NXT's Halloween Havoc 2025 brought big moments and fresh direction across the board. Je'Von Evans & Leon Slater shined in the opener, Ethan Page retained in a brutal Day of the Dead match, and new champions emerged with Blake Monroe, Tatum Paxley, and DarkState all capturing gold. Ricky Saints closed the night with a clean win over Trick Williams, keeping his title reign steady as new challengers line up. In WWE, Seth Rollins' injury forced changes to Survivor Series: WarGames, but the CM Punk–Roman Reigns alliance remains intact. Bron Breakker and Bronson Reed now anchor The Vision, ensuring the match still delivers major star power. Over in AEW, Tony Khan officially launched the Women's World Tag Team Title Tournament, featuring Jamie Hayter's return, Mercedes Moné & Athena's alliance, and Storm & Shirakawa's pairing, with the finals expected at Full Gear. Meanwhile, Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Shinsuke Nakamura is heavily rumored for Wrestle Kingdom 20, potentially serving as Tanahashi's retirement match. Elsewhere, AAA's Heroes Inmortales saw Dominik Mysterio retain his title, and The Wyatt Sicks escalate their eerie takeover. It was a week defined by new champions, shifting alliances, and dream match rumors — proof that wrestling's global storytelling keeps getting bigger and bolder.

The guys kick things off with a look at the bad blood between Go Shiozaki and Pro Wrestling NOAH over the ZERO1 Title – a messy situation that All Japan Pro Wrestling could benefit from a lot. From there, it's over to All Japan, where STRIGGA brings up the point of production values in contrast to NOAH or NJPW. They'll also talk about HAVOC being over with the crowd and how Shiozaki fits into the group and the promotion. From there, they take it to NOAH's Wrestle Odyssey from Sumo Hall that featured some strong junior matches but plenty of disjointed storytelling. Another question raised and tackled is where New Japan goes next with Konosuke Takeshita as new IWGP World Heavyweight Champion. Is Okada going to be his Wrestle Kingdom opponent? Is It Tsuji? This could also interfere with possible Tanahashi retirement opponents. Other topics on NJPW include the hit Tag Team Title match, thoughts on the IWGP Women's Championship, a ridiculous Super Jr. Tag League lineup. The final topic includes early speculations about DRAGONGATE's King of Gate winner. Ten years in, the Eastern Lariat remains your go-to source for all things puroresu – insightful, opinionated, and always unscripted!

Welcome back to Wrestling Tonight, your weekly look at everything happening across WWE, AEW, NJPW, TNA, and beyond. This week's episode covers one of the most loaded slates of the year as the summer calendar reaches a boiling point. We begin with a full preview of AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door, where the world's biggest promotions collide once again on one of wrestling's most anticipated stages. Headlining the card, AEW World Champion Hangman Page defends against MJF in a long-awaited rematch, while AEW Unified Champion Kazuchika Okada puts his title on the line against Swerve Strickland. The show also features the reunion of Adam Copeland and Christian Cage as they team for the first time in over 14 years, Toni Storm defending the AEW Women's World Championship against Athena, and Zack Sabre Jr. meeting Nigel McGuinness for the IWGP World Championship. Kyle Fletcher defends the TNT title against Hiromu Takahashi, Mercedes Moné faces Persephone, Alex Windsor, and a Stardom representative in a TBS Championship Four-Way, and a stacked lights-out steel cage match pits Will Ospreay, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, Darby Allin, and Hiroshi Tanahashi in his London farewell against Jon Moxley, Claudio Castagnoli, Gabe Kidd, and The Young Bucks. From there, we turn to WWE's future with NXT Heatwave. Oba Femi is set to defend the NXT Championship against either Trick Williams or Je'Von Evans, while Hank Walker and Tank Ledger put the NXT Tag Team titles on the line against DarkState. Jacy Jayne defends the TNA Knockouts World Championship in a triple threat against Masha Slamovich and Ash by Elegance, and Jordynne Grace collides with Blake Monroe. A number one contender's match for the NXT Women's Championship will also take place featuring Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan, and Lola Vice. Over in TNA, Emergence 2025 delivered a card full of major results. Trick Williams retained the World Championship against Moose in a match that had the Baltimore crowd split but firmly cemented Williams as TNA's top babyface. The Hardys retained the World Tag Team titles against The Rascalz in one of the night's highlights, Leon Slater held onto the X-Division Championship against Cedric Alexander, and Mike Santana defeated Sami Callihan in a Baltimore Street Fight that may have marked Callihan's farewell. While technical issues marred the preshow, the main event and key title bouts gave TNA momentum heading into Bound for Glory. In Mexico, Triplemanía marked the official beginning of WWE and AAA's working relationship. Triple H, Shawn Michaels, and Nick Khan stood alongside AAA leadership to emphasize collaboration. On the card, Omos won the Copa Bardahl, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. claimed the Latin American title, and Psycho Clown and Pagano captured the AAA Tag Team Championship. Judgment Day scored a win in trios action, Flammer retained the Reina de Reinas Championship, and in the main event, El Hijo del Vikingo retained the AAA Mega Championship in a four-way over Dominik Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and El Grande Americano, with AJ Styles making a shocking run-in to help seal the finish. The event had the production, presentation, and pacing of a WWE show, sparking debate about AAA's evolving identity under this partnership. On the business side, TKO announced that UFC will end its traditional pay-per-view model beginning in January 2026 under a $7.7 billion, seven-year deal with Paramount Plus and CBS. WWE also secured a five-year, $1.6 billion agreement with ESPN, moving Premium Live Events like WrestleMania, SummerSlam, and Royal Rumble to ESPN's new streaming service. At the same time, reports revealed WWE holds an option to purchase TNA and a right of first refusal should the company seek another buyer, further linking the two promotions' futures. Finally, NJPW's G1 Climax 35 has reached its conclusion. Konosuke Takeshita defeated EVIL in the final at Ariake Arena, fighting through an injured knee and overcoming House of Torture interference to secure his first G1 victory. Along the way, Takeshita shocked Zack Sabre Jr. in the semifinals, setting the stage for their Wrestle Kingdom clash, where he will challenge for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship. With this win, Takeshita declared himself “The Alpha,” signaling his rise as NJPW's new international ace.

NXT Heatwave 2025 and AEW Forbidden Door 2025 both took major steps forward as main events were established and cards were built this week. Host Adam Silverstein opens by tackling the week across NXT [2:45] led by Oba Femi, Trick Williams, Je'Von Evans and Moose battling DarkState in a showcase of WWE's young talent. Jordynne Grace achieved some much-needed character development as Lash Legend and Nia Jax put on a big meaty banger, Jacy Jayne faced a war on two fronts, Joe Hendry picked up an easy win and Chelsea Green alongside Ethan Page remained hysterical. "The Silver King" then breaks down AEW [20:50], including Hangman Page goading MJF into a title challenge, Will Ospreay returning to set up a lights out steel cage match alongside Darby Allin and Hiroshi Tanahashi against Jon Moxley's Death Riders, Toni Storm backing Alex Windsor against Athena and Mercedes Mone, Christian Cage saving Adam Copeland, plus an overall look at AEW's storytelling and the not-so-forbidden lineup ahead.
