Ember Moon vs. Dakota Kai

Kai gets the upper hand after getting an arm bar through the ropes inthe corner, starts targeting Ember’s shoulder as a result

Ember hits a power bomb and starts fighting with one arm

Ember goes hard with a kick to the head, then a suicide dive that hits and another that misses as we get our first COMMERCIAL CLIFFHANGER

They trade blows in the middle of the ring on their knees, Ember offers up a FREE SHOT which she turns into a crossface, Kai rolls it over, Ember rolls that over, again, Kai counters into an arm bar on Ember’s injured shoulder

Amber gets the rope, but kai takes days to let go

Ember blows up on Kai, kills her with forearms, kicks, other strikes, a huge right punch in the corner

Raquel distracts the ref, Kai takes advantage, hits GTK for the WIN

Cameron Grimes Interview

He’s clearly not over the match last week, but he keeps claiming he is, this week he takes on KUSHIDA, then he runs when he sees a ref says its a zombie

Shotzi Interiview

She gets to choose her own opponent, and chooses Toni Storm, WELCOME TO BALL PIT

Cameron Grimes vs. KUSHIDA

Grimes has the early advantage, til KUSHIDA gets him in an arm lock, so he starts working over the arm

Grimes is a bit distracted, but he hits a big sit out power bomb to get some momentum

Up top, KUSHIDA gets an arm breaker from the top, Grimes ref bumps TWICE, KUSHIDA taps out Grimes, but the ref is gone, he goes to wake the ref, Grimes hits one of those spanish fly slam things, THE ZOMBIE REF SHOWS UP and Grimes runs away from him, to allow KUSHIDA to tap him out and Grimes runs away

***

Toni Storm talks about being a new toni storm, more aggressive, more tenacious, more toni, and shotzi picked the wrong person

Io Shirai video- what’s next her? There is one challenge she must face to show this is her NXT- Rhea Ripley

Drake Maverick/Killian Dain vs. EVER RISE!

Daina dn Drake have some decent offense, altho Dain still uses Drake as a weapon

PIP Kings of NXT show up (I think that’s what they’re called)

They interrupt the match, target Dain as Pat McAfee is on camera

Dunne gives Drake some Danielson Stomps

McAfee gets on the mic- we are the greatest four man team in the history of wrestling

The thing that makes us different is we are not scumbags, we have to pay tribute to undisputed era, tonight we will hang their banner in the rafters to commemorate an incredible run int he nxt we ended- he runs a slide show documenting their history- he brings up Roderick Strong turning on Dunne, which Dunne says taught him a lesson about trusting people

Danny Burch on the mic: we’ve been disrespected, now look at us

Pat: UE will never reach their level- they could do whatever they wanted- all it took was one run in with me- at TO30 Adam Cole beat me, but scumbag didn’t congratulate me, he talks Ridge, signing Oney, Danny and Pete- now it’s time for our reign to begin

They go to raise the banner - Pat says maybe we should vote on this, this is a democracy- if you’re in favor of raising the banner, say AYE (no one does) if you’d rather throw it in the trash can, say AYE, (they do)- the Pat says this banner belongs in the trash like Vic Joseph’s face

As they leave, Dain attacks Pat outside their SUV, Dunne kicks Dain’s head in the door, Pat seems freaked out about it a little bit- they get in, Pat says we’re the greatest, you suck, while Dain has blood EVERYWHERE

JOhnny Gargano at home- JOHNNY LOVES WHEELS all the wheels are coming up JOHNNY! More than wheels, I love making history- FIRST TRIPLE CROWN, FIRST TWO TIME NA CHAMPION

Scream calls- I’m in your house- Scream is sitting next to Johnny. He says next week he puts to bed the notion that he can’t defend his title successfully

He beats Scream at whatever game that was and does a dance

Toni Storm vs. Shotzi Blackheart

Shotzi comes running down with a head of steam, yelling at Toni for something, probably her tank, Shotzi botches a springboard something, commentary covers it well

Shotzi is extra emotional here, allowing Toni to keep an edge and counters every time Shotzi stages an offense

Shotzi hits a DDT over the ropes onto the apron

Shotzi beats the ref’s count at 9 (Toni was still on the outside)

Candice is on the tron, with Shotzi’s tank- Toni gets the rollup win as a result of the distraction

Candice gets in her hummer and drives over it, Scream is in the back seat

Shotzi is devastated, Toni tries to console her

**½

LDF are in the parking lot talking shit abotu Jake Atlas, he rolls up and attacks them with a baseball bat

THATCH!!!

REVERSALS!

Anyone can get lucky and catch a hold

He taps out the dude, then lets the dude take him down with a choke, then he reverses in an arm lock, til the guy taps, then he cranks it and the guy taps out more

The dude is pissed, Thatch says are you oka? do you need some water?

They run another routine, Thatch gets him in an ankle lock, and taps him out but doesn’t release

YOU HAVE TO BE PREPARED!

Hahaha Austin Grey from last week when he was Anthony/Andrews attacks Thatch and gives him a superkick

Xia Li interview

The letters are from her family- they said she needs to turn things around, and it’s not her business

Regal gives her another letter

She reads it, tells Regal she wants to challenge Raquel, because she dishonored her

Rhea Ripley video

Next week JOHN vs. ?? and Lorcan/Buch vs. Breezango

Dream (dressed in what he wore to the arena) vs. Ciampa

This match is like when we played against real 2K youtubers at the pre-release stuff we used to go to, and we chose Dream
