SITD 11/3/21: Matt Taven/Mike Bennett debut on NWA, New NXT UK Heritage Cup Champion

John Siino reviews this week’s editions of AEW Dark, AEW Dark: Elevation, NXT UK, 205 Live, NJPW Strong, NWA Powerrr, Ring of Honor, and Main Event in under 15 minutes on Shot In The Dark.

This week on AEW Dark, Tony Nese makes his wrestling debut against Fuego Del Sol, Pac takes on Tiger Ruas in a fantastic main event, FTR issues an open challenge for Dynamite against any luchadors for the AAA Tag Team Championship and Red Velvet takes on Sholance Royal and her opera singer gimmick that Taz expresses his enjoyment of.

NWA Powerrr has the first part of their ‘By Any Means Necessary’ show from Oak Grove, Kentucky which includes The OGK (Matt Taven & Mike Bennett) debuting to challenge Colby Corino’s new team of The Fixers (Wrecking Ball Legursky & Jay Bradley), as well as The Hex defending their NWA World Women’s Tag Team Championship against Tootie Lynn & Thunderkitty.

On NXT UK, Tyler Bate defends his Heritage Cup Championship against Noam Dar that ends with a controversial finish that involves Trent Seven. Amale makes her return in which Blair Davenport seems interested in and Gallus interrupts Charlie Dempsey again.

Also, Chuck Taylor, Orange Cassidy & Wheeler Yuta vs. The Acclaimed & Serpentico on AEW Dark: Elevation, Xyon Quinn continues his undefeated streak on 205 Live, Lio Rush vs. Taiji Ishimori on NJPW Strong, a special Halloween episode of ROH, Apollo Crews vs. John Morrison on Main Event, and more!

PLUS, Siino speaks on Tom Lawlor’s future now that he has left MLW, Big Damo (the former Killian Dain) returning on the WWE Network on ICW Fight Club, and Heels getting renewed for season two.
