Right here, right now. Happy Day 68 of 2021. What a name for a review, once again… Were you expecting me to put what we all saw on social media as the title? I have never worked like that, kids. I know who I’m talking to and why I’m talking that way. Right here, right now, you don’t have to put on the red light. Those days are over…
On the menu this week, from Nashville, Tennessee, Chris Bey will face off Ace Austin. Shera and Rohit Raju will team up against BeerGuns. We’ll also attend the contract signing between The Good Brothers and FinJuice. So no more words, let’s get ready for some action, but your French Enygma Steph way, of course…

The Nygma’s Nutcracker(s) of the Week

– Ace Austin vs Chris Bey

Ace Austin immediately fetched a chair so Fulton could be comfortable at ringside. Fulton sat in his chair as Ace and Bey locked up. Bey pressured Ace on the mat but Ace fought back, controlling Bey with standing holds. Both men known for being flashy remained grounded and intense. Ace unloaded some heavier moves but Bey was still fresh. Bey knocked Ace to the floor and met him with a flip. Fulton wanted to snap and take out Bey but Ace kept him seated. Ace flipped into the ring from the apron and came back out with a Fosbury Flop.

Back inside, Ace hit his double springboard kick which looked smoother than ever. A beautiful seamless exchange ended with a Bey Code Red for a near fall. Ace attempted a quick pinfall but ended up dealing some heavy damage with a springboard senton. Ace revealed his playing card and attempted The Fold, which Bey evaded. More fantastic exchanges between the two as Bey created separation and headed to the top. Ace hit a spinning back kick and clocked him. From the top, Bey dumped Ace back first onto the apron as we headed to a break.

After the break, they were trading knee shots as Ace gained the advantage. Ace set Bey up on the second rope, allowing Bey to recover and fight back. He shot for the Art of Finesse but missed and settled for the Verteybreaker. Ace ate a DDT but avoided the Art of Finesse once more, heading outside. Bey came towards Ace on the outside where Fulton met him. Ace tapped him on the back and Fulton ducked where Ace kicked Bey in the face. TJP came down to the stage taking a seat, distracting Ace. Back inside, Ace set up the Fold but Bey countered with a cutter and the Art of Finesse for the win.

The Weekly “Enigma For a Nygma”

Was it necessary to give legitimacy to a title to announce the week after it will disappear? IMPACT and TNA belt will be unified at Sacrifice. If Moose wins the match, his patience and stubbornness would be rewarded. If not, Moose will definitely make no prisoners anymore.

The Nygma’s Noticeable Facts of the Week

– Sacrifice

The card is now complete and it will be rock ‘n roll… Sacrifice or Rebellion, the stakes are way too high for the common fans we are, ladies and gentlemen…

To be eNYGMAtic…

I was extremely surprised to read that Ace Austin and Chris Bey have never fought one-on-one, aside from a quick Xplosion match a few years ago before Bey was on the roster. It was freaking damn good. In fact, the show was good. As the go-home show to Sacrifice, it perfectly did its job. Once again, I am pretty short on words here because it’s extremely late but I have to tell you why Roxanne.
Yesterday on social media, the announcement of an AEW Title vs IMPACT/TNA Title made explode everyone. It will be a dream match, whether it’s Moose or Swann… That’s fantastic… We love that… Etc. Yes, we will attend a great match, don’t make me say anything else. But, what about the aftermaths? Omega 3 Belts or Swann/Moose Two Straps. When it happened in WWE, that sounded fun because it was something WWE. This time, we talk about two promotions that are supposed to have nothing in common, excepted some good connections with Lucha Libre AAA. This match is literally going to change the game when I don’t think it is necessary to. So Roxanne, because she is not supposed to be walking the streets for money. “You don’t care if it’s wrong or if it’s right,” they say. The dream match is not supposed to be the tree that is hiding the forest (you couldn’t see the forest for the trees, we do it another way)…
On this “Nygma Is Not Afraid To Say What She Thinks” note, until Sacrifice, until next week (if I want), take care, stay safe, watch wrestling, and never EVER forget to stay #eNYGMAtic…
