The NXT Tag Team Champions are rolling on, and are the first of the Final Four! Who meets them in the semifinals? We’ll find out later tonight!

Backstage interview with Saquon Shugars.

Blake Howard is with The Sugar Man, and says that in just a few moments, he faces Tristan Angels, who did cost Shugars a chance at the NXT Championship. Shugars says he ain’t gonna hold you, Blake, but he doesn’t wanna be here. He should be posing with the title, but he’s got this Maltese by the name of Tristan Angels biting at his ankles. You could be anything in the world, why you choose to be a clown? Tristan doesn’t think Saquon looks like a champion? He doesn’t think he acts like a champion? Then why does he keep facing champions and Tristan is just in the back? Tristan thinks, Shugars does things!

But then Grayson Waller steps in. He says Shugars finally put the phone down, good to see. Oh look, “Poosain Bolt” finally stopped running. Waller says Shugars is talented, but he’s not willing to do whatever it takes to win. He’s worried about Waller instead of the guy he’s facing. And until Shugars fixes that, he’ll never be someone around here. Go handle Tristan while Waller worries about Myles and Tony. The winner of that faces Waller for the title, not Shugars. Shugars says Waller’s gonna learn a thing or two about him real quick. Sit by the monitor, boy! Dumbass kangaroo. Shugars heads out, but will he return to the back with the win?

Kali Armstrong talks with Robert Stone.

The Difference Maker knows the NXT GM knows what happened with Wren Sinclair last week. That was bull! Stone agrees, Wren should not have been in the match considering her suspension. Kali says damn right! She was tossing heifers left ‘n’ right, but now she’s got nothing to show for it! Stone points out she did have the most eliminations in that battle royal, including La Catalina. That’s why he confirmed with Rey Mysterio that Kali has a shot at the AAA Reina de Reinas Championship tonight. Kali says yeah! Better tell the “musty muffin” to get ready! Uh, he will. Stone wishes Kali luck, but will she only need a Kali Connection to become a champion?

Tony D’Angelo speaks.

The Master of Fate tells Myles Borne, “You really feeling yourself with this new attitude of yours, this ‘Me First’ version, thinking that it’s gonna get you to the top of NXT. But you see, the only problem with that is where you wanna go is where I live. Now tonight, it doesn’t matter what version of Myles Borne I get, you’re not gonna get the job done. See, I didn’t get to where I’m at because of how I talk or the clothes I wear. I got there because of results. Taking down every threat, every champ, even a Ruler. Now last week, you socked me in the face with a roll of quarters. You saw an opportunity and took it. Good on you.

“But see, that’s where me and you are different, Myles. See, you hit me in the face without five dollars worth of quarters, where I would’ve knocked your ass out with a crowbar. Don’t kid yourself. Now, I might’ve traded in the suit for a pair of jeans and a jacket, but in NXT, I decide who walks and who takes a swim. In NXT, I AM the Master of Fate. And tonight, Myles Borne, your fate is in my hands. And at Halloween Havoc, Grayson Waller, I’ll decide yours.” Tony is determined as ever, but will that see him through to the title?

The Culling speaks.

Izzi Dame & Niko Vance are in the old hideout again as Izzi scrolls through more of Zaria’s past. Niko asks what it is about Zaria that Izzi is obsessed with. Izzi says everyone looks at Zaria and sees a big, bad untouchable woman. But every time she looks at Zaria, Izzi wonders how much effort it takes for Zaria to hold it all together. Niko knows Izzi, she loves broken things. But the thing about broken things is, everyone wants to fix them, to tell them what they’re supposed to be and how they’re supposed to heal. Not Izzi. Zaria being broken doesn’t make her innocent and it sure doesn’t make her special. But it does make her interesting.

So Izzi thinks Zaria is broken? Izzi thinks Zaria is hiding something. That Zaria’s spent so long trying to convince everyone that she’s dangerous, that she forgot what happens when someone forces her to look in the mirror. You see the Women’s North American Champion, but Izzi sees a girl who is scared, a girl who is hiding behind bad attitude and a title, and Izzi wants to see what’s underneath. This isn’t even about the title. Well, not yet. This is about so much more than that. The title allows Izzi to get close to Zaria, to look her eye to eye, to watch her as she inevitably slips, because everyone always slips.

The mask will grow heavy, the act will get exhausting, and then, for just one second, the world will see the person underneath. Izzi wants that second. She wants to know who Zaria is under all the face paint, and she will find out. Because that iz what it iz.

Wren Sinclair is here!

The fans cheer as the NEW #1 contender to the NXT Women’s Championship is officially back. She goes right to the ring, grabs a mic, and the fans cheer as she says, “Hey, guys! Happy Wrensday! Now, listen to this: Wren Sinclair is the #1 contender for the NXT Women’s Championship!” The fans cheer and Wren says whoa! If you’d told her a few months ago that she’d be standing here saying that, she would’ve laughed. But not because she didn’t want it, but because if there’s one thing Wren’s gonna do, it’s overthink. And trust her, she’s talked herself out of a lot. She would just keep her head down and play it safe.

But look where that got her. Last week, Wren did something that the old Wren could never do: She took a risk! She put herself out there! She was scared as hell! She walked in as Lady Shani, sorry to the real one, but also not sorry! Because Wren knew that if she went out there and it all went bad, she’d live with the consequences. But… When she won, and she took that mask off, she proved to herself that even though she was scared, she didn’t have to back down anymore! Now she knows that she doesn’t have the biggest name in the locker room, and that she’s maybe the last one people expected to be standing here, but that’s why she has to do this!

Because sometimes, you just have to be scared enough to know that that’s how much this matters, and then you gotta go do it! Because Wren knows what happens when you don’t. She lost her title, and she watched her best friend get hurt and lose hers, and it made her realize how fast everything that they worked for can be taken away. Wren realized she can’t just stand here and wait for things to change. The fans cheer that! Wren knows Kendal Grey has always believed in Wren, even when Wren didn’t believe in herself. Wren needs to step up, not just for Kendal, but for herself. Now Wren knows that there are a lot of questions.

Yes, technically, Wren was still suspended. But- Kelani Jordan interrupts! Wren is upset, but Lani says, “And then, you woke up.” People are getting way too comfortable thinking they can bend the rules and get rewarded for it. What Wren did was smart, but she just said it herself, she was suspended, so it shouldn’t count. But somehow, someway, Wren managed to sneak her way into a battle royal, pretended to be someone else, and now she expects Lani to accept Wren as #1 contender to Lani’s title? No, Lani doesn’t think so. Wren didn’t earn the opportunity, she manipulated the situation, committed identity theft, and she wants to come out here and act like she deserves to stand across the ring from Lani?!

Lani says girl, please. This is the Standout, not the Handout, so Lani will make this crystal clear: At Halloween Havoc, Lani REFUSES to face Wren. The fans boo but Lani says she’ll face Kali, anyone from TNA, or even the real Lady Shani. She just won’t face Wren. Wren isn’t gonna use that little stunt she pulled as a fast pass to the top. Wren isn’t gonna take off at the expense of Kelani Jordan. Keep calling yourself a contender, keep filming those “Wrensday” vlogs, and keep being Kendal’s sidekick. But Wren knows it, Lani knows it, and the fans all know that risk or not, Wren didn’t have the balls to step into the match as herself.

And the saddest part about it all is Wren couldn’t even get the fans to love her for who she was. The fans boo but Stone steps in now. He knows we know that the suspension has officially been suspended. However, Lani does make a good point. Wren did win the battle royal dressed as Lady Shani. However, it is also hard to ignore the fact that Wren did still outlasted 19 other women to earn the title match. So Stone leaves this up to the NXT fans. The fans are already chanting, but he asks if they think Wren is deserving. The answer is “YES! YES! YES!” Well, then it is #SetInStone! Wren will still challenge Lani for the NXT Women’s Championship at Halloween Havoc!

Lani is furious, and she takes a swing on Wren! Wren dodges to mule kick, and she YANKS the belt away! Wren feints a belt shot just to make Lani freak out! Wren then pats the belt before she drops it on Lani. Will it be trick or treat for Wren at Halloween Havoc?

Lizzy Rain talks with Cruz Montana.

The Maiden of Metal is still down about last week. One minute, she was cracking skulls, and the next, she’s on the floor. Cruz tells Lizzy that it happens. But she impressed a lot of people with that match, including Cruz. Use that fuel to light that fire. Then he gets a call and excuses himself. Cruz answers, and it seems to be his mother. Cruz says no, he’s got Dion Lennox next week. He knew as soon as he opened up about the family, people would use that against him. But he wants her to know, he’s proud of her, she did what she had to do. That made Cruz the man he is today, so he’s thankful. Okay, he’ll call her back after the show. Bye.

But then DION CLOBBERS CRUZ! Dion HAMMERS away on Cruz, then grins as he asks who that was. Dion redials the phone, and he says hey, Cruz forgot to tell you something. He gonna need you after this, because Dion’s gonna whoop his ass and send him right back to that dark place he crawled out of! Dion throws the phone down, but has he just made the biggest mistake of his life?

AAA Reina de Reinas Championship: La Catalina VS Kali Armstrong!

There’s a reason Catalina ended Flammer’s historic reign to start her own! Will nothing stop The Diva of the Ring from becoming the new best of all time?

Myles Borne warms up backstage.

Wren Sinclair walks by, shaking her head. Myles says it must feel good to stand up for yourself, though, don’t it? Wren says yeah, but what she did and what Myles did are totally different. Wren was fighting injustice, Myles betrayed his best friend. Wren was tired of being a doormat, and Myles was selfish. Selfish? Yes, selfish. Wow, that’s funny coming from her, when she renamed their entire faction after herself. But it was a better name. Regardless, Myles is still gonna #1 contender, and come Halloween Havoc, there will be a NEW NXT Champion. Kendal Grey adds, “And a NEW NXT Women’s Champion, too, right?”

Wren is so happy to see Kendal! It feels like forever! Myles leaves, and Kendal says Lani’s face when Wren took the mask off was insane! Lani had never seen anything like that, huh? Kendal sure didn’t! No one did! Why didn’t Wren tell Kendal? Wren felt she couldn’t tell anyone. Kendal gets that, but hey, Kendal talked to medical earlier today, and… She’s cleared! OMG FINALLY! Things are finally looking up. No injuries, no suspensions, and all they gotta do is bring the title back to the WrenQCC! So what’s the plan? Wren and Kendal strategize, will having her best friend back by her side help Wren end Lani’s reign?

EK Prosper checks on Chazz Hall & Mini Vikingo.

He asks how they’re feeling about the match tonight, and Vikingo says this sucks! They were just starting to click as a tag team! EK says hey now, don’t do that. They’re good! There’s a reason Robert Stone and Rey Mysterio put them in the tournament. Now, they didn’t win, but same as what EK’s been told: It ain’t losing, it’s learning. Keep your heads up, you’ll be alright. You’ll prosper, okay? Chazz thanks EK for that and they all shake hands on it. But then Vanity Project steps in and Smokes says it is not safe to have this many losers in the same room together. Brad says yeah, the vibes are down. So go ahead, bounce and leave this to the winners.

EK asks why the hell is Myka in here. Myka says she goes where the boys go. Drake says if they’re not in this to make money and win titles, then what’re the in it for? EK says hey, hey! Has anyone told them they talk too damn much? Brad says keep talking like that, and EK is gonna walk right into another L. Chazz says he’d love another chance to shut these clowns up. How about next week, 3v3? Uh, did they forget? Swipe Right has the Dusty Cup to focus on. Y’know, the tournament they just eliminated you from. But Drake says hey, another easy W sounds pretty good. And based on the ass kicking Swipe Right gave these “filthy little jits tonight,” they don’t stand a chance.

EK keeps Vikingo calm, and says we’ll see. Smokes tries to do the step but EK doesn’t flinch. EK says ain’t nobody afraid of Vanity Project. Will the Disrespectfully Athletic help Starboy & Mini Vikingo teach Vanity Project about respect?

2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Second Round: Fraxiom VS Noam Dar & Romeo Moreno!

Backstage interview with Los Hermanos Wagner.

Blake Howard is now with the AAA World Tag Team Champions, Galeno y Dr. Wagner III, and says they come from a family rich in lucha libre tradition. How much pressure is there to perform and succeed in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic? Wagner says there is a ton of pressure, especially as champions. But pressure? C’mon, they thrive on it. Galeno says they are honored to be participating in this tournament, and their goal is to win the Cup. But then BirthRight steps in, and Lexis King says look who we have here. A couple third-generation superstars! Impressive. Just not as impressive as Uriah Connors, NXT’s one-and-only FOUR GENERATION superstar.

Arianna Grace says Wagner & Galeno would actually make a beautiful addition to BirthRight. Unfortunately, they’re not really accepting applications right now. They can thank Zilla Fatu for that. Though, he did pay for it with his broken hand. Wagner tells BirthRight that they will not fail their familia. Galeno says next week, they will show BirthRight that their team won’t stand a chance against the brothers. Los Hermanos Wagner leave, Lexis asks what they even said. Charlie Dempsey says it doesn’t matter, because even the best AAA has can’t stop BirthRight. Will Lexis King & Charlie Dempsey prove they’re worthy of the Cup?

Robert Stone is on the phone.

He confirms to the other person that it will be Tony D’Angelo VS Grayson Waller for the NXT Championship. But hold on, he’ll have to call them back. Stone arrives in his office to see a note on his desk. Stone picks it up, and reads it: “Make me the host of Halloween Havoc or you… are… cursed!” Signed… Anonymous. Well, c’mon, it’s kinda obvious who wrote that. Will this year’s Halloween Havoc be Very Nice, Very Evil?

My Thoughts:

A great NXT to help build up Halloween Havoc. For one, that final segment with that obvious note, Danhausen hosting Halloween Havoc is gonna be a lot of fun and I can’t wait to see it. I still hope we get the wheel back and that Danhausen gets to add his own ideas to it. Great promo from Wren with Kelani to make their title match official, and great to see Kendal Grey is “cleared” going into it. Good interaction from them and Myles to keep that old WrenQCC connection going. Myles VS Tony was a great main event, but I think they could’ve done better with the cameraman getting Myles’ attention. If Tavion was on the middle of the apron as Myles tries to run, that’d make more sense as to why Myles would be confused.

Either way, I figured Tony would win so that he and Waller can have a rematch, and Tavion putting Myles through the table was good stuff to close the show. If none of the title matches get a wheel stipulation, Myles VS Tavion needs one to fit the heat between them. Izzi VS Zaria is all but official, too, given Izzi’s promo where she wants to keep digging at Zaria emotionally. Very good match from Tristan VS Shugars, but they could’ve done better on that knee drop attack. But Tristan technically cheating, he and Shugars can have a rematch at Halloween Havoc, maybe also putting a stipulation on it.

Good promo from Kali to help set up her title match with Catalina. Of course Catalina retained, though, because as I said before, an AAA title won’t change hands on a WWE program. Good promo from Cruz encouraging Lizzy and getting a call from his mom, but the way they framed it was a clear sign Dion was attacking from outta nowhere. That’s some good last minute heat put on Dion, and I would think Cruz wins. Though at the same time, Dion can cheat, and that means a rematch for Halloween Havoc. Good promo from Hermanos Wagner and BirthRight, and I feel like regardless of what happens in the Dusty Cup, we could get a Six Man Tag of Zilla & Los Wagners VS BirthRight.

And naturally, we got some awesome Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic matches tonight. Swipe Right winning out made sense, they’re the NXT Tag Team Champions, and therefore should be this deep into the tournament. Good promo from Vanity Project with EK, Starboy & Mini Vikingo, and the Six Man Tag from them will be a lot of fun, too. It probably sets EK up for challenging Drake and maybe even getting that North American title. Fraxiom VS Dar & Romeo is already match of the tournament, and up there was one of NXT’s best all year. Dar & Romeo getting the win was great stuff and makes a lot of sense as Fraxiom is busy on SmackDown. Depending on what happens with Wagners VS BirthRight, I feel like Dar & Romeo have a good chance of going to the finals.

My Score: 8.9/10
