He mentions his loss to Lethal in 2017, and while any move can be stopped or countered, he is not unprepared for that challenge.

He also says his house is a house of cards and that the slightest force will make it tumble down. Sami says that Big E is not giving him the respect he deserves in the middle of an historic championship reign while Big E is bitter that his reign was largely forgotten, and says Big E should be applauding him.

After Owens wishes somebody like Teddy Longcould make a Triple Threat Match, General Manager William Regal shows up. Regal makes the match official in two weeks' time at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, then says "Playa" before leaving.

We hear from Shotzi Blackheart, who rebuilds her tank as she gets into the spirit of war, saying that the best part of war is crushing one's enemies, seeing them driven before you, and hearing the lamentation of the crowd.

Lumis then points at the crowd and shows a video where he makes fun of Grimes running away from him, complete with a drawing of Grimes. He then produces a leather strap and throws one end of it to Grimes, whois not interested in a strap match.

Backstage, General Manager William Regal meets with Cameron Grimes, who tells him he will face Dexter Lumis in a strap match at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, much to Grimes' chagrin. When Grimes asks Regal why he hates him so much, Regal tells him it is probably his personality.



Rhea Ripley is in the ring. She calls Io Shirai one of the toughest women she has ever stepped in the ring with, and after last week, there has been speculation about her future. She says that her hug with Io Shirai last week was nothing but respect, and that she is here to stay in NXT and that she wants the NXT Women's Championship. Toni Storm and Candice LeRae show up, and Candice says that Io Shirai beat her twice with help, but Io Shirai beat Rhea Ripley on her own, then says Rhea Ripley talks but cannot back it up while she can. As she says this, Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez show up with a laid out Io Shirai, and Candice, Dakota and Toni go after Ripley. Raquel joins in, and Rhea is quickly outnumbered and beaten up.

He says that if The Elite is not a cult, he does not know what is, then says that while Page does not have any friends or people to rely on, they are here for him and he knows where to find them.



Backstage, Alex Marvez interviews Kenny Omega, who says that the last uneventful week has given him time to reflect and that the more things change, the more they stay the same. He says that he was nursing injuries he received from Jon Moxley this time last year, and now they are doing the same dance again. He says the only difference this time is that Moxley's face is plastered everywhere and he is called "the best in the world," but after the World Title Eliminator Tournament, it is his turn, and the AEW World Championship is the only difference between them. Omega says he has climbed to the top to be taken seriously again, and until he gets the World title, he will not be the best in the world. In a "gentleman's challenge," he tells Moxley to "leave the garbage wrestling at home" and beat him in the middle of the ring based on his ability. He tells Moxley he will be waiting for his response, then congratulates him on the new baby before saying that his father could beat the shit out of Moxley's, who he says was never that touh at all.

After the match, Taz says he has some business to take care of and asks Hobbs to celebrate in the back. Afterwards, Taz says that AEW is not acknowledging what the FTW Championship is and that he is tired of him and his team being disrespected while the FTW Championship is not recognized in the company. He says he will not leave the ring until someone in management shows up and makes the title mean something. It is not long before his microphone is cut off, and demands Justin Roberts give him his microphone. He then threatens to take over commentary if the second microphone is cut off, and the microphone is suddenly cut off. "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes then shows up and says Taz is done, then says he is here out of total respect and that Taz is wasting time, then says they can settle everything next week. Taz says that Cody and Darby Allin will get whupped next week, then demands that the FTW Championship be given the respect it deserves. Cody says somebody from management is here and that he can see what is going on here, then says he will run it up the flagpole. When Taz asks what that means, Cody mentions Taz's soon Hook being a wrestler and asks why Hook is training with him and not Taz. Taz is incensed with Cody for bringing this up and tells him he is pathetic for going that far, then Taz teases leaving only to put him in the Tazmission. The Nightmare Family shows up to check on Cody, then Taz leaves with his soon Hook.

She also says that Jade Cargill did not need her or Nyla's own influence to destroy Brandi or her opponents, then tells Brandi to call her if she needs any advice.

We hear from FTR and Tully Blanchard. Cash Wheeler says Full Gear became one of the worst nights of his life, and Dax Harwood says that for three seconds, The Young Bucks (Matt and Nick Jackson) were better than them, then says FTR is still the baddest and the incomparable in the tag team divison. Blanchard says it is FTR's destiny to be champions and his destiny to coach them, and that FTR are the next tag team champions. Blanchard then tells The Young Bucks to fear the revelation.

The Inner Circle (Chris Jericho and Jake Hager) beat SoCal Uncensored ("The Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian). After the match, Kazarian punches MJF in the face only for The Inner Circle to swarm him, but The Inner Circle immediately scatters when Scorpio Sky shows up with a steel chair.



It's time for the debut episode of The Miro and Kip Video Game Extravaganza. Orange Cassidy suddenly shows up, and when Miro and "Superbad" Kip Sabian chase after him, they are ambushed by Best Friends (Chuck Taylor and Trent). Miro grabs a camera, tells the cameraman to get out of the way, then goes after Best Friends.

Moxley the takes the microphone and says whoever Omega hired to take him out last week did "a piss-poor job", then tells Omega to give him a call if he needs some help taking somebody out. He then says that he thought their beef was squashed last year, but Omega had to piss him off. He then tells Omega to consider themselves even, and that the only way Omega will become AEW World Championship is if he digs down deep and finds the Kenny Omega everybody thinks he is, and says that he will have to climb a mountain nobody has climbed in eighteen months and beat him. He then hypes their match, then tells Omega that winter is coming for him, because he takes no prisoners and Omega will only get one shot at him. Moxley then signs the contract, thanks Schiavone and leaves.



Backstage, MJF asks what kind of man sucker punches another man in the face, then calls Frankie Kazarian a coward. Chris Jericho says that the fun and games are over and that The Inner Circle are going back to beating up the entire roster, and that next week, Kazarian will face him one-on-one and he will get his revenge for MJF.

We see a video package chronicling the events between Anna "99" Jay and Hikaru Shida.

We hear from Matt Hardy, who says that 2020 has been a difficult year and that it was his duty to inspire everybody to fight on, and when he beat Sammy Guevara at Full Gear, all was right with the world.

He then tells the fans to think about what Matt would do if they become overwhelmed: survive, thrive and win.

We hear from Team Taz ("The Machine" Brian Cage, "Absolute" Ricky Starks, Powerhouse Hobbs). Starks says that "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes has crossed the line, then says they love it in AEW and that Taz takes care of them, but he says Cody is the problem, as his paper-thin ego gets in the way and that he does not want people to remember that he and Cage beat them in their last meeting.

Tommy Dreamer is the judge at first, but D'Lo Brown takes over when Madison Rayne questions Dreamer's trustability after accusing Johnny. Tommy and Madison make opening statements.

Acey Romero states that he found Johnny Swinger's - and everybody else's - fingerprints were on the gun. Swinger tries to bribe Judge D'Lo with beer. It doesn't work.

Rohit Raju shows up. Rohit says he is the opposite of everything the fans is: a winner who went from the bottom to the pop and attains dreams instead of chasing them while the fans hide behind technology and talk without saying anything because they are losers. Rohit then issues the "Defeat Rohit Challenge," which is answered by Suicide. When Suicide shows up, Rohit accuses Suicide of being TJP under a mask, then makes the match non-title.

Swann and Mack have none of it, and Bey tells Swann to give him a call if he survives Shamrock.

Lance Archer takes a downed Ariel Dominguez into the ring and slams him into the mat as Jake "The Snake" Roberts watches, then Jake says that he has always considered himself "an honest prick" before he and Archer brag about the damage that they have done to other people throughout their careers.

Reba and Britt soon get their first mail call, which is from "Tony S. in Atlanta," asking Tay about her relationship status. ("Tony S." is an obvious shot at Tony Schiavone.)

Honor Roll - Ring of Honor recap for November 21, 2020

We hear from Jay Briscoe, who says that his focus has been shifted as of late thanks to EC3. EC3 says it is an honor to fight him on his quest to see if honor is real, and that it is part of his plan. He says that he envies Jay Briscoefor staying true to ROH while he went from business to business, and says he has his respect as he says that honor and respect are synonymous. Jay tells EC3 he will honor him with an ass-whuppin', while EC3 asks if Jay will shake his hand if he offers it according to the Code of Honor. Jay says he will give EC3 a beatdown as he tells him to bring his A-game, while EC3 tells ay to control his emotions as well as his narrative to show him that honor is real.



EC3 beats Jay Briscoe by disqualification in less than two minutes when Briscoe refuses to let go of a choke in the corner by the count of five. After the match, EC3 attacks Briscoe as soon as he turns around, and security quickly shows up to attempt to break up the ensuing brawl, and EC3 dares Briscoe to hit him with the Jay Driller. When Briscoe goes for it, security immediately holds him back.

We hear from LSG, who talks about his love for professional wrestling even when he played baseball as akid and how he went to a Ring of Honor show at fifteen years old and was blown away. He says that Jay Lethal showing up as the only local guy from the event was what inspired him to become a professional wrestling. He says that baseball set a foundation for him when he entered professional wrestling, and after a few years, he entered the Ring of Honor Dojo and teamed with Shaheem Ali to form Coast 2 Coast. After last year did not do well, he has re-evalutated his career and he is on a different level, and if anyone wants to enter ROH, they have to prove themselves against guys like him. He admits that Coast 2 Coast's match against Jay Lethal and Jonathan Gresham did not go so well for him, this time is different, and he will take advantage of anything he can after having trained harder than before, as this match means everything to him and he will prove that he can hang as he goes from being the boy who wanted to be Lethal to the man who wants to beat Lethal. We then hear from Lethal, who says that while he did not win the ROH Pure Championship, he managed to find the purest of pure wrestlers in Jonathan Gresham. He also admits he lost to the better man in "Hot Sauce" Tracy Williams, whom he considers a like-minded individual like Gresham. He says that the three of them want to clean up ROH and bring back prestige and honor as those who have put in the time and honed their craft should be rewarded. He says that he has requested a match with LSG, as he has proved that he has the talent and ability as well as the hunger, for he has been in his position, and LSG will get him one-on-one to prove he can hang with the best out there, then tells LSG that nothing is free and that he had better be ready to pay for it.

Matt Taven beats Bateman with an O'Connor Roll. After the match, Bateman lays out Taven, then Vincent shows up and says Taven looks a litle too comfortable for his liking before Bateman hits Taven with a piledriver. He asks how one person can be so embarassing, as there is nobody in the arena and Taven still wants attention. Vincent then tells Taven that no matter how hard he tries, he will never get the approval he is looking for, then tells him that everything he has done - as well as his legacy - is nothing more than failure, then pulls out a dart. All of a sudden, Mike Bennett's music plays, and when the lights come back on, Mike Bennett is in the rin. He runs Vincent out of the ring and superkicks Bateman, who he also eventually chases out of the ring. Taven and Bennett then hug in the ring to close out the show.
