No Disqualification Match
B-Fab vs. Elektra Lopez

B-Fab and Hit Row come out to a great reaction from the crowd–though there’s a fair number of LDF fans in attendance. Swerve and Ashanti get on the mic but are getting far more boos than cheers. They announce tonight is about the ladies, and Ashanti tells us it’s an honor and a privilege to be in our presence. He goes on to talk about the upcoming Women’s Championship match later tonight. “So ladies, today is your day!” Top Dolla hypes the Women’s Tag match as Hit Row embrace their inner feminist it seems. Swerve points out that we don’t have a North American title defense tonight, again, and gets a big boo as he laughs. The crowd has turned disinterested and to boos. B-Fab and Hit Row do their best to ramp up the audience. The four Hit Row members end their speech with if we didn’t know, now we know. Elektra Lopez makes her way out with the rest of Legado Del Fantasma, and Hit Row position on the apron and along the rings, awaiting them. Phoenix runs down that Elektra hit B-Fab with a pipe, leading to this fight. Lopez readies up on the ramp, removing her jacket, and B-Fab exits the ring to confront her in the entrance way.

B-Fab and Lopez go at it, fighting into the ring and we get the bell, starting this match officially. Both lock up in the ring, with Lopez taking a hand-stand kick from B-Fab. B-Fab with a Liu Kang kick that sends Elektra outside. B-Fab leaps off the apron with a double Axe Handle Smash. Elektra throws a right and B-Fab battles Lopez to the apron. Lopez fights back, dropping B-Fab. Lopez pulls a trash can from beneath the ring but B-Fab attacks Lopez before she can use it. B-Fab with a hair slam on Lopez followed by a series of strikes. Lopez desperately crawl-stumbles forward, sending B-Fab into the steel stairs. Hit Row and LDF both approach their respective female members and both factions go at it! Refs hit the ringside area to attempt to break the brawl as we head to break.

Back from the break. Lopez foot-chokes B-Fab in the corner. The ringside area has been cleared, and Vic Joseph and Wade Barrett let us know that security cleared out the factions. Lopez exits the ring, retrieving a table. B-Fab follows her out. They have a tug o’ war with the table. Lopez shoves the table into B-Fab’s gut and looks for an over-the-shoulder move. B-Fab shoves Lopez into the apron, then drags Lopez onto the upside down, not-set-up table and hits a knee drag. B-Fab sets up the legs of the table, while it’s upside down on the floor, and slams Lopez’s left knee into the metal leg support!

Lopez recovers and brings three steel chairs and two kendo sticks into the ring. Lopez body slams B-Fab onto a chair. Again, Elektra with a scoop slam onto the chair! The crowd are a bit quiet for this, with the occasional and weak “we want tables” chant. B-Fab takes control with a leg drag, and hammers Lopez in the gut with a steel chair. B-Fab drops the chair and picks up a kendo stick, whacking Lopez in the gut before beating her across the back multiple times. B-Fab sets up a steel chair to sit in but before she can finish whatever she wants to do, Lopez rams her through the steel chair, breaking its legs! Lopez sets up another Chair and drops B-Fab across the edge of the back of the set-up chair. Lopez with a sit-out modified powerbomb bomb to pick up the win!

Your Winner, Elektra Lopez!

Segment: Indi Hartwell & Dexter Lumis’s Honeymoon

We see the start of the InDex honeymoon–and Johnny Gargano & Candice LeRae joined them. Johnny spies on them with binoculars as the couple play in the sand. We get a spot showing Indi coming out of the water, sexy style. Gargano and Candice are happy for the two until he realizes what exactly happens on a honeymoon night. Gargano heads off. A shark fin is seen in the water, and InDex flee the beach water. We find out that it’s Johnny Gargano with a shark-fin head piece. We head to break.

In-Ring: Joe Gacy

Joe Gacy is in the ring, in a steel chair. He tells us that contrary to popular opinion, this is still our safe space. He claims to have made a huge impact last week and adds “I have not been cancelled.” He claims he made a greater impact than Ciampa, Strong and Bron Breaker “using only my words. I didn’t throw one single punch. You see, I speak for a generation that nobody understands except for us. The enlightened ones. And the rest of you are living in a darkened, obsolete world.” Loud boos and jeers. “And last week, when I went back to the locker room, I saw nothing but triggered faces. I don’t understand–Joe Gacy is inclusive, and we can solve all of our conflicts with simple discussion and resolution. No one person can change the world but I’m here to usher in the world to a new normal. I don’t wanna take too much of your time, I know there’s a match coming up, thank you for your open minds.” And with that, Joe Gacy is done.

Xyon Quinn vs. Oney Lorcan

Quinn draws upon his Samoan heritage, Joseph tells us, as he prepares for his opponent. Lorcan is out next and the bell rings. Both go at it, with Xyon taking an early lead. Lorcan battles back, tapping into his classic ground and pound style. Lorcan with a throat punch before taking out Quinn’s knee. Lorcan with a working headlock as the crowd chants for him. The former sports star known as Daniel Vidot takes control over the veteran. Quinn with a big slam and strong blows to stun Lorcan. Quinn posts up in the corner and hits his as-yet-unnamed finisher. Think a Superman Punch Forearm. Quinn covers and picks up the easy win.

Your Winner, Xyon Quinn!

In-Ring: MSK, Grizzled Young Veterans, Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams, Brooks & Jensen

MSK head out to the ring to a decent pop, posing with fans as we go to break. When we return, MSK are in the ring with interviewer Samantha Irvin. She asks MSK about whats next. They tell her they’re going to take down the tag team division. Both men agree that everyone can steup and and everyone can get knocked back because they’re fighting champs.

Out comes the Grizzled Young Veterans! GYV tell MSK that if they’re fighting champs, well, where’s GYV’s tag shot? They come to the ring and make a claim that they’re soon to be tag champs.

Carmelo Hayes & Trick come out interrupting them. He tells them to hold on–he’s got the Breakout Tournament contract that guarantees him a title shot, and he says he and Trick would love that shot. They start as if they’re going to turn it in when GYV warn them off. MSK tells everyone to shut up. MSK go on, telling the two teams their shtick. The GYV get angry, accusing everyone of talking in riddles.

Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen make their ways out, stating they were about to open up some brews and saw the commotion. They head to the ring and Melo tells them to get out of there. Briggs states that when he woke up this morning, he decided the first person who looked at him sideways was gonna get popped in the mouth. Brooks & Jensen attack Hayes & Trick, and MSK superkick GYV off the apron! Brooks & Jensen take up fighters’ poses outside the ring, their backs to MSK as the eight men seem to pair off in fours.

Backstage: Raquel Gonzalez, Toxic Attraction

Gonzalez barely speaks before Toxic Attraction walk past, on the way out to their match. Mandy Rose stops and tells Raquel the belt looks good on her…but would look better on Rose. She heads off.

Video Promos: Bron Breakker, Tommaso Ciampa

Breakker touted the success he’s had as of late and, to sum up, tells Ciampa he’s coming for the NXT title. Later on, Ciampa’s video plays. He tells us that Breakker’s done great the last two weeks “but let’s not put him in the Hall of Fame yet.” He tells Bron it took him 908 days to get Goldie back, a title that Ciampa never lost to begin with–he abdicated it. He tells Breakker that no one’s beaten him for it before, and no one is gonna beat him for it now. He’s sure he’ll fight Breakker someday, and states that Bron Breakker is going to drown in Ciampa’s experience.

Boa vs. Andre Chase

After a break, Boa is in the ring and Mei Ying is at ringside. Andre Chase comes out and talks trash to Mei Ying before entering the ring. The bell rings and Boa takes Chase down with a neck hold; Chase returns the favor by doing the same move to Boa! Both men exchange rear arm holds until Chase takes Boa to the mat, holding him and working the arm. Chase takes time to talk trash, and Boa uses it to deliver a series of running knees to Chase’s gut. Boa stomps on Chase’s hand and looks for a low roundhouse kick but Chase ducks under. Chase drops Boa and starts stomping his chest and face. Chase follows it up with repeated blows to Boa’s head. Chase yells smack at Boa. Chase with an elbow to Boa’s face, ouch! Both men exchange leads, with Chase constantly yelling crap. Boa sends Chase out of the ring. Chase yells “you son of a bitch!” He yells more at Boa, then turns to Mei Ying.

Boa poses and leaves.

Good times. 😬 #WWENXT @DexterLumis @indi_hartwell @JohnnyGargano pic.twitter.com/35OVroFbDw

— WWE NXT (@WWENXT) September 29, 2021

Gargano tricks a maid into letting him into Dexter & Indi’s room, claiming he’s Lumis. He starts to go through an unzipped suitcase and finds a long strand of dozens of condoms and freaks out, but then notices they do hydrate. Before Gargano can escape (see what I did there?), Indi Lumis return early. Gargano hides in a closet. Indi asks Lumis if he’s thinking what she’s thinking. He begins playfully hitting her with a pillow and she begs for it “harder” over and over, and Gargano gets the wrong ideal. After a bit they go to sleep. Gargano sneaks out of the closet–and Lumis gives him a thumbs up before pulling out the long strand of condoms!

NXT Women’s Championship
Raquel Gonzalez (c) vs. Franky Monet

Our Champion is out first, posing at the top of the ramp. We head to commercials. Definitely having an overrun tonight. Both women size each other up as the crowd comes alive throughout the match and, as Vic Joseph points out, the crowd seems split between both women. Monet with a rear waistlock. Franky takes the champ to the mat with a side headlock, but Gonzalez powers out, breaks the hold, and slams Franky face-first into the mat. Monet rises, laughing.
