WWE mourns the loss of Kamala, aka James Harris.
Samoa Joe is in the ring!
He welcomes us to Monday Night Raw as he presides over a contract signing “for one of the most personal of matches,” set for SummerSlam. Joe has seen some contract signings, but one of their competitors is signing two contracts to make them an official WWE superstar. First, “the Goliath in our tale of David and Goliath,” a man Joe has many profane words for, the self-proclaimed Monday Night Messiah, Seth Rollins! Rollins has Buddy Murphy beside him as he makes his way to the ring. And the opponent, a man with a babyface who has taken the fight to Rollins to such a level that he is surely “a grown ass man,” Dominik Mysterio! Dominik walks out, titantron and theme song accompanying him, as well as a kendo stick!
Dominik is wary as he joins everyone else in the ring. Joe may be there but he must stay impartial if he wants to keep his job. Rollins wonders, how is Dominik a man if he has that weapon? He looks like a coward, or a scared little boy. Joe agrees, he’ll hold onto the kendo stick for Dominik. Does Joe think this is a joke? No, it’s not. This is actually rather sad. What’s sad about this? It’s simple, Seth. Seth is the sad one. Joe should be seeing “Seth Freakin’ Rollins,” one of the greatest this generation. But instead, we have “a man who had the WWE Universe boo him a few times and he got all caught up in his own feelings.” Rollins used it all as an excuse to do what he wants. Rollins went after Rey’s eye, Murphy went after Aleister’s, and who knows what would’ve happened to Joe last week.
The saddest thing of all is that “Seth Freakin’ Rollins” is giving a man with very little training NO CHOICE but to face him. Rollins says Joe has so much wrong, but c’mon! No choice?! Dominik has had a choice every step of the way and has chosen wrong every step of the way! The same goes for Rey and Aleister Black, and now Joe if he makes the wrong choice. But y’know who’s really had no choice? Seth Freakin’ Rollins, that’s who! Not to play the victim card, but Rollins was forced into this! He tried to #BurnItDown, but he got crapped on! By everyone in the back and everyone watching at home! Rollins had no choice but to become the Monday Night Messiah and sacrificing others for the greater good!
So Rollins just has to ask: When is it going to be enough? Enough for Joe, for Dominik, for the other superstars and for the fans? Dominik says it will NEVER be enough! What? Rollins heard him. Rollins makes excuses for what he’s done. Aleister isn’t the same. Rey isn’t the same. Rollins changed the lives of good men for the worse, and uses “the greater good” as an excuse. Rollins is really just fighting for himself. Rollins says Dominik is ungrateful. Dominik is on the cusp of fulfilling a dream, but he doesn’t even understand it’s all because of Rollins. Dominik should be on his knees thanking Rollins. Maybe Rollins has a point. This was Dominik’s dream. But now, the dream is to kick Rollins’ ass!
Rollins laughs and says we all know that Dominik won’t even last 10 seconds in a regular singles match. Rollins is definitely the best of his generation. However, Rollins will do Dominik a favor. Dominik is pretty handy with kendo sticks. How about SummerSlam be a match where Dominik can use that kendo stick, or anything really! Dominik should have every weapon at his disposal, so that there will be no excuse when Rollins ends Dominik’s career before it even begins. Rollins signs his part, and hands it over to Dominik. Dominik signs the SummerSlam contract, as well as his WWE contract.
Congratulations! A big round of applause for the newest superstar! “Now get the hell out of my ring,” because Rollins has a match with Humberto Carrillo. Dominik can take a seat and take some notes so he’ll see what Rollins is forced to do to them all. Carrillo makes his entrance, and the road of revenge for Rey begins after the break!
Seth Rollins w/ Buddy Murphy VS Humberto Carrillo!
Raw returns and the bell rings. Carrillo and Rollins tie up, Rollins and Carrillo go around the ropes but Carrillo gets ROllins in the corner. Carrillo throws hands, Rollins turns things around to grind forearms in. The ref counts but Rollins body shots and stomps Carrillo down. Rollins makes sure Dominik gets a good look at the armlock, but Carrillo arm-drags free! Carrillo tackles Rollins and throws fists! Carrillo rallies and hits a springboard enziguri! Rollins bails out, Carrillo pursues and CHOPS him! Rollins throws Carrillo into barriers! Rollins gets back in the ring, the ref is distracted, but Dominik protects Carrillo from Murphy! The ref sees this and tells them both to back off.
Carrillo gets on the apron, shoulders into Rollins, slingshot sunset flips but Rollins rolls through. Carrillo ducks the Penalty Kick, Rollins ducks a roundhouse but not the enziguri! The crowd fires up as Carrillo drags Rollins up to throw haymakers. The ref backs him off, but Carrillo runs back to throw more hands! Rollins trips Carrillo up and Carrillo falls on the buckle! Rollins clubs away on Carrillo, climbs up behind him, but Carrillo resists the suplex. Rollins gets Carrillo up, Carrillo fights back more, and elbows Rollins down!
Carrillo adjusts, but Murphy distracts! Dominik SMACKS Murphy off the apron! Carrillo MOONSAULTS, but into BOOTS! Rollins SUPERKICKS, and POWERBOMBS! Rollins flips Carrillo over, to CURB STOMP! Cover, Rollins stares Dominik down as he wins!
Winner: Seth Rollins, by pinfall
And then Murphy TACKLES Dominik! The Disciple gets payback with furious stomps, but then feeds Dominik to Rollins. Rollins stomps away now, and Murphy drags Dominik up for his master. “I told you, take notes and listen to the master at work!” But Dominik breaks free to TACKLE Rollins! Murphy drags Dominik off but now they scrap! Rollins KNEES Dominik down! They beat Dominik down with punches and stomps, then they grab the kendo stick. Rollins aims it at Dominik, to SMACK him in the stomach! And SMACK him on the back! Dominik writhes but Rollins isn’t done. Rollins SMACKS Dominik in the stomach again! And then the back again!
Murphy rips Dominik’s shirt off and we can see the marks on his skin! Rollins SMACKS again to leave another mark! Rollins taunts Dominik to “fight like a man” before he SMACKS and SMACKS him again! Rollins got Dominik’s hands that time. Dominik gets to the ropes, but Rollins and Murphy tie him up in them! “You should’ve kept out of our business!” Rollins SMACKS Dominik as he mockingly says, “Hi, Dad~! You watching at home, Papa Rey?” He SMACKS Dominik again! “How’s that feel? I bet you’re on your knees in front of your TV set, begging for mercy! BEG, REY, BEG!!” Rollins SMACKS away on Dominik again and tells Rey he’s a coward!
Murphy fetches things for Rollins as Rollins SMACKS Dominik again! The welts are becoming bloody bruises, as Rollins has even MORE kendo sticks! Murphy gets to have a turn, and they’re going to make Dominik “pay his dues.” Rollins SMACKS Dominik’s chest while Murphy SMACKS Domink’s back!! And again! And again! And again!! Rollins even eggs Murphy on to see who can hit him harder! They hit Dominik so hard, he comes loose of the ropes and is on the mat! Murphy taunts Dominik, “You wanted to be a WWE superstar, right?” SMACK!! Rollins says if Dominik wants to be a man, he has to get up. But Dominik can’t, and that is the only thing that spares him from a Curb Stomp.
Rollins laughs, “The greater good is a beautiful thing! To be continued, Rey.” The crowd boos as Rollins and Murphy leave Dominik covered in bruises and cuts from the kendo sticks. Will Dominik even be able to compete at SummerSlam?
Retribution is coming.
Raw had technical difficulties because of damage done in the shadows. But then SmackDown was completely overrun! A group of masked maniacs did whatever they wanted last week, will they only escalate it this week?
Andrade Almas w/ Zelina Vega & Angel Garza VS Angelo Dawkins!
Before anything else happens, La Muneca takes the mic and says, “All week, I’ve been hearing, ‘Zelina, how could you poison Montez Ford?'” Did anyone realize it’s innocent until proven guilty? Vega will scream until she’s hoarse, she had NOTHING to do with the poisoning of Ford! What kind of manager would she be if she ruined her associates’ careers? Unlike most women, she doesn’t thrive off a man’s success, she creates it! And Bianca Belair can learn a lot from Vega about keeping men in line, and herself in check. Vega doesn’t appreciate Bianca putting her hands on her.
The Street Profits want the smoke, but her team wants the gold. And if you don’t get it, she’ll say it again: she had NOTHING to do with the poisoning. But Almas and Garza will have everything to do with taking away the Raw Tag Team Championships. But Angelo Dawkins makes his entrance, minus Ford, and though the lights have problems again, this match will happen, after the break!
Raw returns and Dawkins fires off forearms with Almas! Dawkins punches Almas to the ropes but lets up at the ref’s count. Dawkins whips Almas, Almas reverses but Dawkins hurdles, only to run into a kick. Almas throws more forearms then runs, into a big dropkick! Dawkins covers but Almas scrambles away. Almas gets out and Dawkins dares him to return. Garza helps Almas cool off and Vega coaches him up. Almas claims this is a “time out” but the ring count reaches 8. Almas goes in, just to get back out. The ring count starts again, Dawkins goes to the apron but Almas trips him up! Almas pushes Dawkins in to stomp away!
Almas rains down right hands then eggs Dawkins on. Dawkins sits up to get a basement dropkick! Almas drops down on Dawkins for a chinlock and grinds him down. Dawkins endures and fights up, throwing elbows. Almas throws forearms but Dawkins hits back. They brawl back and forth, Dawkins gets the edge, then has Almas on the ropes with body shots! The ref backs Dawkins off, but Dawkins LARIATS Almas down! Dawkins rallies, dodges and flying elbows! Almas staggers to a corner but Dawkins scoops him for an EXPLODER! Vega feels that one as the crowd rallies up. Dawkins runs corner to corner but Almas dodges to clothesline!
Almas fires off forearms then fires himself up. Almas runs corner to corner, CIEN SHADOWS! Cover, TWO!! Dawkins lives but Garza tells Almas to keep his focus. Almas goes to the top rope as Dawkins stirs. Almas leaps, but into a RIGHT HAND! Vega hops up on the apron as Dawkins covers! The ref is distracted, but here comes Bianca! Bianca yanks Vega down and Dawkins gives Almas the CASH OUT SPINE BUSTER! Cover, Dawkins wins!
Winner: Angelo Dawkins, by pinfal
The EST tells La Muneca to get up and get in the ring for their match! Vega barely stands before Bianca puts her in! Vega bails out but Bianca is ready! Raw goes to break before things really heat up!
Zelina Vega w/ Andrade Almas & Angel Garza VS Bianca Belair w/ Angelo Dawkins!
Raw returns again and Vega is on Bianca in a dragon sleeper body scissors combo! Bianca rams Vega into buckles until she’s free, but Vega just leaps on for a normal sleeper! Bianca pops her around for a BIG suplex! Vega wants mercy? She still defends she didn’t poison anyone, but then she lunges at Bianca! Bianca jumps over, jumps back around, and then wags her finger at Vega. Bianca keeps Vega from running, but Vega stomps Bianca’s foot and headbutts low. Vega tilt-o-whirls but Bianca spins her around again! Vega drags Bianca down to a triangle hold! Bianca stays on her feet, tries for a cover but Vega keeps her shoulders up. Bianca dead lifts but Vega sunset flips, only for Bianca to stay up again. Bianca drags Vega up and SLAMS her down!
Bianca dares Vega to get up and do something but Vega is just making sure she has her teeth. Vega stands, Bianca bumps her off buckles and stomps a mudhole! Then she fires off fast hands! The ref backs Bianca off but Bianca comes back fore more! The ref counts, Bianca stops at 4, but Vega RAKES her eyes!! Vega headlocks and uses the ropes, for a BULLDOG! Cover, TWO! Vega grows frustrated, Bianca sits up and grits her teeth. Vega pushes Bianca around and ax kicks her back. Vega whips but Bianca blocks and redirects! Vega goes up and over and waistlocks, and even pulls hair! Bianca swings on Vega but Vega shoves her into the corner! Step-up enziguri!

Bianca drags Vega up, spins her around for the torture rack, and the KISS OF DEATH!! Cover, Bianca wins!
Winner: Bianca Belair, by pinfall
Vega may not have done anything to Ford, but she couldn’t do anything to Bianca, either! Charly Caruso interviews Bianca in the ring. Not to spoil the moment, but given Vega defending herself, what evidence is there? Bianca says here’s a secret: She and Ford keep things separate at work, they handle their own business. Vega messed with Ford’s business. If she does it again, she’ll just whooped again. So Ford is out for now, what is his condition? Dawkins handles that by saying The Profits still have a match at SummerSlam. If you think Ford is going to miss the biggest party of the summer, that ain’t happening. They’re bringing the ruckus AND the Solo cups! Because the Profits are up, and #WeWantTheSmoke! Will Ford be ready to stand with the fam?
Raw presents a special edition of The VIP Lounge.
The Hurt Business is in the ring and MVP has the mic. “Tonight is a very different episode of the VIP Lounge.” He is not in a celebratory mood, so no popping bottles. He wants to pop someone in the mouth. Not to mention popping ligaments and tendons. MVP never misses a chance to be the guy who says “I told you so,” so he tells us so! The conspiracy is real! Lights flickering, a generator on fire, during MVP’s match! MVP is a professional of the highest order! How is he to win in “unsafe working conditions?” Apollo didn’t beat MVP, the lights beat MVP. Where is Apollo Crews? Apollo makes his entrance to confront these accusations!
Is MVP serious? He always has to make excuses. Losing a match is someone else’s fault. Losing the beautiful new belt, it’s someone else’s fault. Oh, like the excuses Crews made not to be at Extreme Rules? A fighting champion who takes time off because of a bad neck. Apollo says Lashley did all that for MVP so that it’d turn out that way. But Apollo does know MVP is hurting now that Apollo has the NEW United States Championship belt MVP paid THOUSANDS of dollars for! Apollo thinks that’s funny? That’s Apollo’s problem. MVP was just trying to help the “serial bad decision maker.” Like the decision to come out here alone. MVP, you have a point. Apollo makes bad choices. But he’s allowed to. Oh? Because Apollo is a bad, bad man.
In fact, MVP says he doesn’t care about Apollo? Or about his family? Well Apollo doesn’t care about Benjamin or Lashley. But he does care about MVP. Apollo promises that at SummerSlam, the lights going out will be MVP’s! The Hurt Business rushes Apollo but Apollo gets in to DECK MVP! And then he THROWS A COUCH! Apollo dares someone to do something, but Raw goes to break!
Apollo Crews VS Shelton Benjamin w/ The Hurt Business!
Raw returns and the Gold Standard steps to the United States Champion! They tie up, Apollo wrenches, and hammerlocks to a headlock. Benjamin powers out, things speed up but Apollo blocks a hip toss. Benjamin blocks back but swings into the waistlock. Apollo lifts but Benjamin gets away, and Apollo says it was that close to the Crews Missile. They circle again, Benjamin powers Apollo to a corner and rams his shoulder in. Benjamin knees low, whips Apollo cornet o corner, but Apollo goes up and over and handsprings to dropkick Benjamin down! Apollo rallies with elbows and a snap suplex! Cover, TWO! Apollo keeps his cool as he brings Benjamin up again. Benjamin escapes the military press to mule KICK!
Benjamin lifts Apollo to POWERBOMB him hard and fast! Cover, TWO! The Hurt Business knows to keep on him so Benjamin covers again, TWO! Benjamin drags Apollo up, turns him and hits a neckbreaker! MVP taunts Apollo as Benjamin throws Apollo out. The ref tells the Hurt Business to stay back but MVP and Lashley taunt Apollo. Benjamin goes out whole MVP mockingly asks if Apollo feels alright. Benjamin pushes Apollo around then knees him low! Benjamin bumps Apollo off the apron while putting him in. Benjamin stalks Apollo to ropes to choke him! The ref counts, Benjamin lets off, and Benjamin looms over him. Benjamin wraps Apollo up in a chinlock and grinds him down.
Apollo endures, the crowd rallies up, but MVP tells Apollo to quit. Apollo fights up and fights out to then ROCK Benjamin with rights! Benjamin gives them back, whips Apollo to ropes, but Apollo LEAPS to clobber Benjamin! The crowd fires up as Benjamin and Apollo stir. Apollo stands with the ropes to enziguri Benjamin down! Benjamin clutches a knee but Apollo drags him up to power him to a corner! Apollo rams his shoulder in over and over, MVP protests but Apollo runs to corner splash! Apollo lifts Benjamin but Benjamin resists. Benjamin runs into a SPINNING POWERSLAM! Standing moonsault, cover, TWO!
The Hurt Business grows worried for Benjamin while Apollo keeps his cool. Benjamin bails out to rest, but Apollo builds sped! Lashley swipes at him so Apollo BOOTS Lashley away! Benjamin clobbers Apollo and rolls him up! Benjamin wins!
Winner: Shelton Benjamin, by pinfall
Lashley wants to go after Apollo with the full nelson, but MVP tell him to stop. Apollo needs to be healthy for SummerSlam so they can settle this. Lashley reluctantly shoves Apollo away and MVP says he’s just trying to look out for him. But MVP tries to sucker punch Apollo, only to get DECKED by the enziguri! Apollo gets out with his championship belt. Will MVP win back the belt he bought at the biggest party of the summer?
The Retribution has already done damage!
They’ve thrown cinder blocks through windows! Security tries to get them to stop but they don’t listen, and SMASH the windows apart with the bricks! And then they run off to do who knows what else. Is anyone safe from the Retribution?
Backstage interview with Mickie James!
The six-time women’s champion is back with big news! Mickie is excited to be back and wants to help lead the locker room. If you don’t think she has gold on her mind, then you’re sadly mistaken. But then Lana and Natalya walk in, obnoxiously laughing and wearing matching business dresses. Sorry, is Mickie that delusional? How can she lead the Women’s Division without a Tiktok account? Don’t get them wrong, Mickie is one of the best in-ring, but Natty is THE best so… And if Mickie isn’t aware, Natty is the winningest woman, the Serena Williams of WWE. Best of All Time! The #BOAT!
Wow, Natty. Mickie expects this from Lana because she’s Lana but Natty has a legacy all hero win. Natty worked so hard of the Hart family coattails. Oh, and boats sink. Hashtag that! Mickie leaves but the new besties say Mickie is rude. Will they be the ones getting a rude awakening now that Mickie’s back?
Ivar talks up Raw Underground with Demi Burnett!
Erik comes by with Ricochet and Cedric Alexander. They’ve been looking all over for him! They’re all gearing up for their match. Don’t be mad at Ivar, they were just talking. She didn’t mean to keep him so long, he’s just so cute! Erik? Not so much. But good luck! Alexander and Ricochet try not to laugh at Erik but they can’t help it. But how does their match turn out? Also, has Demi already ditched Garza for the Warbeard? We find out, after the break!
8 Man Tag: Ricochet, Cedric Alexander & The Viking Raiders VS Akira Tozawa & Ninjas!
The fast and the furious team up with the big and the strong as they take on the Stamina Monster and his shinobi squad! Will the WWE 24/7 Champion survive the raid?
The teams sort out and Ricochet will start against Ninja 1! CRANE KICK! Tag to Alexander and they give him a double stomp complete shot! Ninja 2 runs in but gets double KNEES! Alexander tags Ivar in, they work together as Erik tags in. Ninja 2 gets knee after knee! The Vikings stare at Tozawa as Ninja 3 refuses to go in. Tozawa orders his henchman to fight, but Ninja 3 thinks they should just go. Tozawa agrees, and the ninjas are in retreat. Ninja 2 gets THOR’S HAMMER!! Cover, The Vikings and friends win!
Winners: Ricochet, Cedric Alexander & The Viking Raiders, by pinfall
Tozawa has his title in his clutches, but Ninja 3 calls in a referee? Because this is R-TRUTH!! Truth rolls Tozawa up, Truth wins!!
Winner: R-Truth, by pinfall (NEW WWE 24/7 Champion)
THIRTY EIGHT TIMES!! Truth has his baby back and then hurries out because the chase is on! Will Tozawa get his title back from Truth before the night is over? And what happened to the real Ninja 3?
Backstage interview with Drew McIntyre!
The WWE World Champion had strong words for Randy Orton. Does he stand by those words? And will he be watching Ortn’s match with Kevin Owens? For starters, McIntyre wouldn’t have said what he said if he didn’t mean it. But McIntyre had an epiphany. The reason Orton has been keeping the knowledge to himself and taking out legend after legend is simple: Self-preservation. Orton wants to make sure he’s on top for as long as possible. He ripped the torch from Mick Foley’s hand, and holds onto it so that he isn’t a thing of the past. McIntyre tells Orton that he’s had more original thoughts. First, he will rip the torch from Orton’s hand. Second, he’ll kick Orton as hard as he can. And third, Orton will realize evolution has passed him by.
Charly has one more question. What if Kevin rips the torch away first? In that case, McIntyre and Kevin can have a long talk about the future of Monday Night Raw. What happens to the proverbial torch as the summer heats up?
Liv Morgan w/ Ruby Riott VS Peyton Royce w/ Billie Kay!
The reunion tour has begun, all thanks to The KO Show! The Riott Squad got one over on the IIconics but things are far from over! Will the LIVing Embodiment keep things going as she takes on the Venus Flytrap?
As always, the IIconics have mics to speak before the match. “Aww, how cute is this, Billie?” The Riott Squad is back and… Better than ever? Liv is two-faced while Ruby’s mood changes more than the color of her split ends! While they campaigned to be Raw’s Drama Queen, the IIconics campaigned for the future, and the future is IIconic. Peyton gets in and this match begins!
Liv fires off forearms, then blocks a kick to trip Peyton up! Liv rains down rights but Peyton gets away. Liv brings her up but Peyton knees Liv back. Peyton throws Liv out and then goes out to fetch her. The ref has Ruby and Billie stay back as Peyton clubs Liv. Liv blocks the apron bump to give it back! With interest! Liv puts Peyton in at 5, but Billie creeps closer. Liv gets in, and runs into the spinning heel kick! Peyton drags Liv up and says Ruby doesn’t care about her! Peyton clubs away on Liv, then shoves her down. The crowd rallies for Liv and Liv spins around to waistlock and O’Conner roll! TWO, Liv and Peyton ROUNDHOUSE each other down!
Billie and Ruby coach their friends up while the crowd rallies. Liv gets to a corner while Peyton grits her teeth. Peyton runs into a boot, but Ruby gets Billie to back off. The ref sees Ruby on the apron, Liv is confused, Peyton CLOBBERS Liv! ANARCHY SUPLEX! Or as Peyton calls it, Deja Vu! Cover, Peyton wins!!
Winner: Peyton Royce, by pinfall
A miscommunication costs the squad and Liv is again paranoid about who Ruby is. The IIconics let the frenemies fall apart again as they leave. Will the IIconics leave them behind in the Women’s Tag Division rankings?
Shane checks in with Jordan Omogbehin, the Raw Underground bouncer.
Anything going on? No, it’s just fine. Nice. Now, it’s almost time to begin tonight’s festivities. Shane enters the Underground, what happens in this week’s third hour?

Riddick Moss returns to Raw in the opening fight as Shane welcomes us back. Moss counters a takedown with a facelock, but still gets SLAMMED! Moss scrambles up as “Cal Boom” has him in a clinch. They get up, go around, fight for control, and Moss gets the facelock! They go around, off the ring and into some spare paneling! Moss throws body shots and RAMS his opponent in return! And again! They end up back at the ring, clinch onto the mat, but Cal gets loose. They tie up again, Cal tries a cover but Moss moves. Moss throws body shots, they each pull hair, but Moss rakes eyes! And HEADBUTTS! Moss fires off more hands and DECKS Cal! The ref and Shane call it, Moss wins it!
Winner: Riddick Moss
The Regiment is back and tougher than ever! Will he rise to the top of this strange other division?

We return from break for more Raw Underground!
Dabba-Kato is back! Let’s see if he’s still got it this week? The bell rings and his considerably smaller opponent circles around him. Dabba take a kick to give a kick! His opponent keeps fighting but Dabba drags him up to clinch and SLAM him down! And then he drags the man up to knee and SLAM again! Dabba keeps going, with a NUT CLAW!? That’s not against the rules but it’s just plain mean! And then Dabba DECKS the man! Dabba wins!
Winner: Dabba-Kato
But Shayna Baszler steps up!? The Queen of Spades wants after the big man but Shane tells Dabba to cool off. Shayna gets to have someone fresh for her opponent. Who steps up to the former MMA Horsewoman? NO one? So Shayna just DECKS a rando in the crowd and tosses her in! Shayna facelocks, turns and hammers away! The woman’s friend goes in to drag Shayna off, but Shayna just dumps her down and rains down rights! Another woman comes in, she tries for a sleeper, but Shayna throws her right off! Shayna has the arm but her opponent headscissors! Shayna hammers away, powers out of the squeeze, but sees she is in a 3v1 situation.
The other two go after her together, but Shayna fights them all off. Shayna DECKS the third opponent, judo throws the second, and ROUNDHOUSES the first! SPINE BUSTER and hammer fists for the third, KIRAFUDA KLUTCH! The woman taps, Shayna wins!
Winner: Shayna Baszler, by submission
That’s this week’s Raw Underground, tune in for more carnage next week!
Retribution causes more trouble!
They’ve tipped someone’s car over! And are beating it up more! They hurry off before anyone comes along, will they leave Raw without taking over like they did on SmackDown?
Kevin Owens VS Randy Orton w/ Ric Flair!
The Prizefighter takes a stand not only for himself, but for those the Viper has targeted and attacked. Will Kevin still be able to fight after going a round with the Legend Killer reawakened?
Raw returns and Kevin makes his entrance. The bell rings and Kevin circles with Orton. They tie up, Kevin powers Orton to ropes but Orton turns things around. Kevin turns it back around and into the corner, but Orton turns that back again. Kevin powers out of the corner, Orton headlocks and grinds Kevin down. The crowd rallies as Kevin endures and powers out. Orton runs Kevin over, things speed up, and Kevin runs Orton over! Orton bails out and Kevin wonders where he’s going. Flair grins, he likes the fire Kevin has. Kevin goes after Orton but Orton drags him out. Kevin counters punches, throws haymakers and chops, but Orton pokes eyes! Orton follows Kevin around the way to European Uppercut.
Orton brings Kevin to the desk but Kevin hits back and bounces Orton off the desk first! Kevin hears the ring count and puts Orton in at 8. Kevin stomps Orton to a corner, mocking the Legend Killer while getting angrier. The ref backs Kevin off, Kevin copies the “WOO~!” Orton hits back and CHOPS Kevin in the corner. Orton whips Kevin but Kevin reverses. Kevin dodges Orton on the return and kicks, but Orton denies the stunner! Kevin denies the RKO to SUPERKICK! Orton flounders into a corner, Kevin runs in to CANNONBALL! Orton bails out and Flair is worried. Kevin has to slow down because of a bad shoulder, but Orton ends up by barriers. Kevin CANNONBALLS again! The Viper is down as Raw goes to break!
Raw returns as Kevin stomps Orton down. Orton sits up to get haymaker after haymaker, and then goes to a corner. Kevin CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS, and Orton scrambles away. Kevin mocks Flair more as he gives more CHOPS! Kevin throws haymaker after haymaker, but the ref backs him off. Orton bails out but Kevin hurries after. Kevin whips but Orton reverses to send Kevin into steel steps! The bad shoulder feels worse and Flair just talks trash to add on. Orton drags Kevin up to bounce him off the Plexiglas! Orton gets in at the count of 8 but goes out to refresh things. He drags Kevin back up to whip into more steel steps! Now Orton leaves Kevin behind and at the mercy of the count.
Kevin manages to sit up at the count of 5, and drags himself in at the count of 7. Orton is right on him by yanking the bad arm and stomping a leg! Orton circles Kevin as he stomps, a favorite tactic of his. Orton scrapes his laces on Kevin’s face, another favorite! He drags Kevin around and stomps him in the stomach! Orton digs his heel in, and he leaves Kevin gasping as he runs. Orton drops a knee right on the head! Cover, TWO! Flair is amused as Orton wraps Kevin in a chinlock. Kevin endures and the crowd builds to a rally. Kevin fights but Orton rakes eyes! Kevin still fights up, fights back and wrenches to forearm! Kevin throws more but Orton CHOPS!
Orton whips, Kevin kicks back but Orton EuroUppers! Kevin clotheslines and back sentons! Flair grows worried again as the crowd fires up for Kevin! Kevin stands, Orton follows, but Kevin whips. Orton grabs ropes to bail out again. Kevin pursues but Orton catches him for the ANNOUNCE DESK BACK SUPLEX! Kevin tumbles down while Orton catches his breath at ringside. The ring count climbs but Orton drags Kevin up and in. Cover, TWO! Kevin refuses to stay down! Orton grows annoyed and he stalks Kevin to a corner. Orton brings Kevin up to the top rope, throws haymakers, then climbs up to join him. Kevin fights back with a headbutt but Orton hits back. They brawl up top, Kevin headbutts Orton down!
Kevin adjusts quickly, to SWANTON BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Orton survives and Flair shouts for him to get up, but so does Kevin! Kevin mocks Orton’s slithering around as Orton stands! Kevin spins Orton around but no Stunner! Orton hits the RKO!! Cover, Orton wins!
Winner: Randy Orton, by pinfall
The Apex Predator weathered the storm and takes Kevin down! Flair celebrates with Orton by raising his arm, but will we see the same thing when Orton faces McIntyre for the title? Orton wants a mic to talk before leaving. He wants Flair to stick around a moment. “I would like to ask a favor of you, my friend.” The favor is for Flair to stay here and talk something out, but also celebrate. Flair doesn’t mind. We find out what Orton has on his mind, after the break.
Raw returns and…
Orton tells Flair that “I have every right to be upset with you, but I just can’t. I can’t be angry at the Nature Boy, Ric Flair.” Orton can’t find it in his heart to be pissed. This match wasn’t necessary. Orton was only in a fight with Kevin because of Flair’s ego. But Orton can’t be angry with Flair! This is just what the Dirtiest Player in the Game does! Orton has learned so much. Orton grew up with Flair around, and Flair has been there the last 20 years. Flair taught Orton so much, and is why Orton is still here after 20 years. But does Flair remember back in 2002 or 2003. Orton got himself in trouble in Illinois. No one came to help Orton, except for Flair. Flair bailed Orton got his “dumbass 22-year-old punkass” got himself into. Orton respected and loved Flair for that moment.
But Orton doesn’t respect or love Flair anymore. Because Flair is a liability to everything Orton is trying to do! Orton realized when he looked back. Orton knows why Flair took him under his wing. Flair was thinking Orton could be the son Flair wishes he had. Aw, what’s wrong, Flair? Are you going to cry? “C’mon, you old ass man,” all this energy he still has and yet all he can do is cry? FINE! Cry Orton a river! Cry like a little baby! This isn’t the Flair we all looked up to even just a few years ago. This isn’t the Flair that taught Orton everything he knows! That Flair wouldn’t need a pacemaker in his chest to keep his heart going. That Flair wouldn’t have slipped into a coma! THAT Flair wasn’t some “whore for the spotlight” like this Flair. This is not the same Flair, because this Flair is washed up.
In just two weeks, Orton goes to SummerSlam with an opportunity to take a world championship for the 14th time! That is all Flair needs to worry about and yet he worries about himself! Flair takes the mic from Orton very carefully, and says he is taking all this very personally. Flair hears Orton’s words, but he wants to tell Orton something. That Flair, the one Orton was with in the early 2000’s, that Flair is gone. Does Flair like the spotlight? Yes. Does Flair like to praise Orton as the greatest because he truly is? Yes. Does Flair want to share that spotlight with Orton? Who wouldn’t? Flair is 71, on Monday Night Raw. Flair has Hogan calling him, asking how it feels, and Flair says it feels great, because Flair is with Orton.
Flair is here because he wants Orton’s approval, to be by Orton’s side, and to be there when Orton’s wins 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th even! Flair wants Orton to break his record! Not John Cena with his own 16, but FLAIR’S 16! A record we all grew up on! Driving 3000 miles for $150! Flying who knows how much, city after city! Orton knows what that is because Orton was there! Orton was watching his dad on the road. No cellphones back then, Orton knows what that feels like! Flair wants Orton, who crawled up from the bottom to the top, became the greatest in the business today who Flair loves being with.
But if Orton wants Flair to get emotional, here’s someone Flair can’t get mad at. Flair can’t get mad at Orton. After 31 days of intensive care, a coma for 12 of them, when Flair woke up, he just wanted to tell those around him that he loved them, and to let those he loves know it. Flair called everyone, and that includes Orton. You need to be where Flair has been to know what that feeling is. Flair isn’t trying to take away from Orton. Flair is just having a good time with him. Flair is Charlotte’s Dad and Orton’s friend. Yes, this isn’t Ric Flair anymore. But Orton is his favorite, the one he wants to break the record. That’s all. Orton takes the mic, throws it away, and hugs it out with Flair. The crowd cheers that, but Orton LOW BLOWS FLAIR!!
The crowd boos now as Orton sets Flair down. Orton whispers to Flair that it’ll be alright. Orton forgives Flair, so he hopes Flair can forgive him. Because Orton looms over Flair, and the crowd starts to fear what’s coming next. Orton listens to the voices in his head as Flair barely sits up. The lights flicker but Retribution doesn’t come. Orton aims as Flair is on his hands and knees, and…! The lights go out but you can hear the PUNT KICK!! Orton just annihilated Flair in the literal dark of night!! Orton still comforts Flair, but here comes McIntyre!! McIntyre runs Orton off, and cannot believe how low Orton has sunk! “Even him?! You evil son of a b*tch!!”
Medics check on Flair while McIntyre glares at Orton. McIntyre vows everything is coming back around on Orton’s head, and that he will make sure to hurt Orton. Will the the Scottish Psychopath destroy The Legend Killer once and for all? Or will the Viper simply sink his teeth into a 14th world title reign?
My Thoughts:
This was definitely a wild Raw. We got a lot of powerful stuff out of the opening segment with Dominik now getting a form of No Disqualifications match against Rollins, only for his first official day on the job to be him getting kendo stick’d into ground beef. The cajones on him to accept such a segment. I don’t know if Dominik wins, but he’s at least got to take Murphy out of action at SummerSlam as some retribution. We also got great stuff out of the story between Bianca and the Profits and Vega’s stable. The matches were great, but the sweep by Bianca and Dawkins makes me feel like SummerSlam goes Vega’s way. The go-home next week will be the last bit of math, though, maybe Ford returns triumphantly as the final piece of the puzzle.
For the poisoning part of the story, I like that Vega is adamantly defending herself while Bianca doesn’t believe her. But I’m pretty sure Vega didn’t. It’s GARZA! And the reason why is because he thought he was poisoning Dawkins’ cup, as a way to get Dawkins to back off the girls Garza’s been flirting with! Of course, Demi seems to be playing the field, too, having flirted with Ivar tonight. The 8 Man Tag was pretty fun, but clearly it was a vehicle to the 24/7 Championship. Truth is back on top, baby! Though, with Raw Underground now being a thing, I really hope Truth “accidentally” runs into that area and then we get some reigns for Dabba-Kato and the superstars hanging around in there.
Though again, I kinda wish we weren’t watching Swerve and Brennan Williams be in there, after already seeing them both get jobbed out. I would’ve loved if there was a long game where those two finally decide to join the fun and then give us some of the best things yet in Raw Underground. Though that’s a tall order after seeing what they did this week with Riddick Moss, Dabba and even Shayna Baszler! I honestly thought Shayna was gonna fight Dabba, but it seems even Underground follows WWE’s no co-ed wrestling rule. I wonder if Shayna becomes a regular. A little disappointed Hurt Business didn’t at least check in, they’re the “new management.” Maybe after Apollo turned things around on them, they felt a bit too foolish and had to get MVP some ice. They still should’ve been hanging around, though.
We got some good stuff out of the Riott Squad story. At the same time that the IIconics bounce back, the squad is already stumbling. Though, I wonder if this isn’t a week too soon. Maybe it should’ve been Liv being there to counter Peyton while Ruby beats Billie, and then this. It gives the context that Ruby is willing to be helped by Liv but is screwing Liv over, at least in Liv’s mind, which is the whole point. Asuka and Bayley have an AMAZING match, and Bayley bringing up Kairi was really good story. If only Kairi wasn’t done with WWE (for the foreseeable future), she could be in the Triple Brand Battle Royal this Friday and WIN to at least get a shot at the SmackDown Women’s Championship, her first singles title opportunity in years. But Asuka wins so she gets her match with Sasha, and that is going to be amazing, too.
Retribution was far more juvenile tonight than they were on SmackDown. More light flickering, more damage of property, but no attempts at attacking superstars or taking over the PC. Yes, there were higher security measures but that’s all kayfabe and easily gotten around. Though, they technically do have a part to play tonight that I actually appreciated. We got a great main event out of Orton and Kevin, but of course Orton wins to stay strong. I could just feel Orton turning on Flair as Flair kept raising Orton’s hand in victory. That feeling only got stronger as Orton had Flair hang around and there was the commercial before a 15 minute final segment.
The promos between them were great, and the lights going down was a great way to censor/cover up Orton “kicking” Flair in the head. The crowd and commentary both being in stunned silence is great, but I also would’ve liked it better if a handful of crowd members just went nuts with anger. This is Ric Flair! Someone, anyone, should’ve screamed like it was their own father/grandfather. But McIntyre VS Orton has reached a new level, I can’t wait to see it all happen!
My Score: 8.6/10

PLAY BY PLAY
Hiroshi Tanahashi VS Jeff Cobb!
The Ace’s Final Road continues on, but it would seem the Imperial Unit has hit the end of his run in NJPW. Will the President give Cobb a proper sendoff? Or is there one last Tour of the Islands planned?
The bell rings and the fans rally up for “COBBU! COBBU!” Tanahashi nods, and Cobb is emotional hearing that. Cobb and Tanahashi circle, tie up, and Tanahashi waistlocks. But Cobb’s a bit too big to lift even for The Ace. Cobb walks over to the ROPEBREAK, and Tanahashi lets go. The fans applaud and the two reset. They tie up, Tanahashi wrenches and wristlocks, but Cobb powers through, wrenches and wristlocks in return, then hammerlocks to headlock. Tanahashi puts Cobb on the ropes, the ref counts, and Tanahashi lets go cleanly again. The fans applaud the continued sportsmanship, and the two reset again.
Cobb runs up, and he SLINGBLADES?! Cover, TWO!! The “Cobby Cat” strikes again but Tanahashi survives his own move. Cobb whips Tanahashi, Tanahashi grabs ropes, but Cobb runs up. Tanahashi BOOTS Cobb, runs up, but Cobb scoops! Cobb SLAMS Tanahashi, and then air guitars before the GACHIMUCHI- NO, Tanahashi avoids the moonsault! Then Tanahashi sets up, to MOONSAULT!? But Cobb moves so Tanahashi belly flops on the floor! The fans fire up while both men are pulling out all the stops. Cobb steps on Tanahashi, pretends he didn’t see Tanahashi there, and then brings Tanahashi up.
Cobb ROCKS Tanahashi with a forearm, then headlocks. Cobb brings Tanahashi to the ropes to show everyone as he messes with Tanahashi’s hair. Cobb then CLUBS Tanahashi, brings him around, and suplexes. Cobb holds Tanahashi up, the fans cheer as Cobb marches around with him, and then Cobb pops Tanahashi for a POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Tanahashi stays in this but Cobb stays on him with a GROUND COBRA! Cobb uses Tanahashi as the guitar, then CLUBS him in the ribs and chest! Cobb eggs Tanahashi on, and Tanahashi growls and rises up. Tanahashi fires body shots and forearms, but Cobb just HEADBUTTS back!
Tanahashi staggers away to a corner, and Cobb runs up, only for Tanahashi to dodge! Tanahashi dropkicks Cobb’s legs! Tanahashi then grabs one, and Cobb asks for mercy! Cobb apologizes, but Tanahashi says bye-bye! DRAGON SCREW! The fans cheer while Cobb clutches his leg. Tanahashi storms up on Cobb to fire more fast hands! Tanahashi then says, “MY POWER!” And he SCOOP SLAMS Cobb! The fans fire up as Tanahashi climbs the corner. Tanahashi hits the SUNSET SENTON! Cover, TWO! Cobb is tougher than that but Tanahashi gets moving. But Cobb ROCKS Tanahashi! Cobb winds up, he runs, but Tanahashi dodges the slingblade!
Tanahashi waistlocks, Cobb switches, but Tanahashi throws elbows. Cobb picks Tanahashi up to SLAM him down, and FALLING HAMMER! Cover, TWO! Tanahashi stays in this, but the GACHIMUCHI MOONSAULT hits! Cover, TWO!! Tanahashi survives the double impact, but Cobb looms over him. Cobb drags Tanahashi up, fires his own fast hand combo, then scoops to SLAM Tanahashi! Cobb grins as he looks to the corner. The fans fire up as Cobb hops up, air guitar and the pose, SUNSET FLOP as Tanahashi moves! Tanahashi runs, but Cobb grabs tights! Cobb reels Tanahashi in, but Tanahashi elbows free!

Cobb pops Tanahashi up, shifts around, and ATHLETIC- SLINGBLADE?!? Cover, TWO!! Tanahashi rises, the fans fire up, and Tanahashi runs to SLING- NO, Cobb gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX! But Tanahashi rises again! SLING- NO, Cobb scoops Tanahashi, but then pops him around again! TOUR OF THE ISLANDS!! Cobb roars, but he’s not done!! Cobb ripcords Tanahashi for the RIPCORD- CRADLE COUNTER!! TANAHASHI WINS!!
Winner: Hiroshi Tanahashi, by pinfall
Cobb got cocky and it to cost him! Tanahashi still tells Cobb he’s proud of him and of Cobb’s time here in NJPW. The two shake hands and hug it out while the fans cheer. Tanahashi’s Final Road rolls on, and The United Empire is here to say farewell to their friend. Cobb is handed a mic, and Chris Charleton is there to interpret. Cobb says he was not expecting to lose tonight. But first and foremost, he wants to thank the people that don’t even get seen by the fans. The NJPW staff, the music team, the NJPW World techs, the boys ‘n’ girls in the back, and all the wrestlers Cobb calls “family.” The fans applaud and Cobb says Chris’s Japanese is good.
Cobb takes a moment before he says he had a speech ready, but he’s kinda blanking out from the pressure. Online, there has been an outpouring of love, #ThankYouCobb. But really, he should be thanking each and every one of the fans. Cobb gets emotional again while Chris translates for him. Cobb knows it’s a bit of a crappy situation, but he wants Callum Newman to know, he’s got the ball, so run with it. Cobb lets Chris translate now, and then Cobb wraps by thanking the Empire members here, from Khan, to Templario, to “Jakob Change Your Name,” to Akira and to Callum.
And lastly, Cobb says this is not goodbye, but more see you later. Thank you, NJPW. Thank you, fans. Domo arigato gozaimasu! The fans cheer for Cobb one more time, and he bows deeply to them all. When and where will we see Cobb in the ring, any ring, again?
10 Man Elimination Tag: Los Ingobernables de Japon VS Yuya Uemura, Shota Umino, Taichi, Taka Michinoku & YOSHI-HASHI!
Well, not only is The Ace on his Final Road, but it would seem Tetsuya Naito and Bushi are on their own way out of NJPW. Then will they and their amigos start their Road to Wrestling Dontaku with a celebration? Or will the Heat Storm, Roughneck, Holy Emperor, Blue Playmaker and Headhunter make this anything but tranquilo?
The teams sort out and there’s a lot of entrance attire to put aside. Once Naito is done putting the pants away, LIJ fist bumps while Just4Guys/Hontai shake hands. Yuya steps up against Naito and the fans fire up already. Naito and Yuya stare down while the fans cheer “NA-I-TO! NA-I-TO!” Naito and Yuya step up, but then Naito tags to Bushi. The fans cheer Bushi on now, he circles with Yuya, but then Bushi tags out to Yota. The fans rally as Yuya and Yota feel things out, giving us a taste of their IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship match. They tie up, are in a deadlock, and Yuya wrenches Yota to a wristlock.
Yota slips around, full nelsons, but Yuya breaks that to hammerlock. Yota reaches back to facelock, then he wrenches again. Yuya rolls, wrenches, and arm-drags Yota down. But Yota headscissors! Yuya kips free, and the fans cheer the standoff. Yota and Yuya reset, tie up, and Yota headlocks. Yuya powers up and out, drops down, then hurdles over to arm-drag again! The fans cheer as Yuya has the armlock. Yota fights up, fights around, but Yuya brings him over and Taka tags in. Taka kicks Yota, CLUBS him, then stomps him.

Takagi HEADBUTTS Taka down, then suplexes high and hard! Cover, TWO! Takagi sits Taka up, runs to BLAST Shota, and the fans cheer! Takagi drags Taka up to HEADBUTT the arm, then wrench it. Tag to Bushi and he CLUBS the arm. Bushi CLUBS Taka down, stomps him, then has the legs. Bushi stands on Taka’s groin! Red Shoes reprimands, Bushi steps off at 4, then stomps Taka around. Tag to Naito and the fans rally as he brings Taka up. Naito cravats Taka, then Hiromu sits in the ropes. Hiromu claims Hontai is up to something, Red Shoes looks over, and Naito SMACKS Taka off Hiromu’s boots!
Taichi protests, but Naito throws hands on Taka. Taka tries to hit back but there’s not much there. Naito CLUBS Taka, but Taka fires a flurry! Naito just ROCKS Taka!

Yota gets in, kicks Taichi then whips, but Taichi BOOTS Yota! Takagi runs up, Taichi dodges to wrench and HOOK KICK! Hiromu gets up but Taichi BLASTS him! Bushi backs off, but Naito CLUBS Taichi. Naito whips, but Taichi reverses to RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Cover, TWO! The fans rally up while Naito crawls.
Taichi paces, waits on Naito to sit up, but Naito ducks the buzzsaw! Naito shoves Taichi, Bushi trips him up! Bushi tags in and stomps Taichi around. Bushi ROCKS Taichi, whips, but Taichi grabs ropes. Bushi runs up again but Taichi BOOTS him down! Taichi tags Hashi and Hashi drags Bushi up. Hashi ROCKS and CLUBS Bushi, whips him, but Bushi reveres. Hashi dodges to ELBOW Bushi, then runs, but into a DROPKICK! LIJ blasts Hontai’s corner again! Hashi rolls out under the bottom rope, Bushi BLASTS him off the apron, then Bushi builds speed. But Hashi gets back in to CLOBBER Bushi!
Hashi drags Bushi up, hooks a leg, but Bushi fights free! Hashi blocks a kick, ducks the enzigiri, but the REWIND HEEL hits! Bushi runs in from the corner, but Hashi stops the Code Breaker!

Takagi brings Shota up, suplexes, but Shota fights it so Takagi hits the TWIST ‘N’ SHOUT! Cover, TWO! Shota stays in this but Takagi stays focused. The fans join in with “OI! OI! OI!” and Takagi storms up on Shota. Takagi pump handles but Shota fights the lift. Shota switches, Takagi fires elbows, but Shota ducks! Shota wrenches and SWINGING NECKBREAKERS! The fans are torn but Shota drags Takagi up. Shota CHOPS Takagi in the corner, CHOPS, and CHOPS again! Shota whips corner to corner, runs up, and UPPERCUTS!
Shota reels Takagi in, FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO! Not quite perfect, but Shota clamps on an STF! Takagi endures, fights around, and he drags Shota along towards the ropes! ROPEBREAK, the fans cheer, and Shota lets go. Shota brings Takagi up, but Takagi denies the tornado DDT!

Shota reverses and reels Takagi in, TORNADO DDT! But Takagi’s right up, and he PUMPING BOMBERS Shota and himself up and out! DOULBE ELIMINATION!!
The fans go nuts as we go to 3v3 now. Yuya and Yota step back in and the fans rally. Yota grins, runs up, but Yuya dodges to CHOP, CHOP, CHOP! Yuya whips, Yota reverses, but Yuya goes up and over. Yuya arm-drags, then DROPKICKS! Yuya roars and the fans fire up again! Yuya reels Yota in but Yota fights the saido. Yuya still hits a BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO! Yuya drags Yota back up, clinches, but Yota fires elbow after elbow to get free. Then he SUPER- NO, Yuya blocks! Yuya swings, but into the BACKBREAKER! FLATLINER! But he avoids the stomp!

Winners: Los Ingobernables de Japon, by ring out
It came down to the leaders as the last men, but the Uncontrollable Charisma found a way to win for the team! LIJ regroups and Naito is given the mic. “Buenas tardes, Korakuen Hall!” The fans cheer, and Naito says, “First and foremost… Bushi, why don’t you say something to the fans?” The fans applaud and Bushi takes a quick drink of water before he takes up the mic. “Now that I have this time, I’ll say this. As previously announced by NJPW, my departure was a decision made after a lot of thought. I have no regrets.” The fans applaud that, and Bushi continues, “My feelings haven’t changed since I spoke here 10 years ago. It’s been a deeply fulfilling experience.”
The fans applaud that, too, and Bushi says, “This Dontaku tour is only getting started. When I step into this ring, I’ll show my gratitude in my own way. Thank you.” The fans applaud again, and Bushi hands the mic back to Naito. Naito also notes that the Road to Wrestling Dontaku has just begun. He and Bushi will be leaving NJPW after May 4th. “Whether Bushi and I will compete in this ring again or not, you already know, don’t you? Yes, the answer is of course, TRANQUILO! Assen na yo!” The fans applaud Naito being Naito even now. Naito then asks if they want to do the roll call, and the fans cheer!
Naito notes they haven’t had one at all this year, so this will be the first roll call of 2025. Are you ready? The fans cheer, so Naito says that the only way to close out tonight in Korakuen Hall is naturally with… “Bushi! Hiromu! Takagi! Titan! Yota! Y Naito! NOSOTROS! LOS! INGOBERRRRRRNABLEEEEES~! DE! JA! PON!!” The fans cheer the first LIJ roll call of 2025, but will we get more of them before May 4th? Will we get one on May 4th?
My Thoughts:
A great night to kick off the Road to Wrestling Dontaku, though of course it had to be on one of the busiest weekends of the year. Great goodbye match for Cobb with Tanahashi. It was a big awkward because while Tanahashi is still going to retire this year, Cobb was leaving, and so Cobb leaving NJPW trumps Tanahashi retiring, meaning Cobb had to lose. It’s the unwritten tradition of pro-wrestling. Very good farewell promo from Cobb, too, and I can’t wait to see where he goes next. Word is, it isn’t AEW, and perhaps the WWE rumors have still been true all along, they just leaked out way too soon.
And then very good 10 Man Elimination Tag in the main event, and it works out that LIJ won. Naito & Bushi needed a chance to address the fans about their own departure from NJPW, and so giving them the win so they can do a main event promo was fitting. In my estimation, I don’t see Naito going to any other company, even if it’s another Japanese based company. He’s done plenty in his career, he’s pushed his body pretty hard, so he needs to enjoy retirement, or at least make a lateral movement to be working with Young Lions in the NJPW Dojo as a teacher. Bushi, could probably keep going a little longer, or he could also call it a day on the other hand, only Bushi really knows how his body feels.
My Score: 8.8/10

WWE Women’s World Championship Triple Threat: Iyo Sky VS Bianca Belair VS Rhea Ripley!
The Evil Genius won this title off of The Eradicator, but perhaps only because The EST, who had won the Elimination Chamber match, ended up a bit of a distraction.

Sin City Street Fight: Damian Priest VS Drew McIntyre!
The Archer of Infamy has had enough of the Scottish Terminator blaming him for all his shortcomings since last WrestleMania. Now, they throw the rulebook out the window and fight like there’s no tomorrow. Will Priest send McIntyre South of Heaven? Or will McIntyre be guilty as sin in Sin City?
Fittingly, Drew McIntyre comes out as “Doomslayer,” from Doom: The Dark Ages. But just as fittingly, Priest has THE Kerry King of Slayer here to play his theme song live.

Drew returns to ROCK Priest! Drew SMACKS Priest off steel steps! And then off the English desk! Drew then POSTS Priest, goes back for more steel steps, and pulls those apart.
Drew has the smaller piece and he RAMS Priest! And RAMS him again! And then SLAMS it down on Priest’s back! Drew drops the steps, the fans fire up, and the ref checks on Priest. Priest sits up but Drew brings the steps back over, to SMASH Priest again! Drew borrows a fan’s phone? That’s his brother! Drew uses the phone to take a selfie and post it! Just like last year! Drew runs up to KICK Priest down, then pushes Priest in the ring. Drew goes looking under the ring, and he brings out a chair! Drew JAMS Priest in the ear! Drew then brings out TWO TABLES!

WWE Intercontinental Championship Fatal 4 Way: Bron Breakker VS Penta VS Finn Balor VS Dominik Mysterio!
The Badass Booty Nephew has been a dominate champion, and he’s had the dogs barking all over the world. But with this title comes a target, and now he’s in the biggest title defense he’s had yet! Will Bron make the most of the Steiner Math he worked out the other day? Will that 129.2% be trumped by #CeroMiedo? Or will this title soon belong to the Judgment Day?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if the numbers spell disaster at WrestleMania!

Open Challenge: Randy Orton VS ???
The Viper wanted to settle scores with The Prizefighter, but Kevin Owens needed major neck surgery, and now we don’t even know if Kevin will ever return to the ring. In the meantime, Orton still wants a match for his 20th, so he put it out there that anyone can step to him. Orton grabs a mic and he tells the fans, “Tonight marks my 20th WrestleMania! Ladies and gents, I said that I would be here at WrestleMania 41 ready to go. The only question now is, who is gonna come through that curtain? I’ll tell you one thing, whoever it is, they’re gonna get their WrestleMania Moment, and it’s gonna be courtesy of the three most dangerous letters in all of sports entertainment: R K O!”
Orton throws down the mic, paces inside the ring, and who answers the call? “Say his name and he appears… I believe in Joe Hendry!” That’s right! The TNA World Heavyweight Champion is making his WrestleMania debut, and everyone sings along with his song like they did with Voices! Orton isn’t quite sure what to make of this, but the fans are loving it! The bell rings, the fans chant “WE BELIEVE! WE BELIEVE!” as Orton and Hendry step up. Then R K- NO, Hendry rolls Orton up! TWO, and then Hendry… TURNS! Hendry smiles and Orton is again unsure what to do with that. The two reset and circle again.

Winner: Randy Orton, by pinfall
The Viper strikes, the Viper wins, and that’s a great way to cap off 20 years! But Orton does show Hendry respect by helping him stand back up. The fans cheer, Orton tells Hendry that all these people believe in him, and Hendry thanks Orton. Orton raises Hendry’s hand in respect, the fans cheer more, and then Orton RKOS!! Thanks for coming, Hendry! And then Orton… TURNS! Orton does his pose and the fans cheer. Will Orton only hit a new level of excellence on the other side of 20 years?
AJ Styles VS Logan Paul!
The Phenomenal One is just the newest of a long list of people that don’t like The Maverick. It isn’t Logan’s ability in the ring, it’s the fact Logan Paul is brash, obnoxious, and just downright arrogant, and that’s being nice. But will Styles use his own talent and ability to finally humble Logan? Or will Logan go from annoying to insufferable in the blink of an eye?
Logan of course vlogs his entrance with a selfie video, soaking up all the heat as he goes. Then things go multiscreen just so we can see Logan from all angles.

Stone Cold Steve Austin is here!
Vegas goes nuts as the glass shatters, and The Texas Rattlesnake rides out on a four-wheeler! He goes down the ramp, goes around the ring a couple times, but then rams into the barrier! Whoops! Maybe Austin had a couple Steveweisers before coming out. Austin grabs a mic to say, “If you’re havin’ a great time at WrestleMania, gimme a ‘Hell Yeah!'” “HELL YEAH!” Austin says, “Some o’ ya heard me, some o’ ya didn’t. If you’re having a great time at WrestleMania, gimme a ‘Hell Yeah!'” “HELL YEAH!!” Austin says he is out here to announce tonight’s attendance. It is officially 63,226! And Austin’s been in a lot of buildings just like this, and it just feels like way more than 63,226!
The fans cheer, and Austin demands a recount! Sometimes when you want a job done right, you gotta do it yourself. Everyone sit down and stay still so he can count. Austin actually starts counting! And every time, we get “WHAT?” Wait, are we gonna get 63,000 what’s?! Austin says nah, enough of that BS. 63,226 tonight, so the weekend total is 124,693 “solid ass cats!” Austin hopes everyone makes it home safely, and hopes everyone comes back for next year’s WrestleMania. “And that’s the bottom line, cuz Stone Cold said so!” The pyro goes off, and now Austin gets to have some Steveweisers! The fans cheer the beer bath, and Austin reloads for even more!
Austin goes back out to apologize to the fans behind the spot in the barriers he hit, then he chooses to walk back up the ramp. When and where will we see Stone Cold again?
Undisputed WWE Championship: Cody Rhodes VS John Cena!
It’s the moment of truth. The Rock wanted The American Nightmare to “sell his soul” so he could be living the easy life as The Final Boss’s Champion. Cody rejected the offer in the most direct way possible, only for the sixteen-time world champion to show his true colors. And now, seven weeks later, after both verbal battles and physical confrontations, these two will finally put it to the test: Will Cody Rhodes do the “right thing?” Or will he do what it takes to win? The Last Time is Now, but will it also be Cena’s SEVENTEENTH time as world champion?
For Cena’s entrance, his tron is boiled down to just black and white, and his name up in lights. His final WrestleMania, and Cena won’t give the fans the satisfaction of a flashy, over the top spectacle of an entrance. As for Cody’s entrance, there’s a lot of smoke, and then there are Motocross dirt bike riders going across the stage! Then, as they stop and stand in line, and as the smoke clears, Cody Rhodes is there, a brand new skull helmet on his head. It opens up like Ironman’s helmet! The fans sing along with Cody’s song, “WHOA~ OH~!” The pyro goes off and Cody continues down the ramp, looking out at the sea of people here in Las Vegas.
Cody stands on the corner for the second “WHOA~ OH~!” and pyro, then he gets a hug and kiss from wife, daughter, and mother. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and time to learn the difference between the first and the last!
The fans are already thunderous with their dueling, “LET’S GO, CENA!” “CENA SUCKS!” The bell rings, the fans fire up more, and the two circle. Cena and Cody take a moment to hear all of that energy from the WWE Universe. The two then tie up, go around, and Cody headlocks. Cena endures as Cody grinds the hold, then he powers up and out. Cody runs Cena over! Cena bails out, the fans are torn, and Cody asks if this is supposed to be #BigMatchJohn. Cena cools off while the fans continue to duel. Cena steps back into the ring, Cody eggs him on, and the two reset. Cena seems just annoyed by the fans at this point.
Cody and Cena tie up. Cody headlocks, then shifts, and hammerlocks. Cena goes to the ropes, the ref counts the break, and Cody lets go. Cena steps outside in a huff, and he wants Cody to back off. Cody backs up, Cena steps back in, and the fans just get fired up again. Cody and Cena tie up. Cody waistlocks, Cena ELBOWS free, then he headlocks. Cena hits a headlock takeover, as if to show he can wrestle. Cody headscissors, and he holds Cena down with the squeeze. Cena powers free, but Cody DROPKICKS him! Cena bails out again and is just frustrated now. Cody builds speed and DIVES! No more escaping the action for Cena!
Cody puts Cena in, storms up, but Cena DECKS Cody! Cena then headlocks, but Cody powers him to a corner. The ref reprimands and counts, but Cena sucker punches Cody! The fans are torn as Cena stomps away on Cody! Cena bumps Cody off buckles, then whips him to ropes. Cena BOOTS Cody down, a rare thing for Cena even when he was in his prime. Cena does a mocking bow, then he DECKS Cody again! Cena stomps Cody, drags him up and reels him in, but the fans seem to be fighting about something of their own. Cody pops free to fire hands! Cena stomps Cody’s foot! Cena then KNEES Cody in the head!
Cena seethes while Cody crawls to a corner. Cena stalks Cody, drags him up, and Cena whips corner to corner. Cody hits buckles hard, then falls to the mat. Cody crawls under the bottom rope, but Cena grabs the legs! ROPE GUILLOTINE! Cena talks trash on Cody while he tumbles to the floor, then Cena goes out after Cody. Cena puts Cody in the ring, stalks him again, and runs up to BOOT Cody down! Cena then takes aim, runs up, and LARIATS! And then he LARIATS again! Cover, ONE!! Cody shows he’s tougher than that, but Cena clamps on a chinlock. Cody endures as Cena squeezes tight.
The fans rally as Cody fights the hold, but Cena leans on him. Cody fights up, stands, and he fires body shots! Cena lets go, and Cody ROCKS him with haymakers! Cody backs Cena down, has him on the ropes then whips, only for Cena to reverse, scoop, and SIDEWALK SLAM! Cover, TWO! Cena goes to a corner, hops up, and waits on Cody to stand. Cena leaps to AX HANDLE! Cena brings out more classic pro-wrestling moves, and he bumps Cody off buckles! Cena hops up again, to AX HANDLE again! Cena climbs up again, Cody stands back up, and Cena AX- NO, Cody kicks low! Cody ROCKS Cena with more rights!
Cena pokes Cody in the eyes! And then Cena CLUBS and HAMMERS away on Cody! Cover, TWO! Cody stays in this, even as Cena resorts to some new lows. But Cena grins as he literally kicks Cody’s butt! Cena hears the fans duel even harder as he stands Cody up. Cena whips, Cody reverses, then Cody runs up, but into a BOOT! Cena goes up, to TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO! Cody survives as Cena turns it up a notch. Cena taunts the fans, taunts Cody, and then runs to get the SHOULDER TACKLES going! Now Cena brings out his classic move, but then he stops with just one. Cena dares Cody to get up, and then he runs to SHOULDER TACKLE again!
Cena grins as he’s basically toying with Cody now. Cody staggers up, Cena reels Cody in, and hits the SPIN OUT BOMB! The fans know what’s next in the “five moves of doom,” and Cena knows we know. Cena shakes out his hand, holds it up, and says- EYE POKE from Cody! Cena staggers, runs up on Cody anyway, but Cody goes up and over to SNAP POWERSLAM! The fans are torn as Cody powers up! DISASTER KICK! Cody pounds the mat, the fans rally and duel, and Cody runs to springboard and CODY CUTTER! Cover, TWO! Cena survives but Cody stays focused. Cody waits on Cena, to JAB! JAB! JAB!
Cody flips, flops, flies, but Cena drop toeholds! Cody fights off the STF, but Cena fireman’s carries! ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!! Cover, TWO!?! Cody survives, and Cena is actually amused! Cena decides to get back on track, and he tells the fans that “You Can’t See Me!” FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE! Then fireman’s carry, but Cody sunset flips! TWO! Cody is up, he counter punches Cena! Cody whips, Cena reverses, but Cody goes up and out, then ROCKS Cena! Cody goes up, up, but Cena hits the ropes! That trips Cody up onto his crossroads! Cena climbs, and he fireman’s carries Cody for a SUPER A A!!! Cover, TWO?!?!
Cody survives the Avalanche Attitude Adjustment, aka the Triple A, and Cena is honestly surprised. Cena decides to pull out all the stops and he climbs up the corner. Cody rises, Cena aims, SUPER FAM- POWERBOMB!! High stack, TWO!! Cody’s counter did not finish this, but he and Cena both rise up. Cody looms over Cena, then he runs to go up the corner! SUPER CODY CUTTER!! Cover, TWO!!! Cena survives and now Cody is rather surprised! Cody huffs ‘n’ puffs and rises up. The fans are torn as Cody shouts for Cena to get up. Cena rises, Cody dragon sleepers! But Cena wrenches free, fireman’s carry, A A!!! And then the S T F U!!
Cody endures, crawls, drags Cena with him, reaches out, but Cena drags Cody back! S T F U!! Cody endures again, crawls again, drags Cena along again, and reaches out again, only for Cena to drag him back again! And even further! But Cody turns over and BOOTS Cena, into the ref!! Cena fireman’s carries, Cody slips free to dragon sleeper! CROSS RHODES!!! But no ref to count this cover! Cody would’ve won twice over! Maybe even three times over! Cody realizes what happened, and he goes to check the ref while Cena crawls away. Cena rips a buckle pad away! The fans can’t believe he’s going this far! Cena goes back for Cody, but Cody ROCKS Cena!
Cody ROCKS Cena again and again, backing Cena down, But then Cena sends Cody into the bare steel! And then back in again! Fireman’s carry, ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!!! Cover, TWO?!?!? Cody survives and no one can believe this! Cena is beside himself, not sure what Cody is made of! WAIT! Is that Travis Scott?! Time to FE!N with the (honorary) Hardcore Champion! Cena grins as The Rock’s other guy makes his way out here! Scott is taking his time but Cena is happy to see him. Cena helps Scott to the apron, raises his hand in victory already, and then says one minute. Cena goes to fetch Cody, and Scott wants to take a shot!
The fans boo, but Cody elbows free! Cody chases Scott off, then he catches Cena! CROSS RHODES!! Cover, but Scott YANKS the ref out!! Cody is furious because the fix is in! Cody says he still owes Scott a receipt, and Scott says bet! Scott storms into the ring, talks some smack, and Cody dares Scott to take a shot. Scott tries, but Cody blocks it! CROSS RHODES for Travis Scott!! Cody pushes Scott out of the ring, but he’s a lot of deadweight. But wait! Cena has Cody’s belt! Cena winds up, BELT- NO, Cody blocks it! Cody says not today! They tug-o-war over the belt, Cody takes the belt away, and now Cena wants mercy!?
Cena wants Cody to remember: Is he going to do what’s right? Or is he going to do what it takes? Cody does hesitate, unsure which is which, and Cena LOW BLOWS him!! The fans are going nuts but Cena picks the belt back up. Cody rises to his feet, only to take the BELT SHOT!! Just like Elimination Chamber! Cena shouts to the ref, drags Cody to a cover, and the ref is in! The count begins, and CENA WINS!!!
Winner: John Cena, by pinfall (NEW Undisputed WWE Champion)
And there is history made! Cena did everything he had to, and even needed help from The Rock, but Cena now stands alone as THE historic 17-time WWE Champion! Scott celebrates with Cena, holding their belts high overhead. The pyro goes off as the number 17 is big and bright on the tron. The GOAT is truly THE GOAT, and Cody is living a nightmare. Will The Final Boss be pleased with what his champions did here tonight? Will Cena hold onto this title until he retires at the end of this year? Or can someone, anyone, prevent further tragedy on this twisted farewell tour?
My Thoughts:
Another great night for WrestleMania 41, especially when it had to follow that first great night. Opening with the Women’s World Championship is a good parallel to the World Heavyweight Championship opening yesterday, and that Triple Threat was awesome. All three women are obviously incredible, but they looked even more incredible than that in the match. I’m a little surprised Iyo won instead of Bianca, but that was a great sequence to give Iyo the win. Perhaps Bianca and Rhea split off to have their own feud on the road to Backlash, and who knows who Iyo faces in the meantime, but this is good stuff.
Priest VS McIntyre was an awesome Street Fight, though I’m surprised they didn’t go into the crowd. Maybe that’s for the better, we got that last night with Punk and Rollins in the Triple Threat. But as I figured, Drew wins because he kinda needs it most. Not sure where he goes from here, given where the championships have all ended up, but maybe Face-Heel dynamics won’t matter to Drew. And speaking of championships, great Fatal 4 Intercontinental Championship match. Of course Dom and Finn end up going after each other, but it is a touch surprising Dom turned on Finn. Granted, Finn was throwing that passive aggressive shade, so this is more like Dom standing up to Finn. Great sequence to finish and Dom winning is awesome stuff for him. I would think Dom VS Finn is an obvious feud going towards Backlash and another title match.
Joe Hendry being Randy Orton’s opponent was oddly not on the radar given all the speculation of Aleister Black, Rusev, and a few other possibilities, but it’s great for Hendry to make a WrestleMania debut. I did not think the match would be so quick, but when this is an obvious substitute for the planned Orton VS Kevin match, it does make some sense. Great win for Orton in that way, and of course he RKO’d Hendry a second time just for fun. Backlash being in St. Louis, it should be a given that Orton headlines that, maybe even for the Undisputed WWE Championship.
AJ Styles VS Logan Paul was good, but could’ve been better. Given both guys are so athletic, I’m surprised we didn’t try to make this more about who can fly higher, but it seemed to be more about combining the tech with the high spots. Well, that and testing if Styles can still bust out that aggression. Kross showing up to tempt Styles and Styles resisting was a fine beat, but a bit disappointing that that had to cost Styles for Logan to win. I fear that with Jey Uso as a new Face champion, Logan as the obvious Heel will challenge him for the next stretch.
Great women’s tag title match, and it makes a lot of sense for Becky to be the new tag partner. As I said yesterday, there’s great story for how NXT is going to go, with Lyra being friend to both Tatum and Becky and Tatum can be jealous of Becky. As for Liv & Raquel, they might want a rematch, they might have to deal with Bayley thinking it was them in the attack, who knows. This can also add to the Judgment Day story where Dom is now the only champion in the group, and he has to do his best to lead the group through encouraging Liv & Raquel.
That Stone Cold Steve Austin moment was fun, but then really awkward when he hit the barrier. I can kinda tell he maybe underestimated that turn in front of the desk. He was having fun, saying hey to commentary, and that essentially distracted him and caused the crash. Hopefully the fans there were okay. Seems rather silly they did that much just so Austin could announce the numbers for tonight and then give a “total” that isn’t accurate. Because duh, I would think the majority of the 61,461 or whatever it was came back for night two. So at best, they added another 2,000 people from last night.
And of course, the main event. As a match goes, it was purposefully not good, because of Cena’s line from weeks ago, how he’s going to “ruin wrestling.” I did like that Cena kinda tried to wrestle to stick it to the haters, but then he just resorted to a very Hulk Hogan “big muscular brawler” style. Travis Scott showing up is fitting, but a little disappointing The Rock didn’t make an appearance of any kind. But maybe that’s because fans wanted/expected that, and Cena’s also been about denying fans what they want… But ironically, plenty of fans wanted him to win 17 just for the intrigue, and here we are. Cody’s moment of hesitation costs him, Cena is champion again, and tomorrow night’s Raw is going to be a lot of fun.
