WWE/AAA Worlds Collide 6/7/2025 (Results)

Opening Ceremony & Rey Mysterio’s Tribute

The event kicked off with a cinematic tribute narrated in Spanish by Rey Mysterio, honoring the heart and history of lucha libre. Rey then arrived in style, joined by Stephanie Vaquer and Lola Vice. English commentary was handled by Konnan and Corey Graves, who noted it’s been three decades since AAA’s original U.S. breakthrough.

Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Blue Demon, and Marisela Peña took center stage for the national anthems, with Lillian Garcia performing the U.S. anthem live. Mysterio, dressed sharply, delivered a bilingual speech reflecting on the 1994 event and vowed WWE would help carry lucha libre’s legacy forward.

Six-Man Lucha Showcase

Octagón Jr., Aero Star & Mr. Iguana def. Dragon Lee, Cruz Del Toro & Lince Dorado
— Octagón pinned Dorado

Fast-paced action set the tone early. WWE’s trio looked sharp, but AAA’s team stole the spotlight—especially Mr. Iguana, who had the crowd eating out of his hand with his stuffed sidekick, La Yeska. A chaotic sequence of topes and springboards brought the arena to life. The finish came after Octagón Jr. nailed his signature moonsault fallaway slam on Dorado.

After the match, Dominik Mysterio (seen earlier in the crowd with Liv Morgan looking unimpressed) jumped on the mic to trash-talk Octagón and Rey. That led to a ringside brawl and a challenge: Dom wants to defend his Intercontinental Title tonight at Money in the Bank against Octagón Jr.!

Women’s Tag Match

Stephanie Vaquer & Lola Vice def. Chik Tormenta & Dalys
— Vaquer scored the pin after stereo Devil’s Kisses

Hard-hitting lucha stylings from the AAA veterans clashed with the charisma and precision of WWE’s rising stars. Dalys dominated early, but Vice and Vaquer found their rhythm. The finish came after dual Devil’s Kiss finishers—one to each opponent. Post-match, Vaquer vowed to make history later in the night by winning Money in the Bank.

Faction War

Legado Del Fantasma (Santos Escobar, Angel & Berto) def. El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr., Pagano & Psycho Clown
— Escobar pinned Wagner Jr.

This one delivered intensity and emotion. Wagner Jr. and Psycho Clown led the charge for AAA, while Escobar made it clear that Legado represents the future of lucha under WWE. Brutal spots included a massive barricade crash and a wild series of topes. In the end, Escobar hit the Phantom Driver on Wagner for the win, giving WWE the edge in the night’s inter-promotional rivalry.

NXT North American Title Match

Ethan Page (c) def. Rey Fenix, Je’Von Evans & Laredo Kid
— Page pinned Laredo Kid

Four-way chaos with a perfect mix of speed, innovation, and attitude. Page tried to stay out of the fray early, but the challengers made sure he paid. Fenix dazzled as usual, Evans showed out with his trademark flash, and Laredo brought the fight. In the end, after Evans hit the OG Cutter on Laredo, Page swooped in and nailed Twisted Grin for the successful title retention.

Main Event – AAA Mega Championship

El Hijo del Vikingo (c) def. Chad Gable
— Vikingo retained via pinfall

In a match that blended lucha artistry with mat wrestling mastery, Vikingo and Gable tore the house down. Gable leaned into his heel persona, mocking lucha libre and targeting Vikingo’s limbs. Vikingo rallied back with unreal aerial moves, including a 630 senton to the outside. Gable hit a massive moonsault through a table, but it still wasn’t enough. After a brutal Poisonrana and a final 630 Splash, Vikingo stood tall, retaining the AAA Mega Championship in front of a raucous crowd.

AAA talent poured into the ring to celebrate with the champ, closing out a historic night with national pride and mutual respect.

The IInspiration Returns: Former WWE Tag Champs Cassie Lee & Jessica McKay Resurface at TNA Against All Odds

TNA Wrestling just got a major boost to its Knockouts tag division — and fans of women’s tag team wrestling have a big reason to get excited.

In a surprise appearance at Against All Odds, former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Cassie Lee and Jessica McKay — known collectively as The IInspiration — made their long-awaited return to the company. The duo, best known to longtime WWE fans as The IIconics (Billie Kay and Peyton Royce), confronted current Knockouts Tag Team Champions Ash by Elegance and Heather by Elegance during the pre-show countdown, making their intentions crystal clear by gesturing to their waists: they’re gunning for gold.

This marks Lee and McKay’s first appearance in a wrestling ring since they quietly stepped away from the business in 2022. Their previous run in TNA (then IMPACT Wrestling) saw them quickly grab the Knockouts Tag Team Titles, cementing their place as top-tier competitors in the promotion before taking time off — both eventually becoming mothers during their hiatus.

Behind the scenes, Fightful Select reports the pair have officially signed new contracts with TNA Wrestling. The deals were finalized within the last few weeks, and while short-term (under a year), they reportedly include an option for mutual extension. Sources within the company also noted that recent regime changes helped pave the way for the duo’s return.

Lee and McKay bring both star power and championship pedigree wherever they go. After all, they shocked the world by capturing the WWE Women’s Tag Team Titles at WrestleMania 35 in 2019, during a near seven-year WWE run that showcased their charisma, chemistry, and comedic timing. When they were released by WWE in 2021, they didn’t waste time rebuilding their momentum, debuting as The IInspiration at Bound for Glory later that year and immediately winning gold.

Now, with the Knockouts tag division heating up again, the return of The IInspiration adds a dose of experience, flair, and serious in-ring credibility. Don’t be surprised if their second TNA run is even more iconic than the first.

Stay tuned — the Knockouts tag scene just got a whole lot more… inspirational.

TNA Against All Odds 6/6/2025 (Results) – The IInspiration Returns, Killer Kelly Returns

Pre-Show Highlights

Team Elegance Goes Full Devil Mode
Ash, Heather, and M by Elegance took the win over Xia Brookside, Harley Hudson, and Myla Grace in trios action. Dressed as devils to rep Arizona State’s Sun Devils, the Elegance squad embraced chaos. Ash danced mid-match before getting an assist from the Personal Concierge, who jabbed Grace with a devil’s pitchfork. A swanton later, Ash secured the pin.

The IInspiration Returns!
Post-match, the Concierge praised his squad until a familiar theme hit—the IInspiration (aka The IIconics) made their TNA return! Jessie McKay and Cassie Lee made their intentions clear: they’re eyeing the Knockouts Tag Team Titles.

Backstage Drama Unfolds

Tasha Steelz Caught in the Middle
Jason Hotch asked Tasha Steelz to watch his back for his match, but Mustafa Ali showed up demanding her loyalty instead. Steelz wasn’t having it and reached out to someone mysterious to knock some sense into Ali.

Power Play for Authority
Robert Stone vowed to beat Santino Marella and take control of TNA—plus keep Arianna Grace as his personal maid. But the situation twisted when Matt Cardona interrupted and inserted himself as special guest referee. Santino reminded everyone: the Cobra is legal tonight.

Main Card Results

TNA International Championship
Steve Maclin (c) def. Mance Warner
Hard-hitting and wild, this bout saw plenty of brawling. Warner nearly had it with a tornado DDT and a brutal running knee, but interference from Steph De Lander helped swing things back to Maclin. After a Tree of Woe spear and the KIA DDT, Maclin walked away still champion.

Hardys, Slater & the Hometown Man def. Moose, Myers, Edwards & Dango
The mystery man turned out to be Deaner, masked as the Hometown Man. Slater was the star here, surviving a crushing spear from Moose and reversing a second attempt into a pinfall victory—just pinned the X-Division Champ!

Mustafa Ali def. Jason Hotch
Ali showed his ruthless side. After a brutal German suplex on the apron, Ali demanded Steelz cheat on his behalf. She refused and walked off. Hotch got close with a UFO bomb and a frog splash, but Ali’s sadistic streak kicked in. He landed a 450 to the back for the win. Post-match, Ali mocked Hotch with a fake handshake and blew off Skyler’s attempt at sportsmanship. Ali’s turning into a dangerous egomaniac.

In-Ring Segment: First Class Penthouse

AJ Francis & KC Navarro hosted their talk show, waiting for Mike Santana. Francis ran his mouth—until Santana arrived unannounced and took out security. Francis sacrificed Navarro to escape, only to return with a champagne bottle shot to Santana’s head. Navarro was dragged to safety, but the message was sent.

Knockouts Championship

Masha Slamovich (c) def. Lei Ying Lee
Lee came out blazing with high-speed strikes and pulled off a nasty stretch muffler suplex. Slamovich countered with an avalanche Death Valley Driver, and after a flurry of reversals, ended it with a piledriver. Post-match, Killer Kelly made her long-awaited return, dropping her trademark chain at Masha’s feet. Former partners—future rivals? Indi Hartwell was on commentary, keeping a close eye.

Frankie Kazarian def. Joe Hendry

Kaz used surgical precision, targeting Hendry’s leg throughout. Despite Hendry’s powerhouse comebacks—including a one-legged fallaway slam—Kaz outsmarted him. A chop block and a roll-up with his feet on the ropes sealed the dirty win.

More Shenanigans Backstage

Robert Stone tried to bribe Matt Cardona with an envelope full of cash. While Cardona didn’t reject the gift, he promised to call things fair… mostly.

TNA World Tag Team Championship

Nic & Ryan Nemeth (c) def. Trey Miguel & Zachary Wentz
Fast-paced and chaotic. Ryan was in deep trouble late in the match, but Nic made the save, and the brothers hit back-to-back finishers—Danger Zone and Hollywood Ending—to keep the gold.

Santino Marella def. Robert Stone – Winner Becomes TNA Director of Authority

Despite bribes, interference, and chaos, Santino pulled through. Cardona called it (mostly) down the middle. Tessa Blanchard and Victoria Crawford tried to tip the scales, and Tessa even stole the Cobra mid-match. But Arianna Grace turned on Stone, giving her dad a backup Cobra. One strike later, and Santino was declared victorious as the crowd erupted.

TNA World Championship Main Event

Trick Williams (c) def. Elijah
High drama in the finale. Trick pulled off a turnbuckle pad and tried to use the guitar, but Elijah wouldn’t go down easy. AJ Francis got involved, but Elijah took him out. After a ref distraction, Trick used the title belt—Elijah kicked out! In the end, Elijah collided with the exposed buckle, setting up the Trick Shot knee for the win. Trick retains, but not without controversy.

Tay Melo Shocks AEW with Surprise Return at Fyter Fest, Saves Anna Jay from Brutal Attack

After nearly two years away from AEW programming, Tay Melo made her long-awaited return during Wednesday night’s Fyter Fest special — and she didn’t come empty-handed.

With Anna Jay cornered and seemingly moments away from being thrown off the stage by Megan Bayne and Penelope Ford, Melo’s music hit to a massive reaction. Charging to the ring wielding a kendo stick, she went straight after Ford, swinging with purpose and clearing house before mixing it up with Bayne. Officials quickly stepped in to separate them, but the message was loud and clear: Tay Melo is back, and she’s coming in hot.

This marks Melo’s first AEW appearance since January 2023, when she was still aligned with Jay as part of the Jericho Appreciation Society (JAS). Later that spring, Melo and her husband Sammy Guevara revealed at Double or Nothing that they were expecting their first child. The couple welcomed their daughter, Luna, on November 28, 2023.

While Wednesday marked Melo’s AEW comeback, fans may recall she quietly dipped her toe back into the ring earlier this year. In January, she teamed with STARDOM’s Mina Shirakawa at the New Year Dream event in Japan — a sign that the former Judo standout wasn’t done with wrestling just yet.

Now reunited with Jay, the duo known as TayJay is back in action. The two first began teaming in 2020, making it to the semi-finals of the AEW Women’s Tag Team Cup Tournament. Their chemistry led to a run within the JAS faction from 2022 through Melo’s hiatus. Though Melo was absent during the faction’s eventual implosion, her return signals a fresh start — this time clearly on the babyface side of the aisle.

With AEW’s women’s division heating up and TayJay reunited, all eyes will be on what’s next for Melo, Jay, and whoever dares to stand in their way.
