The Alpha Academy Academic Challenge, Final Round: Quiz Bowl – The Alpha Academy VS RKBRO!

This is it! The final round of Chad Gable’s challenge, and it’s for all the marbles! Either Randy Orton & Matt Riddle win here and have a tag title match on the horizon, or “Master” Gable and Otis the tree trunk deny them. Kevin Patrick welcomes us to the show and introduces the teams. Kevin explains that this is must-win for RKBRO, and revisits the last two round with a video package. Gable arrogantly failed the spelling bee, but then had Otis be a massive speedbump for Riddle in the scooter race. Now, Kevin will explain- SHOOOOSH! Gable can handle this. He’ll explain it in a way even the mouth breathers of Denver can understand.

This is a quiz bowl. They will be given categories and multiple choice questions. A correct answer gets one point, but an incorrect answer, which will of course come from RKBRO, the other team has a chance to steal. First to five wins! Kev, hit us with the categories! They are: Greek Mythology; Film & Literature; Cartoons; Biology; Metric Conversions; Geography; US Presidents; Sports; and Pop Culture. Since Alpha Academy won last round, they get to go first. Gable says US Presidents! Which US President was first to be elected with a college degree? Was it: A) George Washington; B) Abraham Lincoln; C) Thomas Jefferson; or D) John Adams?

Gable says this is a cake walk. He knows college degrees cuz he has his Master’s Degree with an immaculate 4.0 GPA! Don’t boo education, guys. Education is why we’re here tonight. Washington led the revolution but that dummy didn’t go to college. This is D, John Adams. Correct! Now, RKBRO’s turn. Riddle wants something he’s good at: Biology. “An octopus may have 8 arms, but how many hearts does it have?” A) 1; B) 2; C) 5; or D) 3. Hmm… Riddle’s cousin is a marine biologist and they went to Maui and they dissected an octopus, so Riddle says D, 3. Correct! Orton is proud of Riddle but Gable says that was all luck.

Gable goes with Greek Mythology! “Who flew too close to the sun and fell to his death when his wax wings melted?” A) Apollo; B) Helios; C) Icarus; or D) Pegasus. Yawn. Was that really the question? Gable is snoozing with these softballs. It’s C, Icarus! Correct! RKBRO’s turn. Orton says they’ll go with something even easier. Cartoons! Fans like the sound of that. “Which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle used a pair of nunchucks to fight Shredder?” A) Leonardo; B) Donatello; C) Michelangelo; or D) Raphael. Fans know this one, too! Riddle says, “Cowabunga, dude!” C, Mikey! Correct! And Gable can’t believe this! How did this get in the challenge?

Orton tells Gable to shut up and let his partner, Otis, answer something. That’s not a bad idea. Gable’s been training Otis, he’s ready. Otis goes for… Geography. “Which of these states is largest of the 48 continental United States?” A) Texas; B) California; C) Montana; or D) Colorado. Otis says if this was about lowest IQ, it’s Colorado. Fans boo again, but Otis tells ’em to shut up! Everything is bigger in A, Texas. Gable is super proud of Otis because that is correct. RKBRO’s turn again. Riddle says Pop Culture! In 2018, global superstar Justin Bieber married model Hailey Baldwin, who is the daughter of which famous Baldwin brother? A) Stephen; B) Alec; C) Billy; or D) Daniel?

Riddle takes a moment to talk with Orton. Orton has no idea about this one. Riddle wants to use a lifeline, and he’ll call Justin Bieber. What? There’s no life lines in this game. Orton takes a stab, Alec. WRONG. The Alpha Academy gets a chance to steal. Gable says this man happens to be in one of his favorite films, Biodome, it is A! Stephen! Correct! They’re ahead 4-2, and could finish this off! Gable is gonna enjoy this. With all the downtime RKBRO will have, they can go read a book and learn something. Kev, give Gable Film & Literature. Which Shakespeare play has been adapted into the most movies? A) Romeo & Juliet; B) Hamlet; C) Othello; or D) Macbeth?

Otis gets fired up hearing about ham but Gable has him calm down. It is the greatest love story of all time, but Otis wants to talk about ham. Shoosh, Otis. Just like that kiss being the kiss of death, kiss the titles good bye! Romeo & Juliet! WRONG! Wait, what?! That buzzer startled Gable. To be, or not to be, that is the question, Randy. Does Riddle know it? Yes. It is HAMLET! Otis was gonna say it! So Otis wasn’t just talking about ham? RKBRO, you must get this one correct or Alpha Academy can win it. Fans are shouting categories, but Orton says sports. Fans like that choice.

“Which quarterback has the most wins in Denver Broncos history?” Fans really like this question! A) Peyton Manning; B) Jake Plummer; C) Jay Cutler; or D) John Elway. Fans are cheering the answer and Orton asks them for help. Is it A? “NO!” Is it B? “NO!” Is it C? “NO!” So is it JOHN FREAKIN’ ELWAY!? YES!! Final answer, D! CORRECT! Gable says the fans can’t help! That’s against the rules! But now here comes what could be the last question. Gable wants fans to shoosh and that buzzer turned down so he can think. Fans refuse to shoosh, so Gable nervously asks for the only category not yet chosen: Metric Conversions.

“How many grams are in an ounce?” A) 16; B) 32; C) 28; or D) 12. SHOOSH! Gable needs to think! SHOOSH! Gable panics and can’t decide! Final answer, 12! WRONG! Gable gets startled again. And Orton smiles because he knows Riddle knows. “So the other day when I was calibrating my scale…” Orton says he can take this. Really? How does Orton know? You think Riddle’s the only one that bakes, bro? It is exactly, precisely 28. CORRECT! RKBRO wins!

Winners: RKBRO (NEW #1 Contenders to the Raw Tag Team Championships)

Gable says that wasn’t a question in the approved cards! Riddle says SHOOSH! And Gable, you just got outsmarted by the three most dangerous letters in all of sports entertainment! R K BRO! Gable blames the fans but then the buzzer keeps messing with him. Will the Viper & The Stallion add on to the misery when they take the tag titles back?

But then the Street Profits appear! Montez Ford has a question for Angelo Dawkins: Who just lost the quiz bowl? Alpha Academy! CORRECT! Bonus question: Guess who now owes RKBRO a tag title match? The… Alpha Academy! CORRECT! Gable asks if they think they’re funny. Here’s a brain buster for them! Who’s about to get their asses kicked by the Alpha Academy? Oh, is that a challenge? Well this is the Mile High City, so let’s get high tonight! The Street Profits are up, and WE WANT THE SMOKE! But then Otis CLOBBERS Ford! Will Dawkins make sure the tree trunk gets chopped down? Or will the Alpha Academy instantly redeem themselves?

MVP is in the ring!

“Ladies and gentlemen of the WWE Universe. It is my privilege, my honor, as a matter of fact, everyone please rise.” Not just because this man is from Denver, but because this is the Beast Slaying, Brock Breaking, title taking, All Might, TWO-TIME REIGNING! DEFENDING! UNDISPUTED! WWE HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD! Bobby! Lashley!! The Rocky Mountain Machine makes his way out, another nice suit to go with the world title around his waist. Lashley has a big smile, too, as his hometown cheers him on. MVP says last week, they should’ve had a proper celebration because Lashley won “The collision with consequences.”

A match built up for decades, two Leviathans going head to head, Lashley VS Lesnar, and Lashley slayed The Beast and took back HIS WWE World Championship! Now, there are some out there saying that Lashley only one because Roman Reigns interfered. But Lahsley didn’t see or no about that. Lesnar would’ve still done the same exact things. Lashley could’ve seen things and still capitalized because in the end, he pinned Lesnar and stood victorious! Last week, there should’ve been a ticker tape parade, a marching band, show girls and champagne! Last week should’ve been Bobby Lashley Day!

But instead, what did we get? Adam Pearce telling Lashley that he’d have to defend this title in the Elimination Chamber match against five other superstars. And that brings us back to Lesnar. Lesnar won the Royal Rumble match, no question about that. A very impressive feat. Evne more, considering two hours before, Lashley left him laying. But Lesnar earned a match against Roman Reigns at WrestleMania. However, Lesnar entering the Chamber and taking the All Mighty’s title to make it Winner Takes All at Mania? Pure fantasy! Lashley will leave the Chamber the same way he did the Rumble: WWE World Champion!

That’s not to disparage the other five superstars in the match. AJ Styles, Seth Rollins, former champions and two of the best to have ever done it. There’s also Matt Riddle and Austin Theory, the future of this company. All stellar stars. But they’re just men. When you talk about Lashley and Lesnar, those are monsters! And MVP’s associate, Lashley, is the biggest, baddest monster of them all! Lashley says, “The champ lives here!” Lesnar has disrespected Lashley for the last time. Lesnar showed up in his MMA gear, all pumped up, demanding a rematch. You don’t make demands of the All Mighty.

“Brock Lesnar came in, saying this and saying that, demanding everything that he never worked for. Brock Lesnar… When was the last time Brock Lesnar defended the WWE title? More importantly, when was the last time Brock Lesnar had a match on Raw?” Lashley truly hopes that it comes down to him and Lesnar in the Chamber, just so Lashley can pin Lesnar once again! Lashley isn’t locked inside the Chamber with Lesnar, it’ll be Lesnar locked inside the Chamber with Lashley! Fans cheer, and Lashley takes a moment to enjoy it.

So Lashley will say this: When Lesnar wakes up, shaking at the mere sound of “Bobby Lashley,” the so-called Beast can challenge for the Universal Championship. Meanwhile, Lashley will defend HIS title in the main event of WrestleMania! Will the Rocky Mountain Machine write the final chapter with Brock Lesnar? Will the Beast turn the Chamber into Suplex City? Or will one of the other four entrants surprise everyone in Saudi Arabia?

 

Alexa Bliss continues her therapy.

The doctor can’t deny how well she looks with the substitute Lily. Separation from something she loves can be difficult, but he wants to prove she can do it. Remember, this has been a replica. So then, please hand it back. He holds out a hand, Alexa hands it over. See? It’ll be okay. She gets emotional again, perhaps progress is more difficult to make than expected.

 

WWE United States Championship Contender’s Match: Damian Priest VS AJ Styles!

The Archer of Infamy is still US Champion, and the Phenomenal One is going for the world title in the Elimination Chamber match, but that doesn’t mean this title can’t be on the agenda. Will Styles avoid waking Damian to pin Priest and set up another title match?

The bell rings and Styles circles with Priest. They tie up, Styles gets around to CHOP! Priest TOSSES Styles to a corner, Styles dodge and CHOPS again. Styles whips but Priest blocks so Styles CHOPS again. Styles runs, into a FLYING ELBOW! Styles gest to the ropes, Priest rushes over but Styles dumps him out! Priest stands, Styles SLINGSHOT FOREARMS Priest down! Styles gets Priest up and in, Oklahoma Rolls, TWO! Styles keeps close and clamps on a chinlock. Priest powers up to RAM Styles in a corner, then he FLAPJACKS Styles down! Priest runs to BACK ELBOW in the corner!

Styles slips out of Broken Arrow but Priest bucks the waistlock to LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Priest sits Styles up to clamp onto the arm, but Styles gets to a corner. The ref counts, Priest lets off with an uppercut! Priest hoists Styles up top, climbs up to join him, and stands Styles up. Styles resists the superplex, slips under and trips Priest up! Priest hits buckles, Styles fireman’s carries! Priest fights off, dragon sleeper, but Styles slips to turn it around! Priest fights free, Styles kicks and reels him in! Priest fights out of the Clash, Styles ducks the heel kick! Fireman’s carry, USHIGOROSHI! Cover, TWO!

Priest gets to a corner, Styles runs in, but Priest dodges! Styles hits buckles, but he elbows Priest away. QUEBRADA, but Priest gets clear! HEEL KICK! Down goes Styles, but Priest drags him up to HEADLOCK DRIVER! Cover, TWO! Styles is still in this and Priest is frustrated. Priest drags Styles up, fans rally, and Styles ROCKS Priest with a forearm! Priest ROCKS Styles back, Styles fires off more forearms. Priest kicks and KICKS and KICKS! Styles blocks the rolling elbow, PHENOMENAL BLITZ! Priest dodges the lariat to JUMP KICK! Styles PELES! But Priest falls onto the cover, TWO!!

Fans fire up as both men are down. Priest crawls to a corner, gets himself up to his feet, but Styles runs in. Priest puts Styles on the apron but Styles ROCKS Priest! Styles springboards, into a HARD right! Priest stands Styles up to HEADBUTT! Priest runs, into a PHENOMENAL FOREARM!! Cover, Styles wins!!

Winner: AJ Styles, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the WWE US Championship)

Styles just got himself a future United States Championship match! Will Priest be able to keep his cool the next time he faces the Phenomenal One?

 

BREAKING NEWS!

To determine a challenger at WrestleMania for the Raw Women’s Championship, there will be a Women’s Elimination Chamber match! Liv Morgan, Rhea Ripley, “Doudrop” Piper Nivens, Bianca Belair, Nikki A.S.H, and a competitor to still be determined will battle to get a golden ticket to Dallas! Who will be the sixth and final entrant?

 

Seth Rollins talks with Kevin Owens backstage.

The Visionary cheers on “K O! K O! K O!” Rollins knows Kevin is getting ready for his match with Theory, but Rollins just wants to say, “I can’t believe you’re not in the Chamber match with me!” The nerve of Adam Pearce & Sonya Deville making Kevin fight for a spot. Kevin never did like Pearce. Rollins never did, either. But no need to be sad or upset, because here’s the thing. With Rollins’ “influence” and support, and Kevin’s determination and popularity, Kevin has a good feeling that after he beats Theory, management will have no choice but to put Kevin in and take Theory out. Then they’re both in!

That’s a great idea! Not sure if that’s how it works, but Rollins likes the enthusiasm. Rollins has Kevin’s back and is rooting for him. He’s not just saying that, is he? He’s not… lying, right? Rollins laughs that off. Rollins is many things, but a liar is not one of them. Good luck! Will the Prizefighter #JustKeepFighting until he’s in the Chamber at Theory’s expense?

 

The Miz & Maryse head to the ring!

The It Couple is back, ready to host an all new Miz TV! Miz welcomes us to the Most Must-See WWE Talk Show, and before things get started, Miz wants everyone to get up on their feet, show the respect his wife deserves! Such guts, such determination! Show your love for the most beautiful, gorgeous, sexy and intelligent woman, Miz’s wife, MARYSE! She is his queen! Miz says, speaking of royalty, these are lucha royalty! Welcome the man Miz defeated in Dominik, and his legendary father, Rey Mysterio! The Mysterios make their way out, Miz and Maryse “dance” to the theme song, and Miz welcomes the Mysterios to take a seat.

Miz knows they’re curious as to why he invited them on the show. When he senses conflict, he faces it head on. He noticed some hostility last week. Just in case anyone was wondering what he means, he plays footage from last week. Miz pretended that Rey tripped him, so that he could sucker Dom into a Skull-Crushing Finale. Miz says he looks at that and sees nothing wrong. Rey goes, “Really?” So Rey has a problem? If Miz means using underhanded tactics to beat Dom, then yes, Rey has a problem. Underhanded? Miz? Is Rey saying Miz is a cheater? Fans chant, “YES!” Miz raises his hand and hopes they know what it means.

“When my hand goes up, your mouth goes shut!” Miz is NOT a cheater! Look no further than Edge & Beth Phoenix at the Royal Rumble! Beth punched and kicked Miz, illegally! It’s amazing that when Beth or Rey or Edge or Eddie Guerrero use underhanded tactics, they’re cheered. Yet Miz gets booed and called a cheater! Miz isn’t a cheater, he just outsmarted them. Dom, here’s advice. Miz has been here a long time, so you know what he’s getting. If you lose, that’s on you. MIZ was cheated out of being in the Elimination Chamber and the WWE World Championship, a position he should be in!

But who got that instead? Rey Mysterio! Even though Miz has been on a tear since winning the Money in the Bank contract! That he cheated to win. Uh, Miz beat Drew McIntyre when McIntyre was unstoppable. With Lashley’s help. But he became WWE Champion! Fans still call Miz a cheater and he gets mad now. Miz isn’t a cheater! He’s the biggest star in this company! Miz was on Dancing with the Stars!! Miz is the ONLY two-time Grand Slam Champion in the HISTORY of the WWE! But is he on posters? Is he on the trucks? Is he on WWE 2K22? NOPE! But y’know whose face is? It’s REY! Available worldwide on March 11th.

Surprise, surprise! BOOYAKA BOOYAKA! What does Rey have that Miz doesn’t? What does Rey have that Maryse doesn’t? She should be on WWE 2K games! Did you see her at the Rumble? She was tremendous! Maryse says Rey could learn a thing or two from him. He could become Rey Maryse-sterio! Yes, that’s actually pretty clever. But no thanks. Miz is just asking for a little respect here. Where is HIS appreciation? The cheers?! The respect?! Dom says, “Exactly.” Where is Miz’s respect? Dom gets up, and says Miz should show REY some respect. Oh, is this how things are now? Rey hides behind his son? Does Dom want to put his big boy pants on?

Miz says if Dom wants a rematch, then it’ll happen tonight! Rey isn’t sure but Dom says it’s all good. “You’re on!” Miz never noticed. Dom is a lot taller than his dad. Are we sure he’s not Eddie’s son? Rey wants to go after Miz now, but Dom keeps him back. Dom says he’ll handle this. And he shoves Miz down! Miz scrambles out of the ring and Dom is fired up now! Will the Hollywood A-Lister be able to compose himself? Raw goes picture in picture as the ring is prepped for the match! In fact, Dom helps by throwing the chairs out at The Miz!

Dominik Mysterio w/ Rey Mysterio VS The Miz w/ Maryse!

Miz riles up the fans as he stands on the announce desk. Dom waits on Miz in the ring, Miz and Maryse pace around the ring, and Miz whispers something to Maryse. Perhaps the It Couple is planning their newest underhanded tactic. Dom wants after Miz as soon as he’s on the apron but Miz shouts for him to stay back. Miz finally gets in, the ref checks with each man, and the bell rings. Miz bails right out! Miz acts like that’s something to be proud off but fans are booing and giving thumbs down. Miz gets back in, grins as he trolls Dom and just exits the ring again. Dom is getting annoyed but Miz whispers things to Maryse again.

The It Couple have a long, long kiss, Dom gets up to Viva La Raza! Fans fire up for that more than the kiss. Miz gets back on the apron, the ref has the ring count going, but Miz climbs up the corner to taunt Dom. Miz gets back in, Dom gets the fans to cheer. Raw returns to single picture, these two finally tie up! They go around, Dom powers Miz back but Miz turns it around to put Dom in the corner. Miz soaks up more heat, taunts Rey with is rope a dope, but Dom comes back to circle with Miz. They tie up, Miz wrenches, wristlocks, but Dom rolls and rolls and handsprings to wrench back. Dom puts Miz in the corner and now Dom shows off his dance moves!

Miz is upset, but Dom baits him into a drop toehold! Dom runs, but Maryse legit trips Dom! The ref saw that in plain sight! He EJECTS Maryse! So much for the It Couple’s master plan! Miz runs, basement BOOTS Dom, then complains to the ref. Miz runs, Rey legit trips Maryse! But the ref missed it! Miz is furious that things aren’t going his way, Dom rolls Miz up! High stack, Dom wins!

Winner: Dominik Mysterio, by pinfall

Payback sucks, doesn’t it? The Mysterios celebrate while the It Couple is beside itself! With things 1-1, will Miz be willing to give Dom a tiebreaker?

 

Bianca Belair VS Nikki A.S.H!

Denver, the highEST city in the USA, welcomes the EST of the WWE! But will Bianca be able to get some momentum towards the Women’s Elimination Chamber match against the Almost SuperHero? Or will Nikki be the one flying high in the Rocky Mountains?

Raw returns and Nikki makes her entrance. The bell rings, Bianca and Nikki tie up, and Bianca headlocks. Nikki powers out but Bianca runs her over! Bianca says to kiss this, then she runs. Nikki drops, Bianca handsprings and dropkicks Nikki out of the ring! Bianca waits on Nikki, drags her up from the apron, but she avoids Nikki’s skirt trap! Bianca steps onto the apron, but Nikki YANKS the skirt! Nikki still had a trick! She fires off on Bianca in the ring, and she roars as she strikes her hero pose. Nikki has a leg, stomps it, then drags Bianca around into a HALF CRAB! Nikki sits deep on the leg but Bianca endures!

Bianca reaches out, powers up, and clubs Nikki’s legs. Bianca turns over to kick Nikki away! Bianca hobbles up, Nikki dropkicks a leg out! Nikki runs, but Bianca catches her crossbody for a FALL AWAY SLAM! Nikki writhes and Bianca slaps feeling into her leg. Bianca kips up, but she hops on one good leg. Bianca manages to scoop and SLAM Nikki! And then scoops and SLAMS her again! ToughEST, strongEST, but Nikki slips out of the third! Bianca elbows back from the corner, goes up top and leaps, but Nikki dodges. Bianca rolls, wrenches Nikki and reels her in, snap suplex! Roll through, stalling suplex! Cover, TWO!

Nikki hurries to a corner and begs for mercy. Bianca says nope, but Nikki YANKS her into buckles! Nikki goes up, TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO!! Bianca survives and Nikki is furious! Nikki sees Bianca go to a corner, runs in, but Bianca slips out! Nikki POSTS herself, then Bianca BOOTS her into the post! Bianca gets in, torture racks, KISS OF DEATH!! Cover, Bianca wins!

Winner: Bianca Belair, by pinfall

The EST powers through the pain and gets a big win! If this happens in the Elimination Chamber, will we see WrESTleMania’s sequel?

 

The 24/7 Championship chase is on backstage!

R-Truth, Akira Tozawa and Tamina are scrambling around backstage. Truth says he knows where they are! He leads them on, but they just miss Reggie and Dana Brooke. Dana thanks Reggie for having her back. And also, just being a nice guy. She’s a better champion cuz of him. Dana gives Reggie a kiss on the cheek and Reggie asks her something. She says all these nice things about him, and then the kiss… What does this mean? It means that they’re friends. Like, really good friends. Hopefully that never changes. They hug it out, but then they back away. The awkward tension is cut by Truth and the others coming back!

“Y’all can run, but ya can’t hide!” Truth, they’re doing both. Truth say sit’s a matter of time. He’ll get his bay back! Now, this way! No, Truth, they went the other way… With Dana’s title on defense around the clock, will there ever be time for more than that?

 

Kevin Owens VS Austin Theory!

The Prizefighter gets his rematch with the All Day Superstar, but will he succeed in his plan to replace him? Or will Theory make Vince proud by building more momentum towards the Elimination Chamber?

The Prizefighter just got a win over Vince’s pet project! Will the rest of his plan work out? Or will management refuse to rewrite the Elimination Chamber card?

 

RKBRO talks backstage.

Riddle says they just won the big bowl, and now they’ll win back the Raw Tag Team Championships! Orton wants Riddle to focus, though. He has another big opportunity in front of himself, too. The Elimination Chamber for the WWE World Championship. Orton’s been in a handful of those, and that is an unforgiving structure. But if Riddle wins, he’ll main event WrestleMania! But before that, Riddle needs to focus on tonight and Seth Rollins. Take it from Orton again, do not take this lightly. There’s a reason Rollins is the Architect. Rollins will do whatever he has to in order to win, so just focus. Got it, Randy!

Riddle heads out, but then he comes back to say, all he has to do is win the Chamber. Then if they win back the tag titles, Riddle will be a double champion! How sweet will that be? And in honor of tonight’s quiz bowl win, Riddle’s gonna throw an RKBROGA party next week. Like Animal House, bro. Can Orton make it? Orton says to focus on tonight. Right, right, focus on Seth. Riddle heads out again, but will he make it through to his own toga party?

 

Lita is here!

The extreme icon and WWE Hall of Famer is back, ready for her Raw Women’s Championship match at the Elimination Chamber. But what will she have to say about her first title match in years? We’ll see, after the break.

Raw returns and Lita has a mic while the fans cheer. “I had no idea I would be on Monday Night Raw in Denver a couple weeks ago. What? I dunno, though, after being in the Royal Rumble with some of the top stars, it started to feel like I was home.” She was in there with Charlotte Flair, Ronda Rousey, Bianca Belair, “The Nightmare” Rhea Ripley! But one person conspicuous by her absence, a woman at the top of her game and is smashing through all the glass ceilings. Lita came to Raw, took her shot and challenged Becky Lynch! They go back a long way, she’s wanted this for a long time.

But wait! The Man comes ’round! Becky says, “Wow. Wow, wow, guys. Do you have any idea how incredible it is to come out here and hear Lita say such amazing things about me?” For real! It is one thing for Becky to come out here to prove she’s the best so much so that Ronnie’s runnin’ scared, but it is a whole different thing to hear this from your teenage idol. Now, last week, Lita came out here and issued a challenge. Becky first said no, and she’ll explain why. She grew up worshipping Lita, because Lita showed us what was possible for a woman in the WWE. When Becky finally made it here, many people turned their noses up at her.

But not Lita. Lita saw something in Becky, supported her, and for that, Becky is eternally grateful. Becky would go as far as to say that without Lita, there would be no Becky. But now that there is a Becky, there can be no Lita! Becky asks Lita, “Do you have any idea how hurtful it is to have the one person you looked up to more than anyone try to take everything away form you?” This title is the most important thing in Becky’s life, during the most important time of the year with WrestleMania season! Becky’s had to get rid of everything to be champion! Friends? No problem! The fans? No problem! And Becky will get rid of Lita no problem!

Because Becky is in the prime of her career! She’s beaten everyone in her way. Lita may have helped bring Becky up, but Becky will have no problem putting Lita down. Lita says Becky’s right. She’s at the top of her game, beating woman after woman, night after night. But odds are, Becky is the odds on favorite. That’s why Lita is here. Lita has no problem being the underdog. She was just some punk rock dumpster diver who chased a dream. But it was the fans that helped her become a four-time champion. It is the fans that chanted her name from the first day and helped her live those dreams.

So Becks, it may be true that Lita hasn’t had a shot in 15 years, there’s something that hasn’t changed: The WWE Universe still supports Lita to this day! And as long as the fans are here, there’s still a Lita! She’s okay with her odds. What Becky has to get right is how she’ll feel when Lita walks out of Elimination Chamber a FIVE-TIME women’s champion! Okay, okay, Becky will leave Lita with the people. They’re all she’ll ever have! Lita sees the sucker punch coming! But Becky gets out of the Twist of Fate to DECK Lita! Becky rains down rights, then stomps away! Lita gets to a corner, Becky grabs her belt.

Becky holds the belt up, but she won’t leave Lita alone! But Lita fights the Manhandle Slam! TWIST OF FATE!! Lita isn’t done with Becky now! Lita goes up top, MOONSAULT!! Picture perfect! Will Lita hit that on Becky again to take that title on the Road to WrestleMania?

 

Adam Pearce talks with Sonya Deville in their office.

How is her arm feeling after what Ronda did to it? It’s in a sling, but Sonya says it’s fine. That’s for SmackDown, and she’ll handle that. Right now, in walks Kevin Owens. Just the people he was hoping to see. They look great, especially Sonya’s suit. But just to check with them, they surely saw what he did to Theory. Pretty awesome, right? He’s gonna be in the Chamber, right? Sorry, no. What? The qualifying matches were final. Aw c’mon, they gotta be kidding! Kevin’s been nothing but genuine and honest and this is what he gets? They’re going to deprive the fans of seeing Kevin in the Elimination Chamber and win to go to WrestleMania?

Well, yeah. To be honest, Kevin might not even be on WrestleMania. W-What? No, they can’t do this! They can’t do this to him, and to the people of Texas. Texas loves Kevin almost as much as he loves Texas! If you do this, there will be a riot! Deep in the heart of Texas, deep in the heart of Kevin! Kevin has had so many moments in Texas! He became Universal Champion, eh became Intercontinental Champion, his first WrestleMania was in Dallas! Kevin loves Texas, from the cowboy hats, to the cowboy boots to the rodeo and the bulls! He has to be there! The people need him! He knows they think he’s lying, but he’s not. Please, just think about it.

Kevin leaves, but will Pearce and Sonya buy any of that? Is KOMania not returning to Texas?

 

Liv Morgan VS “Doudrop” Piper Niven!

Another two of the Women’s Elimination Chamber entrants compete against each other! Will Liv prove she still belongs in the spotlight? Or will Piper force Liv to give up on her dreams?

Raw returns and Piper makes her entrance. The bell rings, they tie up, and Piper pushes Liv down. Piper grins but Liv manages to laugh it off. They tie up again, Piper SLAMS Liv down now, and Piper smirks. “No chance!” Piper hauls Liv up, scoops, but Liv slips around to a SLEEPER! Piper stays up, even with Liv as a backpack, and she RAMS Liv into buckles! Liv holds on, Piper keeps RAMMING back, and Piper gets free. Piper runs in, but Liv dodges! Piper hits buckles, Liv back body blocks! Liv runs in to body block again! But then Piper CROSSBODIES Liv down! Liv writhes while Raw goes picture in picture.

Piper taunts Liv, Liv hits back from below. Piper KICKS Liv, stalks her to ropes, then whips her to TOSS her out of the ring! Liv tumbles to the floor, Piper dusts off her hands and lets the ring count climb. Liv drags herself up and into the ring at 5 of 10, Piper DECKS her! Piper looms over Liv, drags her back up, and whips her into buckles. Piper talks some trash, ROCKS Liv with a forearm, then paces around. Liv goes along ropes, Piper bumps her off buckles! Piper goes corner to corner but Liv goes up and over! Liv comes back, but Piper CLOBBERS her! Cover, TWO! Piper is annoyed but she keeps cool.

Piper stalks Liv more, has her at the ropes and HEADBUTTS her down! Liv is dazed, Piper stands her up. Liv pushes Piper, ROCKS her with forearms, then BOOST her! Piper swings, Liv gets around and waistlocks, but Piper bucks the roll-up to run Liv over! Cover, TWO! Piper is further annoyed, but she clamps onto Liv with a cobra clutch. Liv endures as Piper leans on the hold, and Liv fights up to throw body shots. Piper ripcords, ROCKS Liv, then scoops her. Liv slips off, runs, but her lariat bounces off Piper! Liv can’t believe it, she runs and SHOTGUNS! Piper still stays up! Liv runs and crossbodies, but into Piper’s arms!

Piper POWERSLAMS Liv down! Piper runs, Raw returns to single picture, SENTON! Cover, TWO!! Liv is still in this and Piper is frustrated. Piper clamps on with another cobra clutch and again Liv endures. Piper thrashes Liv around, fans rally up, and Liv fights up. Liv throws body shots, Piper ripcords but Liv dodges to KICK and KICK and KICK! Piper blocks the whip, whips Liv to a corner, then runs in, into boots! Liv goes up and up and missile dropkicks! Piper falls but Liv is down, too! Fans rally up and a standing count starts. Piper slowly stands at 7 of 10, but Liv kips up! Liv roars and fires off forearm after forearm!

Piper shoves Liv, Liv ENZIGURIS back! Liv has Piper on the ropes to dropkick her in the back! Piper goes to a corner, Liv hits a SHINING WIZARD! Piper staggers, Liv runs and springboards, FLYING CODE BREAKER! Cover, TWO!! Piper survives but Liv keeps her cool. Liv gets Piper up, Piper shoves Liv away, and Piper blocks rana into an Electric Chair FACEBUSTER! Cover, TWO!! Liv still lives! Piper pulls her hair in frustration, but she drags Liv up. Piper hauls Liv to the top rope, but Liv fires a forearm! Liv boots Piper, but Piper YANKS Liv off the top! Piper hurries up, VADER BOMB!! Cover, Piper wins!

Winner: “Doudrop” Piper Niven, by pinfall

Liv has been flattened, Piper is rising! Will the Elimination Chamber be Piper’s to win and get back to the Raw Women’s Championship?

 

We check back in with Alexa.

She may have cried giving back the fake Lily, but she did not lash out. That is good. Has Alexa had any emotional outbursts lately? Well, she was driving along and this car cut her off, almost hit her, and Alexa thought that was going to ruin her day. But she took a deep breath, cooled off, and went to the mall. But then another car cuts her off to take her parking spot. Alexa wanted to confront them, but she took a breath, cooled off, and found a new spot. Excellent! Dare he say, progress. And then, Alexa was at the grocery store, in a real long line, and “this evil creature” of a woman cut her off in line!

Who was this? She had rainbow hair, big button eyes, really deep red lipsticks, and her teeth were like… little skulls. Uh… Did that make Alexa angry? Well… Alexa threw her into aisle three and hit her with bread. But then she took a deep breath, controlled her anger, and left the store. Okay… We still have some work to do.

 

Backstage interview with Seth Rollins.

Before his match with Riddle, will he elaborate on what it’ll take to win the Elimination Chamber? Kevin Patrick, do you even know who you’re talking to? No offense to the other five, it is no fault of theirs, but they are simply not Seth. His resume speaks for itself! The one thing Rollins has yet to do is headline WrestleMania as WWE World Champion! But that changes this year, because it is Rollins’ time! It doesn’t matter if your Lesnar, Lashley, Styles, Theory or Riddle! It just means you’re not Seth.

So does Kevin Patrick know who he is talking to? He is talking to the visionary, the revolutionary, to the winner of this year’s Elimination Chamber and next WWE World Champion: Seth FREAKIN’ Rollins! Rollins heads out, will he make The Bro the first to accept that truth?

Matt Riddle VS Seth Rollins!

Raw returns and Riddle makes his entrance. The bell rings and these two tie up. Riddle headlocks, Rollins powers out and things speed up. Rollins hurdles, redirects and SLINGBLADES Riddle down! Rollins swaggers about and laughs at Riddle, but Riddle gets him for an ARMBAR! Rollins gets the ropebreak, Riddle lets off quick, and Rollins fires off in frustration! Rollins fires haymakers at the ropes, lets off as the ref counts, and Rollins’ swagger returns. Riddle gets Rollins with a headscissor to throw Rollins out! And then PENALTY- NO! Rollins drags Riddle off the apron to BARRIER BOMB! Rollins laughs and Raw goes picture in picture.

Riddle is down, Rollins swaggers about, and then Rollins gets Riddle up and into the ring. Rollins covers, TWO! Rollins paces about, stands Riddle up and ROCKS him with a right. Rollins wrenches and whips Riddle hard into a corner! Riddle bounces off buckles, Rollins continues to swagger about. Rollins runs in to forearm smash and snapmare, for a PENALTY KICK! Cover, TWO! Rollins just laughs while Riddle sputters. Rollins clamps on a chinlock and squeezes tight. Riddle endures, fights up, and throws body shots. Riddle runs, Rollins knees low! Rollins whips, KNEES Riddle again, then fireman’s carries for a GUT BUSTER!

Riddle writhes while Rollins swaggers about again. Rollins looms over Riddle, drops a knee on Riddle’s head, then drags Riddle out onto the apron. Rollins CLUBS Riddle over and over, then swaggers about, before he BOOTS Riddle down! Rollins drags Riddle up and puts him back in the ring. Cover, TWO! Rollins clamps on another chinlock and he squeezes tight. Riddle endures, fans rally up and Riddle fights as Raw returns to single picture. Riddle throws body shots, Rollins knees low then knees him again. Rollins shoves Riddle to a corner, runs in but Riddle back elbows! Riddle goes up, but Rollins trips him up!

Rollins CLUBS Riddle into a Tree of Woe then fires off more! The ref backs Rollins off, but Rollins goes to the apron. Rollins climbs up the corner and WOE STOMPS Riddle down! Cover, TWO! Riddle is still in this but Rollins is amused. Riddle flounders to a corner, Rollins swaggers about yet again, and then Rollins runs corner to corner. Riddle dodges, Rollins goes up and comes back to back suplex. Riddle lands on his feet, spins Rollins around, PELE! Both men drop and Rollins checks his eye. Riddle handsprings up to forearm smash in the corner! Riddle goes side to side, another forearm!

Rollins fights the Exploder, but spins into the BROSPLODER! Riddle gets up, BROTON onto knees! Riddle and Rollins each go to ropes, Rollins runs in but is sent out of the ring! Riddle goes up and to the apron again, PENALTY KICK! Springboard, FLOATING BRO! Direct hit and down goes Rollins! Fans fire up with Riddle as he gets back up, but KEVIN OWENS attacks!

Winner: Matt Riddle, by disqualification

Kevin saves his best friend! But here comes Orton! The Viper gets in, dodges Kevin, and hits an RKO! But Rollins gets in and stares Orton down! They argue, is this going to escalate after the break?

 

RKBRO VS Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens!

Holla, holla! The Prizefighter ruined Riddle’s first match against Rollins, so now the Stallion & The Viper are going after both him and the Visionary! Will Orton & Riddle have even more of a reason to celebrate next week? Or will Kevin & Rollins #JustKeepFighting until they #BurnItDown?

This match is already underway as Orton bumps Rollins off buckles and throws EuroUppers. Adam Pearce is ringside to make sure there is a winner. Rollins kicks low, CHOPS back, fires haymakers, then whips. Orton comes back from the corner to LARIAT Rollins! Fans fire up, Orton drags Rollins back up. Rollins JAWBREAKERS back! Rollins clotheslines Orton out of the ring, Orton stumbles to the desk, and Rollins hurries out to get Kevin up. Kevin says his neck hurts, he got an RKO earlier.

Kevin taunts Orton, stomps Riddle’s bare feet, then drops a leg on the leg! Cover, TWO! Kevin KICKS Riddle down, drags him over, and bumps him off buckles. Kevin CHOPS Riddle, Rollins pie faces Riddle, Riddle fires off on both of them! Riddle fires off on Rollins but Kevin kicks the bad leg! Tag to Rollins, Rollins stomps a mudhole into Riddle. The ref pulls Rollins away, Kevin gets a cheap shot in! Orton protests but Rollins drags Riddle with a facelock. Kevin holds the tag rope to show he’s playing fair.

Winners: Seth Rollins & Kevin Owens, by pinfall

The Visionary has momentum for the Chamber after all! But Orton gets in the ring to RKO Kevin again! Rollins laughs it off, does he only care about himself on the Road to WrestleMania? Can RKBRO get back on a winning track with all these title matches coming?


My Thoughts:

A really good Raw, and one that moved very quickly. A commercial free first hour (though with WWE’s own ads used in their place) and resurrecting picture in picture certainly helped with that. The quiz bowl opening the night was a good move, and it was a hilarious segment, especially with it coming down to the grams to ounces question. RKBRO gets their tag title match, can’t wait to see how that goes. RKBRO getting into action as Kevin “ruins” Riddle VS Rollins was quite the surprise, and quite the way to keep RKBRO’s momentum at 50-50. Rollins is very confident going into Elimination Chamber, Kevin is left in the lurch, those two are certainly turning on each other before Mania.

I will say, Kevin had a great match with Theory. Vince is surely going to have a talk with Theory in next week’s episode, and Theory could become desperate to get something for WrestleMania. The debacle with Shane McMahon is a shame because Theory VS Shane would’ve made for an interesting story. But at the same time, it probably would’ve ended up a horrible time vampire that made Raw worse since Shane just doesn’t have it in terms of character. Maybe Theory will pick a fight with Edge or some other legend. Actually, something about Theory going after Edge works in a similar vein to how Miz went after Edge.

Speaking of The Miz, his story with the Mysterios is building, as I expected from last week. Getting Maryse in on it was good, but how could they do the horrible “Maryse-sterio” joke when Mizsterio works so much better? Miz gets his comeuppance against Dominik, and I’m actually interested in seeing their tiebreaker. I feel like Miz wins that so he can go after Rey next, setting up a WrestleMania match. If only WWE didn’t get rid of John Morrison, I would love to see the Mysterios VS The Greatest Tag Team of the 21st Century *look off into distance* and what goofy music video diss they could come up with on Rey & Dom.

MVP and Lashley have a pretty good promo to hype up Lashley’s part in Elimination Chamber. I feel like the best way for Lashley to come out of Chamber is to be one of the final two with Lesnar. Lesnar is surely winning to give us Winner Takes All with Roman, but Lashley deserves to be given something. Of course, the shocking thing would be if Lesnar was in there with anyone else at the end, where Lashley is eliminated somewhere in the middle. AJ Styles getting a match with Damian Priest and winning to become a US Championship contender was an interesting move. Styles is getting that title match next week as his go-home match, I honestly feel like it could go either way.

This week’s 24/7 Championship segment was rather awkward, but I’m pretty sure this is setting up a Valentine’s Day segment for next week. Reggie expected more, Dana is giving him mixed signals, and if this doesn’t end with Reggie taking the title off Dana, I’m going to be disappointed. Alexa’s continuing her therapy, so she’s definitely coming back closer to WrestleMania. No idea where it’ll go once she does appear, maybe they’ll give her a feud with Nikki A.S.H. to revisit their history. There’s no title for her to go right after since the Raw Women’s Championship is going to have a contender out of the Women’s Chamber match.

And speaking of which, we got good matches out of that news. Bianca VS Nikki wasn’t a long match but it was a very competitive match and was a strong win for Bianca. Liv VS Piper was also very good, and it seems the Vader Bomb is going to be Piper’s finisher now, not the Michinoku Driver. There are many other roster members to be the mystery entry, but I don’t see Mella and Vega fighting each other while still Women’s Tag Team Champions. We can only hope WWE brings back Asuka, she hasn’t had anything to do in a long time. At the same time, the Elimination Chamber feels like Bianca’s way back to Mania and a match with Becky.

Lita and Becky had a very good promo segment together, and Lita gets the better of Becky again. Lita surprised me with that moonsault. She’s going to look even better in a full match with Becky, but Becky is still going to retain. Then we’ll get Becky VS Bianca for Mania and that’ll be an all time match right there.

My Score: 8.4/10

Coverage

Andrew’s TNA iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 5.8.2025

We get to see Alicia Fox in action and a dog collar match! Definitely an odd combination, so let’s see what happens!

Published

on

As I feel like I say every week, the best parts of TNA are on NXT. I really can’t tolerate Dreamer and Delirious’ idea of creative. This shows have been slapdash early 00s MTV humor and nonsense angles. We open the show with Trick Williams, so of course you know he’s gonna be a dick and Hendry’s gonna try and get even.

At least this spawned an interesting concept with the TNA Heavyweight Championship being defended on NXT Battleground. So it’s nice that Hendry and TNA are getting exposure, but honestly it’s only Hendry, and the constant milking on the TNA side of “hearing from Hendry” is making me ill.

I feel like I’ve seen Johnny Gobs all over since Nekrogoblikon came out with new music. Not mad at it, just didn’t have that on my Bingo card.

 

Ratings:

  • Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck – *
  • Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors: Aztec Warriors win via Laredo Driver + Arabian Moonsault – * 1/2
  • Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands: Ali wins via Crucifix Blade Runner – ** 3/4
  • Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks: Victoria wins via Flying Axe Kick – Squash
  • Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury: Maclin retains via KIA – ***

Results:

Hey look, Trick comes out and does exactly what I said. He’s arrogant, he’s basically doing his own version of a Ric Flair promo. I do like the line about having two girls, one named Lexis who drives a Mercedes and Mercedes who drives a Lexus. It’s that right balance of dumb and clever to make me chuckle. Hendry of course comes out with his game face on, security tries, fails, and Hendry gets a measure of revenge.

Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck

Okay even though I don’t mind Xia as a wrestler anymore, Brookside is on commentary and she’s…awful. She’s like an Arianna Grace with no charisma. Her little integrity shtick got lame halfway through the word the first time she said it.

This match goes about how you expect which is why it’s not much to discuss. Rosemary does her usually brawling, biting and using the 5 counts with the Upside Down. But as expected, she tries to use the Brass Knucks, Xia comes off of commentary to stop her from using the weapon, and Lei catches her with Thunderstruck. I guess this was supposed to keep the Xia angle with some heat, but it’s really dumb. I don’t want to see any more of this Angel vs Demon, which one will turn crap. It’s boring, it’s cliche and for babies.

At least Lei Ying Lee is gorgeous and one hell of a wrestler. Hopefully she gets away from Rosemary and Xia soon.

Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors

Laredo and Octagon take early turns on Jason Hotch, Octagon even pulls off some rope acrobatics like he thinks he’s Rey Fenix. Hands try to take a few shortcuts, but the actions stays quick, the Cali crowd is behind the Luchadors. Stereo Tijeras, Five Hole Dive from Laredo into an Asai Moonsault from Octagon. Laredo Driver into Handstand Arabian Moonsault, and Aztec Warriors win handily.

After the fact Ali attacks the Aztec Warriors, Tasha and the Hands are trying to calm down Ali but then the Rascalz run out. Maybe we’re getting an early start to the Trey vs Ali match. 

Image

Trey Miguel w/Wentz vs Mustafa Ali w/Tasha & Hands

Hopefully this is something worth actually typing about instead of WCW Thunder level of rushed throwaway trash.

They trade early chops, but Ali is pissed, no sells Trey and rocks him with a Forearm. Trey tries to Baseball Slide through the legs and roll into a Sunset Flip, but Ali rolls through, comes up with Trey and Powerbombs him moving immediately into Ground and Pound. Ali goes for a Reverse Powerslam, but Trey escapes it, tries to use his quickness, trips up Ali for a second as he goes to the apron and then he catches Trey in the ropes and hits the Draping DDT off the apron. Outside In Neckbreaker from Ali into a Standing Tornillo.

Ali throws Trey into the ropes, Trey tries something but Ali catches him, flips him vertical and then Dragon Suplex looks nasty. Ali heads back to the apron, wants the Outside In Rolling Neckbreaker, but Trey catches him with a Cutter! Trey puts a little Shake Rattle and Roll together, Ali tries to block the last one so Trey hits the ropes and lands a Lionsault. Ali powders and eats a Dive, Trey throws him back in, Meteora! 1-2-kick out! Trey gets a little frustrated but tries a front facelock, they trade cradles, Ali throws him to the ropes, Trey tries that Rewind Tiger Feint, but Ali hits a Missile Dropkick. Ali tells the Hands to finish things but Wentz comes out flying. Ali drives Wentz into the post, throws Trey back in and mouths off to Wentz. When he turns he eats Trey’s Knee Slide Tornado DDT.

Tasha distracts the ref, Hands attack Trey with a Double Choke Bomb on the Apron and Ali kills Trey with Crucifix Blade Runner.

Hardys come out to talk, they get a solid pop from the crowd, but nothing interesting gets said. The old “we let you down” promo and they’re trying to get across a fandom nickname of “Diehardyz” and that’s corny. They punctuate their part before the Nemeths of course come out with some Obsolete and Delete references. Ryan starts talking and gets booed loudly, so that’s nice, they both play in it well. Ryan makes some goofy faces, Nic and him poke fun at the Hardys and the fact that Jeff can’t come to Canada because he’s prohibidabido. 

So Santino comes out, says next week Jeff and Nic will have a singles match, so Matt will get a tag match against the Nemeths with a partner of his choosing. Kind of a stock standard promo, but the Nemeths and Santino made it fun. 

Huh, coming back from commercial there’s a video package from WWE showing the last time Jeff Hardy and Nic Nemeth had a match. 16 years ago. 

Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks

Brittnie is Chris Bey’s girlfriend and Alicia was always one of my favorites.

Victoria clocks Brittnie early, but Brittnie fires back, Victoria gets annoyed, hits her beautiful Northern Lights Suplex Hold for only a two. Victoria drives Brittnie into the corner, Brittinie tries to fight out, but Victoria catches her with a Tumbling Headscissors Take Over and then a Flying Axe Kick. Victoria’s gorgeous self wins, and Victoria looked pretty decent in the squash.

Masha comes out, attacks Victoria, so Tessa makes a save. Santino makes a tag match next week Blanshard and Crawfish vs Slamabitch and a partner of her choosing. Robert Stone overrides Santino and picks her partner for her and chooses Nikkita Lyons. 

Dog Collar Match: International Championship Match: Steve Maclin (c) vs Eric Young w/Northern Armoury

EY sandbags in the corner at the bell and then catches Maclin with an opportune yank of the chain and then starts a little dirty boxing and chain choking. Cardona is out on commentary because there’s a number 1 contender match next week for the International title. EY grinds the chain across Maclin’s face and the bridge of his nose, and he’s bleeding 40 seconds into the match.

Maclin powders but since it’s a dog collar match the jabronis get involved immediately. Maclin is bleeding like his last name is Rhodes, the jabronis get in some pot shots and EY just whips him with the chain, uses the post, just goes for classic deliberately paced hardcore brawl tactics. Maclin does manage to get a small flurry, EY does the Flair Corner Flop, then EY and the jabronis eat a SCUD before we go to commercial.

We come back, Maclin is back to getting murdered, and now all the potential number 1 contenders and either on commentary, the ramp or in the back watching a monitor. Even Mance Warner looks a little concerned and horny at the same time with the blood. Maclin is so bloody he looks like a post explosion scene from The Boys. Maclin fires, whips EY in the ropes, grabs him mid run, Headbutts him a few times, Jumping Thesz Press into the Ground and Pound with some chain whips. Jabronis come in and eat a Busakiu and Backbreaker, EY tries to take advantage but EY eats an Olympic Slam. Another Busaiku for EY, Jar Headbutt connects! EY kicks out at two, then powders but Maclin follows and wraps the chain around his neck and starts throwing EY around by the throat. Dorks fly at Maclin, he deflects them, but EY yanks the chain and Maclin falls off the apron. EY throws him back in, another two count. EY heads to the top, Maclin crotches him, bald Jabroni eats a Powerbomb, hair Jabroni heads a Buckle Bomb. EY slips the Tree, so Maclin puts the jabronis in the corner, Stacked Tag Em and Bag Em, Nerds get Caught in the Crosshairs!

EY sees the chance, kick to the gut, Piledriver! 1-2…KICK OUT! EY calls for the Macho Elbow but Maclin gets up, pulls him off the top with the chain and KIA! Maclin retains!

 

Overall Score: 4/10

A generally disappointing episode. The first hour felt like WCW Thunder written by Meth addicted Racoons. But the second hour starting with Mustafa, turned out to be okay. I’ve always enjoyed Alicia Fox aesthetically and she wasn’t bad in the ring, Mustafa being edgy is cool, Ryan Nemeth is a treasure, Tessa is still great and the dog collar match was decent.

So a mixed bag definitely. Rosemary is honestly useless anymore. She only gets a pop because of the gimmick, but her storylines have sucked, her matches aren’t great and this whole Infantile Sting knockoff of trying to stick to her morals and integrity and not do the mean things. Aztec Warriors are basic lucha stuff with no gimmick beyond the fact they’re luchadors. Lastly, the Trick Flair opening segment was okay at best but really just just paint by numbers.

It’s a sad turn of events when my favorite wrestling program anymore is WWE main roster stuff. Yikes…2025 is weird.

Toni Storm is here!

Or rather, she’s still here given just last night, the TIMELESS AEW Women’s World Champion won a Fatal 4 Way Eliminator. And now she’s in the special box seat “balcony” with mic in hand. Detroit cheers and she blows kisses before saying, “So many men have taken a shot at me in here, I’m feeling like Abraham Lincoln. I will never forget my first. It was messy, it was sweaty, and painful. But I only wanted more. Once a month, once a week, twice a week, I was hooked. But then, it only became more risky. One at a time, then two at a time. And three at a time! Incorporating random objects, all the while being watched by perverts.”

The fans cheer being perverts but then Toni says, “One day, it will not end well for me. It will break my body and soil my soul. But in the end, I know it’s what I was born to do. And if you think I was referring to sexual intercourse, then get your minds out of the gutter!” Toni takes a moment before she continues, “Because the best bang could not compare to fighting for this!” She holds up the title and the fans cheer more! “I am not waiting for a Hayter or a CEO. So next week, line up the next batch of slop tarts, because baby wants to binge!” The fans also like the sound of that! Toni says spit on it and sit on it, and let’s get TIMELESS~!

The fans applaud and Toni takes a bow. Beach Break just got that much bigger, but who will take their shot at The Tramp that is The Champ?

 

Backstage interview with Paragon.

Lexy Nair is with Adam Cole, Roderick Strong & Kyle O’Reilly to ask them about the 2 Out of 3 Falls last Saturday. Roddy says that to say they’re disappointed is an understatement. He and Kyle are one of the best teams on this planet, and they thought it’d be like riding a bike. But it has been a bit more difficult than they thought. Kyle agrees that they’re frustrated and disappointed, but what they aren’t doing is taking anything away from themselves. They’re the Paragon and they’re still one of the best tag teams out there. And any other day, any other time, 99 out of 100, Kyle & Roddy win that match.

Cole agrees, and he knows that was tough last week. But they are one of the best teams in the world. There will be plenty of chances to prove that this year. But in step the Grizzled Young Veterans and Zack Gibson says say that again. He can’t believe Paragon has the nerve to stand here sulking and complaining. Honestly, this three are three of the best ever. The problem is, they’ve gone soft! They’ve forgotten what it is to fight for their sport. So any time they’re ready, GYV will remind them what that’s like. Kyle & Roddy say why not. GYV will be the first time that gets stomped on Paragon’s way back to the top!

GYV laugh that off then take their leave. But when and where will Liverpool’s Number One & Mr. Mayhem take on the Savior of the Backbreaker & the Violent Artist?

 

Ricochet VS Angelico w/ Serpentico!

The One & Only just got a big win last night alongside the Young Bucks, but now he looks to get a win on his own. Will Ricochet make Detroit #OuttaThisWorld two nights in a row? Or will tonight belong to Spanish Announce Project’s South African Stud?

The bell rings and the fans rally as Angelico and Ricochet circle. They feel things out, circle more, then Angelico leaves Ricochet hanging by smoothing his hair. Ricochet says ha ha, more bald jokes. Ricochet waistlocks, the fans chant, “He Has Hair!” but Ricochet hammerlocks and snapmares to then ghost pin, TWO! Ricochet taunts Angelico that this is professional wrestling, not modeling. Angelico trips Ricochet to cover, ONE! Angelico has a cording hold and he keeps Ricochet from the ropes. Ricochet wrenches, but Angelico gets the cording hold back! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico arm-drags him to the mat!

The fans cheer more, but Ricochet kips up. Angelico wrangles him back down! Ricochet claws at Angelico but Angelico polishes the bald head! The fans cheer and Angelico keeps on the arm. Ricochet fights up again, but Angelico wrangles him back down! Angelico gives Ricochet more polish, then stands him up to wrench and cording hold. Ricochet throws a body shot, flips up and over, but Angelico switches arms for a modified Cobra Twist! Angelico holds up his hand and the fans cheer, but Ricochet fights free and bails out. The fans boo but then Angelico sneaks up to clamp on shoulder claws!

Ricochet fights back, and he THROWS Angelico to the floor! Ricochet skins the cat, then TORNILLO PLANCHAS! Ricochet takes down Angelico, taunts Serpentico, then goes storming off to grab a chair! Ricochet chases off #SNAKEMAN, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Ricochet gets up on the barrier to soak up more heat, and he even flicks sweat off his bald head! Ricochet puts Angelico in the ring, stalks him to ropes, then CHOKES him! The ref counts, Ricochet backs off, and Serpentico coaches Angelico. Angelico sputters but Ricochet brings him up for a snapmare. Ricochet digs his knee into Angelico’s back as part of the chinlock. Angelico endures, fights up, and fires body shots. Angelico is free, runs the ropes, but Ricochet DROPKICKS him down! Ricochet taunts the fans, covers Angelico, TWO! Angelico is tougher than that but Ricochet covers again, ONE! And again, ONE! And again, ONE!!

Ricochet throws a fit and SLAPS Angelico down before arguing with the ref. The ref defends the count, so Ricochet just stomps away on Angelico’s back! Ricochet taunts the fans, goes back to stomp Angelico and kick him around, then he kicks Angelico to the ropes. Angelico rises to BODY BLOW! And JAB! Ricochet staggers back, Angelico fires more shots! Angelico runs, KICKS the backdrop away, then runs again, only for Ricochet to FLAPJACK him off ropes and JUMPING NECKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Angelico survives and Collision returns to single picture. Ricochet storms his way to a corner while the fans boo.

Ricochet aims and 450- NO, he has to bail out as Angelico moves! Ricochet comes back but Angelico dodges again, Ricochet hits only buckles! Angelico swings, Ricochet dodges and shoves to TIGER WALL KICK! And SOBAT! KNEE! But Angelico KNEES in return! Ricochet rebounds to V-TRIGGER! ROLLING- NO, Angelico clinches for a LIFTING FLATLINER! The fans fire up while both men are down! A standing count starts, Ricochet and Angelico stir, and they rise at 5 of 10. Angelico counters a punch and then fires haymakers! Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but then Ricochet catches the leap!

Angelico fights Ricochet’s clinch with elbows, then whips, but Ricochet reverses, Angelico LEAPING LARIATS! And LEAPING LARIATS again! The fans fire up and Angelico storms up to Ricochet. Angelico whips, Ricochet reverses, but Angelico reverses back! COBRA TWIST, and the HEAD SLAPS! The fans fire up as Angelico just takes Ricochet to task! Ricochet sputters and staggers around, Angelico kicks and Canadian Racks! YOYO SLAM, into a hammerlock and HALF CRAB! Ricochet endures, reaches out, but Angelico gets the other arm! Ricochet kicks with his free leg and has the ROPEBREAK! The fans boo but Angelico lets go.

Ricochet goes to the apron, Angelico storms up, but Ricochet HOTSHOTS him! And then FLICKS the ropes at Angelico to hit down low! Ricochet then springboards and FLYING LARIATS! The fans boo but Ricochet runs for a STANDING SHOOTING STAR! Cover, TWO! Ricochet just keeps going, dragon sleeper for the VERTIGO!! Ricochet rolls back, locks ‘n’ loads, and SPIRIT GUN!! Cover, Ricochet wins!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

Ricochet made sure Angelico was done before he got the 1-2-3, and now he gets the mic. “Go ahead. C’mon, I can’t hear you! I can’t hear you!” The fans boo and taunt him more and Ricochet says he welcomes it all! Their boos mean NOTHING to him, because he sees what they cheer for. And c’mon, if you cheer for the Detroit Lions, that means you’re dumb as hell. If you were smart, if you had any amount of common sense, you’d be cheering for him! The fans keep taunting him with “They’re Not Bald!” But Ricochet says the Eagles won the Super Bowl, what’re they talking about? They should be cheering him, because he’s been here less than a year and he’s beaten most of the favorites!

Brody King, Will Ospreay, Mike Bailey, Kevin Knight, Mark Briscoe, Swerve Strickland, and even Kenny Omega! All of them are AEW legends, and Ricochet beat them all! But wait, speaking of legends… Ricochet points out the living legend, Zach Gowen! Ricochet remembers growing up, watching wrestling, he was a huge fan of Zach Gowen. Huge fan. He remembers when big Brock would beat him up and down the arena, that was awesome. But the thing is, Daddy Gowen used to be on this side of the barriers, but now he’s on the other side of them. What happened, Zach? Doesn’t have a leg in the fight anymore?

Ricochet laughs at his own offensive joke, and then asks where that fire is now. He pushes Zach around, security rushes in and Ricochet says he wasn’t doing anything! They’re just talking! Then he BOPS each and every guard! They like that? Ricochet THROWS one guy into railing! Ricochet does his own commentary as he sends another one into the steel steps! Then he puts the third one in the ring, and says Zach might like this. The fans boo but now Ricochet brings out THE SCISSORS! Ricochet cuts this guy’s hair up! But Zach jumps into the ring!! The fans cheer as Zach snatches the scissors from Ricochet!

The fans cheer as Zach asks what is wrong with Ricochet! Ricochet says sorry, sorry! But then he KICKS Zach’s leg out! And then SPIRIT GUN!! The fans boo even more but Ricochet isn’t done with Zach. He takes Zach’s prosthetic leg away! The fans boo as loud as they can as Ricochet leaves with the leg! Ricochet isn’t just humiliating Zach Gowen, he’s committing a crime! Ricochet holds the leg up as a trophy, then mockingly limps with it. Will anyone ever humble the ego that is #OuttaThisWorld?

 

8 Man Tag: The Don Callis Family VS The Outrunners, Bandido & AR Fox!

Don Callis himself dared Truth Magnum & Turbo Floyd to find a friend so they could settle things with Roppongi Vice and the Family, but the Outrunners did better than that! They found TWO friends! Will the Most Wanted ROH World Champion and the Whole Fox’n Show help the Youngest Men Alive humble Callis’ cronies? Or will Trent Beretta, Rocky Romero, Lance Archer & Kyle Fletcher use them to take out all of their frustrations?

Callis of course joins commentary while the teams sort out. Callis calls tonight “Don Callis Championship Wrestling,” and says Detroit boos him and his Family because it is a city of losers. Kyle Fletcher starts against Bandido and the fans fire up. Kyle and Bandido circle, the fans rally up more, and they tie up. They go around, Kyle puts Bandido on the ropes.

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!

After the assault and humiliation that we saw earlier tonight, Zach Gowen is going to make his return to wrestling! Will Zach get revenge on Ricochet for taking things too far?

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

“So, we’re through the obligatory preamble, casualties on both sides. Last night, you took out my number one lieutenant. Now I could vow revenge and talk about all the things I’m gonna do to Samoa Joe once I get him inside that steel cage. But that would be rather rote, and probably mostly untrue. What do we know? The consensus is Samoa Joe is gonna kick my ass. And yeah, there’s nobody on the planet better at getting their ass kicked than me. The question isn’t whether Joe will beat me up. The question is, how long can he do it? Five, eight minutes? Ten? 20? 25? I’ve got all night.

“I know you don’t think very much of me, Joe, but you are one of the guys that I have genuine respect for. You are the embodiment of a champion. But you’re not the AEW World Champion, I am. And I know that no matter what happens to me inside that steel cage in Chicago, no matter what Hell is put on me, no matter what I am put through in that steel cage, I know I have been through worse. I have been through the kind of Hell, I have weathered the kind of storms, I have faced down the kinds of demons that would keep these kids up at night. So I don’t need to be feared or respected by you or anybody else. I just need you to show up.

“I don’t get along with the rest of the world because I am not like the rest of the world. And believe it or not, next week, there is nowhere else in the world I would rather be than locked inside a steel cage in Chicago with the AEW World Championship hanging in the balance, with the baddest man in pro-wrestling, Samoa Joe. I didn’t build my foundation on sand. When the storm comes through, the only thing that matters is who is the last man standing.” The Maniac has issued his ultimatum, will he ultimately be the baddest man in AEW?

 

Anthony Bowens w/ Billy Gunn VS Lee Johnson w/ Blake Christian!

The Pride of Pro-Wrestling is ready to prove he’s worthy of all the opportunities before him, but that means having others step to the plate. #BigShotty thinks he can get a hit off the 5 Tool Player, but will he be able to go yard? Or will he just get Molly Whopped and sent back to the dugout?

The bell rings and the fans rally behind Bowens. Bowens and Lee tie up, Bowens wrenches and wristlocks, but Lee wrenches back. Bowens slips through, wrenches and hammerlocks, then he spins and snapmares Lee to an Oklahoma Roll! TWO, and Bowens tries a cradle, TWO! Lee is up to headlock back, but Bowens powers up and out. Lee goes up and over, baits Bowens into a waistlock, but Bowens switches. Lee switches, then he shoves Bowens! “You’re nothing!” The fans boo and Bowens scowls. Lee talks more trash, but Bowens CHOPS Lee off his feet! Bowens stalks Lee to a corner, CHOPS again, and the fans “WOO~!”

Bowens CHPOS again, and again, and again! Bowens then stomps a mudhole into Lee! The ref counts, Bowens steps off at 4, and Bowens apologizes. Lee bails out, Bowens pursues, and Lee tries to apologize. But then Lee bumps into Daddy Ass! Lee looks and sees Billy, apologizes to him now, but Bowens ROCKS Lee! Bowens whips Lee hard into barriers and the fans fire up! Bowens puts Lee in the ring, but Lee kicks low! Lee eggs Bowens on, whips, but Bowens hurdles and mule kicks! Front kicks! FAMOUSER! The fans fire up and Bowens wrenches to lift Lee, SWING OUT FACEBUSTER! Cover, ONE?!?

Billy is annoyed, but then Blake gets on the apron! Bowens backs the Vanilla Babyface off, but then he dodges Lee’s sneak attack! Bowens fireman’s carries, Lee slips free and shoves Bowens to ropes. Billy wants after Blake but the ref keeps him back. Bowens ELBOWS Lee away, but Blake swipes at him! Lee then DUMPS Bowens out! Bowens staggers up, Lee FLIES, and he gets just enough of Bowens to take him down! Then Lee and Blake mock the scissor fingers! The fans boo but Lee puts Bowens in the ring. Lee reels Bowens in, suplexes, but Bowens slips free! Bowens shoves Lee away, runs up, and he blocks the boot! But not the ENZIGIRI!

Lee SUPERKICKS Bowens, runs, but into the Rock, Paper, Scissors, SUPERKICK! The fans fire up and Bowens shows them how it’s done! He puts up the scissors, then shouts for his shot! But Blake gets on the apron! Bowens grabs Blake, Lee rolls Bowens up with tights, TWO!! MOLLY WHOP!! Cover, Bowens wins!

Winner: Anthony Bowens, by pinfall

Blake tried to tip the scales, but then he also storms into the ring! Billy gets in Blake’s way and Blake backs up. Blake  “apologizes,” but then he takes a swing! Billy stops that and TOSSES Blake out! Billy says “SUCK IT!” Bowens grabs a mic to tell Detroit, “What you just saw was the Pride of Professional Wrestling! The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. And I am in a really good mood, so y’know what? Billy, throw ’em up! Detroit, throw ’em up! And make some noise!” And they SCISSOR FINGER~! For old time’s sake, Bowens embraces the old gimmick. But will nothing stop Bowens from making himself a contender?

 

The Gates of Agony are here!

Detroit cheers as Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona walk out to the ring, but they grab mics so they can talk. Kaun calls out Bryan Keith & Big Bill. “You think you’re gonna walk through these Gates unscathed, unburned, and redeem yourselves in the eyes of Chris Jericho?” The fans boo and Kaun says, “Hell no, Paradise has to be earned. And these Gates right here? They’re gonna stop you in your tracks.” Liona says, “And this time, we’re not doing it in a parking lot! Y’know why? Because we’re in Detroit! Why not do this right here, right now!?” The fans cheer and Liona tells Big Bill & Bryan Keith, you heard the people! Get out here and fight!

The shirts come off, and here come the Redwood & Bad Apple! They go right to the ring and the brawl is on! The fans fire up as Bill has Kaun and Keith has Liona! Bill hammers away on Kaun in a corner, Liona ROCKS Keith, but Keith roars! Keith runs, only for Liona to LARIAT him down! Bill BOOTS Liona down! Bill goes out after Liona, but then Keith LARIATS Kaun and himself up and out of the ring! Bill and Liona brawl, Linoa shoves Bill into railing and CLUBS him! Keith and Kaun brawl on the floor, Liona SMACKS Bill off steel steps! Liona fires up, the fans are torn, and Liona runs in, only for Bill to send him into railing! In fact, Liona goes over the railing!

Keith staggers but Kaun keeps after him. Kaun brings Keith to the ramp but Keith elbows free! Keith runs but Kaun fireman’s carries! SAMOAN DROP down through tables!! Fans lose their minds, and somehow Liona is up! Liona and Bill now brawl on the stage, even as security and producer Kevin Matthews try to stop this! But there’s no stopping it, and Bill BOOTS Liona! Liona wobbles, but then he roars! Liona SPEARS Bill off the stage and down through tables!! The fans lose their minds all over again! The Gates and the Branches are down around ringside, is the Learning Tree impressed watching this at home?

 

AEW hears from Anna Jay & Harley Cameron, as well as Penelope Ford & Megan Bayne.

The Queenslayer says, “Megan, you really like to pick fights, huh? I don’t care how big you are, how hard you hit, I will wrap my arms around you and make you sleep!” The Superbad Girl says Anna has been gone a long time, and the Megasus says things have changed. There is a new animal in this jungle, and having a pure heart, fat ass and good friends isn’t gonna cut it. But the wild Aussie tells the Megasus, “I bet your back is blown out after the fight that I brought last night!” Anna says don’t say it like. Ford tells Harley to stop hiding behind Anna’s fat ass already. Ford & Megan want them to fight and learn that mercy is the one thing they never mastered.

Harley shouts that she and Anna will SLAY THE MEGASUS, and all will FEEL THE WRATH! And so BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break Collision! Anna Jay VS Megan Bayne will happen next Saturday when Collision returns to TNT!

Former friends, bitter enemies, and now maybe somewhere in between, the Babe with the Power and the Galaxy’s Greatest will battle 1v1 once more! But will we truly see she’s a #BornAgainKristen when this fight helps her make amends with Willow? Or will nothing Kris does matter, and Willow will smile anyway?

The bell rings and the two circle. The two start pushing, and then shoving, and then Willow wrenches to wrangle Kris. Kris fights up to wrench back and headlock, but Willow powers out to headlock in return. Kris powers up and out, then reels Willow in for her own headlock.

The CHOPS keep going and the fans “WOO~!” Willow then fires off forearms! And an ENZIGIRI! Kris sputters to a corner, Willow storms up, and the fans cheer as she bumps Kris off buckles! Then she brings Kris to another corner for another buckle bump! And then the third corner! And the fourth corner!

The fans fire up as Willow completes the lap, snapmares Kris and BOOTS her down! Willow whips Kris again, but Kris sunset flips! TWO, Willow sits up into a BUZZSAW! Cover, TWO!

Before they take on Will Ospreay & Hangman Page for Beach Break, The Alpha & Walking Weapon are going to make an example out of the Cowboy’s former friends. Will this be the end of The Dark Order once and for all? Or can Evil Uno & Alex Reynolds survive despite not having the Numbers?

Who will the two mystery participants be? And will anyone be able to score on the Whore We All Adore this close to Double or Nothing?

 

Daniel Garcia VS Dax Harwood w/ Cash Wheeler & Stokely Hathaway!

For the longest time, Red Death respected FTR and FTR respected him. But after FTR selfishly betrayed Adam Copeland and put themselves ahead of everyone else, Garcia could not stand by and do nothing. Garcia dared one of the Top Guys to step up, will he take that Top Guy out? Or will this (emotionally) hurt FTR more than it hurts Garcia?

The bell rings and Dax circles with Garcia. Garcia is also wary of how Cash and #BigStoke are moving around ringside. The fans taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” so it isn’t just Ricochet anymore.

He’s allowed to do that, right? The fans still taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” Dax stands Garcia up, reels him in, but Garcia fights the lift! Dax pulls on Garcia’s hair to then CHOP him! Garcia bails out, Dax pursues, and Dax brings Garcia around.

Dax talks trash on the fans, then reels Garcia in. Garcia fights the lift again, trips Dax up, and then CATAPULTS Dax into the POST! The fans fire up while Dax falls in a heap! Garcia stands, rolls into the ring, but just long enough to refresh the count. Dax is busted open and Garcia is right on that bloody forehead! Dax wants mercy but Garcia only backs off to get space. Garcia puts up his dukes, does his dance, and then runs in for a DROPKICK! Dax hits barriers, but Garcia runs again! Another DROPKICK into the barriers! And then a third DROPKICK into the barriers!

The fans boo as Cash says no more! Garcia seethes, and he still runs up, but Dax LARIATS Garcia down! Cash bought Dax time, and now Dax huffs ‘n’ puffs through his crimson mask. Dax puts Garcia in the ring, then he grabs the ring bell! The ref stops Dax and they tug-o-war over it! Dax lets the ref have the bell, but then Garcia trips Dax!

The fans fire up, Stoke freaks out, and Menard fires off on Cash in a corner! Detroit is all fired up as Collision goes picture in picture!

Cash runs away to the back but Menard pursues! Now things are a bit more even, with Stoke coaching a bloodied and dazed Dax. Dax staggers to his feet, goes over to Garcia, and drags him up to put him in the ring. Dax talks more trash on the fans, then he storms in after Garcia. Dax suplexes and hits a BRAINBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Garcia is still in this and Dax grows frustrated. The ref checks Dax while the fans rally behind Garcia. Dax is okay to continue, and he brings Garcia up, only for Garcia to cradle! TWO!! Dax stands and LARIATS Garcia down! Dax huffs ‘n’ puffs and TOSSES Garcia to the apron! Dax brings Garcia through the ropes, to then CHOP!

Detroit tells Dax he done F’d up, but Nigel just puts his headset back on. Nigel says he is a professional, but a professional commentator. Dax is the wrestler, so Nigel will not touch him. Dax SHOVES Nigel down! Nigel is furious but Dax already storms off to find Garcia. Dax puts Garcia in the ring, but Garcia reels Dax in! Dax fights the lift, Stoke barks from the apron! The ref backs stoke off, but Dax LOW BLOWS Garcia!

But now Nigel is storming down to ringside! Garcia fights the lift and Nigel is on the apron! Dax storms up on Nigel, but Nigel RAMS Dax down low! UPPERCUT! But Cash is back! He kicks Nigel low, reels him in, but Nigel WRINGS Cash out! Garcia LARIATS Dax up and out, and clearly by now the ref has just thrown this one out!

Menard is back and he LARIATS Cash up and out! The fans fire up as Menard, Garcia and McGuinness stand tall together! FTR kept pushing buttons but they pushed the wrong ones! Will Stoke, Dax & Cash have to fear the repercussions of their actions?


My Thoughts:

A great Collision, but it apparently caught a bit of the Go Home Syndrome. There were quite a few recap packages I skipped but clearly they are working to hype Beach Break for next. Moxley’s newest promo was alright, didn’t really add much, because as I said just last night, Moxley surely finds a way to retain with help from The Death Riders. I will say, it made a lot of sense for the remaining Death Riders to cost Willow. Marina and Willow still have beef, and I’m still hoping on my idea from last night: Shayna Baszler shows up, teams with Marina, we get Shayna & Marina VS Willow & Kris. Let’s up the ante and get another classic Street Fight Tag out of Kris & Willow.

Great promo from Toni Storm to open the night, and good to hear Skye Blue is back. Another Fatal 4 Way Eliminator makes me wonder if one of the mystery entrants ends up taking the loss. There was also that spider during Kris VS Willow, which I believe is a teaser for Thekla. Thekla could easily jump into the Fatal 4 Way and get close to winning, but who knows. And as I said last night, not sure why they’re holding Athena back from doing much of anything right now. With Supercard of Honor now delayed to July to coincide with All In: Texas, Athena should really be getting involved more on AEW TV so people don’t forget she exists.

Very good stuff with Bowens VS Lee, and I appreciate the albeit lazy way they changed Bowen’s logo so that it doesn’t resemble the Shane Taylor Promotions’ STP. Bowens of course wins, but his promo after was pretty much the same as his other ones. At least he did one last scissoring with Billy. Bowens is unfortunately not going to get a title story right now with all the champions preoccupied in something else. Though honestly, I feel like there is a way for Okada VS Bowens to be a great match, and then someone violates the Continental Rules so that Okada loses without really losing. Best way I can think of is Swerve is hunting The Bucks, they go ringside, and since Bucks are associate with Okada, that’s a violation on his part, and it adds more heat to whatever big thing Double or Nothing has planned.

Great stuff from the Don Callis Family in all their matches. I wasn’t expecting a big 8 Man Tag, and I’m a little disappointed Brody King wasn’t one of the participants, but maybe that’s the next phase. Great showing from the Faces, especially AR Fox. Fox is in a similar boat to Bowens where he certainly deserves title opportunities but TK just isn’t seeing how to write it. But between that and the dominance Konosuke & Alexander over Dark Order, it feels like the Don Callis Family get their comeuppance with Hangman & Ospreay winning next week.

Ricochet VS Angelico was rather outta nowhere but it was still a great match. It was also clearly a vehicle so Ricochet could start beef with Zach (Zack?) Gowen and give us a Beach Break match between them for the real deepcut long time wrestling fans. Much like Bowens and Fox, I feel like Ricochet is waiting on a title to be freed up from story so he can go get those titles. Such as Paragon now feuding with Grizzled Young Veterans for a minute, which in a way keeps Adam Cole isolated. TK should’ve just given us Ricochet VS Cole for the fun of it because Ricochet VS Cole would be incredibly fun stuff. They could even revisit their NXT history if they wanted to.

Great stuff with Gates of Agony and Learning Tree, that was much better than last week’s. I really hope this gives us a Tornado Tag match. For that matter, why aren’t we getting that in the story of Anna Jay & Harley Cameron VS Megan Bayne & Penelope Ford? Good promo from those teams to hype up… just Anna VS Megan… It’d make Beach Break Collision feel all the bigger but whatever, maybe they feel Ford still isn’t up to speed after that Fatal 4 Way last night. But doing a chaotic tag match could help iron out some of that so that Ford can just focus on what she is good at with the gymnastics and throwing hands.

And awesome stuff with Garcia VS “Dax the Axe” in the main event. And yeah, I didn’t put it in myself, but they’re really committing to that as Dax’s ring name right now. Great to see Menard helping Garcia, and even Nigel standing up for himself against Dax. A “No Contest” result was a little odd but I suppose that’s like saying it is a draw where no one goes over. But with the Faces standing tall, maybe Nigel steps in and teams with Garcia right now for Double or Nothing so that Garcia teaming with Cope is the All In moment.

My Score: 8.8/10
