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 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!

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.

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

Ricochet V-TRIGGERS, then he reels Ospreay in! But Ospreay fights out of the bomb, but then Ricochet returns the favor! Ricochet suplexes, into STUN DOG MILLIONAIRE! Ospreay springboards for the OSC- CUTTER FROM RICOCHET!! Ricochet hurries to get Ospreay up, powerbomb into fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! SPIRIT- HIDDEN BLADE!! Both men are down and the fans are thunderous! Ospreay and Ricochet both slowly sit up and the fans rally as hard as ever. Ricochet and Ospreay stare down, talk a bit of trash, then stand up. Ospreay draws a line in the sand and dares Ricochet to step up.

Ricochet steps right up, they stand toe to toe, literally! They start firing forearms! The fans cheer Ospreay, boo Ricochet, and Ricochet wobbles! But then Ricochet comes back with forearm after forearm! Ospreay wobbles, but he grins as he rises and roars! Ospreay fires a flurry on Ricochet, then ROCKS him! Ricochet flops over, Ospreay hauls him up! But Ricochet grabs at the ref! Ospreay kicks Ricochet’s arm away, but then Ricochet RAMS Ospreay into the ref! The fans boo but then Ricochet hurries to HOOK KICK! And VERTI- NO, Ospreay slips free to underhook! STORM BREAKER! Cover, but the ref is down!

The fans count, Ospreay would’ve won twice over! Ospreay calls to the ref, the ref sputters around, and Ospreay goes up. But then Ricochet kicks the ref into ropes! Ospreay gets tripped up and the fans boo more! Ospreay is confused as to what happened, but SPIRIT GUN hits the mark!! Cover, RICOCHET WINS!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Ospreay earns 0)

The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?

 

Adam Cole heads to the ring!

The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.

MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.

When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.

Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.

Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!

In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.

But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.

But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!

Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!

But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?

 

Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.

Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?

Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?

 

Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.

AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.

“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?

 

Kris Statlander VS Penelope Ford!

As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?

The bell rings and the fans rally as Kris circles with Ford. They tie up, Kris powers Ford to a corner, then throws Ford back into the corner! The ref counts, Kris lets off, but Ford shoves her! Kris ROCKS Ford, TOSSES her, then runs up on her. Kris whips, drops down, then hurdles over. Kris CLOBBERS Ford and the fans fire up as she flexes. Kris drags Ford up, reels her in, and suplexes, and she holds Ford up! The fans cheer and Kris goes all the way to TEN, but Ford slips into a SLEEPER! Kris pries the hold open and she brings Ford around for another suplex! The fans fire up as Kris holds Ford up for five before the SLAM! Cover, TWO!

Kris drags Ford up, whips her to the corner, but Ford goes up, only for Kris to Electric Chair Lift! Kris climbs, Ford fights with fists, and she shoves Kris down! Ford steadies herself, then hits a FLYING BLOCKBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford is frustrated but she storms up on Kris. Ford bumps Kris off buckles but the fans rally behind Kris. Ford stomps a mudhole, but she lets off as the ref counts. Kris goes to the apron, but Ford jumps up to drop KNEES on her! The fans boo but Ford soaks up the heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.

Ford brings Kris around to THROW her into railing! Ford soaks up more heat, then drags Kris up and RAMS her into the apron! Ford refreshes the count, then stalks Kris around the way. Ford whips Kris into the steel steps! Kris falls over in a heap but Ford drags her up into the ring. Ford covers, TWO! Kris stays in this but Ford kicks her around. Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes, thrashes around, but lets off as the ref counts. Ford drags Kris up and whips her to ropes, then LARIATS as Collision goes to break.

Christmas Collision returns and Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes again! The ref counts, Ford lets off and Kris sputters to the apron. Ford runs and goes up, up, and KNEE DROPS on only apron! Kris then SHOTGUNS Ford off the apron! The fans fire up and Kris brings Ford up, to THROW into railing! Kris puts Ford in the ring, the fans fire up, but Ford kicks low. Ford reels Kris in, but Kris suplexes, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford flounders to a corner but Kris has the fans rallying behind her. Kris runs up to UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side but Ford dodges the knee! Ford hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!

Ford wasn’t quite perfect there but she watches Kris go to a corner. Ford runs corner to corner, handsprings, but Kris catches her! The fans fire up as Kris GERMAN SUPELXES, but Ford lands out! but Kris goes Matrix to dodge! So does Ford! STUNNER! Ford runs, Kris does her best to follow, but Ford hops up for a POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Ford is beside herself, but she drags Kris to a drop zone. Ford goes up top, and MOONSAULTS BUT FLOPS as Kris moves! Kris hurries to deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! The fans fire up as Kris scoops to tuck Ford in! STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!

Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall

Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!

The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?

 

Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.

They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!

And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.

But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!

The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-

Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?

 

Backstage interview with The Vendetta.

Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message  last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.

Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?

 

AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Shelton Benjamin VS Daniel Garcia!

By the end of 2024, I said I was gonna get my hands on you, and that’s what I did, courtesy of the most dangerous man in AEW. Whose house?!” “SWERVE’S HOUSE!” Swerve is still aiming for Lashley’s head, will he and Lashley have it out at Worlds End?

 

AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Mark Briscoe VS The Beast Mortos!

After getting a couple shockers, The Sussex County Chicken could easily jump up to the front of the block with one more! But will he #ManUp and bring down the menacing minotaur? Or will The Beast be a massive spoiler for Briscoe?

Julia Hart speaks.

“Jamie, Jamie, Jamie. I’m no coward. What you call tricks, I call advantages. I suggested that you watch your back. I gave you all the warnings. So I’m not understanding why you feel the need to call me classless and sneaky. I thought I was being more than reasonable. I know you’re strong, but are you smart? Are my ‘tricks’ too much for you? I guess we’ll find out January 1st, Fight for the Fallen. But remember: The House Always Wins.” The Princess of the Black Throne is ready, but will she learn Hayter Hits Hard?

PLAY BY PLAY

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!

Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!

Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!

Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!

And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?

Konosuke Takeshita & Brian Cage w/ Don Callis VS “Powerhouse” Will Hobbs & Mark Davis!

The teams sort out and Konosuke starts against Hobbs to give the DC fans a preview of Worlds End. Hobbs and Konosuke step up, talk trash, and then the forearms go back and forth! The fans cheer for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” and Hobbs ROCKS Konosuke! Hobbs even shouts “MEAT!” before he whips Konosuke. Konosuke ducks ‘n’ dodges but then so does Hobbs! Hobbs SPINE- NO, Konosuke flails free and Hobbs says it was that close. Konosuke says to cool off while he paces on the outside. Konosuke steps back into the ring, but he tags to Cage. The fans stay fired up for “MEAT! MEAT! MEAT!” as Cage and Hobbs circle.

Hobbs and Cage DOUBLE LARIAT! Neither man falls, so they DOUBLE LARIAT again! And again! And again! Cage kicks low, shouts, “Who Betta Than Cage?” But then Hobbs CLOBBERS him!

The Alpha slam dunks on Dunkzilla, and now he has 8 days to prepare for the Powerhouse! Will Konosuke hold onto his International Championship against Hobbs? Or will taking that title be the perfect payback?

 

Backstage interview with Willow Nightingale.

Renee Paquette is with the Babe with the Power who is in action later tonight. But first, Renee wants to congratulate Willow to making it to the finals of the inaugural International Women’s Cup. She heads off to Tokyo very soon, how is she feeling about it? Willow is very excited. Inaugural WrestleDynasty, one step closer to the inaugural International Women’s Cup winner, and so it is mind boggling after how- Kris Statlander steps in. Kris tells Willow that there is a lot she should say, but for now, she’ll say good luck at the Tokyo Dome. #BornAgainKristen takes Willow by surprise, will Willow win tonight and have momentum going to the New Year?

 

Lio Rush & Action Andretti VS Myles Hawkins & Goldy!

The dysfunction in Top Flight Airlines led to The Bad Child & The Sight to See winning over Darius & Dante Martin, meaning they’re next up to face Private Party. Will this be little more than a tune-up for Lio & Action?

The teams sort out, Lio starts against Myles, but then Lio handspring kicks Goldy off the apron! Myles back suplexes but Lio lands out and then dodges! Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles.

Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!

Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall

Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?

 

Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.

Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…

Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?

Willow Nightingale VS Harley Cameron!

The bell rings and the fans rally as the two tie up. Harley pushes but Willow digs in her heels to SHOVE Harley down. Harley comes back, she and Willow reset and tie up again. Willow puts Harley in a corner, the ref counts, and Willow lets off. DC duels between Willow and Harley, and Harley wants a Test of Strength. Willow accepts the knuckle locks, but then Harley kicks low! Harley runs, wheelbarrows, but Willow turns that into a BIG back suplex! The fans cheer as Willow runs, DIVING BODY PRESS! Cover, TWO! Willow bumps Harley off buckles, then fires LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans count al the way to TEN!

Willow brings Harley out with a smile, and scoop SLAMS her! Harley flounders, Willow storms up on her for another scoop and SLAM, right as Rampage goes picture in picture.

Willow storms around while Harley staggers up. Willow scoops Harley again, then carries her around to put her in the Tree of Woe! Willow stomps a mudhole in, then lets off to run up! But Harley BOOTS her while upside-down! Harley gets free, ELBOWS Willow, then runs to knee her low! Harley runs with Willow to HOTSHOT BULLDOG! Willow is stuck in ropes, and Harley AX KICKS her! Harley then headscissors Willow to CHOKE her in the ropes! The ref counts, Harley lets go at 4, and Harley soaks up cheers and jeers from DC. Harley stomps Willow, then drags her to the outside. Harley SMACKS Willow off the apron!

Holiday Bash returns and Willow CANNONBALLS, but Harley dodges! Willow hits only buckles and she hobbles after Harley. Harley kicks, KNEES, and ENZIGIRIS! Harley roars, runs, and SHINING WIZARDS! Cover, TWO! The fans fire up but Harley grows frustrated. The fans rally while Harley waistlocks, but Willow switches! Harley kicks free to switch back, but Willow ELBOWS Harley back! Willow fireman’s carries, storms around, but Harley pops up! Harley fires down elbows, then victory rolls, TWO! Willow escapes and ROCKS Harley! Fireman’s carry, DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Cover, TWO!

Harley survives but Willow roars! The fans fire up as the straps come down! Willow gut wrenches for the BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!

Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall

Willow faced the wrath of Harley Cameron and she prevailed! But then PENELOPE FORD goes after Willow! The fans boo but Ford did say she’d back Harley up. They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?

 

Team Triple J speaks backstage.

Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?

 

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!

While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?

The bell rings and we’re on the clock. Brody and Komander circle while the fans bark it up. There are fans who sing “OLE~ OLE OLE OLE~” for Komander as the two tie up. But then Brody picks Komande up with both hands, and puts him on the to rope. Brody pats Komander on the shoulder, and the fans bark more. Komander hops down, not intimidated by Brody’s size.

Winner: Brody King, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Komander earns 0)

If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?


My Thoughts:

A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.

Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.

And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.

My Score: 8.8/10
