It’s the WWE Evolution Kickoff Show!
Our commentary team for the night, Renee Young, Beth Phoenix and SmackDown GM Paige, are also our panel!
Charly Caruso leads the WWE Evolution Red Carpet!
And she’s currently joined by the Legit Boss, Sasha Banks, and The Goddess, Alexa Bliss. These staples of the Raw Women’s Division look wonderful as they prepare for their big matches. What is the significance of tonight? Alexa says this is proof that women can do anything. It started with the very first women’s match, and is now an all women’s PPV! Sasha says you can dream it up, but when it happens, it’s a dream come true. To be around all these other amazing women, Sasha cannot express all her gratitude and joy.
These two also made history with the first Women’s Match in Abu Dhabi. It was nerve wracking but it was awe-inspiring for the people to cheer “This is Hope!” It shows they’re making changes all over the world. That match was bigger than just wrestling. Women’s Wrestling is making changes and history, it means so much to show little girls that they can do it like the guys, but even better.
Red Carpet interview with Trish Stratus.
Can she put into words what tonight means to her? It’s very hard, she’s still pinching herself. Everything the women set out to do, this night brings it full circle for her. Her debut was here, and now she’s here at an event just for the women of wrestling. It means that it all made a difference. Did she ever expect this night? No, they were focused on baby steps. This is a huge step forward for a division that was under the radar for the longest time. The women kept the faith and now it’s grown into this global movement. And it means so much to her to side with Lita, her longest rival and friend. Their shared story also comes full circle as they give it their all, plus Mickie James, that energy will be great.
Carmella joins the panel!
The FABULOUS Princess looks 80’s fab and she’s so excited. The women on the panel, the women in the back, she’s so excited. Carmella’s own personal evolution from hair dresser to manager to former women’s champion is impressive in itself. She feels so fortunate to be part of another first-time-ever, she can’t help but smile.
Red Carpet interview with Natalya!
The Queen of Harts is ready for her Six Woman Tag, though she is overwhelmed and nervous. But all the superstars thrive on that feeling, because this moment is what everything has led to. She’s so grateful we’re here. How does she plan to deal with the Riott Squad? Ruby loves using number games, but the three former women’s champions all have plans to tap them out.
R-Truth joins the panel?
He says he talked to Paige in the back, even though she’s been out here the whole time, and says he’s got a spot in the Historic Battle Royal. Truth is honored to be part of such a big night, and vows to win that title shot against his good friend, Carmella. Carmella corrects him on all of that. Truth feels a little foolish, but promises to support Carmella i her efforts. Also, DANCE BREAK~!!
Red Carpet interview with Maria Menounos!
Maria believes the significance of tonight is honoring the past and celebrating the present, in all women’s sports. She reunited with the women from her ‘Mania match six years ago, and it was such a big moment to be even on a ‘Mania card. Now to have a whole card dedicated to women is amazing. Maria never thought this was coming, but always hoped it would. She had to be here to see it in person. And as a huge fan, what’s her most anticipated match? She can’t choose! They all deserve the spotlight. What about Ronda Rousey joining? She’s amazing, it’s been a great addition to it all.
Eve Torres joins the panel!
The “Disney Princess” is honored to be here sharing the moment. What does tonight mean as a former champion in her own right? “It’s a little unreal, to be honest.” Eve compares the Diva’s Era to this new era, and it seems so special to make up for all those raised hopes and then disappointments. She’s excited to see Ronda compete, and even Becky VS Charlotte. It’s all going to be stellar, everyone belongs here. What did hearing that announcement meant to the champions on this panel? Well it was something everyone wanted, worked for and expected, and now it’s here. It was vindication. But don’t discredit the men who stood by them, from coworkers, friends and husbands. This was a group effort and everyone got to have a sigh of relief when this was announced.
Stehpanie McMahon is on the Red Carpet!
The Raw Commissioner helped make this announcement, and is now feeling the goosebumps. It’s a women’s Wrestlemania tonight. She was part of the fight for this Women’s (R)Evolution, this must be a moment of satisfaction. Stephanie is so proud of all the current women, but knows that it was all the women all over the world in all the different promotions that made this possible. History is being made, and Stephanie gives her husband, Triple H “Paul”, is also a big part of training and acquiring the elite talent, both male and female, and working together equally with them. Women started stealing the show, and now women are the show! Stephanie hopes the world is blown away and left demanding more.
Nia Jax and Ata Johnson are on the Red Carpet!
The Irresistible Force helps her aunt celebrate her birthday, and now Nia will fight in the Historic Battle Royal. Nia hopes to make the entire family proud with a win tonight. Ata is so proud of both her nieces, Nia and Tamina, and is so excited to see this night. What would Nia say to future women wrestlers about what’s next? “Whatever we want.” The women are always innovating, and will continue to do that even tonight.
Ronda Rousey is on the Red Carpet!
The Baddest Woman on the Planet is also a best pal to The Queen of Spades, who challenges for the NXT Women’s Championship tonight. But there’s also camaraderie with all the women because this was a collective effort. “Making history” is used so much but this truly is worthy of those words. Ronda has butterflies right now, they’re growing. As a woman in sports, especially fight sports, what does this mean for gender equality? Ronda is looking forward to being a mother soon, and hopes that her daughters deal with less BS than she did, the same as her mom hoped Ronda dealt with less.
Now to Nikki Bella and the verbal jabs, what’s Ronda’s mindset? Because it’s gotten personal, the nicest thing to do would be to finish Nikki off quick. But given what Nikki’s said, Ronda won’t be so nice, she’ll make sure Nikki walks out looking different than how she walked in.
It’s time for a (R)Evolution
Divas became women. Inspiration spread and became courage and passion. Women competed in new places for the first time, and the chant was “This is Hope!” This was a childhood dream for each and every one. It didn’t start with just a few, it started with everyone. The dream was proving Women’s Wrestling was on par with the Men’s. The (R)Evolution is worldwide, and the (R)Evolution will be televised! This generation carries the torch from the previous, and is ready to pass it on to the next. Sugar, spice and everything nice, meet power, determination and fury. Past, Present and Future come together to prove that then, now and forever, Women’s Wrestling belongs.

The Baddest Woman on the Planet thought the Bella Twins were trustworthy. That the Bella Twins were respectful. And that the Bella Twins were her friends. But she was wrong.

Speaking of…

And lastly…
Ronda meets all the other WWE women on the stage to celebrate the entire night! Viva la Women’s Wrestling! Viva la Evolution!
My Thoughts:
There were many reasons to be worried about this PPV, that it could just end up a glorified episode of Raw or even SmackDown. After watching this event, I personally feel that all those worries were put to rest, because this was great! The Kickoff Show was fun, lots of great interviews, and R-Truth was classic. Then, much like an NXT TakeOver, it was very smart to start with a tag team match like Trish-Lita VS Foxy-Mickie. It was a good adjustment for Alexa Bliss to meddle, because it added to how great Trish & Lita came off. Those two could make a serious run again, as at least part-timers. Then the “Historic” Battle Royal was chaotic but in a good way, and far exceeded expectations. Nia winning can work as she and Ronda never had a clean finish, so a rematch from Money in the Bank is fine.
Of course, Asuka not winning should’ve been a sign to me that I wasn’t getting my Japanese Strong Style sweep. Toni Storm winning over Io Shirai was quite surprising, but it did work better for her overall story in the WWE. Toni already has the NXT UK Division, though, so this win will surely be spun into her placement in the NXT UK Women’s Championship picture. Io Shirai is still fine in losing, she has a lot to do in the American NXT. I was even more surprised that Shayna won, and with help from the other MMA Horsewomen. This does help establish Jessamyn and Marina in the eyes of the WWE Universe as a whole, and will definitely lead to a Women’s Championship story for NXT TakeOver: WarGames. I wonder if Kairi can get friends for a Women’s WarGames…
The Six Woman Tag was another of the dreaded matches, but wow did the match itself make up for a lot. The Riott Squad was definitely a well-oiled machine, but I’m thinking Natty, Bayley & Sasha going over was so fans could cheer the Faces. I’m just not sure where any of this is going as a story without tag titles. That Last Woman Standing had one odd element, and that was that any knockdown was counted. I don’t remember that being how Gargano VS Ciampa Last Man Standing being that way. But even so, this Last Woman Standing Match puts some previous Last Man Standing Matches to shame! Though, I will say Charlotte was dangerously close to Super Cena/Roman territory, but Becky winning was the right move. Now we freshen things up on SmackDown going into Survivor Series.
The Raw Women’s Championship match was a lot better than expected, too, and it was actually thanks to the Bella Twins working together like that. Ronda toying with Nikki was fun, too, but the heat really got good when Brie started getting involved. Ronda obviously still wins, because fans will want Nia VS Ronda 2 far more than Nikki Bella w/ Brie VS Anyone. Plus, Ronda winning truly establishes that this is no longer a Diva’s Era, but the Women’s (R)Evolution. I really hope that this PPV becomes an annual tradition, so long as it can maintain this level of entertainment. AKA, keep HHH booking things because I’m pretty sure he was a major part of things behind the scenes.
My Score: 9/10

Best of the Super Juniors 32 A Block: Master Wato VS Ninja Mack!
The Way of the Grandmaster lost to the Japanese Young Punk, but the American Ninja got sent back by the Time Splitter. Who will only continue to spiral while the other rises to 2-2?
The bell rings and the fans rally up. Mack offers a handshake, Wato takes it, and the fans applaud. The two circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. Wato’s slight height advantage helps, and he pushes Mack to a corner. Mack turns things around, the ref calls the break, and Mack lets go slowly, but with a big Ninja “OSU!” Wato is wary, but the fans rally with “NINJA! NINJA!” Mack and Wato tie up again, and Wato puts Mack in the corner this time. The ref counts, Wato lets off slowly, and he gives his own “Osu!” Mack applauds that, and the fans cheer for “WATO! WATO!” Mack is surprised, but he and Wato reset.

The ninjas turn to see each other with their own eyes! The fans rally as Wato and Mack circle the outside, then step into the ring. Mack asks, “Naze?

Mack flails, reaches out, moves around, breaks fere, but Wato uses a rolling cradle! VENDEVAL!! Mack TAPS, Wato wins!!
Winner: Master Wato, by submission (gains 2 points; Mack earns 0)
Just as waves break on the shore, Wato breaks even with this win! But can Wato continue to turn the tide and rise to the top? Will Ninja Mack still have a chance though he is 1-3?
Best of the Super Juniors 32 B Block: Ryusuke Taguchi VS YOH!
The Funky Weapon outsmarted Sho and the House of Torture while Direct Drive grounded The Jet. But will Taguchi play it serious with Yoh? Or are things about to get stranger and stranger?
The bell rings and Taguchi runs up to HIP ATTACK! And then HIP ATTACK in the corner! Taguchi whips, Yoh reverses, but Taguchi BOOTS him! Taguchi goes up to headscissors for DEADLY BUTT SHADE! Yoh wobbles and falls back, and Taguchi shouts out Tomoaki Honma! Taguchi runs, wiggles, and KOKESHI! The fans fire up and Yoh spasms!

Winner: Ryusuke Taguchi, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Yoh earns 0)
That indeed was very strange, but it was oddly exciting, too! Taguchi scores big on the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion, but will he keep going until he has the trophy in hand? Will Yoh be able to stay fresh despite dropping to 1-3?
Best of the Super Juniors 32 A Block: Francesco Akira VS Yoshinobu Kanemaru!
The Crown of Fire burns bright after the huge main event win over Hiromu Takahashi last night. However, you can never count the Heel Master out, even if he is 1-2. Will Kanemaru be able to cheat his way to redemption? Or will he not be able to handle this Fireball?

Backstage interview with Paragon.
Lexy Nair is with Kyle O’Reilly, Roderick Strong and the AEW TNT Champion, Adam Cole. Lexy brings up Cole’s “target on his back,” and Cole says that’s how it is when you’re a champion. A lot of people want their shot, but that’s how he likes it. He is Adam Cole Baybay, so he is ready to take on anyone and everyone who wants their shot. But then in step the Grizzled Young Veterans. Zack Gibson says it is ironic that the very top stars this business has ever produced are really just three babies. Kyle says cool it right there, pal! Kyle admits, he can be juvenile and immature, maybe young at heart, but he is not some baby.
James Drake says this is Paragon’s real problem: All heart, all jokes, but they’ve gone soft. Roddy shouts, “GRIZZLED~! Young Veterans… I like the scarves, guys. But fellas, you know what I’d like more? To beat their asses.” Gibson says next week, GYV VS Kyle & Roddy, and Gibson warns them right now, the Paragon will be dragged into the deep water. And when they’re down there, gasping for air, then they’ll see if there’s an ounce of fight left in Paragon. Drake says he wants Cole on commentary so we can hear his heart break as everyone sees the best team is GYV. Cole says if GYV wants to be one of the best tag teams in AEW, they’ve gotta earn it.
But trust Cole when he says the pressure isn’t on them, it’s all on GYV. Paragon heads out, who will crack under said pressure when these teams finally have it out?
“Speedball” Mike Bailey VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!
While Speedball wants after the Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada doesn’t want anything to do with Speedball. But can Bailey force his hand by stacking up wins toward a title opportunity? Or will the Vanilla Babyface sour everything for everyone?

Bailey survives but he still clutches his gut. Blake drags Bailey up, ELBOWS him in the head, then ELBOWS him again. Blake pushes Bailey onto ropes, CHOKES him, but steps off at 4.

Winner: “Speedball” Mike Bailey, by pinfall
That was a knockout shot from Speedball! He grabs a mic to tell Chicago, “We’ve got some beautiful weather here tonight. So Okada, how about you come out here, you bring your Continental Championship, and we make it rain?” The fans cheer, and Okada does appear! Okada walks out with mic in hand to say, “Bailey… I’ll prove it. B*TCH!!” The fans fire up, but wait! DRALISTICO ATTACKS! Rush is also here! LFI is doing Okada’s bidding, and El Toro Blanco tells Okada to watch himself. HEADBUTT for Bailey! Okada shrugs and leaves, but is the line of contenders growing longer the longer Okada keeps ducking them?
Jon Moxley speaks.
“What was it that I don’t understand? What is it that I don’t understand about a steel cage match? What is it that I don’t understand about a world championship? It looks like YOU and everybody else are the ones who don’t understand. You don’t understand that you can’t break somebody who has been broken over and over and over and built himself back up over and over and over. I cannot be broken. I am made of something stronger than iron, stronger than steel, stronger than gold that everybody wraps around their waists, and walks around, they put it over their shoulder, and they hold it up and they take pictures with it because they think that makes them somebody!!
“What don’t I understand, man? Anarchy would be an improvement over this FAKE, FOOLISH SH*T! Everybody pretending they’re somebody they’re not! Complete and total anarchy would be a step up. You don’t get it, you don’t understand. Gabe Kidd, he works for me. Professionals work for me. The difference between professionals and all these AMATEURS is that professionals hold standards. It doesn’t matter if it’s a steel cage, it doesn’t matter if it’s the baddest man in all of professional wrestling, they get the job done. No matter what the odds, no matter what the obstacles, they don’t give a damn what anybody says or what anybody thinks!
“We are professionals, and we have standards! And we are the best at what we do!! The art of violence on the canvas that we paint defines you, and you find out EXACTLY who you are.” Gabe Kidd says, “Abandon all hope!” Will the Maniac and the Mad Man make sure no one else brings about this Paradigm Shift?
Chicago Street Fight: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith VS The Gates of Agony!
Speaking of violence, the Redwood & Bad Apple are done going easy, but the feeling is mutual for Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona! There are no more rules but plenty of weapons, who will survive this Collision?
As Bill & Keith make their entrance, Keith already brings a pool cue and some kind of panel, and Bill brings a table out from under the ring! Chicago already likes where this is going as the table is propped up in a corner. Kaun & Liona make sure to bring trash cans full of plunder, as well as their own pool cue and… a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire! Bill & Keith rush them at the ramp, the bell rings, and Liona JAMS Bill with the bat!! Keith and Kaun brawl, Liona CLUBS Bill with the bat, and then Kaun use a wet floor sign to SMACK Keith! Kaun brings the trashcan over, SMACKS Keith with a road sign, but Keith CLAWS Kaun’s eyes!
Bill SMACKS Liona with a trash can! But Liona CLUBS him with the bad again! And even in the leg! Keith uses that street sign to SMACK Kaun now! Bill SMACKS Liona with the pool cue! Bill whips Liona into the steel steps hard! The steps go sliding, Kaun fights back on Keith, but Bill BOOTS Kaun! Bill SMACKS Keith with the street sign, and SMACKS him again!

Bill puts Kaun in the ring, then runs to SPLASH him in the corner! The fans fire up for Bill as he and Keith coordinate.
Bill runs in again, but Kaun dodges, and Kaun SPEARS Keith through the table!! Bill is stunned, but here comes Liona! Liona and Bill step up, and Bill KNEES low! Bill CLUBS Liona, Liona KNEES Bill! Liona CLUBS Bill, Bill KNEES and CLUBS Liona! “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” echoes out but Liona grabs a pool cue! Liona BREAKS it on his head, and then throws Bill half! Bill is stunned but decides to grab his end. Liona CLUB S Bill, Bill CLUBS Liona, repeat! Bill BEATS Liona, then he blocks the shot! Liona blocks back! Both men throw the sticks aside and get face to face! Then they start throwing haymakers!
The fans rally for the “MEAT!” as the hands keep going! Both men RAM shoulders! And RAM AGAIN! Liona runs, ducks ‘n’ dodges, and he RAMS Bill! Bill staggers, but Kaun sib ack!

Kaun has a trash can, and he SMASHES it on Bill’s head! And then SMASHES him again! Bill falls in a heap and Kaun sees Liona has Keith. Liona smothers Keith, then whips him hard into the steel steps!

Liona SMACKS away on Bill’s leg while Kaun CHOKES Keith with a pool cue! Kaun then shoves Keith into the ring and Liona joins him. They drag Keith up, put him in the Tree of Woe, and then add a trashcan to the mix! Liona rallies the fans as Beach Break returns to single picture. Liona runs to RAM the can! Kaun adds a DROPKICK! The Gates drag Keith out of the Tree but into the drop zone, BANZAI DROP! Cover, BILL BREAKS IT!
Bill fires hands on Kaun and LARIATS him out of the ring! The fans fire up and Bill storms out after Kaun. Bill brings Kaun to the double tables Liona set up earlier, and he RAMS Kaun into railing. Bill ROCKS Kaun, then picks up that backpack he had earlier… Bill grins and opens the backpack up. Bill dumps out BRICKS! Just like he did to Hobbs months ago! Bill has a brick, and he stands Kaun up! Bill gives Kaun his last rites, then swings! Kaun ducks, and brick shatters against POST! Bill shakes out his hand, Kaun CLOBBERS Bill with a monitor!! Liona POUNCES Bill onto the commentary desk!! The fans fire up while Nigel & Schiavone have to scramble!

Then he hoists Keith up onto the barriers. The fans rally as Liona gets space. Liona runs back in, but Keith HEADSHOTS him with the lid! Liona just roars!

The Learning Tree’s Branches just broke through the Gates of Agony and are standing tall in the Windy City! But will this be enough to earn Chris Jericho’s respect?
Mina Shirakawa speaks.
“Toni Storm. The first time we met, we were distracted. We wanted attention, we got jealous, and then we both made mistakes. When I saw you in Japan, we tamed, we danced, and we laughed. But this time, it’s different. It’s just me and you. I don’t need your wrath, I need your title. You are everything a champion should be. But so is Mina! I did everything in Japan! Now I will do everything in AEW! Toni is Timeless, but Mina is Now!” Then will the Fighting Gravure Idol not just be the next, but the NOW AEW Women’s World Champion?
Tony Schiavone is on stage.
He says here in Chicago, we’ve heard the chant of “MONGO! MONGO!” and it is time to pay tribute to one of the great football players, one of the great pro-wrestlers, the late, great Steve McMichael! The fans cheer that, and we are joined by his widow, Misty McMichael, and she is happy to be here. Steve was the greatest man she’s ever known, made a special impact on both football and wrestling. They were together 27 years in all, and she is so happy to pay tribute. And then we get Dean Malenko! The fans cheer and Dean waves.
Schiavone brings up Mongo being a four-time All Pro, two-time Pro Bowl selection, and part of the Chicago Bears’ Super Bowl 20 winning team, and was even inducted into the NFL Pro-Football Hall of Fame last year. The fans cheer, and Schiavone says Mongo exemplified the fighting spirit and determination of all great Chicago athletes. Plus, in this very building, Mongo coached the Chicago Slaughter to an undefeated season in Arena Football! The fans cheer that, and Schiavone says as a wrestler, Mongo was one of the Four Horsemen, and even became a United States Heavyweight Champion.
May is ALS Awareness, so in partnership with the Les Turner Foundation, AEW wants to help find a cure for ALS. Go to LesTurnerALS.org to learn more. Schiavone now welcomes out the Nature Boy, RIC FLAIR! The fans cheer and “WOO~” as THE Horseman of Horseman makes his way out here to honor his friend. Ric hugs Misty, hugs Dean, and joins Schiavone. Schiavone says they’ve held together like this many times over the years, but tonight is the most special and most emotional. Ric agrees. He wants to say Chicago is one of the greatest wrestling towns in the world.
Ric once coined the phrase, “To be the man, you gotta beat the man.” And Steve McMichael was more man than anyone he’s ever known! Mongo fought ALS for six YEARS! Fully aware of everything around him, yet unable to move. That massive 280 pound man finally made it to the Hall of Fame, and is now up there in Heaven, God bless him and God bless you all. Ric says he cannot say enough about Misty. She never left Mongo’s side. She learned how to be a wonderful nurse. The fans cheer on Mongo, and Ric thanks them for that. Ric thanks everyone for being here, and Schiavone thanks Ric for being here. #ThankYouMongo, we will miss you.

Dustin Rhodes & Sammy Guevara may be the ROH World Tag Team Champions, but that doesn’t mean they’re just going to stop. But Lio Rush pointed out that he and Bobby Lashley have history that needs to be sorted out. Will the Man of the Hour and Action Andretti be a sight to see?

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the Galaxy’s Greatest, and brings up how last week, Kris won over Willow Nightingale, but not without help from the Death Riders. Speaking of Willow, she storms in and asks if Kris has something to say. Is Kris sorry again? Yes, actually! Is she gonna claim she didn’t see Marina Shafir choke Willow out? No, of course she didn’t! Willow says save the excuses. Kris and Yuta used to be Best Friends! Yeah, well now they’re not! Willow and Kris shout over each other, but Willow says she is too busy with the Death Riders. Willow pulls Kris’ hair to get her to stop, but Kris says when Willow is ready, she knows where to find Kris.
The two storm off in opposite directions, and clearly the tension has only mounted between them. What will it take for the former friends to be friends again?

“Powerhouse” Will Hobbs VS Wheeler Yuta!
The Steel Cage main event for Dynamite was brutal, and naturally both The Opps and the Death Riders got involved. Anarchy in the Arena awaits, but will Hobbs and Yuta still be part of it? Or will one of them take out the other with extreme prejudice?
While Hobbs is on the corner as part of his entrance, Yuta attacks! The bell rings while the fans boo, and the ref reprimands Yuta for the sneak attack. Yuta doesn’t care as he CLUBS away on Hobbs! But wait, Hobbs isn’t even bothered. The fans tell Yuta he messed up, but then Yuta SLAPS Hobbs! Talk about double or nothing… Hobbs chases Yuta around the outside, then back into the ring. Yuta CLUBS away on Hobbs, but Hobbs grabs him with both hands! Yuta slips free, goes to the apron, and he HOTSHOTS Hobbs! Yuta runs in again, but Hobbs CLOBBERS him! The fans cheer while Hobbs snarls.

As for Willow & Hobbs, they stand tall. With just over a week left, will these powerhouses be obvious choices for Anarchy in the Arena?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision that only suffered from TNT and/or MAX having broadcasting problems. Not sure why it happened, but this isn’t the first time a prerecorded Collision has been messed up on some level. Are they just putting interns and amateurs behind the desk on these episodes? Thankfully when some technology fails, other technology is there to make up for it. Ironically, that loving tribute to Steve McMichael was a great place to end any broadcast, and what a great surprise for Ric Flair to show up.
Megan VS Anna was a very good opener, and that buckle spot was a very clever way for Ford to factor into the finish. Megan was of course going to win, though, and she stays strong and undefeated while waiting on a title shot. Good promo from Mina to hype up her shot at Toni, and Mina will have a great match with Julia Hart next Wednesday. Great stuff from The Don Callis Family tonight, from Kyle VS Fox to the Six Man Tag. Great win for Kyle to keep him sharp while waiting on title stories, but also good win for the Faces. The Outrunners coming to help after was also very fitting, I wonder if we’ll get a 10 Man of Bandido, Brody, Ishii & Outrunners VS Kyle, Konosuke, Alexander and RPG Vice. That’s at least a solid Buy-In match.
Very good stuff with Bailey VS Blake but Bailey of course won. Bailey calling out Okada was great, and of course Okada insults Bailey rather than fight him. LFI attacking Bailey was a nice surprise, and while Dralistico might want another match with Bailey, I think it’s time we get Bailey VS Rush, and then the winner of that can challenge Okada for the Continental Championship. Story wise, Okada VS Bailey makes sense, but Okada VS Rush is just awesome to think about. The Chicago Street Fight was very good, and I appreciate even Chicago likes Big Bill. Bill & Keith winning is great for them, and can certainly feed into Jericho’s return and how Jericho still won’t respect his Branches. Then we get Bill VS Jericho, and Learning Tree splits up.
Good promo from The Paragon with GYV, and we’ll get a great match of GYV VS Roddy & Kyle. Cole bringing up his TNT Championship but then not setting up a challenger is odd, but I think it has to do with Sammy Guevara taking his detour into this tag title story. CRU VS Sons of Texas was great, but as I was saying for Dynamite, Sons of Texas winning was just a given. Very good promo from Willow and Kris, great match of Yuta VS Hobbs, and great win for Hobbs. Hobbs & Willow running off Yuta & Marina was good stuff, I wonder if they fit in a Mixed Tag before Anarchy in the Arena as a sampler of what we could get for Double or Nothing, Willow beating up Yuta while Marina tries to choke out Hobbs.
