PLAY BY PLAY

LifeBlood is looking strong!

They and their new ally, PJ Black, managed to down Villain Enterprises at full force, more or less. Hot Sauce chased off Flip Gordon, and the OG’s, Scurll, Brody and PCO were not able to withstand the 4v3. Is this the first step to restoring honor to Ring of Honor?

 

ROH throws to Ian Riccaboni and Quinn McKay.

They are both excited for this special “double main event” episode that gives us even more of the Manhattan Mayhem! Quinn is especially excited to see if Karissa Rivera can shock the world and defeat The Pretty Badass, Kelly Klein, for the Women of Honor World Championship, in only Rivera’s second ROH TV match! Speaking of the WOH World Champion…

 

Kelly Klein speaks.

“Right before I became the first-ever two-time WOH World Champion, I told six women if they wanted an opportunity, all they had to do was ask.” One of those six was Karissa Rivera. But Rivera wasn’t going to take this match as a favor, she wanted to earn it. And she proved herself by beating inaugural champion, Sumie Sakai. Kelly likes the initiative, because she knows now that Rivera is worthy of being in WOH. But she might not be ready for the title just yet. Kelly looks forward to seeing for herself. What goes down in one of tonight’s two title matches?

 

Rush VS TK O’Ryan!

El Toro Blanco (The White Bull) takes on El Descarado Caballo Salvaje (The Sassy Wild Horse) in a special singles showdown! Will Rush keep rising through the ranks?

The full match is on Honor Club, but ROH TV skips to TK trolling as he listens to fans boo and jeer. Rush gets to a corner and TK whips him. Rush reverses and then splashes hard in the corner, only to run into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! TK keeps his cool, then drags Rush up. TK fisherman’s the leg, for a DDT! Cover, TWO! Rush survives and fires himself up! TK clubs away on Rush, then taunts him. Rush SPITS on TK! TK SLAPS Rush, but Rush dares him to give it harder. TK CHOPS, but Rush just stands up. Rush wipes off the sweat and tells TK to keep trying. TK CHOPS, but still Rush doesn’t flinch. Rush does a quick physical on TK to see if he’s still got the grapefruits needed. TK takes Rush by the beard, but Rush blocks the chop! Rush DECKS TK, then fires up as he gets TK with a rebound German Suplex!

Rush’s basement shotgun knee sends TK out, but Rush just follows after! Rush rams TK into the security guard sitting in the corner! Then he rams TK into barriers across the way! Fans are thunderous for Rush as he gives TK more barriers! Rush grabs TK again, and gets the grand slam! All four corners! Rush grabs a chair, sits it up, and stands on it to pose. Manhattan joins in with Tranquilo while TK runs away into the ring. Fans chant for Rush as he goes back to the apron. Rush wants them to be silent, as he slingshots in, and lands on his feet. To mule kick TK in the head! Fans cheer and Rush soaks it up, but TK is furious. TK gets up and runs at Rush, only to get tossed overhead! Fans know Rush wants it, and Rush runs in for Bull’s Horns! Push-up cover, Rush wins!

Winner: Rush, by pinfall

The White Bull wants to rule ROH, but nothing happens until he says it does. Is he growing closer and closer to the day he ways he wants the ROH World Championship?

 

The 2019 Top Prospect Tournament is almost here!

Eight ROH hopefuls are preparing for this huge opportunity! Despite saying he’s the Number One Seed, Brian Johnson is really more third or fourth given how this bracket looks. Johnson takes on Austin Gunn in the first round while the other three matches are: Dante Caballero VS Joe Keys; The Hatian Sensation VS Ken Dixon; and Makita VS Dak Draper. Who makes it out of the opening round? Who makes it all the way to the finals? And who becomes Mr. Top Prospect 2019?

 

Silas Young VS PJ Black!

Find the full match in the Mass Hysteria event on Honor Club, because ROH jumps into the middle of this match between Last Real Man and Darewolf.

Silas has PJ down and drives his knee in. Silas covers, TWO, but Silas is on PJ with a chinlock. PJ endures as Lowell rallies up. PJ fights to his feet and arm-drags free. Silas runs back in but PJ dodges, hops up and hits a flying elbow! PJ climbs fast to hit an ax handle! Then he climbs again for a crossbody! But he bounces off the cover. Silas gets up and spun around into a backslide, TWO! Silas swings, misses, and gets PJ’s springboard back kick. WOLFSAULT! Cover, TWO!! Silas survives the top rope springboard moonsault, but PJ whips Silas into a corner. Silas boots PJ back, then hops up, but PJ gets him with a SUPER SPANISH FLY! Cover, TWO!! Silas still lives but PJ keeps his cool. PJ heads to the apron again, and springboards! Silas gets clear and PJ rolls through. Silas is in the corner but he dodges PJ. PJ hops up and jumps back for a back elbow. PJ hops up but Silas trips him up! The Darewolf is crotch’d, and then Silas drags him out into a full nelson. Spinning knee, then fireman’s carry, MISERY! Cover, Silas wins!

Winner: Silas Young, by pinfall

Silas wins, and says that “whether you like it or not, there isn’t another technical wrestler in the world who can touch the Last Real Man.” Will that remain true through 2019?

 

Silas answers a call backstage.

“I understood you the first time. You keep going on and on about it, it’s not really necessary.” As Silas gets heated, someone hands him a pack o’ smokes. The Goods says some teachers like apples. But he figured this teacher would like these instead. Silas shrugs and accepts the gift. Is this strange mentor-student relationship growing stronger?

 

WOH World Championship: Kelly Klein VS Karissa Rivera!

The Gatekeeper gave six Women of Honor a title shot pass to use when they felt it was time, and for the Cherokee Warrior, it is time. In just her second televised match ever, will Rivera shock the world? Or will the Pretty Badass check her off the mysterious list of six?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we begin the first main event of the night!

Rivera and Kelly approach as Kelly puts her mouth guard in. They keep the Code of Honor to show this is all in good sport. They tie up, and fans rally already as the two are fairly even in strength. They separate and smile as they circle again. They tie up and Rivera gets a wristlock, but Kelly reverses to arm-drag Rivera away. Rivera comes back and gets a waistlock, then a slam. She has a facelock on Kelly but Kelly slips out to get a hammerlock. Karissa rolls to her own wristlock, but Kelly rolls through. Only for Rivera to get a hammerlock of her own! Fans cheer as Kelly reverses to a headscissors and Karissa pops out! Kelly gets a waistlock and slam of her own, but looms over her instead. Kelly runs but into a clothesline. Kelly stays up to come back with an elbow! Rivera reels Kelly in to forearm her in the back! Now Rivera runs but Kelly follows to spin her around, falling facebuster!

Fans cheer as Kelly catches her breath. Fans rally up as Rivera gets to a corner. Kelly walks over and stands Rivera up to whip her out then into the corner. Then again! Rivera clutches her back but Kelly whips again, and Rivera falls to her knees. The champion lets her opponent have a breather while we go to break.

ROH returns and Kelly scoops Rivera, and holds her, for a BIG slam! Kelly tosses the armband off but Rivera gets back up. Kelly scoop slams Rivera again, and fans want “One More Time!” Kelly obliges, for a backbreaker! Kelly looms over Rivera as she slowly rises. Kelly suplexes but Rivera blocks. Rivera tries and Kelly blocks back. They battle over suplex control, and River gives up to kick and whip. Rivera runs in but Kelly dodges. Kelly runs in to give a forearm, an elbow and a clothesline! Kelly snap suplexes Rivera down! Fans cheer as Kelly looms over her. Kelly goes for a cover, TWO! Rivera grits her teeth as she gets back up. Rivera throws hands but Kelly scoops her again. Kelly grins as she hits a Fall Away Slam! Fans are loving the power game from the Gatekeeper!

Kelly scoops Rivera but Rivera slips out to BOOT Kelly down! Rivera wants Kelly to get up now, and Kelly does. Kelly runs into a double ax handle! Then another! Rivera has Kelly on the ropes and whips her across the way for a dropkick! Fans cheer the upstart as she keeps on Kelly in a corner. Rivera whips Kelly corner to corner and then runs in, but gets an elbow for it. Kelly runs out but into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Rivera can’t believe she was so close yet so far from a win. She drags Kelly up for furious forearms! Rivera fires up, but Kelly gets her in a fireman’s carry, K-POWER! Cover, Kelly wins!

Winner: Kelly Klein, by pinfall; still WOH World Champion

The Gatekeeper gave the Cherokee Warrior her shot, and survived it. Who are the other five women Kelly promised a golden opportunity?

Well Sumie Sakai comes out to check on Rivera. Rivera won Sumie’s respect in their match, and Kelly takes a mic to speak. “Looks like you’ve got somebody in your corner.” No one may have told her, but Rivera isn’t ready. But if she keeps doing what she’s doing, she’ll not only have the endorsement of a legend like Sumie, she’ll have another shot in the future. Rivera proved she’s ready to be in the WOH Division. Kelly shakes hands and hugs Rivera, but the lights go out!? Because The Allure want to make their presence known. Specifically, it’s the Beautiful People, Angelina Love and Velvet Sky. Mandy Leon is conspicuous by her absence as Sky and Love get in the ring. Sky has the mic as she mocks the “moment” they just interrupted. “Too bad! This needs to be said and you will listen.”

The Allure knows, the fans know, Kelly and friends know, that this is all just crap! Fans boo and jeer but the Beautiful People soak up the heat. It should’ve been Angelina Love in the match, not even whoever Rivera is. Kelly, c’mon. After Angelina pinned her at Best in the World, after kicking her ugly face in, Kelly should’ve been treating Angelina as the #1 contender. Angelina takes the mic as fans continue to boo and jeer. “For years now, Matt Taven talked about there’s a conspiracy in ROH.” He had a point! But now the conspiracy is against the Allure. Kelly assures them there is no conspiracy, just the truth. In WOH, they don’t want “b*tches like you.” Strong words from a strong champion! Will Kelly get through the rest of her six pack before the Allure gets their shot?

 

ROH hears from Kelly, Karissa and Sumie.

“Tonight, ROH, you saw Karissa Rivera put up one hell of a fight.” Kelly doesn’t blame her, because that’s how much this title means to every woman in this division. That is how much the division itself means to them. But women like The Allure don’t deserve to be in this division. Women like Kelly, Karissa and Sumie will show The Allure what WOH is all about. Will this incredible trio kick Allure’s ass all the way out of ROH?

 

ROH has another huge weekend coming up!

First, ROH Saturday Night hits Center Stage Theater in Atlanta on August 24th with a huge Champions VS All-Stars match! Matt Taven joins forces with ROH World TV Champion, Shane Taylor, and the ROH World Tag Team Champions, The Briscoes, in an 8-Man Tag against Jay Lethal, Jeff Cobb, Kenny King and Rush! Which team can work together better to win big in Georgia?

Then on Sunday, August 25th, it is #HonorForAll! Taven is in another Defy or Deny Fatal 4 Way against Lethal, Cobb and King! Can Taven cross off another three contenders from his list? Or will one of them win and become his next contender?

 

Defy or Deny Fatal 4 Way: Matt Taven VS Flip Gordon VS PCO VS Mark Haskins!

ROH continues to travel through time to give us the four-way from Portland when the ROH World Champion took on pre-Mercenary Captain of Flip Army, the inhuman Canadian of Villain Enterprises, and LifeBlood’s Mr. Overkill! If Taven wins, none of his opponents can have a title shot while Taven is still champion. But if anyone else wins, they are the next contender to the title!

Haskins grabs a mic to say that he wants not just the world title, but his part in being the World Six Man titles. Being medically cleared or not, he wants gold! Haskins was fired up, and Portland joined in with the bell!

Jump to PCO on the ropes and Taven going after him. Taven headlocks PCO, but PCO denies the Climax. Taven dumps PCO out but PCO climbs back up. Haskins runs in but is sent into PCO. PCO rocks Haskins, but then Flip runs in. Taven sends Flip into PCO, but Flip mule kicks Taven. Flip slides out to grab PCO, but Haskins adds his Shining Wizard to the POWERBOMB! Haskins then runs to DIVE onto Flip! Haskins drags Flip up but Taven FLIES! Taven wipes Haskins and Flip out “because IIIII’M Matt Taven!”

Jump again, and PCO scoops Taven. PCO has Taven in position, then he grabs Haskins and Flip, DOUBLE CHOKESLAM TOMBSTONE!! But The Kingdom show up, despite being banned from ringside! Well, not technically, as that rule is only for Taven’s title matches. Defy or Deny matches are contender’s matches, so this is legal. However, Taven gets a chair from Vinnie, that isn’t legal! Taven SMACKS PCO on the back! But PCO doesn’t flinch!! He’s not human!! Fans rally for PCO while TK argues with the ref. Taven wants PCO to calm down, but PCO takes the chair for his own! The ref sees PCO SMACK Taven! That’s a disqualification!! PCO ELIMINATES himself!

Jump to when things sort out, and Flip whips Haskins. Haskins holds ropes to let Flip’s dropkick flop. Haskins jackknife rolls into SHOULDER SOLDIER ROLL! Cover, TWO!! Flip survives but Haskins climbs up top. Haskins gives Flip a double stomp! Taven rolls Haskins, with tights held!! Taven ELIMINATES Haskins! Just one left in Flip Gordon! Flip throws forearms on Taven but Taven returns them. They go back and forth, and fans cheer Flip. Taven tells them to shut up, but he just gets another forearm.

Jump to Flip aiming from the apron. Flip leaps but his headscissors is turned into a POWERBOMB through the timekeeper’s table!! Portland says “This is Awesome!” but it’s not over yet! Taven drags himself up then drags Flip from the wreckage. Taven puts Flip in the ring and then Taven climbs up top. Taven hits the King’s Frog Splash! Cover, TWO!! Flip shocks Taven! And then Flip stares daggers into him. Taven SUPERKICKS then headlocks, for no Climax, but a SLINGBLADE! Flip has Taven down now, and fires himself back up. Flip drags Taven into a reverse headlock, for a drop! Cover, TWO!! Taven survives Flip’s take on the Hurricane, but Flip is right on him with a facelock. Flip suplexes for Falcon Arrow! Cover, TWO!! Taven lives but Flip fireman’s carries. Flip spins Taven but Taven counters to CLIMAX! Cover, Taven wins!!

Winner: Matt Taven, by pinfall; completely denies all three

The ROH World Champion crosses off three contenders off the list for as long as he reigns! See this entire match on Honor Club, but know that Taven succeeded, because HEEEEE’S Matt Taven!

 

ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championships: Villain Enterprises VS Shinobi Shadow Squad!

After scratching and clawing, Cheeseburger, Ryan Nova and Eli Isom have their match for the titles! Can they take advantage of Marty Scurll, PCO and Brody King being on the rebound from losing to LifeBlood twice? Or is this just the thing Scurll and his henchmen need to get back on track?

The introductions are made, the belts are raised and the fans are thunderous already for this showdown! The teams sort out and PCO starts, only to be bumrushed by Nova and Burger! The referee has no choice but to ring the bell, and PCO shoves Nova and Burger away! Burger runs back in but gets tossed out by PCO. Nova tries next but PCO tosses him out. The fans fire up as PCO dares Eli to try! Eli doesn’t back down, and now he’s the legal man. PCO gives Eli an open shot, and Eli throws forearms. It isn’t enough, so Eli keeps trying. PCO hits back with an uppercut and then whips, but Eli reverses, only to get run over. Fans know “He’s Not Human!” as PCO scoops Eli and slams him right down! Cover, but Burger and Nova save Eli! Burger and Nova go after PCO together, then both run, to both get run over with clotheslines! Burger and Nova bail back out and PCO controls the ring as we go to one last break.

ROH returns once more as PCO goes after Eli in a corner. PCO drags Eli up and scoops, but Eli slips out and hits Scurll! Eli throws forearms on PCO then runs, but Scurll gets Eli back with a kick. Eli hits Scurll down again, but turns around as PCO runs in. Eli dumps PCO out onto Scurll and Brody! Fans fire up behind the Future of Honor as he builds up speed. Eli hops to the corner, ASAI MOONSAULT! Eli bowls Villain Enterprises over! The Shinobi Shadow Squad regroup and get PCO back in the ring. They all cover, TWO!! PCO is NOT HUMAN! And he’s mad! Nova and Eli run into choke grips, and PCO shoves them both to corners! Burger prepares the hand, and PCO dares him to try. SHOTEI! But it does nothing!? Burger tries again, but runs into a CHOKE SLAM!

Brody tags in and he runs into Eli for a corner clothesline! Then into Nova for another! Brody whips Nova corner to corner at Eli, and then sandwiches them in the corner! Brody CHOPS Nova off his feet, then CHOPS Eli off his feet! Tag to Scurll and fans hit that fever pitch! Brody whips Scurll at Burger, but Burger puts Scurll on the apron. Brody runs in and combines with Scurll for an enziguri splash on Burger! Brody waistlocks Burger and Scurll slingshots, Sunset Flip German Suplex sends Burger FLYING! Eli checks on Burger as he slumps out of the ring. Fans get even louder, if that’s possible, as Scurll stalks Eli. Scurll drags Eli in but Eli avoids the suplex. Tag to Nova and Nova fires forearms on Scurll! Scurll grins, and dares Nova for more. Nova gives more, and Scurll falls to a knee.

Scurll gets up but Nova slaps him! So Scurll SLAPS Nova! Nova rocks Scurll, but falls for 52 Fake-Out! Fans are fired up all over again as Scurll calls for it! Scurll gets the fans to that fever pitch before he spins and shouts, “CHICKEN WING!!” But Nova drops down to a victory roll! TWO, and Scurll dodges Nova’s kick to POWERBOMB! Cover, but Eli breaks it! Brody stomps Eli then whips him into a corner. Brody whips Scurll in but Eli boots Scurll. Scurll runs back in to get a SUPERKICK! Eli runs at Brody, to get a SCRAPBUSTER! But as everyone is fired up, Nova rolls Scurll up! TWO, and Brody BOOTS Nova! Scurll catapults Nova into Brody’s forearm! Then Nova falls back against Scurll’s knees, for Brody to SENTON! Scurll covers, Villain Enterprises wins!!

Winners: Villain Enterprises, Marty Scurll pinning; still ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions

A valiant effort but Shinobi Shadow Squad fail to vanquish Villain Enterprises! Will Scurll and his cohorts take this momentum towards a third match with LifeBlood?

 


 

My Thoughts:

Another interesting episode for ROH here. For a third week in a row, we get highlights from Manhattan Mayhem and Mass Hysteria to keep stories fresh in our minds, to a fairly good effect. It definitely seems Silas Young is winning Josh Woods over, and perhaps vice-versa. The blow-off could be any number of things from this point, so I’m really interested in seeing what they do. Rush beating TK O’Ryan and Taven crossing off members of LifeBlood and Villain Enterprises, I would love if Rush is the one to dethrone Grand Slam Taven. With those major events coming next weekend, Rush could easily be the #1 contender by pinning Taven on Saturday, and then by some insane miracle, Taven wins Defy or Deny again, leaving only Rush left to take him on.

We got a pretty good match from Kelly Klein and Karissa Rivera, though some of the pacing to start seemed slow to favor the still very new Rivera. She’s getting the kayfabe support of former champions, so maybe Rivera does become a champion within the next 12 months. The Allure are getting Go Away Heat from everyone, including me. Angelina Love only wins that belt with interference and screw job stuff, which would not go over well. We need a Six Woman Tag of Allure VS Kelly, Karissa and Sumie first before Kelly crosses off Angelina. Then we can focus on the good stuff of who Kelly’s other secretly selected opponents are. Honestly, I’m not even sure if they have five other opponents for her, unless they bring back some women we haven’t seen on ROH TV in some time. I wonder if Mandy reveals she was one, before joining up with Allure.

Then the Six Man Tag match was great! PCO did so much of the work and truly looked inhuman against the Shinobi Shadow Squad. Burger, Nova and Eli were great even in losing, but it was pretty clear they weren’t going to win. This is going to come down to Villain Enterprises VS LifeBlood once more, and perhaps LifeBlood finally gets those belts to restore them to… Well let’s be honest, the Villain Enterprises designs look better than what the previous design was, so maybe LifeBlood introduces us to a much better fourth design for these belts.

My Score: 8.2/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Drew McIntyre walks to gorilla.

The Scottish Terminator makes his way through the curtain and to the stage, and the fans have a mixed reaction as he goes to the ring. McIntyre grabs a mic, and he says, “After Hell in a Cell, I’ve never been so beat up in my entire life. 16 staples in my head, my back almost broken from landing on the steel steps. And I went home to Scotland. The reason I went home, and I haven’t really talked about it publicly, is because a very close family member passed away. Some people probably feeling sympathy right now. Some guys in the back are probably talking to each other, saying, ‘I didn’t know.’ Maybe if you cared enough, you would’ve asked.

“Over these past two months, guess how many people phoned me to check. Not how I was doing mentally but how I was doing physically after Hell in a Cell. ONE PERSON! These past 17 years, I’ve been led to believe we’re all a big happy family in the back. We’re brothers and sisters, we travel the world together, we spend more time with each other than with our actual families, but it’s all BS! My brother, John, in Scotland wouldn’t stab me in the back to take my spot, but people like Jimmy, Jey and Sami 100% would.” The fans boo that, then chant “YEET! YEET! YEET!” McIntyre says that proves his point.

After watching everything The Bloodline did, Jey says he is a changed man. He does a cute hand sign, he says a made-up word, and the fans just forget about it and move on. That’s the other thing McIntyre realized: He has given and given and given all this time, and the fans turned on him for a guy who was gone for years and has told the WWE fans to go screw themselves! McIntyre was fighting for the fans, he thought they believed in him, so he believed in the fans! McIntyre bled out in the cell, and while he was gone, the fans instantly forgot him! The fans boo, that’s not true! But McIntyre says from now on, he gives no more for anybody!

McIntyre will take and take and he will tell the truth! The real villains are Roman Reigns and CM Punk! And if you choose to prop them up, as he already said, Jey, Jimmy & Sami, the things Roman did to you… Roman took a vacation, then simply snapped his fingers and they were by his side again! McIntyre suggests everyone who ever wronged McIntyre should sleep with one eye open. But wait, here comes Sami Zayn! The fans cheer and sing for Sami but Sami says hey, McIntyre is angry, he doesn’t have to believe Sami in place of believing everyone has ulterior motives. Sami doesn’t blame him.

But personally, man to man, Sami did not know what happened with McIntyre’s family. They figured he was recovering from one of the most vicious matches of all time. Sami thought that, all the guys ‘n’ girls in the back thought, and that’s all the fans thought. Believe that or not, fine, but Sami wants to level with McIntyre. Talk about 17 years, Sami has 22 years in this game. Sami’s been through what McIntyre’s been through. Sami’s had losses. Trust him. He has had losses he had to put on the side and go to work that week. The same sacrifices, from birthdays to weddings to funerals that he should’ve been at? Sami’s done it all.

Sami has put unnecessary stress on his wife, on his kid, and why? Because this is the life that they both chose! They are WWE SUPERSTARS! The fans cheer that! And as such, they are LUCKY to be WWE Superstars! And you think this is just your story or Sami’s story? Y’know who else has stories like this? Every single person sitting in the stands. Every single person at home! The kids who struggle at school, the adults who struggle at work, who struggle economically, physically, and they have their losses and sacrifices, but they still get up every day to do what they gotta do to soldier on, without pointing a finger at everyone else!

The fans fire up for that passion. Sami says McIntyre dares pointing a finger at the fans for forgetting him?! They didn’t forget, brother! They MADE McIntyre! And McIntyre still thinks the world revolves around him just because once upon a time, someone told him he was “The Chosen One.” But newsflash, just because you’re mad doesn’t make you special. And now McIntyre thinks everyone else is somehow tied to him? What Jimmy does has nothing to do with McIntyre. What Jey does has nothing to do with McIntyre! What SAMI does has nothing to do with McIntyre!

But McIntyre, if you want to still walk around all angry and pointing fingers at the fans, at Sami, at Jey, at Jimmy, at Punk, at Roman, and still be mad about The Bloodline, fine. No one is stopping McIntyre. But Sami has no problem being McIntyre’s problem and facing him in this ring right now! McIntyre says if Sami wants to know the truth… IT isn’t just anger. McIntyre’s anger comes from pain, and he doesn’t doubt what Sami just said. There was so much truth and passion, but it’s never the whole truth, is it? Sami has a way of spinning things. Because Sami can fly back home every week to his family. McIntyre is halfway across the world from his!

And no one here in Boston ever leaves Boston, they’re with their families 24/7! McIntyre doesn’t have that luxury! The fans boo that veiled insult, but McIntyre says he will remain calm and ask Sami why he wants this fight. They both know the result, we saw it time and time again, Sami has NEVER beaten McIntyre. So McIntyre suggests, given Sami isn’t 100%, and Sami’s wife and kid are here tonight… Sami should just walk back there, take their hands, and leave this arena. Of all those in the Bloodline, Sami is the least of McIntyre’s worries.

Sami says McIntyre is right about a couple things. When it comes to win-loss records, McIntyre has Sami’s number. And Sami is not 100%. Haven’t been since Saturday Night’s Main Event. And yes, the smart thing would be to just go home, celebrate and get healthy over the holidays. But Sami would so much rather do this. Sami fires hands! The fans fire up but McIntyre shoves Sami away. McIntyre swings, but gets caught! Sami lifts but McIntyre fights free, then GLASGOW KISS HEADBUTT! McIntyre takes aim, but here comes JEY USO! The fans fire up as Jey runs down the ramp, slides in, and then dodges McIntyre to SUPERKICK!

The fans fire up as Jey & Sami DOUBLE LARIAT McIntyre up and outta the ring! The fans “YEET! YEET! YEET!” with Jey & Sami Uso! Will the Scottish Terminator’s mission be ended when Sami and/or Jey shut him down?

 

Adam Pearce is met by Pure Fusion Collective.

The Raw General Manager asks Sonya Deville what he can do for her and she says not much. She knows how stressful this job can be since she once had it. She’s just here to make things easier. And how’s that? Well, Kairi Sane is not cleared to compete, there is an opening in the tournament, and Sonya wants it. Oh, is that so? Y’know, Sonya, that is a terrible idea. They caused this scenario so he’s just gonna reward them? Are they outta their minds? And zip it! Plus, he already filled that vacancy with Iyo Sky. Happy Holidays! PFC is upset by that since Iyo just lost to Liv Morgan, but will there be nothing to stop the Evil Genius now?

 

WWE Women’s Intercontinental Championship Tournament Opening Round Triple Threat: Natalya VS Alba Fyre VS Iyo Sky!

Just as Pearce said, PFC taking out the Pirate Princess will not mean they get away with murder! The Queen of Harts and the Fire Keeper must now figure out how to handle this change to the program. Will Iyo redeem herself for losing Saturday Night’s Main Event by moving on to the next round?

Raw returns and Alba makes her entrance, Isla Dawn seeing her to the ramp, and then Natalya makes her entrance. The bell rings and Alba kicks Natty then ELBOWS Iyo! Alba whips but Natty reverses and Alba tumbles out of the ring! Iyo rolls Natty, TWO! Iyo whips, Natty dodges in the corner and gets Iyo up! REBOUND SIT-DOWN, and then Natty steps on Iyo, only for Alba to trip Natty up! Alba brings Natty out to send into steel steps! But then Iyo DIVES onto Alba! The fans fire up with Iyo and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Natty brawls with Abla. Alba knees low, but Iyo CROSBODIES them both down! The fans fire up and Iyo SHOTEIS Alba! And SHOTEIS her again! And then DROPKICKS her down! Iyo brings Alba around, whips, but Alba reverses. Iyo goes up and out, then blocks a shot to ROCK Alba! The fans fire up, Iyo spirnboards, and MISSILE DROPKICKS! Iyo handsprings up and the fans fire up again! Iyo gets the fans going, but Alba wrenches and facelocks, TORNADO DDT! Alba gets Iyo up again to GOURD BUSTER her onto Natty! Alba then rearranges them into the drop zone!

Alba goes up, the fans are torn, but Alba grins as she SWANTON BOMBS! Cover on Iyo, TWO! Cover on Natty, TWO! But into a KOJI KLUTCH! Natty endures, flails, fights around, but Alba holds on tight! Natty pushes, stacks Alba, TWO!! Natty has the legs! Alba flails now, but Iyo runs up! Natty trips Iyo onto Alba, and she has them both! Natty turns them both over, DOUBLE SHARPSHOOTER!! Iyo and Alba both flail, both claw at the mat, and Alba gets the ROPEBREAK! No disqualifications so Natty can hold on! But now Iyo drags herself under the ropes, and there’s no room left, so Natty has to let go!

Natty rises up and she stalks Iyo to the apron. Natty drags Iyo up but Iyo HOTSHOTS Natty! Natty staggers, rebounds, but Iyo jumps the baseball slide! Natty hits Alba down, and then Iyo PENALTY KICKS Natty! Iyo fires up and springboards, ASAI MOONSAULT! Direct hit on both targets and the fans fire up! Iyo hurries to get Natty up and into the ring, then she drags Natty into the drop zone. Iyo climbs, but Alba CLUBS Iyo first! Alba snarls as she climbs up, but Iyo holds onto ropes! Natty CLUBS Alba and she adds on! SUPER GERMAN SUPLEX on Alba! But Iyo stays up top to go OVER THE MOONSAULT! Cover, Iyo wins!

Winner: Iyo Sky, by pinfall (advances to the semifinals)

The Genius of the Sky moves on, ready to fly against The Morrigan! Will Iyo be able to get past Lyra Valkyria and head for the title?

 

Judgment Day sulks in the clubhouse.

Finn Balor tells JD McDonagh that he can’t believe this. This was supposed to be a Merry Christmas, Finn was supposed to be celebrating with two titles, and now he has none! Liv Morgan tells Raquel Rodriguez to tell Finn that the reason she suggested he stay away from Damian Priest is because she knew this would happen. Raquel starts to relay the message, but Finn has JD tell Liv that she’s got her own problems to worry about and to stay off his back. But then Liv tells Raquel to tell Finn that the reason she’s “on his back” is because he lost the tag titles. JD, tell Liv that Christmas is-

Dominik speaks up to stop the arguing. Christmas IS around the corner, and now they’re not even talking to each other? Dom says he’s gonna go talk with Pearce and get a match with Priest! Dom’s gonna step up for this family. Oh, Dom thinks he’s better than Finn? No, it’s not even like that. Dom has a plan. He’ll talk with Pearce then fill everyone in later. Dom heads out, JD prays for one week of no drama while it’s Christmas. Will Dirty Dom make sure The Punisher pays for screwing Finn & JD over? Or will Priest be given the gift of sending Dom South of Heaven?

 

Sami and Jey regroup backstage.

Sami can’t believe Jey didn’t text or call about the comeback. Jey says, “My bad.” But Sami says it’s fine, he’s happy Jey is back. And thanks for having his back out there tonight and every night, Sami appreciates Jey. Jey thanks Sami for that, and says you know he had to come back for payback. Jey is gonna handle business! Actually, Sami was kinda hoping he could handle McIntyre. Sami talked a big game, he’s gotta back it up. But Sami, you’re not even 100% tonight. Sami knows, but he started something so he has to finish it. Jey says alright. He’s got next! They secret handshake and Jey wishes Sami luck. Will Sami finally get a win on McIntyre in a Christmas miracle?

 

Chad Gable w/ Team American Made VS Akira Tozawa w/ The Alpha Academy!

As “Master” Gable said last week, it was about time he settled things with his past. Will Gable prove to the world that he was always the reason the Alpha Academy was relevant? Or will he find out he can’t keep up with the Stamina Monster?

Raw returns and the #AlphaBabes make their entrance, showing off that new merch while they’re at it. The bell rings and the fans rally up. Tozawa and Gable tie up, Gable wrenches and talks trash right to Tozawa’s face! Gable CHOPS Tozawa down, stands him up, CHOPS him down again, repeat! Gable whips and CLOBBERS Tozawa, then raises the fist. The fans boo more but Gable talks smack on Otis. Gable drags Tozawa up, suplexes, but Tozawa slips free! Tozawa SOBATS, spins, slides under, and SPIN KCIKS! Gable goes to a corner and Tozawa puts him up! But Gable gets Tozawa for a HANGING ARMBAR!

Otis protests, the ref counts, and Gable lets off at 4. Gable says he didn’t break a rule, and Otis never learns. Gable SLAPS Otis, slides into the ring, but Tozawa victory rolls! TWO, but Tozawa SUPERKICKS Gable down! Tozawa rips the shirt off, goes up top, and SUPER SENTRONS onto knees! Gable saves himself and hauls Tozawa up to GERMAN SUPELX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! Gable GERMAN SUPLEXES again! But he isn’t done, Gable spins Tozawa around, and POWERBOMBS him! ANKLE LOCK!! Tozawa flails but he’s so far from the ropes! Tozawa TAPS, Gable wins!

Winner: Chad Gable, by submission

But Gable won’t let go! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but Gable just drops into a GRAPEVINE! So Otis storms in and he drags Gable off the leg! Otis TOSSES Gable! The fans are thunderous, but Team American Made steps up to support Gable. Gable says Otis never learns! But Otis’ hips are moving! He’s shaking, quaking, and the fans fire up, but American Made backs off. Will Gable finally fight Otis and put this beef to rest?

 

The New Day talks backstage.

They still don’t understand how everyone here doesn’t see things their way. But then Dirty Dom walks over, clapping with “New! Day Rocks!” Finally, someone who understands! Dom says he never liked Big E, but uh, no, what they did was crazy. Well, whatever, Broke Ass Tom Selleck! Dom says Tom Selleck wishes! Dirty Dom heads for gorilla, ready to fight for the Judgment Day. But will Dom go from “Broke Ass Tom Selleck” to just broken?

 

Dominik Mysterio VS Damian Priest!

Judgment Day’s history has always been a rocky one, but it has never been rockier than right now. Betraying Rhea Ripley & Damian Priest probably has a lot to do with it, but will Dom be able to smooth things over by taking Damian down? Or will Priest finally beat some sense into #LatinoCheat?

The bell rings and Dom bails right out! Dom dares Priest to come get him, but Priest says Dom needs to get back in the ring. Priest will even give him a free shot! Dom storms up to the apron, steps in, and takes that swing, but Priest blocks it! Then Priest BELL CLAPS Dom, DECKS him, then DECKS him again! Dom staggers around, Priest picks him up to SLAM DUNK! Dom staggers back up, into a torture rack! Priest bends Dom with the Argentine Backbreaker! Priest then THROWS Dom down and the fans fire up. Priest paces around, powers up his arm, and Dom rises. The fans rally and Priest runs, but Dom ducks a lariat!

Dom kicks, CLUBS and KICKS again! SUPERKICK! Then DROPKCIK! Priest staggers but Dom hurries to stalk behind him. Priest sits up first and glares at Dom. Dom panics, but he DUMPS Priest out! Dom builds speed to DIVE, but into Priest’s hands! FLATLINER onto the desk! The fans fire up and Priest drags Dom up to then POST him! Dom falls in a heap, but Priest puts Dom in the ring. Priest then notices a very suspicious Santa Claus. Priest snatches the beard away, and tada! It’s JD! Priest TOSSES JD and the fans cheer! JD wants mercy but Priest SLIDES him across the desk! The fans fire up as Wade narrowly avoids getting hit!

Priest then has a Spider Sense moment, and he looks under the ring! Carlito spits out his apple in surprise! Priest drags Carlito up and TOSSES him into the timekeeper’s area! But then Finn attacks!

Winner: Damian Priest, by disqualification

Finn fires hands, but Priest blocks the desk bump! Priest body shots and SMACKS Finn off the desk! And again, and again! Priest puts Finn in the ring, Dom runs up, but Priest DECKS him! Priest fires more hands on Finn, but the Judgment Day regroups! They mug Priest 4v1 as usual, and JD even drops elbows! The fans boo but the Judgment Day stand Priest up. WAIT! Here comes the War Raiders! Erik & Ivar fire hands on Dom & Carlito, and Priest TOSSES JD! Finn realizes he’s alone, and Priest SUPERKICKS him down! Priest stomps a mudhole into Finn, the Raiders put Carlito and Dom in the ring!

Ivar KNEES Carlito, then feeds him to Erik’s KNEE! The fans cheer, JD gets up, but Priest LARIATS him inside-out! Dom is fed to the WAR MACHINE!! Finn staggers up, but Priest grabs him! And Finn goes SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! The Judgment Day just got further embarrassed, and that’s not even considering JD’s Santa costume. Will the War Raiders be some unlikely allies for Priest in this ongoing war with the Judgment Day?

 

Sit-down interview with Seth Rollins.

Jackie Redmond thanks The Visionary for taking this time to talk with her, and he says it is his pleasure. Jackie talked with CM Punk and heard what he had to say, what Punk believes, when it comes to Rollins’ hatred for Punk. And we have heard from Rollins, as well, but Jackie’s still just curious. What is the root cause, the driving force, of this disdain he clearly feels for CM Punk? Rollins says the thing is, he has tried to explain how he feels many times over the years, and it sort of… Well, he won’t say he’s talking into the wind, but Rollins just feels Punk has needed the WWE more than the WWE needed him.

And so that hypocrisy from Punk is what just eats at Rollins. It is hard for Rollins to let that go. Jackie mentions how Rollins has talked about getting rid of it by “cutting it out” and fighting through it, and how this fight with Punk has to happen as a catharsis. What does “cutting” Punk out look like? What should we expect from, not even so much a match, that doesn’t feel like the right word now. Rollins says it’ll be fight. That’s what we’re getting, no question. It is the biggest fight in their sport right now, and Rollins needs it now. After Survivor Series, seeing Punk hand-in-hand with Roman Reigns… Roman’s finger in the air, Punk doing the stupid Go To Sleep thing…

Rollins just wanted to throw the remote through his TV, he was so viscerally, internally destroyed. Rollins felt that was it, no more waiting. The world needs to see it. This is perfect. The Netflix debut, the world will be watching. But to answer the question, he doesn’t know what it’ll look like. You might see a side of Rollins that no one’s ever seen. No pun intended, it will be raw, visceral, violent. Rollins needs to exorcise this demon from his soul, he has to cut the cancer out of his brain, or he is going down. Then the only way to process the betrayal is to go through a fight, and we get that on January 6th, Raw in LA for Netflix.

Jackie thanks Rollins for the time and his honesty. Rollins says yeah, he can’t wait. Will Rollins truly #BurnItDown when it comes to fight CM Punk?

 

The Miz VS Dexter Lumis!

The Hollywood A-Lister has his own history with the man now turned buzzard, and things are only worse now that this is about the Final Testament and the Wyatt Sick6. Will Miz manage to bury the past once and for all? Or will he get no mercy from Lumis?

Raw returns as Miz waits. A message flashes, “I OPENED THE DOOR,” and then the lights go down. And from that mysterious door to the other side, out steps Lumis. He takes off the Mercy the Buzzard mask, then rushes the ring! Miz scrambles right out as Lumis slithers along the mat! The fans cheer Lumis on while Miz tentatively returns to the ring. The bell rings, Miz wants Lumis to hold on, but Lumis swings hands! Miz bobs ‘n’ weaves, then throws a punch! Lumis just glares at Miz! Miz runs away, Lumis gives chase, and they go around the outside, then back inside! Lumis drags Miz out of the ring to ROCK him!

Miz staggers, Lumis THROWS him into barriers! The fans cheer, Lumis ROCKS Miz again, and then Lumis SMACKS Miz off the apron! Lumis pushes Miz into the ring, Miz bails out, but Lumis goes out to the apron. CANNONBALL! The fans fire up and Lumis brings Miz up. Lumis CLUBS Miz, stalks him, then puts him in the ring. Miz again asks for mercy, but then he tries a cheap kick! Lumis blocks and UPPERCUTS! Lumis scoops, Miz slips free and Miz BOOTS Lumis! Miz runs, but into a THESZ PRESS! Lumis rains down fast hands, then runs to AX HANDLE! The fans fire up and Lumis brings Miz up.

Miz breaks free to throat chop! The ref reprimands but Miz runs, only for Lumis to catch him! URENAGE! Lumis storms around, then goes looks to the corner. Lumis climbs, but wait, the Authors of Pain are here! So Lumis CANNONBALLS onto them! The fans fire up but Kross attacks!

Winner: Dexter Lumis, by disqualification

The Final Testament beats Lumis up and puts him in the ring. Miz stands, confident now that he has reinforcements. Kross says they’ve got Lumis where they want him, but Lumis looks to the sky. Seems it’s the other way around! The lights go down, and when they come up, the rest of the Wyatts are here! They brawl with Final Testament and then send them running! Nikki wants uppies, and Erik Rowan pops her up to POWERBOMB her out onto The Final Testament! Nikki is all fired up as the Wyatts stand together! Will The Final Testament be the one buried and forgotten after all is said and done?

 

The War Raiders regroup backstage.

Erik & Ivar are fired up after getting the better of Judgment Day, and then Priest walks in. He says what’s up, and they give him some pushes and shoves of excitement. Priest says okay, okay, settle down. But that was good, and he appreciates the save. Ivar says hey, they’ve all known each other a long time. And while they haven’t always seen eye to eye, there has always been honor here. They may not be friends, but Priest had their backs in a big way last week and they don’t forget that. They owed him, they got him. Priest respects that. If the War Raiders are at war with the Judgment Day, then he’ll go to war with them.

They all fist bump, and Erik & Ivar say they like the sound of that. Could these three finally tear down Judgment Day once and for all?

 

The zero symbol returns…

And now it’s joined by a pentagram? What could these clues be leading to?

 

The New Day barges out to ringside.

And Kofi Kingston tells Joe Tessitore & Wade Barrett on commentary that no no no no! You do not get to speak about them like that! Woods asks what is going on around here? What happened to unbiased journalism? How long has Tessitore even been with the WWE? Not that long, right? Certainly not long enough to know that his job is not to have an opinion but to tell the TRUTH like they have! But it seems in 2024, no one wants the truth! Certainly not these fans. Wade was sympathizing with E as well! Well that’s fine, because Wade and Big E have something in common. They’re not man enough to lace up their boots again and get in the ring!

The fans boo now but Kofi says speaking of getting back int he ring, allow the New Day to do that and continue to tell everyone what they were trying to tell people before. They did NOT put hands on Big E. They could have, laid him out here in the ring, stretchered out of the building again, but they didn’t! So why is everyone so upset!? The fans keep booing but Kofi says this was supposed to be a homecoming for Kofi, and for the woman he bought a plane ticket for to come all the way here to Boston from Ghana, and that is Kofi’s mom! Kofi’s mom is in the front row! Miss Elizabeth Kingston is here, but she doesn’t seem very amused.

Kofi says his mom sat in the middle seat for 20 HOURS, just to see Kofi, and the fans are ruining her experience! This is his mother! The woman who taught him how to be the man that he is today! She does not deserve to see her son get booed out of his own hometown! Woods says they gave the fans ten of the best years of their LIVES…! Kofi steps back outside to apologize to his mom for the fans. She does not deserve this. Kofi doesn’t understand why they’re doing this. Kofi wants a hug. Miss Elizabeth stands up, but she pushes Kofi! She’s upset with HIM, not the fans! Miss Elizabeth takes her coat and leaves! Kofi is confused, what’s this about?

Kofi calls after his mom but she tunes him out. Though, it might be hard to hear over the fans. Will it ever get through to the New Day that they are in the wrong?

 

The New Day regroups backstage.

And then they cross paths with Rey Mysterio. Woods asks if he’s gonna pile on. Rey says no, it’s not like that. Rey thought about what they said last week, being a locker room leader and all. Rey definitely could’ve handled things better, so he’ll apologize to them. Rey just has the responsibility to help everyone as much as he can. So hey, what New Day did was out of pocket, all foul. And if they want to start fixing things, they can start by apologizing. Whoa, hold up. Them? Apologize to Rey and the locker room? No, they aren’t apologizing, because they didn’t do anything wrong! This is ridiculous!

Rey is just as bad as Big E and everyone else! Why not let Woods pop that mask off again so he can hear them better. New Day did nothing wrong. Rey says okay, fine, que pasa nada. Just don’t say he didn’t try. From this point on, New Day is on their own. And oh, get used to hearing this. “New! Day SUCKS!” With that, Rey takes his leave. After hearing that, will Kofi & Woods have anything but a Merry Christmas?

 

Sami Zayn VS Drew McIntyre!

The Honorary Uce may have just lost to the Scottish Terminator at Saturday Night’s Main Event, but he isn’t going to give up the fight. Will Sami finally get a win over McIntyre as a Christmas miracle? Or will McIntyre ruin the holidays with a Claymore?

Raw returns and Sami makes his entrance. The bell rings and McIntyre kicks low! McIntyre fires hands, then CHOPS Sami in a corner! McIntyre ROCKS Sami, stands him up, and then CHOPS again! The fans are torn but McIntyre paces while Sami sits down. Sami rises up, and he avoids a chop to fire hands! The fans fire up as Sami CHOPS and fires more punches! The ref backs Sami off, but Sami comes back to stomp and punch! The fans rally behind “SAMI USO!” and Sami whips Mcintyre corner to corner. McIntyre reverses, Sami goes up, but McIntyre KICKS him out of the air!

McIntyre snarls and then he deadlift suplexes Sami! Sami writhes and clutches his back, but McIntyre storms over to him. McIntyre STMOPS Sami’s hands! Then he ROCKS Sami with a right! Sami goes to ropes but McIntyre CHOPS him again! The fans “WOO~!” as that chop echoes out! The fans rally for Sami but McIntyre grins. McIntyre whips but Sami KICKS him in return! Mcintyre comes back but Sami TOSSES him out! The fans fire up and Sami builds speed, but then Mcintyre moves so Sami Arabian Presses to land back inside. Sami smiles as he gets the better of McIntyre, and Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Sami is in the corner. McIntyre storms up to stomp away on him again! The ref backs McIntyre off but then McIntyre storms back up. McIntyre drag’s Sami up to the apron, and he suplexes Sami up and into the ring! Sami flounders to the ropes and the ref checks him. Sami says he’s still in this, so McIntyre drags Sami back up. But Sami CHOPS McIntyre! And CHOSP! And fires forearms! Sami whips, McIntyre reverses but Sami ducks ‘n’ dodges, only for McIntyre to tilt-o-whirl BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Sami survives and McIntyre grows annoyed. The fans rally up but Sami writhes form all the damage.

McIntyre stalks Sami to the ropes, eggs him on, and then whips him to ropes. Sami ducks ‘n’ dodges again, and this time Sami tilt-o-whirls to DDT! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Sami and McIntyre both rise up, and McIntyre bails out. Sami storms up to ropes, grits his teeth, and he PLANCHAS! But McIntyre catches him! And then he aims for the desk! Sami fights free, and he DRIBBLES McIntyre off the desk! Sami backs off as the ring count climbs, but Sami goes back for McIntyre. McIntyre stops the step bump to SMACK Sami off the steps! McIntyre refreshes the ring count because he wants to do more damage!

McIntyre stalks Sami up the steps, then lifts him for an APRON BACKBREAKER!! Sami falls and writhes, and McIntyre has a manic look on his face as he watches Sami suffer, but Raw goes to break.

Raw returns once again and Mcintyre has Sami in the Inverted Alabama Lift! INVERTED ALABAMA- VICTORY ROLL! TWO!! McIntyre escapes and runs up, but Sami dodges! McIntyre POSTS himself! The fans fire up as McIntyre flops back, and Sami hurries to the corner! Sami climbs, but his back slows him down! McIntyre ROCKS Sami first! And then CHOPS him! McIntyre climbs up after Sami, fires some shots, then fireman’s carries Sami! SUPER WHITE NOISE! A shoutout to Sheamus and McIntyre covers, TWO!! The fans fire up while McIntyre grows frustrated. Sami stirs but McIntyre watches him closely.

The fans rally and McIntyre drags Sami back up. But Sami cradle counters! TWO! McIntyre GLASGOW KISS HEADBUTTS! Sami falls and McIntyre snarls. McIntyre goes to a corner, and he takes aim at Sami. Here comes the countdown! “THREE! TWO! ONE!” But Sami LARIATS McIntyre! And then a clinch, EXPLODER into the corner! Sami goes to the other side and the fans fire up! Sami aims as McIntyre rises, but that back tightens up. Sami fights through the pain, gets running, but CLAYMORE!! Cover, McIntyre wins!

Winner: Drew McIntyre, by pinfall

That was perhaps the closest Sami’s come, but he was still so far away from victory over McIntyre. 3-0 in 2024, 10-0 overall, and McIntyre stands over Sami to rub it in. Sami is already dazed, but McIntyre rains down fists! The fans boo, the ref reprimands, but McIntyre shoves the ref away to HAMMER Sami down! But here comes Jey, just like earlier tonight! Jey runs in, dodges again, and this time, SPEAR!! Jey has Mcintyre down, but now he goes up! But wait! TAMA TONGA SHOVES JEY OFF THE TOP!! Solo Sikoa & The Bloodline are here! McIntyre is just as surprised, but given the truce they called on Friday, McIntyre takes his leave.

The Bloodline beat down Sami & Jey, which McIntyre loves to see. Tama Tonga rains down fists on Main Event Jey in a corner, but the fans chant for “O T C! O T C!” Instead, Jacob Fatu gets running! But Jey dodges the hip attack! SUPERKICK for Tama! Jey fires haymakers on Jacob! “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Solo steps in to swing, but Jey dodges! Jey ROCKS Solo! Jacob SUPERKICKS Jey! The fans boo as the Samoan Werewolf gets all geeked up! Solo adds his SAMOAN SPIKE!! Solo throws off his jacket, sits Jey back up, but Sami gets in! Sami fires hands, but Tama TACKLES Sami! Tama beats Sami down and fans boo again.

Solo tells Tama to set Sami up, and Tama stomps Sami into the corner. Jacob runs in, to HIP ATTACK! Jacob isn’t done, he puts Sami in the drop zone to go up, up and BEST MOONSAULT EVER! The fans boo but Solo adds on another SAMOAN SPIKE!! Solo roars, then he and his Bloodline stand over the OGs. Jacob adorns Solo with the ula fala, will not even Roman Reigns be able to stop the “Undisputed” Tribal Chief? Will all of the WWE have no choice but to acknowledge Solo Sikoa?


My Thoughts:

A great Raw here to build both the last Raw of 2024 and the first Raw of 2025, aka the Netflix debut. Rollins had a very good interview promo to add just a little more to things, but I feel like there’s little left that they need to say. Very good stuff with Judgment Day, such as the classic “X, can you tell Y…” gag from Finn and Liv. Dom thinking their plan to screw Priest over would work is hilarious, as was how it all fell apart. Priest gets the win from disqualification, but then great save from the War Raiders. Good promo from Priest and War Raiders, love the reference to ROH by saying “honor” there, and that’s a solid Six Man Tag right there.

Fun little bit from Pearce with Pure Fusion Collective, and of course Sonya thought she’d get a second chance, and of course Pearce uses real logic to say no way. Iyo Sky replacing Kairi Sane was announced last week on social media, so I guess Sonya didn’t check between shows. Great Triple Threat from Iyo, Alba and Natty, and of course Iyo won or else why put her in there? Iyo VS Lyra next round will be great stuff, as will Dakota Kai VS Zoey Stark, and whatever combination we get for the title match is going to be great. I don’t think we’ll get DMG CTRL VS DMG CTRL, so if Dakota wins, Iyo loses, and then vice-versa.

Great stuff with American Made and Alpha Academy, but of course Tozawa takes the loss. Otis standing up to Gable & The Creeds was a great moment, and I really hope we get Gable VS Otis for the big Netflix debut. Win or lose, Otis should definitely have a moment where he rallies through Gable and both Creeds, really get the crowd hot before the finish. Miz VS Lumis was good but could’ve been better. With only two hours, I guess they had to trim things down to the basics. Another disqualification finish tonight is a bit much, but I guess it keeps things going until we can come up with some kind of new 8 Man Tag, or even a really wild Mixed 10 Person match so Nikki and Scarlett can get involved legally.

Great stuff with New Day, from their interaction with Dom, then their “interrupting” the show to try and get their point across. It was great to have Mama Kingston there, and I just knew she would be disappointed in Kofi. Good promo with Rey, too, as Rey now leaves New Day out in the cold. I feel like we need a big tag team match to not only have Heel New Day show their stuff against like LWO, Alpha Academy, etcetera, and then they earn their way to a match with the War Raiders to revisit their feud, just with flipped Heel and Face dynamics. That could be some really good stuff as Raw on Netflix paves the road to WrestleMania 41.

And great stuff with McIntyre and the extended Bloodline. He and Sami had a great promo to again bring up family and sacrifice, but also how Roman’s OG Bloodline came back together without Roman ever changing a thing. Great brawls, great saves by Jey, and of course McIntyre won the match. Jey will of course get next, probably also for the Netflix debut, but good stuff with Solo Sikoa and his Bloodline showing up. They beat down Jey & Sami to send a message to Roman, who was obviously not going to be here tonight. There will surely be a response in part on SmackDown, but maybe more verbal than physical.

I feel like the “Transfer Window” will need to put all Bloodline members, old and new, on one brand so the story can be told all on one show. It’d just be easier while Jimmy’s foot is healing, because what can Roman do without backup against Solo, Tama & Jacob? And honestly, still waiting on when and where Hikuleo is going to show up. This is a good time to bring him in with Tonga Loa also hurt, so Solo can get the numbers edge on Roman again.

My Score: 8.8/10
