Xia Li vs. Cora Jade

Before the bell, Kacy/Kayden come out and yell to the ref/Boa about who Tian Sha is, that doesn’t stop Li from destroying Jade with a kick to the head

**

After the match, Kayden goes up to Sha, yells that this isn’t Xia, what have you done to her? Xia chucks Kayden off the stage, then Xia explains herself, begs for forgiveness, Boa, too, til Sha grabs him by the throat, then Xia goes up and beats on Kacy til Sha lets go.

Regal interview, he’s looking forward to matches tonight, he opens the door and Scarlett is in his office- she says I’m here, because if he comes, it won’t be good. Escobar, time’s up next week. Regal agrees to the match.

The Way hit the ring, JOHN is put on the top turnbuckle, they bring his wheelchair in for him

Austin carries him like a baby into the wheelchair

Johnny: What you see is the result of the attack by KUSHIDA- I was minding my own business, KUSHIDA attacked and broke my arm. Candice covers Johnny’s eyes while the tron plays of the attack, even tho he asked to be turned around. I’m a lefty and a power walker, now I can’t power walk so I’m in this wheelchair, even tho people know how I feel about wheels. Now I can’t defend my title at Takeover. Regal should suspend him indefinitely.

REGAL on the stage, they turn Johnny to the stage.

Regal: We’re supposed to be getting ready for the women’s Dusty match, the medical team cleared you yesterday.

Johnny shows off a fake x-ray of a broken arm, Regal calls him out on the fake, Gargano says it’s 100% real.

Regal says Theory can be your surrogate tonight and the NA title can be defended tonight with Austin as your surrogate, or you can forfeit. JOhn says give me a few months, I’ll do a beautiful day music video, KUSHIDA shows up with The Way just standing there.

Regal asks KUSHIDA, what do you think? HAHAHA Austin turns and smiles at KUSHIDA then double takes. So John lifts the title with his injured arm, then K punches him into the chair which falls backwards.

Shotzi and Ember make their entrance vs. Candice and Indi

Really cool moonsault from Candice onto a draped Ember assist from Indi

Candice hits Wicked Stepsister on Shotzi followed by Indi springboard elbow drop

Ember hits Eclipse on Candice, even tho Indi is lega, Candice lands in the firing line for a Senton from Shotzi, Indi covered Candice to take the brunt of the shot to protect Candice, but given that she’s legal, eats the pin

***½

Afterwards, Regal announces the winner gets a tag title shot

Ciampa/Thatcher sit down

Ciampa looks like he’d rather be at the DMV

Ciampa says GYV can call themselves whatever they want, we’re gonna win come sunday, class dismissed, then he goes home and watches WANDAVISION

Santos Escobar interview: Kross gave me the gift of time, but time is relative to each man. So I am giving HIM the gift of time. Raul and Wilde come in, they apologize for losing, Santos says don’t apologize, I never apologize, it’s a sign of weakness. There’s something you can do for me, pay someone a visit, he won’t make it to next week.

Rich Cameron Grimes pulls up in a Lambo this is immediately great, he pays the valets, handing out money to everyone.

Two months ago, that no good timothy thatcher laid me out, I was screaming and flailing!

I went home and thought about caving in Thatcher, I did have some down time, just like a normal man would do, I found video games, why do I even wrestle if I can play video games, I ran out and I found gamestop and when I opened those doors, those lights hit a little different, if there’s anything Grimes would put his money in, it would be a place like Gamestop, right place right time, it went to the MOON! Now I got so much money! He talks DOGECOIN, I never trusted a kitty cat, cuz if they got nine lives they must up to no good! Hey Regal, you think I’m gonna wrestle Lumis? Zombies? KISS MY GRITS! Money is power, and now, I’ve got so much money, it’s aint’ even funny, it’s hilarious!

Gargano interview: I am JOHNNY freaking TAKEOVER.
