Nick Aldis joins ROH commentary!

The NWA Worlds Heavyweight Champion, and the lovely Kamille, are on ROH TV to welcome us all to tonight’s broadcast. The National Treasure introduces Kamille but skips explaining her role.

 

PJ Black VS Juice Robinson!

The Darewolf is on track for an NWA Worlds Heavyweight Championship match against Nick Aldis, but he makes his ROH TV debut here in Philadelphia! However, the Flamboyant One makes his return to ROH in search for more gold! Who makes a major impact in the ECW Arena with the National Treasure watching on commentary?

The Code of Honor is NOT upheld as PJ CHOPS Juice! Juice CHOPS back and we have a chop fight! Juice chops, PJ chops, repeat! PJ gets a headlock but Juice powers out. Things speed up and Juice blocks the hip toss. PJ blocks it back and sweeps the legs. Cover, ONE, so PJ sweeps the legs again for a double stomp! PJ poses and dabs, but Juice hits those jabs! Fans chant “Juice! Juice!” with each hit. PJ drops down and wants a time out! PJ bails out of the ring but Juice doesn’t give him that time out, he slingshots to plancha! Direct hit takes PJ down and fans fire up with Juice.

Juice drags PJ up and into the ring but PJ gets to a far corner. Juice runs in for a big corner clothesline! PJ sits down so Juice goes corner to corner, only for PJ to somersault headbutt! Rolling sabat kick takes Juice down! The Darewolf drops stomps as we go to break.

ROH returns as PJ climbs up. PJ leaps for big double stomps on a standing Juice! Cover, TWO! PJ argues the count but has to accept it. He drags Juice up for a wheelbarrow victory roll into the leg hooks. PJ grabs at the arms, and gets Juice up for the swinging Mexican surfboard! He adds insult to injury as he bops Juice’s head on the buckles. PJ stops at 4 as he simply drops Juice down. PJ stomps Juice out of the ring, then drops ax handles from the apron. Juice staggers but PJ follows to throw haymakers and a CHOP! PJ drags Juice up and into the ring and brings him up. Fans rally as PJ hits a snap suplex, and rolls through into the modified armbar. Juice gets a ropebreak but PJ lets go right at 4.

PJ drags Juice up again for a back suplex! He rolls through to roll Juice around to another armlock. PJ tortures Juice with the bend of the fingers. Fans rally up and Juice feeds off the energy to fight his way back up. Juice spins it around but PJ spins it back. PJ wants a backslide but Juice counters to his own, TWO! PJ clobbers Juice with a clothesline! Fans boo as PJ flexes on Juice. PJ grinds Juice down with a boot at the ropes, but lets up at 4. He climbs up top and gets the fans going before dropping the elbow! He keeps moving to the opposite corner and climbs back up. Juice stands and PJ takes aim for the flying forearm! Cover, TWO! PJ grows frustrated but he drags Juice up. Juice hits back with a headbutt but PJ elbows him back down.

PJ whips Juice to a corner and hits a corner splash. Juice staggers out and PJ springboards, but into Juice’s belly2belly! Fans fire up for Juice as he aims and runs in. Juice hits a big corner clothesline, whips PJ corner to corner, then hits another clothesline! Juice keeps going and hits PJ with a leaping lariat! Fans fire up again as Juice waits for PJ to stand. Juice goes to kick but PJ ducks it, only to get the spinebuster! Aldis likes what he sees as Juice stalks PJ. PJ staggers up, Juice fireman’s carry, gutbuster drop! Cover, TWO!! PJ lives and Juice can’t believe it.

Juice brings PJ up into the double chicken wings. Juice spins PJ around but PJ pushes out of the Pulp Friction. PJ runs into an elbow but he stops Juice up top! SUPER STEINER! PJ hops up, top rope asai! Cover, TWO! Juice lives and PJ grows frustrated. PJ grits his teeth as he waits for Juice to stand. PJ throws hands but Juice throws those jabs! They go back and forth, PJ hitting Juice but Juice hitting PJ. PJ hits kicks but Juice gets more jabs, and the Left Hand of God! Juice calls for it, and he runs corner to corner to hit PJ with a cannonball! Fans fire up again as Juice climbs up top. PJ stands up and throws the referee into Juice! The referee knows PJ did that on purpose, and rings the bell!

Winner: Juice Robinson, by disqualification

Philly boos at PJ while he tries to reason with the referee. But PJ still loses, so he decks the ref! Fans and commentary are upset with PJ, but if this is what PJ had to do against Juice, how is he supposed to beat Aldis? Aldis says as much as PJ comes over to talk trash to him. Kamille stands in PJ’s way, and PJ backs off. The NWA Worlds Championship will be defended on ROH TV in a few weeks, but will it be the Darewolf meeting the National Treasure? Or will someone more deserving be found?

 

ROH returns and Juice Robinson is still in the ring.

The Flamboyant One has a mic, and he knows one thing. He didn’t come all the way to Philadelphia to win via DQ! This is about honor, blood and sweat. They shake hands then beat each other down to see who the better wrestler is. Juice promises there’s going to be a big change for him, and first among them, he’ll be in ROH a lot more often! 2019 is gonna have new life breathed into ROH. And Juice promises that everyone will be happy about it!

 

The Kingdom speaks.

TK O’Ryan gives Marty Scurll credit. Marty had more friends than anyone thought. Just when they thought they had The Villain beat, he had something up his sleeve. And now he’s formed and “Enterprise”. But there are no enterprises in the Kingdom. Hasn’t Melvin Scurll seen what they do to new kids in the locker room? Matt Taven sees Scurll is just as bad as Jay Lethal in claiming to be something he’s not. Lethal’s not the real champion, Taven is because “III’M Matt Taven!” Vinnie Marseglia sees PCO, “The Monster”, the man who’s not human. But Vinnie’s seen PCO bleed. “Welcome to ROH.”

 

Shane Taylor VS Mike Law!

The Notorious Hitman returns from a tour of the United Kingdom as mad as ever. He was last on ROH TV attacking Christopher Daniels and ripping up Daniels’ new contract! Will trying to end the Fallen Angel’s career only doom his own? Or is he going to be the reason we never see Daniels in ROH again?

Taylor does not uphold the Code of Honor, and he even spits on Law’s hand! The bell rings and Taylor hits the One Hitter Quitter immediately!! Law is down and out but Taylor doesn’t end there. He gives Law Greetings from 216! Cover, Taylor wins!

Winner: Shane Taylor, by pinfall

Taylor fought the Law and the Law lost! He kicks Mike out of the ring as he grabs a mic to speak. “Everybody’s been wondering who paid me to take out Christopher Daniels.” Who hated Daniels that much to have the baddest man in ROH go after him? But the Hitman lets us all know, “Nobody paid me to take out Christopher Daniels! I decided to take out Christopher Daniels!” He did that to get Daniels out of ROH. “And I’m just getting started.” With Taylor calling his own shots, who will he take out in the coming weeks?

 

ROH returns and Colt Cabana is in the ring.

Cabana is honored to introduce “a man with an unbelievable victory at Final Battle 2018,” Flip Gordon! The Captain of Flip Army returns to ROH TV after his incredible win over Bully Ray in an I Quit Match! Flip also has a shot at the ROH World Championship in his back pocket, and he’s feeling great. Final Battle 2018 will go down in history as the night Flip got Bully to say “I Quit” in the Hammerstein Ballroom, after months of them fighting tooth and nail. Flip closes the book on Bully, but now 2019 is here, where is Flip going in this New Year? “For the past eight months, I was dealing with a bully. And at Final Battle, I made him quit. Mission: accomplished.” But now, Flip has that next mission: going after the ROH WHC! But wait, here comes Kenny King!

The K I N G figures this is what the “new ROH” is. Mediocre dude after mediocre dude all come out and cry about wanting to be champion. Flip, Scurll, even Dalton Castle, they can take their championship shots and put them next to the Philadelphia Eagles’ shot at the Super Bowl. In other words, in the garbage! Because if people don’t know or are just slow, the Pretty Boy Pitbull Kenny King pinned Jay Lethal. King has the footage, so roll it. Of course, the footage is cropped so we don’t see King’s feet on the ropes. Even the other angles are cropped! King insists he did it fair and square but we all know better.

King wants Flip to know this: he pinned Lethal. Flip can see that this is about the whole world watching King pin Lethal. But King gets screwed out of his shot while Flip wants his? No. King knows Flip’s phony, homie. The last time Flip was in Philly, he was crawling and crying from getting smacked by a kendo stick. The fans are fooled, thinking Flip is an American Hero, but everyone knows that when it comes to them, King is tougher, more athletic and the K I N G. Flip is just “some punk-ass weekend warrior”. King drops the mic but he himself is ignoring the facts. Will Flip make King face the truth on his road to the world title?

 

ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships: The Kingdom VS Villain Enterprises!

Matt Taven, TK O’Ryan and Vinnie Marseglia gave the White Bull, Rush, one hell of a “welcome” in the ROH TV debut of the CMLL star. And when they tried to pick on The Villain, the Villain revealed he brought some new friends with him. With the titles on the line, will The Kingdom give Marty Scurll, PCO and Brody King the same “welcome”? Or will they have to say good-bye to those cherished tag titles?

But as The Kingdom comes out, Taven asks Villain Enterprises a question: Why do they deserve a shot at the trios titles? What have they even done to earn these?! They haven’t done a thing together yet they get a shot at The Kingdom? ROH doesn’t work like that, you’ve gotta earn your shot at the titles, just like they did. That’s why Taven can call himself “The Real” ROH World Champion! Oh but don’t worry, Taven will give them the chance to prove themselves, the chance to climb the ladder, and maybe one day they’ll have a title shot. The Kingdom put together a team of indestructible and undefeated men for them to face instead. Taven’s speaking of… Shinobi Shadow Squad!

The trio of Cheeseburger, Eli Isom & Ryan Nova are undefeated, on the Future of Honor Fridays edition, via Honor Club. Will 3S defeat Villain Enterprises to take that opportunity for their own? Or are Villain Enterprises going to win at The Kingdom’s game?

Villain Enterprises VS Shinobi Shadow Squad!

Scurll, PCO and Brody wanted after The Kingdom, so they take their frustrations out on the ninja! A blindside attack turns into a bunch of mudhole stomps! Scurll scoop slams Burger, Brody CHOPS Isom and PCO CHOPS Nova. Scurll whips Burger into barriers while Brody CHOPS Isom again! Fans fire up with Scurll as he puts Burger in the ring. Brody and PCO keep throwing hands on Isom and Nova while we go to break.

ROH returns and things have finally calmed down. Isom actually has control of Scurll with a series of forearms. Isom runs but into Brody’s knee! Scurll tags PCO and PCO goes right at Isom with a CHOP! PCO scoops Isom for a Michinoku Driver, then tags in Brody. Villain Enterprises mugs Isom, then Brody scoop slams Isom. Big back senton and cover, TWO! Brody keeps on Isom and rocks him with a forearm. Brody CHOPS Isom in the corner, then drags him back up for another! Isom falls over again and Brody just stands on him for a cover. TWO, but Brody shows no mercy as he decks Isom again. Brody runs and sentons into Isom on the ropes! Cover, TWO! Isom survives but Brody’s back on him with another CHOP!

Brody whips but Isom dodges the clothesline to get a full nelson. Brody breaks free but Isom gets him in a German Suplex! Both men are down but Philly fires up! Isom and Brody crawl, hot tag to Scurll and Burger! Burger rallies on Scurll then hits a back elbow in the corner. Burger whips but Scurll reverses, only to run into a drop toehold! Scurll’s down, Burger springboards for a senton! Cover, but PCO breaks it! PCO glares at Burger but Burger gives him forearms! They don’t do a thing to PCO, because he’s not human! Burger runs but PCO runs him over! PCO drags Scurll over to their corner and tags in. PCO goes after Burger with a grip to the neck. Burger endures the double nerve hold, but then PCO slams him down!

Burger crawls to a corner but PCO runs in, only to miss! Hot tag to Nova! Nova rallies on Villain Enterprises, but again the forearms do not affect PCO. PCO whips Nova but Nova dodges and rolls off the back. Nova hits a big knee but PCO stays up. Nova runs but gets clobbered! Burger jumps onto PCO with a sleeper hold! Scurll returns but Isom SUPERKICKS him out! Brody returns but Isom dropkicks his legs out. Isom helps Burger as he SUPERKICKS PCO. But PCO doesn’t flinch so Isom SUPERKICKS again. Isom tries again, a third SUPERKICK sends PCO and Burger into buckles. PCO is free and he runs Isom over! Villain Enterprises has control as we take one last break.

ROH returns once more, and Brody chops Nova and then chops Burger. Brody throws Burger to the apron, but then Burger dumps Brody out. Burger and his Shinobi regroup. They build speed, Isom and Nova DIVE! But Brody and PCO catch them! Burger slingshots out but Scurll hits him with a knee! Scurll scoops Burger, and in synch with Brody and PCO, Tombstone and Double APRON Choke Slams! Villain Enterprises put Nova in the ring and PCO gives Nova a buckle bomb! PCO whips Nova for a Pop-Up Bomb, then sits him up. Scurll SUPERKICKS, PCO hits a running knee, and Brody adds the Canadian rack, to Gonzo Bomb! PCO climbs, PCO-Sault! Cover, Villain Enterprises wins!

Winners: Villain Enterprises, PCO pinning

It wasn’t the title match they were granted, but this was still a successful in-ring debut! With Villain Enterprises truly established in the ROH Six Man Tag Division, will they climb the ladder quickly and get that shot at The Kingdom? Or will Taven and his team find a way to keep their thrones?

 

Bully Ray speaks.

With footage from his I Quit Match replaying, with Flip going off with two kendo sticks, and with a microphone in his face, Bully gave up. Bully pours fuel on a flame as he brings up that he never said the words “I Quit”. Is this a technicality? Or an excuse?

 

The pulse quickens.

“A new beginning from an old foundation. ROH begins anew.” What will this Revitalization of Honor mean in 2019?

WWE celebrates Veterans Day.

Today, we honor the valor, courage and sacrifice of our United States Military. The sacrifices they gave to protect our freedoms and safeguard our future. We are forever grateful and humbled by their service. Today, we remember and say thanks.

 

Gunther is here!

Grand Rapids is a bit turn seeing Der Ring General head to the ring, World Heavyweight Championship around his waist. Gunther may not be Crown Jewel Champion, but he must still defend his world title at Survivor Series in Vancouver. The fans are torn again between cheers and jeers as Gunther grabs a mic. The fans remind him he lost to Cody, but Gunther starts by saying, “All that matters is, is that I am still the World Heavyweight Champion!” Gunther says he does not live in the past, but he looks to what is in front of him. And next is his challenger, Damian Priest.

There are a lot of things Gunther has to say about Damian Priest. But wait, here comes the man himself! The fans all fire up as The Punisher heads right to the ring, grabs himself a mic, and soaks up the cheering. Priest then tells Gunther not to look surprised. It was advertised to the world that Gunther would talk about Priest, so just say it all to his face. The fans cheer that! Gunther says honestly, look at Priest! His attitude! Priest is and always- Oh, let’s guess: Priest is street trash. He’s a thug, a bum, his parents didn’t care enough to raise him right. He had to scratch and claw and fight just to get here, but Gunther just waited on a phone call.

Priest asks if that covers all the insults. Because what Priests sees is that the first time the two went around, Priest understood the vibe, he got why we feared the unbeatable killer. And for the first time in Priest’s career, he felt doubt. He didn’t know if he could beat Gunther. It sucks to admit that, but it’s the truth. And yet, if not Priest’s so-called brother, that title wouldn’t be around Gunther’s waist. And in fact, the wildest thing about SummerSlam was, when it was over, Gunther becoming champion, his vibe started to fade. Priest sees it now. It faded because Gunther started doubting himself!

Oh, no? That’s not what it is? Gunther was just in Saudi, and the vibe faded more because he got beat by Cody Rhodes. The fans cheer for Priest and Cody while Gunther gets heated. This is what Priest means! Gunther can’t even talk now because he’s full of doubt! Let’s be real. The way Gunther feels now, let’s say why. It’s because Gunther knows he can’t beat Priest! And we know this, we know the killer is dead, is because Gunther would’ve taken a swing by now. Priest offers Gunther to take a swing now. The fans don’t wanna wait, right? The fans fire up for that! Gunther paces but Priest says he won’t take a shot.

Because if Gunther did, Priest would drop his ass right now. The fans fire up but here comes Ludwig Kaiser! He asks what is even going on here! Kaiser tells Priest, “What’re you doing here? Out of everyone in this building, it is you doubting the Ring General?” Does Kaiser have to remind Priest that Gunther beat him once already? Kaiser will give Priest some advice: Get out of this ring right now and save yourself, because the second time Priest faces Gunther, the result will be the same! Gunther will beat him again, because Priest is not even worthy- Gunther stops Kaiser from talking! Gunther tells Kaiser that HE is the problem now.

Kaiser says no! He is not going to let street trash talk to Gunther like that because- Priest DECKS Kaiser! The fans are thunderous, and then Priest LARIATS Kaiser up and out! Gunther backs down! The fans are eating this up as Priest dares Gunther to bring the fight. Gunther backs out of the ring! The fans boo but Priest smirks. Is Priest

 

Backstage interview with Damage CTRL.

Cathy Kelley is with Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane, and she congratulates Iyo on becoming the #1 contender to the WWE Women’s World Championship. How does she plan on taking down the self-proclaimed greatest women’s champion in WWE? Iyo says she is ready for Riv. Bianca & Jade better save a piece for her. Kairi says they also have other business tonight. Yes, a Six Woman Tag, and the third woman is… DAKOTA KAI! She’s back again! And she missed the team so much. But while she’s happy to be back, she’s pissed at Pure Fusion Collective for taking three MONTHS away from her career. But as long as DMG CTRL is there, no one gets them down!

Not Shayna, not Zoey, and not Sonya. They’re going to remind everyone what DMG CTRL is capable of. Will #CobraKai help the Evil Genius & Pirate Princess put PFC in their place?

 

Kofi Kingston comes across R-Truth.

They say hey, and Kofi realized he never got to thank Truth for that thing with Final Testament. Kofi also apologizes for the aftermath, because for some strange reason, Xavier Woods didn’t want to get involved. Woods walks in to ask what’s going on. Kofi says they were just talking about how- Pete Dunne barges in? Dunne tells Truth they need to talk. Dunne’s told Truth his name, but every time they cross paths, Truth calls him that name. Oh, sorry, that’s on Truth. What does he want Truth to call him today? Oh, c’mon, that- Kofi asks what’s the issue. Oh, does he want to make this his issue?

Woods says no, this is not their issue so Dunne can handle this. Wait, does Woods talk for Kofi now? Kofi says no, he doesn’t. Well, Woods is actually right, you don’t want this fight. Maybe Kofi does! Let’s settle this in the ring! Because if you have a problem with Truth, you have a problem with Kofi. Woods says he’s out, Dunne says bet, and he’ll meet Kofi in the ring. Truth says this is getting good! And hey, good luck with Pete. Just watch out for Butch. Oh, wait… Truth walks off, grumbling to himself that he messed up again. But will the Bruiserweight be getting himself a win one way or another?

 

Six Woman Tag: Damage CTRL VS Pure Fusion Collective!

Raw returns and PFC makes their entrance. The trios sort out and Iyo starts against Zoey Stark. They tie up, go around, and Zoey headlocks. Iyo wrenches free to hammerlock, then headlock, but Zoey fires body shots. Zoey whips, Iyo ducks ‘n’ redirects, then rolls off Zoey’s back! The fans fire up as things keep moving, and Zoey avoids the handspring kick! Iyo eggs Zoey on again, but Zoey dodges her dropkick to scuff her face! Zoey back suplexes but Iyo lands out! Zoey dodges with a handspring of her own! Zoey then grabs hair and whips Iyo for a BACKDROP! Zoey flexes, then she kicks Iyo around.

Zoey tags Sonya and then scoops Iyo, BACKBREAKER and NECKBREAKER! The fans boo while Sonya covers, TWO! Iyo is tougher than that buy Sonya taunts DMG CTRL. Sonya snap suplexes Iyo, drags her up, and fires knees. The fans rally but Sonya suplexes again. Iyo slips free, then shoves Sonya to the corner! SHOTEI! Tag to Kairi and she helps Iyo double whip. They trip Sonya, AX KICK her, then snapmare for the DOUBLE BASEMENT DROPKICK! The fans fire up for DMG CTRL, but Zoey runs in. Kairi sidesteps, then goes up and over to RANA! The fans fire up as Sonya and Zoey are in one corner, Kairi DROPKICKS them both!

Kairi keeps moving, SLIDING D for Sonya! The fans fire up again as Kairi sees Sonya go to the floor. FLYING KABUKI ELBOW! The Queen of Spades taunts the Pirate Princess, then she goes after her! Sonya distracts the ref for Shayna to CLOBBER Kairi! PFC now stands tall while Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Kairi BLASTS PFC! She dodges Sonya and POSTS her! Kairi crawls, but Shayna runs in to BLOAST Iyo! But Kairi dodges Shayna to tag Dakota! The fans fire up as Dakota fires off furious fists! Shayna shoves Dakota, but Dakota kicks a leg out! Dakota runs, redirects and DROPKICKS! Then arm- NO, Shayna stops the arm-drag to whip. Dakota comes back, FLYING MARE! Dakota then runs up to SCORPION KICK, but Shayna ROCKS her back! Dakota hits Shayna, Shayna ROUNDHOUSES Dakota! Shayna fires up, runs up, but Dakota ducks the boot! Shayna is stuck in ropes, Dakota KICKS and BOOTS her!

Dakota then uses ropes to JUMP STOMP! Cover, TWO! Shayna survives but Dakota is right on her! BOOT WASH in the corner! The fans fire up and Dakota aims again. Around the World, but Sonya takes the BOOT for Shayna! Shayna hits a BIG back suplex on Dakota, to then have the leg! HALF BOST CRAB, but Dakota rolls! Shayna turns Dakota back over, and then Zoey intercepts Iyo! Iyo comes back but Zoey DECKS her! Zoey PLANCHAS, but Iyo dodges! Iyo BLASTS Shayna! Sonya KNEES Iyo! Kairi FLYING KABUKI ELBOWS Sonya! Zoey MISSILE DROPKICKS Kairi! Dakota BOOTS Zoey! And now, Around the World, but Shayna dodges!

KIRAFUDA KLUTCH!! Dakota fights her way over, Iyo tags in! Shayna ELBOWS Iyo, then has her int he KIRAFUDA! But Iyo flails, fights, and the ref reprimands! Dakota BOOTS Shayna! The fans fire up as Shayna falls, and Iyo rises! OVER THE MOONSAULT! Cover, DMG CTRL wins!

Winners: DMG CTRL, by pinfall

Dakota’s back and that made all the difference! Will Captain Kick help the team kick it up a notch and take control of the Women’s Division yet again?

 

Jey Uso and Sami Zayn meet backstage.

They do the handshake! But then Jimmy walks in. What’s Sami’s problem? No problem, no problem. Jimmy’s coming in with the problem. Jey says same page, get right. Sami says it is good to see Jimmy, he looks nice. Nice chain. Jimmy says Sami looks… Ok, see, this is what Sami means. Jey says move on from that, what’s the game plan tonight? Jimmy says they still need a fifth man for WarGames, that’s all. Oh, is Jimmy calling the plays? Yes, dawg. But 5v5, that’s WarGames. Jey says they don’t really have friends on Raw or SmackDown, but there’s gotta be someone. Sami says hold on, he knows someone.

Oh? Who’s he know? Don’t worry about who he knows. Sami will text. Jey says yeet. Sami heads out, Jey tells Jimmy to just be nice. Can the Honorary Uce find an Honorary Honorary Uce to join the fight?

 

Kofi Kingston w/ Xavier Woods VS Pete Dunne!

Despite what “Quarterback” Woods wanted, Kofi is going to fight on behalf of his friend, R-Truth. Will Kofi make sure the Bruiserweight takes a chill pill? Or will Dunne butcher Kofi for Truth’s mistakes?

Raw returns and Dunne makes his entrance. The bell rings and the fans taunt Dunne with “BUTCH! BUTCH! BUTCH!” Dunne mocks them like he can’t hear them, then circles with Kofi. They tie up, Kofi waistlocks, but Dunne has the ropes. Kofi lets off, but Dunne DECKS him! Dunne chinbars Kofi, claws at Kofi’s face, but the ref counts. Dunne stops, Woods says this is why he didn’t want this, but Dunne whips. Kofi reveres, runs up, but Dunne puts Kofi in the apron. Kofi ROCKS Dunne, springboards and AX HANDLES! The fans fire up, Kofi whips corner to corner, but Dunne goes up and over!

Kofi goes up to DROPKICK! The fans fire up as Dunne bails out! Kofi builds speed and he FLIES! Down goes Dunne and now Woods is into it! The fans are also into it, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Dunne has Kofi caught under him. Dunne bends fingers, twists the arm, but Kofi moves around. Dunne keeps on him, and drops KNEES on the arm! Dunne then traps both arms to neck wrench Kofi! The fans rally as Kofi endures, but Dunne twists the arms, and then STOMPS Kofi on the head! Kofi pushes Dunne, throws hands, but Dunne CHOPS! Dunne stomps Kofi into a corner, lets off as the ref counts, then drags Kofi to center. Dunne HAMMERS away on Kofi with his forearm! The fans boo but Dunne lets off to shout at them. Dunne runs corner to corner, but Kofi runs up to JUMP STOMP!

The fans fire up and Woods feels the energy, too! Kofi drags himself up with the ropes, and Dunne runs in. Kofi DOUBLE CHOSP! And DOUBLE CHOPS! And DROPKICKS! Kofi keeps moving, btu Dunne catches his arm! Dunne wrangles Kofi, but Kofi UPKICKS! Kofi then slips out to the apron to SWING KCIK! Dunne staggers, Kofi climbs, and CROSSBODY SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Dunne stays in this but Woods says Kofi’s got it. Kofi stands Dunne up, but Dunne goes for an arm! Kofi fights but Dunne still wrenches to an ELBOW BREAKER! The fans rally and Kofi catches Dunne! S O- NO! Dunne ENZIGIRIS!

Kofi staggers back, Dunne runs up at the corner but Kofi BOOTS him! Kofi goes up, up, and- FOREARM!! Dunne takes Kofi out of the air and the fans boo! Dunne runs up, but Kofi dodges to TROUBLE IN PARADISE! Dunne tumbles out, Kofi wants after him but the ref keeps him back. Woods CLOBBERS Dunne for Kofi! Woods then plays innocent but Kofi saw it! Woods says win the match! That’s all that matters! Kofi is reluctant but he puts Dunne in. New Day argues over who they’re doing this, but then Dunne BOOTS Kofi from the apron! Dunne hauls Kofi up, pump handle, BITTER END!! Cover, Dunne wins!

Winner: Pete Dunne, by pinfall

Woods is upset, acting like it’s Kofi’s fault in this. Sure, Woods handed Dunne to Kofi on a silver platter, but Woods isn’t respecting the way Kofi wants to do things! The arguing continues even now, how is New Day going to feel going into their ten year anniversary?

 

Judgment Day hangs out in the clubhouse.

Raquel Rodriguez says she can’t wait to get her hands on Jade & Bianca. Liv Morgan says tonight, they’re gonna have it all! So exciting! But then Finn Balor says the one thing they don’t have is the World Heavyweight Championship. Isn’t that right, Dom? Because after last week, Priest is one win away from being champion again. Thanks, mate. Dom says that wasn’t his fault. No one was watching his back, and Bronson Reed came out to destroy everyone. Where was Finn? Oh, he was being a team player, doing what Liv told him to do, and that was focus on the World Tag Team Championships and The War Raiders.

Besides, didn’t Dom say he could handle Damian all by himself? Yeah, well, Dom beat Priest, and he got a lot closer to the world title than Finn has lately. So Finn shouldn’t get so upset that Dom’s done something he couldn’t. Oh, wanna say that a bit closer, kid? The rest of the team calms these two down, they have to remember they’re family. Oh, Finn is calm. But yeah, Liv is right, they’re family. And family steps up for each other, even when times are tough. So next week, Dom & Carlito should step up for Finn & JD and show The War Raiders what judgment Day is all about. Can they do that for him?

Dom says he’s got Finn’s back. He’ll go make it official. Carlito isn’t so sure, but Dom’s already headed out. Carlito hurries after, and JD says they’ll be fine. Finn says look, one big happy family. But is this Judgment Day about tear itself apart like all forms have since the beginning?

 

Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill speak.

The Storm says, “Since winning these titles, everybody wants to step up and has been stepped on.” The EST says, “And Liv, you might have the gold and Raquel to have your back, but none of that’s gonna matter when you step into the ring because we gonna take you down just like everybody else.” So take your shot, because they return to SmackDown #AndStill the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Will the StrongEST Duo still be this duo when they take on Judgment Day’s bad girls?

 

Bronson Reed is here!

Grand Rapids is torn seeing The Colossal Aussie making his way to the ring. The fans boo as Reed grabs a mic, and Reed says he’s here tonight to tell Seth Rollins, “You are a hell of a competitor.” Rollins proved so when he won over Bronson Reed at Crown Jewel. But Reed is not a competitor, he is a monster! And last week, he not only took Rollins out, but he took out Priest, Sheamus, and will take out anyone that stands in the way of Reed putting Rollins down, for good! “So Mr. Visionary, Mr. Revolutionary, Mr. Seth Freakin’ Rolins… If you want your revenge, I’m right here in the ring, right now! All you gotta do is-”

“BURN IT DOWN!” The fans fire up as Rollins makes his own entrance! The fans sing along with, “WHOA~ OH~ OHH~!” And Rollins rushes the ring! Rollins dodges Bronson to fire off hands! Rollins runs, but Bronson CLOBBERS Rollins! Rollins bails out, but Bronson goes out to scoop him! Only for Rollins to slip free and POST Bronson! The fans fire up as Rollins clears the desk! But Bronson CLUBS Rollins onto the desk first! Bronson then goes back up onto barriers, just like last week! Fans freak out, but Rollins is up! Rollins LEAPS onto Bronson! They fight in the timekeeper’s area but here comes security!

The fans boo, and chant “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHT!” Bronson fights off the guards to get at Rollins again! They’re in the ring, throwing hands, but then Bronson RAMS Rollins into a corner! Security swarms again and fans boo some more. Rollins still fires hands, the two are separated, but fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT! LET THEM FIGHG!” Rollins slips out the back goes from the outside, and he fires hands on Bronson! Security drags Rollins down but Bronson throws off some guards. To then DIVE!! Down goes the guards but Rollins avoided disaster! Rollins fires more shots on Bronson!

Producers and Adam Pearce all rush out here! The Raw General Manager tells Rollins to stop it! Rollins argues, referees anchor Bronson, and clearly, this is FAR from over. When and where will The Visionary and Auszilla settle their score?

 

Raw returns and…

Rollins is still arguing with Pearce, but Pearce says enough! Rollins says no, he wants this match! He needs this match! He’s explained a million times who he is in his heart, in his soul! Give him the match! Fine, one more time! It happens next week because even Pearce has had enough! Just end it one way or another! Pearce storms off, Sami steps in, and Sami asks if Rollins is good. Rollins says yeah. Sami says he’s gonna ask something, and it’ll sound kinda crazy, just hear him out. They need a fifth man for WarGames. Now look, Sami isn’t dumb, he knows the history of Rollins and Roman. No one knows more about bad blood with The Bloodline than them.

But the whole reason Sami is back, is in this match, is because no matter what, no matter how bad things got, that family bond never goes away. And Sami is sure deep down, that bond between Rollins and Roman, on some level, is still there. Sami has looked up down the roster, both Raw and SmackDown, there’s no one else. It has to be Rollins. Rollins is their fifth man. Rollins thinks on that, and says Sami is out of his damn mind. After everything Rollins went through, everything he sacrificed, to take the tyrant, Roman Reigns, out of power… And now Sami wants Rollins to team with them to build Roman back up? No.

Listen to Rollins. Rollins does know better than anyone who Roman Reigns is, and he is shocked that anyone wants to stand next to him. Especially Sami, after everything Roman put him through. Sami must be blind to how Roman is just using him again. So thanks, and Rollins appreciates Sami, but the answer is no.

 

Damian Priest VS Ludwig Kaiser!

The Punisher is preparing for another round with Der Ring General, so for the first time 1v1, he’ll be taking on the Impeccable German! Will Priest crush Kaiser before going after Gunther again? Or will Imperium throw away the “street trash” already?

The bell rings and Priest blocks a punch to ROCK Kaiser! Priest puts Kaiser in a corner, ROCK Shim then whips him, then runs corner to corner. Kaiser didges, Priest hits buckles, and then Kaiser POSTS Priest! Priest is stuck in ropes, Kaiser runs to DROPKICK Priest down! Priest flops onto the floor, the fans boo Kaiser, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns and Kaiser headlocks. Priest fires body shots and is free, only for Kaiser to fireman’s carry! ROLLING DEATH VALLEY! Cover, TWO! Kaiser is annoyed with Priest and scuffs him around. Kaiser drags Priest up and reels him in, but Priest fights the suplex! Kaiser still tries, CLUBS away on Priest, then goes again. Priest suplexes first! BROKEN ARROW! The fans fire up while both men are down! Priest huffs ‘n’ puffs as he rises up again! The fans fire up as Priest ROCKS Kaiser, KOCKS him again, but Kaiser dodges the next! Kaiser runs, but into a FLAPJACK! Priest winds up, and he KCISK! KICKS! KICSK! Then ROLLING ELBOW!

Priest winds up again, and ROCKS Kaiser again! Priest whips Kaiser to a corner, runs corner to corner, and he ELBOWS Kaiser! Then FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! Kaiser stays in this but Priest smirks. The fans rally up, and Priest brings Kaiser around. Priest reels Kaiser in, lift shim up to a Canadian Rack, but Kaiser slips free! Kaiser BOOTS from ropes, then CHOPS! Priest sputters a moment, but he just comes back with anger in his eyes! Priest kicks, Kaiser ducks and rolls, TWO! Kaiser runs to PENALTY KCIK! Cover, TWO! Kaiser grows frustrated but the fans boo while he paces around Priest.

Kaiser drags Priest up, clinches, SIDE- NO, Priest slips free to BELL CLAP! And SUPERKICK! The fans fire up and Priest powers up. Priest runs, to COMEBACKER LARIAT! The straps come down and the fans fire up! Kaiser stands into the choke grip, and the SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! Cover, Priest wins!

Winner: Damian Priest, by pinfall

The lieutenant is taken out, and now Priest is rolling towards Der Ring General! Speaking of, Gunther watches from the stage. Is Priest right? Has doubt taken hold of Gunther’s mind?

 

Backstage interview with Bron Breakker.

Cathy Kelley is with the WWE Intercontinental Champion and brings up how he didn’t quite advance in the current WWE Speed tournament, as his match with Sheamus was a time limit draw. Bron says he’s at an interesting point in his career. He is looking to expand the trophy case. Naturally, being the fastest superstar in WWE today, the WWE Speed Championship interests him. He’d be here with two titles on his shoulders right now, if not for that ugly idiot bonehead, Sheamus, for getting in his way. Speaking of, here’s The Fella now! Sheamus says he couldn’t help but hear from Bron that Sheamus is an ugly idiot bonehead.

Well, Bron has a lot of arrogance. Bit disrespectful since Sheamus has been here 15 years and Bron’s been here 15 minutes. But Sheamus gets it. Bron is on top of the world, momentum on his side, and it’s a lot like Sheamus. Sheamus was one of the fastest to become WWE World Heavyweight Champion ever. Sheamus put his foot on John Cena’s throat. Now that was arrogance. Just like Bron. But Sheamus will say: Does Bron have a “set of tires” big enough to put up the one title that has eluded Sheamus his entire career? Bron chuckles and says he did not listen to a word Sheamus just said.

But if Sheamus wants to fight for this title, then the answer is yes, fella! Bron would love nothing more than to kick Sheamus’ old ass. Sheamus will explain: his old ass is still going, and better than ever. So do him a favor, “kid,” and shine up the belt real nice. Because Sheamus is taking it home next week. Sheamus leaves, will he finally complete WWE’s ultimate slam? Wait, Jimmy steps in? Jimmy asks if Bron has a second to talk. Okay, he’s got a second. Is #BigJim really thinking Badass Bron is going to help them fight The Bloodline?

 

The Final Testament find The Miz!

Karrion Kross is overly dramatic as he says, “Thank God you’re alive!” But what happened? Miz says he’s had enough. He’s going to Pearce’s office to ask for a leave of absence. Miz is done. Oh, Miz is done? He wants to go home? Well he’s not going home because he’s given Kross NOTHING on the Wyatts! No information! No locations! Where are they? He’s just randomly back? Miz says this is bigger than any of them! He has to think about himself and his family. He settled his business with The Wyatts. Miz apologized and vowed to change his ways, and they let him go. And honestly, he is a better man now.

The Wyatts moved on, Miz moved on, so Karrion… You need to move on. MOVE ON!? Is Paul Ellering supposed to move on!? Miz has the nerve to mention family, but Ellering is KROSS’s family! The Wyatts attacked Ellering and it is Miz’s fault. Hey, remember when Kross promised to break Miz’s legs? Boys, grab him. Akam & Rezar grab Miz and Kross says they need to remind everyone what happens, live on TV! They’re headed to gorilla, then on stage! The fans freak out as The Final Testament drags Miz to the ring! They put Miz in the ring, Kross says Miz is lying! Miz’s story doesn’t add up. Miz pleads with Kross, but Kross SHOVES him back down!

Kross asks where The Wyatts are! Well, they’re HERE~! The lights are coming down and Miz is terrified. The piano plays, the fireflies come out, and Grand Rapids fires up again! Miz disappears, and The Wyatts are in his place! The fans cheer as Bo Dallas/Uncle Howdy steps in, followed by Gacy, Lumis, Rowan & Nikki. Then The Miz HITS Rowan with a chair?! So much for being a better person. But Bo just laughs it all off? The brawl is on! Miz SMACKS Rowan again while Kross fires off on Bo and Lumis & Gacy brawl with the Authors of Pain! Scarlett has Nikki on the apron, then THRWOS her down! Miz SMACKS Rowan again!

The AOP give Lumis & Gacy the SUPER COLLIDER!! But Bo has the MANDIBLE CLAW on Kross! AOP saves Kross, Miz hits a FULL METAL FINALE on Rowan!! Kross gives Bo the FINAL PRAYER!! The fans boo as The Final Testament stands over The Wyatts, and Kross hugs Miz! They mastermind this entire trap, and the fans chant “Miz You Suck!” The Final Testament & Miz leave, but Bo slowly sits up. Kross can’t believe it, but Bo is laughing again! Will Uncle Howdy make sure Kross pays for his sins?

 

Backstage interview with Seth Rollins.

Cathy Kelley catches up to Rollins on his way out and wants to ask about how he has his match with Bronson. How does he plan on keeping the monster down this time? Hold on one minute, Cathy. Rollins looks over, and it’s SOLO SIKOA! He and his Bloodline are here, and Solo says bring it in, Uce. Solo knows Rollins doesn’t like Roman, and Solo can’t stand Roman. So why don’t they join forces to take Roman out? Rollins laughs, Solo takes that as a good sign. Rollins says he and Solo haven’t always gotten along, but here’s a little secret, something Rollins didn’t tell Sami when he refused to join Sami’s team.

The next time Rollins is in the ring with Roman, it is to stomp his head into the ground. Never again in Rollins’ life will he team with Roman Reigns. But Rollins will never join forces with a wannabe Roman Reigns. Jacob Fatu gets heated but Solo has him stand down. Rollins leaves for the night, he’s no one’s fifth man. But will it even matter if Bronson breaks him once and for all next Monday?

 

WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill VS Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez!

The StrongEST Duo could’ve started on their two woman power trip if not for lil’ Liv & Big Mami Cool screwing them out of the battle royal last week. Will Bianca & Jade make Judgment Day pay by denying them these titles? Or will it be Liv & Raquel looking to stack titles on top of titles?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really runs the show!

Liv runs up on Bianca at the bell, but Bianca hits a SPINEBUSTER! Bianca rains down fists, but Liv turns it around to give those back. Bianca turns it back around, Liv gets loose, but Bianca DROPKICKS her down! Bianca kips up, runs up and RAMS Liv in again and again! The ref counts, Bianca whips corner to corner, then runs in. Liv dodges and Bianca POSTS herself! Liv runs back up to SLAP Bianca down! Liv stomps away, the ref counts, and Liv stops at 4. Liv runs back in, but Bianca ALLEY-OOPS Liv onto buckles! Liv sputters, Bianca climbs up, and Bianca rains down fists! Raquel runs up but Bianca fights her off!

The fans boo but Liv YANKIS Bianca down by the braid! The ref reprimands both Liv & Raquel but then Jade runs over! YOINK and Jade DECKS Raquel! Liv WRECKS Jade with a dropkick! Liv laughs, but Bianca is out there! Liv dodges, Jade & Bianca almost hit each other! Raquel CLOBBERS Jade! Bianca ROCKS Raquel, but Liv MISSILE DROPKICKS Bianca! All four women are down on the outside, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns, Raquel and Bianca crawl, hot tags to Jade and Liv! Jade rallies on Liv with big forearms, then a SPINEBUSTER! The fans fire up with Jade, and she runs to ELBOW Liv in a corner! Raquel is back but Jade scoops her! Jade SLAMS Raquel, but Liv CHOP BLOCKS Jade! Liv runs, but into a scoop and torture rack! Jade brings Liv around for the SWINGING WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER! Cover, Raquel breaks it! Raquel ELBOWS Bianca down from the apron, then drags Liv to safety. Raquel tags back in, and she storms up on Jade. The fans fir eup as Jade dodges, and DOUBLE BOOTS take both women down!

The fans fire up while Jade and Raquel stir, but wait! Nia Jax & Tiffany Stratton are here! Tiff distracts teh ref while Nia drags Jade out of the ring! APRON SAMOAN DROP! The WWE Women’s Champion helps out one enemy to screw another! Raquel with the VADER ELBOW DROP! Cover, Bianca breaks it! Tiff wants to distract the ref again, but now NAOMI is here! Naomi YANKS Tiff down, then RAMS her into barriers! But Nia runs uP! Naomi sends her into barriers! Liv hits a BACKSTABBER on Naomi! Liv hurries to tag in, and she climbs up a corner! FLYING CODE- SUPERKICK! Jade tags Bianca and then SUPERKICKS Raquel!

Bianca sets Liv up, torture rack and KISS OF DEATH!! Cover, StrongEST Duo wins!!

Winners: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill, by pinfall (still WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions)

But then Nia CLOBBERS everyone! Naomi runs up, Nia CLOBBERS her, too! The Irresistible Force has trucked the Big 3, but wait! Iyo Sky is here! ROUNDHOUSE on Nia! Iyo springboards to MISSILE DROPKICK Nia away! The Evil Genius then dodges tiff to SHOTEI! And wheelbarrow, victory roll, STOMP 182! The Evil Genius roars, but so does Raquel! Iyo dodges Raquel, Jade & Bianca DOUBLE LARIAT her out! Nia fireman’s carries Iyo, but Naomi BOOTS Nia first! Iyo gives Nia a BUZZSAW! The StrongEST Duo DOUBLE SUPLEX Nia! Th efans are thunderous as Iyo and the Big 3 stand tall! Will these four soon be the champions of WWE?


My Thoughts:

A great Raw here, with them quickly shifting gears towards WarGames. Maybe a little too quickly in the Women’s WarGames given it’s coming together right here at the end in the main event spot. But at the same time, they’re quite cleverly just using what they built going into Crown Jewel and bridging it to the next event. Great tag title match, though rather quick and with a lot of overbooking to get it done before the 10 PM Eastern hard cut. Jade & Bianca of course retain, but with Naomi going after Nia’s title and Iyo going after Liv’s title, we got some very natural alliances made here. I imagine Bayley and Candice will be the fifth woman for each team, given their part in the ongoing Nia VS Naomi story.

Though, that technically means this will be a very SmackDown heavy Survivor Series in terms of the WarGames. Because duh, the Men’s WarGames is Bloodline: Civil War, and Bloodline has been a predominantly SmackDown centric story this year. It’s only until Jey left Bloodline and struck out on his own that Raw got included in the overall story. And it seems they really are sticking to 5v5 so that there’s drama for the sake of drama. Jimmy was certainly thinking outside the box asking Bron Breakker, but that’s gonna be a no, nothing is in it for Bron. Also good promo from Bron and Sheamus, with a surprising use of WWE Speed as part of story. Bron VS Sheamus is of course going to be a banger, but it just doesn’t feel like where Sheamus finally wins the Intercontinental Championship.

Sami Zayn wanting it to be Seth Rollins is a surprising option, but a logical one after what Sami said tonight. Rollins had a good promo with Sami and with Solo to turn them both down, but it feels like there’s a chance we circle back around to Rollins as the fifth man. I still feel Solo’s side should bringing in Hikuleo, but it would be a much more “shocking” moment if Rollins gave in and made amends with Roman. Making amends seems to be a theme they’re going for, at least, so going for this reconciliation of The Shield fits. That “wannabe Roman” line is really gonna stick in Solo’s mind, too, so you can bet his side goes after Rollins and compels him to join Roman.

Meanwhile, great to see Dakota back, DMG CTRL got a great win of PFC. There was nothing here tonight but should there be a Women’s Intercontinental Championship made, Dakota and Kairi each have a fair chance of winning it. At this rate, PFC do not. Great promo from Truth, Dunne and New Day, followed by great match from Dunne VS Kofi. Woods’ cheating was a very clever way for Kofi to lose while adding even more dysfunction between New Day. Very good promo to add dysfunction into The Judgment Day, too, with a lot of passive aggressiveness between Finn and Dom. Nice Easter egg that JD was simulating Finn & JD VS War Raiders in WWE2K. Pretty sure the faction falls apart when Finn & JD lose to Erik & Ivar.

Speaking of all that, Priest had a very good promo with Gunther to revisit last time and then flip it around. Also, wild to think that was only three months ago with SummerSlam. But great stuff where now even Gunther and Kaiser are at odds, and Gunther is perhaps intimidated by Priest after all. Great win for Priest over Kaiser, and who knows how the title match for Survivor Series go. I won’t say we’re booked into a corner, but it’d be kinda wild for Priest to take this title back after only those three months and for Gunther to more or less fall off from being top Intercontinental Champion of all time.

The Wyatt Sicks6 and Final Testament had a great segment, though it maybe took some time away from the women’s tag title match. Miz with the swerve on the Wyatts was really well done, and was the blood coming from the corner of his eye also planned? That was an interesting touch if so. But clearly, here’s our 8 Man Tag after all, with Miz embracing the darkest parts of his Heel persona. Plus, Bo actually creeping Kross out with how he laughed off the pain was great. I can’t wait to see where this goes.

My Score: 8.9/10
