MJF Hit William Regal with the Brass Knuckles

William Regal made his way down the entrance ramp after Jon Moxley was removed from the arena. Regal introduced new AEW World Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman. MJF shared a hug with Regal as the crowd booed. Maxwell demanded the crowd keep their hillbilly mouth’s shut when the best wrestler has the microphone.

MJF read an email William Regal after The Firm attacked him. Regal’s email said that he saw the potential in MJF to become the greatest villain of all time and said he must grab the brass ring instead of the Dynamite Diamond Ring this time.

Maxwell said William Regal wanted MJF to leave Jon Moxley an emotional scar so he will never forget the day Maxwell outsmarted him. MJF brought up The Firm and claimed that he doesn’t hold any resentment. Maxwell said he’s above that and claimed that he’s above the AEW World Championship as well.

MJF stated that he kind of wants to gag in his mouth whenever he looks at the title. Friedman added that the belt is tacky and reminds him of the men who held the title previously. Maxwell said the men are all talented but none of them are on his level.

Friedman threw the title to the floor and Regal presented a new AEW World Championship, the “Triple B” (the big Burberry belt). MJF called Eddie Kingston a “fake tough guy” and the crowd chanted for him. Maxwell claimed Kingston will never be World Champion.

Max brought up Ricky Starks and called him a “fake star”. Friedman claimed Bryan Danielson was “the middest of the mid” and claimed Bryan couldn’t wrestle his way out of a paper bag in comparison to him. MJF stated that he is going to be AEW World Champion all the way until the bidding war of 2024.

Friedman said he will use the championship as a bargaining chip and will make more money in a day than any of the “hicks” in the crowd. MJF once again brought up Nick Khan and Triple H. He said he hopes they sign him in WWE before suggesting Hollywood may win the bidding war because he’s tired of looking at wrestling fans.

MJF claimed that the fans’ happiness will soon turn to resentment because they are fickle. Maxwell added that his haters will be tuning in every week. MJF said he’s a special attraction, so Triple B will be defended very rarely and fans will have to reach into their pockets to buy a PPV.

Maxwell stated he’s going to have a title reign that will make Bruno Sammartino roll in his “shitty little grave”. Friedman added that his reign of terror has just begun. He thanked Regal for giving him the brass knuckles and then punched him in the back of the head.

MJF then told Regal “MJF only hires world-class athletes” as a reference to the email Regal sent him seven years ago. The champion added that Regal is the one who has a lot to learn because he made a deal with the devil. Bryan Danielson rushed the ring to check on Regal as he was loaded onto a stretcher.

Ricky Starks Picked Up A Win

Ricky Starks faced Ari Daivari tonight on Dynamite. Ethan Page, Stokely Hathaway, and MAtt Hardy interrupted. Page vowed to whoop Starks’ ass after MJF does at Winter is Coming.

Jade Cargill came to the ring with the Baddies for the TBS Championship. Cargill stated that she made the Baddies and she says who stays and who goes. Bow Wow interrupted on the jumbotron and said he’ll have “something” for Jade when he shows up in AEW.

Toxic Attraction Opens

1nxt 3

Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, and Jacy Jayne) kicked off the show with an in-ring promo. 

Rose retained her NXT Women’s Championship against Alba Fyre in a Last Woman Standing match this past Tuesday. Rose defeated Fyre after Isla Dawn made her surprise NXT debut by interfering in the match.

So what did they say? Dolin and Jayne talked about how Rose is awaiting her next victim while they refocus on becoming three time NXT Tag Team Champions. 

This led to Carter and Chance coming out to tell them that they’re not better than everyone else. Chance said that Rose didn’t reach all of her accomplishments by herself. They said Toxic Attraction is a train wreck waiting to happen. They said when Rose loses her title then they will lose all equity in NXT. Dolin and Jayne said that they made them relevant and seeing them with the titles make them sick. A brawl broke out with Toxic Attraction laying them out.  

Title Bout

0NXT 3

NXT North American Champion Wes Lee defended the title against Carmelo Hayes.

On the NXT episode on September 13, Solo Sikoa defeated Hayes for the championship. Sikoa wasn’t Hayes’ initial opponent and Shawn Michaels ruled that the victory was void. Instead, the title was challenged in a ladder match at the Halloween Havoc event on October 22, with Lee winning.

The match served as the main event of the show that was back and forth, which had outside interference from Trick Williams. Lee went over with his finisher. Post-match, Dijak laid out Lee. 

Wendy Choo vs. Cora Jade

Wendy Choo vs. Cora Jade in a singles match took place. 

Two weeks ago, Choo stopped Jade from using a kendo stick to attack Valentina Feroz, marking the start of their rivalry. The following week, Jade made Choo the target of her bullying. Last  week’s NXT featured Choo claiming that Jade’s statements were nothing new to her.

The match ended when Jade tossed coffee on Choo’s face. Jade then hit a DDT on Choo for the pinfall win.

Who Is Scrypts?

Scrypts

Scrypts was revealed on this show. 

It was a guy in a mask who teleported from the ringside into the ring. The fans in attendance were chanting Reggie, who used to be on the main roster. He went over by hitting a dive off the top rope for the win to beat Guru Raaj.

In recent weeks, Scrypts has begun sending ominous messages to the WWE Performance Center. Scrypts claimed on last Tuesday’s NXT that they “passed past the guards with ease,” meaning that they have reached NXT. Scrypts concluded the tale by saying, “Next week, you’ll realize that you and I aren’t the same. So tell me, “Who wants to play a quick game first?”
