Tony Khan is Everywhere

the Sports Byeline Broadcasting Network. And however you're joining me today, tune in, I heart American Forces Radio Sports Byeline dot Com over the area, over the air affiliates even like mightyar ten ninety Sirius x M one via podcast or streaming on Twitch or on YouTube. Just like say thank you for joining me and spending a little bit of time. It is Wednesday, you know what that means a whole

lot of news to get into. And I think we have reached the point where the Vince McMahon News Watch is officially over with now, not to say that we're not going to get more news on Vince McMahon and n d a's and unpaid moneys and all sorts of things, uh, stemming from the w w E boards investigation, But it certainly seems as if since this last round where there was five million dollars that was unreported that was donated to the Trump Foundation for Donald Trump's involvement in the

Bobby lashly Umaga hair versus hair match with Vince McMahon back at Rustlemania, way back a long time ago. Seems ever since then things have truly quieted down. So what are we going to do for news? Thank god, there's Tony con who will appear on radio shows to hype up tonight's a W Dynamite. He did his appearance on Busted Open and spoke a little bit about the CM Punk Hangman page controversy that has been swirling around that company.

And we have news that has broken on the tonight with a e W. There's going to be a talent meeting and we'll get into some of the details about that Fightfull Select has reported that that there is going

to be talent meeting before tonight's show. I don't know if it's going to be an airing of the grievances or not, but we'll get into the details on that, as well as a whole bunch of other stuff and professional wrestling right now, not the least of which is the vaunted n x D two point Overview, which is going to be coming at you Tiffany Stratton, Wendy to Lights Out made Event, get into all that stuff we get back from break Wrestling Observer Live anyway having sex

and God, nobody see us as the windows got well, blame shot around. It's gonna be Oh, welcome back to the show. Wrestling Observer Live. Mike Senter VV here with you. The Big boss Man Brian Alvarez is off today, which is good for him. He wouldn't want him to hear what was taking place during the commercial break. Producer Tom. It's just definitely a terrible, terrible influence for all those uh who are listening out there to Sports Byeline for

actual sports radio. Well, hopefully you're not a fan of the Pittsburgh Pirates for many many reasons, not the least of which is you're losing now fourteen to nothing. Uh in the uh the bottom of the eighth inning here to the Atlanta Braves, Tarly matt Olsen hit a ball into the Allegheny River. So not good for you right now,

Detroit on top of San Francisco. Six nothing for those people listening out in the Bay Area our home here on Sports Byeline, But we don't talk about baseball here on this show, No we talk about professional wrestling, and when he comes to Wednesdays, it's Tony Conde. That man is everywhere. I don't know if he is uh sniped at Josh Nason yet our own Josh Nason about anything he may have tweeted out there. Tony loves doing this stuff. I know some people think that he's crazy. He may be,

but he's a promoter. That's what he does. And I did a solo show on Friday when a lot of the news was breaking and coming out about CM punk and his Wednesday night promo where he was going to hype up and did hype up the upcoming match with John Moxley, but had to make sure to get in some shots there on an old hangman page. And that led to a whole bunch of speculation and controversy and conjecture and actual reporting. It's just been all over the

place when he comes to that stuff. But there was a part of me that is thinking, you know, for anything that's true about any of this stuff, there's probably a nice thick layer of pro wrestling that is being iced across that cake. And I don't know if anything I've heard today has changed my mind on that, and I guess we will begin at the beginning. UM see him. Punk has addressed rumors regarding that promo last week. He

did so in an interview with Sports Illustrated. It was tied in with this website, and Punk was asked if he was creatively fulfilled in a W. His response was, yes, you try not to put too much stock in Internet rumors, but for a W I definitely think that's a part of our audience. Twitter is not real life though. On top of that, a lie makes its way around the world twice before the truth puts its boots on or gets out of bed. He's just mixing them all up there,

uh he. Punk also addressed reports at backstage friction in the company, uh, noting what has been made public is just quote one side of the story. It's one side of the story. Punk said. My locker room is never closed. It's always open. Anybody who wants the d M meltzer some bs can come talk to me about it. It's not Macho's stupid bs. I'm an adult. Come talk with me. Punk also addressed reports that he went off script what

he called out Hangman page on Dynamite last week. He said his motivation behind the promo was to quote, make people see what happens next and sell tickets. That's what I'm here to do, make people want to see what happens next. I'm trying to sell tickets to the live events. That goes back to me saying Twitter isn't the real world. Twitter is a bunch of people that really don't care about your opinion. They want to find like minded opinions

that share their worldview. I'm trying to tell stories, sell tickets, and get people to tune into Dynamite A President. Tony Khan was on Busted Open Radio today on Sirius XM and also addressed Punk's comments towards Hangman, saying that Punk has unresolved anger towards hanging Man Page and talking about Punk's promo last week that set up Wednesday's title Unified

Asian match between Punk and interim champion John Moxley. Cohn was asked about Punk dragging Page into it, and he says he thinks it's unresolved anger from the world title Matchet Double or Nothing. We haven't really tied up all those issues. There was clearly some stuff that didn't get

resolved at Double or nothing MHM. Dave Meltzer obviously reported afterwards that that promo was not planned and came as a surprise to everybody, said there was no plan for punk and page two it all out boy, A lot of that all just sounds like pro wrestling there, doesn't it. But then we got this report also today from Fightfull Select. It was reporting that some things are going to be addressed today when it comes to the locker room and

Tony Khan, and there's a mandatory talent meeting. Apparently Tony Khan will be present, but not many other details at this point are known. The talent, from what they are hearing, expects it to address some of the rumors of unrest and contract inquiries and personal issues and leaks and all that sort of stuff, But again no details right now on what exactly is going to be going down. There's a lot of talent that is there, but it's not like all of the talent was flown in for this

mandatory meeting. One person who I don't believe is there because I believe he's still in the UK is Cult Capana, who has been whether he wants to or not, at the middle seemingly of all of this stuff. He's been over in the UK doing some wrestling commentary based comedy I guess would be the right way to put it. He and another gentleman are doing UH bad comedy about

bad wrestling. Is they do commentary I guess on some stuff that they watched his Mystery Science Theater or three thousand like if they believe punks done that multiple times before. So that show is on the road and I don't believe that he is there, but I guess everybody that's in Cleveland tonight UH is going to have to hash out their issues and we'll see what the some of the reporting is from that to Obviously, Fight is gonna stay on it. We here with Dave Meltzer and Brian

Alvarez are going to be on it. They are going to be up after Dynamite, way after Dynamite, probably about five am Eastern time on Thursday morning. Dave Meltzer will have his full wrap up in review of a W Dynamite, including anything he hears today as well as anything he hears after the show goes off the air, so you can look forward to that. For subscribers of the website tomorrow, there will be clips up surely for free for all

your freeloaders out there over at YouTube dot com. Uh, there should be some stuff up there, So we'll just have to see what happens here. Oh yeah, they're they're building to an all out pay per view that they don't have a whole lot of matches for. So last week's show I thought was good, especially a book ended incredibly well. I thought that first hour was fantastic. Let's see what they got for tonight. Uh. John Moxley and cmpunk a w world title. They decided to go ahead

with this at the last minute. According to Fightful Select and another report that came out today, Moxley was all in favor of the mood of including one source saying it was his idea to move the match to Cleveland. Uh and eventually this is the quote here quote eventually see him Punk agreed to it. Uh end quote We haven't learned. Uh. This is according to Fightful. If this was connected to any of the reported issues with cm

punk last week, so grab cities. Will Washington had noted on his show that there was an idea a few days ago to increase ticket sales and add buzz to the Cleveland show. I didn't wasn't not checking on ticket sales for it. So I'm not sure exactly where it sits right now, but obviously hopefully for their sake. If they were having an issue with ticket sales, putting John Moxley and CM Punk in the world title match on

this show would probably be a good idea. And who knows where they go with this, I mean, on paper, in my opinion, right now, it would feel like we're going to have a non finish tonight, which leads into all out, could we have Hangman Page stick his nose in, want his rematch? And all this stuff kind of dovetails together and we get that, I guess we could do you want to water down a possible singles match with punkin Page by doing something like that? Now, I guess

that's a debatable as well too. But they need a good show tonight, and I don't think that the pay per view is going to be suffering too much from anything that's been going on now. I don't think that they're hard cores have turned on them, that everybody now is looking the w W A E Wave and going I'm done with this stuff. I'm back on Ron SmackDown and I'm ready for Clash at the Castle to hell with all out. I don't think that's really gonna happen here.

I think everybody that's gonna buy that pay per view is going to do it. But there seems to be a lot of concern from a lot of observers out there that a W is a little cold right now. We'll see if any of this works. We'll get into the details of the show as well as a lot more when we get back from break Rusting Reserve Alive. Welcome back to the show Wrestling Observer Alive here on the Sports Filine Broadcasting Network. My name is Mike Semper.

Babe Brian Alvarez is off today. He will be back with me tomorrow to review everything that takes place tonight during a e w's Dynamite. You know, we do this show right here for an hour at a time, but if you want to try to get out of seven, you can find us on Twitter. I am at Semper VV. The timeline for this show is at w O n F four W the broadcasters at Sports Byline USA and if you love pro wrestling at mid Atlantic pod So.

I do my cleansing here of everything. I gotta deal with on this show when it comes to the news and on paper, Tonight's a W Dynamite show is a good one. C him Punk and John Knoxley, obviously for the Undisputed a W Championship. We'll see if that kicks off the show, if it main events the show. Do they put it on right at the the hour crossover, especially if you're not going to have a clean finish or this is actually going to lead towards all out.

We'll see exactly where they decide to go ahead and put this thing. They got some other really good stuff on here, not the least of which is the a W Trio's quarter final between Death Triangle, poc Penta and Ray Phoenix against will Osprey and Aussie opened the United Empire over from New Japan Pro Wrestling. Will Osprey had one hell of a g one climax tournament, as everybody knows, losing to Okada in the finals. He and Aussie opened in there against Death Triangle. Those guys are going to

be flying all over the place. That is going to be surely a fantastic match, as well as Dax Hardwood and Jay lethal Is. I bet you're going to be a fantastic match, just in a completely different way twenty minutes of those guys going at it, exchanging holes. I know J Lethal, he is a certainly a polarizing figure. There's people like me and Brian Elpress examples, big fans of watching J Leathal go out there and work. My partner on the I'm in my big audio nightmare, Adam

Summers and not so much. And I know there's a lot of people interact with on the forum online. He doesn't do anything for me, doesn't work for me. Eve been around too long, all that sort of stuff. I'll wash on all that. Tonight, Saw Harwood and J Leathal are gonna put on a wrestling clinic. I would be pretty sure of that and probably going to end up leading with the leading into Sottenham Singh and Sanjay Dudd getting involved, which will lead to Cash Wheeler, big Ass

Wardlow back home in Cleveland getting involved as well. Billy

Gunn against Colton gun Father births son Um. I can see it with and again, there's a lot of matches that still need to be announced for the pay per view, but I'm starting to wonder if Billy Gunn and the Acclaimed against Colton Gunn and Austin Gunn or that match Colton gun and Austin Gunn against the Acclaimed isn't going to be one of the pre show matches uh leading into the pay per view Britt Baker against Kylien King tonight as well, and Ricky Starks is going to speak

and Chris Jericho and Daniel Garcia are going to have a face to face and I thought that was official last week and Jericho challenged him, but it wasn't actually made official until yesterday, uh where or on social media Tony Cohn in a w announced that it was going to be taking place. This all stems from last week when Garcia lost the two out of three falls match

to Brian Danielson. Uh he prevented Jericho from laying the boots to Danielson more after the match, and Jericho wants to know where Garcia stands when it comes to the Jericho Appreciation Society. So this is all from the Wolstein Center in Cleveland, Ohio, one week away from All Out four and again hopefully we have a lot better vision on where we're going to be going for that show. A little bit of ratings news here Monday nights. W

W RAW on USA. This came out right after we got off the air yesterday, very very good number, two million viewers on average of one percent from the week prior. UH finished with two point o o five million viewers. As far as cable went, RAW was the second amongst people eighteen and forty nine with a point five five rating about seven and seventeen thousand viewers. If you include

broadcast television, it ranked a third. The Bachelor on ABC was the top ranked show over on Monday night, point seven six and people eighteen to forty nine in an audience of over three point three million people on average. On cable, the ESPN broadcast of the Jets Falcons game was the top thing on cable, finishing in a point six one and eighteen to forty nine and two point

to eight nine million viewers overall. But w W E has been really holding their own and again slowly trying to chip away and slowly stay at over two million viewers all the time. And it's gonna be tough here now that we are in the football season, or damn near it. UH. The only demos were WW finished behind

any other cable show. We're Women between the ages of twelve and forty nine, which was won by v H one's Hip Hop Love and Hip or VACH one's Love and Hip Hop Atlanta, which was on from eight to nine Eastern, although it should be noted that Rod did beat the two episodes of Love and Hip Hop Miami which followed that episode, and beat them across the board.

Eight PM two point oh six million viewers, the second hour two point oh four million viewers on average, and ten PM one point nine two million viewers, As was noted on the Wrestling Observer front page on Tuesday afternoon by Dave Meltzer, Raw avoided the big third hour drop that they have been noted for for quite some time, and it was really impressive in several categories. Women from eighteen to forty nine, we're up from our I'm sorry eight Women eighteen to forty nine were down uh from

our one hour three. But men were up, which is where women twelve to thirty four we're up. Men twelve to thirty four we're up. That's apparently very unusual. So people over fifty were down ten percent. Hopefully all of them turned out for n x D two point oh last night. So amongst younger malor demos. The Third Hour ended up being a big success. Obviously Edge and Damien East and uh that did that have anything to do with it? Likely? You know, you got a big match

in edges hometown. People probably thought something was gonna go down. So good times right now for w w E. Uh again the even there, And this blows my mind because I usually don't look at like the shows. I don't really even think about the Legend show, the whole A and E lineup on Sundays. It blows my mind that A and he has got a Sunday w w E lineup.

But the Edge documentary on Sunday, the biography that they had four hundred and fifty three thousand viewers, which was down big apparently, you know, down a quarter of the people that that watched the one on d X. But you look at that four fifty three number, you compare it to the what four seventy that Rampage got on Friday night, and it's like, man, you know, when you look at those kind of numbers, it's I don't know, it was just kind of surprising. Blows my mind that

smack talk, maybe I knew about this. Smack talk is still being aired. It's the third uh part of that lineup, which also features w W E rivals Smack Talk A hundred forty four thousand viewers on average, about fifty two thousand between the hes of eighteen and forty nine ranked show on Cable if you include broadcast primetime TV A hundred and thirty. I had no idea that that show was the capper of Sunday night's programming on A and E. I have no idea what they even talk about on

that show. Not a clue. This has become that UH w W E show that Brian's got no idea about that's on Peacock in the network. Uh So, I not a clue here when it comes to those shows, but a lot of people are watching them, including that Legends biography show, which is many people watches Friday Night Rampage and Rampage obviously is going to have the six man coming up to the more pieces coming together for the tree House Tournament. Obviously we're gonna find out more tonight.

UH to lead into Friday, I'm gonna switch gears here to New Japan as Alex Coglan was announced and then pulled from the upcoming NUCH Fan Pro Wrestling Burning Spirit Tour, which is taking place between September two and the twenty five. Coglan was announced to face kose Fujita on the very first night in Yokohama, but took the social media to say that he's not quite ready yet. He tweeted, sorry if anyone got excited, but there was some sort of mis communication. I won't be ready to return to the

ring for a little while longer. Recovery is going well though, I'm doing everything I can. I will be back, though, and I will be back stronger than ever eventually. Cogland has not wrestled since June, when he teamed with the d k C, Kevin Knight and yuya Uemura in a losing effort against Max Castor and the Gun Club during the Forbidden Door pay per view pre show. And when the or begins, it's actually going to be the d k C who takes his place in that show opener

against Fijita. And I would assume that this was a honest mistake, but you remember Koda Obushi's comments from a few months ago talking about how New Japan advertising him and was advertising him for matches. They absolutely knew that not only he could not work, but they would not be able to pressure him into working. And I don't think that's the case here with ax Coglan, but apparently some sort of miscommunication went down there. But he will

not be a part of that upcoming tour. But there will be cheering that's going to be coming up and DDT has long ago opened up their fan base to cheering. New Japan has announced that they are going to be allowing vocal vocalization I guess you could say at their show, and now Pro Wrestling Noah has followed suit. They announced a couple of days ago that, beginning on August thirty,

cheering and return to the shows. The company is still requesting that fans wear masks is and practice proper social distancing. And uh, it's nice to see all of that falling because I know there are some people that will hold steadfast and say I concentrate so much on the action inside the ring. That performance is one of them. There for the crowd is nice, but it's not essential. And that's true. You can you know, we we've watched fights

for years on The Ultimate Fighter. They can be great fights, but there's something about having that whole crowd cheering. There's something about having that instant reaction. There's something about having all of that stuff. That's why professional wrestlers love to perform, and that's why it's hard for them to walk away, because it's the spotlight, it's the reaction, it's being able to take people on a journey in the way that they want to and thankfully that's coming back to Japan.

Seems to be all good here in the States, and as we go into the fall and winter season, who fully it stays that way. You know what's next the n x T two point overview when we get back Wrestling Hims are alive, back on the show Wrestling Observe alive, Mike Simper be be here with you. And of course, if Brian Alvarez isn't going to be here, it's probably going to be on a Wednesday when it's time to review an x T two point oh on the the

USA Network at the Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. And boy, let's take the last thing first, Producer, John, if you could please put this picture up there of of Tiffany Stratton here and I mean, my god, look at her here. Hold on, I gotta bring this up myself here, Tiffany Stratton gotta makeover before the n x T show yesterday with these these these braids that she has here, and look that that is. That is certainly uh that that's

certainly a decision um to to make. But I wonder to myself, is that the worst cultural appropriation that professional wrestling has ever given us? Mm hmmm, I don't know, Yeah, yeah, maybe not. Sorry, boss Man, appreciate you. Producer John, Hopefully you're still here tomorrow. Let's believe it. Non producer Dom Brian will be so upset he he won't know what name is which. So the show opens up, But then I see JP and braun Breaker coming down to the

ring and cutting a promo. He mentioned his match last week against j D McDonagh before immediately calling out the n x t U K champion Tyler Bait. They also put McDonough over before getting down to business that he was the first n x t U K champion and he'll be the last. With n x T Europe around

the corner. He feels that there's no way to better kick that off than to unify the two championships, and long story, short Breaker agreed challenged him for a title vers title match in two weeks and n x T Worlds Collide, and the segment ended with a two facing off against each other holding up their belts. A video package on Gallus then played, which led in their n x T Tag Team title match with Josh Briggs and

Brooks Jensen. But his Briggs and Jensen were about to head to the ring, we went to the back where the pair was helping to break up a fight between Fallon Henley and lash Legend before they all headed to the ring after commercial. Eventually the champions made their way out, So this version of Gallus in the tag match was Wolfgang and Mark Coffee with Joe Coffee, who I believe was wearing Sergio Tuccini. I believe that's what that logo was.

Outside the ring, first two and a half minutes of the match was Gallas beating down Jensen until he was able to make a hot tag and was able to clear the ring, but we went to picture and picture. By the time we were back in full screen, Jensen was being beaten down again. At exactly the eight minute mark, we got another hot tag and that was at the beginning of the end. Briggs ran wild for a bit, but then lash Legend came back down to the ring

started getting into it with Henley. When Briggs and Jensen went out to break it up, they were jumped by pretty deadly, and the referee is standing there and does not call for the bell at all. Nothing. And I thought the rule was if somebody from the outside attacked somebody who wasn't in the match, the match continues. But if somebody comes from the back and attacks somebody in

the match, then we've got a disqualification. We don't get that. Instead, as those six brawl to the back, he counted breaks and Jensen out, So at the eighth minute mark Gallos complained to the raft. They were jumped by Diamond Mind the Creed brothers and Damian Kemp were the ones who actually did the jumping, while Robert Strong was on the outside cheering him on. They sent Gallas packing went to

another break. When we got back, we got a segment with Chase you andre a. Chase introduced a guest student that they met when the whole college went to the UK. It's Charlie Dempsey. And as soon as this guy comes on screen, You're like, okay, And I wasn't watching the n X t U K. I completely forgot that this guy was signed. This man is schooled and the catches catchkan tradition as well. He should be because his real

name is Bailey Matthews. He's the son of Darren Matthews, better known as William Regal And damn does this guy not look like a professional wrestler. Man. I don't know what his experience level is. I have not seen him before, but this dude, if nothing else, has got the look down. And this whole thing was really cheesy at times. It's Chase you, so there was some cheese involved with the reactions.

Shots of the students of Dempsey tearing people up. He quickly tapped one out before beating up on Bodie Hayward, including snatching his nose while he was in a choke. Chase broke him up. Told Dempsey then maybe they got the wrong guy to come in and do a demonstration. Dempsey called the class off and told him to do some homework by googling Billy Robinson. So probably gonna get

Dempsey and uh and Bodie again. If not Uh Dempsey and uh Andre Chase and you know he's in this role now and he's been you know again, every time I see Andre Chase Russell, I remember, you know how good he is and how fun it is to actually watch him. So a match between these two, I'm gonna be all four. Then it was time for the Grayson Waller Effect, his new talk show segment. So he's on the cutting edge of content innovation. While other shows may

be about the guest, this one's all about him. He then brings out Apollo Cruise and Paulo calls him a low budget version of the news, which the crowd chanted at Waller. Waller asked him how he feels to go home and tell his kids that daddy couldn't cut it on Mondays and Friday. So now he's back in n XT and thinking to myself, man, he really kind of ran down n XTI there, you don't really want to do that. Sure it's developmental, but do you really want

to give that impression? But Cruise did a good job shooting back on him and saying that he tells his kids that on both of those days he's been a champion and when he comes to be Tuesday's soon enough, he'll be a champion there too, And he punched Waller in the face and rolled out. This was a lot of this went on for a while to probably went on pardon me for too long, but Waller was is really good at what he does, and he's going to

be He and Carmelo Hayes. I would think at some point Tiffany Stratton will get to her a little later on, throw her in the mix of some of the names that are down there right now who you would think could be ready to go to the main roster. And I'm not saying Tiffany Stratton is ready by work Rise or Grayson Waller for that matter. They could absolutely stand

to use more time. But you look at the packages of all three of those people, and it's really hard to not to believe that they look he was up there already with a J. Styles, and in fact, he mentioned that, you know, reference that in the deal that he did to air when AJ Styles came down to wrestle him on the next t TV. It's gonna be sooner rather than later before he ends up on the main roster. Gallus was then escorted through the back by

security and Pridley deadly stopped them. They just fired him up some more and they mocked him as security dragged Gallus off. Mackenzie. Mitchell then interviewed mister Stone and von Wagner backstage. Wagner said there won't be much left of Tyler Bait by the time he gets through with him,

and he still wants brawn breaker. Cameron Grimes defeated Javier Bernal, who was a person that they're going to be doing a little bit with here, looks like, at least before the match, they showed Bernal talking to a security member and we'll get to him uh last week about how he was going to challenge and beat up Grimes this week. Up in the catbird seats there, Joe Gacy and the die Ad were watching and before the match they wished

Grimes good luck. He didn't need much of it. Match went three minutes and five seconds and Burnell got in a little bit of offense, but Grimes took over and at the end delivered the cave in double foot stop for the pin. After the match, he stared down Gaycy and his goons. It was then time for a Blair Davenport angle showcasing who or a vignette showcasing who she is? Uh For anybody who has never seen her work on n x t U k or as her work is b priestly over in Japan and the UK and everywhere

else for that matter. After the show went to break, we got vignette of all the fire who she comes from a family of fire keepers in Scotland, and she's going to continue to rep Scotland and apparently she's going to continue to bring up the name of lash Legend who she mentioned. And uh, I guess there's still a possibility that they will be handcuffed together. I have seen

enough of those matches. Blair. Davenport then went on to defeat Indie Heartwell, and you know that the match was secondary here when he came to in the r well. At one point during the match, Heartwell was coming back in the ring and Davenport went for like a roll of the dice neckbreaker through the ropes and Heartwell look like she just about spiked herself. Later they showed the replaye she didn't hit the mat, but the way she twisted it was very very awkward looking. On the finish

unfortunately looked worse. Davenport went for a high angle brainbuster, but even though Heartwell went up for it, Davenport just couldn't get her up and very quickly spiked her on the shoulder got the win. After the match, Davenport delivered a v trigger and threw Heartwell out of the ring. She didn't grab the mic and cut a promo and being number one contender in the UK and said she'd be happy to take the n x T Women's Championship here in the States. That brought out Mandy Rose, who

sauntered down to the ring while cutting a promo. She said she's the most dominant women's champion out there and demanded Davenport's put some respect on her name. She was then cut off by music, and that music was of Mako Satamora, who got in Mandy's face. Long story short, We're gonna have a triple uh threat match at World's Collie between Davenport's Satamora and Mandy Rose. I'm not putting my money on Mandy Rose, but we'll see what happens here.

Mackenzie then if interview Tiffany Stratton, who was sporting that new hairstyle, the pink Parades corn Rose thing, whatever that thing was, my lord, but it may have made sense because of the light that they had over the ring. But we'll get to that. J. D mcdonog cut of promo. While he was hanging upside down because he's a weirdo, I guess about not being done with b Breaker. Wes Lee was talking to Caine Carter and Katana Chance right after that long story short. There seems like it's gonna

be McDonough and Lee here coming up soon. They finally come back inside the in the arena in the heartwell apparently never left ringside after all this was going on. She's sitting on the apron. She asked if this is what rock Bottom feels like. She's blaming herself for everything. When lo and behauled from behind her, you see him in the distance raise up from the other side of the ring. It's Dexter Loomis. The crowd goes crazy. She turns around, sees him in there. They both threw the

little Dexter slither into the ring. Their eyes lock, They embrace, she kisses him, and then they leave together. He carries her up the ramp into the backs. Index is back together or are they? Afterwards we get a shot of Vix Joseph he's too happy, Wade Barrett, he's too sour. Overall, this, but then they cut to the back again. Dexter put Indie down. He entered her a note and opens the doors to the Performance Center, where there's red and blue lights and there's cops telling him to put his hands

behind his back. Apparently was able to snake miss out of the building, has taken him to an undisclosed location and has been on the lamb ever since. But true love has brought him back to the Performance Center. He hands her a note and it's his goodbye for now. Goodbye Indie for now. I hurt you forever. So everybody wanted Index to return. I kind of wanted that too, but they're doing whatever they're going to be doing with extra Loomis on the main roster. But I love Indie heartwell,

she's got a long way to go. In some ways, I wish she would leave there, go get some experience because she's got a good look. But bottom line is, if she doesn't go anywhere and get some more season and experience, get dextra back to n x D because those two together are great. We're coming up here on the break and the match between the Diet and the

D'Angelo family was sure. It was only about five minutes die I got the victory basically led to Tony D'Angelo running down Legato da Phantasma and as they leave the building a little bit later, on car pulls up, window comes down Santos Escobar. He would never forget about his familia. Get in, let's ride. Everybody looks like they're driving to the main roster. Now, I would assume on SmackDown. I

think they would be a great fit for that. I am still upset that we never got a good series of Swerve Strickland and uh Santos Escobar matches in n x T. I think we got one, it wasn't enough. But Tyler Bate then went on and defeated von Wagner in a non title match big battle size versus Experience here and Bate ended up getting the clean victory. Wagner looked good. That leads into Brett Bates match against Braun Breaker, and when we get back from break all this alliteration,

we'll get into the main event. Tiffany Stratton Wendy two Lights Out Match wrestling Himserver Alive back on the show Wrestling Observer Live. The main event of n x D Lights Out Match Tiffany Stratton windy you anything goes now. Usually when there's a lights out match, it just means it's unsanctioned. They flashed the lights, the lights come back up. You have a match that nothing the company wants nothing to do with. If somebody gets hurt, it's the blood's

not on our hands. In this case, they actually turned the damn lights out and they had a blue light. And this is why I'm wondering if they decided to go this route with stratton sair, because at least it was reflecting off in the lights that they were using. It was this weird blue and black light that they add and at times I didn't really have a problem with it, and I never had a problem with the Sinkara thing too, but I can understand why people didn't

like it. And this was much much darker than that. I mean, it was an first time they were doing this whole thing, craziness happening, and yet all the wacky spots trash can over Stratton's head and she beats it with a tennis racket. There was a pink steel chair turn buckle tightening bar that you used was trying to choke out Stratton with and break her face with Wendy's

bed at some point got closer to the ring. They had two huge pillows in them that had legos inside of them, which Stratton tried to follow a slam on chew into them. She missed, so she just went body slammeder on top of it, which looked like it sucked. And the finish it came when Tiffany tried to throw powder outside the ring, Gotta kicked it back in her face.

She then gave her a choke slam through the headboard of the bed that she had laid out, rolled her back in the ring hit the good Night splashed for the win in thirteen o eight, so they gave it a little bit of time and as the show went off, the air had the contracts being signed for the Triple Threat Women's Unification and the Men's Unification match coming up in two weeks and n x T World's coll Eide.
