PLAY BY PLAY

Sasha Banks and Bayley open tonight’s SmackDown!

The Legit Boss and the Role Model are going to be in a now Fatal 5 Way Elimination Match for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Paige made the announcement for this match last week, but as a Six Pack Challenge. Sadly, Dana Brooke must bow out because she is quarantined. But Bayley and Sasha know they have just a week left before the special WrestleMania that is “too big for one night.” A two-night WrestleMania and the best of the best will be on the Grandest Stage of Them All. Lives can change and dreams can come true, but this year is a nightmare! “Sad, irrelevant, pathetic Paige” is jealous of the year Bayley has had, and is forcing these two best friends into the same match! How is that fair? It’s not.

Paige thinks she’s so slick for putting them in the same match. That plan will backfire! They’re best friends that are better together like peanut butter and jelly. But before Sasha can respond to Bayley, Lacey Evans appears! The Sassy Southern Belle is also in the Fatal 5 and she joins these two in the ring now. “Bayley, your mouth is about as big as my hat is.” And she can’t seem to keep it shut. Sasha can barely get a word in. Bayley has a word for Lacey: LOSER! Sasha says Lacey should go preach to her bratty little kid. Unless she’s ashamed of mommy always losing. Hah, good one. But Lacey says Mania will be a nightmare. Sasha won’t be able to say anything about Lacey’s daughter with a broken jaw from The Woman’s Right. And Bayley will finally learn the lesson in respect she’s needed.

But wait! Here comes Naomi! The Glow gets another shot after that Super Showdown controversy. Naomi does agree with Lacey about handling these two. Bayley knows what she did at Super Showdown, and that’s some unfinished business. And while Sasha is glaring at Naomi all stank, Naoim will snatch her bald to become the three-time champion! The Glow will shine in the spotlight again! Bayley is not about to have another night of constant interruptions and people saying their piece. But wait! Here comes Tamina! The Daughter of Superfly makes a huge return with this golden opportunity, but she does have something to say tonight. “Actions speak louder than words.” And so she HEADBUTTS Naomi and SUPERKICKS Lacey!

Bayley and Sasha sneak past Tamina to go after Naomi, but they mistake that for being on Tamina’s side. They back up into her, and Tamina glares at the two “locker room leaders.” Bayley and Sasha bail with the belt, but are they cowering in fear from the future SmackDown Women’s Champion?

 

Drew Gulak w/ Daniel Bryan VS Shinsuke Nakamura w/ The Artist Collective!

Sami Zayn claims the Philly Stretcher is a “nobody” that is holding The Goat back. But the bet was made that if Gulak can beat the King of Strong Style, then the WWE Intercontinental Championship will be on the line! Can Gulak get a huge win to send Bryan to WrestleMania?

The bell rings and Sami joins Michael Cole on commentary. Gulak and Nakamura stare down as Bryan rallies up. The two feel out the grapple and Nakamura throws in knees. Nakamura facelocks and brings Gulak down for knees tot he shoulders and head! Nakamura drops a knee then digs his boot into Gulak for a standing Bad Vibrations! Gulak gets away but Nakamura pushes him in a corner. Nakamura stomps and whips Gulak corner to corner. But Gulak comes back with a shotgun dropkick! Bryan is fired up as Gulak throws haymakers on Nakamura at the ropes. Gulak stomps Nakamura over and over and Sami protests. The ref pulls Gulak off and Cesaro gets Nakamura out of the ring. The ref reprimands Cesaro but keeps Gulak back.

Gulak goes out to fetch Nakamura but Nakamura sweeps the legs! Nakamura brings Gulak to the announce desk to throw kicks! Sami cheers Nakamura as he puts Gulak in the ring. Sami praises Nakamura  but Gulak gets Nakamura’s leg! Dragon screw in the ropes! Gulak gives Nakamura another! Nakamura crawls to a corner but Gulak stomps the leg. Cesaro protests and the ref counts, but Gulak backs off. Sami is upset but Nakamura dodges to roundhouse Gulak back! Nakamura hops up, flying knee! Cover, TWO! Bryan coaches and rallies for Gulak as Nakamura brings Gulak up. Nakamura has a facelock and squeezes tight. Gulak pries the hold apart but Nakamura thrusts in another knee! Nakamura turns Gulak around for another facelock but Gulak throws body shots.

Nakamura fires off a strike fest to ROCK Gulak back! Then he gives Gulak a gourd buster! The jacket unzips and Nakamura aims from the corner, but Bryan saves Gulak! Gulak rolls Nakamura up to a prawn hold, GULAK WINS!!

Winner: Drew Gulak, by pinfall (Daniel Bryan WILL challenge Sami Zayn for the WWE Intercontinental Championship)

Sami is furious but that’s because his team got a taste of their own medicine. Now Sami has to put up or shut up against Bryan during WrestleMania Weekend! Will Sami be the one to learn a lesson in just over a week?

 

SmackDown returns to Dolph Ziggler backstage.

The Show-Off talks with someone about Otis’s rampage last week. Ziggler says it was “pathetic,” but deserved. Wait, more glitching. But Ziggler says Otis creeping all over Mandy Rose is so sad. Wait, here comes Otis AND Tucker! Heavy Machinery is ready to run Ziggler over, but referees and security rush to stop them! Ziggler taunts Otis that he has some more pictures Otis can see, so long as he’s over 18! Otis calls Ziggler a dirt bag, and wants just one shot at him. Ziggler says they can end “all this crap” with the world watching. Ziggler will have his girl, Mandy, in his corner… at WrestleMania! Otis accepts! The rage is still raging, but will it all come to an end when Otis and Ziggler finally have it out 1v1?

 

Ladies and gentlemen: Elias.

The Drifter is in Full Sail’s perch and speaks on Gronk giving him a match with Baron Corbin. Before that night, Elias has a new song dedicated to the Wolf King, “Kingdom of Fools.” Clap along and don’t worry about neighbors, because they’ll be clapping to. Without further ado, Elias starts playing and sings his new hit.

“WrestleMania~. It’s too big for one night~. After I destroy Corbin, he’s gonna see the light. At WrestleMania, the chances of Corbin winning are narrow. So bring your medieval costume and a bow ‘n’ arrow.” There’s a quick Photoshop of Corbin with an arrow through his head like a jester. “I stocked up on toilet paper in these times of distress~. And I stamped your face on every roll, I must confess.” Baron Corbin the toilet paper! “That may seem harsh, but it’s the least of what you deserved. Your throne’s a toilet, and Corbin, you are a turd~!” Yes, Corbin’s a turd. Elias thanks the “capacity crowd” but then Corbin attacks!

Corbin stomps Elias on the newly repaired perch (NXT fans know about that) and shouts, “You want to embarrass me, huh?!” Corbin has his scepter and dares Elias to stand. Elias does, and Corbin SMASHES him with said scepter! Elias dangles on the edge, and Corbin boots one hand off. The Drifter wobbles but regains his grip, so Corbin boots the other hand! Elias holds on as best he can, but Corbin SMASHES him in the head!! Elias hits the floor with a thud and referees hurry over. Has the Wolf King just cancelled his Mania match with Elias?

 

Alexa Bliss w/ Nikki Cross VS Asuka!

The Goddess called out the Kabuki Warriors as “hiding” on Raw with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. But Asuka responded with a sneak attack to cost Bliss-Cross a match. Now the ball is in Alexa’s court. Will she score a win to get her and Nikki back on track towards the tag titles? Or will the Empress ensure she and the Pirate Princess get to take WrestleMania Weekend off?

Nikki joins Michael Cole on commentary and gives him a huge hug, not worried about social distancing. The bell rings and Asuka laughs already. Alexa is thrown off by that but Nikki is just too excited. Asuka swipes but Alexa gets clear and gives a big smile. Asuka mocks that smile, then laughs more. The two circle, Asuka rushes Alexa but Alexa gets her for a waistlock. Asuka pries free but Alexa throws a forearm, which only infuriates Asuka. Alexa throws more forearms but Asuka fires up more. Alexa runs but dodges Asuka as she follows, and dropkicks her down! Cover, TWO! Nikki is excitedly punching her own hand, showing how she and Alexa are gonna do that to the Kabuki Warriors.

Alexa headlocks Asuka but Asuka pulls Alexa’s hair to power out. Asuka runs Alexa over with a shoulder then mocks Nikki with a dance. Nikki cheers Alexa but Asuka brings her up. Alexa reverses the whip but Asuka goes up and over. Alexa ROCKS Asuka with aright, then mocks Asuka back. Asuka is upset again and talks trash in Japanese. Alexa parrots Asuka’s words, then KICKS her in the arm! That’s the bad arm Shayna Baszler hurt in the Elimination Chamber. Alexa runs but Asuka catches the dropkick to then drag Alexa out! Asuka throws Alexa HARD into steel steps, arm first! The Empress and Goddess are even now as SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns and Asuka has Alexa down in an armlock. Alexa endures and Nikki rallies for her. Nikki gets Cole to chant “Lexi! Lexi!” Alexa fights up but Asuka kicks her legs out! Asuka fires off fast hands and a mule kick! Alexa ends up on the apron and Asuka runs, but the hip attack misses! Alexa kicks Asuka back down and Nikki is fired up enough for the whole arena! Asuka joins Alexa on the apron and they start brawling. They go forearm for forearm but Asuka back kicks again. Asuka grins as she prepares, but Alexa wrings her arm out onto the apron! Alexa and Asuka both clutch their arms as Alexa gets back in the ring. Cover, TWO!! With no arms, that was bound to happen.

Asuka fires up and drags Alexa up but Alexa YANKS the bad arm. This only angers Asuka more but she runs right into Alexa’s kick! Alexa baits Asuka into a corner and sends her into buckles! Nikki shouts, “That’s what you get!” Asuka gets up but Alexa rallies with rights! And a basement dropkick! Alexa grits her teeth as she drops knees, Insult 2- No! Asuka mores and Alexa knees the mat. Asuka bails out bu both women are clutching arms. Alexa pursues but Asuka gets to the apron. Alexa trips Asuka up and then rams her into the LED! She puts Asuka in then covers, TWO!! Asuka still lives but Alexa tries again, TWO! Nikki is upset and pesters Cole about it.

Alexa drags Asuka up and works out the bad arm. But Asuka spins her, and chicken wings that arm! Alexa resists the lock and rams Asuka into buckles! Alexa snapmares but Asuka rolls with her, only to get a DDT! Cover, Alexa wins!!

Winner: Alexa Bliss, by pinfall

Nikki explodes with excitement! She hugs Cole, then she hurries in to hug Alexa! Is this Bliss-Cross getting one step closer to the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships?

 

SmackDown hears from The Usos.

“It wouldn’t be the Road to WrestleMania if The Usos and the New Day didn’t battle it out at least one more time.” Two big teams, huge stakes! The winners go after the SmackDown Tag Team Champions! #UsoCrazy with the #Lockdown! Beef or truce, the Uce got the juice! Another pair of seven-time champs are coming! Will WrestleMania be put in the Uso Penitentiary?

 

From WrestleMania 32 – WWE World Championship: Triple H w/ Stephanie McMahon VS Roman Reigns!

As The Big Dog prepares for his WWE Universal Championship match with Goldberg, SmackDown relives when he and The Game went toe-to-toe in Texas for a different world title!

Stephanie McMahon gives the King of Kings an epic introduction for his entrance, while fans greet Roman with mixed emotions. The fireworks fly, the official introductions are made, the belt is raised, and this battle a long time coming finally begins!

Roman and HHH circle as fans rally and duel. They tie up, HHH headlocks and gets the takeover. HHH grinds Roman down but Roman gets up, so HHH goes around to hammerlock. HHH slaps Roman around to the liking of the crowd but Roman powers out and runs HHH over. Fans don’t like that, but things speed up. HHH goes to hip toss but Roman blocks. Roman goes to hip toss but HHH blocks, knees low and hip tosses Roman up and out of the ring! Fans cheer as Roman hits the floor but boo as he gets right up. HHH taunts Roman by holding the ropes open. Roman brushes that off and takes his time returning to the ring. Fans taunt Roman with “Roman Sucks!” as he gets back in.

Roman and HHH stare down and circle again. They tie up, HHH grabs the arm and wrenches to a wristlock. HHH yanks on the arm then wrenches again, to a shoulder breaker. HHH goes again but Roman ROCKS him with a right! Fans boo as HHH staggers to the corner. Roman mocks HHH and DX with a “SUCK IT!” chop! HHH can’t believe the audacity, but SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns as Roman is stuck on the top rope. HHH climbs up a corner and LEAPS, but into an UPPERCUT! Fans boo as Roman catches his breath and HHH crawls to the far side. HHH runs back over but into a back elbow. Roman BOOTS HHH down! Fans boo as HHH goes to another corner. Roman runs in for the corner clothesline! HHH staggers but BOOTS Roman back! HHH runs but into a SAMOAN DROP! Cover, TWO! Steph glares as she coaches HHH up. HHH slowly gets up and fans rally as he goes to a corner. Roman locks ‘n’ loads and takes aim. Roman runs, but HHH bails out to avoid the Superman Punch. But Roman goes out the side and goes around the way, to LEAP off the steel steps! A LEAPING LARIAT takes HHH down!

Some fans of Roman’s cheer as he drags HHH up to throw into steel steps! Roman brings HHH back up to throw into the other steel steps. Steph shouts for HHH as he crawls around the corner. Roman brings HHH up into the ring but HHH bails out the side. Roman goes out but HHH throws him into steps now! HHH drags Roman up to throw over the announce desk! Steph checks on HHH as he staggers away. But Roman comes and SPEARS HHH through the barriers!! Fans lose their minds as SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns again as Roman and HHH are back in the ring. Roman gets up in the corner and lets out the battle cry. He runs at HHH but HHH kicks him back! HHH underhooks but Roman back drops HHH out of the ring! Roman catches his breath while Steph checks on HHH. Roman sees them go around the way, and builds speed, but HHH ROCKS him first! HHH gets in but Roman SPEARS! Cover, but Steph drags the ref out! The ref reprimands her then gets back in to count, TWO! HHH survives thanks to his queen! Steph gets mad at the ref now and she gets in the ring. They argue but the ref tries to reason with her that the match is still happening. HHH slowly stands up, Roman runs in, and SPEARS Steph!!

Fans lose their minds as HHH kicks Roman, and hits the PEDIGREE!! Cover, TWO!?! Roman survives and no one can believe it! HHH and Roman stir while Steph flops out of the ring. Fans rally up as HHH drags Roman up by his hair. HHH throws a haymaker, Roman uppercuts! HHH kicks low then runs, to knee smash! Roman staggers, rebounds and SUPERMAN PUNCHES! Fans boo Roman as he rises up again. HHH slowly gets to the opposite corner but Roman fires himself up. Roman runs but into a KNEE! Both men are down again, HHH crawls to a cover, TWO! HHH crawls and sees Steph down on the ground. He waves to her, and she brings out the trusted sledgehammer! HHH slowly stands but the ref tells him not to. HHH shoves the ref but Roman SUPERMAN PUNCHES!

Roman runs at HHH for ANOTHER SUPERMAN PUNCH! He lets out the battle cry, builds up speed, ducks the hammer to SPEAR!! Cover, Roman wins!!

Winner: Roman Reigns, by pinfall (NEW WWE World Heavyweight Champion)

The Roman Empire dethrones the King of Kings!

The Big Dog established his reign in 2016, but will he do it again in the New Decade?

 

HHH is on SmackDown!

The Game is one of the few to compete against both Roman Reigns and Goldberg in his career. What is his prediction for that match come WrestleMania? HHH knows after being in the ring with both men, both men have the intensity needed to reach the top of this industry. But the biggest difference, Roman’s intensity builds while Goldberg’s intensity is all at once. Goldberg’s intensity is unparalleled, but it lasts for a brief period of time. Roman’s intensity builds and builds as the match goes on. Roman feeds off what his opponent gives him. If Goldberg can end it quick, he has it. But if Roman can withstand the initial onslaught, HHH puts his money on The Big Dog. Who’s your money on for the WWE Universal Championship?

 

SmackDown hears from The New Day.

“Greetings and salutations. It’s ya bois, the NEW~ DAY~!” Tonight is very special because it could send them to WrestleMania. But they need to get through a team they’ve faced many times before. But whenever they and their bois, the Usos, meet, it’s a battle for the ages! And by “boys,” they really mean “sons.” Big E is reminded of what his pappy used to say. “Son, this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you.” The New Day will be pained to do this to the Usos, but their daddies need to become EIGHT TIME W, W, E, Tag, Team, CHAMPIONS~! Becaaaause~, New. Day Rocks. Who gets the beatin’ before a team gets to meetin’ Miz and Morrison at Mania?

 

SmackDown returns to Ziggler meeting up with Fire & Desire.

Sonya Deville lets Mandy have a private conversation with Ziggler. Mandy doesn’t want him doing this to Otis. The Otis that stood her up? Well okay, but did Ziggler have to rub it in? No, that is too much, and he apologizes. Mandy says that if they’re having the match, that’s fine. But they’re not going to fight over her like she’s a prize. Of course, that’s not what this is. Ziggler vows to beat Otis and then leave all of this behind. The two then head back to the hotel to watch the rest of the night with some champagne.

 

SmackDown presents a very special Firefly Fun House!

Wyatt has a framed picture taken from his WrestleMania 30 defeat. Wyatt wipes the tears from his eyes before saying hi. He’s so excited to see the fireflies again. But today, he’s going to teach us about… Shut up, voices in his head!! That Bray had his chance. That Bray failed. But “he” won’t. Abby the witch says Bray was delusional then, and is even more delusional now. Or does he have some “secret recipe” to beat Cena this time? Well actually, yes! He has a blender and ingredients! Add 1 scoop disappointment, a little bit of self-loathing, some hot sauce for flavor, and a heaping, helping of rage AND resentment! perfect!

Ramblin’ Rabbit says to not leave out the carrots. The beta-carotene will help him see Cena. Oh of course! NO. But Ramblin’ himself was the secret ingredient Bray needs! “Some irrelevant, non-necessary opinions!” OH NO~! Ramblin’ Rabbit begs for mercy, but he gets the puree setting instead. And now Bray gives us an infomercial. When this WWE superstar isn’t playing in the fun house, he’s creating the “perfect concoction” to defeat John Cena at WrestleMania! YOWIE WOWIE! It goes straight to your head. A big star like Cena deserves more than just an ordinary match. Especially since “he” is anything but ordinary.

In fact, “he” wants Cena to join their world of madness and mayhem where the fun never ends! So The Fiend is officially challenging Cena to the first-ever Firefly Fun House Match! Down the hatch! Yummy. But there is one nasty side effect. “Let Me In.” Will Cena join the “fun” inside the Firefly Fun House? Will Cena make it out alive?

 

The Miz and John Morrison join commentary!

That’s because the SmackDown Tag Team Champions want to watch the #1 contender’s match up close and personal!

 

SmackDown has huge news for the last episode before WrestleMania!

Goldberg and Roman Reigns will be face-to-face just days before their showdown! Will either man make a move before their WWE Universal Championship match?

And with Bray Wyatt’s bizarre challenge, John Cena returns to give his answer! Will Cena accept the invitation to step inside the mind of a madman?

 

SmackDown Tag Team Championships #1 Contender’s match: The New Day VS The Usos!

Many movie franchises are huge hits from the first to the last. While this rivalry isn’t a movie franchise, the two teams have always delivered instant classics. Will this newest sequel also be a blockbuster? And who moves on to share the spotlight with the Greatest Tag Team of the 21st Century?

SmackDown returns as Miz ‘n’ Morrison give both contender teams their props. But then they’re interrupted by “AWWWWW~ people at HOOOME~!” Miz and Morrison mock the entrance and say they do not feel the power. Big E and Kofi appear, still serving pancakes despite no fans here to feast on them. The Usos are next, and the introductions are made. Teams sort out, and this rivalry begins again with Kofi and Jimmy.

Jimmy and Kofi circle and tie up. Jimmy headlocks and throws Kofi to a cover. ONE as Kofi keeps his shoulders up. Kofi gets up and powers out but Jimmy runs him over with a shoulder. Jimmy talks some trash as things speed up. Kofi jumps and jumps but gets caught to a back suplex. Kofi lands on his feet but Jimmy runs at him in the corner. Jimmy uses a monkey flip but Kofi lands on his feet! Kofi dropkicks Jimmy but Jimmy catches it! Jimmy catapults Kofi to a corner but Kofi lands on the ropes to dropkick Jimmy down! Jimmy bails out and Jey regroups with him. Miz and MOrrison wonder what’s wrong, and then mock the “UCE! OH!”

Jimmy and Jey go back to the ring and tag. Kofi taunts Jimmy about stamina then tags in Big E. Big E and Jey circle then tie up. Jey waistlocks but Big E pries free. Big E tosses Jey over his hip! Jey and Big E circle again and tie up. Jey gets the arm and wrenches Big E to a wristlock. Big E blocks the whip with pure power, and then whips Jey to the corner. Jey slides to a stop to UPPERCUT Big E back. Jey runs but Big E elbows him down! Big E tags Kofi and Kofi runs to leap frog senton! Cover, TWO! Kofi mule kicks Jey to ropes then whips. Jimmy tags in and Jey reverses the whip to pop-up hotshot! Jimmy covers, TWO! The Usos keep their cool and Jimmy drags Kofi up. Jimmy CHOPS and CHOPS Kofi, then tags in Jey.

The Usos mug Kofi in the corner then Jey kicks. Kofi blocks, spins Jey and ducks the Dragon Whip! Hot tag to Big E! Jey tags in Jimmy but Big E throws him over head! And again! Big E puts Jimmy on the apron to club and club and club! He counts with the ref, then goes to the corner. Big E runs out to APRON SPLASH! Jimmy is gasping for air as SmackDown goes to break.

SmackDown returns as Big E lifts Jimmy but Jey tags in. Big E ROCKS Jey then runs, but the Usos both get in to DOUBLE SPINE BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! The Miz & Morrison are impressed by the quick tag tactics. Jey has Big E in the corner and fires up with “UCE! OH!” Jey runs in, BIG hip attack! Jimmy tags in and takes his turn. “UCE! OH!” But he runs into an URINAG-E! Hot tags to Jey and Kofi! Kofi leaps to ax handle and double chop Jey! Kofi dropkicks then hits a leaping lariat! He runs for the NEW~ DAY~ Boom Drop! Kofi claps but there are no fans to clap back. Even so, Kofi spins but Jey ducks, to mule kick! Jey whips KOfi corner to corner, but Kofi goes up and huricanranas!

The Miz and Morrison mock the claps as Kofi leaps, into Jey’s flapjack! Jey has a Half Crab! Kofi endures as Jey sits deep. Kofi crawls as Miz and Morrison mock the Usos’ chant. Jey drags Kofi away but Kofi rolls and pushes him away. Jey runs into the SOS! Cover, TWO!! Morrison starts a “Fight Forever!” chant and Miz joins in. Kofi drags Jey up but Jey fireman’s carries. Kofi slips out and elbows Jey away. Big E tags in and Kofi climbs up top. Big E drags Jey up, but Jey drops down to evade the flying stomps! Jimmy POSTS Kofi! And SUPERKICKS Big E! Jey SUPERKICKS Big E now! Cover, TWO!! Big E survives and Miz starts a “This is Awesome!” chant.

Jey tags Jimmy and the Usos drag Big E up together. They double CHOP Big E in a corner then hoist him up top. Both Usos climb but Big E fights them off. Down goes Jey, then Jimmy! But Jimmy goes up to enziguri Big E down! The Usos both build speed but Kofi anchors Jey! Jimmy helps Jey drag Kofi up and in, to toss out. Kofi stays on the apron and then dump both Usos out! Kofi builds speed to FLY onto Jimmy! Miz and Morrison do their chant instead, “Miz ‘n’ Morrison! Hey hey! Ho ho!” Kofi TRIPS Morrison off the desk! Miz gets upset but Jey FLIES onto them both! Big E returns to SPEAR Jey off the apron!

All six men are down and the ref starts a ring count. Big E drags Jey up to put him in at 5. But then Miz ‘n’ Morrison attack!!

No Contest

The SmackDown Tag Team Champions just screwed both teams over here! They put Jimmy, Jey, Kofi and Big E in to beat them all down! The #TurtleneckToughGuys are only tough because the other four have beaten each other up the whole time. But WWE officials make an announcement. They will now be in a TRIPLE THREAT LADDER MATCH against BOTH The Usos and The New Day! Miz ‘n’ Morrison are furious, but Miz turns around into DOUBLE SUPERKICKS! Morrison turns around into a scoop, and the MIDNIGHT HOUR! Miz ‘n’ Morrison just stepped in it now! Will they be able to make it out of WrestleMania still the leading men of the SmackDown Tag Division?

 


 

My Thoughts:

A pretty good episode as the pandemic and Empty Arena Days continue. Tonight’s PPV replay match was another from before I started working with The Chairshot and EWN, so I had to rewatch HHH VS Reigns. But with all this talk of Roman being off the Mania show, I wonder if advertising a face-to-face even matters this week. A decent match, but that moment Roman Speared Steph is still great. Baron Corbin really shocked me with probably the most sinister thing his character’s done ever. I wonder if this is their way of writing Corbin VS Elias off in the event one or both can’t compete. Though, there’s talk that the first day has been recorded so who knows.

Gulak has a decent match with Nakamura, but it works that things are a bit “controversial” for Gulak to win. Obviously we were getting Zayn VS Bryan so it’s fine that Gulak gets a win like that. I’m not sure how the Intercontinental Championship match goes, but if Sami wins, I want to see one of his teammates go after him for it. Likewise, if Bryan wins, he can have matches with the other “artists,” and even another match with Gulak. Bray Wyatt had a really good promo in challenging Cena to a Firefly Fun House match, and that match itself sounds like it’ll be pretty good. Hopefully a touch better than the House of Horrors match as the “failed” Bray against Randy Orton.

Alexa VS Asuka was a pretty good match, and it was still surprising for Alexa to win. But how else does a tag title story continue? That said, I feel like Raw’s go-home should schedule Nikki VS Kairi to complete the set, and then SmackDown’s go-home officially announces the title match. Though, if the rumors of Kairi (and Io Shirai, too) going back to Japan and Stardom are coming true, expect Nikki to win against Kairi and then Bliss-Cross to win the titles. Which is a shame, but talking about WWE/Vince dropping the ball is a different subject for a different article. Meanwhile, the SmackDown Women’s Championship match is heating up, and while Tamina had an impressive showing tonight, I feel like this is going to end with Sasha winning. She may not have to betray Bayley if another entrant eliminates her, but Grand Slam Sasha could be happening.

And then the tag team match in the main event was great, just as both Usos and New Day said it would be. Miz & Morrison were great on commentary, and I did not expect the end to go that way. A Triple Threat Ladder Match is going to be a great match, especially if the news is right about Miz needing to stay out because of his own health concerns. It is a bit reckless for Miz to have even shown up feeling under the weather given the circumstances, but a Ladder Match and a Triple Threat makes it easier for them to compensate. Morrison probably could win this on his own, which is the outcome I see at this point.

My Score: 8.3/10

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 4.24.25

We get another chapter of Hardy Compound shenanigans! NEMETH BROTHERS! WE KNEW YOU’D COME!

Published

on

Oh boy, the best thing to come from the TNA product has been on WWE programs for the last month or so. Can we start getting some non-garbage episodes that make sense with wrestling that isn’t useless or atrocious? And Trey Miguel is the first person out…so my faith is dwindling.

I hate these early stages of the Delirious Dreamer combination. This crap makes me miss Tigre Uno, Dixie Carter, hell even the Claire Lynch angle was so disgustingly cringe it was car crash entertaining. You know, like Jersey Shore. So let’s see if something can stop sucking.

Ratings:

  • Trey Miguel & Ace Austin vs Moose & JDC w/Alisha: JDC wins after interference – ** 1/4
  • Jacy Jayne w/ Fatal Influence vs Rosemary: Jacy wins via Rolling Punch – **
  • Cinematic Hardy Compound: Kaiba Boys vs Hardy Boyz: 15/7, 10/10, 100/100, Hardy thing ever!
  • Tessa Blanchard vs Missa Kate: Tessa wins via Buzzsaw DDT – **
  • Joe Hendry & Elijah vs Ethan Page & Kaz: Elijah wins via Highwayman’s Farewell – ** 3/4

 

Results:

Trey Miguel & Ace Austin vs Moose & JDC w/Alisha

JDC and Trey start it’s just chain wrestling, nothing worth notating. The big early spot is slow and dumb, Trey goes for a Springboard Moonsault while in the Arm Wringer to turn it into a slow Arm Drag followed by a slow Dropkick. Throws JDC into the face corner, and Moose is late to the help spot so Trey has to beckon for him to come forward for a Tandem Drop Toe Hold causing Moose to Headbutt JDC in the groin. Double Dropkick sends Moose to the floor, but he doesn’t sell it long so he plucks Trey off the apron, smashes him and JDC tags out as we go to commercial. Jesus Christ this is cornball trope start and no one is looking good in the first 5 minutes. Am I possibly a little a jaded? Well of course, the shows have sucked for weeks and you start with bog standard “make fun of the heel” team start and its slow and unengaging. Maybe Dreamer should ask Trips if TNA talent can use the PC to learn psychology or…something interesting.

We come back and the heels are still magically in control with JDC locking in a Hammerlock Suplex into a Keylock. Tag to Moose and Trey is sooo banged up apparently an Arm Wringer throws him to the mat like a bitch. Starting off the show so damn slow is not really a good luck to keep people watching the show. It’s only like 8:20 and I want to go to sleep. Moose of course gets cocky taking his time to do a Jacknife Powerbomb so of course Trey counters, Ace gets the hot tag and guess what? Ace starts laying out both guys with quick strikes, Tijeras, Kicks, Click Click Boom, his corner dodge into the Mochizuki Triangle Kick but Moose kicks out. *sigh*

Ace decides to tag Trey back in, but their version of Poetry in Motion gets caught by Moose and Moose Powerbombs Trey into Ace. System tandem offense, Dropkick from JDC, Uranage from Moose, Down and Dirty from Dango but Ace breaks up the pin. Ace assists Trey with the Knee Slide Tornado DDT to take out Moose, they look for a finish but Lish distracts the ref, Dango kicks Trey in the dick, Brian Myers interferes and JDC wins the match.

Yawn…basic bullshit is not really driving attention.

Next is a video package for Masha and Tessa with Masha talking…who can’t cut a promo in English and Dreamer of course inserts himself for a fake “do it for your trainer” add. Oh Christ, this is like Rocky IV from Wish, but the Russian is the babyface. I hate every second of this and welcome the commercial break. 

While I think this promo goes on entirely too long, you can decide if it sucks or not:

Jacy Jayne w/ Fatal Influence vs Rosemary

Start isn’t really a thing since Rosemary feigns the Mist so Jacy runs away, when she does get back in Rosemary clocks her, beats on her in the corner, Upside Down and then gorgeous Fallon and the pack tactics give Jacy enough of a distraction to PK kick Rosemary and take control. Rosemary gets out of a Headlock with biting, then bits Jacy on the face and follows it up with a Shotgun Dropkick. Jacy tries to Reverse the Irish Whip but Rosemary kicks off the buckle, turns and connects with a Flying Forearm. Rosemary gets a little distracted, eats a V-Trigger but zombie rises from the dead and Face Buster into a Spicolli Driver attempt, but Jazmyn gets involved, Rosemary drops Jazmyn and when she turns around Jacy connects with her Rolling Punch for the finish.

Fatal Influence attack Rosemary and Mirror Match Xias come to make the save.

Cinematic Hardy Compound: Kaiba Boys vs Hardy Boyz

Willow the Wisp sighting early, he drops the umbrella and starts dancing to Kendrick’s They Not Like Us, then Jeff shows up and attacks Nic, they brawl in a pickup truck. Seto Nic Ziggler hits the Superkick, but Jeff turns it around, they get on top of the cab and Jeff wants to Powerbomb Nic through conveniently placed tables, but Back Body Drop sends Jeff crashing. Nic goes into the truck and finds a tag team title. Is that the idea? First person to find the titles like an RPG quest?

Matt Pearl Harbors Mokuba near a fountain as it cuts to Nic walking through the house at the arcade, and he finds their title case and he thinks it’s booby trapped so he does the heist thing of replacing the title with an exercise weight. Matt has a PREMONITION!!! THe Kaibas have the titles! And Ryan turns things around for a moment until he eats gate and gets Speared into the pool with Reby playing piano looking like a snack. Ryan is teleported into the house for Maxel the Great with Senor Benjamin as the ticket taker and most of the Hardy kids sitting in the theater. It’s an old 1920s Silent Film with Maxel beating up Ryan and the kids keep saying he sucks. He gets showered in roses, Benjamin is crying the kids rejoice and cut back to Ryan floating in the pool. Dr Wolfie is diagnosing Ryan on the couch and they have a fantastic conversation. Wolfie blames the Matt Hardy fans for Booing Wolfie. Wolfie asks if Ryan if he ever hugged his parents and Ryan starts crying and Wolfie goes “That’ll be 500 dollars for the emotional damage”.

Gothic Baby Shadow Realms Ryan into his Emo Phase with Simple Plan playing. Then he has a roast battle with Bardie. Ryan is getting pelted with eggs while Matt is drowning him in the pool. Nic saves his Little Brother from drowning in the pool (been there). Maxel attacks, Nic Pie Faces the kid, Ryan ambushes Matt with a title shot and then BROTHER NERO! We’re just missing Itchweed to complete the essences of Jeff.

Nemeths see Jeff stalking them and they bail. So we may get a return to the Broken Brothers.

That was glorious and the fact it’s used as a set up for a real match instead of a replacement for a real match makes it actually better.

Tessa Blanchard vs Missa Kate

Tessa doesn’t take her serious after a quick flurry so Kate lands a Tilt-a-Whirl Gourdbuster before Tessa turns things around and lays in offense. Dropkick, Springboard Elbows, Teardrop Suplex, and Tessa calms down a little after taking complete control again. Tessa keeps Kate in the corner and lays in Forearms, Kicks, goes for a Splash but Kate finally dodges and slams Tessa face first into a Buckle. Tessa hits the Cutter, goes to the top, MAGNUM, Buzzsaw DDT just because.

Masha attacks Tessa after the match and hits the Russian Death Device and puts her in a Fujiwara Armbar until Tessa gets away and bails to the floor while Masha holds the ring.

Joe Hendry & Elijah vs Ethan Page & Kaz

This whole match is stupid. Hendry had no tape at Mania, went against “doctor’s orders” to defend the title at Rebellion this Sunday anyway…so they put him in a worthless tag match when they didn’t want him active? Delirious and Dreamer need to be shot in the head. It won’t hit anything. 

Elijah and Kaz start this match, Kaz looks dumb and gets dogwalked and then Rope Walked because heels aren’t allowed to be competent against “fan favorites” until at least 3 minutes into a match. Stupid, stupid, stupid. Back from the commercial break, Hendry and Elijah Double Clothesline Kaz and he’ll prolly slip something in a minute or so. Elijah does 10 Count Punches dropping Kaz, into the ropes, Kaz hops over him but Elijah throws him towards Page. Weird…but okay. Ethan calls for Hendry, and they lock up causing Hendry to wince at the arm that isn’t Kayfabed well, but Hendry hits the ropes, Shoulder Tackle into Hip Toss with “bad” arm, now Stalling Suplex that is just dropped immediately because of “arm”. Tags out quickly to Elijah and Ethan gets Manhattan Dropped and Big Booted into Saturday. Kaz takes a cheap shot when Elijah hits the ropes, so Ethan pounces and the heels finally have some momentum. Double Team on Elijah into a Rude Awakening from Kaz for two.

Ethan tries to keep Elijah isolated, Elijah gets the boot up, but he cuts off Elijah from the tag, Ethan tags in Kaz and a Slingshot Leg Drop gets another two. Elijah fights out of the corner, knocks down Ethan, counter wrestling from Kaz and Elijah before a Jumping Knee Lift levels Kaz. Elijah looks for the tag but Ethan picks Hendry off the apron and throws him into the steps. Heels doing the dogpile thing. Ethan throws Elijah into a corner, Up and Over but Ethan catches him just to get kicked away. Joe drags himself to the corner, simultaneous tags, Lariats into Sack of Shit for both heels. Attitude Adjustment on Kaz for only two. Hendry is overselling the injury no one cares enough about to write logically. So good for him that he’s doing their job, it’s just creative that isn’t. Kaz catches Hendry in Fade to Black but Hendry gets out, Scoop Slam into the Springboard Leg Drop but Hendry kicks out. Kaz wants the Chicken Wing on the bad arm, but Ethan tags himself in causing infighting, Avalanche Tandem Superplex but Elijah shoves Ethan into the pinfall to break it. Elijah and Ethan throw hands, Crossroads from Elijah, Backstabber from Kaz, Rope Run Cutter from Hendry on Kaz, Spin and pose, Standing Ovation attempt but the arm gives, Elijah tags in, Ethan refuses to tag Kaz, Highwayman’s Farewell from Elijah.

 

Overall Score: 6.4/10

All of the points are for Fallon Henley existing, Lei Ying Lee and the Hardy Compound match. Without the Hardy match the show was like a 2. Bad logic, bad booking, heels are too samey with everyone being a dweeb that has to get beat on for 3-5 minutes before they can remember they can wrestle. Sean Waltman is also an interesting wrinkle in the System and Rascalz thing, but the first hour of this show was useless. If people continued to watch for the Hardy match, that was the only thing that may have entertained new eyes because of WrestleMania.

Rebellion is Sunday and next Thursday starts at 10 Eastern…ugh. If TNA doesn’t get off the west coast or work days, I won’t review any of this positively. First World problems, fully aware. But come on now, especially with the shit writing from the last month or so, this show isn’t worth staying up if they TNA personally paid people to review it. It would be totally different if the content was entertaining.

You know what, just give the Hardy’s the book. I’d rather insanity than forgetting to write in logic to a kayfabe injury and because things are pre-taped the WM appearance makes no sense and sudden over selling makes less sense. This isn’t booking into a corner this is booking into a Short Bus with a flat tire.

PLAY BY PLAY

Mark Sterling interrupts the show’s introductions?!

“Smart” Mark issues a verbal cease and desist and says he will take it from here. “Everybody knows that this is Ariya Daivari & Tony Nese, The Premier Athletes! Folks, it took me 20 years of living in this town to realize that it was just East Albany. I gotta tell ya, nothing has ever sprung from this field for a very long time. Especially these losers right here.” Sterling is pointing at the Danhausen cosplayer and their friends. But Sterling says he’s going to let them be part of a winning team for once, unlike the Thunderbirds! So, when Sterling says, “Athletes,” you say, “Rule,” nothing else! Hands in, boys. Ohh… “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!”

The fans got Sterling again! But now they’re joined by their tag partners in tonight’s opening. It’s The Righteous! But it isn’t just good ol’ Dutch & Vincent making their returns to start the show. Matt Taven & Mike Bennett are back and standing alongside Angelico y Serpentico! Will Nese & Daivari be feeling very self-righteous with a win tonight? Or will the fans be justified in saying “Athletes Suck?”

8 Man Tag: The Premier Athletes & The Righteous VS The Kingdom & Spanish Announce Project!

The teams sort out and Angelico starts against Daivari. Nese tries to get the fans to play along again, “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!” Still not learning their lesson… The bell rings, Daivari and Angelico circle, and Angelico still offers the Code of Honor. Daivari says sure, why not. He shakes hands, but then kicks low! Daivari bumps Angelico off buckles, tags in Nese, and the Athletes mug Angelico. “ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” The Athletes double whip but Angelico grabs ropes. Angelico TOSSES Daivari, BOOTS Nese, then wrenches Nese to tag in #SNAKEMAN! Serpentico goes up, and he DOUBLE STOMPS Nese’s arm!

Sterling protests but SAP double whip, double drop down, and then HIP TOSS for the HIP TOSS SENTON! Serpentico adds a SPLASH! Cover, TWO! Serpentico wrenches Nese, tags in Taven, and the fans cheer Taven as he wrenches Nese to a wristlock. Nese takes a swing, Taven ducks to waistlock, but Nese bucks the O’Conner. But Taven arm-drags Nese! Nese powers up, whips Taven to a corner, but Taven goes up and over. Taven comes back, slides under the hurdle, then DROPKICKS Nese down! The fans fire up, because “IIIII’M! MATT TAVEN!” Taven storms up on Nese, wrenches, and he tags in Bennett.

The fans fire up as Bennett whips Nese into Taven’s BOOT, then ROCKS Nese so Taven can LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Daivari and Sterling protest, “One in, one out!” Bennett keeps Nese from his corner and CHOPS him against the ropes! Bennett whips Nese but Nese grabs the ropes to bail out! The fans boo but Bennett pursues! Bennett pushes Nese back into the ring but Daivari eggs Bennett on. Bennett gives back the trash talk, but then he dodges Nese’s baseball slide dropkick! Bennett DECKS Nese, then he DECKS Daivari! Sterling steps up but Bennett asks, “You want some, too?!” Sterling backs off, but Nese BLINDSIDES Bennett!

The fans boo and Bennett’s team protests, but the ref keeping them back allows Sterling, Daivari & The Righteous the chance to mug Bennett on the outside! The fans boo more, but the ref misses all of this, and Dutch puts Bennett in the ring. Nese covers, TWO! Bennett is tougher than that but Nese tags in Vincent. They mug Bennett, and Vincent DECKS Bennett. Vincent then puts Bennett in the corner to ROCK him, and he tags Dutch. Dutch fires body shot after body shot, then an UPPERCUT! Bennett sits down, Dutch taunts Taven, and Vincent CHOKES Bennett behind the ref’s back! The fans boo but Dutch drags Bennett up to bump him off buckles.

Dutch whips Bennett corner to corner, LARIATS him down, and then covers, TWO! Dutch clamps onto Bennett with a chinlock and he squeezes tight. Bennett endures, the Premier Athletes soak up the heat, and then the fans rally. Bennet fights to his feet, and he JAWBREAKERS free! Dutch staggers, Nese tags in! Nese STOMPS Bennett down, then taunts Taven and SAP! Nese drags Bennett back to have a chinlock of his own. Nese grinds Bennett down but fans chant, “Athletes Suck!” Bennett fights up, fires body shots, and is free! Only for Nese to pick him up and RAM him into the corner! Nese fires off, but Bennett fires back!

Bennett DECKS Nese, then he ROCKS Dutch, ROCKS Vincent, and ROCKS Daivari! Bennett runs up, but DOUBLE LARIATS take him and Nese down! The fans fire back up while Taven and SAP coach Bennett on! Sterling shouts to Nese, both men crawl, and the fans rally up more. Hot tags to Daivari and Taven! The fans fire up as Taven dodges Daivari to SPLASH Nese! Then Taven BOOTS Daivari, and he GAMANGIRIS Nese! HEEL KICK for Daivari! BACKDROP for Nese! The fans fire up and Taven runs to LION- NO, Daivari moves! Taven lands out, and he dodges to SUPERKICK! Then the LIONSAULT! Cover, Dutch breaks it!

The fans boo but Taven and Dutch brawl! Vincent tags in, and The Righteous double whip, only for Serpentico to tag in! Taven stops himself at the ropes, then bails out! Serpentico eggs Dutch on, Dutch runs up, but SAP DUMP Dutch out! Vincent runs up, Angelico GAMANGIRIS! Then Angelico FLYING LARIATS Dutch down! Serpentico arm-drags Vincent, then SUPERKICKS! Then BASEMENT FLATLINER! The fans fire up, but Daivari is back to clinch and URENAGE! But The Kingdom is in, Taven pops Daivari up for the BOSTON BAYONET! Sterling gets on the apron to yell at them, but The Kingdom DOUBLE SUPERKICK him down!

The fans fire up more and Bennett tells Sterling to “SUCK IT!” but The Righteous are back! They CLOBBER The Kingdom from behind! The fans boo, but Serpentico shoves Vincent into Dutch, O’Conner Roll, TWO! BLACKHOLE SLAM!! And then ORANGE SUNSHINE!! Cover, Righteous & Athletes win!

Winners: The Premier Athletes & The Righteous, by pinfall

Sterling celebrates like he and his guys actually did something there. But then the way The Righteous look at them, the Premier Athletes get outta there. Now that they are back, will death walk through ROH, Dutch & Vincent following behind?

 

Nick Wayne speaks.

It was after Spring Breakthru Collision that the Prodigy said, “When you normally see me, I’m always with the family, I’m always with The Patriarchy. But tonight, I did this on my own. I won this on my own! I didn’t need Kip Sabian, I didn’t need Christian Cage, and I sure didn’t need my mother ringside to do things like this! It’s reasons like this why they call me The Prodigy. It’s reasons like this why I’m the future of professional wrestling. ROH just became Wayne’s World, and you’re all just living in it.” Nick did make history all on his own, but we saw last night on Dynamite that Christian Cage is trying to take that from him. Will Nick Wayne finally be his own man?

 

ROH Women’s World Television Championship Proving Ground: Red Velvet VS Ashley Vox!

The Chef is back, and she’s ready to heat the kitchen up again. She knows La Catalina is waiting her turn for a shot at this title, but will Velvet owe another golden ticket? Or is the Reel Catch about to get cooked in ten minutes or less?

The Code of Honor is not upheld as Velvet leaves Vox hanging to smooth her hair. Velvet says sorry, sorry, she’s just kidding around. She offers the handshake again, but then pulls the same joke! The fans boo and Vox is annoyed. Velvet says for real this time, but then Vox grabs Velvet’s hand to make her shake. The bell rings, but Velvet doesn’t let go! She short arm LARIATS Vox and the fans boo! Velvet mocks them, and then she rains down furious forearms! Velvet soaks up the heat, but Vox rolls her up! TWO, and Velvet is annoyed. Velvet CLOBBERS Vox, talks trash, “You think you’re gonna beat me?”

Velvet puts Vox on ropes to CHOKE! The ref counts, Velvet steps off at 4, and then Velvet taunts the fans, and even mocks Vox’s fishhook finger. Velvet winds up, but Vox blocks the shot to HOTSHOT the arm! The fans rally for Vox and Vox ROCKS Velvet again and again! Velvet KNEES low, CLUBS her, then bumps her off buckles. Velvet runs Vox side to side, but Vox blocks and bumps Velvet! The fans rally, Vox whips, but Velvet reverses! Velvet dribbles Vox off buckles, then she lets off. Velvet storms back up to snapmare Vox, push her to a cover, ONE!! Vox shows some toughness, but Velvet kneels on her to CHOKE her!

The ref reprimands, Velvet steps off, and Velvet tells the fans to shut up. Velvet clamps onto Vox with a chinlock and grinds her down. The fans rally, Vox endures, and Vox fights up. Vox arm-drags free! The fans fire up, Vox runs in, but Velvet dodges! Velvet unloads the body shots! The ref counts, Velvet lets off, but then she stomps a mudhole into Vox! Velvet stops at 4, then she digs her boot into Vox! Velvet does the split, she taunts the fans, but she stops as the ref counts again. Velvet swaggers and stirs it up, to then run back in, only for Vox to ELBOW her! Velvet runs up, Vox BOOTS her! Vox goes up, Velvet staggers around, Vox MISSILE DROPKICKS!

Velvet flounders away and the fans rally up. Vox runs, dodges, and KNEES Velvet down! The fans fire up as Vox holds up the hook! But Velvet BOOTS the hook away! Vox dodges to HEADBUTT! And then she reels Velvet in, for the FISH HOOK! Vox ripcords and LARIATS! Cover, TWO!! Velvet survives and Vox can’t believe it! The fans rally, but time is on Vox’s side! Vox stalks Velvet, brings her around, fisherman, but Velvet wrenches out! Velvet dodges the lariat, and she DECKS Vox!! Cover, Velvet wins!

Winner: Red Velvet, by pinfall (denies Ashley Vox a title opportunity)

That punch might as well have been a knockout, but The Chef is- interrupted by La Diva del Ring! Catalina is here, and she signals that she’s gonna have that belt. The fans cheer as Catalina steps up to Velvet in the ring, and the two talk a bit of smack. When and where will Catalina be on the menu with Red Velvet?

 

ROH announces entrants for the Women’s Pure Championship Tournament!

Leila Grey says listen up, because she has some exciting news! The Last Baddie Standing is officially in the tournament! And it is about time she has her name added to the history books. Go ahead and underestimate her, but don’t get it twisted. A tournament means opportunity. And Deonna Purrazzo says this is the perfect opportunity for her. If we’re talking the inaugural ROH Women’s Pure Champion, who better than The Virtuosa? Because when you think women’s wrestling and ROH, you think Deonna Purrazzo. There is not another woman in this tournament who has done what she’s done!

But then Taya Valkyrie says, “Pure class, pure perfection, pure style. I just knew this championship was made for me. And when you think of ‘pure,’ you think of Taya! I am the epitome of a rule follower. I will be an awfully good girl and take myself all the way to the end.” Taya does note that her partner, Deonna, will be in the tournament, too. How amazing it would be for a perfectly Pure Vendetta finals? That sounds absolutely delicious. But Deonna warns Taya. The best pure technical women’s wrestler will win this, and we all know who that will be. The Virtuosa clearly thinks herself ahead of La Wera Loca, but who will be the very first ROH Women’s Pure Champion?

 

8 Man Tag: Shane Taylor Promotions VS Mark Briscoe, AR Fox & Top Flight!

Speaking of Pure Championship titles, Lee Moriarty still has his, but he, The Infantry and Shane Taylor himself want all the gold! Will they finally get closer to dominating ROH? Or will the Sussex County Chicken, the Whole Fox’n Show and the Martin Brothers all #ManUp and get themselves some title opportunities?

The fans cheer on Top Flight, and then the teams sort out. Mark starts against Shane, but Shane SPITS on the Code of Honor! The fans boo, the bell rings, and Mark asks, “It’s like that?” Shane says yeah, it’s like that! The forearms start flying! They go back and forth, faster and faster, and the fans fire up! Mark ROCKS Shane, then bobs ‘n’ weaves to fire more forearms! Mark runs, but Shane swings! Mark ducks ‘n’ dodges, then CROSSBODIES, but Shane catches him! Shane shakes his head, pops Mark up, but Mark slips free! REDNECK KUNG-FU UPPERCUT! Then a ROLLING ELBOW! Mark runs, but Shane CLOBBERS him!

Lee tags in, but so does Fox. Fox kicks, Lee blocks and KICKS, but Fox ENZIGIRIS! Fox runs, but Lee GAMANGIRIS! Lee fires up and the fans are torn. Lee wrenches Fox, tags Carlie Bravo, they double whip. Fox holds ropes, DUMPS Lee out, then TOSSES Carlie! Fox sweeps the legs! Fox runs and SLINGSHOT STOMPS Carlie, to then CROSSBODY Lee! The fans fire up for Fox and he goes back to the ring. Fox trips Carlie up, then MOONSAULTS onto Lee! Fox goes back up the corner, and he SWANTON BOMBS onto knees! Carlie saves himself, then gets Fox into the corner. Tag to Dean and Carlie feeds Fox to a clinch!

Dean lifts, Carlie helps out, BOOSTED URENAGE! Cover, TWO! Fox is tougher than that, but Dean stays between him and his team. Dean stalks Fox, then he RAMS Fox into the STP corner again. The whole team mugs Fox! The fans boo, Carlie says that’s how it is! Dean tags Carlie, and Carlie stands Fox up for more shots! Carlie tells the fans to shut up, then he CHOPS! And CHOPS again! Carlie fireman’s carries, then he spins to GUT BUSTER DROP! Cover, TWO! Fox survives but Carlie keep shim down with a chinlock. Fox endures, the fans rally, and Fox fights around. Fox fires body shots, but Bravo CLUBS him!

Fox reaches for his corner, Bravo kicks Fox, but Fox still fights! Bravo ROCKS Fox, kicks and reels him in, but Fox suplexes first! ANARCHY! Both men are down and the fans fire up again! Fox and Bravo crawl, hot tags to Dean and Darius! Darius CLOBBERS Dean, BLASTS Lee, then fires hands on Dean! Darius whips, Dean reverses, but Darius atomic drops! Then he BULLDOG HOTSHOTS! BOOT for Bravo! GAMANGIRI for Dean! Lee lurks and grabs a foot! Darius kicks free, Shane tags in, and Darius steps in, into a HAYMAKER! Shane hauls Darius up, and he URENAGES! Shane talks trash, then SPLASHES DOWN! Cover, TWO!!

Darius survives but Shane drags Darius up. Shane puts Darius in a corner, and CHOPS! Dean says, “That’s a man right there! That’s a man!” Darius comes back to CHOP, CHOP, and CHOP! ROLLING- NO, Shane ducks, bobs ‘n’ weaves, then HEADBUTTS! Tag to Bravo and they stomp Darius. Tag to Dean, he sends Carlie in for a SPLASH! Then “Psyche!” Dean sends Carlie back in for another SPALSH! Dean runs, but into Darius’ SPANISH FLY! Both men are down, they flounder, hot tags to Lee and Dante! Dante ELBOWS Lee, DECKS him, then whips. Lee reverses, Dante slips to the outside to go up and over!

Dante KICKS Carlie, GAMANGIRIS Lee, then MOONSAULTS onto Carlie! Dante springboards and CROSSBODIES Lee! Dante keeps moving, he DIVES onto Shane! The fans fire up and Dante springboards again, CANNONBALL on Lee! Cover, TWO!! Lee survives but Dante stays focused. The fans rally, Dante drags Lee up, but Lee fights the half nelson! Lee slips around, wheelbarrows, victory roll! TWO, and Dante runs up, but Lee slips through to hammerlock and NECKBREAKER! Hot tags to Carlie and Mark! Mark dodges Dean, and then he fires off forearms and CHOPS on the Infantry! The fans fire up, Dean grabs Mark, but Mark BOOTS Carlie!

Mark breaks free to PELE Dean! Then he catches Carlie for an EXPLODER! But Shane storms in! Mark bobs ‘n’ weaves to RKF UPPERCUT! Shane blocks the whip to whip Mark, but Mark BOOTS Lee! Mark then DUMPS Shane out to the floor! Darius DIVES to take out Lee! Dante DIVES to take out Dean! Fox FLIES to take out Shane! Mark baits Carlie into a kick, underhook, and JAY DRILLER!! Cover, #DemBoys win!

Winners: Mark Briscoe, AR Fox & Top Flight, by pinfall

A big win for this rough ‘n’ tumble unit! Will this momentum help all four men head for titles? Will Top Flight at least be in good shape going into their Tornado Tag Match with The Cru?
