PLAY BY PLAY

Raw opens with JOHN CENA!!

The Face that Runs the Place appreciates the mixed reaction from San Jose as fans sing “John Cena Sucks~!” Cena says “The past is the past”, and focuses on the present that is the Road to Wrestlemania. Everyone is excited because they know the importance of Wrestlemania. Whether you’re live in the arena, watching at home or a superstar in the back, everyone knows Wrestlemania “can make a superstar’s career.” Wrestlemania can bring someone back from the dead, and can be the most important night in a WWE superstar’s career. Every week, every wrestler makes their case for a ‘Mania Moment, but Cena must face the truth. Cena has to win the Elimination Chamber Match to get to Wrestlemania. He knows the fans have mixed reactions, but “for the first time in 15 years”, Cena may not have a Road to Wrestlemania. So to those who oppose, Cena will state his case: “I have to survive the most unwinnable match” to face “the most unbeatable champion in WWE history.” In other words, it’s “impossible.” But whether you’re for him or against him, everyone knows Cena loves making the impossible possible! Cena vows to win the Chamber and vows to go to Wrestlemania against Brock Lesnar! But The Miz comes out to respond.

“You’re gonna go on to main event Wrestlemania?” This isn’t 2013, this is 2018, The Year of the Miz! Maybe Cena’s been off in Hollywood too much and is losing track of reality. Cena defeat Lesnar? Cena’s a founding father of Suplex City! The Miz will go on to Wrestlemania because that’s where his Intercontinental Championship belongs. He will be the first dual IC & Universal Champion when he defeats Brock Lesnar! Cena points out fans quite literally laughing at Miz’s comments. Miz has no chance– no wait, there is a small chance, like Lesnar not making his flight. But Miz’s first match with Lesnar may very well be his last match ever. That’s where Cena is wrong. Cena made a mitake beating Lesnar at his own game, but Miz will play to his own strengths, i.e. his brains. Miz does “whatever it takes” and uses “whatever is at my disposal”. He wins because he does what others won’t, he crosses lines that others won’t, which is why Miz beat Roman Reigns for the IC Championship and will beat Lesnar in the main event of Wrestlemania! But, Miz has to survive the Chamber first. He sounds overly confident. Well Miz is confident because he’s done it before, to John Cena.

Cena admits that he likes Miz being bold enough to run his mouth. But in the middle of “Miz Country”, Cena suggests Miz VS Cena! And they need to make it huge: the loser enters the Chamber first!! now that’s a Monday Night Raw worthy of the Road to Wrestlemania! The fans agree with “YES! YES!” Miz isn’t stupid, Cena. The fans think he is, though. But Miz knows that going in first means the worst chance of winning. And as insurance, The Miztourage goes after Cena! Bo Dallas & Curt Axel hit him with the back suplex neckbreaker! Miz still accepts the challenge, and calls for a referee! But instead, he gets Raw GM Kurt Angle!

Angle won’t allow this match to happen like this. He likes the idea, making the loser enter the Chamber first. The match is on, but “speaking of eliminations,” The Miztourage is eliminated from ringside! Bo, Axel, get the hell out of here! The A-Lister no longer has his aces in the hole, has he just stuck his foot in his mouth?

The Miz VS John Cena!

The Bell rings and Miz covers right away, TWO!! Miz freaks out, he swears that was three! It wasn’t, so Miz goes after Cena with a hammer of left hands. Another cover, another TWO! Miz begs he win already, but we go to break.

Raw returns to see Miz blast Cena off the apron. Miz slips out to fetch Cena, not satisfied with his work. He throws Cena into the barriers along the ramp! Then he throws Cena back into the ring before climbing up top. Miz takes aim at Cena, and knocks him down with double ax handles. Cover, TWO, Miz returns to being frustrated. He looms over Cena while the fans duel “Let’s go Cena!” “Cena Sucks!” Miz knocks Cena down each time he gets up, but then Cena flips over and gives knees to Miz’s groin. Cena dropkicks Miz, covers, TWO. Cena gets up and drags Miz to his feet for the Fisherman suplex. Cover, TWO, and Cena tries again. Miz knees low a few times then kicks Cena in the head. Miz gets a running start to boot Cena in the face, covers, TWO. The frustration builds, but Miz keeps his cool. Cena stirs, crawling to a corner while the fans rally. Miz goes after Cena with body shots, and backs off at 4. He runs back in but into a back elbow, Cena hops up for a tornado DDT!

Cover, TWO! Miz crawls to ropes while Cena stands up. Cena whips but Miz reverses, into the sleeper hold! Miz brings Cena to his knees then to the mat, but the fans keep dueling. Cena wills himself back up as the fans fire up, but Miz adds on his full weight. Cena fades and falls back to the mat. Miz keeps squeezing, but Cena finds his second wind. He reaches but can’t get out while we go to another break.

Raw returns again, and Miz stalks Cena for his finish. The full-nelson is on but Cena throws Miz off. Fireman’s carry but Miz slips down to Figure Four!

Cena endures the legendary leg lock while the fans “WOO~!” and Miz shouts for him to give up. But instead of giving up, Cena pries himself free and reverses into his hold, the STF! Miz endures the combination crossface and toehold, but drags himself towards ropes. He reaches out, and gets the ropebreak! Cena lets go at 2, and Miz gets to the apron while he goes to the other side. Cena returns, drags Miz up, but Miz hotshots Cena back. Miz climbs up to the top rope again, crossbody, but Cena catches him! Pop-up to the fireman’s carry but Miz slips out, kicks out a knee, low DDT! TWO! Miz can’t believe it! Cena gets himself to a corner for safety while both men catch their breaths. San Jose declares “This is Awesome!” while both men stand up. Miz takes aim and runs corner to corner, and hits his A-List corner clothesline! Cena drops tot he mat while Miz fires himself up. Miz sees Cena in the other corner and runs in, but Cena catches him into the AA!

TWO!! Cena is in disbelief as he gets himself to the apron. He thinks about what to do next, and decides to climb up. Miz bumps ropes and that brings Cena down. Miz gets the Figure Four again! Cena tries to pry himself out again but Miz keeps him from doing that, so Cena drags Miz into a crossface! Miz endures, drags himself again, and gets another ropebreak. The two separate again, but Cena run sin but into buckles! Skull Crushing Finale!! TWO!! The advantage in the Chamber means this much to both of them! They both catch their breath while down on the mat, Cena back in a corner again. Miz gets up and brings himself over. He hoists Cena up to the top rope, then makes his way up from the outside. Miz climbs up from behind and puts Cena in the full-nelson… But Cena breaks out to get the fireman’s carry! SUPER AA!! Cena wins!

Miz must enter the Chamber first! The leader of the Cenation celebrates with fans in the front row, thanking those that inspire him.

Can Cena outlast The Miz and five others to become #1 contender to the Beast? As for Miz, can he survive at all?

 

WOKEN Matt Hardy speaks.

“Tonight I have a second chance to fulfill my destiny.” However, her has Apollo Crews, Finn Balor and “the vile” Bray Wyatt to contend with. But Hardy has been blessed by the Seven Deities to render them OBSOLETE! Hardy shall be victorious and make the Elimination Chamber shall become the DELETION Chamber! Will Hardy DELETE the other three tonight to then DELETE five others at the Elimination Chamber PPV?

 

The Balor Club’s Good Brothers speak.

The Revival have been pushing the “Nerd-o-meter” to the absolute limit when they talk about being tag team specialists. Yet, Finn and ol’ Karlski shut them up last week. This week, Gallows wants his turn. Being able to name tag teams from 1902 doesn’t make them #TopGuys, it makes them… NEEEEERDS!!

The Club VS The Revival!

But while Anderson & Gallows make their entrance, Dash & Dawson ambush them from behind! Gallows gets a chop block, then Anderson gets a double lariat. The #TopGuys leave the Good Brothers writhing on the outside while they enter the ring, then dare them to get in. Gallows & Anderson recover and get pissed off before rushing the ring. Dash & Dawson run out of the ring to troll The Club, because this match starts “when we say.” The Revival talk strategy then return to the ring. Gallows and Dawson start, Gallows going right at him with big rights. He pushes Dawson into a corner and unloads body shots, then blasts Dash for good measure. Gallows rocks Dawson with an uppercut, then throws him halfway across the ring!

Dawson gets to another corner but gets more heavy hands from Gallows! Gallows drags Dawson up and whips to ropes, then boots him right down. Dash returns, to get a big body drop. Anderson goes after Dash himself with a rain of rights. The referee gets in the way, Gallows shoves Dash out but Dawson chop blocks again! The Revival gain control while we go to break.

Raw returns, and Dawson has exposed Gallows’ battered knee to go right at it. He tags in Dash, and they keep on the knee from all sides. Gallows shoves Dash but Dash stomps him back. The fans rally for The Club even as Dash puts on a knee wrench and toehold.

Gallows endures the torque, and even kicks out with his good leg. Dash holds on as Gallows stands up and gets a haymaker. Dawson tags in and jumps, but into a YAKUZA kick! Gallows crawls for hsi corner and hot tags The Machine Gun! Anderson rallies on Dash, his whip is reversed but he hits shotgun knees. He takes out Dawson then jump kicks Dash down! The fans fire up as Anderson hops up, and hits a flying neckbreaker! Dawson returns but Gallows drags him out to rock him with uppercuts. But then Dawson throws Gallows into steel steps! Anderson goes after Dawson, Dash rolls up with tights, TWO! SPINEBUSTER!

TWO! Anderson keeps focused on Dash, then runs in corner to corner. Dawson tags in, but Anderson fights them both, He still goes after Dash, but ends up in SHATTER MACHINE! Revival wins! These rough and tumble boys prove they’re #TopGuys tonight, can they get ahead in the Raw Tag Team Championship hunt?

 

Raw General Manager, Kurt Angle, returns.

The Olympic Gold Medalist comes out with “mixed emotions.” He announces that Rhonda Rousey will officially sign her WWE contract! But he also must update us on the situation with Jason Jordan’s neck. Jordan got surgery, and will be out to miss Wrestlemania. Some fans actually like that news. Angle does his best to come to work with a smile on his face, but not right now. He is speaking not as GM but as a father. For those to take join in a superstar’s injury, you should be ashamed of yourself. Jordan may not be everyone’s favorite, but he’s a human being and is Angle’s son. Angle just wants everyone to wish Jordan “Get Well Soon”. But then, Seth Rollins comes out!

The Architect was the Gold Blooded Son’s most recent tag team partner, and the two were Raw Tag Team Champions together. Therefore, Rollins comes out to apologize and give his best wishes. Rollins knows what it’s like. He was WWE Champion, and won it at Levi Stadium after caching in his Money in the Bank contract. Rollins felt unstoppable, on top of the world, even. But then “it all came crumbling down” when he messed up his knee, forfeited the title and missed ‘Mania. But missing ‘Mania helped Rollins learn that no one’s moment is guaranteed. Rollins realizes that he, too, is without something to do at even Elimination Chamber. Angle did say that last week’s match was Rollins’ last chance, but maybe they can change that. All they have to do is find Rollins another tag team partner. Rollins speaks up, saying thanks, but no thanks. When Angle became GM, he said Rollins could be a mainstay. Rollins doesn’t want to be part of Raw anymore. No, he wants to be ALL of Monday Night Raw! Rollins wants to make this Monday Night Rollins!

He wants to be The Man again. He wants Brock Lesnar, the Universal Championship, and at Wrestlemania. The only way to do that is to win the Elimination Chamber. Angle appreciates Rollins’ enthusiasm, but he can’t just cancel the main event. Rollins doesn’t want it handed to him, he wants to earn it. Make the Fatal 4 Way, and make it a Fatal FIVE, with Rollins as the fifth! The fans like that idea very much! Angle isn’t so sure, it doesn’t seem fair to the other four. Angle doesn’t want to be put in a bad spot. But Rollins’ fate is in Angle’s hands as he puts his body on the line for Raw. Jordan missing ‘Mania sucks, yes, but Rollins shouldn’t have to miss out, too. In all honesty, it isn’t up to Rollins or to Angle, it’s up to the WWE Universe. Angle asks, but the answer is pretty clear already. Should Rollins get a chance to enter the Chamber? “YES! YES!” Then the match is made! Can the Architect find a way into the high-stakes Elimination Chamber match!?

 

Bray Wyatt speaks.

“Well, well, well.” Seth Rollins joins the game? He doesn’t deserve a second chance, but neither do Balor, Crews or “that fool” Hardy. Hardy attacks Bray, yet he calls Bray vile? Hardy is “another sick disturbed man in need of help.” Bray knows how to fix him and everyone. They’re like fish by the sea, stalked by a shark. Bray is that shark, and he is starving. He vows to win his second Chamber match in a row, and then slay The Beast to become champion, and “have the whole world in my hands.” Can the Eater of Worlds follow through on his words?

 

Bayley VS Sasha Banks!

The “friendly” competition in trying to break Asuka’s Streak first has made these best friends a bit bitter with each other. Both women are in the inaugural Raw Women’s Championship Elimination Chamber match, but who will gain an extra step of momentum here tonight?

San Jose cheers on their hometown Huggable Bayley as the bell rings. Bayley and Sasha circle, hearing the thunderous chants. They tie up and Bayley rolls, ONE. Sasha tries but Bayley counters to a backslide, ONE. They stand up together, Bayley arm wrenches and La Mahistrol, ONE. Bayley is having fun but Sasha seems annoyed. Sasha kicks low then whips Bayley to a corner, but Bayley elbows out and jumps for a flying arm-drag. Bayley dropkicks Sasha down, then waits for her friend to stand back up. Sasha pushes Bayley into a corner and fires off forearms. The fans boo and jeer, the two scrap and Bayley gets a headlock. Sasha powers out but Bayley runs her over. Bayley runs, things speed up, Bayley rolls Sasha but Sasha slips around for the Bank Statement but Bayley slips out of that. Sasha sits for the pin, TWO. Sasha wrenches Bayley’s arm and yanks on it, then whips Bayley for the hip toss. She adds on double knees, covers, TWO. Bayley checks her teeth while Sasha stands up and walks around her. Sasha goes after the arm again, but Bayley fights out Bayley whips but Sasha reverses and hits her with a forearm before throwing her right out of the ring. Sasha catches her breath while fans boo and jeer. She welcomes Bayley back into the ring, but then dropkicks her back down. Sasha goes out to fetch Bayley, puts her in the ring, but Bayley powers her to a corner. Bayley rams in shoulders, but then Sasha slips out to hotshot the bad shoulder! The Legit Boss embraces the heat while we go to break.

Raw returns, and Sasha bends Bayley back with a straitjacket stretch. The San Jose fans cheer for their Bayley, and Bayley feeds off the energy to work her way up. She fights out of the hold but Sasha gives Bayley an armbar code breaker. Cover, TWO, and Sasha grows frustrated. She looms over Bayley in the corner, trash talking and shoving her “friend.” Bayley throws a forearm, then boots but Sasha turns her sideways, for the Stock- no, Bayley catches her, but on the bad shoulder. Sasha slips down and kicks it from behind. Then she hits double knees in the corner, mocks Bayley’s wacky waving tube men, runs corner to corner, but into Bayley’s big lariat!

The fans fire up for their hometown hero while the referee starts a ten count. Both women stir slowly, and brawl on their knees. They brawl up to their feet, Sasha slapping Bayley! She runs, but into Bayley’s Thesz press and fast hands! Bayley brings Sasha up but Sasha forearms back, so Bayley barrels her into a corner! Bayley throws in shoulders, then starts stomping a mudhole! The referee backs her off, Sasha runs out, into the saido suplex! Sasha rolls to the apron, Bayley goes over, second rope hotshot! Cover, TWO! The fans rally for Bayley as she gets to her feet. She brings Sasha back up, but Sasha jawbreakers. Evne so, Bayley runs to boot Sasha in the face! Sasha rolls away but Bayley gets herself to a corner. Bayley climbs up top and takes aim… Big Elbow Drop misses! Sasha gets the Bank Statement crossface! Bayley flails while the fans cheer her on! She crawls to the far side, reaches for the ropes, but Sasha blocks with a foot on the rope. The ref reprimands her, Bayley gets the break. Sasha keeps going, though, dragging Bayley away. Bayley uses that to fling Sasha face first into buckles! Both women are down recovering. Bayley gets up first, but Sasha boots her away. Sasha drags herself up but Bayley rocks her with a right. Bayley climbs up now, throws some forearms, then positions Sasha. Sasha resists and fights back. She shoves Bayley away, but Bayley returns, SUPER Bayley2Belly!! Bayley wins!! Best friends or not, these two went hard this close to the historic Women’s Chamber match. Can this victory carry Bayley all the way through to once again become Raw Women’s Champion?

Being a good sport, Bayley returns to her friend. But before either can do anything, Nia Jax runs them over from outta nowhere!!

She brings Bayley up, for the Samoan Drop! Then a Samoan Drop for Sasha, too. Charly Caruso appears to ask her why she ruined a moment that has nothing to do with her. This has everything to do with Nia. Bayley and Sasha brought Asuka to her limit but she wrecked them in seconds. At Elimination Chamber, there’s only woman who can break the Streak, “and you’re looking at her.” The Brutal Beauty is set to face the Empress of Tomorrow for a major opportunity of her own at the Raw Women’s Championship. Can the Irresistible Force wreak her own havoc on the Road to Wrestlemania?

 

Seth Rollins encounters Roman Reigns backstage.

The Big Dog sees The Architect “worked your magic.” Well Roman can’t have all the fun in the Chamber. He’s not afraid Rollins will get in, will he? No, because Roman can eliminate him then like he did at the Royal Rumble. But then The Bar walk in and tell Rollins not to worry about The Chamber. With his track record, it’ll be another “failed opportunity.” Cesaro wonders if Dean Ambrose and Jason Jordan are doing physical rehab together, talking about how lousy Rollins is as a partner.

Roman keeps Rollins back, then grins at The Bar. What happened to Cesaro’s mouth again? Ran into the Shield. And Sheamus must not have gotten the memo. “But you will tonight.” Nice skirts, fellas. Is the partial Shield going to go after The Bar again tonight?

 

Raw takes a look at The Empress of Tomorrow’s historic undefeated streak.

October 7, 2015: “An undefeated campaign was born.” Asuka arrived in NXT with a win, and 860 days later, she has 240 wins, 0 losses. “How do you defeat the undefeated?” Asuka has defeated 34 different women, eight of them former women’s champions in their own right. She held the NXT Women’s Championship for 523 days, and only ended because she gave up the title to join Monday Night Raw. Asuka is the first woman to be a Survivor Series Sole Survivor and Royal Rumble winner, and now has her choice of Women’s Championships at Wrestlemania. There’s no end in sight, but she will face her toughest challenge yet in Nia Jax. Will the Empress of Tomorrow continue making history through Elimination Chamber?

 

Backstage interview with Titus Worldwide.

Apollo Crews could make history in his on right by entering the Elimination Chamber match. Titus takes over to give Renee Young a world class vacation. He asks if Crews is worried about being DELETED? No, Crews is here to CREATE! Bray Wyatt is a shark going after “another fish in the sea.” Is Crews afraid of the Eater of Worlds? Bray can’t digest him. Will Crews let Rollins #BurnitDown? No, he’s going to put Rollins out! And what about waiting in line for Balor Club? Crews is already in a VIP club right here. Yes, Crews is ready, and Dana crunches the numbers. She says #CrewsCan’tLose! Titus is all fired up for Crews, and Crews is ready to take one small step for Apollo, and one giant leap for Titus WORLDWIDE~!

 

Alexa Bliss encounters Mickie James backstage.

What is The Goddess up to? Why did she save her from Absolution and why are they teaming up against them tonight? Well, the match is because Alexa asked for it. She’s sick of the newbs thinking they can run Raw, and Mickie must want revenge. Plus, she wants to clear the air. Alexa did some and said some really mean things. Like calling her old? Buying Depends? Mickie remembers, but what about it, Biscuit Butt? Alexa admits she was jealous. Mickie is a six time women’s champion and mother who still looks amazing. She’s impressed and intimidated, that’s all. And? Well, that was an apology. But it’s fine, Alexa just wants to point out that if Absolution works together in the Chamber, everyone else gets screwed out of the Raw Women’s Championship. Is that why Alexa tried to weasel her way out of the match? No… But Absolution can just play keep-away with the title! Mickie appreciates what Alexa did last week, and will work together this week, but she wants that championship at Chamber. Play nice for now, but you’re “buttering the wrong biscuit, honey.”

Absolution w/ Paige VS Mickie James & Alexa Bliss!

As The Goddess and the veteran both said, the Gladiator and the Golden Goddess could easily work together to make sure one of them wins in the Raw Women’s Championship Elimination Chamber match. Can Mickie & Alexa keep them down tonight despite their dysfunction?

Mandy and Mickie start with the bell. They circle, tie up, and Mickie gets the headlock takeover. Mandy gets the headscissor counter but Mickie pops out to wrap on a headlock. Mandy powers out but Mickie runs her over then cartwheels to dropkick Mandy down. Cover, ONE, but Mickie keeps on Mandy. Mickie whips but Mandy reverses to elbow her back. Tag to Sonya, waistlock and slam to the mat. Sonya keeps hold but Mickie elbows her back. Mickie then dodges to kick and kick and run Sonya over with forearms. Tag to Alexa, they double whip and double back elbow Sonya down. Alexa gives Insult2Injury, covers, TWO. Paige coaches Sonya, Sonya fights back with body shots. Alexa knees low and bends Sonya back for the standing STO. She stands on Sonya’s hair, Paige protests, Alexa tags to Mickie. Mickie runs for the low boot!

Cover, TWO. Sonya powers Mickie to a corner an drams in shoulders. She runs out then back in but into Mickie’s boot, and into the mick-rana! Mickie hits Sonya with a Thesz press, then Mandy with a forearm. Sonya roundhouses Mickie down, covers, TWO. Paige coaches her team on as Mandy tags in. Sonya throws in body shots then Mandy throws in a kick. Mnady brings Mickie out for the standing abdominal stretch. Alexa cheers Mickie on while she endures the bend, Mickie slips out to snapmare Mandy away. Mandy kicks but misess, Mickie spins her around for the neckbraeker. Both women are down and a ten count begins. Paige distracts Alexa from the floor, Alexa argues with her, Sonya trips Alea off the apron! Mickie is too late to tag, Mandy pounces with the double underhook facebuster! Cover, Absolution wins! Their teamwork proves Alexa’s point, as does Paige sicking them on Mickie! Alexa returns to fight Absolution off, does this prove Alexa’s words of wanting to stand united against them?

 

“Ladies and Gentlemen: Elias.”

The Drifter has come to San Jose, and as always, plays his guitar for all to hear. He has one question, the same question as always, “Who Wants to Walk With Elias?!” San Jose gives a “pathetic” response. The best thing about this city is that it’s just an hour away from a real city like San Francisco. Well no, every city in California is “a toxic dump.” Must Elias remind everyone that he is the man who defeated John Cena AND Braun Strowman at the same time, and made himself the “odds on favorite” to win the Elimination Chamber? Elias vows to win and go on to Wrestlemania. Then everyone will know what the WWE Universe knows, WWE means “Walk With Elias!” A much better response this time, Elias likes that. Elias also likes the sound of his own voice. He has come with a new song, The Elimination Chamber Blues. Please silence phones, hold applause and shut mouths while he performs. “Six men enter~, but really only one-” The fans’ booing disrupts him. “If that’s how you’re gonna be then I’m not gonna sing.” The fans like the sound of that even better! Elias keeps going, though, he’s already all warmed up. “It ain’t gonna be the Big Dog, because nobody believes. As for The Miz, he should watch his step. Maybe just stick to Miz TV. Remember those songs I wrote, Miz? Those weren’t for you, those were for Maryse!” He smashed JOhn Cena with a guitar, “the only thing he can’t see, is that the future is right here.” Then there’s Braun Strowman, “I get it, raise your hands, say a name but, I’m gonna douse your dreams in gasoline and watch them go up in flames.” But Jojo announces “Ladies and Gentlemen: Braun Strowman.”

Strowman has his OWN spotlight and microphone!? Elias isn’t sure what the Monster Among Men has planned, until he presents a cello to play as a guitar. Strowman strums but ends up breaking it. “Well Elias says he’s gonna win~. But we all know that that ain’t true. You look at me, boy, when I’m singing, cuz I’m not finished with you!” Elias gets worried, “but when this song’s over, you’re gonna get these hands~!” The fans chant “Get these hands!” Strowman broke the instrument so “there’s only one thing left I can do with it.” The Monster Among Men shoulders the “bass”, and brings it to the ring!

Elias gets ready with his musical weapon, but then says to “settle this like men.” They’ll put the weapons down, and have a fair fight. He puts the guitar down, Strowman puts the cello down, and the two meet in the ring, Elias blindsiding Strowman! However, he goes back to his guitar, only for Strowman to intercept him. Strowman clubs Elias right down! Then he pick shim back up, for the monstrous powerslam! Strowman roars victoriously, will it even matter that Elias goes in last if Strowman is still in the Chamber?

Elias tries to crawl away, but Strowman exits the ring. He looks at his cello, and picks it back up! Strowman stalks Elias up the ramp and to the stage. The fans want to see it, Strowman smashes Elias with the cello!!

Forget Elias, does anyone stand a chance in the Chamber with Strowman in the match?

 

Finn Balor speaks.

Hardy wants to DELETE him, Bray wants to eat him? Apollo wants to prove “Crews Can’t Lose” and Rollins wants to be The Man. Balor doesn’t care what they want, he wants to use his second chance to enter and win the Elimination Chamber match. Then he can get what he wants: what he never lost; the Universal Championship!

 

Sheaums w/ Cesaro VS Roman Reigns!

The Celtic Gladiator and Swiss Cyborg feel pretty good about still being Raw Tag Team Champions, despite the minor controversy of Jason Jordan’s interference. However, to get even for his Shield Brother, The Big Dog looks to drag Sheamus into His Yard. Can Roman use the tag team champion as a way to gain momentum before the Elimination Chamber match?

The bell rings and Roman makes sure Cesaro stays back. He circles with Sheamus then ties up. Sheamus pushes but Roman pushes him back into a corner. They break cleanly, then circle and tie up again. Sheamus gets the wristlock, the arm wrench, but Roman reverses to his own hammerlock. Sheamus gets to the ropes and they break again, but Roman teases the Mohawk. They go again, Roman gets the waistlock but Sheamus elbows out. Sheamus backs Roman into a corner with body shots, then rocks him with a European Uppercut and a headbutt. Roman hits back, bumping Sheamus off buckles and then whipping him corner to corner. Sheamus reverses but Roman fires out with a clothesline. The Bar regroups on the outside, Cesaro coaching up “Sheamy.”

Sheamus returns but Roman rocks him with right hands and then clotheslines him back outside. Cesaro helps Sheamus regroup again while the fans duel “Let’s go Roman!” “Roman sucks!” Sheamus drags Roman out and throws hands on the outside before bumping Roman off the apron. Roman keeps himself from going into the post then slings Sheamus into barriers! He bounces Sheamus off the apron in return, then throws him into more barriers. The fans cheer while Roman refreshes the count. He has to back Cesaro down, Sheamus takes advantage with the rolling senton!

The Celtic Gladiator has control while we go to break.

Raw returns, and Sheamus keeps Roman down with a keylock. The fans make noise but Cesaro doesn’t want to hear the random “Rusev Day!” chants. Sheamus wants them to “Respect the ‘Hawk!” Roman works his way up but Sheamus knees him back down. The fans tell Sheamus “You Look Stupid!” which upsets him, but Roman makes it worse with haymakers. Roman breaks free and starts rallying with lariats. He whips but Sheamus reverses, Roman runs Sheamus over with one more lariat. Roman runs at Sheamus in a corner but gets a big boot before being thrown right into the post. Then Sheamus adds the Irish Curse backbreaker, cover, TWO! Sheamus keeps going, stomping Roman in the stomach and tying up the legs in the Cloverleaf! Roman endures the bend while fans make noise both ways. Roman pushes himself up and reaches but Sheamus drags him away. Sheamus slips out of the hold, Roman shoves him then gets the Samoan Drop! Cover, TWO! Cesaro is relieved, but also coaches Sheamus to get back into this. Sheamus and Roman stir, the fans start firing up for Roman. He gets to a corner, locks and loads, then runs…

into White Noise! Cover, TWO! Sheamus is shocked, Cesaro protests. Cesaro gets Sheamus to stay focused, and Sheamus gets himself to a corner. Sheamus fires himself up, “FELLAAA!” He beats his chest a she takes aim at Roman, runs out, into a  SUPERMAN PUNCH! TWO! Cesaro is relieved again while Roman is a bit surprised. Roman gets up, lets out his howl, then runs in, to a foot! Sheamus runs out, but is picked up for the sit-out powerbomb! TWO! Both men are down from exhaustion, but Cesaro coaches Sheamus up. The fans keep cheering Roman on, and Roman gets up again. He fires up as he takes aim again, but Cesaro distracts from the apron. Sheamus rolls, TWO! Bicycle knee! Cover, TWO! Sheamus is furious with Roman’s resiliency.

He shoves Roman out of the ring, then distracts the ref for Cesaro to run in, but Cesaro is tossed into the crowd! Then SUPERMAN PUNCH brings Cesaro down! Sheamus rams a shoulder, but then Roman reverses a whip to send Sheamus into a post! Roman runs in for the Drive-By, but is intercepted by a lariat! Sheamus puts Roman in the ring then climbs up top. He takes aim, flying– SPEAR!! Cover, Roman wins! The Big Dog toughed it out with the Celtic Gladiator, can he show this same resiliency inside the Elimination Chamber?

 

Raw announces the newest Hall of Fame inductee: Ivory!

Starting in GLOW, Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling, the California grown superwoman would come to the WWE and help revolutionize the Women’s Division! Unfortunately, her triumph went to her head, and attempted to straighten out the WWE with her Right to Censor faction. She took on other great women wrestlers, such as Lita, Trish Stratus and even the Ninth Wonder of the World, Chyna! Whichever form of Ivory fans liked most, everyone can agree she belongs in the HoF Class of 2018!

 

Elimination Chamber Qualifying Fatal 5 Way: Finn Balor VS WOKEN Matt Hardy VS Apollo Crews w/ Titus Worldwide VS Bray Wyatt VS Seth Rollins!

The Architect joins four other superstars who are receiving a second chance at entering the Universal Championship #1 Contenders match. Which man will rise above the others to then attempt another overcoming of odds?

Raw returns with this match already red hot. Hardy and Bray brawl on an apron while Rollins stalks Crews around a corner. Bray clubs Hardy into the apron while Crews ditches Rollins. Crews bumps Bray off to then hit an asai moonsault!

Balor returns but gets a mule kick and a boot! Rollins returns but gets the jumping lariat! Crews kip-ups and fires up as he runs at Balor. Balor puts him on the apron for the swing kick. Rollins gets up but Balor rallies with forearms on him. Takedown and double stomp! Bray returns, Balor gets him with the elbow drop DDT, Hardy breaks the cover. Hardy forearms Balor and whips him but Balor elbows him away. Balor climbs but Hardy stops him. Hardy drags Balor out in a crucifix, but Rollins SUPERKICKS that down. Balor unloads on Rollins but Rollins runs, into the Slingblade! Balor runs corner to corner but into a SUPERKICK! Rollins sees Bray and evades, but still gets the body check! Bray fires up and drags Rollins to his feet. He prepares Sister Abigail but Rollins rolls through, TWO! SUPERKICK! Cover, Balor barely breaks it in time. Rollins throws Balor back out, then keeps Hardy out before returning to Bray. He scrambles to a corner and the top rope, but Crews returns to rock him with a right. Crews climbs up to join Rollins, then Hardy joins in. Balor does, too, and they prepare a Tower of Doom, but Bray returns to break it all up with another body check. Bray throws Balor out, then throws hands on Hardy. He throws Crews away and drags Rollins out for the draping shoulder jawbreaker!  Crews runs back in, but into the yurinagi and back senton!

TWO! Bray simply grins and laughs while we go to break.

Raw returns again, Bray clobbers Balor in a corner then fires fans up with his creepy spider walk. But Hardy says “WONDERFUL~!” and applauds. Bray is taken off his game while Hardy and the fans give him an ovation. He runs but into Hardy’s haymakers and forearms, then the DELETE buckle bumps. Hardy runs in for the clothesline but Bray powers out, only to end up in the Side Effect! Balor returns, and he gets a Side Effect, too!

Hardy hops up and takes aim, elbow to Bray’s head. He continues the “DELETE! DELETE!” and goes for the Twist, but Rollins hits the flying clothesline! Rollins chops and punches Bray into a corner, then whips corner to corner but is reversed. Bray runs but is booted away, as is Crews. Rollins hops up, double blockbuster! The fans fire up while Rollins sees that Wrestlemania sign. He runs, DIVES on Balor! Then he DIVES on Hardy! Then he DIVES on Bray! The Architect gets back in the ring with Crews, runs in corner to corner for the forearm smash, then right into the suplex roll-through Falcon arrow! Cover, TWO, and Titus is relieved. Crews and Rollins are down inside the ring while the others are all down on the outside. Titus rallies the fans, Crews and Rollins stand up. Crews elbows Rollins away but then Rollins knees Crews out. Bray returns, gets an enziguri! Rollins runs, but into the turn-around lariat! Bray covers, TWO, while Balor blasts Hardy and Crews on the outside. Balor gets back into the ring and slingblade on Bray! Blasting dropkick puts Bray in the corner. Balor climbs up top, takes aim but Rollins springs up to join him! They fight each other, but Rollins clubs Balor down. He Phoenix Splashes but rolls through when Bray evade.s Sister- no, Twist of Fate! Cover, Coup De Grace to break it! CURB STOMP!!

But Crews breaks the pin! Everyone is down again and the fans are loving it! “This is Awesome!” Crews and Rollins stir while Balor gets to the apron. The fans rally while Crews fires off shots, but then Rollins responds. Rollins forearms away on Crews like mad, then runs, but into a trophy lift! He slips out but Crews still gets him, Fall Away Drop to Standing Moonsault! TWO! Titus can’t believe how close Crews was. The others are all still down, so time is of the essence. Crews brings Rollins up, but Rollins resists and fights back. Wristlock reel out but enziguri counter! Standing shooting star, cover, TWO! Titus coaches Crews on, and Crews positions Rollins before climbing up top. Hardy returns to go after him, climbing up to join him. Crews resists, but Hardy clobbers him down to try again. Crews keeps fighting, and Bray brings Hardy all the way down for SISTER ABIGAIL on the ground!

Bray laughs before reentering the ring and going after Crews. He turns Crews around and rock shim with an uppercut before climbing up. Balor and Rollins revive to go over, and TOWER OF DOOM!! Both Balor and Rollins cover Bray, double three-count!? They both win?!

But, there’s only one spot in the Chamber, they can’t both go. And once both of them realize what happened, they’re arguing their point. The referee explains he saw them both pin Bray, so who the heck won!?

Kurt Angle addresses Raw's controversial main event

WWE Raw GM Kurt Angle has a solution following the end of the #Fatal5Way match! #WWEChamber

Posted by WWE on Monday, February 12, 2018

Yes, you heard right! Angle makes this Men’s Elimination Chamber truly historic by making it a SEVEN MAN match! Both The Architect and the Extraordinary Man join the Hollywood A-Lister, the Cenation, the Monster Among Men, The Big Dog and The Drifter in the Universal Championship #1 Contenders match! With the odds of the match growing even steeper, who will overcome and move on to face the Beast at Wrestlemania?!

 

My Thoughts:

What a fast-paced and entertaining Raw! Probably because it was more match and substance than promos and scripted attempts at building characters. Cena opens but gets right into a promo fight with Miz that leads to a match that actually impacts the Elimination Chamber match. Cena-Miz here tonight was incredible, championship/PPV worthy given the stakes. Miz losing isn’t even that bad, he can show how tough and intelligent he is by lasting a long time. And you may think, “What’s the point of making someone start first? Someone else will start with them.” But that in itself is the point: someone else starts with Miz, but that person could be anyone. Miz must be one of the first two to start the match, meaning he must survive them all to win. Then Revival VS Club was also great, and the back and forth in the wins and losses creates an evenly matched feud that helps build both teams up in the Raw Tag Team Division. The Bar doesn’t have challengers right now, but I imagine one or both of these teams could challenge them at Elimination Chamber or at Wrestlemania. And speaking of The Bar, Sheamus VS Roman was another solid match to keep Roman looking strong, as we can all tell he’s still the favorite for challenging Lesnar at ‘Mania.

The Raw Women’s Division moments were great, too. Sasha VS Bayley was amazing, on par with their instant classics from back in NXT, right down to Sasha being the all-but-stated Heel throughout. Even Nia attacking them both after was great, because Nia wants everyone to respect her. The fans already love her, but I still don’t think she’ll break Asuka’s Streak at Chamber, that’s something that should happen at ‘Mania, but maybe not this year’s ‘Mania. Meanwhile, Mickie rightfully questions Alexa’s motives, but they also rightfully keep it together as a team against Absolution. Absolution wins to further Alexa’s point, and to make the duo of Sonya & Mandy a strong alliance. The inaugural Women’s Chamber match could go anyone’s way but it’d be quite the pleasant surprise if Alexa lost to Sasha or Bayley so that they can fight over the belt on the Road to Wrestlemania.

Then there is THE major development in the Men’s Elimination Chamber match with the surprise Fatal 5 Way. Everyone was great it in, everyone got their moments, but then the finish was unexpected yet (in my opinion) spectacular. Balor and Rollins, the two men that first fought over the Universal Championship, both get a pinfall and though the televised version ends with controversy and confusion, WWE uses social media to sort it out. I’m thinking for this first ever Seven Man Elimination Chamber match, perhaps instead of two men starting it’ll be three so that Miz will have to use his two opponents against each other. If Roman winning is a foregone conclusion then there’s no point in complaining about the result, I just personally hope Balor lasts right up until the end.

My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY

JOHN CENA IS HERE!

The fans already chant “Let’s Go, Cena!” “CENA SUCKS!” before the music even begins! Then they sing along, “JOHN CENA SUCKS~!” as Cena walks out in the custom London merchandise. Cena goes to the ring, “The Last Time Is Now” towel draped over the back of his head like the other times, then he sets the towel on the apron. Cena grabs a mic, the fans continue to duel, and Cena winds up before bringing the mic up. Only for Cody Rhodes to make his entrance! The fans sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” The pyro goes off, Cody high-fives the fans in the front row and along the ramp, then he heads to the ring.

We get the second “WHOA~ OH~” and pyro before Cody pounds on the steel steps and steps up into the ring. Cody and Cena circle each other a bit before Cody grabs himself a mic. The fans finish singing the song, “YOU’LL FOLLOW ME UNTIL THE END~! I AM MY KINGDOM!” The fans cheer, then change to singing, “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cena steps to Cody but Cody tells him, no no no. We listened to Cena talking for two weeks, so allow Cody to do his job for him! Cena will cook Cody, end him, but where does he want to start? There is so much to make fun of when it comes to Cody! For starters, Cody’s lisp.

Cody will give him this one: Stardust! Fans cheer for “STARDUST! STARDUST!” Cody says that must bother Cena, that is who he is wrestling at WrestleMania 41, his final time! What else can Cena go after? Oh, yes! Cody spots it in the crowd and brings up the “arm tattoo on his neck.” The fans again sing for “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cody keeps going: He got booed in a company he helped make. But Cena won’t go for that. Maybe Cody is struggling with the idea that Superman is truly dead. The fans duel for “Let’s Go, Cena!” “CENA SUCKS!” Cody says this brings him to his next point: Cena’s words have not matched his actions.

For these last two weeks, Cena has lied to the audience. The fans boo, and Cody says they used to ride together, sing Poncho & Lefty. Cena surely cared about Cody, and he for sure cared about the fans. Don’t even look at Cody, look at the fans and tell them the real reason why. The fans chant, “You Sold Out!” while Cena thinks on his words. Cena says he is not going to reduce himself and punch down to Cody’s level. Cody’s been protected long enough. Cena also won’t “cook” Cody, he’ll just BURY him! Just like Cena has buried everyone else! The fans have been saying for years that Cena buries talent. Cena doesn’t bury talent, he IS talent! Cena BURIES mediocrity!

Cena doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the lisp or his failures. Cody has manipulated his way to the top of this business, and his ego outweighs his ability. All Cody has done is ride the coattails of Cena’s success! Cena has been so great, that the WWE could hand the heartbeat of this business to Cena’s chauffer! That’s right! Cody, your champion, is nothing more than Cena’s chauffer. A slimy pickpocket that thinks just cuz he stole the blueprints, he can run the kingdom! That is WHY Cena did it! Because it disgusts him! Cody sat by Cena’s side for YEARS, and stole every secret he needed to be undeniable, but he is still underwhelming.

Cena tried to drill it into Cody’s egotistical skull. Cody has to be authentic because fans can see through phony. Cody is too polished, too rehearsed, and relies on lazy gimmicks like fans singing his name just to get by! The fans boo, but then also sing, “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cena says Cody is just like the Pied Piper! All he’s ever done is find a way to make a catchy tune trick the people into loving mediocrity. Strip away the music and entrance, there is not much to look at but that pinstriped suit. But you could walk Cena out in silence, and you can bet your last dollar that he could body you before your first breath!

Cody Rhodes does not look like John Cena, doesn’t act like him, and doesn’t work like him. But Cody also doesn’t look like himself, act like himself, and work like himself, because he is still afraid to show who he is. So what do we get instead? Cody gives us a generic mix of every superstar he’s ever loved and every TV show he’s ever watched, in some big confused blob, that makes him still look like a 16-year-old kid taking acting lessons, because he is too afraid of public speaking. Cody Rhodes has shown Cena ONE thing, and the one thing is that someone mediocre wearing something meaningful is all it takes to trick the people!

Cena has worked too damn hard to make THAT a symbol of mastery to have it paraded by a paint-by-numbers, sociopathic nepo-baby who is so into himself that he had his wrestling gimmick tattooed for the world to see! It’s not where the tattoo is, it’s what the tattoo IS that exposes Cody for who he is: a common fan like the rest of them. So after WrestleMania, it’ll be great for Cody! He can go to Fanatics, buy the toy belt, call himself the fans’ champion, because the last real champion is taking that belt home forever to expose Cody for who he is: an errand boy that got lucky! Fans are actaully fired up behind Cena!?

Cody tells Cena that he didn’t expect this. But maybe Cena is right. Maybe Cody was chosen. But you know who chose him? The fans did. Can Cena say the same? Or was it some guy in an office who isn’t even here anymore and we can’t even talk about him? Yeah, let’s go ahead and go there. Stirp everything away from Cody, does he know who he is? He’s a wrestler like his father before him, and if anyone is a corporate creation, it is Cena and not Cody! Gosh, everyone is so terrified of Cena on the mic but Cody isn’t not. Cena had more d*ck in his promo than in his jorts! Making fun of Cody for looking like he’s a kid?

Well, Cena’s the one who hangs out with Zac Efron and wishes he was 16 again! And thanks for the softball saying Cena created all of this and he created Cody. Well, Cena created a lot of disenfranchised fans that made it easy for Cody to pack up, go somewhere else, and say, “Hey! Look at me!” Cody tells Cena not to act like he cleaned up his room before he packed up for Hollywood. And while we’re at it…! There are two of them in this ring right now, and what Cody is about to ask might punch a giant hole in Cena’s logic. Between the two of them, which one of them sold out to The Rock? The fans again chant at Cena, “You Sold Out!”

Cody tells Cena that Cena is still Cody’s hero. But Cena is also a POS. Cena smirks while fans repeat that. Cena says just like all the fans’, Cody’s head is full of feces and not facts. Cena has worked 100 times harder than Cody and never once in all of that was he ever protected from the audience, or the superstar, present company included, taking their best shot. Everyone knows that every time Cena steps in the ring, it is a challenge to every superstar to take their strongest swing to see if they are worthy to put Cena down. NO ONE has been worthy! So Cena has just decided to do it himself. That’s why Cena has never left, has always been here.

No matter how high the hill is to climb, no matter what garbage they give him, Cena finds a way to make it great. Cody had to leave because Cody realized that at best, he can’t even wipe Cena’s ass! Cena makes empires for billionaires! All Cody ever did was steal money from their kids. “See you at WrestleMania, champ.” Cena turns to go but Cody wants to remind Cena, that all the time Cody has been here, never once has an audience ever chanted, “You Can’t Wrestle.” Cena hears the fans repeat that and he turns red int he face! Cena storms back into the ring, he and Cody square up, but then Cena smirks again.

Cena tips his hat and then takes a swing! Cody catches him! CROSS RHODES!! Cody smooths out his suit while he stands over Cena. Then he points to the sign while fans sing, “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cody holds the belt up before he exits, will Cody do very much the same in just 19 days?

 

The New Day VS ???

Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods demanded a shot at the WWE World Tag Team Championships, but they were told to earn it. If they’re truly the best tag team in history, will they have absolutely no problem beating a mystery opponent? We find out, after the break.

Raw returns and Adam Pearce walks out. He reminds the new Day that they need to earn their title shot, and so London, please help in welcoming Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne! New Catch Republic is back! The London fans fire up as their Big Strong Boi & Bruiserweight are here, will they be the ones to earn that tag team title shot?

The teams sort out and Bate starts with Woods. The fans chant “Welcome Back!” as Bate and Woods circle. They tie up, and Bate wrenches to a knuckle lock. Bate rolls, then catches Woods with headscissors to bring him to the corner! Bate waves to the fans, tags Dunne, then RANAS Woods away! Dunne runs up to CLOBBER Woods! The fans fire up again and Dunne brings Woods up. Dunne bends the fingers, isolates Woods’ arm, and STOMPS it! Bate tags in, goes up, and he uses Dunne to KNEE-BOARD SENTON! Bate waves to Kofi,. Kofi runs in, but Bate DUMPS him out! Bate builds speed, Dunne CLOBBERS Kofi while Bate FLIES to hit Woods!

The fans fire up for their guys as they high-five, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns and Woods keeps Dunne from Bate. Dunne reaches out but Woods sends him into ropes. Woods then CHOKES Dunne, but stops at 4. Kofi CHOKES Dunne behind the ref’s back! Woods then runs to DROPKICK Dunne in the back! Cover, TWO! Dunne stays in this, but Woods grins as he soaks up the heat. The fans rally for Dunne as he rises, and Dunne CHOPS! And CHOPS! And forearms! Woods ROCKS Dunne, puts him back on ropes, and he tags Kofi. Woods holds Dunne down for Kofi’s APRON SENTON! The fans rally for NCR but Kofi AX HANDLES Dunne down! Cover, TWO! Kofi keeps Dunne down with an armlock.

Dunne reaches out, even as Kofi adds a chinbar. The fans rally, Dunne fights up, but Kofi CLUBS him! Kofi whips Dunne to the corner, Dunne goes up and over! Then hot tag to Tyler! The fans fire up as Bate rallies on Kofi, then he BLASTS Woods! Bate runs at the corner, Kofi dodges, but Bate catches Kofi! EXPLODER! Bate kips up, the fans fire up, and Bate fireman’s carries! AIRPLANE SPIN! The fans cheer as Bate goes around and around, TEN, then the THROW! The fans fire up while Bate is a bit dizzy. Bate wobbles but he tags Dunne. Bate then runs at Kofi, Dunne meets him, TOP BIN! And the LARIAT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Cover, Woods breaks it!

The fans rally up, Woods dodges Bate to BOOT him! Dunne kicks Woods, then puts him through ropes! Woods swings on Dunne, but Dunne grabs that hand! Dunne SNAPS the fingers! Woods falls, Kofi runs up! S O S! Cover, TWO! Dunne survives and Kofi is furious! The fans rally up, but Kofi brings Dunne up and tags Woods. New Day double whip, but Dunne KICKS Kofi! Dunne mule kicks Woods,. STOMPS Woods’ hands, but Woods ducks! BUZZSAW hits Kofi! Woods BACK SUPLEXES, but Dunne lands out! Tag to Bate! Bate blocks a kick, Bop up, BANG connects! Tag back to Dunne, then Bate runs up.

Woods puts Bate on the apron, but Dunne GAMANGIRIS! Dunne lifts Woods but Woods CLAWS Dunne’s eyes! Kofi YANKS Bate off the apron! Woods RAMS Dunne into buckles! Tag to Kofi, and then DAYBREAK!! Cover, New Day wins!

Winners: The New Day, by pinfall

New Catch Republic’s return was ruined, all because the “best” tag team had to cut corners! Cathy Kelley interviews New Day, congratulating them on the win. They felt deserving of a title opportunity, but do they feel this win cements that? Woods asks if Cathy is slow. They obviously deserve the title match, and they want it now! Kofi says they did what they said they would, and now they demand what they are owed! That is a title match for THE WWE World Tag Team Championships! Well, here come the War Raiders! The fans fire up as Erik & Ivar storm out on stage, belts on their shoulders, and they stare down with The New Day.

Erik & Ivar are always ready, so will they and New Day take this all the way to Las Vegas?

 

Jey checks on Jimmy.

The Usos are pumped up. Jey knows Jimmy told him earlier, but Jey would just feel better if he was out there with Jimmy tonight. Jimmy knows that, but tonight is different. Jimmy knows the world is doubting Jey. But tonight, Jimmy closes that noise. Gunther’s a big deal, but so is Jey. And so is Jimmy. Ain’t no Ring General, just a man who is beatable. Tonight, Jimmy beats Gunther. At WrestleMania, Jey beats Gunther and becomes World Heavyweight Champion! YEET! They shake it out and then Jey holds on. “I hear you. Just be careful.” Jimmy nods, and Jey heads out. Will #BigJim make good on his word? Or will Gunther get back at him for last week’s slap?

 

Jimmy Uso VS GUNTHER!

Raw returns as Jimmy is in the ring, and then Gunther makes his entrance. The bell rings and the fans rally as Jimmy stares Gunther down. Gunther grins, then he and Jimmy circle. Then Gunther runs up, but Jimmy counter punches! Jimmy ROCKS and CHOPS but Gunther shoves him back! Jimmy UPPERCUTS, then fires CHOP after CHOP! Gunther shoves Jimmy and BOOTS him down!

SLEEPER!! Jimmy is caught, he is OUT! Gunther wins!

Winner: Gunther, by submission

Der Ring General shows how truly dangerous he is, and he puts the World Heavyweight Championship back around his waist. But then he decides he isn’t done! Gunther hauls Jimmy up and into the SLEEPER!! The fans chant “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and here comes Jey! Jey rushes the ring but Gunther lets Jimmy go, only for Jey to TACKLE him! The fans fire up as they brawl, and Gunther is retreating! Jey pursues, he throws hands, but Gunther shoves Jey away! Gunther runs away into the crowd and the fans boo. Jey dares Gunther to finish what he started, but Der Ring General is going to make him wait. Will Gunther regret all of this once WrestleMania arrives?

 

Raw returns and…

Jey helps Jimmy to the back, but then Gunther CLOBBERS THEM BOTH! Der Ring General then THROWS Jey into steel steps! Gunther pushes the steps apart, then he hauls Jey up. Gunther CHOPS, referees and producers and security all rush out here, and they stop Gunther from hitting Jey off the steps. So Gunther takes a guard and POWERBOMBS him on the steps!!

Jey tells Jimmy to get away but Gunther drags Jimmy up! GUNTHER BOMB!! Jey is enraged but he can’t get free! Gunther rains down fists on Jimmy, painting himself with Jimmy’s blood! Gunther even tastes the blood, and the fans tell Gunther he’s sick! Gunther shoves Jimmy towards Jey so Jey can grab Jimmy’s hand, but then Gunther sits Jimmy up for HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! And the SLEEPER! Jey is enraged but there’s nothing he can do!

Refs and producers get in the ring, they tell Gunther to stop, but Gunther just keeps taunting Jey! Gunther lets Jimmy go, and he’s covered in blood like a damn psychopath! Pearce is finally here and he asks what the Hell is wrong with Gunther! Gunther raises the belt and soaks up the heat, will Jey make him pay in spades?

 

The Judgment Day talks backstage.

Finn Balor checks with Dominik Mysterio, how many chicken tendies did he have? A lot. But sadly, no ranch! Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez walk in, and Liv sees the boys buried the hatchet. Finn says of course they did! Everyone knows that brothers fight, but they always make up. Dom says they always have each other’s backs. And now that the funny business about a new member is behind them, they’ll focus on what’s important: bringing gold back to the clubhouse! And that starts with showing Bron Breakker & Penta that the Judgment Day are a well-oiled machine. Everyone likes that!

Finn then tells Raquel, hard luck on that loss to Lyra. But don’t worry, Finn will bring home the Intercontinental Championship. Sure he will. Finn & Dom head out, Carlito nods, but Raquel looks at him. What is he still doing here? Go with them! Go! Right, right! Carlito heads out, and Raquel is annoyed. Liv says they just need to handle Bayley and Lyra. Will Judgment Day be truly golden again? Or will their fortunes only turn worse on the Road to WrestleMania?

 

Bron Breakker & PENTA VS Finn Balor & Dominik Mysterio w/ Carlito!

Well, speaking of the Badass and the Man with No Fear, it’s going to be a rather tricky team-up for these two when they only just battled over the Intercontinental Championship. But can they put their differences aside to destroy some common enemies? We find out, after the break!

Raw returns and Judgment Day makes their entrance together. The teams sort out and Dom starts against Penta. They circle, but then Finn snags Penta’s shirt! Dom fires off on Penta in the distraction! The fans boo, the ref counts, but Dom stops at 4. Finn soaks up the heat while Dom whips Penta to ropes. Penta ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! Tag to Bron and the fans bark as Bron CLOBBERS Dom! Bron snarls at Finn, stands Dom up and military presses for a SLAM! Bron then scoops Dom, but Dom slips free! Tag to Finn, but Bron catches Finn by the neck! Finn fires a body shot, but Bron headlocks. Finn powers up and out, drops down, then leaps, into a POWERSLAM!

The fans bark with Bron again, and he runs up to ELBOW Finn in the corner! Tag to Penta, and Penta GAMANGIRIS! Penta sits Finn down, headstands on the corner, and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up, Dom runs up, and Penta scoops to BACKBREAKER! Bron steps in and he LARIATS Dom up and out! Penta builds speed and he FLIES! Down go Finn & Dom and the fans fire up while Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Finn RAMS Penta into the corner again and again. Tag to Dom, Dom RAMS into Penta again and again, then Dom snapmares Penta. Tag to Finn and he slingshot STOMPS! Finn tags back to Dom, and Dom slingshot SENTONS! Cover, TWO! Penta stays in this but Dom stays on him. The fans rally up as Dom reels Penta in, and snap suplexes! That’s Uno Amigo, and then Dom hits Dos Amigos! The fans boo as Dom gives some Latino Heat, but Penta slips free! Dom kicks Penta, whips, but Penta goes up and over to BACKSTABBER! Both men are down and the fans fire up! The fans bark as Penta crawls, hot tags to Finn and Bron!

Bron CLOBBERS Finn, DECKS him, then DECKS Dom! Bron clinches Finn for an OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! BELLY2BELLY for Dom! Finn kicks low, reels Bron in, but Bron fights the suplex! Dom helps out, but Bron still fights it! Bron DOUBLE SUPLEXES Dom and Finn! The fans are thunderous as Bron brings down the straps! Bron has Finnin a fireman’s carry, but Finn CLAWS eyes! Finn runs, but Bron dodges and builds speed! LARIAT! The fans fire up again, and Bron tags Penta. Bron says go up, so Penta climbs. Bron stands Finn up, Electric Chair Lifts, and we get a SUPER SLING-DOG! Cover, Dom breaks it!

The fans boo but Bron has Dom! Bron TOSSES Dom out, Penta aims at Finn. Finn stands into a SUPERKICK !Penta then goes up the corner, the fans sing, “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~! CERO~ MIEDO~!” Carlito distracts the ref as Dom anchors Penta’s foot! Bron DECKS Carlito, Penta ROCKS Dom! “CERO! MIEDO!” Penta leaps, but Dom helps stop the Destroyer! Dom sees Finn, runs up, but Dom shoves Penta into the SPEAR!! Bron is upset, but then Finn TOSSES Bron out! Dom WRECKS Bron with a dropkick! Finn goes up, and he gives Penta the COUP DE GRACE!! Cover, Judgment Day wins!

The numbers game pays off once again, and Judgment Day just gave Penta the first loss on his WWE record! Will Judgment Day finally stay on the same page and have all the success in the world?

 

Adam Pearce talks with Chad Gable.

Gable admits, Pearce did a great job signing El Grande Americano. Did you see that last week? Gable wouldn’t mind getting into the ring with that guy some day. Pearce says the LWO would like that, too, but apparently, Gable still isn’t well enough to compete? Uh… Gable coughs on cue, and has another doctor’s note. Of course… That’s a shame, though, because next week, Raw returns to Minneapolis. Wait, Gable’s hometown? Well, he’ll be good by then! Give him a match! He’ll compete! Pearce says that while he appreciates that, the doctor’s note kinda ties his hands. Gable says by the time he’s back on American soil, he’ll be fine. Gable knows how to get healthy.

Pearce says no, nothing is more important than Gable’s health. Beside, Pearce is already making arrangements. Who better to compete on American soil than El Grande Americano? Gable says no, that’s HIS hometown! But it is official. Doctor’s orders, Gable. Gable frowns, turns to go, but runs into the Alpha Academy. Gable says, “Clowns. Idiot.” He leaves, Pearce apologizes for that, but Maxxine Dupri hopes Pearce has time to talk the tag team division. He is always happy to talk about Otis & Tozawa. Maxxine says it’s not just them, but also she wants to discuss her opportunities. Maxxine has been talking with Natalya lately, and they’ve got some ideas.

Pearce says in that case, let’s all get together and talk. Maxxine appreciates that! What could we be getting for The Alpha Babes & The Queen of Harts?

PLAY BY PLAY

Toni Storm is here!

Milwaukee cheers as The Good Land is now TIMELESS! Toni goes right to the ring, puts her AEW Women’s World Championship belt right down on the mat, and has a mic to say, “Milwaukee, I love you.” The fans cheer that! Toni says please, enough of the banter! “Megan Bayne, get your oiled up, feathered ass out here right now!” No response, so Toni says fine. If Megan is too busy crushing watermelons and eating babies, then listen up! The spotlight drops on Toni as the fans chant her name. Toni says, “Last Wednesday, you were the better woman. I don’t know what happened, it all happened so fast. But before I knew it, I was flat on my back like you’d just bought me a steak dinner.

“I am embarrassed. I am hurt. And I’m ashamed. And the worst part is, you made it look so easy.” Toni rests on the mat beside her belt to say, “I went back to my hotel, and I turned off all the lights. And I laid there, going over the same scene in my head over and over and over again, wondering if this is what’s going to happen to me at Dynasty.” Fans say no, but Toni continues, “And then, when the sun came up, I was covered in sweat. Moreso than usual. But I got up, and I went into the bathroom and I took a piss. And then I stubbed my toe, then I whacked my head on the sink. And when I came to, I looked into the mirror, and I remembered exactly who I am!”

The fans cheer, and Toni rises up to say, “I am Timeless Toni Storm! And at Dynasty, I will be leaving with your tits in my purse!” Toni approaches the ropes for her close up, only to be CLOBBERED by Penelope Ford! The Superbad Girl grins, the fans boo, but Ford fires off hands on Toni! Ford whips, but Toni reverses to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ford ends up in a corner, Toni runs in, SWEET HIP MUSIC! The fans fire up as Toni stomps a mudhole into Ford! But then Megan CLOBBERS Toni! The fans boo as now the Megasus gets the drop on Toni! Megan fireman’s carries, FATE’S DESCENT on the belt!

The fans boo even more as Megan sits Toni up, tells her to “BOW! DOWN!” then throws Toni down again! Megan stands over Toni, and with just EIGHT DAYS left, is there no such thing as “timeless” in AEW?

 

The Death Riders speak.

Claudio Castagnoli starts with German, and he says that while Dax Harwood will be the first victim of the Death Riders, this Wednesday is when the Swiss Cyborg does something for himself. Claudio calls out Adam Copeland to go 1v1 for what Cope did to him! And if Copeland thinks that was ruthless, Claudio knows he is losing his edge and is just trying to cope with it! Claudio will beat Cope to a pulp, but leave just enough of him alive to limp to Dynasty so he can team up with his “two little groupies,” and fail at another chance of becoming champion here in AEW.

Moxley pats Claudio on the shoulder and says, “There are only three women I fear in this world: My mother, my sister, and my wife. Until I met Marina Shafir. On the day that she just snaps, I know I don’t wanna be the one who pissed her off. Part of me thinks maybe me and you, Swerve, we should just grab some popcorn, sit and watch these ladies tear each other apart. But you talked a really, really big game on Wednesday, and now you gotta back it up. Right now, that’s the job. Poor, sweet Willow.” Marina speaks up and warns Willow in Romanian, then in English she dares Willow to keep smiling once Marina’s ripped out her liver and shoved it down her throat!

Moxley & Claudio look at each other, Moxley with wide eyes and Claudio with a big smile. They head out with Marina, will there be no solving this Problem?

 

Jay White VS Kevin Knight!

The Switchblade has put his name in the hat for the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, knowing full well Will Ospreay and Hangman Adam Page will be in it, too. But will White be rolling towards the Owen Hart Cup opening round? Or will The Jet take him on quite the flight?

The bell rings and the fans rally. White and Knight circle, and Milwaukee is strongly behind the Switchblade. The two tie up, White waistlocks but Knight drop toeholds. Knight floats to a facelock, floats to a cover, but White slips through to headlock. Knight rolls free and the two stand off. The fans cheer, White and Knight reset, and they knuckle lock. White rolls, wrenches, and wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and then wrenches to WRING White! White rolls through and the fans cheer. White shakes out the arm while Knight brushes himself off. They tie up again and are in a deadlock.

They go around, White headlocks, then hits the takeover. Knight headscissors, White shrugs that off, but Knight rolls to a cover. TWO, Knight headscissors again, but White kips free. Knight headlocks, White rolls free, then he hits a headlock takeover again! Knight headscissors, White kips free again, and now Knight headlocks. White powers up and out, they RAM shoulders, and White rebounds to run Knight over! But Knight springs right back up! The fans cheer, and now White fires forearms! White runs, Knight hurdles, but then White fakes Knight out! The fans cheer, Knight still arm-drags White around!

Knight ducks ‘n’ dodges White to tilt-o-whirl and RANA! Not the smoothest but White is right up to CHOP back! White shakes out the stars, storms up on Knight and CHOPS again! And CHOPS in the corner! The fans fire up while Knight goes to a corner. White storms up, reels Knight in, then suplexes. Knight slips free to UPPERCUT, UPPERCUT, and UPPERCUT again! Knight whips, White grabs ropes, and then White TOSSES Knight to the apron! Knight bobs ‘n’ weaves, ROCKS White, then steps in. White grabs a leg, DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Both men are down and the fans rally up!

Knight stands, White CHOPS him to the corner! The fans fire up and White LARIATS! White brings Knight around, suplexes, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Knight stays in this but White stays calm while Collision goes picture in picture.

White looms over Knight, drags him up, and CHOPS! Knight flops out of the ring! White pursues, but Knight CHOPS! White CHOPS back! Knight CHOPS in return! White CHOPS, Knight CHOPS, and repeat! Knight fires CHOP after CHOP, then he puts White in the ring. White is on Knight with a CHOP! Knight sputters while White catches his breath, and then White covers, TWO! White covers again, TWO! White clamps onto Knight with a chinlock and grinds him down. Knight endures, fights up, and fires body shots. White CHOPS Knight again! Knight sputters and flounders to the corner but White is on him again.

White stands Knight up, CHOPS him, then whips corner to corner hard! Knight slumps down in the corner but White drags him to a cover, TWO! White drags Knight up, puts him in a corner then puts him up top. White CHOPS Knight, climbs up, but Knight fires body shots! Collision returns to single picture as White hops down. Knight throws hands, then adjusts position. But White CHOPS Knight down! Knight falls to the apron, tries to hold on, but then slumps down to the floor. Milwaukee is fired up again as White storms out after Knight. White puts Knight in the ring, covers, TWO! White keeps Knight down with a REAR BEARHUG!

The fans rally as Knight fights up and fires body shots. White CHOPS again! Knight drops to a knee, but he shakes his head. Knight stands, but White CHOPS again! Knight again drops to his knees, the fans fire up, and Knight rises! Knight ducks a chop to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! Knight ROCKS White, whips him, but White reverses to CHOP! White runs, but into a DROPKICK! Both men are down and the fans fire back up! White and Knight stir, and Knight roars as he rises up! Knight ROCKS White, counter punches, then fires a flurry! White knees low, whips Knight to the corner, but Knight comes back to CLOBBER White!

Knight LARIATS White, whips him, but White reverses. Knight goes up and over, then scoops to SLAM! The fans fire up and Knight UFO SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! White survives and Knight is a bit surprised, but he fireman’s carries. White fights free to CHOP! White whips, Knight leaps over the lariat, then SUPERKICKS! White ends up in a corner, Knight runs in, but White puts him on the apron! Knight ROCKS White first, then springboards, but into the clinch! URE- NO, Knight arm-drags White into a takedown and cover, TWO!! White escapes and Knight is shocked! White clinches, BLADE- NO, Knight slips around and shoves White to a corner!

Knight runs in, White ELBOWS him, then goes up! UPPER ROOM!! Knight throws White down and gets moving, but White ducks a lariat! COMPLETE SHOT, then the waistlock! Deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up and White drags Knight up. White clinches for the URENAGE! White says time to end it! Clinch and BLADERUNNER!! Cover, White wins!

Winner: Jay White, by pinfall

Knight pushed White in this one, but he still had to Breathe with the Switchblade! White grabs a mic to say, “Let’s hear it for Kevin Knight!” The fans cheer, and White says, “Just like myself, Kevin went through the NJPW Dojo. And although this year, it won’t be yours in the Owen, there’s always next year. Because I’m pretty sure we’re going to see a lot more of Kevin Knight in AEW.” The fans cheer that! White says that was Knight’s cue to leave but guess Milwaukee thought otherwise. White says, “See you around.” They shake hands, and Knight takes off. When and where will The Jet fly back to AEW?

White says the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament will have the best of the best. And just like White does every time, he will show us that he is the MOST elite! Because he needs to win the Owen Hart Cup, because he needs to go on to All In: Texas, because he needs his shot at the AEW World Championship! The fans cheer that, and White says because he is the Last Rock ‘n’ Rolla, the man who singlehandedly sold out Madison Square Garden, King Switch! The Catalyst of Professional Wrestling! This is STILL his era! And at All In, White will show us it is STILL the Switchblade Era! White has issued his mission statement, but will it be mission accomplished by July?

 

AEW shares a tweet from Athena.

In response Mercedes Mone posting, “Milwaukee, say hello to your C E O,” The Fallen Goddess says, “Maybe I will say hi… TONIGHT!” Could the Forever ROH Women’s Champion be the one to face the TBS Champion tonight? We’ll have to see, after the break!

 

Mercedes Mone VS Robyn Renegade!

#FourBeltsMone held onto the TBS Championship after getting quite the fight from Billie Starkz. But her AEW Dynasty dance card is still open. Will Mone win herself a night off? Or will this Renegade make Mone work for her money?

The bell rings and Mone circles with Robyn. They tie up, go around, and Mone headlocks. Robyn powers out but Mone runs her over! Milwaukee is tourn, but things speed up. Mone steps on Robyn’s dropdown, then does her dance. Robyn runs up, Mone gets around to waistlock, but Robyn switches. They go to ropes, Mone bucks the O’Conner, but Robyn comes back with a sunset flip! TWO, and Robyn SHOTGUNS Mone down! Robyn does her own version of Mone’s dance, then drags Mone up. Mone stops a kick to KNEE Robyn away! Mone runs in at the corner, but Robyn dodges and KNEES Mone back!

Robyn runs side to side and BOOTS Mone! The fans are still torn as Robyn puts Mone up top. Robyn climbs up, but Mone shoves her down! Mone leaps, CROSSBODY! But Robyn rolls through! Robyn shows some power as she scoops Mone and pops her around, only for Mone to slip out! Mone gut wrenches Robyn to a CIPHER UTAKI! Cover, TWO! Robyn survives and Mone is a bit surprised. Robyn goes to a corner, Mone runs up, and Mone stops the boot to put Robyn in the ropes! Mone jumps up, but Robyn dodges the Stock Drop! Mone grabs at Robyn but Robyn KNEES Mone in the ropes! Robyn then goes up to STOMP Mone down!

The fans rally as Robyn shoves Mone down. Robyn climbs, the fans rally, and Robyn MOONSAULTS, but FLOPS as Mone moves! Mone drags herself up and climbs, to then METEORA! Cover, TWO! Robyn survives again but Mone is right on her! Goery Especial for the MONEY MAKER! And then STATEMENT MAKER! Robyn TAPS, Mone wins!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by submission

The CEO smiles as she puts this Renegade down and grabs up all her belts. Tony Schiavone joins Mone in the ring and congratulates her on another win. It seems like that the Money Train is running hotter than ever. But he understands she had something she wants to say, so the floor is hers. Mone says that’s right. The fans boo, Mone frowns, and she takes the mic from Schiavone. “I am the greatest TBS Champion of all time! And I came to AEW to win more gold. So I’m officially declaring myself in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s right! I’m planning on winning the Owen Cup.

“And then, the Money Train is gonna make her way to Texas to All In! And then, I’m going to become the AEW Women’s World Champion!” Fans are torn again but Schiavone says that tournament will have a lot of competition, including Billie Starkz, who- Mone stops Schiavone there. She doesn’t wanna hear about that stupid kid! Billie has a lot of heart, but not as much heart as Robyn! Give it up for Robyn! Way more heart than that stupid Billie. Who even trained Billie? They suck! You’re looking at the greatest women’s wrestler of all time! WAIT! Athena really IS here! The fans cheer as THE ROH Women’s World Champion is on AEW!

Athena goes to the ring, and she holds up her spinner belt while looking at Mone’s collection. The fans are all behind Athena and that annoys Mone. Mone puts her belts aside, to take a swing on Athena! Athena dodges and DECKS Mone! The fans cheer, Athena goes to the corner, and Robyn helps Mone up. Mone gets away, O-FACE for Robyn! Well, not the target Athena wanted, but Athena does look at Mone’s TBS Championship. Athena shouts, “This is MY show now!” Will Athena’s Forever Reign be the one to add more gold? Or has she just put herself on Mone’s gold colleting radar?

 

Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.

Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and it would seem there is unfortunate news. Aminata’s hand is wrapped up, she is unable to compete tonight. Taking her place in tonight’s main event is Billie Starkz. Given all this, how does- Serena Deeb walks in. Deeb smirks and says Aminata must know this was preventable, right? Deeb had the game plan, offered it to Aminata, and Aminata didn’t want to listen. Let’s look at history, Aminata. Every time Aminata listened, she won. Every time she didn’t, not only does she lose, she ends up injured. This is all choices. Everything they do is choices. And unfortunately, Aminata made the wrong choice.

Aminata admits, Deeb is right. Everything is about choices. And Aminata still choose not to listen to Deeb’s trash! Not listening to any of that. Okay, Queen, Deeb respects that. But deep down, Aminata knows Deeb is right. And if Aminata thinks there’s a slight chance that she knows that Deeb is right, well, Aminata will have some weeks at home to rest up. Here’s some reading material. Deeb shoves her playbook into Aminata’s hand, will Aminata do her homework?

 

“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith VS Top Flight w/ Leila Grey!

Speaking of learning, The Redwood & Bad Apple want to make The Learning Tree proud, and that means winning some championships to go along with Chris Jericho’s ROH World Title. Will Bill & Keith be one step closer to facing The Hurt Syndicate with tonight? Or will Darius & Dante Martin soar far above the trees to be next in line for gold?

The teams sort out and Bill starts against Darius. The fans rally, but Dante wants in! Darius tags Dante in, and now Keith says he wants in! Bill tags Keith, he and Dante tie up, and they go around. Keith puts Dante on ropes, Dante turns things around, but Dante lets off as the ref counts. The two go again, Keith arm-drags hard and has the armlock. Dante rolls and arm-drags free, then he DROPKICKS Keith down! The fans fire up, Dante A-LIST LARIATS! Tag to Darius, he snap suplexes Keith and tag sin Dante. Slingshot SENTON! The fans cheer, Dante brings Keith up but Keith shoves free!

Darius tags in, Top Flight gets Keith for the LARIAT STO COMBO! Cover, TWO! Darius stands Keith up to CHOP, then UPPERCUT! Darius whips corner to corner, Keith reverses, but Darius goes up and over. Darius rolls, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down! Keith brings Darius over, tag to Bill, and the fans boo as Bill & Keith mug Darius. Bill drags Darius up but Darius fires body shots! Bill CLUBS Darius down, then puts him in a corner. Bill CHOPS Darius, Darius sputters and the fans fire up. Bill stands Darius up, Darius fires more body shots, but Bill CHOPS again! Bill brings Darius over, tags in Keith, but Darius fires forearms and elbows!

Darius ROCKS Bill, goes up to BOOT, then TORNADO- NO, Bill puts Darius on the apron! Darius ROCKS Bill, but Keith BOOTS Darius! Keith goes out after Darius to CHOP him, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Keith stands Darius up, CLAWS his eyes, and then CHOPS him again! Darius staggers away, Keith storms after him, and then Keith puts Darius in the ring. Keith pushes Darius to a cover, TWO! Keith argues with the ref but the count is the count. Keith drops a knee on Darius’ face, then covers, TWO! Keith is getting annoyed, but he tells Dante to pipe down. Darius fires body shots and forearms, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down again. Keith brings Darius up to whip, but then sends him back the other way for an ELBOW! Bill applauds but he might be the only one. Keith steps on Darius’ face, then has a cocky cover, TWO!

Keith references Jericho but that doesn’t finish it, so Keith clamps on a CAMEL CLUTCH! Darius endures, even as Keith CLAWS his face! The ref reprimands, Keith stops, and Darius fights up. Darius pries at the hold, but Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Bill BODY BLOWS Darius down! The fans are torn as Bill stalks Darius. Bill drags Darius back by a leg but the fans continue to rally for Top Flight. Keith runs in around the way, but Dante SUPERKICKS Keith first! Darius lunges forward, hot tag to Dante! The fans fire up as Dante springboards, but Bill gets under. Dante comes back, but Bill LARIATS him down! Bill grins and soaks up cheers and jeers. Bill runs in at Dante to SPLASH! Then he runs at Darius to SPLASH! Back to Dante for a BOOT! Darius dodges the lariat, but not the BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans are torn as Bill talks trash on Bobby Lashley!

Bill soaks up the cheers and jeers while Keith has Dante in the corner. Bill runs up, but Dante slips free! The SPLASH takes out Keith! Dante HURDLES Bill!? But no Darius, so Dante realizes he’s cornered. Bill storms up, Dante BOOTS him away, and Darius returns! Tag to Darius, and Dante runs up. Bill scoops, Dante slips free, and Dante BLASTS Keith while Darius HOTSHOTS Bill! Dante ENZIGIRIS, Darius GAMANGIRIS, and Dante SUPERKICKS! Bill staggers into the step-in COMPLETE SHOT! The fans fire up while Bill bails out, and Keith runs up! Darius gives Dante the alley-oop, then Dante helps Darius TORNADO DDT Keith!

Dante DIVES and takes out Bill! Darius scoops Keith, SHELL SHOCKE! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives, but Darius tags Dante! Dante goes up, but Bill anchors Dante! Darius WRECKS Bill with a dropkick! But Bill grabs Darius! Bill RAMS Darius into barriers! But Dante SUPER CANNONBALLS Bill! The fans are thunderous, Dante MAMBA SPLASHES, but onto knees! Keith RAMS Dante into a corner, clinches, and hits the EXPLODER! Tag to Bill, and Keith says get ’em! Bill SPLASHES Dante, then feeds him to Keith’s KNEE! Keith KNEES Darius off the apron! Bill hoists Dante up, SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM! Cover, Bill & Keith win!

Winners: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith, by pinfall

If that teamwork and victory doesn’t say they’re ready, that look on Bill’s face sure does. Will the Learning Tree do this to the Hurt Syndicate? Or will Lashley & Shelton just hurt people?

Wait, The Cru slithers in! They have the chain necklaces ready like last week! Leila spots them, but it’s AR FOX that jumps in! Fox stands with Top Flight and The Cru backs off. Action says that’s fine, they’ll let it go this time. But will The Sight to See & The Man of the Hour ground Top Flight one way or another?

 

Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.

Lexy Nair is with the Southampton Hayter and welcomes her back. Last time we saw her, she was victorious over Julia Hart, and now she’s in the main event of Collision. How does it feel to be back again? Hayter says it feels great. And if you know Hayter, you know she doesn’t like doing things by half measures. So being in the main event is just another Saturday night for her. But she will say she is very excited to be in the ring with a young whippersnapper like Billie Starkz. It really injects some energy into Hayter, it lights that fire. And Billie has a lot of fire herself, and Hayter likes that. Billie gets knocked down but she gets back up.

And Hayter while respects that about Billie, she doesn’t want Billie to confuse respect for mercy. If Billie steps to Hayter, Hayter will hit back and knock her on her ass. There’s no hesitation, no second chances. So if Hayter were Billie, she’d be smart. Or, find out the hard way. Your choice. Oh, and one more thing. Hayter noticed some girls are already putting in for the Owen Hart Tournament, so Hayter will do that, too. And it is very fitting that she returned at All In last year, because this year, she leaves All In the champion! Hayter is ready, how hard will she hit Billie on this Collision?

 

Adam Cole is here!

The Undisputed Kingdom follows him out, complete with “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” as the Panama City Playboy prepares for his NO TIME LIMIT AEW TNT Championship match at Dynasty. As such, here comes the champion, Daniel Garcia! Daddy Magic has Garcia’s back as he goes to the ring, and the fans cheer for all parties involved. Cole has the mic and wants Garcia to listen. Cole knows tensions are high, but he’ll make this crystal clear: Cole has all the respect in the world for Garcia. The past two matches they’ve had are two of the toughest matches Cole’s had in his AEW career.

When they saw Garcia is the future of AEW, Cole means that in his soul, and the fans sure believe that. That is because Garcia is a fighting champion. When Cole challenged Garcia for the TNT Championship, Cole could not get the job done. But neither did Garcia. And so as a fighting champion, that must make Garcia sick to his stomach. He must not be able to sleep at night knowing he didn’t and couldn’t put Cole away. And unless Garcia is a coward, he’d want to change that. Cole sure wants to change that. Cole doesn’t want things to end in a draw. This needs to end with one man proving that he is better than the other, and dammit, that man is Cole!

Cole knows, Garcia knows, the entire world knows, that Garcia and Cole need to finish this fight. The fans cheer, Garcia nods, and he tells Cole he appreciates the kind words. Garcia agrees with a lot of that. They’ve been in the ring almost two months straight. And as much fun as it has been testing his iron against one of the best, truly, Garcia is getting a little bit frustrated. It is eating Garcia alive that he couldn’t beat Cole. Matt Menard tells Garcia that he is THE TNT Champion. How many chances is Cole gonna get? Garcia doesn’t need to be talked into this. It is Cole’s job to defeat Garcia, and Cole couldn’t do it!

Menard says Garcia doesn’t have to go through with this. Garcia pats Menard on the shoulder and says yeah, he doesn’t have to do this. But he wants to! So then, they will run it back one last time, BAYBAY! Roddy shouts, “DANNYYY~! Hey, listen. I have all the respect in the world for you. And just like Adam said, you are the future. And I’m not just saying this because he’s my best friend, but he is one of the best pro-wrestlers on the planet. And as good as you are, you’re just not there yet, dude.” Menard says, “Not there yet?” Menard and Roddy argue, Kyle joins in, but Garcia tells them all that this is enough!

Enough noise, enough distractions! April 6th, Kyle won’t be out there, Roddy won’t be out there, and Menard won’t be out there. Menard is a bit taken aback, but Garcia says at Dynasty, there will be no one ringside, there will be no time limit, and it will be Cole VS Garcia for the TNT Championship, ONE LAST TIME, and there WILL be a winner, cuz you’re looking right at him! Garcia holds up the title, but will he still own that title when it’s all said and done? Or is Dynasty going to be Undisputed?

 

Athena & Billie Starkz regroup backstage.

The Fallen Goddess says, “Mercedes~! HAHA~! Is that it?” Billie says yeah, just about. Athena says that is so annoying. But what’s the expression? Poke a bear, it might bite you? Well here’s one better. Mercedes, if you’re gonna be a passive aggressive b*tch, you’re gonna get hit. How did you like the taste of the floor? Was it good for Mercedes? Cuz it was great for Athena. So use this as a learning lesson: Keep Athena’s name, and her Minion’s name, out of your damn mouth. But hey! Mone is in the business of collecting championships? OMG, she’s such an inspiration, Athena is gonna do the same thing.

So how about this? Let’s get to real business, not that Mone knows what that is. Athena declares to her Minions and to the AEW fans around the world. Your Forever ROH Champion, Fallen Goddess, American Joshi, Minion Overlord, and all those other things, is OFFICIALLY ENTERING the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s great, right? And Billie! Billie made this all come together, what a brilliant little schemer she’s becoming. Billie has her match tonight! The main event! Look at her! And against a former AEW Women’s World Champion, Jamie Hayter. Is she ready? Yeah, she’s ready! She’ll make Athena proud!

Athena is sure Billie will find a way to disappoint, but tonight, Athena will be watching very closely. Good luck. Billie gives a salute, and it seems no matter if it’s ROH or AEW, Athena keeps Billie under her thumb. Will the inaugural and former ROH Women’s World TV Champion prove she’s ready for the big time?

 

Dax Harwood VS Wheeler Yuta!

Rated FTR made the challenge for the AEW World Trios Championships, The Death Riders made the challenge for Rated FTR to survive. And while Claudio wants Cope’s head on Dynamite, this Collision will kick things off! Will Dax the Ax chop down the youngest member of Moxley’s crew? Or will The Decoder already figure Dax out?

The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. They tie up, break, then go again. They break again, fans chant “YUTA SUCKS!” and Dax smirks. Dax and Yuta circle, tie up, and Dax spins Yuta to wrench an arm. Yuta rolls, switches the wrench and has the wristlock. Dax rolls, spins, and he wrenches to then slip through and headlock fort the takeover! Dax pushes Yuta down to a cover, ONE, but Dax holds onto the headlock. Yuta powers Dax to a corner, the ref counts, and both men let go slowly. Yuta KNEES low! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but Yuta CHOPS!

Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall

Dax can’t believe it, but he just got suckered in! Yuta celebrates like he’s already won the title match, and Claudio is there to pat Yuta on the back. Will the Death Riders keep scoring as Claudio takes on Cope? Or can Rated FTR even things up before Dynasty? Dax argues with the ref, the ref says his decision stands. His count was the count, there’s nothing to it. But then Dax gets in the ref’s face?!? Security rushes in there, but Dax fights them!? They hold Dax down, but Cash YANKS them all off him! But then Dax SHOVES Cash?! Dax realizes what he did and he apologizes. Cash is stunned, but just what is going on with Dax’s emotional state?

Dax offers a hand, Cash slaps it away to get in Dax’s face! Dax says he’s sorry, it was a mistake, but then Cash storms off. Well, guess you can’t spell frustration without F T R. Will they be able to sort this out before arriving in Philadelphia?

 

Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.

Alicia Atout is with Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & Mother Shayna, and notes that just like last week, they’re here without any sign of Christian Cage. Just what is going on with The Patriarchy? But before anyone can speak up, The Cru barges in. Lio Rush asks Nick, “What’s up with your boy, Fox, man?” Nick says, “Huh?” Lio repeats himself, what’s up with his boy? Uh, his boy? Fox is far from Nick’s boy. Really? They know they’re history together. Didn’t Fox try to end Nick’s career? So Nick is just gonna chill back here while Fox is out there still breathing? Nick says okay, he gets what they’re up to here. Oh, really? And what’s that?

What The Cru is really doing is asking Nick for help, simply because they can’t get the job done. Oh, is that so? Nick doesn’t blame them for asking him. But Nick’s done with Fox, that is well in the past. Well Nick’s past is creeping up on their present, so for them, that’s an issue. Oh, is that really an issue? Kip has Nick calm down. These “gentlemen” surely didn’t come and interrupt them without a reason, so The Patriarchy should hear them out. AKA, get to the point. Lio says this is all they’re saying. Three of them, two of The Cru. But when the time is right, nobody knows Fox better than Nick Wayne. Just think on it.

The Cru heads out, but will The Patriarchy’s Prodigy take them up on the offer to team up?

 

Holo.grm VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!

The futuristic luchador’s undefeated streak continues, even as he joins Komander as a Titan of the Air. But while Hologram & Komander have settled things with La Faccion Ingobernable, this battle is about the Revolution Zero Hour last month. Will the Vanilla Babyface avenge that loss? Or will he just be number 22 on Hologram’s win streak?

The bell rings and the fans rally up. Hologram and Blake circle, approach, and then Blake slips past Hologram to strut. Blake then pie faces Hologram, talks some smack, and things speed up. Hologram RANAS, then hurdles, rolls, and pops Blake up. Blake RANAS back, then kips up! Blake runs up, but Hologram goes up and over. They both handspring, and Blake shadows Hologram. Blake chest bumps Hologram, then wheelbarrows, but Hologram rolls through to then step over, bridge back, but Blake turns that around on Hologram! Hologram keeps Blake away with boots, then rolls him up, ONE! DROPKICKS cancel out, both men kip up, and the fans fire up!

Blake mockingly applauds, but the fans rally behind Hologram. Blake offers a handshake, but then he SLAPS Hologram! The fans boo, Blake talks trash, and then Blake whips. Hologram handsprings, rolls, and SOBATS, KICKS, and CHOPS! The fans fire up as Blake flops back! Hologram builds speed, but Blake is up! Blake TOSSES Hologram out, then he builds speed. But Hologram ducks the slide! Blake runs up, Hologram sends Blake up to the apron! Blake mule kicks, but Hologram avoids the Quebrada! Hologram SUPERKICKS, then he goes to the apron! Blake avoids the leap, Hologram comes back, but Blake sends him into steel steps!

The fans boo while Hologram is down, but Collision goes to picture in picture.

Lee applauds Blake and Blake rolls into the ring. Blake distracts the ref so that Lee can stomp away on Hologram! Big Shotty gets away with that, and Blake waits on Hologram. Hologram rises, Blake builds speed, FOSBURY TOPE! Blake offers high-fives to the fans, but he leaves them all hanging. Blake drags Hologram up, puts him in the ring, then he stomps Hologram. Blake brings Hologram up, and he pulls at the mask! The ref reprimands, but Hologram KICKS Blake from below! Blake storms up to stomp Hologram again! Blake drags Hologram onto the ropes, CHOKES him, but stops as the ref counts.

Blake runs to STRADDLE ATTACK Hologram! Blake drags Hologram back up but Collision goes to break.

Collision returns and Blake has Hologram down with a motorcycle stretch. Hologram fights up as the fans rally, but Blake spins Hologram to keep the hold. But Hologram flips through, reels Blake in, NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Things speed up, and Hologram SHOTGUNS Blake first! Blake bails out, the fans fire up, and Hologram builds speed to DIVE! Lee takes the hit for Blake! The fans fire up, Hologram hurries to find Blake, but Blake kicks low! Blake drags Hologram up onto the barriers?! But Hologram fires body shots! And he RANAS Blake to the floor! Blake narrowly avoids hitting the steel steps and the fans fire up!

Hologram high-fives the front row, then stalks after Blake. Hologram goes up the steel steps, Lee storms up but Hologram mule kicks him! Blake jumps up to SPANISH FLY to the floor! Blake puts Hologram in, then springboards for a 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Hologram survives and Blake is frustrated! Blake slaps Hologram around, eggs him on, and then puts some stank on the- HEEL KICK from Hologram! Hologram fires up, he blocks Blake’s kick, but Blake SUPERKICKS from the other side! Blake whips, Hologram reverses, Blake rolls off the back, and he shoves Hologram to then SNAP POWERSLAM!

Blake somersaults to go to the ropes, LIONSAULT, but he has to bail out! Blake keeps running, Hologram gets him for a SPANISH FLY! Hologram fires up, torture racks Blake, but Blake slips free! Blake SWATS a lariat, ELBOWS Hologram, BODY BLOWS and BACKHANDS! SLING-DOG! Blake fires up, the fans boo, but Blake handsprings, into the torture rack! Airplane spin and PORTAL BOMB!! Cover, HOLOGRAM WINS!

Winner: Hologram, by pinfall

Vanilla Babyface was spicy, but Hologram comes out hotter! Will this 22-0 streak show Hologram is ready for a golden opportunity?

 

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Kris Statlander.

Lexy is now with La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest as she says we can officially announce they are also entering the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! Kris says that last year, she was a completely different person in a much different place. But she still had the same goals as she does today. “To every woman in this tournament, and to every woman in the locker room, you can’t stop Stat!” Rosa says, “Unless you face me.” Much respect to Kris, but like Rosa told Toni Storm, Rosa never lost the AEW Women’s World Championship, and she’s yet to wear one since. So believe her when she says this: She will scratch and claw harder than ever to have the Cup above her head.

Kris says, “Unless you face me.” Rosa says okay, mamacita. See you in the Owen. They each wish the other luck, and then head out. Will La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest battle to prove who is TRULY the best of the best?

 

Jamie Hayter VS Billie Starkz!

Hayter was preparing for Aminata, but it would seem Aminata’s loss to Hart has also lost her some time in the ring. But Billie is ready to step up to prove herself worthy of AEW’s bright lights! Will this be the start of Starkz’s legacy? Or will Hayter Hit Hard enough to be the number one seed in the Owen Hart Cup?

The bell rings and Billie circles with Hayter. Milwaukee cheers on Billie and Hayter encourages it. The two then tie up, and Hayter powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts, Hayter lets off with a pat on the shoulder, and Billie frowns. The two reset, tie up again, and Hayter again powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts again, and Hayter lets off with another pat on the shoulder. Billie frowns again, but the fans duel, “Let’s Go, Jamie!” “Billie Starkz!” They tie up, Hayter headlocks, and she grinds Billie down. Billie powers up and out, but Hayter runs Billie over! Things keep moving and Hayter runs Billie over again!

Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, but Billie is right up to stare Hayter down. The fans cheer, but Hayter pie faces Billie! Billie ROCKS Hayter! Billie whips, then follows, and she sunset flips over, TWO! Hayter gets up, Billie BUZZSAWS her down! The fans rally up, Billie whips Hayter but Hayter reverses. Hayter runs up, but into an ELBOW! Hayter comes back, but into a BOOT! Hayter is annoyed, she blocks boots this time but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! Billie goes up, up, but Hayter TOSSES Billie down! Billie writhes, rises, and Hayter is up the corner to MISSILE DROPKICK! Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Hayter stalks Billie, stomps her down, then stands on her! Billie endures until Hayter steps off, and then Hayter puts Billie on the ropes. Hayter CHOKES Billie, the ref counts, and Hayter steps off at 4. Hayter “apologizes” before she stalks Billie. Hayter drags Billie up, DDTS her by the ropes, then puts her back on the ropes. Hayter KNEE DROPS on Billie’s back, then KNEE DROPS again! And again! The ref reprimands but Hayter backs off. Hayter fires up the fans, then she goes back to kneel on Billie’s neck! The ref reprimands and counts, that’s not a cover! Hayter backs off, “apologizes” again, then has Billie in a corner.

Hayter smacks Billie off buckles, then runs her corner to corner to smack her off more buckles! Then Hayter goes to a third corner for buckle bumps! Hayter says let’s finish the set, and she runs Billie corner to corner for a buckle bump! Billie falls back, Hayter dusts her hands off, and then brings Billie up. But Billie WRINGS Hayter’s arm! And she SUPERKICKS Hayter down! Hayter staggers up, ducks the heel kick, and she shoves Billie for a SPINEBUSTER! Hayter then turns Billie over, HALF CRAB! Billie endures, reaches out for ropes, but Hayter sits deep on the hold! Billie reaches out, grits her teeth, and Collision returns to single picture.

Hayter tells Billie to just give up, but Billie refuses! The fans rally harder, and Billie powers up! Billie claws and crawls, to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Hayter lets go in frustration. Hayter runs, but Billie DUMPS her to the apron! Hayter swings, Billie ducks it to sweep the legs! SUPERKICK and Hayter goes to the floor! Billie builds speed and DIVES! Down goes Hayter at the ramp! Billie rises, the fans fire up, and Billie drags Hayter up and into the ring. Billie hurries up the corner while Hayter is down, SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO! Hayter stays in this and Billie is seeing what it is to be a former world champion.

Billie drags Hayter up, reels her in, and suplexes, only for Hayter to slip free! The fans duel while Hayter fireman’s carries, but Billie slips free to throw her down! Hayter gets up, DOUBLE FOREARMS from both women connect! DOUBLE ROUNDHOUSES connect, too! And then Hater SHOTGUNS Billie into a corner! The fans rally up harder while both women are down! Billie drags herself up with the ropes, Hayter rises at center. Hayter powers up, kisses the bicep, but Billie ducks the lariat to suplex! GHOSTBUSTER!! Cover, TWO!! Hayter survives and Billie is shocked! Billie seethes, and she storms up on Hayter!

Billie Electric Chair Lifts Hayter, but Hayter fires hands! Hayter shoves Billie away, fireman’s carries, and USHIGOROSHI! Hayter runs, and SLIDING HAYTERADE!! Cover, TWO!! Billie survives and now Hayter is frustrated! Hayter is seeing why Billie is the first and former ROH Women’s TV Champion. Hayter hauls Billie up, but Billie ducks the lariat! SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Billie powers up, runs, but Hayter follows to LARIAT at the ropes! Hayter runs, Billie follows, and Billie BOOTS Hayter at the ropes! Billie runs, but Hayter SUPERKICKS! And ENZIGIRIS! Billie winds up, but Hayter gets under! GERMAN SUPLEX!! Cover, TWO!!

The fans are thunderous while Hayter is beside herself. Hayter grits her teeth and vows to end it! Hayter throws off the armbands, drags Billie up to wind up and- NO, Billie ducks the lariat to cravat and KNEE SMASH, then HEEL KICK! Billie fires up, winds up, but Hayter ducks that shot! Billie tries again, but Hayter blocks it to a cording hold! Hayter brings Billie along as she goes to the ropes, SPRINGBOARD HAYTERADE!!! Cover, HAYTER WINS!

Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall

Now that was a Collision! Hayter is back, and she finds a new way to hit hard! Athena walks out on stage, and she waves hi to Hayter. Whether Billie impressed her or disappointed her, Athena now has her eyes on Hayter and everyone else in the Owen Hart Cup. Will the Fallen Goddess learn for herself that Hayter Hits Hard? Or will the Owen Hart Cup join the Athena World Domination Tour soon enough?


My Thoughts:

A very good Collision, talky as usual, but very good build towards Dynasty and the Owen Hart Cup simultaneously. Great opening promo from Toni, because she’s always great at promos, but they did a great job framing Ford’s blindside attack on Toni. And while Toni takes down Ford, Megan of course gets the last say on Toni. Toni is the underdog champion, knows she is, but knows she won’t let that stop her, and surely she comes out on top at Dynasty. Good promo from The Death Riders to hype up Dynamite. Claudio was very clever in using “Edge” and “Cope” in his part, and he will have a great match against Cope, but I would think Cope wins.

Marina had a great part calling out Willow, and that Mixed Tornado Tag will be awesome stuff. Dax VS Yuta was great, too, and real good win for Yuta. Dax losing his cool further waters the seed that is an FTR Heel Turn, but if this keeps up between Dax and Cash, could we end up with FTR VS FTR? That’d be rather wild, but it’d also make sense since FTR at some point said they were drawing closer to the end of their careers. A tag team like them, that has already done so much, having a 1v1 against each other is kinda the last thing to check off their bucket lists.

Great tag match from Bill & Keith VS Top Flight, one of the best Top Flight’s had in a minute since they’ve been going back and forth between AEW and ROH, but I figured Bill & Keith would win. They want their shot at The Hurt Syndicate, this gets them a step closer to that, and Top Flight still has The Cru after them anyway. I’m just not sure The Cru asking Nick Wayne to help out against Top Flight & AR Fox is the kind of story continuity they should be using right about now… Nick’s busy with this story against Christian Cage, he should focus on that. Unless the point is, if Patriarchy falls apart, Nick needs somewhere to go and someone to hand out with. But then The Cru is just three- Gasp! Cru-serweights…!

Great promo segment from Cole, Garcia and their friends, but uh, the announcement came in right as this segment started, so for us at home, it completely undercut how Garcia and Cole were building to making the No Time Limit title match. This is all still the right move, and Garcia telling Menard to stay away from ringside was a wild twist. Cole VS Garcia could be a borderline show stealer given how great their 20 minute draw was last time. And I still think that Cole should win the title, just so he finally has something in AEW aside from the tag title run alongside MJF. As for Garcia, losing the TNT title could be his opportunity to move on to another title, like the International or Continental Championship.

Hologram VS Blake was a rather random match to put on, but whatever, still great stuff. I wonder who finally pins/submits Hologram to end his win streak. It’d have to be someone that fans already have strong feelings for, good or bad. Like, Ospreay could get away being the guy that beats Hologram because it’s Ospreay. At the same time, MJF or Jericho could beat Hologram because not only do they have the power level, but fans love to hate them anyway so they’d love to hate MJF or Jericho as the guy who ended the streak.

And great stuff with the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, but also a build between Mercedes Mone and Athena. Mone of course beat Robyn Renegade, but she of course also had to talk trash on Billie & Athena. Athena finally being on AEW TV is great in itself, and she had a good promo with Billie to touch on the love-hate relationship between Minion Overlord and Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths that we’ve seen the past two years on ROH. Aminata going down with injury is a shame, and her promo with Deeb could’ve been a bit sharper on both ends. But Deeb naturally puts it on Aminata that Aminata needs to either join her or wrestle her, and I’m thinking we get the latter.

Good promo from Rosa and Statlander to not only add them to the Owen Hart Cup but to tease their match-up. Hayter VS Billie was a great main event, and it was another great showing for Billie in the loss. Athena confronting Hayter was also good stuff, and both Owen Hart Cups are looking to be the most star-studded ones yet. But as it stands, I’m thinking Rosa wins to get that world title match she has yet to get, and then we get Mone VS Athena for the TBS Championship, as teased tonight. All In: Texas will basically give both Rosa and Athena homefield advantage, and it’d be pretty wild if both of them won titles then.

My Score: 8.8/10
