PLAY BY PLAY

It’s the Crown Jewel Kickoff Show!

Kayla Braxton, Matt Camp and Peter Rosenberg are in the WWE Command Center to analyze, discuss and predict all the action!

 

Backstage interview with Paul Heyman.

Kevin Patrick spooks Heyman as he exits Roman Reigns’ room. Heyman tells him not to do that and then asks who he even is. Kevin introduces himself and says they’ve met before. But he’s hoping to get a word from Heyman about the monumental Universal Championship and if it will be difficult for him given his dueling loyalties to both Roman and Lesnar. Heyman says he can’t understand a word Kevin said. And also, Kayla surely put Kevin up to this. Heyman will smarten him up: ask an honest question that can get an honest answer out of him. Kevin thanks Heyman for the clarification. Then is it true that last Friday, he went over the title contract with Brock Lesnar?

Heyman sighs. “Before you get fired, which I’m hoping is really, really soon, let me give you an exclusive. Tonight at Crown Jewel, I am going to walk down to the ring with the Reigning, Defending, Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion, Roman Reigns. And I am going to walk back to the locker room with the Reigning, Defending, Undisputed WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion. Thank you very much.” Did Heyman not name that winning champion on purpose? Or is it supposed to be a forgone conclusion of where his loyalties lie?

Backstage interview with Becky Lynch.

Is she in any way worried about momentum given her lose to Sasha Banks last Friday? Becky whips off her sunglasses to glare at Kevin Patrick. She expected more from him, as friends from “the old country.” Kevin finally gets his big moment with her and wants to talk about Sasha cheating? He asks if Becky’s worried about momentum, but he should be asking “Esther.” She was on the run of a lifetime before Becky punched her in the face at SummerSlam. Momentum only means it hurts more when you hit a wall, and Becky’s the wall. But a Triple Threat means you can lose without being part of the decision.

She knows how they work, Kevin! She knows that either challenger can weasel their way to a win, steal the title, and never having to beat her. But if you think she’s going to rob the people of history and let either of those fools win, you aren’t paying attention. It is time for The Man to remind everyone just who the hell she is! But will #BigTimeBecks simply lose big on this historic night?

WWE Universal Championship: Roman Reigns w/ Paul Heyman VS Brock Lesnar!

The Tribal Chief is very familiar with his Special Counsel’s past as The Advocate to The Beast given the battles these two behemoths have had with each other. Heyman promises that he walks down to the ring with the Reigning, Defending, Undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion and that he walks back up the ramp with the Reigning, Defending, Undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion. But then, who will that be after this newest chapter in Reigns VS Lesnar?

Heyman hands the belt to Roman on stage so that he can summon the pyro. Roman gives the belt to Heyman to carry as a banner as they go to the ring. Heyman gives the belt back and Roman raises it for more pyro. Then Lesnar makes his entrance, with his own pyro. The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see which Heyman Guy comes out the guy.

Fans rally for “SUPLEX CITY!” already as Lesnar and Roman circle. They tie up against the ropes, Roman puts Lesnar in the corner then gets away. Lesnar grins as he and Roman reset. They circle, fans fire up and Lesnar kicks low to CLUB away on Roman’s back! Lesnar waistlocks but Roman elbows free! Roman throws haymakers, but Lesnar gets around to waistlock! Roman holds ropes, throws elbows again and is free. Roman throws uppercuts but Lesnar RAMS him into a corner! Lesnar RAMS into Roman again and again! Roman comes back with big forearms! Lesnar gets around but Roman grabs the ropes!

Roman elbows free yet again, but then Lesnar ducks the clothesline to GERMAN SUPLEX! And so it begins! Roman grabs the buckle in the corner but Lesnar pulls and pulls. The ref counts, Lesnar CLUBS Roman, then RAMS into him! And again! And again! Lesnar then stomps Roman down, lets off, and looms over Roman in the corner. Lesnar stomps Roman, brings him up, but Roman hotshots and trips Lesnar up! Lesnar BOOTS Roman into the barriers! But Roman comes back with haymakers, then POSTS Lesnar! Roman catches his breath, the ring count climbs, Lesnar stands and picks Roman up! Roman grabs post so Lesnar throws him into the ring.

Fans rally and duel as Lesnar gets on the apron. Roman runs in to SUPERMAN PUNCH Lesnar down! Lesnar hits the floor, Roman hears the ring count but builds speed to FLY! Direct hit and down goes Lesnar! Fans lose their minds as Roman and Lesnar slowly rise. Lesnar gets in the ring at 5 of 10, but Roman follows. Roman aims as Lesnar stands, SPEAR!! Cover, TWO!! Lesnar survives and Roman is shocked! Fans rally and duel harder as Roman goes to a corner. Roman locks ‘n’ loads, SUPERMAN PUNCH! Lesnar flounders, Roman reloads and SUPERMAN PUNCH! Lesnar falls in the corner but still gets up! Lesnar shakes out the cobwebs, Roman aims again, “OOAH~!”

Roman run but Lesnar hurdles and Roman POSTS himself!! Fans say, “This is Awesome!” as Lesnar gets up and get a GERMAN SUPLEX! That’s two! He gets Roman for another GERMAN SUPLEX! That’s three! Lesnar wants Roman to get up again, and he roars! GERMAN SUPLEX! That’s four! Lesnar roars more and fans roar with him. Lesnar stands Roman up again, fireman’s carries and F5!! Cover, TWO!?!? Roman survives and no one can believe it! Fans are thunderous as they duel and Lesnar stalks Roman. Roman sputters, Lesnar drags Roman up, and fireman’s carries to F- NO! GUILLOTINE!! Lesnar powers up but Roman holds tight, Lesnar still SPINEBUSTERS!

Lesnar drags Roman up, fireman’s carries again, and F5, but into the ref!! Lesnar covers but no ref! Lesnar would’ve won by now but it doesn’t matter! Lesnar throws the ref out of the ring but he turns around into a SPEAR!! Both men are down, there’s no ref, and Heyman watches both men. Heyman throws the title belt into the ring and shouts, “You know what to do with it!” But who did he say that to? He threw the belt in the middle, was that by accident? The two tug-o-war over the belt, but here come the Usos! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS!! Maybe that was the plan? Roman gets the belt to CLOBBER Lesnar! A new ref appears and counts the cover, Roman wins!!

Winner: Roman Reigns, by pinfall (still WWE Universal Champion)

Was Heyman using the belt as a distraction just so Lesnar would lose focus? He still leaves with the Reigning, Defending, Undisputed Universal Champion, but was it the one he was expecting?


My Thoughts:

Honestly, this was a great night for the WWE. Now, obviously Goldberg VS Lashley had just a clumsy story build to this point, but even that was a decent match given they also added Falls Count Anywhere outta nowhere. And a Spear off the stage was a good finish either way. Goldberg won and he wasn’t a liability, that’s the most fans can ask for. One thing WWE is figuring out is that even kickoff matches can be fun, which Usos VS Hurt Business was. Naturally, Usos win, there’s not really a reason for a team going to Raw to win over the SmackDown Tag Team Champions. Kicking off the main show with HIAC was awesome, a lot of great story and references back to previous matches, and Edge winning was a natural choice. I’m still just confused as to why they both get drafted to the same show.

Mansoor VS Ali was really good and of course Mansoor wins in Saudi Arabia. But for one, I do like that Ali attacked after, this feud could and should continue on SmackDown. Also a nice moment for Saudi Arabia having their other hometown hero in Hamdi having a part to play on the show. RKBRO VS Styles & Omos was good and I figured RKBRO would win. It’s time for them to move on from Styles & Omos, maybe to Hurt Business since we never saw Lashley get his title shot because of MVP’s injury. Then, the Queen’s Crown finals barely did any better than the other rounds, three paragraphs is the longest match that tournament has had. It’s still great for Vega to win because she hasn’t had much of anything, but I’m sure she and Piper could’ve given way more than what we got.

Meanwhile, Balor VS Woods was great stuff, and it is so great for Woods to win. He was talking about KOTR since last year, he is essentially the onscreen reason this tournament even came back, it is only right that he won. Woods will bring the crown to SmackDown, I can’t wait to see how King Xavier does things on Fridays. Big E VS McIntyre was great stuff, too, the false finishes really upped this one. With McIntyre leaving to SmackDown, of course Big E wins to keep this title on Raw. Again, I would’ve liked if McIntyre stayed on Raw to go for the US title and his Grand Slam, but maybe McIntyre is next for Roman. Big E could face just about anyone on Raw, who knows where they go with it.

The SmackDown Women’s Triple Threat was great stuff, the fans really love all three women, and they all got to give us great stuff. Each woman got really close to winning this, but given Charlotte Flair is bringing the Raw Women’s title to SmackDown, it only makes sense someone going to Raw brings the SmackDown title. With Bianca just losing to Charlotte, I suppose it makes sense Becky retains. We’re going to get a boring trade but again, I suppose Becky deserves to reign to make up for her time away. Maybe there’s something more or better planned, but more than likely not.

The Universal Championship story was really great stuff, especially considering Heyman’s part to play in this. Heyman was perfectly vague in his promos, implying his loyalty is to the championship, not the person holding it. He did a great job with that throw so that it was right between the two guys, while his facial expressions did make it seem like he expected things to go Lesnar’s way. I’m sure the next step is Heyman and The Bloodline trying to get past the suspicions and refocusing on other challengers. Survivor Series is next, so that is brand VS brand, they probably pick on The New Day on the road to Big E VS Roman. But again, McIntyre could try and take the title so he can have a rematch with Big E.

My Score: 8.7/10

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!

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!

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!

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?

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!

Khan then SLAMS railing down on Yuya, and then SMACKS railing with railing! Khan talks trash while Taka and Taichi coach Yuya up.

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

PLAY BY PLAY

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 Kyle O’Reilly.

Arkady Aura is with #CombatKyle and brings up his impressive showing in Dynamite’s Casino Gauntlet this past Wednesday. But we all want to know, what is next for her? Well, on Saturday, May 11th, AEW is coming to his hometown! Collision in Vancouver, British Columbia! The Rogers Arena, the same building an 11-year-old Kyle saw his first wrestling show ever. And at that show, Kyle told his dad that he was gonna do this one day. Papa O’Reilly said, “Oh yeah, sure you will, kid.” But somehow, Kyle pulled it off. 25 years later, he’s coming back home to do the one thing he’s ever been good at and that’s wrestling.

Kyle is going to take on the best wrestlers this world has to offer, right here in AEW, where the best wrestle. Kyle is ready for a fight, who will take him up on that in two weeks?

Rosa goes up and up to leap, but Deonna blocks the rana and has a BOSTON CRAB! They’re in the ropes, the ref counts, and Deonna lets go.

Deonna stands, Rosa CHOPS her against the post! And CHOPS her again! Deonna ducks, Rosa chops post! Deonna SUPERKICKS Rosa down, and Rampage goes picture in picture.

Deonna waistlocks, Rosa victory rolls and STOMP 182! The fans rally up again and Rosa covers, TWO! Deonna stays in this but Rosa stays on her. Rosa drags Deonna to a drop zone, goes to a corner and climbs. But Deonna rises and catches the leap! FUJIWARA ARMBAR!! Rosa endures, reaches out, pushes Deonna over to get a REAR NAKED CHOKE!! Deonna is in the body scissors but she fights around!

Deonna rises, to BACKPACK SENTON! Deonna is free, the fans fire up, and Deonna brings Rosa back up. Deonna SLAPS Rosa, then reels her in! Gotch Hold, but Rosa jackknife bridges! TWO, Deonna sunset flips, TWO! Prawn hold, TWO! FUJIWARA!! Rosa rolls it to a cradle, ROSA WINS!!

Winner: Thunder Rosa, by pinfall

Deonna thought she had the perfect formula but Rosa says she just beat her at wrestling! But then Deonna CLOBBERS Rosa at the ramp! The fans boo but Deonna drags Rosa up to RAM her into the bleachers! Rosa slumps down, but Deonna digs her boot in! Deonna SLAPS Rosa around, tells the ref to shut up, and she SLAPS Rosa more! So Rosa SLAPS back! They brawl on stage and then out to the ledge of the upper level! The fans fire up as they keep going! Security rushes in, the fans boo, but Deonna flips Rosa off! It seems nothing was settled here, will these two look to go Double or Nothing?

 

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?

 

“Big Bill” Morrissey VS Trevor Blackwell!

The human skyscraper says he wants to sit under the Learning Tree, but Chris Jericho’s gonna need a bigger tree if he’s to give guidance to Big Bill. Will Bill prove he is worthy of The Wizard’s sage advice?

The moment Bill is in the ring, he SPLASHES Trevor right in the corner! The bell rings, Bill runs to BOOT Trevor down! Trevor flounders around, Bill runs corner to corner and SPLASHES again! Trevor flops around, Bill wants Jericho to watch this. Bill said he’d show Jericho he is worthy, and we do see Jericho watching backstage, holding the FTW Championship on his shoulder and oddly still wearing a #LionHook shirt… Jericho nods as Bill CLUBS Trevor on the back! Bill then tells Jericho to watch him! Scoop and BIG BOSS SLAM!! Cover, but Bill lets off! Bill wags his finger, he wants Jericho to see more.

Bill brings Trevor up, reels him in, and short arm LARIATS! Cover, but again Bill lets off! Bill is having too much fun at poor Trevor’s expect. Bill says Jericho’s gonna wanna teach him. Bill hoists Trevor up for the SKYSCRAPER CHOKE SLAM!! One foot cover, a very Jericho move, and Bill wins!

Winner: “Big Bill” Morrissey, by pinfall

Trev might want to change his last name to Well-done, because he got roasted. Bill wants Jericho’s guidance, does he even need it when he can do all this?

Katsuyori Shibata & Daniel Garcia VS Shane Taylor Promotions!

The Wrestler said during Collision earlier tonight that he was going to take on Shane Taylor Promotions by himself if he had to, but then the Dragonslayer offered his help. Now they’re both going to take on #TAIGASTYLE and Big Bad Shaney T. himself! Garcia wears basic trunks and boots to match Shibata, will The Wrestlers win out? Or will STP rumble, bad man, rumble?

The moment all four men are in the ring, Shibata CLOBBERS Lee Moriarty and then he and Garcia both go after Shane! The fans fire up as they stomp and kick Shane right out of the ring!

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
