NXT UK Imperium Gallus

Who’s Kingdom is it really, and what will Gallus have to say to IMPERIUM? Also two former NXT UK Tag Team Champions clash as Flash Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews battle The Grizzled Young Veterans. 

Joe Coffey vs. Tyson T Bone

The match started with both brawlers jockeying for position and throwing bombs. T Bone and Coffey are engaging a full-on slugfest and a combination of stiff knee strikes. T Bone blasted his opponent with a flying clothesline. The leader of Gallus hit a thunderous belly-to-belly suplex to gain more momentum. He continued the attack with hard Irish whips into the corner and a Pendulum Backbreaker for a near-fall.

Coffey applied a wristlock and the big man got back to his feet. An arm drag brings T Bone back to the mat so his opponent can apply more pressure to the arm. Coffey attempts an armbar but T Bone delivers nasty-looking headbutts to escape his grips. T Bone executed a t-bone suplex (how ironic) for a near-fall of his own. Coffey drives his opponent back into the corner and lands a massive crossbody followed by All the Best for the Bells for the win.

Opinion: Tyson T Bone definitely impressed me with how well he fared against Joe Coffey. It’s not every day that you see a match quickly disintegrate into a full-blown slugfest. Once both competitors started throwing lefts and rights I knew this was going to be a war. Coffey picking up the victory made sense since it appears Gallus and IMPERIUM are on a collision course.

Killer Kelly vs. Isla Dawn

As soon as the bell rang, Kelly charged towards Dawn but missed a kick and the “modern-day witch” took her down with a series of arm drags and a suplex. Dawn wrenched on the arm and applied a hammerlock into a Single Leg Boston Crab forcing Kelly to make it to the ropes. Dawn leveled her opponent with a dropkick for a near-fall.

The official separation gave Kelly an opening to strike with a vicious pump kick to gain some momentum. “The Killer” began pounding away at her opponent as she waiting until the official’s count of four to end the brutal attack. Both competitors made it to the ropes and Kelly delivered rapid-fire stiff kicks to Dawn and a clothesline. The modern-day witch rolls through Kelly to escape a debilitating chin lock.

Dawn attempted Saito Suplex but it was countered and a pump kick. Dawn hit the Saito Suplex and got a 2.8. Kelly blasted her opponent with a stiff kick to the face followed by a hesitation dropkick in the corner. Kelly attempted the Voldemort but it was blocked and Dawn hit Call of the Quarters for the victory.

Opinion: Killer Kelly is scary everything from her menacing entrance to her vicious strikes all-the-while smiling deviously is dangerous. I think this was my second time watching her perform and she definitely is a force to be reckoned with. Isla Dawn has an ominous presence about her you know there’s something unique and special about her. She’s also someone I’m not too familiar with. She is a great submission specialist and she proved to me tonight that she should not be taken lightly.

“The Wrestling Genius” Kassius Ohno delivered a dangerous message to the “Big Strong Boi” Tyler Bate ahead of their highly-intense match next week.

Xia Brookside will finally get a one-on-one match with the NXT Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray next week!

Main Event: Flash Morgan Webster and Mark Andrews vs. The Grizzled Young Veterans

Flash Morgan Webster and Zack Gibson started the match with a waist lock and a slam by “Liverpool’s Number 1.” Webster used the ropes to hit a bulldog into a headlock. Gibson caught Webster in a second attempt at the bulldog which allowed him to make the tag to James Drake.

A nasty kick from Drake but Webster used a surprise roll-up to make it to Mark Andrews. The babyfaces keep the momentum for the majority of the match until The Grizzled Young Veterans found an opening.

Towards the end of the match, Gallus came out to get a closer look at their potential challengers. IMPERIUM wasn’t far behind them. Both groups squared off in the middle of the ring. Ilja Dragunov came down and pulled a huge swerve on the quartet as he joined forces with Gallus. A HUGE brawl ensued to end the show!

Opinion: Both tag teams were on fire tonight willing to do whatever it takes to get one step closer to regaining the NXT UK Tag Team Championships. There’s nothing better than to watch two brawlers mix it up with some incredible high-flyers. The match ending in a no contest saved both teams from having to take a loss which is smart booking. Perhaps, this leads into a triple-threat-match for the tag titles soon.

Last but certainly not least, the huge brawl between Gallus and IMPERIUM was simply amazing. Dragunov’s involvement was brilliant storytelling from him standing side-by-side with IMPERIUM and then turning on them was fantastic. The look of shock on Wolfe’s face made the moment feel special. I just hope we get to see this HUGE match on next week’s episode!

Chris King: Is Brock Lesnar Truly Retired?

Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…

Brock Lesnar WWE WrestleMania 42 Retirement

Brock Lesnar retired at WWE WrestleMania 42, right? Are we totally sure? Chris King asks…

At WrestleMania 42, ‘The Beast Incarnate’ Brock Lesnar took off his boots and gloves following his loss to Oba Femi. Lesnar has done it all inside of his twenty-four-year career in professional wrestling. He’s a ten-time WWE Champion and former UFC Heavyweight Champion, and he’s one who ended The Undertaker’s undefeated streak at WrestleMania. 

While Lesnar was in the ring, he was visibly overwhelmed with emotion and crying while he thanked the fans in his own way. The Beast even threw up an x to signal to Paul Heyman, his longtime friend and advocate, that this was not scripted and was real. There had been rumors that Lesnar and Oba were supposed to have a series of matches before everything went down at Mania. 

‘The Career Killer’ Gunther was doing Heyman’s bidding as he faced Seth Rollins for a favor. For a while now since Gunther retired Goldberg, John Cena, and AJ Styles, the rumor has been Gunther was set to retire Lesnar in his hometown at this year’s SummerSlam event. There’s been no confirmation if Lesnar is truly retired, but on this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown, we saw Heyman talking with General Manager Nick Aldis. Later that night following Rhodes’ match against the debuting Ricky Saints, Gunther choked out the WWE Champion. Could this be the favor from Heyman? 

I know in the world of professional wrestling we live by the mantra of “never say never,” but what if Lesnar is actually retired and this was WWE’s way of shutting down those rumors about Gunther and Lesnar? What if Gunther’s next program is chasing after the WWE title, and where is Randy Orton at in all of these plans? There are so many questions that need to be answered, hopefully soon!

Chris King: Defend The Intercontinental Championship At Backlash!

With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!

Penta WWE Intercontinental Championship WrestleMania 42

With WWE Backlash upon us, Chris King wants to see Penta defend the Intercontinental Championship in Tampa!

This year’s annual Backlash showcase is only a few days away, and while there are many big matches announced, one that definitely should be isn’t on the card. In my opinion, outside of Roman Reigns/Jacob Fatu and Seth Rollins/Bron Breakker, the Intercontinental Championship scene has been stellar over the last month. 

Penta has been an excellent champion, especially after his triumphant title defense in a ladder match against JeVon Evans, Rusev, Dragon Lee, and the Hall of Famer Rey Mysterio at WrestleMania 42. Their ladder match at Mania was one of the best that WWE has produced in a while. 

The momentum never stopped, as on the post-Mania episode of Monday Night Raw, ‘All Ego’ Ethan Page made his debut and was quickly inserted into the Intercontinental title scene. Page had a fantastic showing against his longtime NXT rival Evans and picked up a big win in his debut match thanks to an assist from Rusev. 

All Ego immediately joined forces with ‘The Bulgarian Brute’ Rusev, who was also vying for the Intercontinental Title in his own right. On this week’s episode of Raw, Page and Rusev defeated Evans and Penta. All Ego pinned the champion, making a huge statement and putting him one step closer to getting a title shot. For the past few weeks I’ve been anxiously waiting to see if WWE was going to add this incredible fatal four-way match for the Intercontinental Championship, but it hasn’t happened yet. 

As much as the WWE Universe enjoys witnessing great matches on free television, I truly believe all four superstars deserve the chance to showcase their talents on the PLE. While Penta has done a terrific job as the intercontinental champion, it’s time for a fresh face to hold the prestigious title. Page would make a great braggadocious heel that would help elevate the Intercontinental Championship to new heights!
