Sean was super tonight, just not super enough to dethrone Drake. Will anyone ever bring down the Carolina Reaper?
Sol Ruca sulks backstage.
Ethan Page asks her if she needs a towel, an obvious jab at what happened last week. All Ego says the truth hurts right now, but he believes Sol would be Women’s North American Champion if she didn’t worry about her “friend,” Zaria. Sol says it’s complicated, but Ethan says no, it’s not. There’s nothing complicated about how Sol is legitimately a world-champion caliber talent. She should play second to no one, and yet here she is, all stressed, contemplating if she should even be ringside for Zaria’s match tonight. His advice: Don’t. Sol should focus on one person, and that’s Sol. But then Myles Borne steps in.
Myles hopes Sol isn’t buying what Ethan is selling. Ethan says this is typical Myles, sticking his nose in everyone else’s business. Yet, he has such big business. Myles says yeah, it’s the biggest match of his career. But he’s locked in. Oh, is he? Hmm. Ethan knows Trick very well, and that is a man who does things the right way, focused on one person, aka himself, and yet here Myles is, trying to help everyone else. That just means Ethan will never have to worry about Myles. Ethan leaves, but will Myles show everyone that he can go the distance with a former NXT Champion?
Vacant WWE Speed Women’s Championship: ZARIA w/ Sol Ruca VS Fallon Henley w/ The Fatal Influence!
The Agent of Change wants to win this one for Sol, but it’s hard to tell if Sol’s heart is in it anymore. Meanwhile, the Toxic Cowgirl is ready to wrangle another title for the team. Who makes their friends proud in five minutes or less?
NXT returns, Zaria makes her entrance, but it seems Sol took the first part of Ethan’s advice in not accompanying Zaria to the ring. The introductions are made, the belt is on display, and one way or another, we crown a new champion!
The bell rings and we’re on the clock! Zaria and Sol circle, tie up, and go around. Zaria powers Fallon back but Fallon turns things around. They’re on the ropes, Fallon arm-drags Zaria, and the two reset. The fans chant “You Screwed Sol!” as the two tie up. Fallon slips around to jump on for a SLEEPER! Zaria flails, RAMS Fallon into the corner, then she RAMS Fallon into the other corner! Zaria is free, runs up, but Fallon jumps up to sunset flip! TWO, and Fallon CHOPS! Zaria ROCKS Fallon, Fallon ROCKS Zaria, and repeat! Fallon CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHPOS, but Zaria shoves her away. Zaria runs up, Fallon puts her on the apron, but Zaira RAMS her!

Zaria has the legs all tied up, then HAMMERS Fallon right in the face!
Zaria finishes the leglock, and she drags Fallon with a TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! Fallon endures, the fans rally up, and Zaria sits back! Fallon powers up, reaches out, CLAWS at Zaria’s leg, but she still fights her way to the ROPEBREAK! We hit the two minute orange phase as Zaria stomps away. Zaria and Fallon throw hands, then Zaria scoops! But Fallon slips free to shove Zaria to the corner! Zaria BOOTS Fallon away, then goes up the corner. Zaria reels Fallon in, for the HANGING SLEEPER! Fallon flails, the ref counts, and Zaria lets go at 4! Fallon flounders, Zaria FLYING LARIATS! But Fallon tumbles out!
Zaria is annoyed but she pursues. Fallon swings but Zaria counter punches! Zaria scoops, LAWN DART on the apron! We hit the one minute red phase! The fans are torn as Jacy & Lainey creep up on Zaria. Zaria SMACKS Lainey! Jacy runs away, Fallon YEEHAW TIGER FEINT KICKS! Then Fallon puts Zaria in the ring to go up, up, and CROSSBODY! Zaria rolls through at 30 seconds! Zaria powers up to hit the DELTA – DDT!! Fallon turns things around, covers, TWO!! There’s 15 seconds left!!
Fallon runs, but Zaria slips around! Fireman’s carry, but TIME IS UP!
Time Limit Draw
The fans boo and even Fallon and Zaria are confused! What does this mean for the title? Ava Raine hurries out here and says, “No, no no no, this is not how this is gonna end. We are in New York City, and there needs to be a new Women’s Speed Champion! However, since the title is vacant, this match now moves to sudden death! First pinfall, winner takes all. Referee, ring the bell.” The fans cheer and the ref does as told! We’re in OVERTIME here, but who hits the game winning shot?
Zaria and Fallon run up, Fallon fires shots, then she whips! Zaria reverses, and then fireman’s carries! Military press, but Fallon slips free! Fallon runs, but Zaria TOSSES her out! Zaria huffs ‘n’ puffs while Fallon throws a fit, but NXT goes to break.
NXT returns again and Zaria has Fallon in another HANGING SLEEPER! The ref counts, Fallon fights free, and Fallon YANKS Zaria down! Zaria hits buckles on the way and Jacy shouts, “I LOVE IT!” Fallon covers, TWO! Zaria survives and Fallon is frustrated. Fallon drags Zaria up to fire forearms, but Zaria SMACKS Fallon! Fallon CHOPS, ROCKS, but Zaria hits back! Fallon ROCKS Zaria again, then hurries to get the arms! RINGS OF SATURN! Zaria endures while the fans duel, and Fallon pulls on the hold! Zaria rolls to a cover, TWO! Fallon has the cradle, TWO! Zaria SMACKS Fallon again! Fallon throat chops!
Fallon whips Zaria to the corner, then goes up, only to get caught! Zaria ROCKET LAUNCHES Fallon! Zaria then LARIATS! And LARIATS! And BOOTS! Zaria then wrenches Fallon, HEADBUTTS, and NORTHERN LIGHTS! The fans are torn but Zaria roars! Zaria waistlocks, Fallon fights with elbows, and Fallon victory rolls it, TWO!!! Zaria escapes and SPEARS!! But Fallon tumbles out! Zaria hurries outside, but Lainey saves Fallon! Zaria runs into the steel steps!! Fallon gets Zaria in, YEEHAW WIZARD! Then a FAMOUSER!! Cover, Fallon wins!
Winner: Fallon Henley, by pinfall (NEW WWE Speed Women’s Champion)
It took Fatal Influence’s influence to do it, but Fallon is finally champion again! That’s two out of three, will Lainey complete the set? What is Zaria to do now that she’s failed her friend again?
Shiloh Hill speaks.
“Alright, Shiloh Hill here. And here’s the download. So a little bit about my past. I’ve pretty much been a wrestling fan my whole life. I remember when I was six years old, my dad would pretend to be The Undertaker, I would be Stone Cold Steve Austin. One time, I jumped off the couch to try and Lou Thesz Press him, and I punched him so hard in the face, I broke his nose. I think about that story all the time, because my dad actually passed away before my senior year at Stanford. And he had given me this WrestleMania shirt. And it was my favorite shirt, it reminded me of him, so I wore it to the stadium every game that year.
“And that was actually one of the things that got me noticed by WWE. I feel like my dad kinda lives on through me, because he taught me that it was okay to try new things. Because of him, I’ve worked every job from being a logger to doing construction to working in a slaughterhouse, that was fun. I worked in a hotel.” Shiloh takes out his false tooth Invisalign to smile and say, “Can I help you with your luggage, sir?” Shiloh says he’s been software developer, in government, and oh yeah, his false tooth! This tooth got knocked out in training right as he got started here, and he remembers medical staff panicking, asking if he was okay.
Shiloh said yeah, he just wanted to look in a mirror. And as soon as he did, he couldn’t stop smiling. This adds so much. His mom called him to get the tooth fixed, said he looked hideous, and he said, “Mom, do you see how tough I look right now?” It reminds him of his friends in the woods. Oh, he forgot his bolt cutters. He’s gotta go, see you soon. Well, eccentric as he is, will Shiloh bring that toughness right to the superstars of NXT?
John Cena speaks.
“As my in-ring career winds down, I remain steadfast in my goal to leave this business better than I found it. The future of WWE is what NXT is all about. That’s why I asked Ava, the NXT General Manager, for the privilege of selecting the participants of this year’s Iron Survivor Challenge. This unique match has the ability to launch superstars’ careers to the next level. And when you talk the future of this business, no two names come to mind faster than Je’Von Evans, and Leon Slater from TNA. A pair of 21-year-olds who are way ahead of their time. Fun to watch, and I look for big things on the road ahead.
“Next spot goes to the man who is the definition of self-made superstar.” Cena lets the clips say his name for him, it’s Joe Hendry! “Right on! He built his name from the ground up, and made himself impossible to ignore. I believe in Joe Hendry.” Cena even does the turn! Cena says the fourth selection is the college football captain from Oregon State University, who has now embraced his transition into the WWE. He became a dominant force with DarkState, and Dion Lennox has earned an opportunity to show what he’s got. Then the last spot will be given to the winner of tonight’s main event!
Trick Williams and Myles Borne are both deserving in their own right, so they will now battle it out to earn that incredible opportunity. Therefore, the main event is one you can’t miss! Cena’s time is up, their time is now, who makes the most of it?
Izzi Dame speaks.
“Oh, Tatum. Don’t act like you didn’t hear my warnings loud and clear. I told you not every voice in your head was worth listening to, and yet you still followed them. And ultimately, it led straight to your downfall. And I’m sure gonna sit there and cry about it like you always do. But don’t worry, I’ll explain everything next week. And remember, Tatum: It Iz What It Iz.” The dastardly Dame puts the blame on Tatum, but what will Tatum do in response?
TNA Knockouts World Championship Triple Threat: Kelani Jordan VS Jordynne Grace VS Lei Ying Lee!
The Standout certainly stood out when she showed up in TNA to not only enter the Knockouts World Championships battle royale, but to win it all! And ever since them, she’s been insufferable!

Grace falls off the apron and onto Lee! Lani grins as she has her opponents on the outside, then slingshots so she can ASAI MOONSAULT! Down go Lee and Grace at the ramp and the fans are torn. Lani talks trash as she stands tall, and NXT goes to break.
NXT returns again and Lani is up top, Grace in the drop zone! FROG SPLASH! Cover, LEE CANNONBALLS! The fans fire up and Lani is furious!

TNA Chairman, Carlos Silva, is here in person to put the belt on Lee, and this title is officially coming home to Impact! Lee’s long journey finally reaches the mountaintop, but now how much harder will she fight to stay on top?
Fatal Influence regroups backstage.
Jacy Jayne is very happy to see her and Fallon both have belts. How does it feel to be champion once again? Fallon says pretty damn good. But they aren’t done, are they? Nope. Two down, one to go. Lainey, you’re up next, and this is the moment you’ve been waiting for. Go out there and take that Evolve Women’s Championship from Kendal Grey so that they can walk out of NYC all as champions! But then Ava Raine walks in, ruining Jacy’s good mood. Ava does congratulate Jacy and Fallon on their championship victories. But… Fatal Influence did interfere in both Jacy’s match last week and Fallon’s match like, 20 minutes ago, so…
If Lainey wants to be Evolve Women’s Champion, she has to figure it out on her own. Jacy & Fallon are now banned from ringside. What?! Ava walks out, Fatal Influence protests and complains, but it’s their own fault it’s come to this. Can the Southern Charm survive her first singles title match by herself? Or will she get lost in the Grey Area?
Sit-down interview with Ricky Saints.
Sarah Schreiber thanks The Absolute NXT Champion for taking this time. Now, Oba Femi shocked the NXT Universe with his recent return, so what does it mean to Ricky for them to have a rematch for the NXT Championship? Ricky says it means all eyes are on him. Every critic, every fan, every camera, every person out there who is doubting, “How long is Ricky Saints gonna be NXT Champion?” That is a lot of pressure that sits on his chest, much heavier than the title, no less. And that is what Ricky has to deal with. Last week, he was confident. This week, Ricky admits he is starting to question himself a little bit.
Sarah brings up that Ricky still beat Oba at No Mercy. What’s the difference here? Ricky says he replays that moment constantly, over and over, thinking, “Was that just a moment that just lined up perfectly for me?” Was it luck of the draw? And that is hard to deal with in itself. Ricky has a lot of people asking him how he’ll do it again, and he doesn’t know, it’s not like he has the answer in his back pocket. He really doesn’t know. And that is hard, as well, having to give an answer like that. Ricky also just asks himself if he’s just a “deviation” on Oba’s title reign. Will we just get back on that highway after this little detour?
Ricky says that is hard to deal with. When that little voice sits right on your shoulder and you hear it all the time. Ricky is doing his best to quiet that down. So then, what is he saying to himself, walking into Deadline, dealing with the doubt? Ricky says that he does wonder if all the work and the years he has grinded, this entire journey he’s been on, if he can’t beat Oba again, it’ll all be for naught. That is what plays in his head. But the other thing that pops up a lot, with an even bigger voice, is the pressure. “Pressure is my ally. You know what I do with pressure? I take it head on. Yes, it sucks for me, and yes, it doesn’t feel good.
“But it’s something that I’m able to use to my benefit if I really think about. If all of the criticism that I’m receiving, and all of the doubt and naysayers and everyone who starts to think, ‘Hey, Ricky just ain’t it.’ If I don’t beat Oba Femi, then who can? Right? But I can. Because I’m not going to let my journey just fall to the way side because of this one man that’s in my way. The impossible is possible when it comes to Absolute Ricky Saints, and I am going to prove that to each and every single voice out there. The ones that are in here, even the ones out there. Why? Because I am Ricky Saints, Sarah, THE NXT Champion.”
Sarah thanks Ricky again, and wishes him good luck at Deadline. Ricky thanks her back, but will that pressure on him break him? Or will it make him into a diamond?
WWE Evolve Women’s Championship: Kendal Grey w/ Wren Sinclair VS Lainey Reid!
The Arm Breaker of Evolve took this title at Succession to become only the second-ever Evolve Women’s Champion, but she’s felt the walls closing in every Wednesday night on Tubi. However, some of the pressure might be off as now Lainey won’t have the numbers advantage. Will the Fatal Influence fall short of their golden aspirations? Or can Lainey do bad all by herself?

Winner: Kendal Grey, by pinfall (still WWE Evolve Women’s Champion)
It was chaotic at ringside, but Kendal kept her cool to keep the gold! Fatal Influence is NOT dripping with gold, how will they get over this embarrassment? And as for Kendal, she knows Chantel Monroe is waiting when Evolve returns to action next week, will the Grey Area even overshadow the Reflection of Perfection?
DarkState talks backstage.
The team is all pumped up after John Cena named Dion Lennox for the Men’s Iron Survivor. Cena said Dion’s the next big thing around here, and Cena’s right! As much as Dion loves being NXT Tag Team Champion, it is time to get that singles gold to DarkState. They’ll run everything around here! And hey, don’t worry. That title is still in the family, and Dion about to go crazy! No matter if it is all four, three, two, or one, because when DarkState strikes, ain’t nobody safe! Now, let’s go get eyes on Trick VS Myles. The four head out, will they take notes on who joins the field of five?
John Cena speaks, again.
“The NXT Women’s Division is overflowing with incredible talent, and these five superstars I’ve chosen to participate in this year’s Iron Survivor Challenge are a tremendous representation of that. Sol Ruca is the first name when it comes to athleticism and innovation. Very exciting to see what she can do. Someone who’s always believed in her ability, every time we’ve spoken personally, she has one question: ‘When can I get my shot?’ Lola Vice, your time has come. The next superstar calls herself a Standout. And now, Kelani Jordan has the opportunity to prove that.
“I admire strength, because it takes time, discipline, and the ability to overcome failure. Those are all necessary traits to succeed as a Superstar. All qualities Jordynne Grace has. The final selection is an amateur standout, who not only found her footing, but has all the tools to accomplish anything she puts her mind to in the WWE: The Evolve Women’s Champion, Kendal Grey. I am truly excited to see this match. Ladies, good luck.” A truly star-studded field, but who will be the one aimed right at Jacy Jayne and the NXT Women’s Championship?
Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge Qualifier: Trick Williams VS Myles Borne!
Just as John Cena said, the man who wins tonight’s main event will truly earn their spot at Deadline! Will Trick get back on track towards becoming THREE-TIME NXT Champion? Or will Myles prove he was born for this?
The bell rings and Trick runs up to LARIAT Myles right down! The fans are torn but Trick stomps Myles and talks trash. To be fair, Myles attacked Trick from behind with a chair, so Trick’s a bit pissed. Trick whips, but Myles sunset flips! TWO, and Myles headlocks. Trick powers up, powers out, but Myles whips him to then hurdle and DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Myles storms up on Trick, whips him, but Trick THROWS Myles down! The fans rally for “Baby Orton!” but Trick drags Myles up. Trick ROCKS Myles, talks trash, “This is MY house!” Trick ROCKS Myles again and Myles goes to ropes. Trick storms up, and we see Je’Von, Leon, and Joe Hendry watching backstage.
Trick facelocks to grind Myles down, but Myles endures and powers up! The fans rally as Myles lifts, but Trick thrashes the hold! Trick CLUBS Myles, then suplexes, TWO! The fans rally as Myles survives, but Trick pie faces him! Trick says Myles doesn’t belong, but the fans chant, “Whoop Dat Trick!” Trick BACKHANDS Myles, then back suplexes, but Myles lands out! BORNE AGAIN!! Cover, TWO!! Trick survives and bails out! Myles is a bit stunned, but he does have the advantage now, and NXT goes to break.
NXT returns and Trick HAMMERS away on Myles! The fans are torn but Trick drags Myles up. Trick whips Myles to then FLAPJACK! Cover, TWO! Myles stays in this but Trick looms over him. The fans rally, Trick stands Myles up to whip him to the corner. Trick storms up on Myles, CHOPS him, and fans “WOO~!” Myles flounders along ropes, Trick stands him up, and he CHOPS again! Myles is stinging as he falls to the mat, and fans want that “One More Time!” Trick drags Myles up, whips him to the corner, then hushes everyone. But Myles avoids the chop to UPPERCUT again and again! But Trick throat chops!
The ref reprimands, but Trick scoops Myles to SLAM him! Trick looms over Myles as Myles writhes, and the fans rally up. Trick stands Myles up, reels him in, but Myles turns suplex into cradle, TWO! Trick runs up, Myles avoids the kick to roll up again, TWO! Myles slips around, but Trick fights off the crucifix! Trick powers up to have the fireman’s carry, ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT?! Trick tells Myles to get up, and he takes aim from the corner. TRICK- SNAP POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Trick survives but the fans fire up for “BABY ORTON!” Myles and Trick stand, and Myles fires counter punches!
Myles ROCKS Trick again and again, then whips, to then LARIAT! And LARIAT! And then duck to DROPKICK! Myles has Trick again, BIG atomic drop, then a dragon sleeper, EYE OF THE HURRICANE! Cover, TWO! Trick survives and Myles grows frustrated, but the fans chant “R K O! R K O!” Myles drags Trick up, UPPERCUTS again, and again, and again! Myles hooks the arms but Trick stops the backslide. Trick flings Myles over, clinches, BOOKEND! The fans are torn but Trick stomps away on Myles. Trick then cartwheels to YANK Myles up, but Myles clinches! Trick fights the hold to arm-drag free! EDDY GORDO KICK!
Myles wobbles, but he ROLLING ELOBWS! Trick rebounds to BOOT Myles! Myles ducks the roundhouse, both men jump DOUBLE NECKBREAKERS!! They BOTH wanted the RKO and it ended up like this, but the fans are loving it! NYC cheers for “N X T! N X T!” Trick rises, Myles KNEES him, then runs, but into a POP-UP UPPERCUT! Trick fires up, Myles stands, but he ducks the leg lariat! GERMAN SUPLEX! Trick rises, Myles storms up, BORNE- NO, Trick holds ropes! No Zigzag here, and Trick DUMPS Myles out! Trick hurries and aims, CYCLONE KICK! Myles flounders, Trick aims again! Trick runs up, but only gets steel steps!
The fans fire up as Myles then hits BORNE AGAIN to the floor! Myles hurries to get Trick in the ring, aims again, BORNE AGAIN!! Cover, MYLES WINS!!
Winner: Myles Borne, by pinfall (advances to NXT Deadline)
The third time is the charm, and Myles hit the mark with that one! Now he is moving on to Deadline, will Myles go the distance in the most grueling match in NXT? Or will- WAIT! DarkState appears at ringside! They were watching, and now they know Myles is their target! The fans boo as Dion, Osiris, Cutler & Saquon rush the ring! But wait! Je’Von, Leon & Hendry back Myles up! These four stand their ground and DarkState stays back. Will DarkState find out it won’t be so easy to play the numbers game this time around? Or can they still tip the scales in Dion’s favor?
My Thoughts:
A very good second night for Gold Rush, but you could just feel how it was prerecorded. With that, I was already spoiled on the TNA Knockouts World Championship Triple Threat result, but it was still an awesome match, and that was a great moment for Lei Ying Lee, formerly Xia Li. She could’ve been great in NXT and WWE if given a chance, but becoming TNA Knockouts World Champion is great for her. Then, Jordynne Grace and Kelani Jordan each being choices for the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge were obvious given the loss, but they’ll be great parts of that match, as are Sol and Lola. Kendal Grey is the real surprise choice there, they really like her, huh?
As such, I was right Kendal would retain her title against Lainey, but they did a great job with all the overbooking. Charlie making his return by saving Wren from her fall was fun, they’re definitely still playing up this coy romance between them. And Lainey was of course not winning, she isn’t going “down” to Evolve just to give Fatal Influence all gold. Great Speed match from Zaria VS Fallon and good stuff with how Sol’s bad mood played into it. Ethan Page getting in Sol’s head was an interesting detail to it, but it also made for a good interaction between Ethan and Myles to tease a possible North American Championship feud in the future.
Jackson Drake retaining his title was a little disappointing to me personally, but also a bit expected given the plans on Evolve are making it feel like Tate Wilder is gonna be a big name and will take that title at some point. Good promo from Izzi, I knew she’d blame Tatum and say “It Iz What It Iz,” it is inherent that Heels be hypocritical and see things only from their perspective, because uh duh, Izzi & The Culling are the ones who chose when and where Tatum would fail, Tatum had a chance against Jacy if they’d just let her keep going. I fully expect Tatum to just go wild on Izzi and that creates a title match for Deadline.
Trick VS Myles being main event was confusing until John Cena gave his Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge participants and put the last spot on the line. Really should’ve had Cena’s choices open the show, or at least be the first promo of them all so that it would make it all make sense. Great main event, and I’m actually rather surprised Myles won. DarkState of course went out after Myles given Dion was named to the Iron Survivor, though I honestly thought Cena could’ve named Saquon instead. And with the others rushing out there, you can bet the go home has DarkState VS Myles, Hendry, Leon & Je’Von in an 8 Man Tag.
My Score: 8.8/10

MJF arrives backstage.
Renee Paquette is there to bring up tonight’s main event is Darby Allin VS Konosuke Takeshita for the AEW World Championship. If Darby Allin wins, MJF will then have to sign a contract for Title VS Hair at Double or Nothing. Darby has made it clear that if MJF doesn’t sign said contract, Darby will never allow MJF to face him for the title again. We all know how important the title is for MJF, but is MJF willing to put his hair on the line for it? MJF just chuckles and moves on, but he notices the very bald Rick Knox, Bryce Remsburg, and the head of security, David Aponte. And then various bald members of the production staff…
And then even Christopher Daniels & Sonjay Dutt are there! Daniels and Sonjay chuckle before moving on, and then MJF sees John Silver flexing. Brandon Cutler, some arena staff, and even Tommaso Ciampa, all bald. Then last but certainly not least, Ricochet! He tells MJF that don’t worry, he’ll look great. Just not as good as Ricochet. AHA~! MJF storms off, will he have no choice but to choose between gold belt and chrome dome?
10 Man Tag: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks VS Tommaso Ciampa, David Finlay, Clark Connors & FTR w/ Stokely Hathaway!
While we know the AEW World Tag Team Championship match will be a conglomeration of I Quit Match and New York Street Fight, THE Conglomeration will be waiting on the other side for their own tag title match. And let’s not forget that Matt & Nick Jackson want their own shot at those titles again. With that, can Freshly Squeezed work together with C&C and The Bucks?

Cash sends Christian into railing, then CLOBBERS Cassidy! Nick fires hands on Finlay, Cassidy sends Cash into railing!
Cassidy and Dax meet in the ring, Dax ROCKS and CHOPS Cassidy, but Nick sends Finlay into railing! Dax DECKS Cassidy, throws hands on Cope, but Cope fires back!

Winners: Orange Cassidy, Adam Copeland, Christian Cage & The Young Bucks, by pinfall
Another star-studded 10 Man Tag, and it was a huge win for all the hungry contenders. Christian doesn’t wanna celebrate, but he does signal that he and Cope will be champions. Will putting their tag team legacy on the line be enough to take the gold? Or will Double or Nothing be the last night that team reeks of awesomeness?
Will Ospreay continues to train with The Death Riders.
They’re outside this time, Claudio Castagnoli playing some wall ball with Marina Shafir and Pac. Daniel Garcia says, “Tonight is the night that we’ve all been waiting for: The Aerial Assassin, Will Ospreay, is cleared and back on Dynamite. And rumor has it, the kid’s been working real hard and he’s got some new tricks up his sleeves. So Young Boy Billy, tonight you gotta show me something, c’mon.” Garcia gets a quick turn in on wall ball while cameras move over. Ospreay is maintaining a neck bridge while Jon Moxley uses Wheeler Yuta as a living dummy to show just how to push and pull and bend and twist on the various chinlocks and headlocks.
Use the right arm to push against the head, then snake in the left arm for the sleeper. Pry and shoot. Moxley asks how Ospreay feels. Ospreay lets off the bridge and says honestly, the best he’s felt in forever. Moxley asks if Ospreay remembers the night he won the Best of the Super Juniors. Yeah, 2019. AKA a lifetime ago. Ospreay was carefree, flew like a bird, for no other reason than that’s just what birds do. So simple back then, chasing that feeling, like no other feeling in the world. Can’t really grab it in your hands for more than a few seconds. The joy of doing it. Then everybody comes in and tries to make it so overcomplicated.
Years pass, life happens, a family starts, responsibilities show up, bad things happen, bad choices catch up to you, and it’s all weight on your shoulders. You feel like you can’t fly. But Moxley will tell you something: Nothing is different. Nothing has changed. All those things are still gonna be there, but you can still fly. You’re just more dangerous now. You’re a bird of prey. So tonight, when you got out there, don’t go out there to protect anything. Not your neck, your image, your reputation, or what you’ve built in your career. Go out there to give something. Moxley checks on Yuta and says dammit, if you’re gonna snap a headlock, snap the headlock!
Moxley storms off to instruct his pupil, but will Ospreay use everything he has been taught to great effect? Or will he have to fold against Ace Austin?
Chris Jericho speaks.
“You wanna face Jericho in a match of my own design, Ricochet? A spectacle so innovative, so imaginative, it cannot be contained, it can only be witnessed. Well, be careful what you demand, because you’ve made a few enemies yourself, Ricochet. And now a match designed specifically to settle scores without any, and I mean AAANY~, limitations has gotten even bigger.” Chris Jericho & The Hurt Syndicate were just looking for two more, but “Jungle” Jack Perry said he can bring four: himself, The Young Bucks, and KENNY OMEGA! Jericho tells Ricochet that this is no longer what he designed, but it is a devil’s dance of destruction! Ricochet’s destruction!
Ricochet got what he wanted, now can he handle it? Bald. The first-ever SEVEN VS SEVEN Stadium Stampede, who will even survive?
Ricochet & The Demand respond.
They stand with Mark Davis of the Don Callis Family and Ricochet says we all know Jericho does a lot of talking out of his ass while The Demand gets things done. Just like Davis did when he defeated Jack for the AEW National Championship at Fairway to Hell. Hold it with pride, Davis, Ricochet knows you’ll do it well. Davis says he’s got this. Ricochet says Davis has joined the dream team, but he’s not the only one. Because compliments to Ricochet’s golfing buddy, Don Callis, look who else he’s sending: Andrade El Idolo! Gracias, amigo. But it doesn’t stop there, the train keeps rolling. Ricochet was just approached by two guys who have an ax to grind with the superkick sidekicks.
These two wanna fill out the last two spots, so who is Ricochet to say no to The Dogs? Finlay & Connors storm in, and Finlay says to put it simple, they will fight The Bucks in the streets, in the ring, but guess it’s fighting at Double or Nothing! If they want violence, if they want carnage, if they want chaos, who better than The Dogs?! The Dogs bark and Liona roars, but will these seven stand tall in the Big Apple?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey w/ Kevin Knight VS BK Westbrook!
JetSpeed has a lot of momentum on their side, and as stated last week at Fairway to Hell, they’re looking to grab up all the gold they can. Will Speedball keep on rolling towards his own golden opportunity? Or will #Supastud prove his own worth?
The bell rings and the fans rally as the two step up. Bailey bows in respect, offers a handshake, but Westbrook goes to roll Bailey up! Bailey stays on his feet, then steps over to sit down on a cover, TWO! Westbrook ducks a Penalty Kick, avoids the moonsault, and the sweep! Bailey dodges, Westbrook tiger feints through the ropes, but Bailey handsprings up and over! The fans fire up as Bailey ducks an elbow to whip. Westbrook goes up, around, but kinda fumbles his tumble. The fans cheer and jeer him for his attempt, but Westbrook blocks the boot! Westbrook FLIPS Bailey, springboards in, but Bailey dodges! TIME ADVENTURE!
Bailey pushes Westbrook down, goes up the corner, and the fans fire up for the ULTIMATE WEAPON! Cover, Bailey wins!
Winner: Mike Bailey, by pinfall
Another fast ‘n’ furious finish, and Bailey’s on a hot streak! But now, the other side of JetSpeed looks to keep it up! But just who is Kevin Knight defending the TNT Championship against? It’s… BRIAN CAGE!? The Machine finally returns to action, and he has the Don Callis Family with him! Will Cage be able to ground Knight and take this title back to the family?
AEW TNT Championship Open Challenge: Kevin Knight w/ “Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Brian Cage w/ The Don Callis Family!
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who betta!
The bell rings, Cage runs up, but Knight dodges! Knight fires haymakers, Cage shoves him, but Knight dodges. Knight CHPOS, but Cage doesn’t budge! Cage makes the pecs dance, so Knight CHOPS again! The fans cheer as Cage eggs Knight on. Knight urns, leaps, but into Cage’s arms! Cage uses Knight to do curls, then THROWS knight! Knight lands out, RAMS Cage, but Cage comes back! Knight RAMS Cage again, but it’s still not enough! Knight tries a bigger SHOULDER TACKLE, but Cage stays standing! Knight runs one more time, ducks ‘n’ dodges, SATELLITE- NO, Cage stops the DDT! Cage THROWS Knight away!
Knight staggers, Cage SUPERKICKS him down! “Who betta than Cage?!” The fans fire up as Cage storms up on Knight, stands him up, and bumps him off buckles. Cage RAMS into Knight, stands him up, then RAMS again! The ref counts, Cage CHOPS, and the fans cheer. Bailey rallies the fans but Archer coaches Cage, and Cage whips Knight hard into the corner! The fans are torn as Cage hauls Knight up. Cage ROCKS Knight, CHOPS him, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Cage stops at 4, then Cage stalks Knight. Cage stands Knight up, whips him to the corner, then runs in, only for Knight to BOOT! Cage still LARIATS!
Cage hauls Knight up, whips him to ropes, but Knight grabs ropes. Knight DUMPS Cage out, then DROPKICKS him down! Cage sputters, the fans fire up, and Knight builds speed to DIVE! But he bounces off Cage! Cage then fireman’s carries, APRON F5! Knight sputters but Cage goes up the steps to soak up cheers and jeers, all while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Cage refreshes the ring count, drags Knight up again, and hits an APRON BACK SUPLEX! Knight writhes, Cage refreshes the count again, then he whips Knight into barriers! Knight practically falls into the laps of the front row! But Cage brings Knight around to CHOP him down! Cage soaks up the cheers and jeers before he brings Knight around again. Cage SMACKS Knight off the apron, then puts him in the ring. Cage storms into the ring, drags Knight by his legs, and ties the legs up into a TEXAS CLOVERLEAF! Knight endures as Cage sits deep! Knight powers up, fights his way forward, and he reaches to the ROPEBREAK!
The ref counts, Cage lets go at 4, but Cage brings Knight up. Knight CHOPS, CHOPS, and CHOPS, but Cage still doesn’t back down. Knight fires more shots, but Cage UPPERCUTS him down! Cage digs his boot into Knight at the corner, but he stops as the ref counts. Cage drags Knight up, puts him in a corner, and LARIATS! Cage wrenches to then SAIDO Knight away! Knight flounders to the apron, Cage soaks up more cheers and jeers, and Dynamite returns to single picture. Knight rises to fire forearms on Cage, but Cage ROCKS Knight in return! Cage slingshots Knight into a facelock, for a SPIRALING SUPLEX! Cover, TWO!
Knight survives and Cage is frustrated, but Cage decides to write Knight off. Cage drags Knight up, reels him in, and suplexes, DRILL- NO, Knight slips free to waistlock. But Cage ELBOWS Knight, whips, but Knight jumps up! SATELLITE- NO, Cage goes for ropes! Knight HOTSHOTS Cage for it! Then Knight springboards back in, MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts while the fans rally up. Cage goes to a corner but he runs up on Knight.

Winner: Kevin Knight, by pinfall (still AEW TNT Champion)
The Machine was out for 14 months and yet no ring rust to be found! However, The Jet is just #2Fly2Stop! Bailey brings mics into the ring to say, “Congratulations to The Jet on a hell of a win!” Knight says much appreciated. But like he said, they’re red hot right now! And Brian Cage, welcome back! Cage took Knight to his limits, but The Jet is still standing as TNT Champion. But Knight can’t get over how last week, he couldn’t get the job done becoming #Jet2Belts. Bailey says forget last week. Knight IS a future AEW World Champion! Bailey says he knows it, and everyone here knows it! The fans cheer that!
Knight says he appreciates the support from Bailey and Ashville. Bailey is always in his corner, Knight is always in Bailey’s. And if Bailey keeps it up, he’ll be singles champion, too. Bailey says yeah, Knight got him thinking. Tonight, Darby VS Takeshita, BAILEY WANTS NEXT! Bailey says Takeshita was his greatest rival in Japan, but they’ve yet to have a singles match in AEW. And Darby, as much as Bailey wants to see MJF go bald…! Bailey is coming for Darby’s AEW World Championship! JetSpeed daps it up, will they become a 2 Fly 2 Man Power Trip?
AEW reveals the Men’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament Brackets!
This year’s tournaments will go through Double or Nothing, and the finals will coincide with Forbidden Door 2026 on Sunday, June 28th in San Jose, California! The winner of each tournament will then challenge for THE AEW World Championship and AEW Women’s World Championships on August 30th at All In: London! And so, for the opening round, it will be: “Jungle” Jack Perry VS Mark Davis; Claudio Castagnoli VS Brody King; then Double or Nothing has both Samoa Joe VS Will Ospreay, and Swerve Strickland VS Bandido!
“Jungle” Jack Perry speaks.
“Mark Davis… I’m sure you feel some congratulations are in order. But you’re not champion to me. You see, you’re built like an Australia grizzly bear, yet you still needed somebody to hit me in the back with a golf club for you to beat me. At Stadium Stampede, bring your friends, bring any weapon you want, and I will crack you over the skull with it. Because anything goes. But after that, it’s back to grass roots, because it is you and me, fighting for a shot at the world title at All In: London. And in the Owen Hart Tournament, I will prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt that I’m a better wrestler than you. I am the FUTURE world champion!
“And if you don’t like that, F YOU!” Jungle Jack is sharpening his knife, but will his edge be razor sharp when it comes time to cut down Dunkzilla?
Will Ospreay VS Ace Austin!
We’ve seen the Aerial Assassin training with The Death Riders, he’s won gold with his old friends in The United Empire, and now he’s about to face a dangerous man at Double or Nothing. Will Ospreay be more than ready for Samoa Joe after tonight? Or will he fail to even get past The Inevitable?
The bell rings and the fans cheer Ospreay as he stares down with Ace. Ospreay offers a handshake, Ace accepts, and the fans cheer the sportsmanship. They circle, tie up, and Ospreay wrenches to wristlock. Ace rolls, handsprings, and wrenches, but Ospreay rolls, kips up, and wrenches back. Ospreay hammerlocks, Ace rolls to kip up and wrench to then armlock. Ospreay endures the grind, fights around, and he arm-drags Ace down. Ace endures, fights around, and rises up. Ace shoots through to waistlock but Ospreay switches. Ospreay hits the headlock takeover, Ace headscissors, but Ospreay kips free.
The fans cheer the standoff, and the two reset. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength. The fans rally as Ace pushes Ospreay back. Ace has Ospreay down for a knuckle lock cover, ONE as Ospreay gets his arm up. Ace pushes it down, cover, ONE as Ospreay gets the other arm up. Ace tries again, ONE as Ospreay bridges! Ace jumps up, but Ospreay holds the bridge! That training truly pays off! Ace jumps, Ospreay gets him for a MONKEY FLIP! The fans fire up as Ospreay then arm-drags! Ospreay wristlocks and he bends the fingers! Ospreay isolates the arm to then STOMP it!
Ace clutches his arm as Ospreay shows his training already. Ospreay wrenches, ELBOW BREAKERS, then whips Ace. Ace reverses, he blocks a boot, but not the AX KICK! Ospreay headlocks, Ace powers up and out, but Ospreay RUNS him over! Things keep moving, Ace drop toeholds to ENZIGIRI! And basement DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Ace facelocks Ospreay, turns him, NECKBREAKER! Cover, ONE!! Ospreay ROCKS Ace, ROCKS him again, and again! Ace trips Ospreay, hooks up the legs, and he turns Ospreay over to tie the legs up! MUDA LOCK! The fans rally as Ospreay endures being bent back, and he crawls forward to the ROPEBREAK!
The fans cheer while Ace lets go. Ospreay checks his neck but he is alright to continue. Ace drags Ospreay up, reels him in, but Ospreay wrenches out to SOBAT! Ospreay whips, Ace reverses, but Ospreay ducks ‘n’ dodges to RAN- NO! Ace blocks to swing Ospreay up into a fireman’s carry! Ace does a squat for the DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Ace flexes, covers, TWO! Ospreay stay sin this while Dynamite goes picture in picture.
Ace is frustrated already, but he stalks Ospreay to ropes. Ace kicks Ospreay around, CLUBS him down, but Ospreay fires back. Ace bumps Ospreay off buckles, kicks and ROCKS him, then snapmares. Ace KNEES Ospreay in the back, then clamps on with a chinlock. Ospreay endures, even as Ace cranks the neck, and Ospreay fires shots from below. Ace DECKS Ospreay for it! Ospreay rises up, but Ace DECKS him again! Ospreay sits up again, so Ace BOOTS him down! Ace waits on Ospreay, then BOOTS him again! Ospreay goes to a corner, Ace CHOPS him, then reels Ospreay in for a snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Ospreay toughs it out but Ace drags him around.
Ace steps over, traps Ospreay in a headscissors, then grinds him down. Ospreay endures, even as Ace puts on the squeeze. Ospreay fights around, rises up, and Electric Chair Lifts Ace! Ace slips free to ROCK Ospreay in the back! Ace CLUBS Ospreay to a corner, then CHOKES him on the ropes! The ref counts, Ace backs off, and Ace CHOPS Ospreay! Ospreay ROCKS Ace! Ace ROCKS Ospreay! Ace KICKS the leg, CHOPS Ospreay down, then brings Ospreay back around. Ace rains down ELBOWS on Ospreay before he clamps on another chinlock. Ospreay endures as Dynamite returns to single picture, and the fans rally up.
Ospreay fires body shots, Ace puts him in the corner, but Ospreay BOOTS him away! Ospreay is on the apron, he springboards back in, PIP PIP CHEERIO! The fans fire up with Ospreay as he watches Ace rise up. Ospreay ducks a shot, atomic drops, then KNEES, ROUNDHOUSES, and STANDING SKY TWISTERS! Cover, TWO!

Then he LARIATS again and again! Ace hoists Ospreay up top, then slips outside to ENZIGIRI! Ospreay wobbles, Ace gets space, and Ace runs up! FLIPPING RANA!

Ace TAPS, Ospreay wins!!
Winner: Will Ospreay, by submission
That might’ve been Ospreay’s first win by submission ever! He signals that his neck is no longer a problem, and he shows Ace respect for that fight. Ace accepts the handshake again, and Ospreay is moving on towards Double or Nothing with a great amount of momentum. But wait! SAMOA JOE is here! He and The Opps walk out on stage, and with mic in hand, Joe says, “Ospreay, Ospreay… OSPREAY, OSPREAY!” Joe is clearly mocking the chants for Ospreay, and the fans give genuine chanting and even singing in return. Joe says he just wanted to make sure Ospreay was listening, because these past few weeks, it seemed like Ospreay had a hard time hearing him.
Despite Ospreay’s best efforts, fate has put them on a collision course in the opening round of the Owen Hart Cup. The fans like the sound of that! Joe say she is here for one reason and one reason alone. He wants to speak about choices and consequences. Ospreay could’ve made the right choice and get a bye in this tournament, because that is what Joe would do for one of his friends. But Ospreay chose poorly. He could’ve been with the team that would do nothing but support and enhance Ospreay, but he decided to be a lapdog for Moxley and the Death Riders. The fans boo, Ospreay says he’s not a Death Rider.
Joe says Ospreay has made his choice, and come Double or Nothing, Joe makes Ospreay suffer the consequences. But Joe leaves Ospreay in peace tonight, for he has his date with destiny. But unfortunately, Joe’s friends, Katsuyori Shibata & Anthony Bowens, still feel slighted, and he doesn’t put leashes on his friends. Shibata & Bowens storm down the ramp, Ospreay ready to fight them both if he has to. But then The Death Riders appear! Ospreay may not have officially joined the club, but the Death Riders aren’t going to let their investment go to waste! The Opps say they’re #NeverLacking, but that doesn’t seem to be the case now!
Shibata & Bowens back down while Moxley, Marina, Claudio, Yuta, Garcia & Pac all step up to support Ospreay. Joe says, “Soon. Soon.” The fans cheer the Death Riders, or at least Moxley, but Bowens promises Joe is gonna kill you, Ospreay! The dream match for Double or Nothing is on, but will the training with The Death Riders make Ospreay the new King of Harts?
BREAKING NEWS for next week!
If you liked last week’s THREE HOUR block of AEW, then you’ll love this next one! Portland, Maine, the last Wednesday before Double or Nothing, Dynamite & Collision are combining forces again! Three hours all on TBS and HBO Max, make sure your DVR is set accordingly!
Backstage interview with Don Callis & Konosuke Takeshita.
Renee is now with The Invisible Hand & The Alpha, saying tonight is a huge opportunity in the main event, Konosuke facing Darby Allin for THE AEW World Championship. Konosuke could be heading into Double or Nothing as a- Callis stops Renee there to say Konosuke will be heading into Double or Nothing as a DOUBLE champion! But then MJF steps in, apologizes for the interruption but says Renee’s doing a great job. The Scumbag tells Konosuke that while it’s been a minute since the two of them have talked, three years actually, back when MJF beat him… MJF has seen Konosuke develop into truly one of the best wrestlers in the world!
MJF believes that tonight, Konosuke beats Darby for the title, goes to DON to beat Okada, and MJF can’t think of a better match than Konosuke VS MJF Part 2 for the world title. How’s that sound? MJF offers a handshake, Konosuke shakes his hand, but in Japanese, Konosuke tells MJF that he’ll beat the crap out of him. Thankfully, MJF doesn’t know Japanese. Callis says that was a nice pep talk MJF just gave, and MJF says yes, he knows. That kid needs to win, okay? MJF can’t let Darby turn him into some disgusting, bald freak! No offense, Callis looks great. But look, there is only one foolproof way to know MJF won’t be put in that situation.
So if things get hairy… MJF hands over the Dynamite Diamond Ring! Callis smiles, and say she understands what to do with it. But then in steps Andrade. El Idolo takes off his hat to shake out his amazing head of hair, and smiles at MJF. MJF frowns and leaves. Callis says here’s the deal: Takeshita will bring the world title home to the Don Callis Family tonight! Andrade asks, “How you know?” Callis says aye dios mio, he seriously doesn’t know where Andrade learned English. Andrade says one way or another, the next time, that will be HIS title. Callis says yes, he knows, it’s all good. Callis is a man of many talents, but will his family be dripping with gold thanks to a diamond ring?
AEW now announces the Women’s Owen Hart Memorial Tournament brackets!
Double or Nothing will see Willow Nightingale, the reigning Queen of Harts, take on Alex Windsor, while we will see Persephone VS Hazuki, Skye Blue vs Sareee, and Mina Shirakawa VS Athena! Champions from around the world are gathering for this tournament, but who will be headed to Forbidden Door, and then All In: London?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee Paquette is now with Orange Cassidy, Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong, and Willow Nightingale. Renee commends Cassidy on his part in the 10 Man Tag victory. But it seems that there is even more business to attend to. Cassidy says yes, the team has a shot at THE AEW World Tag Team Championships. It doesn’t matter who it is, they’re getting their shot, but the thing is… They still haven’t decided on which two will be. Kyle says Cassidy & Roddy should go for the gold, but Roddy shouts, “KYYYLE~! Thank you.” Kyle says of course. But that’s cuz he’s got gold to chase for himself!
The same man that put Kyle on the shelf for months is the man that Kyle submitted twice, and will submit again. Jon Moxley, Continental Champion, when are we doing this? Willow says speaking of gold, she is still the TBS Champion. But she is also in the Owen Hart Cup. She won this tournament before, she’ll do it all over again, so that she can have all the gold for herself at All In: London. She knows she can, and she will! Then Conglomeration has it all in order? Cassidy says hold on, there’s something missing. They should do a Word of the Day. Why haven’t they done one in so long? Roddy shouts for “MAAARK~!” And yes, Mark Briscoe returns!
The Sussex County Chicken is all fired up, and he says the Word of the day is reunification! For Mark Briscoe is back with his boys and his girls, The Conglomeration! But he’ll put this plain and simple: Tommaso Ciampa! Next Wednesday, Briscoe’s after your ass, son! You hear him? But before that, Saturday Night Collision is in HIS hometown, Salisbury, Maryland! That’s just 4.4 miles from where Briscoe originated on this earth! They’re gonna conglomerate and it’s gonna be a a hell of a time! Are you ready!? Willow and Kyle are fired up, Briscoe goes wild, and the team heads out. Cassidy admits, that was a lot of yelling.
But while The Conglomeration is ready to go Double or Nothing, will they soon have even more gold in the collection? Or are these high and lofty a little too much even for them?
Six Woman Tag: Hikaru Shida & The Brawling Birds VS The Triangle of Madness!
With the news of both the AEW Women’s World Championship Fatal 4 Way for Double or Nothing, and the Owen Hart Cup brackets, this trios match is about much more than just settling scores! Will the Shining Samurai be just as sharp as Jamie Hayter going into that title match? Or will Thekla, Skye Blue & Julia Hart continue to bring them down by any means necessary?
