2022 Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Semi-Finals Match: Cora Jade & Raquel Gonzalez vs Wendy Choo & Dakota Kai

We start with Cora Jade and Wendy Choo, with the latter getting love from the audience right out the gate. Choo toys with Jade, holding her to the ground and playing "peek-a-boo." with her. Jade tags in Raquel and commentary...whispers. Just 'til she enters the ring. Raquel puts Choo on her shoulders and spins around like a helicopter first one way, then another, finally driving Choo into the mat for a pin attempt. Toxic Attraction are shown drinking champagne in the Toxic Lounge. Jade is tagged in and works with Raquel to double-team Choo, then covers for a short two. Kai is finally brought in and works with Choo to throw Jade into their corner. Choo and Kai take turns executing running face wash's before Kai scrambles for a cover.

Kai pounds away at Jade in the corner and looks for another cover early on. Kai draws on her old Team Kick playbook as she batters the rookie with kick after kick. Kai uses a footchoke on Jade as the ref warns her. The crowd starts dueling chants, weakly, as Kai pounds away at Jade in the corner again. Kai holds firm to Jade as Choo tags in. They whip her into the rope and double-team her with a clothesline, dropkick and single-leg smash for a close cover. Choo looks for a suplex but Jade slaps the brakes on every time. As the crowd comes alive, Jade struggles to survive as Choo takes her down to the mat with a side headlock. Raquel and the crowd try to fire up Jade as Cora fights to a vertical base. Jade counters another set of suplex attempts, then tries for a small package. Jade and Choo then roll around the ring, literally, several times as they each try to get the other's shoulders down. Finally, amidst some confusion, Toxic Attraction become a factor when the ref is distracted. We head to break with Kai clasping her ears, screaming, with Raquel down on the ground holding a knee.

Back from the break. We get replays from prior to the break, when Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne attacked Raquel while the ref was distracted. Raquel insisted she'd finish the match to NXT Medical staff. In the ring, Kai and Jade continue the back-and-forth clash they left us with prior to the break. Jade's been in this match ten minutes now but is still going strong. Choo comes in and Jade staggers her with kicks and a step-up Enziguri. Jade with a running lifting knee to Choo in the corner, followed by a Meteora in the corner! Jade covers Choo for a close two as the NXT Universe start up a loud, dueling chant that's more Jade-heavy (but still shows Choo some love). Choo tags in Kai and the duo double-team face-plant Jade, with Kai covering for a two. Meanwhile, Raquel's making her way up to the apron, finally ready to become a factor.

Gonzalez tags herself in and, while limping with a bad right leg after the Toxic Attraction attack, still manages to clear the ring. Raquel and former bestie Kai clash, with Kai showing off some technical skill with a unique semi-Panama Sunrise back breaker. Kai looks for the running corner facewash but she pauses and starts to listen to the voices in her head. Kai then attempts the move; Raquel looks to counter with a Chingona Bomb but doesn't execute it fully as her leg gave out. Kai with a Helluva Kick, and Choo tags in. Choo with a top-rope splash as Kai tags in and hits a double-stomp off the top! Kai covers Raquel and the duo pick up the win!

Outside: The Diamond Mine Collapses

We cut to the outside and find the Creed Brothers down, the victims of a savage beating by unknown parties. We head to break.

Singles Match: Tiffany Stratton vs Fallon Henley

Henley starts off with a short burst of offense as Barrett and Joseph inform us that Henley is highly liked backstage due to her willingness to help others and such. Stratton weathers the few seconds of offense before going on the offense herself. Stratton uses working holds to wear down Henley's neck. Henley fights back briefly with a big chop and a right, followed by a backbreaker and lariat combination. The spurt of offense isn't enough, however, as Stratton counters an attempted Bulldog, catches Henley in a cross body, and counters with a Samoan Drop! Henley rests against the ropes, holding her top, when Sarray attacks her without warning! The ref fails to see it and Fallon quickly covers, picking up the upset!
Your Winner, Fallon Henley!

Video Promo: Chase University

Chase shows us footage from last week's match, and criticizes some of the Chase U class. Except Bodhi, of course, who "took one for the team." We see Bodhi Hayward with a badly blackened eye. Chase completely flips his shit when a student questions Bodhi's black eye, asking Bodhi how many fingers he holds up (and holds one) before asking the antagonizing student the same...but by flipping him off. Chase curses the student and throws shit at him, before he and Bodhi end our segment. This recap isn't doing it just and...why yes, I'm recommending actually watching a Chase U promo for once.

Lashing Out w/ Lash Legend, feat. Nikkita Lyons

Lash Legend welcomes Lyons to her show. Lash takes cheap shots at Lyons' mom, basically calling her mom a hoe, then accused Lyons of being fake and having "butt implants." Lyons ended the segment, stating she was all natural, and the two exchanged a few more words before ending the segment.

Backstage: NXT Champions Imperium and MSK

Imperium are asked about the Diamond Mine's Creed Brothers. They lightly mock them and low-key take credit for attacking the Creeds. MSK comes up and volunteers to fill in for the Creed Brothers, who are unable to compete apparently tonight.

Last Man Standing Match: LA Knight vs Grayson Waller

LA Knight is out first and we head to a word from their sponsors. Grayson Waller makes his entrance but is attacked on the ramp by Knight! The bell's called for both men take turns in control as they battle down the ramp and around the ring. Knight finally takes it inside and drops an elbow across Waller's chest. Knight with a guillotine catapult, smashing Waller's neck into the bottom rope. The crowd has a weak Waller chant and a loud LA Knight chant. Knight stomps Waller in the corner and the crowd chants "yeah" every time he kicks. Another huge LA Knight from the hot NXT Universe. Knight counters a whip with a pull-back attack and finally gets his first lead in the ring. Huge Waller sucks chant as he works over Knight along the ropes.

Knight and Waller struggle some more before Waller hits his signature Stunner, in which he runs down the ramp, dives through the ropes, rolls and hits a backpack Stunner. The ref begins his count as it's a Last Man Standing, but Knight's up early. Knight looks for a BFT but Waller counters with a stiff elbow strike. Knight counters a whip but runs into a boot.

Back from the break. Knight and Waller struggle at the edge of the scaffolding until Knight sends Waller falling off! The crowd rips off another big chant for their hero. Sanga shows up and Knight smacks him with a steel chair to the back. Sanga shrugs it off and chokeslams Knight onto the apron. Waller pulls out some cuffs as McKenzie Mitchell informs us that the Creed Brothers are not cleared to compete; MSK will challenge tonight for the titles. Knight manages to get the cuffs from Waller while Mac makes her announcement, then cuffs Sanga around a ring post. Waller tries to beg off Knight but Knight drops him with two clotheslines and a beautiful neckbreaker! Barret reminds us their animosity goes all the way back to Halloween Havoc. Knight drops Waller and the NXT Universe chant for tables. Knight looks for a cutter but Waller jabs a thumb in his eye. Waller again looks for his finisher but Knight catches him, throws him out of the ring and through the table! The crowd rips off a loud "holy shit" chant. Holy shit, indeed!

Knight and Waller brawl at ring side again. Knight smashes Waller with a right and calls out to the crowd, repeating this a few times. Knight retrieves a steel chair and threatens Waller. Waller apologizes and Knight tosses the chair aside--only to run and kick Waller! Knight puts a trash can over Waller then beats the can repeatedly with the steel chair!
