My Coherent Wrestling Wednesdays: Finn Balor Explains Himself, New AEW Tag Team Champions Being Crowned.

Via AEW

A very decent night of wrestling is under the history books along with, a review that talks about this particular night of professional wrestling. Let's get to it. 

NXT 

Highlights. 

Finn Balor Explains Himself. 

This was rather a short promo however, it did a good job on explaining his actions last week  (which I wish that I would've talked about that heel turn last week but unfortunately, I didn't review the show). 

He tells the audience that a wrestler that sits backstage and watches the shows are destined to be sitting with the fans the next day. Finn Balor then further elaborates that he's the hottest act in WWE at the moment. 

Balor ends the promo warning Johnny Gargano that Johnny will go from Johnny Wrestling to Johnny Watches Wrestling which has a surprising ring to it. 

Tegan Nox and Dakota Kai vs The Kabuki Warriors For The WWE Tag Team Championship And A Special Announcement. 

Boy, that was a fun match for fans of tag team wrestling and pro wrestling in general. Tegan Nox reversed Asuka's kneebar after Asuka countered Nox's shiniest wizard. 

The empress of tomorrow would then spit out the green mist to Dakota Kai and just like that, they've retained the championships. Shayna and the gang showed up after the match and Tegan Nox tried to defend herself but she was outnumbered. 

Rhea Ripley slowly walks to the ring and Io Shirai strikes Ripley from behind which led to Candice LeRae throwing Shirai on the barricade. 

Speaking of throwing, Bianca Belair threw LeRae near the steel steps and Rhea kicks Belair with a big boot. 

All of those women showed up inside the ring moments later and it turned into a big brawl. William Regal told all of those women that he has a simple solution to this problem and that's war games.

Ho. Ly. Crap. It has finally arrived. The real question is, who is not excited for the first-ever all women's war games match? 

Some Other Things That Happened.

Candice LeRae vs Io Shirai - A rematch from Takeover: Toronto, they have some unfinished business and Mauro in commentary, compared this feud to a Bhad Bharbie beef going on right now which isn't shocking if you know who she is.

Io Shirai brought a chair but Candice seeks in immediately with a roll-up. Io won her match thanks to LeRae's moonsault on the chair. After the match, Rhea Ripley came out to save LeRae from an additional beating by Io Shirai. 

Bronson Reed vs Shane Throne - Bronson Reed showing his power and destruction with that splash Samoan style from the top rope to Shane Throne and Reed took the W. A decent match overall. 

Cameron Grimes vs Tyler Bate - Thanks to a distracted Tyler Bate when Killian Dain showed up, Cameron Grimes strikes Bate with the running double stomp and then, Killian Dain absolutely destroyed Tyler with that splash on the steel steps. 

The Undisputed Era In Kyle O'Reilly and Bobby Fish vs Keith Lee and Matt Riddle - Each person in that match know each other so well and it was obvious watching this back and forth action. 

Adam Cole and Roderick Strong were taken out by Keith Lee but unfortunately, Riddle took the pin from Bobby Fish and after the Undisputed Era beats up the losing team, Tommaso Ciampa rushed to the ring so that Ciampa could make the save. 

A decent main event match. Maybe we might get two war games matches but we shall see what happens next. 

AEW 

Highlights. 

Tony Schiavone And Cody Discuss The Rhodes Family Stories In A Limo Ride. 

In a short but effective segment, Cody Rhodes and Tony were talking about Cody's dad Dusty Rhodes and Schiavone told him basically good luck. This uncle and nephew type of dynamic was rather interesting to witness (get it? Dynamic? Dynamite?). It is also something I wanna see more of. 

Cody Rhodes vs Chris Jericho For The AEW World Championship Contract Signing. 

Both guys signed the contract to make this championship match on November 9th at Full Gear official. Chris Jericho got a huge heel volcanic heat from the crowd which I didn't expect. 

Jericho then offered to shake his hand to which Cody accepted. Sammy Guevara told Cody to look on the titantron and it was Jake Hager beating up Cody's brother Dustin Rhodes which led to Cody rushing to check on his brother. 

Jon Moxley Tells The World To Stay The Hell Out of His Way. 

Jon plants The Librarian with the DDT and then, he grabbed a microphone saying that he's the sickest son of a gun there is and Moxley is unsanctionable. 

He then went on to say that he's going to deliver the wrestling violence the fans haven't seen in years. Jon ends his promo by telling the corporate yes man to stay the hell out of his way. 

Just a kick in the gut promo that Moxley gives us when he's in his element. Great stuff by the former WWE champion (what? You said WWE? Well, you just lost your credibility buddy). 

Some Other Things That Happened. 

Hangman Adam Page vs Sammy Guevara - An okay opener. After Page clotheslined the crap outta Guevara for the victory, Page cut a promo basically telling the fans that he's going to do that cowboy sh*t. 

Shanna vs Hikaru Shida - Out of all the wrestlers I don't know outside of WWE, Shanna is a pro wrestler I'm actually familiar with for almost 2 years. 

That package driver from Shida to Shanna looked absolutely nasty. Hikaru Shida won her match with the shining wizard. A very decent women's match. 

Best Friends and Orange Cassidy vs QT Marshal, Alex Reynolds, John Silver - The good guys won and I'm not a fan of Rick and Morty so.  

Rock N' Roll Express To Present the AEW Tag Team Titles - Chris Van Vliet was about to interview The Rock N' Roll Express, however, Satana and Ortiz made a statement by beating the current NWA tag team champions (yes, you read that right). 

The Young Bucks and Kenny Omega vs Hybrid 2 and Kip Sabian - Santana and Ortiz got a bit of a taste of their match at Full Gear by beating up The Young Bucks after the brothers won their 6 man tag match. 

SCU in Frank Kazarian and Scorpio Sky vs The Lucha Brothers For The AEW World Tag Team Championship Tournament Finals - Pentagon jr delivers Frank Kazarian a powerbomb through a table. Scorpio Sky locks the inside cradle for the AEW tag team championship victory. The match was aight.
