PLAY BY PLAY
Edge is here!
The Rated R Superstar is in the Toyota Arena as he prepares for his final showdown with Seth Rollins! And after Rollins invaded Edge’s home, he’s bringing Rollins into HELL IN A CELL! Edge gets a mic and has a chair to take a seat in the ring. “So Seth, this all started between us seven years ago when you tried to use me as a stepping stone to notoriety. You spring forward seven years, and we find ourselves in each other’s way with a need to become Universal Champion. Which you caused from happening.” But this is so much more than that now. All those weeks after winning in Madison Square Garden, Rollins called Edge out while he wasn’t cleared to complete.
Rollins got greedy, called Edge’s bluff and went to Edge’s home. Not house, home. Houses are four walls but home is where Edge breaks bread, puts bandages on scraped knees and tucks his little girls into bed every night. “And you pissed all over it.” Rollins is watching backstage as Edge says this is out of his playbook. Edge once slapped John Cena’s dad! And here’s the thing: Edge underestimated Rollins. And that’d be like underestimating himself, which he never does. They’re so much alike, that when they see mistakes, they capitalize. Rollins underestimated Edge, Edge beat him decisively. Edge did that in MSG and Rollins stretchered Edge out of the world’s most famous arena.
Edge wants Rollins to know that he’s the only guy who comes close to matching him in passion, intensity and obsession for this. Close, but not equal. Rollins is not Edge Lite, Edge admits that. Rollins is his own man, he IS Seth Freakin’ Rollins. Rollins likes hearing that. Fans chant, “Seth, You Suck!” and Edge likes hearing that. But because Rollins is different, Edge has to end this. Otherwise, their families will be effected. Edge could go to Rollins’ home and encounter Becky. But Edge won’t do that. Edge will channel this feeling and change the look in Rollins’ eyes, leaving nothing but a husk of the man we see now!
A few weeks ago, Rollins said he felt sorry for Edge. That is a mistake. You never feel sympathy for the devil, and that’s what these two are. Edge won’t hesitate to put Rollins down. Edge had his opening last time, he will not hesitate this time. Their trilogy ends in Hell in a Cell! Rollins, listen real closely to this blueprint of Rollins’ future: “I am going to scar your SOUL! And that is a scar that you NEVER, EVER heal from!” Edge is ready to go to new depths to settle the score, but will it truly end at Crown Jewel?
King of the Ring Semifinals: Sami Zayn VS Finn Balor!
The Great Liberator used the Mysterio Family dysfunction to his advantage while The Prince battled the Swiss Cyborg straight-up. Will Sami have a trick to deny Balor the throne? Or will the Prince ascend to Crown Jewel and be a step away from the achievement of a lifetime?
SmackDown returns and Sami makes his entrance. Sami kisses the crown, that confident he’ll be wearing it soon enough. The bell rings and the two circle. Sami goes to a corner for defense but comes back to tie up with Balor. Sami waistlocks, Balor wrenches free and hammerlocks. Balor wrangles Sami to the mat as fans chant, “Sami Sucks!” Sami fights up, spins through but Balor puts the hammerlock right back on. Sami elbows out and then headlocks to scrape Balor’s face! Fans boo, Sami stalks Balor and kicks him low. Sami CHOPS Balor, whips him to ropes but Balor reverses. Sami sunset flips, Balor rolls through to basement dropkick! And then he arm-drags Sami to a cording hold!
Sami endures, Balor cranks the hold, and Sami grabs at Balor’s beard. The ref reprimands, Sami knees low and whips Balor to ropes. Balor ducks and dodges but Sami CLOBBERS Balor! Cover, TWO! Another try, TWO! A third, TWO! Sami grows annoyed but the fans rally up for Balor. Sami puts Balor on the ropes and chokes him! The ref counts, Sami lets off at 4 and he throws body shots. Sami wraps on a chinlock and traps an arm to bring Balor down. Balor endures, fights up as fans rally, but Sami knees him low again. Sami whips, Balor reverses and then throws Sami out! Balor builds speed to FLY! Direct hit at the ramp and fans fire up as SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns and Sami bumps Balor off buckles. Sami pushes Balor around, bumps him off more buckles, then soaks up the heat. Sami throws haymakers and says Balor’s in the ring with a king. Balor counter punches! Fans fire up as Balor sobats, CHOPS, but Sami forearms back! Balor hits a PELE! Both men go down and fans fire up again! Sami and Balor slowly sit up, Sami gets to ropes and Balor storms over to grab him by the hair! Balor bumps Sami off buckles, but Sami HOTSHOTS back! Sami grins as he goes up a corner, but Balor CHOPS him! Balor climbs up to join Sami, Sami fights with body shots, then Sami headbutts and shoves Balor down!
Sami mocks Balor’s pose, then adjusts to jump, into a dropkick! Balor covers, TWO!! Sami escapes but Balor drags him up into the dragon sleeper, for the ELBOW DROP- NO! Sami turns that into a BLUE THUNDER BOMB! Cover, TWO!! Balor survives and Sami rolls his eyes in annoyance. Sami drags Balor up, reels him in, but Balor blocks the exploder! Sami drives in elbows again and again as fans fire up. EXPLODER into buckles! Sami goes to the corner, waits for Balor to stand back up, Sami runs in but Balor dodges the Helluva Kick! Balor GAMANGIRIS Sami down, climbs up top, but Sami trips him up!
Balor flops to the mat, Sami rolls him, with feet on the ropes! The ref sees it, though! The ref warns Sami to respect her authority, but then Balor trips Sami up to rain down rights! Fans fire up with Balor as he aims from a corner, SLINGBLADE! And then the SHOTGUN! Sami hits buckles and falls into the drop zone! Balor goes up top, to COUP DE- NO! Sami dodges and rolls him up, TWO!! Balor escapes again but Sami hurries! Clinch, but Balor wheelbarrows and victory rolls to a DOUBLE STOMP! Another SHOTGUN, and Sami flounders about! Balor fires up, runs corner to corner for a third SHOTGUN!
Sami’s down again, Balor goes back up! COUP DE GRACE!! Cover, Balor wins!!
Winner: Finn Balor, by pinfall (advances to Crown Jewel)
And the Prince is that much closer to the throne! But who from Raw will meet Balor in the finals to fight for the crown?
Naomi VS Sonya Deville!
SmackDown finally gets to #FeelTheGlow as Naomi is finally given her return match! And speaking of, this is the return to the ring for Sonya, too! Will Sonya realize her abuse of power was a big mistake? Or will she knock Naomi down with an iron fist?
SmackDown returns and Sonya says the party is over. She has the music cut and she warned Naomi to not walk out of the office before Sonya is done talking. Don’t worry, there is still a match going on. But it will be Naomi VS Sonya and Shayna Baszler! The Queen of Spades makes her move to SmackDown a week early, and clearly by how Sonya is dressed, she was never really going to face Naomi at all. Will Naomi be able to defy a stacked deck?
Naomi VS Sonya Deville & Shayna Baszler!
Sonya says she makes the rules, this is tornado style. Ring the bell! The bell rings and Sonya SLAPS Naomi down! Naomi chases Sonya but Shayna grabs at Naomi! Naomi breaks free to ROUNDHOUSE! Sonya realizes she’s alone now and the chase is back on! Sonya goes around the way to slide back into the ring, but Naomi sees Shayna coming and ENZIGURIS her down! But Sonya KNEES Naomi down! Shayna kicks and CLUBS Naomi, Sonya throws her jacket off as she gets serious now. Shayna stands Naomi up and Sonya throws a heavy body shot. Shayna stands Naomi back up and Sonya says, “What did you do with the opportunity? You failed, like you always do!”
Sonya and Shayna still mug Naomi but Naomi BOOTS Sonya then fires off on Shayna! Naomi dodges Shayna to springboard and FLYING ROUNDHOUSE! Naomi puts Shayna in a drop zone but Sonya anchors Naomi! Naomi drags Sonya in, but Shayna gets the KIRAFUDA KLUTCH! Sonya wants Shayna to finish Naomi, and then she mocks Naomi, “You wanted a match! What happens now?” Naomi is OUT, Shayna lets Sonya cover, Sonya & Shayna win!
Winners: Sonya Deville & Shayna Baszler, by pinfall
Fans boo but Sonya just takes a bow. Naomi gets up, gasping for air. Will Sonya continue to bully Naomi? Or will Naomi call upon someone with even more pull?
Hit Row is coming!
B-Fab, Top Dolla, Ashante “Thee” Adonis and Isaiah “Swerve” Scott are ready to upgrade from NXT 2.0 to SmackDown. And if you didn’t know, now you know!
Sasha Banks speaks.
“They say some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them. But in my case, it’s all of the above!” Now, we are just six days away from Crown Jewel where Sasha makes history when she takes back the title. Making history is nothing new to her since she’s done that since day one. But she’s also here to right some wrongs. Two weeks ago, it was Bianca Belair. Tonight, it’s Becky’s turn. Big Time Becks gets a big time beatdown as Sasha is in a whole new zone. She is here to destroy and conquer as the blueprint and our NEW SmackDown Women’s Champion.
Seth Rollins heads to the ring!
We heard from Edge, but now The Visionary and his half argyle, half polka dot suit get to respond. He promises to “unleash hell” but what does that mean? We find out after the break.
SmackDown returns and Rollins has a mic. He takes a moment while the fans chant, “Seth, You Suck!” But then Rollins laughs and says Edge really came out here, trying to convince all of us and himself that he has any chance against Rollins at Crown Jewel! That is the greatest joke he’s heard in some time! But let’s set the record straight: Rollins is “in no way intimidated or afraid to face Edge inside Hell in a Cell. And do you know why?” Rollins will tell us: Hell has already frozen over here in California! The man himself, Edge, finally said it! He finally uttered the words, as we all heard, Edge was wrong. Rollins is NOT Edge Lite! HAHAHA!
See? Edge is finally coming around to what we have all known all along: Rollins is BETTER than Edge in every single possible way! Rollins is in Edge’s head! He has out-manipulated the master of mind game, and if that isn’t an advantage, than what is? Rollins says he has a mental and physical advantage after the MSG stomp and the stretcher and the hospital stay. There’s no way Edge can be 100%! But then what does Edge do? “He’s got an ace up his sleeve: Hell in a Cell.” Now Rollins will say this one more time, and he will say it very slowly for all of those in the back so you can understand him. “I. Am in no way. Intimidated or afraid. To face Edge. Inside Hell in a Cell!!”
Edge is right about a couple of things, though. Fans troll Rollins with chants of “Harley Quinn!” and “We Want Edge!” Rollins says he and Edge are devils cut from the same cloth, but there is one major difference: Rollins has spent more time inside the Cell than Edge has! Rollins knows what that structure does to people, and what it has done to Rollins! Rollins has been calloused by the Cell, been scarred by the Cell, just look at him!! Rollins is who he is today because of the Cell. And Edge is right, the fairy tale does end at Crown Jewel. Just not the way Edge thinks. And Rollins knows this because he is The Visionary, he is the Revolutionary, he IS Seth Freakin’ Rollins.
Carmella & Zelina Vega talk backstage.
These two are so glad that they don’t have “that raggedy” Liv Morgan around. If Vega is to win, she has to go against the best. And we all know that Mella, the Most Beautiful Woman in All of WWE is 10 times better than Liv and Toni Storm. Now, Vega won’t break Mella’s face, so she doesn’t need to have that mask> They can just have the good, clean, fair match as the classy ladies they are. Mella is so happy she’s facing someone who gets it! They’re both happy for each other, but will things stay friendly this close to the finals?
Queen’s Crown Semifinals: Zelina Vega VS Carmella!
SmackDown returns and Vega makes her entrance. Mella lets her ladies know she doesn’t need them but appreciates them being on standby. The bell rings and Vega continues to promise she won’t go after the face. Mella and Vega tie up, Mella goes for a roll up, TWO! Vega applauds that one, and then she returns it! TWO, and Mella applauds. They high five then circle. They tie up, Mella waistlocks, Vega pries free to switch. Mella bumps out, wrenches and wrangles Vega to the mat. Vega endures as Mella wants fans to cheer for her. Vega refuses to quit, she fights her way up, but Mella wrangles her right back down to go after the shoulder.
Vega still endures, and she fights up again, but Mella YANKS the arm. Mella has a wristlock, Vega uses ropes to flip through and she arm-drags Mella away. Vega then rolls Mella up, TWO! FABULOUS KICK! Vega gets away to a corner and Mella apologizes, that was out of habit. Vega snarls while wiping away smudged lipstick. THESZ PRESS! Fast hands, too! Mella pushes Vega away and worries about her face! She calls her ladies back and they get the protective mask out. The ref starts a ring count but then Mella sees Liv has snatched the mask! Liv waves hi and asks if this is what she wants. Then she shows a punch! Mella runs into the ring, Vega gets her for a cradle! Vega wins!
Winner: Zelina Vega, by pinfall (advances to Crown Jewel)
Liv gets in the ring and Mella bails out since she has no protection! Will Mella ever get past her grudge with Liv? As for Vega, she sits on the throne and has both crown and scepter. Will La Muneca become Queen Zelina soon enough?
“Happy” Corbin & “Mad Cap” Moss are here!
These two are back again for another episode of Happy Talk! But what will these two bust up over this time? We find out, after the break.
SmackDown returns, Corbin and Moss are in their seats as Corbin welcomes us back tot he show putting smiles on people’s faces. He welcomes his guest, the funniest man he’s ever met, Mad Cap Moss. Moss, give ’em something. So there’s this hen. Every day she lays eggs, until one day, she just stops. No one knows why and the hen is devastated. Eventually, the hen goes to see a therapist. And miracle of all miracles, she’s got a diagnosis: an egg-sistential crisis! But speaking of chickens, Kevin Owens flew the coop and ran away to Raw because he couldn’t take the heat. What do you call it when Kevin Owens is writhing in pain? Just another Friday night!
Corbin says he can’t wait to hear all the new jokes Moss will have for all the new SmackDown additions, from Charlotte to New Day to Drew McIntyre. All prime targets! Here’s one now! Ricochet and McIntyre walk into a bar. The bartender says- Rick Boogs interrupts! He introduces himself, and says he isn’t here to listen to bad jokes. He came here to ROCK with the Intercontinental Champion, Shinsuke NakamuuurAAAAAAAAAAA~!! And here he comes! Nakamura and Boogs go to ringside, Pat McAfee gets on the desk to rock out with them, and even Moss can’t help but smile. Of course, he could just be looney.
Nakamura eggs Corbin on as he and Boogs go back up the ramp to continue the concert. But wait! Here come the Street Profits! Boogs adjusts his tune to join in as Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins bring the swag like nobody can! But in their last match on the blue brand, will the Profits finally get the blue belts back and whisk them away to Raw? We find out after the break!
SmackDown Tag Team Championships Street Fight: The Usos VS The Street Profits!
SmackDown returns and The Usos make their entrance. The introductions are made, the titles are raised, and there’s no rules but to win as the Profits get one last chance!
Hands start flying already and the Profits back the Usos down. Jey whips Dawks but he spins it around to the CASH-OUT! Jey goes out, Dawkins pursues but is thrown into barriers! Jimmy flips Ford but he lands on his feet to ROCK Jimmy! Ford has Jimmy in a corner, climbs up and finishes off his drink before raining down rights! Jey drags Ford down for a back suplex to NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Dawkins returns but Jimmy DECKS him with an uppercut! The Usos go out after Dawkins but he fights them off! They get the 2v1 advantage then RAM Dawkins into barriers! Fans fire up as Ford FLIES and takes out both Usos!!
Ford fires up with SoCal and Dawkins tells him, “Tez! Get the tables!!” They bring out a table! Fans are thunderous already as the Profits pick up the table, only for the Usos to DOUBLE DIVE into them!! All four men go down and fans are fired up again as SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns and Jimmy gives Dawkins some ground ‘n’ pound. Fans want tables but Jey looks under the ring and finds no table on that end. Instead, he brings out kendo sticks! He tosses one to Jimmy then brings one in for himself. Jimmy SMACKS Dawkins right in the chest! Jey takes aim and SMACKS Dawkins on the back! Dawkins writhes and rolls, but he sits up as the Usos coordinate. Fans want it “One More Time!” and the Usos DOUBLE KENDO SMACK! Cover, TWO! Dawkins stays in this so the Usos just SMACK away on him over and over and from all sides! But Ford climbs up top and CROSSBODIES in! Down go both Usos!

Ford jumps over as Dawkins is POSTED! Usos DOUBLE SUPERKICK Ford! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS for Dawkins! Cover, TWO!!

Ford smacks Jey off the desk! Jimmy runs over but into a GAMANGIRI! And the ANOINTING! Ford FROM THE HEAVENS!! Cover, Jey drags Ford off in time! Jey picks Ford up, URENAGE through the table!! Ford is dazed in the wreckage, Dawkins flops out of the ring and hurries over. Dawkins CLOBBERS Jey from behind then rains down rights!
Dawkins bumps Jey off apron and ROCKS Jimmy with an uppercut! He blocks the superkick, waistlocks, O’Conner Roll, ONE and into an uppercut from Jey! SUPERKICK from Jimmy! DOUBLE SUPERKICKS from The Usos! Dawkins is down the Usos go up top again! USO SPLASH, TIMES TWO! Cover, the Usos win!
Winners: The Usos, by pinfall (still SmackDown Tag Team Champions)
The shirts say it all, #WeTheOnes who keep the blue gold on the blue brand! Will The Bloodline always rule SmackDown? As for the Profits, can they build back up once they move to Raw?
Backstage interview with Becky Lynch.
Any final thoughts on what Sasha said earlier tonight? Sasha wants to talk about greatness but Becky will tell us about greatness. Being undefeated in singles competition for almost three years. Kicking down doors so that others can waltz right in. Going off and having a baby like the god she is and then returning in record time to win a title. Greatness will be retaining this title in the biggest match of the year at Crown Jewel. Greatness is Big Time Becks, and she heads out to prove it! But will The Man come ’round only to stumble against The Boss?

Meanwhile, Adam Pearce hustles the ring crew into setting up the contract signing set. The table and chairs are at the ready, and Pearce sets the microphones down because…
Roman Reigns heads to the ring!
As always, Paul Heyman hands the belt over so The Tribal Chief can lift it up and cue the pyro. Then they go down the ramp, Heyman holding up the belt as a banner. Roman gets in the ring, is given the belt back, and he holds it up for the second round of pyro. And then, here comes BROCK LESNAR! He has his own pyro but he doesn’t waste time getting to it! Lesnar does take a moment to circle the ring before getting in, though. Lesnar takes his seat as fans chant, “Suplex City!” and he even puts his feet up on the table. Roman hands the contract to Heyman for him to review it, and Lesnar is patient. Heyman says it is everything Roman requested, so his counsel is to sign the contract.
Roman takes up the pen, signs his part, and then sets the contract down on the table. Pearce hands it to Lesnar, Lesnar just signs it without even looking. Roman laughs at Lesnar and says, “You must be some kind of a dumbass. A big dumb farmer, huh? You just sign it without even reading it? What’s wrong with you, man?” Lesnar says he read it this morning, with his Advocate, Heyman. Again Roman and Heyman have tension, and Lesnar is laughing as he takes his leave! The Beast continues to show he can play mind games, but will he win the match with them? Will Heyman survive either way?
My Thoughts:
A really good go-home for SmackDown, though it was still clearly bogged down with usual go-home cliché. We got a lot of hype packages for the SmackDown draft choices, namely Drew McIntyre, Sheamus Hit Row, The New Day & Charlotte Flair. And we also got recap packages that while still well made were just filling up time so SmackDown could make it to 2 and a half hours. We got really good promos from Edge and Seth Rollins to hype up their Hell in a Cell match, that is going to be a lot of fun, but with them both going to Raw anyway, I honestly have no idea which way the match goes or if this even ends the feud. I mean, it should, and there’s even a way Rollins wins that writes Edge off until the Royal Rumble or beyond.
We got a great King of the Ring match with Balor naturally winning because for one, Sami refuses to go to Saudi Arabia, and two, going far in KOTR should be used to make up for Balor’s loss at Extreme Rules. The Queen’s Crown match had a promising start but nope, still disappointingly short. Liv could’ve still been why Mella lost, but did it have to be soon? This show was half an hour longer but the women’s match couldn’t be five more minutes? Naomi VS Sonya was also a bit disappointing, but the swerve did make sense. Sonya wasn’t going to play this fair against Naomi, and Shayna being Sonya’s choice sets things up for more story once the Draft “takes effect” next week.
The only good thing about Happy Talk was that it transitioned to Boogs rocking out to the SmackDown Tag Team Championship match starting. I don’t know why WWE/Vince keeps confusing cringe heat for genuine Heel heat, but that’s definitely happening with Corbin’s newest gimmick. But clearly we’re also getting Corbin & Moss VS Nakamura & Boogs that is really just a rehash of when Corbin, Nakamura and Boogs were a thing over the Wolf King’s crown. I’d rather Sheamus just blow this all up and he goes for the Intercontinental Championship and his Grand Slam. Just give a Brogue to everyone, especially Corbin and Moss.
I do love that the last half hour got to be commercial free, that was awesome. Becky VS Sasha was awesome stuff, and even Bianca’s moderate interference was alright. It was only fair since Bianca got screwed out, and so it was all a rotation through the three women fighting for the SmackDown Women’s Championship. What’s surprising is that Bianca is also facing Charlotte on Monday for the Raw Women’s Championship. It would make a lot of sense if Bianca won because she’s going to Raw anyway, so the title would stay there. That would then also mean Sasha wins at Crown Jewel to keep the SmackDown title on SmackDown. But then that does cut out a lot of the unpredictability of things, which is a bummer.
Then that contract signing to end things was actually perfectly done because it was short and Lesnar got to the point with his little mind game. I really hope Heyman does have a part to play this time, because Heyman could latch back onto Lesnar and leave Roman reeling.
My Score: 8.4/10

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Will Ospreay VS Ricochet!
Wait, are the fans throwing white streamers or is that… No, yeah, it’s toilet paper! Ospreay laughs at the fans basically calling Ricochet crap. Ricochet throws the toilet paper back! The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans fire up for Ospreay as he and Ricochet circle. The fans also sing, “F HIM UP, OSPREAY, F HIM UP!” Ricochet shrugs that off, he and Ospreay tie up, and then Ricochet rolls. Ospreay shoots in, waistlocks, but Ricochet switches. They go around, Ricochet gator rolls with Ospreay, then floats to a headlock. Ricochet wrenches, hammerlocks then headlocks again. Ospreay powers up and out, Ricochet runs him over, but Ospreay kips up!
The fans cheer and Ospreay smiles as he and Ricochet reset. They tie up, go around, and Ricochet wrenches to a wristlock. Ospreay rolls, wrenches and wristlocks, but Ricochet spins and wrenches to hammerlock. Ospreay reaches back, headlocks and hits a takeover. Ricochet rolls to a cover, TWO! Ospreay holds onto the headlock but Ricochet powers up and out. Ospreay runs Ricochet over, Ricochet bails out, and then Ospreay handsprings to fake Ricochet out! The fans cheer as Ospreay superhero lands out, and Ricochet is annoyed. Ospreay holds ropes open for Ricochet, but Ricochet goes around the way to step in on his own.
The fans boo Ricochet being a bad sport but Ricochet ignores that. Ospreay and Ricochet knuckle lock, then Ricochet kicks low! And CHOPS! Ricochet whips, Ospreay reverses, but Ricochet rolls off Ospreay’s back! Things keep moving, Ospreay avoids the handspring to then duck ‘n’ dodges and RANA! But Ricochet handsprings through! The fans fire up, and Ospreay arm-drags Ricochet down! The fans cheer while Ricochet endures the grind. Ricochet fights up and puts Ospreay on ropes. The ref counts, Ricochet and Ospreay slowly let g o, and Ricochet SLAPS Ospreay! Ospreay CHOPS Ricochet!
Ospreay takes a swing, Ricochet ducks under to roll back and RANA! But now Ospreay handsprings through! Ricochet dodges to waistlock but Ospreay bucks the O’Conner. Ricochet arm-drags Ospreay down, but Ospreay headscissors back! Ricochet pops free but Ospreay arm-drags! Ricochet headscissors, Ospreay pops free, and Ospreay handsprings, but Ricochet catches him! Ricochet then THROWS Ospreay into the Tree of Woe, and Ospreay falls down! The fans boo while Ospreay bails out, but Ricochet FOSBURY FLOPS! The fans boo but Ricochet takes the toilet paper to wipe himself, then he SMOTHERS Ospreay with it!
The fans boo that literally disgusting act of disrespect, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Ricochet taunts the fans, then drags Ospreay up. Ricochet puts Ospreay in, soaks up more heat, then KNEE-BOARD SENTONS! Ricochet swaggers to taunt the fans more, then he goes back to Ospreay. Cover, ONE!! Another cover, TWO! Ricochet taunts the fans more, then goes back for Ospreay. Ricochet stands Ospreay up to CHOP, and Ospreay goes to a corner. Ricochet RAMS into Ospreay, RAMS him again, then snapmares to UPPERCUT in the back! Cover, TWO! Ospreay stays in this but Ricochet drags him into a motorcycle stretch. Ospreay endures while Ricochet digs a knee into the back. Ospreay fights up, fights with elbows, then runs, but into a DROPKICK!
Ospreay is down in a daze but Ricochet has to shake out the stars in his own head. Ricochet covers, ONE! Ospreay then uses that one to flip off Ricochet. Ricochet RAMS Ospreay in the back! Ricochet then clamps on with a chinlock, and he digs his knee into Ospreay’s back. Ospreay endures, even as Ricochet JAMS Ospreay. Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally for Ospreay again. Ospreay fires up, fires hands, but Ricochet RAMS him into a corner. Ricochet runs up, RAMS into Ospreay, then goes to the apron. Ospreay takes a swing but Ricochet dodges and gets around him to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ospreay lands out!
Ospreay runs, handsprings, NEURALIZER KICK! The fans fire up while both men are down! Ospreay goes to the apron, takes aim, and he springboards to PIP PIP CHEERIO!

Ricochet staggers, Ospreay runs, but Ricochet TIGER WALL KICKS! Forearm, SOBAT, and Ricochet runs, but into a POP-UP, and STYLES- NO, Ricochet sits up, slips free, and he underhooks Ospreay for a FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ospreay survives but Ricochet goes up.
Ricochet has to double clutch, the fans let him hear it, but Ricochet still MOONSAULTS! Ricochet lands out as Ospreay moves, and Ospreay runs up, but into an ELBOW! Ricochet handsprings, but into a pop-up, Electric Chair, spin around, STYLES CLASH!! Cover, TWO!! Ricochet survives and Ospreay is surprised. Ospreay pulls on the elbow pad and the fans fire up! “This is Awesome!” as Ospreay aims, but Ricochet bails out! The fans boo but Ospreay storms after Ricochet. They’re both on the apron and Ospreay goes up a corner. Ricochet anchors Ospreay first! Then Ricochet has the Electric Chair Lift!

Ospreay gets up, Ricochet blocks a kick!
Ricochet V-TRIGGERS, then he reels Ospreay in! But Ospreay fights out of the bomb, but then Ricochet returns the favor! Ricochet suplexes, into STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Ospreay springboards for the OSC- CUTTER FROM RICOCHET!! Ricochet hurries to get Ospreay up, powerbomb into fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! SPIRIT- HIDDEN BLADE!! Both men are down and the fans are thunderous! Ospreay and Ricochet both slowly sit up and the fans rally as hard as ever. Ricochet and Ospreay stare down, talk a bit of trash, then stand up. Ospreay draws a line in the sand and dares Ricochet to step up.
Ricochet steps right up, they stand toe to toe, literally! They start firing forearms! The fans cheer Ospreay, boo Ricochet, and Ricochet wobbles! But then Ricochet comes back with forearm after forearm! Ospreay wobbles, but he grins as he rises and roars! Ospreay fires a flurry on Ricochet, then ROCKS him! Ricochet flops over, Ospreay hauls him up! But Ricochet grabs at the ref! Ospreay kicks Ricochet’s arm away, but then Ricochet RAMS Ospreay into the ref! The fans boo but then Ricochet hurries to HOOK KICK! And VERTI- NO, Ospreay slips free to underhook! STORM BREAKER! Cover, but the ref is down!
The fans count, Ospreay would’ve won twice over! Ospreay calls to the ref, the ref sputters around, and Ospreay goes up. But then Ricochet kicks the ref into ropes! Ospreay gets tripped up and the fans boo more! Ospreay is confused as to what happened, but SPIRIT GUN hits the mark!! Cover, RICOCHET WINS!
Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Ospreay earns 0)
The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?
Adam Cole heads to the ring!
The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.
MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.
When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.
Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.
Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!
In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.
But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.
But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!
Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!
But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?
Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.
“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?
Kris Statlander VS Penelope Ford!
As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?
The bell rings and the fans rally as Kris circles with Ford. They tie up, Kris powers Ford to a corner, then throws Ford back into the corner! The ref counts, Kris lets off, but Ford shoves her! Kris ROCKS Ford, TOSSES her, then runs up on her. Kris whips, drops down, then hurdles over. Kris CLOBBERS Ford and the fans fire up as she flexes. Kris drags Ford up, reels her in, and suplexes, and she holds Ford up! The fans cheer and Kris goes all the way to TEN, but Ford slips into a SLEEPER! Kris pries the hold open and she brings Ford around for another suplex! The fans fire up as Kris holds Ford up for five before the SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Kris drags Ford up, whips her to the corner, but Ford goes up, only for Kris to Electric Chair Lift! Kris climbs, Ford fights with fists, and she shoves Kris down! Ford steadies herself, then hits a FLYING BLOCKBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford is frustrated but she storms up on Kris. Ford bumps Kris off buckles but the fans rally behind Kris. Ford stomps a mudhole, but she lets off as the ref counts. Kris goes to the apron, but Ford jumps up to drop KNEES on her! The fans boo but Ford soaks up the heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Ford brings Kris around to THROW her into railing! Ford soaks up more heat, then drags Kris up and RAMS her into the apron! Ford refreshes the count, then stalks Kris around the way. Ford whips Kris into the steel steps! Kris falls over in a heap but Ford drags her up into the ring. Ford covers, TWO! Kris stays in this but Ford kicks her around. Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes, thrashes around, but lets off as the ref counts. Ford drags Kris up and whips her to ropes, then LARIATS as Collision goes to break.
Christmas Collision returns and Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes again! The ref counts, Ford lets off and Kris sputters to the apron. Ford runs and goes up, up, and KNEE DROPS on only apron! Kris then SHOTGUNS Ford off the apron! The fans fire up and Kris brings Ford up, to THROW into railing! Kris puts Ford in the ring, the fans fire up, but Ford kicks low. Ford reels Kris in, but Kris suplexes, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford flounders to a corner but Kris has the fans rallying behind her. Kris runs up to UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side but Ford dodges the knee! Ford hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!
Ford wasn’t quite perfect there but she watches Kris go to a corner. Ford runs corner to corner, handsprings, but Kris catches her! The fans fire up as Kris GERMAN SUPELXES, but Ford lands out! but Kris goes Matrix to dodge! So does Ford! STUNNER! Ford runs, Kris does her best to follow, but Ford hops up for a POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Ford is beside herself, but she drags Kris to a drop zone. Ford goes up top, and MOONSAULTS BUT FLOPS as Kris moves! Kris hurries to deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! The fans fire up as Kris scoops to tuck Ford in! STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?

PLAY BY PLAY
Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!
And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?
Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!

Davis SENTONS but onto knees! Davis writhes, Cage tags Konosuke! POWER- NO, Davis stops the knee! Davis takes a swing but Konosuke ducks that, to BLUE THUNDER BOMB!! High stack, TWO!! Davis survives and Konosuke snarls, but Rampage goes picture in picture.

Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?
Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!
The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?

Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall
Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?

Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?
Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)
If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.
Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.
And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10
