The Wrestling Roundup is here to bring you all the news and rumors you need to know in one place.
NXT Results: Absolute Carnage
The march to both Survivor Series and War Games is on. NXT had a jam-packed episode this week, with lots of moments setting up for their upcoming pay-per-views. Full results from Wednesday night are here:
- Lio Rush (c) def. Angel Garza to retain the NXT Cruiserweight Championship
- Xia Li def. Aliyah
- Keith Lee def. Roderick Strong
- Isaiah “Swerve” Scott def. Bronson Reed
- Pete Dunne versus Killian Dain never happens because Damien Priest before the bell
- Io Shirai def. Mia Yim in a ladder match, giving Shayna Baszler’s team the entrance advantage at War Games
NXT Takeaways:
Finn Balor continues to be rejuvenated in NXT. He called out Johnny Gargano for being injured, and then shifted his focus to a new target: Matt Riddle. Balor asked for someone to step in the ring with him, and Riddle answered. These two will now square off at War Games.
In the main event, it looked like Mia Yim had the match won for her team. NXT UK Women’s Champion Kay Lee Ray then interfered and cost Yim the match. Shayna Baszler’s team is still one member short, but it looks like that spot now belongs to Ray.
The sound of this bump is freaking disgusting.

AEW Dynamite Results: Full Gear Fallout
All Elite Wrestling had their first-ever fallout episode of Dynamite on Wednesday. MJF took the chance to explain his actions, and we had plenty of in-ring fireworks. The match results for the evening:
- Jon Moxley def. Michael Nakazawa
- Dark Order def. Jungle Express
- Darby Allin def. Shawn Spears and Peter Avalon in a triple threat
- Nyla Rose def. Dani Jordan
- PAC def. Adam Page in the rubber match of their series
- SCU (c) def. Chris Jericho & Sammy Guevara to retain the AEW Tag Team Championships
AEW Dynamite Takeaways:
One thing that fans were waiting for was for MJF to explain his turn on Cody at Full Gear. He said that Cody is the real villain, and he’s the only one who sees it. MJF was offered a spot in the Inner Circle by Chris Jericho, but declined. When Cody came out to get his hands on his former BFF, a new addition debuted to protect MJF. Wardlow looks to be MJF’s heavy going forward.

Early in the night, Jon Moxley called out the AEW locker room looking for a fight. After a hectic triple threat, Darby Allin answered. Next week these two go head to head in what should be a barn burner.
"Jon Moxley……I accept" – @DarbyAllin

Awesome Kong continues to take trophies. Brandi continues to be creepy. Poor Allie.
First Bea Priestley and now Allie? What does all this mean?
