Recapping American wrestling since 2013. Not only following the current stuff in WWE, Impact and ROH but also going back in time and doing stuff from back then as well.
Samoa Joe shows up to start tonight's show. He addresses the altercation between himself and "The King of Strong Style" Shinsuke Nakamura and reads the medical report in his hands, which states that Nakamura has suffered numerous injuries, will not require surgery but will require rest and rehabilitation up to six to twelve weeks. Joe isn't waiting that long, and he calls out General Manager William Regal, asking him to either bring him Nakamura or bring him the NXT title. Regal shows up, and says the medical report in Joe's hands is correct even though he has no idea where Joe got that report. However, he has not spoken to Nakamura yet, saying that Nakamura isn't the kind of guy who just picks up the phone. He says he will take care of the NXT Championship situation, especially the parts of it that Joe caused. Joe says "I didn't think it would come to this," leaves the ring and approaches Regal, telling him to "do the right thing" or else he will injure the rest of the NXT roster.
Cedric Alexander says he has worked seven years to get here, and he wanted the best. He got Andrade "Cien" Almas as his opponent, and now he plans to walk out on top tonight.
Livv Morgan says she didn't come to NXT to play limbo, she came here to hop hurdles. She isn't bowing down to anybody, and even though Asuka claims to have cleared out the women's division, she's standing right here, and she's not rising from the bottom to stay there. Asuka shows up, and says "If you think you're ready, let's find out."
Austin Aries beats Oney Lorcan with the Last Chancery. Aries says that the NXT Universe was buzzing about where he was last week. He says he was at home as he has more important things to do with his time off, and now that he's here, he would call out Hideo Itami, but Itami is a coward. Hideo Itami shows up and enters the ring, but Austin Aries leaves with his arms in the air like he just won a million dollars.
Dan Matha is coming to NXT in two weeks...
Last week, The Revival (Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder) and #DIY (Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa) brawled in the Full Sail University parking lot after the finale of The Cruiserweight Classic.
Billie Kay beats Aliyah.
Mandy Rose says Ember Moon doesn't have what it takes and doesn't fit the mold as she looks like a combination of Little Red Riding Hood and The Hunger Games. She calls herself what a real women's wrestler should look like, and says Ember Moon will see what it's like to be eclipsed when she gets in the ring with her.
Next week on NXT: Liv Morgan vs. Asuka!
NXT is coming to Tokyo, Japan on December 3rd!
Cedric Alexander beats Andrade "Cien" Almas in his NXT debut. Both men shake hands after the match, and Almas pulls Alexander back to hug him.
Rey Mysterio Jr. and El Dragon Azteca Jr are training. Azteca wants to destroy Pentagon Dark, but Rey tells him that Pentagon has many enemies and to let them destroy him as they have their own fight...one more dangerous than him. Suddenly, Chavo Guerrero Jr. shows up, and El Dragon Azteca goes after him. Rey tells Chavo to let him go, and after he does, he tells Rey he's never told Azteca about "La Familia Guerrero," and that it looks he may have to be the one to teach him.
Dario Cueto is in the temple to spin Dario's Dial of Doom and see who gets a shot at the Lucha Underground Championship against his brother Matanza Cueto. After making fun of Son of Havoc by saying nobody believed he could beat Matanza, he spins the wheel. Tonight, it is The Mack's turn.
Matanza Cueto retains the Lucha Underground Championship against The Mack.
Somewhere on the open road, Son of Havoc is watching Famous B's commercials, and says he can't stand Famous B. Neither can Mascarita Sagrada, who is watching them with Son of Havoc at Havoc's house. Havoc's mom has also made some Bagel Bites.
Johnny Mundo shows up in Dario Cueto's office, demanding a shot at the Lucha Underground Championship. Cueto tells him he has a Trios title shot tonight, but Mundo doesn't care and says he's not competing tonight and is heading to the dojo. He tells Cueto to think long and hard about how he's treating him. Taya, who is with Mundo up until this point, eagerly steps in as Mundo's replacement, much to Cueto's delight.
Before the next match, Dario Cueto shows up and says Cage and Texano have a lot in common, including losing out on unique opportunities. He announces this match will be not for a unique opportunity, but for "the ultimate opportunity," and only the winner will find out what this is.
Cage beats Texano. After the match, Dario Cueto then tells him that if he wants the ultimate opportunity, he must beat Texano two more times as this was only the first match in a Best of Five Series. With this victory, Cage leads 1-0.
Dario Cueto opens a box and gets a 423-GET-FAME hat inside. He also opens an envelope, which contains some pretty gruesome pictures. He is looking through them when El Dragon Azteca Jr., and Cueto throws them in the trash. Azteca wants a match with Pentagon, but Cueto says he can't just make a match whenever he wants. He likes the idea, though, and pencils it in after he tells Azteca he has the match. Ricky Mandel, whom we haven't seen in some time shows up and asks when his next match is, and he notices that the pictures are on the desk. Cueto hands him the pictures to Mandel to get them out of his hair Chavo Guerrero Jr. then shows up, and after Ricky Mandel tells him that now is not a good time, Chavo tells Cueto that they need to talk.
The Super Friends (Fenix, Aerostar and Drago) retain the Lucha Underground Trios Championships against The Worldwide Underground (Jack Evans, "The Darewolf" PJ Black, Taya). Johnny Mundo shows after the match, and he, PJ Black and Taya attack the champs after the match. Sexy Star shows up and clears the ring, but not before getting a shot in on Taya.
Dario Cueto talks to Rey Mysterio Jr. about next week. He tells Rey that Azteca came to him demanding a match against Pentagon Dark, and that he has pencilled it in. Dario agrees with Rey that he's not ready, and that Azteca will be facing Chavo Guerrero next week, with the winner facing Pentagon. Cueto also tells Rey what happened to his tribe, and makes Rey Mysterio Jr. the guest referee for the match, going so far as to put it in ink instead of in pencil.
