The champions stand tall, but now they’ll have to go to the extreme! Can they defeat the Lone Wolf and his Lady when the rules are thrown out the window?

But speaking of, Baron Corbin attacks Rollins from behind! Becky throws hands on Corbin but Lacey returns with a Woman’s Right! Corbin goes after Rollins more! Referees back them off, but will this sneak attack ensure Corbin and Lacey are the new champions? Worse yet, Paul Heyman is on Raw! Is the Beast here, too?!

 

Raw returns to Corbin and Lacey backstage.

The two have a good laugh over what they just did to Rollins and Becky. The “lovebirds” are down, because love makes you blind. Who knows what happens to them when Becky loses Seth’s title. Or when Seth loses Becky’s title. This might end their relationship. But this is why Lacey and Corbin are a true power couple: it’s not about love, it’s business. Love is just a liability. Like that song, Love Stinks.

 

Paul Heyman is in the ring!

The Advocate introduces himself then gets to business. The PPV this weekend is titled, “Extreme Rules.” Heyman knows something about getting extreme. The PPV is going to be in Philadelphia. Heyman knows a lot about being extreme in Philly. So this Sunday, at Extreme Rules in Philly, his client will cash-in on either the WWE World or Universal Champions. That’s not a prediction, that’s a spoiler. He hasn’t failed to follow through on a spoiler even once. So if he wanted to ever put his reputation on the line, this might be the time he lies. So either he is telling the truth or is bluffing. Only he knows the answer. Well, him and the future reigning, defending, undisputed universal and/or world champion, Brock Lesnar. The stakes have been raised, will either champion survive this Sunday?

 

Raw announces a major Extreme Rules PPV match!

Despite last week’s insane and literally explosive ending to a Falls Count Anywhere match that hospitalized both Braun Strowman and Bobby Lashley, they’re not finished with each other yet! The Monster Among Men and the Rocky Mountain Machine both swear to be there in Philly to settle this in a LAST MAN STANDING MATCH! Will there be anything left of either man when all is said and done?

 

Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre talk with a janitor?

The word is that this particular janitor is the Best Garbage Man in the World. Well Shane is The Best in the World, so Tony here should be Roman Reigns’ tag partner. Tony isn’t so sure about that, but Shane and McIntyre will check on him later. Because apparently, Shane actually gets to choose Roman’s partner! Just how badly can Shane stack the deck this time?

 

2 Out of 3 Falls Six Man Tag: The Miz & The Usos VS Elias & The Revival!

The Hollywood A-Lister joins forces with Jimmy & Jey to continue feuds with The Drifter and the #TopGuys! Will Miz help the Usos put Shane’s cronies on #LockDown? Or will Elias, Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder manage to break out of this Most Must-See Penitentiary?

Raw returns as the Usos make their entrance. “Hey, Uce! Check it out!” They’re teaming with The Miz! Miz got rid of Shane, now he’s on a real team. The Revival will lose those titles on Sunday to give way to seven-time champs, Uce! And Elias better like singing the blues, because he’s gonna get locked down with they asses! Miz and the Usos hit the ring and the tension already runs high. Teams sort out and Dawson starts with Jimmy.

Raw returns as Jimmy crawls to a corner. The bell rings to start the second fall, and Dash runs in at Jimmy! Jimmy dodges and sends Dash into buckles! Jimmy crawls but Dash tags Dawson.

Raw catches up with Mr. & Mrs. Maverick.

Drake couldn’t help but celebrate being champion, no matter where he went with Renee Michelle. He was also all in for the Fourth of July, despite being British. Drake’s celebrating definitely got on Renee’s nerves, and couldn’t understand why he had to have the belt in every picture. What about a picture of the two of them? They took one by the Jaws attraction at Universal Studios, but the belt got in the way of Renee… The honeymoon enters its next phase: right here in Newark, New Jersey!

Renee Michelle watches guard backstage while Drake Maverick hides in a trunk. He’s clearly borrowing ideas from Truth. And she is annoyed again. Their honeymoon was in Orlando, where they live, and now she’s his bodyguard?! He knows this isn’t ideal, but they’re here together, right? Him, her, and the WWE 24/7 Championship. There’s a lot of room in the crate, if she wants to join him, wink wink. She’s not going for that.

Okay, after tonight, he’ll have shown the world how great a champion he is, then he’ll show her how great a husband he is with a real honeymoon. She agrees that then and only then will they consummate the marriage. Maverick is so excited to finally get it on with his wife! Uh oh, the horde has come! Maverick runs as dozens of Raw superstars come running. Will Maverick be able to keep up his part of the bargain?

 

Shane and Drew now talk to the Best Beer Server in the World.

This is a huge opportunity to be considered for Roman’s partner. Say thank you. “Thank you, Mr. McMahon.” NO, it’s Mr. Best in the World. “Thank you, Mr. Best in the World.” Who else will Shane consider to team with The Big Dog in their Extreme Rules appetizer?

 

Open Challenge: Rey Mysterio VS ???

The King of Lucha Libre is back at 100%! And he returns to Raw tonight to prove he’s still got it. “I’ma keep it short and simple. Because I stood in this ring six weeks ago,” and did the hardest thing ever: surrendered the WWE United States Championship. The doctors told him it’d be a long time before he could return, but he refused. Mysterio rehabbed harder and grew hungrier than he has in a long time. He beat the predictions, and now he’s back! Mysterio wants to compete against anyone willing and able, hence this open challenge! Who will it be?! Bobby Lashley!? The Rocky Mountain Machine makes his own miraculous return! Is Lashley going to make mince meat out of Mysterio before going after the Monster Among Men?

The minute Lashley gets in the ring, Mysterio attacks! Lashley shoves him away, the bell rings, and Mysterio kicks and punches away! Mysterio runs, ducks under Lashley and dropkicks a leg out. He runs again, but into a scoop! Lashley carries Mysterio, but Mysterio turns it into a DDT! Mysterio dropkicks Lashley onto the ropes, then dials it up! 619 hits! Lashley staggers and Mysterio climbs, but he leaps into an elevated complete shot! Lashley glares as he builds up speed to SPEAR Mysterio down! Cover, Lashley wins!

Winner: Bobby Lashley, by pinfall

Lashley looks at almost 100%! And then he throws Mysterio out of the ring! Lashley shows no mercy as he drags Mysterio up by his mask! He drags Mysterio up the ramp and to the stage. Lashley stares at the same spot he and Strowman crashed through last week, and hoists Mysterio up. Th ref reprimands Lashley but Lashley drops Mysterio. But then he hauls him back up, to throw him onto the referees! And he’s not done, as he grabs a mic. “Braun Strowman, last week I was the first- No, the only man standing! And you better believe I will be the last man standing!” Will this superhuman super villain dominate Strowman unlike anyone ever before?

 

Raw returns to a backstage interview with The Club.

Charly Caruso specifically asks AJ Styles about beating down Ricochet after their match last week. Styles doesn’t owe anyone an explanation. “Get out my face.” Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows also refuse to comment. They go into their team locker room. Will Gallows’ actions speak for him when he takes on the One and Only later?

 

No Way Jose VS Cesaro!

This match was meant to happen last week, but considering the then WWE 24/7 Champion, R-Truth, was a part of the conga line, things got a bit crazy. And in that chaos, the Swiss Cyborg attacked the Fighting Fiesta and brutalized him just outside the ring! Will Jose get revenge for that here tonight? Or will it just be more of the same from Cesaro?

The conga line runs scared from Cearo, for good reason. Jose leaps out at Cesaro and throws hands! Jose bumps Cesaro of steps then into barriers! He puts Cesaro back in but the ref keeps him back. Cesaro catches his breath and the bell rings, but he runs into a back drop! Jose throws big hands on Cesaro, then whips to ropes. Cesaro ducks and throws a BIG European Uppercut! Then he boots Jose into a corner for more! Cesaro throws EuroUppers from all sides, then gut wrench suplexes Jose down! Cesaro dusts off his hands while Jose crawls to ropes. The Swiss Cyborg takes Jose for a swing! Then into the Sharpshooter! Jose endures but can’t escape, he taps out! Cesaro wins!

Winner: Cesaro, by submission

Cesaro lets go when he’s satisfied, and shouts out The Bar with his sideways thumb. Will Cesaro continue to raise the bar on the Raw roster?

 

The Street Profits are back on Raw!

They’re backstage, beatboxing, until they notice the cameras. “Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today for a very special reminder.” Don’t cross Cesaro or you’ll end up upside down. Plug the Network! Right, this Sunday, streaming live, it’s Extreme Rules! The Scottish Psychopath and the BEST, in the WOOOORLD, SHANE MCMAAAHON join forces to take on The Big Dog, Roman Reigns, and… The Undertaker!! Who you got winning? Taker been digging holes. But he and Roman gonna take souls. #HolesandSouls. But wait, Roman has to make it to Sunday. Shane is picking Roman’s partner. And if Taker shows up, he’s done. But Shane could pick anyone? Anyone. Like Kawhi? Yeah, anyone. But that’s all the time they have. The Profits cue the transition.

 

Mike tries to make things up to Maria.

He is very very sorry about last week, he hasn’t been himself, but he is so excited to have another baby. Mike loves her, and Maria loves him. They go back and forth with their cutesy “I love you more,” but then Maria says, “Ice cream.” What? Maria demands ice cream. And pickles. Okay, non-fat ice cream. Is he saying she’s fat? No, he’s saying there won’t be fat on the ice cream! He hurries away, while Maria scowls and wonders what kind of man taps out to a woman. Is there still really love between these two?

 

Raw holds titantron interviews with Bayley and Nikki Cross.

Both women will be in a Beat the Clock Challenge, and the winner of the challenge determines the stipulation for the SmackDown Women’s Championship match at Extreme Rules PPV between Bayley and Alexa Bliss. This interview right now is to ask Nikki’s feelings of winning for Alexa gain. The pressure is definitely on. Nikki owes so much to Alexa, and isn’t sure where she’d be without her. Seriously? Bayley can’t believe Nikki doesn’t see how Alexa is using Nikki! Alexa does that! This is what Alexa does! Nikki is the only reason Alexa has the title match, and will be the only reason Alexa can get an advantage at Extreme Rules. Nikki explodes over Bayley running Alexa down. Alexa was right about Bayley being jealous! This only motivates Nikki to shut Bayley up!

Micahel Cole keeps the peace as he explains the challenge rules. The fastest match is the winner. Bayley will face Sarah Logan while Nikki Cross takes on Dana Brooke. Bayley remembers the Riott Squad. Sarah loves being chaotic, but Bayley isn’t afraid of chaos. Sarah better bring her best because the SmackDown Women’s Champion vows to pick her stipulation. As for Nikki, she won’t lie that Dana is stronger but she’s not tougher. Nikki needs this for Alexa’s sake! Which woman beats the clock? #LetsPlay!

 

Raw returns to R-Truth and Carmella searching.

They’re clearly looking for Drake Maverick and the WWE 24/7 Championship. He’s not in a trunk, nor under it. He’s not in the trash, around it, or under desks. But wait. Maybe he’s in a drawer! No, he can’t fit in that. You never know! Truth just wants his baby back. Maverick better not be showing her no scary movies. The title needs Truth. Truth is always on the go. The hands on the clock be moving too slow. Truth wants to be alone with his baby tonight. Wait there he goes! And the rest of the Raw roster. Hurry! Fabulous Truth, GO! Wait that’s the wrong direction, Truth!

 

The Viking Raiders VS Colin & Devin Justin!

The war returns to Raw! Erik and Ivar are still climbing the ranks of the tag team division, will this newest raid help them reach title contention?

The bell rings and Erik starts with Colin. He throws Colin down then German Suplexes him away! Devin tags in and runs, but into a scoop and backbreaker! Then Erik rag dolls Devin into a gutbuster! Tag to Ivar, gut wrench bomb to Ivar’s giant splash! Cover, but Ivar drags Devin up! Erik and Ivar grin, wanting to have some fun with the Justin brothers. Erik throws Colin in and then tags. The Vikings take a brother each, Erik gives them a powerslam powerbomb combo! Then Dustin is fed to THOR’S HAMMER! Cover, the Viking Raiders win!

Winners: The Viking Raiders, Erik pinning

The raid is successful again, but here comes that WWE 24/7 title chase! The other superstars rush the ring only to be thrown out by the Vikings! Hawkins runs into Ivar’s seated senton! Truth wants at Maverick but he encounters the Vikings first. The other superstars go around the ring, and Truth bails out. Truth and Carmella head out again, will they head Maverick off at the pass?

 

Raw returns to a backstage interview with Roman Reigns.

Clearly, Shane McMahon wants to play around, and is going to stick Roman with a partner of his choosing. Who does Roman think Shane chooses? Roman doesn’t know. Roman doesn’t care. But he knows that the master of mind games is on his side at Extreme Rules.

 

Ricochet VS Luke Gallows w/ The Club!

The Phenomenal One lit a fire under the Good Brothers, and they lit one under him. AJ Styles didn’t beat the One and Only when the title was on the line, but then he and the Good Brothers #BeatUpRicochet! There will be another go for the gold at Extreme Rules, can ol’ Doc Gallows soften Ricochet up for Styles? Or will Ricochet be ready to be better than phenomenal?

Ricochet makes his entrance and speaks on what happened as of late. It seems that when Styles congratulated him on beating Samoa Joe and then challenged him to a match, Ricochet was ready to prove himself. Ricochet did prove himself. But then the celebration was ruined by a beating. The title is on the line Sunday, but we know what happens tonight. Gallows has Anderson and Styles, so Ricochet figures he’ll fight all three. The Club make their entrance together, and Styles grabs a mic for himself. “Hey, Ricochet! Thanks for reminding us who you are.” But Styles gives him some advice: the WWE moves pretty quickly, so slow down and appreciate the moment. Ricochet might as well, because Gallows is going to stomp a mudhole in him,.

As speaking of appreciating moments, let’s appreciate last week’s moment! Footage replays to review how close Styles came to winning, and how Ricochet managed to survive. And most importantly, it rubs in what the Club did to Ricochet after the match. The bell rings and Gallows circles with Ricochet. Ricochet ducks the punch to throw hands of his own. He backs Gallows down then whips but Gallows reverses. Gallows runs into a boot, and Ricochet leaps into a CHOKE SLAM! The Club cheers Gallows on and Gallows grins as he covers. TWO, but Gallows keeps on Ricochet with hands in the corner. Gallows lets up at the ref’s count, then brings Ricochet out. Ricochet throws hands back, but he runs into a BOOT!

The Club gloats and trash talks as Gallows drives elbows into Ricochet’s shoulders. Gallows wraps on a chinlock and Ricochet endures. Fans rally up for Ricochet and he works his way up. Ricochet fights back but Gallows clubs him down. Gallows drags Ricochet up by his beard to headbutt him back down. The Club taunts Ricochet more as Gallows stands Ricochet up. Gallows stomps and uppercuts Ricochet, then whips him corner to corner again. Ricochet puts a boot up and enziguris Gallows away, only to run into a LARIAT! Styles is hyped to watch his pal beat down Ricochet. They all throw up Too Sweets but fans boo and jeer. Gallows scoops Ricochet but Ricochet sunset flips, to win!!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

The King of Flight didn’t even need to fly, he just snags one from the egotistical Gallows! But Styles won’t let it end here. As Ricochet said, he’ll fight the three of them! Which means next up, it’s the Machine Gun, Karl Anderson! Unless Ricochet isn’t man enough! Ricochet accepts, and that match is after the break!

 

Ricochet VS Karl Anderson w/ The Club!

Raw returns and this match begins! Styles distracts Ricochet so that Anderson can attack! Anderson throws Ricochet around then whips, but Ricochet holds ropes. Ricochet elbows Anderson away but Anderson whips him again. Ricochet boots Anderson then hops out to springboard in, flying clothesline! Cover, TWO!

Anderson whips Ricochet again to run him over hard with an elbow! Cover, TWO! Anderson smothers Ricochet with a chinlock, but fans rally up. Ricochet fights his way up but Anderson wrangles him down hard.

Ricochet endures as Anderson cranks the chinlock. Fans rally and Ricochet powers up again. Ricochet fights out and throws hands, then whips. Anderson reverses but Ricochet rolls off his back to run again, for a tilt-o-whirl headscissor! Ricochet throws hands on Anderson more, then mule kicks to a big haymaker! He runs but into Anderson’s SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Anderson keeps his cool as he drags Ricochet up by his nose! Anderson throws EuroUppers and pulls on Ricochet’s ears as he trash talks. He throws another uppercut, then runs, into the dropkick-flip and enziguri! Styles swipes at Ricochet, Anderson blasts Ricochet with an uppercut!

Anderson whips again but Ricochet dodges to FLY! Ricochet gets Gallows as Styles gets clear. Ricochet shoulders at Anderson then moonsaults onto Styles! He gets back in and dodges Anderson! Anderson hits the post, and Ricochet runs corner to corner for a big dropkick! Anderson is down and Ricochet climbs up! Ricochet aims, 630 senton! Cover, Ricochet wins again!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

But Styles and Gallows attack! The Club won’t let Ricochet have any momentum going into Extreme Rules as they beat him down again! Styles drags Ricochet up for a BRAIN BUSTER! Then he has the Club drag Ricochet up again, for MAGIC KILLER! But that’s still not enough. Styles to recreate last week, and the Club hoist Ricochet up for him on the second rope. But then Styles drops Ricochet to talk instead. “Hey, I’m a good guy.” He’ll leave enough of Ricochet left so that he can make it to Extreme Rules to lose the title. So stay down.

The Club starts to leave, but Ricochet doesn’t stay down. So they go back and grab Ricochet. Anderson and Gallows hold Ricochet still for the Phenomenal Forearm! The Club throw up Too Sweets, but will Styles be holding up the United States Championship?

 

Raw takes a look at the Evolve Wrestling 10th Anniversary!

The place where so many current WWE and NXT superstars came from celebrates a full decade of action! That special event is on the WWE Network this Saturday, featuring great matches of Evolve’s past, present and future!

 

Maverick finally finds his way back to Renee Michelle.

He’s so sorry,b ut he did it! They can go now! Maverick survived the night! But wait, how did Truth and a ref get in the trunk Renee was sitting on? “Hornswoggle! That’s my baby!” Carmella pops out of the other and says, “Get him!” Truth carries the referee while Carmella follows after. The chase continues right past Bayley. Will Maverick really survive the night as champion?

 

Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre find Roman’s partner.

They talk with the janitor with a limp as he goes into the restroom. Is this going to be the match-up we see later tonight?

Raw returns as Shane offers the janitor $5000. Gary the janitor would love that. They explain it’s to be in the match with Roman, all Gary has to do is stand on the corner. Maybe put a mask on him so no one knows who he is. The deal is struck, but will Gary really have to do nothing for the five grand?

Beat the Clock Challenge: Nikki Cross VS Dana Brooke!

Raw returns and all Dana has to do is play defense! Can she run the clock down to help Bayley win the challenge? Or will a devoted and determined Nikki Cross be too much for her?

The bell rings and the clock counts down. Dana bails out to troll Nikki and flex, but then comes back to refresh the count. Nikki loses her cool as Bayley high-fives with Dana.

Nikki slingshot dropkicks then covers, ONE! Dana gets Nikki in a cover, TWO! Nikki decks Dana then drags her around for a rain of right hands! She drags Dana up to throw her into buckles then stomp away. Nikki hoists Dana up top, but Dana hops off to throw Nikki down! Dana climbs up top and leaps, only to FLOP!

Nikki covers but Dana tricks her, TWO! Dana fireman’s carries but Nikki slips out to backslide! Dana rolls through and rolls Nikki up, TWO! Nikki kicks low then hits the PURGE! Cover, Nikki wins!!

Winner: Nikki Cross, by pinfall, with 1 minute 50 seconds to spare

Nikki wins and Alexa gets to choose the stipulation! Bayley gives it up to Nikki, she won fair and square. What will Alexa choose? Nikki takes a mic to speak now! “Bayley, come here. Because I’ve got something that I want to say to you. And I want to say it to your face!” Bayley does enter the ring to hear Nikki out. Nikki says that for the last few weeks, Bayley’s been trying to say Alexa isn’t Nikki’s friend. But Nikki thinks the real problem is Bayley doesn’t know what real friendship is. But that’s okay! Because Nikki will show Bayley what friendship means at Extreme Rules, when Alexa lets Nikki make the title match a HANDICAP MATCH! Oh so that Nikki can literally win the title for Alexa…

“And here’s some free advice for you.” Bayley can find herself a friend, someone as loyal and honest as Alexa. Someone to really slap some sense into Bayley! Bayley SLAPS Nikki! Nikki is furious, but she runs into a Bayley2Belly! Bayley doesn’t end there, she drags Nikki to a corner and climbs up. MACHO ELBOW! The SmackDown Women’s Champion sends a message back to Alexa via Nikki, but can she survive when The Goddess has her “friend” there to fight with her?

 

Raw returns as Mike returns with the ice cream and pickles.

But now Maria is furious. She can’t be eating ice cream, she’d get fat! She wants to know if Mike would still want to impregnate her if she wasn’t pregnant. Of course! He would do that right now! Well he will never impregnate her again. And she’s not even sure if he did it this time. GASP! Does that mean what he thinks he means? She just screams at him and throws the flowers. Is Mike not the baby daddy this time!?

 

Corey Graves has an exclusive interview with Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch.

The Universal and Raw Women’s Champions are still seething over the attack from Corbin and Lacey. How is their relationship going to affect this coming match and vice-versa? How would it feel if Becky cost Seth his title? Or how it would feel if Seth costs Becky her title? This must be rough to mix work and personal life. Well isn’t this nice? Corey sits behind the desk being all emo but now he’s trying to be a proper journalist? Becky makes one thing clear: she backs up her words, Rollins backs up his. The only difference is that Extreme Rules won’t have rules> And when #ManSquare is done with Corbin and Lacey, they’re done with Corbin and Lacey! And then Rollins and Becky will roll on as champs. “What she said.”

 

The Street Profits return again.

Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins finish watching replays from SmackDown, when Kofi Kingston not only refused Samoa Joe’s “truce” handshake, but gave a middle finger back, then decked Joe with Trouble in Paradise. “Daaaaaaayum.” Kofi got up in Joe’s grill like the Fourth of July cookout. IF YA SMELLLLL~ No! No impersonating The Rock. Fine… But LIVE at Extreme Rules, Kofi VS Joe, who wins? Kofi’s their guy. But even they don’t want to mess with Joe. Then what about #WinnersTakeAll Mixed Tag? Rollins & Lynch VS Corbin & Lacey? Duh, Baron Corbin. … GOTTEE! Oh man, dang! You can’t do that, you’ll get booed. Well even Mama Corbin is against him. Besides, two words: Becky Lynch! The Man and Her Man want the smoke. #WeWanttheSmoke!

 

Roman Reigns & ??? VS Shane McMahon & Drew McIntyre!

The deal was struck to make things that much harder on Roman Reigns this close to Extreme Rules and the No Holds Barred tag match. Roman makes his entrance first, then Shane and McIntyre are next. They have mics to first make Mike Rome give a proper introduction for “The BEST, in the WOOOOOOOOOOooorld, SHANE, McMAAAHON!” Shane knows Roman knows he’s the best, because he won at Super Showdown 1, 2, 3. And then they’ll do this again as an example for their match with Taker and Roman. McIntyre adds that unlike “all these idiots” in Newark, McIntyre has always been able to look through Roman. Roman plays the nice guy, but he has no respect for anyone. Not Shane, not authority, only himself.

But McIntyre makes a promise: tonight, like Sunday, McIntyre will beat respect into Roman. But for now, the fans will shut up and listen to what Shane has to say. Without further ado, Roman’s partner has been found! Shane introduces us to, “the Fifth Grade Spelling Bee Champion, the Three Time Prudential Employee of the Month,” Gary “The Goat” Garbett! Gary wears a lucha mask as he limps out and holds his stomach. Does he have a nervous stomach from walking out here? This “tag” match starts after one last break.

Raw returns and McIntyre starts with Roman. Roman throws clotheslines and whips, but McIntyre reverses only to get the leaping lariat! Roman runs Shane off but walks into McIntyre’s boots. McIntyre runs but into Samoan Drop! Roman locks ‘n’ loads already, but McIntyre kicks the Superman Punch away. Roman still uppercuts, but gets a Glasgow Kiss. But as Roman stumbles back, he tags in Gary!? McIntyre throws Roman into the post, and now Gary has to come in. McIntyre throws Gary in and Shane wants a tag! He gets his tag, and then shuffles around. Fans rally for Gary as Gary goes to the apron. Shane drags Gary up but Gary swing kicks Shane back! And springboards to clothesline Shane down!?

McIntyre runs in but Gary dodges and handsprings for a… Neuralizer?! Gary fires off on Shane, and swings a big back elbow! Gary runs to FLY and take McIntyre out! And he hurries back to the ring, to springboard for a crossbody! Shane is down but McIntyre gives Gary a CLAYMORE! Shane covers, Shane and McIntyre win!

Winners: Shane McMahon and Drew McIntyre, Shane pinning

The Best in the World is furious, but Roman SUPERMAN PUNCHES McIntyre down! Shane runs away and brings McIntyre with him. They’ll wait for Extreme Rules and No Holds Barred. The mask is pulled off, and it wasn’t Gary the janitor, it was Cedric Alexander! Will Alexander pay for tricking Shane? Will Shane and McIntyre pay for thinking they could humiliate Roman when Roman has the Phenom on his side?

 


 

My Thoughts:

Well it seems not even Paul Heyman can completely reverse Go-Home Syndrome. Vince McMahon must have still had a lot to say about what went on this episode, basically tying Heyman’s hands creatively speaking. There was still good stuff, but this was not at all like what we got last week. I do like that Heyman got to at least give us a “This is a spoiler. Or is it?!” promo to keep everyone guessing. Opening with the Mixed Tag was a surprise, I thought it was going to be the main event, but they organized the order of things nicely. The action was good, too, though obviously the only reason for the small brawl of Becky and Lacey was to give us that break. This “no wrestling during commercials” decree is still hurting things.

However, the matches are still good. The 2 Out of 3 Falls Six Man Tag is definitely something rare for WWE, and it was obviously so they could get one fall in before a commercial break. Elias, The Revival, The Usos and The Miz all did great. But again, the only problem is that the way WWE does 2 Out of 3 Falls is that either the first or second fall is really short just so we can get to the third fall sooner. Miz and Usos win so Miz can stay strong while we wait for a proper conclusion with Shane, and so the Usos can go in strong against Revival for the tag titles. This match didn’t necessarily hurt The Revival since Elias abandoned them, but I can’t say they retain, either. Both teams are great, so their tag match could go either way.

I knew Strowman and Lashley were going to be booked with superhuman resilience by having a match at Extreme Rules, but I didn’t think Lashley would be back to action here, and just to beat down the returning Mysterio. This seems more Vince’s choice than Heyman’s because he wants Lashley and Strowman to reach a new superhuman level just because. I’m thinking Strowman wins since he’s been winning against Lashley this whole time, and because Lashley stood tall against Mysterio. As for Mysterio, it’s not clear where he’s going now that he’s back from injury. He might circle back to the US Championship even though he’s already checked off his WWE Grand Slam.

The building story of Ricochet and The Club is going well, actually. Oddly, Styles firing The Club up hasn’t stopped them from losing. Gallows and Anderson were both fodder for Ricochet to build up only for The Club to all beat him down. The US Championship match could go either way, which is actually a good thing. Cesaro obviously puts No Way Jose away fast, and Jose’s not so clean move through the ropes didn’t help anything. Cesaro might circle back to Ricochet which makes me think Ricochet retains. The Kanellis story keeps going, and builds to where many assumed it would go: Who is Maria’s baby daddy? This better not be another Anonymous Raw GM type disappointment, but knowing Vince, that’s still a big possibility.

The great story of the night was the 24/7 Championship. So many great little gags, and despite her character being so against Maverick’s obsession, clearly Renee Michelle is all in on this. There has to be something where she either costs Maverick the title or somehow takes the title for her own, same as fans have wanted to see from Carmella. The SmackDown Women’s Championship story is still doing alright, and at least going down a logical path. For one, it was good to see Sarah Logan back on Raw, but she’ll need a new theme to separate herself from the Riott Squad. Then, Nikki Cross not only won the challenge for Alexa tonight, she could literally win the title for Alexa in their Handicap Match. And with Bayley standing tall tonight, Alexa and Nikki might actually do just that.

As for the sampler of Shane & McIntyre VS Roman and a random partner, this didn’t seem that necessary. It was just more excuses for Shane to have TV time during each other, looking at different non-wrestler partners for Roman to be put with. But as expected, the final choice wasn’t the real partner at all. This was a great opportunity for Alexander to actually be in a match since coming to Raw, but it wasn’t going to be enough because he’s still not at a McIntyre level. Shane and McIntyre win but Roman stands tall, so the math is muddy enough that Taker really will have to be the deciding factor. And I’m pretty sure that means Roman and Taker win. And the hopefully when it comes to Roman and Shane, they’re done and Roman can focus on SmackDown stuff.

My Score: 7.8/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.13.2025

Two title matches, against opponents that….well…you wouldn’t expect. Let’s see how it goes!

Published

on

Well TNA hasn’t done a bad job at splicing in the NXT talent with the TNA talent, while keeping things building and looking interesting. I’ve heard a few complaints about TNA not explaining who the NXT talents are, but that’s irrelevant. WWE is the biggest show in the game, no one needs to talk about the more established brand. If you don’t know who some of the NXT talent is, that is a you problem. It’s not like a certain other brand that randomly debuts Indy talent who only regional or super hardcore fans have heard of. Everyone from NXT in this crossover has been established on WWE programing before.

So I like where things are going, lets see if the momentum continues!

Ratings:

  • TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Joe Hendry (c) vs Jake Something: Joe retains via Standing Ovation – ***
  • Elegance Clique (Heather & Ash) vs King Bees: Elegance wins via Seated Springboard Spanish Fly – ** 1/4
  • Sami Callihan vs Frankie Kazarian: Who cares, this wasn’t anything
  • Cora Jade vs Xia Brookside: Cora wins via Jaded – ***
  • TNA Knockouts World Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) vs Savannah Evans: Masha retains via Requiem – (-) *
  • Josh Alexander vs Eric Young w/Jabronis: Eric Young wins via Piledriver – *** 1/2

 

Results:

TNA World Heavyweight Championship: Joe Hendry (c) vs Jake Something

Oh we’re starting with this? Okay.

Early on its similar situations; Collar and Elbow tie up is deadlocked, Jake runs Joe over a couple times with rope run Shoulder Tackles but Joe returns the favor and then hits his Stalling Suplex into an Irish Whip to the buckle sending Jake chest first and a near fall. Jake tries to fire up out of it, a few Chops and looks to keep up the momentum, but Joe counters with a Scoop Slam and we go to commercial. We come back from commercial and Jake is working Joe over with Forearms against the ropes, Joe does go for two flash Cradle attempts for near falls but a Lariat takes off Joe’s head and gives Jake a near fall of his own. Jake starts laying in the Wrist Control Short Rainmakers before playing to the crowd and starts looking to continue the offense but Joe has a small flurry. A little back and forth, Joe counters a Whip with one of his own, but Jake coldcocks him with a Forearm and starts laying the Haymakers into Joe who’s grounded in the middle of the mat.

Crowd wills Joe back to his feet, Euro Upper gets a little space, but Jake cuts him off again and drops him on the apron. Jake looks to hit the ropes for something huge but Hendry pops back in and Lariat drops Jake. Jake eats some Slams and Lariats, Sack of Shit into the Kip-Up and turn, calls for the Standing Ovation but Jake blocks it and drives his shoulder into Hendry’s gut to wrest control back. Jake does the Warrior psyche up, looks for Into the Void but Hendry dodges it, Hendry eats a few Lariats, returns one of his own that sends Jake to the outside but Jake lands on his feet and pulls Hendry to a seated position and does…some kind of Running Forearm through the ropes thing? It looks stupid.

Jake goes to the top rope, Joe cuts him off, Avalanche Sack of Shit, Kip-Up, Standing Ovation called for…and…CONNECTS! Hendry retains.

Oh Mokuba cuts in as soon as Hendry retains. “Myyy brrrooottthhheeerrr”, but Santino’s music hits Jake attacks Joe, Santino gets into the ring to try and stop it, Nic comes to Ryan’s aid when Jake looks to go after Ryan next, Superkick rocks Jake, Nic goes for another but Jake powders and Nic Superkicks Santino. 

Elegance Clique (Heather & Ash) vs King Bees

Heather starts quick, Danni is getting isolated after Heather knocks Charity off the apron. A little bit of quick offense and near falls, Ash hits an Implant Buster/Front Dropkick combo for another near fall. Danni starts to fight back, but Heather cuts off Danni and tags back in Ash. Ash tries to keep Danni down, but she fights back up again, strikes, chops, stereo Facebusters instead of Crossbodies is at least unique. Simultaneous tags and Charity starts dominating the Elegance Clique, Ash makes the save, Danni tags back in, Charity tries to set up Heather for a Doomsday style move, but Heather counters with a Frankensteiner that sends Charity into the ropes, crotches Danni, Ash gets in a few shots, Seated Springboard Spanish Fly from Heather and the match is done! Ash and Heather do the lipstick insult post-match stuff, so Spitfire comes out to run them off.

Sami Callihan vs Frankie Kazarian

Mance Warner attacks Sami before the match, Sami is laid out on the ramp. Kaz thinks he got an easy win, but Sami stumbles to the ring to fight.

Sami hits a Stunner when Kaz gets a little too excited at the easy prey, Mance and Steph run back down the ramp to guarantee interference costing Sami the match. Kaz slaps on his Chicken Wing and Sami taps out. Very nothing match, but it leads to Sami grabbing a mic and calling Mance out into a fight. We get a security pull apart.

Cora Jade vs Xia Brookside

Cora comes out cocky and arrogant, doing the relaxing on the turnbuckles taunts, Xia gets offended, takes it to Cora a little and returns the taunt. Cora doesn’t seem super pleased by that, but Xia stays one step ahead of her early on, even doing her cute little wiggle to show off a bit. Cora has to powder, then run away from Xia, slide back into the ring and cries to the referee that her injured knee is acting up. So it slows down Xia enough to get got, Xia gets rocked a few quick attacks from Cora and she keeps Xia grounded. Cora pushes Xia into the corner, does the Kevin Nash Leg Choke, Xia tries to fire out but eats a Lariat for a near fall from Cora. Springboard Stomp to the back gives Cora another near fall, Snap Suplex…too many random pinfall attempts and Cora is starting to show a lot of frustration about not having an easy night.

Bow and Arrow Submission from Cora, Xia tries to fight out, but Cora pulls her down by the hair and goes right back to the Bow and Arrow. Snamare escape finally from Xia, she blocks a punch of Cora strikes and peppers her back, a sequence of Lariats into a Tilt-a-Whirl Headscissors which sends Cora to the corner. Back Elbow Feint from Xia seats Cora, Broken Wings after a little dance, Russian Leg Sweep from Xia for two. Brooksy Bomb attempt, Cora counters, Xia counters Cora but Cora hits a V-Trigger to rock Xia. Cora goes for Jaded but Xia counters, Running Knee Lift from Cora into Jaded and Cora wins.

Rascalz come out to cut a promo, explain the Ace alliance is just a convenient pairing. They call out Wes’ new crew, they think they’re gonna handle things because they have numbers, Ace shows up behind Wes’ crew, a brawl ensues where the heels stand tall after a few Low Blows and triple teaming Ace. Wes did mention something about going after the Tree House since the Rascalz don’t have any gold. So as Wes, Tyriek and Tyson walk out, we’re left to wonder what they’re gonna do with the Tree House. 

TNA Knockouts World Championship: Masha Slamovich (c) vs Savannah Evans

Masha tries to start quick because Savannah is actually imposing her size and power on Masha. I’m not totally sure how to feel about this since Savannah has no established reasoning for being a real challenge but Masha is selling her ass off. She eats a Spinout Sideslam and this just makes Masha looks like kind of a jabroni. Masha went from an Undefeated Russian Terror to now she’s getting woman handled by a lower card wrestler who’s rarely been on episodes and was even gone for like 8 months.

This is a terrible match, it doesn’t make Savannah look impressive, it makes Masha look like a joke. I’ve mentioned that the Knockouts Division is pretty terrible, but they shouldn’t agree with me so hard that Masha is selling for Savannah. Masha hits the Capo Kick to rock Savannah, tries a Sunset Flip after Evans blocks the Requiem, but a little back and forth, Savannah gets kicked in the head but still grabs Masha, Masha tries a Sunset Flip again but Savannah just sits down on her for two. This is…dumb.

We shouldn’t be seeing a competitive match with enhancement talent, Savannah even grabs Masha and hits some kind of modified Fireman’s Carry Suplex for a near fall. PK and Sliding Dropkick from Masha, this is going on too long and been too close. Sole Butt into Requiem and the misery if over. This was logically insulting garbage,

Josh Alexander vs Eric Young w/Jabronis

Josh starts off hot, taking it to EY, EY even tries to escape the ring but Josh keeps him in close quarters and lays EY out a few times. EY stumbles to the corner like a Bushwacker and tries to escape again, but Josh grabs him and eats a poke to the eyes for his effort. EY does the Kevin Nash Corner Footchoke also. A move I rarely see we saw twice tonight…odd. Josh fires up and lays in the Forearms, whips EY to the corner, Flair Flip, tries to bait Josh with a Shoulder Tackle through the ropes, Josh side steps, kicks EY to seat him and lands the Low Crossbody for a signature pop and the jabroni duo stalk Josh to get him distracted so EY manages a Stun Gun to take the control back.

Commercial kicks in and when we come back EY is still in control. Clubbing blows across Josh’s neck as he drapes him over the apron. We all know why EY is going after the neck, and some Stomps and looks to choke him so the referee admonishes EY. While admonishing the Jabronis go after Josh. Josh slides through EY’s legs after a rope run, a bit of locomotion Cradle attempts but EY goes to the corner to try and recover, when Josh follows EY grabs him, chokes him from the seated position and then drops a Knee on the neck. A nice back and forth, EY throws Josh tries to get some control back and EY lands a Dropkick from the corner as they both slowly meet the 10 count. Strike Exchange, off the ropes, Back Body Drop from Josh, into Stinger Splash, Rolling Senton, and King Kong Knee Drop from Josh for two!

Josh looks for the Ankle Lock, but EY gets the ropes immediately, Josh looks for the Spicolli Driver, but EY slips it, throats Josh with the top rope, Macho Elbow for two! Josh hits the Styles Clash to a solid pop, but only a two count! Josh looks for something up the buckles, EY counters him and looks for the Avalanche Piledriver, but Josh counters that, Ankle Lock, transition into Sharpshooter, Jabroni distraction, more back and forth with Josh and EY, Ankle Lock attempt again, jabronis interfere again and slide in the Casey Jones mask. EY clocks Josh, Piledriver, EY wins.

Overall Score: 5/10

On paper two main title matches seem interesting unless you follow the product and know the challengers aren’t deserving and have no build. Jake is someone I’d like to see get pushed, but he never does, and I mostly blame his gimmick name. Something is funny for the Indies, but completely moronic to try and brand on even a marginally legit brand. Savannah didn’t deserve the offense she got in, the Knockouts title looks bad, Masha looks bad after that, this Knockouts Division is literally on life support. The Knockouts needs the NXT Women’s Division like fish need water to live. This is a painful low for the Knockouts. When I look back at the Dollhouse era as miles above this…that’s a sad perspective. Also, where the hell is Lei Ying Lee? She officially signed and has been used like twice since putting pen to paper. She is needed to make this Knockouts Division less awful.

There was definitely some stuff to like. Santino suspending Nic drags things out well, Ryan’s irritating smarmy character is great, Xia looked good in her match Cora, the main event was very good and the impending 6 man with Ace, Rascalz and Wes’ Crew should be fun.

A lot of this show felt like filler or just matches for the sake of matches. But it was at least mostly tolerable, and I have a little intrigue with this Mustafa Ali faction.

That’s number one for ROH Champions. Enjoy the show tonight, guys, and hopefully we’ll see you next year on the high seas on the Jericho Cruise! Adios, gente! Also Spanish.” Jericho winks and gives a thumbs up, but indeed, ROH has for the first time ever a very special cruise edition! Soak it in, maaan~!

 

Jay Lethal VS Mason Madden w/ Mansoor!

While the former ROH World Champion is ready to get back into the title scene, do not let the belt MXM Collection has in their possession fool you. The Mahogany Hunk & Iron Chic literally stole that ROH World Tag Team Championship right off Sammy Guevara after beating him down! Will Mason make the deck his catwalk? Or will Lethal turn up the Black Machismo?

Turns out, he does! Lethal is bringing out his savage side and the crowd cheers. Mason stands on the corner, but he gets booed. The Code of Honor is skipped, the bell rings, and the two circle. They circle, and the fans duel about fingertip touching! Lethal says okay, and they MEGA POWER TIP TOUCH~! But then Mason KNEES Lethal low! The fans boo but Mansoor says that’s what Lethal gets! Mason CLUBS Lethal, stomps away in the corner, then struts his way to a POSE! The fans are torn, Mason whips, but Lethal ducks ‘n’ dodges, then slides under to JAB! JAB! JAB! Lethal JABS again and again and again, high then low, then he winds up for a HAYMAKER!

Mason staggers to a corner, Lethal climbs up on him, and Lethal rains down fists! The fans count along, but Mason stops things at 5! Lethal slips free of the atomic drop to ELBOW Mason down! Lethal goes up, AX HANDLE! Cover, TWO! Mason is tougher than that but Lethal goes to the corner. Lethal climbs, and he AX- NO, Mason catches him for a CHOKE BOMB! Cover, TWO! Mansoor complains, Mason stomps Lethal, and then Mason throat chops Lethal! Mason runs corner to corner and ELBOWS Lethal! The fans rally and duel, but Mason whips Lethal to ropes, LEG LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Lethal is also tougher than that, but MXM talks trash to fans.

Mason drags Lethal up, wrenches, and he hits an ELBOW BREAKER! Mason wrenches for another ELBOW BREAKER, and another, and another! The fans boo, but then Mason CLUBS the bad arm. Mason POSES, but Lethal powers up! Lethal CHOPS, but Mason HEADBUTTS! Mason runs in, Lethal dodges, then goes up and over in the corner! Lethal goes up the other corner to CROSSBODY! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Mansoor is upset, he tells fans to stop cheering, but Lethal and Mason stand. Mason ROCKS Lethal, but Lethal JABS! Mason ROCKS Lethal, Lethal JABS, and repeat!

The fans fire up as Lethal winds up, to JAB! JAB! JAB! Lethal winds up to ROCK Mason! But Mason is, uh, Maddening up? Lethal throws more hands, but Mason just feeds off them! Lethal throws one more shot and Mason shouts, “YOU~!” Lethal flips Mason off and the haymakers fly! Mason counter punches, whips, and BOOTS! Mason keeps copying the Immortal One, then he runs to drop the leg, but he misses! Lethal hurries up a corner, and he hits the MACHO- NO, Lethal blocks Mason’s boot first! Lethal stands Mason up, dodges his lariat, and handsprings, LETHAL INJECTION! A bit double-edged given how big Mason is, so that’s a big fall!

Both men are down and the fans rally up! Lethal rises, staggers, but he finds his way to a corner. Mansoor throws a fit as Lethal climbs, for the MACHO ELBOW!! Cover, Machismo wins!

Winner: Jay Lethal, by pinfall

Mansoor is really upset now! But good thing they aren’t the tag champions, because they’d owe Lethal a title shot! But speaking of a title shot, could Lethal be back on the rise towards the top of ROH?

 

ROH shares post-show footage from last week.

Athena and Billie Starkz returned backstage after Athena won yet another Proving Grounds match, but Athena still wasn’t happy with Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths. Athena makes Billie take a seat, and then tells her to share what she learned from watching Athena wrestle! Billie says she learned how to choke someone out, how to knock someone out- That’s it? That’s all she learned!? If that’s all Billie learned, than she is an IDIOT! Just like her stupid country bumpkin family! Athena is trying to save Billie! Athena is trying to make Billie better for the world of ROH.

Yet time and time again, Billie proves she is an imbecile, that she can’t cut it, and that she is nothing but what Louisville, Kentucky made her: a nothing! So, Billie… GET IT TOGETHER!! The Fallen Goddess storms off, but will Billie ever get out from under her thumb?

 

Billie Starkz VS Harley Cameron!

Last week she was getting grilled by the Minion Overlord, but this week, she gets to just be herself here on the Jericho Cruise! Will she show Athena what she’s really learned by fighting her way to a third shot at the ROH Women’s World Championship? Or will she #FeelTheWrath as this wild Aussie (at this point in time) fights to prove she belongs?

The fans chant “FEEL THE WRATH!” as she and Billie circle. The fans then chant “Both These Girls!” as they tie up. Billie waistlocks, Harley headlocks and says, “Feel the Wrath!” The fans cheer, but Billie pops out the back. Billie grinds the arm, mocks the ref’s admonishing, but Harley fights up. Harley wrenches to wristlock, then hammerlock, then headlock! The fans cheer, but Billie pops out the back to waistlock. They go to ropes, Harley tries but can’t buck free. Billie lets off and she SPANKS Harley! The fans cheer the cheeky nature, but Harley rushes up on Billie. Harley waistlocks, Billie headlocks, but Harley powers up and out.

Harley drop toeholds Billie, then SPANKS her! The fans cheer the cheeky return! Billie and Harley reset, and Billie throws her armbands off! Billie runs up, Harley dodges, then she rolls over the dropdown. Things speed up, Harley dodges and DROPKICKS Billie down! The fans fire up and Harley puts Billie in a corner. Harley climbs up, and she rains down fists! The fans count along, and Harley stops at nine, to SMOTHER Billie! Well, it’s a very tropical cruise, guess those are the coconuts! The fans fire up, but Billie storms up to SUPERKICK! Then she hits a DDT! Billie says this ends now! Billie storms up on Harley to stomp a mudhole!

The ref reprimands, Billie tells the ref to back off, and Billie still tries to get the taste out of her mouth. Billie ROCKS Harley, and she can’t help but hear fans chant things like “I Want Next!” She asks them, “What is wrong with you?” One fan chants back, “We Are Wasted!” Billie bumps Harley off buckles, then whips corner to corner. Harley bounces off buckles hard, Billie flexes, and the fans cheer. Billie drags Harley up and says take a shot of this! She CHOKES Harley on ropes! The ref counts, Billie stops at 4, and she bumps Harley off buckles. Billie bullies the ref again, then storms up on Harley. Billie ROCKS Harley, whips corner to corner, then runs up, only for Harley to ROCK her!

Harley ROCKS Billie again, then again! The fans rally, Harley kicks, but Billie blocks! Billie ducks the enzigiri just in time, and she digs a knee into Harley’s back!

AEW International Championship Title Eliminator: Konosuke Takeshita VS Tommy Billington!

It was July 13th, 2024 when The Alpha and The Dynamite Kid had an incredible Collision, but that was before Konosuke was a Double Champion. Will Konosuke be 2-0 now that he’s only gotten stronger? Or will Tommy use this cruise to grab a golden ticket?

The bell rings and the fans tell off Don Callis even though he’s not here. Konosuke and Tommy circle, tie up, and Tommy arm-drags! Konosuke gets up in a huff, circles with Tommy, and they tie up. Konosuke waistlocks but Tommy wrenches and wristlocks. Konosuke moves around, rolls, then trips Tommy to a toehold. Tommy endures, pries at the grip, and he brings Konosuke’s arm around to wrench and YANK! And YANK! Tommy wristlocks, Konosuke headlocks and hits the takeover, but Tommy headscissors!

That trips Tommy up and the fans are torn. Konosuke storms back up to ROCKET LAUNCH Tommy! The fans cheer while Konosuke climbs. Tommy goes to the adjacent side, out of the drop zone, so Konosuke hops down.

Konosuke storms up to ROCK Tommy with a forearm. Konosuke brings something out from inside his boot? He climbs up on the corner, and he starts jabbing Tommy with that item! The ref reprimands, the fans boo, but Konosuke stops at 4. Reveal: it’s a SPORK! Konosuke was trying to dig into Tommy like he’s a buffet dinner! Konosuke “apologizes,” puts Tommy in another corner, and he JABS at Tommy with the spork again and again! Then Konosuke throws it to a fan! What a souvenir. Konosuke hits a BIG suplex, covers, TWO! Tommy stays in this but Konosuke stays on him with a chinlock.

Konosuke headstands to put on pressure, then drops down to crank the hold. Tommy endures, the fans rally up, and Tommy fights to his feet. Tommy fires body shots, but Konosuke knees low! The fans are torn but Konosuke lifts Tommy. BLUE THUNDER- NO, Tommy fights the bomb with elbows! Konosuke shoves Tommy to ropes, then catches him on the rebound for a back suplex! But Tommy lands out! Tommy waistlocks, Konosuke elbows free then runs, but Tommy CLOBBERS him! Tommy whips, then CLOBBERS Konosuke again! Tommy reels Konosuke in, snap suplex! The fans fire up as Tommy climbs a corner!

Tommy reaches the top, but Konosuke stands, so Tommy MISSILE DROPKICKS Konosuke down! The fans fire up again as Tommy stalks Konosuke to a corner. Tommy whips corner to corner, but Konosuke reverses. Konosuke runs in, but Tommy dodges! Tommy gets moving, he ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, and he gut wrenches Konosuke?! But Konosuke turns that around! Only for Tommy to turn it back around! TOMBSTONE! Konosuke is down, but Tommy goes back up! DIVING HEADBUTT FLOPS! Konosuke avoids disaster to then POWER DRIVE KNEE!! Tommy sputters, but Konosuke hauls him up! BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! Cover, Konosuke wins!

Winner: Konosuke Takeshita, by pinfall (denies Tommy Billington a title match)

The Dynamite Kid almost had The Alpha, but it’s the same as before: Konosuke standing tall. With both the AEW International and NEVER Openweight Championships in his hands, will no one stop Konosuke Takeshita from taking over the wrestling world?

 

The Outrunners VS Grizzled Young Veterans!

Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd may be fighting The Learning Tree on Dynamite, but they’ve got something to prove to Zack Gibson & James Drake here in ROH. The Outrunners outdid three other teams in last week’s Fatal 4 Way, will they win again now that it’s 2v2? Or will the Youngest Men Alive learn to #GritYourTeeth?

And then DOUBLE AIRPLANE SPINS~! The fans fire up as GYV ends up all dizzy! They stagger around, bump into each other, and then help steady each other. But then The Outrunners get them for DOUBLE ATOMIC DROPS! And GYV again bumps into each other! GYV falls over, The Outrunners spin around, and the fans are all fired up! Truth brings Gibson up, whips him to the corner, but Gibson BOOTS him!

Gibson elbows Turbo, but Truth JABS! JABS! JABS! Gibson headlocks, Drake tags in before Truth powers out! GYV drop down, trip Truth, then basement DROPKICK! Then MAYHEM IN MOTION for Turbo! GYV mock the spinning, then say “SUCK IT!” The fans boo, but Drake taunts Turbo, which also distracts the ref. Gibson has Truth on the ramp, whips him at the ropes, then ELBOWS him down! Truth sputters on the apron, Gibson plays innocent, and Drake drags Truth up. But Truth RAMS into Drake, slingshots over for the sunset flip, but Drake stays up!

Drake runs in, Truth goes up and over! Truth reaches out but Drake just pulls him back! Drake kicks low, reels Truth in, but it’s Truth who suplexes Drake! The fans fire up, Truth crawls, but Drake anchors him again! Drake tags Gibson, GYV mugs Truth! They double whip, but Truth grabs ropes! Truth BOOTS Gibson, ELBOWS Drake, then dodges Drake to use Gibson as a step, FLYING HOT TAG! The fans fire up as Turbo now rallies on GYV! Haymaker after haymaker, then scoop SLAM after scoop SLAM! Turbo is all fired up, and he gives GYV a meeting of the minds! Then he LARIATS Drake up and out!

Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.

Earlier this week, Lexy Nair was with the One True African Queen and pointed out her great roll in ROH. What are her goals for 2025? Before Aminata can say anything, Serena Deeb walks in. Aminata rolls her eyes as she’s not surprised. The Professor says she knows she’s sounding like a broken record, but she sees so much potential in Aminata. Aminata is a superstar, and Serena is a big fan. But Aminata is listening to all the wrong people. Like most of these “girls” today, Aminata is more concerned about shaking dat ass on TV than about winning! This is professional wrestling. Pound for pound, bell to bell, Serena is the best pure wrestler in ROH & AEW.

She is the Woman of 1000 Holds. So Queen, how about they mix it up a bit? They should do this in a Pure Rules Match! Aminata is a bit surprised by that. Is that what The Professor wants? Then the Queen is ready. Name the time and place, and the queen that “shakes her ass” will be there. Serena says okay, see you in Deeb’s Dojo. When and where will we see these two reignite their rivalry and finally put it to the test?

 

Ricochet VS Serpentico!

Not only is this the Jericho Cruise debut of The One & Only, it is also the Honor Club debut of The One & Only! Will Ricochet make this special edition episode #OuttaThisWorld? Or will he be far away when the SNAKEMAN enters his veins?

The bell rings and fans are chanting “RICO-SH*T!” in reference to the toilet paper raining down in Cincinnati. Ricochet and Serpentico tie up, and Ricochet pulls on the mask to put Serpentico in a corner! Ricochet climbs up on Serpentico while still pulling the mask but the ref counts. Ricochet stops at 4, backs off, and the ref reprimands. Ricochet says that was a clean break. The fans keep chanting and Serpentico encourages them to get louder. Ricochet and Serpentico circle, tie up, and Ricochet waistlocks to headlock. Serpentico powers up and out, but Ricochet runs him over. Ricochet flexes, the fans are torn, but things speed up.

Serpentico stays low, then hurdles over. Ricochet leaps over Serpentico, Serpentico ducks ‘n’ dodges lariats to then RANA! The fans fire up and Serpentico DRPOKICKS! Ricochet flounders to the ramp, and he storms off. The ref says to get back in the ring but Ricochet takes his time huffing and puffing. Ricochet storms up to the ropes but Serpentico is there. Ricochet backs off, and now fans taunt him with “BALD! BALD!” Ricochet says he wants to get int he ring and that Serpentico is too close! The ref has Serpentico stand back, Ricochet storms in, but Serpentico dodges! Serpentico ROCKS Ricochet with ahymakers!

The fans fire up as Serpentico UPPERCUTS in the corner! Serpentico whips corner to corner, then runs in, but Ricochet uses the ref as a shield! The fans boo but then Ricochet LARIATS Serpentico down! The ref reprimands, Ricochet “apologizes,” then he drops elbow after elbow. The fans keep taunting “BALD~!” “RICO-SH*T!” but Ricochet stomps Serpentico. Ricochet has Serpentico at the ropes to then JUMP STOMP! The fans keep jeering but Ricochet just soaks it up. Ricochet storms up on Serpentico but Serpentico fires body shots!

Serpentico fights his way back to bridging cover! TWO and Ricochet has let Serpentico go! Serpentico fires fast hands, then he UPPERCUTS! Serpentico runs, into a SPINEBUSTER! Ricochet then mocks The People’s Champoin before hitting the PEOPLE’S MOONSAULT! Cover, TWO!

Ricochet argues that the count was bad but the ref defends the count. The fans rally for Serpentico but Ricochet tells them he’s the one winning! But Serpentico ELBOWS Ricochet down! Serpentico goes to a corner, BOOTS Ricochet, then dodges Ricochet! ENZIGIRI, schoolboy, basement SUPERKICK! Then a FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! The fans rally as Serpentico hurries up a corner! Serpentico aims, but Ricochet avoids the stomps! Serpentico handsprings through, ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Ricochet Tiger Wall Kicks, SOBATS, KNEE LIFTS, and DISCUS LARIATS!

Ricochet isn’t done, he locks ‘n’ loads for the SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

The One & Only wins and does his best Stone Cold by flipping off the fans from the corner. Will Ricochet make sure no one, not in AEW and not in ROH, can stop his rise to the top?

 

ROH World Television Championship: Komander VS Nick Wayne!

The Commander of the Skies may be picking a fight with La Faccion Ingobernable, but he still has gold to defend. Will he soon be the Commander of the Seas with this one? Or will The Prodigy make The Patriarchy proud?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who sails away with the treasure!

Surprisingly, there are fans who actually like Nick Wayne. The Code of Honor is offered but not upheld by Nick. The bell rings, Nick and Komander circle. They feel things out, knuckle lock, and Nick puts on the pressure. The fans taunt Nick with “Where’s Your Mom? Where’s Your Mom?” Komander endures the knuckle lock, rolls through, but Nick puts on more pressure. They double knuckle lock, and Nick uses his height to put on the pressure. Komander fights up, they go shoulder to shoulder in a Test of Strength, and Komander manages to push Nick back. Komander then kicks, goes up, and MONKEY FLIPS!

Both men hurry up, and Nick MONKEY FLIPS in return, only for Komander to land out! Komander ducks a kick, whips Nick, but Nick manages a SWINGING ARM-DRAG! Things keep moving, Komander wheelbarrows to arm-drag! Nick sweeps to cover, ONE! Komander sweeps to cover, ONE! Both men dropkick, those cancel out, and both men handspring up! The fans cheer as these two stare down! The fans rally and duel, the two circle again, and Komander encourages the fans to get louder. But Nick attacks from behind! Nick stomps a mudhole in, then he scuffs Komander. The ref reprimands and Nick backs off.

Nick taunts the fans cheering Komander, then he drags Komander up. Komander fires body shots but Nick whips. Komander goes up, over, around, handsprings, and superhero lands! Then he runs to tilt-o-whirl RANA! Nick flounders to the ramp, Komander takes aim! Springboard and CROSS- NO, Nick kicks low, then DDTS Komander on the ramp! The fans are stunned while Nick rises up. Nick hobbles, brings Komander up, and shoves him up the ramp! Nick goes to the ring, he wants the count out! Komander hurries, he makes it back to ringside at 15 of 20! Komander is in and Nick is annoyed.

The fans taunt Nick more as he sees the bloody scrape on his hand. Nick shows that off to the fans, then flips them off! Nick even licks his own blood! The fans tell Nick that he’s sick! Nick ROCKS Komander, throws more hands, then stalks Komander to ropes. Nick ROCKS Komander again, then stomps him in the corner. Nick climbs up, taunts the fans more, then he digs his knuckles into Komander’s eyes! The ref counts, Nick hops down, and he shows the bloody scrape on his hand again. Nick brings Komander from the corner, snapmares and covers, ONE! Komander is tougher than this, but Nick keeps cool.

Nick sits Komander up to KNEE him in the back! The fans rally for Komander but Nick KNEES him in the back again. Nick then KICKS Komander in the back, covers, TWO! Komander stays in this and Nick grows frustrated. The fans rally, Nick says stop that, and he drops a leg on Komander! And another leg drop! And then Nick winds up, for a leap and scuff! The fans boo but Nick soaks it up again. Nick’s handful of fans get louder, but Komander victory rolls him! TWO! Nick kicks low, whips, but Komander reverses to fire off kick after kick! Komander runs, springboards, FLYING ARM-DRAG! Nick hobbles up, Komander whips.

Nick reverses the whip, Komander LEAPS out to the ramp! The fans cheer as Komander comes back, but Nick RAMS him! Nick slingshots up and over, comes back, but into a SUPERKICK! Komander springboards to ASAI MOONSAULT! Direct hit and the fans fire up again! Komander tosses Nick in, goes up a corner, and he tightrope walks to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Nick escapes in time and Komander nods, even he has to admit Nick’s tough. Komander goes to the apron, the fans rally up, and Komander feeds off that energy! Komander goes up, takes aim, but Nick hits ropes to trip him up!

Komander flops to the mat while the fans boo, but Nick has a cocky grin. Nick talks trash on the fans, then kicks Komander around. Nick goes corner to corner and back again, but Komander ELBOWS him! Komander fires forearms, but Nick SUPERKICKS! Then full nelson, SNAP DRAGON! Bridging cover, TWO!! Nick hurries to SUPERKICK again! Then the FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Not quite perfect but Nick watches Komander rise! Nick calls his shot, ROUNDHOUSE! And then up, up, and WAYNE’S- NO, Komander dodges,  goes up and up, for a FLYING DESTROYER!!

Nick flounders onto ropes, Komander sees that and dials it up! 619! Nick flops back, Komander borrows the captain’s hat and climbs up! Tightrope walk and CIELITO LINDO!! Cover, Komander wins!

Winner: Komander, by pinfall (still ROH World Television Champion)

Nick is definitely a prodigy for him to step to Komander like this! But in the end, Komander is still in charge as a champion! Will no one replace him as the Face of ROH TV?


My Thoughts:

A great ROH here, clocking in at an hour and 15, but also with it being part of the Rock ‘n’ Wrestling Rager match card. There was a lot more to what the cruise had in store, but that’s obviously all for the paying guests on the ship. A little surprised they didn’t make time for Black Machismo’s marriage proposal to Lexy Nair… But that was a great match, always fun for Lethal to bust out his Randy Savage. Also, I feel like Mason & Mansoor stealing and bedazzling Sammy Guevara’s ROH World Tag Team Championship belt is them burying the lead, there should’ve been a promo where we saw them do all that to the belt.

Very good promo from Athena and Billie, but as I’ve been saying, they really need to wrap this story. There’s only so much that they can do to stretch this out, so the next ROH event needs to be the finale. But that aside, very good match between Billie and Harley, and what a great win for Harley. Harley got to really shine on that cruise as she also had a concert with Jericho. And while a good promo from Aminata and Serena, it’s a touch disappointing they’re only going back to this unfinished feud all because Britt Baker buried what would’ve been Dentist VS Professor pretty much from the jump. But hey, silver lining: Deeb wants a Pure Rules Match, and I genuinely would love a Women’s Pure Championship as another great avenue for the women of AEW & ROH.

Very good match from Konosuke and Tommy, but even with this just being a Title Eliminator, I figured Konosuke would win. Konosuke has only gotten even more powerful since that match on Collision last July, Tommy was not going to beat the DUAL International & NEVER Champion, and certainly not on the Jericho Cruise. Outrunners VS GYV was really good stuff, and The Outrunners are definitely on a run. MXM VS Dustin & Sammy is the clear ROH World Tag title match, but in the off chance MXM wins, MXM VS Outrunners could be some really good stuff. Ricochet VS Serpentico was really good, too, but of course Ricochet won while embracing that Heel Heat.

And a great main event from Komander VS Nick Wayne, but again, there was not going to be a title change on the Jericho Cruise. Komander will still be facing Lee Johnson at some point for this title. That match may have even been recorded already and is just waiting to be plugged into the Honor Club schedule. It was announced that ROH Global Wars would return as part of the Grand Slam: Australia taping this Saturday, I didn’t see Komander VS Johnson on that card, so it might be the week after.

My Score: 8.7/10
