PLAY BY PLAY
Brock Lesnar is here!
Philly just became Suplex City as The Beast and Paul Heyman walk out on stage. Lesnar lets Heyman hold up the WWE World Championship as Lesnar cues the pyro. They then go to the ring, but we see the Hurt Business watching back. Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin are excited to see Lashley have the match. But Lashley says there is no Hurt Business, Lashley works alone. So they can get out of here. Alexander & Benjamin leave, but will this come back to bite the Rocky Mountain Machine? Back to the ring, Heyman has the mic to give the introductions. And as the Advocate, Heyman has the honor of introducing us to the reigning, defending, undisputed, WWE Heavyweight Champion of the World, BRRROCK! LENSARRR!
Lesnar’s fired up just hearing that! “Phila-freakin-delphia! I can’t believe we’re back!” But before Lesnar can say more, the All Mighty interrupts! No more just watching, Lashley and MVP stand on stage, then head to the ring. MVP gives an introduction of his own as it is his honor to present the All Mighty Lashley! Lashley takes off the sunglasses to look Lesnar in the eye. Lashley says it is an honor to finally stand in the ring with Lesnar. And it is an honor to be able to share the spotlight with him. “And as one super athlete to another super athlete, it’s an honor to be able to look you right in the eye. And with all due respect, tell you that for twenty years, you have been ducking and running from me!”
With all due respect, Lesnar says it is an honor to be in the ring with himself. And Lesnar apologizes, but for the last twenty years, he’s been winning titles in this ring, and in other rings. So that doesn’t fall on Lashley, that falls on him. Lesnar had no clue who Lashley was until Day 1. It is on Lashley that he didn’t enter the same arenas Lesnar did. Because if Lesnar had already met Lashley, Lesnar would’ve already beaten him and we wouldn’t be in this spot right now. Also, these guys are dressed really fancy! What’s the thread count on MVP’s suit?
Oh, Lesnar’s a comedian, huh? Well at the Royal Rumble, when Lashley wins that title, he and NMVP will be in the front row for Lesnar’s first show. As a comedian, Lesnar’s funny. Yeah, he’s funny and he’s money. Paulie, knock knock! Wow, Lesnar doing a knock knock joke in Philly. Just when you think you’ve seen it all. Alright, then. Who’s there? Bobby. Bobby who? Exactly. Lashley fakes a laugh, but not for long. Lesnar tells Lashley that it is impossible to beat Lesnar. It is even more impossible to beat Lesnar when you’re a Lesnar wannabe! Lesnar drops the mic, but we all know this is far from over! Will Lashley prove to Lesnar exactly who he is at the Rumble?
But then Benjamin and Alexander attack! Lashley fights them off all on his own! He clotheslines Benjamin out, then gives Alexander a MILE HIGH SPINEBUSTER! Lashley throws off his jacket, goes out after Benjamin, and POSTS him! Then he gets Alexander up to THROW him into barriers! Lashley then drags Alexander up to POST him, too! And all that in a turtleneck! If this wasn’t a display of power to make Lesnar worry, what can Lashley do to make the Beast fear the All Mighty?
Riddle recites a mantra.
“Summon your inner viper. Summon your inner viper.” Randy Orton snaps him out of it. Riddle says he is trying to transcend to a higher plane of enlightenment. Well, whatever he does on his own time is up to him. But there’s no free time. They lost to the Alpha Academy because Riddle didn’t tag Orton in. But now, they have a second chance, only with higher stakes. They must defend the tag titles against an Olympian and a tree trunk. So if Riddle gets lost out there, Orton has a pen. Randy, this is no time for Pictionary, bro! No, Orton will give Riddle a quick little note on how to figure things out. Wow, he has good handwriting. Shut up. “Tag in Randy.” Got it? Good. Let’s go.
Wait… Orton is sure Riddle wants to say something, so say it. Riddle says after the win, they should go out for cheesesteaks. After all, they’re in Philly. But is Orton more a Pap’s or Gino’s kind of guy? Orton sighs, and says Gino’s. Sweet! Will these two stay golden to go get some sweet Philly cheesesteaks? Or will they be turned into ground beef by “Master” Gable and #4pointOtis?

Gable tries a lateral press, Riddle moves around, Gable gets around but Riddle switches for a mat slam! Grammy roll into the ropes, and the ref has them break. Gable and Riddle reset, tie up, and Gable wrenches to a wristlock. Snapmare, chinlock, and Gable grinds Riddle down. Riddle endures, rolls and has Gable’s arm for an omoplata! Gable gets the ropebreak and Riddle lets off fast. The two reset again, and fans rally up for Riddle.
Gable and Riddle tie up but Gable throat chops! “For the Academy!” Gable whips, Riddle goes up and over to ROUNDHOUSE Gable down! BROTON to Gable’s back! Gable bails out, Riddle goes to the apron, PENALTY KICK! And then springboard FLOATING BRO! Direct hit at the ramp and Riddle is all fired up! Riddle does his best Orton pose, so Orton joins in, and Philly fires up as Raw goes to break.

Damian Priest speaks.
The Archer of Infamy debuted in the Rumble and made an immediate impact. So how does he upstage that? “By winning the whole damn thing.” The WWE US Champion is in the Royal Rumble! He’ll still be US Champion by then, but what other title will he be looking to take?
The Street Profits and Damian Priest meet up backstage.
They’re all going to be in the Rumble, every man for themselves. But tonight, they’re happy to have each other’s backs. They go back like four flats on the Cadillac. And they’re fired up to be in Philadelphia! Plus, what side are they dealing with? Damian, the guy they’ve gotta stay out of the way of? Or Priest, the good side, not they want to offend. But they will bring the Solo cups, is Priest gonna take in the partay? Absolutely hand him a cup! As far as sides, Ziggler, Roode & Apollo have a beating coming from both sides. And since they’re all here, it’s time for one final beat down. Go ahead and tell ’em why. Because the Profits are UP! And #WeWantTheSmoke!
Bianca Belair speaks.
“Last year, I proved exactly why I’m the greatEST, the strongEST, the toughEST, and I not only won the Royal Rumble, but I main evented WrestleMania and walked out SmackDown Women’s Champion. And Becky Lynch, your 26 seconds of fame are coming to an end.” Because last year, she walked out as champion, but this year, she’s walking into WrestleMania as Raw Women’s Champion. After she wins tonight’s Triple Threat, she’ll see Becky at the Royal Rumble, where Big Time gets beat by the EST.
Six Man Tag: Damian Priest & The Street Profits VS The Dirty Dawgs & Apollo Crews w/ Commander Azeez!
Raw returns as Priest joins the Profits in the ring. Ziggler, Roode and the Pride of Nigeria are already there, and the trios sort out. Apollo and Ford start, they tie up and Apollo gets around to CLUB and whip Ford to a corner. Ford goes up and over and shows off the agility before he dropkicks Apollo down! Cover, ONE!

Apollo gets in but Priest DECKS him! Priest hits a back elbow on Roode, a back elbow on Ziggler, then he suplexes Ziggler, only for Roode to save him. Priest dodges Roode, Ford ENZIGURIS Roode down!

Seth Rollins is here!
The Visionary swaggers his way to the ring after being named #1 contender to the Universal Champion. He’ll surely talk about that and more, after the break.
Raw returns and Rollins has the mic. “I am in a great mood tonight, Philly~! And I’ll tell you why! It’s because the Royal Rumble is on the horizon! And you may be asking, ‘Seth, why? Why are you so excited for the Royal Rumble? Is it because Bobby Lashley and Brock Lesnar, two nincompoops with the combined brain power of a teaspoon, are going to punch each other in the face until one of them falls over?'” Nope! Then is it the 30 men and 30 women throwing each other over the top rope for a chance to become immortal at WrestleMania? That’s good, but no. The truth is, Rollins is excited because it is the night where he will become the NEW Universal Champion!
Yes! At the Royal Rumble, it’ll be the Visionary VS the Tribal Chief! The revolutionary VS the Head of the Table! Brother VS Brother, Roman Reigns VS Seth Freakin’ Rollins! And you may be asking now, “How?” After Rollins got screwed out of a Day 1 singles match, how did he get this Universal Championship match? Did he get an Advocate/ A special counsel? No. Rollins doesn’t need a Penguin looking snake oil salesman to do that for him. Rollins took matters into his own hands as Seth Freakin’ Rollins! There are few things in life that are certain: death; taxes; and Seth Rollins beats Roman Reigns!
But here comes Big E! “This is incredible news! I am so excited, I am so thrilled for you. In fact, sir, I am as excited as Gritty after a big Flyers win!” Rollins likes the sound of that! But first, what the hell is a Gritty? He simply doesn’t know. But forget that question. Why is Big E so excited for Rollins? Well of all the world title combatants, Rollins is Big E’s favorite! Big E put a whole “psalm book” down on Rollins. For Big E has put his name in the Royal Rumble match! Of all the things Big E could dream about and fantasize about, close to the very top is doing what Big E intended to do at Day 1, but at the Show of Shows, WRESTLEMANIA~! And what’s that?
That, dear Rollins, is for Big E to beat Rollins and walk out as champion. Rollins laughs and says Big E can dream and all. Rollins could put a psalm book on Big E, too. But it doesn’t matter if it’s Day 1, Day 400, Day 3000, WrestleMania Day, Big E doesn’t stand a chance. Interesting. Because Big E was just thinking they could test that out here tonight. Well, uh, Rollins isn’t so sure. Fans boo but Rollins says he’s just not ready. Maybe next week, in a better town, like in the Midwest. Big E says that is a shame. But let’s not just do it tonight. Let’s do it… right now! Rollins says Big E is putting him on the spot! He wants Big E VS Rollins here and now? YOU’RE ON!
Rollins and Big E throw off their jackets, the ref gets in the ring, it’s happening!
Big E VS Seth Rollins!
The two circle, tie up, and Big E headlocks. Rollins powers up and out, things speed up, Rollins dropkicks! Big E stays up, things keep moving, Big E hurdles and he catches Rollins for a Belly2Belly! Big E just keeps moving, but Rollins gets up to BOOT him! Big E comes back, Rollins sends him out and then DIVES! Direct hit and down goes Big E! Rollins hurries back in, he runs and Big E CLOBBERS him! Big E drags Rollins out of the ring, puts him on the apron by hard came, and fans fire up as they get a good look at the APRON SPLASH!! Big E is all fired up as Raw goes to break!
Raw returns and Big E SMACKS Rollins off the desk! Big E puts Rollins back in the ring, drags him up, and whips him to ropes. Rollins kicks back, CHOPS, then CHOPS again. Big E swings, but Rollins gets around to a waistlock. Big E pries free, back drops Rollins, then whips him into the corner! Rollins tumbles up, back down, and then into another whip. Rollins goes up but gets caught! He slips out to CHOP BLOCK, then basement DDT! Fans rally as Big E bails out but Rollins aims from the apron. Rollins leaps, FLYING KNEE takes Big E down! Rollins puts Big E in, climbs up the corner and leaps, another FLYING KNEE! Cover, TWO!
Rollins is annoyed but he takes a deep breath. Rollins clubs Big E with crossface forearms, then clamps on a chinlock. Big E endures, fans rally again, and Rollins leans his weight on the hold. Big E gets a second wind, throws elbows, but Rollins CLUBS him and CHOPS him. Rollins storms in at the corner for a forearm smash! Rollins runs corner to corner, but into the Urenag-E! Big E powers up and he rallies with big clotheslines! He dodges Rollins but Rollins headbutts the Belly2Belly away! Rollins runs, but is dumped out to the apron! Big E runs to SPEARS Rollins off the apron! Both men are down, fans lose their minds, and Big E clutches his arm as Raw goes to break!
Raw returns again and Rollins has Big E down with another chinlock. Big E fights up as fans rally, and Big E arm-drags free! Big E blocks the Slingblade and shoves Rollins, to then OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! And another OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! And then the SIDE Belly2Belly! Fans fire up, Big E swivels them hips and runs, BIG SPLASH! Big E claps it up and fans join in, “NEW! DAY ROCKS!” Big E scoops, Rollins slips out and baits Big E into a corner. Rollins runs in, but he counters the Urenag-E with an arm-drag! ROLLING ELBOW! Rollins tries but Big E blocks the suplex, to suplex Rollins!
Rollins slips out, waistlocks, but Big E bucks him away. Rollins ducks the punch to PELE! Roll up, TWO! SUPERKICK! Cover, TWO! Rollins goes to the corner, climbs up top, FROG SPLASH! Cover, TWO!! Big E survives but Rollins gets up. Big E sits up, Rollins aims from the corner. Rollins runs in, but Big E pops him up for a POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO, to a STRETCH MUFFLER! Rollins endures, hammers Big E’s head, and gets the ropes! Big E yanks Rollins up, Rollins fights the back suplex with elbows! Rollins runs, ducks and dodges, into a SCRAPBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Big E is frustrated but he works to focus.
Fans rally up, “This is Awesome!” and Big E sees Rollins on the apron. Big E runs, but into a KNEE! No spear this time! Rollins goes up, Big E ROCKS him first! And again! Big E hops up, brings Rollins onto his shoulder, but Rollins fights free to throw down elbows! Rollins headbutts Big E away, adjusts, and leaps, but Big E gets under! Tilt-o-whirl scoop, Rollins slips out and kicks low! Rollins hooks the arms, Big E powers out, but Rollins BOOTS and ROLLING ELBOWS! DREAM SMASHER ELBOW! CURB STOMP!! Rollins pushes Big E over to the cover, Rollins wins!!
Winner: Seth Rollins, by pinfall
The Powerhouse of Positivity couldn’t withstand that last string of attacks, and the Visionary stands tall! Will Rollins find a way to do this to Roman Reigns come the Royal Rumble?
Nikki A.S.H. and Rhea Ripley head to the ring!
The former WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions are in Philly, and fans have great cardboard cutouts of them! Nikki and Rhea are going to be in the Women’s Rumble, what will they have to say about the known field of competitors after the break?
Raw returns and Sarah is in the ring with them to ask them about how their unexpected tag team has an announcement. Nikki and Rhea are officially challenging for a rematch for the tag titles! Uh, no, that’s not what they talked about. Well, then it doesn’t seem they’re on the same page. Many have wondered what was next for the team. Has this partnership run it’s course? Rhea wants to speak but Nikki cuts her off, saying what Rhea means to say is that of course it hasn’t. Actually… Rhea says they shouldn’t talk about this out here. No, they’re going to do it here and now. Nikki gets another mic so they can have a conversation.
Nikki wants to talk the future of the team. What is Rhea doing? Is she going to break them up? Rhea says they had a great run, it’s just time. But teaming together brought out the best in both of them. Yeah, but Rhea is ready- Is this about the tag titles? They’ll get them back! And then they’ll show everyone how great they still are! It’s not about the titles, Nikki. Then what is it…? Oh, okay. Does Rhea think she’s better just because Nikki got pinned? No, Rhea never said that. But she was thinking it! Did it ever occur to Rhea that Nikki did Rhea the favor by staying by her side? That’s what friends through! Even when one is better in the ring.
Rhea never said she was better in the ring. Nikki was talking about herself! What? But it’s so nice to know where Rhea’s head is at. Rhea doesn’t like where this is heading, so she’s leaving. So she’s just walking out on Nikki? Fine. No, but Nikki is making Rhea feel uncomfortable. So for now, let’s just say good-bye. Rhea offers a handshake, hoping to keep this amicable. Nikki says fine, if Rhea doesn’t want to be a teammate anymore, fine. But Nikki can’t shake Rhea’s hand until Rhea tells Nikki that she still believes in Nikki. Rhea has always believed in Nikki and always will. But it was that Nikki believed in herself. So with or without Rhea, Nikki needs to keep believing in herself.
Nikki gets a bit choked up, and Rhea isn’t sure what to do now. Nikki asks if Rhea means that. They can still be friends? Rhea and Nikki hug it out. Nikki and Rhea then fist bump, but Nikki CLOBBERS Rhea! Nikki rains down on Rhea with hammering fists and forearms! Nikki leaves, but is she still Almost a Super Hero? Or becoming Almost a Super Villain?
Dana Brooke and Reggie meet up.
Two of the best Philly cheesesteaks. Wait, something seems off. Reggie’s got like a Spidey Sense about the 24/7 Championship. R-Truth is wheeling up, and then the ref appears! Reggie was right! They throw the cheesesteaks at Truth and Akira Tozawa, but miss and hit Tamina! Tamina is furious, and she knocks the trash barrel over with Tozawa inside! Is Tamina’s rage going to rip into everyone until she gets that belt from Dana?
Omos walks the halls.
But Reggie bumps into him! Reggie apologizes, but Omos lifts him up! Dana demands Reggie put him down! Omos dares her to make him. Dana still shouts at Omos, and he drops Reggie. Omos tells them to watch what he does tonight, because then next week, he’ll do worse to Reggie!
“Doudrop” Piper Niven speaks.
“All last year, Bianca Belair and Liv Morgan cut in front of the line and wasted opportunity after opportunity. But this is a new year, and I’m going to show those two crybabies that their biggest mistake was overlooking me.” Bianca thinks Piper is a detour? The reality is, Bianca’s Piper’s detour on the way tot he title. Becky better not get too comfortable because Piper will see Becky. And then 2022 will be the year The Man gets Doudropped.
Omos VS Nick Sanders!
Raw returns and Omos already towers over his opponent, who is literally shaking in his boots. The ref explains the basic rules, Omos mocks the other guy’s height. The bell rings, Sanders runs but bounces off Omos! Omos stands on Sanders’ foot, then he clamps on a choke grip! DEADLIFT and TOSS! Omos runs in to SQUASH Sanders in the corner! Omos says this is far too easy. Omos hauls Sanders up again, pops him up to a fireman’s carry and a trophy lift for a COLOSSAL DROP! Reggie is watching backstage and is freaking out as Omos clamps onto Sanders again. Omos drags Sanders up by his head, then uses both hands for the COLOSSAL SLAM! Cover, Omos wins!
Winner: Omos, by pinfall
Sanders never stood a chance! Omos beat the Phenomenal AJ Styles, he crushed this kid here, will Reggie just be another victim?
Edge is here!
Philly is ready to get Rated R! The Cutting Edge returns, and the Glamazon with be the special guest, after the break.
Raw returns and Edge is in the ring with a mic. “Hello, Philly~! It is so good to be back in the city of fighters.” And his guest is the most intelligent, gorgeous, vivacious, curvacious guest he’s ever had. And in three weeks, he and his guest face Miz & Maryse in “The It Couple VS The Grit Couple,” so without further ado, welcome WWE Hall of Famer, Edge’s wife, the woman with thighs that could crack coconuts, BETH PHOENIX! Beth makes her way out and joins Edge in the ring. Now, they’re married, and are raising two spectacular little girls. But at Day 1, that was the first time the fans got to see them really interact. At the Royal Rumble, they’re going to do some damage!
Edge wants Beth to remind everyone how much ass she really kicked in this ring. If this was the 1970s, Beth would be on the Broad Street Bullies. She’d be shoulder to shoulder with Dave “The Hammer’ Shultz! And just like the Flyers collected cups, these two have collected 35 championships together! More than any other couple in history, including Miz & Maryse. They’re also the only couple in the WWE Hall of Fame. Plus, Beth is a wrecking machine! Enough of Edge flapping gums about it, roll footage.
The video package plays, with Trish Stratus saying Beth is strong, beautiful, Natalya says Beth inspired her. Bianca Belair knows Beth was doing groundbreaking things as a woman wrestler. She was never afraid to be who she is. Rhea was also inspired, as was Charlotte Flair. Edge is so proud of Beth! But the floor is hers. She’s amazed by that video, too. She isn’t sure if Edge is buttering her up for later tonight, but uh, flattery will get you everywhere. But down, boy, put a pin in that. Tonight, Beth talks business. That video was just a sampling of the platter Beth has set out for Maryse.
The entitlement, the bragging, and the verbal diarrhea from Miz just has to stop! At the Royal Rumble, Edge & Beth finally shut their mouths for good! But speaking of, here come Miz & Maryse to crash the show! Miz has a mic to say, “Hello, Filthy-delphia.” After looking at the crowd, Miz stands with Ben Simmons. He, too, would give up $33 MILLION just to not play here! Have they seen themselves?! And hello, Edge. Miz thought Edge would try to slander the It Couple and make fans believe they’ll beat “the holy hell” out of them. But at Day 1, Miz had Edge beat until Edge used his wife to win! What kind of man does that?! Fans shout, “YOU!”
Edge says that’s rich, Miz used Maryse to avoid a Spear. SLANDER! Edge does realize Maryse is the finest talent to ever put on boots. And Miz’s inside sources here say that Edge & Beth were preparing that highlight video, so Miz has one of his own to show how much BETTER Maryse is! Miz narrates it himself, though. She is the symbol of status and grace. Her stunning debut in the Diva’s Search to the ascent to the top, to finding love with Miz and becoming the WWE’s It Couple. Maryse has always been a beacon of beauty, a paragon of posh, and the embodiment of elegance. She and Miz will lay waste to Beth & Edge! Through the power of their love, Miz & Maryse are unbeatable!
Miz applauds, Philly boos. Miz asks if they realize how big of a star Maryse is? Do they understand how lucky they are to see her live and in person? How Edge & Beth should be honored to even be in the same ring as her?! Edge knows Maryse is a former champion and busted her but to prove everyone wrong, same as Miz. Edge respects them. They’re not taking away from her career. But Beth can deadlift a Buick. She can smash things, mostly people, and if Edge had to face her, he’d have the same look on his face as Maryse. And interesting timing. Suddenly, Maryse is so shy. She’s had no problem hitting Edge from behind when Beth wasn’t around.
But now that Beth is here, Maryse is like a little mouse. The time for apologies is long gone. At the Rumble, Beth is going to wreck Maryse, and every person in the arena will be chanting, “Auvoir.” Oh, really? Beth wants to speak Francais to them, then go ahead! Maryse, tell Beth how bad you’re gonna beat her! How Beth will wish she stayed retired! Tell- Wait, where is Maryse going? Beth tells Miz that before he high tails it outta here, one more thing: If Maryse is too afraid to show up, and if Edge doesn’t get to him first, Beth will take great pleasure in knocking Miz’s teeth in. Miz has no comeback, will there be nothing the It Couple can do to stop the Grit Couple?
Backstage interview with Austin Theory.
Kevin Patrick says Theory goes 1v1 with the Phenomenal AJ Styles tonight, with a big chance at major momentum going into the Royal Rumble. Theory says he also has a chance to impress Mr. McMahon. And Vince reminded Theory that Styles is one of the most decorated stars in the WWE. We can all say it, too: he’s a future first ballot Hall of Famer. But tonight, Theory beats Styles, and Vince will have no doubt but to continue to invest in Theory. Did Vince have any other words of encouragement? Yeah, that Theory shouldn’t screw this up.
AJ Styles VS Austin Theory!
If it isn’t one young upstart, it’s another! Omos physically dominated Styles, NXT’s Grayson Waller is trying to play mind games, will Vince’s new pet project look to take advantage of all this and get the most phenomenal win of his career? Or can Styles start a comeback that’s even more amazing?
The bell rings and Styles ties up with Theory, Theory mule kicks, throws hands, but Styles puts him in the corner to CHOP and CHOP. Styles whips, Theory goes up but Styles stays back to scoop and BACKBREAKER! Styles brings Theory up but Theory ROCKS Styles, puts him in a corner and hits a clothesline! Theory goes to the apron, he shoves Styles down and slingshots to STOMP, then deadlift suplexes! Cover, TWO! Theory clamps on a rear bearhug but Styles fights up. Styles fights free with elbows but Theory knees low. Theory whips, Styles dropkicks him out of the ring! Styles slingshots, Theory gets in but Styles slips under.
Theory throws Styles back out, then somersault DROPKICKS Styles off the apron! Theory says he’s the Phenomenal One now, and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Styles CHOPS Theory to a corner, then CHOPS him more. Styles whips corner to corner, Theory reverses but Styles BOOTS back. Styles runs but into a kick! Theory suplexes, Styles slips out and fires off the Phenomenal Blitz! Theory is down, Styles runs for basement forearm! Styles suplexes Theory, lets him land on his feet for a NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Styles drags Theory back up, CLUBS him down, and reels him in. But Theory slips out, Styles ducks the haymaker but not the back elbow! AOI SHODOU from Theory! Cover, TWO!! Styles survives and Theory grits his teeth.
Fans rally, but Theory looms over Styles and brings him up. Fireman’s carry, but Styles gest to the apron! Styles ROCKS Theory, takes aim and fans fire up! Springboard, but Waller is here?! Waller trips Styles up to CLOBBER him!
Winner: AJ Styles, by disqualification
Waller stomps Styles, Theory gets his phone, an Theory makes his introductions before taking the victory selfie. Waller then gets Styles up, but Styles hits back! He bounces Waller off apron, off desk, and then puts him in the ring! Waller runs for it, but he has less than 24 hours left! Will Styles make the 21st Century Success Story regret ever calling him out?
Kevin Patrick interviews Grayson Waller.
Would he like to comment on the underhanded tactics he just used to get the upper hand? Underhanded? Nothing was underhanded there. Waller just gave Styles a preview of tomorrow night’s NXT main event. The Phenomenal One is going to be overtaken by the Grayson Waller Effect.
Liv Morgan speaks.
“I know what it’s like to come so close to victory that you can almost taste it. That’s what happened to me at Day 1.” Liv won’t stop giving it her all. So it may be a new year, but she has the same attitude that got her to the title. When she wins this Triple Threat, she won’t just come close, she’ll finally win the Raw Women’s Championship! But speaking of…
Becky Lynch heads to the ring!
The Man holds up the title while wearing her GOAT jacket, because she wants to watch this main event up close and personal. What will her reaction be to tonight’s Triple Threat?
Alexa Bliss… is in therapy?
She sits and stares at her psychiatrist while the Newton balls clack clack. She looks at them, and they stop… Dr. Scubel welcomes Alexa and asks she take deep breaths. She lets out groaning exhales then giggles. Now, the first step to recovery is admitting there is a problem in the first place. Oh, right. She is melodramatic as she asks he fix her. Well there is no doubt she’s been through a lot of trauma, but time for healing. He will show her things and will gauge her reactions. Before he can say how long it’ll take, he needs to know where she is right now. Video plays of what Charlotte did to Alexa’s doll, Lily. Alexa, how does this make you feel?
She forces a smile, sits up, and takes a glass. It makes her feel thirsty. Well okay. She fills the glass, and then lets it spill over. And then she dumps the pitcher out. Then s he grabs the doctor’s tie and asks how he feels. Not great. Shame. Because she feels pretty dandy. She throws the pitcher against the wall, tips the table over, and then grabs a notebook. If the first step is admitting she has a problem, then she definitely has a problem! Go ahead and write about it! Breathe- Right. Breathe in, then out. And as she exhales, she smashes more things in his office! There’s a line, Alexa! She throws the flowers, then she shrieks! Will this road back be darker than the doctor expected?
Raw returns and Becky is in the ring.
She has a mic to say, “Welcome to the Big Time! Now, we got three women back there who are about to come out for a big time Triple Threat match. Each woman fantastic in their own right. You’ve got tenacious Liv Morgan, who won’t back down even though she really should. You’ve got Bianca Belair, who has undeniable strength. About as undeniable as how quickly I beat her at SummerSlam, huh? And then, and then you’ve got Doudrop. Now, I have to give respect to a fellow Celt for going out to take what she wants.” And with such great competitors, anything can happen. They all have notions of grandeur! That finally, they will overthrow Becky!
Yes, a battle for the ages. All fighting for the right to one day tell their grandkids that they lost to Big Time Becky Lynch! And with that said, Becky will lend her talents to the commentary team, so go ahead and bring out the three. “Have fun fightin’ for me, babes.”
Raw Women’s Championship Triple Threat: Liv Morgan VS Bianca Belair VS “Doudrop” Piper Niven!
Becky reviews how many times she’s beaten Liv and Bianca, but she may have to do it all over again at the Rumble. Or, Piper could get the biggest win of her career yet as she Doudrops the past to become The Man’s future. We find out who gets that golden ticket to St. Louis, after the break!
Raw returns and the bell rings. Bianca, Liv and Piper all start throwing hands! Piper headbutts Liv down, headbutts Bianca, then headbutts Liv again! BIG back suplex for Bianca, then Piper goes to bring her up. Bianca throws Piper out of the ring, but Piper drags her out. They scrap, but Liv SLINGSHOTS to take them both down! Liv fires up, puts Bianca back in, covers, TWO! Fans rally, Bianca shoves Liv and CLOBBERS her! Bianca runs, Liv drops, Bianca handsprings to tell Liv to kiss this. Things keep moving, Liv leaps and RANAS, but Bianca rolls to a corner. Liv runs in, Bianca dodges to RAM into Liv!
Bianca climbs up, rains down hands, but Piper runs in. Bianca leaps over, and adds Piper to the pile! But Piper powers up to bring Bianca away! Bianca fights free, dropkicks Piper into the corner, and Liv gets Bianca for a back suplex! Bianca lands on her feet, back suplexes Liv down, but Piper SPLASHES onto them both! Becky is amazed by that, and Piper drags Bianca up. Piper CLUBS Bianca, scoops her, then hits the MICHONOKU DRIVER! Piper then runs at Liv but Liv BOOTS her! Liv goes up, leaps, but Piper blocks rana for an ELECTRIC CHAIR SLAM onto Bianca! Double cover, TWO!!
Piper grows frustrated, but she keeps on Liv with a cobra clutch. Liv endures, fans rally up, and Becky can’t fault Piper for taking what she wants. Becky really isn’t sure how she’d do against Piper, but she’d still win. Liv fights up, Piper ripcords and whips Liv to the corner, for a SPLASH! Piper runs in to CANNONBALL, but only gets buckles as Liv dodges! Liv goes up to double stop, but Piper doesn’t even budge! Liv keeps trying but Piper tosses her out and Liv hits steel steps on the way down! Piper grits her teeth while Raw goes to break.
Raw returns once again, and Piper fights off the chicken wings to HEADBUTT Bianca down! Piper brings her back up, whips Bianca to a corner and runs in, but Bianca slips out Piper POSTS herself, Bianca goes up, but Liv uses Piper to get up and SUPER STEINER Bianca! O’Conner Roll to Piper, TWO and Liv hits buckles! Bianca runs back in to SPEAR Piper!! Fans fire up while all three women are down! Liv sits up, Bianca goes after Piper but Piper bails out. Bianca and Liv meet, and they start throwing hands! Fans fire up, Bianca shoves then ducks the enziguri to roll up! TWO, RINGS OF SATURN! Liv has Bianca, Bianca is flailing, grabs at Liv’s hair, but Liv throws elbows!
Liv pulls back harder, Bianca keeps pulling at Liv’s hair, but Bianca is still caught at center! Liv throws more elbows, Bianca grits her teeth and powers up! The strongEST and toughEST gets back to her feet! Liv can’t believe it as Bianca swings her around, but into a CODE BREAKER! Liv sees Piper coming, CODE BREAKER! Bianca is up, Liv spins her, WING SNAPPER and a boot into buckles! Liv CLUBS Bianca, gets the arms again and reels Bianca in to hoist her up top. Liv CLUBS Bianca more, climbs up top, but Bianca resists the back suplex! Piper CLUBS them both and Bianca hits POST! Piper brings Liv off the corner, for a POWERBOMB! Cover, EST 450!!
Becky is shocked seeing Bianca breaking that one up, but says it was only “mildly impressive.” Bianca crawls over, covers Piper, TWO! Cover onto Liv, TWO!! Bianca can’t believe it! Bianca says this is hers, and she eggs the others on! She fires off forearms on Piper, then Liv, then SPINEBUSTER for Piper! GlamEST Slam into Piper! Bianca handsprings, for a DOUBLE SPLASH! Bianca gets Liv up, torture rack! KISS OF DEATH!! But BECKY breaks it up!? She throws Bianca out, refusing to let the EST meet her again! Becky throws off her jacket, Bianca gets after her, and the chase is on! Becky swings, Bianca kicks her first! Bianca fires off, but Becky THROWS Bianca over the desk!
Piper capitalizes by putting Liv in a drop zone! VADER BOMB!! Cover, Piper wins!!
Winner: “Doudrop” Piper Niven, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the Raw Women’s Championship)
The Man gets in and grins as she sees her fellow Celt winning. Becky offers a handshake, but then SLAPOS Piper! Becky tires the Man Handle Slam, but Piper is too big and strong for that! Piper throws Becky out of the ring, and now Becky might be realizing the mistake she just made. Is Becky about to get Doudropped big time?
My Thoughts:
A really good Raw, and much better than last week. Still the same problems of recapping, going to commercial just as matches are about to start, stuff like that, but that just seems to be how Vince wants to schedule things out from now on. But at least the things we got this week were all better quality. The interaction between Lesnar and Lashley at the beginning was really good stuff, especially how Lesnar threw the “ducking” thing onto Lashley. He could’ve delivered his last line a bit better but hey, he’s still got the upper hand on Lashley here. I did like that Alexander & Benjamin were back, but bummed that they’re going to be fodder for Lashley as he builds towards the Rumble.
The Raw Tag Team title match was a great opener, and what a shocker that the Academy won! I’m not sure what’s next for RKBRO, but I would love to see what promo they come up with about this loss. And now with the champions being Heels, it opens things up for a Face team like the Profits or Rey & Dominik Mysterio to go after them and perhaps take those titles come Mania. Profits & Priest VS Dawgs & Apollo was good stuff, all these guys will look good in the Rumble but I don’t see them winning it. Perhaps Profits and Dawgs battle, winner to face the Academy, and Apollo can be Priest’s next US Championship challenger.
As for the Women’s Tag Team Division, RIP another team. I was hoping the direction they were going was Nikki changing gimmicks again. Well, she could still do that if she really does change from superhero to supervillain, but as I’ve said before, I was hoping for SAnitY to return. Corey Graves even set it up on commentary with the usual, “insanity is doing the same thing expecting different results.” But now, who is even around to challenge Vega & Carmella? A team from SmackDown forming out of nowhere? Not to be a broken record, but maybe if WWE didn’t cut so many people, we could’ve had Tegan & Shotzi challenging long before this point.
Big E is looking primed to be a Rumble winner after tonight. Rollins gloats about being Roman’s challenger, he has a great match with Big E, and Rollins wins so he has momentum. Big E can use this to motivate himself to win that Rumble, and he’ll have a killer match at Mania no matter who holds the top titles. Omos crushes a jobber, which again would’ve been another great spot for someone WWE cut. Styles VS Theory was going well but I should’ve known Waller would interfere. More heat for their NXT match, maybe it’ll get fans to check it out. Thankfully the only interaction with Theory and Vince tonight was referenced, not shown. Those segments are almost as bad as Happy Talk.
We got a really good segment from the Cutting Edge. That was a really good video to review Beth’s great career in the ring, and Maryse bailing on Miz was such a great moment. I would think the “Grit Couple” still win, but expect Miz & Maryse to pull out all the Heel stops. Alexa Bliss’ “journey back” of course has her still playing Playground Alexa, but it did work with how she was throwing things around the office. She has a grudge against Charlotte, so Alexa will totally be in the Rumble with the sole mission of keeping Charlotte from winning. Honestly, everyone in the Women’s Rumble should be ready for when Charlotte shows up so they can all throw her out.
And lastly, that Triple Threat was a great main event. Good promos to hype it up during the night, and Becky was really good on commentary. I would’ve liked for Becky to let Piper win this outright in a classic opportunistic way. Piper could’ve broken the pin, thrown Bianca into a post, then still hit the Vader Bomb on Liv. But I suppose on one level, this keeps Bianca strong since Becky is why she was out of the running. On another, Bianca also has a lot of Face power going into the Rumble and is a top choice to win. It was also a great moment for Becky to try and swerve Piper, only for it to fail. Piper is going to have an awesome match with Becky, but pretty sure Becky still wins.
My Score: 8.4/10

Best of the Super Juniors 32 A Block: Master Wato VS Yoshinobu Kanemaru!
The Way of the Grandmaster fell in the main event of last round, but he still has a chance to be in the finals! Will he stay alive just a little longer? Or will the Heel Master pour some whiskey on Wato’s dreams?
Well, to start, Kanemaru attacks during Wato’s entrance! The fans boo as Kanemaru kicks and CLUBS Wato! Kanemaru POSTS Wato, Wato falls over, and Kanemaru stomps him down!

Kanemaru chuckles as he holds Wato open, but then he gives the ref one leg so Kanemaru can split the wishbone! Wato flounders, stands, and Kanemaru DROPKICKS the legs out! Kanemaru then grabs a leg to YANK it! Kanemaru stomps Wato more, taunts him, then drags him back up. Kanemaru has the leg for the SHIN BREAKER! And then he turns Wato over, HALF CRAB! Wato endures and the fans rally while Kanemaru sits deep! Kanemaru pulls on the leg, but Wato scrambles to the ROPEBREAK! The fans cheer but Kanemaru won’t let go! The ref counts, Kanemaru finally lets go at 4, and he drags Wato right back up.
Kanemaru whips, but Wato still can’t run that well! Wato tumbles to the apron, then slips to the floor. Kanemaru goes right after Wato to SMASH the knee on the floor! The fans rally for Wato while he writhes but Kanemaru leaves him behind. The ref checks with Wato but Wato won’t let this stop him. The ring counts as Kanemaru waits on Wato. Wato is still down at 10 of 20, just like last time. Wato slowly rises and stands at 16. Wato rolls in at 17 and the fans cheer, but Kanemaru grabs the legs for a FIGURE FOUR! Wato endures, the fans rally, but Kanemaru puts on the pressure! Wato flails, reaches out, and he drags Kanemaru along! ROPEBREAK!!
The fans cheer and Kanemaru makes the ref help him undo the hold. Wato grits his teeth and clutches his leg but the fans still rally behind him. Kanemaru stomps Wato, stomps the leg, then kicks him around. Wato stands to CHOP! And CHOP! Kanemaru KICKS the leg! Kanemaru whips Wato but Wato again falls! The leg is in bad shape but Wato refuses to give up. Wato stands, Kanemaru runs up, but Wato ELBOWS him! And BULLDOGS! The fans fire up as Wato powers through the pain! Wato crawls over to Kanemaru and fires up! The fans rally again and Wato wrenches Kanemaru. Kanemaru fights the Recientemente and goes after that leg!
Kanemaru runs, but Wato blocks the boot to spin and ZIGZAG! The fans fire up, Wato brings Kanemaru up, and Wato wrenches to RECIENTEMENTE! Cover, TWO!! Kanemaru survives but Wato just fires up again! The fans are with him as he waistlocks and TSUTEN- NO, Kanemaru grabs the ref! Kanemaru mule kicks the leg! Then he KICKS the other leg! Then he trips Wato to step through, FIGURE FOUR!! Wato endures, the fans rally as hard as they can, but Kanemaru puts on the pressure! Wato reaches out but he’s so far away! Wato pushes against the main leg, he grabs at the ref, but that won’t save him!
Wait, what is SHO doing here?! The Murder Machine is in B Block, but the House of Torture boys will always help each other cheat! The ref keeps Sho back, but Yujiro Takahashi is also here! Tokyo Pimp slides the whiskey bottle to Kanemaru! Kanemaru CLUBS away on Wato’s leg with that bottle!! The fans boo as Wato can only suffer! Kanemaru puts even more pressure on the hold, and WATO TAPS!! Kanemaru wins!!
Winner: Yoshinobu Kanemaru, by submission (gains 2 points; Wato earns 0)
Kanemaru’s game plan to go after the legs was working well enough, he didn’t need the House’s help! But perhaps Kanemaru wanted to stoop to these lows in order to win! And now Sho & Yujiro help stomp away on Wato! But here comes Yoh! Direct Drive saves his tag partner and runs off The House! He even gets a chair! Yoh wants them to man up, but that’s not happening. But now, with Hiromu Takahashi having beat Wato and issuing the tag title challenge, and now Kanemaru winning tonight… Could we really be seeing such an odd couple as Timebomb & Heel Master going for the tag titles?
Best of the Super Juniors 32 A Block: Kosei Fujita VS Clark Connors!
One down, two to go. Wato is out of the running after Kanemaru cut him off at the knees, so to speak. Will the Japanese Young Punk fight his way into the finals? Or will 100 Proof bring down even the mighty?
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They feel things out, but then Connors KNEES low! Connors CLUBS Fujita, headlocks, but Fujita powers up and out. Connors RUNS Fujita over, the fans are torn, but Connors barks. The fans bark with the War Dog and he runs. Fujita stays low, then bypasses Connors to DROPKICK! The fans cheer while Connors bails out, and Fujita runs. Connors moves aside but Fujita goes to the apron. PENALTY KICK! Fujita sets up, Connors avoids the Asai Moonsault, and Fujita staggers to his feet for the JEEP FLIPPER! Connors tells fans to move so they move! Connors BOWLS Fujita into the chairs! STRIKE!
Connors tells more fans to move, then he drags Fujita up from the chairs. Connors BOWLS Fujita again, not quite a strike but close. Connors picks up the spare by stomping Fujita down. Red Shoes reprimands and wants this in the ring. Connors drags Fujita up and over, but Fujita fires body shots. Connors CLUBS Fujita, then POSTS him! Fujita falls in a heap and the fans rally up. Connors says it is time. He brings out WHEEL-SAN! The fans are torn, Red Shoes reprimands, but Connors shoves him aside! Connors SLAMS Wheel-san onto Fujita’s back!

Winner: Robbie X, by pinfall (gains 2 points; Connors earns 0)
So what if he was the underdog? So what if he’s last place? So what if he replaced Bushi in the block? Robbie X just beat the most decorated Super Junior alive today! And that means the winner of A Block is KOSEI FUJITA! Hiromu is furious, but Fujita walks back out here to have the spotlight! Fujita and Hiromu cross paths, and Hiromu pats Fujita on the shoulder as he exits. Fujita goes to the ring, and Robbie invites him in given Robbie won the main event. Robbie tells Fujita to get this in his little brain: Robbie beat Fujita, he beat Hiromu, so… If Fujita wins this whole thing and beats El Desperado, do what is right!
Robbie wants the first championship match with Fujita! The fans like that, and Fujita nods in agreement. Robbie leaves, will Mr. X have his chance at gold? As for Fujita, he grabs the mic to say, “Sorry to those of you who may have wanted to hear more from Robbie X. But if I’m in the position of naming challengers, then I will give him the first title shot.” The fans applaud, and Fujita continues on. “I won this A Block.” The fans applaud that, too, and Fujita says he’ll take “all the hope, hate and then I’ll win. That’s all!” The Japanese Young Punk keeps it short and sweet, but will the Ichiban Sweet Boy become the Best of the Super Juniors?
Here are the FINAL A Block standings!
Kosei Fujita: 5-4, 10 points [FINALIST]
Hiromu Takahashi: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
Master Wato: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
Francesco Akira: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
Clark Connors: 5-4, 10 points [ELIMINATED]
KUSHIDA: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Ninja Mack: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Dragon Dia: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Yoshinobu Kanemaru: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
Robbie X: 4-5, 8 points [ELIMINATED]
My Thoughts:
An awesome start to the ninth round, and it is always fun to have these final playoff scenarios sort out. Mack VS Dia was great, even for not affecting anything, and I really do hope these two guys become the next big thing. I figured Kanemaru would screw Wato over with help from Sho & Yujiro, and this definitely feeds into the tag title story that involves Hiromu. Fujita overcoming Connors and Robbie X getting the upset on Hiromu was all awesome stuff, and I like the gentlemen’s agreement that Robbie will be the lineal contender should Fujita win the title. B Block is going to be awesome, I’m sure, and there are all sorts of great choices for Fujita’s opponent.
My Score: 9.1/10

Backstage interview with The Fatal Influence.
Sarah Schreiber is with Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne & the returning Jazmyn Nyx. The arguing at Battleground between Fallon and Jacy opened the way to opportunity as now Jacy is facing Stephanie Vaquer for the NXT Women’s Championship in tonight’s main event. Jacy says, “We said we would get it done, that we would get an NXT Women’s Championship match. We just didn’t say how we were gonna get it done. And clearly, all it took was me smacking the taste out of Stephanie’s mouth to get it.” Fallon says personally, it should’ve been her competing, because the last time Jacy stepped in the ring with Stephanie, she lost.
Jacy smiles and says that tonight, she brings gold back to the Fatal Influence since Fallon failed against who? Oh, right, Stephanie! But if Fallon wants to be in Jacy’s corner, fine. If not, also fine. Jacy heads out, Jazmyn is already back in the middle of the squabbling, but will NXT once again be under the Influence? Or will the Toxic Rockstar have a meltdown against La Primera?
Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura are backstage.
The Bullhead Brawler goes over how it was just chair shot after chair shot at Battleground. But didn’t Inamura go back to Japan? He did, but then he came back to NXT for Briggs. Well, that’s such a great surprise. And he has Inamura’s vest! Inamura thanks Briggs, and says he couldn’t leave Briggs like that. There are still things to accomplish. Yes, like becoming NXT Tag Team Champions. Inamura agrees there, and more. Oh, got it! They take out The Culling and set their sights on the tag titles! Yes, and… even bigger! Briggs is intrigued, and says, “Hell yeah.” Could we see Briggs & Inamura start on a Two Man Power Trip?

The High Ryze speaks.
Wes Lee says, “Now y’all know I’ve been a part of something before. Brothers all connected, chasing the same dream, but… Is it possible for that connection to last if the dream’s changed? Not for long. See, the truth is, you can really only trust in yourself. That is, until something real comes along. Tyson Dupont, Tyriek Igwe, brute force and brilliant minds that mirror my conventions.” Tyson says they ain’t chasing greatness, they’re building it brick by brick. Tyriek says everyone wants to live the lifestyle, but the only way you get there is with loyalty. Not to a brand, but to a bond.
Wes says that is how you shatter the glass ceiling. Not by selling out but by buying in, and holding it down with the ones that stand with you. They didn’t fit the mold, so they made their own. And so long as they do that and stay true to the cause, there will only be one outcome: they rise. Will Wes and his new crew soon stand tall over NXT, Evolve, and ALL of the WWE?
Andre Chase speaks with Uriah Connors & Kale Dixon.
Mr. Chase tells his students to stop being overzealous. They’re demanding matches, jumping into action without a plan, and that’s how they got beat up by OTM. Kale says that sucked. Chase agrees. They need to when to seize the moment, but also when to fall back. They need to know when to take risks, but when- Uriah says, “So what you’re saying is that we need to take more risks.” Kale says they can definitely do that. No, that’s not- But Kale & Uriah spot Ava. They want to talk, she says she has a minute so get to it. Mr. Chase wants the boys to take risks and seize the moment, so they wanna do just that!
Ava says okay, she was just looking over the card for next week, and there is still a spot open. They can be in action against… Dark State. Uh oh. D-Dark State? But that’s four of them and two of Chase U… Well, no, it’ll be a Six Man Tag. Take those risks and have fun! Mr. Chase can’t believe what he just got dragged into… Kale says at least they all get to team up. Chase says they’re not a team! What will it take for Mr. Chase to reach these kids?
Luca Crusifino finds Tony D’Angelo backstage.
The Consigliere starts to ask about Battleground, but The Don tells him to sit down. Luca sits at the table, and Tony says we all thought Stacks clipped Luca in the desert. Then Luca shows up in Tampa like he was on vacation, and he just stares Tony down. Luca says he had no idea what to do. Tony doesn’t wanna hear excuses, but Luca says on his mother’s eyes, Stacks drove Luca further out into that desert and just left him there. Luca was just as shocked. Oh, just left him, huh? Then why didn’t he reach out? Well, Rizzo was in hiding, Stacks attacks Tony at the safehouse, and if Luca reached out, he might’ve put them all at risk.
Tony sighs, thinks on it, and says this still doesn’t smell right. Luca says Rizzo’s number was disconnected. After seeing everything going on, Luca had to come back. Tony says okay, so Luca comes back at Battleground, but he costs Tony the match? That was not Luca’s intent! Then what was? No, save it. Tony doesn’t know who to trust right now. Luca says he can be trusted. Is that true? Or is there more than meets the eye to this?
Trick Williams is here!
The fans fire up for the NEW TNA World Champion, and they chant “WHOOP DAT TRICK! WHOOP DAT TRICK!” Trick struts to the ring and grabs the mic to cut his music. “Reporting to you live, the sexiest and most entertaining superstar alive, Hollywood Trick has finally arrived!” Trick says he is making history this time! The fans chant “TRICK N A!” Trick says for the first time ever, and NXT superstar is holding the TNA gold! But add to that: TWO-TIME NXT Champion, ONE-TIME North American Champion, Iron Survivor Winner, let’s talk about it! Nah, forget that! Don’t you start clapping now!
If memory serves, a lot of the ones clapping were also waving their hands from side to side and playing singalong with #AverageJoe! If you were in that, he has one thing to say to you: “Don’t you feel stupid?” The fans are torn, but Trick grins as the “Average Joe!” chant starts. And speaking of average and stupid, why is everyone trying to figure out where’s the line between NXT and TNA? TNA and NXT? DAMMIT, don’t you cross Trick Williams cuz he IS the line! The fans chant “He’s The Line!” Trick says since NXT didn’t appreciate him like they should, he gonna go to TNA, wear this gold nice and proud. It look good, don’t it?
Check who else held this gold before: Kurt Angle; Drew McIntyre; Bully Ray Dudley; AJ Styles! But none of them compare to Trick Williams! Especially not Joe Hendry. So here’s how it goes: He is turning his back on the people cuz they turned their back on him. Yes, you did! You sang along! He remembers! Trick is gonna go to TNA, talk to management, all them who work for Trick now, and they gonna make some changes. Starting with the name! IT is now… TRICK’N A! But wait! Santana makes his way out here! The Standard says, “Big Trick Willy, huh?! The main man on the block, right?” Trick says let’s talk about it.
Santana says hey, he personally wanted to come out here and give him props for Sunday. Trick says he’ll say this. Santana just made his first mistake by interrupting his champion. Oh, first and foremost, let’s get this straight: Trick is NOT Santana’s champion. Second, Trick made a terrible first impression by coming out here as TNA’s champion and trying to tear down TNA. But guess what? TNA been killin’ the game! TNA been gainin’ momentum day after day! And the last thing that Santana is gonna do is sit back and as the man that carries the flag and watch someone else tear it down after what Santana and that TNA locker room have done to build it up!
The fans cheer, and Santana tells Trick, that ain’t happening. Trick tells Santana that obviously, he doesn’t get how things work. But that’s because Santana has never been THE TNA World Champion. So he’ll help Santana out. When you ARE the top champion of your brand, once you have carried that weight, only then can you call the shots! Santana says Trick makes him laugh. But guess what? People like Trick also piss Santana off. Let’s remind Trick, as he obviously needs a refresher… Santana is a loud ‘n’ proud Boricua from the Bronx, baby! The fans cheer that! Santana has seen guys like Trick come and go.
But let Santana be the one to tell Trick, he’s a pretender! Trick is a pretend fighter, a pretend rapper, what with those heels and tight pants. And after last Sunday at Battleground, Trick is a pretend champion! But Santana will tell Trick that Santana is the illest and realest! Trick ain’t ever dealt with someone like him! But to spit facts, Santana will be the man to take that TNA World Championship off Trick! Trick says let’s be real. Santana can keep popping off, but Trick will take off his pepper steppers and beat Santana’s ass! But wait, is that Santino Morella on the tron? He wants everyone to just take it easy, he sees it is getting heated.
And Santana will say this, “Tricky Williams,” congratulations on the victory. But as TNA Director of Authority, he wants Trick to know that he will be a fighting champion. Santino already spoke with Ava, and next week, Trick defends that title against Mike Santana! The fans are fired up already! Trick’s first defense is coming up fast, and Santana offers a handshake. Trick leaves him hanging, but then takes a swing! Santana blocks to throw haymakers! Then he THROWS Trick! The fans fire up as The Standard locks eyes on the belt. Trick says don’t do it, but Santana holds the belt up high! Will Trick’s first defense also be his last?
Ava talks with Stephanie Vaquer.
The NXT General Manager knows La Primera asked for this match tonight, but Ava has to address the rest of what happened at Battleground. At Worlds Collide, Vaquer will have a tag match against Dalys & Chika Tormenta. Ava knows that’s a lot on her plate, but Vaquer needs to find a tag partner. Vaquer thanks Ava for the news, and promises to find a partner. But first, she’ll defend her title. Wait, Lola Vice already volunteers! She’ll totally team with Vaquer. Ava says that’s perfect! Good luck out there. Lola says Vaquer doesn’t need luck to handle Jacy. Will Vaquer rock the Toxic Rockstar to then join Lola in LA?
Tatum Paxley VS Jaida Parker!
Loneliness can be soul crushing, and no one’s soul has been crushed more lately than Tatum’s. But will she use the pain she feels as motivation? Or will Miss Parker give her some physical pain to go along with the emotional?
The bell rings and the two tie up. Jaida powers Tatum to the corner, gets up in her face, but the ref counts. Jaida pushes Tatum, talks trash, but Tatum puts Jaida int he corner! Tatum CHOKES Jaida, Jaida shoves her back and RUNS her over. Things keep moving, Tatum hurdles, then rolls back to victory roll Jaida, TWO! Tatum dodges Jaida, underhooks, and BUTTERFLY SUPLEXES! Jaida flounders, Tatum snarls, and Tatum bumps Jaida off buckles! Tatum goes all three levels, but then Jada reverses. Tatum stops herself, but Jaida hits a BACKSTABBER! Tatum flounders away, Jaida runs up and RAMS into her!
The ref counts as Jaida digs her shoulders in. Jaida puts Tatum in the ropes, CHOPS her, then goes side to side for the TEAR DROP! Jaida high steps it while Tatum flounders, and then Jaida storms back up on Tatum. Jaida KICKS Tatum, ELBOW DROPS, then clamps on with the motorcycle stretch. Tatum endures, the fans rally, but Jaida stands on Tatum. Tatum fights up, turns around, but Jaida sits her back down! Jaida steps over to sit on Tatum! Tatum sputters, Jaida brings her up with a dragon sleeper, but Tatum slips free and O’Conner Rolls! TWO, and Jaida runs up. Tatum dodge sin the corner, rolls Jaida up, TWO!
Tatum jumps up to KNEE SMASH! Jaida staggers, Tatum rallies with forearm after forearm! ENZIGIRI! Jaida sputters, Tatum runs up again, CROSSBODY in the corner! Tatum snapmares Jaida, the fans rally, and Tatum runs to ROLLING AX KICK! Jaida staggers around, and Tatum SHOTGUNS her down! Jaida tumbles out, Tatum wants after her, but the ref holds Tatum back. Jaida sees the doll collection and tags the Gigi! She throws that one in, the ref reprimands and Tatum hurries after Gigi. Tatum cries, but the HIP-NOTIC hits!! Cover, Jaida wins!
Winner: Jaida Parker, by pinfall
That was cold blooded! Jaida uses Tatum’s emotions against her, but wait! THEA HAL is on Jaida! The fans cheer, Jaida gets free, but Thea wants the arm! Jaida scrambles away! Thea wants payback for the unwarranted hip attack last week, will she have her vengeance?
Jasper Troy speaks.
“Who is Jasper Troy? There was never doubt that I was going to win LFG. I’m gonna make an impact in NXT, and it starts tonight.” The LFG Season 1 Champion is ready, but who will “welcome” him to NXT?
Jasper Troy VS Dante Chen!
It would seem the Singapore Superhero is stepping up to this iron wall of a man! Will Troy look to destroy all in his way to the top?
The bell rings, the two tie up, and Troy puts Chen right in a corner. The ref counts, Troy brings Chen around to put on the ropes, but the ref counts again. Troy lets off slowly, but Chen whips. Troy blocks, reels Chen in, but Chen slips under to headlock. Troy powers up, Chen holds tight, so Tory lifts him to put on the apron! The ref counts, Chen lets go, but Troy grabs Chen by the neck! Troy runs Chen side to side but Chen avoids hitting the post! Chen bumps Troy off buckles, climbs up, and he leaps, only for Troy to get under. Chen comes back, Troy scoops him, but Chen slips free. Chen shoves Tory, runs up, but into a BACKDROP!
Troy huffs ‘n’ puffs and he runs up to ALRAIT Chen up and out! The fans fire up, Troy goes outside after Chena, and Troy fireman’s carries. SNAKE EYES off the apron! The fans rally, Troy puts Chen in, and Chen scrambles up. Troy clamps on with a chinlock and thrashes him around! Troy then fireman’s carries to HOTSHOT Chen off the ropes! Chen staggers, Troy SPLASHES him in the corner! Troy scoops for a RUNNING BACKBREAKER! Troy bends Chen back against his knee! But Chen fires knees! Troy shoves Chen down, but Chen UP KICKS! And UP KICKS again! Troy shakes that off, comes back, and he whips.
Chen ducks ‘n’ dodges, then BOOTS Troy! Troy snarls, Chen LARIATS, but Troy stays up. Chen fires a forearm, but Troy stays up. Chen fires hands, and an ENZIGIRI! The fans fire up, Chen runs, but Troy picks him up! Chen kicks off ropes to TORNADO DDT! The fans fire up as Chen BOOTS Troy down! Troy staggers, Chen aims, DOUBLE CHOP! Troy rebounds to BODY CHECK!! Troy roars, the fans fire up, BLACK HOLE SLAM!! Cover, Troy wins!
Winner: Jasper Troy, by pinfall
But wait! Here comes Oba Femi! The Ruler still owes the new guy from a few weeks ago! Oba is in the perch and he tells Troy that he was very impressed. But at least Oba has the decency to show Troy the respect he deserves, unlike Troy did with Oba. Oba says he could have easily come into that ring and jumped Troy from behind, then beat him down like a thief. But Oba would not do that. Troy better enjoy his five seconds of fame, because now that he has Oba’s attention, it is over! The NXT Champion puts Troy on notice, when and where will these titans battle it out?
No Quarter Catch Crew regroups backstage.
Myles says Tavion did great representing NXT against Santana. Tavion thanks Myles for that, then Dempsey and Wren walk in. Dempsey is glad that everyone is here. Tavion and Myles looked strong in their matches, the NQCC is proud. But… They also tried to prove themselves as singles wrestlers and failed. Therefore, the only course left is to refocus as a group. Myles asks, “What?” And no, that’s not cuz he’s hard of hearing. Myles isn’t just going to go backwards after a loss to Oba. Myles proved he belongs on the big stage. Wren says yeah, he did! Myles will not retreat to some shell.
Dempsey says Myles isn’t ready for the deep waters. Uh, Myles actually is, Charlie. No, that’s his youth and inexperience talking. Dempsey brought Myles into the NQCC, and if anyone decides- Myles brings up beating Dempsey. Would that prove he’s ready? Dempsey says that isn’t happening. Well then let’s do it! Just like the good ol’ days, right? Myles VS Dempsey, and if Myles wins, Dempsey lets Myles go. Dempsey says fine, but let’s make it a British Rounds match. Deal. The two shake on it, Myles leaves, and Wren asks Dempsey why he has to do this. But will Dempsey keep Myles under his thumb? Or will Myles use Dempsey’s favorite match against him?
Ethan Page is back in the ring…?
“Ladies and gentlemen, standing before you is arguably the greatest North American to hold the North American Championship, and I ain’t waiting to celebrate! We are celebrating TONIGHT!” The fans boo but wait! Je’Von Evans is here! “Dang, you turnin’ up and didn’t invite me, bro? We got history! I’m still waiting on you to pay for my jaw injury, but congratulations, bro. I can’t think of nobody more underserving to win the NXT North American Championship! Like, if we gonna be deadass, last week, when you poured off on me during the Triple Threat, that cost me. And I couldn’t live with that.
“So, earlier tonight, after you won, I was talking with Ava, and since we have this big showcase with WWE and AAA called Worlds Collide, you, champ, will be defending that precious NXT North American Championship at Worlds Collide against ME, the Young OG!” Ethan says no, no, no, hold on! Je’Von does not DESERVE a shot at Ethan! He deserves to put on a mask, even though he’s not a luchador! Right, right, Worlds Collide isn’t just WWE and NXT, Ethan’s got a lot of people gunning for him. But everybody in NXT knows dat boi BOUNCY~! But… Brother here has hops, too. Wait, LAREDO KID is here!
The fans cheer as AAA’s rising star comes in from the crowd, and he thanks Je’Von for the intro. Laredo Kid says, “Let me introduce myself. I am Laredo Kid, the most complete luchador you will ever see. I have won championships from TNA to AAA, and now… I come for the North American Championship match!” Ethan says hold on, hold on, is this a Triple Threat now? NO! Ethan says tonight is his celebration, and he won’t let these two ruin his night! Je’Von sarcastically says, “Oh~ no~! I forgot, I forgot, my bad. You still going against one more person” What?! REY FENIX?!?
The fans fire up as the Firebird says it is good to be here in NXT! The fans sure love the idea! And Fenix says this passion, this spirit, everyone has been telling Fenix about it! And Ethan may have just won that title, but unfortunately for him, on Saturday, June 7th, he’s gonna lose it! The fans cheer that! Fenix says at Worlds Collide, it will be a FATAL 4 WAY for that NXT North American Championship! And Fenix hopes Ethan will be ready, because on that night, Fenix brings the fire, and he will burn Ethan up! ANIMO!! This is going to be a hot match to kick off the Summer! Will All Ego even stand a chance?
Ava, Stevie Turner & Robert Stone talk backstage.
Suit Man Stone says this is wild! Ethan’s got his hands full for Worlds Collide! Can you believe it? Ava can, cuz she booked it. Stevie says hold on, hold on. Sean Legacy won that Triple Threat to be a contender. Why’s Ava throwing in these three other people? Okay, okay, hold on. Ava says the reason why it is a Fatal 4 Way at Worlds Collide is because Ava wanted talent from AAA, NXT and even main roster to get their opportunity. She did not forget Sean. Stone says Sean is still the first WWE ID talent to get a title match in NXT. Stevie accepts that. Ava says to her point, Sean Legacy will get his opportunity, 1v1, after Worlds Collide.
Stevie says that is absolutely perfect. And tomorrow night, let us not forget! WWE Evolve on Tubi makes history by crowning the FIRST-EVER WWE Evolve Women’s Champion! Kylie Rae VS Wendy Choo VS Kendal Grey VS Kali Armstrong! Ava will be watching, won’t she? Yes, Prime Minister. Stone will be on commentary, too. Who will be crowned as the first-ever WWE Evolve Women’s Champion? And who makes it out of LA just to run into #SuperSean?
Stephanie Vaquer heads for gorilla.
But waiting along the way are the many stars of the Women’s Division, including Karmen Petrovic, Kendal Grey, Carlee Bright, Nikkita Lyons, Kelani Jordan, and Lash Legend! They all want that title, but will the NXT Women’s Champion still be La Primera? Or will the Toxic Rockstar pull off the upset of the decade?
NXT Women’s Championship: Stephanie Vaquer VS Jacy Jayne w/ The Fatal Influence!
Battleground was hard fought for the champion given she was against the Juggernaut. But the constant bickering of these toxic elements sparked a confrontation, and that then made this match. Will Vaquer humble Jacy once and for all? Or is she falling into a trap?
Well speaking of traps, Jacy just jumps Vaquer the moment Vaquer is in the ring! Jacy stomps away, the fans boo, but Jacy says she’s the next champ! Vaquer stops a punch to SLAP Jacy! And SOBAT! The fans rally for “LA PRIMERA!” as she whips, but Jacy reverses. Vaquer ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, roll-up, and cover, TWO! Jacy is up, she kicks, but Vaquer blocks to SOBAT again! Vaquer whips again, then blows past Jacy to spin and arm-drag! Jacy comes back, Vaquer sweeps to cover, ONE! Jacy sweeps to cover, ONE! Both women stand, Vaquer fires forearms, then she snapmares. Vaquer wants it and the afns cheer!
Vaquer smiles and wraps on the headscissors! But Jacy pops out the back! The fans boo but Jacy KICKS Vaquer in the side! Jacy runs to SENTON! Cover, TWO! Jacy sits Vaquer up to KICK her! And KICK again! Cover, TWO! Vaquer stays in this, the fans rally but Jacy drags her up. The fans rally, Jacy whips Vaquer to a corner, then runs up and back body blocks! Jacy reels Vaquer in for a suplex! Cover, TWO! The fans rally behind Vaquer but Jacy smirks. Jacy whips Vaquer, runs in, but Vaquer BOOTS her down! Vaquer then dribbles Jacy’s face off buckles! Vaquer scrubs Jacy’s face, then goes corner to corner.
But wait, Chika Tormenta y Dalys are here tonight?! They get on the apron, Vaquer BLASTS them both down, and Lola Vice helps out! The fans fire up as Lola brawls with Dalys, but then Chika is after her, too! Refs and security rush back out here, they get those three out of here, but Jacy rolls Vaquer! TWO, SUPERKICK from Vaquer! Jacy is on the ropes, Vaquer 619s! The fans fire up, Vaquer springboards, CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Jacy survives that shot but the fans still rally behind Vaquer as NXT goes picture in picture.
Vaquer stalks Jacy, drags her up, and whips. Jacy sunset flips but Vaquer stays up! She scrapes her heels off Jacy’s face to then drops a leg, brother! Cover, TWO! Jacy survives but Vaquer is right on her. Jacy ROCKS Vaquer, but Vaquer ROCKS Jacy, and repeat! They go back and forth, Jacy whips, but Vaquer reverses. Vaque runs up, Jacy ELBOWS Vaquer, then NECKBREAKERS! Both women are down and Vaquer scrambles to the outside. Jacy pursues but aims from the apron. Jacy PENALTY KICKS Vaquer down! Jacy snarls as she brings Vaquer back up, and she puts Vaquer back in the ring.
Vaquer goes to a corner and Jacy stomps a mudhole into her! The ref counts, Jacy backs off to soak up heat, then Jacy runs back in, CANNONBALL! Jacy drags Vaquer to a cover, TWO! Vaquer shows the toughness that made her champion, but Jacy SMACKS her off the mat! Jacy clamps onto Vaquer to bend her back with a chinlock stretch. Vaquer endures, fights up, but Jacy THROWS her down! Jacy clamps back onto Vaquer with the chinlock, but Vaquer fights up again. Vaquer powers Jacy back, but Jacy sends her into buckles! NXT returns to single picture while the fans boo. Jacy runs in, but Vaquer catches her!
Vaquer wrenches and SMACKS Jacy off buckles, then sunset flips! Jayc rolls through, PENALTY KICK! The fans boo but Jacy rains down fists! The ref reprimands about pulling hair, but Jacy basement SUPERKICKS! Cover, TWO! Jacy grows frustrated, Fallon says she would’ve won by now, but the fans continue to rally for Vaquer. Jacy drags Vaquer up, but Vaquer throws hands. Jacy KNEES low, fireman’s carries, but Vaquer slips free to shove. Jacy BOOTS Vaquer, then SLINGBLADE BACKBREAKERS! The fans boo, but Jacy lines up a shot. Vaquer staggers to her feet, but she scoops Jacy first! BACKBREAKER!
Jacy staggers into another scoop and BACKBREAKER! Things speed up, both women grab hair for a FACEBUSTER! The fans fire up while both women are down! The fans cheer on “NXT!” as Jacy and Vaquer rise. Vaquer HEADBUTTS, but Jacy SLAPS! Vaquer fires off HEABDUTT after HEADBUTT, then serves up SOLE FOOD! Jacy goes to a corner, Vaquer LARIATS and sits her down! Vaquer scrubs Jacy with her boot, then runs corner to corner, METEORA! The fans fire up and Vaquer pushes Jacy to a cover, TWO! Vaquer snarls, reels Jacy in, but Jacy powers out! Vaquer slips around, backslides, ONE, and Jacy KNEES Vaquer! Cover, TWO!
Vaquer survives and Jacy grows frustrated. Jazmyn coaches Jacy, Fallon doesn’t seem to care either way, but Jacy runs in, CANNONBALL only gets buckles as Vaquer moves! Jacy staggers up, Vaquer runs in, and Vaquer blocks boots. DRAPING DRAGON SCREW! Jacy writhes and falls out of the ring. Vaquer goes to the apron, Jacy clings to the apron skirt, but Vaquer still brings her up. Jacy TRIPS Vaquer! Vaquer is on the floor, Jacy goes up, but Vaquer blocks the kick! Electric Chair SNAKE EYES! The fans are thunderous and Vaquer smiles! Vaquer sends Jacy into the steel steps! The fans fire up more as Vaquer pushes Jacy into the ring.

The fans join Booker T in saying, “AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! AH! Yeeeeeeeah~!” The Devil’s Kisses stun Jacy and she goes to a corner. Vaquer runs in, DOUBLE- NO, Jacy puts her up top! Jacy swings, but into the HANGING ARMBAR!! But Jazmyn is back, and she gets on the apron to distract the ref! FALLON TIGER FEINTS VAQUER!!! The fans boo as Fallon shoves Vaquer in! Jacy hits the ENCORE!! Cover, JACY WINS?!?!
Winner: Jacy Jayne, by pinfall (NEW NXT Women’s Champion)
Literally everyone is stunned, but Jacy is finally THE NXT Women’s Champion! Granted, it took both of her friends to pull off this absolute sham of a win, but apparently that was the plan all along. NXT is now under the Influence, how toxic is the Women’s Division going to get?
My Thoughts:
A great episode for NXT, and what a wild way to follow up Battleground. Stephanie Vaquer VS Jacy Jayne for the title even being booked was a surprise in itself, and then what a bold move for them to take this title off Vaquer on TV and not at Battleground. I did appreciate that we saw a lot of the other women of NXT watching Vaquer walk to gorilla, it was a foreshadowing but in a way I did not expect. Granted, they also overbooked the main event with bringing out Dalys & Chika Tormenta and then Lola Vice, and they even gave us that Fatal Influence fallout fake-out to lower even Vaquer’s guard against Fallon attacking her. A very well protected loss for Vaquer, and I suppose this opens the door for Jordynne Grace to get one more try now that she’ll be able to bulldoze all of Fatal Influence at once.
Very good NXT debut match for Jasper Troy with Dante Chen. Poor Chen, he gets hurt, comes back, gets hurt, comes back, gets squashed. But Oba confronting Troy was great, too, can’t wait to see that match. Good match from Tatum VS Jaida but of course Jaida won to then cue Thea going after her. Jaida VS Thea will be great, and it’d be more fitting if they moved to a Triple Threat, not a tag match, because Tatum doesn’t even really like Thea, she’s jealous of Thea having friends out there. The winner of that can then move on towards a title match while the other two settle their own issues, a real win-win for NXT.
Good promo from Briggs & Inamura, and I like that Inamura was vague about the goals beyond tag titles and The Culling. They’re still gonna have that grudge match, but it’d be really fitting this story if Inamura wanted to try a singles title run first before worrying about tag titles. I still feel like Briggs is going to end up with The Culling because of Brooks Jensen. Very good promo from the new Chase U, and they of course step in it again. Dark State is going to eat up Kale & Uriah, and I wonder if that compels Mr. Chase to try harder with them. We could get a fun training montage that helps Kale & Uriah take things more seriously, but also bring up old memories of Duke & Riley.
Good promo from Tony and Luca to keep us wondering whose side Luca is on, and there has to be a rematch of Tony VS Stacks to help smoke out the truth. Very good promo from Wes & The High Ryze, I’m sure they’ll get going across NXT, TNA and even Evolve, maybe make moves towards titles on the other side of Worlds Collide as we head for Great American Bash, and hopefully win something to justify the trio.
The rest of tonight was all so greatly intertwined, a real textbook example that should be followed. Ricky VS Ethan opening turned out really well, especially using the concept of “There MUST be a winner!” That cutter to the chair was nuts, but that chair was clearly “gimmicked” to break like that. Ricky sold it perfectly, it really added drama, and because of that, Ethan of course won. Ethan talking later was a headscratcher until Je’Von showed up to start us on that Fatal 4 Way news. And NXT was even smart enough to give us Ava, Stevie & Stone talking out the logic of making Sean Legacy wait. That Fatal 4 Way is going to be insane, and then there’s also potential for Sean Legacy bringing the WWE Evolve Championship along for what would surely be another great match.
Great match from Santana VS Heights, and Santana naturally won. The NQCC had a good promo together, and I like Myles wanting his independence from Dictator Dempsey. It might be a bit easy for Myles to win the British Rounds match, but perhaps they can go to the time limit on round six and give us sudden death overtime to truly have Myles shows Dempsey he is ready. Great promo from Trick and Santana to give us Trick’s first title defense, but I wouldn’t expect Trick to be one ‘n’ done. Trick surely shows up on TNA this Thursday to help hype the match, shows up on more Impacts through the summer, then maybe loses this title on a TNA PPV or special episode as payback for how he won it on a WWE show.
My Score: 8.9/10
