The Street Profits are in the Champions’ Lounge!
The SmackDown Tag Team Champions asks if you’re ready~, ready~, ready~ for this! They repo’d this from Shinsuke Nakamura and Cesaro just in time for Survivor Series! It will be a final farewell to the Undertaker! The Dead Man, Big Evil, the Phenom! Taker rolling into the room and rolling those eyes back always got Ford fired up. Wait, what’s going on? Is it… “Rest… In…” Big E! Why is it a sombrero? That’s all they had in props. But speaking of being buried, they’re just two days from- Yeah, they know. Two days from beating The New Day and giving Kofi his Jamaican accent back. S O S! No, that’s never coming back!
Big E says they were two days away from facing a man who won the world title at the Show of Shows, Kofi Kingston, and the most underrated wrestler in the world, Xavier Woods! They are facing the Picassos of Punches. the Monets of Moves. The Basquiat of Beatdowns! But they’re against the team too fine for wine so they went with champagne. The Triple Crown Champs that always put it down! And at this historic Survivor Series, the new day comes to an end, because all Profits do is win, win, win. They’ll break bread with ya bois any other day, but this Sunday, they’re whooping those A double dollar signs. And why? Becaaaause #WeWantTheSmoke!
Well you don’t have to sell it to Big E. Sell it to Kofi and Woods! Because they’re here! AWWW~ Street Profiiits~! Don’t you dare be sour! Clap for your world famous TEN TIME CHAMPS, and FEEL~ the POWER~! Big E is telling the truth, because the Raw Tag Team Champions are heading to the ring! The Brand to Brand Invitation is in effect as Woods says, “We know we don’t even go here no more, but we were invited. So we said why not?” Come back to see giant fists smashing through glass! Stay in the SmackDown Hotel one more time! Give the WWE on Fox Twitter account something to tweet! But they’re also here because we’re just days away from Survivor Series, and they want to talk with the Profits.
The Profits are talking about passing the torch, but they’re right to want the smoke and ONLY the smoke! They don’t want this fire, because they’d be dead men! Whoa, that’s harsh, Woods. No it was a segue into Taker. Oh right! And as a tribute to Taker, they will recreate his signature SIT UP! That’s a strong sit up! But wait, here comes Sami Zayn! Sami says all anyone can talk about is Taker when we’re headed into one of the biggest PPV of the year! Fun fact that no one knows: The only reason Taker is saying this is his final farewell is because he knows Sami owes him payback for the Madison Square Garden choke slam! WWE is letting Taker take the coward’s way out!
But the one who can’t take that way out is Lashley! And WWE would love to protect “tha United States Champeen,” who looks good in a suit and all that. But Sami will show the world that the Intercontinental Champion is better than the US Champion! Now, New Day, Sami wants to make this clear. He isn’t here to hurt them. He could, but he won’t. Instead of New Day yammering on about Taker, talk about the hottest thing in WWE, talk about the master strategist, the Champion of the People, Sami Zayn! Well, uh, they can try that. Maybe even something nice. Sami’s outfit is great! He looks like a recently divorced dad who got a down payment on a studio apartment! King of the castle of 400 square feet!
But speaking of kings, here comes the King of the Ring! Yes, Woods finally gets his crown! No, that’s not this! Baron Corbin wants Sami to stand up to New Day> It was bad enough for McIntyre to show up, but now these guys? Didn’t they just have their farewell match? First off, Corbin, great crown, that’ll look even better on Woods. Secondly, the farewell was about being SmackDown superstars. They’re now Raw superstars and they’re visiting. Super simple. Well Corbin make it simple: They don’t belong on HIS show! So go! Yeah, their show! Wait, here comes Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode! “Wait a minute, what is this here?” Corbin and Ziggler are bros, but bros before ho-luva kicks. Ziggler doesn’t like Sami being in this situation but that’s for later.
Ziggler says New Day needs to go, or they’ll get fired on their day off. It was real “cute” for them and the Profits to just trade titles, but y’know what? It cost Roode and Ziggler an opportunity >They should be champions, not the New Day! And the New Day knows that if they had another match, the Glorious Show-Offs would be champions, not them! So they want a match, is that it? How about one with a twist? The titles can be defended on a different show, right? But against who? Who who who? Ziggler and Roode are great and all, but y’know who might be better? The King of SmackDown, Your Highness, his name etched in the Hall of Fame! But Corbin is going to let these two stand in his way to immortality? Block his path?
Ziggler says there’s no beef here. Corbin says he and Sami aren’t a team. Sami agrees, but if they did team, they’d beat Roode and Ziggler, no offense. No, Sami would hold him back. Sami argues with Ziggler, but Sami points out they’re not a team. Woods gets it. This is good. These four should have a match right here tonight, and the winners get a shot at the W, W, E, Raw, Tag, Team, CHAMPIONSHIPS~! Kofi says it’s enticing, everyone loves titles, and it looks like the four might start fighting! But then they all go after the New Day! So here come the Street Profits!
The SmackDown champions throw down Roode and Dolph then go after the king and… Sami. Corbin stays up but the New Day double clothesline him out! Ford FLIES to bowl everyone over! But Kofi and Woods wanted to do that. Will they get a chance after this sorts out during break?
8 Man Tag: The New Day & Street Profits VS Baron Corbin, Sami Zayn, Robert Roode & Dolph Ziggler!
The Raw and SmackDown Tag Team Champions combine forces to take on common enemies! Will Kofi, Woods, Montez and Dawkins be able to work together when they know they’ll be going 2v2 in two days?
SmackDown returns as Ford fights up out of Ziggler’s sleeper hold. Ziggler throws haymakers and then whips Ford to a corner. Ford goes up and over and shows off with a flip. Things speed up, Ford hurdles and hurdles and dropkicks Ziggler down! Ford drags Ziggler up, wrenches and tags Dawkins before the whip. Dawkins runs Ziggler over, then back suplex splashes Ford down! Cover, TWO! Dawkins brings Ziggler up but Ziggler kicks a leg and dropkicks Dawkins down! “That’s how it’s done!” Tag to Roode but Dawkins dropkicks him down! Dawkins wrenches, tags Kofi, and Kofi wrenches but Roode knees low.
Roode headlocks, Kofi power out and things speed up. Kofi hurdles, hurdles and back elbows! Kofi dropkicks Roode to the corner, has even move aside, “Time to turn up!” Kofi stomps a mudhole, tags Woods, and Woods stomps. The New Day classic stampede gets momentarily disrupted as Ford tags in, but then Kofi tags in to keep it going. Kofi whips Woods in for a basement dropkick to Roode! Cover, TWO! Woods drags Roode up, wrenches but Roode whips him away to elbow him down hard! Roode grimaces as he tags in Corbin. Corbin drags the would be king to throw hands on him! The ref counts, Corbin brings Woods around but Woods throws body shots and CHOPS!
CHOP CHOP CHOP and Woods whips, but Corbin reveres. Woods boots back from the corner, and Honor Rolls into DEEP SIX! Cover, TWO! Corbin seethes as he drags Woods up by his hair and beard. Corbin throws elbows into the head and shoulders but the ref gets him to let off. Sami taunts Woods and Corbin drags Woods up to choke grip. Woods slips out of the chokeslam to sunset flip, TWO! Hot tag to Ford! Ford fires off, mule kicks and front kicks to dropkick! Ford dodges to LEAPING LARIAT! STANDING MOONSAULT! Cover but Roode and Dolph break it! Dawkins and the New Day go after them and Sami!
Kofi runs at Roode, misses in the corner then goes up, but FORD takes it?! Dawkins asks what happened and Kofi says it was a mistake! Kofi tries to figure out how it happened, though, and SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns, Ford is in another chinlock from Ziggler but is fighting up as fans rally on their screens. Ford is up, throws body shots, but Ziggler throws Ford down! Ziggler drags Ford away, tags in Corbin, but Corbin is upset that A) Sami is barking orders and B) isn’t even considering a tag. Corbin throws hands on Ford but Ford hits back! Ford kicks but Corbin throws Ford into another corner! Corbin throws a knee but Ford throws an elbow! Ford crossbodies but into a POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO! Corbin clamps onto Ford and then rains down furious fists! Corbin glares at Dawkins and the New Day while he drags Ford up.
Corbin brings Ford over, clubs him in the chest, then tags Ziggler. Ziggler brings Ford out but Ford ROCKS him with a right! Ford ROCKS Ziggler again, but Ziggler shoves him back into the corner! Ford hits whoever but Ziggler punches him down. Ziggler back suplexes but Ford lands on his feet to enziguri! Both men are down again, their teams rally up, hot tags to Roode and Kofi!

Winners: The New Day & The Street Profits, by pinfall
Dawkins is upset with Kofi, Woods is upset with Dawkins, but whatever they feel now is second to the match they’ll have this Sunday! Between Raw and SmackDown, who will prove they are #TheBestoftheBest tag team champions today?
Daniel Bryan and Kayla Braxton are on standby backstage.
But before the interview can start, Sami comes in, complaining to a ref and arguing about the result. Sami wasn’t holding a tag rope! That’s not legal! But is this funny to Bryan? Are they all getting a kick out of seeing Sami get screwed over? Does Bryan think he’s better than Sami for getting the big returns? Everyone needs to show him the respect he deserves! Bryan SLAPS Sami down! Sami gets up but says if it weren’t for his match with Lashley, he’d be fighting Bryan now! Sami won’t forget this! Sami storms off and Bryan says he did that for social distancing. Will Bryan take care of his issue with Jey to then worry about Sami?
SmackDown returns with a proper interview of Daniel Bryan.
Bryan’s new haircut is definitely something. But three weeks ago, he lost to Jey Uso in a Team SmackDown qualifier. However, that wasn’t enough. Footage replays of Jey falling in line behind Roman Reigns, and brutalizing Bryan all around ringside with multiple Uso Splashes, one of which being through the announce desk. Even that wasn’t enough as Jey pushed Bryan’s stretcher over to give him one last splash! Knowing what Jey is willing to do now, is Bryan concerned about returning? Bryan understands why they’d think that. But Jey’s interview saying it wasn’t personal, Bryan believes him. Jey has a devil on his shoulder, talking and shouting very loudly, pushing him around. Bryan gets that. Everyone has a devil and an angel, even Bryan.
But right now, as Bryan prepares and sees that footage, which one do you think is reminding Bryan of the injuries, of how he couldn’t hold his daughter and how she cried seeing him? Is Bryan worried about coming back? No. Jey should be worried, though. Because it’s nothing personal.
Adam Pearce talks with Team SmackDown’s fifth man!
It was Pearce’s honor to be the one to decide on who fills out SmackDown’s men’s team. An opportunity everyone wanted, but the story alone is what made Pearce think of this man! This man’s tenacity and ability to bounce back from losing so much is what the team needs! The fifth man is… OTIS! “Ohhh yeah~!” Otis won’t let the team down! And Chad Gable is proud of him! “We did it!” They tapped in to Otis’ inner alpha, and there’s nothing that is impossible. Now they have to prepare for Survivor Series!
Natty runs over and is upset. If Pearce has the power to just select someone to a team, why is she facing Tamina for one of the last spots? Yes, but Pearce only has the power to choose one person for each team. That last person has to be a proven leader and competitor, which is why he chose… Bayley. WHAT?! Does he know who Natty is?! She’s the #BOAT, Best of All Time! What is he doing?! What he’s doing now is saying her match is next. Natty swishes her ponytail into Pearce’s face as she storms off. Will the winningest woman just focus on winning her way onto the team?
Seth Rollins speaks.
“Murphy. Before I took you under my wing, you were nothing. A nobody. And then I saved you.” Rollins gave Murphy new life, and is responsible for everything good Murphy has in that life! Murphy’s burgeoning career, his bright future, and even his beautiful girlfriend. “Because remember, Murphy. If it wasn’t for me and the greater good, you wouldn’t have even met Aalyah.” And what does Murphy do to thank him? STAB HIM IN THE BACK! He gets set up, betrayed! But Rollins wants Murphy to remember that Rollins will no longer suffer for Murphy’s mistake. Murphy will pay for them. And when Rollins teaches him this final lesson, Murphy will go back to being what he was before: nothing.
Survivor Series Women’s Team SmackDown Qualifier: Natalya VS Tamina!
The Queen of Harts and Daughter of Superfly have tried to qualify before, but this is their last chance! Who joins Bianca Belair, the Riott Squad and now Bayley on Team SmackDown to face Lacey Evans, Peyton Royce, Lana, and the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions this Sunday?
Speaking of Team SmackDown, Bianca is on commentary to watch this. Bianca is cut off by BAYLEY joining commentary! Bayley already brags how she was Pearce’s choice, and “wishes” Natty luck. The bell rings and Natty dodges Tamina to throw haymakers! Tamina shoves Natty and SUPERKICKS her down! Natty bails out while Bayley pulls up a chair. Natty checks her jaw but Tamina heads out to grab her and whip her into steps! Bayley says she should’ve been invited to commentary, because “I’M THE CAPTAIN!” Tamina covers Natty, TWO! Bianca says Bayley isn’t captain of anything. Bianca respects what Bayley has done, but Bianca won her way onto this team.
In the ring, Tamina fireman’s carries Natty but Natty fights off to waistlock. Tamina powers Natty into buckles, and the Riott Squad is watching as Tamina throws elbows! Tamina goes corner to corner but Natty dodges and Tamina POSTS her self! Bayley keeps laughing at her own jokes but Natty DISCUS clotheslines Tamina! And then puts on the SHARPSHOOTER! Tamina taps, Natty is finally on the team!
Winner: Natalya, by submission (joins Team SmackDown)
Bayley celebrates for the team and wants the rest of the team to join them. The squad walks out and Bayley wants Bianca to join in, too. Bianca doesn’t want to if it’s Bayley’s orders. Natty hugs Bayley but Bayley doesn’t do that anymore. Bayley claps at Bianca, “Join, the, team.” Bianca and the Squad do join Natty and Bayley in the ring and they stand together. Will this fearsome five be enough to take down Team Raw?
Drew McIntyre heads to the ring!
Raw’s WWE World Champion is back, because he and The Tribal Chief are to sign a contract for their Survivor Series match! We’ll see Roman Reigns arrive, after the break.
SmackDown returns and Adam Pearce sits with McIntyre in the ring. Roman makes his entrance, with his Special Counsel by his side. Roman joins McIntyre and Pearce in the ring, but he makes Pearce give up his chair since that’s the head of the table. Roman and McIntyre stare each other down before Pearce thanks them for joining him. This is very simple: they will sign the contract and the match will be official. Roman tells Pearce to sit down, so Pearce takes the open chair. Roman says he knew McIntyre could do it. Roman believed he could. Wanna know why? “I’ve been in your shoes.” All the lessons, Roman’s already learned them. Heyman told Roman something and Roman will tell McIntyre now, “You are the right guy in the right place, at the wrong time.”
McIntyre says he knows what Roman is trying to do. Roman’s trying to get in McIntyre’s head, piss him off, get him to attack. But that won’t happen. McIntyre has the match. He could sit here, talk about how he feels about Roman and how Roman does business. Roman can talk about McIntyre, or about himself which is his obvious preference. McIntyre will just get to the point. “You told me, ‘go out and win a title.’ I won the title. Not for you, but for me.” And then Pearce told McIntyre to be here to sign the contract and make this official, so he will. McIntyre puts pen to paper then passes it all to Roman for his turn. “Your show, your move.” But McIntyre gives Roman some advice: “Please underestimate me. Use these last two days of peace to prepare for war.”
Roman takes the contract, smirks as he takes his time picking up the pen, but Heyman makes sure it is a different pen so he and McIntyre won’t have touched the same thing. But then Roman thinks on how McIntyre was trying to give him advice. The Counsel advises the Chief. This IS Roman’s show, and this is Roman’s company! Roman allows McIntyre to sit under the learning tree with one last lesson. Sunday, McIntyre is not going to like “the brutal truth, but one day you will. And that is, you are… a secondary title holder.” McIntyre is a prop, a stand-in! He’s the guy with the title that they use when Roman’s busy or just doesn’t want to do something. That is who McIntyre is. The whole world knows Roman Reigns.
But Roman will tell McIntyre again: “I’m THE Champion. I’m the face of WWE. I am your Tribal Chief, and I am the head of the table.” One day, years from now, McIntyre will finally have the chance to be the man. McIntyre will finally be the face of the company, the top champion. And when he does, he will look back to this night and thank Roman. One day, McIntyre will see the man that he has always wanted to be, and think back to this moment, and will love Roman for it. And Roman will love McIntyre right back. “Because Drew… You will always be my favorite number two.” Roman finishes signing, Heyman fetches his belt for him, and Roman smirks as he leaves. McIntyre stands up and shakes his head. Will we see who is the top of the mountain in WWE at Survivor Series?
Seth Rollins VS Buddy Murphy!
The Architect’s story with Rey Mysterio may be over, but now he must write the rest of the tale between him and his first, and last, “disciple.” Will Murphy prove Rollins has been a false prophet all along? Or will Murphy be punished for his transgressions against “the greater good?”
SmackDown returns as Murphy makes his entrance, Aalyah and the family by his side! Murphy comes down with a head of steam but Rollins DECKS him off the apron! Murphy gets up, Rollins wants the Mysterios to get back, and Murphy says it’s fine. The bell rings, Rollins dodges the knee and rams Murphy to a corner! Murphy and Rollins scrap, the ref counts but Rollins lets off at 4. Murphy BOOTS and tackles Rollins and the scrapping continues! Rollins gets to a corner, Murphy runs in but misses and knees buckles! Rollins is outside but Murphy goes after him, only for Rollins to TOSS Murphy into barriers! Rollins drags Murphy back up, and POSTS him! Rollins puts Murphy in, glares at Rey and Dominik and dares them to fight him!
Rollins drags Murphy up, whip shim out and CLOBBERS him! Rollins puts Murphy against ropes and taunts him as he grinds him, then traps him in the ropes! The ref reprimands but Rollins says, “You remember this, don’t you?” Rollins slaps Murphy, then hurries out to find a kendo stick! The ref says Rollins can’t, he will be disqualified. Rollin says he doesn’t care about that! But Rey grabs the stick from Rollins! Rollins DECKS Rey for it! And then bounces him off the announce desk! Dom chases Rollins into the ring, Rollins DECKS Dom! Rollins throws Dom into barriers! Murphy frees himself and hurries out to go after Rollins!
Murphy whips Rollins into barriers, into the ring, and climbs up the corner! Rollins shoves Murphy down and Murphy hits barriers! Aalyah hurries over to check on him but Rollins comes out. Rollins stares Aalyah down as she backs away but she trips and falls. Rollins laughs at poor little Aalyah but he lets her be while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Rollins digs his boot into Murphy in the corner. Rollins stops at 4 to whip Murphy corner to corner hard, and Murphy bounces off buckles to hit the mat. Rollins whips him again but Murphy reverses. Murphy runs in but into an elbow. Rollins goes up, Murphy tucks him in but Rollins kicks him away first! Rollins runs to SLING BLADE! Cover, TWO! The Mysterios rally for Murphy but Rollins looms over him. Rollins drags Murphy up and chokes him in front of them! The ref counts, Rollins stops to then climb up in the corner and rain down punches! Rollins gloats but Murphy tuck shim in for CHEEKY NANDOS!
Rollins staggers about, Murphy dodges him and throws him out, to then wreck him with a dropkick! Murphy runs and FLIES! Direct hit at the ramp! Murphy hurries to put Rollins in, kicks him down, then heads up top! Rollins gets up and springs to the top rope! Murphy shoves him away, Rollins comes back again, and SUPERPLEXES, to the roll through, FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO!! Rollins seethes as Murphy survives. The Mysterios rally up and fans join in. Rollins stalks Murphy to the apron, brings Murphy up, but Murphy holds onto ropes! Rollins throws body shots and haymakers, but Murphy ROCKS him right back!
Rollins ROCKS Murphy, Murphy ROCKS Rollins! They brawl, Murphy BOOTS, and then KNEE TRIGGERS Rollins down! The Mysterios cheer as Murphy gets Rollins back in the ring. Murphy gets in, but Rollins DRAPING CURB STOMPS him!! Rollins flounders over to drag Murphy in for a cover, ROPEBREAK!! Murphy survives and Rollins can’t believe it! The Mysterios cheer, but Rollins is furious! “I gave you everything!” Rollins drags Murphy up, reels him in, and BUCKLE BOMBS! Murphy flounders and Rollins tells the Mysterios to shut up! Rollins runs, into a KNEE TRIGGER!! Rollins tries again but gets another KNEE TRIGGER! Rollins swings, into MURPHY’S LAW! Murphy crawls to the cover, Murphy wins!!
Winner: Buddy Murphy, by pinfall
Victory over the ruthless Rollins, and Murphy celebrates with the Mysterios! Will this lead him and the family to the promised land?
Sasha Banks heads to the ring!
The Boss is here, ready to meet with the Empress of Tomorrow in a face to face before battling at Survivor Series! We’ll see Raw and SmackDown Women’s Champions meet again, after the break.
SmackDown returns and Asuka makes her entrance. She even has pyro! Michael Cole is in the ring to plug #TheBestoftheBest, and these two here are synonymous with that term. Cole wants to bring up that this isn’t just Champion VS Champion, it is the end of a rather bitter rivalry when Sasha took the Raw Women’s Championship from Asuka over the Summer. “Damn right I did!” Sasha laughs but Asuka says it doesn’t matter what Sasha did in the past. “You are not the Boss of me~!” Is she done? Cole was about to ask something of Sasha. Yes, because at SummerSlam, Asuka beat Sasha to take that title back, and has held it ever since. Does Asuka have Sasha’s number?
Is Cole forgetting what time it is? It is BOSS TIME, all the time! But Sasha is going to take time to give Asuka her props. Asuka is one of the greatest in the world, but as far as SummerSlam goes- “Oh you didn’t know~!” Asuka says Sasha lost! Sasha “laughs” at Asuka’s imitation of Road Dogg. She’s got jokes, but it won’t be a laughing matter when Sasha puts Asuka in the Bank Statement and make her tap out. There is no question that Sasha is Best of the Best. Asuka “laughs” now, and she quotes John Cena, “YOU CAN’T SEE ME!” What? Asuka better not wave her hand like that again. Sasha can see Asuka, and for cone she can understand her. If Asuka wants to run her mouth, we don’t have to wait until Sunday. Let’s handle this now.
Sasha throws off the shoes, but Asuka doesn’t move. When you are the star and the standard of the Women’s Division, “you have to know who’s the best of the best, and that is me.” Asuka goes back to her own catchphrase, “You are not ready for Asuka!” Sasha says she’s born ready. But Carmella attacks Sasha! And Asuka doesn’t really care. The Untouchable Carmella feeds Sasha to her boot! And then hoists Sasha up top, to put her in a Tree of Woe and stomp away! And still, Asuka doesn’t care. Carmella pulls Sasha’ into the ropes and says she told her to watch her back! Boss Time is over. Mella hits a FABULOUS KICK to ram Sasha into the post!
Asuka just watches Mella leave and Sasha flop out of the corner. Win or lose at Survivor Series, will Sasha’s time be spent going after the Untouchable?
Backstage interview with Jey Uso
Kayla wants a word on Bryan’s comments. Unless he’s not allowed to talk. Still got jokes, huh? But Jey has the greenlight to speak to her, and to finish what he started with Bryan. Bryan saying Roman a devil ordering Jey around like Jey isn’t responsible for himself? No! Jey put Bryan through a table because he wanted to! He threw Bryan off the stretcher because he wanted to! The only devil talking to Jey is his inner demon, and right now it’s saying to go get ‘im. Will Jey and Bryan put each other through hell in the main event?
Daniel Bryan VS Jey Uso!
SmackDown returns and Bryan’s in the ring. Jey makes his entrance, and this match begins! Bryan rushes Jey with forearms but Jey gives them back! Jey gest the edge but Bryan fights from below.

SmackDown returns once more and Jey tells Bryan this isn’t personal, as he STOMPS Bryan’s back! Jey keeps stomping, then rains down furious fists! Jey seethes as he lets off, and continues to insist it isn’t personal. Bryan sits up, Jey drags him up to scoop and SLAM him! Fans thumbs down on their screens but Jey ignores them to KICK Bryan in the ribs! Bryan gets to a corner, Jey CHOPS him! Jey throws body shots, CHOPS Bryan again, then says “It wasn’t supposed to be like that, DB.” Bryan was in the wrong place. Jey headbutts low, but Bryan manages to stay up. Jey scoops Bryan for a BACKBREAKER! Bryan goes to the apron, clutching his back, and Jey says it wasn’t personal.
Jey swings but Bryan counter punches! Bryan throws haymakers, then heads up top. Jey forearms Bryan down, climbs up to join him, and brings Bryan up for a SUPERPLEX! Both men are down, Jey crawls to a cover, TWO! Fans build to a rally for Brayn as he and Jey stir. Jey sits up first, stalks behind Bryan, and drags him up to whip him to ropes. Fireman’s carry, but Bryan crucifix counters the drop! TWO!! Jey hurries up, but into a YES LOCK! Bryan cranks on Jey, claws the eyes even, and goes back to the crossface. Jey rolls around, gets loose and drives elbows over and over into the side! And knees, too! Fans give more thumbs down as Jey stops just to catch his breath.
Jey goes to a corner, climbs up top, but Bryan trips him up! Bryan climbs up behind Jey, brings him up, and SUPER BACK SUPLEXES!! Both men land hard but especially Jey! Bryan fires himself up and fans fire up with him! Bryan aims at Jey, and YES Kicks! And kicks! And then kicks from all sides! Bryan powers up to BUZZSAW! Cover, TWO!!

YES!” Jey is in a corner, Bryan runs in, SUPERKICK! Another SUPERKICK! Jey fires up and says no yes! This is HELL NO, for another SUPERKICK! Jey climbs up top again, leaps, USO- KNEES!! Cradle cover, Bryan wins!!
Winner: Daniel Bryan, by pinfall
It wasn’t personal, but it was brutal! Bryan stands tall and Jey is only angrier now! Will he be able to rebound and redeem himself when he and Team SmackDown face Team Raw?
My Thoughts:
This was a great go-home from SmackDown! Though with some interesting choices here and there. Firstly, the contract signing just for a Champion VS Champion match at Survivor Series. The execution was great, though, with great promos from both McIntyre and Roman. Even the little detail of Roman wanting to sit at the head of the table just to be consistent with one of his many new nicknames was great. That match really could go either way, but will likely be overbooked to keep both men strong. After all, The Miz is Mr. Money in the Bank and could actually target either man with the contract. I don’t think he’ll win, and the cash-in will surely end up cancelled, but using that to cost Drew would be pretty smart for everyone involved.
Sasha and Asuka having their own face-to-face just because was alright. I don’t really get Sasha’s attitude right now. I get she was only just a Heel, but she was the Face against Bayley, and now she feels like a forced Tweener. Asuka quoting iconic catchphrases was just as odd, too, but Asuka has become increasingly quirky in 2020, so let’s chalk it up to that. It was, however, hilarious that she didn’t do a thing to stop Carmella. It makes sense, because it’s not Asuka’s fight. But similarly to Roman and McIntyre, I have a feeling Sasha VS Asuka gets overbooked because Carmella will want to get Sasha to finally pay attention to her.
We got a great blending of the opening segments, between Profits plugging Survivor Series and Big E pretending to be Taker, that was then followed up by New Day having good promos with Sami, Corbin, Roode and Ziggler. The 8 Man was great, especially with Sami not wanting to get involved because he’s worried about facing Lashley. Sami taking the loss for that reason was a great move, as was him and Bryan have a confrontation backstage. Bryan VS Sami is definitely becoming an Intercontinental Championship feud on the road to Royal Rumble. Bryan and Jey had great promos to hype their great and aggressive main event. It works that Bryan won because he’ll be heading after the IC title with momentum, and it puts it on Jey to make up for things at Survivor Series.
Team SmackDown didn’t have nearly as much interaction as Team Raw, and I’m a little surprised it was Otis named to the team and not Big E. But I suppose Big E can do plenty of other things on the way to Royal Rumble, which everyone would love to see him win anyway. Otis has Gable by his side now, and surely Gable will be in Team SmackDown’s corner, as I’m sure AJ Styles will have Jordan Omogbehin. I think that’d be pretty hilarious, and could be a great way to cost Styles or Otis without anyone looking too strong or too weak. Bayley gets put on the women’s team, but that’s basically what I saw coming since she lost to Sasha. Natty finally earns her way onto the team, and we now have some dysfunction as Natty’s the only one on “Captain” Bayley’s side.
Rollins VS Murphy was really good, even with Rey and the family ringside. That much at least shows they’re definitely on Murphy’s side, and Murphy getting that win is great for all of this. Rollins can be in a horrible mood and decide to just disappear, since he has to go be Daddy Seth to his baby with Becky Lynch, not to be seen again until perhaps WrestleMania or something. Murphy and the Mysterios is still a situation that could and probably will fall apart, but for now, I wouldn’t mind going through with the idea of Mysterios and Murphy against Roman and the Usos. There has to be more to Mysterios having Murphy with them than just the drama of him and Aalyah “dating.”
My Score: 8.6/10

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who can put in the work!
This first round is Mazda tire carrying. Each man has a big orange cone placed in their corner, so they simply have to go fetch the tires from the stacks outside. Whoever gets four tires first wins the round! The bell rings, Yuya kicks Khan then heads for ropes, but Khan reels him in for a BIG back suplex! Khan goes out now, hurries up the ramp, and grabs two tires at once! The fans cheer and Khan gets those tires in the ring. Then he goes back for more! A risky move but that means four tires are on play. Yuya DROPKICKS Khan and here’s where the risk is involved! Yuya aims to PLANCHA but Khan chucks a tire!

Khan CLUBS Yuya more, and Khan even ties Yuya up in the ropes! Khan sacrifices two tires to trap Yuya! The fans cheer the creativity, and Khan STOMPS Yuya on the apron before heading for more tires.

Yuya takes the tires off Khan’s cones, leaving him with just one. Yuya goes out to get the last tires remaining!

And Mongolian Chops! And Mongolian CHOP! Yuya sits down, Khan takes a tire, but then THROWS it at Yuya! Yuya goes up and over and AX HANDLES Khan down!
The fans rally as Khan grabs tires and cone, and he starts stacking! Yuya has two, then three! He just needs to find one more! Yuya grabs one from outside, but Khan reels him in! Khan DECKS Yuya, then undoes some of the stack. Khan confiscates a tire, makes sure it’s nice and bouncy, but also works up quite the sweat. The fans rally as Khan aims and takes a swing, only for Yuya to counter tire with tire! They clash again, and again! Then they set up for TIRE SUMO! And again, TIRE SUMO! They run in again, and Khan RAMS Yuya! Yuya is disarmed, and Khan CLOBBERS him with the TIRE SUMO!
The fans fire up while Yuya is down and Khan grabs tires. Khan says he’s not done with Yuya yet. Khan starts stacking tires at the center of the ring, then drags Yuya up. Khan clinches Yuya into HITSUJIGOROSHI! Yuya endures, even as Khan throws knees! Khan then scoops to SLAM Yuya on the tires! That’ll leave some skid marks!

Khan throws a BODY BLOW, then he TRIPS Yuya into a TIRE DDT! The fans fire up while Khan grabs the other tires.
Khan stacks tires on his cone, that’s two. Khan hurries to find other tires on the outside, and he has a third. Khan considers his options, and takes one of the tires from Yuya. But Yuya clings to the tires, so Khan stomps him! Yuya refuses to let go of the tires! Khan stomps Yuya more but Yuya defends the tire with his body! Khan claws at Yuya, they tug-o-war over the tire, but Khan pulls on Yuya’s ear! Yuya kicks low, kicks again, then SMACKS Khan with the tire, and DROPKICKS Khan down! The tire goes tumbling out of the ring while Yuya fires up! Yuya takes Khan’s tires, hurries them over to his cone, that’s three right there!
Now Yuya has to hurry and find another! Yuya goes outside, grabs the tire, but Khan intercepts! They tug-o-war again, but then Khan RAMS Yuya into a corner! Khan takes this tire, that’s one. Khan finds tires on the outside and brings them in! Yuya hurries to cover tires again! Khan stomps Yuya, still stacks three, so it’s all down to this seventh tire! Yuya and Khan tug-o-war yet again, the fans rallying behind them! Khan grabs Yuya’s arm, but Yuya slips around to a SLEEPER! Khan fights up but Yuya squeezes tight! Yuya then CLUBS away on Khan, runs, but into a TIRE SWEEP! And a BASEMENT DROPKICK!
Khan grabs the final tire, but Yuya schoolboys him away! Yuya rolls through, snatches the tire, and complete his stack! Yuya wins the first round!
Khan: 0; Yuya: 1
Just like with Tanga Loa, Khan drops the ball in the first round! But then, will history repeat itself here as we prepare for the second round?
The tarps are set down, the table is set, and it’s time to eat up some Hiroshima lemons! Khan makes sure the people watching at home and around the world understand that Hiroshima lemons are the best, which probably means they’re the most sour. Khan puts on his bandana and takes his seat at the table. He and Yuya get some wet wipes to clean their hands, and it all comes down to who finishes their one lemon first. Ready, set, EAT! Yuya starts fast and that face shows how sour these are. Khan says hold on, and he just takes a HUGE bite! Yuya is suffering but Khan is reveling in the sourness! Khan’s already halfway through!
Yuya can barely keep the lemon in, but Khan’s eaten it all up! Can he get it all down before Yuya? Khan is chewing and chewing, Yuya is practically shaking from how sour it all is! Khan keeps going and… Yes, Khan has it all down! Khan wins!
Khan: 1; Yuya: 1
Khan now lets his body feel the stinging sweetness, and he says it was delicious! But then, that leaves us with this third and final round. And this time it’s a TABLES match! Who will be feeling sour and sore after this one?
The bell rings, both men rush in, Yuya dodges to fire haymakers! Yuya whips, Khan reverses but Yuya CLOBBERS him! Khan gets up, but Yuya DROPKICKS him down! Khan bails out, Yuya aims and PLANCHAS! Direct hit at the ramp, and the Heat Storm fires back up! The table is there, so Yuya drags Khan right up! Yuya goes to suplex but Khan blocks! Khan fights with body shots, turns things around, but Yuya fights the suplex! They fight for control, but Khan RAMS Yuya into the apron! The fans rally, Khan drags Yuya back up, and whips him into railing! Yuya tumbles up and over into No Man’s Land!
Khan storms out after Yuya and he asks fans move aside. Young Lions help the fans clear out while Khan drags Yuya up. Khan brings Yuya around and reminds everyone, No Disqualifications! Khan BOWLS Yuya through chairs, and that’s definitely a strike! The fans cheer Khan as he stands on chairs, but then asks more fans to move aside! Khan stomps Yuya, stomps a chair onto Yuya, then tosses that chair aside. Sorry to whoever had that seat… Khan then drags Yuya up and brings him around, but Yuya throws body shots! Khan Mongolian Chops Yuya down! Khan drags Yuya back up, and BOWLS him into more chairs!
Yuya is stuck on the seats, that wasn’t quite a strike. But Khan stacks chairs on Yuya to pick up the spare. Khan SMACKS chair with chair! Yuya sputters while fans applaud, and Khan goes back to fetch Yuya. Taichi and Taka are there but so are Newman and Akira. The Empire keeps the two out of five guys at bay while Khan drags Yuya to the back of the crowd. Khan whips Yuya into the emergency exit! Khan then SLAMS railing down on Yuya, and then SMACKS railing with railing! Khan talks trash while Taka and Taichi coach Yuya up. The ref checks Yuya, but he’s somehow able to continue, so Khan drags him up.
Khan brings Yuya around to drag him through the chairs! Khan brings Yuya back to ringside, then into the ring. The fans applaud, and then Khan goes looking under the ring. Khan eventually finds another lemon! Khan takes a big bite and uses the citrus to power up! Then he DIGS the lemon into Yuya’s face! The citric acid burns but the fans fire up! Khan goes to fetch the table from outside, puts it inside, and then sets it up in a corner. The fans rally up as Khan stalks Yuya. Khan drags Yuya up, reels him in to scoop, but Yuya slips free! Khan avoids hitting table, but Yuya DOUBLE CHOPS! Yuya whips Khan into the blue corner, then DOUBLE CHOPS again!
The fans fire up and Yuya grits his teeth. Yuya roars, brings Khan up and reels him in for a BIG back suplex! The fans rally again and Yuya brings Khan up. Yuya clinches, but Khan fights the lift! Yuya still tries, but Khan fights it to a head ‘n’ arm clinch. Yuya gets around, headlocks, but Khan pops out to waistlock. Yuya fights being pushed around, then switches to get an arm. Khan clinches but so does Yuya. They fight for control, and Khan’s SAYANAGI takes Yuya down! The fans fire up and both men stir. Yuya flops out of the ring, but Khan crawls in pursuit. Khan drags Yuya up, then RAMS him into railing!
Yuya writhes, Khan goes looking under the ring, and he brings out another TABLE! Khan SMACKS Yuya with the table, then stands the table up at ringside.

10 Man Tag Elimination Match: Los Ingobernables de Japon VS Bullet Club War Dogs!
These factions have been battling all over this Road to Wrestling Dontaku, but now they will fight ’til the last man! Will there be a roll call for Bushi, Hiromu, Takagi, Yota y Naito? Or will this alliance with the Good Looking Emperor, Jake Lee, help David Finlay, Gabe Kidd, Clark Connors & “Drilla” Dan Moloney shoot down LIJ?
Wait, it seems Naito has brought backup of his own? It’s SLYLY! The dragon-like mascot of Hiroshima Toyo Carp, and half-brother to the Philadelphia Phillies’ Phillie Phanatic! Well, Naito does love him some baseball. Tensions are running high, and Finlay throws his shirt at Yota. Yota balls that shirt up, and throws a fastball over the plate!

As for LIJ, they regroup in the ring and have their hands raised. Slyly’s even still hanging around! But uh, he’s a little too chunky to get in the ring, so he just settles for pumping up the crowd like he does at baseball games. Naito gets the mic to say that it was three months ago, the Splash Strong series back in January, since Naito was last in Hiroshima. Naito would like to thank the fans from coming here tonight, “Gracias, amigos.” The fans cheer, and Naito continues by saying, “Hiroshima is my second home. I really long to have a match at Mazda Stadium.” The fans love the sound of that!
Naito does preface that him saying that doesn’t mean there’s anything planned. So please, tranquilo, be patient, and look forward to the day that finally happens. So, shall they do it? The fans cheer again! So then, for the first time in Hiroshima Sun Plaza Hall in a year and eight months, is everyone ready? The fans cheer because they sure are! Well then, the only way to close The Road to Wrestling Dontaku here in Hiroshima… Bushi! Hiromu! Takagi! Titan! Yota! Slyly! Y Naito! NOSOTROS! LOS! INGOBERRRRNABLEEEES~! DE! JA! PON!! Slyly gets in on the roll call! Will all of LIJ have success as we reach Wrestling Dontaku next week?
My Thoughts:
A great event to conclude Road to Dontaku before getting to Wrestling Dontaku itself. An unfortunate change in the card, Sanada fell ill and could not compete, so his match alongside Taichi against Tanahashi & Tomoaki was changed into Tanahashi and a Young Lion VS Tomoaki and a Young Lion. Hopefully Cold Skull gets well soon. Great tag title match from TMDK VS GoD, and while I figured TMDK was going to retain, I didn’t think it’d be in a shady way like holding tights. While ZSJ VS Cobb for the NJPW World TV title is still to come, I doner of GoD shift gears and ELP becomes a singles guy so Leo and Loa can team up. Then ELP can challenge ZSJ in a battle of initials while the Brothers Guerrilla get to take on Shane & Mikey.
Great Rural Revitalization again, they managed to pull off great comeback spots each round. I was very surprised Yuya won out, I felt like Khan could’ve done one more Rural Revitalization before losing. But at the same time, Yuya feels like the unofficial fourth Reiwa Musketeer behind Narita, Shota & Tsuji. Yuya getting a title, any title, ahead of the others is good stuff for him, and could even bring about a feud with one of the Musketeers for the Summer. And then a great 10 Man Elimination Tag. I again really like that NJPW allows over the rope eliminations even in a tag match like this to really mix things up. Jake Lee not winning out for the War Dogs is really surprising, but I feel like that means Jake will defeat Naito 1v1.
My Score: 8.9/10

Parking Lot Brawl: Trent Beretta VS Chuck Taylor!
Years of friendship, thrown away, and why? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Freshly Squeezed having more success in AEW than them? Because #JustTrent had a problem with Cassidy as a person? Because #JustTrent turned out to be the selfish one in the relationship? Well, then will #JustTrent get his ass kicked? Or will he take advantage of how Chuckie T. is a Kentucky Gentleman?
Trent stares Chuck down while we hear the crowd of other wrestlers taunting him. Trent takes a swing, but Chuck dodges to fire off hands! The brawl is on, and Chuck gets the edge! Chuck ROCKS Trent, then SMACKS him off a car hood! And then off the car door! Chuck drags Trent up, but Trent RAMS Chuck into the car! And throat chops him just because! Trent gets space, runs back in, but Chuck dodges so Trent hits the passenger door! Chuck gets a trash can lid and he stands Trent up. Trent jumps through the open window but Chuck drags him back out. Trent kicks low, and he gives Chuck a CAR HOOD BACK SUPLEX!
Trent grabs the trash can lid, SMACKS Chuck right in the head and Chuck falls down! The crowd boos but Trent opens a car trunk to bring out a trash can, a dustpan and a baseball bat! Chuck storms up but Trent CHUCKS the trash can into Chuck’s face! Chuck flounders and Trent smirks. Trent SMACKS Chuck with the trash can, CLUBS him around, and Chuck is busted open! The white car has red polka dots on it now, and Trent talks trash, “This is what you wanted?!” Trent runs up, but Chuck POP UP POWERBOMBS Trent onto a car hood! Trent writhes, Chuck staggers around, and Chuck brings Trent around.
Chuck headlocks Trent before he SMACKS him off another car door. Trent goes around the back and then up onto a truck! Chuck follows, and he CLUBS Trent in the chest! But Trent slips under, and he CLAWS Chuck’s bloody face! Trent DECKS Chuck and Chuck falls through drywall sheets! Trent looms over Chuck as he crawls out of the wreckage. Trent stalks Chuck, brings him around and SMACKS him with the trash can lid! Trent hoists Chuck onto a car roof, SMACKS him again, then goes back to the truck. Trent climbs onto the roof of the truck, to FLYING ELBOW from car to car! Cover, TWO!!
Trent is furious, but Chuck is still in this as Rampage goes picture in picture.
Trent fumes, paces around, and goes back to the goodies. He brings out… Is that a screwdriver?! And he JABS Chuck in the head with it!! And then he DIGS it into Chuck’s forehead!! As if he wasn’t already bleeding badly!! Trent leaves Chuck behind, to fetch what looks to be a flat screen TV. Then he brings out a wood door!? Did someone visit Home Depot before coming here? Chuck CHOPS Trent in return then fires haymakers! Trent CLAWS Chuck’s face! Trent grabs that TV and CHUCKS it, only for Chuck to duck it! Rampage returns as TV screen hits windshield! Chuck kicks low to snap suplex Trent through the door!!
The crowd is losing its minds as Trent crawls. Chuck gets Trent’s legs, to CATAPULT him into the truck’s tailgate!! The crowd fires up while Chuck gets a sinister look on his face. Chuck takes a piece of that drywall to SMASH it on Trent! Chuck gets that trash can, he SMACKS Trent with it! Chuck sees the pile of extra goodies nearby, and he uncovers some light tubes! But first, he’ll clean up the mess, he SMACKS Trent with the dust pan! And SMACKS him again and again! And then one more shot with the trash can! Trent writhes, but Chuck drags Trent up. Chuck SMACKS Trent off the tailgate, then clears some space.
Chuck climbs up, but Trent ROCKET LAUNCHES him onto the light tubes!!! The tubes shatter under Chuck’s back! Trent sputters, he’s bloody now, too. Trent puts Chuck against the car hood and stands on him! Trent soaks up the heat, but Chuck TRIPS Trent! Trent writhes, Chuck reels Trent in, Canadian Rack, RAZOR’S EDGE onto a windshield!! Trent writhes while fans chant “HOLY CHUCK!” Chuck covers Trent on the hood, TWO!! Trent survives and hurries around the back of this sedan. Chuck snarls, goes up after Trent, and they meet on the roof. They’re both so bloody as they fire forearms back and forth!
The crowd cheers Chuck and boos Trent, and as the two swing wild, they end up HUGGING! You GOT to give the people what they want, right? They stand, Chuck ROCKS Trent and reels Trent in, but Trent LOW BLOWS!! Trent has Chuck now, PILEDRIVER ON THE CAR ROOF!!! And then, SNAKE BITE!! Trent is choking Chuck out!!! Chuck IS out, Trent wins!!
Winner: Trent Beretta, by submission
The Best Friends tore each other apart, but it is #JustTrent that stands tall in the end. He’s clearly lost the respect of his peers given how the other wrestlers are chanting “You Suck! You Suck!” But wait, Trent isn’t done? He has a monkey wrench!? Cassidy & Kris step forward to say no, this is going too far! Trent says this is all Cassidy’s fault! And SMASH, Trent hits Chuck’s leg with the wrench, and even shatters the glass behind it!! Chuck clutches the already recovering leg, and now Cassidy wants after Trent! Kris stops Cassidy, Trent’s still got the wrench! Trent escapes into the shadows of the arena, what darkness is living in Trent’s heart?
Don Callis is watching this.
And he seems to like the sadistic savagery he just witnessed. Trent may not have Best Friends anymore, but could he end up with a whole new family?

Backstage interview with The Undisputed Kingdom.
Arkady Aura is with Roderick Strong, Matt Taven & Mike Bennett as she notes Will Ospreay is the NEW #1 Contender to the AEW International Championship. Taven says hold on, before we get started here, “Not Lexy,” as three guys who care deeply about neck health, and as two guys who nursed someone from the brink of paralysis (aka Roddy), The Kingdom wishes a very speedy recovery to “the world’s greatest boss. TK, stay strong, buddy.” Roddy then shouts that “WILL… Ospreay. Congratulations, you did it! You have signed, sealed and delivered the downfall, demise and destruction of The Aerial Assassin at Double or Nothing.”
Roddy says the world can sing Ospreay’s praises, but none of that matters when you step in the ring with Roddy. Just like all the ones before, Roddy will dismantle Ospreay, he will BREAK Ospreay, and he will make Ospreay fall in front of The Savior of the Backbreaker. Roddy’s confidence is strong, but will Roddy be the one feeling the End of Heartache after taking on the #BillyGOAT?

Winners: Katsuyori Shibata & Daniel Garcia, by pinfall
Shibata helps Garcia stand up, and Garcia is proud to have won alongside one of his heroes! And with the fans cheering him on, Garcia sets up… to DO HIS DANCE! Will this momentum help Shibata avenge Hook and take that FTW Championship off of Chris Jericho? Or will The Learning Tree have some things to teach Shibata?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here, though I was oddly more excited when I thought it was just Deonna VS Rosa and the Parking Lot Brawl. But even so, at least Bill squashing a dude was used in story. He was showing off, he’ll surely have Jericho’s blessing if he helps defeat Shibata on Dynamite, but a part of me almost wants this to be all a trap. Bill was teammates with Ricky Starks in a feud against Jericho, and if Jericho is being obliviously arrogant then maybe Bill is using that against Jericho, too. But either way, let’s just hope this story helps Bill get going rather than slow him down like the #JerichoVortex has always done.
The Parking Lot Brawl was moving maybe a bit fast for me, especially with how there were some obvious spots already set up when they arrived, such as the drywall draped across the truck bed. But they surely got bloody, and in the end, Trent won out because he was willing to sink to the lowest low. And then they’ve written Chuck off again with that monkey wrench to the shin, so Cassidy VS Trent is definitely a Double or Nothing match. And something is just telling me that if Kris is gonna turn out to be the villain in the Willow Nightingale story, she’s probably gonna screw Cassidy over to help Trent, too.
Really good match from Deonna VS Rosa, and with Rosa getting a quick pin then that brawl, we’re clearly getting more out of them. Good promo from Kyle O’Reilly to hype AEW’s newest Canada tour, and good promo from The Kingdom to tie in their old Neck Health Awareness gag to the Tony Khan piledriver angle. Roddy calling out Ospreay, I would definitely think Ospreay wins the title at Double or Nothing. And really good tag main event from Shibata & Garcia VS Shane Taylor Promotions. STP keeps getting great showings even in losing, but Lee took the loss here to keep Shane himself strong. Great win for Shibata but this just adds to the go-home math where Jericho retains the FTW Championship on Dynamite.
My Score: 8.7/10
