PLAY BY PLAY
The Raw Men’s team is in the ring!
They and Adam Pearce stand together as Pearce notes we saw one of the greatest main events in Raw history when Drew McIntyre became a two-time world champion against Randy Orton. And then we saw an end of an era at Survivor Series, were we all bid a final farewell to the Phenom, the Undertaker. But we also saw these superstars in the ring defeat SmackDown in a dominant clean sweep! Results like that deserve rewards, so one of these five might be McIntyre’s next challenger. That brings us to tonight. Pearce wanted to give every man of Team Raw a chance to stake their claim to a title match.
Pearce wants “Captain” AJ Styles to start but Sheamus speaks up. Firstly, Styles was not the captain. Secondly, Sheamus congratulates his friend, Drew McIntyre, on becoming a two-time WWE World Champion. They go way back, they’re bets of friends, and as last night goes, Sheamus being the most valuable member of the team- Styles cuts Sheamus off there. Most valuable? Yes, Styles is repeating his words so clearly he heard Sheamus right. Styles says that we all know McIntyre is Sheamus’ buddy, sure, but Styles says this is the “good ol’ boy” system. Not gonna happen! And furthermore, most valuable? N o, that’s the captain, Styles!
Keith Lee speaks up and does NOT hate to interrupt here, because not only did Keith save Styles, he pinned SmackDown’s captain, and so he is the obvious choice of the title opportunity. Styles complains but Riddle speaks up now. “I would like to be WWE Champion, and I think we all did last night was pretty sick.” Last night, Riddle beat King Corbin. That was sweet! Does that make Riddle the King Bro? Does he get a crown? Riddle would like to face McIntyre, win, and become WWE Champion so he could have that dope sword to go with the crown. Sheamus says Riddle is the dope. Fire Face, c’mon, bro. Riddle will win the title, get the sword and the crown, and let him hold them.
Don’t call Sheamus FIRE FACE! Yeah, no more nicknames. Skipper, didn’t you like yours? And so did Bro Lee, right? But Fire Face wasn’t even his first choice anyway. Though, Fire Crotch was already taken. What does Mongoose think? Pearce says “last but not least,” Braun Strowman will have his time to speak. What does Pearce mean by “last?” It is just a saying, Braun. Braun grabs Pearce and shouts “Do you know who I am?! Do you know what I’ve done for this company!?” The team tries to calm Braun down but he HEADBUTTS Pearce!! The team tells Braun that was uncalled for, but he tells them to back off. Will this jeopardize not only Braun’s chances at the title but his chances at being in the WWE?
Raw shares footage of an encounter between The New Day and the Hurt Business.
Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods were filming a video when The Hurt Business walked by. MVP taunts them as “The Worst of the Worst,” for having lost “embarrassingly” to the Street Profits. Shelton Benjamin says the Raw Tag Team Championships are missing prestige, which only gentlemen like the Hurt Business can bring. The Hurt Business want New Day to give them a championship opportunity tonight. Woods says they just did this, and remind him what happened? Cedric Alexander says it was what New Day got at Survivor Series. While the New Day were cosplaying like fools, Alexander was on the sidelines, and he hates being on the sidelines.
The Hurt Business crowds the New Day but Kofi tells them to back up a bit. Alexander says they’re not asking, they’re telling the New Day, they’re having a title match tonight. And then the spotlight will be where it belongs: on Alexander. Kofi says this was their day off, but MVP says there’s no such thing for champions. Woods accepts the challenge! Will the New Day rebound at the expense of the Hurt Business? We find out, next!

Adam Pearce walks out of the trainer’s room.
Charly Caruso asks how he is doing. The doc told him to take it easy this week. But obviously he has Braun escorted out of the building. He can’t speak to the consequences of Braun’s actions, but if it were Pearce’s call, Braun would be fired. Understandable, but now she asks who he was going to handle the WWE World Championship situation. Before he can answer, Bobby Lashley walks over and asks he wait to talk business. Lashley says he would never have done what Braun did. And second, Lashley was the only champion on this brand to win at Survivor Series. So perhaps they should discuss that before a decision is made. Pearce excuses himself from the interview to do just that. Is the United States Championship about to take over the world… title picture?
Raw returns, and Charly tries to interview Pearce again.
Lashley made a compelling case, but now- Randy Orton walks over…? Pearce needs another minute, Charly. Clearly the Viper wants to add to the conversation.
Backstage interview with Lana.
The Ravishing Russian went from being smashed through a table nine weeks in a row to being Team Raw’s SOLE SURVIVOR! How is she feeling? She is so shocked and happy! That was the greatest moment in her career, she feels on top of the world! Well, the Raw Men’s Team won and are in line for titles, so perhaps Lana will get a rematch with Asuka? She can’t even think about that right now. She wants to live in the moment. If she’s dreaming, don’t wake her up! Will Lana make dreams come true soon enough?
Charly returns again to talk with Pearce.
Pearce has spoken with Lashley and with Orton, what is his decision now? He has come to a solution: everyone has made a claim, that is what he wanted. But this needs to be settled in the ring. Three 1v1 matches will determine the entrants in a Triple Threat #1 Contender’s match, the winner facing Drew McIntyre for the title! And the first one tonight: (Matt) Riddle VS Sheamus, and that is NOW!

Raw presents an all new Firefly Fun House!
Bray Wyatt and Alexa Bliss welcome us back! Tonight is about something truly evil! Vile! Disgusting! Repuslive! It’s “friendship.” Ew~! Friends will always let you down! One minute, you’re best buds, playing ball, skipping stones, burning the midnight oil together to solve a puzzle. Then the next minute, they’re burning other things… Wyatt still gets flashes of what Orton did. But trust Bray when he says friends are no good. Just like Alexa’s former friend and tonight’s opponent, Nikki Cross.
Ribbit, pay no attention to this, Bliss. You can’t let a friend like Cross hop away. Who da F is you? This is the Friendship Frog, of course! And he believes friendship lasts forever. Is that so? Indubitably! Well Alexa should show the frog what she’ll do to her “friend,” Nikki. Alexa asks for a little help, and Bray whispers in her ear. Those scary eyes return! This doesn’t seem very friendly. Alexa bashes him with the branding stick! Friendship Frog is now pudding. That’s enough. Now please, join us in a moment of silence for the frog. A video shows the frog growing up from tadpole to pollywog to full fledged frog. He played baseball, graduated from college, and “Always eat what bugs you” was his senior quote in his yearbook. And of course, his debut and final appearance on FFH. He was 40?
Friendship Frog was a fine amphibian. A real shame he… croaked. HAHAHAHAHAHA! Okay, bye~! See you later, Nikki! Um… Will Nikki end up looking like Friendship Frog before the night is over?

MVP the OG! “Sup, dude?” No fist bump? Okay. But what’s up with “Big Bobby?” Riddle was hoping to wish him luck tonight. Well Lashley has to get ready for his qualifier. What does Riddle want? Oh that’s right, Lashley is against Keith Lee. Probably one for the ages, bro. But question: Riddle has a million ideas for business investments. Everyone loves what? Pizza. What else does everyone love? Yogurt. So therefore, pizza flavored yogurt. And that is just the tip of the iceberg! Riddle suggests mixing yogurt with “prot” and it’s BROGURT! Riddle has ideas for days!
No, stop. MVP can’t believe Riddle thinks Lashley has time to listen to all this. First thing’s first, stop saying “bro.” Second, MVP appreciates the spirit, so get all those great ideas and maybe come back with them in a couple weeks. Like Shark Tank! Yes, exactly like that. If they like his ideas, maybe they will do business. If they don’t, they’ll do some business. Riddle isn’t what the difference is, but will the All Mighty and the Limitless One tear down the ThunderDome with their qualifier?

What is he doing?! Now Lashley DEFINITELY lost this match! Keith DECKS MVP and finally catches his breath. But perhaps that was a business decision to spare Lashley an actual defeat. One way or another, Keith is heading to the #1 contender’s match! Who will join the Limitless Bros in that epic opportunity?
Alexa Bliss VS Nikki Cross!
Perhaps two of the greatest friends in modern WWE history, with multiple tag title reigns. Nikki wouldn’t know what she’d be without Alexa. But then, when Alexa was without Nikki, The Fiend pounced, and now the Goddess is but a proxy for the madness inside the fun house. Before making her entrance, Nikki tells Sarah not to ask her any questions. Nikki doesn’t give up on friends. Alexa is the one who gave that up. We’ve all seen what’s going on here. Nikki has been trying to help Alexa free herself.
But she’s done trying. Alexa made it clear she no longer wants help, or Nikki. Message received. Alexa can have The Fiend. Nikki is sick and tired of worrying about this. The only thing she cares about now, is beating the FIEND out of Alexa! Will Nikki win this match against the friend she lost?
Raw returns and Alexa makes her entrance, as twisted as it is now. The bell rings and Alexa smirks at Nikki as Nikki shouts “What is wrong with you?!” Nikki grabs at Alexa but Alexa is playing around. Alexa slaps Nikki’s hands away! Hot hands, she wins! Alexa then dodges Nikki and waves at her. Nikki runs in but into a drop toehold! Alexa then bails out and Nikki gives chase! Are they playing tag now? Alexa gets back in and she teases Nikki. Nikki drags Alexa out and headbutts low! And then CLOBBERS her! Nikki seethes as she drags Alexa up and into the ring. Nikki runs corner to corner at the laughing Alexa to stomp away on her! The ref counts, Nikki lets off at 3.
Nikki cools off, only to stomp another mudhole in! She lets off at 4, drags Alexa up and reels her in for a lariat! Nikki drags Alexa by her arm but Alexa laughs as Nikki CLOBBERS her again! Alexa doesn’t seem to take this serious as Nikki THRASHES her about! Nikki lets off because it’s still Alexa, but she shouts, “LISTEN!!” Nikki thrashes Alexa more and that got Alexa to stop laughing. Nikki DROPS down on Alexa, covers, TWO! Alexa scrambles to a corner, Nikki runs in to BASEMENT CROSSBODY! Alexa gets up slowly but Nikki fires off forearms! The ref counts, Nikki lets off, and then Nikki throws Alexa down! Alexa starts to cry?! She’s begging Nikki to stop, and seems surprised to be in the ring, wearing what she’s wearing.
Alexa asks Nikki what’s going on, but Nikki is after her again! The ref has Nikki let off, and again Alexa asks what’s happening. Why are they fighting? Why is she in this outfit? Nikki, please, help her! Nikki doesn’t know what to do now that Alexa is sobbing. Nikki comforts her friend, Alexa apologizes, but then hits a COMPLETE SHOT! Was it just an act?! Cover, Alexa wins!!
Winner: Alexa Bliss, by pinfall
As if this new Alexa wasn’t twisted enough! She played on the heartstrings of her best friend and took the victory out from under Nikki! Will Alexa continue to toy with Nikki until Nikki breaks?
Raw says #ThankYouTaker
The tribute highlight reel plays again, documenting the 30 years, from 11/22/1990 to just last night at Survivor Series and the #FinalFarewell. There will never be another.
WWE World Championship Contender Qualifier: Randy Orton VS AJ Styles w/ Jordan Omogbehin!
Practically a PPV main event in itself, the Viper and the Phenomenal One both want that WWE World Heavyweight Championship back around their waist! Orton only just lost it, will he get one step closer to having it back again? Or will Styles and “O-moss” be the ones joining Riddle and Lee next week?
Raw returns again and Styles makes his entrance. The bell rings and the two circle. They tie up, Styles rolls Orton, ONE! Oklahoma roll, ONE! Orton gets away and Styles backs off with a big grin on his face. Styles and Orton circle again, approach and Orton kicks low! Orton CLUBS Styles, whips him but Styles ducks, slides under but runs into an uppercut! Orton stomps Styles’ leg, scrapes his laces off Styles’ face, and stalks him to a corner. Styles throat chops back! Orton sputters while Styles storms over and rams into him! And again! The ref counts, Styles lets off but brings Orton up to whip to ropes to dropkick him down! Cover, TWO!
Styles keeps his cool as he gets Orton back up. Orton pokes Styles in the eye! Orton smirks as he drags Styles up to throw him out, then stalks behind him. Orton throws more EuroUppers on Styles, then whips him, into Jordan! Jordan keeps Styles from falling, and even pops him up to the apron and Styles sliding KNEES Orton down! Orton staggers, Styles goes out and gives him the back suplex to the desk! Orton’s move is used against him as Raw goes to break!
Raw returns and Orton is after Styles on the top rope with haymakers! Styles ends up in the ropes an don the second buckle, but Orton drags Styles up to the top! Styles slips through to trip Orton up! Orton hits a buckle and Styles CHOP BLOCKS a leg out! Orton clutches his leg and Styles stomps away on him! Styles hits a knee breaker then goes after the leg with a toehold and wrench! Orton reaches for ropes but Styles drags him away, for another knee breaker! Styles cranks on the leg but Orton pulls hair. The ref counts, Orton has to let go and Styles goes after the leg harder. Styles has the leg bent back even more but Orton CLUBS away on Styles’ chest! Styles lets go of the leg and Orton hobbles up, only for Styles to be right after him again!
Orton throws straight rights and Styles staggers away. Styles gets the leg again and rolls Orton! Orton rolls through to stomp Styles down! Orton drags Styles up by his hair again, hangs Styles out to dry on ropes, and Styles bounces and flops down! Cover, TWO! Orton grows annoyed with Styles but hobbles back up. Orton drags Styles up by hair, reels him in, and suplexes, but Styles slips out to CHOP BLOCK again! Styles fireman’s carries but Orton elbows free to get the BACK2BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Orton grows frustrated but he still looms over Styles. He brings Styles up and puts him through the ropes! Styles escapes that, kicks the leg then catches Orton to roll him!
Orton fights off the Calf Crusher but Styles CRANKS hard back! Orton endures as he reaches, but Styles pulls back harder! Orton grabs ropes and Styles lets go before a count. Styles hobbles, but he runs back at Orton, into the SPINNING POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Orton watches Styles rise on wobbly legs, but Styles denies the RKO! Styles ENZIGURIS Orton down! But Orton flops out of the ring to save himself! Styles aims, slingshots, but Orton avoids the forearm to trip Styles up! Styles bounces off apron, Orton puts him back in, but THE FIEND IS HERE! He pokes his head out but then disappears! Orton hurries back into the ring, looks around again, but runs into a boot from Styles!
Styles prepares his forearm, springboards but Orton trips him up! Orton pulls Styles through, DRAPING DDT! Orton hears the voices in his head, but The Fiend starts turning off lights! And then the lights come on with the red, and The Fiend is right behind Orton!! Orton freaks out, but then the lights go down and The Fiend is gone again! Styles is aimed at Orton, springboards in, PHENOMENAL FOREARM!! Cover, Styles wins!
Winner: AJ Styles, by pinfall (advances to the Triple Threat Contender’s Match)
Orton’s past comes back to haunt him, and cost him! Styles moves on, making the already limitless Triple Threat into a phenomenal one! And Bray laughs at Orton from the shadows. Will Bray make sure Orton pays in full for what he did oh so long ago? As for Styles, will he be able to take advantage of a Triple Threat situation with Keith Lee and (Matt) Riddle?
My Thoughts:
What a great Raw to follow Survivor Series! Amazing, even! Though, no Retribution was interesting. Maybe they’ll make a big deal of it next week. But we got a great bit with the Hurt Business and New Day. The set-up to the tag title match made sense, as I expected for many of the champions tonight. The match-and-a-half they had was great, too, and it worked out for Hurt Business to have egging on New Day backfire. I’m sure the feud will continue, and I have a feeling TLC, in perhaps a Ladder match will end up being how it ends. For that matter, Lana’s story for the year has to end with her winning a Tables match. She didn’t go through a table tonight, and she really only got an assist in the tag match we ended up with. I feared this about a month ago, but will Lana and Asuka end up a team against Nia and Shayna in a tag title match? Will Lana’s first title will be a tag title alongside Asuka? A bit of a bittersweet thing, I suppose.
The story of Alexa and Nikki went to a new level tonight. That was evil genius for Alexa to “return” as a way to trick Nikki. I am even more adamant about their part in this having a Firefly Fun House match finale. Their past apart in NXT, their past together on Raw and SmackDown, all of it and more needs to be referenced before we get a definitive finish. Then, the story of the night was of course in relation to the world title. I found it very surprising that Strowman did what he did to Pearce, and then he ended up completely OUT of what we got tonight. Lashley and Orton wanting in on the title talk was natural, the miniature tournament was a great idea, and all three matches we got were incredible.
Riddle VS Sheamus was a slugfest, Lee VS Lashley was an incredible heavyweight bout, and of course Orton VS Styles was worthy of a main event. Even Fiend getting involved, freaking Orton out, was good because obviously, we’re getting that feud next. For that matter, assuming Keith doesn’t win next week to revisit his encounters with McIntyre earlier this year, I would think going after the US Championship would be the natural follow-up. I think with Riddle’s Hurt Business “Shark Tank” promo, he’s probably not winning, so both he and Keith will be involved with Hurt Business simultaneously. Therefore, I would think Styles wins, and Jordan will be ringside for an epic match with McIntyre. Hell, McIntyre VS Omogbehin could be something great just on how imposing Omogbehin is naturally.
My Score: 9/10

Mixed 8 Person Street Fight: The Wyatt Sick6 VS Team American Made!
Bo Dallas has been trying to get Chad Gable to see the error of his ways, but to error is human. So Uncle Howdy had to step in. He has brought back the family back to laugh, and now Sister Abigail, Ramblin’ Rabbit, Huskus the Pig Boy & Mercy the Buzzard shall bring a reckoning to Gable, Ivy Nile & The Creed Brothers! Will Gable’s “new family” survive the sins of their “father?” Or will being “American Made” not be enough to avoid the consequence?
American Made makes their entrance first, already armed with kendo sticks, chains, and a trash can. Of course, being so over the top with the American flag, Gable gets booed by the Calgary, Alberta, Canada crowd. But then, the lights go out, the piano plays, and the lantern sits waiting in the rocking chair. The Wyatt Sick6 walk out from the eerie late, Howdy picks up the lantern, and they continue down to the ring. Then the lantern is blown out as Howdy takes a seat. The masks come off, and Howdy sends Gacy, Rowan & Lumis. Naturally then, Nikki Cross will also be in this battle, and she TACKLES Ivy!
The fans fire up and the bell rings, the brawl is on! Rowan TOSSES Julius, Lumis TOSSES Gable, and Gacy CLUBS Brutus! Nikki SMACKS Ivy off barriers, there is brawling all over ringside, and Gable sends Lumis into steel steps! Nikki hits a FACEBUSTER on Ivy, then she brings out a trash can of her own! The fans fire up as Nikki puts that can around Ivy! Nikki grabs one of those kendo sticks, and SMACKS away on the can! The fans fire up for every shot! Meanwhile, Gacy and Brutus are on the apron! Nikki THRWOS Ivy into barriers, then sits her back up. Nikki DROPKICKS the can! The fans chant, “We Want Tables!”
Rowan SMACKS Julius off the apron, then Gacy suplexes Brutus on the apron! Lumis is in the ring, Gable goes up and leaps, into a BUBBA BOMB! The fans fire up while Gable flounders out. Lumis slithers back out, and Nikki clears off the desk! Nikki has a wild grin as she brings Ivy over. Nikki climbs up, drags Ivy up to join her, but Ivy trips Nikki! Brutus and Gacy brawl in the ring, Ivy FLAPJACKS Nikki on the desk! Gacy fires hands, Ivy TOSSES Nick, and she almost takes out Joe Tessitore! Gacy stomps a mudhole into Brutus, Gable SMACKS Lumis with a kendo stick! And again! And again! Rowan smothers Julius but Gable storms in after Gacy!

Howdy continues to nod and rock in his chair as Rowan goes for Gable.

Gable JAMS then SMACKS Rowan with a chair! The Creeds DOUBLE POWERBOMB Rowan through the table!! The fans boo but American Made has turned the tide! They literally bury Rowan in wreckage and other items while the fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” American Made may have just made this 4v3! Gable sets things up in the ring, he SMACKS Lumis with a stick, and then whips him to drop toehold into the chair!
The Creeds SMACK away on Gacy, then they join Gable in the ring. They SMACK away on Lumis now, from head to toe! They CHOKE Lumis with the kendo stick, then Gable prepares another chair. Lumis sits up, but he avoids the chair! BIG back suplex! The fans fire up, Lumis kips up to LEG DROP! Gacy fights back, too, but that’s 2v1 with the Creeds. Julius throws Gacy into the ring, and SMACKS him with a stick! But Lumis brings out a new TABLE! The fans fire up, but The Creeds double whip. Gacy handsprings, into the UPSIDE-DOWN!! Both Creeds fall and the fans fire up again! Lumis has Gable, and “This is Awesome!” as Lumis puts Gable on the table!
Lumis rains down fists, Gacy goes after Brutus, but Julius SMACKS Gacy down! Lumis storms up to the apron, but Julius BLASTS him back down! Gable gets away from the table while Brutus and Gacy brawl. Julius SMACKS Gacy with a chair! Gable throws in a trash can and Brutus brings that over. Brutus puts Gacy in the can, and Julius SMACKS him! Gable, Brutus and Julius all SMACK away like Gacy’s a pinata! Brutus BREAKS his stick! The fans boo but Ivy throws some chairs in. But Nikki returns from under the ring! How does she look crazier than earlier!? Nikki SMACKS away on Ivy with the kendo stick!
Nikki SMACKS Ivy off the desk, then TACKLES her up and over! They tumble, but then Gacy RAMS Gacy and the can! A bit double-edged, but The Creeds drag Gacy up. They RAM him into a corner! Gacy is finally free of the can but The Creeds are not done yet. Julius brings out a THIRD TABLE! The fans are torn, they do love the tables but they aren’t happy American Made is on top. Even so, Brutus sets up the table while Julius puts Gacy in the ring. The fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” but The Creeds bring Gacy over. But ROWAN ERUPTS! The fans are thunderous and The Creeds freak out!
Rowan throws things aside, DECKS Julius, BOOTS Brutus, then rampages around. He RAIPS part of the barrier away!! And he RAMS the barrier into Julius! And then Brutus! And then Gable! Usually, it’s the other way around! Calgary is thunderous as Rowan puts Brutus in! And then a LARIAT! LARIAT! And LARIAT in the corner! Rowan snapmares Brutus, runs up and DROPKICKS him down! Julius returns but Rowan LEG LARIATS! Brutus is up, but he gets a SIDE EFFECT! Cover, Gable breaks it! American Made mugs Rowan and the fans boo again.

Winners: The Wyatt Sick6, by pinfall
There was a debt to be collected, and the Wyatts made American Made pay it! The Wyatts stand tall and they stand together, how high can they reach?
Finn Balor is here!
The Prince heads to the ring, WWE World Tag Team Championship around his waist, but it is rather surprising he doesn’t have the rest of the team with him. Finn gets a mic to say, “It didn’t have to be this way, Damian. You see, you said that I screwed you. But really, you screwed The Judgment Day! You see, when I joined the group, I reached down, I reached down, and I tried to help you up! But the more I helped you up, the more you tried to hold me down. That’s right, Damian! You held me down! Your friend! I was your brother! I was the guy who had your back. I was the guy who made sure that you stayed champion!”
Finn paces, fans boo, but Finn says let’s not forget that FINN should’ve been World Heavyweight Champion a long time ago, if not for Damian lurking around with that briefcase every chance he could. Because every time Finn got close, it was Damian who screwed Finn! So Finn needs Damian to stop hiding and come on out, because he has things he wants to say to Damian’s face! And so, here comes The Punisher! Damian throws off his jacket, steps right into the ring, and says ever since FINN broke up “the REAL Judgment Day,” he’s been trying to get his hands on Finn. Finn’s run away every time!
So here’s what’s gonna happen: Damian will let Finn finish what he’s saying, and then he’s gonna drop Finn’s ass! The fans fire up but Finn says no no no, that’s not gonna happen! Damian doesn’t tell Finn what to do anymore, because Finn’s not his sidekick! This is FINN BALOR, and Damian made him into a sidekick!? NO! The Prince ain’t no sidekick! The fans chant “SIDEKICK! SIDEKICK!” Finn says Priest & Rhea fall on the same night, because Finn wants Damian 1v1 at Bad Blood! The fans like that idea! Oh, challenging Damian? CHALENGE ACCEPTED! Now, time to do what Damian came here to do.
Oh, no no no. Damian is forgetting one thing. Hasn’t he forgotten the playbook? Playbook!? Damian wrote that book! Damian is gonna explain something to Finn. And then he DECKS Finn! But here comes JD & Carlito! Damian DECKS them, too! The fans fire up as Damian throws more hands, but Dirty Dom stayed back! Dom LEAPS in, but Damian catches him! But now it’s a 4v1 mugging! The fans boo as JD holds Damian’s legs down so the others can stomp away! But here comes Rhea Ripley! She hobbles still, but Dom steps in her way. Because here comes Liv! Rhea JAMS Liv up with the crutch! But Dom snatches that crutch! so Rhea SLAPS Dom!
Rhea JAMS Dom, winds up, and SMACKS Dom on the back! But Liv CHOP BLOCKS the bad leg! The fans boo but Liv CLUBS away on Rhea! Finn SLINGBLADES Priest! The mugging continues, Liv CRACKS Rhea with her crutch! And again, and again, and again! The fans boo as Liv holds Rhea down with the crutch, and the boys keep dropping Damian! Liv winds up with the crutch, but Damian shields Rhea! So Liv just SMACKS away on Damian’s back! Then Dom gets a turn! The fans boo but no one can stop Judgment Day from beating Damian with the crutch! BUT NOW JEY IS HERE! Jey has a chair, he runs Judgment Day off!
The fans fire up with “YEET! YEET! YEET!” Jay helps Rhea sit up and checks on Priest. Jey may have a battle in the main event tonight, but will he have a bigger part to play against Judgment Day?
Backstage interview with Braun Strowman.
Jackie Redmond is with The Monster of All Monsters, and says this is one of the more “miraculous” stories in this contenders series. The injuries Braun suffered at the hands of Bronson Reed would put most men on the shelf for months. Braun says it is no secret that he’s still banged up from that. But that said, he knew he had to step up. No offense to The Miz, he’s just no match for Bronson. And that match last week did Braun no favors. But he won’t use that as an excuse. For the better part of the last decade, he has shown the entire WWE Universe it takes way more than that to keep him down.
Braun may be wounded now, but he’ll show the world that a wounded monster is even more dangerous. But then in steps Bron Breakker. What does he want? Bron looks at Braun and admits, he’s a monster. Everyone knows that, but seeing it for himself, Bron admits again, Braun’s a monster. But Bron is going to prove to Braun, the WWE, and the world, that you don’t have to be some 7 foot tall, 900 pounds just to be a monster. Bron’s a dog, and the reason Braun is still standing is because he hasn’t stood across from Bron. Oh is that what he thinks? Then this kid doesn’t know who he’s talking to.
Bron says he actually hopes Braun wins tonight. “See you around, you big SOB.” Oh, he will. Will we get a battle of Bron VS Braun to see who has the most brawn in WWE?
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill VS Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn!
The StrongEST Duo lost at Clash at the Castle but won at the Bash In Berlin, so now they and The Unholy Union need to put to R E S T who are truly the B E S T. Will Bianca & Jade prove that 2v2, there’s no two better? Or will there be one last spell to cast?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really stands atop WWE!
The teams sort out and Bianca starts against Alba. They tie up, Bianca healdocks, but Alba pulls hair to power up and out. Bianca runs Alba over! The fans fire up and Bianca keeps moving. Bianca handsprings over the drop down, then says kiss this! Alba runs up, Bianca hurdles, but Alba blocks the hip toss! Bianca wrenches, whips, and Alba bounces off buckles. Bianca scoops and SLAMS Alba, then she tags Jade. The fans fire up as Jade & Bianca double whip. They DOUBLE SHOULDER TACKLE, but Isla runs in! She gets DOUBLE SHOULDERS, too! Isla bails out, Jade & Bianca DOUBLE LARIAT Alba out onto her!
The fans fire up with the StrongEST, but Isla helps Alba into the ring. Alba tags Isla, they flank Jade, then Isla CLUBS her! Isla whips, Jade reverses and scoops! The fans fire up as Jade marches around, then SLAMS Isla! Alba storms in, but into a scoop! And then a SLAM! The fans fire up for Jade, and she runs into the corner, BIG elbow for Alba! Jade runs at Isla but Isla dodges! Isla SMACKS Jade off buckles, then climbs up to rain down fists! But Jade stops Isla at three! Alba tags in, Jade atomic drops Isla, but Alba CHOP BLOCKS! Isla KNEES Jade down, Alba covers, TWO! Alba is annoyed, but she stomps away on Jade’s legs.
Alba steps through, but Jade BOOTS her away! Tag to Isla and she drags Jade back. But Jade BOOTS her, too! Hot tag to Bianca! The fans fire up as Bianca rallies on Isla with big shoulder tackles, then a DROPKICK! Alba runs up, into a wrench and suplex! Bianca holds Alba up, marches around, then SLAMS her down! And kip up! The fans fire up with Bianca, and she runs at Isla to RAM her! Bianca climbs, rains down fists, and fans count along. Bianca goes to nine, but has to flip over Alba! Bianca then dodges the wicked witches, goes up and CROSSBODIES them both down! The fans fire up again, and Bianca HANDSPRING MOONSAULTS! Cover, TWO!
Isla survives but Bianca torture racks! Alba tags in first, and Isla slips free! Bianca swings on Alba, Isla ROCKS Bianca! Alba climbs, but Bianca shoves Isla into her! Bianca then climbs up after Alba, but Isla anchors the superplex! Isla tags in, Alba CLUBS away on Bianca. Isla & Alba bring Bianca up for a DOUBLE POWERBOMB! High stack, TWO!! Bianca survives and Isla is seething! Alba is pulling her hair out, but Isla tags her in. The Unholy Union DOUBLE SUPLEX, but Jade makes the save! The fans fire up as Jade then shoves Isla into Alba, and chicken wings Isla! But Isla victory rolls, Alba SUPERKICKS!
Bianca rolls Alba up, TWO! Bianca runs up but into a trip! Alba rolls Bianca right into a Gory Especial! Isla tags in, for SOMETHING WICKED!! Cover, Jade breaks it!! The fans fire up and Isla is beside herself! Isla tags Alba back in, and they stomp away on Bianca. The ref counts, Isla lets off, and Alba puts Bianca on ropes. But Bianca shoves back! Bianca ducks a sucker punch to POST Isla! Alba dodges the lariat to SUPERKICK! Bianca staggers, Jade tags in! Alba sees that and is furious. But Jade still BOOTS her down! The fans fire up, and Bianca rolls Alba for Jade! Wheelbarrow, DDT, STORM SUPLEX!! Cover, Bianca & Jade win!
Winners: Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill, by pinfall (still WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions)
The Unholy Union couldn’t stop these two, Bianca & Jade could truly be THE strongest team in the Women’s Division ever!
Backstage interview with The Latino World Order.
Jackie says Dragon Lee faces Dirty Dom, and we all know how Judgment Day rolls. How has the LWO prepared? Dragon says claro que si, Dragon Lee is ready. Everyone knows Judgment Day can’t do anything alone. They showed that last week, they showed it tonight, but Dragon has his own back-up. Rey Mysterio says they couldn’t have picked a better man than Dragon Lee. “And oh, look who it is! The Addams Family!” Rey asks Judgment Day what they even want, and Liv says they like crashing parties. Finn says if they didn’t see what happened out there, but if you stand in the way of The Judgment Day, it’ll be you next!
Rey says all he saw was a bunch of wannabe thugs that run away from real fights. Dom says watch your mouth, deadbeat. Rey says watch your tone, son! But Rey says Finn needs to stop hiding behind Rey’s stupid son and face Rey in the ring tonight. Finn says he’s on! But Rey just made a huge mistake. Judgment Day heads out, but will LWO score some major points before the Terror Twins go for Bad Blood?
Bret Hart is here!
Joe Tessitore gives the Hitman his introduction, and Calgary fires up as the Hall of Famer makes his way to the ring. Tessitore says, “Calgary, he’s back!” Tessitore knows this was a tough ticket, but there’s an announcement for something special in Canada. The fans go wild for Bret, and Tessitore says WWE will return to Canada in late November! SURIVOR SERIES VANCOUVER! Tickets on sale Friday! Wade says Bret is a hero to everyone in the locker room, but how does it feel to be home on Raw, here in the Saddle Dome? Bret says this is the place to be! No one took more pride than he did being a champion for Canada.
And he’ll tell us a thing about Canadian champions. Canadian champions take on anyone! They never duck a challenge, and they have to prove themselves like Bret did every night for 20 years, that he’s The Best There Is, The Best There Was, and the Best There Ever Will Be! But wait! GUNTHER is here! Der Ring General smiles but the fans boo as he approaches the ring. Gunther gets a mic while fans boo more, but Gunther says, “Ladies and gentlemen, what a time to be alive! Bret ‘The Hitman’ Hart! I tell you this, I’m about to pour my heart out to one of my childhood heroes. In all seriousness, The Best There Is, The Best There Was, and The Best There Ever Will Be.”
The fans cheer and Gunther says this is a passing-the-torch moment. Because yes, Bret was the best there was, but Gunther is the NEW Best There Is and Ever Will Be. So now, with that out of the way, Gunther wants to express something from the bottom of his heart. He is serious about this. Just like Wade said before, yes, everyone in the back respects Bret, we all watched Bret growing up. And Bret has always been a childhood hero for Gunther. So he wanted to take this moment to tell Bret that Bret will always be a close second to Gunther’s real favorite, Bill Goldberg! The fans boo more as Gunther had to mention that name.
But wait! Here comes Sami Zayn! The fans fire up as Sami wears a Calgary Flames Gaudreau jersey! The fans also sing Sami’s song as he goes to the ring. Sami stands with Bret, and he gets a mic to tell Gunther he has a lot of nerve to stand in this ring, in this city, and talk to Bret the way he just did! Gunther thinks this is a joke? Guess what? It isn’t a joke, Bret IS a Canadian hero! And in case you can’t tell, Bret is a hero to every single person in this city! And to an entire generation of wrestlers who are still studying Bret’s work to this day! And more importantly, Bret is a hero to Sami. The fans cheer all of that!
Sami says Gunther may be World Heavyweight Champion, but Bret is the one who set the tone for what it means to be a champion! But what does Gunther do? Sami challenges Gunther, but Gunther tucks tail, turns around, and runs away. Gunther wants to say the Best There Is? Then prove it! Gunther VS Sami, part 2, for the WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! The fans fire up for that idea! Gunther thinks on it, then grins as the fans boo. Gunther tells Sami, “Understand this. With all due respect, Bret, but you’re not in my league. And Sami, as much as you want to be, and as much as Bret is your hero, you’re far away from being in the league of Bret Hart.
“So what does that tell you? My answer remains no.” The fans boo as Gunther again leaves, but Bret’s the one to say that doesn’t look like a champion to him. That looks like a coward! A dirty, yellow coward! A gutless, yellow coward! Gunther gets mad, the fans chant “COWARD! COWARD!” but then Sami gets in Gunther’s face. They argue, but then Gunther takes a swing! Sami counter punches and keep son Gunther! Sami POSTS Gunther, HAMMERS away at the barriers, but refs rush out here! The fans boo, but Sami goes back to the ring with Bret. Fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” but Gunther retreats again.
Bret smirks as Gunther continues to prove him right. But will Der Ring General be convinced to settle things with Sami Zayn after all?
Pete Dunne crosses paths with Bron Breakker.
Bron didn’t know what to think of Dunne. He used to hang with Sheamus. But what did he used to be called? Don’t even call him that name, Bron. Bron says okay, Pete. But then Dunne tells Bron what’s gonna happen: Dunne takes one step closer to taking that title; tomorrow night on NXT, Dunne will SMASH Trick Williams and be one step closer to taking the NXT Championship; and after that, Dunne will SMASH Bron. Then Bron can just call him Double Champ. Bron tells Dunne that the worst thing Dunne could possibly do is convince himself he can beat Bron in a fight, because he can’t.
When it is all said and done, Bron will have that dumb look on his face as he does that stupid shrug, wondering, “Man, what just happened to me out there? Man, Bron Breakker’s a badass. Man, why’re the dogs barkin’ so loud in Canada?” But good luck. Bron leaves, but here comes Sheamus! He KNEES Dunne into the wall, and takes back his shillelagh! Now Dunne’s the real butch! Let’s bleedin’ go! Dunne ducks a shillelagh swing and runs away! Producers rush in, Sheamus tells them to get away! The Celtic Warrior is ready for a fight, but will he have to wait his turn given Dunne’s busy schedule?
Dominik Mysterio w/ Judgment Day VS Dragon Lee w/ The LWO!

LWO knew how Judgment Day p lays the game and they still couldn’t stop them! Now Dom & Liv kick Dragon out of the ring! Dom & Liv celebrate, will they keep this celebration going all the way through Bad Blood?
Jade & Bianca are backstage.
Jade says they did what they said they were gonna do, they’re feeling good. But then Iyo Sky & Kairi Sane walk over. Bianca asks Kairi if she’s good. The giant bandage over her eye says otherwise. Jade asks if there’s a problem. Iyo says they wanted to say nice work out there. But uh, don’t get used to having those tag titles. Okay, no touchy. Bye. DMG CTRL still wants the gold, when and where will they get their chance?

This belt rightfully belongs to ME, dumbass!” Ren drops the belt on Cobb, then “puts one out” before leaving. The fans boo more, but Cobb sits up. The fans cheer as Cobb grabs the mic, and Cobb says, in Japanese, “Yota… Happy Birthday.” The fans applaud, it’s the thought that counts. And then Cobb tells Narita, also in Japanese, “I will CRUSH you!!” Mic drop and the fans cheer that idea! When and where will the Imperial Unit take Ren on a Tour of the Islands?
My Thoughts:
Another great night for NJPW with… Actually, this is the second night of Road to Destruction, but the very first night was all just fun tune-up tag matches, and then they had Takagi’s 20th Anniversary night. But here, the real Road to Destruction begins as we get a title match and some more build. Good stuff in the matches I skipped, but very easy results to call. There are almost always “fall guys” in those matches, because they take the loss and all that. I probably could’ve made time for Douki & Taka VS Taiji & Gedo since that feeds the IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship match in a few days, but even then, Taka was the “fall guy” and Taiji has momentum. Douki & Taka can probably even things in another tune-up, keeping us guessing on the math going into their title match.
Very good matches that followed, as well. ZSJ was of course winning to keep his momentum going from the G1 Climax win, but likewise, Naito can turn things around before he faces Khan in three weeks. Actually, I feel like we should be getting a rotation of such tag matches. Naito & Bushi VS Khan & Akira, then Khan & Akira VS ZSJ & Fujita. And speaking of Akira, he of course took the loss for his team, that keeps Takagi strong, and then Hiromu and Henare are fairly even going into tomorrow’s title match. It would be pretty big if Hiromu won the NEVER Openweight title, but it doesn’t feel like that’s happening here.
And great NJPW World Television Championship match. It was a great move to go with the time limit draw, that protects both guys and leaves things open for more later. After all, Cobb had a time limit draw with ZSJ and that only made us want more, which we eventually got. Ren of course had to interject, but I’m pretty sure Cobb wins within the time limit there. Though, the House of Torture probably throws as many cheats as they can in those 15 minutes and that’d oddly be a lot of fun.
My Score: 8.8/10
