PLAY BY PLAY
It’s the TLC Kickoff Show!
Join Jonathan Coachman, Charly Caruso, David Otunga and Booker T in reviewing and predicting all the action for tonight! What does the last WWE PPV of 2019 have in store?
WWE TLC becomes TMZ.
Rusev and Lana have been having yet another rocky love affair, and that includes Lana “tongue wrestling” with the Rocky Mountain Machine. Restaurant brawls, wild rumors, a pregnancy scam, restraining orders, and multiple arrests on both sides. The only thing left was divorce. Rusev and Lana are split, but on the condition of the Bulgarian Brute getting “Bob” Lashley in a Tables Match! And it all happens on #RUSEVDAY!
Lana and Lashley are live via video. Has this been worth it? Their relationship has definitely be worth it. THe only real problem is Rusev’s jealousy. Getting rid of him means it’ll be Ravishing Ever After. Otunga questions manipulating the legal system. Is he a therapist? How about Otunga’s relationship? How about getting in Otunga’s face? Booker wants to redirect things to the match, but he does have to wonder if this relationship is keeping him from the better opportunities? Lashley needed an ally, and now he has a lover. Lana isn’t holding him back. Let’s leave it at that. Lana says she can do a better Spinaroonie. Why is everyone constantly attacking her? They have their own issues so they should mind their own business!
Charly wants to ask if Lana’s Lashley loses to Rusev. Is that Renee? Oh wait, Wannabe Renee! The girl that does Renee’s job worse after Renee got her own show. If Charly keeps asking all these stupid questions, she should not come anywhere near the locker room. Because Lana’s Bobby IS going to destroy Rusev! But sorry, she’s just realy flustered. Lashley says tonight will be a very easy win. Lana says this will finish Rusev. It will literally CRUSH her ex! Coachman has them cut from Lana’s rant. Charly says Lana is not one to take seriously, no matter what. But will the Tables Match “literally” be the end of this grudge one way or another?
The Revival interrupt the panel.
They’re talking about Authors of Pain being an unstoppable team? They should be talking about the soon-to-be four-time tag team champions! But that’s fine, ignore Dash & Dawson like the rest of this company does. AOP is better than them? Well maybe after tonight, The Revival proves everyone wrong! After winning the tag titles, maybe Booker and his “better half” get in the ring, Booker and Stevie Ray will learn who is the better team! This is serious talk! Let them Texas boys get a Carolina beating! Is Harlem Heat going to stop The Revival? Maybe those HOF rings should go to the #TopGuys! Ladder match, SmackDown Tag Titles, the best team on this DAMN PLANET! When Booker is ready to go, come find them! The Revival “politely” hand their mics to Coach before heading out. The Revival and The New Day open the main show!
Booker T takes a moment to let us know that he didn’t respond, because sometimes you gotta go down to their level to raise them up. Booker did not want to go viral on the internet, but he promises something will happen. When and where will Dash & Dawson learn some respect?

Aleister Black speaks.
“About one’s career, there’s always this one competitor. This one person that challenges your move set.” Buddy Murphy is that one for Aleister. He makes Aleister contemplate everything he’s done. Even beyond TLC, Aleister feels they are destined to do this forever. Unless Aleister “amputates” Murphy from his career tonight, and makes him #FadeToBlack. And all of this, because Murphy decided to pick. A fight. With him.
Firefly Fun House has a special TLC edition!

That’s why you need to remember that everyone, good or bad, naughty or nice, demon or angel, everyone needs some TLC. Tables, Ladders and Chairs and your imagination!

The Wolf King has his own TLC match with Roman Reigns. After smothering him with dog food, Roman Reigns was unleashed. Is Corbin concerned about facing Roman in such a dangerous match? Being concerned is for peasants and nerds. Roman thinks he has the upper-hand, but Corbin has him where he wants him. Corbin has won mentally, and now he’ll win physically.

The Bulgarian Brute’s reaction to the supposed proposal of Lashley to Lana is, “I’m elated!” By law, when Lana remarries, he doesn’t have to pay alimony. That is one reason to be thankful. Rusev is also thankful to be free after all this harassment. The only rule tonight is to put Lashley through a table. Whatever plans Lana had planned should just be cancelled, because she’s going to be stuck picking out splinters from Lashley’s back. Rusev is ready to celebrate RUSEV DAY!

Backstage interview with The Miz.
The Hollywood A-Lister lets us know that Monroe is fine, and safe. After last Friday, the entire family is in an undisclosed location to not take any chances. Bray Wyatt isn’t just unpredictable, he’s a monster. Maybe even more than The Fiend. Is Miz worried about being changed? Does it matter? Bray violated the sanctity of Miz’s home!

Miz isn’t fighting as a WWE superstar but as a husband, father and a man protecting his family! Miz is willing to fight anyone, or anything, in that ring tonight. But will he make it through the night against a truly twisted individual?

The referees check on both men but they’re somehow okay to continue. Roman sits up and uses the other desk to help himself up. Corbin stirs as Roman hobbles. Fans fire up for Roman and he is feeling it! Roman takes aim, lets out the battle cry, and gets a big running start around the entire ring! Roman comes in, but SUPERKICK!

Bray Wyatt VS The Miz!
Just when you think the only twisted side of Bray was “him,” we learn that the happy-go-lucky Firefly Fun House host was just as demented! We still don’t know what happened to Daniel Bryan, but now the Most Must-See WWE superstar has joined the “fun.” Will Miz win against Bray for the sake of his family, the WWE Universe and even his archenemy? Or is this just a nightmare before Christmas in the making?
Bray Wyatt has his own entrance different from The Fiend’s. But, perhaps that makes sense when Bray is different from “him.” Bray hops up on the announce desk to wave hi to all his Fireflies and say, “I’m really excited about all of this.” Bray takes pictures with the fans before going into the ring.

Miz doesn’t even consider covering, he is seething. Bray stirs but also chuckles. Miz bounces Bray’s head off the mat! “You think this is funny!?” Miz dribbles Bray’s head more, then hammerlocks an arm. Miz must’ve watched other promotions as he grabs at Bray’s other arm! Bray grins as Miz tortures the arm! Bray even dares Miz to “DO IT!” DARK ARMBAR!! The arm pops out and Bray goes reeling, but he’s still smiling!? Bray runs into barriers to put his arm back in place! Fans chant, “Let Him In!” Miz wrecks Bray with a dropkick then throws him into the Spanish announce desk!
Miz brings Bray back around to throw into steel steps! Miz throws Bray over the other steel steps, then eyes the reconstructed German desk. Miz bounces him off the side, and then off the front. Miz refreshes the count and gets space. Miz runs at Bray, but gets sent into the timekeeper’s area! Bray looks angry again, and he drags Miz up. He has Miz hanging off the barriers, DRAPING ABIGAIL! The ring count climbs to 7 but Bray is smiling again! Bray goes into the ring, the ring count restarts, but Bray smiles and laughs as he leaves Miz to the mercy of the count. Miz drags himself over at 5, 6 and stands at 8. Miz is in at 9.5! Bray brings Miz up, SISTER ABIGAIL! Cover, Bray wins!
Winner: Bray Wyatt, by pinfall
Bray almost looks disappointed that it’s over. But he still smiles and says he “forgives” Miz. But The Fiend is on the titantron? Fans chant “Let Him In!” as Bray locks eyes with his alter ego. The Fiend wants Bray to do something, so Bray will! “WEE~!” Bray brings out the MALLET!! Bray brings the mallet into the ring and watches Miz closely. Miz hasn’t moved, and Bray grins as he drags the mallet over menacingly. But wait, the lights go out? This is usually The Fiend’s move! Bray is so excited! “HE’S HERE! HE’S HERE!” Who is here?! The Fiend can’t be here, because Bray is here! Bray looks around, but when he turns around, KNEE PLUS! That’s DANIEL BRYAN!
Fans shout “YES! YES! YES!” as Bray pulls down the hood to reveal that his hair and bear have been trimmed down. Fans are fired up as Bryan fires off Yes Kicks on Bray in the corner! Bryan goes corner to corner, big dropkick! He keeps going, another dropkick! Another, but Bray dodges, only to get another KNEE PLUS! Fans are fired up as Bryan stands tall over Bray! Bryan keeps Bray from getting to his hammer, and gives him DANIELSON STOMPS! Maybe now they’re Yes Stomps?
Bryan then sees the mallet, and takes it for his own! Bryan looks to the fans, and they say, “YES! YES! YES!” Bryan raises the mallet, but the lights go out again! And when they come back up, Bray is gone. But the Universal Championship is still here. Bryan hammers the mat, and stands up top. Fans are happy to see Bryan’s back, but will The Fiend have something to say about this?

Lashley soaks up the heat as he brings Rusev up to shove into a post! Lashley brings a table up, to throw at Rusev! Rusev gets clear and the table breaks on the post! That was a creative idea to turn this match upside-down. Lashley drags Rusev up to put him in the ring, and then Lashley resets the table from a moment ago. Lashley goes in and punches Rusev around. Lashley drags Rusev up to whip him corner to corner, then goes out to fetch another table. Lashley puts this table in the ring while Lana glares at Rusev.

Lashley brings Rusev to a corner for buckle bumps, then hoists him up top. Lashley climbs up and has his shot lined up, but Rusev fights back!
Rusev slips out, trips Lashley up, and then hoists Lashley onto his shoulders! Lashley holds onto the rope so Rusev puts him on the apron. They both remember that other table, and Rusev works to knock Lashley off. Lashley hits back, and works to suplex Rusev out! Rusev holds on now and works to suplex Lashley in. There’s a suplex and a table waiting either way, but Lashley hotshots! Rusev BLASTS Lashley off the apron but Lashley flies over the table! Rusev almost curses his own strength. Rusev goes out and gets the steel steps as a weapon! And he RAMS Lashley down at the ramp! Fans cheer as Rusev seeks something from far away. Rusev uncovers railing and brings it over! Rusev has the steel railing and aims at Lashley, to RAM him down!
Fans cheer as Rusev holds the railing up high, and then positions it against the apron. Rusev is treating this piece of steel like a table as he brings Lashley up. Lashley rakes the eyes! And throws big hands, to then SLAM Rusev onto the railing!! Fans lose their minds as Rusev’s body bends the steel! Lashley looks for something more, and brings out a kendo stick!

Rusev adjusts one table and then goes back to Lashley. But Lana hops on! She claws at Rusev’s eyes, and lines him up for Lashley’s SPEAR! But it isn’t straight, it just bounces Rusev off the table! So Lashley brings Rusev up to EXPLODER through the other!! Lashley wins!
Winner: Bobby Lashley
Lana’s twisted love helped Lashley conquer Rusev! She and Lashley leave Rusev in the wreckage. Is Rusev going to be as heartbroken as that table? Are Lana and Lashley going to live ravishingly ever after?
The Street Profits comment.
“DAWKINS!” On the final, final, FINAL WWE PPV of this decade, Lashley has Lana all to himself. Any advice to the All Mighty? Three words: Get a vasectomy. WHOA! You can’t say that! But be real, fam! Otherwise, one of Lashley’s little swimmers goes all Phelps and-
Whoa wait, what’s going on just off-camera? Roman Reigns and The New Day are brawling with the King’s Court! That TLC fiasco settled NOTHING! Roman sends Corbin into the Street Profits’ set! Whoa, Mustafa Ali, Shorty G and Buddy Murphy are involved, too?! The Profits try to help Roman’s side out, but TLC cuts away! Just what does this mean for SmackDown?

Winners: The Kabuki Warriors; still WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions
The Man was so close and yet so far from becoming #BeckyTwoBelts again! But in the end, the Empress and the Princess were the superior duo! Is there going to be a duo that can even come close?
Wait! That backstage brawl from before has spilled out to ringside!

Roman and Corbin brawl high up above, but Roman SPEARS Corbin onto everyone!! TLC goes off the air, but what does this mean for the rest of the holiday season?!
My Thoughts:
This TLC was off to a hot start but it sure went cold and rather sideways before the end. For a kickoff match, Carrillo VS Almas was great! Carrillo gets another win, and the dysfunction between Almas and Vega grows stronger. I don’t know if I want to see that duo split up or not, but I’m sure there’s a way to make both possibilities work out. The SmackDown Tag Title ladder match was an amazing opener, though very scary at times when it comes to knee damage. I really thought Dawson and Big E were really hurt, but it seems they were fortunate to still be walking. It’s really tough to say how New Day retaining affects things. It’s good for Kofi to still have something but the Revival really could’ve used another reign. Though, Revival getting in Booker’s face during the kickoff show, that could make for an incredible WrestleMania match with Harlem Heat.
Aleister VS Murphy was pretty great, especially when you factor in Aleister’s bloody and possibly broken nose. He still finished the match and got his win in a real fight feel, that sudden Black Mass knockout. Not sure where Aleister goes from here other than the US Championship. At the same time, Lesnar has to do something for Royal Rumble, I’m just not sure if it’s time for Aleister to go for the world title yet. Sadly, things started really dropping off after this. I was right to think The OC would answer the open challenge, but this match wasn’t much more than what you’d get on a Raw. Also those “fans” were so obviously not fans if they were eating KFC in front of the barriers. I kinda wish the KFC table spot would’ve been part of the match. Sure it would’ve disqualified the match, but it would’ve brought the actual quality up. From endless squash matches to a product placement match, Vince just doesn’t know how to use either of those teams, does he?
Roman VS Corbin was on its way to being a good non-title TLC, but it got overbooked with Ziggler and The Revival coming out without any retaliation. I’m also surprised this match didn’t main event given the actual ending of the show. If Vince wanted that moment to end the show, then let their TLC match main event. Why have that brawl break out between Faces and Heels of both Raw and SmackDown like that, too? Limit it only to SmackDown, and then still go to that same spot and have Roman spear Corbin onto the pile. But instead, things “spill out” immediately after the women’s tag title match ended, just so Vince’s favorite story can be the last thing we see.
I also don’t think Bray VS Miz was booked effectively. I did like that Bray was laughing off the pain and not even really trying to fight Miz until the end. I suppose we were all expecting too much for Bryan to be on Bray’s side, but I would’ve at least wanted to see Bryan with a patchy beard before giving us his literal baby face from the NXT Reality TV days. Bray/Fiend VS Bryan for the Universal Championship at Royal Rumble might still be coming, but I’m not sure what to make of this right now.
Rusev VS Lashley was alright, but Table Matches are becoming like Cage Matches to me. How can you book these things creatively when there’s only so much the thing in question can do? There’s limits to the cage, there’s limits to the table. It worked out they had the two tables set up, as that Spear didn’t work. I don’t think that was the plan, but it was good to have a back-up plan. Lana started planting the seeds of Lashley dumping her, too, in the kickoff. Even he had a hard time dealing with her verbal outbursts. I really hope they don’t drag this out too much, I don’t know how much longer I can take Lana being so strongly cringe worthy on purpose.
The Women’s Tag TLC was pretty scary at times, such as Asuka going into chair legs and Kairi apparently boomeranging a chair into herself. It was also sloppy, as it just seems like Kairi and Charlotte haven’t learned to sync up. There was good innovation during this match, though, such as bringing in a bull rope to combine it with the ladder. I won’t say I’m disappointed we didn’t get PCB reunited with Paige screwing over the Kabuki Warriors, because the Kabuki Warriors do really deserve to keep those titles. Honestly, when Starrcade gave us the Fatal 4 Way tag, that was a superior match but probably because it allowed Bliss-Cross and Bayley-Banks to take some of the responsibility. For what this match was, I was able to enjoy it pretty well. This should probably be the last of it between these two teams, to try and get SmackDown in on these tag titles now.
My Score: 7.9/10

Backstage interview with Billie Starkz.
Lexy Nair is with her ROH Minion buddy, and notes that Billie is the first ROH woman entered in the first ever WrestleDynasty International Women’s Cup! Billie, what an opportunity, how are you feeling? She is excited! This is the second chance she’s been waiting for, and- Red Velvet steps in to say more like NO chance. Because see, Velvet is also in that match, and well, she already beat Billie. So her odds are looking really good. But then in steps Leyla Hirsch. And she says lucky for them both, because Leyla’s in this! Leyla beat Velvet once, and just looking at Billie, Leyla knows she can beat her.
Oh but then in steps the ROH Women’s World Champion, Athena! The Minion Overlord defends her bestie and Billie, and says it is finally time for the Athena World Tour! She is the fourth participant, even though, why does she have to qualify for HER show? Athena has beaten Velvet, she’s beaten “Small fry” Leyla, and well… Billie Goat, we all know Athena dog walked her! Velvet says Athena shouldn’t talk to Billie like that. Billie says “Cupcake” doesn’t need to defend her. Things are getting tense already, who wins their way into WrestleDynasty’s massive crossover match?
Backstage interview with QT Marshall.
Lexy is now with QT and says later int he Zero Hour, it is QT VS Big Boom AJ. QT took AJ out last night after the weigh-in, will it be the same here tonight? QT wants Lexy to remember, pronounce it “Mar-shall.” And yes, in QT’s home state of New Jersey, the best part will be QT remembering why he left. It’s a dump! Especially Newark! But AJ is also from New Jersey, and he properly represents this dump. Whether AJ is on the Tonight Show, on TikTok, or here in AEW, he is the epitome of someone from The Garden State: an embarrassment! He’s worse than Bruce Springsteen himself!
And tonight, in a sold out crowd that QT drew all himself, it will be like going to his high school reunion and showing how he is more successful than everyone else. And he’ll do that by walking to the ring, staring down AJ, and bringing the doom! Will QT Marshall make himself the boss of the Zero Hour? Or will it be a BOOM for all of New Jersey when QT loses?

Mercedes Mone & Kamille arrive backstage.
The CEO is upset that her title defense has to be here in disgusting Newark, NJ. But since the cameras are here, she has something to say to Kamille now. This last month has been super frustrating. Actually, more like embarrassing! Kamille came out to the crowd, pandering for sympathy?! Mone wouldn’t even be in this mess if not for Kamille in the first place! Kamille shows up wanting to attack Kris Statlander, and then she loses to her?! And let’s not even start on her bad driving! Is Kamille stupid or just dumb? Kamille tells Mone to watch herself. Mone asks if she gave Kamille permission to speak. Does Kamille not know who Mone is and what she’s done for this business?
Mone is The CEO, the greatest woman’s champion o fall time! And tonight, Kamille can just watch from catering as Mone shows how a real woman gets the job done. Watch and learn. Mone leaves, Kamille rolls her eyes, but clearly Kamille wishes she could use both arms right now. Will the Brickhouse just have to watch Two Belts Mone lose one of those belts all on her own?

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
Lexy Nair is with Freshly Squeezed and says this past Wednesday, The Death Riders sent a clear message. How is that affecting his mindset tonight? Cassidy says yes, they sent a message. But tonight, “we” send a message back. AEW sends a message back! Private Party started it. They’re AEW Day One, and they’re the AEW World Tag Team Champions. Because AEW means everything to them, just like it does to Cassidy and to all the fans here tonight. How could Moxley possibly understand that? Because Moxley never needed AEW. Cassidy wouldn’t exist without AEW. So tonight, Cassidy shows that AEW doesn’t need Moxley!
Cassidy takes the power, the symbol of what AEW represents, and puts it in his backpack as the NEW AEW World Champion. Cassidy heads out, will he make this all become a reality?
MJF VS Roderick Strong!
The Wolf of Wrestling tried to worm his way out of another situation by setting obstacles in front of his enemies. However, The Savior of the Backbreaker still made it through three matches to earn this opportunity and finally shutting MJF up. Will Roddy break MJF’s back and make him humble?

The fans boo but MJF goes back to put Roddy in the ring. MJF storms in, he drags Roddy around, and MJF stands on Roddy’s hand. “You’re a bum!

World Tag League 2024 B Block: Tetsuya Naito & Hiromu Takahashi VS Toru Yano & Boltin Oleg!
The Uncontrollable Charisma & Ticking Timebomb took down The Mighty to start this tournament while The Joker & The Rook were cheated by the King of Darkness. Will Naito & Hiromu just add on with another win? Or can Yano & Oleg put the ungovernable behind BARS?
To keep calm during LIJ’s antics, Yano sits at the center of the ring, cross legged, as if to meditate. But it doesn’t really work as Hiromu walks back up the ramp to stand with Naito. Yano loses his cool, shouts at Naito & Hiromu to hurry up, but LIJ take little steps down the ramp. They make it seem like they’re going fast, and Hiromu even does little circles to take longer. Yano is beside himself and this isn’t even a match yet. Red Shoes also insists, so LIJ finally walk normally again. But even then, they take their time getting into the ring. Naito taps the bell, and the introductions finally happen.
Naito continues to troll Yano even as he goes up the ring steps. And then down the steps as Yano gets closer. Red Shoes has Yano back off, and Hiromu insists Yano give Naito space. Yano’s impatience continues to get the better of him, but finally he stays back long enough for Naito to step inside. Then there’s still the matter of his entrance attire… Yano tells Naito to hurry up already but Naito does as Naito does. Hiromu even reclines back while he waits. Yano is just further annoyed, but his complaints do nothing but entertain the fans. Naito finally puts the pants aside, and Yano says okay, let’s get going!
Yano starts, LIJ fist bumps, and Naito pretends to be unsure who Yano wants. Hiromu and Naito each insist, Yano says it doesn’t matter, just hurry! Naito starts, the bell rings, and then Naito tags out to Hiromu. The fans cheer, Yano is further annoyed, so Yano tags Oleg! The fans cheer and Hiromu says hold on, and he tags in Naito. Naito wants Yano, and Hiromu even gets fans to cheer, but Yano says no. Naito and Oleg circle, but Naito SPITS at Yano! Yano is upset again but he stays put. Naito and Oleg approach, but then Naito dodges Oleg to BLAST Yano off the apron! The fans cheer, Yano is upset, and now he wants in!
Oleg tags Yano, but Naito tags out to Hiromu! The fans cheer as the trolling continues, and Hiromu says he is Yano’s opponent now. They approach, Yano dodges, but Naito avoids Yano’s attack! Hiromu CLUBS Yano, then BLASTS Oleg! The fans cheer and Hiromu stomps Yano. Naito joins in to double whip Yano, but Yano grabs ropes. Oleg runs in to DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE LIJ! The fans fire up and Yano says good job! Oleg stomps Naito out of the ring, and Yano unties a buckle pad! Red Shoes reprimands but Yano takes a swing on Hiromu! Hiromu dodges, Red Shoes grabs the pad, but Yano SHOVES Red Shoes down!
Hiromu drop toeholds Yano down! Then he basement dropkicks! The fans rally up and Hiromu paces around Yano. Hiromu stomps Yano, then slides out to go after Oleg! Hiromu kicks Oleg, SHOVES him into railing, then hurries into the ring. Hiromu has the buckle pad and he beats Yano with it! The fans cheer but Red Shoes is confused as to how this happened! Hiromu says no, it’s okay, it’s just a pad. Tag to Naito and Hiromu “apologizes” to Red Shoes, but now Naito beats Yano down with the pad! Red Shoes reprimands but Hiromu & Naito double whip Yano, to DOUBLE PAD LINE! Hiromu then puts the pad aside while Naito kicks Yano.
Naito goes to the corner, hops up, and he has the buckle pad. Hiromu distracts Red Shoes from the DIVING PAD ATTACK! Cover, but Red Shoes has to put the pad aside. Hiromu counts, TWO! Red Shoes says that wouldn’t count anyway! Naito puts on a CAMEL CLUTCH! Yano endures but Hiromu runs and runs and builds up speed, to BLAST Oleg! Naito grinds Yano down but Yano scoots back to the ROPEBREAK! Red Shoes counts, Naito lets go and tags Hiromu. Naito brings Yano up and LIJ double whips Yano to ropes. They DOUBLE LARIAT, then DOUBLE BASEMENT DROPKICK! Cover, TWO!
Hiromu looms over Yano and taunts him. The fans rally, Hiromu drags Yano up, but Yano pulls hair! Red Shoes reprimands, but then Hiromu pulls hair! So Yano uses both hands! Hiromu uses both hands! Red shoes counts, both men let go at 4! Hiromu kicks and whips, but Yano reverses to THROW Hiromu down! The fans rally, Yano crawls, hot tag to Oleg! Oleg CLOBBERS Hiromu! Naito gets away but Oleg goes back to Hiromu! Oleg deadlifts Hiromu, but Naito runs in and CLUBS Oleg on the back! LIJ double whips Oleg, but Oleg breaks the line! Hiromu shoves Naito aside, dodges Oleg, then he sends Naito into Oleg!
Hiromu picks Naito up to make him RA- NO, Oleg stops the assisted rana, to Shake, Rattle and- NO, Hiromu dropkicks a leg! Oleg lets Naito go as he hobbles, and Hiromu runs to CROSSBODY! But Oleg catches Hiromu! Shake, Rattle, and THROW! And a kip up, too! The fans fire up with Oleg, and Oleg runs corner to corner at Hiromu for a SPLASH! Those bare buckles hurt, but then so does the scoop SLAM! Oleg runs to SPLASH DOWN! Cover, TWO! The fans rally up, Oleg fireman’s carries Hiromu, but Hiromu fights free! Oleg elbows Hiromu away, CHOPS him to a corner, and then scoops Hiromu to SLAM him!
Hiromu is in the drop zone, Oleg goes up and up to VADER BOMB! Cover, TWO! The fans cheer but Oleg rolling deadlifts Hiromu! Fireman’s carry and- NO, Hiromu rolls with the crucifix takedown! Ghost pin, TWO! Both men stagger up and Hiromu SUPERKICKS! Oleg roars, Hiromu dodges and CROSSBODIES! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Oleg and Hiromu crawl, hot tag to Yano! Yano runs to BLAST Naito! Yano goes to Hiromu and brings him up. Hiromu CHOPS! But then Yano dodges to clinch and BELLY2BELLY! Yano then drags Hiromu around, and CATAPULTS him to Oleg! OVERHEAD BELLY2BELLY! Yano covers, TWO!!
The fans fire up as Hiromu survives! Yano huffs ‘n’ puffs and he drags Hiromu up. Yano pops Hiromu up, but Hiromu fights to hit a DDT! Naito sends Oleg into railing! Hiromu hot tags Naito in! The fans rally up as Naito stands Yano up for those heavy elbows! Naito elbows Yano again and again, then puts him in a corner. Naito climbs up, reels Yano in, and hits ESPERANZA! A rough roll but Naito is back up. Yano staggers, but he dodges Naito to push him down! M U! TWO!! Yano hits a fireman’s carry takeover, into M U 3! TWO!! Yano shoves Red Shoes, but Naito atomic drops and ENZIGIRIS!
Hiromu SUPERKICKS Yano, BLASTS Oleg, then helps Naito with the TORNADO DDT!! Hiromu goes to the apron and CROSSBODIES, but Oleg catches him! Oleg SLAMS Hiromu down while Naito brings Yano up. Naito wrenches, but Oleg runs in and SHOTGUNS Naito down! Oleg hauls Naito up, fireman’s carries, but Hiromu SUPERKICKS! Hiromu runs, but into a POP-UP fireman’s carry! Naito runs at Oleg but Oleg THROWS Hiromu at him! LIJ topples over, Yano gets in there to cover them both! Oleg adds on, too! OLEG & YANO WIN!!
Winners: Toru Yano & Boltin Oleg, by pinfall (gain 2 points; Naito & Hiromu earn 0)
It was a rather wild ending, but the NEVER Openweight Six Man Tag Team Champions come out on top! Hiromu tries to understand how that happened, but Naito brushes it off. Will LIJ just have to be ready for anything if they wanna win WTL?
As for Yano & Oleg, Yano gets the mic to say, “Hey, everyone, my apologies. Sorry to Naito and Hiromu, and to all the fans here because I knew you were supporting Naito. So again, I’m sorry, I didn’t read the room.” The fans applaud, they aren’t really upset. Yano says it’s rare, though, isn’t it? That he’d win in the main event? But Yano vows that whether on accident or on purpose, Yano & Oleg will win the whole tournament! No more need to read the room! This Toru Yano, and this Boltin Oleg, or perhaps “Yano Boltin” for short. They will win the championships!
Yano says they’ll test this out. He’ll have Oleg say more than just “Hai” and we’ll chant “Yano Boltin.” Is everyone ready? The fans applaud, and Yano asks Boltin for a few words. Oleg takes the mic and thanks everyone for being here tonight. He feels they can definitely win the World Tag League, so thank you very much! The fans cheer, and join in on “YANO BOL-TIN!” Shrug! The Joker & The Rook are looking good now that they’re on the board, but will they make a run at the top?
Here are the NEW B Block standings!
Evil & Ren Narita: 2-0, 4 points
Taichi & Taka Michinoku: 1-1, 2 points
Toru Yano & Boltin Oleg: 1-1, 2 points
Tetsuya Naito & Hiromu Takahashi: 1-1, 2 points
Shane Haste & Mikey Nicholls: 1-1, 2 points
Great-O-Khan & Henare: 1-1, 2 points
The Filip Brothers: 1-1, 2 points
Hiroshi Tanahashi & Jado: 0-2, 0 points
My Thoughts:
A great second round for B Block, and that is already quite the traffic jam at 1-1. Great rebound win for TMDK over The Filip Brothers, and of course The House of Torture cheats to stay spotless at 2-0. Great rebound win for Henare & Khan, and I think there’s even a chance we see Tanahashi and Khan feud down the line, maybe putting on a KOPW Championship match while Khan still has it. That’s a small window, though, with 2024 almost over and then it’ll be reset for 2025. And what a great match and great shocker in the main event. Hilarious comedy elements with Yano being so impatient, and yet his team comes out on top.
The eventual Yano & Oleg VS Tanahashi & Jado match is going to be a really important one, because with just seven rounds, another loss could pop the bubble on The Ace’s chances. At the same time, Yano & Oleg are his friends and fellow NEVER Openweight Six Man Champions, there’s some drama in that they could really play up.
My Score: 8.9/10
