saints ROCKS Spears! And ROCKS him again!

Saints whips, Spears reverses, but Saints hops up and over the steps! Then he comes back and leaps off the steps, only for Spears to SUPERKICK him down! Saints flops back, but Spears drags him up and brings him to the steps. BACKBREAKEAR on the steel steps! The ref reprimands but the damage is done! Saints flops to the floor while Spears mocks the pose. Spears then hobbles over to bring Saints back up. Spears puts Saints in the ring, covers, TWO! Saints is tougher than that, but Spears stays calm. Spears drags Saints up and ROCKS him in the lower back! Spears stalks Saints, drags him back up, and ROCKS him again!

NXT returns to single picture, and Spears has Saints up again. But Saints fires a body shot! And a CHOP! And a CHOP! Saints whips, Spears reverses, and Saints hits buckles hard! Saints slumps down but Spears is right on him! Spears rains down fists, then lets off to soak up the heat. The Culling taunt Saints, and Spears scoops for a SLAM! The fans boo while Spears steps back outside. Spears climbs up the corner while The Culling cheers. But saints ROCKS Spears first! Spears ROCKS Saints again, then climbs up to CLUB Spears again and again! Saints brings Spears up, but Spears fires body shots!

Saints ROCKS Spears with forearm after forearm, then tries again. They go to the very top, for a SUPER DUPER JACKHAMMER!! The fans lose their minds, but Saints can’t the cover! Spears crawls away, he and Saints rise, and Spears throws a haymaker! “This is Awesome!” as Saints hits back! The two go back and forth, shot for shot, then Spears CHOPS! Saints CHOPS Spears! And CHOPS again! Saints ROCKS Spears, whips, but Spears reverses. Saints comes back to LARIAT! And LARIAT! Spears tries, Saints dodges and DROPKICKS! Spears goes to a corner, Saints runs in, ELBOW!

Spears bails out, Saints pursues, but then Spears takes a swing! Saints ducks it, and he reels Spears in for a TORNADO DDT to the floor!

The ref stops Niko, but Izzi slips Spears the title belt! Spears takes aim at Saints! BELT SHOT!! Spears throws the title away, then covers Saints, TWO?!?! Saints survives and Spears is shocked!

Winner: Ricky Saints, by pinfall (NEW NXT North American Champion)

Izzi is furious, but she has no choice but to hand over the belt! The Chair Man will now have to accept the painful truth that NXT is Absolute! The fans chant “You Deserve It!” and Ricky nods, but ETHAN PAGE ATTACKS! TWISTED GRIN!! The fans boo as All Ego ruins Ricky’s moment! Ethan smiles as he holds up the belt, will he be the one to Stand & Deliver?


My Thoughts:

A great NXT, and their Stand & Deliver build is clearly going down to the wire here. A little disappointing that Vaquer relinquishes the Women’s North American Championship, but she already made history be becoming the Double Champion and surviving a double header. So now, she will focus on her title, and clearly it is going to be Jordynne Grace for Stand & Deliver. Jordynne and Jaida had great stuff, they’ll have a match, and Jordynne will win to stand out as the clear choice for Vaquer, unless Giulia suddenly returns. This entire WrestleMania Weekend in Vegas is slowly becoming about Triple Threats and bigger (as it should in my opinion), so why not one for the women?

After all, we’re also getting one for the men. Oba, Trick and Je’Von had a very good promo segment, and while it of course became a brawl, Dark State jumping in on it was fitting, too. But with that, there goes my theory that maybe, just maybe, Trick was secretly in charge of Dark State. They mugged him just as bad as the others, so it’s all just the four of them doing this on their own. Good promo from The D’Angelo Family to help the audience understand who Dion, Osiris, Cutler & Saquon are, and regardless of how Dark State VS Oba, Trick & Je’Von goes, we will surely get a Six Man Tag of Dark State VS D’Angelo Family, and that will be a make or break moment for the D’Angelo Family as Stacks and Tony continue to disagree on things.

Back to the Women’s North American Championship, this coming ladder match really is the best move, as we just got some awesome stuff out of qualifiers. When the qualifiers are this great, you can bet the ladder match will be amazing. Kelani getting that win over Roxie was also the right choice, as Roxie doesn’t really need another NXT title reign, she’s basically waiting on the call up. Roxie and Bayley didn’t even get their proper 1v1 feud, that can be a thing soon, and Kelani can move up as a top Heel or something. Good promo from Kelani with Zaria & Ruca, aka ZaRuca. Not a bad team name, it’s very Fraxiom of them.

Speaking of Fraxiom, the tag division is still having a lot of fun. As I hinted at in the report, Hank ‘n’ Tank are still going about this the wrong way. They think being like some other team is the key when they got this far being themselves. And for one, Pretty Deadly is not the team a couple hosses should be mirroring. They lose, which helps NQCC stay afloat as they haven’t done much, and then Hank ‘n’ Tank have that bit with Fraxiom. Fraxiom is again dysfunctional, and perhaps they and Hank ‘n’ Tank will face off for the titles by Stand & Deliver.

I’m very surprised that Swipe Right is getting to be part of Evolve-NXT crossover so soon, but I guess that means they show the most promise. But they’re kinda overdoing the kayfabe of Evolve. Stevie was literally put in charge last week, so she’s only had to deal with Swipe Right for one week. “Every Wednesday” is just ONE Wednesday so far. But that aside, Swipe Right VS Fraxiom will be a very good match to help get Swipe Right some recognition, and perhaps bring interest over to Evolve.

Good promo from Briggs & Inamura with The Wes Side, especially with Inamura stepping up. Inamura VS Wes will be a great match, maybe we get Briggs & Inamura VS Tyriek & Tyson (which also counts as Evolve-NXT crossover now), and who knows if either team gets in on the tag titles for Stand & Deliver. Good promo from The Culling, even if this entire gimmick doesn’t quite fit right. And very good promo from Saints to lead into the main event. That was a great match, the NXT crowd clearly loves Saints, and what a great win for Saints. Sorry, Spears, you’re a transitional champion to Saints VS Page for an even bigger feud of former AEW stars.

My Score: 8.9/10

After 10 Man Tag: Bullet Club War Dogs VS House of Torture…

Sanada was about to break the rules by giving “Drilla” Moloney a Smash Hit, but David Finlay beats him to it by giving Sanada a SMACK with a cookie sheet! The referee rules this a No Contest because of all the madness! The Rebel doesn’t care, he tells his guys to fetch something! Gedo gets him a TABLE! Evil is furious but Finlay puts the table in a corner. Finlay reels Sanada in, but Evil CLOBBERS Finlay! The House regroups and Dick Togo CHOKES Finlay! Yujiro hits him with the PIMP CANE! Then then Drilla and the boys come back with weapons of their own! The House retreats so Finlay grabs a mic!

“Hey, hey, hey, hey! Where do you House of Torture p*ssies think you’re effing going?! Evil, if I understood you correctly, you want us to up the stakes of the Dog Pound Steel Cage match! You want me to put it all on the line! You wanna make it… Loser Leaves Bullet Club!” The fans are fired up to hear that! Finlay says as the one true leader, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! Then Evil CHUCKS the guitar case at Evil! And then he CHUCKS the table! The War Dogs want to keep fighting, but The House got what they wanted, so they take their leave for now. Saturday May 3rd, who will truly be THE Bullet Club?

 

NJPW World Television Championship: Great-O-Khan VS El Phantasmo w/ Jado!

After he and Callum Newman won the vacated IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Championships, The Dominator is now a DOUBLE CHAMPION! But the Headbanga is looking to change that in 15 minutes or less! Will this once again be The ELP Show? Or will Khan continue to conquer NJPW World?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who’s really the star of the show!

The bell rings and the fans rally already. Khan and ELP circle, Khan gets a leg takedown and cover, ONE! ELP and Khan clinch, Khan pushes ELP down but ELP moves around. Khan waistlocks to bridging cover, TWO! Khan backs up to pose with arms behind his back and the fans cheer. ELP stands, Khan eggs him on, so ELP ROCKS Khan with a forearm! Khan shakes that off, comes back, and he ROCKS ELP! The fans rally as the forearms keep going back and forth! They go faster and faster, and then Khan ROCKS ELP again and again! Then MONGOLIAN CHOP! But ELP RAMS down low! ELP pumps up but Khan grabs his hair!

The ref counts, Khan lets go, but ELP has the PURPLE NURPLES! The fans fire up but uh, is Khan enjoying it? ELP stops and Khan swivels his hips! ELP kicks low, TOSSES Khan out, and then takes aim. The fans rally up, ELP PLANCHAS, but Khan dodges! Khan then kicks ELP, scoops and SLAMS him on the apron! ELP writhes and the fans rally up. Khan cools himself off and then pushes ELP into the ring. Khan drags ELP into a BOW ‘N’ ARROW! The fans rally while ELP endures, and ELP fights around to the ROPEBREA!K The fans cheer while Khan lets go, but then Khan stands ELP up, just to hit a fireman’s carry takedown!

Khan stands ELP up again, for a MONKEY FLIP! Khan drags ELP up for a SAYANAGI! Cover, TWO! ELP stays in this and the fans rally. Khan stays on ELP with the MONGOLIAN CHOPS! ELP falls, Jado coaches him up, and ELP rises again. But the MONGOLIAN CHOPS knock him back down! ELP rises again, MONGOLIAN feint and an UPPERCUT! ELP ends up in a corner, the fans rally behind Khan, and Khan hops up to sit on his throne! The ref reprimands but the fans cheer. The ref counts so Khan hops down and brings ELP out. ELP CHOPS, Khan eggs him on, so ELP CHOPS again! And again! And again!

ELP CHOPS and CHOPS and whips, but Khan reverses. ELP ducks ‘n’ dodges and rolls off Khan’s back to RANA! Khan tumbles, ELP handsprings up, and ELP LARIATS Khan up and out! The fans fire up and ELP aims again, PLANCHA! Direct hit this time and down goes Khan! The fans fire up, and ELP slides into the ring. ELP builds speed and DIVES! Khan hits railing and both men are down at the five minute mark! ELP raises his finger to say one more time, and the fans rally again. ELP rises up, climbs the corner, and from the very top, ARIHARA MOONSAULT! Down goes Khan again! The fans fire up as ELP rises again!

ELP keeps the crowd going and he drags Khan into the ring. ELP then climbs the ropes to SWANTON BOMB, and LIONSAULT! Cover, TWO! Khan survives the combo but ELP keeps his cool. The fans rally up again, and ELP reels Khan in. But Khan shifts to grab the leg! ELP fights free, Khan waistlocks, and Khan GERMAN SUPLEXES! ELP goes flying and the fans fire up again! Both men stir, and Khan rises to his feet. Khan drags ELP up, clinches, HITSUJIGOROSHI! ELP endures, so Khan shifts to FLATLINER! And then a roll into the IRON CLAW! And from there, ELIMIN- NO, ELP fights free and CHOPS!

ELP runs, dodges, and springboards, but into the IRON CLAW! ELIMIN- NO, ELP flips through! ELP then ducks ‘n’ dodges, goes up and leaps, but into an IRON RIGHT! Then the IRON CLAW, for an ELIMINATOR!! Cover, ROPEBREAK!! ELP’s long leg saves him and Khan is stunned! The fans fire up but Khan shoves ELP to the outside. Khan then goes out and he looks under the ring. ELP sputters while Khan brings out some chairs! Khan sets them both down, flat on the floor. The ref reprimands but Khan vows he’s gonna end this! ELP is deadweight, but Khan drags him up and reels him in! POWER- DDT COUNTER!!

Both men fall on the chairs and the fans fire back up! ELP and Khan writhe, and ELP crawls to the railing. ELP sits up but flops over as the ring count starts. ELP stands again at 9 of 20, leaves Khan behind, and Khan is still down at 13! The fans rally, Khan grits his teeth to sit up, but we’re at 17! 18! Khan springs in at 19! ELP is on him and tucks the arm! C R 2!! Cover, TWO!??! Khan survives and the fans fire up! ELP is frustrated, but Jado coaches him back up. We’re at 10 minutes as ELP tunes up in the corner.

Then he goes back out, back up, THUNDERKISS 86!! Cover, ELP WINS!!!

Winner: El Phantasmo, by pinfall (NEW NJPW World Television Champion)

The Headbanga certainly banged Khan’s head with all those kicks! And now, ELP is a TWO-TIME NJPW World Television Champion! No more double reign for Khan, will this be a bad omen for the Empire?

ELP waits for Khan to exit before getting the mic. ELP tells Saga, “Arigato gozaimashita.” The fans cheer, and ELP says, “I have one thing that I want to say tonight: Takeshita-chan. I don’t wanna wait until Resurgence. Fukuoka, Dontaku, you are my first challenger, Konosuke Takeshita! And then, Resurgence, we do it for your title, the NEVER title! And you will never beat me again!” Jado translates that The Headbanga is aiming at the Alpha, though he kinda keeps it simple. Will ELP make himself a Double Champion? Or will Takeshita take this title for the Don Callis Family?

 

IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championships: Robbie Eagles & Kosei Fujita VS YOH & Master Wato!

The Ichiban Sweet Boys fought hard to get these belts, and they’ve fought hard to keep these belts. But with the Best of the Super Juniors around the corner, can The Sniper of the Skies & The Japanese Young Punk stay strong? Or will Direct Drive & Way of the Grand Master find a way to make The Mighty kneel?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who tastes sweet victory!

The teams sort out and Wato starts against Eagles. The fans rally up with the bell, and Eagles encourages them to get louder. Eagles and Wato circle, with Wato getting a strong response from the fans. The fans duel and Eagles nods. Eagles and Wato feel things out, knuckle lock, then Eagles kicks one apart. Eagles wrenches, wrenches, then hammerlock, but then Eagles pushes Wato away. Eagles and Wato reset, tie up again, and Wato headlocks. Eagles powers up and out, but Wato runs him over!

Fujita survives the string of attacks but Yoh brings him back up. Yoh kicks Fujita, CHOPS him, then CHOPS again! Yoh wrenches and whips Fujita, but Fujita reverses to sweep the legs! Eagles runs in and KICKS Yoh in the side! Fujita somersault SENTONS, then Eagles basement DROPKICKS! Wato runs in, but he gets DOUBLE ELBOWS, then the Sweet Boys split the wishbone before DOUBLE PENALTY KICKS! The fans fire up while Fujita goes back to Yoh.

Fujita stands Yoh up to CHOP, then CHOP again! Yoh goes to an open corner but Fujita stomps and CHOPS, CHOPS, CHOPS! The fans rally up while Yoh sits down in the corner. Fujita stands Yoh up, wrenches and whips him into the corner. Tag to Eagles and he brings Yoh around. Eagles pulls Yoh’s hair to get him into a Camel Clutch while also starting up a “ROBBIE ROBBIE ROBBIE!” “OI OI OI!” “ROBBIE ROBBIE ROBBIE!” “OI OI OI!” “ROBBIE!” “OI!” “ROBBIE!” “OI!” “ROBBIE ROBBIE ROBBIE!” “OI OI OI!” Eagles slaps Yoh around to the rhythm, then scuffs him. Yoh goes to the ropes but he eggs Eagles on.

Eagles eggs Yoh on, so Yoh stands and fires forearms! Eagles CHOPS Yoh down, then stands him up to whip to a corner. DOUBLE KNEES and Yoh sits down! Eagles runs back in, METEORA! Cover, TWO!

Will they use this massive moment as momentum going into BOSJ 32? Will Eagles & Fujita use that same tournament to rise back up?

 

IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship: El Desperado VS Templario!

The Rogue Luchador is the 2024 Best of the Super Junior winner, finally having his name down in the history books. But he has also been an IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion many times, so he knows how to carry this weight. But the Lion Warrior has been a CMLL World Middleweight and Mexican National Middleweight Champion, so he is no stranger to gold. We saw new Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champions crowned, will we see the same happen here? Or will Desperado prove he is still the Best of the Super Juniors?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who enters the tournament as the number one seed!

The bell rings and the fans rally. Despy offers a handshake, Templario takes it, and the fans applaud the sportsmanship. Despy and Temp circle, tie up, and then break. Then they tie up, and Temp puts Despy on the ropes. Red Shoes counts the break, Temp lets go and pats Despy on the shoulders before he rolls back. The fans applaud and so does Despy as he resets with Temp. They circle again, feel things out, and Despy facelocks to then waistlock. Temp wrenches free to hammerlock, but Despy reaches back to headlock. Temp wrenches free of that, and he wrangles Despy with a top wristlock.

Despy CHOPS, Temp CHOPS, repeat! They CHOP, CHOP, CHOP, fast ‘n’ furious, then Temp ROCKS Despy with a forearm! Despy is frustrated but the fans fire up with him. Despy comes back and he CHOPS!

The fans rally for Despy while Temp throws up the crown. Temp drags Despy up and into the ring, then he stands on the bad arm! Despy grabs at Temp but Temp STOMPS the arm! And SPLASHES it!

Despy puts Temp in the ring, but Temp gets back on the apron.

Winner: El Desperado, by pinfall (still IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion)

Templario proved he is a warrior with the heart of a lion, but it just wasn’t enough to take down the Rogue Luchador! Will the BOSJ be his way back to the title?

As for Despy, he grabs the mic to say, “There’re this many people in Saga? It’s a nice building, but I didn’t think there’d be enough people to fill it.” The fans laugh and Despy tells Templario,” Amigo, thanks for coming. I’ve very pleased to have faced you. Do you nkow about this? The rookies here are called ‘Young Lions.’ A rookie lion. You’re the Lion Warrior, aren’t you? The lion is the mark of NJPW. You’ve got the same symbol. I think I’ve found a good friend. Do you agree? Muchas gracias.” The fans applaud and Temp nods in agreement. Despy asks if Temp has something to say, and then hands him the mic.

The fans applaud, and Templario says, “I’ve dreamt of this day for years. I came a long way for this. I’m so grateful to NJPW. You’ll forever be in my heart. I’ll return anytime you’d have me. Japan is a home for me now. Thank you.” The fans applaud, and Despy shakes Temp’s hand. Temp takes a bow and then leaves with the United Empire. Despy takes the mic again and translates for the fans. That is how special NJPW is to the world! The fans applaud that, and Despy says it is great to see people work their asses off to be here. Despy is also glad so many traveled to little Saga just to fill the arena. The fans again laugh at being such a small town.

Despy says if he’ll stop, it’ll go dark and someone will call him out. Can he finish with no interruptions? Well, Despy is again grateful to have faced such a great wrestler in such a venue, and also… This is the last time he’ll see Naito & Bushi in the ring, huh? Well, anybody who’s a fan will know we’ll see them again down the road. The fans applaud that. “Hasta la vista, amigos! Gracias!” The fans applaud, and now Despy heads into the tournament as the one to beat! Streamers fly, but will Despy still be the Best of the Super Juniors in 2025?


My Thoughts:

Another great “detour” on this Road to Wrestling Dontaku, just like Wrestling Redzone a few days ago. Good stuff in the tune-ups, and I like that War Dogs VS House of Torture ups the ante. But if it comes down to “Winners are THE Bullet Club,” I feel like the War Dogs have to win. The House of Torture could’ve and should’ve just been a faction all their own at some point before this, so this can be their out. Plus, the War Dogs are great Tweeners that the fans certainly accept as the Faces in this story, they should win to be undefeated in their own signature “Dog Pound” match.

Great title matches here, and I’m a little surprised that ELP won the NJPW World TV Championship back. But at the same time, Khan already checked off the accomplishment of being a double champion, and I suppose it’d be too American pro-wrestling to make Khan do double headers on a show. Khan can focus on the tag titles, ELP can face all sorts of people with the TV title, it’s just best for NJPW business. The Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship match was awesome, and I’m rather surprised Yoh & Wato won. Great for them, as Wato hasn’t had a lot on his list of accomplishments, so a second tag title run is a nice addition.

And of course, awesome main event from Despy and Templario. Despy winning makes sense, though, he’s going to attempt a back-to-back BOSJ tournament win, and having the title with him also adds some drama to every match he’ll have. Everyone always puts up their best against the champ in hopes of getting some golden tickets, and Despy definitely likes being the guy with the target on his back.

My Score: 9/10

Mitchell’s WWE NXT Results & Report! (4/29/25)

Look who’s back!

Published

on

Say his name and he appears…?

Joe Hendry showed up Trick Williams last week, so Trick Williams showed up in TNA! Will Joe Hendry return to NXT and Whoop Dat Trick?

OFFICIAL RESULTS

  • NXT North American Championship: Ricky Saints VS Lexis King; Saints wins and retains the title.
  • Sol Ruca w/ Zaria VS Karmen Petrovic w/ Ashante THEE Adonis; Sol wins.
  • NXT Tag Team Championships: Hank ‘n’ Tank VS Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura; Hank ‘n’ Tank win and retain the titles.
  • Iyo Sky & Jordynne Grace VS Giulia & Roxanne Perez; Iyo & Jordynne win.

PLAY BY PLAY

Joe Hendry is here!

Vic Joseph said his name, so he appears! The TNA World Champion makes his way to the ring, the fans wave their hands from side to side, and Hendry raises his title. The fans cheer, Hendry has the mic, and… TURNS! The fans cheer again, and they chant, “We Believe! We Believe!” Hendry says he is back in front of the NXT Universe! And what a journey it has been. I just wrested Randy Orton at WrestleMania! And less than 48 hours ago, I successfully defended my TNA World Championship at Rebellion.” The fans cheer that, but Hendry says we unfortunately know what happened next. Trick Williams attacked Hendry while his back was turned!

The fans chant F That Trick, and Hendry says he agrees! Hendry knows he embarrassed Trick, he expected retaliation, but what Trick did… He crossed the line! Hendry said Trick was entitled, but now it’s worse than that. Trick used to be someone the fans could get behind! That could lead the locker room! Trick was Mr. Let’s Talk About It, but now Trick can’t stand the fact that fans aren’t talking about him, they’re talking about Hendry! And what the fans are saying is, “We Believe!” The fans do chant that again, and Hendry says Trick is also arrogant. Because instead of looking within, he blamed everyone else that he couldn’t win back the NXT Championship!

We know Oba Femi won’t just give Trick another title match, so Trick thought he’d take a shot at the TNA World Champion! Trick, Hendry assures you he is an entertainer, but he’s also got an antagonistic side, and he recognizes what this is. Hendry will NOT fall for the deception, so he will make this nice and easy: Hendry will say Trick’s name and make him appear! Get out here right now! But wait! That’s DARK STATE! No one is safe, especially not aa wrestler from another company! Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Osiris Griffin & Saquon Shugars swarm Hendry! The fans boo, but they give Hendry the DARK STATE BOMB!!

Hendry writhes while this wild pack of dogs bark and talk trash. Will Trick even need to bother to do something after what just happened?

 

Ava Raine meets with…?

The NXT General Manager knows it has been a couple hectic weeks, but she gives congratulations on the WrestleMania win, and welcomes them back to NXT. Iyo Sky thanks Ava for that. Ava says she knew Iyo would be coming given the attacks from Roxanne Perez & Giulia, so she is prepared. There is a tag match set, but has Iyo found a partner? Well, no, not yet. But Iyo is sure she will. And tonight- Oh, in steps Jordynne Grace! The Juggernaut offers her help, because she knows it’ll help her get one step closer to the NXT Women’s Championship. Iyo says okay, she accepts. The Juggernaut & The Genius of the Sky shake on it, but Jordynne’s grip is so strong!

Jordynne apologizes, and they high-five instead. Will this super duo take down the new villainous combination of Prodigy & Beautiful Madness?

 

Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley are backstage.

Karmen Petrovic is with them in the dining area and says they were SO close to becoming WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Not to mention, they almost won the TNA Knockouts Tag Team Championships at Rebellion! Gigi points out they weren’t even one of the teams pinned in that Fatal 4 Way match. Tatum says right! And she just feels that if they could get one more shot- Ashante THEE Adonis interrupts. He says he was looking all over for Karmen. Hey, don’t worry about these losers, Karmen. They gotta go cuz he just got her a match with Sol Ruca! Karmen says first, don’t do that. They’re not losers.

Adonis apologizes, but says she needs to hurry to get ready. Karmen says yes, she knows, okay. But when? Tonight! What?! But she isn’t ready! Well, she better get ready! And after she wins tonight, “we” have a title match. Let’s go. Karmen sighs but she does head for the locker room. Gigi repeats that: “We have a title match?” Wow… Is Adonis being a bit controlling in this relationship? Or can Karmen make the most out of the opportunity he got for her?

 

NXT North American Championship: Ricky Saints VS Lexis King!

The Absolute overcame All Ego at Stand & Deliver, only for The Drama King to think he could just call his shot. Lexis lost his Heritage Cup because he was looking too far ahead, but will he be right on the money tonight? Or will the revolution still be televised?

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

The bell rings and Lexis CLOBBERS Ricky from behind! The fans boo but Lexis CLUBS away on Ricky, then stomps a mudhole in the corner! Lexis gets in Ricky’s face, whips him corner to corner, then runs up, only to get a BOOT! Ricky goes up, MISSILE DROPKICKS Lexis down, then drags Lexis up to CHOP! And CHOP! And UPPERCUT! Ricky fires haymakers from all sides, and he bumps Lexis off buckles. And bumps him off buckles again! Ricky winds up to CHOP and the fans cheer! Ricky gives the fans what they want with the “Stroke~!” and the fans fire up! Ricky whips Lexis, ELBOWS him down, then finally takes his vest off.

The fans fire up for “Stroke Daddy!” as Ricky frames his shot. Ricky storms up, but Lexis UP KICKS! Lexis headlocks, then punches away on Ricky’s head! The ref reprimands but Lexis digs his boots in. The fans boo, the ref counts, and Lexis stops at 4. Lexis CHOPS Ricky, whips him, but Ricky reverses. Lexis goes up but Ricky stays back! Lexis is confused as to where Ricky went, but Ricky spins him around to SLAP! And CHOP! Ricky fires haymakers, then whips. Ricky dodges Lexis to then OVERHEAD SUPLEX! Lexis bails out, but Ricky builds speed, and Ricky WRECKS Lexis with a dropkick! Ricky steps on Lexis to then go to the fans!

The fans fire up as Ricky is on the barrier and poses! Ricky blows a kiss and NXT goes to break.

NXT returns and Lexis runs up, but Ricky dodges, only for DOUBLE CROSSBODIES to collide! The fans fire up for “N X T! N X T!” while both men are down. Lexis drags Ricky up to hit a BIG back suplex! Lexis climbs, aims, and SWANTON BOMBS! Cover, TWO! Ricky survives and he brings Ricky up to fireman’s carry. GUT BUSTER DROP! High stack cover, TWO! Ricky is still in this and the fans fire back up, but Lexis goes to a corner. Lexis waits on Ricky, tunes up the band, and then SWEET- NO, Ricky dodges to LARIAT! And LARIAT! Lexis tries, Ricky dodges and scoops to SLAM! The fans fire up with Ricky as he brings Lexis back up!

Ricky whips Lexis to a corner, ELBOWS him, then reels him in, TORANDO- NO, Lexis slips free! Lexis dodges and sends Ricky into buckles! Roll up, and Lexis tries for the ropes! TWO!! Ricky survives again and Lexis is frustrated. Lexis runs, but Ricky blows past! SUPERKICK from Lexis! Lexis reels Ricky in, crosses the arms, but Ricky spins through! TORNADO DDT!! The fans fire up and Ricky hauls Lexis up! Canadian Rack, ROSHAMBEAUX!! Cover, Ricky wins!

Winner: Ricky Saints, by pinfall (still NXT North American Champion)

And that is why Ricky is Absolute! The revolution moves on from The King, but who will step to Ricky next?

 

The Culling meets.

Shawn Spears sits with Brooks Jensen, Niko Vance & Izzi Dame. “Over the past few weeks, you all have… fallen short of expectations. Brooks & Niko in the gauntlet match, and Izzi… Mere fingertips away from becoming the new Women’s North American Champion at Stand & Deliver. It hurts to lose, I know. But you can’t let your failures define you. Let your failures teach you. If you fear failure, you’re simply putting limitations on your life. I’m going to be honest with you, Izzi. This NXT Women’s Roster is deep and rich with talent. So I need you to focus on how you’re gonna stand out from the pack.

“And I need you to take and I need you to rip that spotlight away from somebody and put it exactly where it belongs: On yourself.” Izzi nods and has a sinister smile. Is there already a name or two on her mind? Spears then tells Vance & Jensen that with Hank ‘n’ Tank as the new NXT Tag Team Champions, Jensen & Vance need to work on building a stronger bond, on becoming a more cohesive unit. They will work deeper than surface level. And if they do that, they will have the results they seek. As always, Spears is here for them all. So he wants them to rise up and seize control. The Chair Man has given his “family” their orders, what will the future hold?

 

Tony D’Angelo is here!

The fans cheer as The Don finally returns from Las Vegas, but he is without Adrianna Rizzo & Luca Crusifino. The cowardly betrayal by Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo has shaken up the entire family, so Tony is here, the cousins waiting for him in the ring. The fans cheer Tony on, but Tony says, “Betrayal is something everyone can relate to. And everybody’s been asking me, ‘Did you expect this to happen? Did you expect this to happen at Stand & Deliver?’ And honestly, no, I didn’t. Now, I expected me and Stacks to have a conversation man to man, but never this.

“Now Stacks, he’s always been so passionate. And when things started turning sideways, I decided to give him the benefit of the doubt. And it made me think about when we were kids, and Stacks would pop off on somebody bigger than him. What’d I do? I stepped in, and I handled it. And it didn’t matter if it was on the schoolyard, it didn’t matter if it was in the streets, I always had his back cuz that’s what loyalty is all about.” The fans cheer that, and Tony continues, “Now Stacks, he’s always had his eyes on the big seat. He always wanted to lead the family. But y’know what, there were plenty of times where I was down and Stacks had my back.

“When I got locked up, Stacks stepped in and he handled business. When I got hurt, he stepped in and handled business. And he showed the world why he was deserving to be The Underboss. So I rewarded him. But at the same time, Stacks’ impulsivity jeopardized this family, and I had to step in and show him why I am the Don of this family, why I make the big decisions!” The fans cheer that, too! Tony says Stacks waited. Stacks waited for the right moment. For the whole world to be watching. For Stand & Deliver. Stacks took that knife and he stuck it right in Tony’s back. Tony tells Stacks that he will pay for his sins.

The family is in disarray. No one’s heard from Luca! Rizzo is in hiding! Wait, security walks out here? Stacks is on the tron, and he’s standing on that bridge. Stacks tells Tony that he was gonna go out there and face Tony, “those mason lamps staring back at me. Then I thought, ‘That’s not what The Don would do.’ Security’s out there anyways, nothing’s gonna happen. But Tony, I’m gonna tell you exactly what you need to hear. I am sick of taking your orders. You were getting soft! You talk about this pledge, this code you live by, but you’re making decisions that allowed people like The Dark State to think they could push us around.

“You aren’t capable of leading us anymore. Let’s be honest, T. You were never gonna lead the family anyways, so you left it to me. I had to take the reins myself, and put you in your place. I know you, T, better than anyone. And you’re shaken. Your Underboss and best friend, gone. Luca, gone. And then you send Rizzo into hiding? You’re losing more power every day. Probably thinking to yourself, ‘What’s next? Can I even trust my own family?’ Let’s be real. You don’t even know who you can trust right now, do you?” Tony looks behind him at the cousins, and they all defend their innocence. Only for “security” to rush Tony!

Tony fights off these dirty security guards but that’s 4v1! Tony still DECKS each on, and he TOSSES The last guy out onto the rest! Tony is furious, and he shouts a Stacks, “You wanna piece of me, huh!? You wanna be The Don? Well, you’re gonna have to bring your ass down here and take it yourself!” Tony will not be punked out by the man who was always under his wing. But now, will Tony have to put Stacks under his boot?

 

The Meta Four reunites backstage.

Noam Dar and Oro Mensah hang out in the Meta Lounge, and they’re both happy to see Dar and the Heritage Cup back where they belong! Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson walk in and they give Dar a big hug. They congratulate Dar and Dar thanks them. But he is thinking… Reunion time~! Oro is up for it, but Lash & Jakara are a bit conflicted. Let’s all just sit down and talk. Lash tells Dar that a lot has changed since he’s been gone. Lash was in the Royal Rumble, she and Jakara went to Saudi Arabia for a shot at the Women’s Tag Team Championships, and Oro is killing it in Evolve.

But honestly… Oro has always been Dar’s main man, but it is time for Oro to be his own man. And it is time for Miss Jackson to be about her action, and for Lash to lash out and be her own legend. Dar agrees. What made the group special is that it always took care of their individual needs. If that also means separating to be the stars that they know they are, then that’s the move. So for one last time, the Meta Four fingernail click together. No matter what, they’ll always be friends. They hug it out, and the others let Dar have the lounge. Dar tells the Heritage Cup that it’s just the two of them again. Will the Scottish Supernova still turn it up to 11 even though he’s the only one?

 

Sol Ruca w/ Zaria VS Karmen Petrovic w/ Ashante THEE Adonis!

The Stand & Deliver ladder match was wild, but the Sol Surfer was able to ride that wave and come out on top. However, that just means she has a target on her back. As such, Adonis “gifted” his girlfriend this match. Will Karmen earn a title shot with a #ShingShing? Or will she just get her soul snatched?

The bell rings and the two circle. Karmen KICKS, and KICKS, and then KICKS! Sol hobbles, Karmen headlocks, but Sol powers up and out. Karmen goes up to KICK from the corner! Karmen runs up, wrenches, but Sol blocks that kick to FACEBUSTER! Karmen bails out, Sol goes to the apron, and Sol goes up the corner to MOONSAULT! Karmen dodges, and Zaria is there to break Sol’s fall! The fans cheer, Sol hurries back into the ring, but Karmen KICKS! Karmen whips, Sol ducks that kick, then she jumps the dropdown and handsprings over! Karmen avoids the leg sweep, and the fans cheer the standoff.

Karmen and Sol reset, then Sol slips around to waistlock. Karmen fights the lift, wrenches free, but Sol ducks a kick only for the SOBAT to hit! Karmen whips, Sol goes up and flips over, but the ROUNDHOUSE finds her! Karmen pushes Sol down to rain down fists! Sol gets away, but Karmen drags her for a cover, TWO! Karmen clamps on with a chinlock and she grinds Sol down. Sol fights up, Karmen CLUBS her, and Karmen reels Sol in. Sol powers Karmen back but Karmen throws into the corner! Karmen then runs in and SLIDING KICKS! Karmen snapmares Sol, then SHOTGUNS her down! Cover, TWO!

Karmen grows frustrated but Adonis coaches her up. Karmen stands Sol up but sol fires body shots, Karmen ROCKS Sol with forearms, but Sol ROCKS Karmen in return! The fans rally up, Sol mule kicks, CLUBS and CHOPS! Sol whips, then she SHOULDER TACKLES! And FLYING FOREARMS! And FLYING FOREARMS again! The fans fire up and Sol brings Karmen around to whip. Sol runs up to ELBOW Karmen, then hooks her up for a BACKPACK SENTON! Then Sol runs, runs and KNEES Karmen down! Karmen flounders, Sol goes up, SOUL- NO, Karmen shoves Sol out of the ring! Karmen stares Zaria down, then puts Sol back in.

Karmen hurries after Sol to cover, ONE! Karmen has the cover, TWO! Sol and Karmen rise up, Sol kicks low. Sol whips Karmen to a corner, Karmen goes up, but Sol blocks the kick to YANK her down! Then SOUL SNATCHER!! Cover, Sol wins!

Winner: Sol Ruca, by pinfall

Zaria brings the belt to Sol and the friends celebrate together. But then Adonis tries to talk things out with Karmen, but she doesn’t want to hear it. Adonis turns Karmen around, but Karmen ROUNDHOUSES him down! Is the romcom turning into a tragic breakup?

 

Trick Williams is here!

The fans still chant, “Whoop Dat Trick!” and Booker T still adds his, “What? Yeah! Uh-huh! I like it!” as #CrashOutTrick goes to the ring. Trick grabs a mic and he says, “Joe Hendry…” He waits, but then says hold on, maybe the mic wasn’t working. “Joe Hendry.” Trick says he’s calling Joe’s name yet his ass done disappeared. And Hendry better be glad Dark State got to him before Trick did. But even those punks know that Joe Hendry doesn’t belong in NXT. The fans boo, but Trick says he won’t lie: Hendry got the best of him last week. Hendry has Trick’s number, Trick was out of character. Trick might even have… crashed out.

But this is what helped Trick Willy feel better. He looked up Hendry’s schedule, he saw there was TNA Rebellion in Los Angeles, so Trick got himself a first class ticket to go whoop that ass, let’s talk about it! That’s right, Hendry! He went on your show, and then made it the Trick Williams Show. Let’s talk about this: While Trick was in LA, he went to Hollywood with some of his old friends, and in case you haven’t heard, Trick Willy hitting the big screen! The fans do applaud, and Trick says coming to the CW, Trick’s second show, season seven of the all-hit show, All American, the season finale, Trick makes his debut, let’s talk about it!

What Trick is saying, he and Hendry aren’t on the same level! The fans chant “Hollywood Trick!” and Trick says yeah, he IS Hollywood! Hendry is just “local talent.” They ain’t on the same level! And while Hendry is trying to figure out his lane in this business, look at Trick’s. It’s the same as The Rock, John Cena. Hendry, you can’t see Trick. But while you’re figuring it out, Trick’s on to bigger and better things! You already know, and that’s the NXT Championship! Oba, Trick meant what he said! He wants his title back. And Oba knows he has what belongs to Trick. Wait, Ava makes her way out here!

Ava tells Trick he just doesn’t get it, does he? Ava had to kick Trick out of the arena because he wrecked the place! He destroyed a camera, and that still wasn’t enough. Because then Trick went to another company and attacked their champion. What is Trick doing!? Trick says he would hear her out, but she needs to hear him out. Trick is about Trick! Trick used to think he was NXT, but no. After Sunday, maybe Trick is bigger than NXT. Let’s talk about how Trick is the biggest superstar here, and after Sunday, he’s the biggest star in TNA, too. Hendry, you better believe that. Wow, biggest star here? That’s a bold claim.

And all of this just to get “his” title back? Ava says if he wants a shot that bad, then he can get it. But he won’t be cutting the line. Trick will have to take about… 25 steps back. Because next week, we are getting a 25 MAN BATTLE ROYALE for the #1 Contendership! If Trick can outlast all 24 other men, then the title shot is all his, because the winner faces Oba at Battleground! Good luck. Trick has his last chance, but will he defy the 1/25 odds to finally be the one around here again?

 

Roxanne Perez talks with Giulia backstage.

Roxie says she’ll be honest. She was not the biggest fan of Giulia when she came here, and took what she loved the most. But after being side by side with her, she thinks- Giulia stops Roxie there. Roxie is a great champion, Giulia understands that now. And Giulia sees that the Prodigy & The Beautiful Madness together will be unstoppable. These two on the same page could be a very dangerous thing. But will they be the ones writing the story that is the future of NXT?

 

Backstage interview with Oba Femi.

Kelly Kincaid is with the NXT Champion to ask his response to Trick Williams still wanting a title match, and that there will be a battle royal to determine Oba’s next challenger. Oba says, “Trick Williams’ complaints are starting to sound more and more like that of a crying child. However, if he can somehow manage to win the battle royale, I will face him at Battleground. But what he doesn’t quite understand yet is that it doesn’t matter if I face him one more time, or one million times, at Battleground, the title will stay on the shoulders of Oba Femi.”

Then in steps The Undertaker! He tells big Oba that he said it before, he’ll say it again: This is your yard now. Oba says that means a lot coming from Taker. Taker adds that it is Oba’s yard for now. Just so Oba knows, Taker’s got some guys coming up from LFG, and they’ll be coming for the NXT Championship. In fact, those guys step into frame! Shiloh Hill, Anthony Luke AND Jasper Troy all stare Oba down. Oba asks if this is the future Taker is talking about. It is. Then Oba looks forward to the challenge. Taker knew he would. They shake hands, and Oba heads out. When and where will “Team Taker” look to take over NXT?

 

NXT Tag Team Championships: Hank ‘n’ Tank VS Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura!

From running the table in the tag team gauntlet to then running Fraxiom over like a couple Mack trucks, the big belly boys finally put some gold around those waists. But will their first defense be their last defense? Or can Hank ‘n’ Tank deny The Bullhead Brawler & The Great Rush their last chance at the titles?

NXT returns as Briggs & Inamura make their entrance. The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who can handle the heat with all that meat!

Briggs also dodges, and he CLOBBERS Hank! The fans fire up with Briggs, he tags Inamura, and they double whip again. Hank sunset flips Inamura, TWO! Inamura headlocks but Tank sneaks a tag while Hank powers out! Hank then blows past Inamura and Tank CLOBBERS him! Hank ‘n’ Tank wait for Inamura to stand, and then ASSISTED SEATED SENTON! The fans fire up for that, and Tank covers, TWO!

Tank huffs ‘n’ puffs, brings Inamura around, and Tank grinds Inamura’s arm. Inamura endures, fights up,  but Tank steps over to HIP DROP! Inamura body shots, but Tank clamps on again. Tank whips, Inamura reverses, and they COLLIDE! Tank falls back, Briggs talks trash, and Inamura storms up to CLUB Tank. Inamura brings Tank up to fire forearms, then he whips. Tank cartwheels past Inamura, then slips around to crucifix, only for Inamura to swing free! Inamura CHOPS Tank down! Tank sputters, staggers up, but Inamura fires the SUMO PALM STRIKES! Inamura fires off in the corner, ROCKS Tank, then tags Briggs.

Inamura runs Tank side to side to bump him off buckles! Briggs runs in and BOOTS Tank while Inamura runs and BLASTS Hank! Briggs then sends Inamura at Tank to SPLASH! Inamura feeds Tank to a BOOT! The fans are torn while Briggs & Inamura are fired up, and NXT goes to break.

NXT returns again and Hank runs to BOOT Inamura! The fans fire up with Hank while Inamura staggers. But Inamura roars and ROCKS Hank! Hank ROCKS Inamura! The fans rally as the shots go back and forth, faster and faster! Hank swings, but Inamura blocks to CHOP, CHOP and ROCK Hank! Hank BOOTS in return! Briggs tags in, Hank scoops Inamura to TOSS him! But Briggs BOOTS him down! Then Briggs BLASTS Tank! Briggs whips Hank, scoops, SIDEWALK SLAM and SPLASH! Briggs roars, the fans are torn, but Briggs tags Inamura. Briggs whips Hank into Inamura’s waistlock, BOOT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Bridging cover, TWO!!

Hank survives and the fans fire up! Inamura roars, he hauls Hank up, and he atomic drops Hank onto the corner! Inamura climbs up, Hanks fires elbows, and Inamura falls! Hank DECKS Briggs, then adjusts position, and FLYING LARIATS! Hot tag to Tank! Tank gives Hank the boost, FLAPJACK SPLASH! The fans fire up as the big belly boys go to the corners, “HONK HONK!” But Briggs trips Hank! Then RAMS him into the steel steps! Tank is stunned, Inamura rolls him up! TWO!!

Winners: Hank ‘n’ Tank, by pinfall (still NXT Tag Team Champions)

That was a hoss fight if there ever was one! Hank ‘n’ Tank hold on by the seat of their pants, but will they just keep winning the Hank ‘n’ Tank way? Inamura apologizes to Briggs, and Briggs seems to accept. But with Inamura soon to return home to Japan, what will happen to Briggs now?

 

No Quarter Catch Crew talks backstage.

Myles Borne asks Tavion Heights if he heard the announcement. Yeah, the #1 contender’s battle royale. There’s gonna be not just NXT talent, but also Evolve superstars, TNA wrestlers, and maybe even some LFG talent. Whoa…! Yeah, who knows who’ll be in it. But next week, that’s gonna be huge. Wait, where’s Charlie? Not here right now. He’s still mad at Myles. For what? For teaming with Je’Von? Yeah. That’s outside the group. C’mon, man, what’s the big deal? Myles is sure Charles will get over it. But for now, they can break out! Myles and Tavion both! Yeah, but what will Charlie say?

Myles says who cares! They’ve done everything he’s ever asked of them, so it is time to think for themselves. And he doesn’t know about them, but Myles is ready to win that battle royal. Tavion says he wants in, too, but what’s Charlie gonna say? Wren knows Charles is a complex man. He has many thoughts about many things. What does that even mean? Wren isn’t sure… But one way or another, will the crew give that battle royal no quarter if it means getting a shot at the NXT Championship?

 

Dark State speaks.

Saquon Shugars mocks the song, “Say his name and, he appears~!” How about they make him disappear? Hendry, things have changed, fool. Dion Lennox says they don’t care about breaking the internet. They just wanna break your favorites! Osiris Griffin says champions, challengers, it doesn’t matter. When the lights go out, Dark State is around. Cutler James says we can believe in Joe Hendry all we want, but you best believe that they’re just getting started! If no one is safe, will no one be able to stop the chaos?

 

Chase U is back!

Andre Chase welcomes his students back and they’re all excited to be back. He knows it has been awhile, as five months ago, Ridge Holland ended Chase U as we knew it. Chase was forced to let go of the people who helped build this place from the ground up, and Chase wasn’t sure if he’d ever open these doors again. But never say never! Because today is a new semester, with a new agenda! A Chase U that- Kale Dixon & Uriah Connors arrive late… Someone brings up that Chase himself said class started sharply at 9 o’clock. Uriah tells “Chad” to pipe down, no one likes a snitch.

Chase says everyone settle down, because they’re both right. He will not let students talk to each other like that. They all wear the red ‘n’ black. Now, Chad, as for your question… F THAT! You stupid SOB, you gonna question Chase? F that! F ALL YOUR QUESTIONS! Okay, that just feels right. Chase U really IS back! The class, except for Chad, is fired up! But who will rise up as top of the class in this new semester?

 

#ZaRuca regroups backstage.

Sol did not see that coming with Karmen & Adonis. Zaria says she sure did. But hey, they don’t have issues, right? Kelani Jordan walks over to sarcastically congratulate Sol on the win. And she “doesn’t mean” to discredit Sol, but when Kelani was a champion, she defended that title every single match. Kelani thought Sol would do the same, but it seems she was wrong. And the audacity! Sol could’ve faced anyone tonight, and she goes and chooses Karmen? The girl with more distractions than you can count? Some champion Sol is. Sol tells Kelani that if she has an issue, then step up whenever you want.

Great! Next week, Sol and Kelani- Zaria has Kelani hold on there. Sol is not defending that title against Kelani next week. Sol asks, “I’m not?” Kelani says she wasn’t talking to Zaria, but Zaria says Sol busted her ass in that ladder match, put hours and hours into her training, and finally has a championship. Sol is not just throwing out title shots. If Kelani wants to step to Sol, step to Zaria first. Kelani says fine, then storms off. Will the Agent of Change make sure the Standout earns her way back?

 

Joe Hendry gets checked in NXT Medical.

The TNA doctors already found Hendry had a sprained shoulder joint, so the NXT doc is just making sure it didn’t get any worse. Hank ‘n’ Tank check in with “Joe Joe.” Tough week, huh? Hendry got jumped by Trick at Rebellion, and then tonight was Dark State. Is he okay? Hendry says yes, because in due time, Trick will get his. But first, Hendry wants to get his hands on Dark State. Tank says let it be known, he and Hank believe in Hendry. Just say “Honk Honk” and they’ll be there. Hendry joins in for a HONK HONK, and it looks like we’ve got a trio stepping up! Will they make Dark State into believers?

 

Iyo Sky & Jordynne Grace VS Giulia & Roxanne Perez!

The Genius of the Sky already got some payback on her opponents tonight last night on Raw when she and Rhea Ripley ran them off. But now, she is joined by The Juggernaut to see if she can do it again here on NXT! Will Grace help the Women’s World Champion and earn herself a shot at the NXT Women’s Champion? Or will the Beautiful Madness & The Prodigy use some vicious villainy to take those opportunities for their own?

NXT returns and Grace makes her entrance, followed by Iyo’s. The teams sort out and Iyo starts against Roxie. Iyo then runs up but Roxie bails out! Iyo pursues on the outside, and then Grace hops down so they can trap Roxie. But then Giulia turns Iyo around! Giulia and Grace take a swing but both Iyo and Roxie dodge, so Grace CLOBBERS Giulia! Roxie runs up, Grace dodges and Iyo ROCKS Roxie! Grace puts Roxie in the ring for Iyo and the fans cheer. Roxie avoids the buzzsaw, goes to a corner, but Iyo RAMS her!

Roxie clamps onto Iyo to bring her around, wrench and then tag to Giulia. They mug Iyo, then Giulia trips Iyo to hook up the legs. NXT returns to single picture as Giulia has the surfboard and STOMP! Cover, TWO! Iyo survives but Giulia tags Roxie.

Roxie stomps Iyo, keeps her from Grace, and she hammerlocks Iyo. Iyo fires elbows, slips around, but Roxie switches. Iyo wheelbarrows, victory roll, STOMP 182! But Giulia runs in to stop Iyo! Iyo rolls free, KICKS Giulia down, then crawls! Roxie BLASTS Grace first! Roxie runs up on Iyo, tilt-o-whirl and LA MYSTICA! But Iyo escapes the crossface and reels Roxie in! TIGER BACKBREAKER!

The Women’s World Champion has her vengeance on the disruptors! Roxie is frustrated, what will she do to get back to a title?

 

Ava talks with Stephanie Vaquer.

The NXT GM says the NXT Women’s Champion did an amazing job last night on Raw. Vaquer thanks Ava, and says she is ready to defend her title again. Who is her next challenger? Ava says given everything that’s happened, it should either be Giulia or Jordynne Grace. And she knows what Vaquer will say about that, so she already has an idea. They will have a #1 contender’s match with each other, and whoever wins that will challenge Vaquer at Battleground. Vaquer says that’s a great plan. La Primera heads out, who will she be meeting in Tampa?


My Thoughts:

A great episode for NXT here, with things going well towards Battleground. Great promo from Hendry to call out Trick, but Dark State going after him was certainly a surprise. Trick had a good promo in response to that, and the 25 Man Battle Royal will be great stuff. I feel like Trick is going to win that, but I feel like there needs to be shenanigans. Trick is a Heel, he should do more Heel things, like find a way to catch the others off guard. They should even have Dark State interfere. Yes, they’re facing Hendry, Hank ‘n’ Tank, but there’s four of them so they could wonk that match to win, then still help Trick. It doesn’t even have to be that Trick is some kind of mastermind, it’ll be that he and Dark State come to an understanding.

Speaking of Hank ‘n’ Tank, awesome tag match with Briggs & Inamura, and a great win for their first title defense. Plus, Inamura was on his way out so he wasn’t winning. Briggs is now adrift again, I wonder if he’ll end up joining The Culling over his bond with Jensen. Good promo from Spears to motivate The Culling, and we’ll get some good stuff from them on the road to Battleground. Good promo from Gigi, Tatum and Karmen with Adonis. A good match from Sol and Karmen for being a bit quick, and it seems Karmen x Adonis is over already. Kelani of course wants her match, and I like Zaria stepping up. I feel like Zaria being the gatekeeper, she’ll end up earning herself a shot at the title just because she gets on a win streak, and that will make for something fun with her and Sol.

Very good promo from the Meta Four, and I appreciate that their faction agrees to split up amicably. It sounds like Lash & Jakara are even agreeing to go for singles titles rather than strike out on the tag titles again. Good promo from NQCC, and it feels like Myles might break away from the group, too. I almost thought Charlie Dempsey was gonna surprise him by walking up on the group, but maybe he confronts Myles about this stuff next week. Very good promo from Tony and Stacks with the battlelines drawn, and I like that the “dirty security guards” were also just Evolve superstars. I still feel like Luca can’t actually be kayfabe dead, he is just waiting to attack whoever at the most opportune moment. And it’d be the more dramatic if Luca attacks Tony to reveal he joined Team Stacks.

Good promo from Oba with Taker, and I like that NXT is already getting familiar with the LFG talent as we’re going to see any number of them in the NXT ring soon enough. Good promo from the revived Chase U, and of course Andre Chase gets a classic Mr. Chase rant in there. But I feel like Kale & Uriah are gonna get cocky just because they’re the two that helped Chase get back on his feet. I hope that cues Riley Osborne to return from Evolve to defend Mr. Chase, and I can only hope that also compels WWE to bring back Duke Hudson.

And great stuff with Iyo Sky’s return to NXT. Good promo to establish the main event tag match with her and Grace VS Giulia & Roxie. A little surprised Cora Jade hasn’t tried harder to get back at Roxie for ditching her at Stand & Deliver, but maybe that happens next given it’s Giulia VS Grace to then face Vaquer. Either choice is great for Battleground, and if it’s Giulia, that’ll be a great farewell-to-NXT match before Giulia goes to Raw full-time. Then Vaquer and Grace can have something for Worlds Collide in June that can also let Vaquer lose the title and move on, given how she’s also been showing up on Raw lately. Or they might just say screw it and give us yet another Triple Threat to do all of that at once.

My Score: 8.9/10
