PLAY BY PLAY
Bayley’s gone BAD!
The Boss was back in blue and badder than ever, and acted like the tag team titles meant nothing. Bayley would not directly comment on Sasha Banks’ actions, but vowed not to be overshadowed by Becky Lynch. And by the end of the night, we would see who was in whose shadow. The Champion’s Showcase went down, Sasha made her move on Becky, and Bayley would help! The best friends are even badder together, but will Becky stay down for the count?
Bayley is HERE!
And she seems to feel great after what she did to Becky last night. Norfolk is divided between loving and hating her, and Bayley doesn’t get it. “Everybody has something to say about what went down last night.” Everyone is “Oh my God, I can’t believe you did that!” But how didn’t they see that? Her responsibility who was with her along the way through good and bad, her best friend. Nothing has changed. Bayley is still trying to show everyone what kind of champion she’s trying to be. She’s trying to lift everyone up with her whole heart. Hugs for the kids! Ever since she started wrestling, she’s trying to make fans feel the way she felt as a kid. And now she has that opportunity. She is the hero and the role model showing kids what it means to be loyal. Bayley would never have turned her back on Sasha when things got rough. The fans deserve the kind of champion on par with Becky Lynch. And Bayley promises to be that champion for a long, long time, starting with beating the most selfish person on the roster, Charlotte Flair.
Charlotte has no idea what it’s like to be the role model that Bayley is being. But speaking of, here comes the Queen! Charlotte struts her way down the ramp and has Bayley scoot over so she can pose. And she asks Bayley, “I’m selfish?” How perceptive, Bayley. Charlotte takes pride in being the Queen of Selfishness. Fans say a lot about Charlotte, but what you see is what you get. There is no confusion, no blindsiding, and definitely no hugging. So Bayley better hug the title real tight because at Clash of Champions… Sasha Banks is here?! Charlotte just smiles, because it should’ve been obvious where one goes, the other follows. So Charlotte DECKS and BOOTS Bayley! Then she brawls with Sasha! Charlotte gets Sasha down to throw hands! But Bayley returns to SMACK Charlotte with a chair! And again! And again!
Fans chant “One More Time!” and Bayley hands the chair to Sasha. Sasha smiles and gives Charlotte a chair shot! And another! And another! Then Sasha hands the chair back to Bayley, and Bayley fires off again! Fans duel, and some want Becky to appear. But The Man doesn’t come around, and Bayley and Sasha stand tall. Will the baddest best friends both hold gold by the end of Clash of Champions?
King of the Ring Quarterfinals: Mustafa Ali VS Elias!
The Beacon of Light still shines after an incredible match with Buddy Murphy in the opening round! As for The Drifter, he benefited from the Best Screwjob in the World when Shane McMahon made himself an official and fast-counted Kevin Owens out of the tournament. But Ali isn’t Kevin, so will he get a fair shake against Elias?
SmackDown returns as Elias makes his entrance. Elias might be jinxing it by crowning his guitar before going to the ring. The bell rings and Ali ties up with Elias. Elias wrenches and wristlocks Ali to the mat. Fans rally for Ali already as Ali uses the ropes to flip through and wring Elias out. Elias gets up but Ali dodges, only to run into Elias’ arms.

Fans fire up and Ali gets to his feet. Elias runs in but into a forearm! And then another! Ali CHOPS and forearms, then whips. Elias blocks and reverses, but Ali dodges and roundhouses! Ali slingshots, somersaults, facebuster! Cover, TWO! Elias rolls out of the ring but Ali just runs again, to DIVE! He rams Elias right into barriers! Both men are down, clutching limbs damaged by that collision.

Elias drags Ali over to a corner and swings the bad leg into the post! The ref reprimands Elias but the damage is done.
Elias drags Ali up but Ali fights back. Ali climbs and brings Elias up with him. But Elias SHOVES Ali away! Ali lands on his feet! The bad leg jams and Ali hobbles. Elias LEAPS, into a SUPERKICK!! Fans are losing their minds and cheering hard for Ali! The ring count climbs as Ali drags Elias up and in. Ali climbs with one good leg, leaps for another 450! But he FLOPS! Elias grabs the leg but Ali kicks with the good one! Elias still drags Ali around, and ducks the enziguri, to SMASH the knee! Ali writhes, Elias drags him up, fisherman to DRIFT AWAY! Elias wins!
Winner: Elias, by pinfall; advances to the semifinals

Backstage interview with Samoa Joe.
The Samoan Submission Specialist survives the quarterfinals, only to be in a rare Triple Threat semifinal match. But he’s here tonight to explain the Triple Threat is an inconvenience. But his path of destruction will lead him to the crown. Joe is here to warn his future competition. Whatever SmackDown finalist he faces, they will be put to sleep, the WWE Universe will #BendTheKnee, and they will all call Samoa Joe the King of the Ring.
Aleister Black speaks.
“Well, if the mountain is not going to come ot me, then I am going to come to the mountain. I am heading down to that ring, and see if there is anyone MAN enough to pick. A fight. With me.” The Embodiment of the End is all out of patience! Who will #FadetoBlack tonight?
Alexa Bliss & Nikki Cross VS Fire & Desire!
The WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions were technically on the losing side of the Championship Showcase last night, but only because Sasha Banks disqualified the match. Will they get back on track as a Clash of Championship challenge is right around the corner?
The teams sort out and Nikki starts with Mandy Rose. Mandy taunts by flaunting her figure against Nikki’s, then she whips her hair in Nikki’s face. Nikki throws forearms into Mandy’s face! Nikki whips but Mandy reverses, but Nikki tilt-o-whirl headscissors Mandy to a corner. Then hits a corner splash to bulldog! Cover, TWO! Nikki and Sonya talk trash but Mandy ROCKS Nikki with a right!

SmackDown returns as Sonya drags Nikki to the corner. Mandy tags in and she drags Nikki up just to push her down. She mocks Nikki to reach for Alexa but shoves her down again. “You will NEVER look like me!” Alexa says no one wants to look like Mandy. Nikki gives Mandy a jawbreaker! But she runs int Mandy’s arms. Mandy goes for the knee but misses! Hot tags to Sonya and Alexa! The Goddess rallies on the Gladiator Gal, standing STO! Double knee drop and a SLAP rocks Sonya, then a divine RIGHT! Cover, Mandy breaks it! Nikki runs in but gets a kick. Mandy goes for the underhooks, but Nikki fights free to crossbody Mandy down and out! Alexa gets up and goes back to Sonya, but Sonya kicks low to kick away.
Sonya knees then fireman’s carries, but Alexa fights free for a BLISS-DT! And then Alexa heads up top, only for Mandy to ram Nikki into apron! That distracts Alexa before she leaps, twisted Bliss gets KNEES! And then tag, Fire & Desire go high and low! Cover, Mandy & Sonya win!!
Winners: Fire & Desire, Mandy Rose pinning
Mandy and Sonya beat the tag team champions! This has to be the shortcut to being the Clash of Champions challengers. Will Mandy and Sonya take the titles from Alexa and Nikki so soon after getting them off the IIconics?
Samoa Joe bumps into Chad Gable.
Joe apologizes for not seeing the “little” guy. Gable says he’s trying to prepare for his King of the Ring match later tonight. Wait, Gable’s in King of the Ring? That can’t be, he’d look ridiculous out there. Like a kid playing dress-up with the crown and cape. The saddest part is that the jokes are tired, but they still hurt. Because Gable is mentally weak. There is no room for weakness in the kingdom. “Good luck, Bilbo.” Joe leaves and Gable does his best to shake it off.
Randy Orton is here!
The Viper has been doing and saying whatever he wants to Kofi Kingston, and has so far been getting away with much of it. Their WWE World Championship match is coming, and Orton is here tonight to speak again. “Clash of Champions is two weeks away. Which means in two weeks, you people are going to have a new WWE Champion.” And it means that in two weeks, Orton proves Kofi is a fraud not on Orton’s level and never has been. Just look at last week: Kofi fell for Orton’s trap hook, line and sinker. But the fans chant Kofi’s name! Orton says the best part about last week was that “sweet, sweet” sound of Kofi’s head bouncing off the floor. Orton has decimated the New Day and the Power of Positivity. And if you think he’s lying, just take a look at the replays!
Three weeks ago, Orton gave all three men of the New Day an RKO! Then the week after that, Orton made Kofi watch The Revival SMASH Xavier Woods’ knee. And then just last week was the trap Orton mentioned, giving Kofi a draping DDT to drive Kofi into the floor. The Viper smirks as he watches his handiwork. Orton will tell Kofi what he’s thinking this week: no more games, no more traps, no waiting for Clash of Champions even! Face Orton like a man here tonight! Orton waits, and the music hits! But no one comes out? Actually, the Revival are beating Kofi up as they move to the stage! It was another trap after all! The #TopGuys club and punch Kofi down the ramp, and there is no New Day to back Kofi up with the injuries Orton’s been giving them. But Kofi manages to fight Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder off! So Orton attacks to take Kofi down himself!
Orton puts Kofi in the ring and drags him around. “STUPID!” Stomp to the leg. “STUPID!” Stomp to the other leg. “STUPID!” Stomp to the hand, then chest! Dash & Dawson get Kofi up for Orton so that Orton can tell him to his face. At Clash of Champions, Orton beats Kofi once and for all in front of everyone, with the there most devastating letters in sports entertainment. But Kofi fights out and fights back! But he’s in a 3v1 and The Revival just mug Kofi on the mat. Orton grimaces as the Revival bring Kofi up. They shove, RKO MACHINE! Orton and the #TopGuys pose together on the corner. Will these three all have titles come the end of Clash of Champions?
WWE has set a match for Clash of Champions!
After finding damning evidence that it was Erick Rowan behind the attempts on Roman Reigns’ life, the Big Red and the Big Dog will have a grudge match to get to the bottom of this! Will Roman get answers out of Rowan while also getting a win? Or will this mystery only take more twists and turns the deeper Roman goes down the rabbit hole?
WWE and Connor’s Cure fight Pediatric Cancer!
Join in and help crush cancer once and for all!
King of the Ring Quarterfinals: Chad Gable VS Andrade Almas w/ Zelina Vega!
Everyone seems to think the former Olympian has little chance of winning a tournament this big. But El Idolo is 100% confident he will be El Rey de WWE soon enough. Will Gable catch Almas off guard like he did Shelton Benjamin? Or is this too tall a task for the tournament’s #1 underdog?
Vega speaks to Gable as one “vertically challenged” superstar to another, she respects and admires how Gable overcomes the odds. And though there are lost dog ads for competition for Almas, Gable could be the next King of the Ring. If Almas wasn’t in the tournament, of course. So unfortunately, Almas will beat Gable tonight. But there is no shame in losing to the future King Andrade! So just keep going, little engine that could. The bell rings, and the final quarterfinal match begins.
Almas ties up with Gable and gets Gable on the ropes. But Gable comes back to waistlock and throw Almas down! They get back up but Almas elbows out hard. Almas wrenches Gable’s arm and whips, but Gable goes up and over to sunset flip! Cover, TWO! Almas kicks low and brings Gable in for a powerbomb lift. Gable resists and slips out to an arm-drag! Then a monkey flip! Fans fire up behind Gable as Gable goes corner to corner. But Almas catches Gable to toss Gable out! SmackDown goes picture in picture as Almas dusts off his hands from dumping out Gable.
Gable slowly gets up while Vega applauds Almas. Almas goes out to CHOP Gable then knee him against barriers. Almas whips Gable hard into other barriers, then soaks up the heat. Almas drags Gable up and into the ring, to then run and basement dropkick Gable in the back! Cover, TWO! Almas wraps on a chinlock right away and grinds Gable down. Gable endures and fights his way up. Gable fights back with body shots but Almas throws him down by his head! Almas CHOPS Gable and Gable winces. Almas goes after the arm, then back suplexes. Gable slips out and sees Almas run in! Gable tries to throw Almas in but it’s more like a full on collision from the two! Almas still crashes into buckles but Gable took just as much damage in that. The referee checks and they’re both okay to continue.
SmackDown returns to single picture as forearms start flying between both men. Almas CHOPS Gable then whips. Gable reverses, breaks free and throws big hands! Gable has Almas in the corner, he ducks the clothesline to mule kick and rolling kick! Vega is worried as Gable hits a running rolling neckbreaker! Fans fire up with Gable as he stalks Almas. Gable wristlocks and chicken wings for an overhead suplex! Bridging cover, TWO! Almas escapes and Vega grows frustrated. Gable watches Almas, waistlocks but Almas bucks him off to BOOT him back! Almas hops up but Gable SHORYUKENS! Gable climbs up while Elias watches backstage. Almas fights the superplex off and puts Gable in the Tree of Woe! Almas WOE STOMPS Gable down! Cover, TWO!! Gable still lives and that frustrates both Almas and Vega!
Almas drags Gable up and hammerlocks, but Gable slips out to a waistlock. Almas standing switches but Gable victory rolls. TWO and Almas knees low. Almas suplexes for uno amigo, then dos amigos. Fans chant “Eddie! Eddie!” as Almas shimmies the shoulders, but Gable waistlocks for a German Suplex! Then another! Gable shouts out the Gold Medalist but Almas elbows free. Almas gets the third suplex! He puts Gable in a drop zone and heads for the corner but his back slows him down. Almas moonsaults, lands on his feet, but gets knees on the second! Fans are fired up as Gable goes up top! Vega freaks out as Gable MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO!! Almas survives Gable’s other shout out to Kurt Angle! But Gable keeps his focus as he watches Almas stand. Waistlock but another elbow sends him away. Almas hip tosses Gable into buckles!
Almas has the knees ready, runs corner to corner but gets buckles! CHAOS THEORY!! But Vega is distracting the ref during the bridge!! Gable lets go in frustration, and Almas is ready, boot to ELBOW! Hammerlock, but Gable powers otu! Rolling clutch! GABLE WINS!!
Winner: Chad Gable, by pinfall; advances to the semifinals
Who came up short?! Because it wasn’t Gable! Vega is in shock, and Norfolk is thunderous for Gable as he continues on! Will the smallest superstar with the biggest heart be the one to wear the crown? Or will Elias make him #DriftAway next round?
Aleister Black VS ???
The Dark Knight of WWE said he would come looking a the fight, and he has come. Who answered the call of the Embodiment of the End? We find out after the break.
SmackDown returns, and it is the Gold Standard that stands before Aleister! Shelton Benjamin circles with Black at the bell!
Benjamin knees low and whips but Aleister dodges and springboards. Benjamin dodges but Aleister sits down cross-legged. Aleister dodges Benjamin’s kick, but Benjamin narrowly avoids Black Mass! Aleister stares daggers at Benjamin, then gets him with the knee trigger! Benjamin bails out but Aleister follows to throw forearms. Aleister puts Benjamin in the ring and punches him away. Benjamin returns the knee with one of his own! Aleister goes down and Benjamin grins. Benjamin goes after Aleister on the outside now with haymakers. Benjamin puts Aleister in and runs at the corner. Aleister elbows and kicks back! Benjamin knees in return, then watches Aleister wobble. Aleister still blocks one punch and throws strike after strike. Benjamin avoids the knee, goes for Dragon Whip, but gets the BLACK MASS! Cover, Aleister wins!
Winner: Aleister Black, by pinfall
Black beats Gold as Aleister wins the fight he called for. But this will not satisfy Aleister’s appetite for confrontation. Will Aleister only be vindicated once he possesses championship gold?
Drake Maverick sneaks around the bowels of the arena, Renee Michelle in tow.
They need to get out of here fast, or superstars will come for his WWE 24/7 Championship. Well they’re not going to do that in the boiler room! But speaking off, here come the Singh Brothers! Sunil misses his ambush attack, but Sunil rolls Maverick up! TWO, and Maverick runs! But look out! Gran Metalik rides in on a trunk! Well, that was easy to avoid, actually… But Curt Axel is here! Roll up, TWO! Maverick hops a trunk and rams it into Axel, but Bo Dallas rolls Maverick! Bo Dallas wins!!
Winner: Bo Dallas, by pinfall; NEW WWE 24/7 Champion
The B Team celebrates Bo’s win! It’s time to #BOLIEVE again! But the chase is on, too. And Maverick lost the title, and a shot at consummating, again. Will Maverick ever get this right?
Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn are here!
The Artist and his like-minded spokesperson are in Norfolk, but the “parasites” won’t get their kicks signing along to the music. Tonight isn’t about the fans, it’s about Shinsuke, THE WWE Intercontinental Champion! Shinsuke is up against one “Andrew Howard”? No that’s not right? Well it doesn’t matter what his name is! As far as tonight goes, Howard might as well be The Miz. And everyone is in store for just a taste of what happens to THE Miz at Clash of Champions! Referee, do your damn job and ring that bell.
Shinsuke Nakamura w/ Sami Zayn VS “Andrew Howard”!
The bell rings, Nakamura and “Howard” circle. Sami talks trash on the mic as Nakamura fires off on “Howard.” The kicks make Sami laugh in glee. Nakamura throws vicious forearms, but “Howard’ SLAPS Nakamura. “Big mistake, son!” Nakamura fires off knees on the man as Sami taunts “The Miz.” Nakamura stomps away, then puts the substitute on the top rope. Sami’s favorite: Top Shelf Knee! And we all know what’s next: KINSHASA! Cover, Nakamura wins!
Winner: Shinsuke Nakamura, by pinfall
“That’s how it’s done!” Sami shouts. But does Sami think it’ll really be that easy when the real Miz gets to fight Nakamura?
But wait, the 24/7 Championship chase spills out into the ring from the crowd! Axel tries to defend Bo but the Singh Brothers and Gran Metalik appear. They swarm the ring, and Metalik throws the Bollywood Boys out! But Axel tackles Metalik to the mat! Wait, Maverick comes up and gets Bo! Maverick wins!!
Winner: Drake Maverick, by pinfall; NEW WWE 24/7 Champion
Rockstar Spud has his title back! And he throws The B-Team out! Maverick makes a run for it as he celebrates. But wait! The coat rack for the King of the Ring cape, is JUST R-TRUTH!! Truth sneaks up, rolls Maverick up, Truth wins!!
Winner: R-Truth, by pinfall; NEW WWE 24/7 Champion
The 14-time champion! The greatest of all time! The chase is on again, but will Maverick get the belt back before the end of the night?
Daniel Bryan is here!
And as he stated in text statement, he demands an apology for both the Spear and the assumption that he had anything to do with Erick Rowan’s actions. Bryan takes up a mic as fans chant and duel. “It finally looks like we have a group of people who believe me.” Because Bryan knows how it looks to everyone else when there is video footage of Rowan attacking Roman! People think Bryan is guilty by association! But Bryan has said this entire time that he has had nothing to do with it. There are a lot of people who may not like Bryan, may not like Bryan’s opinions and message and mission, but what NOBODY can say is that Bryan is a liar! Bryan has never lied to any of the fans. And the truth is, fans are right that Bryan HATES liars.
So here is what Bryan wants. Bryan wants an apology for Roman Reigns. Not just for the accusations, not just for the Spear, but for calling Bryan a liar! And here comes Roman! Roman stares Bryan down, but Rowan attacks from behind! The Big Red rams the Big Dog into barriers! And then steel steps! Then he drags Roman up to TOSS at the apron edge! Roman collapses and Bryan pulls Rowan off. But Rowan shoves Bryan away! Rowan is enraged as he lifts and BOMBS Roman at the post! But Rowan isn’t done there. He puts Roman in the ring and looms over him. Norfolk rallies behind Roman, but Rowan clamps on the IRON CLAW! And then, the SLAM! Rowan takes up the mic to tell “Big Dog, get up.”
Did Roman think Bryan did this? The joke’s on him and all of us. Rowan waves at Bryan. Bryan is just as bad as the fans! He thought he could control Rowan?! Rowan is no one’s puppet. Bryan slapped Rowan over and over again. So maybe Bryan should step into the ring and show how much of a man he is now! Rowan dares Bryan to do it! And then he tells Roman, “I’m proud of what I’ve done to you.” Rowan was proud of the accidents and the hit-and-run. But Rowan is most proud of the pain Roman will feel at Clash of Champions. And then, he throws Roman out of the ring, to go out and take up the other steel steps! Rowan aims at Roman, to SMASH him in the face with the steps! Then Rowan tears the cover off the announce desk.
Bryan tries to stop Rowan again, saying they’re friends! Rowan won’t be controlled, so Bryan SLAPS him! Rowan claws and SLAMS Bryan through the desk!! “Nobody tells me what to do!! Never again!!” Rowan is his own monster now! Will he soon make this his Yard? Or will the Big Dog recover to take a bite out of the Big Redwood?
My Thoughts:
A pretty great SmackDown tonight! And with a natural opener of Bayley explaining herself. There is some coherence to what Bayley is saying. She is putting her friendship with Sasha and her desire to be the best before being nice, and in a very Heel way, she twists her actions around. The NXT Four Horsewomen are all still on Clash of Champions, and they are both going towards the PPV with a lot of momentum after the Heel turn and them beating down Charlotte together. I feel like this is an all or nothing for Bayley & Banks, especially if they try to help each other. Now this gets rid of my idea of a Survivor Series showdown of friends turned enemies, at least right now. But this could turn into a situation where Bayley & Banks have both singles titles, and go after the tag titles together. They could even do it at Hell in a Cell in Hell in a Cell. Bliss-Cross lost tonight, but I can’t see them losing the titles so soon, despite how good Mandy and Sonya looked in the win.
Tonight’s King of the Ring matches were amazing! I was a bit surprised Elias won so cleanly against Ali, but it was still an incredible showing from both. And then, with Samoa Joe rubbing in Gable’s insecurities, it was great for Gable to win tonight. He and Almas had an amazing match, and this was one of those star-making moments. Gable VS Elias can be and hopefully will be a great match to keep up with Raw’s Triple Threat next week. And at this point, Samoa Joe VS Gable might be our King of the Ring finals at Clash of Champions. And should that happen, I definitely feel like Joe wins, but after Gable puts on one hell of a match with him. Black VS Benjamin tonight was good for mostly filler, so hopefully Aleister gets to fight for a title after Clash. Nakamura and Sami were alright in squashing and trash talking the jobber, but this build of them and Miz hasn’t been that great. I’m sure the match makes up for it, but still. At least Sami’s going all in on being an obnoxious manager.
Orton’s segment with Kofi went about as expected. He talks trash, tricks Kofi, and stands tall. Why haven’t they made their world title match a No Disqualifications match? Sure, that opens things up for The Revival to attack Kofi with Orton, but the story feels like it should escalate their matches. Unless we’re saving such a thing for Kofi VS Orton 2019 round 3 for a Hell in a Cell match. The 24/7 Championship stuff tonight was great! And I love that it technically main-evented with Truth’s greatest reveal yet! This title will never not be hilarious. And then an honestly great moment to make up for last week’s awkwardness, Rowan did it for Rowan! He is the mastermind! But I feel like WWE advertised Roman VS Rowan too soon. I get that Roman would want a fight with Rowan just on video evidence, but tonight should be the motivation behind making it for Clash.
My Score: 8.5/10

Results:
The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System
Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb.
Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.
KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.
AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.
Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali
Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.
Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.
Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.
This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”.
ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee
ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.
Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!
Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber
Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.
.@milanmiracle and @AriannaGraceWWE make history as the first father/daughter tag team in TNA!

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa
Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.
Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.
International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona
A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.
Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!
Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!
Overall Score: 4.5/10
Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?
Go home TNA, you’re drunk.

The Rogue Luchador still has that target on his back, not only because he could go to the finals with his win and Yoh’s loss, but because he is THE IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.

And CHOPS again! Despy “falls over” and that puts on more pressure! Eagles flails while Despy just lounges. Eagles crawls over, pushes Despy out of his way, and has the ROPEBREAK!
The fans applaud and Red Shoes calls the break. Despy claims he needs help, but Eagles fires hands! Despy lets go, but he kneels on the bad leg! Eagles has the ropes again, Red Shoes counts, and Despy finally stands. Eagles crawls away, but he refuses to let Red Shoes stop this. Despy drags Eagles up but Eagles fires body shots and forearms!

Well, to clarify, the legs are usually the target, but Despy gets his knees up to jam Eagles! Both men are down and the fans rally up again. Eagles and Despy stir, then crawl for each other. They go forehead to forehead, then rise up to go forearm for forearm! The fans rally as the shots go back and forth! Despy slaps his leg into working, ROCKS Eagles, and then stands.

The Bone Soldier fails, and now Desperado is NOT going to the finals! Desperado will now be on the outside looking in, waiting for his next challenger.
Speaking of which, Kosei Fujita now makes his way out here to be face to face with Yoh. Yoh holds the ropes open for Fujita to step into the ring. Fujita and Yoh get face to face, and Fujita points at the tag title on Yoh’s shoulder, because he also wants that belt. Yoh knows, since he and Wato took it from Fujita & Eagles. But Yoh dismisses Fujita, they’ll meet again on June 1st. Yoh then takes up the mic to tell Fujita, “Ya bastard… I’ll show you true chaos! Now, just one more win. In Ota, the best wind will blow.” Yoh drops the mic to leave it at that. Will that wind be the winds of change? Or will Yoh fail to bring down The Mighty Japanese Young Punk?
Here are the FINAL B Block standings!
YOH: 6-3, 12 points [FINALIST]
El Desperado: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
MAO: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
Taiji Ishimori: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie Eagles: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
SHO: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Nick Wayne: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Kevin Knight: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Titan: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ryusuke Taguchi: 3-6, 6 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
A great night to wrap round nine and therefore the round robin portion. No repeat BOSJ finalists, which is actually great because now we’ve got a fresh match-up. Taguchi VS Knight was still a great match for not affecting outcomes, and Knight gets to return to AEW with a win. The flipside is Titan gets a win over Nick Wayne, I really do think it books itself, Nick VS Titan for the ROH World TV Championship on Grand Slam: Mexico. Christian Cage can even be condescending to Nick over how Nick didn’t make it to the finals, adding to that feud. Nick can beat Titan in the rematch, then get in Christian’s face to make a match for All In: Texas, or at least Supercard of Honor where ROH titles should be showing up anyway.
Great stuff with Mao and his team against Sho and the House of Torture. I was pleasantly surprised that Mao won, and I wonder if the House of Torture goes to a DDT Pro show to battle it out with Strange Love Connection. Mao winning also added great drama to the remaining matches, Despy VS Eagles was awesome stuff, probably the actual best match of the night. Yoh VS Taiji wasn’t quite as hot going by the crowd, but Yoh getting the win to shut the door on Despy was good. Yoh VS Fujita will be great, a bit hard to call, but that makes it fun.
My Score: 9/10
