PLAY BY PLAY
The NEW WWE Universal Champion, GOLDBERG, is here!
For those who didn’t see Super Showdown, the icon defeated The Fiend! The blue strap is back and SmackDown begins the home stretch to WrestleMania with a new champion! Boston’s reaction is mixed as Goldberg says, “Ladies and gentlemen, do not be mistaken. It’s not about who was last. It’s all about WHO’S NEXT!” Mic drop as Goldberg waits for someone to appear. And the person to appear is ROMAN REIGNS! The Big Dog was also victorious at Super Showdown as he defeated Baron Corbin inside a Steel Cage, and now stares Goldberg down from the ramp. Roman has more fans on his side than against as he gets in the ring to stand with the new champion.
Roman gets himself a mic and circles Goldberg while fans are a mix of cheers and jeers. Some fans go as far as saying, “You Both Suck!” Roman simply says, “I’m next.” Both men are men who get straight to the point. But if Roman is next, is he next to fall to the returning legend? Or is he the next WWE Universal Champion?
SmackDown relives highlights of John Cena’s career.
June 27, 2002: Kurt Angle asked, “Who in the hell are you?” John Cena introduced himself, and showed he had Ruthless Aggression! The Undertaker even gave Cena a handshake. That is how it all began, but what is the next chapter for the mega star’s mega career?

The SmackDown Women’s Champion is still the “role model” after she used Naomi’s own T-shirt to trap her legs. But in this non-title rematch, can Naomi get payback and punch a ticket to another showdown?
The bell rings and Bayley uses the ropes as defense. Fans boo as Bayley gets a mic. “This is ridiculous! I should not even have to be here right now, especially in front of you little idiots.” Boston boos Bayley as she exits the ring. Bayley made history when she beat Naomi in Saudi Arabia, but she’s here because of one reason and one reason only. Let her introduce the future Grammy award winning, future platinum record seller, it is THE BOSS! Sasha Banks returns to SmackDown to reunite with her best friend forever. Sasha taunts Naoim and then Bayley sucker punches her! The Boss laughs as Bayley stomps Naomi to the ropes.

Give an assist to the Show-Off for this one! Mandy and Sonya Deville are both watching. “Her man” is happy that Roode won. Is Ziggler x Mandy an item? Is Roode-Dolph headed to the SmackDown Tag Team Championship scene?
Otis is watching SmackDown, too!
The disheveled Dozer tells Tucky that he has no idea what to do. Something isn’t right. He feels it, but he can’t put his finger on it. Tucker tells Otis that he loves him and all, but the truth is, sometimes the guy doesn’t get the girl. Sometimes a guy like Ziggler does. Just let Mandy go. But Heavy Machinery will find Otis that love in the WWE Universe. Tucky’s right. Can Heavy Machinery salvage Dozer from being down in the dumps as they return to in-ring action next week?
SmackDown has another John Cena highlight.
April 7, 2013: WrestleMania 29 in New York! Cena VS The Rock for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, a once in a lifetime match-up! The Rock went in the champion, but it was Cena who left the champion! Another incredible win for Cena, but does he have one more in his future?
Renee Young presides over the WWE Intercontinental Championship contract signing.
The Elimination Chamber PPV is coming, and this title will be on the line! So please welcome first, the challenger and former champion, Shinsuke Nakamura! The King of Strong Style has the Swiss Cyborg and “great liberator” Sami Zayn with him as he goes to the ring. He had nine staples put in the back of his head after that awful landing on the grand piano during last week’s Symphony of Destruction. But now, the champion, BRAUN! The Monster Among Men sports a new mullet as he makes his way to the ring. Renee knows they’ve reviewed the contract and has Nakamura sign first.
But Sami wants everyone to just hang on a moment. They’re conducting business like gentlemen, so Strowman should grab a seat. Strowman grabs his seat, to THROW it! Oh real good. Then before Nakamura signs, Sami wants to double check the language of this contract. The mistreatment of Team Sami “is nothing short than a travesty of justice!” Nakamura’s birthday was ruined from those nine staples after being powerslam’d through the piano!! Nakamura is an artist, a poet- Strowman tells Sami to shut up! Everyone is sick and tired of Sami bitching and moaning. It doesn’t matter what’s in the contract, because Strowman knows Cesaro and Sami will get involved, and he’s fine with that. Strowman signs first.
Well we all heard Strowman just now. He’s willing to fight all three, right? There’s no spin here, Strowman doesn’t care what’s in the contract, he’ll fight them all, and then signed. Sami says that can happen, because with a little amendment and initial, all Cesaro and Sami have to do is sign their parts! And so now, the WWE can notarize the contract, and the title will be a 3 VS 1 HANDICAP MATCH!! So Strowman should listen carefully: “You are going DOWN at Elimination Chamber!” Strowman moves the table aside and Team Sami gets worried. The fight’s at the PPV, not tonight! “What makes you think you’re gonna make it to Elimination Chamber?”
Strowman swats Cesaro and Nakamura down! But before he can get to Sami, Nakamura and Cesaro go after him together! Strowman grabs them both by the throat, then Sami hits a HELLUVA KICK! And another! And then Nakamura adds a KINSHASA! “Is that how you want it? That’s how you get it!” Cesaro moves the table over, he and Nakamura bring Strowman over, double suplex WITH a Helluva Kick, through the table! Fans boo but the Monster is down. But then back up! He staggers about as Team Sami leaves, but will he be getting up when it’s the title on the line?
Daniel Bryan VS ???
The Yes Movement rolls down the Road to WrestleMania, but will he rolling into Tampa?
SmackDown returns and Bryan’s opponent is Curtis Axel! Drew Gulak is on commentary, apparently having chosen Axel as the new superstar to poke the holes in Bryan’s style. The bell rings, Axel and Bryan tie up, and Bryan waistlocks. Axel backs Bryan down to a corner, and throws an elbow! The ref reprimands but Axel stomps a mudhole into Bryan. The ref backs Axel off but Axel comes back for more. Axel snapmares and neck snaps Bryan down! Cover, ONE, but Axel is right on Bryan with an armlock. Axel digs his fingers into Bryan’s face but Bryan works his way up to his feet.
Bryan throws knees and European Uppercuts, but Axel gives the knees back. Axel whips Bryan to a corner, blocks the boots and clotheslines Bryan over and over! The ref reprimands but Axel clotheslines and throws Bryan down! Axel mocks the Yes Movement as he stomps Bryan and Gulak says Axel needs to stay focused. Bryan turns things around to give Yes Kicks to Axel! Fans chant “YES! YES!” with each one, then Bryan whips. Axel kicks back then throws Bryan out hard! Gulak taunts Bryan to get up while Axel goes out to fetch Bryan. Axel throws Bryan into the post! That’s not part of Gulak’s game plan but Axel follows Bryan in to stomp him down.
Axel has Bryan against ropes and grinds his forearms in. The ref counts and reprimands but Axel keeps on Bryan with a whip. Bryan goes up and over and runs, then ducks and comes back with a leaping lariat! Fans fire up with Bryan and he gives Axel more Yes Kicks! “YES! YES!” And then the buzzsaw, but Axel ducks it to roll him up! TWO, into the LeBelle Lock, but Axel jackknifes! TWO! Bryan runs into a cradle, TWO! Bryan gets Axel in underhooks but Axel powers out. Axel swings, and clotheslines from behind! Gulak is pumped that his PowerPoint worked! Axel brings Bryan up, but his timing is off, and Bryan counters to the LeBelle Lock!! Axel taps, Bryan wins!
Winner: Daniel Bryan, by submission
Gulak is annoyed that Axel lost, but he says Axel almost had Bryan. Will Gulak find the perfect student to teach Bryan a lesson?
SmackDown has another John Cena highlight.
January 29, 2017: Royal Rumble, Cena VS AJ Styles for the WWE World Championship. The Phenomenal One couldn’t keep Cena down forever, Cena hits the AA and wins! The historic 16th reign that ties Cena with Ric Flair! But is there still time for Cena to become a historic 17 time?
The NEW SmackDown Tag Team Champions have a photo shoot.
The Miz and John Morrison celebrate their victory with “Hey hey! Ho ho! Miz ‘n’ Morrison!” But will they be celebrating for much longer as they’re in action here tonight?
Miz & Morrison head to the ring!
The Awesome A-Lister and the Guru of Greatness strut down the ramp and grab mics as they hit the ring. “What? No ‘You Deserve It’ chants?” Some fans do chant it and Miz agrees. Godfather, The Terminator, the Marine: great originals but even greater sequels. Miz is in Marines 3, 4, 5 and 6 so it’s what matters. If you thought they were good back in the day, check them out now! The haters were wrong and will choke on the pancakes! Miz and Morrison did what they said, and the Friday Night Delight and Most Must-See Superstar are again tag team champions!
Hate on them, chant “You Suck” all you want (which fans do), the only thing these two hear is the sweet sound of victory. And that sounds like “Miz ‘n’ Morrison! Hey hey! Ho ho!” Some fans actually join in. And now the party begins! But wait, a referee informs Greg Hamilton of an announcement? “Ladies and gentlemen,” Miz & Morrison will have their first tag team title defense will be against the New Day, Heavy Machinery, Lucha House Party, Roode-Dolph, AND the Usos! That’s because it will be an ELIMINATION CHAMBER MATCH at Elimination Chamber the PPV! The Miz and Morrison are furious, but here come the Usos! Will Jimmy & Jey grab up major momentum towards that massive tag team match?
The Usos VS The Miz & Morrison!
SmackDown returns as Jey and Morrison circle with the bell. Morrison waistlocks then headlocks but Jey powers out. Morrison runs Jey over and Miz keeps the cheesy chant going. Things speed up, Morrison lands out of the hip toss, but Jey sweeps the legs! Morrison ROCKS Jey then tags MIz, but Jey hip tosses Miz! Jey rams into Miz and Jimmy tags in. Jimmy hits a big corner forearm then covers, TWO! Glitching hits the screen as Jimmy elbows Miz. But Miz distracts the ref, Morrison gets a cheap shot, and Miz hits the basement DDT! Cover, TWO!
Miz taunts Jey with the Uso chant, then drags Jimmy up to punch back down. Tag to Morrison and they combine for the classic catapult into forearm and slingshot elbow drop! Cover out of the 21st Century Classic, TWO! Jimmy goes to ropes but Morrison kicks him in the ribs. Morrison grinds a knee into Jimmy but lets up at the ref’s count. Miz gets a cheap shot in! Fans boo ans Morrison brings Jimmy over and tags Miz. Miz and Morrison double gut buster on Jimmy! Miz taunts Jey then hits his basement BOOT!

Miz gets to a corner but fans join in on the “UCE! OH!” chant. Jey runs but Miz dodges the hip attack, only to run into another fireman’s carry. Miz full nelsons but Jey arm-drags out.

Jey uppercuts Morrison but Morrison ROCKS him back! Jimmy tags in and Jey dodges Morrison, Uso double enziguri! Morrison is down, Jey tags in and Jimmy DIVES onto Miz! Jey goes up, USO SPLASH gets knees! Cover, TWO!!
Morrison is frustrated that Jey survives the last second counter. Jey gets to the corner, Morrison runs in, but Jey puts him on the apron. Morrison ROCKS Jey but Jey uppercuts back! Jey climbs up and Jimmy tags in. Morrison trips Jey and ROCKS Jimmy! Starship Pain gets an ENZIGURI! Morrison ends up in a Tree of Woe and Jimmy climbs. Jimmy brings Morrison up, Jey SUPERKICKS Miz down, then tags in. Jey goes to one corner as Jimmy hits a SUPER DESTROYER! USO SPLASH! Cover, The Usos win!!
Winners: The Usos, by pinfall
They just pinned the SmackDown Tag Team Champions! Will the sequel actually be shorter than the original? Or can Miz and Morrison find a way to survive five challengers in the Chamber?
JOHN CENA RETURNS!
Boston explodes for their hometown hero and he’s just as pumped as they are! Cena gets the mic as fans cheer. “I came here tonight to talk to you, but you’re all talking to me!” SmackDown, Friday night on Fox, Boston make some noise! No, Bean Town, let him hear you! “This is crazy!” Fans are thunderous for Cena and he thanks them for that. “What am I doing here?” For one, it’s WrestleMania season. It’s time to answer the question: What is Cena doing for WrestleMania? An event that no WWE superstar wants to miss. Cena’s role has changed but he’ll say this loud and proud: he is and will always be a WWE superstar.
But then, what is Cena going to do for WrestleMania? “I’m doing something different.” Cena knows exactly how hard the superstars work for just even one WrestleMania moment. He prides himself on listening to the biggest superstar of them all: the WWE Universe. Fans cheer as he turns the mic to them. “And we do have an excited Universe here tonight!” Sometimes, we may feel like “they” don’t listen, but Cena listens. He hears us after Raw, after NXT, after SmackDown, and the fans are all passionate about the future of the WWE! Cena feels that because he’s passionate about that, too. Fans cheer in appreciation of that.
So Cena says he could come out here and say he’ll do whatever for Mania, and the WWE would probably make it happen. So then what IS Cena doing for Mania? Cena says he is doing “the right thing.” Because this year, Mania should be without Cena. Fans disagree with that! But Cena makes sure they know this isn’t good-bye. It is good-bye for now. He, like the fans, believes in the future of the WWE and the hard work of the new generation. Mania spots should be earned, not demanded and handed out. That means this year must be a Mania without Cena.
Fans are surely sour, but that means this is special. Cena isn’t sure when he’ll be back, so he wanted to make sure his announcement was “in a place that I call home.” He’s from West Newbury so it’s great to be here in Boston! This is a rowdy group here tonight! Fans chant for Cena again, and he says that means more than they’ll ever know. Cena sets the mic down, shakes hands with fans, and takes his leave. Cena takes one last long look and gives a salute to the fans. But then the lights start going out!! Cena surely knows what this means if he’s been watching the show! And when the lights come on… THE FIEND IS THERE!
Cena turns around to see Bray Wyatt, but he does not run. The Fiend points to the Mania sign! Fans realize what he means, and want to see it!! Cena tips his hat to the Fiend and says “You Can’t See Me!” The lights go out, Bray’s laugh echoes out into the night, and we have a WrestleMania dream (re)match set! But will it be one last nightmare for the iconic 16-time world champion?
My Thoughts:
A pretty good episode for it having to follow a disappointing and even frustrating Super Showdown. I appreciate them not beating around the bush on two big WrestleMania matches. Goldberg dares someone to step up, Roman steps up immediately, and we’re getting that for the WWE Universal Championship right away. John Cena returns, plays up wanting to put over the future and let them have their Mania moments, but then The Fiend comes out to make a challenge. Cena of course accepts immediately, and surely that match will be made official. It’s a bit of a shame the title isn’t on the Fiend VS Cena match to tease the easiest thing to tease: Will Cena get his 17th? Did the WWE NOT want to do that because it’d seem too obvious that he won’t?
While we’re not getting a WWE Intercontinental Championship Chamber match, getting a 3v1 Handicap isn’t bad. Well, it is, if you’re Nakamura, Cesaro and Sami. They got to put Strowman through a table tonight after more or less suckering him into the match, but I feel like Strowman ends up beating all three. Great for Strowman, bad for three equally talented wrestlers, so that the Chamber match would’ve actually been better. At least we’re getting a SmackDown Tag Team Championship Chamber match. Miz & Morrison VS Usos was a really great tag match, and that tag chamber match should be amazing given all the teams in it. I suspect there to be plenty of Otis and Ziggler story explored through this match, too, with their teams in the match.
Sasha Banks making her return was a good surprise for Boston, since she’s their other hometown hero. The legacy of Teddy Long continues on and we get a pretty good tag match of Naomi & Lacey VS Bayley & Banks. Lacey kinda let it slip there is going to be a SmackDown Women’s Chamber match, but now I’m not so sure. Sasha, Naomi, and Lacey are obvious contenders, and you can give Carmella one more chance, but who else is there in the SmackDown Women’s Division? Will the IIconics make their return just to fill space? WWE doesn’t need to slip back into their copypasta days when Raw and SmackDown had practically the same stories in the Women’s Divisions going. I’d actually be okay if this was a Chamber match we skipped this year.
My Score: 8.3/10

And Moxley doesn’t have the same patience as the fans do for their cowboy! Moxley is sick of waiting for Hangman to get his act together. Moxley is sick of this crybaby cowboy’s crap! The fans boo more, but Moxley says this is a tough sport and a tough business. So on July 12th at All In, Moxley will run the Hangman outta this sport for good!
The fans boo even more, but Moxley tells Hangman he can just go back to counting chickens or whatever it is he does, because this business is NOT for him! The Maniac has given his warning, but is it all bluster knowing Hangman isn’t around? Or will nothing and no one stop the reign of terror?

Thunder Rosa, Queen Aminata & TayJay speak.
Tay Melo tells Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford that they know what happened last time. Tonight is round two! And Anna adds that there are so many more ways they wanna hurt them. The One True African Queen says Thekla may have won, but she knows she got hit hard, huh? She ain’t seen nothing yet! And La Mera Mera reminds Athena that she’s coming for that ROH Women’s World Championship. Tonight, she takes Athena’s head!
Athena, Thekla, Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.

But even then, Athena still doesn’t like crazy spider lady, still doesn’t like Ford, and is still bigger and badder than Megan. But tonight, it’s ATHENA Elite Wrestling! So let’s get it together, girls, so Athena can have her moment. And if they do, they can be her Minions. Ford keeps Megan from storming up on Athena, but can these war goddesses hold it together to be victorious?
AEW shares footage from after Grand Slam: Mexico.
Renee Paquette was with the NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion, Mercedes Mone, and says what a huge night. Another history making moment as she is now #SixBeltsMone! Mone says damn straight! Unfortunately, not everyone was in the mood for celebrating… Toni Storm rained on her parade a bit. Mone tells Toni, “You think you’re gonna play mind games with me? Well, I am the master of any game! So bring it! Tonight’s win was just a preview for what’s to come at All In: Texas. Toni, you call yourself ‘Timeless?’ Well, I’m iconic! I’m Six Belts Mone! The Conversation, the Blueprint, The C E O!”
And the Money Train is on a roll! Toni’s time is ticking, and it is almost up. See you in Texas, b*tch! Mone rolls on, but will she have lucky number seven? Or will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one prize she doesn’t get to have?
Swerve Strickland w/ Prince Nana VS Shane Taylor w/ Shane Taylor Promotions!
The Realest may have a house, but Big Bad Shaney T. Boy has an entire promotion! And while this is Swerve’s homecoming to Washington, will he have homefield advantage? Or will Shane show him how to rumble, bad man, rumble?
The bell rings and the two circle. Shane swings, Swerve dodges to waistlock, but then Swerve avoids the elbow. Shane stops the Eddy Gordo Rana, brings Swerve up to back suplex, but Swerve lands out. Shane blocks a boot, Swerve reels him in and sunset flips, but Shane stays up! Swerve avoids the fist drop to SHOVE Shane out of the ring! Swerve builds speed, but then just hits the Griddy! The fans cheer, STP is upset, and Bravo says he’s got money riding on this. Shane storms into the ring to circle with Swerve. Swerve bobs ‘n’ weaves to avoid the shots, but Shane stops the wrench. Shane blocks the whip, too, but then Swerve BOOTS him!
The fans cheer, Swerve eggs Shane on, and the two reset. They feel things out, Shane fires hands, and wait, Nana is gambling with the Infantry? Shane DECKS Swerve, his odds might’ve just gone up! Shane drags Swerve up on the apron and Bravo wants Tony Schiavone to get in on this? Shane lifts Swerve, Swerve fights free, and he slips under! The Infantry freaks out as Swerve pulls on Shane, but Shane grabs Swerve to SLAM him off the apron! Then he APRON SPLASHES! The fans boo while Swerve falls, and Shane claims it’s HIS house now! The fans boo more while Collision goes picture in picture.
The Infantry mockingly offer Swerve some money, but Shane drags Swerve up to HEADBUTT him! Shane puts Swerve in the ring, tells Nana he’s about to lose more money on this, and then goes into the ring. Shane clamps onto Swerve with a chinlock and he grinds Swerve down. Swerve endures and Nana rallies the fans. Swerve fights up, fires body shots, then he KNEES Shane low! Shane ROCKS Swerve with a left! Then SAIDOS! Swerve staggers over to ropes, Shane storms up on him, and Shane CHOKES Swerve by standing on him! The ref counts, Shane backs off, and Swerve goes to the corner. Shane storms up to Swerve again while Collision goes to break.
Collision returns, Shane has Swerve in a corner to talk trash, then he runs up, only for Swerve to dodge! Swerve then wraps Shane’s arm around ropes, CLUBS away on the shoulder, and runs side to side for a DROPKICK to the arm! The fans fire up and Swerve dropkicks the legs out! Swerve drops a KNEE on the arm, then runs to KNEE Shane down! Cover, TWO! Shane is tougher than that but Swerve stays focused. Nana says it’s over for STP now! Swerve KICKS the bad arm, and the fans cheer for “DEFY! DEFY!” Swerve runs up, Shane shoves him to the corner but Swerve comes back, only for Shane to HEADBUTT!
Shane URENAGES Swerve down, but that was the bad arm! Shane runs, SPLASHES DOWNÂ into an armbar! Swerve has Shane caught and he even HAMMERS Shane’s head! Shane endures, fights back up, and he powers out! Shane KNEES Swerve down! Cover, TWO! Swerve survives and Shane grows frustrated. Swerve goes to a corner, Shane says time to bet it all! Shane goes up the corner, the fans fire up, and Swerve ROCKS Shane first! Swerve throws more hands, then he goes up to get Shane for a SUPER DUPER BACK SUPLEX! The fans are thunderous and Swerve is feeling it! Shane flounders to the apron, but Swerve fires hands!
The fans rally, Swerve runs and returns, but into Shane’s grip! Swerve KICKS and KICKS and KICKS! Shane drapes over the ropes and Swerve BOOTS him! Swerve goes up, takes aim, APRON KILL STOMPS!! The fans are thunderous again and Swerve steps inside. But the Infantry gets all up in Nana’s face! Swerve FLIES out onto the Infantry! And then a HOUSE CALL for Shane!! Cover, Swerve wins!
Winner: Swerve Strickland, by pinfall
Swerve finally has his 50th singles win here in AEW, and Nana rakes in the dough! Having green is nice, but will Swerve find himself aimed at gold again?
Ladies and gentlemen, introducing… Timeless Toni Storm.
Seattle cheers as Toni Noir stands on stage. “Mercedes Mone…” The fans boo that name. “I am disappointed in you. Three weeks ago, you shook my hand and said we would have the biggest women’s match of all time. And since then, you have been eating steak, playing on your telephone, and trying to kiss me. And now, you are still in Mexico because you have won yet another title.” The fans boo that, too. “Is that all I am to you? Is that all this is to you? Another trophy for your shelf? Another toy for your collection? Now, I want to say this as nicely as possible. Mercedes, I am not some other mother-effer.
“I am TIMELESS Toni Storm! I am the AEW Women’s World Champion! And if you make one false move, I am going to eat you alive!” The fans cheer that! “I demand your best, Mercedes, because that is what you are. One day, my reign will be over.” The fans don’t like the sound of that, but Toni says there is no one more deserving than Mone. “The day I met you, I knew what you were destined to be. You were the first woman to wrestle at Madison Square Garden, the Tokyo Dome, Wembley Stadium AND Arena Mexico… But I was the last woman to wrestle at the Wodonga Sports & Leisure Center before it got closed down for a cockroach infestation.”
The fans cheer that last part, and Toni says she sincerely believes that Mone is the greatest of all time. Toni is not, nor was she ever meant to be. For she is a “manic, neurotic, erotic, sexually questionable, consistently sweating, bottom heavy, transatlantic whore!” The fans still cheer for her, and Toni says when this belt is upon her bosom, she makes magic happen! So unless Mone plans on pulling a rabbit out of her ass, Toni highly doubts Mone can say the same! At All In, in front of the entire world, and all those little girls watching at home, Mone will look Toni in the eye, and she will realize that Toni only has to beat Mone while Mone will have to KILL Toni!
The fans cheer Toni as the spotlight fades out to black. Will All In: Texas be yet another instant classic in Toni’s already timeless career?
Mixed Six Tag: Holo.grm, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale VS #MXMTV!
Undefeated at 25-0 and now 4 million Pesos richer, the futuristic luchador now conglomerates with the Sussex County Chicken and the Babe with the Power! But will this change in the line up keep things fresh against Mansoor, Mason Madden y Taya Valkyrie? Or will MXM TV serve Hologram his first taste of bitter defeat?
The trios sort out and it is ladies first as Willow circles with Taya. They tie up, Taya waistlocks and shoves, then she soaks up the heat while she struts. Willow kicks Taya in the butt!

Taya dodges, stomps away, but the ref counts. Taya stops at 4, whips corner to corner, but Willow cartwheels! Willow comes back to CLOBBER Taya, then she runs to SPLASH! Cover, ONE! Willow tags Hologram and Taya tags Mason! Hologram and Mason tie up, and Mason THROWS Hologram!
The fans boo but MXM celebrates like they did something. Mason swings on Briscoe & Willow but they both get clear. The fans boo Mason but Hologram DROPKICKS Mason!

Mason drags Hologram up, puts him back in the ring, and Johnny TV taunts Briscoe & Willow. Mason drags Hologram back out so he can CLUB him down. The ref reprimands, Mason drags Hologram back up and SMACKS him off the apron. And then throws him into railing! Taya soaks up the heat while she vogues, and Mason refreshes the ring count. That just lets Mr. & Mrs. TV stomp away on Hologram! They stop as Mason goes back out to fetch Hologram. Willow & Briscoe back the rest of them off while Hologram is in the ring. Mansoor tags in, he whips for Mason to scoop, and they CAT WALK LEG DROP! Cover, TWO!
Mansoor keeps Hologram down with a Camel Clutch, but Hologram endures. Mansoor stomps away on Hologram into the corner, but stops as the ref counts. Mason gets a cheap shot in while Mansoor argues with the ref! Johnny does, too! Mansoor drags Hologram to an ELBOW DROP, then covers, TWO! Mansoor drags Hologram over, tags Mason, and Mansoor holds Hologram down for Mason to ELBOW DROP! Cover, TWO! Mason drags Hologram back up, throat chops him, then tags Taya. Taya mugs Hologram with Mansoor’s help, then tags Mansoor. The ref reprimand but Mansoor stomps Hologram around.
Collision returns to single picture and Mason tags in. Mason sets up at the ropes, and Mansoor CATAPULTS Hologram into the hips! The Mahogany Hunk poses, Johnny joins in, but the fans boo.

Winners: Hologram, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
New amigos but still undefeated, Hologram is feeling what it’s like to conglomerate! Will nothing stop them from building momentum towards title opportunities?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with The Galaxy’s Greatest and brings up the big win for Willow’s team. Kris asks if they’re really doing this. Every single week! Yes, everyone loves Willow. But when is Kris going to get a chance? In the All-Star 8 Woman Tag? Uh, uh, didn’t think so. So if you think she’s going to stand here and talk about how important everyone else is, you’re dead wrong! But then Yuta walks over and says he hates to say he told her so… Kris tells Yuta to shut his grimy little mouth! She knows who he is and what this is! If he thinks she wants any part of this, get out of her face! Yuta tries to talk her down but Kris SHOVES him down! And then Moxley steps in.
Moxley picks up Kris’ phone for her, but tells her to never, ever, let anyone else tell you who you are or what you’re worth. Moxley hands Kris her phone, and Kris is rather shaken. But did Moxley just encourage someone? And will Kris Statlander follow his advice to go out and take what she deserves?
Tony Schiavone is in the ring.
Schiavone asks Seattle to please welcome… Don Callis. The fans boo as The Jackal walks out here, accompanied by Josh Alexander & Lance Archer. They join Schiavone in the ring and Callis stops Schiavone already. He has a very special announcement! He would like to introduce to us the greatest wrestler in the history of Japan! Better than Rikidozan, than Inoki, than Muta, than Tanahashi… the NEWEST member of the Don Callis Family, the Rainmaker, Kazuchika Okada! The fans boo even more as the Continental Champion makes his way out to the ring. Okada shakes hands with Callis, and Callis interrupts Schiavone again.
Callis says that he and Okada would like to show everyone some very special footage. Roll the tape! The tape is of course the last time we saw these two, and the horrible trap they had set for Kenny Omega. Schiavone says that was one of the most despicable things in wrestling history! Callis says you can almost smell the diverticulitis coming outta Omega’s mouth! Schiavone says how dare Callis laugh at someone coughing up blood! What is wrong with him!? Callis says he is sick and tired of Schiavone coming out here and talking bad about him and Okada and the Callis Family, “like the sleezy feline that you are!”
But Callis and his family are here to talk about Kenny Omega! “Kenny, how does it feel to know that your greatest opponent, Okada, and the man who knows all your weaknesses, Don Callis, have teamed up against you?! I know, Kenny, you’re laying in a hospital bed right now…” The fans tell Callis to STFU but Callis just talks louder. Omega surely has tubes coming outta his guts, with a colostomy bag hanging out the side! Omega won’t even make it to All In! But IF Omega does make it there, and wrestles the greatest wrestler in the history of Japan, then Omega needs to know that he will truly be alone.
Omega destroyed his friendship with the Young Bucks, with Callis, and is alone in this world with not even one friend left! But then out steps Mark Briscoe! The fans cheer as The Chicken tells Callis, “My Lord, would you PLEASE shut the hell up!? You sound stupid, you weird lookin’ bastard! You say Kenny has no friends? Well sheesh, I’ll be damned, I’m his friend! But y’know what? I’m not his only friend.” Because KOTA IBUSHI IS HERE! The fans go nuts seeing the Golden Star return to AEW! Archer rushes them, but Briscoe attacks first! That lets Ibushi strut right up to the Walking Weapon in the ring!
The fans fire up as Ibushi dodges Alexander, then fires off a strike fest! Alexander ducks a kick, Ibushi ducks the rolling elbow, and Ibushi ROUNDHOUSES Alexander down! The fans fire up while Callis freaks out, but now Ibushi and Okada are alone in the ring. The fans go nuts already as Golden Star and Rainmaker stare down. Okada fires a forearm, but Ibushi fires back! Okada UPPERCUTS, but Ibushi fires off a strike fest! SOBAT and ROUNDHOUSE! Okada falls and he scurries out of the ring! Callis is there, and he gets his new moneymaker outta there! Will Ibushi make sure Omega gets a fair shake in Texas?
Collision returns to a brawl!
Apparently, the Workhorsemen got into it with Big Bill & Bryan Keith in the back, and now it has spilled out to ringside! JD Drake & Anthony Henry have the advantage as they use chairs on the Redwood & Bad Apple! Henry sits Keith in a corner of the railing, then runs around the way! But Bill BOOTS him down! The fans are fired up, but then Drake CLUBS Bill! But Keith SMACKS Drake with a chair! Keith shouts for Bill to get ’em! Bill stands Drake up, SMACKS him off steel steps, then Keith SMACKS Drake off steps! And repeat! Keith stomps Henry, SMACKS Drake off steps, and then Bill SMACKS Drake off steps!
Henry shields Drake but that just gets him a CLUBBING forearm! Keith sets chairs up together, Bill SMACKS Henry off steps, and Keith has Bill haul Henry up. Bill gives Henry a SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAMÂ onto the chairs!! Henry falls in a heap with all that steel, and Bill wants a mic! Wait, now Christian Cage wants to be out here? The fans are fired up either way as Captain Charisma leads The Patriarchy out here. “Seattle… Sit down and shut your mouths while I conduct my business!” The fans boo instead. Christian says they know it and he knows it. The only good things to ever come outta Washington are Mother Shayna and Nick Wayne! So again, show some damn respect!
The fans boo more, and Christian tells Bill & Keith that Christian likes a good backstage brawl as much as the next guy. But when it spills out to ringside and takes away from his air time, then he has a problem. Especially when he was coming out here to make a huge announcement. But hey, maybe they should stand there and listen with the rest of these “sweat hogs,” because this is a pretty damn good announcement. Now, it is no secret that these past couple months, his son, Nick Wayne, has been wrestling at a godlike pace! The fans cheer for Nick, but Christian tells them to shut their mouths while he’s talking!
But believe him when he tells you, that has everything to do with Christian’s guidance. Yet, there are still those who have the audacity to mistake friction for building toughness. But the proof speaks for itself! Nick stands here as the youngest champion this company has ever seen! So why stop there? Why not keep going? Why not make more history? Time for Christian’s son to walk beside him instead of behind him! Time he and Nick embark on a journey that takes them to the top! That sees them become the first-ever father-and-son AEW World Tag Team Champions! The fans are torn on that, but Nick smiles as Christian pats him on the shoulder.
Bill says, “Sorry, did you say that that is your son? Maybe your adopted son. Because if all the things that I’ve heard about Mama Wayne are true… That kid’s real father could be literally anybody. It could be that guy right there! Or what about that guy right there? Oh, oh, wait a second, dead ringer! Dead ringer! Oh my God, that could be your father right there! There he is!” The fans cheer but Bill says if they don’t like what he is saying, then how about Christian come down to the ring to do this right here. Christian says first of all, there is nothing of the sort happening here in Seattle. The fans boo and he asks if they wanna see it.
Well, here’s a question, Big Bill. Is that you talking or is that the bottle talking? Did he fall off the wagon this weekend? Go on a bit of a bender? Maybe he fried too many braincells because he clearly doesn’t know who he’s talking to. Bill doesn’t call the shots, Christian does! He is the Patriarch and this is his Patriarchy! He IS the Face of TNT now and forever! The fans boo but The Patriarchy steps away. Will Bill & Keith take them down all the same?
AEW shares footage from after Summer Blockbuster.
Anthony Bowens was in a bad mood but Billy Gunn wanted to talk things out. Lexy Nair caught up with them first and Billy has “Brittney Spears” hold on. In Lexy’s defense, that outfit really is classic Brittney. But anyway, Daddy Ass tells Bowens it will be a struggle. Bowens says Billy is supposed to be helping him get better. Does he want Bowens to end up like Max Caster? Billy says he got hit in the face by Lance Archer! Well, that’s not on Bowens. They need to get their act together, because Bowens is the Pride of Pro-Wrestling, he needs to climb the ladder in AEW, and he needs to win. Billy says he knows that. What can Daddy Ass do to help Bowens finally hit some homeruns?
Ricochet is here!
The One & Only still wants to assemble a dream team that can help him achieve his dreams, but he rejected Blake Christian & Lee Johnson, the only guys who actually came to see him about it. Is he thinking of recruiting someone from this next match?
JetSpeed VS The Gates of Agony!
Kevin Knight & Mike Bailey have been plotting their own course to titles, namely the AEW World Tag Team Championships. They need to prove themselves to the Hurt Syndicate, can they do that here in Seattle? Or will Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona slam the gates shut on those flight plans?
The bell rings and Speedball starts against Kaun. The fans rally, Kaun rushes up but Bailey dodges. Bailey headlocks, Kaun powers up and out and he RUNS Bailey over! Bailey kips up, then dodges Kaun and hurdles over. Bailey drops down, DROPKICKS Kaun, but Liona tags in and CLOBBERS Bailey! Ricochet vents about losing out on the 4 million Pesos, he blames Lio Rush, and he crosses off CRU as candidates for his crew. Liona TOSSES Bailey to a corner, fires fast hands, but the ref counts. Liona steps on Bailey, steps off, and then drags Bailey up. Tag to Kaun and the Gates double whip. They DOUBLE HIP TOSS, but Bailey lands through!
Bailey dodges lariats and hot tags Knight! The fans fire up as Knight springboards to FLYING ARM-DRAG Kaun! Liona runs up, Knight dodges, but Liona blocks the arm-drag! Liona YANKS Knight up but Knight DROPKICKS Liona out! The fans fire up with Knight, and he scoops Kaun to SLAM! But Liona grabs Knight by his hair!

Kaun then brings KNight all the way around to send into the LED barriers!
The fans boo but Ricochet applauds. Bailey aims at Kaun and PLANCHAS, but Liona BLASTS Bailey outta the air! Ricochet likes that even more! He applauds, Liona pats Ricochet on the shoulder, and the Gates go back to the ring while Collision goes picture in picture.

We heard from both sides of this all-star main event, but now it is time to back up those words. Will La Mera Mera, the Queen, the Blackbelt and the Star of the Show prove theirs is the winning combination? Or will the Fallen Goddess, the Minion Overlord, the American Joshi, the ROH Gatekeeper, the FOREVER ROH Women’s World Champion (all Athena’s nicknames) lead her team to victory?
The teams stare down, and then Athena throws the first punch! She brawls with Rosa, Thekla attacks Anna and Megan has Tay, leaving Aminata to stare down with Ford. The bell rings, Aminata and Ford start pushing, and then they start throwing forearms! Ford gets the edge, whips, but Aminata reverses. Ford wheelbarrows, victory rolls, but Aminata rolls through.

The Chef says, “You’re welcome.” The ROH Women’s World Television Champion is going to team with the ROH Women’s World Champion for ROH Global Wars: Mexico, was this just an appetizer for how that’s going to go? Will this win help Thekla, Megan & Ford also find their way to some golden opportunities?
My Thoughts:
A great Collision here, especially as a follow-up to Grand Slam: Mexico while also helping build Global Wars: Mexico. The All-Star 8 Woman was a great main event, but it sure got the short end of the stick when it came to time. I’m not sure if something went long, but it also feels like AEW relies too much on TNT giving them overrun. Red Velvet helping Athena win was a nice touch, given their tag match against Rosa and Persephone. That match happened in reality already but they gotta keep the kayfabe alive. Though, that’s going to be a busy Thursday with Collision being pushed off Saturday, again.
Great promos to hype up the All-Star 8 Man, and that was a great match, too. The Heels winning makes sense there, too, as Kyle needs momentum before he challenges Cole again, and it adds more heat onto FTR. The Outrunners going after FTR was a nice touch, because A) they’re amigos with Bandido and B) they were friends with FTR like Garcia, so now it is The Outrunners’ turn to settle things with Dax & Cash. Bill & Keith have a good brawl with the Workhorsemen, but I’m a little surprised that’s all we got from them before bringing out The Patriarchy. I almost thought Christian Cage was going to name Kip as his tag partner, but I feel like he wants it to be Nick so he can keep Nick close, and possibly leave him hanging at some point.
Great opening match from Moxley with Fox, but of course Moxley wins and then sends a message to Hangman. And it is definitely a case of “Mox Fears Hangman” for him to talk all tough when he knows Hangman isn’t in Seattle yet. Great match from Swerve VS Shane, especially with all the shenanigans going on ringside. Great win for Swerve, and I guess technically Nana, too. Very good promo from Bowens and Billy to show there is some tension between them now. It is mostly Bowens’ frustrations making him lash out, but I wonder if Bowens starts to distance himself from Billy to truly be a solo act now.
Great to see Ibushi back in AEW, and great tease of Ibushi VS Okada. I suspect Briscoe and Ibushi will team up against Alexander & Archer, and that can help lead to Omega’s return from the “devastating” attack to have some final math on the Omega VS Okada dream rematch. And if Ibushi sticks around, that brings in some intrigue on whether or not we get Golden Lovers back together. I could see either story happening, where Golden Lovers go for a Two Man Power Trip kind of run, getting gold together. But I could also see them being friendly rivals, competing over the same title(s), especially with the “Unified Championship” bringing Continental and International Championship “divisions” together.
Good promo from Mone and a great promo from Toni to hype up their match, but we’ve still got time before there’s any real go-home math. But I said it before so I’ll say it again: It’s called “All In,” so whatever belts Mone has by All In, Mone should go ALL IN with her belts against Toni. Now obviously Mone has no reason to, and Heels never want to “put up or shut up,” but if Toni goads her into putting her money where her mouth is, maybe Mone does it out of anger. And honestly, if Toni wins at All In, wouldn’t she then be owed a match for any number of Mone’s titles anyway? AEW makes good use of the rule that pinning a champ earns a title match, so just cut to the chase.
Very fun Mixed Six with Hologram joining Briscoe & Willow as perhaps the newest member of Conglomeration. But at some point, Hologram needs to win a title or his streak means nothing. Good promo from Kris after that match and how she shoved Yuta. Kris being afraid of Moxley at first was a nice touch, since we’ve seen Mox makes no qualms about hitting a woman wrestler (namely Willow) with a cutter. But then Moxley actually adds to Yuta’s recruitment attempts by being nice to Kris. It makes me wonder if Kris becomes a Death Rider, and maybe the Women’s Division becomes the group’s next phase. Honestly, if not for Mone collecting belts and what not, Marina should’ve gotten a title shot herself by now.
And a great tag match of JetSpeed VS Gates of Agony. I guess with nothing else for them, the Gates defaulted back to being Heels. Ricochet was good on commentary, and as I figured, his story of finding faction members is failing because his standards are too high and he as a personality is too sensitive to put grudges aside. CRU was the right choice to me but then he said no thanks cuz of that Pesos match. As for JetSpeed, they will certainly get that tag title match with Hurt Syndicate, but I feel like MJF will be why the Hurt Syndicate retains.
My Score: 8.8/10

Shota stands Hartley up, he and Goto double whip, but Hartley breaks the lariats! Shota sends Hartley into Goto’s FOREARM! Shota ENZIGIRIS! Goto hits URA GTR, and Shota adds a LARIAT!! The fans fire up and Oleg has Hartley up! Fireman’s carry for the KAMIKAZE!! Cover, Hontai wins!
Winners: Hirooki Goto, Boltin Oleg & Shota Umino, by pinfall
The Mighty Don’t Kneel, but they can still fall! Oleg brings down big bad Hartley, can TMDK rise back up before the G1 begins?
As for Hontai, Oleg scored the fall so he gets to speak! Oleg says good evening to Yamagata and the fans cheer. Oleg knows he only just became NEVER Champion, but he promises to work even harder and become an even greater wrestler, so please continue to support him. The fans applaud, and then Oleg asks who wants to speak next. Goto lets Shota go next, and the fans cheer Shota on. Shota thanks the fans for the great energy all the way through the show tonight, then he takes a bow. The fans applaud, and Shota adds that Yamagata is both hot and amazing. This New Japan Soul series is important, but so is the upcoming G1 Climax.
Goto is going to defend the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship against ZSJ in Nagoya before the tournament begins, and regardless of who wins that, Shota vows to win the G1 and challenge the champion. Shota tells Goto that he hopes to face him again with the title on the line. The fans applaud and Goto nods. Shota says naturally, the IWGP World Heavyweight Champion will now close us out. The fans applaud again and Goto is handed the mic. The fans cheer Goto on, and he also thanks everyone for coming out tonight. Goto knows it took a long time, but he is proud to finally return to Yamagata as world champion.
The fans cheer, and Goto adds that he wants to make it through his next defense to then take this title into the G1. The Goto Revolution is far from over! Be sure to follow him until the end! The fans cheer that, and Goto says that lastly, he of course wishes to talk about Goto’s G. The fans applaud, and Goto realizes, there’s a G in Yamagata, too. So then, the G in Yamagata and IWGP stand for Goto! The fans cheer and the Fierce Warrior is ready! Will he thwart ZSJ’s efforts in one more rematch? Will he make the G in G1 also stand for Goto?
My Thoughts:
A very good night for NJPW as part of their New Japan Soul series. While I skimmed the other matches, I do like how Sho is wearing a mask like he’s a luchador now and it isn’t obvious it’s just him. The House of Torture wins their matches to keep momentum going, and the other matches were about building towards the G1 Climax qualifiers. Tanahashi VS Honma was good, and I like that the fans cheered Honma. Truth be told, we know Tanahashi is going to win most of these Final Road matches, so that is probably why the fans hope for the opponents to do well. And with the G1 coming up, maybe Tanahashi gets one last good run to try for the finals.
Very good Six Man Tag main event, but it works for Hontai to win. Goto is the top champion, Oleg just became a champion, and NJPW wants Shota to build up given he’s one of the Reiwa Musketeers. Goto VS ZSJ will be a very good match but I feel like Goto’s going to win to bring the title along and add drama to his G1. ZSJ can still have his own great showing in the G1 and maybe makes a case for himself to be the winner again.
My Score: 8.8/10
