PLAY BY PLAY
Roman Reigns is here!
The Tribal Chief and his Special Counsel again open up SmackDown and head to the ring. Paul Heyman gets the mic to Roman, and Roman asks him what he calls this place again. “The Island of Relevancy.” And why is it called that? Heyman explains that anyone around Roman is relevant. Roman is who makes everyone relevant. The numbers do not lie. You can look at it in the flesh. Take cousin Jey Uso, for example. Before, Jey was just a twin, but now he’s Main Event Jey. Jey put Daniel Bryan out, haven’t seem him since. Jey destroyed Kevin Owens. And now Jey will lead Roman’s team, Team SmackDown, to victory at Survivor Series. Roman will do the same the secondary champion, Randy Orton.
And when you think about Orton, which Roman doesn’t, “he’s the classic example of, you can respect a man’s accomplishments, and still not respect the man himself.” But wait! Is that Drew McIntyre?! The Scottish Stud is on SmackDown?! The Brand 2 Brand Invitation must be part of this! Heyman is stunned but Roman just looks annoyed as McIntyre gets in the ring with a mic of his own. “It’s been a minute. Paul Heyman, did you miss me?” McIntyre was “passing through” and heard Roman. He doesn’t want Roman wasting his time and energy. He was talking about Orton but he won’t be facing Orton at Survivor Series. Raw will have the WWE World Championship, Orton VS McIntyre, and McIntyre will win to make it him against Roman at Survivor Series.
And that made McIntyre think back to the last time they were in the ring together. A lot has changed since. When was that? “Oh yeah! I was eliminating you to win the Royal Rumble earlier this year!” Roman may not have been paying attention, but he can just ask Heyman what happened. McIntyre made Heyman’s client his b*tch, and defeated him at WrestleMania. Roman knows what happened after, right? No, the head of the table just disappeared! Left us all high and dry! Someone had to step up. And that was McIntyre. But it has been a privilege and will continue to be. Roman sees the Top Guy spot as a right, but McIntyre sees it is an honor! McIntyre is so excited to seeing Roman face to face to say MCINTYRE is the man now! And he’ll prove it at Survivor Series!
Roman responds by saying he likes McIntyre, and always has. He respects McIntyre and what McIntyre said is the truth. “But I’m back now.” And ever since coming back, nobody knows who McIntyre is. Roman doesn’t watch Raw and Heyman says he’s not missing much. Well nobody watches Raw, do they? Because they’re watching SmackDown, and they’re watching SmackDown because they’re all watching Roman. And since McIntyre failed his audition here, please tell us “Who is Drew McIntyre?” Who is McIntyre? Roman wants to know? McIntyre is the guy who is going to beat Orton for the world title, then head into Survivor Series, and will show Roman who the secondary champion really is.
Jey rushes out to back Roman up. Jey tasks McIntyre what he’s doing here. This isn’t Monday, it’s Friday! And they run this show! They do this! Roman didn’t invite Drew so what’s he doing here? Being real disrespectful, that’s what! The last one to do that was Daniel Bryan, Jey got him. The last one to do that was Kevin Owens, Jey got him. So it seems like Jey has to get Drew, too! With that said, 1v1 right here tonight! What’s McIntyre’s answer? “Well-” Jey drops the mic on McIntyre! So McIntyre shoves Jey! McIntyre gets in Roman’s face and Roman has Jey stand down. Roman leads Jey and Heyman away, but will this be settled before the night is over?
SmackDown returns as Roman yells at Jey.
Don’t say it “we,” “ours,” “us!” ROMAN runs this! This is HIS! Roman calls the shots! Who is the Universal Champion?! Roman never said for Jey to go out and handle his business! No one said for Jey to come out and make a match for himself! Roman calls the shots! Okay, okay, Uce. Jey will handle it. Does this mean Jey is facing Drew after all?
WWE Intercontinental Championship: Sami Zayn VS Apollo Crews!
The self-proclaimed Champion of the People is angry! He was told just today, at 7 PM Eastern, only an hour before the show started, that he has to defend this title! And not just against anyone, but against a former US Champion in Apollo Crews! Crews, 235 pound powerhouse, one of the most agile men in the WWE, and Sami only gets one hour notice!? “Tell me that doesn’t reek of sabotage!” WWE is trying to sabotage the Champion of the People! But Sami is used to that and will use this as an opportunity to show everyone, especially Bobby Lashley, the difference between an Intercontinental and a US Champion!
Sami says he has had to jump through more hoops than anyone! He had to defeat two future Hall of Famers just to have the title he never lost! Who else has done that?! But Apollo makes his entrance, the introductions are made, and the belt is raised as we see who is meeting the Rocky Mountain Machine at Survivor Series!
Sami kicks and punches Crews to a corner then fires off with haymakers! The ref counts, Sami lets off and he CHOPS Apollo against ropes. Sami whips but Apollo runs him over! And again! Apollo has Sami in a corner and hits a corner splash! Then he gorilla presses and carries Sami around, to then throw him at the buckles! Sami flounders out of the ring but Apollo hurries and puts him back in. Sami kicks back, reels Apollo in, but Apollo blocks the suplex. Apollo suplexes, gets Sami up and over and brings him down! And then enziguris! Standing moonsault! Cover, TWO!! Sami narrowly escapes but Apollo is right after him.
Apollo whips, Sami holds ropes and bails out. Sami grabs the apron skirt and yanks it off! He plays like he didn’t mean to but Apollo stalks over. Sami throws Apollo into the ring frame! Sami sticks a foot through the framing and tightens the ropes! Sami gets in the ring, Apollo is counted out! Sami wins!
Winner: Sami Zayn, by count out (still WWE Intercontinental Championship)
Another sneaky- er, clever way for Sami to come away the winner! And he again repeats that this is the difference between Intercontinental and United States Champion! But will Sami’s brain power matter when up against the All Mighty?
Adam Pearce talks with Drew McIntyre.
He wants McIntyre to understand McIntyre being on Raw and Jey being on SmackDown, they can’t officially have a match. However, Pearce can arrange an unsanctioned match. McIntyre thinks about it. He asks Pearce if he’s met McIntyre before. Obviously. Interacted with him before? Certainly. And knows what he is about? Yes. Then the answer is obviously yes. And tell Roman to have a front row seat, he’ll want to see this one! It IS happening, but will the Tribal Chief be happy about it?
Backstage interview with The Mysterio Family.
Rey has Dominik, Aalyah and Angie with him to witness the #FinalChapter with Seth Rollins. Ever since Rollins started targeting him, he has endured attacks. Rey stops that talk there. This isn’t about him or Seth or the eye. “Things have changed once he started targeting my family.” Rollins devoted all of his time trying to destroy them with their secrets, text messages, not at all knowing the strength of their bonds. Tonight will be the final chapter. Everything Rollins has done to the Mysterios culminates in this final match. Rollins says he is the Messiah, but he is the devil. So for Rey, his family, the WWE Universe and the powers above, Rey vows to send Rollins “back to that soul crushing hell where he belongs!”
Sasha Banks is here!
The Boss struts her way to the ring with the SmackDown Women’s Championship. And we will hear from her after the break!
SmackDown returns and Sasha has a mic to say, “The haters said I could win but I couldn’t retain it. Yet here I am, your SmackDown Women’s Champion, and damn does it feel good.” After the past six months, the highs and the lows, that would’ve been enough to stop anyone else. But not Sasha! She is at the top of her game and on top of the Women’s Division. So everyone else is put on notice. Carmella, Sasha knows you’re watching. Bravo to- Bayley shows up? But Carmella sneaks up behind Sasha and turns her around to SUPERKICK! “Better watch your back, Boss! I’m right here, baby!” Mella drags Sasha up to hit her with a FACEBUSTER! The Untouchable gets the drop on Sasha again! Was Bayley setting Sasha up for her? Or was she just taking advantage of an opening?
Otis eats up a storm!
Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode walk up to talk bad on him as if he isn’t there! Eating three plates by himself, all alone, because his one friend betrayed him! And now he doesn’t even have the Money in the Bank contract! Miz has it now! Otis gets angry now. Roode and Ziggler act like they don’t get it, but Otis throws the TABLE at them! Ziggler and Roode get out of there, but will the wrath of Dozer be felt soon enough?
Dolph Ziggler w/ Robert Roode VS Otis!
Well it seems that could happen after all! Will the Show-Off be doing anything but laughing after facing an angry Dozer?
The bell rings, Ziggler talks smack and then SLAPS Otis! Otis snarls and rams Ziggler to a corner! Otis TOSSES Ziggler across the way, then fires up as he brings Ziggler up. Otis throws haymakers and clubbing fists from all sides! The ref counts, Otis lets off and then runs in to corner splash! Ziggler is down, Otis pumps up but Roode gets on the apron. Otis DECKS Roode, but gets hit with a ZIGZAG! Cover, TWO!! Ziggler is furious but he wants Otis to stand. Ziggler tunes up the band, aims but is blocked! Otis spins Ziggler for a POWERSLAM! Otis hits the CATERPILLAR ELBOW! Ziggler is in the corner, Otis goes up but Roode creeps closer. Otis glares at Roode and Roode stops! VADER BOMB!! Cover, Otis wins!
Winner: Otis, by pinfall
You can only push Otis so far before he pushes back! Will Otis push through these hard times to be a big winner once again?
Rollins talks with Murphy backstage.
Clearly the Architect has plans for tonight’s match. But will Murphy have plans of his own?
Otis is fired up backstage!
“I did not lose my way, I stayed focused, I stayed on target!” And Chad Gable comes by to say that is what Otis needs to be doing every single week. Otis could be doing that to anyone. But what he needs is discipline. A mentor, even! Otis needs someone to show him how to unlock his “inner alpha.” Gable is creating the “Alpha Academy” and already has pamphlets! Otis likes this idea! Blue Collar Solid never stops! Otis asks if Gable wants to “clang ‘n’ bang” in the gym, get those reps going. Maybe have some club sodas on the way? Otis heads off, perhaps not taking Gable’s offer seriously. Will Gable make Otis understand?
No Holds Barred: Seth Rollins w/ Buddy Murphy VS Rey Mysterio w/ the Mysterio Family!
The Monday Night Messiah turned Savior of SmackDown has been anything but a saving grace for the WWE. Rollins has tried to ruin the lives of those who simply don’t agree with him. And in the midst of it all, there has been a family drama the likes of a top tier telenovela. All the players are here at ringside, will it all truly end here in this #FinalChapter where the only rule is to win?
SmackDown returns and the bell rings, Rollins smirks as he stares Rey down. Rey fires off, goes after legs and he backs Rollins to a corner! Rey rams but Rollins carries Rey all the way to the other corner! Rollins whips corner to corner, Rey goes up and headscissors Rollins down! Rey KICKS Rollins’ leg, clubs and shoves him but Rollins kicks back. Rollins runs, sunset flips but Rey rolls through to kick Rollins down! Rey takes a moment to catch his breath but Rollins bails out. Rey is after Rollins at the apron but Rollins hotshots him back hard! Rollins goes looking under the ring and brings out a chair. Rollins gets in the ring but Rey dropkicks the leg out! Rollins is on the ropes, Rey runs but Rollins bails out before Rey can dial it up!
Rollins gets back on the apron but Rey rams him with a shoulder. Rey CLUBS Rollins, bumps Rollins off buckles, and then goes up and out, only for Rollins to catch him! Rollins laughs as he spins Rey, but Rey APRON DDT’S Rollins down! Rey gets in the ring to rest but comes out after Rollins. Rey shoves Rollins into barriers! And then stalks him around the way to RAM him into the apron! And back into the barriers! Rollins goes rolling but Rey keeps after him. Rey KICKS Rollins, clubs him down, but Rollins shoves Rey into steel steps! Rollins Electric Chairs Rey but Rey fights back! Rey spins and sunset BOMBS Rollins into barriers!
The Mysterio family cheers Rey on as both he and Rollins are down. Murphy stays close but doesn’t really show emotion one way or another. Rey kicks Rollins then KICKS him again! Rey gets back in the ring, builds speed, and slides, but into Rollins’ suplex and FALCON ARROW to the desk! Rey writhes, his mask all offset, as he tries to get back up. Rollins hobbles over and drags Rey back up. Rollins bounces Rey off the desk, and then throws him into barriers! Rollins puts Rey back in the ring, covers, TWO! Rey is still in this and Rollins is annoyed. Rollins drops elbows to Rey’s back, then drags Rey up into a backbreaker!
Rollins stalks Rey to a corner and stands on Rey’s head! Rollins lets off to bring Rey back up, whips him corner to corner hard and Rey bounces off buckles! Cover, TWO! Dom and the family cheer for Rey to get up but Rollins wedges the chair into the corner. Rollins stalks Rey and CLUBS him on the back! Rollins brings Rey around, scoops him and aims for the corner, but Rey slips out! Rollins avoids hitting the chair and elbows Rey back! Rollins shoves Rey into the corner, but misses his corner splash! Rey goes up and springboards for a seated senton! Rey keeps moving, tilt-o-whirl headscissors! Rollins shoves Rey, Rey wheelbarrows back to BULLDOG! Cover, TWO!
Rollins crawls to a corner but the Mysterios cheer Rey on. Rey RAMS into Rollins, and again! Rollins knees him back then whips him and slides him out! Rey hits the floor at the feet of his family! Rollins goes out and the Mysterios move out of the way. Rollins has the steel steps and he RAMS Rey down! Rollins stares at Dom, Aalyah and Angie, and decides to bring the rest of the steps over! Rollins drags Rey up and over. “You wanted the end, the end is coming!” Rollins says “bye bye” to Dom, Angie and even Aalyah, but Rey avoids the curb stomp! Rey kicks Rollins in the leg then trips Rollins up! Rollins hits face first off the steps!
Rey clubs Rollins down, gets in to build speed and SLIDING SPLASHÂ onto the steps!! Rollins clutches his ribs as Rey evens things up, and SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns again and Rollins has put Rey in the ring. Rollins goes back to under the ring to bring out a table! Rollins puts the table in, stomps Rey down, then sets the table up. Rey kicks back, throws haymakers, but Rollins kicks low and snap suplexes! Wait, Rollins holds on! That was uno amigo! Then he hits dos amigos! Rollins aims for the table but Rey fights out of the third! Rey throws haymakers and forearms, he whips Rollins but Rollins reverses! Rey slides under the table, comes back but Rollins JAMS the table into Rey! Rollins goes around the table to stomp away on Rey! Rollins drags Rey up while he climbs the corner. Rey fights back and the Mysterios rally with the fans! Rey enziguris and Rollins wobbles up top!
Rey throws more hands, climbs up but Rollins fights back. They brawl, Rey throws a headbutt then jumps, but his steiner is blocked! Rollins brings Rey back up, to POWERBOMB Rey through the table!! Rollins crawls to the cover, TWO!! Rey still lives and Rollins is shocked! The Mysterios cheer Rey on while Rollins seethes and shouts. The wreckage is cleared out and Rollins thinks on what to do next. Rollins gets the chair from the corner, and takes off the feet paddings! Rollins aims those for Rey’s GOOD eye! Dom drags Rollins off Rey but Rollins SUPERKICKS him down! Murphy heads over but Rollins says it is okay. Rollins tells them to just watch them. Rollins gets in, has the chair, but Rey dropkicks it into Rollins’ face!
Rollins writhes, Murphy gets in and helps him up! Murphy has the chair, holds it out to Rollins and Rollins takes it. Is Murphy really still Rollins’ disciple? Aalyah is hurt most of all by this, but then Murphy KNEE TRIGGERS Rollins!! This was what he was panning all along!! Rollins gets up in rage but Murphy gets away! Rey runs in but Rollins is moving the ropes too much and the 619 doesn’t connect! Rey gets back in fast to go after Rollins with kicks! Rollins ends up back on the ropes, and Rey redials the 619!! Then he goes up, shout out to Eddie with the FROG SPLASH! Cover, Rey wins!!
Winner: Rey Mysterio, by pinfall
The Final Chapter is a happy ending for Rey Mysterio! And how fitting on the 15th anniversary of losing Eddie Guerrero that a frog splash wins it for him! Murphy also has written his last chapter with Rollins as he finally and truly turned against him! But Rey is still wary of Aalyah going to him. Rey goes to Murphy first, and wants Murphy to join him in the ring “like a man.” Murphy does. Is he looking for Rey’s approval? Rey offers a handshake, and Murphy takes it. Aalyah runs to Murphy and they hug. And Dom also accepts Murphy with a handshake of his own. Is the Mysterio family even stronger than before now that they’ve triumphed over Rollins and forgiven Murphy?
Natalya talks with Adam Pearce.
He already knows what she wants. She wants to earn her spot on the SmackDown Women’s Team for Survivor Series. He’s already arranged another Triple Threat for that. No, that’s not what she wanted! How hard is it for him to just name her to the team!? She is the #BOAT, Best Of All Time! If SmackDown is going to win, only she can charter that voyage! It is her journey! Why is it that hard?! Sorry, but it is his duty to inform her that the Triple Threat is up next. Natty storms off, and in walks CHELSEA GREEN! The Hot Mess is now officially SmackDown, will she have a spot on Team SmackDown?
Backstage interview with Seth Rollins.
“NOT NOW, ELAINE!” Well so much for that. Rollins demands Pearce get out and talk! If this is about Mysterio- No, this is NOT about Mysterio! Rollins never wants to see the Mysterios again! This is about Murphy! “I created him. That coward. That disgraceful bastard!” Murphy betrayed him!! Rollins demands Pearce give him the opportunity to destroy Murphy! Has one story ended only for another to begin?
Survivor Series Women’s Team SmackDown Qualifier Triple Threat: Natalya VS Liv Morgan VS Tamina!
The Queen of Harts has tried this two times before, and instead of her, it was Bianca Belair and Ruby Riott who qualified for the team. Will Liv have a chance to join her friends at Survivor Series? Will a different multi-generation superstar be shining in the light? Or will the third time be the charm for the #BOAT?
Wait, the announcement comes down that this Triple Threat is being turned into a FATAL 4 WAY!? And it’s CHELSEA GREEN joining the match! Did she pull some strings to get this opportunity?
Survivor Series Women’s Team SmackDown Qualifier Fatal 4 Way: Natalya VS Liv Morgan VS Tamina VS Chelsea Green!
The bell rings and the four women circle. Tamina finds herself surrounded as the strongest, and Chelsea hits her first! Tamina doesn’t go down so Chelsea gets away! Liv jumps on with a sleeper and Natty rushes head on but Tamina headbutts Natty down! Tamina backs into buckles but Liv holds on. Chelsea runs in but Tamina BOOTS her down! Natty runs in but Tamina BOOTS her, too! Tamina throws Liv off, then goes to boot, but Liv catches that to a KNEE JACKER! Liv goes up and missile dropkicks Tamina down! Chelsea and Natty drag Tamina out to whip her into barriers! Chelsea clubs Natty then DECKS her, but Liv dropkicks Chelsea down!
Liv goes to the apron but Natty RAMS her into the apron! Then puts her in the ring to throws haymakers! Natty whips but Liv reverses to send Natty into buckles, Natty dodges, rebound sit down but Liv rolls through it! Liv ducks the discus for the SPINNING DDT! Cover, TWO!! Natty survives and Liv is surprised! Liv clubs away on Natty, Natty hits back! Cover, TWO! Liv checks her face but Natty has the legs! Natty steps through, Liv kicks the Sharpshooter away. Natty clamps onto Liv with a chinlock but Liv endures. Natty thrashes Liv, Liv fights her way up, Liv arm-drags Natty off and CLOBBERS her! Cover, TWO!
Liv keeps on Natty but Natty trips her up! Natty steps through but Liv again kicks her away. Liv brings Natty up, whips but Natty reverses, only to take the LIV BREAKER! Cover, TWO!! Liv is furious but she sees Tamina coming. Liv runs and hits another LIV BREAKER! Natty bails out as Liv covers Tamina, Liv wins!!
Winner: Liv Morgan, by pinfall (joins Team SmackDown)
The Riott Squad will not be united on Team SmackDown! And Natty is furious! Is the #BOAT sinking faster and faster? Or can she still keep afloat with spots still left on the team?
Backstage interview with Drew McIntyre.
The Scottish Stud is ready to compete, but with the world title match on Raw, is it wise to take on a man who has been on a vicious hot streak like Jey Uso? McIntyre is happy for Jey stepping up. Jey has beaten two former world champions in a row. “Good for him.” And while McIntyre wanted to send a message to Roman, he also gets to send a message to Orton. McIntyre is in a great mood! But there’s also a lot of pent up anger. So a warning to Jey: “It’s a lot more humiliating to get your ass kicked in your own backyard.” Will McIntyre be confident all the way into his rematch with Orton? Or is Jey about to beat a third former world champion in a row?
Big E is in the middle of another playground style bet.
This backstage staffer is doing jump rope but he is short of 100! “A sucker is born every day!” Too easy getting that money. The Street Profits roll up with a cart and some pans. Last week, we ended with laughs but the Profits felt they crossed the line wanting a scoop on ya bois, the NEW~ DAY~! So they made the New Day some Guy Fieri worthy apology food. BOOM! Chocolate cake, apple slices and green beans! Nice, nice. But why are they all arranged like… an L… Oh, because ya bois are known for serving pancakes, but the Profits are serving up an L! IF the New Day retains the tag titles against The Hurt Business!
Big E says while the Profits are great athletes and champions, the best they’ll ever be is “New Day Lite. Great Value New Day. Knockoff New Day. Diet New Day!” Because at Survivor Series, the best tag team in the world, and Big E means the whole world, will be clear as day. The NEW~ DAY~! Big E laughs and the Profits join in again, but not for long. Will there be anything but jokes and laughs as we draw closer and closer to the battle between #TheBestoftheBest?
Unsanctioned Match: Drew McIntyre VS Jey Uso!
Raw VS SmackDown gets started early in this match! Will the Scottish Stud be rolling towards his newest rematch with Randy Orton? Or will Jey make up for stepping out of line by defeating another top tier superstar?
SmackDown returns, the bell rings and McIntyre circles with Jey. They tie up, McIntyre powers Jey to a corner and grinds him into buckles. The ref counts, McIntyre lets off and lets Jey out. Jey and McIntyre circle again, tie up, and Jey waistlocks. Jey shifts to a headlock and thrashes, but McIntyre powers out. McIntyre runs Jey over and then says, “C’mon, Uce!” Jey gets up slow, McIntyre is after him but Jey uppercuts! And again! Jey whips corner to corner but McIntyre reverses. Jey slides to a stop but runs into a double hand TOSS! McIntyre fires off on Jey, stomps away, then CHOPS him! Jey falls to his knees, his chest stinging, but McIntyre takes his shirt off to CHOP him again! NOW Jey is really stinging!
McIntyre drags Jey back up with a DEAD LIFT SUPLEX! McIntyre grins before he covers, TWO! Jey sputters and crawls but McIntyre stomps a hand! Jey clutches his fingers, McIntyre brings him up to whip him and run him over again! McIntyre dares Jey to get up. “Roman’s watching! Head of the table! Prove yourself!” McIntyre brings Jey up to CHOP him again! And bump him off buckles! Jey jawbreakers back! McIntyre wobbles, Jey whips but McIntyre reverses. Jey goes up but McIntyre kicks him out of the air! But Jey dumps McIntyre out, builds speed but runs into a big haymaker! McIntyre gets in, Jey kicks the ropes! McIntyre stops from being hit in the claymore and then Jey SUPERKICKS him out! Jey catches his breath as SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns once more, and now Jey rains down rights on McIntyre! Jey lets off and stalks McIntyre to ropes. McIntyre hits back, throws haymakers and CHOPS him again! McIntyre runs but Jey SAMOAN DROPS him! Cover, TWO! Jey watches McIntyre get to a corner. Jey stomps away on McIntyre but lets off at the ref’s count. Jey goes to the opposite corner, “UCE!” but he runs into a LARIAT! McIntyre rallies and whips to OVERHEAD SUPLEX Jey! Then he gets Jey in a corner, to OVERHEAD SUPLEX him again! Jey flounders about, McIntyre hits a leaping neckbreaker! And kips up! McIntyre drags Jey up, underhooks, but no Future Shock as Jey trips him up! Jackknife cover, TWO!
Jey mule kicks McIntyre, uppercuts him, but McIntyre HEADBUTTS! Jey wobbles from the Glasgow Kiss and McIntyre runs, but Jey follows, but runs into a POP-UP SIT-OUT BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Jey survives but McIntyre keeps his cool. McIntyre drags Jey up, but Jey breaks free to SUPERKICK him down! Jey heads to a corner and climbs up top! But McIntyre is right up to throw haymakers! McIntyre climbs, brings Jey up, but Jey trips McIntyre up! Jey throws headbutts of his own and McIntyre is in the Tree of Woe! Jey adjusts, McIntyre sits right up to SPIDER SUPLEX him away! McIntyre headstands out of the Tree and aims at Jey! Jey flounders up, but he bails out to deny the Claymore!
McIntyre goes out and brings Jey out to throw him into barriers! And then into the apron! Then into more barriers! Jey flounders and Roman’s music hits! McIntyre puts Jey in the ring and sees Roman heading down the ramp! But Jey POSTS McIntyre in the distraction! And POSTS him again! Jey grabs McIntyre to throw him into steel steps! The ref reprimands but Jey drags McIntyre into the ring. Jey says he’ll beat him now, but Roman keeps Jey out of the ring? “I don’t care if you beat him. Make him… understand.” Jey understands what Roman means, and slides in at the count of 8. Jey rains down furious fists over and over, from all sides! McIntyre can only guard himself but Jey lets off, only to turn into a CLAYMORE!! Cover, McIntyre wins!!
Winner: Drew McIntyre, by pinfall
Roman’s motivation wasn’t enough for Jey to beat McIntyre at all! And now McIntyre asks Roman, “Do you understand me now?” Roman says McIntyre still needs a title. Maybe then they’ll talk. Roman leaves without waiting for Jey. But will McIntyre be there on Survivor Series Sunday to “talk” with the Tribal Chief, champion to champion?
My Thoughts:
This was a really good SmackDown, though I hope they haven’t foreshadowed too much about Raw with McIntyre being here. It makes a lot of sense that McIntyre would want Roman to keep in mind it isn’t automatically Roman VS Orton. It was great for Jey to get a little too fired up, for Roman to get angry with him, and then go out to try and affect Jey’s match with McIntyre. A great match even before Roman showed up, naturally McIntyre wins and gets in Roman’s face, but I hope this doesn’t affect McIntyre’s chances of winning the world title. Actually, I suppose it would, because if McIntyre wins, that means we’re getting exactly what was set up tonight in these two battling to show us who is really the top dog in the WWE.
Sami VS Apollo for the Intercontinental Championship was sadly more a formality since a lot of titles have been put on the line before Survivor Series to see if matches change. Sami had another clever way of beating an opponent without having to battle him for too long, but I don’t think tricks like that will work if Lashley has MVP ringside for him. Setting up Otis VS Ziggler was painfully blatant, but Otis needed a win after the things he’s been losing. I’m curious as to Gable wanting to recruit Otis to some kind of self-help academy, but I think it’ll actually benefit them both if this turns into a feud. Gable is becoming the cocky Heel high on his own accomplishments, but surely he’ll be taken down a peg over time.
It was a little funny for Natty to turn Pearce’s expectations around. The winningest woman in WWE history wants to be on the team by default, but she’s starting to become the losingest woman since she keeps striking out. Of course, they are Triple Threats and now a Fatal 4 Way. She’ll probably demand a 1v1 to have a fair chance. I am pleasantly surprised that it wasn’t Chelsea Green just getting in because she was added last minute. The SmackDown women’s team will be far less dysfunctional than Raw’s since the Riott Squad are together and teaming up with someone established as a friend of theirs in Bianca Belair. Of course, that can always change with the last two spots left to fill.
For the story of Rey and Rollins having been dragged out for as long as it was, which is to say perhaps a little too long, with too much melodrama, the “Final Chapter” was a great No Holds Barred match. I’m glad the mind games Murphy was playing with Rollins weren’t dragged out, either. Murphy gets his own revenge on Rollins to help Rey, and while that part of the story is over, I can only imagine how Rollins VS Murphy will go. I also don’t know how the apparent romance of Murphy and Aalyah is going to go, but it’s bound to be a messy end. I hope someone at least comes out a title contender from this. Maybe we get a battle of bloodlines as Roman and Jey take on Rey and Dom, maybe even throw Murphy in should Jimmy “fall in line” with the family. That much would at least make up for some things.
My Score: 8.3/10

Mercedes Mone & Kamille walk ‘n’ talk.
The CEO wants eyes up here, cameraman. “Tacomaaa~! Say hello to your Double Champion, The C E O. And we have arrived! Now where is my locker room?” Mone asks a AEW staff member that very question, and hopes she has her espresso machine. She has to get ready for the show. Queen Aminata steps in to say that she doesn’t care who Mone is, or how many titles she has, or what she’s done in this business. There is no reason to be rude like this. Oh, no reason~! Who even are YOU? Mone has no time for Aminata. Now, to her locker room! The CEO has disrespected a queen, will she come to regret it?

As I recall, last time I saw you, I beat you without breaking a sweat. And then I went on to make several movies and several millions. Bu tone second.”
MJF rains down more fists! Then MJF says Garcia’s been up to big stuff since then, too. Apparently there was a bidding war? That was about as real as the Seattle Supersonics. The fans boo that but MJF says he’s talking, Seattle! Oh wait, this is Tacoma! WHO GIVES A S*IT!?

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee Paquette doesn’t do the CEO introduction she did on Tuesday, but now it’s not good enough for the Two Belt Boss! Mone says she needs something something, more flava. Then joining her now is- Okay, no, Renee is better off just asking the questions. Renee congratulates Mone on her double title defense victory on Title Tuesday, but those chops from Emi Sakura…! It was like one after another! Wasn’t it like 30 or something? Mone & Kamille tell Renee to stop. Mone is still feeling the pain. But she is The CEO, she has no time for this, it is time to handle business. She has to go jump on her private jet, something Renee knows nothing about!
But Kamille is staying here to watch Kris Statlander very closely. And do you know why? Because money changes everything! Bye-bye, Renee. Mone heads out, Brickhouse stays, and Renee sheepishly exits. Will Kamille make sure the #BornAgainKristen doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk?
The Acclaimed VS ???
Speaking of talking and walking, Platinum Max Caster leads the way for Anthony Bowens as they- GET JUMPED BY MXM COLLECTION!? The fans boo as Mansoor & Mason Madden beat down Caster & Bowens! Mason may have been a football player but he dribbles Caster off the ramp while Mansoor stomps away on Bowens! Mason RIPS the customized jacket, to then CHOKE Caster with it! Mansoor runs Bowens right into the side of the tunnel! MXM is getting revenge for their New York fashion show finale being ruined, and they place The Acclaimed side by side on stage.
Mansoor has Caster’s mic to say, “Now you see what happens, huh!? Now you see what happens when Daddy Ass isn’t around to protect you. We drop you on YOUR asses! And I bet you didn’t think we could do it, huh? I bet none of you thought MXM Collection were capable of this!” Bowens tris to sit up but Mansoor stomps him down. Mansoor says MXM didn’t wanna take it this far! They wanted to keep it light. They wanted to keep it fun. But Acclaimed took something special from them! They took MXM’s Grand Slam Collision moment away!
“So now, we are going to take something from you. Tomorrow night, WrestleDream, MXM Collection BEAT The Acclaimed, and WE are going to take YOUR spot!” The fans boo, but Mansoor says when numbers are even, MXM come out on top. Tomorrow night, MXM will have a very special surprise in their corner. It will be a third man, and Acclaimed, Mansoor promises them, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that third man will make sure they KILL scissoring and bury it once and for all! Mansoor then shouts to Mason, “Touch! My! Tip!” They finger boop as the fans boo, but both challenge and promise have been made. Who will be that third man, brother?
Kris Statlander speaks.
“You ever feel like somewhere along the way, you lost who you were? That’s exactly what happened to me. When you make a change, you need to think where you went wrong or how you got there. For me, everything went wrong when Mercedes Mone showed up. My best friend became obsessed with her. I let Stokely get in my ear, and I got led down the wrong path. I didn’t know who I was, but I did what I needed to do. And on the five year anniversary of Dynamite, I was reminded of who I am. I became ‘Born Again Kristen,’ and I am the biggest, baddest, strongest woman in AEW. I’m coming for Mercedes Mone and her TBS title.”
The Galaxy’s Greatest has her head on straight, but will she be able to earn that shot at championship redemption in the background of WrestleDream?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Renee is with Cassidy, Kyle and Rocky, and she commends Cassidy & Kyle on their win over The Kingdom. And tonight, Rocky is going to step into the ring with “The Bad Apple,” Bryan Keith. How does he feel ahead of his match? Rocky says he’s a little pissed. On Title Tuesday, The Learning Tree said Rocky was just some lackey for The Conglomeration. But Rocky is no man’s lackey! Tonight, he shows the Learning Tree, and most importantly Bryan Keith, that Rocky is his own man. Kyle says that’s right, Rocky. But um, Mark Briscoe isn’t here tonight, so what’s the word of the day? Kyle really needs to know.
Rocky says the word of the day is they stand back here while he handles business. Rocky heads out, will Azucar get himself some sweet victory? Or will The Bad Apple make him taste bitter defeat?
Kris Statlander VS Amira!
With The CEO’s Brickhouse watching backstage, #BornAgainKristen looks to keep her win streak going. Will there be no stopping Kris on her road back to the TBS Championship?
The bell rings, and Kris runs right up to UPPERCUT Amira in a corner! Then she goes side to side to KNEE Amira, and reels her in for a suplex! Kris holds Amira up to show off that strength, and then she SLAMS Amira down! Kris kips up and the fans fire up! Kris storms back up on Amira, but Amira fires forearms!

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Another win that wasn’t just strong, but fast! Kamille is only moderately impressed, but will she be feeling different about Kris after they have a head-on Collision?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee is with The Learning Tree and brings up tomorrow night, WrestleDream, and the ROH World Championship match with Mark Briscoe. However, Jericho has quickly made this match personal with Mark, what is going on? Jericho smiles and says, “Hi, guys~! You know what’s personal to me, Renee? It’s the legacy of Chris Jericho. And after 34 years in this business, I can honestly say I’ve done and seen it all. I have headlined the biggest buildings in the world, from the Tokyo Dome to Madison Square Garden, to Rod Laver Arena in Sydney, Australia. Arena Mexico, everything. Nobody has had the impact over generations like Chris Jericho has.
“And now, it’s the dawn of a new Chris Jericho. As you know, I always reinvent myself, evolve. I was The Ocho. But now, it’s time for The Nueve. And Mark Briscoe, you know what the word of the day is? It’s, ‘Humbled.’ And you need to be humbled. Cuz you got a great rep, everyone feels for you. They give you a lot of free rides. You get to cut a lot of corners. The fans feel the same way, I don’t. So at WrestleDream tomorrow, I am going to humble you, Mark Briscoe. And if I made things personal, that’s just too bad. If I’m getting inside your head, that’s just what Chris Jericho does.
“So tomorrow at WrestleDream, I will become the ROH World Champion, for a second time! Just like Jay Briscoe, two-time ROH Champion. And Mark, that’s going to be personal. See you tomorrow. The Nueve’s coming. Thanks, guys~!” Jericho stops smiling, but will he fail to keep that promise against a very angry Sussex County Chicken?
The Beast Mortos VS The Butcher!
Roderick Strong is on commentary to claim Beast Mortos has simply wondered away from The Kingdom, and he just needs to see he cannot trust Jake The Snake Roberts. But will Mortos only focus on destroying his opponent? Or can The Butcher make Mortos in a prime cut of beef?
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. The fans rally, the two tie up again, and then the two break again. Butcher and Mortos fire up, tie up again, and push each other back and forth. Butcher puts Mortos in the corner, the fans chant “BEAT THAT MEAT!” but the ref counts. Butcher backs off, he and Mortos reset, and they tie up again. They’re in another deadlock, but now Mortos powers Butcher back. Mortos lets off, but then SMACKS Butcher! The fans fire up as Butcher snarls. Butcher and Mortos tie up, and Butcher wrenches an arm to a wristlock.
Mortos goes up the ropes to flip through! Mortos wrenches, headlocks, but Butcher powers out. They RAM shoulders, and Butcher says Mortos’s got nothing! Mortos runs, he RAMS Butcher again, and Butcher says that’s nothing! Mortos fires up, runs, and RAMS Butcher again! Mortos eggs Butcher on, so Butcher runs, and Mortos drops! Mortos runs up, Butcher dodges but Mortos dodges back! Mortos rolls off Butcher’s back, then SOBATS! Front kick! ELBOW! Snapmare, and NECK TWIST!

Butcher BOOTS Mortos, but Mortos fires up! Mortos runs in, Butcher dodges, and Mortos hits the corner! Mortos tumbles up and out, Butcher pursues, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Butcher CLUBS Mortos, then brings him around to whip into the apron! Butcher LARIATS Mortos down, and he looms over the beast. Butcher drags Mortos up, to then APRON BACK SUPLEX! Mortos staggers then falls over, and Butcher refreshes the ring count. Butcher ROCKS Mortos, CHOPS him, then stalks him around the way. Mortos SMACKS Butcher! Butcher ROCKS Mortos!

Mortos backs Butcher down, fires up, but Butcher CLOBBERS him from behind! Butcher drops a knee on Mortos, Mortos goes to a corner, and Butcher digs his boots in.

Roddy says he was Mortos’ good luck charm! Jake the Snake is watching, he likes what he sees from his new client. But will Mortos be able to bring down Hologram in their WrestleDream Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is with the wild Aussie and asks if there’s any update on Saraya, who suffered in that brutal loss on Title Tuesday in that Fatal 4 Way. Harley says yes, Saraya is once again “incapacitated.” Then how is Harley holding up? She’s capacitated. What? Exactly! But do you know whose fault this really is? Does Renee know whom? Who? No, whom. Just say whom. ANNA JAY! What? She wasn’t even in the match! Exactly! It was an Anything Goes, so Anna could’ve been that anything, but she didn’t show up. Harley had to pull wood outta her ass, but where was Anna? Probably home watching her Stardom tapes? Ohh~!
All of a sudden, Anna goes to Japan and now she’s too big for the rest of them? Anna was supposed to be Saraya’s friend, but she wasn’t there, and now Saraya is pissed. And when Saraya is pissed, Harley kicks ass! Renee is confused, Harley says no more questions, and Harley storms off. Will the Star of the Show pay for simply doing nothing?
Lance Archer VS Matt Brannigan!
He may be part of the Don Callis Family now, but he’s still the Murderhawk Monster! He demolished people in the parking lot, he demolished his opponent on ROH last night, will he just keep on demolishing people until he’s become a champion?
The bell rings and Brannigan flexes right up in Archer’s face, but then regrets it. Archer choke grips, but Brannigan slips free! Brannigan dodges in the corner, CHOPS, but again regrets it. He CHOPS again, and again, then tries a choke grip! Archer just pries the hand away to LARIAT Brannigan inside-out! Archer whips Brannigan, BACKDROPS him, and the fans fire up! Brannigan goes to a corner. Archer runs in to ELBOW! Archer keeps going, and he ELBOWS Brannigan again! And then ELBOWS him again! Brannigan falls, the fans fire up, and Archer drags Brannigan to his feet. Double choke grip, for a TOSS overhead!
The fans fire up while Brannigan flounders. Archer reminds us, “EVERYBODY DIES!” Archer stands Brannigan up, tells the ref to back off, and he CHOPS Brannigan down! The fans fire up, Archer puts Brannigan back in the corner, and he fakes the chop. The fans boo but Archer puts Brannigan up top. UPPERCUT, and then crucifix lift! BLACKOUT BOMB! Cover, Archer wins!
Winner: Lance Archer, by pinfall
Callis loves the dominance of his Murderhawk Monster, but will Callis help Archer finally have gold here in AEW?
Jake the Snake speaks.
It was just after Title Tuesday and the world saw La Faccion Ingobernable join this living legend when Jake Roberts said, “Anybody that knows Jake Roberts knows that Jake Roberts has been all over the world, wrestled everyone. From Andre the Giant to Hulk Hogan and back. It did not matter. But they also know that Jake Roberts never cared about rules. Rules are for children. We’re not children. My friend, what we have here, matadors? Maybe. Maybe ninjas, who knows. I will tell you this: They’re hungry. What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. Because when Jake Roberts tells you something, you can take it to heart.
“Rules are meant to be broken, like bones. And my friend, they’ll be glad to do both for you.” Rush tells us all to remember: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! LFI throw up the fists, who will get those fists in their face in the very near future?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Renee is now with The Star of the Show and brings up the harsh words from Harley. Harley blames Anna for not being a friend? Anna says yes, that’s right, they’re not friends, never were friends. It was a one-time team up, and they took some nice pictures, but Anna’s not running out to the ring to help two women who wouldn’t even spit on her if she was on fire. Anna takes care of herself, and that is fine. She has her own back, and needs both hands. What has she been saying since getting back? #JustTryMe. So what’s so hard about that? Anna is here and ready for anyone.
Harley wants to kick Anna’s ass? This one? Anna shows it to the camera. Just a heads up, this ass can kick back. Harley has been warned, will she reconsider her misplaced aggression?
Rocky Romero VS Bryan Keith!
Azucar may not be on the current Conglomeration merch shirt, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less a part of the team. Will Rocky make sure everyone, especially The Bad Apple, understands that?
But Keith doesn’t wait for the bell, he attacks Rocky at the corner! The bell does ring, Keith fires off forearms, and the ref reprimands. Keith lets off just to dig his boot in, but the ref tells Keith to stop. Keith snatches Rocky’s eyepatch away, then SMACKS him with it! Keith CHOPS Rocky, whips him corner to corner, but Rocky goes up and up to CROSSBODY! Rocky rains down fists, and he fires up! The fans fire up with Rocky but Keith bails out. Rocky finally takes off his jacket, and goes out after Keith. Keith knees low, whips, but Rocky stops from hitting steps! Rocky SMACKS Keith off steps, then uses steps to go up and FLYING RANA!
The fans fire up while Rocky gives some Latino Heat. Rocky puts Keith in, climbs a corner, but Keith bails out. The fans boo, but then Rocky WRECKS Keith with a dropkick! Rocky hurries out after Keith and the fans rally again. Rocky uses steps again, but Keith catches Rocky! EXPLODERÂ to the floor! Rocky writhes and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Keith storms up on Rocky, rains down fists, but stops as the ref reprimands. Keith paces around, drags Rocky up, and CHOPS him! Rocky staggers away, Keith storms up and CHOPS again. Keith whips Rocky hard into railing! Rocky falls in a heap but Keith still seethes. Keith drags Rocky up, puts him in, and then drags Rocky up just to snapmare him back down. Keith drops a knee on Rocky’s face! Cover, TWO! Keith argues the count but Aubrey defends that two is two. Keith storms after Rocky to CHOP him in a corner. Keith stalks Rocky, bumps him off buckles, then puts him against ropes!
Aubrey counts, Keith lets off, and Keith puts Rocky in a corner. Keith whips corner to corner, Rocky reverses, then Rocky runs up to LARIAT! Rocky fires up, runs again, LARIAT! That’s two-ever but Rocky keeps moving, only for Keith to use Aubrey as a shield! Jericho really has taught him well. Rocky helps Aubrey aside, and he fires haymakers on Keith! Rocky ROCKS Keith, then whips corner to corner. Keith reverses, runs up, and he LARIATS Rocky inside-out! Keith then shouts at the camera, probably “RESPECT CHRIS JERICHO!” Keith clamps onto Rocky with a chinlock and grinds him down.
Rocky endures, pries at the hold, and fights up to his feet. Rocky fires body shots, then ROCKS Keith! And ROCKS him again! Keith CHOPS, Rampage returns to single picture, then he runs up. Rocky BOOTS back, but Keith just roars! Rocky BOOTS him again, then CHOPS Keith on the back! Rocky CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Keith in the chest, then puts Keith in a corner. Rocky KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away, then stomps a mudhole! Rocky digs both boots in, but Aubrey counts. Rocky lets off and is all fired up, as is Spokane. Rocky waits on Keith, runs in at him, but Keith dodges! Keith runs in, but into an UPPERCUT!
Rocky goes up and up and FLYING TORNADO DDTS! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives but Rocky stays focused. Rocky drags Keith up, then runs up to SLICED- NO, Keith slips free of the bread. Keith fires elbows, Rocky ducks one, but Keith runs up ropes! Rocky denies Keith his tornado DDT, and then wrenches, only for Keith to ROCK him! Underhooks, TIGERÂ KNEE STRIKE! Cover, TWO!! Rocky survives and Keith is stunned! Keith pulls at his hair in frustration but the fans rally up. Keith tells the kids to sit down, and he watches Rocky go to a corner. Keith runs in, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI!
Rocky goes up, leaps, but into another clinch! EXP- SUNSET FLIP! Keith rolls through, blocks a kick, ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL! Rocky runs up, SLICED BREAD!! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives again and the fans fire up! Rocky pounds the mat, the fans rally behind him, and he goes to a corner. Rocky climbs, but Keith hurries after him! Rocky fights the clinch, ROCKS Keith, but Keith RISING HEADBUTTS! Keith roars, fans boo, but Keith climbs up. Keith turns Rocky around, and BITES Rocky’s head! Aubrey reprimands, but Keith brings Rocky up, only for Rocky to fight! Rocky HEADBUTTS, and cravats!
The fans fire up for the SUPER SLICED BREAD!! Rocky clutches a leg, crawls to the cover, but Keith rolls away! Keith saves himself and fans boo as he goes to the floor. Rocky is frustrated, but he just builds speed. Rocky DIVES and down goes Keith! The fans fire up again and Rocky hobbles after Keith. Rocky drags Keith up, puts him in the ring, and the fans rally again. But Keith talks to Aubrey about pain in his neck. BIG BILL APPEARS, and he YANKS Rocky down! Then he BOOTS Rocky down! The fans boo but Bill puts Rocky in, Aubrey completely missing it! Keith runs in to KNEE Rocky at the corner!
Keith goes up and he reels Rocky in! DIAMOND DUST!! Cover, Keith wins!!
Winner: Bryan Keith, by pinfall
Kyle & Cassidy hurry out here but it is too late! The Bad Apple scores his win off Azucar, and he leaves to celebrate with The Redwood. Will there be no stopping The Learning Tree from having gold in his branches? Or can Mark Briscoe #ManUp and prevent The Nueve’s arrival?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even for a go-home, but clearly it suffered from the same dilemma as Dynamite in that with no Collision to take the pressure off, a lot more promos and story build had to be put here. Good promo from Mone to play off the one from Tuesday, good promo from Statlander to give us some idea as to why she got away from Stokely, and of course Kris squashes her opponent. Kris VS Kamille is going to be great stuff, and I think Kris sets herself up for a match with Mone at Full Gear. Good promo from Harley and Anna to set up their own match, which I would think Anna wins to get going towards her own title shot.
The Acclaimed being scheduled for a match just so MXM can jump them was pretty clever, but do they really need to have their match on WrestleDream? It feels like the only reason it’s a PPV match is because this third man will pull a Hulk Hogan founding NWO type move. It’ll be a Face going Heel and joining up. I don’t think it’ll be Daddy Ass, there has been no hint he wants out of The Acclaimed. It might be Caster because he wants to break away and prove he on his own is “The Best Wrestler Alive.” This blindside attack would then be a way to disguise that, because Caster got beat up as much as Bowens, but I guess we’ll wait and see.
Mortos VS Butcher was great stuff, and I found it kinda funny that Roddy was on commentary trying to still turn Mortos back to his side. Roddy & The Kingdom claiming all this stuff about Mortos has been pretty funny because clearly it’s all their delusion. Mortos is LFI, he and Hologram are going to have an awesome, potentially show stealing match, and then win or lose, Mortos and LFI will beat up The Kingdom. As such, good promo from Jake the Snake, I really hope LFI gets going this time. Meanwhile, Archer of course destroyed Brannigan, and likewise, let’s hope Archer can get a title now that Callis is his guy.
And really good stuff out of The Conglomeration’s story tonight. Very good tag match to open, can’t go wrong with Cassidy & Kyle VS Kingdom. What’s interesting was the respectful handshake after the match, so that further implies The Kingdom is going Face so they can battle LFI. Good promo from Jericho to give some last hype to the ROH World Championship, but I would hope Mark Briscoe wins. Rocky had a very good promo with Conglomeration, and a great match against Bryan Keith. But I just had a feeling Keith would win thanks to Bill, and good detail that Conglomeration didn’t get out there in time. That technically did honor Rocky’s request that they stay back, but Rocky should’ve known better. I would hope Rocky doesn’t cost Mark the title, we cannot go back to “Ring of Jericho”. No Nueve, por favor.
My Score: 8.6/10
