PLAY BY PLAY

Big E is here!

Just as he promised on Friday Night SmackDown, Mr. Money in the Bank is here on Monday Night Raw! He wants after the WWE World Champion just as bad as he wants after the WWE Universal Champion, but he’ll go for whoever’s in front of him! But before Big E can speak, RKBRO makes their way to the ring! The Raw Tag Team Champions have to defend their belts against the Hurt Business, but wait! Here come the WWE World Champion and MVP! But Bobby Lashley is in a sharp suit, not his ring gear, so he’s willing to wait for later on. Lashley and MVP walk to the ring, staring down the Viper and Mr. MITB.

MVP and Lashley get mics and Big E simply watches as Lashley raises his belt in Orton’s face. Big E speaks up and says he fully intends on cashing in tonight. Riddle wants Big E to hold on. It’s great to see Big E on Raw, but Riddle wants Big E to do a bro a favor and not cash in on Randy. They’re best bros so- MVP tells Riddle to shut his dumbass up. Big E won’t be cashing in tonight on Randy~ because Randy~ won’t be winning tonight! And of all the nights Big E could show up here, he chooses the wrong night. Normally, when Big E shows up, MVP is happy to see him with the dancing and acting like an idiot, so everyone laughs. But the Hurt Business is in no laughing matter tonight!

See, this was supposed to be for the Raw Tag Team Championships because the Hurt Business won Tag Team Turmoil! But the Viper being the Viper, he politicked his way into changing things from the World Championship at Extreme Rules to tonight! Wanna explain that, Randy~?! Orton smirks and says “It has been 14 long, long years since Bobby Lashley and I fought inside this ring. And I thought, ‘Why wait two more weeks?’ Besides, look at you, Bob.” The specimen that Lashley is, there was no way Orton could throw him off his game, unless maybe by changing the date.

But there wasn’t politicking. Y’know what happened? It’s simple! Orton went to who he needed to go to, he told them what he wanted, and they obliged. Why? Because he IS Randy Freakin’ Orton! Lashley laughs at that and Big E loves the big meaty men bumping meat tonight! Uh… What? The fans are fired up for Randy, though, and MVP says the fans just forget about the clown prince and his MITB briefcase. MVP wants to tell Big E that of the clowns he hangs out with in the New Day, MVP always believed Big E would win the world title first because Big E has the most potential.

And when Big E got put on SmackDown alone, MVP thought that’d be the chance for Big E to establish himself. And then he did, by becoming Mr. MITB! Fans cheer that because it’s true. “But then you promptly ran from SmackDown to Raw because maybe you’re scared to cash that in on Roman Reigns. Or perhaps you’re scared of Brock Lesnar.” Lashley says he isn’t. MVP thinks Big E thinks Lashley is a pushover. But after we see what Lashley does to Orton tonight, Big E will fear him, too. Well, MVP, you’re just wasting your breath. The fight is here! Orton has proven over the last few weeks that all it takes is ONE RKO to bring down the All Mighty Lashley to his knees!

And that is what Orton promises will happen tonight to become the NEW WWE World Champion! Fans cheer that and Riddle adds, “BOOM!” And then Big E says he can cash in on Orton become the NEW WWE World Champion! Lashley says, “Enough of this!” Orton made the biggest mistake of his life by wanting the title tonight. Lashley will take pleasure beating Orton up and his weak body all over this ring. And if Big E even comes anywhere close to him with the contract, Lashley will shove it so far up Big E’s ass that he’ll be able to taste the fine print! Oh, really? This briefcase? Big E gets closer with it, and Lashley SLAPS it away! Big E and Lashley talk trash, but Orton hits an RKO!!

Orton says BOOM, that’s all he’ll need! Will the All Mighty fall to the Viper in tonight’s main event? Will Big E be there to swoop in on whoever has the gold when it’s over?

 

The WWE Draft is returning!

October 1st on Friday Night SmackDown and October 4th on Monday Night Raw, “It’s time to shake things up again!” Who goes where? And how does that shape the future of the WWE?

 

Charlotte Flair VS Shayna Baszler!

The Queen of Flair beat Nia Jax partially thanks to the Queen of Spades, but now we see which player ranks higher! Before her entrance, Charlotte is asked about Shayna’s confidence that she can win. “Shayna is like every superstar dreaming of the Raw Women’s Championship. And yes, Shayna and Nia are great competitors, but Shayna and Nia get in each other’s way.” Charlotte didn’t get to the top because she had friends or tag partners. Shayna will never get to this level if she lets herself be dragged down by dead weight. But Charlotte will teach Shayna humility like she did Nia, and let’s get this straight: Charlotte is THE BEST in every way humanly possible. And in the end, this title will be Charlotte’s! The ring is her throne and her reign shall last forever! #LongLiveTheQueen!

Charlotte makes her entrance and fans “WOO~” as she goes to the ring. Charlotte is the Queen but will she still be made to #TapNapOrSnap?

As Shayna makes her entrance, Raw shares footage of Nia confronting her earlier today. Nia is of course upset that Shayna cost her in the title match and she wants an explanation. Shayna’s explanation is that she did what Nia’s been doing to her, and what she would’ve done. Shayna believes what she said in that Nia can’t beat Charlotte but Shayna can. Nia wants to argue how she did beat Charlotte, but she calms down. They’ll be on the same page tonight. But Shayna leaves without saying yes or no.

The bell rings, Shayna and Charlotte circle and fans fire up with more chants of “WOO~!” Shayna tests the waters with a drop step but then they tie up. Charlotte knees hard and low, whips but Shayna reverses. Charlotte tumbles up and out but Shayna sees the shoulder coming. Shayna KNEES Charlotte down, builds speed but Charlotte avoids the baseball slide! Charlotte PLANCHAS and takes down Shayna! The champion is standing tall as Raw goes to break!

Raw returns as Charlotte hits an EXPLODER! Charlotte grits her teeth as she gets back to her feet, steps on Shayna and goes to the corner. Charlotte climbs, fans fire up but Shayna trips her up! Shayna KICKS Charlotte down, covers, TWO! Charlotte checks the side of her head but Shayna sees her go to a corner. Shayna runs corner to corner but Charlotte dodges! Knee goes into buckle, Charlotte rolls Shayna up, TWO! KIRAFUDA! Shayna can’t get Charlotte down before Charlotte throws elbows. Charlotte hits a BIG back suplex and is free! Shayna goes to ropes, Charlotte catches her breath and gets to her feet. Charlotte storms in but Shayna gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX!

Charlotte gets up, Shayna KNEES her back down! Cover, TWO! Shayna CLUBS Charlotte, KICKS her in the side, but Charlotte eggs her on! Shayna KICKS and KICKS and clinches, but Charlotte scraps with her. Shayna fires off fast hands, runs but Charlotte follows to LARIAT! Charlotte seethes as she CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS! Charlotte whips Shayna to ropes, Shayna reverses but Charlotte boot feints to ELBOW! Cover, TWO!! Shayna survives and Charlotte seethes again. Charlotte drags Shayna up, and reels her in for an EX- NO! Shayna lands on her feet and BOOTS back! Shayna puts Charlotte in the corner, runs in but into the backbreaker and BUCKLE SHOT!

Charlotte sees Shayna bail out, goes to the corner and climbs up top! Fans fire up as Charlotte ARIHARA MOONSAULTS! Direct hit and down goes Shayna! Charlotte is fired up and so is Boston’s TD Garden, but here comes Nia! Charlotte tells Nia to suck it, but Shayna RAMS Charlotte into the steps! Seems the Irresistible Force  is keeping her word and helping Shayna as Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Nia watches Shayna gets an inside cradle! TWO, and Charlotte CLOBBERS Shayna! Charlotte seethes, drags Shayna up and throws forearms from all sides! Shayna stays standing as Charlotte keeps throwing forearms, then gets around to GERMAN SUPLEX again! Nia nods and fans fire up as Shayna storms over to Charlotte. Shayna gets Charlotte up in a scoop but Charlotte slips out to CHOP BLOCK! Shayna hobbles, Charlotte puts the leg through the ropes and stares Nia down as she has a HANGING KNEEBAR! The ref counts, Shayna hammers at Charlotte, but Charlotte lets go at 4 to taunt Nia.

Charlotte goes back in the ring, puts Shayna’s leg on ropes and springboards, but Shayna avoids the knee drop to fire fast hands! Charlotte shoves Shayna but Shayna hits a KNEE! Nia gets on the apron?! Charlotte BOOTS Shayna down! Cover, Charlotte wins!!

Winner: Charlotte Flair, by pinfall

Nia said she and Shayna were on the same page, and that was the same page out of Shayna’s playbook! Is Charlotte only being proven right that the Queen of Spades and Irresistible Force are holding each other back? But here comes Alexa Bliss! And it seems she and Lily have a gift for Charlotte. Alexa says hi and she knows Charlotte is busy, but they wanted to give her something as thanks for accepting the title match at Extreme Rules. Aw, that’s cute, Lexi, but she clearly doesn’t know Charlotte’s taste. Charlotte doesn’t collect dolls, she collects championships! And there comes a time in every big girl’s life to leave the dolls at home.

Yes, yes, we get it. Charlotte’s the champion~! C’mon, have some fun and let your hair down. It is down… But this is a really good gift, so please, take it. Fans cheer for Charlotte to accept the gift, but Charlotte says no. Alexa says yes. Again, Charlotte says, “No.” Again, Alexa says, “Yes.” Charlotte knows she wants to~! Okay, fine! Charlotte does love gifts. She shakes the box. No ticking so we’re good there. Fans cheer for her to open it, so Charlotte opens the box. To find that inside… Is a Charlotte edition of Lily… TADA~! This is Charlie, and yes, it looks so much like Charlotte! Fans chant for Charlie, and Alexa says this is something to play with after Alexa takes the title.

But Alexa knows, Charlotte doesn’t need anyone because she’s the queen. But everyone needs a friend. “Even a narcissistic, self-absorbed bitch like you!” Yeah, Charlotte admits to that. And at least the doll has matching accessories, like the little toy belt. And everyone wants a doll that looks like Charlotte! But Alexa’s crazy if she thinks she’s taking the title, or that Charlotte wants “this stupid doll.” Wait, hold on. Maybe Charlotte can get Mattel to send Alexa a Charlotte action figure to that padded cell. But until then, Charlotte will “adult” you to Extreme Rules. #LongLiveTheQueen. And then Charlotte throws the doll at Alexa’s face!

Alexa LEAPS onto Charlotte and the scrap is on! Charlotte shoves Alexa, Alexa dodges the boot to then boot Charlotte out of the ring! Charlotte runs in, but into a CODE RED!! Alexa sits on the mat for a moment as Charlotte flops out of the ring. Alexa gets up to get Lily and pick up the Raw Women’s Championship! Will Alexa have it all once Extreme Rules is over?

 

Six Man Tag: Drew McIntyre & The Viking Raiders VS Jinder Mahal, Veer & Shanky!

The Scottish Warrior teams with Erik & Ivar to take on the Modern Day Maharaja and his henchmen! Will McIntyre lead the raid and help all there men climb back up towards titles? Or will it be a very aggressive Namaste today?

Raw returns as Team Mahal jumps McIntyre from behind! They’re not letting McIntyre have any back-up as they mug him! The Viking Raiders make their entrance and skip the pageantry to get right in!

The Bean City, babyyyy~! And Kofi’s been there and done that, so what advice does he have? Advice? Bruh, Kofi’s always told Big E that he has everything it takes to be the face of the WWE! And he has everything that it takes to be a great champion! He already knows what to do. But he does look tense, and on game day, you gotta relax. So for old time’s sake… “HEEEY~, WE WANT SOME NEW DAY~!” Big E is feeling great, but will Boston be feeling all of the Power of Positivity?

Reggie RAMS the trunk into Cedric Alexander! Truth protests Reggie using crates but Reggie runs away. And then Drake Maverick saunters in. Truth says this plan didn’t work. The plan wasn’t the problem. The problem was the execution.

Maverick the apparent mastermind moves on, and Truth says it was Tozawa’s execution that was the problem. Tozawa says that back to Truth and they argue, but will it be back to the drawing board for Operation: Get Reggie?

 

WWE United States Championship Open Challenge: Damian Priest VS Jeff Hardy!

The Archer of Infamy put out an open challenge before the show began, and it seems the Charismatic Enigma answered it! Priest has a match with Sheamus at Extreme Rules, will facing the extreme risktaker prepare him for that battle?

Raw returns to the ring and Hardy makes his entrance. Boston is fired up but Priest is just as excited for this, an idol turns into a rival for the young champion. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see if Priest can defeat an icon to make it to the PPV.

But then Sheamus shows up, just to get on Priest’s nerves as he watches from ringside. Hardy also has no love lost for Sheamus and the match resumes. Fans rally up and the two tie up. Hardy headlocks, Priest powers out, but Hardy rams shoulders. Priest rebounds to run Hardy over! Priest runs, Hardy dodges as Priest rolls, and Hardy avoids the arm-drag. Priest avoids the basement dropkick, drags Hardy back up, but Hardy goes for a jawbreaker! Priest tosses that away but Hardy avoids the boot, and then Hardy kicks low!

Sheamus soaks up the heat from Boston, but this Celtic says he’s here to stay! Sheamus runs at Priest but Priest BOOTS Sheamus first! Sheamus’ mask may be the only thing that saved him from that one! Will the Fella be in for the fight of his life in his second round with Priest?

 

Nikki A.S.H. talks with Rhea Ripley backstage.

After their big win last week over Natalya & Tamina, Nikki wants to come up with a special team celebration. Rhea says this isn’t a good time. Rhea has to focus on Natalya, and they both need to focus on the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. But then the champions walk in, and Natty tells Nikki not to listen to Rhea. “You two freaks are never going to have these.” Rhea says that’s not the first time she’s been called a freak, and after last week, Natty & Tamina better get used to being called former tag team champions. Natty says Rhea & Nikki have had amazing moments in the WWE. But she and Tamina dominate eras!

Nikki says, “How about I show you right now what I’m capable of?!” Tamina laughs and says she was almost scared. Tamina shoves Nikki and a brawl is on! Referees and Sonya Deville jump in to stop this from happening here! If they want to play like this, there will be another match on top of tonight. Nikki VS Tamina happens NOW! GOOD! Nikki’s music hits and she heads to the ring! Will the Almost Super Hero prove she can fly higher than the Daughter of Superfly?

 

Matt Riddle talks with Randy Orton backstage.

How great would be if Orton became a double champion? Though, how would he wear both titles? Well, okay, one around the waist, but which one? Would it be the WWE Championship? That’s huge, but then the Raw Tag titles have sentimental value. Orton puts on his headphones to tune Riddle out as he goes on about having a title on each shoulder, but then that makes things hard to open doors or give hugs. But that’s a problem for the future. Main thing is, win this match tonight. And don’t worry, Riddle will be ringside the entire time! But then Big E wanders in and pretends he got lost. Big E wants Orton to take it easy. He’s here to wish Orton luck against Lashley tonight, because Big E will be watching very, very closely.

Big E makes sure Orton sees the MITB briefcase, too. Tootles! Oh hey, that was the name of Riddle’s pet chameleon. Tootles was a great listener, a lot like Orton. It makes sense, because they’re both reptiles. Orton goes back to his headphones, but can he keep his focus clear with Bobby Lashley in the way between him and that world title?

 

Nikki A.S.H. w/ Rhea Ripley VS Tamina w/ Natalya!

Raw returns to the ring as Tamina and Natty make their entrance. Tamina holds up her belt and asks Nikki if that’s what she wants. The bell rings and Tamina rushes Nikki and DECKS her!

Backstage interview with Charlotte Flair.

Can she explain why Alexa Bliss gave her a creepy doll? Charlotte completely pushes past Sarah, only to see “Charlie” waiting for her on a trunk. Charlotte turns back to Sarah and says, “Here’s a comment for you. I don’t know why that sociopath gave me that doll, but the only give I care about delivering is the one I’m going to give Alexa Bliss at Extreme Rules when I destroy her and Lily. As for… Charlie, or whatever you call it, I’m gonna send it right where it belongs.” Charlotte storms over to a trash can and throws the doll in! Charlotte leaves, but will Charlie find her way back to the Queen again?

 

8 Man Tag: Mansoor, Mustafa Ali & The New Day VS AJ Styles, Omos, Mace & T-Bar!

These teams all ended up losing the Tag Team Turmoil thanks to the last minute addition of The Hurt Business, but there’s plenty of reasons for these four teams to battle! Will the Star of Saudi Arabia, The Beacon and #nDr take the fight to the Phenomenal One and the three mountainous men with him?

Raw returns as the towering predators, Mace & T-Bar, make their entrance, ready to bring the “herd” of weaklings to their slaughterhouse! Then Styles & Omos make their entrance, and Styles starts with Mansoor. The two circle, tie up, and Styles wrenches to a cording hold. But Mansoor uses ropes to throw Styles away!

Tag to Mace, he lines up a shot, but then the giants BOOT the New Day! They DOUBLE HIP TOSS Mansoor into the ring, then watch him fall out. Mace sets up Mansoor, APRON CHOKE SLAM! T-Bar CLOBBERS Ali and shouts, “That’s what you get!” Styles says he likes that and wants more! The four of them can do that, he’s sure of it!

Mace puts Ali in the ring to stomp away then cover, TWO! Mace gets Ali up, Ali throws body shots but Mace back suplexes high and hard! Cover, TWO! Mace drags Ali up, whips him over but Ali crashes and burns! Mace soaks up the heat as Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and T-Bar grinds Mansoor down with a chinlock. Mansoor fights up as fans rally, and JAWBREAKERS! But T-Bar anchors a foot, so Mansoor ENZIGIRIS! Styles tags in, he hurries to drag Mansoor away again, and he reaches for Omos. Mansoor enziguris but Styles ducks! Styles talks trash,  but Mansoor ENZIGURIS again! Hot tag to Woods! Kofi tags in right away, Woods dodges Styles to tilt-o-whirl headscissor into a set up, Kofi jumps in! MISSILE DROPKICK LEG SWEEP! Cover, TWO! Kofi whips, Styles reveres but Kofi slips out to swing kick! Kofi climbs, leaps, SPLASH to the back! Styles is down, T-Bar runs in but into a GAMANGIRI!

Woods says GET OVER HERE with the tornado DDT! Mace runs in but is sent back out! Kofi brings Styles up, knees him while Mansoor and Ali DOUBLE DIVE to take out Mace and T-Bar! Styles blocks Trouble in Paradise for an USHIGOROSHI! Cover, Ali breaks it! Mace gets Ali for a SCRAPBUSTER! Mansoor runs in to tilt-o-whirl INVERTED DDT! Mansoor leaps at T-Bar but into a SWINGING TOSS! Mansoor goes flying out of the ring! Woods SUPERKICKS T-Bar! Styles gets up, dodges the clothesline to PELE! Woods is down, Styles gets to his feet but Kofi O’Conner Rolls! TWO, and Ali tags in! Ali elbows Styles away and goes up to FLYING TORNADO DDT!

But Styles ends up in his corner! Omos tags in and Boston fires up! Ali looks at the mountain walking up to him and wants Omos to take it easy. Ali has no beef, but Omos TOSSES Ali around then CLOBBERS him! Omos looms over Ali, brings him up, but Mansoor leaps on for a sleeper! The New Day go after the legs! Omos just shoves Ali away, TOSSES Mansoor off, then drags the New Day up to shove Kofi out and TOSS Woods! Ali turns around into the TWO HAND SLAM DUNK!! Cover, Omos and team win!

Winners: AJ Styles, Omos, Mace & T-Bar, by pinfall

Once again, the colossal Omos conquers mortal men for his team! Will he and Styles be waiting on the other side of the eventual Raw Tag Team Championship match?

 

Backstage interview with the Hurt Business.

MVP wants Lashley to get in the zone but Kevin Patrick asks if Mr. MITB’s presence poses a distraction. MVP answers this by saying, “Absolutely not, Kevin.” Big E isn’t a distraction, he’s an annoyance. Lashley’s focus is on retaining the WWE World Championship at all costs, which means inflicting as much pain and misery as is inhumanely possible. Randy Orton will soon add his name to a growing list of people who have tried to take this title away. Kofi Kingston, Drew McIntyre, and even Goldberg have tried and failed. If Big E wants to cash in and add his name to the list, then that’s the worst career choice he could ever make. Only one man is leaving the WWE Champion, and that is the All Mighty Bobby Lashley!

“BOOOO~!” Big E boos and hisses that sentiment. But Big E’s just playing around, that’s all. Though he’s not playing when he says he completely intends on cashing in his MITB contract. “Have fun. I can’t wait! I can’t wait, Bobby!” Big E is laughing and excited, but who will he be going after once the final bell rings?

 

“Doudrop” Piper Niven VS Eva Marie!

The #EvaLution got #Doudropped last week, before a bell ever rang! The former protégé is looking for even more payback, but will she at least wait until things are official this time?

Raw returns and Eva makes her entrance. The bell rings, Eva dodges Piper and throws forearms and knees! Eva headlocks, thrashes around but Piper powers out to run Eva over! Piper nods and runs but Eva avoids the senton! Cover, ONE! Evan throws forearms, Piper blocks the whip! Piper whips Eva to a corner, runs in but Eva dodges to dribble Piper’s head off buckles! Piper staggers, Eva kicks low and cravats, but Piper wrenches out to HEADBUTT! Eva staggers into the DOUBLE AX HANDLES! Piper drags Eva up and fans fire up as Piper whips Eva to a corner. Piper runs in to SPLASH this time! Eva crawls, Piper looms over her, and Eva wants mercy.

Piper drags Eva up to scoop, but Eva rakes eyes to get free! Eva goes to schoolgirl but Piper isn’t even budging! Piper BACK SENTONS right there! Then runs to BASEMENT SPLASH! Cover, Piper wins!

Winner: Piper Niven, by pinfall

Eva put up a decent fight but she still got #Doudropped! Will Piper continue to do the Dou and maybe dou-minate the Raw Women’s Division?

 

Karrion Kross speaks.

“Hello. My name is Karrion… Kross!” But he’s not telling us anything we don’t already know. Deep down, most of us don’t know who we really are. However, we have ideas of who we’d like to be. No one really finds their true nature until they’re the ones suffering, or inflicting the suffering. Now, the suffering Kross has created has become insatiable. His list of casualties here on Raw continues to grow. If you want to know if there’s an ounce of empathy, or if Kross enjoys every second of the agony, “you tell me.”

You want to know his motives? His desires? His ultimate plan? Well, he might not know the answers, either. Maybe this is all he knows. The only certainty is that he will hurt every single person in this place until there is no one left and he gets what he wants! He isn’t here to be lost in the shuffle. Step by step, he will pulverize everyone around him “like clockwork, until everyone learns to Fall and Pray.”

 

WWE World Championship: Bobby Lashley w/ MVP VS Randy Orton w/ Matt Riddle!

Plays may have changed but the goal is still the same: be THE man with THE title in WWE! The Chief Hurt Officer won’t let the Viper sink his teeth in but the Apex Predator isn’t going to let the Rocky Mountain Machine claim he’s the top of the food chain! Who comes away with the world title, only to be targeted by Big E?

Raw returns and Lashley makes his entrance. The introductions are made, the WWE Championship is raised, and for the first time in 14 years, Lashley and Orton battle 1v1!

Orton and Lashley circle but Orton bails out to troll the champ. Lashley pursues, Orton slides back into the ring. Lashley pursues again but Orton just slides right back out. MVP tells Lashley to keep cool and not play Orton’s game. But Lashley storms out after Orton, they go around the way and Riddle talks some trash. Lashley tells him to shut up but Orton goes out to attack! Orton bounces Lashley off steps, post, more steps then the barriers! Orton throws EuroUppers, brings Lashley around and bounces him off the announce desk! Orton puts Lashley in the ring, covers, ONE! Orton isn’t bothered by that, he looms over Lashley and drags him back up.

But Lashley RAMS Orton into a corner! And RAMS his shoulder in again and again! Lashley throws hands, runs and RAMS his shoulder in again! Lashley runs but Orton dodges and Lashley POSTS himself! Riddle and the fans are fired up as Orton brings Lashley through ropes! But Lashley fights out to TOSS Orton out of the ring! Orton clutches his leg and hobbles but Lashley goes out after him. Lashley swings, but Orton gets him for a BARRIER BACK SUPLEX! Orton hobbles and runs back in to CLOTHESLINE Lashley into the timekeeper’s area! Orton refreshes the ring count as Raw goes to break!

Raw returns yet again as Lashley is up top and Orton throws hands on him! Orton fires off, the fans fire up and Orton CLUBS away on Lashley’s back! Orton stops to clutch his leg. Orton climbs up, fans fire up with the Viper as he gets Lashley to stand, SUPERPLEX! Both men are down but fans are fired up! MVP coaches Lashley but Orton covers, TWO! Riddle is fired up for Orton but Lashley bails out. A ring count begins as Lashley hobbles around now. Orton goes out and hobbles after Lashley, but Lashley fireman’s carries to POST Orton! Lashley fires up and walks off the pain to get in the ring. Riddle checks on Orton but MVP talks trash and mockingly fans Orton.

Orton slowly gets up as we’re at 7 of 10! Orton gets on the apron at 8 but Lashley is after him! Lashley runs and BLASTS Orton off apron and to barriers! Orton sputters and flops over while the ring count begins again. Lashley paces, Riddle coaches Orton up but Lashley goes out to chase Riddle off. Lashley puts Orton in the ring, slithers in a lot like the Viper, and he aims from the corner. Boston is behind Orton but Lashley runs in, to RAM Orton into the corner! Lashley growls and drags Orton back up for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Lashley clamps onto Orton with a chinlock and squeezes tight! Orton endures as fans continue to rally up.

Orton fights up, throws body shots and elbows over and over until he’s free! But Lashley catches him, only for Orton to throw more elbows. Lashley shoves, Orton comes back but he slips out of the spinebuster to rally with LARIATS! Lashley staggers, Orton fires up and runs in at the corner to clothesline again! Orton climbs and snarls as he rains down fists! The fans count all the way to 9 but Lashley shoves Orton away! Lashley runs into the POWERSLAM! Cover, TWO!! Lashley survives but Orton stalks him to the apron. Orton brings Lashley through the ropes, for the DRAPING DDT! MVP is worried because now Orton is hearing the voices!

Lashley slowly rises, but he denies the RKO! SPEAR!! Cover, TWO!?! Orton survives and shocks Lashley! Boston is thunderous and Lashley roars at Orton! Lashley stands, gets Orton up, but Orton holds off the full nelson! Orton keeps even just half getting on, back and forth between right and left arms! Orton elbows Lashley away, then RKO!! But Orton can’t make the cover before Lashley rolls away! MVP pulls Lashley the rest of the way out and Riddle gets in MVP’s face! The ref wants these two to stand down, but Orton goes out to RKO MVP!! Riddle mocks MVP’s pain and Orton goes back to the ring! Fans are thunderous again but Lashley SPEARS!! Cover, Lashley wins!!

Winner: Bobby Lashley, by pinfall (still WWE World Champion)

MVP plays his role as manager and sacrificial lamb perfectly, but then Lashley goes after Riddle! Lashley throws Riddle out, then stalks RKBRO around the way. Lashley fireman’s carries to POST Riddle! Orton goes to the announce desk, Lashley storms over and brings Orton around to MIGH HIGH SPINEBUSTER Orton through the table! The All Mighty may have hurt himself, though, as the table busting apart comes back to bite him! Lashley hobbles his way into the ring, and here comes BIG E!! The cash-in was promised, and the cash-in is coming! Lashley realizes the situation he’s put himself in now because it’s happening!! After the break.

WWE World Championship Money in the Bank Cash-In: Bobby Lashley VS Big E!

Raw returns once more, Big E wants this to get going but Lashley claims his bad leg is reason enough to not see this through. Big E SLAPS Lashley right across the face! Lashley is pissed and wants this match now, so the bell rings! Lashley tackles Big E and rains down furious fists! Lashley digs his fingers in Big E’s face and then drags Big E up to bump him off buckles. Lashley runs to clothesline, then goes again, but Big E dodges to come back and CHOP BLOCK the bad leg! Big E gets Lashley up, BIG- NO! Lashley slips out of the Ending to SPEAR Big E! Cover, TWO?!? Big E shocks Lashley, and stands right up!

Fans are thunderous, Lashley throws hands and reels Big E in, gut wrench but Big E slips out! Big E scoops, for the BIG ENDING!! Cover, Big E wins!!!

Winner: Big E, by pinfall (NEW WWE World Champion)

The cash-in was called like Babe Ruth’s homers and it came through like ’em, too! Bean Town celebrates with The New Day as they celebrate with Big E, right down to the pyro from the titantron! Lashley hobbles away in anger, will he be back for that belt soon enough? As for Big E, is this only the first day of a bright, shining future?


My Thoughts:

What a great ending to Raw for a great moment in WWE history! But at the same time, of course the change in plans was for this moment to happen. Roman Reigns has a lot going on and Vince isn’t taking that title off Roman, even if it is a cash-in. At the same time, we all kinda needed the New Day back together in full force, so this was a great way of doing that, too. Big E deserves all the “You Deserve It!” chants he’ll be getting from now on, he is now a RawDown Triple Crown, and he can easily carry this title for some time. This could’ve still happened if the Raw Tag Team titles were on the line tonight, but I guess WWE just wanted it to look bigger on paper for Big E’s sake, but also mostly theirs.

But enough cynicism! To the rest of… Oh, well, the rest of this episode was not quite as awesome as the main event story. Charlotte VS Shayna was good but it was definitely just a vehicle to the stories Raw wants to tell. Charlotte got a win because Nia screwed Shayna over and now those two will be having their break-up match for the go-home next week. Then Alexa did show up and had a pretty good promo with Charlotte. Alexa giving Charlotte a custom doll was a nice move, and I feel like “Charlie” should wait until Extreme Rules to pop up again. It won’t so much scare Charlotte but it’ll upset her so that Alexa can at least come close to winning.

“Doudrop” Piper didn’t quite dominate the way I expected/wanted, but she did dominate so that she hopefully puts this Eva feud to bed. Piper should build herself up on the other side of Extreme Rules, feuding with whoever wins out of Shayna VS Nia for some really great in-ring material. We got pretty good stuff out of Rhea, Nikki, Natty and Tamina, but I’m thinking the 2-0 sweep means the champs retain. At the same time, WWE can shrug off some of their criticism by defying their own 50-50 booking math and give us Rhea & Nikki as champs. Either way, Shotzi & Tegan need to roll out on their new super tank to basically remind everyone they have been owed a match for weeks now.

I do like that in the 24/7 Championship scene, Drake Maverick has gone from one of the hapless challengers chasing the champion to being this strategic mind trying to sort out the chaos. I fully expect him to make it so he is the one who wins the title and then laughs at the others as he suddenly has beefy back-up to keep him safe. Priest VS Hardy was a very good title match, but of course Sheamus gets his shots in. Priest stands tall here, but there’s still the go-home that could switch the math. McIntyre teaming with the Viking Raiders could’ve been something big but then it was just McIntyre destroying Mahal’s team. I still feel McIntyre should pursue the US title after Extreme Rules, so maybe he’s in a holding pattern these next couple of weeks.

The 8 Man Tag was a lot of fun, everybody got to do a lot of great stuff, but in the end, Omos stays strong as he just dominates everyone again. I don’t know if the Raw Tag Team Championships are for the go-home now that Lashley will want his title back from Big E, but now with Big E on top, things could really move around. New Day could go after RKBRO and we could see New Day all reign at the same time. Then, if it’s in time for Survivor Series, why keep it at just Big E VS Roman and Kofi-Woods VS Usos? FULL 3v3, The New Day VS The Bloodline, WWE could actually get some pro-wrestling related buzz going for a bit.

My Score: 8.2/10

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!

He welcomes us to Dynamite tonight in El Paso, and he welcomes out the 2025 Men’s Owen Hart Cup winner, Hangman Adam Page! The fans fire up as The Blackhat Cowboy walks out, King of Harts belt around his waist, and Schiavone brings up the great response from the fans. Hangman won The Owen in a dramatic classic on Sunday. The fans cheer, “You Deserve It!” as Hangman takes the mic. Hangman says, “Triumph. Triumph in life is fleeting, it’s momentary. You’re on top of the world for the night, and you wake up in the morning, and the moment you realize has passed you. But so is defeat.

“And in the past two years, and if I’m completely honest with myself, in the past three years, that is something that I let myself lose sight of. Because what matters is not the win, it is not the loss, it is what you decide to do with it that matters!” The fans cheer that! Hangman says at Double or nothing, two men entered the ring, and they both knew one would leave defeated. So before Hangman continues, he will say this to Will Ospreay. “Thank you. Thank you for the fight of my life! Thank you for reminding me why I decided to do this in the first place! And thank you for dispelling any notion that i had that you could not be the type of man to carry this company forward, because you can be!”

The fans cheer and chant for “Ospreay! Ospreay!” Hangman then says, while one tasted defeat, the other would taste victory. But he cannot relish in it! This moment is temporary and fleeting. Hangman will not hold this title, carry it or defend it. There will be another Owen Hart Cup, there will be another King of Harts. For now, Hangman returns this belt to AEW. Schiavone takes custody of the belt, and Hangman says he could stay out here all night and tell you how much this all truly means to him. But now, he must look forward to the one thing that for him, this has always been about: THE AEW World Championship!

The fans cheer that, and Hangman says that title has been the prize, the accomplishment, and the responsibility he has chased from the very moment we saw these three letters together for the first time. The fans chant “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Hangman says for seven MONTHS, that title has been hidden from the world, locked away in a briefcase. The fans boo, but Hangman says to him, that title was to be a shining light! A beacon to show the world what these three letters meant! It was about competition! About creativity! Compassion! Passion! And human dignity with which we all treat each other! That is what this is about!

The fans cheer more, and Hangman says on his first day in AEW, he told all of us, both here tonight and watching at home, that while he was here, we would be his boss. Tonight, he makes a promise. In seven weeks, here in Texas, Hangman will win the AEW World Championship! He will free it from the briefcase! He will hold it above his head for all the world to see! He will carry it and defend it with every ounce of his being, and that is a promise he will keep! But then “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Hangman is stunned, but here comes The Realest! Swerve steps into the ring to stare Hangman down, and Schiavone steps aside.

Swerve says, “I bet you wanna know why I’m here. So allow me to educate you and the fine people of El Paso, Texas why I’m here.” Swerve signals to the tron, and we flashback to April 9th of this year. Nick Jackson was explaining why The Young Bucks went and cost Swerve Strickland the AEW World Championship. They did it for their “good friend,” Hangman Page! Hangman wanted this! Swerve could not be world champion again, and The Bucks did that for him! They do not forget who their friends are! They love him, and they know he loves them. The fans boo and Swerve says he was looking at the same opportunity Hangman conveniently has now.

At Dynasty, the main event, Swerve had Moxley, he had the match won! And then so conveniently, The Bucks show up, who Swerve hadn’t bothered with since Blood & Guts, and they cost Swerve. But y’know who else was in the ring that night? Hangman Page. It is so funny how Hangman has his path to the title off Swerve’s loss. Swerve calls collusion! Hangman wants to make promises to the people of Texas? Let’s talk about a promise Hangman made. Hangman told Swerve to his face, in front of the world, that Hangman would never let Swerve be AEW World Champion again.

So Swerve is here now, staring Hangman down man to man, and he will ask Hangman, so don’t lie to him. Did Hangman do this? The fans chant “Tell The Truth! Tell The Truth!” Hangman says, “Well, dumbass… At Dynasty, I locked my eyes on you. Then I locked my eyes on Jon Moxley. And for one God forsaken second, I even thought about helping you. Swerve, if I had wanted to cost you that match, I would have done it myself to your face, because I have done it before.” The fans are torn, but Swerve says, “Sounds good, but you’re still full of sh*t.” The two jaw at each other while the fans rally up, but here comes Ospreay!

The fans cheer as the Aerial Assassin makes his way to the ring, and he has Swerve and Hangman back up. The fans are losing their minds seeing all three guys together. Ospreay borrows Swerve’s mic, and he looks to Hangman. The fans chant “BRUV! BRUV!” Ospreay then looks to Swerve, and Ospreay says he hates getting involved in Swerve’s business. Swerve has looked after Ospreay since he was 20 years old, he’s like a big brother. “But you’re wrong about him.” Ospreay defends Hangman, saying you learn a lot about someone getting in the ring with them when the stakes are high. And stakes couldn’t get any higher on Sunday.

On Sunday, Ospreay left it all in the ring with Hangman, and he has never felt more defeated in his entire life. Hangman had an important decision to make. He walked up the ramp, turned back, picked Ospreay up, and he shook Ospreay’s hand like a man. Ospreay looked in Hangman’s eyes, and he could see that Hangman cares about AEW. It is funny, because Ospreay had that same feeling when he lost to Swerve last year and then did the same thing. Swerve picked Ospreay up. Look around. The fans cheer, and Ospreay tells them both, “People are starting to believe in us again. I hate saying this to you, because I love you… But it is not you. I thought it was me, and it’s not me. It’s HIM!”

The fans cheer, and Ospreay wants Swerve to look at him. They have one shot at this. And they can make this easier on Hangman if they all work together. Swerve, Ospreay, Hangman- Swerve SLAPS the mic down! Ospreay wants Swerve to calm it down but Swerve says he will never work with Hangman, never trust Hangman, and never forgive Hangman! Swerve storms off and Ospreay is disappointed. The fans boo, but Ospreay tells Hangman to let that go. Hangman says he will work with Ospreay, but he will not work with Swerve either. Hangman storms off now, but will these bitter enemies ever realize this is bigger than them?

 

The Death Riders arrive.

Claudio parks the truck, and everybody spills out of the back. Moxley leads the way for Marina Shafir, Wheeler Yuta, and even Gabe Kidd. Moxley says, “Welcome to Dynamite.” They step into the building, find their way to the crowd, and they’re ready to redeem themselves from losing Anarchy in the Arena. But will they tear up Swerve’s allies to send a message? Or will this conglomeration come out on top?

Mixed Six Tag: Gabe Kidd, Jon Moxley & Marina Shafir VS Mark Briscoe, “Speedball” Mike Bailey & Willow Nightingale!

The trios sort out and the War Dog for hire starts against the Sussex County Chicken. The bell rings and the two run to DOUBLE LARIAT!

The fans fire up and Briscoe high fives the front row while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Briscoe high fives with Bailey and Willow, then goes back for Gabe. Briscoe CLAWS Gabe’s face, the ref sorts everyone else out, but Bailey sends Moxley into railing! Briscoe BITES Gabe on the forehead, then UPPERCUTS! Gabe flounders into the ring and Briscoe follows. Briscoe stands Gabe up to ROCK him with a right, and then he stomps Gabe into the corner. The ref counts, Briscoe steps off at 4, then he drags Gabe up. Briscoe tags Willow, they double whip Gabe and DOUBLE HIP TOSS! Willow flexes, then tags Bailey.

Bailey stays on Gabe, brings him over, and he tags Briscoe. Briscoe UPPERCUTS Gabe, then CHOPS! Briscoe whips, Gabe reverses, and Moxley gets a cheap shot in! Gabe clinches for an EXPLODER! Tag to Moxley and he storms up on Briscoe. Moxley drags Briscoe over to then stomp him in the corner. Moxley soaks up heat, but that just lets Marina CHOKE Briscoe in the distraction! Gabe adds on, too! Moxley goes back to Briscoe, digs his boots in, but stops as the ref counts. Briscoe sputters, but Moxley taunts Bailey & Willow.

PROGRAMMING NOTE for Collision!

This Saturday, May 31st, Collision will air coast to coast on TNT at 8 PM Eastern, OR immediately following NBA Playoffs Game 6, but you can always stream on HBO Max!

 

The Hurt Syndicate speaks.

MVP says, “Tonight was not just a momentous occasion, it was a historical occasion, because two things happened tonight. This was the fifth consecutive, successful title defense of the AEW Tag Team Championships, and the debut of the young genius, Maxwell Jacob Friedman, as a full-fledged member of the Hurt Syndicate.” MJF says, “Bobby & Shelton are the most dominate tag team in the world today. Think of any top tag team in this sport, anyone, they’d beat ’em clean, easy. These belts ain’t going nowhere. Now that I am in the Hurt Syndicate, I am gonna make sure of that. And the Syndicate, we roll together, so we’re all collectively going to make sure we’re all strapped in gold.

“As far as my Triple B goes, my Big Beautiful Belt, my AEW World title is concerned, it will soon be around my waist. And if you find yourself in between the Hurt Syndicate and our goals, don’t be surprised if you wake up face down in a pool of your own piss and blood. But hey, man, when it comes to the Syndicate, it ain’t personal. It’s just business.” They all fist bump, but who will be next to step up and get stepped on?

 

Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford speak.

The Superbad Girl says Anna Jay & Harley Cameron had to cheat to beat them on Sunday. Tonight, it is NO DISQUALIFICATIONS, just like Anna & Harley have always wanted. The Megasus says that means they are her next sacrifice. Will the path of destruction only be more destructive now that Megan doesn’t have to hold back?

 

Ricochet speaks.

The One & Only says, “I had told that everybody after Double or Nothing, after I had laid wasted to Mark Briscoe, I would continue my quest for gold. A quest that I have been on since day one here in AEW. But I stopped, and I take a second, and I look around AEW, and I get the lay of the land, and I start to see the landscape for what it actually is. I see the Death Riders, I see The Opps, I see the Don Callis Family, I see the Hurt Syndicate, and I think to myself… Ricochet needs a group. Ricochet needs a crew. Ricochet needs some loyal subjects that will follow and help him on his quest for gold.

“And once I do, once I find the perfect crew, then I will continue to show everybody why Ricochet is simply Outta This World. AHA~!”

 

No Disqualification Tag: Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford!

For those who watched the Double or Nothing Buy-In, what part of that tag match did Harley & Anna “cheat” to win? Perhaps the Megasus & Superbad Girl don’t want to admit they got outsmarted by the Queenslayer & Wild Aussie. But now there will be no excuses because there is no such thing as cheating in a No Disqualifications match! Will Anna & Harley be the stars of the show after going all out? Or will they be made to #BowDown?

Megan & Ford come prepared with a trash can, its lid, and a golden steel chair! But Anna & Harley are ready to ride as a couple cowgirls armed with two-by-four and steel pipe!

Mercedes Mone arrives in a low rider.

The CEO is once again #FourBeltsMone as she holds up her Queen of Harts title, even as her driver parks the convertible. The AEW TBS Champion struts in as a rhinestone cowgirl, ready to meet the AEW Women’s World Champion face to face, but will they keep it civil? Or will there be a shootout in El Paso?

 

Six Man Tag: The Opps VS The Frat House!

Samoa Joe, Katsuyori Shibata & “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs were part of the winning Team AEW at Anarchy in the Arena. But now, they focus on being AEW World Trios Champions. Will they be ready to go all in this summer? OR will Preston Vance, Griff Garrison, Cole Karter, Jacked Jameson, and even their El Paso “Pledges” be toasting a huge victory?

Jameson has a mic, and he tries to get the fans to join in on “FRAT~ HOUSE~!” They boo instead. Jameson says okay, last night, here in El Paso, him and the boys at Shifty’s Dive, throwing one of their world famous pledge parties. They are traveling the country, throwing these parties, looking for their next members. They were out on the town, and there was a sign with a saying that Jameson really likes: El Paso Strong! The fans cheer that! Jameson says that doesn’t make sense, all the guys are weak and skinny and all the girls are fat and ugly. The fans boo again. Jameson says needless to say, they didn’t find a new member.

But hey, that’s okay, they are not leaving emptyhanded. They’re walking out tonight the NEW Trios Champions! Uh, the belts aren’t on the line…? But Preston Vance says, “Win or lose, we BOOOOOOOOOZE~!” Vance gets in Joe’s face with that, and Joe HEADBUTTS him down!

MEAT!” as Hobbs fires more LARIATS into Karter! Hobbs reels Karter in for the short arm LARIAT! The straps come down and the fans fire up. Hobbs DECKS Griff off the apron, but Vance BLATSS Shibata and Joe!

Joe runs in, Vance runs away, and the ref is distracted, so Jameson slips in with that frat paddle! Jameson SMACKS Hobbs! Hobbs just gets mad! Hobbs LARIATS Jameson up and out! A Pledge is sent in!? Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Another Pledge tries, but he gets a SPIENBUSTER! The third Pledge tries, he gets a SPINEBUSTER! Vance has the paddle! The ref stops Vance, and Hobbs gives him a SPINEBUSTER! Karter climbs up the corner, almost slips, but he still leaps, into a SPINEBUSTER! Cover, Opps win!

Winners: The Opps, by pinfall

That was town bidness times ten! Will the Frat House study up next time? Will The Opps continue to prove they are #NeverLacking?

 

Renee Paquette is in the ring.

Renee welcomes out the woman who fought her heart out at Double or Nothing, Jamie Hayter! The fans cheer as Hayter heads to the ring, clearly bummed she is NOT the 2025 Queen of Harts. Renee brings up that unfortunately, Hayter could not overcome Mone in the finals. And she knows Hayter was worried about what her future in AEW would look like without that win. Has Hayter had time to think about what’s next? Hayter tells Renee, that is the question. But then the lights go out!? Oh no, could it be…? The lights come back up and it is THEKLA! The Toxic Spider is in AEW, and she’s right on Hayter!

Thekla DECKS Hayter, then stands over her! Thekla stares into the camera, then spider-walks over! Will the “Idol Killer” tear down all those that came before her in order to be THE woman in AEW?

 

AEW TNT Championship: Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher w/ The Don Callis Family!

The Paragon could not stop the Don Callis Family on Sunday, and now the Panama City Playboy is the Protostar’s next target! Will the Aussie Arrow hit the mar and take this title home for the family? Or will it still be all about the BOOM?

The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who is the true Face of TNT!

Callis is on commentary to say the fans love Cole because he’s just like the fans: he lives on hopes and dreams. Callis says you can’t take hopes to the bank, but you can bank on Fletcher! The bell rings and the fans rally up as Cole and Fletcher stare down. Cole and Fletcher circle, feel things out, and tie up. Fletcher puts Cole in a corner, lets off slowly, then rolls back to mock the “Adam Cole Baybay!” Cole and Kyle circle, tie up, and Cole waistlocks. Fletcher pries free, switches, then he SLAMS Cole down! The fans are torn but Fletcher flexes on Cole. Cole and Fletcher reset, circle, and tie up. Cole headlocks, Kyle fights the takeover, and Kyle powers out.

Kyle RUNS Cole over, smirks, and then goes back for Cole. Kyle slips, Cole slips free, and Cole fires forearms! Kyle scoops but Cole fights free again! Kyle kicks low, CLUBS Cole on the back, but Cole PELES! The fans fire up and Kyle staggers around! Cole storms up to fire hands and he puts Kyle in a corner. Cole stomps a mudhole into Kyle, steps off as the ref counts, and he gives a proper “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY!” The fans cheer, Cole whips corner to corner, but Kyle reverses. Kyle runs up but Cole puts him on the apron, and SUPERKICKS him down! The fans fire up and Cole waits on Kyle. Cole goes to the apron and takes aim, only for PRG Vice to step up!

The fans boo as Rocky Romero & Trent Beretta stand in Cole’s way, but Callis says this is strength in numbers. Well speaking of, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly rush out here! Paragon brawls with RPG Vice and head to the back! The fans fire up, Cole goes to fetch Fletcher, but Fletcher SUPERKICKS Cole down! Kyle drags Cole up, reels him in, and APRON POWERBOMBS!! That was a lot more Cole’s head and neck then his back, and while the ref checks Cole, Callis mockingly says he’s gonna check on Kyle while Dynamite goes picture in picture.

Fletcher flexes more while he soaks up heat, and Callis really does walk over to talk with him. Kyle steps into the ring and somehow Cole is okay to continue, so a ring count starts. Cole stirs at about 3 of 10, Callis & Kyle soak up more heat, but then Kyle goes out to fetch Cole at about 7. Kyle drags Cole into the ring, then stomps him down! Kyle stomps Cole more, then stalks him to ropes. Kyle JUMP STOMPS Cole down! And JUMP STOMPS again! Then he CHOKES Cole on the ropes! The ref counts, Kyle steps off, and Cole goes to a corner. Kyle soaks up heat, distracts the ref, and that lets Callis CHOKE Cole!

Callis scurries back to commentary before he’s caught, and Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires body shots but Kyle eggs him on. Cole fires more shots, but Kyle BOOTS him down! Kyle paces while he soaks up more heat, and he checks if that’s for him or for Cole. It is for Kyle, so Kyle scoops Cole and SLAMS him! Kyle paces more while Cole writhes. Cole sits up but Kyle is on him with another scoop and SLAM! Kyle leans on the ropes while he soaks up more heat, then he goes back to Cole. Kyle rains down fists, clamps on a chinlock, and he grinds Cole down. Cole endures and fights up while Dynamite returns to single picture.

The fans rally as Cole fires body shots, only for Kyle to scoop and SLAM again! Kyle twists Cole’s wrist, scoops and SLAMS again, then eggs everyone on. The fans boo but Kyle drags Cole up. Cole fires forearms! The fans rally, but Kyle scoops and spins to SLAM! Callis says the reason Cole was outside to be hit with that apron powerbomb is because he went after Kyle outside the ring. Callis says Cole only has himself to blame. Kyle runs corner to corner, but Cole SUPERKICKS! Callis is eating his words the way Kyle ate that foot! The fans are thunderous as Cole rises up! Cole storms up to fire forearm after forearm!

Kyle shoves Cole but Cole LARIATS! And ELBOWS! And BOOTS! Kyle staggers around, Cole brings him over, but Kyle fights the fireman’s carry! Kyle runs, but Cole BOOTS him! Kyle rebounds into the fireman’s carry! USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO! Kyle survives but the fans rally behind Cole. Cole rises up, goes to the corner, and he climbs up to aim again. Kyle stands into the PANAMA- NO, Kyle BACKDROPS then sits down on a cover, TWO!! Cole escapes, Kyle blocks his kick, and Kyle spins Cole for a SNAP HALF ‘N’ HALF! Cole flounders, Kyle runs corner to corner, GAMANGIRI! And then Kyle reels Cole in, but Cole suplexes, GHOST BUSTER!!

Cole fires up, rises up, and the fans are with him! PANAMA SUNRISE!!! Kyle sputters, Cole brings down the kneepad, and Callis freaks out! But JOSH ALEXANDER is here, and he just CLOBBERS Cole!!

Winner: Adam Cole, by disqualification (still AEW TNT Champion)

Callis laughs as the Don Callis Family’s Walking Weapon beats Cole down! But Kyle doesn’t get to be TNT Champion, what good was this? Alexander BITES Cole, Callis says break Cole! Kyle & Alexander mug Cole while the fans boo and cuss Callis out! But wait! Here comes Brody King! The King of Death ahs a chair, and he runs Alexander & Kyle off! This match was to be the main event, but it might as well happen now! Will Brody bulldoze through Alexander to head for Fyter Fest? Or will the Don Callis Family still secure something good for the Summer?

 

AEW International Championship Qualifier: Josh Alexander w/ The Don Callis Family VS Brody King!

BREAKING NEWS for Collision!

On top of the other two International Championship qualifiers, Claudio VS Komander and Hechicero VS Mascara Dorada, we will have Mina Shirakawa VS Skye Blue! Will the Fighting Gravure Idol stay strong in the wake of losing at Double or Nothing? Plus, after the confrontation during the TNT Championship match, Paragon battles RPG Vice, but with some added names to the mix! RPG Vice bring in NEVER Openweight Champion, Konosuke Takeshita, while Roddy & Kyle conglomerate with NJPW Strong Openweight Champion, Tomohiro Ishii! Could this Six Man Tag open some doors to more golden opportunities?

 

Kyle Fletcher speaks.

The Protostar does not know whose call that was, whether it was Callis or Alexander, but he doesn’t care, because he does NOT need help out there, and certainly not to beat Adam Cole! He should be standing here as the NEW TNT Champion! But speaking of Cole, he comes running in and the two start throwing hands! Kyle has a GUILLOTINE FACELOCK! Security rushes out, separates the two, and Cole says Kyle is a dead man! Cole knows he had Kyle beat, but when and where will these two put the claims to rest?

 

Mercedes Mone heads to the ring!

The CEO struts her way out, carrying all her belts, the Owen Hart Cup on display. Mone grabs a mic and says, “El Pasooooo~! I now stand before you not only as the greatest TBS & Rev-Pro Champion of all time… But as the greatest winner of the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament!” The fans are torn, but Mone says the legends, Owen Hart and her hero, Eddie Guerrero… The fans cheer for El Paso’s own, the late, great Latino Heat, and Mone says they do NOT compare to the greatness of Mone! That is why she is the CEO of AEW! But wait! Timeless Toni Storm makes her way out here! This face-to-face is now official as the AEW Women’s World Champion steps into the ring.

The fans cheer for Toni, and the two champions eye each other while Toni gets herself a mic. Toni kicks off the shoes and sets her belt down on the mat. Mone says, “Toni, darling, we finally meet.” The fans applaud that, and Mone says she knows these AEW fans are so sick of the black ‘n’ white. They want a champion full of color! The fans boo that, but Toni says, “Hello, Mercedes. I have waited so long for you. 441 days ago, you arrived in AEW on a show named after you. And since then, you’ve won titles, you’ve made history, and you’ve remained undefeated. But you have never once spoke to me. You have never once looked at me.

“You said that you’ve been watching me since before you even came here. You told Antony Khan that this was the one match you wanted to have. So, darling, what took you so long?” The fans cheer, and Mone says back, “What took me so long? Patience, darling, patience.” The fans boo, but Mone says this isn’t about Toni, this is about Mone and her legacy. And you think she’s going to go around backstage shaking just anybody’s hand? When Mone is the Beyonce of Women’s Wrestling? You gotta be kidding! The fans boo but Mone asks Toni, “Do you not know who I am? I am the standard, I am the conversation, I am the blueprint, I AM the revolution!”

Fans are torn, but Toni smirks as there are those who chant, “No, You’re Not! No, You’re Not!” Toni says she is the Toni Storm of Pro-Wrestling, and she swears to an unknown God that you have NEVER met anyone like her! The fans cheer that! Mone says yes, that’s right. This Toni, this “shy, nervous Toni Storm that I met ten years ago,” is very different. But so is Mone. Mone is not just a Boss, she is a CEO. She has beaten the very best from all over the world, from Mexico to Japan to England. And now at All In: Texas, Mone is bringing it home. We will have THE greatest women’s match of all time! Fans like the sound of that.

Toni says they have so many similarities. They both started so young, struggled on the indies, found success, were given trophies and flowers, and when those weren’t enough, they left it all behind to follow their hearts. And in AEW, they became exactly who they are meant to be! The fans cheer that! Mone nods, and Toni continues: There is one glaring difference. While Mone wants all the titles, Toni needs only one. Toni has lived for this title, she has cried for this title, she has bled for this title, and she has DIED for this title! The fans chant, “She’s Our Champion! Toni! Toni!” Mone is annoyed, but Toni keeps going.

“So if you want to ride the Money Train through the Toni Tunnel, I just hope you can get deep enough.” The fans cheer that! Mone says not even Toni’s hips are wide enough for the Money Train! Toni says 45 days form now, they will meet again in Texas. And somewhere in the world, a little girl with big dreams will be watching. She will say, “Holy S*IT, these b*tches are crazy!” And then, that little girl will find out who the better woman is! Toni sincerely believes Mone is the greatest of all time. But unfortunately for Mone, Toni happens to be TIMELESS~! The fans cheer that, and Mone scowls.

Mone tells Toni that Toni may call herself timeless, but what she deserves is for her time to come an end! Mone will see Toni at All In! Toni says, “See you at All In, darling.” The fans fire up as Mone puts her other belts aside to offer a handshake. Toin smiles and accepts. Then they bring each other in to stare down. Toni smells Mone, and then kisses Mone on the hand. Mone reels Toni in for a Gory Especial! Toni fights out to reel Mone in! Mone scrambles free of the driver, and the fans fire up! That was just a taste of what’s to come, but who will taste sweet victory when these two battle it out in Globe Life Field?


My Thoughts:

A great Dynamite to follow Double or Nothing while building to Fyter Fest and All In. Excalibur said himself that tonight paralleled Double or Nothing by bookending things with the Owen Hart Cup stories. Great opening promo from Hangman, Swerve and Ospreay. Swerve did have a good point of asking if Hangman was in cahoots with The Bucks, but we also know that’s not the case. And of course Swerve and Hangman will be at odds during this whole All In build. But just as likely, we will get a great “Avengers working together” kind of moment to finally take out the Death Riders and get that title off Moxley.

Great closing promo from Toni and Mone, with a good reference back to their time in WWE. I’m still hoping for them to put all the belts on the line so that they are truly going all in. But the tease of someone taking a finisher to the belt was good stuff. 45 days of build, who knows what else we get, but there’s also no guarantee that Mone keeps the TBS Championship. It’d be wild if someone took that title from her on the way, but it could be a point of pressure that Mone has to defend her other belts while Toni only has to worry about one.

Good debut for Thekla tonight, it was very in line with a Malakai/Aleister Black debut. Hayter seems to automatically be the woman who faces returning and debuting wrestlers and that’s not a bad spot, but it would be nice if she got to do title stuff. Great women’s tag match, and kudos to Harley fighting through a broken nose. But in the end, the Heels winning made sense when they lost at Double or Nothing. There’s talk of tag titles coming, but I don’t have faith in that when TK’s pacing of the women’s division still hasn’t improved. The current example is the poor planning he has with the ROH Women’s Pure Championship.

RIP the Frat House, their ceiling is ROH after getting crushed by The Opps. A little surprised we didn’t get Hook showing up or having a promo, but maybe that happens for Collision. The Mixed Six Tag was great stuff, and throwing Speedball in there was a little surprising until it was clear the Death Riders were winning that. Good promo from Hurt Syndicate, but every time MJF talks about “his” world title, it feels like Lashley wants to roll his eyes or something, because duh, why wouldn’t he and Shelton want their own shots at that title? If Moxley does lose at All In, and MJF goes after Hangman, you can bet MJF and Lashley butt heads again over who really gets the title match.

Good promo from Ricochet, but I wonder… Ricochet wants a crew, there’s a duo named CRU… Is Ricochet going to lead Lio & Action as a trio? And if it isn’t CRU, who would fall in line behind Ricochet? Unless that’s the point of his next story arc: failing to make a faction because he’s that insufferable. And great Don Callis Family stuff tonight. Cole VS Kyle was great, good move for Paragon to go after them, and that Six Man Tag on Collision will be fun. Alexander running out there really was confusing, not just kayfabe, but maybe they want to give Kyle an out. Kyle is great as a wrestler and a personality, fans surely will cheer for him over the rest of Callis Family, but we’ll wait and see how Cole VS Kyle 2 goes.

Alexander VS Brody was a great main event match, with great story of going after Brody’s hand. Alexander getting busted open hard way from perhaps that top rope stuff did add something. And honestly, I’m pleasantly surprised by Brody winning. Brody and Omega alone is great, but then it’ll surely be Claudio over Komander, and now Hechicero over Mascara Dorada to keep the two Faces and two Heels ratio.

My Score: 8.9/10

The Time Splitter could not put out the fire, and Akira still has life! But will this be enough for Akira to be a finalist? Or will he be extinguished by another’s victory?

 

Best of the Super Juniors 32 A Block: Master Wato VS Yoshinobu Kanemaru!

The Way of the Grandmaster fell in the main event of last round, but he still has a chance to be in the finals! Will he stay alive just a little longer? Or will the Heel Master pour some whiskey on Wato’s dreams?

Well, to start, Kanemaru attacks during Wato’s entrance! The fans boo as Kanemaru kicks and CLUBS Wato! Kanemaru POSTS Wato, Wato falls over, and Kanemaru stomps him down! The ref reprimands but Kanemaru tells him to shut up. Kanemaru leaves Wato behind and wants the ring count. The ref has the bell ring first, and now a ring count can start. Wato rises at 3 of 20, is on the apron, but Kanemaru runs up. Wato RAMS Kanemaru, takes aim, but Kanemaru shoves the ref into Wato! Wato falls, as does the ref, and the fans boo as Kanemaru goes out after Wato! Kanemaru POSTS Wato again!

Kanemaru brings out chairs, puts on one Wato’s leg, then SLAMS the other chair on top of it! Not quite a Con-Chair-To but it gets the job done. Kanemaru SMASHES Wato’s knee on the floor, then goes back to the ring. The ref reprimands but Kanemaru lets Wato writhe. Wato clutches his knee while the ring count starts again. Wato crawls but he’s still down at 10 of 20. Wato reaches for the apron at 15, stands at 17, but manages to jump in at 19! Kanemaru YANKS the bad leg, stomps away on Wato, then stands him up. Kanemaru whips, but Wato can’t even run! The ref checks Wato but Kanemaru is right on those legs!

Kanemaru chuckles as he holds Wato open, but then he gives the ref one leg so Kanemaru can split the wishbone! Wato flounders, stands, and Kanemaru DROPKICKS the legs out! Kanemaru then grabs a leg to YANK it! Kanemaru stomps Wato more, taunts him, then drags him back up. Kanemaru has the leg for the SHIN BREAKER! And then he turns Wato over, HALF CRAB! Wato endures and the fans rally while Kanemaru sits deep! Kanemaru pulls on the leg, but Wato scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer but Kanemaru won’t let go! The ref counts, Kanemaru finally lets go at 4, and he drags Wato right back up.

Kanemaru whips, but Wato still can’t run that well! Wato tumbles to the apron, then slips to the floor. Kanemaru goes right after Wato to SMASH the knee on the floor! The fans rally for Wato while he writhes but Kanemaru leaves him behind. The ref checks with Wato but Wato won’t let this stop him. The ring counts as Kanemaru waits on Wato. Wato is still down at 10 of 20, just like last time. Wato slowly rises and stands at 16. Wato rolls in at 17 and the fans cheer, but Kanemaru grabs the legs for a FIGURE FOUR! Wato endures, the fans rally, but Kanemaru puts on the pressure! Wato flails, reaches out, and he drags Kanemaru along! ROPEBREAK!!

The fans cheer and Kanemaru makes the ref help him undo the hold. Wato grits his teeth and clutches his leg but the fans still rally behind him. Kanemaru stomps Wato, stomps the leg, then kicks him around. Wato stands to CHOP! And CHOP! Kanemaru KICKS the leg! Kanemaru whips Wato but Wato again falls! The leg is in bad shape but Wato refuses to give up. Wato stands, Kanemaru runs up, but Wato ELBOWS him! And BULLDOGS! The fans fire up as Wato powers through the pain! Wato crawls over to Kanemaru and fires up! The fans rally again and Wato wrenches Kanemaru. Kanemaru fights the Recientemente and goes after that leg!

Kanemaru runs, but Wato blocks the boot to spin and ZIGZAG! The fans fire up, Wato brings Kanemaru up, and Wato wrenches to RECIENTEMENTE! Cover, TWO!! Kanemaru survives but Wato just fires up again! The fans are with him as he waistlocks and TSUTEN- NO, Kanemaru grabs the ref! Kanemaru mule kicks the leg! Then he KICKS the other leg! Then he trips Wato to step through, FIGURE FOUR!! Wato endures, the fans rally as hard as they can, but Kanemaru puts on the pressure! Wato reaches out but he’s so far away! Wato pushes against the main leg, he grabs at the ref, but that won’t save him!

Wait, what is SHO doing here?! The Murder Machine is in B Block, but the House of Torture boys will always help each other cheat! The ref keeps Sho back, but Yujiro Takahashi is also here! Tokyo Pimp slides the whiskey bottle to Kanemaru! Kanemaru CLUBS away on Wato’s leg with that bottle!! The fans boo as Wato can only suffer! Kanemaru puts even more pressure on the hold, and WATO TAPS!! Kanemaru wins!!

Winner: Yoshinobu Kanemaru, by submission (gains 2 points; Wato earns 0)

Kanemaru’s game plan to go after the legs was working well enough, he didn’t need the House’s help! But perhaps Kanemaru wanted to stoop to these lows in order to win! And now Sho & Yujiro help stomp away on Wato! But here comes Yoh! Direct Drive saves his tag partner and runs off The House! He even gets a chair! Yoh wants them to man up, but that’s not happening. But now, with Hiromu Takahashi having beat Wato and issuing the tag title challenge, and now Kanemaru winning tonight… Could we really be seeing such an odd couple as Timebomb & Heel Master going for the tag titles?

 

Best of the Super Juniors 32 A Block: Kosei Fujita VS Clark Connors!

One down, two to go. Wato is out of the running after Kanemaru cut him off at the knees, so to speak. Will the Japanese Young Punk fight his way into the finals? Or will 100 Proof bring down even the mighty?

The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They feel things out, but then Connors KNEES low! Connors CLUBS Fujita, headlocks, but Fujita powers up and out. Connors RUNS Fujita over, the fans are torn, but Connors barks. The fans bark with the War Dog and he runs. Fujita stays low, then bypasses Connors to DROPKICK! The fans cheer while Connors bails out, and Fujita runs. Connors moves aside but Fujita goes to the apron. PENALTY KICK! Fujita sets up, Connors avoids the Asai Moonsault, and Fujita staggers to his feet for the JEEP FLIPPER! Connors tells fans to move so they move! Connors BOWLS Fujita into the chairs! STRIKE!

Connors tells more fans to move, then he drags Fujita up from the chairs. Connors BOWLS Fujita again, not quite a strike but close. Connors picks up the spare by stomping Fujita down. Red Shoes reprimands and wants this in the ring. Connors drags Fujita up and over, but Fujita fires body shots. Connors CLUBS Fujita, then POSTS him! Fujita falls in a heap and the fans rally up. Connors says it is time. He brings out WHEEL-SAN! The fans are torn, Red Shoes reprimands, but Connors shoves him aside! Connors SLAMS Wheel-san onto Fujita’s back! Red Shoes reprimands but Connors brings Wheel-san to the apron.

Connors aims, and he SUPER SLAMS Wheel-san onto Fujita! Fujita writhes and the fans are torn, but Connors throws up the Too Sweet. Robbie Eagles is here via commentary so he checks on his teammate and friend. Fujita is still in this so Connors lets the ring count start. The fans rally and Fujita is still down at 10 of 20. Fujita crawls at 12, rises at 14, but he flounders at 16! The fans rally harder, and Fujita springs in at 19.5! Connors hauls Fujita up to whip him hard into a corner! Fujita falls and Connors covers, TWO! Connors drags Fujita up, whips him hard into another corner, and he lets Fujita fall again.

Fujita writhes, Connors paces, and he stomps Fujita’s back! Connors drags Fujita up, reels him in, and snap suplexes! Cover, TWO! Fujita stays in this but Connors stays on him with a knee to the back and a chinlock clamped on! Fujita endures, reaches out, but Connors drags him from the ropes! Connors digs his knee into Fujita’s back, and puts a lot of extra pressure on that chinlock. Fujita still fights his way forward to the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer and Connors lets go in frustration. Connors drags Fujita back up to snap suplex again! The fans rally and Connors aims from a corner. BANG and Connors runs in, but Fujita drop toeholds!

Fujita ties the legs up fast and has the Deathlock! Fujita has the chinlock now, but Connors endures! Connors bends Fujita’s fingers, Red Shoes reprimands, and Connors lets go  to scramble forward, ROPEBREAK! Fujita undoes the leglock and protests about the fingers, but Connors huffs ‘n’ puffs. Connors brings Fujita up, whips, but Fujita LEG LARIATS! Both men are down and the fans fire up! Fujita and Connors go to ropes, the fans rally up, and Fujita runs in at the corner. Fujita CHOPS Connors, snapmares, then goes up and out! The fans rally and Fujita springboards, MISSILE DROPKICK! Cover, TWO!

The fans rally as Connors stays in this, but Fujita shakes his head. Fujita has the legs, he turns Connors over, and he has the BOSTON CRAB! Fujita sits down deep on Connors’ bad back! Connors powers up, reaches out, but Fujita drags him back to have the HALF CRAB! Fujita puts all he has into pulling that leg back, but Connors still crawls forward! Connors fights to the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer, Fujita lets go, and Connors clutches his back. Fujita drags Connors up and reels him in, but Connors fights the suplex! Fujita powers through, Connors wrenches, but Fujita CHOPS! Fujita runs, but Connors SNAP POWERSLAMS!

The fans cheer and rally up while both men are down! Connors rises, brings Fujita around, but Fujita fights off No Chaser!

Fujita KICKS the arms, O’Conner Roll and CHAOS- NO, Connors fights free, runs, but Fujita pops him up into the waistlock! Connors fights free again, and LARIATS! But Fujita is right up!? Connors runs in, Fujita dodges, pop up and GERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!! Connors stays in this but Fujita roars!

The fans fire up and Fujita vows to end this. Fujita drags Connors up, fisherman and torture rack! But Connors fights free, and he ROCKS Fujita in the back! TROPHY KILLER!! Cover, TWO!! Fujita survives Connors’ old finisher, but Connors drops back and runs in, BLINDSIDE SPEAR!! Connors is targeting Fujita’s back as much as Fujita is Connors’! Connors reloads, runs in again, SPEAR to the front!! Cover, TWO?!?! Fujita survives and the fans fire up! Connors is shocked, but he roars and drags Fujita back up. NO CHASE- NO, Fujita fights free! But Connors blocks the kick, spins him, and TROPHY KILLER BACKBREAKER!!

Fujita writhes, the fans rally, and Connors aims again. Fujita rises, Connors runs up, but Fujita BOOTS him first! Connors comes back, SPEAR meets DOUBLE STOMPS!! Fujita then clamps on the Deathlock! He has the arms, NEMOS SPECIAL!!! Connors endures but Fujita bends him back!! Connors flails, but he TAPS! Fujita wins!!!

Winner: Kosei Fujita, by submission (gains 2 points; Connors earns 0)

The Mighty Don’t Kneel, they don’t give up, and perhaps, they are still in this race! Will the Japanese Young Punk fight until the very end? Or will was this the last win he’ll get in BOSJ 32?

 

Best of the Super Juniors 32 A Block: Hiromu Takahashi VS Robbie X!

It is apropos that the most decorated man, the FOUR-TIME BOSJ winner, is in the main event of the ninth and final round. If he wins, he moves on to potentially grabbing number five! But if he loses, it will be Kosei Fujita’s time to shine. Will Robbie take Hiromu to the X-treme? Or will the Ticking Timebomb still have time on the clock?

The bell rings and the fans rally for “HI-RO-MU! HI-RO-MU!” Robbie shrugs that off as he and Hiromu circle. They run up and DOUBLE LARIAT! They stay up, and Robbie ducks Hiromu’s elbow. Hiromu dodges in return and headlocks, only for Robbie to power up and out. Hiromu RUNS Robbie over, Robbie kips up, but Hiromu CHOPS him down! Robbie kips up again, kicks low, then runs, but Hiromu DROPKICKS the legs! Hiromu whips, Robbie reverses, but Hiromu still dropkicks the legs out! Robbie bails out, Hiromu fires the fans up, but then Hiromu waits as Robbie hobbles around. Hiromu goes out, Robbie slides in, then Robbie HANDSPRING KICKS!

The fans rally as Hiromu is on the floor, and Robbie PLANCHAS! Down goes Hiromu and the fans cheer. Robbie takes a fan’s Hiromu pillow, rubs it in Hiromu’s face, then SMACKS him with it! Robbie then tells fans to move as he fetches Hiromu. Fans rally for Hiromu but Robbie BOWLS Hiromu into chairs! The fans are torn as Robbie hits the strike, but Robbie also flips off the Hiromu fans. Robbie stomps Hiromu, then grabs a fan’s Hiromu towel to CHOKE Hiromu with it! Robbie throws it back at the fan, and in a way that towel is more valuable because it touched Hiromu. Robbie then drags Hiromu up to bring him to another section!

The fans hurry away, Robbie whips, but Hiromu reverses to BOWL Robbie into chairs! The fans fire up as Hiromu gets even with Robbie! Hiromu storms over to bring Robbie up, and CHOP! The fans cheer and Hiromu CHPOS Robbie again! They go through the crowd, and Robbie CLAWS Hiromu’s eyes! Robbie CHOPS Hiromu, laughs at him and the fans, then brings Hiromu back to ringside. Robbie ROCKS Hiromu, and then he takes chairs from the crowd! Robbie refreshes the count before he makes Hiromu take a swat. Robbie CHOPS Hiromu, sets the other chair up nearby, and he tells the fans he’s gonna end Hiromu!

Robbie runs, uses the chair to launch himself, CANNONBALL! Direct hit and Robbie says, “I’m a replacement, huh?” Robbie knows he filled Bushi’s spot when Bushi exited from NJPW, but he isn’t going to let that label him! Robbie puts Hiromu in the ring, then he stomps Hiromu. Robbie drops an elbow on Hiromu’s arm, then wrings it to stomp it! The fans rally while Hiromu writhes, but Robbie clamps on a chinlock. Hiromu endures the grind, fights up, but Robbie wrangles him to the mat. Hiromu kicks around and finds the ROPEBREAK! Red Shoes counts, Robbie lets go, but then Robbie KICKS Hiromu in the back.

Robbie eggs Hiromu on but Hiromu rises up. Robbie ROCKS Hiromu then eggs him on. Robbie CLAWS Hiromu’s back, but Hiromu CHOPS! And CHOPS! And CHOPS again!

Hiromu brings Robbie up, fireman’s carries, but Robbie fights  it. Hiromu throws Robbie into the dragon sleeper, Robbie spins around, but Hiromu still suplexes. Robbie knees Hiromu, then Robbie suplexes to hang Hiromu out to dry! Robbie then goes to the corner, climbs up, and GUILLOTINE DOUBLE STOMPS! Robbie hobbles his way back to the cover, TWO! The fans cheer as Hiromu stays in this! Robbie hobbles around, shakes out the legs, and goes back for Hiromu.

Robbie drags Hiromu up, reels him in, but Hiromu fights the lift! Hiromu wrenches out but Robbie CHOPS first! Robbie runs in, LARIATS, then puts a leg in ropes! Robbie KICKS the rope, then he SPIN KICKS! STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Hiromu survives and the fans rally up again. Robbie vows to end this, but Hiromu anchors a leg! Robbie stomps Hiromu, stomps him some more, then goes up the corner. The fans rally for Hiromu, and Hiromu rises to CHOP! Hiromu CHOPS Robbie again, then climbs up. Hiromu fireman’s carries, SUPER TIMEBOMB 1.5!! Cover, TWO!!! Robbie survives and the fans fire up!

Hiromu is frustrated but he rises up using the ropes. The fans rally and Hiromu has Robbie again! Fireman’s carry, and CORNER DEATH VALLEY! The fans fire up with Hiromu and he fireman’s carries again! TIMEBOMB- NO, Robbie sunset flips and stacks! TWO!! Robbie runs up, Hiromu BOOTS him, and Hiromu goes up! Robbie PELES and Hiromu falls! Robbie roars, rises, and climbs, X EX- NO, Hiromu dodges! Robbie comes back, but into an OVERHEAD SUPLEX into the corner! The fans fire up while both men are down! Red Shoes checks both men, they’re both able to continue, and the fans rally back up.

Hiromu crawls away and the fans chant for him. Robbie stirs, Hiromu heads back for him, and Hiromu stands Robbie up. Hiromu fires a forearm, Robbie staggers away to ropes, but Robbie comes back. Robbie fires a forearm, but Hiromu fires another. Robbie fires a forearm, Hiromu fires a forearm, and Robbie fires another! Both men wobble, but they rise up, and Hiromu fires a flurry! Robbie drops to his knees, but he flips Hiromu off! Hiromu grins, and he bends that finger! Hiromu CHOPS Robbie, then reels him in for VICTORY- NO, Robbie slips free of the suplex, waistlocks, but Hiromu fights the suplex!

Red Shoes reprimands, Hiromu takes a swing, but Robbie dodges! Handspring, LETHAL INJECTION X!! Robbie says F Hiromu! Another LETHAL INJECTION X!!! And now he goes up the corner! X EXPRESS!!! Cover, ROBBIE WINS!?!

Winner: Robbie X, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Connors earns 0)

So what if he was the underdog? So what if he’s last place? So what if he replaced Bushi in the block? Robbie X just beat the most decorated Super Junior alive today! And that means the winner of A Block is KOSEI FUJITA! Hiromu is furious, but Fujita walks back out here to have the spotlight! Fujita and Hiromu cross paths, and Hiromu pats Fujita on the shoulder as he exits. Fujita goes to the ring, and Robbie invites him in given Robbie won the main event. Robbie tells Fujita to get this in his little brain: Robbie beat Fujita, he beat Hiromu, so… If Fujita wins this whole thing and beats El Desperado, do what is right!

Robbie wants the first championship match with Fujita! The fans like that, and Fujita nods in agreement. Robbie leaves, will Mr. X have his chance at gold? As for Fujita, he grabs the mic to say, “Sorry to those of you who may have wanted to hear more from Robbie X. But if I’m in the position of naming challengers, then I will give him the first title shot.” The fans applaud, and Fujita continues on. “I won this A Block.” The fans applaud that, too, and Fujita says he’ll take “all the hope, hate and then I’ll win. That’s all!” The Japanese Young Punk keeps it short and sweet, but will the Ichiban Sweet Boy become the Best of the Super Juniors?

 

Here are the FINAL A Block standings!

Kosei Fujita: 5-4, 10 points [FINALIST]
Hiromu Takahashi: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
Master Wato: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
Francesco Akira: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
Clark Connors: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
KUSHIDA: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ninja Mack: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Dragon Dia: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Yoshinobu Kanemaru: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie X: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]


My Thoughts:

An awesome start to the ninth round, and it is always fun to have these final playoff scenarios sort out. Mack VS Dia was great, even for not affecting anything, and I really do hope these two guys become the next big thing. I figured Kanemaru would screw Wato over with help from Sho & Yujiro, and this definitely feeds into the tag title story that involves Hiromu. Fujita overcoming Connors and Robbie X getting the upset on Hiromu was all awesome stuff, and I like the gentlemen’s agreement that Robbie will be the lineal contender should Fujita win the title. B Block is going to be awesome, I’m sure, and there are all sorts of great choices for Fujita’s opponent.

My Score: 9.1/10
