Vince McMahon returns to Raw!
The Chairman is in Cincinnati and heads right to the ring to welcome everyone to the show! And tonight will be one for the ages! It will be one no one can forget! Why? Because Vince is here! But so is the BIG DOG! Roman Reigns returns to Raw just like he promised on social media! And clearly, Vince is not happy about it. Roman is meant to be a SmackDown superstar now, so he shouldn’t be here. Plus, the last time Roman and Vince were in the same arena, Roman gave Vince a Superman Punch! Roman joins Vince in the ring again, but Vince threatens Roman that if he hits Vince again, the police will arrest him! And again, Roman shouldn’t be here when he’s on SmackDown.
Roman tells Vince to watch his tone. Roman is on SmackDown, but Raw has been Roman’s home for a long time. He promises to leave this place better than he found it, but then the McMahon Family promise the fans are the authority. Apparently that was a lie, because what have the McMahons done? They’re running around abusing power. Roman says it’s over, because he doesn’t listen to them or their orders. He listens to the WWE Universe. So Roman can just show up and fans will like it? Cincy seems to, and that’s reason enough. But Vince says that won’t happen, so don’t even go there. There’d be anarchy if that happened! But wait, is that… Daniel Bryan!? Another SmackDown star, on Raw?!
The Planet’s Champion walks right down the ramp and grabs himself a mic before stepping into the ring. Vince is having a nightmare, isn’t he? What’s Bryan doing here? Bryan says that “ever since the travesty” at Wrestlemania, where he was robbed by Kofi Kingston, Bryan has spent his time in solitude. Fans cheer for Kofi which only annoys Bryan. Bryan says he was meditating, searching for answers that only leaders of the world could understand. So when Bryan heard “The Big Dog” was going to show up here, Bryan figured he and Vince could have a conversation. But wait, here comes the WWE Champion!! SmackDown’s Kofi Kingston is here, too!? What is going on?!
Fans are loving having Kofi here. Kofi wants to celebrate with the people a bit. And yea, the Superstar Shake-Up happened, but if Bryan has a problem, he didn’t need to go to the McMahons. “Forget the McMahons, come to me.” Because Kofi is the W, W, E, World, Heavy, weight, CHAMPION~! Bryan is fine with that. Kofi is “an undeserving champion” who should have never gotten that title shot! Kofi’s 11 year journey was so hard because he was just a novelty act! “And yet, here I am!” And there’s nothing Bryan can do about it! Vince shouts over everyone, he has an epiphany! Perhaps there should be a Wild Card Rule! The Shake-Up is always great, but there really should be three members from SmackDown who can show up on Raw and vice-versa so that no one can tell what’ll happen! Vince is a genius!
So was this Vince’s “plan” the whole time? That’s fine by Kofi, but he just knows he saw Roman tweeting about showing up. And without Big E and Xavier Woods, Kofi had a free Monday so he just figured he’d show up, too. Why let Roman have all the fun? Bryan wants them to stop, Mondays aren’t fun. Bryan isn’t here for fun, he’s here for his WWE Championship! Fans boo and Bryan shouts for them to shut up. But here comes Drew McIntyre! The Scottish Terminator says that if Vince can’t get this under control, and if no other superstar has a pair, then he’ll take care of this himself! This is not SmackDown Presents Raw. Kofi and Bryan should be so lucky that McIntyre hates Roman more. Roman thinks he can do what he wants? That the rules don’t apply to him?
Roman was put on SmackDown so he could avoid McIntyre then punch his boss in the face! Roman’s an egomaniac and McIntyre vows to Claymore him back down to Earth! Well it didn’t really work out at Mania so go ahead and try. Wait, Vince has another genius idea: a Wrestlemania Rematch! No, two Wrestlemania rematches! And the second one is for the WWE Championship! Vince pats himself on the back for being so brilliant, but wait! Is that AJ Styles!? The Phenomenal One keeps Vince from leaving because he has something to talk about, after the break.
Raw returns and AJ Styles stands alone with Vince.
Okay, Styles, what’s up? “What are you doing?!” Styles can’t understand what’s going on. Styles finally joins Raw in the Shake-Up, but then SmackDown stars are showing up just because? Well there’s an explanation now: the new Wild Card Rule! Seriously? How convenient. Styles spent years making SmackDown the House that AJ Styles Built, and now that he finally sinks his teeth into Raw and the Universal Championship, Seth Rollins’ best friend shows up! Is that how it’s going to work? Because if so, maybe Styles should go to SmackDown and brings more of his friends. No, it’s three possible invitations between Raw and SmackDown, for the excitement. But speaking of exciting, here comes Seth Rollins!
The Architect storms right to the ring but Vince keeps the peace. Rollins is still pissed about Styles sucker punching him in the contract signing. And then Styles talks about SmackDown being his show? The show that’s been around 20 years and over 1000 episodes? That show was fine before Styles and is still fine without him. But this isn’t even SmackDown, this is Monday Night Rollins! Styles knows where he is. And he knows what he did. Rollins should try to be a good sport. But what did he do? He rejected the handshake and shoved the title in styles’ face. If Rollins isn’t gonna treat Styles like a man, Styles will be the man who kicks Rollins’ ass! And Styles gave him a Phenomenal Forearm through that table.
And nothing will change at Money in the Bank. Well, maybe something. Because when Styles hits the Phenomeanl Forearm again, he’ll be Universal Champion. Vince says these two should compete tonight! But not 1v1! As a tag team! Vince will find a team to face them! But Rollins refuses. Vince says he has no choice. Because this is another brilliant idea from Vince McMahon! Vince says their match is up next! Will Rollins and Styles find a way to work together? Or will they burn each other down even before MITB?
Seth Rollins & AJ Styles VS ???
Vince McMahon’s handpicked team for the Architect and the Phenomenal One is… The Rocky Mountain Machine, Bobby Lashley, with the former acting GM, the former Golden Gloves champion, the former WWE United States Champion, the former Mr. Money in the Bank, and “Cincinnati’s Favorite Son”, Baron Corbin!

The Miz waits for Shane McMahon outside his office.
Will the A-Lister give The Best in the World quite the welcome to Cincinnati?
Sami Zayn’s back on Raw!
What will the Critic of the Critics have to say about the WWE Universe now? Find out after the break.
Raw returns and Sami wonders what fans will complain about now. We got Roman Reigns, we’ll get Kofi VS Bryan for the title, so what is there to dislike? Sami heard the fans and it sounded like they liked it. Sami liked it, too. But the difference is that when Sami enjoys something and fans enjoy something, is that after things wear off, the fans are still them. They’re still stuck with that “miserable person that you see in the mirror”, all the time! Because fixing yourself is hard. Sami put in hard work to fix himself, but complaining is easy! And that’s why fans do it! It’s the easy way out, and the fans are just cowards. Fans boo and call Sami “Boring! Boring!” but Sami can hear the critics tomorrow-
BRAUN!! The Monster Among Men storms his way out and Sami figures the talking is over. Sami takes off his jacket and hat, and then runs away! Strowman doesn’t let him get away, though, but then Sami goes through the WWE Universe. Strowman keeps his eyes on Sami, and finds an intersection. Sami runs even faster but Strowman keeps chase! They go past commentary and into the backstage area! Will Strowman catch up to Sami and shut him up?
We cut backstage during entrances to see Strowman is almost upon Sami! Sami throws what he can in Strowman’s path, but gets a dead end garage door! Sami pulls on the chain but it isn’t enough. He tells Strowman this has nothing to do with him, but then the door opens. Sami crawls but Strowman catches him like a horror movie! Strowman yanks Sami up, scoops him, and throws him in the dumpster! “Who’s the coward now?” But then Strowman hears the garbage truck coming.

That was almost too easy. Will the luchadores climb the ranks towards the Raw Tag Team Championships?
Natalya and Naomi find envelopes in their lockers.
The Sassy Southern Belle, Ms. Lacey Evans, invites them all to ringside for her match later tonight. “Formal ringside attire required.” Who is she to tellt hem how to dress? This is so tacky. And if she tries sucker punching them, she’s gonna get Naomi’s left and right. Dana Brooke also has an invitation. This is because they’re all in the Women’s MITB, isn’t it? She must be planning something. And do the envelopes smell like peach cobbler? Who does that? Lacey has got to go.
The Miz still waits.
Shane hasn’t arrived to Raw, but Miz seems willing to wait all night if he has to.
Ricochet VS Robert Roode!
The One and Only is one of eight men in the Men’s Money in the Bank match, for now. He wants to prove he’s better than The GLORIOUS One by putting that spot on the line! Will Ricochet lose his own gamble and be out of a golden opportunity?
Raw returns as Roode makes his entrance. The bell rings and Roode powers Ricochet right to a corner. Roode stomps a mudhole into Ricochet but then backs up not to be disqualified. He still comes back for more stomps, but then backs off again. Roode CHOPS Ricochet then whips him corner to corner. Ricochet goes up and over and speeds things up.

Cover, TWO!
Roode grows frustrated with Ricochet as he stalks him to another corner. He drags Ricochet up and puts him on the top rope. Roode CHOPS Ricochet and climbs up, but Ricochet fights him off. Roode falls into the drop zone, and Ricochet hits the 630 Senton! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall;Â keeps his spot in the Money in the Bank match
The King of Flight flies high and stays in the ladder match! But will he ascend to even greater heights by becoming the new Mr. Money in the Bank?
Rey Mysterio and Dominique walk and talk backstage.
They’re both feeling great, because now the King of Lucha Libre is getting a WWE United States Championship match! Mysterio pinned Samoa Joe last week and now the match has been made for MITB! Dominique heads out, but Samoa Joe is stalking him!! What will the Destroyer do to the Son of Mysterio!?
Raw returns to Joe talking to Dominique.
Joe is actually glad to be meeting Dominique face-to-face. There’s a saying in the business, “If you show up here, show up like you’ve been here.” But Dominique’s been here before with Papa Rey and “Uncle” Eddie. Dominique was so excited to celebrate with Rey. That means he and Rey made an effort to humiliate Joe. Dominique defends that’s not why, but Joe says he’s not done talking! Take this message to daddy: Mysterio may have been the better man last week, but Joe is actually very excited to defend the title at MITB. Joe lets Dominique leave, but how will Mysterio take his message?
Lacey Evans VS Allie Katrina!
The Sassy Southern Belle sent invitations to this match so that everyone could see what she does tonight. Of course, she really wants The Man to be watching this closely, but will Becky “Two Belts” Lynch even care?
And to everyone’s surprise, Naomi, Dana and Natty actually show up! But not just them, here comes The Goddess! Alexa Bliss joins in watching this match. The bell rings and Lacey throws her opponent to the corner! Lacey then thrashes and chokes her opponent, but stops at the ref’s count of 4. Then she boots her opponent back down! Lacey dabs the sweat off with a handkerchief before hitting the swinging bronco buster! She then drags Katrina up for the Woman’s Right! Cover, Lacey wins!
Winner: Lacey Evans, by pinfall
Well, the Model Soldier did what she wanted to in showing off to the rest of the Raw Women’s Division. She also picks up the mic to thank them for coming to “such a classy event.” Though she expected RSVP’s, but oh well. Now as to why she invited the “nasties” out here, is because they all deserved a front row seat to see what a lady is capable of. It’ll be the same at MITB when Becky Two Belts loses it all, courtesy of the Woman’s Right. Now one of these four might become Ms. MITB. Hopefully they’re all smarter than they look. Because if they have the audacity to cash in on Lacey, they’ll quickly regret it. “Because y’all will come up short, just like The Man”- But speaking of, here comes Becky!
The Champ Champ swaggers down the ramp ad puts her belts down to bring the fight! She throws hands on Lacey! Lacey runs away but Becky won’t let her get away! Cincy is fired up as Becky throws her around the ring. Dana, Natty and Naomi cheer Becky on as she goes for the Disarm-Her! Lacey escapes but just barely. Will Lacey be able to stay classy against Becky when they finally have it out for the Raw Women’s Championship?
Daniel Bryan paces.
The Planet’s Champion seems to be plotting. “Kofi Kingston’s constant shilling as WWE Champion”, from pancakes to merchandise, is a threat to our very existence! That is why Bryan has no choice but to remove Kofi as a role model for both the WWE Universe and the human race! Kofi is not a champion nor a role model, he is pretending! Bryan vows to reclaim that title and be what he was born to be: the Planet’s Champion.
The Usos stake out the Raw Locker Room.
Jimmy & Jey sneak around looking for something. Or perhaps someone?
The Viking Raiders VS Curt Hawkins & Zack Ryder!
Erik & Ivar have been bringing the fight to the Raw Tag Division since arriving! But the Major Brothers aren’t going to be seen as underdog champions any longer! Will Hawkins & Ryder take down their biggest threats? Or will they only go through a painful Viking Experience?
The bell rings, and Ryder 7 Hawkins are ready for the bumrush! They dodge and dropkick the Vikings then throw Erik out to focus on Ivar. Hawkins tags Ryder and Ryder throws forearms and headbutts. Tag to Hawkins and he does the same. Ryder tags back in and they keep mugging Warbeard Ivar. Ivar shoves and swings but misses. Hawkins tags in and the Major Bros combine for a Russian Leg Sweep STO! Cover, ONE! Tag to Ryder and Hawkins dropkicks Ivar in a corner. Broski Boot from Ryder and cover, TWO! Tag to Hawkins and he runs in, to a seated senton!

Tag to Ivar, and they go after Ryder with Thor’s Hammer! Cover, The Viking Raiders win!
Winners: The Viking Raiders, by pinfall
Erik & Ivar just put down the Raw Tag Team Champions! Does that mean they’ll be competing for those titles sooner rather than later?
Raw presents a new episode of Firefly Fun House!
Bray Wyatt’s back, everybody! Now today is going to be a very special day. But, what’s going on with Mercy the Buzzard? Burp~! What’s he got there? Nothin’. C’mon, man, we’re all friends here. Back off, Bray, he said it was nothin’. What is he trying to hide? None yo’ damn business, Abby! Now go back to sleep, you old hag. Bray keeps the peace between the pals and wants to see what the fuss is about. He reaches in but Mercy snaps at him. Bray grabs… RAMBLING RABBIT?! Or what’s left of him… Mercy hated that rabbit. The rabbit was trying to force his world views on Mercy. Oh boy… It’s perfectly okay to express yourself. Whether it’s painting a painting, flying a kite, or ripping a rabbit to shreds. They can forgive him just like Bray was forgiven. In fact, Mercy should be rewarded! Does he mean…
Yes! Picnic time! And remember, Fireflies. He’ll always light the way, you just have to let him in. Bye~! See you next time~!
Uh…
Seth Rollins speaks.
“It doesn’t matter if that forearm was an accident or whether you did it on purpose”, AJ Styles made his point perfectly clear when he just walked away! But the next time Styles walks away from Rollins is with two black eyes and a broken face! The Architect has sent his ultimatum, but will the Phenomenal One heed the warning?
Drew McIntyre VS Roman Reigns!
The new Wild Card Rule allows this crossover of Raw VS SmackDown to happen, because of how “brilliant” Vince McMahon is. Either way, this unfinished business will be settled between Scottish Terminator and Big Dog one way or another! Will Roman roll on towards his MITB fight with Elias?

But Elias still has Roman, and brings him up for McIntyre. CLAYMORE!! The Drifter helps the Scottish Terminator stand tall, but will Roman make them both pay?
Shane is still running away!
He hides around a corner and Miz goes right past him. Shane smirks and breathes easy but Charly Caruso asks what’s going to happen at MITB in that steel cage.

Raw looks back to #Kofimania.
“All I ever wanted was a chance, man.” “Kofi Kingston is nothing more than a B+ Player.” The battle of Bryan and Kofi was back and forth, and every time Bryan thought he’d put Kofi away, Kofi proved tougher than thought possible. And of course, the Trouble in Paradise finally makes Kofi THE WWE World Champion! Will Bryan get revenge for that Wrestlemania Moment? Or will Kofimania continue on towards MITB and Kevin Owens?
The Good Brothers VS The Revival!
Raw returns as these two teams sort out. Scott Dawson starts against Karl Anderson. Raw reviews the infamous #ShaveYourBack video footage, and The Usos appear! The #TopGuys are riled up but the Usos think the “hottest tag team” should try… “Ucey Hot”! Sweat activated antiperspirant. That means it should kick in about… Now? Now. Getting a little itchy there? Little hot under the collar? Or just hot under the undies. The Revival can’t stop, so the Usos offer water to wash them off. Dash & Dawson scoot and crawl like dogs with worms and even the Usos are surprised how effective that was. The Revival get the water to pour on themselves, but they were supposed to drink it. The water just makes it worse!
Now the Revival are running laps around the stage from that burning sensation. Guess they won’t be having that match with Anderson & Gallows after all. Will the Usos pay for their pranking ways?
No Contest
Kofi Kingston speaks.
“So Daniel Bryan doesn’t think that I am a champion?” But the thing is, these last 11 years, a lot of people thought that. Bryan won’t be the last one. Many thought Kofi as WWE Champion was impossible, but he showed the world the truth! The impossible IS possible! Bryan is going to correct the course of history? No! Kofi will do that when he retains the title and sends Bryan’s whining behind back where he came from! An dthen everyone will know why Kofi is THE WWE Champion, Babyyyyyy~!
No Way Jose VS Lars Sullivan!
The Fighting Fiesta and his conga line go around the ring, but the Leviathan isn’t in a partying mood! And it’s another SmackDown star on Raw! Will the party be over for good after Lars gets through with Jose?
Lars goes after the conga line first! He beats up the hot dog, the tie dye guy, and the green guy! Jose attacks Lars but is thrown into the crowd! Lars runs over the conga line guys again, then stands up the hot dog for a FREAK ACCIDENTÂ onto the barriers!

Lars stalks him to a corner, but Jose returns with haymakers! They do nothing to Lars, but Lars’ one hand clobbers Jose. Lars then shoves the green kilt guy out, before giving Jose the Leviathan Bomb! The Mile High Monster is seemingly unstoppable, who won’t he destroy?
No Contest
Raw celebrates Naomi’s joining the Boys & Girls Club Alumni Hall of Fame!
Naomi is the first woman from the WWE to join this wonderful group’s list of great members.
Vince tries to explain something.
The Wild Card Rule is not being violated because Elias and Shane don’t count. Only three are allowed, and anyone who violates that will be suspended or fired. Anyway, Vince is interrupted by Lars! He decides to bump the Wild Card Rules to four superstars. That’s all Lars needed to hear to spare Vince his wrath.
WWE Championship: Kofi Kingston VS Daniel Bryan!
Raw hasn’t had the world title defended here in three years, and it’s thanks to the Wild Card Rule that we’re getting it! Who wins this massive Wrestlemania rematch to then move on to Money in the Bank?

Winner: Kofi Kingston, by pinfall;Â still WWE Champion
And Kofimania still lives! Kofi hoists the title up over his head in celebration! But he still has Kevin Owens on the horizon, will the dream live on through Money in the Bank?
My Thoughts:
Well, this was a Raw. You could practically feel Vince’s desperation to make Raw exciting, only for it to fail about half the time. AJ Styles practically speaks for me when he asks Vince what the heck is going on, wondering what the point of the Superstar Shake-Up even was now. Vince even has to explain things to someone on the phone (I assume Stephanie or HHH) because things were being booked to not go the way the “Wild Card Rule” works. I would almost think Vince was being self-referential making himself look like a crazy person saying he’s brilliant yet losing control. It’s just all very odd.
Plus, Vince wasn’t really thinking outside the box tonight. Styles and Rollins paired together, against Lashley and Corbin, who seems to be Vince’s other favorite wrestler now, it takes some of the drama out of that story. I fear this is Corbin’s claim to a Universal Championship at Extreme Rules, as leaked local advertisements have spoiled. Ricochet puts his MITB spot on the line but obviously he doesn’t lose it, because what’s the point of announcing entrants before making people compete for them? Though honestly that would’ve been something actually shocking from tonight. Speaking of shocking, surely they aren’t writing Sami off so soon. Strowman lets him get compacted, but I imagine Sami, with lots of casts, limps out next week only to get destroyed again.
And then we just get squash matches and filler! Lucha House Party squashes local jobbers just because, and Lacey Evans squashes a local jobber just because there was no other woman to be squashed! With Sasha Banks dissatisfied, though perhaps justifiably, the four women in the MITB ladder match are the only other women on Raw. At best, this teases four possibilities for Lacey’s next feud after she loses to Becky. Becky’s attack on Lacey wasn’t even much, this was just so Becky could shut Lacey up now when it’s almost a given she’ll do it at MITB. Then we get two No Contests in a row. Lars’ makes sense, he gets to maul Jose and some random guys. But Usos pranking the Revival is even more juvenile than #ShaveYourBack. This is just Vince trying to bury the Revival for even suggesting leaving, which can be its own rant article!
Oddly enough, the truly good things involved the now SmackDown stars. Roman VS McIntyre was a great match, even if you factor in Shane and Elias disqualifying McIntyre. Shane’s guys stand tall but this is just so Roman can get payback on the way to MITB. Miz going after Shane was great, even if Shane runs away. I had been sensing crossover involving Shane’s two stories, so maybe the one good thing of Wild Card Rule is that Miz shows up tomorrow and helps Roman. That would be an interesting move because it would bring Miz and Roman full circle from that one Miz TV segment years ago. Then Kofi VS Bryan was a great rematch even though it was shorter. But obviously Kofi wins because titles don’t usually change on TV, and he still needs to face Kevin Owens.
My Score: 7.5/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 11.7.2024
Moose challenges for the X Division Championship and Wendy Choo & Rosemary have their Demonic NoDQ grudge match!
Well tonight’s show we should get some solid action and hopefully some build toward Turning Point and Final Resolution as we round out 2024. Moose challenges Speedball for the X Division Championship, the other half of the Elegance Clique will wrestle Jody Threat to solidify their Knockouts tag bid, Demon battle as Wendy Choo and Rosemary have it out and then there’s the matter of if Joe Hendry will find a way to get another shot at the World title when he didn’t lose it cleanly.
So there’s a few bites to take out of this apple, let’s see if we have to spit in the face of anyone who isn’t cool.

Results:
Tasha Steelz & Alisha Edwards vs Jordynne Grace & Masha Slamovich
Alisha going for the ole Bob Orton gimmick and walks out with the neck brace on even though she’s medically cleared to compete. I appreciate it.
Tasha tries to tie up with Jordynne to start, and as you can imagine, that doesn’t go well. Shoulder Tackle sends Tasha into her corner, she tags to Alisha, Alisha tries to hype herself up for a Test of Strength, Jordynne wins with one hand and Lish complains about her injured neck so the referee breaks the Test of Strength and Lish tags out quickly. Tasha comes in and Jordynne tags out, Masha works over Tasha, Masha tags out, quick tandem Suplex, Jordynne goes for a Scoop Slam and Vader Bomb but Lish picks the ankle causing Jordynne to fall on the ropes. Tasha with the Back Stabber, and Lish calls to get tagged back in and tries to sink in a Sleeper Hold, but Jordynne fights through and Lish tags out as soon as things start to go against her.
Tasha connects with a PK, twerks in Jordynne’s face and Jordynne just slaps her ass as she gets up. Tasha tries a Satellite DDT, but Jordynne stops it and counters into a Sidewalk Slam. Tags out to Masha and Masha runs over Tasha, big Capo Kick for the pinfall but Lish breaks it up. Masha gets distracted with Lish, Tasha Codebreaker causes Masha to tag out. A few Vader Hammers into the Backfist, but Tasha ducks the Backfist and hits the Blackout! Masha breaks up the pin and Tasha tags out to Lish. Heels try to double team Jordynne but she shrugs both off, Masha goes for the Blind Tag, walks in and barely even locks in the Sleeper Hold and Lish taps out soo damn fast.
Lish is a great character. The fact that she gets her gimmick over more than trying to just to derpy moves makes her matches enjoyable. She gets pro wrestling.Â
NoDQ Match: Wendy Choo vs Rosemary
The video package I put at the top of the article makes this split make a ton of sense. Rosemary has abandonment issues, but The Hive decided on a preemptive strike. So if anything it babyfaced them both, but how do you babyface demons? Let’s see.
They start off just exchanging Head Smashes into the corner, Wendy gets the best of it, goes for her Diving Nap Elbow, Cartwheel Forearm and High Bootwash, but Rosemary slows down Wendy with The Upside Down. Wendy manages to escape and tie Rosemary into the Tree of Woe, she hammers away, tries to get her pillow but Rosemary counters and sends Wendy into the steps. Rosemary starts taking Wendy to task on the outside, cables and weapons, as she throws Wendy back into the ring and tries to use her cane for extra leverage in a submission, but Wendy fights through, both level each other with Lariats, do a double zombie rise and go to the corner, Wendy hits the Monkey Flip, grabs her pillow finally and starts using it in her offense. Night Night with the Pillow off the middle rope, but Rosemary kicks out at two. Sleeper attempt from Wendy but Snapmare into a Spear gives Rosemary the wi-oh Wendy kicked out.
Rosemary grabs the cane, Wendy tries to counter with a Full Nelson Bomb, but Rosemary bites her and manages to lock in the As Above So Below with the Cane, and Rosemary wins.
Well that match was fine, and now it looks like we’re getting another filler match because of the injuries from tapings. So TNA is bringing back From the Vaults to cover for the lost time. At least there’s a precedent so it doesn’t seem too silly and I appreciate them trying to give people something they haven’t seen in lieu of just throwing out a Golden era match or something.

Joe Hendry comes out to talk after the Rascalz vignette. And I almost wanted to be mad at more talking, but Hendry has a meme music video about Ryan Nemeth! He sets it up as going through all of his accomplishments and its as simple as “He’s Nic Nemeth’s brother…the end”. It was all to set up a challenge to Ryan, but I’m glad Hendry just went for the obvious joke and steered hard.Â

The vignettes have been pretty damn good this episode. And it looks like Genesis is back for 1.19.2025. You know, Hard to Kill hasn’t been announced, so maybe the name belongs to Scott D’Amore so they’re going back to Genesis as their lead PLE. Little disappointed by that, but business is business.
Heather by Elegance w/ASH & Personal Concierge vs Jody Threat w/Dani Luna
Heather yanks Jody off the ropes during her entrance and takes a few cheap shots. The referee gets space, Jody of course wants to fight so the match begins and Jody starts beating the hell out of Heather. Vader Hammers in the corner, Exploder Suplex, throws Heather into the ropes, looks for her Double Knees/German spot, but ASH picks the ankle and causes a distraction. Heather takes advantage and hits the Satellite DDT, and starts stomping a mudhole into Jody. As the ref pulls off Heather, ASH gets in a few hair pulls and cheapshots as Heather lands the Hesitation Dropkick and gets a two count.
Jody fights back up to her feet, but Heather slips it and uses the hair to drag down Jody, DDT and another near fall. Heather tries to rain down some Elbows and keep Jody down, but Heather is 4 foot nothing, so it’s easy to get eye level with her. Jody Snap Suplex, runs over Heather with a few Lariats, Big Boot sends Heather into the ropes, Double Knees/German spot finally goes off. ASH hops up to the apron, Dani neutralizes them and Heather manages to pull the distracted Jody face first into the Turnbuckles, Diving Crossbody from Heather, but Jody catches her and Pop-Shove-It lands! Jody wins.
X Division Championship: Speedball Mike Bailey (c) vs Moose
Speedball is living up to his name and just coming out of the gate quick, Running Front Kicks, Triangle Moonsault to the outside, but as soon as Speedball panders to the crowd a little, Moose manages to catch him with a few kicks. Moose misses two Chops into the post though, so his left hand is already a target. They still fight on the outside, Drop Toe Hold from Bailey as Moose’s hand ricochets off the steps, Bailey goes for the PK, but misses! Let’s all remember Bailey wrestles barefoot, so…he just soccer kicked steps. That can’t feel good.
Since the match started with about 30 minutes left in the show, I’m not surprised about a commercial break. So when we get back, Moose is focusing the foot and leg, Bailey tries to fire off the ropes but Moose pops him onto his shoulders and just throws him into the corner buckles from the middle of the ring. Strong Irish Whip has Speedball looking more like a Pinball. Bailey blocks a charging Moose, perches and Moose tries the Go to Hell, but Bailey counters with a Frankensteiner! Running Shooting Star attempt but Moose rolls away and he gets up to just slam Bailey’s knee into the mat. Speedball goes for a fast Double Leg Cradle, but Moose gets out and Uranage bounces Bailey off the mat like a basketball.
Slowing things down, Moose goes for the Abdominal Stretch, tries to add leverage but Bailey manages to use the injured hand against Moose. A little back and forth as Moose Sunset Flips but Bailey blocks the grab from Moose and just executes the Backflip Knees! Moose takes an opportunistic shot at Bailey’s injured leg, and we go to another commercial. We come back and Moose flips Bailey onto the apron, Bailey manages a kick to rock Moose to the outside and lands a Springboard Corkscrew Senton. Rolls Moose back in, SHOOTING STAR PRESS…but only a two. Bailey ain’t Billy Kidman or Jushin Thunder Liger, so it’s not a finish. Both men start throwing strikes with their injured limb since its their go to strike. Chops from Moose, Round Kicks from Bailey, both start powering through the pain and go for the strikes harder before Bailey tries a few locomotion Cradle attempts but a GAME CHANGER levels Bailey! Moose tries to follow up and Bailey counters with a Code Red also only for two!
Moose retreats to the corner, Tornado Kick lands! Ultima Weapon set up but Moose hits the Million Dollar Drop Kick to counter! Both jockey with counters on the top before Bailey gets the best of things with an Avalanche Poison Rana! Bailey tries Ultima Weapon again, connects on a doubled over Moose…BUT MOOSE KICKS OUT! Tornado Kick attempt again, but Moose connects with LIGHTS OUT! Bailey powders, but Moose with another LIGHTS OUT on the outside! Moose throws Speedball back in the ring, flips off the crowd and slowly gets back in, third Lights Out attempt, but Small Package counter for two! Superkick from Bailey! Bailey goes for a Springboard Reverse Crossbody and Moose catches him midair with the Spear! Sets up…LIGHTS OUT! Moose is the X Division Champion!
Trent Seven comes out afterwards to console his tag team partner, but after a few feel good minutes, Trent with the Low Blow and a Seven Star Lariat!Â
Overall Score: 7/10
Fun vignettes, a pretty good TV main event even with two commercial breaks, a heel turn, solid story matches that weren’t atrocious and Trey Miguel’s best work to date. I love Wentz, but aside from the Dez references, Trey had the best lines in the Treehouse segment. Also First Cla$$ was pretty great with their reactions to Santana. And as I said during the article, Lish’s overselling of the neck and ridiculousness was actually fantastic.
So even if the match quality was a little underwhelming, and we got a filler From the Vaults match; given the reasons and potential alternatives…I was entertained the entire time. Really curious what the hell Rosemary will be doing now since she’s got abandonment issues and no longer in any title picture. But hey, questions are good to have, because it makes you want to know the answer.
Still a little sad that Hard to Kill might have been a Scott specific event. It really helped to kick off this resurgence and is so well named for the company that’s been around 22 years and everyone’s been saying is dead in the water for at least 15 of those years. Genesis is classic…but it ain’t Hard to Kill. Also we might get my goofy fantasy book idea of Feast or Fired World Title Briefcase, Option C, Gauntlet Trophy and Nemeth & Hendry being involved in a King of the Mountain match at Genesis. With so many “money in the bank” style concepts, the cluster of cash ins is bound to happen eventually.

“When I won this championship, I said that I was gonna push the Pure Division into a Renaissance. I said I was gonna make things interesting again, and now you’ve got one of the most decorated men in ROH’s history in Matt Taven entering the Pure Division to challenge me. So you’re welcome. But Matt, don’t get it twisted. There are levels to Pure Wrestling, and you are not on mine. So when we step in that ring, I’m going to show you that I am one of the best technical wrestlers in the world, because my name is Lee Moriarty, and this is Taiga Style.” Taven has been called out, will he and Lee tear it up in a historic title match?
Sammy Guevara w/ Dustin Rhodes VS Preston Vance!
The Sons of Texas may have Dutch & Vincent hunting them down, but they’re not hard to find. Sammy’s already back in this ring, ready to fight! Will the Spanish God show The Righteous they’re in over their heads? Or will Perro Peligroso take a bite out of an ROH World Tag Team Champion?

Dutch & Vincent are lurking, “Dig what I’m saying?” Dustin dares Vince & Dutch to show themselves! The Righteous have a match scheduled for later tonight, will The Sons of Texas have to find them then?
Backstage interview with Athena.
Lexy Nair, as she cradles the ROH Women’s World Championship belt, says that Athena has called this Emergency Minion Empowerment Meeting, aka MEM. Athena says, “That’s right, minions~!” Last week, she was in the main event Ring of Horrors match for Halloween, and she killed The Living Dead Girl! “Isn’t that right, Pwecious?” Athena baby talks to the title in Lexy’s arms, then spins the picture on the other belt as she says she is the FOREVER ROH Women’s Champion, the Minion Overlord, the Fallen Goddess, but it is time to take this even more worldwide!
A couple weeks ago, Athena beat some porcelain hussy in Canada. Now it’s time to beat hussies in The UK. Lexy says, “Ello!” France! “Bonjour!” India! “Namaste!” China! Uh… Nihao! Oh, Japan. Konnichiwa! Every porcelain hussy around the world is gonna shake in her boots, because “Watashi wa-” Oh, Billie Starkz steps in. And Athena says Bestie can handle this. Athena leaves, Lexy asks Billie if she’s here to apologize. Billie says Lexy told her Athena would forgive her first! Lexy said Athena probably would. Oh, yeah, that’s what Lexy said. Lexy says Billie needs to think this over in Minion Timeout.
Lexy leaves and Billie is seething. What is there for the follower to apologize for when the leader’s been the one going off the rails?
Rachael Ellering VS Diamante!
The Queen of Strong Smile wants to prove herself worthy of a championship, and the Cuban Diamond wants to redeem herself from losing her cool. Will Diamante keep her emotions in check? Or will she self-destruct like she did against Red Velvet?
The Code of Honor is upheld just barely, and the two circle with the bell. They tie up, Diamante waistlocks, then headlocks.

But Rachael runs Diamante over! The fans duel and Rachael smiles. Rachael runs, but steps over the dropdown! Rachael deadlifts Diamante, but Diamante escapes the gut wrench!
Diamante waistlocks, Rachael switches and shoves, to then gut wrench! The fans cheer as Rachel THROWS Diamante away! The fans cheer and Rachael says, “SQUISH~!” Rachael runs up to SENTON, onto knees! Rachael called her shot and that allowed Diamante to counter! Diamante runs up to stomp away in the corner! The ref counts, Diamante keeps going, but she stops at 4.5. Diamante drags Rachael onto ropes, to SCRAPE Rachael’s face off them! Diamante stomps and CHOPS Rachael in the corner, then fires forearms. The fans rally, the ref counts, and Diamante lets off with an UPPERCUT!
Diamante storms around, then runs in to HYDRAULIC DROPKICK! Cover, TWO! Rachael stays in this but Diamante talks trash. Diamante CLUBS away on Rachael, covers, TWO! Rachael survives and crawls away but Diamante follows. Diamante digs her boots in at the ropes! The ref reprimands, Diamante lets off, and Diamante fires knees. Diamante whips Rachael to the corner, runs up, but Rachael BOOTS her back! Rachael runs up to UPPERCUT! The fans fire up, and now Rachael gets to SQUISH Diamante! Cover, TWO! Diamante survives but Rachael stays cool. Rachael brings Diamante up to fireman’s carry.
Diamante CLAWS Rachael’s face! Diamante then BLINDSIDE LARIATS Rachael down! Rachael crawls, Diamante drags her up, CUBAN TWIST! Cover, Diamante wins!
Winner: Diamante, by pinfall
The emotions were in check, and that was checkmate for Rachael. Diamante calls out Red Velvet, so here comes Red Velvet from the crowd! Diamante turns around, Velvet TACKLES her! Velvet fires hands, then whips Diamante to CALF KICK! The fans fire up and Velvet holds up her red strap belt. But Diamante gets away before she gets hit! The Chef wants her own redemption, will she be the one to cook Diamante? Or will the Cuban Diamond hold it together the next time she’s under pressure?
Matt Taven speaks.
“Everyone’s gonna come in front of this camera and give you their opinion. Every wrestler that you’ve ever seen is going to state their opinion, and you know what they say about opinions. Everyone’s got one and they all stink. The reason why I’m so different is because I spit nothing but facts to you. Lee, I think you’re a fantastic wrestler and I’ll take nothing away from you. But you don’t realize who I am. You don’t realize there’s one man that can give you the facts and can say he’s a Grand Slam Champion, that can say he’s one away from completing the whole set. And he is I, and I am him, and I’m Matt Taven.
“And I hold nothing against you, Lee, like I said, but I’m looking at a puzzle that’s missing one piece. And a man with OCD like myself cannot stand looking at this puzzle that is missing one piece! And you have it! SO that Pure title, the one that has gotten away from me… All I need is to bring that home to my Kingdom. My Undisputed Kingdom.” Taven knows what makes Taiga Style dangerous, but will nothing stop Taven from becoming the first and ONLY ROH Five Star Champion?
The Righteous VS ???
Good ol’ Dutch & Vincent attacked Dustin & Sammy last week, and then gave a warning earlier tonight. But now- DUSTIN & SAMMY ATTACK! The Sons of Texas return the favor with their own ambush! Sammy rains down fists on Vinnie, Dutch and Dustin brawl! The fans fire up, the ref reprimands them, but Vinnie whips Sammy at the steps. Sammy stops himself, ELBOWS back, then goes up to FLYING CUTTERÂ to the floor! Dustin and Dutch keep throwing hands but then security rushes out. They do their best to separate the teams, but fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” Dustin breaks free, and fight is what we get!
The fans fire up as Dustin HAMMERS Dutch against railing! Sammy almost gets at Vinnie again, and Dutch is busted open! The ROH World Tag Team Champions control the ring now, but The Righteous love it! This is exactly what they wanted?! Are Dutch & Vinnie trying to drag Dustin & Sammy down into the darkness with them? Who rises up out of that abyss with the gold?
The Infantry talk backstage.
Carlie says, “This is a brilliant idea,” and Dean has the cameraman follow. The Infantry joins Shane Taylor & Lee Moriarty in the locker room, and they get everyone else to stand at attention. Guys, you all know them, this is Captain Dean and “Bad News & Tattoos” Bravo here. But what you might not know is, they don’t really like violence, not really their style. What? Carlie wants these guys to know that they are around some very violent men. Open your ears as Shane asks a question, and please be honest. Shane asks the group, “Who here has seen Dustin Rhodes?” The others aren’t sure, even though we just saw Dustin & Sammy at ringside…
Lee gets impatient and he BOOTS a guy right down! Carlie says he warned them. It would behoove them to answer. One guy says Dustin was at catering. Oh, is that so? The Infantry then beat up that guy and everyone else! And then TWO 2 THE HEAD! Shane then looks to the camera to tell “Mr. Rhodes” that he doesn’t like thieves. And Dustin is currently in possession of stolen property. This doesn’t stop until they get those items back. Rumble, bad man, rumble. Carlie hopes the guys have a good night. Will Dustin have to call on The Von Erichs for this one?
ROH Rewind – ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships: The Mexisquad VS Shane Taylor Promotions!
We flashback to February 19th, 2021, in Baltimore, Maryland for a big time ROH Wrestling TV main event! Shane had Bishop Kaun & Moses Maddox by his side that night as they took on Bandido, Flamita & Rey Horus! Will this match serve as a history lesson to Dustin & The Von Erichs here in 2024?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who made it out of “Bodymore” in one piece!
The Code of Honor is upheld, so there is still respect here. The trios then sort out, and Shane starts against Horus. But then STP rushes Mexisquad at the bell, so much for respect! The ref reprimands but STP TOSSES Mexisquad out in all directions! Moses sends Bandido into barriers, Kaun does the same to Flamita on the other end, and Shane keeps on Horus. Shane picks Horus up and TOSSES him to barriers! Bandido fires back on Moses, BOOTS him, but then Shane ROCKS Bandido! Kaun ROCKS Flamita, CHOPS him, but Flamita knees low! The ref reprimands everyone, but Mexisquad mugs Kaun and put him in.
Kaun RAMS Flamita and HOTSHOTS him! Kaun bumps Flamita off buckles, runs side to side, but Flamita dodges! Roll up, roll through, 619 to the back! Flamita SOBATS, KICKS, but Kaun blocks a kick. Kaun FLIPS Flamita, Flamita lands out and ENZIGIRIS! Flamita runs, but into a kick! Kaun runs, into a RANA! Flamita DROPKICKS Kaun and Kaun flounders away. Tag to Moses and things reset. Moses talks trash, but Flamita backs off to tag Bandido. Bandido slingshots in. then stares Moses down. Bandido fires forearms, but Moses knees low! Moses runs, but Bandido drops, hurdles, and DROPKICKS!
Moses stays up! Bandido is a bit surprised, and things speed up. Moses drops, hurdles, and he CLOBBERS Bandido! Moses is all fired up and commentary can’t believe he even got up that high! Moses runs up again, but Bandido goes Matrix, then hits the slow-mo kip up! Bandido dodges Moses, shoves him to ropes, then follows to spin and wrench, spin and CUTTER! Moses scrambles, hot tag to Shane! Bandido backs off to tag in Horus. Horus sees just how big Shane is, but he dodges Shane to SOBAT, KICK, repeat! Then ROLLING ELBOW! Shane stays up, he blocks the whip, and he whips Horus. Horus goes up and up and backflips over!
Horus hurdles Shane, goes up and out to then HOTSHOT Shane! Horus goes up top to then FLYING RAN- NO! Shane stops the rana, swings Horus up and then throws him! Horus lands out, ducks ‘n’ dodges, then runs, but into a FLAPJACK! Shane winds up, but Horus dodges! Horus comes back, but Shane CLOBBERS him! STP stands tall, and this is where ROH TV took its break.
ROH TV returned as Kaun tags Moses. They put Horus in a corner, then whips corner to corner. Horus goes up and over, swings on Kaun, but Kaun shoves him to Moses. Horus wheelbarrows Moses, Moses hands Horus to Kaun, but Horus RANAS Kaun away! Horus then avoids Moses’ SENTON, Moses FLOPS on the mat! Horus BOOTS Moses from a corner, goes up and up, then SPRINGBOARD FLYING DDT! Both men are down and their teams reach out. Horus and Moses crawl, hot tags to Shane and Bandido! Bandido dodges Shane to fire haymaker after haymaker! But Shane ROCKS Bandido back! Bandido BOOTS Shane, UPPERCUTS, then goes up, to TORNILLO!
Shane catches Bandido! Bandido slips free, slides under, BOOTS, ENZIGIRIS, tag to Flamita! Flamita gets a boost to FLYING RANA Shane! Shane tumbles out, Bandido & Flamita DOUBLE DROPKICK Kaun & Moses. Flamita then builds speed, to DIVE! Direct hit but STP stays standing! So Bandido DIVES! And then Horus DIVES! The hattrick sends STP tumbling! Bandido coordinates with Flamita & Horus, Mexisquad unleashes the DOUBLE TOP CONJILO with the ASAI MOONSAULT down the middle! All six men are down, and if only fans were here in person! COVID was truly cruel, but surely fans would say this is awesome!
Flamita has Shane in the ring, then he climbs up. 450 SPLASH! Cover, Moses breaks it! Bandido runs in, hooks Moses and V-TRIGGER! Kaun runs up, Horus kicks low! Mexisquad mugs Kaun, brings him around, and double whip. They drop, bypass, and DOUBLE ELBOW Kaun! Then they stand Kaun up to feed into a TU LO SABE BOMB!! Bandido stands Kaun back up so Flamita can SOBAT, Horus can KICK, and then Bandido runs to tilt-o-whirl with Flamita, SWINGING LEG SWEEP! Kaun is down, Bandido puts him in the drop zone. Flamita runs, FLAPJACK SPLASH! Cover, Moses breaks it again!
Moses runs but into DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Shane runs up, KNEES Horus low and TOSSES him aside! Bandido ROCKS Shane, Flamita joins in, and they stand Shane up to fire shots. Horus runs, tilt-o-whirls with Bandido, but Shane switches with Flamita so Flamita takes the POP-UP DDT!! Mexisquad freaks out, but Bandido runs up on Shane. Shane blocks a kick and sends it into Horus! Shane gets that leg back, FLIPS Bandido and KNEES him down! Moses runs in to DOUBLE LARIAT Bandido y Horus up and out! Then Moses goes up and out to CANNONBALL them both to the floor! Shane hits Flamita with an URENAGE!
Shane runs to SPLASH DOWN! Cover, TWO!! Flamita survives, but Shane hauls him right up! Scoop and WELCOME TO THE LAND!! Cover, STP WINS!
Winners: Shane Taylor Promotions, by pinfall (NEW ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions)
And this is why in 2024, Shane says these titles are HIS property. Granted, STP would lose these belts nine months later at Final Battle 2021, but that means Shane’s been missing these belts for three years. Will Shane and the new STP look to get these belts back come Final Battle 2024?
My Thoughts:
A very good episode but an hour and 50, partially because of the ROH Rewind, I just couldn’t get the time or energy on this one to really watch it all. A lot of obvious outcomes, really one of those episodes that feels more like AEW Dark is back than ROH. I will say, good integration of stories between AEW and ROH, though. Nick Wayne and AR Fox each won very competitive matches, but then Nick of course goes after Fox after his match to build heat for their match on Collision this week. There’s a chance Hook gets involved so that Fox wins and that pisses Christian Cage off. Plus, with how Christian is already starting to favor Kip Sabian more than Nick, Christian could start belittling Nick like he did Luchasaurus.
Very good match from Rachael VS Diamante, and Diamante won because clearly she and Red Velvet are having a rematch. I would hope they make the rematch into a No Disqualification match after that really confusing finish the last time. Leyla had a solid return win, I feel like she’ll be waiting on the other side of Velvet VS Diamante. I like that “LEE-J” is the official tag team name for Nduka & Johnson, and they got a very good win tonight. Sammy VS Vance was solid stuff, but of course Sammy won. And I for one appreciate that Dustin & Sammy get payback on The Righteous so that it’s one less actual match on the card tonight.
Though, there’s some redundancy in this show that makes me wonder if they just mashed segments from different taping sessions together. Righteous didn’t need to spook Dustin & Sammy if they were having their match later, and really, the attack from Dustin & Sammy should’ve been THE segment between them this week. Then while we got great stuff from Shane Taylor Promotions, there was also some redundancy as they now build towards a Six Man title story with The Sons of Texas. Shane didn’t need to ask about Dustin when we all saw Dustin & Sammy go after The Righteous. In a vacuum, Infantry showing more Heel personality by beating up the randos is good, but we should’ve gotten this instead of opening with Infantry beating jobbers.
My Score: 8.5/10
