PLAY BY PLAY
Raw was rough for Rusev.
He might have beaten a bothered and anxious Seth Rollins to become WWE Universal Champion, but then a home-wrecking reckoning would go public. His wife, Lana would lock lips with Bobby Lashley! What will the Bulgarian Lion do now that his Ravishing Russian is with a Rocky Mountain Machine?
Randy Orton VS Rusev!
Things just went from rough to brutal! The Viper and the Lone Wolf King are beating Rusev down together! This is in anticipation of Team Hogan VS Team Flair at Crown Jewel! Fans troll Corbin with “STD!” and Rusev fights back! Orton and Corbin bail out and regroup as Rusev glares at them. But Bobby Lashley is on the titantron! Lashley gets Rusev’s attention and sees the bad time. Meanwhile, Lashley’s feeling real comfortable right now in Rusev’s robe. And though Lashley looks way better in the robe, this does mean something: he’s at Rusev’s house. And if he’s at the house, he’s in Rusev’s room. And if he’s in Rusev’s room, then this is Rusev’s bed. Lashley strips down and gets in that bed. Nice…!
But if Lashley is in Rusev’s bed, then that must also mean something else is here. It’s LANA! The Ravishing Russian is in her own silky robe, and her own silky lingerie. She climbs into her bed with Lashley, and says she owns everything! And that goes for the money, too! Rusev should’ve been spending his money and time on Lana, not on his family in Bulgaria. Oh, is Rusev not having fun? Lana is! Her, and Lashley. Lana starts unstrapping her bra!! Lashley turns off the lights, and who knows what is happening now. Corbin and Orton laugh at the man with no wife, no home and nothing else to lose. But with nothing left to lose, Rusev’s wrath is unleashed! He runs at Corbin and runs him over! Then tackles Orton into barriers! Fans cheer Rusev but Corbin attacks. Rusev still puts him into apron and steel steps! Rusev scoops and throws Orton into the barriers! Then he bounces King Corbin off the steel!
Fans are on Rusev’s side in this as he takes up steel steps, to SMASH Orton! And SMASH Corbin! And SMASH the other steps! Rusev’s rage will not stop, he gets in Orton’s face over laughing at him, and then throws Orton into a post! “Laugh now!” Corbin somehow gets up, only for Rusev to MACHKA KICK him into the front row! And then he turns back to Orton, for a MACHKA KICK that sends Orton into the front row! Rusev throws steel steps in anger, then more steel steps in more anger. Rusev’s rage is for the home-wrecking Lashley, but who will suffer in Lashley’s place?
Last Woman Standing: Lacey Evans VS Natalya!
The Woman’s Right and the Sharpshooter have not been enough to end this feud of Sassy and “Nasty,” but there isn’t really room for manners when the fight won’t stop until someone can’t stand. What won’t the Model Soldier and the Queen of Harts do to each other tonight?
Raw returns, and Lacey literally has a trash can with Natty’s name on it. This is the “end of the road,” and that is when the trash is taken out. After that “nonsense” Natty pulled, there is only one place left to go. And that’s why this Last Lady Standing Match is happening. And the lady standing at the end will be Lacey, while trashy Natty- Speaking of, here she comes! Natty is smiling, eager to get after Lacey without restraint. The bell rings, and this match begins!
The two circle, Natty tackles Lacey to a corner and fires off hands. Lacey shoves and swings but Natty ducks to clothesline! Natty sends Lacey out and then into barriers! Natty brings Lacey up to SLAP, then throw into barriers again! Natty stomps Lacey but then puts her in the ring. Natty sees Lacey exit so she hurries around the corner, to back drop Lacey down! Fans cheer as a count starts, but Lacey gets up. Natty kicks her around, then SLAPS her again! Lacey goes to the timekeeper’s area but Natty is on her with a snap suplex! Natty kicks Lacey while she’s down, but Lacey kicks Natty back! Both women get up but Natty puts Lacey in the ring again. Lacey gets up but gets the DISCUS! Natty grabs the legs, to step through, and turn over for the SHARPSHOOTER! Lacey could tap all she wants but she has to suffer this hold! But Lacey powers up, crawls for ropes, but no ropebreaks here, either! Natty drags Lacey away, then stomps her down.
Natty bounces Lacey off the mat now, and again, then tells her, “You like that, you nasty-” Lacey hits back and throws Natty down now! Lacey is up on her feet while the ref counts to 5. Natty stirs but we’re at 8. Natty rises at 9! Only for Lacey to kick! Natty grabs the leg, throws Lacey down by it and kicks her down again. Natty snap suplexes, then kicks Lacey more. Lacey gets to the apron but Natty runs over. The dropkick misses wide, and Lacey brings Natty out to swing into the barriers! The count begins again, and climbs to 5 again. Natty sits up at 7, and stands at 9, only for Lacey to BOOT her down! Lacey goes under the ring, for a TABLE! Fans are happy to see that, but then Lacey tricks them. A Lady doesn’t want to use that. Natty is still down as the ref counts again. We pass 5, then get to 8, but again Natty is up. So Lacey throws her into steel steps! Raw goes to break as Natty writhes in pain.
Raw returns and Lacey whips Natty into the timekeeper’s chair! Natty crashes down and the red counts. The cont reaches 5, and Lacey has a kendo stick! This is something a Lady will use. She waits for Natty to stand, and Natty does at 8, to get a SMACK! Natty is back down so the count begins again. Natty starts stirring but Lacey SMACKS her again! The count starts a third time, but Natty is stirring. Lacey takes a seat in the arm chair as she watches Natty crawl. Natty starts to rise at 7, then 8, and is up at 9! So Lacey throws her into a post! Natty is down again and the count begins again. Lacey grows annoyed as she watches Natty. Natty sits up at 7 but Lacey tells her to stay down. Natty is up at 9.5! Lacey puts Natty in the seat and straps her in with the kendo stick! Lacey BOOTS Natty and the chair over!
The count begins again and that stick traps Natty! The count reaches 5 as Natty pulls on the stick. The stick comes out at 8 and Natty hops up at 9! Lacey gets the stick back to SMACK her back down! And again! And again! But Natty kicks back and they fight over the stick. Natty monkey flips Lacey! Natty has the stick and SMACKS away on Lacey! Lacey kicks Natty, takes the stick back, and tosses it aside. The count begins again, Lacey watches Natty stir. Natty wills herself up at 9.9!! Lacey bounces her off the apron! Lacey puts more kendo sticks in, and SMACKS Natty again! Natty bails out but Lacey pursues. Lacey drops Natty with a neckbreaker! “COUNT!” The ref does count, and Lacey tells Natty to just give up. The count passes 5 once more, but fans are rallying. Natty stirs at 7, Lacey brings the can over, and SMASHES Natty with it! And then she dumps the trash on Natty! Lacey gets up on the barriers and taunts fans, to then MOONSAULT onto Natty!
Another count begins as Natty is down. Lacey is growing frustrated as Natty refuses to stay down! Lacey drags Natty up to the ramp, to suplex onto it! Natty writhes from the impact and the count begins again. Lacey looms over Natty but isn’t satisfied. She drags Natty up to throw into the LED wall! Natty slides down the quarter pipe and Lacey drags her back up, to bring to commentary! The desk becomes part of the action and Lacey clears it off. King, Dio and Vic clear out while Lacey has the ref count. The count passes 5 again, and Lacey thinks this is finally it. Natty is up at 9.99!! Lacey puts her on the table and hops up to join her. Lacey drags Natty up, to SUPLEX on the table! Natty falls to the stage floor as the count begins again. Lacey lounges on the desk and says this is it. Fans wouldn’t mind “One More Time!” and Natty is up at 9 again! So Lacey throws her back into the LED wall! Natty slides down but Lacey brings her back up, and to the edge of the stage!
Natty fights back, and snap suplexes Lacey in return! Then she picks Lacey up, to POWERBOMBÂ OFF the stage!! Lacey crashes through spare tables and fans are thunderous! The count climbs, Natty wobbles to her feet, and Lacey is still down!! Natty wins!!
Winner: Natalya
And that’s the end of that! The Queen of Harts stands tall on the desk to celebrate her triumph over the Sassy Southern Belle! What will this mean for Natty come Draft day?
WWE fights breast cancer!
Join the fight, save lives!
Aleister Black speaks.
“Monday Night Raw. A place of competition and a place of tradition.” That tradition is battle. Battle is something Aleister desperately requires. Because underneath the “calm and collected demeanor,” we all know that is not who Aleister really is. Aleister is “as unforgiving as fire, and as cold and permanent as death.” All of this tells the other superstars that he is “forever restless.” So someone, please knock on his door to pick. A fight. With him.
The Street Profits get hype!
It’s October, but Raw feels hot like Summer. Lacey and Natty are barely walking, Aleister wants a fight, and SmackDown is starting fresh on Fox. Montez Ford and Angelo Dawkins look forward to the WWE Draft! OH YEAH! Each brand, each network, specific rosters on Friday. First on their prospects list is Apollo Crews. A blue chipper you don’t sleep on. Next, Buddy Murphy, the Best Kept Secret that is looking to get out. Third, Drake Maverick? The 40-Year Old Virgin. No no, he’s not a virgin, he just hasn’t “done that thing” since putting on the ring. But if he knew what he was doing, he’d have done it.
But before all that, there is BIG BUSINESS tonight! The magician of the boxing ring, the Gypsy King, Tyson Fury! And after Friday, Braun Strowman might be the one to #GetTheseHands! That is to say, Fury took offense to Strowman just about throwing the Show-Off, Dolph Ziggler, on him! Fury will be here tonight to address those actions.
Speaking of, backstage interview with Tyson Fury!
Why is he provoking Strowman? He wasn’t doing anything of the sort. Strowman threw Dolph at him, but Fury lost his cool. Tonight, Fury is a guest, and he wants an apology. If Strowman doesn’t apologize, then Fury’s gonna make sure Strowman gets his hands.
Robert Roode & Dolph Ziggler VS The Viking Raiders!
And speaking of the Show-Off, he and his GLORIOUS tag team partner are looking to show they’re here to stay as the Raw Tag Team Champions. But can Erik and Ivar impress both the draft committees and WWE management in one fell swoop?
Raw returns as the tag team champions arrive. The titles aren’t on the line but the champs do need to be careful. Erik starts against Ziggler with the bell.
Ziggler and Erik circle and Ziggler gets a leg. Erik drops down, gets Ziggler up, but lets up at the ropes. They go again, and Ziggler gets a leg. Ziggler moves up to a waistlock but Erik switches and trips Ziggler up. Erik has Ziggler on the mat with a front waistlock, then gets up. Ziggler counters with a facelock but Erik puts him on the ropes. ERik backs off again but Ziggler pokes an eye! Ziggler hops on and has a modified chinlock. Erik works his way up and around to trip Ziggler up and turn him over for a deadlift slam! Tag to Ivar, and the Vikings have Ziggler for the scoop slam! Then Ivar is a human weapon, scoop slam senton! Fans cheer for that one as Ziggler bails out. Roode checks on Ziggler and he’s okay, but Roodei s still upset. Ziggler gets up and in, but tags out to Roode. Roode watches Ivar closely as he enters.
Roode and Ivar tie up and Roode waistlocks. Ivar is too big to lift and Ivar throws Roode off! Ivar scoops Roode but Roode slips out to chop block! Roode kicks the leg and Ivar hobbles. Roode clubs Ivar in the head, then kicks the leg more. Ivar kneels but Roode toys with him. Ivar gets mad and runs Roode over! Ivar roars as he tags in Erik. The Vikings go at Roode, corner splash, shotgun knees! Then human weapon, hip attack! Roode flops down but Ziggler drags him out for safety. The Vikings come for them and Erik rocks Ziggler! Erik throws big hands and puts Roode in the ring. Erik has Roode in a mounted armlock, but Roode endures. Erik grinds Roode down as fans rally. Roode fights his way up and knees low. Roode elbows Erik then CHOPS him back. But Erik gives Roode Ace Ten Mao! Erik roars in Roode’s face as he scrapes him out. Ziggler and Roode regroup again, but Ivar and Erik watch them closely.
The ref tells Ziggler and Roode to return to the action, and Ziggler helps Roode get into the ring. Erik is on Roode with a running forearm in the corner! Then he whips Roode corner to corner, for an Exploder! Erik clotheslines Roode out hard and Ziggler hurries to Roode’s side! Fans cheer while Ziggler wants a timeout! There are no timeouts in wrestling, but Raw does go to break.
Raw returns and Erik rocks Roode with rights in the corner. Erik whips Roode to ropes but Roode reverses to knee low. Roode throws Erik to the apron, but Erik fights Ziggler off. Erik hits Roode, too, but Ziggler trips him! Roode throws Erik into the barriers! Roode hurries into the ring and distracts the ref as Ziggler hits the satellite DDT on Erik!

Cover, TWO! Ziggler grows frustrated, but he drags Erik back over. Tag to Roode and Ziggler stands on a hand. Roode stomps Erik’s head, then suplexes him! Float to the cover, ONE!

Ziggler tags in, he runs at Erik, but Erik bucks the Zigzag off. Ivar tags in. Ziggler gets caught, THOR’S HAMMER! Cover, the Viking Raiders win!!
Winners: The Viking Raiders, Ivar pinning
Assuming the WWE Draft keeps the Vikings on Raw, the raid will head for the Raw Tag Team Championships! They beat them once, can Erik and Ivar beat Roode and Dolph for the gold?
Aleister Black is ready.
“On second thought, I’ve seen how this plays out.” He’ll go to the ring next, and see if someone wants to pick that fight with him! Who will step up to the Embodiment of the End’s open challenge and #FadeToBlack?
Raw returns with the Singh Brothers in the ring.
Samir & Sunil felt that a WWE Showcase would not be complete without the greatest tag team on 205 Live, the Bollywood Boys, making a huge return! And they are going to give everyone an example as to why they’re the top draft picks for Raw and SmackDown! They pick, that fight, with Aleister!
Handicap Match: Aleister Black VS The Singh Brothers!
Speak of the devil and he shall appear! Or at least, the man with the devil on his back. Aleister returns to action on this very important night, but will he make the #LightsCameraAndBollywoodAction #FadeToBlack?
The bell rings, and the Bollywood Boys dance. Samir runs into a ROUNDHOUSE! Sunil is in shock! Aleister merely scowls as Samir slumps out of the ring. Suni runs into a roundhouse of his own!

Sunil jumps on Aleister but gets an elbow! Dragon Sleeper! Sunil taps, Aleister wins!
Winner: Aleister Black, by submission
Cut, print, that’s a wrap! Will the Embodiment of the End become a star player on Raw? Or will he help SmackDown strike fear on Fridays?
Backstage interview with Braun Strowman.
Tyson Fury is in the building, and wants an apology. The Monster Among Men’s response is that SmackDown was just a little bit of fun. But if Fury wants to be all serious, then Strowman will get serious. Fury better ask nicely for that apology, or Fury will #GetTheseHands. Whose hands will be flying when the Gypsy King confronts the Monster?
Backstage interview with Rey Mysterio.
The King of Lucha Libre returns, arm in a sling, to thank everyone from superstars to fans for thinking and praying for Dominick. In a weird way, Mysterio has never been prouder, because Dominick took that beating like a man. Those physical scars will heal, but his emotional scars will take time. Dominick will rest up and be ready for the ring. As for the “victimizing” at the hands of Brock Lesnar, it only hurt when he couldn’t stop “that disgusting bully” Lesnar from going after his son. Mysterio felt like he let Dominick and all of his family down. And then when they’re in the hospital, his godfather walks in. The former two-time UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez stepped up, because he is the only man to truly make Lesnar afraid. Cain is going to DESTROY Lesnar! He will avenge the Mysterios against the Beast! Will history repeat itself from UFC to WWE?
The Authors of Pain have another message.
Akam and Rezar say that “when you grow up in a war zone, you learn quickly to fight for every scrap of food” for you and your family. They great up thousands of miles apart, but it was fate that they grew up the same way. They each have the will to take something from another man for the sake of their own. No one in the WWE Tag Team Division has that same killer instinct. They were born this way, raised this way and enjoyed living this way. They have the will to take food and money off your table, and even take your careers. They will do violence in the WWE. That same will to do violence means they will write their opponents’ names in the history books. That is why they are the Authors of Pain! Who will be the first names on the AOP’s list?
Six Man Tag: The OC VS Lucha House Party!
The Good Brothers and AJ Styles lost to Strowman and the Vikings last night, but look to rebound against Kalisto, Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik. Which trio makes a big impact on their draft odds here tonight?
Raw returns as LHP makes their entrance in full regalia and with full pinatas! The trios sort out, and we begin with Styles and Kalisto, the current WWE United States Champion and a former United States Champion.

Metailk tags in and Anderson misses in the corner. Lince helps Metalik get air for the splash! Cover, TWO!

Anderson hoists Lince up top and throws forearms before he climbs up to join him. Lince fights back and forearms Anderson down. Lince stands, leaps, crossbody! But he bounces off the cover!

Then Gallows hauls Metalik up with Anderson, MAGIC KILLER! Lince gets in but gets stomped down! Styles hops up, and the Golden Lynx is fed to his SUPER STYLES CLASH!! And that is what the OC calls Too Sweet! Will these three be able to stick together in the WWE Draft?
Raw presents a new Miz TV!
The Hollywood A-Lister is here, ready to bring a golden edition of the Most Must-See WWE Talk Show! Last week was a huge premiere week, with all the celebrities coming to see Miz! The Rock electrified like only he can. Cain Velasquez shocked us all as he ran Brock Lesnar off. Tyson Fury almost threw down with Strowman, and Miz is looking forward to their moment later tonight. But right now, he welcomes his guests, starting with The Man, Raw Women’s Champion Becky Lynch! Becky makes her way out to the ring, holding the belt she still has high and proud. And as Becky takes a seat, she greets Bakersfield. The Miz then introduces the NEW SmackDown Women’s Champion, The Queen, Charlotte Flair! Charlotte walks out as her historic tenth title reign begins, blue robe and gear matching the blue on the belt. Charlotte has Miz hold the ropes open for her, then takes a seat with him and Becky.
Miz congratulates them both for their big PPV wins. Becky beat Sasha Banks inside Hell in a Cell while Charlotte made Bayley tap out again. It feels like yesterday that Miz and Becky were working on The Marine 6. But now Becky is on the cover of magazines, the WWE 2K20, and maybe she should start being on cereal boxes! Becky says that’s all great, especially cereal, but the fact is, Sasha beat Becky all the way through Hell, worse than most ever have. But if Sasha was here again, Becky would remind The Boss that the Man kicked her ass! Speaking of, Charlotte beat Bayley again, and Charlotte is once again champion. This milestone tenth reign, it’s good to be the Queen. And they’re both champions again, at the peak of their careers, with a WWE Draft coming. The Draft can change careers, directions, and could either separate or unite “the two most dominant women in all of WWE.”
Dominant women or woman? We’ll see how dominant everyone is when they both take on the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions, Asuka and Kairi Sane! As beat up as Becky is, she’ll prove herself again against Asuka. Asuka beat Becky, that is a wrong Becky wants to correct. Charlotte is always professional. Right, with the belt Becky made famous. After Charlotte made Becky famous. Fighting words between frenemies get them both to get up out of their seats. Becky Two Belts was the past, but Charlotte’s been The Woman ten times. Quality over quantity, Charlotte. But speaking of the Kabuki Warriors, here they come! The Miz likes where all of this is coming as the Empress of Tomorrow and Pirate Princess walk out with their belts.
Asuka shouts in Japanese that he Kabuki Warriors are here! And they’ll prove they’re the better champions! Those two? Champions? Asuka and Kairi laugh at Charlotte and Becky! Kairi can’t take how great Asuka-nee-san is on the mic. And Charlotte, Becky, please calm down. Because they sound so stupid arguing right now. Becky has been wanting this fight, and here it comes! The Kabuki Warriors rush the ring and we have a brawl! Miz clears out so all the champions can fight! But Kairi gets Becky down while Charlotte rams Asuka! Asuka drags Charlotte down but Becky turns things around on Kairi! Becky gets Kairi’s arm but Kairi slips out. Asuka also gets away from Charlotte and a ref appears to restore order. Becky and Charlotte don’t want that, they both wreck Asuka and Kairi with dropkicks! The Man and Queen taunt the #JoshiRoyalty while Raw goes to break.
Championship Showcase: The Kabuki Warriors VS Charlotte Flair & Becky Lynch!
Raw returns and it’s time to throw down! Will the new WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions prove they’re better than the Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champions combined? Or will the frenemies prove they don’t even have to get along to get a win?
Asuka starts against Becky and they tie up at the bell. They go around, Asuka headlocks, but Becky powers out. Asuka runs Becky over and roars, but Becky is up fast. They circle again and tie up. They go around and Asuka puts Becky in a corner. The ref counts and Asuka SLAPS Becky. Becky scowls before firing off forearms on Asuka! Becky hits a forearm smash and fast stomps in the corner! She backs off, to then drag Asuka up for a SLAP of her own! Becky eggs Asuka on but Asuka grinds foreheads. Asuka swing a kick but Becky gives kicks back.

Becky calf kicks Kairi down! Both are down but Charlotte shouts. Becky and Kairi crawl, hot tags to Asuka and Charlotte! A familiar feud in Empress and Queen as the Queen rallies! Charlotte CHOPS away on Asuka, and has her in a corner. Charlotte whips corner to corner, then CHOPS Asuka down! Charlotte dares Asuka to get up, then gets her in a BIG back suplex! Charlotte kips up and fires up with Bakersfield!
Asuka gets to a corner but dodges Charlotte, only to get the backbreaker! And Natural Selection! Fans rally as Asuka bails out to regroup with Kairi. But Charlotte won’t let them be, she goes to the corner and climbs! Charlotte MOONSAULTS onto both Kabuki Warriors! Fans are fired up as Charlotte puts Asuka in. Charlotte has the leg, Figure Four, but Kairi runs in. Charlotte throws Kairi with an Exploder! Asuka is on the outside, Charlotte slingshots into a knee! The Kabuki Warriors get control back as we go to break.
Raw returns and Kairi rocks Charlotte. Kairi clubs away on Charlotte and throws her down by her hair. Kairi fires up as she climbs to the top. Charlotte stands, but catches the crossbody enough for a Fall Away Slam! Both women are down but crawling for their corners. Hot tag to Becky! The Man rallies on the Pirate Princess with forearms, uppercuts and kicks! Becky runs to forearm smash! Fans fire up but Asuka runs in, to get a Becksploder! Becky climbs now, and missile dropkick Asuka down! Kairi back hands Becky hard! Then she drags Becky to a drop zone, before dropping a short elbow. Kairi then prepares to weigh anchor as she climbs up. But Becky is up to elbow Kairi back! The two brawl and Becky tosses Kairi down! Becky hops up, and hits the Man’s Leg Drop! Cover, but Asuka shining wizards Becky off! The ref reprimands but Asuka backs off.

The brawl goes Asuka’s way but Nikki rocks her out of the ring! Alexa ROCKS Kairi, neckbreaker to DDT! The Goddess and the Loony Lass are running wild! Will they be looking for retribution, regardless of where they’re drafted?
Roman Reigns leads the real “big fight.”
Connor’s Cure brings a new crop of youngsters that need our help in the fight of their lives. No one should go through cancer alone. #BelieveInTheFight!
Backstage interview with Apollo Crews.
The WWE Draft is coming, what does Apollo hope to prove against Riocchet/ Well those two go way, way back, so Apollo is honored to be in a match with a friend. But this Draft is about opportunity. Apollo’s been patient, but tonight, “it’s nothing personal.” This will be Apollo’s showcase.
The Viking Raiders speak.
“Ziggler. Roode.” Tonight, they joined the ranks of the fallen, and they learned that NOTHING and NO ONE will keep Erik and Ivar from their fate. They will become NEW Raw Tag team Champions in their match next week!
Backstage interview with Ricochet.
The One and Only heard what Apollo said, and if SmackDown brings Ricochet away, this last night on Raw is very important. So it means so much to share the ring with a legit best friend. Ricochet agrees, this is business. But this won’t be a swan song but the transition to a fresh start. Whether it is SmackDown or Raw, Ricochet will always show superheroes are real. Ricochet heads out for his Showcase match with Apollo!
Ricochet VS Apollo Crews!
Best friends put friendship aside long enough to showcase their skills! Who will impress the most with a win just days before the Draft decides their futures?
Raw returns and the bell rings. The two tie up and Ricochet wrenches. Apollo wrenches back then waistlocks to slam Ricochet down. Ricochet works his way up and reaches for ropes but Apollo German suplexes! Ricochet lands on his feet to arm-drag Apollo back! Ricochet has the arm but Apollo gets up. Ricochet whips corner to corner but Apollo reverses. Ricochet goes up and over and things speed up, Ricochet huricanranas but Apollo handsprings through it! Ricochet kips up and the two grin as they stand off. Fans cheer the athleticism and handshake. Ricochet waistlocks then headlocks. Apollo powers out but Ricochet rolls off his back. Both men run, Apollo bounces Ricochet out with a shoulder! Ricochet avoids a slingshot, Apollo moonsaults but lands on his feet. Ricochet hops up, moonsaults but also lands on his feet as Apollo dodges. They get in the ring, keep moving at high speeds, and Apollo dropkicks Ricochet! Cover, TWO!
Ricochet gets to a corner to slow things down, but Apollo is on him with clubbing forearms. Apollo drags Ricochet up to suplex, and holds him there for a count of 10! Fans cheer Apollo’s strength as he brings Ricochet up again. Ricochet hits back with elbows and haymakers, then whips. Apollo reels Ricochet in but Ricochet arm-drags him away. Ricochet dodges in the corner, shoulders back then bumps Apollo off a buckle before kicking him away! Springboard lariat hits! Standing shooting star does, too! Cover, TWO! Ricochet keeps his cool as he gets up and goes to the top. Ricochet aims and 450’s, but has to roll through as Apollo evades. Apollo walks into the dropkick-flip but he boots Ricochet back! Then enziguris him inside-out! Standing moonsault hits! Cover, TWO! Ricochet grits his teeth as he toughs it out, but Apollo is right on him. Apollo lifts but Ricochet spins to sunset flip. Apollo slips out, RECOIL! Cover, Ricochet wins!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall
As quick as a hiccup, this match ends! Apollo himself is surprised, but the King of Flight gets the better of him tonight. Where will both starts shine after the WWE Draft sorts things out?
Jerry “The King” Lawler welcomes Tyson Fury!
The Gypsy King finally makes his way out to the ring with security ready at ringside. Fury is happy to be in Bakersfield, but he isn’t happy about what went down on SmackDown. He demands his apology! Braun Strowman heads to the ring! But Fury is not intimidated as Strowman joins him in the ring. Strowman gets himself a mic and says, “Look man, I was messing around trying to have fun with you.” That is, until Fury looked like he wanted a piece of this. Strowman gave him a “present” with Ziggler, but the security was the only reason they didn’t throw down. The last thing Fury wants is to get in Strowman’s ring. Strowman will literally eat Fury for lunch! Fury says Strowman should thank security, or he would’ve knocked Strowman out! That’s where Fury has it wrong. He’d be down looking up at the light. Not like that slow ten count against Wilder! Well the Heavyweight Champion wonders how many titles Strowman’s won.
The two big men now stand face to face, and Fury shoves Strowman! Strowman powers Fury to a corner! Security rushes in to separate the towering titans, but fans want to “Let Them Fight!” Fury calms down, only to LEAP onto Strowman! Strowman and Fury get what shots they can but security breaks them up again. Strowman slip sout of the ring but security scrambles to stay on him. Fury gets the security off him and throws big hands! He dares Strwoman to return but has to DECK more security! Strowman does the same on his end! Now it’s just Monster and Gypsy King! They brawl but superstars rush out to break this up! Strowman and Fury have men like Mojo Rawley, EC3, Curt Hawkins, Eric Young and more on them, but that’s not enough! Strowman breaks loose to SPLASH Fury! But Fury throws hands back as the superstars separate them again. The fury in Fury and Strowman doesn’t go out, Fury gets loose to give some back to Strowman!
The superstars pile onto both men and pull them apart one more time. Fury and Strowman glare daggers at each other, and the fans want this to continue. But Strowman starts to leave, only to come back and attack! This is getting hard for some of the superstars to keep up with! Fury stands tall on the ropes, but Strowman gets loose to bring him down! More superstars are needed, and finally Strowman takes his leave. The Monster Among Men didn’t fall, but neither did the Heavyweight Champion. When and where will these two meet again to try for round two?
Backstage interview with Strowman.
Has his opinion changed about Fury? Fury is a “tough son of a b*tch,” but he’ll get these hands before it’s all said and done with! Will Strowman apologize? NO! Not after that disrespect! Strowman doesn’t “play that crap!” Fury just eggs Strowman on from the ring, so Strowman barrels back out there! The hands start flying and it is chaos all over again! Raw has to end here, but will the brawling ever end?!
My Thoughts:
Okay, I think this Raw After Hell in a Cell made up for said Hell in a Cell, or at least Hell in a Cell’s ending. We cut into Rusev getting beat up by Orton and Corbin, and oddly no one comes to his aid, such as “Shorty” Chad Gable. But Lashley and Lana riling Rusev up, this actually worked out for the better as Rusev wrecking Orton and Corbin was a lot of fun. Rusev VS Lashley should be a lot of fun, too, whenever it happens. The Last Woman Standing match was a lot better than I certainly expected. The real win in this long rivalry of Lacey and Natty is that Lacey’s gotten better in the ring to finally catch up to her solid character work. Natty wins mostly so that when the WWE Draft comes, it is likely Natty is lined up for a championship match, possibly against Charlotte. Lacey should probably also go to SmackDown, as continuity dictates she can’t challenge Becky while Becky still has the Raw Women’s title.
It seems The Viking Raiders might already be staying on Raw, if they’re going to be facing Roode-Dolph for the titles next week. Tonight’s match was already great, so next week’s match should be on par if not amazing. Even if they aren’t destined to win, the Draft should just leave them on Raw to keep the suspense. The Street Profits might be called up via the Draft to stick to Raw, since they are still being used to recap and hype the events in their own entertaining way. SmackDown’s Tag Division might need the Authors of Pain. Akam and Rezar had another great promo, and if they’re starting Heel, they can run through Face teams like Heavy Machinery or even The New Day. And depending on the fate of 205 Live, the Singh Brothers are probably going to be jobbers to the stars no matter what. Aleister Black beating them both was great for him, but I would think he could easily fit in anywhere.
The OC put down Lucha House Party, and their movements could determine a lot of other things, too. Styles has the US title still, so if he moves to SmackDown, Nakamura moves with his Intercontinental Championship to Raw. And then The OC could feud with The New Day up and down the card on Fox. Mysterio will probably go to SmackDown for his part in the story with Lesnar and Velasquez. The Miz is staying on Raw and USA Network because of Miz & Mrs. Miz TV tonight was a lot of fun. Good continuity for Charlotte and Becky to keep bickering, but what a great thing for The Kabuki Warriors to embrace being Heels. They gave a great promo because it was in their first and more natural language, and had a great match with the top two champions because they honestly should. Of course, the mist stays part of the strategy and that’s fine. Bliss-Cross attacking is fine, they should be after the Kabuki Warriors for payback. Is it still possible to have a huge tag title match on the way to Survivor Series? Can the networks work together to still give us a #WinnersTakeAll Two Women Power Trip of some kind?
Ricochet VS Apollo was filler, but still great for as little time they got. Apollo can’t seem to catch a break despite being so good. Ricochet is still on a great roll, and part of me wants him and Mustafa Ali to end up on the same show so that they can be a superhero themed tag team. They might even be a team that feuds with AOP, who do come off sounding like supervillains. And then we get to Fury and Strowman, which we should’ve all known would turn into a brawl. They also had good banter, and it was great for Strowman to be so mad that his interview wasn’t enough to cool him off. If anything, that was just to check how much time they had left before giving us the brawl to close things out. This celebrity match will admittedly be some fun, but I would hope it ends in some kind of draw so that a legit boxer isn’t made a fool and a WWE star isn’t buried for the sake of the company’s fat Fox paycheck. At the very least, the two men should come out of this respecting each other for being such strong monsters.
My Score: 8.5/10

PLAY BY PLAY
JOHN CENA IS HERE!
The fans already chant “Let’s Go, Cena!” “CENA SUCKS!” before the music even begins! Then they sing along, “JOHN CENA SUCKS~!” as Cena walks out in the custom London merchandise. Cena goes to the ring, “The Last Time Is Now” towel draped over the back of his head like the other times, then he sets the towel on the apron. Cena grabs a mic, the fans continue to duel, and Cena winds up before bringing the mic up. Only for Cody Rhodes to make his entrance! The fans sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” The pyro goes off, Cody high-fives the fans in the front row and along the ramp, then he heads to the ring.
We get the second “WHOA~ OH~” and pyro before Cody pounds on the steel steps and steps up into the ring. Cody and Cena circle each other a bit before Cody grabs himself a mic. The fans finish singing the song, “YOU’LL FOLLOW ME UNTIL THE END~! I AM MY KINGDOM!” The fans cheer, then change to singing, “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cena steps to Cody but Cody tells him, no no no. We listened to Cena talking for two weeks, so allow Cody to do his job for him! Cena will cook Cody, end him, but where does he want to start? There is so much to make fun of when it comes to Cody! For starters, Cody’s lisp.
Cody will give him this one: Stardust! Fans cheer for “STARDUST! STARDUST!” Cody says that must bother Cena, that is who he is wrestling at WrestleMania 41, his final time! What else can Cena go after? Oh, yes! Cody spots it in the crowd and brings up the “arm tattoo on his neck.” The fans again sing for “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cody keeps going: He got booed in a company he helped make. But Cena won’t go for that. Maybe Cody is struggling with the idea that Superman is truly dead. The fans duel for “Let’s Go, Cena!” “CENA SUCKS!” Cody says this brings him to his next point: Cena’s words have not matched his actions.
For these last two weeks, Cena has lied to the audience. The fans boo, and Cody says they used to ride together, sing Poncho & Lefty. Cena surely cared about Cody, and he for sure cared about the fans. Don’t even look at Cody, look at the fans and tell them the real reason why. The fans chant, “You Sold Out!” while Cena thinks on his words. Cena says he is not going to reduce himself and punch down to Cody’s level. Cody’s been protected long enough. Cena also won’t “cook” Cody, he’ll just BURY him! Just like Cena has buried everyone else! The fans have been saying for years that Cena buries talent. Cena doesn’t bury talent, he IS talent! Cena BURIES mediocrity!
Cena doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the lisp or his failures. Cody has manipulated his way to the top of this business, and his ego outweighs his ability. All Cody has done is ride the coattails of Cena’s success! Cena has been so great, that the WWE could hand the heartbeat of this business to Cena’s chauffer! That’s right! Cody, your champion, is nothing more than Cena’s chauffer. A slimy pickpocket that thinks just cuz he stole the blueprints, he can run the kingdom! That is WHY Cena did it! Because it disgusts him! Cody sat by Cena’s side for YEARS, and stole every secret he needed to be undeniable, but he is still underwhelming.
Cena tried to drill it into Cody’s egotistical skull. Cody has to be authentic because fans can see through phony. Cody is too polished, too rehearsed, and relies on lazy gimmicks like fans singing his name just to get by! The fans boo, but then also sing, “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cena says Cody is just like the Pied Piper! All he’s ever done is find a way to make a catchy tune trick the people into loving mediocrity. Strip away the music and entrance, there is not much to look at but that pinstriped suit. But you could walk Cena out in silence, and you can bet your last dollar that he could body you before your first breath!
Cody Rhodes does not look like John Cena, doesn’t act like him, and doesn’t work like him. But Cody also doesn’t look like himself, act like himself, and work like himself, because he is still afraid to show who he is. So what do we get instead? Cody gives us a generic mix of every superstar he’s ever loved and every TV show he’s ever watched, in some big confused blob, that makes him still look like a 16-year-old kid taking acting lessons, because he is too afraid of public speaking. Cody Rhodes has shown Cena ONE thing, and the one thing is that someone mediocre wearing something meaningful is all it takes to trick the people!
Cena has worked too damn hard to make THAT a symbol of mastery to have it paraded by a paint-by-numbers, sociopathic nepo-baby who is so into himself that he had his wrestling gimmick tattooed for the world to see! It’s not where the tattoo is, it’s what the tattoo IS that exposes Cody for who he is: a common fan like the rest of them. So after WrestleMania, it’ll be great for Cody! He can go to Fanatics, buy the toy belt, call himself the fans’ champion, because the last real champion is taking that belt home forever to expose Cody for who he is: an errand boy that got lucky! Fans are actually fired up behind Cena!?
Cody tells Cena that he didn’t expect this. But maybe Cena is right. Maybe Cody was chosen. But you know who chose him? The fans did. Can Cena say the same? Or was it some guy in an office who isn’t even here anymore and we can’t even talk about him? Yeah, let’s go ahead and go there. Stirp everything away from Cody, does he know who he is? He’s a wrestler like his father before him, and if anyone is a corporate creation, it is Cena and not Cody! Gosh, everyone is so terrified of Cena on the mic but Cody isn’t not. Cena had more d*ck in his promo than in his jorts! Making fun of Cody for looking like he’s a kid?
Well, Cena’s the one who hangs out with Zac Efron and wishes he was 16 again! And thanks for the softball saying Cena created all of this and he created Cody. Well, Cena created a lot of disenfranchised fans that made it easy for Cody to pack up, go somewhere else, and say, “Hey! Look at me!” Cody tells Cena not to act like he cleaned up his room before he packed up for Hollywood. And while we’re at it…! There are two of them in this ring right now, and what Cody is about to ask might punch a giant hole in Cena’s logic. Between the two of them, which one of them sold out to The Rock? The fans again chant at Cena, “You Sold Out!”
Cody tells Cena that Cena is still Cody’s hero. But Cena is also a POS. Cena smirks while fans repeat that. Cena says just like all the fans’, Cody’s head is full of feces and not facts. Cena has worked 100 times harder than Cody and never once in all of that was he ever protected from the audience, or the superstar, present company included, taking their best shot. Everyone knows that every time Cena steps in the ring, it is a challenge to every superstar to take their strongest swing to see if they are worthy to put Cena down. NO ONE has been worthy! So Cena has just decided to do it himself. That’s why Cena has never left, has always been here.
No matter how high the hill is to climb, no matter what garbage they give him, Cena finds a way to make it great. Cody had to leave because Cody realized that at best, he can’t even wipe Cena’s ass! Cena makes empires for billionaires! All Cody ever did was steal money from their kids. “See you at WrestleMania, champ.” Cena turns to go but Cody wants to remind Cena, that all the time Cody has been here, never once has an audience ever chanted, “You Can’t Wrestle.” Cena hears the fans repeat that and he turns red int he face! Cena storms back into the ring, he and Cody square up, but then Cena smirks again.
Cena tips his hat and then takes a swing! Cody catches him! CROSS RHODES!! Cody smooths out his suit while he stands over Cena. Then he points to the sign while fans sing, “CODY! CODY RHODES~!” Cody holds the belt up before he exits, will Cody do very much the same in just 19 days?
The New Day VS ???
Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods demanded a shot at the WWE World Tag Team Championships, but they were told to earn it. If they’re truly the best tag team in history, will they have absolutely no problem beating a mystery opponent? We find out, after the break.
Raw returns and Adam Pearce walks out. He reminds the new Day that they need to earn their title shot, and so London, please help in welcoming Tyler Bate & Pete Dunne! New Catch Republic is back! The London fans fire up as their Big Strong Boi & Bruiserweight are here, will they be the ones to earn that tag team title shot?
The teams sort out and Bate starts with Woods. The fans chant “Welcome Back!” as Bate and Woods circle. They tie up, and Bate wrenches to a knuckle lock. Bate rolls, then catches Woods with headscissors to bring him to the corner! Bate waves to the fans, tags Dunne, then RANAS Woods away! Dunne runs up to CLOBBER Woods! The fans fire up again and Dunne brings Woods up. Dunne bends the fingers, isolates Woods’ arm, and STOMPS it! Bate tags in, goes up, and he uses Dunne to KNEE-BOARD SENTON! Bate waves to Kofi,. Kofi runs in, but Bate DUMPS him out! Bate builds speed, Dunne CLOBBERS Kofi while Bate FLIES to hit Woods!
The fans fire up for their guys as they high-five, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Woods keeps Dunne from Bate. Dunne reaches out but Woods sends him into ropes. Woods then CHOKES Dunne, but stops at 4. Kofi CHOKES Dunne behind the ref’s back! Woods then runs to DROPKICK Dunne in the back! Cover, TWO! Dunne stays in this, but Woods grins as he soaks up the heat. The fans rally for Dunne as he rises, and Dunne CHOPS! And CHOPS! And forearms! Woods ROCKS Dunne, puts him back on ropes, and he tags Kofi. Woods holds Dunne down for Kofi’s APRON SENTON! The fans rally for NCR but Kofi AX HANDLES Dunne down! Cover, TWO! Kofi keeps Dunne down with an armlock.
Dunne reaches out, even as Kofi adds a chinbar. The fans rally, Dunne fights up, but Kofi CLUBS him! Kofi whips Dunne to the corner, Dunne goes up and over! Then hot tag to Tyler!

AIRPLANE SPIN! The fans cheer as Bate goes around and around, TEN, then the THROW! The fans fire up while Bate is a bit dizzy. Bate wobbles but he tags Dunne. Bate then runs at Kofi, Dunne meets him, TOP BIN! And the LARIAT GERMAN SUPLEX COMBO! Cover, Woods breaks it!
The fans rally up, Woods dodges Bate to BOOT him! Dunne kicks Woods, then puts him through ropes! Woods swings on Dunne, but Dunne grabs that hand! Dunne SNAPS the fingers! Woods falls, Kofi runs up! S O S! Cover, TWO! Dunne survives and Kofi is furious! The fans rally up, but Kofi brings Dunne up and tags Woods. New Day double whip, but Dunne KICKS Kofi! Dunne mule kicks Woods,. STOMPS Woods’ hands, but Woods ducks! BUZZSAW hits Kofi! Woods BACK SUPLEXES, but Dunne lands out! Tag to Bate! Bate blocks a kick, Bop up, BANG connects! Tag back to Dunne, then Bate runs up.
Woods puts Bate on the apron, but Dunne GAMANGIRIS! Dunne lifts Woods but Woods CLAWS Dunne’s eyes! Kofi YANKS Bate off the apron! Woods RAMS Dunne into buckles! Tag to Kofi, and then DAYBREAK!! Cover, New Day wins!
Winners: The New Day, by pinfall
New Catch Republic’s return was ruined, all because the “best” tag team had to cut corners! Cathy Kelley interviews New Day, congratulating them on the win. They felt deserving of a title opportunity, but do they feel this win cements that? Woods asks if Cathy is slow. They obviously deserve the title match, and they want it now! Kofi says they did what they said they would, and now they demand what they are owed! That is a title match for THE WWE World Tag Team Championships! Well, here come the War Raiders! The fans fire up as Erik & Ivar storm out on stage, belts on their shoulders, and they stare down with The New Day.
Erik & Ivar are always ready, so will they and New Day take this all the way to Las Vegas?
Jey checks on Jimmy.
The Usos are pumped up. Jey knows Jimmy told him earlier, but Jey would just feel better if he was out there with Jimmy tonight. Jimmy knows that, but tonight is different. Jimmy knows the world is doubting Jey. But tonight, Jimmy closes that noise. Gunther’s a big deal, but so is Jey. And so is Jimmy. Ain’t no Ring General, just a man who is beatable. Tonight, Jimmy beats Gunther. At WrestleMania, Jey beats Gunther and becomes World Heavyweight Champion! YEET! They shake it out and then Jey holds on. “I hear you. Just be careful.” Jimmy nods, and Jey heads out. Will #BigJim make good on his word? Or will Gunther get back at him for last week’s slap?
Jimmy Uso VS GUNTHER!
Raw returns as Jimmy is in the ring, and then Gunther makes his entrance. The bell rings and the fans rally as Jimmy stares Gunther down. Gunther grins, then he and Jimmy circle.

Gunther goes outside, Jimmy leaps off the apron, into a CHOP! Gunther APRON BACK SUPLEXES Jimmy, then reels him in for a short arm LARIAT! The fans are torn while Gunther looms over Jimmy, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Gunther drags Jimmy by an arm. The fans rally while Gunther eggs Jimmy on. Gunther dares Jimmy to slap him, then winds up, but Jimmy blocks the shot! Jimmy SLAPS Gunther after all! And mule kicks! And UPPERCUTS! And SUPERKICKS! Jimmy dodge a lariat to GERMAN SUPLEX! And SUPERKICK! The fans fire up as Jimmy unloads his arsenal! Gunther is in a corner, Jimmy runs up, but into a SHOTGUN! Gunther hauls Jimmy up and reels him in! GUNTHER BOMB! Cover, but Gunther lets off?! Gunther shakes his head, because this is not enough! Gunther wants to send a message to Jey!
The fans chant “ONE MORE TIME! ONE MORE TIME!” as Gunther kicks Jimmy around. Jimmy rises, but Gunther BOOTS him! Jimmy staggers, into a LARIAT! Cover, but again Gunther lets off! The fans are torn as Gunther sadistically lets this continue. The fans chant “YEET! YEET! YEET!” while Jimmy sputters. Gunther eggs Jimmy on, stalks him to the ropes, then CHOPS Jimmy on the back! SLEEPER!! Jimmy is caught, he is OUT! Gunther wins!
Winner: Gunther, by submission
Der Ring General shows how truly dangerous he is, and he puts the World Heavyweight Championship back around his waist. But then he decides he isn’t done! Gunther hauls Jimmy up and into the SLEEPER!! The fans chant “YEET! YEET! YEET!” and here comes Jey! Jey rushes the ring but Gunther lets Jimmy go, only for Jey to TACKLE him! The fans fire up as they brawl, and Gunther is retreating! Jey pursues, he throws hands, but Gunther shoves Jey away! Gunther runs away into the crowd and the fans boo. Jey dares Gunther to finish what he started, but Der Ring General is going to make him wait. Will Gunther regret all of this once WrestleMania arrives?
Raw returns and…
Jey helps Jimmy to the back, but then Gunther CLOBBERS THEM BOTH! Der Ring General then THROWS Jey into steel steps! Gunther pushes the steps apart, then he hauls Jey up. Gunther CHOPS, referees and producers and security all rush out here, and they stop Gunther from hitting Jey off the steps. So Gunther takes a guard and POWERBOMBS him on the steps!! And he BOOTS another guard! Then he POSTS Jey! The fans boo but Gunther grabs a zip tie off the security guard?! Gunther straps Jey’s wrist into one, then CLAWS Jey’s face! The fans boo but Gunther ties Jey to the bottom rope!
Jey tries to fight free but he’s stuck as Gunther drags Jimmy up! Gunther whips Jimmy hard into barriers! The fans boo and Jey swipes at Gunther, but he can’t reach him! Gunther kicks Jey, then slides into the ring. Jey tries to get Gunther even now, but Gunther taunts him with the world title. Gunther soaks up the heat, even as Jey pulls at the zip tie as hard as he can! Gunther says this is as close as Jey will ever get! Jey is not on Gunther’s level! He is not a superstar! The fans boo, Gunther taunts Jey more, but Jimmy’s back up! Gunther BLASTS Jimmy with the belt! The fans boo and Gunther continues to taunt Jey.
Jey is furious, but the zip tie is tough. Jimmy flounders back up?! Gunther sets the belt down and lets Jimmy get in the ring. Jimmy is busted open from taking that belt to his forehead! Jey tells Jimmy to get away but Gunther drags Jimmy up! GUNTHER BOMB!! Jey is enraged but he can’t get free! Gunther rains down fists on Jimmy, painting himself with Jimmy’s blood! Gunther even tastes the blood, and the fans tell Gunther he’s sick! Gunther shoves Jimmy towards Jey so Jey can grab Jimmy’s hand, but then Gunther sits Jimmy up for HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! And the SLEEPER! Jey is enraged but there’s nothing he can do!
Refs and producers get in the ring, they tell Gunther to stop, but Gunther just keeps taunting Jey! Gunther lets Jimmy go, and he’s covered in blood like a damn psychopath! Pearce is finally here and he asks what the Hell is wrong with Gunther! Gunther raises the belt and soaks up the heat, will Jey make him pay in spades?
The Judgment Day talks backstage.
Finn Balor checks with Dominik Mysterio, how many chicken tendies did he have? A lot. But sadly, no ranch! Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez walk in, and Liv sees the boys buried the hatchet. Finn says of course they did! Everyone knows that brothers fight, but they always make up. Dom says they always have each other’s backs. And now that the funny business about a new member is behind them, they’ll focus on what’s important: bringing gold back to the clubhouse! And that starts with showing Bron Breakker & Penta that the Judgment Day are a well-oiled machine. Everyone likes that!
Finn then tells Raquel, hard luck on that loss to Lyra. But don’t worry, Finn will bring home the Intercontinental Championship. Sure he will. Finn & Dom head out, Carlito nods, but Raquel looks at him. What is he still doing here? Go with them! Go! Right, right! Carlito heads out, and Raquel is annoyed. Liv says they just need to handle Bayley and Lyra. Will Judgment Day be truly golden again? Or will their fortunes only turn worse on the Road to WrestleMania?
Bron Breakker & PENTA VS Finn Balor & Dominik Mysterio w/ Carlito!
Well, speaking of the Badass and the Man with No Fear, it’s going to be a rather tricky team-up for these two when they only just battled over the Intercontinental Championship. But can they put their differences aside to destroy some common enemies? We find out, after the break!
Raw returns and Judgment Day makes their entrance together. The teams sort out and Dom starts against Penta. They circle, but then Finn snags Penta’s shirt! Dom fires off on Penta in the distraction! The fans boo, the ref counts, but Dom stops at 4. Finn soaks up the heat while Dom whips Penta to ropes. Penta ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! Tag to Bron and the fans bark as Bron CLOBBERS Dom! Bron snarls at Finn, stands Dom up and military presses for a SLAM! Bron then scoops Dom, but Dom slips free! Tag to Finn, but Bron catches Finn by the neck! Finn fires a body shot, but Bron headlocks. Finn powers up and out, drops down, then leaps, into a POWERSLAM!
The fans bark with Bron again, and he runs up to ELBOW Finn in the corner! Tag to Penta, and Penta GAMANGIRIS! Penta sits Finn down, headstands on the corner, and DROPKICKS! The fans fire up, Dom runs up, and Penta scoops to BACKBREAKER! Bron steps in and he LARIATS Dom up and out! Penta builds speed and he FLIES!

Adam Pearce talks with Chad Gable.
Gable admits, Pearce did a great job signing El Grande Americano. Did you see that last week? Gable wouldn’t mind getting into the ring with that guy some day. Pearce says the LWO would like that, too, but apparently, Gable still isn’t well enough to compete? Uh… Gable coughs on cue, and has another doctor’s note. Of course… That’s a shame, though, because next week, Raw returns to Minneapolis. Wait, Gable’s hometown? Well, he’ll be good by then! Give him a match! He’ll compete! Pearce says that while he appreciates that, the doctor’s note kinda ties his hands. Gable says by the time he’s back on American soil, he’ll be fine. Gable knows how to get healthy.
Pearce says no, nothing is more important than Gable’s health. Beside, Pearce is already making arrangements. Who better to compete on American soil than El Grande Americano? Gable says no, that’s HIS hometown! But it is official. Doctor’s orders, Gable. Gable frowns, turns to go, but runs into the Alpha Academy. Gable says, “Clowns. Idiot.” He leaves, Pearce apologizes for that, but Maxxine Dupri hopes Pearce has time to talk the tag team division. He is always happy to talk about Otis & Tozawa. Maxxine says it’s not just them, but also she wants to discuss her opportunities. Maxxine has been talking with Natalya lately, and they’ve got some ideas.
Pearce says in that case, let’s all get together and talk. Maxxine appreciates that! What could we be getting for The Alpha Babes & The Queen of Harts?
AJ Styles is here!
London cheers the Phenomenal One, and he goes right to the ring to get the mic. The fans cheer Styles on more, and Styles says he has been waiting in the back patiently. Logan Paul said he was gonna call Styles out, but Styles is tired of waiting. If Logan has something to say, come out and say it right now. Logan makes his entrance, and the fans boo the Maverick. Logan grins as he swaggers out here in sleeveless hoodie, drinks some Prime, then rips up a fan’s sign mocking Prime. London taunts Logan with “Who Are Ya? Who Are Ya?” Logan grabs a mic to say he hears them. Styles, bud, you wouldn’t understand. And neither would the fans.
No one here has the same fame as Logan Paul. As a global phenomenon who is incredibly wealthy, and also really good looking, everyone here is on his time. Styles enjoys the fans booing Logan, but Logan says he is making them wait. They do as they’re told because they’re all sheep. But Styles, don’t get your shiny panties in a bunch. Logan had a change of heart, brother. Fans tell Logan to S T F U! Logan says that’s a shame, he came out here to be nice. But Styles, Logan had a change of heart. He is a dad now! He’s trying to teach his daughter the art of forgiveness, so please. No, you’ll all like this, so please.
Logan takes off his sunglasses and forgives Styles for what Styles did at Madison Square Garden. But Logan doesn’t forget, so don’t try that again. The fans still taunt Logan, Logan says they know who he is, and it’s why they’re here. Styles says okay, he feels that. He has a daughter, too. So y’know what? Styles forgives Logan, too. The fans cheer Styles, and Logan asks what Styles has to forgive him for. Styles wants us all to hear him out. Styles forgives Logan Paul for being the biggest douchebag to ever step foot in the WWE. The fans cheer that! Styles says Logan brags about his success and his money, but the fans don’t care about that!
The fans care about what Logan is willing to sacrifice in this ring for them! Logan has all the talent in the world, Styles gives him that. But in this business, talent only gets you so far. So the question is: What’s Logan gonna do with it? Logan says okay, that’s true. He’d ask Styles for advice, but the saying goes, “Don’t take advice from someone you wouldn’t want to trade places with.” Styles says that’s a good one. Another saying goes, “Don’t let your mouth write a check your ass can’t cash!” Logan asks if that’s a threat. Styles says no, it’s Monday Night Raw! And they’re in London, England! Styles has his gear, he’s right here in the ring. What does Logan think?
Logan thinks Styles is just saying stuff that’s true. Logan is done talking! Styles knows it, London know sit, Logan doesn’t fight for free, and London cannot afford him! Everyone here is poor, congrats! That guy, this guy, and this guy probably spent his entire life’s savings just to get front row. Congrats, you peaked. How about this? Call a spade a spade, Styles must want the big money match. So how about setting his sights a little higher? Logan pionts tot he Mania sign, then takes a cheap shot! Styles blocks it to fire off on Logan! The fans fire up, and Styles brings Logan around, only for Logan to get away!
Logan bails out, but Styles pursues! Styles dodges a lariat to SMACK Logan off the desk! Styles says this is Bullet Club Styles tonight! Styles steps in, but Logan YANKS the ropes to jam him up! The fans boo while Styles writhes. Logan dares Styles to get up, and then he reels Styles in! PAUL-VERIZER!! The fans boo but Logan just soaks it up. Will Logan be even more ImPAULsive should they go to Vegas?
Backstage interview with Lyra Valkyria.
Jackie Redmond is with the Women’s Intercontinental Champion, and congratulates her on the successful defense against Raquel last week. Now, WrestleMania is less than three weeks away, what is Lyra’s focus now? Lyra thanks Bayley for last week for having her back against Liv & Raquel. But when it comes to the title, Lyra wants to make it clear, she can stand on her own two feet. Bayley is the one person who has beaten Lyra since Lyra won the title, and it drives Lyra a little crazy. So not only does Lyra have to keep her promise to Bayley, but she has to prove she can and will beat her.
Next week, it will be the rematch! Lyra VS Bayley for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship! Jackie likes the breaking news! Lyra said she’d be a fighting champion, she is living up to the reputation. But will The Morrigan hold onto the Shiny Shiny after taking on The Role Model?
Bianca Belair heads to the ring!
Tonight, the #1 contender to the WWE Women’s World Championship is the Special GuEST Referee! But will she be the fairEST referee? Or will she let emotions get the better of her when calling this main event?
Judgment Day regroups backstage.
Liv & Raquel are so proud of Dom & Finn for winning out there. Finn says he pinned Penta 1-2-3! And not only that, this is the second week in a row that he got the better of Bron Breakker! It is WrestleMania season, Finn’s on a roll, and he’ll go talk with Pearce about getting another title match. Great work, Dom! Finn is back! Finn hurries off, but then Liv frowns at Dom. Did Finn just say that? Did Finn just say he won, not they won? Dom says that’s not what he meant, but Liv says Dom worked just as hard as Finn to get that win. Finn thinks he deserves another title match when he had one and lost already?
Liv says Dom never lost. And she is going to talk with Pearce as soon as Finn is done! Liv heads out, Dom and Carlito don’t understand why this is happening. But who will get their shot at the title as we draw closer to WrestleMania?
WWE Women’s World Championship, Special Guest Referee Bianca Belair: Iyo Sky VS Rhea Ripley!
The Evil Genius got this title thanks in part to Bianca distracting Mami, and Mami’s been trying to get back on top ever since! Will Rhea win her rematch in part thanks to Bianca? Or will Iyo always have Rhea’s number?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised by Bianca, and we see how WrestleMania’s title match shakes out!
The bell rings and the fans sing for “IYO! IYO SKY~!” Rhea and Iyo circle, tie up, and they go around. Iyo headlocks, they go around some more, and Rhea puts Iyo on ropes. Bianca calls the break, counts, but no one listens so she has to get in there herself. The fans rally, the two tie up and then throw hands! Rhea waistlocks and she THROWS Iyo to a corner! Rhea RAMS into Iyo again and again, Bianca counts, but she again has to get Rhea to stop. Bianca reminds Rhea, she’s the ref so they have to listen. Iyo leap son Rhea for a facelock, and she rains down fists! Rhea and Iyo scrap in the corner, the fans duel, and Bianca counts.
Iyo doesn’t listen, so Bianca brings her back. Bianca reminds Iyo that Bianca is the ref. Rhea returns, Iyo headlocks, but Rhea powers up and out. Rhea then blows past Iyo, rolls, but Iyo steps over the takedown to a cover! TWO, Rhea has it, ONE! Iyo has it! ONE, Rhea has it! ONE and Iyo has it! TWO, and Iyo jackknife bridges! ONE, Rhea sunsets, ONE! The two scramble to their feet, the fans cheer, and Iyo runs to handspring! Rhea gets clear but Iyo SHOTGUNS! Iyo kips up, but Rhea LARIATS! Both women are down and the fans fire up while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Rhea covers, TWO! Rhea argues the count with Bianca but Bianca says her count is fair. Rhea is annoyed but she drags Iyo back up. Iyo JAWBREAKERS back, then SHOTEIS! And SHOTEIS! Iyo runs to SHOTGUN Rhea down! The fans rally and duel as Iyo whips Rhea to a corner. Rhea reverses, Bianca has to hurry out of the way. Iyo goes outside, GAMANGIRIS, then goes up top! MISSILE DROPKICK! The fans fire up while Rhea flops out of the ring and Iyo kips up! Iyo builds speed, and she DIVES! Down goes Rhea and the fans fire up again! Iyo hurries back into the ring, but refreshes the count.
The fans cheer as Iyo says let’s go again! But Rhea Electric Chair Lifts Iyo to SLAM her off the apron! Bianca counts, but Iyo POISON-RANAS in return! Rhea and Iyo are both down, Bianca keeps counting, and we’re past 5 of 10! Rhea hears 8, Iyo and Rhea both spring in at 9.5! The fans fire up as this continues, and Bianca watches both women closely. Rhea and Iyo fire forearms, the fans fire up again, and the shots go back and forth! Iyo seems to have the edge with the fans, and she blocks a shot to fire a flurry! Iyo then KICKS a leg out, winds up, but Rhea ducks the buzzsaw! Rhea waistlocks, Iyo victory rolls, STOMP 182!
The fans fire up and Iyo hurries to the corner. Iyo steps on Rhea as she goes up, up, and- NO, Rhea CLUBS Iyo first! Rhea climbs up, Electric Chair Lifts again, but Iyo fires fists! SUPER- NO, Rhea stops the Rana, fireman’s carries Iyo, but Iyo makes it a SUPER CRUCIFIX DRIVER!! The fans are thunderous as Iyo crawls to the cover, TWO!! Rhea survives and “This is Awesome!” Rhea flounders to a corner, Iyo goes to the other. Iyo runs in, SHINKANSEN! Iyo puts Rhea back in the drop zone, then goes up, up, and- NO, Rhea shoves Iyo tot he apron! Rhea drags Iyo up, but Iyo HOTSHOTS back! Iyo then climbs, CROSSBODY into a HEADBUTT!? Cover, TWO!!
Rhea is beside herself as Iyo survives that antiair! The fans rally and duel while Rhea talks trash on Iyo. Rhea wobbles, drags Iyo up, and then Rhea pump handles. RIP- DD- NO!! Rhea counters the counter to suplex! But Iyo slips around, only for Rhea to pop her around, RAZOR’S EDGE!! And a PENALTY KICK!! Cover, TWO!!! Iyo survives that double shot and Rhea is freaking out! Bianca swears her count was fair, and Rhea is pulling at her hair in frustration. Rhea drags Iyo up, pump handles again, RIP- NO, Iyo slips out to body scissor and JAPANESE LEG ROLL CLUTCH! TWO!! Now Iyo is the one shocked!
Iyo hurries to wheelbarrow, but Rhea stops that! Rhea lifts, but Iyo switches! Rhea switches, Iyo switches, but Rhea ELBOWS Iyo away! Iyo staggers into Bianca, Rhea runs up, but Iyo dodges! The BOOT hits Bianca!! Bianca falls out of the ring, Iyo rolls Rhea, but Rhea rolls through! EDDY GORDO KICK! RIPTIDE!!! Cover, but there’s no one to count! Rhea would’ve won twice over but she realizes what happened! Bianca sputters and stands back up, and Bianca is upset with Rhea. Rhea’s upset that Bianca didn’t position herself better. Rhea tells Bianca to get back in to do her job, and Rhea covers. Bianca counts, TWO!?!?
Iyo survives and Rhea is again beside herself! Bianca still checks her chin while defending her count. Rhea is pissed with Bianca, they argue about this and that, but Bianca pushes Rhea’s accusing hands away. Iyo storms up, but Rhea trips her! Rhea rains down fists, they’re in the ropes, Bianca counts! Bianca pulls Rhea back, but Rhea is furious! Rhea ROCKS Bianca! The fans are torn and Rhea realizes she shouldn’t have done that. Rhea turns around, Iyo is up top! MISSILE DROPKICK, but Rhea moves! Bianca takes the hit again! Bianca is completely wiped out, Rhea CLOBBERS Iyo! Rhea drags Iyo up again but Bianca says screw it, she’s done!
Double Disqualification; Iyo retains the title
Rhea is furious, and she bites the rope in her anger! Rhea goes after Bianca now, and she fires hands! They both brawl, the fans are thunderous again, but now Iyo ASAI MOONSAULTS! Down goes BOTH Bianca & Rhea! Iyo is just as pissed and she puts Rhea in the ring! The fans cheer Iyo on, but here comes Bianca! Bianca DECKS Iyo, rains fists down on her, but now Rhea is back! HEADBUTT for Bianca! Pump handle and RIPTIDE!! Then Rhea drags Iyo up, and gives her a RIPTIDE!! The fans fire up as Mami IS on top, title or not! Fans want all that “ONE MORE TIME!” so Rhea obliges! Rhea drags Bianca by her braid to bring her to a corner!
Rhea drags Bianca up top, pump handles, and SUPER RIPTIDE!!! Rhea tells both Bianca and Iyo that this is far from over! Rhea holds up the title as she stands over both of them, but will she really be denied her WrestleMania Moment?
My Thoughts:
A great Raw here, especially to close out the Euro Tour. Cena and Cody gave us another awesome promo, the first one that actually had a back and forth, not just Cena’s part then Cody’s part. They both really got some strong digs into each other, hard to say who won the war of words, but Cody stood tall tonight as Cena did deserve some comeuppance from Elimination Chamber. But at the same time, this could be an indication that Cena is winning at WrestleMania, but two weeks out is a little early for go-home math.
Great stuff bringing New Catch Republic back for London, but I had a feeling New Day would win no matter what. Erik & Ivar showing up to confront New Day was good stuff, and that’s gotta be the Mania match. At the same time, Maxxine Dupri surely wants Pearce to consider Otis & Tozawa as potential contenders. Mania has been crafting Triple Threats and perhaps even some Fatal 4 Ways, so it wouldn’t be surprising if War Raiders VS New Day also had Alpha Academy or some other team adding to the mix.
Speaking of, there’s been word that the Men’s Intercontinental Championship will be a Fatal 4, and we certainly got that teased with the Judgment Day. Good promos from Judgment Day to keep that passive aggressive dysfunction going. Very good tag match from Finn & Dom VS Bron & Penta, and the usual tactics of course helped Judgment Day win. Finn wants his shot, Liv wants Dom to get his shot, and surely Penta will be owed something for how Judgment Day’s been doing stuff, so there is the Fatal 4, easy as that.
Great bit with Gable and Pearce where Gable is going to miss out on wrestling in his hometown, but El Grande Americano gets his chance, and brings into question if Gable will start to flip things so that El Grande is “sick” but Gable is just fine. Great stuff with Gunther and the Usos. Good match, and Gunther attacking the Usos from behind was also a good touch. I won’t say that beating makes up for the bad pacing of this build, but Jey watching Jimmy just bloodied and battered, that was still some strong stuff. This finally gets Gunther VS Jey in gear, but there’s still two more Mondays to hopefully keep this up, not drop the ball again.
Good promo segment from Styles and Logan, maybe just a little thrown off by how fired up the fans were to cheer Styles and boo Logan, but they got their points across. Logan self-righteously apologizing, Styles backhandedly apologizing, and they brawl to where Logan uses a cheap tactic to get the advantage, there’s our Mania match. And similarly, great main event for the Women’s World Championship. Bianca did a very good job playing up how she doesn’t know how to be a referee, it’s what made that first “accidental” strike believable. Then you add on the tension we’ve seen the last few weeks, it just works that Bianca would make this a draw, only for Rhea to stand tall anyway. At this point, Pearce is just stuck because Bianca and Iyo will each want payback on Rhea, Triple Threat is made.
My Score: 8.9/10

Toni Storm is here!
Milwaukee cheers as The Good Land is now TIMELESS! Toni goes right to the ring, puts her AEW Women’s World Championship belt right down on the mat, and has a mic to say, “Milwaukee, I love you.” The fans cheer that! Toni says please, enough of the banter! “Megan Bayne, get your oiled up, feathered ass out here right now!” No response, so Toni says fine. If Megan is too busy crushing watermelons and eating babies, then listen up! The spotlight drops on Toni as the fans chant her name. Toni says, “Last Wednesday, you were the better woman. I don’t know what happened, it all happened so fast. But before I knew it, I was flat on my back like you’d just bought me a steak dinner.
“I am embarrassed. I am hurt. And I’m ashamed. And the worst part is, you made it look so easy.” Toni rests on the mat beside her belt to say, “I went back to my hotel, and I turned off all the lights. And I laid there, going over the same scene in my head over and over and over again, wondering if this is what’s going to happen to me at Dynasty.” Fans say no, but Toni continues, “And then, when the sun came up, I was covered in sweat. Moreso than usual. But I got up, and I went into the bathroom and I took a piss. And then I stubbed my toe, then I whacked my head on the sink. And when I came to, I looked into the mirror, and I remembered exactly who I am!”
The fans cheer, and Toni rises up to say, “I am Timeless Toni Storm! And at Dynasty, I will be leaving with your tits in my purse!” Toni approaches the ropes for her close up, only to be CLOBBERED by Penelope Ford! The Superbad Girl grins, the fans boo, but Ford fires off hands on Toni! Ford whips, but Toni reverses to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ford ends up in a corner, Toni runs in, SWEET HIP MUSIC! The fans fire up as Toni stomps a mudhole into Ford! But then Megan CLOBBERS Toni! The fans boo as now the Megasus gets the drop on Toni! Megan fireman’s carries, FATE’S DESCENTÂ on the belt!
The fans boo even more as Megan sits Toni up, tells her to “BOW! DOWN!” then throws Toni down again! Megan stands over Toni, and with just EIGHT DAYS left, is there no such thing as “timeless” in AEW?
The Death Riders speak.
Claudio Castagnoli starts with German, and he says that while Dax Harwood will be the first victim of the Death Riders, this Wednesday is when the Swiss Cyborg does something for himself. Claudio calls out Adam Copeland to go 1v1 for what Cope did to him! And if Copeland thinks that was ruthless, Claudio knows he is losing his edge and is just trying to cope with it! Claudio will beat Cope to a pulp, but leave just enough of him alive to limp to Dynasty so he can team up with his “two little groupies,” and fail at another chance of becoming champion here in AEW.
Moxley pats Claudio on the shoulder and says, “There are only three women I fear in this world: My mother, my sister, and my wife. Until I met Marina Shafir. On the day that she just snaps, I know I don’t wanna be the one who pissed her off. Part of me thinks maybe me and you, Swerve, we should just grab some popcorn, sit and watch these ladies tear each other apart. But you talked a really, really big game on Wednesday, and now you gotta back it up. Right now, that’s the job. Poor, sweet Willow.” Marina speaks up and warns Willow in Romanian, then in English she dares Willow to keep smiling once Marina’s ripped out her liver and shoved it down her throat!
Moxley & Claudio look at each other, Moxley with wide eyes and Claudio with a big smile. They head out with Marina, will there be no solving this Problem?
Jay White VS Kevin Knight!
The Switchblade has put his name in the hat for the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament, knowing full well Will Ospreay and Hangman Adam Page will be in it, too. But will White be rolling towards the Owen Hart Cup opening round? Or will The Jet take him on quite the flight?
The bell rings and the fans rally. White and Knight circle, and Milwaukee is strongly behind the Switchblade. The two tie up, White waistlocks but Knight drop toeholds. Knight floats to a facelock, floats to a cover, but White slips through to headlock. Knight rolls free and the two stand off. The fans cheer, White and Knight reset, and they knuckle lock. White rolls, wrenches, and wristlocks. Knight rolls, handsprings, and then wrenches to WRING White! White rolls through and the fans cheer. White shakes out the arm while Knight brushes himself off. They tie up again and are in a deadlock.
They go around, White headlocks, then hits the takeover. Knight headscissors, White shrugs that off, but Knight rolls to a cover. TWO, Knight headscissors again, but White kips free. Knight headlocks, White rolls free, then he hits a headlock takeover again! Knight headscissors, White kips free again, and now Knight headlocks. White powers up and out, they RAM shoulders, and White rebounds to run Knight over! But Knight springs right back up! The fans cheer, and now White fires forearms! White runs, Knight hurdles, but then White fakes Knight out! The fans cheer, Knight still arm-drags White around!
Knight ducks ‘n’ dodges White to tilt-o-whirl and RANA! Not the smoothest but White is right up to CHOP back! White shakes out the stars, storms up on Knight and CHOPS again! And CHOPS in the corner! The fans fire up while Knight goes to a corner. White storms up, reels Knight in, then suplexes. Knight slips free to UPPERCUT, UPPERCUT, and UPPERCUT again! Knight whips, White grabs ropes, and then White TOSSES Knight to the apron! Knight bobs ‘n’ weaves, ROCKS White, then steps in. White grabs a leg, DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Both men are down and the fans rally up!
Knight stands, White CHOPS him to the corner! The fans fire up and White LARIATS! White brings Knight around, suplexes, BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Knight stays in this but White stays calm while Collision goes picture in picture.
White looms over Knight, drags him up, and CHOPS! Knight flops out of the ring! White pursues, but Knight CHOPS! White CHOPS back! Knight CHOPS in return! White CHOPS, Knight CHOPS, and repeat! Knight fires CHOP after CHOP, then he puts White in the ring. White is on Knight with a CHOP! Knight sputters while White catches his breath, and then White covers, TWO! White covers again, TWO! White clamps onto Knight with a chinlock and grinds him down. Knight endures, fights up, and fires body shots. White CHOPS Knight again! Knight sputters and flounders to the corner but White is on him again.
White stands Knight up, CHOPS him, then whips corner to corner hard! Knight slumps down in the corner but White drags him to a cover, TWO! White drags Knight up, puts him in a corner then puts him up top. White CHOPS Knight, climbs up, but Knight fires body shots! Collision returns to single picture as White hops down. Knight throws hands, then adjusts position. But White CHOPS Knight down! Knight falls to the apron, tries to hold on, but then slumps down to the floor. Milwaukee is fired up again as White storms out after Knight. White puts Knight in the ring, covers, TWO! White keeps Knight down with a REAR BEARHUG!
The fans rally as Knight fights up and fires body shots. White CHOPS again! Knight drops to a knee, but he shakes his head. Knight stands, but White CHOPS again!

White knees low, whips Knight to the corner, but Knight comes back to CLOBBER White!
Knight LARIATS White, whips him, but White reverses. Knight goes up and over, then scoops to SLAM! The fans fire up and Knight UFO SPLASHES! Cover, TWO! White survives and Knight is a bit surprised, but he fireman’s carries. White fights free to CHOP! White whips, Knight leaps over the lariat, then SUPERKICKS! White ends up in a corner, Knight runs in, but White puts him on the apron! Knight ROCKS White first, then springboards, but into the clinch! URE- NO, Knight arm-drags White into a takedown and cover, TWO!! White escapes and Knight is shocked! White clinches, BLADE- NO, Knight slips around and shoves White to a corner!
Knight runs in, White ELBOWS him, then goes up! UPPER ROOM!! Knight throws White down and gets moving, but White ducks a lariat! COMPLETE SHOT, then the waistlock! Deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! The fans fire up and White drags Knight up. White clinches for the URENAGE! White says time to end it! Clinch and BLADERUNNER!! Cover, White wins!
Winner: Jay White, by pinfall
Knight pushed White in this one, but he still had to Breathe with the Switchblade! White grabs a mic to say, “Let’s hear it for Kevin Knight!” The fans cheer, and White says, “Just like myself, Kevin went through the NJPW Dojo. And although this year, it won’t be yours in the Owen, there’s always next year. Because I’m pretty sure we’re going to see a lot more of Kevin Knight in AEW.” The fans cheer that! White says that was Knight’s cue to leave but guess Milwaukee thought otherwise. White says, “See you around.” They shake hands, and Knight takes off. When and where will The Jet fly back to AEW?
White says the 2025 Owen Hart Foundation Tournament will have the best of the best. And just like White does every time, he will show us that he is the MOST elite! Because he needs to win the Owen Hart Cup, because he needs to go on to All In: Texas, because he needs his shot at the AEW World Championship! The fans cheer that, and White says because he is the Last Rock ‘n’ Rolla, the man who singlehandedly sold out Madison Square Garden, King Switch! The Catalyst of Professional Wrestling! This is STILL his era! And at All In, White will show us it is STILL the Switchblade Era! White has issued his mission statement, but will it be mission accomplished by July?
AEW shares a tweet from Athena.
In response Mercedes Mone posting, “Milwaukee, say hello to your C E O,” The Fallen Goddess says, “Maybe I will say hi… TONIGHT!” Could the Forever ROH Women’s Champion be the one to face the TBS Champion tonight? We’ll have to see, after the break!
Mercedes Mone VS Robyn Renegade!
#FourBeltsMone held onto the TBS Championship after getting quite the fight from Billie Starkz. But her AEW Dynasty dance card is still open. Will Mone win herself a night off? Or will this Renegade make Mone work for her money?
The bell rings and Mone circles with Robyn. They tie up, go around, and Mone headlocks. Robyn powers out but Mone runs her over! Milwaukee is tourn, but things speed up. Mone steps on Robyn’s dropdown, then does her dance. Robyn runs up, Mone gets around to waistlock, but Robyn switches. They go to ropes, Mone bucks the O’Conner, but Robyn comes back with a sunset flip! TWO, and Robyn SHOTGUNS Mone down! Robyn does her own version of Mone’s dance, then drags Mone up. Mone stops a kick to KNEE Robyn away! Mone runs in at the corner, but Robyn dodges and KNEES Mone back!
Robyn runs side to side and BOOTS Mone! The fans are still torn as Robyn puts Mone up top. Robyn climbs up, but Mone shoves her down! Mone leaps, CROSSBODY! But Robyn rolls through! Robyn shows some power as she scoops Mone and pops her around, only for Mone to slip out! Mone gut wrenches Robyn to a CIPHER UTAKI! Cover, TWO! Robyn survives and Mone is a bit surprised. Robyn goes to a corner, Mone runs up, and Mone stops the boot to put Robyn in the ropes! Mone jumps up, but Robyn dodges the Stock Drop! Mone grabs at Robyn but Robyn KNEES Mone in the ropes! Robyn then goes up to STOMP Mone down!
The fans rally as Robyn shoves Mone down. Robyn climbs, the fans rally, and Robyn MOONSAULTS, but FLOPS as Mone moves! Mone drags herself up and climbs, to then METEORA! Cover, TWO! Robyn survives again but Mone is right on her! Goery Especial for the MONEY MAKER! And then STATEMENT MAKER! Robyn TAPS, Mone wins!
Winner: Mercedes Mone, by submission
The CEO smiles as she puts this Renegade down and grabs up all her belts. Tony Schiavone joins Mone in the ring and congratulates her on another win. It seems like that the Money Train is running hotter than ever. But he understands she had something she wants to say, so the floor is hers. Mone says that’s right. The fans boo, Mone frowns, and she takes the mic from Schiavone. “I am the greatest TBS Champion of all time! And I came to AEW to win more gold. So I’m officially declaring myself in the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s right! I’m planning on winning the Owen Cup.
“And then, the Money Train is gonna make her way to Texas to All In! And then, I’m going to become the AEW Women’s World Champion!” Fans are torn again but Schiavone says that tournament will have a lot of competition, including Billie Starkz, who- Mone stops Schiavone there. She doesn’t wanna hear about that stupid kid! Billie has a lot of heart, but not as much heart as Robyn! Give it up for Robyn! Way more heart than that stupid Billie. Who even trained Billie? They suck! You’re looking at the greatest women’s wrestler of all time! WAIT! Athena really IS here! The fans cheer as THE ROH Women’s World Champion is on AEW!
Athena goes to the ring, and she holds up her spinner belt while looking at Mone’s collection. The fans are all behind Athena and that annoys Mone. Mone puts her belts aside, to take a swing on Athena! Athena dodges and DECKS Mone! The fans cheer, Athena goes to the corner, and Robyn helps Mone up. Mone gets away, O-FACE for Robyn! Well, not the target Athena wanted, but Athena does look at Mone’s TBS Championship. Athena shouts, “This is MY show now!” Will Athena’s Forever Reign be the one to add more gold? Or has she just put herself on Mone’s gold colleting radar?
Backstage interview with Queen Aminata.
Lexy Nair is with the One True African Queen, and it would seem there is unfortunate news. Aminata’s hand is wrapped up, she is unable to compete tonight. Taking her place in tonight’s main event is Billie Starkz. Given all this, how does- Serena Deeb walks in. Deeb smirks and says Aminata must know this was preventable, right? Deeb had the game plan, offered it to Aminata, and Aminata didn’t want to listen. Let’s look at history, Aminata. Every time Aminata listened, she won. Every time she didn’t, not only does she lose, she ends up injured. This is all choices. Everything they do is choices. And unfortunately, Aminata made the wrong choice.
Aminata admits, Deeb is right. Everything is about choices. And Aminata still choose not to listen to Deeb’s trash! Not listening to any of that. Okay, Queen, Deeb respects that. But deep down, Aminata knows Deeb is right. And if Aminata thinks there’s a slight chance that she knows that Deeb is right, well, Aminata will have some weeks at home to rest up. Here’s some reading material. Deeb shoves her playbook into Aminata’s hand, will Aminata do her homework?
“Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith VS Top Flight w/ Leila Grey!
Speaking of learning, The Redwood & Bad Apple want to make The Learning Tree proud, and that means winning some championships to go along with Chris Jericho’s ROH World Title. Will Bill & Keith be one step closer to facing The Hurt Syndicate with tonight? Or will Darius & Dante Martin soar far above the trees to be next in line for gold?
The teams sort out and Bill starts against Darius. The fans rally, but Dante wants in! Darius tags Dante in, and now Keith says he wants in! Bill tags Keith, he and Dante tie up, and they go around. Keith puts Dante on ropes, Dante turns things around, but Dante lets off as the ref counts. The two go again, Keith arm-drags hard and has the armlock. Dante rolls and arm-drags free, then he DROPKICKS Keith down! The fans fire up, Dante A-LIST LARIATS! Tag to Darius, he snap suplexes Keith and tag sin Dante. Slingshot SENTON! The fans cheer, Dante brings Keith up but Keith shoves free!
Darius tags in, Top Flight gets Keith for the LARIAT STO COMBO! Cover, TWO! Darius stands Keith up to CHOP, then UPPERCUT! Darius whips corner to corner, Keith reverses, but Darius goes up and over. Darius rolls, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down! Keith brings Darius over, tag to Bill, and the fans boo as Bill & Keith mug Darius. Bill drags Darius up but Darius fires body shots! Bill CLUBS Darius down, then puts him in a corner. Bill CHOPS Darius, Darius sputters and the fans fire up. Bill stands Darius up, Darius fires more body shots, but Bill CHOPS again! Bill brings Darius over, tags in Keith, but Darius fires forearms and elbows!
Darius ROCKS Bill, goes up to BOOT, then TORNADO- NO, Bill puts Darius on the apron! Darius ROCKS Bill, but Keith BOOTS Darius! Keith goes out after Darius to CHOP him, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Keith argues with the ref but the count is the count. Keith drops a knee on Darius’ face, then covers, TWO! Keith is getting annoyed, but he tells Dante to pipe down. Darius fires body shots and forearms, but Keith ROUNDHOUSES him down again. Keith brings Darius up to whip, but then sends him back the other way for an ELBOW! Bill applauds but he might be the only one. Keith steps on Darius’ face, then has a cocky cover, TWO!
Keith references Jericho but that doesn’t finish it, so Keith clamps on a CAMEL CLUTCH! Darius endures, even as Keith CLAWS his face! The ref reprimands, Keith stops, and Darius fights up. Darius pries at the hold, but Collision goes to break.
Collision returns and Bill BODY BLOWS Darius down! The fans are torn as Bill stalks Darius. Bill drags Darius back by a leg but the fans continue to rally for Top Flight. Keith runs in around the way, but Dante SUPERKICKS Keith first! Darius lunges forward, hot tag to Dante! The fans fire up as Dante springboards, but Bill gets under. Dante comes back, but Bill LARIATS him down! Bill grins and soaks up cheers and jeers. Bill runs in at Dante to SPLASH! Then he runs at Darius to SPLASH! Back to Dante for a BOOT! Darius dodges the lariat, but not the BOSS MAN SLAM! The fans are torn as Bill talks trash on Bobby Lashley!
Bill soaks up the cheers and jeers while Keith has Dante in the corner. Bill runs up, but Dante slips free! The SPLASH takes out Keith! Dante HURDLES Bill!? But no Darius, so Dante realizes he’s cornered. Bill storms up, Dante BOOTS him away, and Darius returns! Tag to Darius, and Dante runs up.

Bill hoists Dante up, SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM! Cover, Bill & Keith win!
Winners: “Big Bill” Morrissey & Bryan Keith, by pinfall
If that teamwork and victory doesn’t say they’re ready, that look on Bill’s face sure does. Will the Learning Tree do this to the Hurt Syndicate? Or will Lashley & Shelton just hurt people?
Wait, The Cru slithers in! They have the chain necklaces ready like last week! Leila spots them, but it’s AR FOX that jumps in! Fox stands with Top Flight and The Cru backs off. Action says that’s fine, they’ll let it go this time. But will The Sight to See & The Man of the Hour ground Top Flight one way or another?
Backstage interview with Jamie Hayter.
Lexy Nair is with the Southampton Hayter and welcomes her back. Last time we saw her, she was victorious over Julia Hart, and now she’s in the main event of Collision. How does it feel to be back again? Hayter says it feels great. And if you know Hayter, you know she doesn’t like doing things by half measures. So being in the main event is just another Saturday night for her. But she will say she is very excited to be in the ring with a young whippersnapper like Billie Starkz. It really injects some energy into Hayter, it lights that fire. And Billie has a lot of fire herself, and Hayter likes that. Billie gets knocked down but she gets back up.
And Hayter while respects that about Billie, she doesn’t want Billie to confuse respect for mercy. If Billie steps to Hayter, Hayter will hit back and knock her on her ass. There’s no hesitation, no second chances. So if Hayter were Billie, she’d be smart. Or, find out the hard way. Your choice. Oh, and one more thing. Hayter noticed some girls are already putting in for the Owen Hart Tournament, so Hayter will do that, too. And it is very fitting that she returned at All In last year, because this year, she leaves All In the champion! Hayter is ready, how hard will she hit Billie on this Collision?
Adam Cole is here!
The Undisputed Kingdom follows him out, complete with “BOOM!” and “ADAM COLE BAYBAY!” as the Panama City Playboy prepares for his NO TIME LIMIT AEW TNT Championship match at Dynasty. As such, here comes the champion, Daniel Garcia! Daddy Magic has Garcia’s back as he goes to the ring, and the fans cheer for all parties involved. Cole has the mic and wants Garcia to listen. Cole knows tensions are high, but he’ll make this crystal clear: Cole has all the respect in the world for Garcia. The past two matches they’ve had are two of the toughest matches Cole’s had in his AEW career.
When they saw Garcia is the future of AEW, Cole means that in his soul, and the fans sure believe that. That is because Garcia is a fighting champion. When Cole challenged Garcia for the TNT Championship, Cole could not get the job done. But neither did Garcia. And so as a fighting champion, that must make Garcia sick to his stomach. He must not be able to sleep at night knowing he didn’t and couldn’t put Cole away. And unless Garcia is a coward, he’d want to change that. Cole sure wants to change that. Cole doesn’t want things to end in a draw. This needs to end with one man proving that he is better than the other, and dammit, that man is Cole!
Cole knows, Garcia knows, the entire world knows, that Garcia and Cole need to finish this fight. The fans cheer, Garcia nods, and he tells Cole he appreciates the kind words. Garcia agrees with a lot of that. They’ve been in the ring almost two months straight. And as much fun as it has been testing his iron against one of the best, truly, Garcia is getting a little bit frustrated. It is eating Garcia alive that he couldn’t beat Cole. Matt Menard tells Garcia that he is THE TNT Champion. How many chances is Cole gonna get? Garcia doesn’t need to be talked into this. It is Cole’s job to defeat Garcia, and Cole couldn’t do it!
Menard says Garcia doesn’t have to go through with this. Garcia pats Menard on the shoulder and says yeah, he doesn’t have to do this. But he wants to! So then, they will run it back one last time, BAYBAY! Roddy shouts, “DANNYYY~! Hey, listen. I have all the respect in the world for you. And just like Adam said, you are the future. And I’m not just saying this because he’s my best friend, but he is one of the best pro-wrestlers on the planet. And as good as you are, you’re just not there yet, dude.” Menard says, “Not there yet?” Menard and Roddy argue, Kyle joins in, but Garcia tells them all that this is enough!
Enough noise, enough distractions! April 6th, Kyle won’t be out there, Roddy won’t be out there, and Menard won’t be out there. Menard is a bit taken aback, but Garcia says at Dynasty, there will be no one ringside, there will be no time limit, and it will be Cole VS Garcia for the TNT Championship, ONE LAST TIME, and there WILL be a winner, cuz you’re looking right at him! Garcia holds up the title, but will he still own that title when it’s all said and done? Or is Dynasty going to be Undisputed?
Athena & Billie Starkz regroup backstage.
The Fallen Goddess says, “Mercedes~! HAHA~! Is that it?” Billie says yeah, just about. Athena says that is so annoying. But what’s the expression? Poke a bear, it might bite you? Well here’s one better. Mercedes, if you’re gonna be a passive aggressive b*tch, you’re gonna get hit. How did you like the taste of the floor? Was it good for Mercedes? Cuz it was great for Athena. So use this as a learning lesson: Keep Athena’s name, and her Minion’s name, out of your damn mouth. But hey! Mone is in the business of collecting championships? OMG, she’s such an inspiration, Athena is gonna do the same thing.
So how about this? Let’s get to real business, not that Mone knows what that is. Athena declares to her Minions and to the AEW fans around the world. Your Forever ROH Champion, Fallen Goddess, American Joshi, Minion Overlord, and all those other things, is OFFICIALLY ENTERING the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! That’s great, right? And Billie! Billie made this all come together, what a brilliant little schemer she’s becoming. Billie has her match tonight! The main event! Look at her! And against a former AEW Women’s World Champion, Jamie Hayter. Is she ready? Yeah, she’s ready! She’ll make Athena proud!
Athena is sure Billie will find a way to disappoint, but tonight, Athena will be watching very closely. Good luck. Billie gives a salute, and it seems no matter if it’s ROH or AEW, Athena keeps Billie under her thumb. Will the inaugural and former ROH Women’s World TV Champion prove she’s ready for the big time?
Dax Harwood VS Wheeler Yuta!
Rated FTR made the challenge for the AEW World Trios Championships, The Death Riders made the challenge for Rated FTR to survive. And while Claudio wants Cope’s head on Dynamite, this Collision will kick things off! Will Dax the Ax chop down the youngest member of Moxley’s crew? Or will The Decoder already figure Dax out?
The bell rings, the two circle, and the fans rally up. They tie up, break, then go again. They break again, fans chant “YUTA SUCKS!” and Dax smirks. Dax and Yuta circle, tie up, and Dax spins Yuta to wrench an arm. Yuta rolls, switches the wrench and has the wristlock. Dax rolls, spins, and he wrenches to then slip through and headlock fort the takeover! Dax pushes Yuta down to a cover, ONE, but Dax holds onto the headlock.

Yuta stands on Dax’s arm to dig it into the crossbar! The ref reprimands, then counts, but Yuta stops at 4, and he reminds the ref, “I have ’til FIVE!” The fans are torn as Yuta copies Danielson, then he drags Dax up to the very top. SUPER DUPER PLEX! Both men are down and Milwaukee fires up as Collision goes picture in picture.
A standing count starts, but Yuta crawls over to Dax at 4 of 10. Cover, TWO! Yuta is annoyed but he drags Dax into a top wristlock. Yuta stands on the arm, then STOMPS it!

Yuta STOMPS the bad arm again, and Dax goes to another corner.
Yuta storms up to CLUB Dax, then he wraps the bad arm around the ropes! The ref counts, Yuta stops at 4, and then he wrenches Dax into a snapmare. Yuta drops a knee on the elbow!

Dax DECKS Yuta, then hops up an dover the barrier. Dax reels Yuta in, but Yuta fights the driver! The bad arm also holds Dax back, and then Yuta BACKDROPS free!

Dax drags Yuta to a corner, and now for some payback! Dax SLAMS Yuta’s leg into the POST! Yuta writhes, but Dax grabs the legs again!

Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by pinfall
Dax can’t believe it, but he just got suckered in! Yuta celebrates like he’s already won the title match, and Claudio is there to pat Yuta on the back. Will the Death Riders keep scoring as Claudio takes on Cope? Or can Rated FTR even things up before Dynasty? Dax argues with the ref, the ref says his decision stands. His count was the count, there’s nothing to it. But then Dax gets in the ref’s face?!? Security rushes in there, but Dax fights them!? They hold Dax down, but Cash YANKS them all off him! But then Dax SHOVES Cash?! Dax realizes what he did and he apologizes. Cash is stunned, but just what is going on with Dax’s emotional state?
Dax offers a hand, Cash slaps it away to get in Dax’s face! Dax says he’s sorry, it was a mistake, but then Cash storms off. Well, guess you can’t spell frustration without F T R. Will they be able to sort this out before arriving in Philadelphia?
Backstage interview with The Patriarchy.
Alicia Atout is with Kip Sabian, Nick Wayne & Mother Shayna, and notes that just like last week, they’re here without any sign of Christian Cage. Just what is going on with The Patriarchy? But before anyone can speak up, The Cru barges in. Lio Rush asks Nick, “What’s up with your boy, Fox, man?” Nick says, “Huh?” Lio repeats himself, what’s up with his boy? Uh, his boy? Fox is far from Nick’s boy. Really? They know they’re history together. Didn’t Fox try to end Nick’s career? So Nick is just gonna chill back here while Fox is out there still breathing? Nick says okay, he gets what they’re up to here. Oh, really? And what’s that?
What The Cru is really doing is asking Nick for help, simply because they can’t get the job done. Oh, is that so? Nick doesn’t blame them for asking him. But Nick’s done with Fox, that is well in the past. Well Nick’s past is creeping up on their present, so for them, that’s an issue. Oh, is that really an issue? Kip has Nick calm down. These “gentlemen” surely didn’t come and interrupt them without a reason, so The Patriarchy should hear them out. AKA, get to the point. Lio says this is all they’re saying. Three of them, two of The Cru. But when the time is right, nobody knows Fox better than Nick Wayne. Just think on it.
The Cru heads out, but will The Patriarchy’s Prodigy take them up on the offer to team up?
Holo.grm VS Blake Christian w/ Lee Johnson!
The futuristic luchador’s undefeated streak continues, even as he joins Komander as a Titan of the Air. But while Hologram & Komander have settled things with La Faccion Ingobernable, this battle is about the Revolution Zero Hour last month. Will the Vanilla Babyface avenge that loss? Or will he just be number 22 on Hologram’s win streak?

Hologram rises, Blake builds speed, FOSBURY TOPE! Blake offers high-fives to the fans, but he leaves them all hanging. Blake drags Hologram up, puts him in the ring, then he stomps Hologram. Blake brings Hologram up, and he pulls at the mask! The ref reprimands, but Hologram KICKS Blake from below! Blake storms up to stomp Hologram again!

Blake drags Hologram up onto the barriers?! But Hologram fires body shots! And he RANAS Blake to the floor! Blake narrowly avoids hitting the steel steps and the fans fire up!
Hologram high-fives the front row, then stalks after Blake. Hologram goes up the steel steps, Lee storms up but Hologram mule kicks him! Blake jumps up to SPANISH FLY to the floor! Blake puts Hologram in, then springboards for a 450 SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Hologram survives and Blake is frustrated! Blake slaps Hologram around, eggs him on, and then puts some stank on the- HEEL KICK from Hologram! Hologram fires up, he blocks Blake’s kick, but Blake SUPERKICKS from the other side!

Backstage interview with Thunder Rosa & Kris Statlander.
Lexy is now with La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest as she says we can officially announce they are also entering the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament! Kris says that last year, she was a completely different person in a much different place. But she still had the same goals as she does today. “To every woman in this tournament, and to every woman in the locker room, you can’t stop Stat!” Rosa says, “Unless you face me.” Much respect to Kris, but like Rosa told Toni Storm, Rosa never lost the AEW Women’s World Championship, and she’s yet to wear one since. So believe her when she says this: She will scratch and claw harder than ever to have the Cup above her head.
Kris says, “Unless you face me.” Rosa says okay, mamacita. See you in the Owen. They each wish the other luck, and then head out. Will La Mera Mera & The Galaxy’s Greatest battle to prove who is TRULY the best of the best?
Jamie Hayter VS Billie Starkz!
Hayter was preparing for Aminata, but it would seem Aminata’s loss to Hart has also lost her some time in the ring. But Billie is ready to step up to prove herself worthy of AEW’s bright lights! Will this be the start of Starkz’s legacy? Or will Hayter Hit Hard enough to be the number one seed in the Owen Hart Cup?
The bell rings and Billie circles with Hayter. Milwaukee cheers on Billie and Hayter encourages it. The two then tie up, and Hayter powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts, Hayter lets off with a pat on the shoulder, and Billie frowns. The two reset, tie up again, and Hayter again powers Billie to a corner. The ref counts again, and Hayter lets off with another pat on the shoulder. Billie frowns again, but the fans duel, “Let’s Go, Jamie!” “Billie Starkz!” They tie up, Hayter headlocks, and she grinds Billie down. Billie powers up and out, but Hayter runs Billie over! Things keep moving and Hayter runs Billie over again!
Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, but Billie is right up to stare Hayter down. The fans cheer, but Hayter pie faces Billie! Billie ROCKS Hayter! Billie whips, then follows, and she sunset flips over, TWO! Hayter gets up, Billie BUZZSAWS her down! The fans rally up, Billie whips Hayter but Hayter reverses. Hayter runs up, but into an ELBOW! Hayter comes back, but into a BOOT! Hayter is annoyed, she blocks boots this time but not the rebound ENZIGIRI! Billie goes up, up, but Hayter TOSSES Billie down! Billie writhes, rises, and Hayter is up the corner to MISSILE DROPKICK! Hayter flexes, the fans are torn, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Hayter stalks Billie, stomps her down, then stands on her! Billie endures until Hayter steps off, and then Hayter puts Billie on the ropes. Hayter CHOKES Billie, the ref counts, and Hayter steps off at 4. Hayter “apologizes” before she stalks Billie. Hayter drags Billie up, DDTS her by the ropes, then puts her back on the ropes. Hayter KNEE DROPS on Billie’s back, then KNEE DROPS again! And again! The ref reprimands but Hayter backs off. Hayter fires up the fans, then she goes back to kneel on Billie’s neck! The ref reprimands and counts, that’s not a cover! Hayter backs off, “apologizes” again, then has Billie in a corner.
Hayter smacks Billie off buckles, then runs her corner to corner to smack her off more buckles! Then Hayter goes to a third corner for buckle bumps! Hayter says let’s finish the set, and she runs Billie corner to corner for a buckle bump! Billie falls back, Hayter dusts her hands off, and then brings Billie up. But Billie WRINGS Hayter’s arm!

Billie endures, reaches out for ropes, but Hayter sits deep on the hold! Billie reaches out, grits her teeth, and Collision returns to single picture.
Hayter tells Billie to just give up, but Billie refuses! The fans rally harder, and Billie powers up! Billie claws and crawls, to the ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, and Hayter lets go in frustration. Hayter runs, but Billie DUMPS her to the apron! Hayter swings, Billie ducks it to sweep the legs! SUPERKICK and Hayter goes to the floor! Billie builds speed and DIVES! Down goes Hayter at the ramp!

Hayter stays in this and Billie is seeing what it is to be a former world champion.
Billie drags Hayter up, reels her in, and suplexes, only for Hayter to slip free! The fans duel while Hayter fireman’s carries, but Billie slips free to throw her down!

Billie tries again, but Hayter blocks it to a cording hold! Hayter brings Billie along as she goes to the ropes, SPRINGBOARD HAYTERADE!!! Cover, HAYTER WINS!
Winner: Jamie Hayter, by pinfall
Now that was a Collision! Hayter is back, and she finds a new way to hit hard! Athena walks out on stage, and she waves hi to Hayter. Whether Billie impressed her or disappointed her, Athena now has her eyes on Hayter and everyone else in the Owen Hart Cup. Will the Fallen Goddess learn for herself that Hayter Hits Hard? Or will the Owen Hart Cup join the Athena World Domination Tour soon enough?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision, talky as usual, but very good build towards Dynasty and the Owen Hart Cup simultaneously. Great opening promo from Toni, because she’s always great at promos, but they did a great job framing Ford’s blindside attack on Toni. And while Toni takes down Ford, Megan of course gets the last say on Toni. Toni is the underdog champion, knows she is, but knows she won’t let that stop her, and surely she comes out on top at Dynasty. Good promo from The Death Riders to hype up Dynamite. Claudio was very clever in using “Edge” and “Cope” in his part, and he will have a great match against Cope, but I would think Cope wins.
Marina had a great part calling out Willow, and that Mixed Tornado Tag will be awesome stuff. Dax VS Yuta was great, too, and real good win for Yuta. Dax losing his cool further waters the seed that is an FTR Heel Turn, but if this keeps up between Dax and Cash, could we end up with FTR VS FTR? That’d be rather wild, but it’d also make sense since FTR at some point said they were drawing closer to the end of their careers. A tag team like them, that has already done so much, having a 1v1 against each other is kinda the last thing to check off their bucket lists.
Great tag match from Bill & Keith VS Top Flight, one of the best Top Flight’s had in a minute since they’ve been going back and forth between AEW and ROH, but I figured Bill & Keith would win. They want their shot at The Hurt Syndicate, this gets them a step closer to that, and Top Flight still has The Cru after them anyway. I’m just not sure The Cru asking Nick Wayne to help out against Top Flight & AR Fox is the kind of story continuity they should be using right about now… Nick’s busy with this story against Christian Cage, he should focus on that. Unless the point is, if Patriarchy falls apart, Nick needs somewhere to go and someone to hand out with. But then The Cru is just three- Gasp! Cru-serweights…!
Great promo segment from Cole, Garcia and their friends, but uh, the announcement came in right as this segment started, so for us at home, it completely undercut how Garcia and Cole were building to making the No Time Limit title match. This is all still the right move, and Garcia telling Menard to stay away from ringside was a wild twist. Cole VS Garcia could be a borderline show stealer given how great their 20 minute draw was last time. And I still think that Cole should win the title, just so he finally has something in AEW aside from the tag title run alongside MJF. As for Garcia, losing the TNT title could be his opportunity to move on to another title, like the International or Continental Championship.
Hologram VS Blake was a rather random match to put on, but whatever, still great stuff. I wonder who finally pins/submits Hologram to end his win streak. It’d have to be someone that fans already have strong feelings for, good or bad. Like, Ospreay could get away being the guy that beats Hologram because it’s Ospreay. At the same time, MJF or Jericho could beat Hologram because not only do they have the power level, but fans love to hate them anyway so they’d love to hate MJF or Jericho as the guy who ended the streak.
And great stuff with the Women’s Owen Hart Cup, but also a build between Mercedes Mone and Athena. Mone of course beat Robyn Renegade, but she of course also had to talk trash on Billie & Athena. Athena finally being on AEW TV is great in itself, and she had a good promo with Billie to touch on the love-hate relationship between Minion Overlord and Minion 400,237 & 3/4ths that we’ve seen the past two years on ROH. Aminata going down with injury is a shame, and her promo with Deeb could’ve been a bit sharper on both ends. But Deeb naturally puts it on Aminata that Aminata needs to either join her or wrestle her, and I’m thinking we get the latter.
Good promo from Rosa and Statlander to not only add them to the Owen Hart Cup but to tease their match-up. Hayter VS Billie was a great main event, and it was another great showing for Billie in the loss. Athena confronting Hayter was also good stuff, and both Owen Hart Cups are looking to be the most star-studded ones yet. But as it stands, I’m thinking Rosa wins to get that world title match she has yet to get, and then we get Mone VS Athena for the TBS Championship, as teased tonight. All In: Texas will basically give both Rosa and Athena homefield advantage, and it’d be pretty wild if both of them won titles then.
My Score: 8.8/10
