JOHNNY GARGANO'S MUSIC HITS BUT IT'S CIAMPA DA GOAT
He says everybody keeps saying Johnny won, and he beat me. Yeah, he won the battle, but he WON the war. That's why he's standing here, while Gargano is at home in a neck brace, that HE put him in. He then walks down to the ring and does the Gargano/CLB look into the crowd taunt
. He says piece by piece, he has broken him. He broke his heart, mind, and spirit and now his body. Johnny Wrestling is gone. HE WINS! Candice comes down to the ring now, she asks who is he? she use to think she knew him but now doesn't recognize what he's become. He's obsessed with ruining their lives and don't understand why? The only thing broken is him. She says she's done shedding tears with, she's done sharing her like with the man she and her husband had stand next to them on their wedding day. He's a monster she will never forgive, and while Gargano's future is uncertain. HE WILL ALWAYS KNOW HER HUSBAND WAS BETTER THAN HIM! Ciampa says maybe? but he and she both knows Gargano knows he is half the man he will ever be, that's why he sent his cute little wife out here. Ciampa then drops the bomb "HE DID LIVE WITH THE TWO OF THEM FOR TWO YEARS, AND SAYS SHE'S ALWAYS BEEN MORE OF A MAN THAN GARGANO" Crowd then starts a "Mess him up, Candice, Mess him up!" chant
But Ciampa says the whole time he was at their wedding, all he could think was how can this woman marry such a big...................BUT SHE SLAPS HIM! Ciampa gets out of the win and says I win, so Candice leaves.
FUCK YEAH! NIGEL IS BACK!
Brandi Lauren vs. Lacey Evans
I don't know who this Brandi girl is but she's adorable, and she's an Arn fan so I'm now fully on board. UGH, they gave Lacey a new theme, which means double fuck her and I can no longer sing "HEY, NOW" whenever she comes out. Lacey squash, big right-hand ends it.
Lacey leaves up the ramp, but Sane pearl harbors her from behind
They brawl down the ring, but, Lacey quickly rolls out of the way before Sane can go for the elbow.
Recap of the Dream/Ricochet promo from last week.
Earlier Today, Cameraman asks Black on his thoughts on the Dream/Rico promo. Black says he knew once he became champion, the target on his back would get bigger. He just hopes both guys realize once they step foot in the ring with him. They become the target.
DREAM/RICOCHET NEXT!
Earlier Today, Dakota talks to the NXT Media again. She calls Nikki crazy and says she doesn't know what her play is, Cross runs over and says she's got a question? WHEN IS SHE GONNA FIGHT SHAYNA FOR THE GOLD? Kai is scared, so Nikki tells her to face her fears and fight.
The Velveteen Dream vs. Ricochet
Ricochet uses his experience and superior mat wrestling to ground Dream early, but it's Dream who quickens the pace that totally throws Rico off. They then one-up the other with fake out dives. About a minute later they bump heads. But LARZ attacks both men for the no contest. Good angle match, that just makes me super hyped for the big TakeOver match now.
Kona got new music and it's harder than his other theme, GODDAMMIT!
Raul Mendoza vs. Kona Reeves
LOL FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH THIS BULLSHIT!
Backstage: Cathy is outside GM Regals' office, she bumps into both Ricochet and Dream who both demand a match with Lars. They go in together.
In the back, TM and HM set up a match for next week.
Danny Burch, Oney Lorcan & Pete Dunne vs. The Undisputed Era
Kyle and Danny officially start the match, after heel Roody taunts Dunne by throwing his UE t-shirt in his face. They isolate Danny pretty early on, they isolate the arm. AND DICK RODDY IS THE BEST. He does Dunne's arm breaker thing and even does the taunt but his cockiness costs him and Danny tags Dunne in who beats the shit out of him like last week. Faces all do the finger breaker in stereo which was cool. Cole and Kyle then distract Dunne, which allows Roddy to attack him from behind and now the UE isolate Dunne for a bit. Roddy/Dunne continues to be awesome hate filled brawling, ONEY'S HOT TAG FUCKIN RULED! The match breaks down, Dunne forearms the shit out of Cole who takes an MR. Perfect level bump
Roddy then takes out both Oney and Dunne. He hits Burch with a high knee, Cole hits the neckbreaker and Kyle kicks his head in but only gets a two. Burch begins to fight back, he dumps both Cole and Roddy to the floor and locks in a crossface to Kyle, Oney locks in the Boston crab to Roddy and Dunne locks in a modified octopus. But Roddy, who knows the hold too well, rolls throw and sends Oney into everyone to break all the holds. Dunne suplexes he and Cole to the floor, the tag teams are left and begin trading brawls but KYLE HITS RODDY BY MISTAKE AND ONEY HITS DOUBLE BLOCKBUSTERS AND THEY HIT A WHEELBARROW DDT ON KYLE FOR THE WIN. ***
