WWE NXT WarGames 2021 Live Results

LET THE WAR GAMES BEGIN! Carmelo is starting the match for Team 2.0. Gargano appears to be starting for team black and gold, he better have Rebel Heart cowards.

HE DOES! BE YOURSELF CAN’T BE NO-ONE ELSE!

Melo has Johnny down early into the match here. Johnny has gear that has all his attires from Takeovers mixed together, he brought back Rebel Heart. This is Gargano’s last stand, whether he re-signs or not, we are watching his last match in NXT. Truly an end of an era. Melo and Johnny exchange attempts at moves in the center before Johnny cuts him off with a Slingshot Spear.

Johnny hammers away on the cage with Carmelo’s head as the countdown hits and in comes our hero Waller the Baller.Waller and Johnny are going at it, and Melo joins in to give the 2.0 guys a 2 on 1 advantage. Melo and Waller go for the DIY meeting in the middle, but Johnny sees it coming. Gargano has been opened up by a Grayson Waller knee.

Dunne now enters for black and gold. Dunne traps Waller’s hand into the cage and pulls at his fingers. Dunne and Gargano take down both men with stomps onto the hands, before locking in simultanious submissions. Dunne and Gargano have the 2.0 guys isolated. Waller gets all fired up and flies around before our Italian hero enters for team 2.0.

Trick hands tables to Tony as he enters the match. Trick is bringing in all the toys. Kendo Sticks and a Trash Can have now entered. Trick goes back under the ring but Dexter crawls out and scares him off, before saluting his father-in-law in the ring.

Tony is now tying a chain to the door to lock it shut, stopping the door from opening. The 2.0 guys are hammering away at Dunne and Gargano with weapons as the countdown starts and LA Knight is here, but he can’t get in. LA Knight climbs into the cage instead and he’s in the match. He has a Kendo Stick and hammers away at Hayes and D’Angelo. Team Black and Gold have the 2.0 boys isolated. Dunne works over Waller’s fingers using the Kendo Stick and Trash Can. Ouch.

Bron Breakker breakks the chain off the cage to get himself into the ring, but he struggles for a bit. Reminds me of when Mark Henry couldn’t rip off the cage door. Breakker runs wild on the three black and gold boys. The Big Bad Booty Nephew. Ciampa is in and War Games officially begins!

Ciampa takes a seat on the trash can and orders a round of applause from the crowd. Gargano saves Ciampa with a crutch shot, before tossing it to Ciampa. Story telling. Gargano and Ciampa are all fired up but Breakker cuts them off and he and Melo work over the DIY boys. Waller and Tony work over Knight and Dunne in the other ring.

The Black and Gold boys are all down in the center between the rings. Dunne gives a smirk and they all stand up at the same time and fight with the respective 2.0 rival. All the 2.0 guys are up against the cage and get jumped by the black and gold boys. Black and Gold are on top now, Sam Sparro would be proud. Dunne holds a bin up against the cage and Johnny Lawn Darts Carmelo into it. Ow. Ciampa now tries for an Air Raid Crash onto Waller through a table but D’Angelo cuts him off, holding him on the table. Waller goes to jump on him but LA Knight hits an Avalanche Belly to Belly onto our baller through the table.

LA Knight drops the BFT onto Melo but Tony makes the save. Ciampa absolutely yeets the trash can into Breakker’s face. He gets him on his shoulders on the top rope and hits an Air Raid Crash onto the can for a two count. Grayson Waller hits a big Elbow Drop off the cage onto LA Knight through a table, but Dunne makes the save.

Tony pulls a crowbar out from the cage but Dunne takes him out with a Kendo Stick. He takes care of Tony before HAMMERING into Carmelo Hayes with kendo shots. Dunne works over the arm of Hayes and places it under the trash can but Tony cuts him off with the Crowbar and rips out his gumshield. D’Angelo has the crowbar around Dunne’s throat and hits an Avalanche Neckbreaker. King.

Ciampa and Breakker now exchange strikes in the ring, with Bron taking him down with the Frankensteiner, something he is ODDLY good at. Must run in the Breakker family. Johnny hits the One Final Bear on Breakker as Ciampa hits Willo’s Bell on Hayes. DIY hit the DIY Special on Breakker, but Melo pulls the referee away at the last second.

Carmelo works over Gargano but Ciampa makes the save. He goes for Fairytale Ending but Breakker Spears him through the table in the corner. Bron then scoops up Ciampa and hits the Powerslam to win the match for Team 2.0.

FOREVER THE BLACK & GOLD! 🖤💛

McKenzie is backstage with Kyle O’Reilly, where she asks him about what happened after the match. Kyle says that this is the first time he’s not been in a War Games, but he wants him in a cage match on Tuesday.

Kyle’s swansong.

We get a video package for New Year’s Evil, which takes place on January 4.

Cruiserweight Championship action now, as Joe Gacy brings Harland with him as he faces Roderick Strong. I can imagine Gacy wins here, as most of the Cruiserweight guys have been cut recently. I can only think of Kushida and Jiro who actually qualify.

Roddy has hammered away at Gacy and his shirt has ripped. Roddy is now on the upper hand, dropping Gacy with an Angle Slam for a two count. Roddy retreats to the outside and Gacy leaps on him and the Creeds. Ivy gets in his face but Harland picks her up, with Gacy having to calm him down.

Roddy drops Gacy with the End of Heartache to retain the title.

Someone’s hair is going to go. Will we see bald Duke or bald Grimes.

Duke takes Grimes down and tosses him over the top rope and he lands on the steps. Duke has been working over Grimes in the early going. We get the tease of a countout spot, and like what would happen if this was a double countout? Both go bald? Neither go bald? Each man shaves half his hair?

Grimes makes the comeback. He drops Hudson with a spinning DDT for a two count. Hudson covers Grimes and uses the ropes, but the referee spots him. Grimes counters it into a roll up of his own for a two count. Grimes hits a Poison Rana on Hudson, getting all fired up. He hits a big Diving Crossbody for a two count.

Grimes counters Hudson’s attempt at a Razor’s Edge into the corner into a Hurricanrana. Grimes rolls Duke up with a handful of tights to score the win. Duke is going bald.

Grimes tosses Duke into the ring with the barber’s chair in, but Duke drops him with a clothesline and puts Grimes in the chair. He grabs the razor but Grimes drops him with the Cave In. Grimes now puts Duke in the chair and shaves his head. Duke runs away covering his head in embarrassment.

You should know by now, @sixftfiiiiive.

McKenzie is interviewing Santos Escobar about his match with Xyon Quinn on Tuesday. Escobar says reality will smack Xyon in the face. McKenzie asks about Elektra meeting with Xyon last week. Escobar says that Legado is a family, and Elektra says that what she does in her own time is none of McKenzie’s business.

NXT Tag Team Championship match now. O’Reilly and his definite best mate Von Wagner take on Imperium.

Kyle starts off in what will absolutely not be his last match in NXT, nope, no way. Big Wags is in and drops Aichner with a back body drop and a diving headbutt for a two count before tagging in O’Reilly.WALTER has been getting name dropped a lot more in this match than he has in recent Imperium matches. Aichner catches Von Wagner on his shoulders and squats with him, very impressive spot.

O’Reilly fights through both Imperium boys and makes the hot tag to Von Wagner, who fires up on both Imperium boys. I don’t know what the common opinion of Von Wagner is, but for my money he actually makes all of his moves look impressive and impactful, he’s just heavily lacking in the character department.

Aichner hits a Springboard Moonsault to break up the Heel Hook O’Reilly has on Barthel. Kyle locks a Guillotine on Aichner, but Barthel powers him up into a Suplex that O’Reilly counters into a cradle for a two. O’Reilly and Von Wagner hit a High Low on Barthel for a VERY close nearfall that even I as a man who writes wrestling news about Kyle O’Reilly’s contract believed was the finish.

O’Reilly hits a Brainbuster on Aichner for a two count and immediately counters it into an Armbar, but Aicher fights out of and hoists O’Reilly up for the Imperial Bomb and Imperium retain in a very good match. Thanks for everything Kyle, see you Wednesday :’)

Wagner allows Kyle to receive a round of applause as the crowd chants thank you Kyle. Wagner charges at Wagner, but Kyle sees it coming and ducks his clothesline, instead leaving Wagner laying.

…and he stands right back up. 💪 🇮🇹#NXTWarGames #NXTTagTitles @FabianAichner @WWEVonWagner pic.twitter.com/Bcq23zmXDl

Now we get an MSK video package montage of their quest to find the shaman. We will meet the Shaman next week.

Team Black & Gold are having a chat. Gargano hypes up his first War Games, that “might be his last”. Ciampa says that tonight isn’t just their moment, it’s Johnny’s.

tonight is your moment, @JohnnyGargano. 🖤 💛#WeAreNXT #NXTWarGames pic.twitter.com/5wzeZc5cNP

The Women’s War Games match is kicking things off here. KayL Lee Ray is starting things off for the babyface team, and she has brought a baseball bat out with her. Dakota is starting for team Toxic, and she’s bringing in a bunch of kendo sticks.

The dynamic of the babyfaces having the advantage all match is a weird one. I understand you can’t have the heels get it all the time though. Dakota is propping up the kendo sticks between both the rings. Dakota has KLR positioned beneath them, and goes for a slingshot but KLR fights away. Dakota has picked up the bat but KLR leaps on her before she can use it. She drops Dakota onto the kendo sticks positioned between the rings as the countdown starts for the babyface advantage, bringing in Cora Jade. They have the cages positioned in the stand and they have to come out through the crowd, it’s a nice visual.

Cora has brought in the mini skateboard, and she gets put over as the youngest War Games participant in history. Dakota manages to fight off both the babyfaces as the countdown begins to send her equaliser, which turns out to be Gigi Dolin, and she has brought a garbage can and a bag of stuff.

Dakota and Gigi hammer away on consecutive corner running boots. Cora puts a trash can on Gigi up against the cag and hits a dropkick, and KLR hits the KLR Bomb on Dakota on top of the trash can with Gigi inside. Now the countdown sounds again and Io is here, and she’s bringing in chairs and another trash can, complete with lid.

Dakota rocks Io with a kick as she tries to swing the trash can to immediately give the heels the advantage, dispite being outnumbered. Cora hits a Hurricanrana in the center to Dakota, but Gigi cuts her off and pushes her against the cage. Countdown ends and Jacy is here, and she’s bringing in a table.

The tag team champions go to work on Cora and KLR, before moving on to Io. Io fights out and Jacy hits Gigi by accident. Io gets all fired up and hits corner double knees to all the heels with a trash can lid. The faces are in one ring alone with Jacy and a table. They lay her on the table and Cora Jade goes up top, hitting a Swanton Bomb through the table, but she landed very awkwardly. Io is tending to ehr as KLR enters the ring with Gigi and Dakota. She’s being checked on in the corner by the doctors who have opened the door, but Io has shut it and forced her arm back into place.

I love her so much.

Also Raquel is here now I guess. She grabs a lot of plunder and Gigi and Dakota stop her from opening the door. Raquel sprays them with a fire extinguisher to enter. She puts Dakota inside a trash can and spins her around. Raquel checks on Cora as Io climbs to the top of the cage with the trash can in hand, but Dakota cuts her off and all the women who are not Cora Jade fight it out. Raquel takes the heels down and puts Dakota in another trash can as Io hits a Moonsault onto her.

Mandy is now in and War Games is underway. Mandy goes right for Cora Jade who is still in the second ring selling her shoulder. Mandy grabs Cora by the arm and drags her away but Io fights her off. We get the babyface ring and heel ring spot, one team in each. KLR hands Cora a Kendo Stick to defend herself as the other women fight it out in the other ring. Cora breaks up a pin with the stick, but now the four heels corner her in the other ring like a pack of Hyenas cornering their prey. She tries to fight off but gets dropped by a Mandy knee, but Cora kicks out.

Jacy is laid out by Raquel and Cora crawls into a pin to score the win for her team. This match was designed to get Cora over as a babyface, and it really worked well.
