Tony D'Angelo is ranting in Robert Stone's office and says that if Waller lays a finger on anyone at his house he is going to kill him. Stone tries to calm him and says he has someone on the way there. Tony storms out and says he's going home while Stone makes sure someone follows him.
Cruz Montana says the worst part about of last week wasn't the embarrassment or Dion thinking he got one up on him. It was how he felt inside and he had to make that call because when security held him down for a split second he wasn't the Cruz Montana that he's proud of being, he was the guy he spent years trying to keep buried away. He says it was Dion's hands that pulled that man out again but once he gets his hands on Dion there won't be anyone who can pull him off. He warns Dion that because he brought his family into this he's going to turn DIon into the man he used to be.
Izzy Dame says knew Zaria's mask would eventually slip she just didn't expect it to happen this quickly. Growing up she hid behind different hobbies to try and be popular until she tried to become this unstoppable monster until she came to NXT. Then she made a friend, someone she would tear down all her barriers for and look where it led her. Izzy says she is going to expose that Zaria is still exactly who she always was.
Tony D'Angelo arrives at his house but gets a call as he approaches the front door. Tony's phone rings and Waller is on the line to taunt Tony saying he just missed him and he got to tell his wife and gremlin what an embarrassment he is to his face. Tony demands to know where he's at and Waller says he got a bit hungry so he left.
Kam Hendrix is at a basketball court and asks how the hell is EK Prosper in a North American Championship match tonight while he's the best athlete in NXT? We get a montage of Kam shooting hoops.
Myles Borne and Tavion Heights are in the ring with a wall of security between them. Tavion says Myles needs all this security to stop him from throwing Myles into the fifth row but Myles says the security is there to protect Tavion. Heights says it's clear Myles won't attack him unless his back is turned and back in the day he was the one who always had his six. Tavion says if he got to finish last week he says Myles has to attack from behind because he's a coward always looking for someone else to blame. Myles says he ditched Tavion before and look what it got him, he won the North American Championship from Ethan Page, something that Tavion couldn't do. Tavion hasn't done anything by himself and knew if he latched himself to Myles for long enough he'd stumble upon some gold. He says he gave Tavion everything while Tavion took everything from Myles. Tavion snaps and says he's at his best when his back is against the world and it's about time he reminds these people that he is a weapon in human form that won a world medal. Myles tells him to keep holding onto his glory. Tavion says this is going to be an ass whooping he can actually hear and goes to attack Myles but security hits the two back. Danhausen's voice comes over the arena and says this is the perfect match to raise the stakes and has the druids spin the wheel to make the deal. The wheel lands on weapons wild!
Darkstate are celebrating their plan from last week going off when Robert Stone walks by and asks what the hell was that. Dion says they wanted Cruz to give in to his impulses and is ready to take him on again. Stone says if they want to face off again it'll have to be an unsanctioned match because he refuses to sign off on it. Dion agrees and vows to send him back to rock bottom.
Tony is at the restaurant looking around for Waller when one of the staff tell him he just left and there's a note on the table saying to return where it all started.
At Raw last night Kelani Jordan complains to Adam Pearce about the rumors of having to defend her NXT Women's Championship next Wednesday. Iyo Sky walks in and says she already has a meeting with Pearce but Kelani says this is her time and she's a champ while Iyo isn't. Iyo says Kelani has changed since she saw her last and Kelani says she can't wait to get called up so she can put Iyo in her place.
Backstage Kendall Gray says there is no way Kelani is putting her on the shelf again and Wren promises to take care of Jordan.
Next week Cody Rhodes will present the winner of the the Dusty Cup. Also John Cena will be there live!
Zilla Fatu is interviewed and says nobody is worried about no Birthright, since he's been here they've been giving him problem after problem but all he knows is to punch and swing because it's a Fatu thang. Arianna Grace comes out and says without his last name Zilla would be nothing and he has to realize he actually can be something with them. Zilla says he's the main one and gets hyped up but one of the druids standing by the wheel strikes Zilla with a shovel and the other druids reveal themselves to be Birthright. Charlie then smashes Zilla's wrist with the shovel.
Shiloh Hill is in his lab and says he's found a lot of counter to the other mists but still is researching how to counteract the black mist. He has consulted some books and got new lab equipment but he can't even figure out how it works just that it can blind someone and leave them in immense pain. The only counter he's thought of is a full hazmat suit to block the mist. He says the good news is that he's been practicing with the other mists and now the mist-ee has become the mister and he's ready for any color at Halloween Havoc.
Zaria says Izzy Dame doesn't know a damn thing about her and everyone will see exactly what she does to her on Saturday and storms off.
Grayson Waller makes his way down to the ring, he says that he's been waiting a long time for this and he wanted to show to Tony that he's always been one step ahead of him. Tony drove all over town driving himself crazy while Waller was always in the future. Waller says he's the NXT Champion and there's ain't a damn thing he can do about it, he isn't a shark he's just a little fish taking the bait. Tony's truck is shown arriving in the parking lot and Waller runs outside to meet him. The two instantly start brawling in the parking lot as an army of officials and security try to pull them apart. Tony tosses Waller into the back of his truck and they continue fighting.

Who are some wrestlers that ruined their careers over the dumbest stuff.
I'm thinking of things like Jonathan Gresham being upset over having to drop the ROH title to Claudio, because he was ranked in the PWI 500.

The Bechdel Test, but wrestling .. 2026 Q3 Report
I've been tracking the weekly representation of women in both AEW + WWE, through the Red Belt Test - rating, and scoring the shows against 5 criteria:
1. Are there at least two women's matches on the card?
2. Do women's matches account for at least 25% of the total match time?
3. Are there at least two women's segments, promos, or interviews featured on the show?
4. Is there a women's match with a defined consequence, or stipulation? (eg. Title match, number one contender's match .. Stakes - what's on the line?)
5. Are women billed in the main event?
(PLEs / PPVs are scored out of 4, with no segments/promos/etc. included, and stipulations in place of title stakes)
Edit: The test is inspired by Alison Bechdel, and named after the 80's era of AJW.
.. The 5 main takeaways from this quarter:
• Only 2 of the 53 weekly shows scored a perfect 5 .. One from each company. AEW dropped from 5 perfect scores in Q2, while WWE again, only managed the 1.
• The women’s average match time was nearly identical. AEW sitting at 13:24 of match time, per show, WWE, 13:48 .. But only 4 AEW shows hit 25%, vs. 15 of 26 for WWE.

• Raw cleared the 25% for women's match time on all 4 of its September shows .. But, only 3 of the 13 Raw episodes had 2+ women's matches on the card.
• Collision averaged 3.5 out of 5 in Q2 - with 5 straight perfect scores. In Q3, that fell to 2.3, with only 1 perfect score .. And 5 Collision episodes scored just 1 out of 5.
• Women main-evented just 8 out of the 53 weekly shows in Q3. In Q2, this was up at 13 out of 52 .. AEW dropping from 7 to 5, and WWE, 6 down to 3.
I know it's not new news that the general representation is bad, but my thinking is that actual data + figures may help highlight exactly how bad it is. This test isn't asking for parity, it's 5 basic markers, and 4/5 doesn't feel like an outlandish expectation .. But that's only happened close to 19% of the time across both promotions.
The takeaways this quarter aren't a huge surprise, but the almost identical average match time did catch my attention as something of interest 🧐
.. Planning to do a 2026 round up at the end of the year - but curious if there's a criterion I should reconsider for 2027? 25% of the match time, for example, felt like a fair, somewhat realistic, benchmark, but open to arguments, for, or against.
