After Ash By Elegance sadly had to vacate her TNA Knockouts World Championship and Women’s Trios Championship, there was a battle Royal that came down to former NXT star, Lei Ying (Xia) Lee, but also current NXT star, Kelani Jordan! Indi Hartwell was the special guest referee, and she had to count the three as The Standout would win the 1v1 match! History has been made, and now Kelani heads to TNA Bound For Glory! Will NXT thwart the invasion by owning TNA’s titles?

BREAKING NEWS from Shawn Michaels!

While we wish Lainey a speedy recovery, no pun intended, the championship will still be on the line. Tune in and find out who gets this golden opportunity.

As the seasons change…

…comforting warmth remains in the Sunshine State. But tonight, a chilling force of nature will show the superstars of NXT no mercy! A champion’s cruelty could be the key to an endless reign, but a fierce warrior, fueled by family honor, arrives to dismantle it. Hell comes for two bitter rivals, one as cold and sharp as steel. And to remain atop NXT, war must be waged as an Absolute Revolution looks to overthrow The Ruler. Tonight in Fort Lauderdale, ruthlessness, savagery and malice cuts through NXT. Welcome to No Mercy!

NXT shares footage from after TNA Victory Road.

Kelani Jordan looked at the TNA Knockouts World Championship, and she says, “Someone always told me fortune favors the bold. And at first, I didn’t really know what they meant, but now I finally get it. I’m the first-ever NXT Women’s North American Champion, and now I’m the TNA Knockouts Champion! I get to represent NXT and TNA, and I’m gonna do it with all the pride that I have, all the purpose, and I’m gonna give 110% every single time. A lot of people, they choose to stand in and stay in one lane, but not me. Kelani Jordan stands out wherever she goes. I’m gonna continue to make history, turning my dreams into gold.

“Because at the end of the day, no one can do it like Lani.” Kelani kisses the belt, but will she still be champion now that she’s Bound For Glory?

NXT shares footage from after last Tuesday’s show.

Kelly Kincaid found Joe Hendry and talked to him about that loss to DarkState, which seems to be a running theme. How is he handling the DarkState problem? Well, those guys know how to dish it out. Joe will say that something they said really resonated with him. He appreciates who they are and the brotherhood they stand for. DarkState walked in and can’t believe he’s serious. They give him a final warning. If someone says his name and they’re around, Joe should just pretend he ISN’T here. It is on sight! No excuses, just a 4v1 beating! Then he won’t even limp his way into an interview. Kelly will have to find him at the hospital.

If you ain’t with ’em, you’re against ’em. And if you’re against ’em, you get put down. When DarkState strikes, ain’t nobody safe! DarkState leaves, and Hendry says there it is again. With them, or against them… Interesting. What could be formulating in the mind of the Inspirational One?

Weaponized Steel Cage: Jordynne Grace VS Blake Monroe!

These two looked like a dream team, but it was all just an act. And just when it looked like the stereotypical Mean Girl was going to learn her lesson, she showed her own true self by resorting to true viciousness.

Blake survives and Grace snarls. The fans want the table, but Grace brings the weight belt down instead. Grace LASHES Blake on the back! The fans fire up and Grace says one more time! LASH!

Ava Raine speaks.

“In recent weeks, the relationship between NXT and TNA has become extremely fractured. Last week, during Trick and Oba’s Title For Title match, TNA wrestlers invaded NXT, which then led to the chaos you all saw as we went off the air. After this happened, Santino and I talked for hours, trying to come up with a solution, and we finally did. On Tuesday, October 7th, on the CW, NXT and TNA will bring to you an event that no one in the wrestling world thought was possible: Invasion. NXT and TNA will compete in two Survivor Series style matches, one for the men, and one for the women.

“This Tuesday, the teams will be announced, once Santino and I make our respective picks. Also, another match that has been officially signed off on is the NXT Tag Team Champions, DarkState, versus the TNA Tag Team Champions, The Hardy Boyz, Titles For Titles, Winners Take All match. And also, after everything that has happened with Trick and Oba, everyone will be barred from ringside so there will be no interruptions, there has to be a winner. Thank you, and see you all October 7th at Invasion.” A HUGE move for this #NXTNA partnership, and in the end, we will all know who is the best today!

Lash Legend heads to the ring!

The Bougie Bully already has a mic to say, “Alright, alright, I already know what y’all’re thinking. I already know. Listen, listen. Zaria, her spear was actually worth it, cuz it cost Jaida Parker the win. Now clock that. But now listen, truth be told, we got some bigger fish to fry. TNA, you think you all big and bad? You wanna mess around? Well come find out. Please, TNA. Total Nonstop Action, right? Hmm, well that’s exactly what y’all’re gonna get come October 7th. And if there’s anybody, anybody, who should lead the NXT Women’s Team, there’s gonna be one choice. And she is me, Lash Legend, the Bougie Bully. That’s right. Cuz I get things done, and I handle my business.

“Matter of fact, um, Jaida Parker would know about that. Cuz last time we stepped inside that ring, I picked her up, I bodied her, and I got the dub. But most importantly-” JAIDA ATTACKS! The brawl is on, the fans fire up, but security hurries out here! The fans wanna “LET THEM FIGHT!” Lash is talking trash, but will she and Jaida settle this one once and for all?

Backstage interview with Lainey Reid.

Kelly Kincaid is with the Southern Charm and brings up the misfortune of not being cleared for tonight. Where is her head at right now? Lainey says it sucks. Tonight was supposed to be the most important match of her career, and the night she becomes the new Women’s Speed Champion. But she was training yesterday, hurt her foot, and WWE Medical ruled her out. Honestly, she is disappointed but also pissed off. The moment she’s cleared, that Speed title is hers! Lola Vice walks by and tells Lainey she feels for her, this does suck. But hey, her time will come.

Lainey sarcastically says, “Aw, that is so sweet. But I hope you still feel like that after you lose, because there is absolutely no chance of you beating Jacy for that title.” Lola says, “Excuse me? You better watch your mouth, before I throw one kick, and that leg of yours goes from injured to broken. Keep doubting me like everyone else, because we’re in Vice City, and that title’s coming home with me.” Lola storms off, will she humble The Toxic Rockstar and finally have her moment? Or will NXT still be under The Fatal Influence?

NXT North American Championship: Ethan Page VS Tavion Heights!

All Ego knows how to win at No Mercy, and he knows how to get under people’s skin. He’s done that with the Olympian already, but he might regret it this time. Will Tavion knock Ethan down while reaching new heights? Or will this Egomaniac find a way to steal another star’s smile?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is truly the greatest North American today!

The bell rings and Tavion circles with Ethan. Ethan avoids the leg pick, then ties up with Tavion. They go around, Tavion waistlocks, and he lifts, only for Ethan to fight the slam. Ethan goes to the ROPEBREAK, the ref counts, and then Ethan ELBOWS Tavion! Ethan headlocks, Tavion powers up, but Ethan puts on the headlock a bit tighter.

Ethan wrenches and whips, Tavion hits buckles hard, and Tavion falls. Ethan looms over Tavion, drags him up, and some fans actually sing for “Ethan, Ethan Page~!” Ethan whips Tavion to a corner, run sin, but Tavion dodges! Tavion ELBOWS Ethan!

Tavion reels Ethan in, but his back won’t let him suplex! Ethan suplexes high and hard! Cover, TWO! Ethan keeps his eyes on Tavion to then clamp on a rear bearhug! Tavion endures, fights around, and the fans rally. Ethan puts on the pressure, but Tavion pries at the hold. Tavion rises, and he powers Ethan to a corner! Tavion is free, but only for a moment as Ethan goes back to the bearhug! Tavion RAMS Ethan into another corner, but then Ethan dodges. Tavion ELBOWS Ethan, goes up, but Ethan blocks a boot to GAMANGIRI! Tavion is stuck up top, and Ethan climbs, TOP ROPE BACKBREAKER! Tavion falls to apron then floor, and he writhes while Ethan catches his breath.

The fans are stunned seeing that, and the ref starts the count. Ethan goes out the side, grins as he storms up on Tavion, and he puts Tavion in the ring.

Tavion was so close, and yet still so far away. What will it take for him to finally reach that golden summit? As for Ethan, he continues to make a case for being one of the best North American wrestlers ever. But then Dr. Wagner III speaks from the tron! He tells Ethan, “You think you should b Latin American Champion? You want me so bad? Well, I have eyes on your North American title. And I’ll see you real, real soon.” Ethan scowls, but will he and THE Son of Dr. Wagner Jr. soon go belt for belt to prove who is the best wrestler of the Western Hemisphere?

Backstage interview with Myles Borne.

Kelly Kincaid is with the Lights Out winner, and says he was also in that chaotic brawl with the TNA invaders. Given the announcement of NXT VS TNA: Invasion, how is Myles feeling? Myles says first, it felt great to put Lexis King in the rearview. Lexis doubted him, mocked him, even tried to blind him! But what he did was unlock Myles’ inner demons to beat him down. As TNA goes, NXT is Myles’ family. The NXT fans are the same people who embraced Myles for who he is, so he’ll go to war for NXT. He’ll even be team captain! It doesn’t matter who stands with Myles, if TNA wants to invade, Myles will be ready to defend his house.

Mike Santana speaks.

Via Instagram, Santana tells Trick that he’s got a big problem, and NXT has an even bigger problem. Trick wants to be man enough to slap Santana in the face, but not man enough to stick around and take the ass whooping? Where Santana comes from, they call Trick a pendejo.

Moose speaks.

“I’ve seen and I’ve heard all the noise, and the date is finally set. October 7th, Invasion. And you’d think this past Tuesday was total nonstop anarchy, well I got news for you. You haven’t seen nothing yet. Because I’ll be there this Tuesday, we will be there this Tuesday, and we will cause even more chaos. And on October 7th, I will prove three things. One: Why I’m the Face of the Franchise. Two: Why you always trust The System. And three, and most importantly: Why TNA will always be the superior brand. Moose.” Moose is ready for war, who else will be heading back to NXT this Tuesday?

Saints survives a Fall From Grace to come out the other side redeemed and victorious! The Absolute Era begins, but will Saints be ready to do this all again just to keep the title?

My Thoughts:

A great No Mercy tonight, with just one result glaringly bad in my opinion. It was blatantly obvious the moment Lola and Lainey had their interaction and Lainey got attitude that Lainey was gonna cost Lola against Jacy, and it is utter garbage. This should’ve been Lola’s night, this should’ve been “Third time’s the charm,” but instead we get another case where, in the sum total of wrestling in 2025 (certain American pro-wrestling), a Heel is bailed out by someone, and I’m sick of it. Heels need to have some damn grit and win on their own. I’d have been happier if Jacy found a way to cheat all on her own, though that might not be saying much.

Obviously Lainey was going to join Fatal Influence, especially now that Jazmyn Nyx is sadly not renewing with WWE. That itself is a different subject matter, but we’re being robbed of Jazmyn having her feud with The Influence while also just switching out pieces to have the same damn story. In the greatest women’s division in pro-wrestling, we have the same stupid story we’re seeing too many damn times. As for the Speed title match, they at least gave a great switch-up with Lash costing Jaida because of their own story, and Sol survives one of her toughest challenges as Speed Champion.

The Weaponized Steel Cage from Blake and Grace was great, too, and it was clever to have Blake’s weapons in the Barbie pink. A little surprised her Dudley Boyz inspired camo wasn’t also hot-pink but whatever. Grace getting the win here is great, and I would hope Grace does move on from Blake so that Grace can get one last chance at the women’s title and finally takes that thing for her own. And if nothing else, Lola can get her revenge on the Influence by helping Grace the same way the Influence is always helping Jacy. Also, wild news that Kelani Jordan won the Knockouts Championship to make further history for herself.

Ava’s announcement tonight was of course NXT VS TNA: Invasion, and I’m a little surprised that’s a TV special. At the same time, there’s not really time in either the WWE or TNA calendars to replace one of their usual events with this new event, so might as well make it a really cool TV event that kicks off October and the full Fall season. Great promos from everyone wanting in on that, as well as the TNA stars warning they’ll show up this Tuesday to keep that going. Can’t wait to see what happens, and can’t wait to see who are on Team NXT and Team TNA for both matches. Also, DarkState had an interesting promo with Hendry, there’s no way Hendry is gonna join DarkState, right? Right?

Great title match from Ethan VS Tavion, and while Tavion looked great, it’s just as I said on Tuesday: Ethan retains because now he and Wagner III look to go Winner Takes All with their North American and Latin American Championships. It feels like that match will happen on Invasion since it’s too soon for another Worlds Collide. And if it were me, since NXT is already grabbing up TNA titles, let Wagner III bring that North American title to AAA. And I don’t know, in the end, a Triple Threat: Wagner representing Mexico, Ethan representing Canada, and either Tavion or someone else to represent the US, truly crowning “the Greatest North American Wrestler Today.”

And of course, an awesome main event from Oba VS Ricky. I had a feeling that this was the best chance to dethrone Oba, but I was still a bit doubtful about it. And then for Ricky to pull it off with DDT after DDT, that was awesome stuff. It made me realize that he was powering up his Tornado DDT with those wins off big guys like Jasper Troy to prove it could take down someone like Oba Femi. This is a great moment for Ricky, and he can definitely carry this belt until like Stand & Deliver: Vegas 2026. As for Oba, he could easily go up to main, though maybe wait until after Invasion where he joins Team NXT to fight Team TNA.

My Score: 9/10
