He says that Tony D'Angelo sits at the top of NXT with the biggest prize, which he wants, and that he presented him not with a gift, but a proclamation.

He says that his name has been tied to greatness at a young age, and mocks the rest of the roster as he states that he is the star NXT has yearned for. He says he has the shoulders broad enough to carry the burden, and that "Mr. England" has officially arrived.

For this week's NXT Origins, we look at Rhea Ripley's time in NXT.

Zaria heads to the ring. Zaria says that NXT feels different, and now, it could be anyone's game. She says that for the first time, she is standing in the middle of the women's division with nobody holding her back. She says there is no dead weight or fake friends, and she is starting to realize that this is how it always needed to be. Zaria says she has a clear path to what it started it all and came between her and Sol Ruca: the NXT Women's North American Championship. Some people think that the title destroyed everything, but Zaria said it woke her up, and after spending enough time around it, it starts to feel like it should be yours. Tatum Paxley shows up and says she understands Zaria, as she is trying to understand who she is on her own. She also warns Zaria that if she comes for her title, it would not matter if she scorched the earth, as she has ended friendships and put someone in a coffin. Lizzy Rain shows up and says that NXT does feel different and is now anyone's game, and now that she is the new blood, she does not mind joining in. She says she was talk of the town last week, and while the title is iconic, it would be great to add some heavy metal. Nikkita Lyons shows up and says Lizzy Rain is the talk of the town because she got "the Nikkita Lyons rub," and says "the flavor of the month" is shooting way over her head and women like Lizzy have come and went. Nikkita then says she is not even done with Lizzy, and when she throws a punch at her, it starts a brawl that leads to Zaria hitting an F5 on Tatum and being the one to stand tall.

Backstage, Tavion Heights meets with Myles Borne, who says that Heights has time to prepare now that D'Angelo has been attacked.

Zaria then runs into Robert Stone, and finds out that next week she is in a tag match with Nikkita Lyons against Lizzy Rain and Tatum Paxley. Zaria says she is done with tag team, but Stone tells her that if she wants an opportunity, she will need to win this.

Backstage, Kelani Jordan is met by Lola Vice, who says that Kelani needs to focus on her more than her other challengers. Kendal Grey shows up and says that Kelani is in her sights after what she did to Wren Sinclair last week, but Kelani cares more about titles than friendship.

In footage from earlier today, new NXT correspondent Emily Agard interviews Keanu Carver. Carver says he will not talk in front of a camera, and that Emily has been put in a tough situation. Carver says he is motivated by money and that he is here to get paid, as he has a family to feed. He says he is not trying new tricks or getting clout, and that he has people back home to take care of. He also says he told Shawn Michaels to either give him a chance or cut him, and if wrestling does not work, he will have to find something that does. Carver says that while everyone else is someone they are not, he is the same person he always was. As for the symbol of war from Nakare, he mentions his college education and says that he does not brag like everyone else in NXT.

We see an Instagram video from Shiloh Hill, who brags about beating Ricky Saints in Saints' last NXT match while also bringing up Tristan Angels' words about him in NXT Spotlight.

Tony D'Angelo beats Tavion Heights after Kam Hendrix shows up and gets beaten up by Tavion Heights as well as Myles Borne, which allows D'Angelo to hit Dead to Rights on a distracted Tavion to get the win.

Raw Deal - Raw recap for May 5, 2025

"Main Event" Jey Uso heads to the ring to start tonight's show. Jey Uso wants to know where Logan Paul is at, but Paul Heyman shows up instead. Jey says Heyman has balls after what he did to Roman Reigns, as he had seen past him since day one. Heyman says CM Punk put him in a position where it 100% guaranteed the sabotage of his relationship with Roman, and asks why he would sell his secrets to Punk after five years. He says that he turned Roman into the Tribal Chief and the undisputed ruler of the WWE for about four years only for Roman to lose the WWE Championship, disappear and leave him high and dry only to return to get his dominance back. Heyman says that he is in the right for turning on Roman after Roman disappeared him, then says "screw you" to both Jey Uso and the fans. Jey asks Heyman if he is okay, then asks what this has to do with him. Heyman says that has nothing to do with him, and that he really came out here to tell him that the World Heavyweight Championship is power and control that Jey does not know how to wield. He then says that as much as Jey wants to be champion, Seth "Freakin'" Rollins has to have the championship and the power and control. He calls Bron Breakker part one of Rollins' plan, then says part two is the World Heavyweight Championship. Heyman then does Jey a favor and allow shim to pick the night that he loses the World Heavyweight Championship, as Rollins is now challenging Jey for the title and he will face him any time, any place. Jey decides to make the time and place right here and right now.

Backstage, Paul Heyman meets with Bron Breakker and Seth "Freakin'" Rollins and says that "Main Event" Jey Uso fell for it and wants to do the match tonight. Rollins tells Heyman "I told you so," and leaves. Heyman asks Breakker if he understands what is going on, then explains a few things to him and says Jey is not prepared for Rollins because he is too focused on Logan Paul. He then says they will be handed the keys to the kingdom when Rollins wins the World Heavyweight Championship.

Penta beats JD McDonagh after Finn Balor and Carlito get ejected from ringside and Penta takes out Chad Gable on the outside.

Backstage, JD McDonagh asks The Judgment Day (Finn Balor, "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio, Carlito, Liv Morgan, Raquel Rodriguez) what Chad Gable was doing in the ring. As JD McDonagh says that Penta and Gable are both going to get it, "The Phenomenal" AJ Styles suddenly shows up and says that whoever wins at Backlash, he will come after them for the Intercontinental Championship. Dominik realizes he has his hands are full as champion, and asks Finn for help against AJ Styles, which Finn is eager to do.

Backstage, The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) meet with Chad Gable. Kofi says it is time American Made (Gable, Julius Creed, Brutus Creed, Ivy Nile) got some respect, and Woods says that American Made needs to get some opportunities. Becky Lynch suddenly shows up and heads to the ring.

Becky Lynch is in the ring. Lynch says she is the victim here and that when she took out Bayley, she took out the garbage, and that the fans should be thanking her for it. She then calls Lyra Valkyria "the recycling," and considers her as much garbage as Bayley due to her attitude. Lyra shows up and calls Becky "the queen of recycling" for using the same act and moves for years, and takes exception to Becky thinking she had anything to do with her success and that she made herself, not Becky. She says that Becky went on holiday and everyone went better while she made some history of her own and defended her title more times than Becky has been at work, and while Becky has shattered ceiling, she left the glass on the floor and had no intention of taking anyone to the top with her. Becky says that everyone had their best year because they did not have her to compare themselves to, then says she is good at her job and the greatest to ever do it, and that regardless of how good Lyra is, she will always be "the moment after the moment." Lyra starts mentioning Becky's achievements, then mentions that she, not Becky, was the first to hold the Women's Intercontinental Championship. She says that Becky hates she is the first, and hopes that she likes second place. Becky goes for a cheap shot, but Lyra gets the better of her in a brawl that referees have to break up. Becky calls this disrespect and says she did nothing wrong, and they brawl again. Becky goes for the Manhandle Slam, but Lyra counters with Nightwing.

Rusev then tosses Otis around before hitting the Machka Kick and locking in the Accolade again until officials, including General Manager Adam Pearce, pull him away.

General Manager Adam Pearce is in the ring, where he welcomes Pat McAfee. McAfee enters the ring before Pearce introduces his opponent for Backlash, Gunther, who is now no longer indefinitely suspended. Pearce warns both men to keep their face-to-face meeting professional. Gunther says he will not do anything tonight and spoil anything for himself, as unlike McAfee and Michael Cole, he is professional. McAfee calls Michael Cole a commentary great, which leads to a "Michael Cole" chant, and says that for 28 years, he has dedicated himself for traveling around the world for WWE and is entitled to an opinion. McAfee puts the state of Nebraska over and calls the state a symbol of working hard and dreams coming true, then says he and Gunther have a lot in common and have had the same dreams of being in professional wrestling. He then says that Gunther has become so jaded that it has become a job for him, while for him, he gets jacked up about doing his job every single week and telling people about Gunther what they are really about. He says Gunther does not want it anymore and has gotten "too damn comfortable" to the point that he will overlook him and prove that he is soft. Gunther asks Pat McAfee if he enjoyed his birthday, then says Saturday is a special day and McAfee put him in the mood for it. He says he will show up more focused than ever before and promises that McAfee will get his full and undivided attention. He says that the bell will ring on Saturday and he will maul him, ram his skull into the mat and choke him out until he drops like a wet towel. He says that tonight, by his grace, McAfee is untouchable, but on Saturday, only the grace of God can lift his arms off his throat. Gunther shoves McAfee, then leaves.

Final Impact - Impact Wrestling recap for May 5, 2020

Sami Callihan shows up to start tonight's show. Sami says he sees everything, and while the world sits at home, he will brighten everyone's day just a little bit. He says he had the fight of his life against Ken Shamrock, but he is still standing and it will take a lot more to keep him down. He says that he went toe-to-toe with the world's most dangerous man, and the referee stopped the match because he needed help, but he will be damned if anyone helps him again. He says that this is why he attacked oVe, as he needs help from nobody. Sami then proclaims that he has unfinished business with Shamorck, and calls him out. Shamrock shows up and tells Sami to open his ears and calm down, and says that while he has fought a lot of tough guys in his career, Sami is "one tough S.O.B." After listing off a who's who of people he has tapped out, including Big Show and The Rock, he says they have two choices which he is okay with: finishing it outside, or shake his hand and put everything behind them. Before Sami can make a choice, Michael Elgin shows up and says he is the one and only rightful #1 contender and that he does not need any tricks like Sami does. Shamrock, tired of hearing Elgin talk, starts wanting some action. After Sami tells Elgin that all he will do is choke like he does whenever he goes for the World Championship, Elgin punches Sami, and while Sami and Shamrock get a few shots in, Elgin rolls out of the ring before Sami and Shamrock back into each other. After a brief confrontation, Sami suddenly disappears.

In footage from earlier today, Josh Mathews interviews Moose. He refuses to mention how he got his hands on the TNA World Heavyweight Championship, and insists that he is the real world champion. When told about the upcoming #1 contender's tournament for the Impact World Championship, he is pulling out of the tournament because the Impact World Championship is "a second-class championship" and that his title is the best. Moose continues to insist that he won the title after beating several TNA legends, and says this makes him the TNA World Heavyweight Champion, and declares the interview over to keep from putting his hands on Mathews.

The North are then introduced to their opponents, who are two skinny guys who come out to French music. Page makes fun of the two guys, who are known as "The Creeps," then they have their match. Page summons the referee by snapping his fingers, and the referee magically shows up. Not surprisingly, The North win.

At the bar, Rosemary wonders what to do next via some tarot cards.

Tommy Dreamer says that he will end his career when he wants to, and that Sami has not been through all the blood and pain that he has. In a short time, they will take the fight to each other, but Sami will not be able to end his career as he does not have it in him.

Scorptio Sky says they should pay attention to tonight's main event, as there is nothing stopping them from taking back what is theirs. Daniel says the difference between them and The Kingdom is that they do not play by the rules and that they will end The Kingdom any way they see fit.

Before the next match, Shane Taylor says that for eight years, he ran the streets of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania the same way he rules ROH right now, and that is being paid to beat people down and knock them out. No matter how much money he makes, however, there is only so much money to go around, and that leads to guys like Ryan Nova who do not even have a spot on the roster, as the money they make could just as easily be in his pocket, and he might as well knock people out until he is the only one left.

Styles says congratulations are in order, but admits that what happened with the ECW World Tag Team Championships was shocking. Francine says the only thing that is shocking is that everyone would think that she would leave herself out of the World Heavyweight Championship picture. She says she record here stands for itself, as she has managed people like "The Franchise" Shane Douglas, Chris Candido and "that loser" Lance Storm to a world title and even managed "a has-been" like Raven and "a nothing" like "The Innovator of Violence" Tommy Dreamer to the tag team titles. Now, her greatest accomplishment is managing the most controversial man in wrestling today - Justin Credible - to the world title.

Elektra then asks The Sinister Minster "Rabbi, are those rosary beads in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?", to which the minister produces a string of beads and states "They're not exactly rosary beads." Elektra says that was not the pocket she was talking about, and the Minister proposes running them up against Elektra's bikini line. Elektra says she doesn't have a bikini line, to which the Minster responds "All the more reason for a closer inspection."

Yoshihiro Tajiri shows up and spits green mist in Victory's face and helps RVD fend everyone off, and RVD takes out both Anton and Lynn with a somersault over the ropes. Corino then takes the microphone and says that he and Rhino have a lucky break here, and that the odds are in their favor. He says that he is a forgiving man, as is Cyrus and the rest of his allies, and says they will forgive him if he admits he made a mistake turning on them; otherwise, it will be him and Rhino "all over [his] slanty-eyed ass."

Referring to Kevin Nash demanding 75% of the gate, Piper says he wants no money. James J. Dillon shows up, and tells Piper that there are people here that are playing mind games. He knows that the "75% of the gate" demand got to Piper, and tells him that Eric Bischoff made some sweet deals for the New World Order that he can't do a thing about because they are all legal. Piper will get 25% of the gate, and if he doesn't show up for the match, he will be in breach of contract and will let WCW down. Dillon asks Piper to come with his head on straight, but Piper says his head has never been on straight and that he and his friends are lions.

He says it's hard to be himself when he tunes in to Nitro and sees everyone wanting a piece of him, and since he's here, he wants a piece of the big dog and calls out Sting. Sting doesn't show, and Hogan says "Once a god, always a god."

We get a video package detailing the feud between Diamond Dallas Page and "Macho Man" Randy Savage.

"Mean" Gene Okerlund interviews Diamond Dallas Page and Kimberly. Page says that before he was a wrestler, he grew up in the nightclub business, and from the Jersey shore to Fort Myers, Florida, he's been in more barfights than he can remember. At Spring Stampede, however, he was in a fight like he had never been before, and he calls it a defining moment, saying that either you define the moment or the moment defines you and that he defined "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Kimberly says that Savage claims she is obsessed with him just to get at DDP and that Savage has a one-track mind and the traffic is very light. Suddenly, Savage and Miss Elizabeth make their presence known in the crowd, saying Kimberly is a liar and that everyone wants him. He tells Kimberly to stop calling and writing him, and Page tells Savage he has two words for him: Diamond Cutter. Savage says it's too bad he's hurt, as he would come down there and kick his ass. Page dares him to come down to the entrance so they can go, but Savage and Elizabeth leave.

Jeff Jarrett beats Alex Wright with the Figure Four Leg Lock after Debra McMichael distracts the referee as well as Alex Wright, who dances towards her just to get her mad.

Glacier quickly beats Lizmark, Jr. with a Cryonic Kick in the latter's WCW debut after Lizmark backflips off the top rope. James Vandenberg and Mortis run in and attack Glacier after the match, and the big masked man shows up to do some more damage. Glacier almost lays out Mortis, but Mortis gets back up and whips Glacier into the big man. Mortis hits the Flatliner on Glacier before whacking Glacier in the kidneys with his jester-like staff. James Vandenberg is seen still carrying Glacier's helmet as trainers get Glacier to the back.

Lex Luger is supposed to team with The Giant for the next match, but Lex Luger is injured and The Giant comes out alone. The Giant grabs a microphone that he does have a partner for tonight, however: Diamond Dallas Page. Page and Kimberly show up, but they see "Macho Man" Randy Savage and Miss Elizabeth. Page grabs one of Savage's crutches and tries to swing at him as Savage uses Elizabeth as a shield, but it's all a set-up as Hogan attacks Page from behind and the rest of The New World Order attack Harlem Heat (Booker T and Stevie Ray) and The Giant. "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper and Kevin Greene show up, and while Flair has Syxx in the Figure Four Leg Lock, Greene and Piper take a beating. Hogan and Savage take over the commentary table, announcing that the nWo has everything under control and that Savage's leg feels a whole lot better while they mock the WCW Superstars in the ring.
