GM Regal opens the show, he announces a fatal 4 way at TakeOver Houston to crown a NEW woman's champion.
SAnitY comes through the crowd, EY has a mic and says you guys want to make your mark, but they are the group that wrote the book on making a mark. The only thing for sure is change, and tonight Adam Cole, I'm going to take you to the edge of sanity.
Backstage: Christy is with Oney, she asks what his thoughts going into his match against LARZ. Oney says he doesn't like Lars and didn't like what he did against Jose, SCREW THAT! Let's see what he can do to him.
Lars Sullivan vs. Oney Lorcan
Awesome Larz showcase, but it's not completely one-sided as Oney makes sure to get some of his shit in. Awesome spot with Oney trying a no hands plancha over the top, but Lars catches him in mid-air and slams him on the apron. THE ONEY SLAPS AND UPPERCUTS HAVE NO EFFECTS BECAUSE LARZ COMES BACK WITH A GROSS LARIAT TURING ONEY INSIDE OUT. He then hits a side slam for the win. **1/2
After the match, Larz goes for another side slam, but Danny Burch runs down and saves Oney.
Backstage: Kayla asks Ruby about her thoughts on the Iconics asking for a rematch against her and Cross, Ruby cuts her off and says they're not friends and has no problems fighting the iconic's, and if Cross wants to get involved she can, but just stay out of her way.
Heavy Machinery vs. Demitrius Bronson & Patrick Scott
Showcase for the heavy ones. Double splash ends it.
Earlier today at the PC, GM Regal is talking to the media when he spots Gargano leaving the building. Regal calls him over and books him vs. Almas in 2 weeks
Earlier today at the PC, Christy asks Roddy about his preparation for this world title match next week. Roddy says he's training the way he always does, like this, is his last match. Drew knows that, and saw it when he looked him in the eyes, it rattled him a little bit. And he wants to talk about how he's going to knock me out. But he knows, I will keep getting back up. I fear nothing, I've worked my life for this. And the outcome will be different.
Liv Morgan vs. Vanessa Borne
The blind leading the blind, it's not good. Lots of basic stuff, Liv hits a new version of the codebreaker for the win.
Recap of Dream/Black from last week airs.
Earlier Today, Black is training at the PC. A reporter asks him for his thoughts on the Dream. Black says in this age of individuality, there is always that one that thinks he's the most unique and special. But left to his own devices he tries to antagonize the heard. But the truth is, they all want recognition. But I refuse to acknowledge a child that holds his breath to get what he wants or throws a tantrum to get attention. By being bizarre Patrick thinks he can get my attention. He is wrong.
Fabian Aichner vs. Kassius OhNo
Good Ohno showcase, elbows, kicks, punches all on point, and Fabian has a good showing too. He hits this awesome leaping to the top rope no hands plancha like Taka use to do. He does a fantastic job of mixing highflying and showing off his power game by throwing Ohno around, who, well, is way larger than him. Fabian makes the mistake of going for a moonsault which misses allowing Ohno to make a comeback, he finishes the match with the rolling big boot for the win. **1/2
Backstage: Some new geek interviews Drew, Drew says Roddy is the only guy that stepped up. And this is his only shot, Roddy is good and would be the champion if HE wasn't here.
SHOCK THE SYSTEM~!
Cole gets on the mic, he says how did this place survive without them. Ladies and Gentleman, he can feel something in the air, focus, close your eyes and feel this moment. What you feel is change, what you feel is a shock to the system. WE ARE UNTOUCHABLE! WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE! WE ARE UNDISPUTED!
Adam Cole (w/Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish) vs. Eric Young (w/SAnitY)
Goes about 5 minutes so it's nothing to get hyped about, lots of Cole shortcuts and cheating, he works the neck for a bit, it goes nowhere before EY makes a comeback. Fish and Kyle try to get involved again, which leads to a big brawl on the floor. EY then hits a crossbody taking out everyone, what allows Cole to hit a shining wizard when EY rolls back in for the win.
