As a fan for over 20 years, I strongly believe there's no sport better than professional wrestling. Whether it's writing about the sport I love or meeting those that have impacted it in a major way, I always enjoy myself. Outside of wrestling, I'm into writing, gaming, and tokusatsu.
Last week on NXT, viewers saw the returns of former titleholders Finn Balor and Tommaso Ciampa. This show’s main event will pit KUSHIDA against WWE United Kingdom Champion Walter.

Lio Rush vs. Drew Gulak (c) (NXT Cruiserweight Championship) Rush gets the head start early on, hitting a Spanish Fly followed by a suicide dive! He nails an Asai moonsault in this already hellacious match but is taught by the larger Gulak with a slam. Rush goes for a rollup but Gulak counters…

Earlier this weekend, on Twitter, AEW Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes announced another program in the promotion’s TV lineup.

The show will air on their YouTube channel and be hosted by play-by-play commentator Tony Schiavone. Though this past Wednesday’s premiere episode of Dynamite showcased many matches, there were others that didn’t make the cut. These include SoCal Uncensored vs. Jungle Express, Darby Allin vs. CIMA, and a four-way match featuring Britt Baker, Penelope Ford, Allie, and Bea…
This week’s episode of NXT begins with a solid video package hyping the counterculture nature of the brand itself. From there, we kick things off with what looks to be the match of the show, if not the night, with the NXT Championship on the line! The main event features the Street Profits against the Undisputed Era for the NXT Tag team championships. Match 1: Matt Riddle vs. Adam Cole (c) (NXT Championship) Riddle takes down Cole several times to begin. Riddle hooks in the Fujiwara armbar, but Cole quickly reaches the ropes.

On October 2, 2019, Riho defeated Nyla Rose to win the AEW World Women’s Championship.
