Two title matches have been made official for this week’s post-Survivor Series edition of NXT.
WWE has announced that NXT Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish) will defend their titles against Keith Lee & Dominik Dijakovic on tomorrow’s show. Akira Tozawa will also challenge for Lio Rush’s NXT Cruiserweight Championship tomorrow night.
Team Ciampa (Tommaso Ciampa, Lee, Dijakovic & Kevin Owens) defeated The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Roderick Strong, O’Reilly & Fish) in the men’s WarGames match at NXT TakeOver on Saturday. Lee and Ciampa also represented NXT in the men’s elimination tag match at Survivor Series, with Roman Reigns last eliminating Lee to get the win for Team SmackDown.
Rush retained his Cruiserweight title in a triple threat match against SmackDown’s Kalisto and Raw’s Tozawa on the Survivor Series pre-show. He pinned Kalisto to win the match.
Rush’s win was one of the four brand vs. brand vs. brand matches that NXT won at Survivor Series. They won the night at the PPV, with SmackDown getting victories in two matches and Raw winning one.
Former NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival are returning to Full Sail University on Wednesday night.
WWE has announced that NXT Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Era (Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish) will face The Revival (Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder) in a non-title match on Wednesday’s NXT. It’s the go-home show for TakeOver: WarGames and the last episode of NXT before Survivor Series.
All four members of Undisputed Era interrupted The New Day’s SmackDown Tag Team title defense against The Revival this past Friday. After the show, The Revival cut a promo on O’Reilly & Fish and have been going back and forth with them on Twitter since.
O’Reilly & Fish will face The New Day (Kofi Kingston & Big E) and Raw Tag Team Champions The Viking Raiders (Ivar & Erik) in a non-title triple threat match at Survivor Series on Sunday. The Revival were originally announced for that match before dropping the SmackDown Tag Team titles to Kingston & Big E.
On last night’s Raw, Triple H cut a promo saying that there would be an “open door” for Raw and SmackDown on Wednesday’s NXT. Adam Cole will face Dominik Dijakovic in a ladder match for the WarGames advantage on the episode, and WWE has also announced a triple threat match between Pete Dunne, Damian Priest, and Killian Dain.
The winner of Dunne vs. Priest vs. Dain will challenge for Cole’s NXT Championship at Survivor Series.
The South of Heaven chokeslam got the win for Martinez.
– Dominik Dijakovic defeated Kona Reeves
Dijakovic finished this with Feast Your Eyes.
– Kairi Sane & Io Shirai defeated Aliyah & Vanessa Borne, Mia Yim & Xia Li, and Marina Shafir & NXT Women’s Champion Shayna Baszler in a four-way elimination tag match
Sane and Shirai submitted Borne and Aliyah with double submissions in the first fall. In the second fall, Baszler choked out Li.
Sane and Shirai hit a double team-assisted elbow drop and moonsault on Shafir to win.
– Mansoor Al-Shehail was cutting an in-ring promo about his dreams of being in WWE when he was interrupted by Adam Cole, who granted his own wish of having a match right now.
– Adam Cole defeated Mansoor Al-Shehail
Cole hit the Last Shot to the back of the head to win. Cole made it clear that he hates Tampa, with him not even doing the “Bay Bay” for the crowd.
– Kacy Catanzaro & NXT North American Champion Ricochet defeated Rhea Ripley & Shane Thorne
The crowd loved this match. It got “this is awesome” chants, and everyone played off of each other. Ricochet hit a great running Shooting Star Press. Catanzaro hit a few incredible moves, including a spinning stunner and a twisting splash. Great stuff.
– Jeet Rama defeated Riddick Moss
Rama got a roll-up victory over Moss.
– NXT Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Era (Roderick Strong & Bobby Fish) defeated Humberto Carrillo & Raul Mendoza to retain their titles
Excellent match. There were stereo dives to the outside by Carrillo and Mendoza, but Strong and Fish were just too much for them. Fish won with a knee strike. The crowd loved both teams and this match.
Babatunde ran wild and slammed Jaoude for the win.
– Matt Riddle defeated Luke Menzies
Menzies tried to slow the pace with holds and an abdominal stretch, Riddle was able to line up a knee strike to put him down.
– EC3 defeated Mansoor
EC3 got the victory after hitting the One Percenter.
– Mia Yim & Io Shirai defeated Jessamyn Duke & Marina Shafir by DQ
Baszler was originally set to face Yim one-on-one but wasn’t medically cleared after being cut last night in Ocala. She said her girls were ready though, and they surrounded the ring and jumped Yim before Shirai made the save and ran wild.
Yim and Shirai had the advantage until Baszler caused the disqualification. After the match, Yim challenged the Horsewomen for a trios match at the next Largo show.
– Heavy Machinery & Keith Lee defeated Kona Reeves & The Mighty
They did a lot of taunting and comedy stalling early. The crowd loved Heavy Machinery and Lee throughout. Otis Dozovic hit the caterpillar and Lee helped Tucker Knight set up the Trash Compactor for the finish.
Following the match, Lee even did the caterpillar as the crowd celebrated.
– The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) defeated The Forgotten Sons (Jaxson Ryker & Wesley Blake)
– Candice LeRae defeated Aliyah
LeRae won with the lionsault.
– Lars Sullivan defeated Raul Mendoza
There was a “Lars is gonna kill you” chant from the audience. Mendoza was great on offense, but Sullivan picked up the win. Sullivan came back after the match and dropped Mendoza with two Freak Accidents.
– NXT North American Champion Ricochet defeated Velveteen Dream to retain his title
Good match. Ricochet won with a cross-legged Michinoku driver.
Sane got the pin on Gonzalez after hitting the Insane Elbow.
– NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa defeated Kassius Ohno to retain his title
It was announced that William Regal made this a title match. They had a great match that went about 18 minutes. Ohno is awesome. Ciampa retained with a brutal rope-hung DDT.
– Johnny Gargano, Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch defeated The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole & NXT Tag Team Champions Kyle O’Reilly & Roderick Strong)
Gargano submitted Strong to get the win. Cole is so over.

The Medium News: Johnny Gargano offered to put his NXT career on the line to once again challenge Andrade “Cien” Almas for the NXT Championship.
The Little Beaver-sized News: Tino Sabbatelli & Riddick Moss may be breaking up. If you look up “little news” in the dictionary, this would be listed.
**********
Nigel McGuinness was back from his flu. Just want to point out that Percy Watson announced a five-star match and McGuinness has not.
**********
The Undisputed Era came out for the opener, in which they would defend the NXT Tag Team Championship. However, as all three members were preening to the camera, SAnitY (their opponents) assaulted them from behind. Security ran out to break everything up as Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly snuck away as Killian Dain laid out multiple security guards.
Mr. William Regal came out next and announced that all six men would take part in a tornado tag match in the main event. So for the second time in a month, SAnitY will not be getting their title match.
**********
Heavy Machinery defeated Tino Sabbatelli & Riddick Moss
SAnitY and Undisputed Era went to the back, so instead we got the next chapter in the ongoing rivalry between Heavy Machinery and Sabbatelli & Moss.
Moss got the heat on Tucker Knight by grabbing his tights from behind and using a lariat to the back of the head. Sabbatelli was greeted with “Tino sucks” chants, which surprised pretty much everyone since the heel duo is used to no reaction.
For some reason, Sabbatelli and Moss tagged each other exceptionally hard. Sabbatelli tried to use a roll-up with his feet on the ropes (which won them their last match), but the referee caught it and he got pinned by Knight after The Compactor.
After the match, Moss walked out on Sabbatelli. Someone should show these guys video tapes of Blake & Murphy and track what happened to that team in the ensuing two years after their break up. Meanwhile, their manager at the time, Alexa Bliss, has won four Women’s Championships on the main roster.
**********
Out came Johnny Gargano for the first time since his bout at TakeOver: Philadelphia where he came up short in his quest to conquer Andrade “Cien” Almas for the NXT Championship.
Gargano said he went into Philly more confident than ever. He saw himself winning and coming back here as champion. Unfortunately it didn’t happen, which sucks, but getting this overwhelming positive reaction from the fans and the respect it shows means more. It gave him the inspiration to pick himself back up and continue being Johnny Gargano.
He’ll never forget TakeOver, but will also never forget Tommaso Ciampa hitting him in the back with a crutch. He is coming for Ciampa and was in the middle of challenging him to come out when we were joined by Almas.
Zelina Vega asked him who cares if Gargano won everyone’s respect. There should be a parade with confetti for the champion. Gargano proved nothing — except that he is a loser. Almas has beaten him again and again and again. He is not Johnny Gargano, he is Johnny Loser. The fans began chanting for Candice LeRae, so Gargano mentioned his second favorite part of TakeOver was his wife beating the hell out of her.
Vega got up in Gargano’s face, so LeRae ran out and shoved her down. Almas bailed and the husband-wife duo was left standing tall.
Vega got on the stage and said they’ve beaten him three times. Gargano wants another title shot, and Vega said that if Gargano loses he must leave NXT. Gargano agreed to the challenge.
**********
Shayna Baszler said she is the most feared woman in NXT. There will not be a rematch with Ember Moon because Moon is scared. Baszler dared the press to go tell Moon she said that.
**********
Tyler Bate wasn’t happy that he didn’t beat Roderick Strong last week, but he said he’ll be watching when Strong challenges Pete Dunne next Wednesday. He also said he was happy to win Match of the Year last year and can’t wait to have more Match of the Years with everyone in NXT.
**********
Bianca Belair defeated Jessica Hill
Hill was trained by Dory Funk Jr and went one-on-one with The EST of NXT this week. Belair hit a Burning Hammer and a fallaway powerbomb, called the Alley-Oop, for the win in 30 seconds.
**********
A video package for Kairi Sane aired. She’s back to being the Pirate Princess, so I guess her enthusiasm for yachts has lessened in the last two weeks.
**********
Next week:
Aleister Black in action
Ember Moon vs. Shayna Baszler for the NXT Women’s Championship
Pete Dunne vs. Roderick Strong for the WWE United Kingdom Championship
Mauro Ranallo encouraged us to set our DVR for the UK title match. I’m not sure if he understands that the WWE Network isn’t on normal television.
**********
SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe & Killian Dain) defeated The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly) in a tornado tag team match
I’m not sure the order any of this was taped, but the fans were a lot more enthusiastic for these six guys at the start of the show than they were early on in this match. The match began with a wild six-way brawl, and the fans finally woke up five minutes in when Young pulled out the plunder.
As Dain mopped up the ringside area with Fish, Cole and O’Reilly separated Young and Wolfe from the pack and fought them through the backstage area. Fish did hit a beautiful moonsault to Dain. Unfortunately for Fish, his advantage didn’t last long and he began running away to get away from Dain. At this point, the other four returned from the backstage area, so Dain heaved Fish off the stage and onto everyone else.
As the match continued, Undisputed Era had no problem throwing around Wolfe and Young, but spent more time than not in flight when Dain got his hands on them. Cole discovered the best offense against Dain was to move out of the way, which was proven right when Dain went crashing through a table that Cole, seconds earlier, was propped against.
Back in the ring, Wolfe held his own for a second, but got superkicked and laid out with Total Elimination. Young was in with his kendo stick, but he got superkicked and laid out with a brainbuster on Cole’s knee. Dain got back in the ring and single-handedly destroyed all of Undisputed Era, pinning Fish with the Ulster Plantation.
So, that does it for this week. Will SAnitY ever get their title match? Until next week, remember to say your vitamins and take your prayers!
NXT returns to Center Stage in Atlanta for television tapings tonight and tomorrow, and two matches have been announced for next week’s TV.
Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly will defend their Tag Team Championship against Eric Young & Alexander Wolfe, with Adam Cole set to face Killian Dain. The storyline for the Tag Team title match is that SAnitY hasn’t challenged for the titles since losing them to Fish & O’Reilly in November. In a backstage angle last month, The Undisputed Era attacked SAnitY before they were scheduled to get their rematch.
SAnitY also got involved in Cole’s extreme rules match with Aleister Black at TakeOver: Philadelphia and helped even the odds against The Undisputed Era.
This week’s tapings will feature the follow-up to TakeOver: Philadelphia and some of the build to WrestleMania weekend. NXT will be back at Full Sail University on March 7th for the final tapings before TakeOver: New Orleans.
There will be a steel cage that surrounds two rings.
A member from each team will start the match, with there being three separate shark cages near the entranceway that the other wrestlers are put in before they enter.
After five minutes, the remaining two members from one team will be let out of their shark cage and into the ring. Following that, there will be a three-minute period until the next team’s wrestlers are let in. There will then be a final three-minute period until the last team’s members are allowed to join the match.
The match can be won by pinfall or submission once all of the teams have fully entered.
The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly), SAnitY (Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe & Killian Dain), and Roderick Strong & The Authors of Pain will be the three teams involved in War Games, which is the first time WWE has used the concept since acquiring WCW in 2001.
The Toyota Center in Houston, Texas will host NXT TakeOver: War Games on November 18th. Other matches that have been confirmed for the show are Drew McIntyre defending his NXT Championship against Andrade “Cien” Almas, Kairi Sane vs. Peyton Royce vs. Ember Moon vs. Nikki Cross for the vacant Women’s title, and Aleister Black vs. Velveteen Dream.
The show kicked off with the announcement, via Twitter, that Drew McIntyre will defend the NXT Championship against Andrade “Cien” Almas at TakeOver: Houston. They will sign the contract for that match tonight.
Nikki Cross defeated Taynara Conti
This was set up when Conti interfered in a four-way match a few weeks back, initially costing Cross a shot at joining the NXT Women’s title match at TakeOver before she won a battle royal to earn a spot last week. Conti was in the Mae Young Classic and is a judo black belt.
This broke down into a brawl quickly with them fighting on the outside almost immediately. Conti gained control once they got back in the ring with basic kicks and punches. Cross was smiling and begging to get hit more.
Cross took control and beat on Conti in the Tree of Woe. She then hit a draping DDT and a swinging fisherman’s neckbreaker to get the pin.
Mercedes Martinez was interviewed backstage following the battle royal last week. She was asked who would win the title at TakeOver. She wouldn’t give a winner, but she did say that Ember Moon would not win. Perhaps they’re setting those two up to feud following TakeOver.
Fabian Aichner defeated Johnny Gargano
These two were featured in 2016’s Cruiserweight Classic, though Aichner looks to have put on about 25 pounds of muscle since then. Gargano used technical mat wrestling to get the early advantage. Mauro Ranallo noted on commentary that Aichner is just the second Italian-born wrestler to be under WWE contract, after Bruno Sammartino.
Aichner took control after catching Gargano on a pescado and slamming him into an outside barricade. After a commercial break, they went back and forth in the ring with Gargano selling his ribs as the crowd chanted “Johnny Wrestling.”
Gargano got a near fall after hitting his cool-looking springboard spear. Aichner missed a double springboard moonsault and Gargano hit a springboard DDT for another two count. Aichner hit a backbreaker/powerbomb combo but only got two.
Aichner hit another backbreaker but missed a moonsault. He then countered a Gargano Escape into an abdominal stretch pin to get the win. This was a very good TV match. Gargano looked despondent In the ring following the loss.
McIntyre was backstage with William Regal signing the contract for the title match at TakeOver. A promo video also played for Aleister Black vs. Velveteen Dream in Houston.
Earlier today, The Street Profits were fawning over a Maserati in the parking lot at Full Sail. Turns out, it belonged to Tino Sabbatelli and Riddick Moss. They went back and forth verbally, likely setting up a future match between the teams.
McIntyre was out with his signed contract, but he was attacked by Almas before he could get to the ring. Almas signed the contract and then stuck it to the downed body of the NXT Champion with gum from Zelina Vega.
The Iconic Duo were interviewed backstage earlier today. Peyton Royce was upset that Billie Kay won’t be in the Women’s title match at TakeOver. They were making fun of Kairi Sane until she interrupted their interview in her pirate costume and walked away smiling. Sane and Billie Kay will meet on NXT TV next week.
NXT Tag Team Champions SAnitY and The Authors of Pain went to a no contest
Eric Young and Alexander Wolfe were the combination defending the belts this week, with there being loud chants for SAnitY prior to the match. Young started off for his team and Wolfe was holding the tag rope in his mouth, which I’m not sure I’ve ever seen before.
SAnitY took control early by cutting off the ring until AOP gained the upper hand after slamming Wolfe into their own corner. AOP trapped Wolfe there by mostly using clobbering offense to keep control.
Wolfe eventually got the hot tag after several minutes of that. Young ran wild on both members of AOP, then hit a Randy Savage elbow drop for a near fall. After another two count when SAnitY double-teamed AOP, it became a four-way brawl.
AOP hit the Super Collider and the Last Chapter on Young, but the pin was broken up by The Undisputed Era. Killian Dain came out to help his stablemates until he was quickly downed by the triple-teaming of Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly.
Roderick Strong sauntered down to the ring and teased joining Undisputed Era, even putting on their armband, but he turned on them and quickly got triple-teamed. The Authors of Pain came to help him and Cole bailed, quickly followed by Fish and O’Reilly.
William Regal was out and announced the return of War Games for TakeOver. It will be The Undisputed Era vs. SAnitY vs. Strong & The Authors of Pain in a three-team War Games match.

– The Street Profits defeated Tino Sabbatelli & Riddick Moss
The Street Profits were extremely over. Most of the match was the heels working on Montez Ford, who just oozes charisma. Angelo Dawkins got the hot tag and the Profits won with a spinebuster and frog splash.
– Marcel Barthel (the former Axel Dieter Jr. in wXw and PROGRESS) came out for an in-ring promo. He said that he came to America to make it better and that no one can do what he does on the mat. Oney Lorcan then interrupted him and challenged him to a match, but Barthel refused and said he has the perfect opponent for Lorcan.
– Lars Sullivan defeated Oney Lorcan
This was similar to the match they had that recently aired on NXT TV. Sullivan won with a diving headbutt.
– Ruby Riot defeated Sonya Deville
Most of the match was Deville working on Riot’s knee, but Riot won with a diving senton.
– Heavy Machinery defeated Steve Cutler & Wesley Blake
This was a fun comedy match and Heavy Machinery got a good reaction. They won with their double team strongest slam.
The Undisputed Era attacked Heavy Machinery after the match, leaving them laying and cutting a promo. Adam Cole said that we would see that they are untouchable and undisputed later in the night.
– Velveteen Dream defeated Roderick Strong
They had a very entertaining match with lots of back-and-forth action. Velveteen Dream countered Strong’s slam with an arm drag first and then a poke to the eye. Dream ended up winning with the Purple Rainmaker.

Jose went into the crowd for his entrance. Reeves spent time outside the ring mocking Jose during the match, but Jose won with his pop-up punch. Jose briefly danced with referee Jessika Carr after the match.
– Ember Moon defeated Mandy Rose
This was short but entertaining, with Moon hitting a superkick for the win.
– The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish & Kyle O’Reilly) defeated NXT Champion Drew McIntyre, Kassius Ohno & Johnny Gargano
The main event was the match of the night by far. Gargano also got the best reaction of the night.
The Undisputed Era cheated throughout the match. Gargano made the hot tag to McIntyre at one point, with Cole and McIntyre having a quick staredown before Cole tagged out. McIntyre then ran through Fish and O’Reilly.
Things began to break down with the faces delivering stereo chops to The Undisputed Era on the outside. For the finish, Fish made a blind tag in, Gargano hit O’Reilly with a slingshot spear, Cole took out Gargano and McIntyre took out Cole, and Fish rolled up Ohno and got the pin with a handful of tights.
As Cole, Fish, and O’Reilly were celebrating, Heavy Machinery returned to join in on sending The Undisputed Era packing to close the show.
There were approximately 300 people in attendance tonight.

The Big News: No one is safe from The Undisputed Era! The show once again ended with Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly standing tall over a beaten foe, this time laying out Wolfgang.
The Medium News: Minutes before that, Wolfgang came up short in his shot at dethroning Pete Dunne as WWE United Kingdom Champion.
The Little Beaver-sized News: Nikki Cross turned babyface as she teamed with Ruby Riot to defeat The Iconic Duo.
Mr. Regal told Riot last week to get a tag team partner because he wouldn’t sanction a handicap match, but Riot didn’t get one, so this began as a handicap match anyway.
A minute into the match, with Kay and Royce having the advantage, Cross crept out from the backstage area to observe things. Kay accidentally hit Royce with a punch to the face, which led to Riot’s comeback. As Riot began fighting, Cross jumped onto the ring apron and tagged herself in, which apparently is perfectly legal.
The fans loved this as Cross destroyed both Kay and Royce, laying Kay out with a twisting fisherman’s suplex. Cross tagged out to Riot and left the ringside area before Riot pinned Kay with a top rope senton.
**********
We got a recap of Johnny Gargano’s altercation with Tino Sabbatelli and Riddick Moss in the Performance Center from last week. This led to the announcement of a match later tonight.
**********
Backstage, No Way Jose called Lars Sullivan a freak. Jose was just trying to fiesta with the fans in Brooklyn when Sullivan attacked him. He also brought up Sullivan laying him out last week and challenged him to a match next week.
**********
Johnny Gargano defeated Riddick Moss
Moss was the one to accept the challenge, and he had Sabbatelli in his corner. These three and Tommaso Ciampa had a tag team match back in May, which was DIY’s last match on television before breaking up.
Moss spent the first few minutes ragdolling Gargano, then Johnny Wrestling tried to get something going before running face-first into Moss’ massive elbow. Moss beat on him for close to five minutes until he made the mistake to bellow that Gargano is nothing without DIY, which spurned Gargano’s comeback.
Sabbatelli tried interfering, but it was to no avail as Gargano managed to lock on the Gargano Escape. Moss powered his way to the ropes, which befuddled Gargano. Gargano pulled himself together and won with a slingshot spear.
**********
The Street Profits defeated The Ealy Brothers
I hope the importance of Montez Ford’s Solo Cup is explained one day. Their opponents this week were the returning Ealy Brothers: Gabriel & Uriel. The Ealys are not only winless on TV, but they also once upon a time got destroyed by a rampaging Samoa Joe.
Uriel started with the biggest heat you can imagine: he stole Angelo Dawkins’ headband! That fiend. After that — it was on. They gave both Ealys the Midnight Express leapfrog on the ropes, but they got a brief heat segment on Ford before Dawkins tagged back in. The Profits then won with their combination spinebuster/frog splash before celebrating in the crowd.
**********
Up next was a video package looking at the entire two year run of the undefeated, undisputed, all-time record holder NXT Women’s Champion: Asuka.
This led to Mr. Regal stating that he has a lot of things to think over, but he will let us know in the next few weeks what will happen in regards to the title
**********
Aleister Black will do a promo next week.
**********
Christy St. Cloud interviewed Wolfgang, who said he’s never been more ready for a match in his life. He beat Tyler Bate a few weeks ago and tonight will take the UK title from Pete Dunne.
Dunne refused a promo a few minutes later.
**********
WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne defeated Wolfgang to retain his title
Dunne and Wolfgang teamed together to defeat Moustache Mountain last month. Before that match, Wolfgang had told Dunne that he wanted a title shot — so here we go. I know I say this every time he wrestles, but Dunne is a star. It cannot be said enough how much that Chicago match with Tyler Bate made him a bigger star to the US crowd.
Wolfgang was content with trying to outwrestle the champion, but Dunne decided to battle back with punches and a DDT on the ring apron, which is the hardest part of the ring. Back in the ring, Dunne slapped on a double wristlock, but Wolfgang powered out of it and turned it into his own suplex.
Wolfgang moved like a cruiserweight as he used a tope and a lionsault, but Dunne fought back with an Ex Plex. Wolfgang came back and went for a Swanton, but Dunne got his knees up and turned it into an armbar. Finally, Dunne finished off his foe with the Bitter End. This was probably the worst of the UK title matches, but it was still really good.
Just when you thought the show was over, out ran The Undisputed Era! Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, and Kyle O’Reilly confronted Dunne. Dunne got in one punch before being beaten by all three men. Wolfgang ran in for the save, but he got overwhelmed as well.
Dunne, who was saved by his former partner…turned around and walked away. He teased returning to the ring, but it was only for his championship belt. Cole finished off Wolfgang with a superkick before leaving through the crowd. Tyler Bate and Trent Seven ran down to check on Wolfgang as the show went off the air.
Mr. Regal informed Cole, Fish, and O’Reilly last week that there would be no more out-of-the-ring attacks, so they followed his orders and still caused chaos in the process.
So, that does it for another fun week at Full Sail. Until next Wednesday, remember to say your vitamins and take your prayers!
