Note: I accidentally listed Jeff Jarrett as the referee for the tag match. He was supposed to be the referee for the Paul/Rollins match.WWE Summerslam Night Two July 31, 2022 Nissan Stadium Nashville, TN
*The Miz & Austin Theory d. The Street Profits [Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford] & War Raiders [Erik & Ivar] by Pinfall to Win the World Tag Team Titles These three teams had been in each others orbit for several months, and a triple threat match for the World Tag Team Titles had been established. The mentor/student team of The Miz and Austin Theory had their problems staying on the same page in the early going, leading to the match largely being between the War Raiders and The Street Profits, with Miz and Theory breaking up pinfalls to save the titles. In the end, the Profits looked to have the match won, when Theory came in and surprisingly cleared house after the Profits had taken out the champions. Theory hit Ford with the A-Town Down while Miz, surprised at Theory's success, ran interference with Dawkins, allowing Theory to pick up the win and the titles for their team.
*Seth Rollins d. Logan Paul by Pinfall Following their interactions with one another at Money in the Bank, a feud had brewed between Mr. Money in the Bank, Logan Paul, and the Visionary Seth Rollins. To try and keep the peace between them, Adam Pearce recruited WWE Hall of Famer and Nashville native Jeff Jarrett to act as the special guest referee for their one on one match. After an even back and forth match, KSI (one of Paul's entourage from his Internet show) appeared at ringside to distract Jarrett, sliding the Money in the Bank briefcase into the ring for Paul to use. However Rollins ducked the briefcase shot, kicking Paul in the gut and then delivering a Curb Stomp onto the briefcase, before disposing of the evidence. Jarrett then made the count, giving the victory to Rollins. After the match, Paul complained about what happened, and shoved Jarrett, causing Jarrett to deck the Internet star. Rollins handed the Hall of Famer a guitar from the corner, letting Jarrett hit the El Kabong on Paul, breaking the guitar over his head. Together, Rollins and Jarrett then did the Fargo strut together in Nashville.
*The Young Tigers [Mia Yim & Xia Li] d. Toxic Attraction [Gigi Dolan & Jacey Jayne] w/Mandy Rose by Pinfall to Retain the Women's Tag Team Titles The trio of Toxic Attraction had been called up from NXT, despite Mandy Rose having previously lost a "Loser Leaves Town" match to her former tag partner Sonya Deville in the past. While Rose worked out her legal issues, the duo of Gigi Dolan and Jacey Jayne challenged Mia Yim & Xia Li for the Women's Tag Team Titles, with Rose in their corner. Despite this advantage, the champions proved too much to overcome, with each of the Young Tigers hitting dueling cross body blocks from the top rope to get the pinfall victory and retain their titles.
*Ricochet d. Maniac Moss w/Lucky Corbin by Pinfall to Retain the United States Title To the surprise of many, Maniac Moss had won the #1 contendership to the United States Championship, winning a Gauntlet match that included his running buddy, Lucky Corbin. Corbin appeared happy for Moss, but also appeared annoyed that he was being shown up by his "sidekick". In the match against the One and Only, Moss showcased a surprising amount of talent, particularly his power game, tossing around the champion. In the end though, Corbin "accidentally" tripped up Moss on an Irish Whip, allowing Ricochet to take advantage with a Step Up Enziguiri before hitting the 450 for the victory and title retention.
*Drew McIntyre d. Bobby Lashley & Omos w/MVP in a #1 Contenders Match for the Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Championship The feud between Bobby Lashley and Omos had expanded to include Drew McIntyre following Money in the Bank, leading to Adam Pearce making a triple threat match for Summerslam. Sweetening the pot was the fact that the winner would receive a shot at the newly anointed Undisputed Championship at Clash at the Castle in September. McIntyre and Lashley went after Omos together, trying to take out the Nigerian Colossus first before turning their attention towards each other. It worked to an extent, however Omos proved difficult to keep down for long. In the end, Lashley managed to lock Omos in the Hurt Lock, only for Omos to eat a Claymore Kick from McIntyre, causing both men to collapse. McIntyre then followed up with a 2nd Claymore on Lashley to pick up the win and secure another title shot for himself.
*Roman Reigns w/Paul Heyman d. Brock Lesnar in a Last Man Standing Match to Win the WWE Championship AND Retain the World Heavyweight Championship After Brock Lesnar won the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank, he finally "had something Roman was interested in" according to Paul Heyman, causing the Tribal Chief to agree to a title match with the Beast Incarnate. Adam Pearce announced that, per WWE Chief Creative Officer Triple H's instructions, both belts would be on the line, thus creating a truly Undisputed Champion. The Last Man Standing match got off to a hot start, as Lesnar literally rode to the ring in a tractor, parking it right at the entry way. After a short exchange, Lesnar took the fork lift and lifted the corner of the ring, causing the Tribal Chief to tumble outside of it. In the end both Usos attempted to interfere, as did Sami Zayn, wearing down Lesnar enough for Roman to hit a Spear through a barricade. Then with help from the Usos, they delivered a triple power bomb to Lesnar through the announce table, burying Lesnar with debris to keep him down for the 10 count, making Roman the Undisputed World Heavyweight and WWE Champion to close the show.

NXT Heatwave August 7, 2022 Agricenter Showplace Arena Memphis, TN
*The Creed Brothers [Julius & Brutus Creed] d. Pretty Deadly [Kit Wilson & Elton Prince] by Pinfall to Win the NXT Tag Team Titles The feud between the Creed Brothers and Pretty Deadly over the NXT Tag Team Titles had continued throughout the summer, with the amateur stars being thwarted by Wilson & Prince at every turn. Finally newly installed NXT Executive Producer Shawn Michaels made a match between the two teams, with it being the Creed's final shot at the belts combined with a lack of championship advantage for Pretty Deadly. The Creeds took control in the early going and, despite some underhanded tactics from the champions, managed to score the win after hitting Wilson with a Top Rope Shoulder Block combined with an Electric Chair Drop.
*LA Knight w/Jerry Lawler d. Tony D'Angelo w/The Family by Pinfall Tony D'Angelo had appeared on NXT Television demanding a "tax" from LA Knight after the latter appeared without showing the self-professed "Don" of NXT his proper respect. LA Knight paid this tax by costing D'Angelo a shot at the NXT Championship during a contenders tournament. To counter the presence of D'Angelo's family at ringside, LA Knight came with backup in the form of Memphis Wrestling legend and WWE Hall of Famer, Jerry "The King" Lawler. Lawler kept Stacks Lorenzo at bay long enough for LA Knight to hit the BFT on the Don to pick up the victory.
*Zoey Stark d. Indi Hartwell by Pinfall to Win the NXT Women's Championship Zoey Stark had won a Fatal Fourway match on NXT television to crown the new challenger to Indi Hartwell's NXT Women's Championship, and took full advantage of her opportunity coming off an extended break with an injury, eventually hitting Hartwell with the Z-360 to score the upset and become the new NXT Women's Champion.
*Ilya Dragunov d. Cameron Grimes w/Bronson Reed by Pinfall There had been growing issues between Cameron Grimes and his enforcer, Bronson Reed, for several weeks leading into this match. Grimes was facing Ilya Dragunov in a de facto #1 contenders match for the NXT Championship in the future, with both men having traded victories with the other over the course of several weeks. The Mad Maestro of the Mat started off strong, but was laid out by a clothesline from Reed. This blatant interference though caused Reed to be thrown out from ringside by the official, leaving Grimes on his own. Reed would attempt to come back out, distracting the ref again and allowing Grimes to cheat with powder into the face of Dragunov, only to get a two count. Dragunov made a comeback though and hit the Torpedo Moscow out of nowhere, followed by an H-Bomb from the top rope to pick up the win. After the match, Grimes blamed Reed, only for the Aussie to finally drop Grimes on the ground and hit his former employer with a Tsunami, squashing him flat.
*Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez d. The Young Tigers [Mia Yim & Xia Li] by Pinfall to Win the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles Two young stars in the NXT Women's division, Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez, teamed up to take on the Young Tigers for the WWE Women's Tag Titles. To the surprise of many, Perez and Jade were more than a match for the champions, eventually scoring an upset title victory after Perez hit Xia Li with the Pop Rox, bringing the Women's Tag Titles back to NXT for the first time in a long time.
*Grayson Waller d. Carmelo Hayes w/Trick Williams by Pinfall to Win the NXT North American Championship A war of words had erupted from when Grayson Waller invited the NXT North American Champion, Carmelo Hayes, onto his talk show the Grayson Waller effect. This war of words, combined with Waller attacking Hayes' hype man Trick Williams, effectively turned the Champion Babyface against the hated Aussie. In this title match, Williams accompanied Hayes to the ring, but had to be taken out on a stretcher after Waller rammed him head first into the ring post, giving him another concussion. Hayes concern for Williams obviously played into the loss, as Hayes was caught unaware by a Rolling Stunner before being finished off with a Aussie Impact to give Waller the win and the North American Title.
*Schism [Joe Gacy, Karrion Kross & JD McDonagh] w/Scarlett d. The Breakker Crew [Bron, Von & Ben Breakker] in an Empty Arena Match Karrion Kross was set to originally face Bron Breakker in a title match at Heatwave, but the fights between Joe Gacy's Schism group (which had recently added JD McDonagh to its roster) and The Breakker Crew led to NXT Executive Producer Shawn Michaels postponing that match to an episode of NXT per Bron's request, and instead booking a 6 Man Empty Arena match that used the legendary Mid-South Coliseum as a backdrop for a good old fashioned Memphis brawl. All six men could fight in the match, but only the team captains (in this case Gacy and Bron Breakker) could be pinned. After a long brawl with each other, eventually Kross hit Breakker with a Pump Handle Slam off a ledge and onto the concourse below, allowing Gacy to make a cover to get the win, as medical personnel crowded the NXT champion to tend to his obviously hurt body to close the show.

WWE Clash at the Castle September 3, 2022 Principality Stadium Cardiff, Wales
*Sami Zayn & Jey Uso w/Jimmy Uso d. DIY [Johnny Gargano & Tomasso Ciampa] by Pinfall to Win the WWE Tag Team Titles AFter losing the WWE Tag Team Titles at Summerslam, The Usos were granted a rematch at DIY at the UK based PLE, Clash at the Castle. However on the Smackdown right before the event, Jimmy Uso suffered a shoulder injury that would keep him from being cleared to wrestle on this night. Sami Zayn stepped in, with the blessing of the Tribal Chief Roman Reigns, to team with Jey Uso instead. Despite some issues early on, Zayn and Uso were able to gel together as a team, hitting several spots similar to the Usos. Gargano and Ciampa isolated Jey for a brief time, but Sami made the hot tag and took out Johnny Wrestling, before Jey saved him from an attempted Fairy Tale Ending from Ciampa. Zayn then hit his own version of an Uso Splash on Gargano to pick up the win and regain the tag titles for the Bloodline.
*Logan Paul & Seth Rollins Had a Pull Apart Brawl Mr. Money in the Bank, Logan Paul, appeared to the crowd to welcome them to Clash at the Castle, of which he was the official host. He also pointed out World Boxing Champion Tyson Fury at ringside, though claimed that his brother Jake could knock out the "Gypsy King." Paul's spiel was interrupted by Seth Rollins, who had been trying to challenge Paul to another match for the Money in the Bank briefcase after defeating him at Summerslam (a result which Paul got management to "officially reverse" to a DQ victory for him, threatening a lawsuit if he didn't get his way.) Paul turned this down and insulted Rollins again, including insulting Rollins' young daughter. This led to Seth snapping and the two having a pull apart brawl, which ended when Paul managed to hit Seth with the MITB briefcase, knocking him out.
*Dominik Mysterio w/Rhea Ripley d. Edge w/Beth Phoenix by Pinfall The night after Summerslam, Dominik Mysterio explained that he was tired of being dictated to by his father and having his life controlled by a "Deadbeat Dad" who was never there. He allied himself with the Judgment Day and Rhea Ripley specifically. On that same episode though, Edge returned to seek revenge on the group that he had formed and that had tried to exile him, leading to Adam Pearce making the first "official" match for Dom in the Judgment Day against the Hall of Famer. Dominik struggled against the Rated R Superstar, who came to the ring with his wife Beth Phoenix to try and offset the presence of Ripley. Edge's domination continued right up until Phoenix and Ripley got into a fight on the outside. This distraction allowed Dominik to pull out a pair of Brass Knuckles and then KO Edge with them, scoring the pin afterwards and the huge upset over the Hall of Famer.
*Damage Control [Bayley, Io Shirai & Dakota Kai] d. Liv Morgan, Charlotte Flair & Asuka by Pinfall The match between Liv Morgan and Asuka at Summerslam had ended in No Contest when Bayley returned with a new faction in tow. Calling themselves Damage Control, Bayley had teamed with Dakota Kai and Io Shirai in order to dominate the Women's Division. Morgan and Asuka enlisted the help of Charlotte Flair for this six woman Tag Match. The newly formed trio of Damage Control had much more cohesion as a unit, as they isolated the champion Morgan and kept Flair and Asuka out of the match as much as possible. Once the Empress of Tomorrow did make a tag, she cleaned house on Damage Control, but Bayley was able to sneak back into the match and clip Asuka in her injured knee. Morgan came back in for the save, but got caught with a roll up from behind by Bayley which garnered a three count, after the Role Model held the tights for extra leverage, pinning the champion.
*Gunther w/Imperium d. Sheamus w/The Donnybrook Club by Pinfall to Retain the Intercontinental Title The feud between Imperium and The Donnybrook Club continued as Gunther defended the Intercontinental Championship against a man who had never held that championship, Sheamus. The two stood eye to eye in the ring while the other members of their respective factions began fighting with one another, brawling all the way to the back. Gunther and Sheamus then beat the tar out of each other, with the Celtic Warrior coming close to knocking off the Ring General on numerous occasions. In the end Gunther hit one final massive powerbomb and then followed up with a top rope splash for the hard earned victory, which the crowd stood at cheered for both men.
*Ronda Rousey d. Bianca Belair by Submission to Win the Women's World Championship After Bianca Belair had defeated Ronda Rousey at Summerslam, the Baddest Woman on the Planet had feigned sportsmanship, before targeting the EST and trying to injure her arm. This had continued for weeks following this, leading into a Submission Match for the title at Clash at the Castle. Rousey targeted the arm of Belair, while Bianca tried to take out Ronda's legs, locking her in a Figure-4 at one point and nearly getting Ronda to submit. Eventually the referee was knocked out by an errant shot from Belair, who then hit the KOD on Ronda and locked in a Crossface on Ronda, getting a visible tap out. However Shayna Baszler came from nowhere with a lead pipe and drilled Bianca in the arm, causing her to scream out in pain and break the hold. Baszler cleared out of the ring as Rousey then locked on her Armbar. Bianca at first refused to give up, but the pain became too much and she was eventually forced to tap out to Ronda, who won the title and then left with Baszler by her side.
*Roman Reigns w/Paul Heyman d. Drew McIntyre w/Tyson Fury by Pinfall to Retain the Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Championship Buoyed by his home country advantage of the United Kingdom and accompanied by Tyson Fury to offset any Bloodline interference (though Zayn and Jey Uso had been kicked out of the building by Adam Pearce in a backstage segment to try and avoid interference), Drew McIntyre seemed to have as good a shot as anyone to finally knock off Roman Reigns and end his 2 year plus title reign. McIntyre and Reigns fought hard throughout the match, and at one point both men were knocked down, struggling to get to their feet. Logan Paul then ran down, attempting to cash in his Money in the Bank briefcase, only for Fury to KO punch him to stop the cash in. Fury and Paul had a brawl with each other, which caused a distraction, allowing Roman to hit McIntyre with a belt shot, which only garnered a two. Roman then tried to hit McIntyre with a Spear, but missed, hitting the referee instead. McIntyre then hit a Claymore Kick, knocking out the champion. Drew got a visible pin before being forced to pull the referee over, who groggily counted a two, before McIntyre was pulled out of the ring by a hooded figure. The hooded man grabbed McIntyre and through him into the steel ring steps before tossing him back in the ring while the referee tried to regain his faculties, unaware of the situation. The hooded figure then removed his hood, revealing Solo Sikoa, the younger brother of the Usos. Roman took advantage and hit Drew with a Spear to finish him off and get the win again, being showered with boos from the stunned crowd to close the show.

WWE Extreme Rules October 8, 2022 Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia, PA
*The Baddest Women on the Planet [Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler] d. Becky Lynch & Bianca Belair by Pinfall Former MMA stars Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler had joined forces as the titular "Baddest Women on the Planet", with the Queen of Spades becoming the enforcer to Ronda's newly earned title reign as Women's World Champion. Though she had a title defense against Becky Lynch on the horizon, Rousey and her partner would first have to deal with The Man and former Women's World Champion Bianca Belair. There was still animosity lingering between Lynch and Belair, however, preventing them from geling as a team, and allowing Rousey to get the pinfall victory on Lynch after catching her with Piper's Pit, following a miscommunication between Becky and the EST. After the match, Lynch and Belair continued to argue, before having to be separated by security, as Rousey and Baszler headed to the back, smiles on their face.
*Bray Wyatt w/Bo Dallas d. Damian Priest w/Finn Balor by Pinfall The Judgment Day, since excising Edge from its ranks, were seemingly bent on correcting all the "wrongs" put against them that year. This led Damian Priest to challenge former WWE Champion Bray Wyatt to a match at Extreme Rules. Despite judicious interference from Finn Balor, Wyatt was able to push back against the Archer of Infamy, hitting Priest with Sister Abigail to pick up the win. After the match though, Priest, Balor and the debuting Dijak, performed a triple team on Wyatt and Dallas, leaving the brothers lying as the Judgment Day stood stronger than ever.
*Lucky Corbin d. Maniac Moss by Pinfall in a Strap Match The partnership between Maniac Moss and Lucky Corbin had been irreparably severed on Smackdown, mostly owing to Corbin's jealousy at Moss' recent string of success. After Corbin got himself intentionally counted out in a match on Smackdown, Adam Pearce ordered a strap match at Extreme Rules to ensure that there would be a winner. Moss used his surprising amount of power to toss Corbin around the ring as far as the strap would throw him, but Corbin used his veteran savvy to catch Moss with the End of Days, scoring a quick pinfall to escape the match for now.
*Solo Sikoa w/Paul Heyman d. Drew McIntyre by Pinfall After costing Drew McIntyre the Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Championship at Clash at the Castle, the newest member of the Bloodline in Solo Sikoa took on the Scottish Warrior in his first singles match on the main roster. With Paul Heyman by his side, Sikoa dominated McIntyre to the surprise of everyone, eventually dodging a Claymore Kick from the former champion and then hitting him with a Samoan Spike for the win.
*Bayley w/Damage Control d. Liv Morgan w/Asuka by Pinfall in an Extreme Rules Match to Win the Women's Championship After a victory in the six woman tag at Clash at the Castle, Bayley took on Liv Morgan in an Extreme Rules Match for the Women's Championship. Morgan was originally slated to have both Asuka and Charlotte Flair in her corner, but Flair was in absentia, ostensibly because she had "missed her flight" to the event. This left Morgan one woman down, and Damage Control was able to turn the tide for their leader. Morgan hit the Oblivion DDT, but Dakota Kai placed Bayley's leg on the rope, breaking the pin. This led to Asuka going after Kai, only to eat a diving cross body from Io Shirai. The brawl on the outside gave Bayley the chance to hit Morgan with a neckbreaker and then hit a top rope elbow drop for the win, capturing the Women's Title.
*Edge & Beth Phoenix d. Dominik Mysterio & Rhea Ripley After his upset victory over Edge the previous month, "Dirty Dom" was insufferable in claiming he was the greatest of all time. Edge however went to Adam Pearce with an idea for a rematch, making a mixed tag match between Mysterio and his "Mami" Rhea Ripley, against Edge and his wife, the Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix. Ripley did her best to keep Phoenix in the match, taking advantage of Beth being out of in-ring shape, but once Edge came in it was all over. In the end, Edge and Phoenix hit dueling Spears on both Mysterio and Ripley, with Edge pinning Dominik for the victory. After the match though Judgment Day returned in force, attacking their former leader. Edge was then made to watch as Rhea Ripley hit Beth Phoenix with a Con-Chair-To on the ground. Judgment Day then left as Edge cradled his wife as EMT's came to help her out.
*Sami Zayn d. Kevin Owens in an Unsanctioned Match With Sami Zayn becoming ensconced within the Bloodline (even unquestioningly turning over his half of the WWE Tag Team Titles to Jimmy Uso at Roman Reigns' command), he was questioned by his longtime friend, sometimes foe, Kevin Owens. Owens reminded Sami that they came up in the business together, and asked him where his loyalties truly lay. Zayn responded that he had found a new family in the Bloodline, leading Owens to want to "Beat Some Sense" into Zayn. Adam Pearce wouldn't sanction the fight between the two after they got into a series of brawls on television, meaning this match would be Unsanctioned. Both men fought in street clothes and battled throughout the arena, with Owens even hitting a Package Piledriver through a table to Zayn. Before he could pin him though, Zayn was saved by both Usos, who superkicked Owens and handcuffed him, allowing Zayn to waylay him with a Singapore Cane repeatedly before delivering a Helluva Kick that knocked out Owens, giving Zayn the win. Zayn then celebrated with the Usos to close the show. |

NXT Halloween Havoc October 22, 2022 State Farm Arena Atlanta, GA
*Lyra Valkyria d. Tiffany Stratton, Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez by Pinfall to Become #1 Contender to the NXT Women's Championship The women's tag team champions, Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez, were placed into a Fatal Fourway match in which the winner would become the #1 contender for the NXT Women's Championship. Placed in a match against both Lyra Valkyria and Tiffany Stratton, it was though the tag champions would have an easy time with one of them becoming #1 contender, but an argument arose between the two friends, with both Jade and Perez trying to become the winner. This left an opening for Valkyria, who hit a roundhouse kick on Stratton followed by the Nightwing for the surprise victory.
*The Creed Brothers [Julius & Brutus Creed] d. The D'Angelo Family [Tony D'Angelo & Stacks Lorenzo] w/Donny Two Dimes by Pinfall to Retain the NXT Tag Team Titles The D'Angelo Family had been having a power struggle between Stacks Lorenzo and Donny Two Dimes recently, leading to a "sitdown" at a restaraunt in Orlando that was interrupted by The Creed Brothers (who were just there to have dinner). This "disrespect" to the Don led to a tag title match at Halloween Havoc, where again the family issues reared their ugly head, as Donny Two Dimes "accidentally" tripped up Lorenzo, before the Creeds finished off D'Angelo with their Doomsday Creed finisher to pick up the win.
*Bronson Reed d. Cameron Grimes by Pinfall The Aussie Destroyer, Bronson Reed, had finally broken away from his employer Cameron Grimes and struck out on his own. This despite Grimes still having Reed under contract for "an exorbinent number of years." This led to a match where, if Reed lost, he would leave NXT and WWE, and if he won he would be free of Grimes' contract. Despite the Venture Capitalist doing everything in his power to stop Reed, Bronson over powered him and eventually hit the Tsunami for the victory.
*Grayson Waller d. Wes Lee by Pinfall to Retain the NXT North American Title Former NXT Tag Team Champion Wes Lee had struck out on his own as a singles competitor, and had been on a winning streak, eventually earning himself a shot at Grayson Waller's NXT North American Championship. Lee and Waller had an even match, and it appeared Lee had the match won after hitting Waller with the Cardiac Kick, but Waller was able to get his foot on the rope at the last possible moment to break up the pin. Lee thought he had won and was celebrating, and this distraction gave Waller time to come over and roll up Wes Lee from behind, using the ropes for additional leverage to get the surprise pin and steal the title back. Waller then hightailed it out of the arena.
*Zoey Stark d. Ivy Nile by Pinfall to Retain the NXT Women's Title The pitbull of NXT, Ivy Nile, was undefeated heading into this title match against Zoey Stark for the NXT Women's Championship. The two women had a staredown heading into the match on the Grayson Waller Effect, where they affirmed their respect for one another, and it was also announced that WWE Hall of Famer Trish Stratus would be the special guest referee for their match. After a hard fought match, Nile tried to get Stark up in the Torture Rack, only for Zoey to get a near fall on a crucifix pin. Following this, Stark took advantage of the discombobulation to hit the Z360 on Nile to pick up the win and hand Nile her first pinfall loss in NXT. Stark then raised Nile's hand as the two women shook each others hands in victory, with both being congratulated by Stratus as well.
*Bron Breakker d. Karrion Kross in a Steel Cage Match to Win the NXT Championship The Breakker Crew defeated Schism on an episode of NXT leading into this Championship rematch, earning the right to decide what the stipulation for the match would be. Bron chose a steel cage match, trying to ensure that Joe Gacy and his faction would stay out of the match. The champion and former champion had a hard hitting hoss fight in the cage, which saw Kross nearly win after locking Breakker in the Kross Jacket. Bron was able to break to the hold in a display of power, and hit two massive Spears on Kross that gave him a near fall. Breakker then hit a Spear on Kross through the cage wall, with both men landing on the floor simultaneously. The referees converged and decided that Breakker had won the match, despite the protestations of Joe Gacy at ringside. Breakker would leave with the NXT Title, having temporarily slaying the Walking Apocalypse to close the show.

WWE Rising Sun November 5, 2022 Toyota Stadium Toyota, Japan
*Shinsuke Nakamura d. Ricochet by Pinfall to Win the United States Title To kick off the WWE's return to Japan, native son Shinsuke Nakamura challenged Ricochet for the United States Championship. The crowd ate up Nakamura's return to action (having been only seen sporadically for months due to a wrist injury), and the King of Strong Style lived up to his name, grounding the One and Only and then hitting him with a Boma Ye in the center of the ring to pick up the win and capture the United States Championship.
*Drew McIntyre & DIY [Johnny Gargano & Tomasso Ciampa] d. The Usos [Jimmy & Jey Uso] & Sami Zayn w/Solo Sikoa by Pinfall With Sami Zayn firmly insconced in the Bloodline (now even being referred to colloquially as "Sami Uso"), he teamed with the WWE Tag Team Champions against DIY and Drew McIntyre, who were all seeking revenge against the faction. Solo Sikoa's attempted interference was cast aside early on, as he was ejected from ringside, but that didn't stop the Bloodline from taking advantage in the course of the match. By the end, though, everything broke down, leaving only Zayn and McIntyre in the ring. Zayn attempted a Helluva Kick against the Scottish Warrior, but McIntyre ducked out of the way before hitting Zayn with a Claymore Kick to get the pinfall and some measure of revenge on the Bloodline.
*The Miz & Austin Theory d. Imperium [Giovanni Vinci & Ludwig Kaiser] w/Gunther by Pinfall to Retain the World Tag Team Titles The teacher-student partnership of The Miz and Austin Theory continued to be an odd couple relationship, but an effective one, as they had successfully defended the World Tag Team Titles against both Alpha Academy and The War Raiders in recent weeks. Against Giovanni Vinci and Ludwig Kaiser, they continued their winning ways, with Miz in particular getting the hot tag and saving Theory from defeat, before Miz hit Kaiser with the Skull Crushing Finale to pick up the win and retain the titles.
*Ronda Rousey w/Shayna Baszler d. Becky Lynch by Pinfall to Retain the Women's World Championship After besting Bianca Belair thanks to the return of her friend, Shayna Baszler, the Baddest Champion in WWE, Ronda Rousey, faced off against old rival Becky Lynch at this event. Lynch controlled much of the match, but was suddenly distracted by the arrival of Dakota Kai at ringside for an inexplicable reason. This distraction prevented Lynch from taking advantage of a fallen Rousey, and allowed Baszler to toss the Women's Title Belt into the ring behind the referee's back, which Ronda then decked Lynch with. Ronda then pinned The Man to retain her title.
*Seth Rollins & Tyson Fury d. Logan & Jake Paul by Pinfall After boxing champion Tyson Fury had stopped Logan Paul from cashing in his Money in the Bank contract at Clash at the Castle, the Gypsy King was invited onto Paul's podcast, where he was confronted by Logan's brother Jake. The Paul Brothers challenged Tyson to a handicap match at a WWE show, but Fury turned them down, suggesting a tag match instead. When they agreed Fury revealed his partner as Seth Rollins. The Visionary and Fury had little difficulty with the Pauls, despite Logan's athleticism stopping Rollins on a couple of occasions, with Fury knocking out Jake with a right hand to pick up the victory.
*Asuka d. Bayley w/Damage Control by Disqualification [Bayley Retains the Women's Championship] After Bayley defeated Liv Morgan to win the WWE Women's Championship, she faced another tough challenge in the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka, in her home country of Japan. However the match between the two would be short lived, as Asuka was attacked about 5 minutes into the match by the Baddest Women on the Planet, Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler, apparently returning the receipt for Damage Control's help in Ronda's match earlier. The 5 women then stood in the ring with their hands raised after the DQ win for Asuka.
*Roman Reigns w/Paul Heyman d. AJ Styles by Pinfall to Retain the Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Championship AJ Styles had been granted another shot at Roman Reigns' Undisputed WWE World Heavyweight Championship, this time in a country where Styles had been a formidable competitor for several years. With the Bloodline barred from ringside, Reigns and Styles had an even fight, and Reigns even got a taste of his own medicine when he was temporarily distracted by John Cena on the outside (Cena was the guest commentator for the event and had been their all night). Reigns survived a Phenomenal Forearm though and attempted to use Paul Heyman to distract the referee, only for Cena to dispose of Heyman by punching him out on the outside. This brought Solo Sikoa out from the crowd, who laid out Cena with a Samoan Drop through the announce table. As security tried to keep Sikoa back, Reigns countered a Styles Clash setup with a deliberate lowblow behind the referee's back, and then hit a Spear to finish off Styles and once again retain his title. Reigns once again celebrating with both of his belts to close the show. |

WWE Survivor Series November 26, 2022 TD Garden Boston, MA
*Bianca Belair, Becky Lynch, Asuka, Liv Morgan & Charlotte Flair d. Damage Control [Bayley, Dakota Kai & Io Shirai] & The Baddest Women on the Planet [Ronda Rousey & Shayna Baszler] in a WarGames Match The Women's WarGames match saw a continuation of the alliance between Damage Control and the Baddest Women on the Planet, as they sought to control the Women's Division in WWE. An alliance of faces (dubbed by announcers as the "Avengers Assemble" for the Women's Division) challenged them, including a returning Charlotte Flair from a brief injury, despite Flair and Becky Lynch having a history of problems with each other. Despite several high flying feats from Io Shirai for her team, the baby faces were able to win after Flair locked Bayley in a Figure 8 to secure the victory for her team, while the other women hit their finishers on the other heels, leaving the babyfaces to stand tall in the match.
*Gunther w/Imperium d. The Miz w/Austin Theory by Technical Submission to Retain the Intercontinental Title After defeating Imperium to retain the World Tag Team Titles, The Miz set his sights on the leader of the faction, challenging Gunther for the Intercontinental Championship. Miz was the most decorated IC Champion in history, and looked to add a 9th reign to his career. He gave Gunther a surprisingly good fight, and seemingly had the Ring General beat with the Skull Crushing Finale, but an untimely distraction from his partner, Austin Theory, prevented the referee from making the count. Gunther eventually made a comeback and hit a powerbomb on Miz for the victory. After the match, it appeared that Theory was going to apologize to his mentor, only for Theory to kick Miz below the belt and then hit his partner with the A-Town Down. Theory then threw down his tag title belt and left the ring.
*The Unholy Union [Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn] d. Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez by Pinfall to Win the Women's Tag Team Titles The Women's Tag Title match was seemingly "cursed", as the Unholy Union of Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn had placed a curse on the tag team of Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez, causing the best friends to have a fight with each other and mistime their attacks. However this kayfabe curse would strike a real life chord, as Jade landed awkwardly on a dive to the outside, hurting her knee. Medics would tend to her as Perez would have to fend off both of the challengers, eventually being hit by a cross body from Alba Fyre to give the Union the victory and help them regain the titles.
*Logan Paul d. Seth Rollins in a Ladder Match to Retain the Money in the Bank Briefcase After months of feuding with each other, Logan Paul wanted a final confrontation with the Visionary, Seth Rollins at Survivor Series. The only way Rollins would grant Paul the match is if the Maverick would put his Money in the Bank briefcase on the line in a ladder match. Both men performed high flying moves of daring do, but Logan Paul was able to outlast Rollins long enough to grab the briefcase from the top of the ladder to retain his guanranteed title shot.
*Edge, Bray Wyatt, Bo Dallas, Kofi Kingston & Braun Strowman d. The Judgment Day [Finn Balor, Damian Priest, Dijak & Dominik Mysterio] & Xavier Woods w/Rhea Ripley in a Survivor Series Match A traditional Survivor Series Match was held between the Judgment Day and their list of enemies, including the Wyatts and Edge. The baby faces recruited Kofi Kingston and a returning Braun Strowman as their additional partners, while the Judgment Day went with Xavier Woods as their fifth man, the former New Day still hopelessly divided. - Xavier Woods d. Kofi Kingston by Pinfall - Bray Wyatt d. Xavier Woods by Pinfall - Damian Priest d. Bo Dallas by Pinfall - Braun Strowman d. Damian Priest by Pinfall - Dijak & Braun Strowman Were Both Disqualified - Bray Wyatt d. Finn Balor by Pinfall - Edge d. Dominik Mysterio by Pinfall Sole Survivors: Edge & Bray Wyatt
*The Bloodline [Roman Reigns, Jey & Jimmy Uso, Solo Sikoa & Sami Zayn] w/Paul Heyman d. Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, Drew McIntyre & DIY [Johnny Gargano & Tomasso Ciampa] in a WarGames Match The Bloodline had done everything they could to try and take out various partners in this match, including Matt Riddle being shelved by The Usos, and John Cena being sent to the hospital by Solo Sikoa. Down one man on the day of the show, the babyfaces turned to a returning Kevin Owens, who hadn't been seen since being sent to the hospital at Extreme Rules. Owens came in and cleaned house as the last man for his team, even taking out the previously untouchable Solo Sikoa with a Pop Up Powerbomb through a table. However, it would all be for nought, as Sami Zayn again saved Roman Reigns from defeat, interrupting the attempted pin by Owens and forsaking his former best friend once more. The Usos then eventually hit a pair of Uso Splashes from the top of the cage to both members of DIY to pick up the win for the Bloodline, with the faction standing tall to end the show.

NXT Deadline December 10, 2022 VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena Jacksonville, FL
*Pretty Deadly [Elton Prince & Kit Wilson] d. Chase University [Andre Chase & Duke Hudson] w/Theia Hall & Charlie Matthews by Pinfall The "educational institution" Chase University had recently added a new "all-star" recruit to their lineup, namely Charlie Matthews (the real life son of former NXT General Manager William Regal). Matthews was not in this match, instead standing by to try and show "spirit" as Chase and Duke Hudson took on former NXT Tag Champions Pretty Deadly. Despite Matthews trying to give Chase some pointers, the headmaster of Chase U declined to listen, and he eventually fell victim to a double powerbomb from Prince and Wilson. After the match, Pretty Deadly tried a two on one beatdown of Chase, only to be beaten back by Matthews, who got Prince in a submission hold and made him tap out in no time flat as Chase and Hudson looked on in amazement.
*Dragon Lee d. Cameron Grimes by Pinfall For several weeks their had been advertisements of the debuting Lucha star Dragon Lee coming to NXT. The venture capitalist Cameron Grimes dismissed Lee as a "flippy-doo" wrestler, and challenged the incoming sensation to a match at Deadline. Any question of Lee's credentials would quickly be silenced, as Lee easily bested Grimes, hitting him with a Dragon Driver for the relatively easy win.
*Ilya Dragunov d. Grayson Waller by Pinfall to Win the NXT North American Championship A feud had started between Ilya Dragunov and Grayson Waller after the latter had "inadvertently" cost Dragunov an opportunity at the NXT Chamber Match for the Vacant NXT Championship, leading to the Mad Maestro of the Mat challenging Waller for his North American Title. Their first match ended with Waller getting himself intentionally counted out, leading to NXT producer Shawn Michaels to give this match a No Championship Advantage Stipulation. This would lead the Aussie Icon into defeat, as he caught a sudden Torpedo Moscow when going for a Rolling Stunner, which Dragunov followed up with an H-Bomb to pick up the win and the title.
*The Creed Brothers [Brutus & Julius Creed] d. Gallus [Joe & Mark Coffey] by Pinfall to Retain the NXT Tag Team Titles In a standard tag team match, The Creed Brothers successfully defended their NXT Tag Team Titles against the Coffey brothers known as Gallus, hitting their modified Doomsday Device finisher for the victory. After the match though, the Creed brothers were approached by the returning Gallows and Anderson, who made a motion that they were coming to NXT and they were coming for the NXT Tag Titles.
*Zoey Stark d. Wendy Choo by Pinfall to Retain the NXT Women's Championship In another standard title match, Zoey Stark defeated Wendy Choo to retain her NXT Women's Championship, hitting the Z360 for the victor, despite the presence of the #1 contender Tiffany Stratton at ringside trying to provide a distraction to Stark.
*Bron Breakker d. Karrion Kross, Joe Gacy, Tony D'Angelo, Carmelo Hayes & Bronson Reed in an Elimination Chamber Match to Win the Vacant NXT Championship After the controversial manner in which Bron Breakker had defeated Karrion Kross for the NXT Championship at Halloween Havoc, Shawn Michaels decided it best to vacate the championship and organized an Elimination Chamber match to crown a new undisputed NXT Champion. Schism would gain a slight advantage, as both Kross and stable leader Joe Gacy would qualify for the Chamber, facing Breakker, Tony D'Angelo, Carmelo Hayes and Bronson Reed. All the figures would gain up on Reed once he entered the match, taking out the big man early, but in the end it would again come down to Bron Breakker and Karrion Kross, as Breakker finally hit a Spear through one of the Plexiglass pods and then hit a Frankensteiner out of nowhere in the ring to pick up the win over the Walking Apocalypse and once again become the Undisputed NXT Champion to close out Deadline.
Off-Camera Title Changes:
December 30: Charlotte Flair d. Bayley for the WWE Women's Championship
January 2: Imperium [Giovanni Vinci & Ludwig Kaiser] d. The Street Profits in a Tournament Final for the World Tag Team Titles
January 3: Gallows & Anderson d. The Creed Brothers for the NXT Tag Team Titles
