NXT, 7/22
Starts with a short hype
package for Finn Balor, hyping that the “Reign of the Demon has begun”
And the show kicks off
with Finn in a suit with the NXT Title heading to the ring, throwing up a
subtle Too Sweet. Greg Hamilton talks to Finn, asks how it feels to be back for
the first time since winning the title.
Balor talks about how
the sacrifices he made over a long career all over the world and even coming to
NXT was a big risk, a big step for him. But it was all worth it for be able to
raise the title over his head as the champion.
Then Greg asks him about
his rematch with Kevin Owens. Balor talks about all the people Owens has beaten
or hurt but that he didn’t beat Balor in Tokyo. But says he didn’t beat Finn
Balor in Tokyo and on August 22 at the Barclay Center (which got some boos on
the episode but from dirtsheets there were reports that the Full Sail crowd was
pretty vocal and upset about not getting the next Takeover), he’s going to walk
in as NXT Champion and walk out as NXT Champion.
Devin talks to Eva Marie
about her in-ring debut next. She thanks William Regal for the opportunity and
she’s taking it, like, so seriously you guys. She says there’s misconceptions
about her but you just need to open your eyes cause you’re gonna like what you
see. Eva still just has no charisma.
Eva Marie out to take on
Cassie and surprisingly the crowd isn’t booing her as much as I thought they
would. They definitely weren’t happy to see her though.
Eva locks up first but
Cassie takes over easily and throws Eva with a lucha arm drag then gives her a
few spinning kicks in the corner.
But then Eva takes over
and she doesn’t really look much improved from before. Maybe a little bit -
maybe. She puts Cassie in a few arm locks on the mat and hits a few more
uninspired moves. But Cassie fights up and knocks down Eva with a series of
kicks but only gets a 2 count..
Eva stuns Cassie by
pulling her backward onto the ropes and wins with a Sliced Bread out of the
corner, an homage to The Brian Kendrick who helped her train this past year.
William Regal walks into
his office talking on his phone about NXT Takeover in Brooklyn and Tyler Breeze
is waiting for him. Breeze wants to know what he’s doing at Takeover since he’s
not in the championship match and Breeze says it better be something good.
Something bigger. Something monumental. But Regal only tells him he’s working
on it.
Next, Baron Corbin out
to squash some jobber (had to look it up - it was Jesus de Leon).
Bell rings, Corbin
throws the guy into the ropes then hits End of Days for the win.
Samoa Joe out next. He’s
got some new music and it’s still not great but it’s better. It keeps the horns
from that cool intro then uses them more a better, more intimidating sound.
Joe takes on Mike
Rallis. Rallis goes right at Joe but Joe easily weathers the assault and
corners Rallis, hammering him with kicks and punches. Rallis tries to fight
back but Joe stops him with ease and during the match, they say Joe will face
Rhyno in two weeks on NXT.
After a uranage when
Rallis tried to rush into the corner, Joe hits a muscle buster for the pin.
Devin talks to Evil Emma
and Dana Brooke. Devin tells her Bayley said next time she sees Emma she’s
gonna do more than hug her and Emma says I guess she has a problem cause I
broke her little hand. Emma says that if breaking her hand wasn’t enough to
make Bayley take her seriously, maybe it’s time she broke Bayley’s childish
spirit.
Dana tells her to calm
down and asks Emma if she needs a hug. They hug it out and leave and Dana pats
Devin on the head.
Evil Emma, with Dana
Brooke, heads to the ring and she has one of Bayley’s slap bracelets around her
wrist. She takes on Bayley who still has a brace on her injured hand.
Emma distracts Bayley
with the slap bracelet and gets in the ropes to cause a break then cheapshots
Bayley for an early advantage. But it isn’t long before Bayley turns the tide,
hits a bulldog and gets a 2. Emma retreats to the outside and when Bayley
follows, Emma slams her hand into the ring post then targets it.
Emma slams Bayley hand
in the corner, stomps on it and chokes her with it. Emma locks in a
straightjacket choke but Bayley reverses it and hits a few big elbows in the
corner. They take each other down with clotheslines and pull themselves back
up. Dana tries to pull Bayley’s hand over the ropes and the ref sends her to
the back.
Bayley and Emma trade
roll ups but then Bayley hits a Belly to Bayley for the win.
Afterward, Bayley says
she wants to be Women’s Champion but to do that she needs to beat the best and
wants a match with Charlotte.
After a short
Battleground recap of the Divas match that Charlotte won, Dasha Fuentes, new
interviewer/ring announcer, talks to Charlotte about the challenge Bayley threw
down. Charlotte says the girls at NXT have finally gotten a chance on the main
roster and if Bayley wants a match there is no one more deserving. And that no
one wants to take the NXT Women’s Championship to Raw more than she does.
Then Dana Brooke
interrupts. Dana says Charlotte has been given chance after chance at the
Women’s title and now she’s been given a chance on Raw that she’ll probably
mess up too. She says she’s never been given the chances Charlotte has been
given. Charlotte says if that’s what she wants, she can have a match but she
will make a statement Dana will never forget.
The Vaudevillains are
out next. They take on Angelo Dawkins and Sawyer Fulton. Gotch and Dawkins
start off first and Gotch takes control. Rich Brennan says the Vaudevillains
get their NXT Tag Title shot next week on NXT. (I don’t like that, I doubt the
titles will change hands on TV).
But then Fulton tags in
and starts to take control of Gotch, keeping him in an abdominal stretch. He
tags in Dawkins who leaps high in the air for a dropkick as Fulton lifts Gotch
then puts Gotch in an abdominal stretch. But Gotch uses his foot to hit Dawkins
in the face and English gets tagged in and takes out both Fulton and Dawkins.
They hit the Whirlish Dervish for the win.
Blake and Murphy and
Alexa are backstage, sarcastically clapping for the Vaudevillains. Devin asks
them about the Vaudevillains who are on a roll. Murphy says they (BAMF) are the
best thing to come out of this century, where are the Vaudevillains from, 1999?
Then Alexa quiets them
down and says when her boys face the Vaudevillains next week, they will leave
the NXT Tag Team Champions - she will make sure of it. And tells Devin to shoo.
I really like how Alexa
Bliss is the brains of Blake and Murphy and she is using them to stay
associated with the gold.
Contract signing is up
next. Whenever Regal mentions that Takeover is in Brooklyn the crowd boos. He
talks up the rematch but is interrupted by Kevin Owens who makes his way to the
ring. Then Regal introduces Balor.
Regal asks Finn to sign
the contract but Owens speaks up and asks Finn how it feels to be NXT Champion.
How does it feel to be the champ in the biggest match in NXT history and uses
it to get boos by reminding the crowd it’s in Brooklyn. And that he’s going
into the match as champ, but still as underdog.
Owens says he did do all
those things Balor mentioned earlier. Owens reminds him the he won the title
two months after his debut. He also did cripple Sami Zayn more than once. He
did send Neville right out of NXT. He did beat Cesaro, drop Rusev on his head
and he certainly did beat John Cena. And that’s just in his first 6 months.
In Brooklyn, he’s going
to show Finn and all these idiots that Japan was just a fluke and become the
first two-time NXT Champion and take Finn Balor out for good.
Balor sounds indignant
about Japan being a fluke. He says everyone knows Owens likes to talk and in
Brooklyn, shove his words down his throat and then signs the contract.
Owens eyeballs Regal as he signs the contract. After Regal
announces it’s official for the Barclay Center and everyone boos, Owens throws
the contract at Balor, flips the table and attacks him. Regal tries to grab him
but Owens hammers him with a big punch. Then Owens in on Balor, raining down
blows on Balor and sends him into the ropes maybe looking for a powerbomb but
Finn leaps into him with a forearm and Owens rolls out. He tries to get back in
the ring but Balor hits a dropkick and Owens heads up the ramp.
So the news that Liger is going to be at
NXT Takeover went from "cool, a Japanese legend is gonna be at an NXT
show" to "PANIC! WWE IS GOING TO RUIN THE ROH/NJPW RELATIONSHIP TO
STEAL NJPW FROM THEM AND KILL ROH!" online this past weekend.
And allegedly, WWE is calling venues
that ROH runs in and saying “Hey, we’re interested in running NXT in your venue…BUT
only if you don’t book ROH anymore.” Who knows if that’s for real though.
I don’t know why WWE is trying to kill
its best indy developmental system but it seems like they are.
NXT will be running head to head against
ROH AGAIN. In Sept, ROH is hosting All Star Extravaganza on Sept 19 in San
Antonio and NXT just announced a show that night in SA about 17 miles away (ROH
is in Shrine Auditorium and NXT in Aztec Theater). NXT will also be in Houston
on 17 Austin on 18.
Lucha Underground, 7/22
Dario Cueto and Big Ryck talk to each other as Lucha Underground
opens. Cueto says they haven’t been seeing eye-to-eye, that there was a reason
Ryck was the first he signed to a big money contract – Cueto had big plans for
him. And Ryck picks up on Cueto saying “had big plans.” Cueto says he lost
focus – blinded by Daivari’s money.
Cueto says he wants him out of Daivari’s shadow and back in the
spotlight. Cueto says tonight he is revealing the power of the ancient Aztec
medallion’s and asks Ryck what’s more important – money or power? And Ryck says
“Why choose when I can have them both?” and gets a payout from Cueto as well as
just being handed the final medallion.
Johnny Mundo out first to take on Texano. Crowd really hating on
Mundo and really behind Texano. Chanting “Johnny Zero” and he flips off the
whole crowd.
Mundo starts working on the knee of Texano early but can’t keep
Texano down long. Texano tries to mount a comeback but Mundo using tricky
tactics to keep Texano outside of the ring and slamming him into the railings
to keep him dazed.
Mundo hits some knees and big kicks in the middle of the ring and
gets a 2 count then keeps Texano on the mat with a chinlock.
Texano avoids the End of the World and sets up for a powerbomb but
the Crew shows up and attacks Texano. Mundo looks at both Cortez and Cisco and
they start stomping Texano together until Alberto El Patron shows up to even
the odds.
Texano starts beating down the Crew with the bull rope and sends
them scurrying away but then he realizes it’s Alberto in the ring with him and
they stare each other down, since they have had issues in the past. Can’t tell
if Texano looks a little sour about Alberto stealing his spotlight or his
thunder or if he’s just pissed his match got interrupted.
Hernandez is in Cueto’s office. He tells Hernandez what he’s done
with the leather strap (or a belt in other words) is nothing short of a
masterpiece. And Cueto says that Ultima Lucha will be two weeks – that it
begins next week and isn’t just on August 5.
Cueto seems to be getting at a stipulation match between Drago and
Hernandez. Cueto says he’s gotten a lot of tweets from the fans about how they
hate Hernandez, who says the feeling is mutual. But it gave Cueto an idea –
“believer’s backlash”. Cueto is letting fans in close to the ring during their
match, each with straps and if Hernandez and Drago get near them, they are
allowed to deal out some punishment. Hernandez says he hopes Cueto has insurance
because if anyone tries to hit him, he’s going to paint the canvas with their
blood.
The Mack takes on Cage.
Cage starts off fast, reversing Mack’s offense and hitting lots of high-impact
power moves. But Mack surprises him with a sunset flip out of the corner and
wins in speedy, surprising fashion.
And Cage is pissed. He keeps attacking Mack after the match and
then they start brawling outside the ring. The ref and security guards try to
break them up but they can’t be stopped and keep brawling all over and up the
steps.
Cueto comes out of his office and yells for them to stop. He tells
them if they want to fight he’s going to find whatever he can in the temple,
put it all around the ring and let them use it all to rip each other apart. And
The Mack vs The Machine will kick off Ultima Lucha next week in a falls count
anywhere match.
After dealing with The Mack and Cage, he gets into the ring to
tell everyone what the Aztec medallions mean.
Cueto says together, the medallions make up what he calls “The
Gift of the Gods” and unveils a new championship belt which features a spot for
each medallion and with the belt, can challenge for the Lucha Underground
championship whenever they want.
But there is a twist – you have to let Cueto know in advance when
you want a shot (so he can promote the fight) and you have to defend it
regularly so you may lose it before cashing it in. Once it’s been cashed in,
the medallions will be redistributed and the fight for their power begins
again.
At Ultima Lucha, there will be a 7-way match for the Gift of the
Gods belt. He calls to the ring all the winners so far – Jack Evans, Aerostar,
King Cuerno (Sin Carl), Bengala, Sexy Star, and Big Ryck. But what about Fenix?
Cueto calls for them all to put their medallions in the belt and
they do. Cueto says since Mil Muertes destroyed Fenix, he’s putting the final
medallion up for grabs in a battle royal tonight. And when there are only 2
luchadores left, the only way to win is pinfall or submission.
Just then, Fenix comes to the ring. Cueto says Fenix is a little
late but since he’s feeling generous, lets him enter the battle royal.
In the battle royal are – Fenix, Killshot, Argenis, Famous B,
Mascarita Sagrada, Daivari, Vinnie Masaro, Ricky Mandel, Super Fly, and Marty
the Moth.
Mandel goes out first after trying to toss out Famous B while B
was showboating for the fans. Argenis tries to sneak up from behind Famous B
but Argenis gets flipped up over the ropes and knocked to the floor after
landing on the apron.
Killshot starts working over Famous B in the corner but he gets
interrupted by Daivari. Killshot sends him over the ropes but Daivari catches
himself and lands on the apron as Killshot puts down Famous B with a cutter. Killshot
playing to the crowd a little too much while going for a big dive onto Famous B
and Daivari pushes him to the floor.
Daivari eliminates Masaro while he fights with Famous B and then
Mascarita Sagrada eliminates himself while monkey flipping Super Fly off the
ring apron to the floor.
Only four left now – Daivari, Famous B, Marty the Moth and Fenix. Marty
lights up B with chops and tries to send him over the ropes but he hangs on.
Maybe a foot touched but not enough to be eliminated. Marty tries to push him
out and Daivari comes in to help. (They are really putting Famous B over a lot
in this – letting him eliminate people, having two heels work him over) Finally
both Marty and Daivari working together get Famous B to the floor.
Marty and Daivari go after Fenix together. Daivari tries to toss
Fenix but Fenix turns it around at the last minute and sends Daivari to the
floor. And now we have a one on one match.
Fenix having no trouble taking control of Marty early on. Marty
using his size to match Fenix’s speed though. Marty teases a dive over the top
but then flips off the fans.
Fenix hits a big lucha arm drag out of the corner and then a tope
through the ropes but only gets a 2 count. Marty tries to reverses a head
scissors but Fenix sits down on him and Fenix gets the three count to regain
the Aztec medallion that he won to get a shot at the Gift of the Gods
Championship. Fenix puts the final medallion in the belt and Cueto looks upset
at the door of his office.
Prince Puma on his own tonight and will address the crowd for the
first time. Konnan was taken away by the Disciples of Death and Mil Muertes in
a casket last week and this is the first time Puma speaks in Lucha Underground.
Puma wearing a black mask, almost as if he’s mourning Konnan, and
as he’s about to speak, Catrina and Mil Muertes interrupt him and head to the
ring. Puma sees them at the top of the stairs and puts the belt down in the
ring, drawing a line in the sand with it.
Puma takes off his jacket and beckons Mil down to the ring with
it. But from behind, the Disciples of Death attacks Puma. Puma fights them all
off easily and then takes them out with a corkscrew plancha. He keeps egging on
Mil and Mil finally races into the ring, full suit and all.
They start trading punches and Puma hits a few big kicks that puts
Mil down on the mat. Puma climbs the turnbuckle and stares down Catrina as he
hits a 630 senton on Mil.
Puma stands tall with the LU Championship as the episode ends.

ROH DA 7/22

There's an 8-man (House of Truth vs
Briscoes, ODB and Strong) but the rest is old stuff
First is reDRagon vs Addiction when Kaz/Daniels won tag titles. They had the help of the KRD and this was the first time it was revealed the Addiction were allied with Sabin and the KRD.

A recap of the steel warfare cage match
when Kevin Steen killed Scum.
The finals of the Top Prospect
Tournament between Dijack and Ferrara. And it was Dijack who won, and went on
to join the House of Truth.
Next, reDRagon vs Sydal and ACH for the
tag titles. ReDRagon retains.
AJ Styles vs Hanson. Raymond Rowe is on
commentary. It's pretty good, the little they show of it. Hanson looks good but
AJ wins with the Styles Clash.
Michael Bennett with Brutal Bob and
Maria vs Lance Storm from 2012. Bennett wins when he hits his finish on a steel
chair from Bob while Maria distracts the ref.
The 8-man up next. So the show is about
2/3 clips since the main event is 20 minutes. ODB and Truth start but they
don't lock up, truth does a break dance spin on his back and tags Lethal in.
Roddy tags himself in but Lethal tags out to Dijack. Roddy takes control and
tags out to Jay then Mark.
But when they come back from
commercials, Lethal is beating down Mark then tags in Diesel and Dijack. Later,
Jay Briscoe is getting beat down and kept in the Truth corner. Truth himself
gets in but gets punched in the gut once before tagging out again.
Briscoe tags out and Lethal and Strong
come in, a preview of Death Before Dishonor. Roddy owns him and the fight
spills outside, where the House of Truth gets the upper hand and ODB is
cornered in the ring. She drinks from her flask and gets drunk strength and
hits them all with forearms and slaps. But then Truth and Lethal kick her and
she goes down but then the Briscoes and Strong make the save and everyone is
brawling. ODB pins Truth in the melee after spitting flask booze in his face.
DA is apparently taking away a showing
of ROH on their channel. It had been airing at 8 and 11 pm but now will only be
airing at 11, because a new season of Bigfoot in America is beginning.

Ricochet challenges for
the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title at the finals of the G1 25 Climax
Get the standings so far
for the G1
(As of 7/29)
Block A
Tetsuya Natio – 6
Katsuyori Shibata – 6
Bad Luck Fale – 6
AJ Styles – 4
Hiroshi Tanahashi – 4
Kota Ibushi – 4
Togi Makabe – 4
Hiroyoshi Tenzan – 2
Toru Yano – 2
Doc Gallows – 2
Block B
Kazuchika Okada – 6
Tomohiro Ishii – 6
Karl Anderson – 4
Hirooki Goto – 4
Yuji Nagata – 2
Shinsuke Nakamura – 2
Michael Elgin – 2
Yujiro Takahashi – 2
Tomoaki Honma – 0
Days 1 and 5 have been
the highlights so far but there have been good matches from each day.
It appears that Shinsuke
Nakamura injured his left elbow in a match against Yuji Nagata and will be
missing some matches in the G1 Climax. He was the favorite of many fans to win
the annual tournament but now that seems much less likely.
He missed wrestling on
the undercard on Sunday and missed Monday’s match against Michael Elgin
(meaning Elgin’s first NJPW victory came by forfeit). Nakamura isn’t out of the
tournament entirely but he only has 2 points right now and every match he
misses is considered a forfeit so if he isn’t able to compete within the next
few days, his chances of winning this year’s G1 are severely diminished.
Notes:
-Pretty good so far – more good
days/matches than forgettable ones
-Naito’s new attitude since joining Los
Ingobernables (CMLL stable) is awesome and it seems to be really working for
him
-Shibata is killing it but Block A is
still pretty murky with so much top talent
-The head butt from Tenzan that busted
open Yano’s head was crazy
-Elgin has been doing really well and
the crowds are responding to him a lot more than I thought they would
-Too bad we didn’t get Elgin vs Nakamura
but if there’s one Elgin match I and the rest of the net are looking forward
to, it’s Elgin vs Ishii.
-Honma STILL hasn’t gotten a win somehow
