PLAY BY PLAY
Drew McIntyre heads to the ring!
The Scottish Warrior has his claymore, Angela, as always as he walks down the ramp. San Francisco is fired up for the former WWE World Champion as he sheaths the sword and gets the mic. “Now it seems appropriate the the Scottish Warrior is kicking things off in the home of the Warriors.” And since he won’t get to do this for some time, he gives us an introduction to Monday Night Raw! We all know Crown Jewel is coming, the thrones are on the stage, there’s Roman VS Lesnar and a No Holds Barred in Goldberg VS Lashley, and then the match everyone will be talking about, McIntyre VS Big E. And why will they talk about it? Because McIntyre will once again become champion!
McIntyre tells Big E that he has waited months for this last opportunity at the title, and he won’t let it slip through his fingers. McIntyre has a story from earlier today, but Big E’s entrance cuts it off! Big E goes to the ring and San Fran is fired up again as he gets himself a mic. Big E tells Drew that he gets it. He understands why McIntyre wants to be WWE Champion so badly. Big E has tasted the spoils and oh are they sweet. So sweet that he lets the juices of that nectar drip down his chin to his neck and “betwixt my nipples.” Drew is a specimen! Incredibly accomplished! But he will never take the title from Big E.
Big E tells Drew’s train has left the station and he has two options. He can either jump onboard, “or your big sword wielding ass can stay on those railroad tracks and get run smooth over.” McIntyre says Big E talks about the spoils, the nectar, his nipples… That rush he feels every night, how he felt when he won the title and the fans went nuts, even when he walked out here just now! Remember that feeling? Feels damn good, doesn’t it. McIntyre is a two-time WWE Champion, of course Big E’s on cloud nine. McIntyre held the title for 300 days and yet, he still doesn’t know that great feeling.
McIntyre is damn proud of his time as champion, he led the WWE through uncertain times and loved every minute but he is still chasing his moment. That moment will be Crown Jewel. And just like McIntyre defeated Lesnar, Orton and Goldberg, he will run through Big E and win back HIS title, and there’s not a damn thing Big E can do about it! Big e and McIntyre talk trash without the mics, but here come the Usos?! Jimmy & Jey are still on SmackDown and are still SmackDown Tag Team Champions, but they want to watch this. Jimmy is pumped for this match! Who’s Jey got? Jey is rolling with Big E! Jimmy isn’t sure. If Drew Mac hits the Claymore, it might be a rap.
McIntyre asks, “Why the hell are you two even here?” They’re doing what they want cuz they roll with the Tribal Chief, the Head of the Table, Uce! The Bloodline got drafted to SmackDown, but they are now in your city! So tonight, there are warning shots! Check it, Uce. They and they mama knows that Roman beats Lesnar at Crown Jewel, 100! But what’s going on here is, who (Who who who) is gonna be WWE World Champion. Is it Big E? Or is it Drew McIntyre? Jey tells McIntyre to be careful, or else he’ll end up in the crosshairs of the Tribal Chief on SmackDown. He might add the world title to the trophy case.
As for Big E, the Usos already have plans for his bois, Kofi & Woods, once they’re on SmackDown. So if at Crown Jewel, Big E wins, it’s him and Roman at Survivor Series. And if that’s the case, Tribal Chief already said, he’s got the same death wish as the NEW~ DAY~ are facing. #WeTheOnes, Uce. Read the shirts. But Big E says no no no no. These two can’t come out bumping their gums and just walk away. Big E is sure he speaks on behalf of Drew- No, Big E cannot speak on behalf of Drew. Well damn, they’ll speak on behalf of the Tribal Chief. McIntyre & Big E VS The Usos, tonight! Big E and McIntyre both accept the challenge, but then they get jumped! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS!
Fans are fired up as the Usos leave Big E and McIntyre in the ring! The Scottish Warrior and Powerhouse of Positivity get up, both angry at the Usos but angry at each other. If they’re to have their match tonight, can champion and challenger get along long enough to win?
Backstage interview with the New Day.
Kevin Patrick asks how they feel about both having matches in the King of the Ring Tournament, and how they could end up facing each other in the semifinals. Kofi and Woods just laugh it off and the music hits. They say bye and we will see how the answer unfolds!
King of the Ring Opening Round: Xavier Woods VS Ricochet!
Woods looks longingly at the throne and crown, but he has to take out the King of Flight first! Will Woods ground the One and Only? Or will his dream of being crowned end already?
Raw returns as Ricochet makes his entrance. The bell rings, the two fist bump then circle. They tie up, Ricochet waistlocks but Woods wants after an arm, only for Ricochet to get away. They reset, tie up, and now Ricochet wrenches the arm. Ricochet YANKS the arm, wristlocks, but Woods spins and wrenches back. Ricochet handsprings, wrenches, but Woods rolls and handsprings to wrench and whip. Ricochet reverses, Woods runs him over! Cover, ONE, but Woods clamps onto the arm. Woods throws elbows into the shoulder, then wrenches to a back suplex. Ricochet lands on his feet, waistlocks, but Woods switches.
Ricochet fights the lift, switches back but Woods elbows. Woods runs, but into a dropkick! Cover, ONE! Ricochet facelocks and then CLUBS Woods down. Ricochet KICKS Woods around, but Woods ROCKS Ricochet with a forearm! Ricochet comes back to ROCK Woods, KICK away on a leg, but Woods block the kick to forearm and CHOP! Ricochet snarls and comes back but is put on the apron. Ricochet shoulders in, slingshots but Woods disrupts that by hitting the arms! Ricochet crashes to the apron, Woods goes up the corner but Ricochet CHOPS! And CHOPS! Ricochet climbs up and brings Woods around. Woods fights the superplex to CLUB away on Ricochet!
Ricochet drops to the apron, but he springboards back up to the top! SUPERPLEX! Both men are down and fans fire up as Raw goes to break!
Raw returns and Ricochet whips Woods to ropes to then CLOBBER him with a back elbow! Cover, TWO! Ricochet keeps his cool and Woods sits up. Ricochet KICKS Woods in the back, taunts him, then brings him up for a EuroUpper. Ricochet snapmares and basement dropkicks! Cover, TWO! Woods gets to ropes while Ricochet keeps his cool. Ricochet stalks Woods, throws haymakers, but Woods blocks the suplex. Woods turns things around to hang Ricochet out to dry! Woods goes up the corner to DOUBLE STOMP Ricochet down! Woods hurries back up top and fans fire up for the SECOND ROPE LEG DROP! Cover, TWO!
Woods grits his teeth and drags Ricochet up by his wrists. Woods uses that to dead lift into a suplex, for a GUT BUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives and Woods is frustrated! Fans fire up and Woods aims as Ricochet rises, Ricochet ducks the knee to ROUNDHOUSE Woods down! Ricochet catches his breath, to roll into the facelock and fireman’s carry! ROLLING DEATH VALLEY, to a PENALTY KICK! Woods crawls to the apron for safety, but Ricochet goes to the corner. Ricochet grins and runs to FLY over the corner! Direct hit and down goes Woods! Ricochet hurries to get back in and keep the count fresh, to then DIVE! Direct hit and Woods goes into barriers!
Ricochet just keeps moving, he’s feeling it here and he DIVES into a SLAM! Woods deflects the tope into the floor and Woods gets Ricochet into the ring! Woods pushes Ricochet around, goes to a corner and he tightrope walks, LIMIT BREAKER!! Cover, Woods wins!
Winner: Xavier Woods, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
The semifinals will have the power of positivity, but will it be overflowing with it? Will Kofi or Jinder meet Woods in the next round?
RKBRO talk backstage.
Matt Riddle has news that is sure to blow Randy Orton’s mind. Someone challenged Omos to a 1v1 match tonight. Here’s some hints as to who it is. One: he has a sweet head of lettuce. Two: he loves Lunchables. Did Riddle challenge Omos? After the plan went so well last week, Riddle had to follow in Orton’s footsteps like a baby viper. Riddle looks up to Orton like this cool uncle. But with all this momentum going into Crown Jewel, what’s the plan? Riddle wants to know how they’re gonna get the better of AJ Styles & Omos this week. Riddle remembers in history class, learning about this guy named Jack who led a trail of beans to trap a giant!
Riddle, there is no plan and there was no plan. That was a one time thing last week. And in no way should Riddle have challenged Omos. “Bro, you’re on your own.” Wait… “No plan,” just like how they’re “not” getting matching snakeskin speedos! No, shouldn’t have brought that up. See you out there later, Randy! Is the Viper gonna have to bail the Stallion out of being thrown off the mountain known as Omos?
Mansoor & Mustafa Ali VS The Hurt Business!
The Star of Saudi Arabia and The Beacon are still working on this tag team thing, but they’re going against the newly reunited Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin. Have PRIMED Alexander and the Gold Standard patched things up from their time as enemies? Or can Mansoor & Mustafa take advantage of any leftover dysfunction?
Raw returns and The Hurt Business is already in the ring. Benjamin starts with Ali, and Benjamin sucker punches Mansoor! Ali rushes in to dropkick Benjamin then fire off hands. Ali whips, Benjamin reverses and then pops Ali up for a FLAPJACK! Tag to Alexander, he brings Ali around and back suplexes. Ali lands on his feet, slides under Alexander and tags Mansoor in! Mansoor CLOBBERS Alexander, whips and atomic drops to a BOOT and ENZIGURI! Alexander wobbles, Mansoor runs to clothesline him in the corner. Tag to Ali, he climbs up, DOUBLE STOMP BACK SUPLEX! Ali dropkicks Benjamin down then Mansoor DIVES out to hit him down!
Ali goes up while Alexander is still down, 450 but he has to roll through! He turns around, into a scoop MICHINOKU! Cover, Benjamin keeps Mansoor out, the Hurt Business wins!
Winners: The Hurt Business, by pinfall
No dysfunction at all between Alexander & Benjamin! Mansoor goes to Ali’s aid but then Ali shoves him down! Ali is getting sick of this, and he storms off. Is their own dysfunctional duo already done?
Queen’s Crown Opening Round: Shayna Baszler VS Dana Brooke!
The Queen of Spades has been getting the upper hand and breaking the arms of her opponents, but the Flex Appeal was one woman spared thanks to the courage of “Doudrop” Piper Niven. Will Shayna simply finish what she started while heading for the crown?
Raw returns, Dana is already in the ring, and the match begins. Dana rushes Shayna but Shayna sends her into buckles. Shayna fires off hands, body shots, but lets off as the ref counts. Shayna runs in but Dana dodges the knee! Dana goes to buckle bump but Shayna blocks that and elbows her away. Shayna whips but Dana reverses and fires off on Shayna now! The ref counts, Dana lets off and then bumps Shayna off buckles. Fans fire up as Dana goes corner to corner, but handsprings into a KIRAFUDA KLUTCH! Dana drops down, victory rolls, TWO! Dana tries an Oklahoma Roll, TWO! Dana gets the arm, but Shayna trips her and rolls to an ANKLE LOCK!
Dana endures, rolls and sends Shayna into ropes! Roll up, but Shayna rolls through to KNEE Dana down! Cover, Shayna wins!
Winner: Shayna Baszler, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
And just like that, Shayna’s ready for the semifinals! But she wants to go after Dana more! Dana gets away and the ref reprimands Shayna. Will Shayna continues to do what she wants, all the way to being crowned queen?
Charlotte Flair is backstage.
“Who cares about Shayna Baszler?” And whatever happened between Bianca Belair, Sasha Banks and Becky Lynch doesn’t interest her, either. They can rip each other apart at Crown Jewel but Charlotte only cares about herself. Those three are already beneath her as the most decorated female in sports entertainment history, and is already wrestling royalty. Bianca is fiery, but she doesn’t have the killer instinct to go for the throat. Becky talks the talks but never walks the walk. She just likes riding other people’s momentum.
As for Sasha, how many times as Charlotte beaten her? Charlotte actually hopes Sasha wins the title so that Charlotte can slap that stupid smirk off her face and then become a DOUBLE CHAMPION! The UNDENIABLE champion, melding the titles together! Will Charlotte have no choice but to care when she’s in the ring with the EST, The Man and The Boss?
Matt Riddle VS Omos w/ AJ Styles!
The Bro may have just stepped in it this time. The Viper is staying in the back, will this be a major step backwards on the road to the coming Raw Tag Team Championship match?
Raw returns and AJ Styles makes his entrance to lead the way for Omos. Riddle gets a mic to tell Omos, “Whoa, man! Before we get started, Omos, there’s a couple of things I want to say.” Riddle’s been doing a lot of thinking. He thinks all the time. Remember #Brogurt? And surely Omos knows about #Brotein, look how swole he is! Way more than Skipper Styles! Riddle claims he forgot what he was talking about, but clearly he’s stalling. RANDY, NOW! Nothing. Classic Randy, he’s just super busy and waiting for a secret code word. Riddle starts singing Voices, but then tries, “pissed off!”
Styles gets the mic and says this is ridiculous. Riddle is stalling, everyone sees it. Even San Francisco, and they’re not even that smart! Riddle is having his head removed from his shoulders, it’s happening! Let’s ring the bell and get this over with! Riddle starts a “Randy! Randy!” chant but Styles hops off the apron. The bell rings and Riddle dodges Omos to then go after Styles! Omos drags Riddle up by his hair then TOSSES him into the ring! Omos sees Riddle go to a corner, he runs in and SPLASHES! Riddle flounders around, manages to stand up leaning against Omos, but Omos grabs him in a choke grip, for a CHOKE SLAM!
Omos uses one foot to cover but Styles wants this to keep going! They can legally beat the crap out of him for as long as they want, so here’s what they’ll do. Remember that karate lesson from third grade? Styles wants to see Omos roundhouse, so Omos waits. Riddle gets up, ROUNDHOUSE!! Styles wants to see that on instant replay! The titantron has it and Styles loves it as much the second time. What’s even better than that? Riddle isn’t getting up so why not watch it in SLOW MOTION! Fans want Randy but Styles tells them to shut up. Instant replay in slow-mo is just as good for Styles as the first time. Now, time to get rid of Riddle with the TWO HAND SLAM!! Cover, Omos wins!
Winner: Omos, by pinfall
Styles says Omos is done with Riddle, but Styles isn’t! Styles drags Riddle up, reels him in, but here comes Orton! But not from the ramp side! Styles turns around but wait, no crowd side, either? Styles tells Omos they should be ready for that anyway and he sends Omos out. Omos and Styles dare Orton to show himself from somewhere, but Orton slithers up from under the ring! Orton gets in and RKO’s Styles down! Then he gets Riddle out of the ring and RKBRO again get the drop on the Phenomenal One and the Mountain of a Man! But will they be dropped as soon as Omos gets at them in the title match?
McIntyre confronts Big E backstage.
Clearly he’s still upset about how things went with the Usos earlier, but Big E says the two of them will beat the brakes off each other at Crown Jewel. But if they don’t figure this thing out tonight, it’ll be a long night. The Usos are SEVEN time tag champs for a reason. So for tonight, let bygones be bygones. McIntyre says those are good points, and the Usos are here with Roman’s permission since they don’t even get to wipe their asses without it. So then the Head of the Table is scared of the both of them. As he should be! Plus, beating the Usos would be a good win for them. Yeah, and Big E did see McIntyre’s dimples talking about nectar and nipples. Freaky boy.
But that said, the two shake hands a la the Mega Powers. Will they get to savagely hulk out on both Jimmy & Jey? Or will they still be put in the Uso Penitentiary?
Bobby Lashley is here!
The Rocky Mountain Machine is dressed to impress, but what does he have to say about his coming Crown Jewel grudge match? We find out, after the break.
Raw returns and Lashley has the mic. “Unbelievable. A lot of people ask me why I decided to challenge Goldberg to a No Holds Barred match.” But before answering that, did anyone see Goldberg stand in this ring and talk about ending Lashley’s life? Goldberg said verbatim, “I’m not only next, but that No Holds Barred match gives him license to kill and that I’m dead!” That is not befitting of a WWE superstar, of a WWE Hall of Famer, and not befitting of a father. Who do you have here? Someone standing in front of you, dressed like a million bucks and who defend his WWE Championship the entire year? Or do you have that man who came with cut off sleeves, foaming at the mouth and screaming about murder?
Fans start up a “GOLD~ BERG!” chant, and Lashley sarcastically says that is classy. But that is why he challenged Goldberg to No Holds Barred. Lashley can’t go into a match, a fight, with a man screaming and frothing at the mouth like a rabid animal. “The icon of Goldberg has been reduced to a rabid dog!” And though Goldberg has a strong bite, that dog needs to be put down. At Crown Jewel, with no rules in No Holds Barred, Lashley will finally end Goldberg’s career! No longer will Goldberg be running into Raw, prancing in here and beat someone up, then ride off into the sunset. No, not again. Lashley says that there will be no misunderstandings.
Fans keep up the “GOLD~BERG!” chants but Lashley tells Goldberg that he can’t beat The All Mighty. You can’t hurt the All Mighty! Goldberg damn sure can’t KILL the All Mighty! The wrath of All Mighty Lashley is set to collide with the rage of Goldberg, with either man even survive?
Sasha Banks speaks.
“Ever since Charlotte’s been drafted to SmackDown, her entitlement really has her feeling like she’s in charge. When in reality, the woman who holds the SmackDown Women’s Championship calls the shots.” Right now, The Man is clutching to the title for dear life. Tonight, Sasha is supposed to trust the woman who lost said title in less than 30 seconds in Bianca Belair. Bianca needs to sit back and follow The Boss’ lead. Sasha is the standard, the blueprint, and none of them compare. Tonight, after Becky and Charlotte implode, Sasha will beat them. Then in 10 days, in that Triple Threat, Sasha will beat Bianca & Becky to become the NEW SmackDown Women’s Champion. The Boss is all smiles, but will tonight be anything but #LEGIT?
Jeff Hardy VS Austin Theory!
It’s no mystery here, the Charismatic Enigma wants payback on The Way’s prodigal son! Will Hardy get extreme #AllDay? Or will Theory take flight using Hardy as his launching pad?
Raw returns and Theory makes his entrance. The bell rings, Hardy doges Theory then fires off hands. Hardy bumps Theory off buckles, Theory elbows back then throws forearms. Fans rally for Hardy as Theory whips him to a corner., Hardy elbows Theory down, hops up and leaps for ax handles! Theory staggers into a kick but denies the Twist! Standing switch but Theory bucks the O’Conner to slingshot, somersault and SHOTGUN dropkick! Cover, TWO! Theory clamps onto Hardy with an armlock, but wait, is that Reggie? He’s being chased by Team Maverick! Reggie LEAPS over Theory, the others get in the ring but Reggie dodges Gulak, sending Gulak tumbling!
Reggie plays cat ‘n’ mouse with Akira Tozawa, and then goes out of the ring and into the crowd! R-Truth is last but Theory has him stop. “Do you know who I am?” Truth dodges theory to go out after Reggie, Hardy gets Theory for an atomic drop! Leg splitting leg drop! TWIST OF FATE! Hardy goes up top, fans fire up, SWANTON BOMB! But it FLOPS as Theory moves! Roll up with tights, Theory wins!
Winner: Austin Theory, by pinfall
Just as it seemed the 24/7 Championship chase turned things in Hardy’s favor, Theory turned it right back around! Will Theory use this wild momentum to climb higher and faster on Raw?
Bianca Belair speaks.
“I know we come from different backgrounds, but Charlotte Flair and I clearly have a different idea of what it takes to be a winner. In my life, I was fortunate enough to win with strength, with character, with heart. Charlotte Flair, she thinks that being ruthless is what it takes to be a winner, but for her, that usually just means cheating.” The EST doesn’t have to cheat and she’ll prove that when she takes the SmackDown Women’s Championship at Crown Jewel. And Sasha wants Bianca to follow her lead? Bianca doesn’t ever remember Sasha being the fastEST, but she does remember Sasha losing at WrestleMania.
And Bianca will never forget what Becky did to her at SummerSlam. But it’ll only take 30 seconds for Bianca to send Becky back to being #BeckyNOBelts. Friday, there were no issues with dropping them both through the table. A double pin could be in the future. Or maybe that’s for tonight. This is Raw, and Bianca goes here now. The EST is certainly the readiEST, but will she be able to keep things together with Sasha long enough to win?
King of the Ring Opening Round: Kofi Kingston VS Jinder Mahal w/ Veer & Shanky!
We know Woods is waiting, but will the semifinals be a battle of ya bois, the NEW~ DAY? Or will the Modern Day Maharaja’s boys make sure he is headed for the throne?
Raw returns as Woods hypes Kofi up. Kevin Patrick returns to ask how they’d feel about facing each other next week. Who would win? Who who who who? The music hits again and it’s time to do work! Kofi makes his entrance, Woods staying ringside to counteract Veer & Shanky. The bell rings, Kofi and Mahal circle. They tie up, Mahal waistlocks, SLAMS Kofi down, then gloats. Kofi gets up, he and Mahal tie up, and Mahal headlocks to a takeover. Kofi fights back up, fans rally and Kofi powers out. Mahal runs Kofi with a shoulder and he grins as things speed up. Kofi hurdles, Mahal fakes out the second then runs Kofi over again!
Mahal soaks up the heat then brings Kofi up to put him in a corner. Mahal ROCKS Kofi with a forearm, throws body shots, then stomps a mudhole! The ref counts, Mahal lets off at 4 and then he whips Kofi corner to corner. Kofi goes up to missile dropkick! Then runs corner to corner to forearm smash! Kofi fires off, whips, but Mahal reverses. Kofi hold ropes to BOOT back, then runs to RANA! Mahal bails out, Kofi aims and slingshots. Mahal dodges so Kofi lands on the apron to PENALTY KICK! Kofi goes up the corner, SUPER TRUST FALL! Fans fire up and Kofi gets in the ring! Veer & Shanky head over to help Mahal while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns again and Mahal has Kofi in a cobra twist. Fans rally as Kofi endures and Kofi works on an escape. Kofi pries at the leg hook, then gets free to SOS! It wasn’t very clean as Mahal was fighting the whole way. Woods and the fans rally up again, “NEW! DAY ROCKS!” as Kofi gets to the ropes. Kofi DOUBLE COHPS, DOUBLE CHOPS then dropkicks! Kofi runs, Mahal dodges the leaping lariat to kick and whip. But Kofi goes up and up to CORSSBODY! TWO!! Woods coaches Kofi but Mahal shoves him away to fireman’s carry. GUT BUSTER DROP! Cover, TWO! Kofi survives but Veer & Shanky cheer Mahal on. Mahal drags Kofi up in the corner to throw knees down low.
Mahal hoists Kofi up top and throws haymakers. Kofi hits back, throws fast hands and a headbutt! Mahal drops down, Kofi adjusts, SPLASH to Mahal’s back! Cover, TWO! Kofi hurries and PENALTY KICKS! Mahal is down, Kofi fires up and the fans join in! NEW~ DAY~ Boom Drop! Kofi goes to a corner, fans fire up as Kofi claps along, but Shanky distracts! Woods LEAPS over to hit him! But Veer CLOBBERS Woods with the Million Dollar Arm! Kofi WRECKS Veer, Mahal ghost pins him! TWO!! Kofi goes to a corner, slips out and swing kicks! Kofi goes up, leaps, but into a KALLAS!! Cover, Mahal wins!
Winner: Jinder Mahal, by pinfall (advances to the next round)
Well, now we don’t have to worry about who wins in Kofi VS Woods, because Mahal is taking that semifinal spot! And he even goes to the throne to sit down and wear the crown! Will Woods avenge his New Day brethren as he fights towards the finals?
Becky Lynch speaks.
“For someone who likes to talk a lot, I don’t have too much more to say. Sasha, Charlotte, Bianca, they all said their little piece about The Man while I was out of earshot. It doesn’t matter, I beat them all.” Becky’s done everything she said she’d do and then raised the bar even higher. There’s a reason she was the longest reigning Raw Women’s Champion: she’s always five steps ahead. Teaming with Charlotte is as repulsive as the smell of piss in a downtown alley, but it doesn’t matter. Becky will lead her team to victory because winning is what she does. Unlike Bianca, who she beat in 26 seconds. Unlike Sasha, who runs home and cries every time she loses.
Well bring on the tears, because The Man walks out of Crown Jewel the same way she walks in: as SmackDown Women’s Champion. All four have shared their thoughts on tonight’s tag match, and that match is NEXT!
Bianca Belair & Sasha Banks VS Becky Lynch & Charlotte Flair!
The Boss heads out first and is feeling herself. But will she and Bianca be able to be the #LegitEST duo once again? Or will they simply fall apart even faster than the frenemies across the ring from them?
Raw returns as Bianca makes her entrance. She and Sasha are already at each other with Bianca parodying Sasha’s pose, but now out comes Raw Women’s Champion and her Infinity Gauntlet robe! And of course, last but not least, the SmackDown Women’s Champion makes her entrance. The teams sort out, more in that Sasha pushes Bianca to the corner, but then Bianca returns the favor. Sasha pushes Bianca aside again as Becky is more than happy to start. Bianca has Sasha move back again, but then Sasha pulls the ponytail! Bianca is getting heated now and she whips Sasha into the corner! Becky attacks them both! Charlotte just goes out, but then Becky is sent into her!
Bianca and Becky brawl, Sasha goes after her, Charlotte comes back and tackles Sasha! Bianca has Becky in a corner, extra refs rush in to stop this! Charlotte stomps Sasha, Becky fires off on Bianca, but Sasha and Bianca turn it around on them! Charlotte throws Sasha into buckles, Bianca RAMS into Becky! Charlotte throws Sasha out, she and Becky work together, BECKSPLODER for Bianca! But then Charlotte BOOTS Becky! There are no allegiances anywhere, and Charlotte rushes to the corner as Becky bails out! Charlotte goes up, but Sasha stops her with haymakers! Becky yanks Charlotte down, they throw hands, and Sasha goes up! Only for Bianca to get her!
Bianca THROWS Sasha onto The Queen and The Man!! Fans fire up for The EST but now management and security rush out to stop this! Fans boo but Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville come out now. Pearce says these four had the opportunity to show the entire world what the greatest women competitors could do and this is what they choose? No! Not tonight! Sonya says these four can get back in the ring for this to restart! But Sasha and Bianca are fighting each other! Then Becky and Charlotte get involved, fighting each other again! Sasha and Bianca get in the ring, they brawl, and Raw goes to break! How is any tag match supposed to happen at this point?!
Raw returns and somehow, the teams have sorted out. Sasha and Charlotte start and the bell rings. The two slowly circle then tie up. Charlotte waistlocks, they go around, Sasha resists the lift to switch. Charlotte elbows out hard, then drags Sasha by a leg. Sasha turns Figure Four into O’Conner Roll, TWO! Charlotte kips up but Sasha RANAS her away! Sasha then wheelbarrows and victory rolls! ONE, but Sasha blocks the boot to KNEE back! Charlotte comes back to catch Sasha for a BACKBREAKER and SLAM! Charlotte drags Sasha up, bumps her off buckles, then snapmares her down to step on her. Becky tags in and Charlotte seethes, but she lets it be.
Becky runs but Sasha avoids the leg drop! Sasha runs to BASEMENT METEORA! Cover, TWO! Sasha argues the count but she brings Becky up to wrench and YANK the arm. Sasha tags Bianca in with some sauce, but Bianca wrenches Becky. Bianca tags Sasha, Sasha takes the hand-off and wrenches to YANK. Another saucy tag, Bianca hops up to ax handle, but Becky breaks free to fire off hands! Becky gets Bianca in the corner, then sends Sasha in. Bianca dumps Sasha out, brings Becky around and snap suplexes! Roll through to a dead lift and stalling SLAM! Then a running SPLASH! Cover, TWO!
Becky sputters, Charlotte taunts Bianca but Bianca whips Becky. Becky reverses, Bianca goes up and tells The Man to kiss this, but Sasha tags in and dumps Bianca down! Sasha KNEES Becky, rolls her around, BANK STATE- NO, Becky slips out! DISARM- NO, Charlotte tags in! Sasha throws Becky away, Becky CLOBBERS Her, then Charlotte tells Becky to get her ass out. Becky says that’s real cute from Charlie, but then Sasha hits a BACKSTABBER! Becky and Sasha start swinging on each other again! Becky EuroUppers, Sasha blocks a kick to KNEE! Becky blocks backstabber and Bianca throws Sasha down!
Bianca then spins Sasha around for double chicken wings! GlamEST SNAKE EYES! The ref rings the bell, this is getting to be too much again!
No Contest
Becky gives Bianca a BECKSPLODER! And then clamps onto the arm! Bianca resists, powers up to a torture rack, but Becky holds ropes! Sasha hits a BACKSTABBER on Bianca! Becky sobats, but Sasha turns backslide around! Becky fights the backstabber, Sasha fights the urenage! Becky bucks the backstabber to sobat and MANHANDLE SLAM!! Big Time Becks stands tall, making the real statement! But will this be how Crown Jewel goes for The Man? Or will someone take the title away from #BigTimeBecks to change the power dynamic in the women’s division?
The Usos talk with Roman Reigns on the phone.
Jimmy assures “Big Uce” that everything’s on lock. They the ones! Jimmy tells Jey that Roman wants them to complete the mission. Big E and McIntyre are going to be at each other’s throats by the end of the night! Will the Usos make sure no one in Roman’s way stands a chance?
Queen’s Crown Opening Round: “Doudrop” Piper Niven VS Natalya!
The inaugural tournament’s opening round closes with Piper the Viper and the statement maker, bone breaker, title taker! Will Piper trump the Queen of Harts to then go after the Queen of Spades?
Raw returns as Natty makes her entrance. The bell rings, Natty stares at the happy-go-lucky Piper doing her little dance. Natty says Piper needs to take this serious, this is something the Hart family paved the way for. Then she SLAPS Piper across the face! Piper gets serious and ties up with Natty. They go around, Natty fires off in a corner but the ref counts. Natty lets off but then comes back with heavy body shots! Piper shoves her away, Natty headlocks and throws away Piper’s flower hairclip. Piper blocks the takeover, powers up and out of the headlock, then drops. Natty rolls, Piper gets up and Natty CHOPS her! Then SLAPS her!
Natty whips, Piper comes back to run her over! Piper still does her dance then talks some trash to Natty. Piper runs but Natty avoids the back senton!

Piper celebrates, but Shayna looks eager to get after her. Will Piper get to bully the bully? Or will Shayna find a way to break Piper’s bubbly spirit before breaking one of her arms?
John Morrison meditates backstage.
But Rhea Ripley asks him what he’s doing. He looks over to see her and Nikki A.S.H. Isn’t it obvious? He’s tapping into his chi so he can share his innermost thoughts with the world. There is a lot going on. Well that’s great. Everyone should follow their dreams. Rhea has Nikki move on from the Guru of Greatness, and then asks if she understand what he was even talking about. Nope! Will #SuperBrutality worry more about their WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships than chi and tranquility?
Austin Theory snatches a selfie with Big E.
Big E lets that slide, he has bigger fish to fry. Will he and the Scottish Warrior be serving up a juicy L to the Usos?
Backstage interview with Mansoor.
Kevin Patrick asks about what happened with him and Mustafa Ali, but Mansoor says he isn’t sure what’s going on. Ali storms over and shouts, “You still don’t know?!” Then let him explain: Mansoor is nothing more than a giant waste of time! Ali wants Mansoor to listen. Ali wants to show Mansoor how to survive this place, but all Mansoor wants is to dance around and make friends. He doesn’t deserve to be here! Mansoor tells Ali to get it all off his chest. Ali says Mansoor is his ONLY lifeline! The only one watching his back! Without Ali, Mansoor gets eaten alive.
But in a way, this is Ali’s fault. Ali should’ve just said this to Mansoor’s face: “You’re a loser. You’re worthless. You. Are. NOTHING.” And when Mansoor doesn’t react, Ali says, “That’s what I thought.” Ali leaves, only to come back and attack! “You still don’t get it, do you?!” Ali throws Mansoor into road cases! And then rains down rights! He wants Mansoor to listen to him, even as he beats him up! “You are NOTHING!” Ali throws Mansoor down again, and then actually leaves. Has Ali just snuffed out the Star of Saudi Arabia’s light?
Big E & Drew McIntyre VS The Usos!
The WWE World Champion and his challenger agree that their common enemy is The Tribal Chief. Therefore, the SmackDown Tag Team Champions will have to be the next best thing until each man has their turn taking on Roman Reigns. Will the Powerhouse and the Warrior be able to show Roman what he has to look forward to through his cousins? Or will they be welcomed to the Uso Penitentiary?

The Scottish Warrior, a bloody, busted welt over his eyebrow, roars and stands tall! But will he end Big E’s reign at Crown Jewel to begin his third? Or will the Powerhouse of Positivity show him what he can do when he’s angry?
My Thoughts:
A pretty good Raw, but with the same problem as on SmackDown: The Queen’s Crown tournament has been booked in the most disappointing way it could be. Now, in a vacuum, Shayna Baszler should have dominated just as she did tonight. But when it follows up a pair of stupidly short matches on SmackDown, it just feels bad. Piper VS Natty was the longest of the four matches but it was still under 10 minutes. The semifinal matches better be mind-blowing or it’ll just emphasize how Team Vince just doesn’t care about the women’s midcard. The top of the card, aka the titles, got a good showing going into the tag match.
Charlotte, Sasha, Bianca and Becky all delivered good promos, but I would’ve gone in a different direction with the tag match. After it turned into chaos, I would’ve just made it a Fatal 4 Way, maybe even for the Raw Women’s Championship. I know they want Becky going into Crown Jewel with the momentum because with her and Charlotte switching brands while still champions, someone has to lose a belt. Becky VS Sasha for the “Supersized” SmackDown that’s an extra half hour longer will tell a lot about Crown Jewel, but something also needs to happen on next week’s Raw go-home to see how Charlotte loses the Raw Women’s Championship.
Speaking of go-home, tonight had a lot of Go Home Syndrome. Too many commercial breaks on top of recaps and short matches. The Hurt Business is back but Ali and Mansoor are done as a team, can’t Vince just let them all stay? More teams for the tag champions to face, but no. This week’s RKBRO segment was alright, Omos of course wins but Orton still gets the last laugh. Horrible camera direction, though. I basically just assumed he came out from under the ring because we didn’t get even a replay to see Orton appear. I feel like at this point, math would dictate Styles & Omos win, but there is now one more Heel team than Face, so RKBRO has more possibilities with Hurt Business as contenders.
Lashley had a decent promo, not really the smoothest, but he does make a good point: even in pro-wrestling, how is Goldberg getting away with threatening Lashley’s life? Well whatever, the No Holds Barred match is going to be the best way for Lashley to carry Goldberg through that match. Hardy VS Theory was a disappointing match only in that it had the 24/7 Championship division pass through just because. Hardy VS Theory could’ve been a better match if it was just a match, but nope. Maybe Theory’s drive-by selfie with Big E is a tease at what’s coming next.
The King of the Ring matches were very good, with Woods having a great one with Ricochet. Kofi VS Mahal was good, but I suppose it makes more sense for Mahal to win as WWE keeps things as Face VS Heel. I suppose while WWE doesn’t mind separating New Day, they won’t make them fight each other. Pretty sure this means Woods beats Mahal to go to the finals, then. We got great stuff out of McIntyre, Big E and the Usos, and that Mega Powers handshake was a great little bit. Great match out of McIntyre & Big E VS Usos, and that count-out finish was the best move for this, given Big E and McIntyre stand tall over the Usos and then McIntyre stands tall over all. With McIntyre going to SmackDown, it’s pretty clear Big E retains and keeps the world title on Raw.
My Score: 8/10

Zero Hour – Dustin Rhodes, Sammy Guevara & Holo.grm VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
“Smart” Mark stops Arkady Aura from even starting as he introduces his team of Josh Woods, Tony Nese & Ariya Daivari.

Skye Blue is here!
Tony Schiavone welcomes her on stage as she has crutches, her broken ankle still a problem. But Chicago’s own hopes they didn’t think they’d have a night without her, right? This is the very building that three years ago, 2021, Tony Khan put her in the Casino Battle Royal. This means the world to her to be here now. Schniavone brings up the ankle, how is her recovery time table? Skye says she is doing everything she can to get back as fast as she can, but it is just a waiting game. Wait, what? Mariah May is raining on Skye’s moment! The AEW Women’s World Champion smiles as she cozies up to Schiavone, and says she is here to have her championship celebration!
The fans are torn, but Mariah says she isn’t gonna do it in Chicago. Now they all boo. But why is it the Windy City when no one here has ever been blown before? Skye tells Mariah that she knows about blowing, doesn’t she? Oh, Skye. It makes sense, you’re from Chicago! You have so much in common. You’re all broke, filthy, and lower your standards to make it enjoyable. The fans boo, but Skye says, “Thanks, skank.” Mariah says what Skye needs is some Glamour! Look now and never forget, this is your AEW Women’s World Champion, Mariah May! And then she kicks the crutches out and shoves Skye down!
The fans really boo now, because Mariah rains down fists on Skye! Mariah laughs, steps away, and then grabs a crutch! The fans boo but here comes Queen Aminata! Aminata takes a swing, Mariah goes running! Aminata helps Skye sit up, the fans cheer, and clearly Mariah has some karma coming her way. Will Aminata take Mariah’s crown to make it her own?

Darius, Dante & Action Andretti once won a $3,000 Trios Battle Royal, but they haven’t quite reached that golden mountaintop just yet. Could this new high roller match help them make that final push?

Matt drags Bryan up, Nick climbs up a corner! T K DRIVER!!! Matt lets Bryan flop over, and they drag him to center. But here comes The BCC! Claudio & Yuta run The Bucks off into the crowd! The fans cheer as things are fair now, but Jack still has a chance! He wakes the ref up, then takes aim! SACRIFICING KNEE!! Cover, TWO?!? Bryan survives and Jack is beside himself!! Jack drags Bryan around, and he has the wrists! The fans boo as Jack grins, and he DRAGON STOMPS! The fans boo more, but Jack now parodies the Yes Movement with middle fingers! “NO! NO! NO!” Jack runs up, into a BUSAIKU KNEE!!
The fans are thunderous as Bryan hits back! Both men are down, but Bryan is hitting that second gear! Or maybe third by this point! Bryan and Jack slowly crawl over to each other, then go forehead to forehead. Then Jack fires a forearm! So Bryan gives it back! Jack fires another forearm, so Bryan fires another! The forearms keep going, even as both men rise up. The fans again chant, “YES! NO! YES! NO!” Jack ROCKS Bryan, SLAPS him, but that pisses Bryan off! The fans tell Jack he messed up, but Jack SLAPS him again! Bryan is just getting angrier! Jack looks worried, because Bryan is smiling! Bryan dares Jack to do that again.
Jack SLAPS Bryan again and again, but Bryan steps into the shots! Bryan fires SLAPS of his own! And KICK after KICK! But Jack SUPERKICKS! Bryan ROLLING ELBOWS! Jack falls, but Bryan hauls him up, to GERMAN SUPLEX! Jack lands out, runs up, but Bryan dodges! Bryan comes back, BUSAIKU KNEE!! Cover, TWO!?!? Jack survives and Bryan is surprised, then smiling! Bryan rises, the fans thunderous for “A E DUB! A E DUB!” Bryan says it is time to finally kick Jack’s freakin’ head in!! Bryan drags Jack from the ropes, has the wrists, and he DRAGON STOMPS! “YES! YES! YES!”
Bryan lets off, and the fans anticipate what’s next. Bryan gets the fans even louder, for another round of DRAGON STOMPS! “YES! YES! YES! YES YES YES YES!” Bryan aims, Jack stirs, and the Yes Movement continues! Jack slowly rises, faces Bryan, and he dares Bryan to do it! Bryan BUSAIKU KNEES!! Cover, Bryan wins!
Winner: Bryan Danielson, by pinfall (still AEW World Champion)
The Scapegoat fails to slay The American Dragon, but he was defiant ’til the end! Bryan’s reign and in-ring career both continue through another night, but we also know “IT’S THE FINAL COUNTDOWN~!” WAIT! LUCHASAURUS IS HERE! HE HEADBUTTS BRYAN!! The irony of Luchasaurus and Jack Perry being in the ring together again. But we know what this is about, because here comes Christian Cage! Captain Charisma is also the Casino Gauntlet contract winner, and it looks like he’s cashing in! The fans boo, but wait! Jon Moxley stands in Christian’s way!? The Maniac is still BCC, and the fans are thunderous!
Bryan smiles, he knew he could count on his friend when he needed him. Oh, and then the rest of the BCC, and even Pac, are here! The fans cheer as The Patriarchy stands down now. Christian still has his guaranteed shot, he’ll just try again another night. The fans chant “YES! YES! YES!” and The BCC stands tall with Bryan. They hug it out and the fans cheer. Bryan picks up the world title, and The BCC raise his hands. But then Claudio UPPERCUTS Bryan! Bryan falls back, but he’s more shocked than anything! And then Moxley USES A BAG TO CHOKE BRYAN!? Pac keeps Yuta back?! Marina Shafir BLASTS the ref!!!
Moxley chokes Bryan out and Yuta is shouting for him to stop! Bryan rips at the plastic but he’s already so tired from fighting Jack! Pac isn’t letting Yuta go, even as Yuta is near to tears! The fans chant, “This is Murder!” Moxley lets Bryan go, having rendered him unconscious. Claudio tells Yuta to come along, but Yuta goes to Bryan’s side to get that bag off him. Medics get Bryan on the oxygen tank, but Moxley, Marina, Claudio & Pac leave. Bryan is carried out of the ring and to the back. What does this mean for The BCC? What does this mean for the AEW World Trios Champions when Yuta was not in on this betrayal?
Lights Out Steel Cage: Swerve Strickland VS Hangman Page!
Just when you think these two could not have stepped over the line after what they’d already done to each other, they have found new lows to which to stoop. And as such, AEW can no longer be held responsible for what takes place. Hangman set fire to Swerve’s childhood home, but will he now burn Swerve’s career to the ground? Or will Swerve’s House be avenged with Hangman’s blood, sweat and tears?
The introductions are made, the cage is being lowered, and this does not end with escape, only pinfall, submission or knockout! Swerve BOOTS Hangman before any bell, and the cage isn’t even done lowering! The fans fire up as Swerve hammers away on Hangman, then drags him out of the ring! Swerve RAMS Hangman into railing, then into steel steps! The ref wants this in the ring, so Swerve puts Hangman in. But then he holds him on the apron! Prince Nana throws a table into the ring! Swerve CHOKES Hangman, he wants him to face this blunt guillotine! But Hangman turns it around to CHOKE Swerve!
The fans are going nuts as both men realize they’re both in danger! Nana pushes them both in! He’d rather Hangman be safe if it means Swerve is safe, too! But he also got a lot of goodies in there, too. The bell rings, the haymakers fly, and the cage is secured. Swerve whips, Hangman reverses and then scoops! FALL AWAY SLAM! But Swerve kips up!? And he BOOTS Hangman down! “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve storms up on Hangman, and whips him, only for Hangman to stop short! Hangman fires hands on Swerve, the fans duel, but Swerve ROCKS, CHPOS, body shots and more!
Swerve has Hangman in a corner, rains down fists, but Hangman brings Swerve out! Swerve slips free and he stops from being sent into cage! Swerve tries but Hangman blocks! Hangman elbows Swerve away, but Swerve somersaults to COMPLETE SHOT! The fans fire up and Swerve runs up, HOUSE CALL! Hangman flops under the ropes, and Swerve finally takes off his jacket. Nana says this is what Hangman gets for taking someone else’s property! Swerve moves things around, Nana says kill him! But Hangman fights the half nelson to ROLLING ELBOW! And GERMAN SUPLEX!
The fans rally, Swerve goes to a corner, and Hangman sees the crate Nana put in there. Hangman opens it up, and he pulls out a STAPLE GUN! Texas Deathmatch, Blood & Guts, and now All Out. Hangman CLIPS Swerve but Swerve just laughs! Swerve CHOKES Hangman, Hangman CLIPS Swerve again and again! Swerve SMACKS Hangman with the gun, to CLIP CLIP CLIP Hangman over and over! Nana cheers Swerve on, and he hits a BACKBREAKER! Hangman writhes, those staples are digging in more! Speaking of, Swerve pulls the staples in his skin out, not even flinching! The fans tell Swerve he’s sick, but he just smiles.
Swerve takes out pictures from under his belt! The pictures of Swerve’s parents and family. Nana says those are Swerve’s memories that Hangman took! Swerve STAPLES one to Hangman! Swerve mocks Hangman’s pain, laughs, and then tells Hangman this is just the beginning. Another picture, STAPLED to Hangman’s cheek! And a second staple for good measure! Swerve RIPS the picture away! The fans fire up while Swerve stalks Hangman to a corner. Nana taunts Hangman more, and Swerve goes up a corner. Swerve drags Hangman up to the top, but Hangman shoves Swerve down! Hangman adjusts, but Swerve grabs a chair!
Swerve JAMS Hangman with a chair first! Hangman is still up top, Swerve brings him into a fireman’s carry, and he THROWS him into the steel! Hangman writhes, the fans rally up, and Swerve kicks Hangman. Swerve digs his boots in, then lets off long past a five count. “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” keeps going, and Swerve brings Hangman up. Hangman fires body shots but Swerve hits back! They brawl on that tightrope, and Swerve SMACKS Hangman off steel! But then Hangman trips Swerve up! Swerve crotches on the top rope, and Hangman triangle jump LARIATS! Swerve slumps against steel, and Hangman SMACKS him off it!
Hangman dribbles Swerve’s face off steel, then he fetches some barbed wire he snuck out here! Hangman puts it around his arm, and triangle jump BARBED WIRE LARIATS Swerve down! The fans are torn, much like Swerve’s skin with those barbs! Hangman puts the wire away for now, and pushes some of the other goodies aside, so that he can run and THROW Swerve into steel! Swerve sputters, Hangman mockingly asks, “That’s your champion? That’s your man!?” Hangman storms up on Swerve, then THROWS him into steel! Hangman continues to ask the fans how they cheer Swerve after what he’s done!
The fans do duel, and Hangman TOSSES Swerve into more steel! Hangman goes back to his barbed wire, and he laces it into the cage. Hangman goes over to Swerve, brings him up, and sends him at the wire! Swerve stops, comes back, and LARIATS! The fans fire up, both men rise, and Swerve runs up, but Hangman sends him into the wire! Swerve falls back, Hangman tells the ref to back off, but the ref says he needs to see if Swerve is conscious. Nana says back Hangman up, but Hangman kicks at Nana! Hangman sits Swerve up, and he punches away at bloody wounds! Hangman stalks Swerve, drags him up, and DIGS his face into the wire!
The fans are torn, but Hangman lets Swerve go. Hangman watches Swerve crawl, stomps him, then digs his boot in. Hangman lets off, and Swerve’s blood is painting the canvas. Hangman DIGS Swerve into the steel chain links, then he brings Swerve up again. Hangman whips Swerve, BOOTS him down, then soaks up cheers and jeers. Swerve sputters, Hangman loads up on the apron, but the cage won’t let him slingshot! The fans laugh at Hangman, so Hangman just storms in to get Swerve. Swerve ROCKS Hangman again and again! Swerve runs, ROCKS Hangman, then keeps moving! But Hangman FLAPJACKS him into steel!
The fans rally up while Nana grows worried. Nana wants the ref to make sure Swerve is alright. Hangman brings a chair over, and he JAMS Swerve with it! And he SMACKS Swerve with it! Swerve writhes, the fans are still torn, and Hangman tells the ref to let off the chair. The ref says Hangman doesn’t need the chair! Hangman gets in the ref’s face, Swerve hits a HOUSE CALL!! Swerve then uses the ref as a pommel horse, to steal BUCKSHOT!! Hangman and Swerve both fall, and the ref checks them both. Nana coaches Swerve up, and Swerve snarls. Swerve SMACKS Hangman with the chair! And SMACKS him again!
Swerve has a wild look in his eyes, and he winds up to SMACK Hangman again! Hangman collapses in a corner, but Swerve wedges the chair in another. Swerve goes back for Hangman, scoops him, and takes aim! LAWN DART into the chair!! The fans lose their minds from how blunt that impact was. Swerve covers, TWO!! Hangman survives and Swerve is beside himself. Swerve goes to the crate, and he brings out a CINDERBLOCK! Swerve used this to take down The Limitless One once, and now he sets this one down in front of The Cowboy. The fans are all growing a bit worried, but Swerve underhooks Hangman!
Hangman fights the lift! And Alabama Lifts! But Swerve fires body shots! Swerve turns things around, Inverted Gory Especial!! CINDERBLOCK VERTEBREAKER!! The block doesn’t break but maybe Hangman’s back just did! Swerve covers, TWO!?!?! Hangman survives, but the block left a nasty scrape on Hangman’s back. Swerve is disappointed in the block, so he brings in the table! Swerve sets the table up, then brings Hangman over. Swerve puts Hangman in the corner, fans chant “WE WANT FIRE!” Chicago is twisted, but Swerve goes out to climb the corner. Swerve aims, but Hangman hits him first!
Hangman hits Swerve some more, drags him down a bit, then climbs up after him. Hangman dribbles Swerve off the cage’s corner post, and then he scoops! Swerve fights with elbows! Swerve CLUBS Hangman down, throws down more fists, fans chant “PLEASE DON’T DIE!” Swerve KILL STOMPS through the table!!! The fans lose their minds again, and Swerve covers in the wreckage! TWO?!?!?! Nana cannot believe it! How much more does Hangman want to suffer? Swerve aims, and calls for “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” HOUSE- DEADEYE!! Cover, TWO!!! Swerve survives and Hangman scowls.
The fans duel both of these dastardly anti-heroes, and Hangman goes to his jacket. Hangman mockingly asks, “Whose House?” Wait, that charred piece of wood… Is that a piece of the home he burned down?!? And he goes after Swerve with it! Swerve blocks being stabbed by the charcoal spike! Hangman powers Swerve down to the mat, but Swerve pulls him into an ARMBAR!! Hangman flails, kicks, and Swerve grabs the spike! Now Swerve tries to stab Hangman with it!! Hangman turns, has a stack, TWO!! Both men get up, and Hangman swings! Swerve gets around, to JAM the spike into Hangman’s head again and again!!
The fans tell Swerve he is sick, and Swerve sits there for a moment, looking at the charcoal spike. Swerve cries tears, but of anger! He goes after Hangman again, but Hangman LOW BLOWS first!! Hangman then brings Swerve around, lifts him up, and he CINDERBLOCK BOMBS Swerve!!! The block still does not break, but now maybe Swerve’s back just did! The fans lose their minds as Hangman pushes Swerve to a cover, TWO?!?!?!? HOW?!?! Nana himself is now pleading that maybe Swerve should’ve stayed down. Hangman paces around Swerve, he drags Swerve up, and it’s hard to know if fans say “This is Awesome!” or “This is F’d up!”
Hangman has Swerve against ropes, climbs up, and he punches away on Swerve’s bloody forehead. But then Swerve lifts Hangman! CAGE BOMB! Hangman scrapes down the steel, and Swerve reloads. HOUSE CALL against steel! Hangman flounders, Swerve reloads again. Nana says Swerve can take his time, he has this now! Swerve again asks, “Whose House?” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” HOUSE CALL!!! Cover, TWO!?!?!?!?! It’s not even “How,” it’s WHY!?!? Why is Hangman still in this?! Is this his pride or his anger motivating him? Swerve goes up to the top rope, but then he looks up to the cage. So Swerve climbs up the cage!
The fans are going nuts already, but Hangman is after him first! Hangman CLUBS away on Swerve, drags him down a bit, and then gets under him! SUPER DUPER POWERBOMB!!!! Both men are down, but then they both rise up!?! The fans duel as hard as they can, and it is Hangman that stands! He Alabama Lifts, to DEADEYE!! Cover, TWO!?!?!?! Again, how and why!? Is Swerve just as motivated by his rage? Hangman paces around, and he grabs a chair. Hangman says he told Swerve that he would beg, so BEG! Hangman JAMS Swerve in the head!! Hangman tells Swerve to beg for mercy, but Nana says don’t!
Hangman JAMS Swerve again! Swerve laughs!? Hangman is furious, but the fans fire up! Swerve eggs Hangman on! Then he flops over…! Hangman drops his chair, sits Swerve up, and says time to embarrass him! Hangman takes Swerve’s grill away! Then he goes to the black bag, to bring out hypodermic needles!? What is Hangman doing?!? He stabs it through Swerve’s cheek!!!! The fans tell Hangman he is sickest of all, but Hangman has the chair. Swerve is like a zombie, HEADSHOT CHAIRSHOT!!!! The ref checks Swerve, he is OUT!! Hangman wins!
Winner: Hangman Page, by knockout
This went to dark places most people could never imagine, and it is Hangman who stands tall in the end. Hangman soaks up the cheers and jeers from Chicago, but is he finally done with Swerve? Will Swerve ever even be able to wrestle again? Wait, Hangman almost starts stepping back to the ring! But then whatever miniscule shred of mercy is left in him says no, leave it here. Hangman roars, having finally gotten past his past. But then the question is, what is next for The Cowboy?

The Bang Bang Gang speaks.
Juice Robinson says here’s the thing about the AEW Trios Division: You need momentum on your side. You ain’t gonna get the job done with a win here and there. You need to string ’em together, snowball effect. W after W after W! Austin says chill. They all want W’s, but there is something serious to address. Austin still doesn’t have a nickname! They’ve got Fully Cocked Colten Gunn! Rock Hard Juice Robinson! And… What do they have for Austin? Colten thinks on it. But in steps The Cage of Agony. Bishop Kaun says he has an idea: Ass Boy Austin! Oh, clever, clever. No right, here’s one: Runner Up in the Top Prospect Tournament!
Wow, that was a long time ago, Kaun. Not relevant. The Machine says there has to be a better one. Kaun has it now: Nepo Baby. What? Like he’s got a famous mom or something? Kaun says okay, no, this is the best: Former AEW World Trios Champion. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that’s just everyone here right now. Colten says that’s tough talk coming from the team that lost the ROH World Six Man titles to them. Cage says hey, Colten, you might be a “body guy” compared to the rest of this roster, but stepping to The Machine, watch your tone. Shake weights don’t count, Cage. Cage says the only reason Bang Bang Gang won cuz they had six guys at the time!
Nowadays, the three Bang Bang Gang won’t beat The Cage of Agony. Then let’s find out! If you’re not down with that, they have two words for ya! GUNS- Wait! The Cage of Agony block the finger guns! They clap their hands and say, “Gates, OPEN!” Toa Liona roars, Juice roars back, sorta. Will the Collision Cowboys be able to bring down these three behemoths? Or will they be caught inside The Cage of Agony?
BREAKING NEWS!
Lexy Nair says for the Zero Hour, there will be a TRIOS TRIPLE THREAT! Standing by are two of the three teams, Top Flight Crew’s Darius, Dante & Action, and Shane Taylor Promotions with Beast Mortos. But then the third team can be heard coming as Roderick Strong shouts “BEEEEAST!” Roddy thought Mortos was Kingdom! Shane says Mortos followed the money, so can he help them? Matt Taven says Mortos hasn’t learned the value of a dollar! Mike Bennett says Shane can’t help them, but they can help Shane, because surprise, guess who the third team is? Yeah, it’s The Kingdom. And there’s a BIG winner’s purse put on this one.
Not that it’s going to more matching outfits, Top Flight. The Kingdom leaves, Action says check it. In the end, it doesn’t matter whose side The Beast is on, it won’t be the winning side. And Top Flight IS. They will fly home with that guac. CHACHING~! So buckle up. Lee Moriarty has Shane and Mortos calm down. Will #TAIGASTYLE have just the plan to come away with that big money cash prize?
Friday Night Fashion Fight: The MXM Collection VS The House of Black!
It’s hard to say there are any rules outside the norm for this match, other than to dress to impress. Will Mansoor & Mason Madden prove that no matter what, they’re always the best dressed in the locker room? Or will Brody King & Buddy Matthews give them a makeover involving bruises, lacerations and hospital gowns?
Wait, who is this weirdo in the trash bag and oversized wood sandals? Why is he being carried out here? These are the judges for this Fashion Fight?! Well, what do you expect from modern fashion these days? Anyway, the teams sort out, and the Iron Chic starts against the Aussie Juggernaut. The fans bark for the House of Black, and Mansoor dodges Buddy. Mansoor struts, POSES, and calls for a score. Tens across the board! Buddy scowls, waistlocks, Mansoor switches, but Buddy switches. Mansoor switches again, shoves, and POSES! Another score of tens across the board! Feels like they’re a bit biased, though…
Buddy and Mansoor tie up, Mansoor waistlocks, Buddy switches, but Mansoor ELBOWS free! Mansoor runs, sunset flips, but Buddy stays up! Buddy drags Mansoor up, TOSSES him, then blocks a boot! Buddy swings on Mansoor but Mansoor stays in the ropes! The ref counts, Buddy lets off, and the judges give Buddy all threes! Yeah, definitely biased. Mansoor headlocks, Buddy powers out, and they RAM shoulders! Buddy doesn’t budge, and he headlocks for a takeover! Mansoor headscissors, Buddy kips free, then he avoids the sweep. Buddy headlocks, Mansoor powers up and out, but Buddy CLOBBERS him!
Mansoor gets up, Buddy blocks the kick and FLIPS Mansoor! Mansoor scrambles away, asks for a score, and Buddy gets a total of 4! Mansoor says he is still better than Buddy, and he tags Mason in. The Mahogany Hunk calls out the King of Death, and the fans bark it up! Buddy tags Brody, and Mason is all fired up! Brody stares Mason down, but then Mansoor tags in? Mansoor steps up to Brody, says eat this, and CHOPS! But Brody doesn’t budge! The judges still give all tens! But Brody CHOPS Mansoor! Mansoor falls, the judges can’t hep but admit, that was a seven. Mansoor RIPS that seven, and finds the “YOU SUCK” one among them!
But then Mansoor turns around, and Brody CROSSBODIES them all!! That’s a ten, as in, a STRIKE! The fans fire up as Brody holds up the ten! Mason runs up but Buddy FLYING KNEES him down! Mason is in a daze, Buddy holds up the ten, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Brody drags Mansoor up to run and RAM him into railing! Brody CHOPS Mansoor against apron, Buddy says ten! The fans cheer, “TEN! TEN! TEN!” Brody kicks Mansoor into the ring, drags him up, and CHOPS!

MXM go again, but Buddy mores! Mansoor takes the worse of that, and Buddy BLASTS them both off the apron! Mansoor hurries back in, and he CLOBBERS Buddy! Mansoor drags Buddy up, brings him over, and Mason steps in. MXM whips Buddy to the corner, then shake their booties. Rampage returns to single picture, Mansoor runs in, but Buddy BOOTS him down!

Winners: The House of Black, by pinfall
Talk about “Brutal fashion,” this was a victory as beautiful as it was vicious! Brody & Buddy proved #TheHouseAlwaysWins, but will they win their way back to title opportunities?
Will Ospreay speaks.
“I have been asked all day today, ‘How you feelin’, Will? You feelin’ alright?’ I dunno how you feel when you’ve taken a Poison-Rana on the stage and a brainbuster on some stage carts, mate, but yeah, hunky dury. I’m feeling great. I’m feeling great to cut these ties that bind myself to Pac. That’s history, right? See, Pac, everybody might know you as The Bastard right now, or maybe they know you as The Man Gravity Forgot. I know you as a UK backyard wrestler. You see, I could say words to you right now that’d perk your ears up that no one else knows. I could say stuff like Steve Farrow. I could say stuff like NAW.
“Because I’ve walked in your shoes. When I walked into that territory that you left, they’d say, ‘Man, you’re good. You ain’t Pac.’ They said the same thing on the UK independents. They said, ‘You’re good, but you’re not Pac.'” Ospreay made them all eat their words, and then he walked on the bridge Pac built, from England to Japan. Pac paved the way for him and Ospreay is thankful. But when Ospreay walked in there, they also said, “You’re good, but you’re not Pac.” Ospreay has been chasing Pac, and five years ago, Pac was Dragon Gate Dream Gate Champion, and Ospreay was NEVER Openweight Champion, and they didn’t get a decision. It was a 30 minute time limit draw.
You think Ospreay is satisfied with that? Nah, bruv! Ospreay’s still been chasing Pac! And here it is. Without even realizing it, Ospreay has lapped Pac. When Pac hit that rana, and Ospreay heard that crappy northern accent, “Don’t you underestimate me.” You thought Ospreay forgot? Nah, bruv. Ospreay could never forget Pac. Not all the work Pac’s done, not all the history they have. No one has forgotten about Pac. He just has been in this position so many times, we’ve lost faith. Wanna change it? Then there’s 24 hours left, bruv. These two may not have had their Wembley Moment together, but who walks away having won THE moment?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage as part of the go-home night to All Out, though they of course accommodated the bleed over from Collision. Good stuff, already talked about it all for the Collision article, and I also touched on Moxley & Marina jumping The Outrunners with that article, too. It was easy heat for Moxley & Marina beating up on The Outrunners, who just had their big moment, but Moxley touched on not celebrating mediocrity and being humble in victory. Darby Allin will probably respond by saying this is just Moxley being a bully. Anyway, good win for Aminata, and Deeb watching her sets up how they’ll be feuding soon enough.
Good promo of Bang Bang Gang and Cage of Agony, and they’ll have a very good match, probably naming the winners the #1 contenders to the World Trios Championships. More than I can say for Premier Athletes. What business do Nese, Daivari & Woods have watching Dustin & Sammy like they’re gonna get any of the ROH titles off them? Nese, Daivari & Woods lose to all sorts of established names, Dustin, Sammy & The Von Erichs will be no different. But still a really good, really fun Six Man Tag of Dustin, Sammy & Hologram beating Dark Order. Dark Order really is a trio that should’ve been given more, but oh well.
Good promo segment from Kingdom, STP and Top Flight, with another of these kayfabe’d money prize matches happening just because. Like, title opportunities not being won here? I know Roddy is waiting to go after the FTW Championship, but why not have him & The Kingdom try to move up from ROH titles to AEW titles in this match? Though, Top Flight might be right. They won that $3000 trios royale thing a year or so ago, they might win this one so that they keep making money and building their budget for more airline pilot gimmick gear.
And while I was expecting a fashion show themed Street Fight, I suppose judges giving scores was good enough of a gag for this match. The fashion themed Street Fight would’ve probably been better, though. But the House of Black would’ve won out anyway, so best to do it in a standard rules match. And then a great promo from Ospreay to properly frame this feud with Pac. I do wish they would’ve let this be the All In match but whatever, this will still be a show stealer of a match for All Out. But as I said for Collision, and even Dynamite on Wednesday, Pac has been standing tall so the math favors Ospreay retaining the title.
My Score: 8.7/10
