When #BossTime & #ToniTime team up, it’s a good time! But when the wild child has The Queen backing her up, will Sasha & Toni be welcomed to a royal ball pit?

Winners: Toni Storm & Sasha Banks, by pinfall
Last week, Charlotte got herself disqualified! But this week, you can’t deny that Toni’s time is coming! Will she get an even bigger win when it’s for the title?
HAIL! KING WOODS!
Xavier sits on his throne as Kofi, Rick Boogs, Shinsuke Nakamura and more rock out. He says their admiration is appreciated. He bestows upon them the honor of kissing the royal fingers. Boogs kisses the hand. But “Hear ye, hear ye.” The Usos come in. Is this your king?! Where’d Woods get that crown? He looks like a cosplayer, pretending a lot. oh the ogres are here! Was it not last week that they got a royal beating upon their buttocks? Then New Day will gladly beat them again before Day 1 where they become the W! W! E! World! Tag! Team! Champions~! Then the Usos accept. They’ll beat New Day tonight, then beat them at Day One.
Oh, clever play off the catchphrase. Begone! The New Day laugh the Usos out, but who will be having the last laugh here in Chicago?
Natalya watches a highlight reel of last week.
Namely, of Xia Li coming to help Naomi fight off her, Shayna Baszler & Sonya Deville. Megan walks in to ask Natty about it, but Natty wants Megan to understand who she is talking to. She is talking to a Guinness Book of World Records record holder! She has had the most matches and PPV matches of any woman in WWE history. And yet Megan’s asking about Xia Li? “The Protector?” Xia had the audacity to viciously attack Natty and call that protecting Naomi. No no no. Not here. Xia is a nobody and Natty is the Best Of All Time! If Xia ever steps to Natty again, Xia will need a protector! Is the Queen of Harts betting too much on herself?
The Viking Raiders VS Jinder Mahal & Shanky!
While we know Day 1 has New Day VS Usos, these two teams plan on being ready for the day after! Will Erik & Ivar or the Modern Day Maharaja and sidekick be one step closer to the titles?
SmackDown returns and Jinder & Shanky make their entrance. But a Raw recap took up a lot of time, so SmackDown goes back to break.
SmackDown returns again, and the Viking Raiders mug Jinder in their corner. Ivar Mongolian Chops Jinder, then tags in Erik. Ivar KNEES Jinder, Erik KNEES Jinder!

Erik & Ivar win, they’re ready to RAID! Will it be the Usos or the New Day who are in the way of this warpath?
Happy Corbin & Mad Cap Moss still have Adam Pearce’s desk.
And with it, they still have Drew McIntyre’s claymore sword! They’re heading for gorilla, what will they do to the sword in the wood?
Heyman greets the car that pulls into the arena.
But it isn’t Roman Reigns. It’s BROCK LESNAR! Good ol’ Advocate! Heyman says he was expecting someone else. Oh, that’s alright. Maybe Roman, huh? Good luck with that. Lesnar pats Heyman on the shoulder and Heyman says thanks. But is this only going to turn up the heat on the Special Counsel?
SmackDown presents an all new Happy Talk!
Corbin & Moss make their entrance, then go to the ring. The desk is already there waiting, and Corbin welcomes the fans back to his show. If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands. If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands! This week, Corbin is extremely happy because of the new addition to the set. To Drew McIntyre, this sword is just a sword. But to Corbin, it is a multi-functional and highly expensive piece of furniture. It’s a hat rack, a cigar cutter, maybe even a nail file. Be careful, though! But the fact of the matter is, Corbin couldn’t be happier. Though, they could bring this to another level with one of Moss’ jokes!
“What do you call Drew McIntyre when he leaves his sword behind in a desk? The Glasgow Ditz.” Fans boo but Moss has another one. “Where can you find a discount kilt? I don’t know. Ask bargain basement Braveheart!” Here’s another one. “Why did Drew McIntyre’s girl decide to wear a suit? He thought someone should wear the pants in the relationship!” Corbin says Moss is amazing. He was going to leave the sword in the desk, but Moss should have it to go with his razor wit. Moss is honored, and he goes to pull the sword out of the desk, but it’s stuck! Corbin thinks Moss is joking around but Moss says he really can’t get it out.
Corbin gives it a try, and even Corbin can’t remove the sword! They both try, but it’s really in there. So here comes McIntyre! McIntyre smirks at the futile efforts of Corbin and Moss. McIntyre goes to the ring, and he says, “What’s the matter, lads? Are we having some performance issues?” Moss swings on McIntyre but gets DECKED! McIntyre throws Moss out then HEADBUTTS Corbin! There’s the Glasgow Kiss! McIntyre takes hold of the sword, and he removes it in one go! So does McIntyre rule all of England or something? McIntyre aims at Corbin but Moss gets him out of there before we end up with two halves of Corbin! Will Corbin & Moss learn to stop joking around for once?
Sonya Deville & Adam Pearce are visited by Sami Zayn.
They’re surprised Sami’s alive. And that he’s also not wearing the neck brace or leg cast… Sami’s lawyer said he no longer needed it. Wait, lawyer? Not doctor? Uh, doctor, right! Anyway, not the point. Sami just came by to wish them a happy holiday. Oh, really? Yes, really! Sami may not like the commercialization of the holiday, but he cares about the spirit. Such as the spirit of giving. So he wants something? No! He earned a Universal Championship match but was robbed of it when Lesnar decimated him and left him for Roman to pick the bones. So how long will it take for Sami to get his real opportunity? Because he remembers being robbed of the Intercontinental Championship a YEAR ago!
Sonya & Pearce know Sami loves the Intercontinental Championship, so they can give him something. Next week, Sami will be in a 12 Days of Christmas 12 Man Gauntlet. Winner faces Shinsuke Nakamura for the Intercontinental Championship. Not much of a gift, though. But it’s the gift that keeps on giving! Okay, okay, fine. Happy holidays, Sami! Sonya & Pearce are excited, but will the Great Liberator even survive to the end of such a match?
Ridge Holland w/ Sheamus VS Cesaro!
The Northern Grit has been learning from the Celtic Warrior, a truly great and accomplished superstar. But is Ridge about to learn something from the Swiss Superman that not even Sheamus can teach him?
Sheamus being in the ring makes Cesaro wary, but it’s to distract Cesaro! Ridge CLOBBERS Cesaro with his Billy club! Sheamus laughs at Cesaro’s pain, and then he and Ridge soak up the heat. Cesaro bails out to catch his breath, will he be okay to compete after the break?
SmackDown returns and Cesaro’s ribs are all taped up now. He says he’s still good to go, and he gets in the ring while the ref has Sheamus and Ridge keep their distance. The bell rings, Ridge RAMS Cesaro right to a corner! Ridge throws knees and then he throws body shots! Cesaro drops to a knee, Ridge grins and brings Cesaro up to KNEE him low. Sheamus loves what he sees, and Ridge scoops Cesaro to hit a BACKBREAKER! “Look at the power, lads!” Ridge grins as he has a chinbar and leg for a modified Bow ‘n’ Arrow! Cesaro endures a knee in his ribs but fans rally up. Ridge then lets go to drop a knee into Cesaro’s back!
Ridge drags Cesaro up, headbutts the bad ribs, then reels Cesaro in for a cobra twist! Cesaro endures the stretch, and even the elbow in his side! Ridge CLUBS Cesaro, but Cesaro powers up. Ridge blocks the hip toss to throw another body shot! Cesaro EuroUppers, then hits a BIG back suplex! Fans fire up and Sheamus looks worried as Ridge goes to a corner. Cesaro runs in to EuroUpper, then back elbow, then fire off body shots. Ridge hits a body shot of his own! But Cesaro comes back to clothesline Ridge out! Cesaro goes out and EuroUppers Ridge against barriers! Cesaro says this is on Sheamus, and he puts Ridge into the ring.
Cesaro drags himself up but Sheamus distracts him again! Ridge hits the ribs, then scoops Cesaro for NORTHERN GRIT!! Cover, Ridge wins!
Winner: Ridge Holland, by pinfall
Sheamus celebrates with his protégé, but the Fella was definitely why Ridge won at all. Ridge literally KICKS Cesaro out of the ring, will Ridge and Sheamus look to run roughshod over SmackDown?
McIntyre looks for Corbin & Moss.
“Come out, come out, wherever you are~!” He wants to hear one of their hilarious jokes! Is the punchline going to be that McIntyre gets the last laugh?
Naomi heads to the ring!
She didn’t get her fair match with Sonya Deville, will she get any match at all tonight? Or will Sonya have another abuse of power up her sleeve?
SmackDown returns and Naomi has the mic. “So, every year, I make myself a little Christmas list. And each year, there isn’t ever much on my list, just like this year. There’s only one thing, and that is to face Sonya Deville one-on-one.” Naomi says Santa is here early and “Cruella” is listening. Sonya’s done everything but face Naomi, so how about she get out to the ring and they do this tonight?! Where you at?! Sonya walks out and says this is very unprofessional> She’s said it before and will say it again. When the suit’s on, Naomi can’t touch her. But that’s okay.
Instead, she has an alternate. Someone who has been literally begging to get in the ring with Naomi and is superior to her in every single way. It’s Shayna Baszler. Fine, but only if Sonya will step in the ring. Sonya gets in the ring, she just needs to take off the jacket. But then Shayna attacks from behind! And she goes after Naomi’s leg with elbow drop after elbow drop, then a LEG DDT! Ref, ring the bell.
Naomi VS Shayna Baszler!
Shayna drags Naomi around by the leg, and has a HEEL HOOK! Naomi kicks, flails, fights the grip, reaches for ropes, but Shayna drags her away. Naomi sits up to make it a cover! NAOMI WINS!!
Winner: Naomi, by pinfall
Shayna got cocky and got caught! When will Sonya gear up and actually take Naomi on for real?
Corbin & Moss are hiding.
But Megan finds them and asks them if she can turn on a light. No, turn those off! But McIntyre got his sword back and they didn’t seem very happy about it. So if he found them, they wouldn’t be happy? Corbin is always happy! He’s happy cuz he’s rich, he loves his life, and he can look down on commoners and smile. Corbin is happy because he’ll be laughing all the way to New Year’s. At Day 1, McIntyre will go 1v1 and LOSE… to Moss. Isn’t that awesome? Moss tries to laugh it off but he doesn’t like being the butt of the joke. Will New Year’s be what brings Moss & Corbin down for once?
The New Day VS The Usos!
Sure, they have a match at Day 1, but neither team wants to wait to shut the other up! Will this non-title match go through? Or does the Bloodline have a plan in mind?
SmackDown returns and the Usos make their entrance. The teams sort out and “Sir Kofi” starts against “Main Event Jey.” They tie up, Jey headlocks but Kofi powers out. Jey runs Kofi over, holds up a finger for #WeTheOnes, then things speed up. Kofi drops, hurdles, hurdles and jumps again but Jey stays back. Kofi catches Jey for SOS! Cover, TWO! Kofi kicks Jey at the ropes, CHOPS him, but Jimmy tags in. Kofi whips, Jey reverses but Kofi ROCKS him! Jey shoves Kofi into Jimmy’s ENZIGURI! Jey CLOBBERS Kofi, Jimmy gets in to drag Kofi up. Jimmy bumps Kofi off buckles and fires off haymakers! The ref counts, Jimmy lets off but Jey gets a shot in.
Jimmy drags Kofi up to ROCK him with an uppercut, Jey tags back in, and the Usos mug Kofi with a mule kick to the ribs! Jey tags Jimmy back in, Jimmy drags Kofi to wrap on a chinlock. Jimmy grinds Kofi down, fans rally up, and Kofi fights up. Kofi slips out but Jimmy keeps him from Woods. Kofi throws hands, then dodges to SUPERKICK Jimmy down! Fans fire up as Kofi crawls, hot tag to King Woods, but Jey distracts the ref!! The ref doesn’t see the tag so it doesn’t count! Jimmy drags Kofi back in with a chinlock, then feeds him to Jey’s LARIAT! The Usos soak up the heat and SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns again and Jey hits Kofi while he’s up top! Kofi hits back, then SPLASHES Jey while he’s standing! Fans fire up, hot tags to Jimmy and Woods! King Xavier finally rallies on Jimmy, but Jey whips him to a corner! Woods BOOTS Jey the hits the HONOR ROLL! Jimmy whips but Woods tilt-o-whirls to a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! Fans fire up with Woods and he runs to clothesline Jimmy out! Woods runs to WRECK Jimmy with a dropkick! Woods gets Jimmy back in the ring, hurries to the corner and climbs up, to SUPER LEG DROP! Cover, TWO!! Woods grits his teeth, drags Jimmy up, but Jimmy kicks. Woods blocks but gets the DRAGON WHIP!
Woods still dodges, Kofi tags in, Woods goes out after Jey but ends up getting TOSSED into barriers! Kofi leaps, Jimmy gets under, but Kofi gets Jimmy for S- NO! Jimmy powers out, dodges Trouble in Paradise and SUPERKICKS Kofi down! Cover, TWO! Jimmy is shocked but he tags in Jey. Woods gets in, distracts back so now the ref doesn’t see that! Jey argues, Woods shoves him down! Jimmy sings on Woods, but turns around into TROUBLE IN PARADISE! Kofi covers, New Day wins!!
Winner: The New Day, by pinfall
Turnabout is fair play! Will the Usos end up the same way at Day 1?
Now Roman Reigns arrives.
Heyman should’ve known he’d be in a Mercedes rather than a GMC. But Roman goes out the other side, not even allowing Heyman to open the door for him. “Let’s go to my ring.” Heyman follows his Tribal Chief, but what will Roman have to say about everything he’s seen since last week?
SmackDown says Merry Christmas next Friday!
Christmas Eve will see Toni Storm challenge for the SmackDown Women’s Championship, is it going to be a very merry #ToniTime? And the 12 men have been chosen! Sami Zayn, Drew Gulak, Mansoor, Cesaro, Ricochet, Jinder Mahal, Shanky, both Viking Raiders, both Los Lotharios and Sheamus compete in the 12 Days of Christmas Gauntlet! But who will be the partridge in a pear tree facing Shinsuke Nakamura at Day 1?
Roman Reigns heads to the ring.
Fans are torn as the Head of the Table and Special Counsel stand on stage. Roman holds up the Universal Championship and the pyro goes off. Then Heyman carries the belt as a banner as they get in the ring. Roman again holds up the belt for the second round of pyro. The Usos appear again, they must’ve stayed ringside after losing to the New Day. Heyman hands the mic over to Roman and he says, “Chicago. Acknowledge me.” Plenty of fans seem willing to do that, but many more boo. Roman says he’s said this before and he thought he made it very clear. “I don’t like it when my cousins lose.” He puts a hand on Jey’s shoulder and asks if he knows that. Jey does.
But they’re family. They can get through anything, because they’re blood. But Heyman, on the other hand… He’s not blood. And Heyman should know better than anyone that Roman can’t have people disrespecting him. You disrespect him, you disrespect the family. So Roman will ask these questions again because he thought he knew the answers, but… “Can I trust you, Wiseman?” Roman took a week off and yet he knows what happened. Heyman seems a bit shady. So to get it straight, did Heyman know Brock would return at SummerSlam? Did Heyman know Brock would be at Madison Square Garden? Did Heyman know Brock’s suspension would be lifted?
Heyman isn’t sure how to answer any of that and that upsets Roman. Chicago says Heyman screwed up, and Roman says damn right he has. But this is the most important for Heyman: Is he a Special Counsel? Or is he an Advocate? Heyman is again unsure how to answer. Fans are voting, “Advocate! Advocate!” Heyman wants the mic to speak, but Roman isn’t giving his up. So Heyman gets a different mic, and then takes a moment to think. He seems to be getting a headache. But Roman cuts Heyman off to make sure Heyman acknowledges Roman with the truth. “Why are you protecting Brock Lesnar from me?”
Heyman chuckles a bit nervously here. Heyman takes another moment, and he says, “My Tribal Chief, I’m not protecting Brock Lesnar from you.” Heyman quickly asks God for help on this last part. “I’m protecting you from Brock Lesnar!” Jimmy & Jey says that is disrespect! Roman hugs Heyman and says, “I love you, Wiseman. And I thank you for your honesty. And I thank you for 40 years of service to my family. And you’re fired.” Just like that?! And then a SUPERMAN PUNCH!! Roman terminates Heyman, and then has Jey get a chair for him! Wait, Roman wants another chair. Roman puts Heyman’s head on the first, and then holds the second.
BUT HERE COMES LESNAR! The Beast is here to save Heyman! Jimmy & Jey rush him but get CLOBBERED at the ramp! HALF HATCH for Jey! Then Brock fireman’s carries Jey for an F5!! Lesnar is fire dup but Jimmy SUPERKICKS him! But Lesnar is back up to F5 Jimmy!! Roman dares Lesnar to do something while he has a chair. Lesnar rushes in, Roman fires off with the chair! Again and again, but Lesnar still gets up?! F5 for Roman!! Chicago is going nuts as Lesnar looms over Roman! Fans want “One More Time!” so Lensar gets Roman up to F5 AGAIN!! Is The Conqueror back?! Will we see a NEW Reigning, Defending, Undisputed Universal Heavyweight Champion at Day 1?!
My Thoughts:
This was a pretty good SmackDown, but what an awesome ending! New Day VS Usos happening here just because was a great match but a weird booking choice. Of course, this is what happens when WWE cuts so many people that could have matches against Usos and New Day as tune-ups. Hell, they could’ve even had it be The Viking Raiders VS Usos and Jinder & Shanky VS New Day. But then I guess Roman’s segue of Usos losing and being family wouldn’t have worked out. Roman confronting Heyman and everything that stemmed from it was amazing. I love how much drama Heyman put into saying he was protecting Roman, given the match history between Roman and Lesnar.
Roman wanting to con-chair-to Heyman was a pretty wild tease, too, and Lesnar made an awesome save. There’s still a couple weeks, but I feel like this means Roman retains at Day 1. New Day winning against Usos also makes me think Usos retain at Day 1. I’m also surprised the SmackDown Women’s Championship won’t be on Day 1 with them having the match next week. The women’s tag that started the night was good, though it took a moment to get going. Toni and Shotzi had a hard time with, well, timing, but I think that’s because this was their first time meeting in the ring as opponents. Toni getting the win in this match surely means Charlotte retains for Christmas.
I do like that we’re getting something big for the Intercontinental Championship. A 12 Man Gauntlet is going to be a lot of fun, and probably half the show. Out of the 12 men, I doubt the tag teams are going to win, so that’s like half the field out of the running right there. Though, maybe Jinder could, I wouldn’t mind seeing Nakamura VS Jinder, maybe even Shanky VS Boogs on the side. I would think Sami finds a way to win, though, I would love seeing him interact with Boogs, too. Plus, Sheamus has a thing building with Cesaro after he helped Ridge win. I would think Cesaro still gets a tag partner to face Ridge & Sheamus at the same time. Mansoor? Ricochet? Drew Gulak since he’s still here somehow?
Naomi confronting Sonya just to get a filler win over Shayna was whatever, I feel like this should’ve been Xia Li having a match against even just a “local enhancement talent.” Natty did have a good promo calling Xia out, that will be a great match. Sonya might wait until Day 1 or even the Royal Rumble to face Naomi fair and square, and maybe still in some kind of stipulation match just so she can bend the rules to her advantage. Same goes for how McIntyre’s story with Corbin & Moss. The Happy Talk segment had fans chanting “CM PUNK!” because it took way too long to get to the point: Corbin & Moss can’t do anything with the sword and McIntyre gets it back. Day 1 has a match but it’s against Moss, so clearly they’re saving McIntyre VS Corbin for Royal Rumble.
My Score: 8.3/10

Results:
The Rascalz vs Fir$t Cla$$ vs Laredo vs The System
Octagon got jumped by The System earlier so Laredo is fighting alone. Another backstage jumping is getting a little dumb.
Laredo and Trey start. Typical Indie start with Simultaneous awful Dropkick spot and bad counters, AJ blind tag runs the smaller guys over, tags out to KC and the Rascalz instantly get the moment. KC is rocked, tags in Laredo and Laredo takes out the System before Lish gets on the apron and grabs Laredo. The referee kicks out Lish and Rehwoldt on commentary points out it’s a No DQ match so that’s dumb.
KC gets tossed at AJ, he catches him, Rascalz Dive and do their taunt as we go to commercial. We come back, Tennessee Whiskey into a KC tag in for the near fall on Laredo. Corner combo, Snapmare into Flip Forward Neck Breaker, KC is on a roll. AJ tags Laredo and starts talking crap to KC, they swerve and go Finger Poke of Doom, but it’s not a legal pin. Suddenly tornado attacks, System and Rascalz go for broke, AJ hits the Senton to break the eventual pin, Laredo counters AJ’s Chokeslam attempt. Trey clears out The System, Wentz sends himself and KC over and out, Laredo with a Corkscrew Moonsault, which looked cool but it’s the pile of morons waiting to get hit spot.
AJ hits the Down Payment on Laredo, but Trey blind tagged AJ. Meteora on AJ, Trey pins Laredo and Rascalz win.
Raj Singh vs Mustafa Ali
Raj looks like shit in the gear he came down in…and he wrestles equivalently. I would rather anyone else comeback…give me Anarquia.
Ali murders Raj, Instant Dropkick, Rolling Neckbreaker, Corkscrew Standing Moonsault, it’s not close. Raj tries to counter things but Ali Bellclap, a little Duck the left, connect the right. Raj even does a terrible looking Punch Combo, he’s in bad shape, a bad looking Ushigoroshi, Raj with a sloppy looking something, 450 ends it.
Fire Raj as quickly as you brought him back. You don’t need a comedically pathetic job guy when the roster is like 4 guys getting pushed and everyone else sucks. Stop being stupid. Ali still hates women too.
This Injury Report is the dumbest segment in the history of wrestling. Stop treating fake shit as “serious business”.
ASH by Elegance vs Lei Ying Lee
ASH mocks karate stuff, Lei throws a few Rising Crane kicks as ASH bails and then things slow down a little. But a Pump Kick, Sliding Kick and Low Dropkick cause ASH to cower and claim her tooth broke. It’s a bait to pull Lei into the turnbuckles and them get in a few stomps. Ash keeps Lei in the corner, Suplexes her ankles into the buckles and then Ash throws a few Booty Shots/Hit Attacks then starts a grounded stretch, Lei Headscissors her down, still sells the hips and ankles, but dodges and fires, combination strikes into the 10 Count Down Strikes. T-bone Suplex, into the pinfall, for only two.
Cheapshot into Running Meteora from ASH for two. Ash goes for the Miz Yes Kicks and Lei No Sells and asks for more. Gorgeous Capture Suplex into Thunder Struck and TKO with flair. My baby has a better finish now! Yay!
Mance Warner w/SDL vs Jobber
Hannifan cursing and being pissed at Trick for not even showing but is more entertaining than a squash match. Not that Mance’s offense is bad, but 2 out of 3 job matches is stupid.
.@milanmiracle and @AriannaGraceWWE make history as the first father/daughter tag team in TNA!

Santino Marella & Arianna Grace vs Robert Stone & Victoria Crawford w/Tessa
Marella tries to tie up with Robbie, but he bails and tags out to Victoria so Arianna comes in and aside from Alicia Fox’s silliness, the tie up was decent with Arianna and Victoria. Tessa interferes and the Referee throws her out. Victoria comes back in and aside from a slight miscommunication with how Arianna does her punches, Alicia Fox is making her look…pretty good. Transition moves, okay brawling and Arianna looks amazing in her outfit.
Rob and Santino distract the referee and Victoria hits a Figure Four into her Northern Lights Suplex, only for 2. Arianna finally Back Body Drop to find the tag, Santino and Rob, Santino does his split dodge into the Standing Headbutt, Arianna Cross Body onto Victoria. Rob pulls out the ref, then shoves the ref into Santino, Santino into the steps and Arianna attack but Alicia and Lish, the fix is in, Arianna eats the pin.
International Championship: Steve Maclin (c) vs Matt Cardona
A few quick brawl moves, Shoulder Tackles, Strikes, Back Breakers, Cardona does get dumped out and eats a SCUD. Maclin bounces Cardona’s face off the apron and hits an Elbow off the apron to keep Cardona reeling, but a dodged tackle sends Maclin into the steps. Cardona tries to Piledriver Maclin on the ramp, but Back Drop counter, into commercial.
Formulaic commercial etiquette of Cardona still in control, throws Maclin into the ropes, Diving Shoulder Tackle lays both dudes out and they get up by 8. Fighting Spirit spot, Cardona hits ropes and gets hit by Maclin twice, Thesz Press, Ground and Pound, Back Elbow and Olympic Slam has Maclin rolling. Splash into Lariat for two. Maclin has been all gas no brakes. Cardona tries to take a few shortcuts that turns into a Straight Jacket Takedown. Cardona to the top, Maclin cuts him off, Superplex spot. 1-2-kick out!
Maclin goes topside for a Jar Headbutt, Cardona hits the ropes so Maclin crashes into the corner, 2 Reboots connect, the third gets caught, counter into Busaiku Knee, Jar Headbutt. In and out, Cardona uses the middle rope for the Low Blow, Killswitch from Cardona but Maclin kicks out. Cardona dodges and shoves Maclin towards the ref, he puts the brakes on, Radio Silence! 1-2-Kick out! Maclin catches a top rope move, Power Bomb, Corner Splash, Tree of Woe, Caught in the Crosshairs, KIA and Maclin retains!
Overall Score: 4.5/10
Boring paint by numbers show, no Trick, System has one move, Robert Stone is a scumbag, too long to introduce new girls, lots of throw away segments and Rosemary sets up YET ANOTHER Monster’s Ball match. These aren’t interesting when there’s one every 3 months. So we can have terrible Monster’s Ball matches quarterly, Barbed Wire Massacre and Clockwork Orange House of Fun…BUT NO LOCKDOWN!?
Go home TNA, you’re drunk.

The Rogue Luchador still has that target on his back, not only because he could go to the finals with his win and Yoh’s loss, but because he is THE IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion.

And CHOPS again! Despy “falls over” and that puts on more pressure! Eagles flails while Despy just lounges. Eagles crawls over, pushes Despy out of his way, and has the ROPEBREAK!
The fans applaud and Red Shoes calls the break. Despy claims he needs help, but Eagles fires hands! Despy lets go, but he kneels on the bad leg! Eagles has the ropes again, Red Shoes counts, and Despy finally stands. Eagles crawls away, but he refuses to let Red Shoes stop this. Despy drags Eagles up but Eagles fires body shots and forearms!

Well, to clarify, the legs are usually the target, but Despy gets his knees up to jam Eagles! Both men are down and the fans rally up again. Eagles and Despy stir, then crawl for each other. They go forehead to forehead, then rise up to go forearm for forearm! The fans rally as the shots go back and forth! Despy slaps his leg into working, ROCKS Eagles, and then stands.

The Bone Soldier fails, and now Desperado is NOT going to the finals! Desperado will now be on the outside looking in, waiting for his next challenger.
Speaking of which, Kosei Fujita now makes his way out here to be face to face with Yoh. Yoh holds the ropes open for Fujita to step into the ring. Fujita and Yoh get face to face, and Fujita points at the tag title on Yoh’s shoulder, because he also wants that belt. Yoh knows, since he and Wato took it from Fujita & Eagles. But Yoh dismisses Fujita, they’ll meet again on June 1st. Yoh then takes up the mic to tell Fujita, “Ya bastard… I’ll show you true chaos! Now, just one more win. In Ota, the best wind will blow.” Yoh drops the mic to leave it at that. Will that wind be the winds of change? Or will Yoh fail to bring down The Mighty Japanese Young Punk?
Here are the FINAL B Block standings!
YOH: 6-3, 12 points [FINALIST]
El Desperado: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
MAO: 6-3, 12 points [ELIMINATED]
Taiji Ishimori: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie Eagles: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
SHO: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Nick Wayne: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Kevin Knight: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Titan: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ryusuke Taguchi: 3-6, 6 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
A great night to wrap round nine and therefore the round robin portion. No repeat BOSJ finalists, which is actually great because now we’ve got a fresh match-up. Taguchi VS Knight was still a great match for not affecting outcomes, and Knight gets to return to AEW with a win. The flipside is Titan gets a win over Nick Wayne, I really do think it books itself, Nick VS Titan for the ROH World TV Championship on Grand Slam: Mexico. Christian Cage can even be condescending to Nick over how Nick didn’t make it to the finals, adding to that feud. Nick can beat Titan in the rematch, then get in Christian’s face to make a match for All In: Texas, or at least Supercard of Honor where ROH titles should be showing up anyway.
Great stuff with Mao and his team against Sho and the House of Torture. I was pleasantly surprised that Mao won, and I wonder if the House of Torture goes to a DDT Pro show to battle it out with Strange Love Connection. Mao winning also added great drama to the remaining matches, Despy VS Eagles was awesome stuff, probably the actual best match of the night. Yoh VS Taiji wasn’t quite as hot going by the crowd, but Yoh getting the win to shut the door on Despy was good. Yoh VS Fujita will be great, a bit hard to call, but that makes it fun.
My Score: 9/10
