PLAY BY PLAY
It’s the WrestleMania 38 Kickoff Show!
The most STUPENDOUS weekend is almost over, but join Kayla Braxton, Kevin Patrick, Booker T, Jerry “The King” Lawler and Peter Rosenberg for another two hours to discuss last night, as well as discuss, analyze and predict this night’s card!
What is God Mode?
Roman Reigns himself says, “God Mode is 200 IQ plus world class athlete. It’s not a switch, it’s years and years of work. It’s a journey. And anyone who has reached the top of what they do understands what it takes. That’s allowed me to that point of experience where I’m just smarter than everybody else.” Roman is in Western Florida and the gym. The gym doesn’t acknowledge him. If he can’t do it, he can’t do it. He pushes himself every single time. What someone does in the weight room, it has to translate to the field, tot he ring. Explosion, power, conditioning. Roman gets stronger as the match goes on.
He still believes in the old school, nitty gritty, pick up the weight and own it. All the classic lifts. These are what the real pros have tapped into and it is nothing different for him. He knows how to handle Brock Lesnar. He learned from every false step, reanalyzed every little detail that we thought of, and the ones we didn’t because we’re not as smart of him. There is one sliver of credit that goes to that “Hillbilly farm boy.” He’ll be in the record books as the supporting player to the number one guy, Roman Reigns. Roman has manifested the outcome he sees fit for the Tribal Chief, the Head of the Table, the Bloodline. God Mode gonna come easy.
This is Roman’s sixth main event and he will finally beat Brock to become the greatest WWE Champion of all time. No arguments, no debates, this is factual. The biggest main event of all time, and Roman’s ready. Will Dallas be ready for it?
Matt Camp hangs out with more fans.
Tonight could be a Jackass playground! Team Johnny or Team Sami? One young lady says she grew up with Johnny, she can’t wait to see the stunts he pulls! But one of the guys says he’s done with celebrities thinking they can perform. Sami will Helluva Kick Johnny back to Hollywood! What happens when it is truly Anything Goes?
Jackie Redmond is with fans inside the arena.
Another wild and rowdy crowd is ready for this one, and they have traveled far and wide from all over the world! How far did these guys come from? Bangladesh! And all worth it, baby! They are here to see Roman Reigns, what do they predict? He’ll SMASH Lesnar all over AT&T Stadium! Well, the Head of the Table likes to be acknowledge, will they acknowledge him? “Tribal Chief! We acknowledge you! The one!”
Backstage interview with Paul Heyman.
Megan says the moment is finally here: the biggest WrestleMania Match ever. Title unification! Is Heyman nervous? “That’s the best question that she has for me?” Well, yes, he is nervous. But he’s more than a little nervous. HE’s… ill at ease. He doesn’t feel well. Tonight, Heyman has to mourn the end of a friendship, and a career that has spanned over 20 years. One of an NCAA Heavyweight Champion, a UFC Heavyweight Champion, and a WWE Heavyweight and Universal Heavyweight Champion. The loss of a friendship and career of Brock Lesnar. Heyman’s been here before. Deja vu even.
He’s speaking of WrestleMania 30, when Heyman knew he would conquer The Undertaker’s undefeated streak and half that credit went to Lesnar. But he knew it would happen. And knew that was the beginning of the end of The Deadman. The downward spiral that would bring the end of an exquisite career. And the way Heyman felt for Taker at the hands of Lesnar is how he feels now for Lesnar at the hands of Roman Reigns! This is a must-win match for both but there must be a loser! One man will stand above the other, both titles in the air, and that man and Heyman look down at the end of the career of Brock…! Lesnar!
Maria Menounos interviews Zelina Vega & Carmella.
She asks the Queen of the Ring and the Most Beautiful Woman in WWE how they’re going to retain. Oh, how cute. They’ll explain a Fatal 4 Way to her: Vega can get a pinfall or submission, or Mella can get a pinfall or submission, and they retain. But then what about the other six women in the match? Oh, Liv? A weirdo. Rhea? A spikey weirdo. Sasha? Overrated. Naomi? Did she beg to be in this match? Natalya? Nasty Natty. Shayna? Scary… ‘Tis not fear, ’tis adrenaline! But no one takes down the rightful champions without sacrificing their pathetic little lives! Now, Vega & Mella are going to make sure the champagne is chilling. Will they be popping bottles? Or be getting popped by one of their many contenders?
Matt Camp is hanging out with more fans!
With less than an hour, they’re all fired up! And Sam is here in Texas, to ACKNOWLEDGE his Head of the Table, Matt’s Head of the Table, during the biggest match of all time, ROMAN REIGNS! One young fan wants to see McAfee beat Austin Theory! And another wants Edge to beat AJ Styles!
Jackie Redmond spends time with even more fans.
We’re just hours away from that very same match, with fans divided in Team Brock and Team Roman. Why is Roman better? He dominates everybody! He’ll win easily! Lesnar has no chance! But what about Team Brock? They vote for the REIGNING! DEFENDING! UNIFIED CHAMPION OF THE WORLD~! BRRROCK! LESNARRR!
Maria Menounos is outside Mr. McMahon’s office.
But Austin Theory walks out and asks if she has a question for him. Oh she does. He has a match with Pat McAfee, but doe she have a strategy? He has no worries. He just talked with Vince, and as his protégé, Vince has all the confidence in Theory showing no mercy to that retired NFL punter, “Fat McAfee.” Look at McAfee and look at Theory! There’s no comparison! McAfee apologized once, so he’ll apologize again for even stepping into that ring. Then Theory will win and take the most STUPENDOUS selfie. And all McAfee will remember is A-Town putting him down! Selfie with Maria!
Maria Menounos interviews Bobby Lashley.
Maria says Lashley made history by being the first superstar to knock Omos off his feet. Can he do it again and end the undefeated streak? Lashley knows Omos is a monster. He debuted last year at WrestleMania, dominated ever since. He’s beaten everyone, and decimated whole tag teams without breaking a sweat. But that’s why Lashley is charged up. He is going to put the myth of Omos to rest! Omos is unbeaten, but that doesn’t mean he’s unbeatable. Will this be a truly MIGHTY match?
Performing America the Beautiful, singer, fashion designer and writer, Jessie James Decker!
The most STUPENDOUS WrestleMania Weekend is almost over!
Mark Wahlberg says, “It’s rare that the sequel is as good as the original. Is this one of those rare moments? There’s only one way to find out. Let’s run it back.” The passion, the pageantry, the power and all things STUPENDOUS. Yeah, you gotta run that back. Sequel pro-tip: keep them guessing. The good guys, the not so good, and a lot of action, as well as the biggest WrestleMania main event of all time! Title unification, winner take all, and there can only be one. No more previews. This sequel isn’t just edge-of-your-seat, but OUT of your seat action. Mark’s not crying, you’re crying. Welcome back to the most STUPENDOUS two-night Mania in history!
TRIPLE H IIS HERE!!
The Game may have retired from in-ring competition, but he’d never miss out on the most STUPENDOUS WrestleMania in history! He goes right to the ring as fans go nuts! He hugs his three daughters, says hey to Gable Steveson, then gives us one last blast of water! HHH goes up to the corner, does his iconic flex pose, and then soaks in the moment as fans chant his name. HHH gets a mic and his wrestling boots. Fans chant, “Thank You, Hunter!” as he sets the boots down in the middle of the ring and throws up a Too Sweet. HHH then says, “I just wanted to come out here to say thank you.”
And to show us HHH’s love the best way he knows how, “WELCOME TO WRESTLEMANIA!” Pyro goes off with that and the fans cheer. HHH leaves mic down by the boots, and takes one last exit from the ring to the back. #ThankYouHHH.
Raw Tag Team Championships Triple Threat: RKBRO VS The Alpha Academy VS The Street Profits!
The Viper and the Stallion have the gold back again, but once again they’re in a Triple Threat situation! Swap out Kevin Owens & Seth Rollins and plug in Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford, will the Profits change the math and the results? Will “Master” Chad Gable & Otis get the belts back #ForTheAcademy? Or will the unlikeliest WWE duo in a long time still be on top of the Raw Tag Division?
The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see if anyone survives the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment.
In this Triple Threat, there is one man from each team. Riddle, Ford and Gable start, and Gable tries to “SHOOSH~!” everyone. So Ford SLAPS Gable, Riddle ROUNDHOUSES him! Ford rolls Riddle, ONE! Riddle fireman’s carries, but Ford slips off and shoves to then follow and LARIAT! Gable gets up to GERMAN SUPLEX Ford! Bridging cover, BROTON breaks it!

Otis says, “For the Academy!” Otis then drags Riddle up, another short arm LARIAT! Otis runs, for a SPLASH! Otis toys with Riddle, fans rally up, and Otis scoops to SLAM Riddle! Fans fire up for RKBRO but Otis sits Riddle up for a neck wrench. Riddle endures, fights up, reaches out, but Otis knees him low. Otis brings Riddle around, ROCKS him with a right, then brings him to the corner. Tag to Gable, Gable NORTHERN LIGHTS! Bridging cover, TWO! Gable gets Riddle by a leg, hooks it for a standing toehold, and says, “A THANK YEW~!” Riddle endures, reaches out, but it’s also a cover, TWO!
Riddle uses his free leg to kick at Gable! Riddle gets free, gets to his feet, but Gable blocks a kick for a DRAGON SCREW! But Ford returns to dropkick Gable! Ford runs in but into a throat chop! Gable runs in, MONKEY FLIP! Ford flounders hard, Gable covers him, TWO! Gable looms over Ford now, brings him up for a waistlock, but Ford slips out of the back suplex to tag Dawkins! Dawkins runs, hurdles and FLYING ELBOWS! Then an EXPLODER for Riddle! EXPLODER for Gable! Otis tags in while Dawkins gives Riddle the SILENCER! Cover, SPLASH from Otis! Both men just got crushed!

But the Academy drags them out to RAM them into barriers! DISCUS ELBOW for Dawkins! Gable climbs, Otis Electric Chair Lifts Ford, FLYING BULLDOG! Shoutout to the Steiner Brothers! Cover, TWO!!
Gable is furious over the count but somehow Ford survives! But Gable puts Ford in a drop zone and Otis wants to shout out Vader now! Only for Riddle and Dawkins to shove him over together!

Winners: RKBRO, by pinfall (still Raw Tag Team Champions)
BROOOO! That was perhaps the most STUPENDOUS tag title Triple Threat ever! And in the end, the Viper & the Stallion continue their wild ride! The Profits get back in the ring, with Solo cups, and they fist bump it out for respect. But even more so, Ford and Dawkins give them a little bit of that somethin’ somethin’! They even invite Steveson! Steveson shrugs, hops the barriers and gets in the ring for his first WrestleMania moment ever! And all together, they toast! Only for Gable to SLAP the drink out of Steveson’s hand! Steveson is pissed!! Everyone else backs up but Chad Gable gets a mic.
Steveson snatches it from him! But then Gable snatches it back, and tells the “kid” he’s just starting here. Here’s a free lesson: when you’re in Chad’s presence, remember one thing. SHOOOOOOSH~! Steveson picks up Chad to OVERHEAD Belly2Belly him! Is that just a sample of what this Gable is going to bring to the ring?
Omos VS Bobby Lashley!
For 365 days, this 400 HUNDRED POUND walking mountain has dominated whoever is put in front of him, and is undefeated in singles action. But just as he felt there was on one left, the Rocky Mountain Machine made his return! Lashley was the first man in the WWE and perhaps anywhere to take Omos off his feet, but will he be the one to give Omos his first loss?
The bell rings and the two circle. Omos talks smack but Lashley kicks. Omos blocks then CLUBS Lashley down! Lashley gets up at ropes, Omos CLUBS Lashley back down! Lashley gets up again, ducks the roundhouse then kicks low! Lashley reels Omos in?! But Omos body shots and knees to then uppercut Lashley! Lashley staggers, Omos clamps on a hand onto Lashley’s head! Lashley powers out of the vice grip and Omos is surprised! But Omos knees low to stop that, and tries again. Omos CLOBBERS Lashley point blank! But Lashley gets back up? And he SLAPS Omos!? Omos BOOTS Lashley back down!
Omos is mad now and he puts Lashley in a corner for big elbows and point-blank clotheslines! Omos lets off as the ref counts to run in and elbow Lashley down! Omos then runs in again, but only gets buckles! Lashley still can’t get away from those big arms, but Omos runs again to miss again! Lashley goes after Omos with clotheslines to the back, then runs side to side, one more BIG clothesline! Fans fire up for Lashley and he wants the full nelson! Omos is too big, though! Omos stops the Hurt Lock from clamping on, then runs to LARIAT Lashley down! Omos looms over Lashley as he slowly gets up.
Omos clamps on both hands, and he shoves Lashley out of the ring! Lashley is down in a heap and the ring count climbs. Lashley manages to get up at 5 of 10, but Omos goes out after him. Lashley leaps onto the apron and then LARIATS Omos while he’s on the ropes! Lashley hurries in and up, to leap! But Omos catches Lashley! Omos fireman’s carries, for a COLOSSAL DROP!! Lashley crash lands on the mat, and Omos dares him to get up from that. Lashley does, Omos runs, but into a back elbow! Lashley runs, but into a BEARHUG! Omos squeezes tight but fans rally as Lashley endures!
Lashley digs forearms into Omos’ face, so Omos RAMS Lashley into a corner! Lashley flops to the mat, but Omos stands him up to throw elbows! Omos reels Lashley back into a BEARHUG! Lashley is somehow conscious and fans still rally. Omos goes for another corner, Lashley slips free! Omos hits only buckles, Lashley runs in to fire haymakers! Lashley keeps Omos staggered, then he sends him into more buckles! Lashley kicks low, reels Omos in, and fans fire up as Lashley calls for it! But Omos wrenches out and swings, only for Lashley to get around! Lashley kicks low and wants it again! MASSIVE SUPLEX!
Fans are thunderous with Lashley as he runs and runs and SPEARS Omos from behind! He takes Omos down!! Omos gets back up but Lashley SPEARS again!! Cover, Lashley wins!!
Winner: Bobby Lashley, by pinfall
That was the MIGHTIEST win for Lashley, and the first loss for Omos! Somehow the ring is still standing, too! Will Lashley use this colossal win to climb back up the mountain of WWE?
Anything Goes: Sami Zayn VS Johnny Knoxville!
This all started because the “Elder Statesman” of SmackDown insulted the Jackass leading man, and then things got #InZayn. Sami is definitely a jackass in his own right, but will he have the last laugh? Or will Knoxville pull off the most exciting stunt of his career and win at WrestleMania?
The bell rings and Sami runs to HELLUVA KICK Knoxville right away! Sami is smiling ear to ear then he stomps away on Knoxville. Knoxville falls out of the ring, Sami goes out after him and brings him up to taunt the rest of the Jackass cast. Sami TOSSES Knoxville into barriers but the fans boo. Sami pie faces one and the others start swinging! Sami dares Dark Shark to do something, but he turns around into a FIRE EXTINGUISHER BLAST! Knoxville just cooled Sami off, and then he brings out a trash can full of goodies! Knoxville puts those in the ring, then gets a stop sign! He puts that in but Sami kicks low!
Sami headlock punches Knoxville then puts him in the ring. Sami gets the trash can, dumps it out, and picks up the classic cookie sheet. Sami blows it off so it’s clean, to SMACK Knoxville on the back with it! The sheet is dented, so Sami puts that aside to get the crutch. Sami plays around with the crutch and SMACKS Knoxville on the back! Now the crutch is bent! Sami gets the trash can itself, and he runs corner to corner, to CHUCK it into Knoxville! Sami covers, TWO! Sami is annoyed but he goes back out to look under the ring. Sami finds a wash bin and a bowling ball bag? And then a TABLE!
Fans fire up for the table and Sami slides it into the ring. But then Sami gets snapped by something? He looks under the ring, and it’s a bunch of mouse traps! Sami brings out a table covered in mouse traps! This must be Knoxville’s contraption. Sami likes how crazy Knoxville is, and he gets that thing set up. Sami gets in, to get TRASH CAN LID CYMBALS! And again! And again! Knoxville tosses those to get the stop sign! SMACK to Sami’s back! Sami writhes, Knoxville sets up the normal table in a corner. Knoxville drags Sami up, reels him in, but Sami knees the suplex away! Sami gets around to EXPLODER Knoxville through the table!
Sami drags Knoxville from the wreckage and covers, TWO! Knoxville is still in this and Sami is further annoyed. Sami stalks Knoxville, and Knoxville has a bloody cut on his forehead. Sami says Knoxville is in Sami’s world now! Sami has Knoxville in the corner, runs corner to corner, into an AIRHORN BLAST! Sami staggers, but he comes back to kick Knoxville down! But wait, Party Boy Pontius is in the ring!? Time to party~! Pontius pushes Sami and dances around, then rips off the shirt, and the pants! Classic! Sami is more disturbed than hurt, and he CLOBBERS Pontius! Sami stomps away and fans boo him ruining the party!
Sami drags Pontius up to toss him out! But Knoxville rolls Sami up! TWO!! Sami DECKS Knoxville, glares at Pontius then goes out. Sami stomps “Naked Boy” under the ring! Sami then goes looking, but he gets BOPPED by WEEMAN! Weeman fires off furious fists on Sami! Sami hurries away but Weeman chases him into the ring! Then SHIN KICK! Sami hobbles, Weeman scoops him!? And SLAMS him!! Fans are all fired up as Knoxville reels Sami in, TORNADO DDT! Cover, TWO!?! Sami survives and no one can believe it! Weeman hurries to fetch another contraption from under the ring. It’s a ASS KICKING MACHINE!?
Knoxville drags Sami over, Sami fights back, but Weeman has the machine armed. Sami BOOTS Weeman down before he can fire! Fans boo, but Sami stomps away on Weeman! Weeman flops out of the ring, but Sami drags Knoxville around to rain down fists! Fans tell Sami what they think of him but Sami shrugs it off to go up top. Sami grins, but Knoxville has a remote? e sets off pyro and it spooks Sami! Sami drops, and Knoxville gets the BOWLING BALL! STRIKE to Sami’s boys! Then the Ass Kicking Machine is a GROIN KICKING MACHINE! Sami clutches whatever’s left down there, and Knoxville gets… a STUN GUN!
Knoxville tests them and they’re working! Sami freaks out and scrambles! Knoxville stalks Sami, but Sami turns around into GIANT HAND! Sami gets SMACKED off his feet, but he hurries into the ring! Knoxville hurries in but Sami stomps him down! “This is Awesome!” as Sami manages to snap suplex Knoxville! Sami snarls and goes to the apron. Sami is wary of the corner, but it seems safe now. Sami goes up top, but Knoxville TONGS THE GROIN! And then TOSSES Sami onto the mouse trap table!! Sami crashes down and fans lose their minds! Knoxville calls for help, so Dark Shark, Pontius and the whole crew get the WORLD’S LARGEST MOUSE TRAP out!
Weeman and Pontius puts Sami in the ring and Knoxville stalks behind him. Knoxville has the stun gun, and he ZAPS Sami! Sami is on the trap, Knoxville hurries to trigger it! Uh oh, technical malfunction. Knoxville unhooks the thing by hand, SNAP! Cover, the trap traps Sami, Knoxville wins!!
Winner: Johnny Knoxville, by pinfall
The Jackass cast celebrates with Knoxville! They may be the movie stars, but Sami is the one who is a jackass forever! How will Sami ever live this down?
WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship Fatal 4 Way: Carmella & Queen Zelina Vega VS Sasha Banks & Naomi VS Liv Morgan & Rhea Ripley VS Shayna Baszler & Natalya!
The Most Beautiful Woman in All the WWE (according to herself) and the Queen of the Ring brought much of this upon themselves. They thought they were unstoppable, but then they got stopped by Team Bad, by #Liv4Brutality, and by the Spades & Harts. Now, with only two teams legal at any given time, will they even be active when they lose these belts?

Sasha ends up by ropes, Liv runs in, springboard CODE BREAKER! But Natty tags in off The Boss! Liv hits OBLIVION on Liv, but Natty tags Shayna and BOOTS Liv down!
Natty runs and dropkicks Liv, then BOOTS Liv again! Shayna KNEES Liv for good measure, but she sees Rhea and the champions all get in. Everyone stands down, but it was that close. Shayna gets Liv’s leg isolated, and she STOMPS the foot! Liv writhes, Shayna keeps her from Rhea, and Shayna gets the leg for a HEEL HOOK! Liv endures, Shayna shifts to a toehold! Shayna twists and bends the foot and knee in all directions! Liv kicks with the good leg but Shayna flips her over. Shayna keeps Liv from Rhea but Liv ENZIGURIS!

The challengers that got the ball rolling finally get the gold! Will all of the WWE feel the #BossGlow?
Edge VS AJ Styles!
The Rated R Superstar wanted a WrestleMania opponent because as much as he needs this, he feels this event needs him. The Phenomenal One stepped up, but then something changed in Edge. In trying to bring out the vicious side in Styles, Edge almost sidelined Styles for good. But Styles is back, and he already knows he’s going to do something awful back to “The Iconoclast.” Will this dream match turn into a nightmare for Styles? Or will this new Edge be less than phenomenal?
Styles already has a bloody scratch on his cheek, who knows how he got that. Meanwhile, Edge rises in a throne from under the stage with fire all around! The bell rings and fans are fired up already as these two stare down. Styles then rushes in, but Edge uses ropes as a defense. The ref has Styles back off, and Edge grins as he steps away from the ropes. They circle, tie up, and are in a deadlock. Styles manages to push Edge back but the ref counts. Edge avoids the big haymaker and then he trots to the opposite end. Edge smirks as he circles with Styles, but Styles KICKS the leg! Edge is annoyed but he and Styles circle more.
They tie up again, Edge gets the headlock, but Styles fights up to power out. They ram shoulders, Edge runs again but Styles hurdles and dropkicks back! Then Styles arm-drags Edge around, but Edge fakes out the third. Edge drops an elbow but misses and Styles KICKS the leg again! Styles wants the leg but Edge gets to ropes again. Fans rally and duel as Edge and Styles circle again. Styles and Edge tie up, Styles headlocks, but Edge pulls hair. Edge powers out, Styles rolls under to come back and headlock. Edge throws Styles off, but Styles avoids the boot to backslide! Edge rolls through but he wrenches out of the Clash!
Edge ROCKS Styles, but Styles avoids the Spear! Fans fire up as the two stare down. They reset, circling again, and Edge kicks low. Edge throws a forearm, whips Styles to ropes, but Styles slips out. Edge slides out but Styles slips in to ROCK him with a forearm! Slingshot FLYING- NO, Edge moves so Styles lands on the apron. SLIDING KNEE! Edge is sent into steel steps, too! Styles hops down, and dribbles Edge’s head off the side of steel steps! The ring count climbs, Styles drags Edge up and puts him in the ring. Styles then aims, springboards, 450 SPLASH onto knees! Edge saves himself, but he still clutches the knee after that impact.
Fans rally up while both men are down. Edge drags himself up the ropes, and he BOOTS Styles into the corner! Edge digs his knee into Styles’ ribs, then lets off to whip Styles to ropes. Edge KNEES Styles low, then whips him the other way to KNEE the ribs again! Styles falls over and Edge soaks up all the cheers and jeers from the fans. Edge stomps Styles down, then drags him back up to whip hard into a corner! Styles falls back, Edge covers, ROPEBREAK! Edge grabs that arm to add to the cover, ONE!

Styles rolls out to the apron, Edge goes out after him, and Edge CLUBS Styles on the neck. Edge stands Styles up, puts Styles up top, and he looks to the floor! Edge climbs up, but Styles slips out and CLUBS Edge down! They’re on opposite sides of the corner now, and Styles stands Edge up. Styles drags Edge to the top and goes up to join him. Is Styles going for what Edge wanted?! SUPERPLEX to the apron!!
Fans lose their minds as both men flop to the floor! The ring count starts and both men are still down at 5 of 10. Styles stands up at 9, he and Edge get in at 9.5! Styles drags himself up, takes aim and springboards again, 450 SPLASHÂ to Edge’s back! Cover, TWO!! Edge survives again! Fans rally back up, Styles gets to his feet and he goes back to the apron.

Priest distracted just enough for Edge to get this! The Archer of Infamy gets in the ring with Edge, and kneels with him! These two are of like minds, will they both #LiveForever?

The Undertaker is here again!
The Deadman, the Phenom, and the headliner of the 2022 WWE Hall of Fame class is back once more for the fans. They chant #ThankYouTaker and he takes one more bow. And of course, he gives one last glance back before one last raise of the fist. Is this the last time we will see Taker on a WWE stage?
Austin Theory VS Pat McAfee!
For weeks on end, Vince McMahon’s newest golden boy has used the Chairman’s lessons and personal backing to do whatever he wants to whoever he wants. But then Vince went onto Pat McAfee’s talk show to give him the great honor of being on the most STUPENDOUS WrestleMania ever…Â against the golden boy. Theory turned all his obnoxious energy towards McAfee and has really gotten under his skin. Will McAfee use that NFL Pro Bowl level leg to punt Theory’s punk ass all the way back to Atlanta? Or will it be A-Town Down in Dallas?
Before Theory enters, VINCE MCMAHON is here in person! He struts to the ring, gets himself a mic, and says, “Allow me to introduce you to a future WWE Universal Champion, Austin Theory!” Theory now makes his entrance, taking selfies the whole way down the ramp. Vince applauds but it doesn’t sound like many fans are in agreement. Fans chant, “You Suck!” but Vince wants them to quiet down for his selfie with Theory! Now McAfee makes his entrance to Seven Nation Army, with the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders! Fans sing along as McAfee goes down the ramp. McAfee even punts a football to the fans! Free souvenir!
The bell rings and Theory rushes in! McAfee dodges to fire off hands! Theory staggers about, body blow! McAfee then DECKS Theory! Vince is already upset but McAfee storms up and Theory goes to ropes for defense. The ref backs McAfee off, Theory throat chop shim! Theory stomps away, fans boo but Theory tells them he’s the guy! Theory drags McAfee up, ROCKS him with a right, and has him in a corner. Theory whips corner to corner, McAfee goes up and over, then FLYING ELBOWS Theory down! Fans fire up for McAfee, and he runs in to RANA Theory! Cover, TWO! Vince is relieved but still upset with Theory.
McAfee has the fans all behind him and he gets Theory up, only for Theory to scoop and BACKBREAKER! Theory rains down rights and roars in anger, and Vince nods his approval. Fans boo, Theory looms over McAfee and drags him up. Theory DECKS McAfee but fans sing Seven Nation Army for McAfee! Theory just gets upset as he drags McAfee up, and snap suplexes! Theory looks to Vince and gets more approval, but then fans boo and Theory tells them to shut up. Theory drags McAfee back up, reels him in, and fans chant, “You Suck!” Theory says he does not, then he suplexes McAfee again.
Theory does victory laps around McAfee, and he mocks the fans cheering McAfee on. Theory looms over McAfee, fans chant “You Suck!” harder than before! Theory drags McAfee up, reels him in again, but McAfee fights the suplex to hit a suplex! Fans fire up, Byron keeps Michael Cole calm on commentary. Theory gets to the apron, McAfee gets up and checks his back. McAfee runs at Theory to BLAST him off the apron! Theory hits announce desk! McAfee fires up, Vince frowns, and McAfee gets the headset so he can say, “Pat McAfee’s beatin’ the hell outta Austin Theory! Kevin and Sally McAfee are watching their kid beat the hell out of a douchebag!”
McAfee then asks if Theory remembers this! ICE WATER TO THE FACE! Theory flails, McAfee SMACKS him off the desk! And again! And again! He’s even calling his shots! McAfee pushes Theory back into the ring, puts the headset back on the desk, and fans fire up as McAfee gets back in the ring. Vince is upset again, because McAfee has an idea. McAfee goes up the corner! Fans fire up as McAfee is up top, Seven Nation Army is echoing throughout the AT&T Stadium, and McAfee SWANTON BOMB FLOPS!! Austin Theory avoids disaster and Vince is finally happy again. Theory drags McAfee up, reels him in, BIG back suplex! Cover, TWO!!
Now Vince is upset again as McAfee survives. Theory smirks but is also annoyed with McAfee. Theory drags McAfee around to stomp him down, and Vince likes that. Theory says he’ll go up top now! Vince smiles, Theory climbs but fans boo harder. Theory says for them to shut up, but McAfee ROCKS Theory first! McAfee gets up top to join Theory, they fight up there, and McAfee gets Theory for- NO! Theory is fighting it off! Theory pushes McAfee, but McAfee flips to land on his feet?!? No one can believe it but we just saw it! And McAfee box jumps to get Theory, for the SUPERPLEX! Theory writhes, McAfee crawls to the cover, TWO!!
Fans are thunderous as these two are both down. Fans chant “Fight Forever!” but this has to end somehow! McAfee feeds off the energy from Seven Nation Army and the WWE Universe. McAfee lines up the shot, roars, and gets that Pro Bowl Leg started up! But Theory dodges the punt to dropkick the legs out! Theory DECKS McAfee with a forearm! Vince is smiling again as Theory drags McAfee up. Theory says McAfee is dead, but McAfee pie faces him! Theory rains down fists! Fans boo but Theory says McAfee is going down! Fireman’s carry, but McAfee slips out to roll Theory up, AND WINS!!!
Winner: Pat McAfee, by pinfall
HE DID IT! The boyhood dream comes true! McAfee is a WrestleMania winner!! Whether or not Vince likes it, this might be the most STUPENDOUS WrestleMania moment ever! What will Theory have to do to redeem himself in Vince’s eyes? But then McAfee calls out Vince!? Vince starts to take the suit jacket off, but then thinks better of it. But then he takes it all the way off! And then he starts undoing the tie! McAfee dares Vince to get in, but Vince unbuttons the sleeves first. Vince untucks the shirt, takes it off, and he has the fight tank top on! Vince gets in the ring and McAfee himself is stunned speechless!
Wait the ref is back? IS this happening? Is this a thing that is happening?! But then Theory CLOBBERS McAfee! Of course Vince was just setting up someone who pissed him off! Vince still wants this to happen!?
Pat McAfee VS Vince McMahon w/ Austin Theory!
The bell rings and Vince LARIATS McAfee down! McAfee gets up again, but Vince bumps him off buckles! Theory applauds because duh, he hit McAfee dizzy before this match! McAfee gets up, he’s mad now, but Vince LARIATS him again! Vince taunts McAfee, then he taunts the fans. Fans admit, “You Still Got It!” Vince waits on McAfee to get up, and McAfee does, but Vince grabs him by his head! Vince tells McAfee this is what he gets, and he bumps McAfee off the buckles! Vince dusts off his hands, thinking he’s got this in the bag. Vince then waits as McAfee gets up again. McAfee snarls as Seven Nation Army starts up again.
McAfee tells Vince, this time it’s serious! He’s gonna punt his old ass right back to the office! But then Theory trips McAfee! And POSTS McAfee up the middle! The ref hesitates to disqualify this because the boss is right here! Vince smirks and the ref reprimands Theory, but that’s it. Vince toys with McAfee now, and then Theory says they should use the football! Theory hands it off to Vince, and Vince lines it up, to then fake the punt and strut around. McAfee manages to sit up, so Vince PUNTS the ball into McAfee! Cover, Vince wins!
Winner: Vince McMahon, by pinfall
But of course the whole thing was rigged from the start! Vince lets Theory celebrate, since Theory did do most of the damage. Theory even offers a hug? Vince decides to accept it! Since when has Vince hugged someone? BUT HERE COMES STONE COLD!! The better Austin is here and fans are loving it! Stone Cold gets right in the ring, tells Vince this is a bunch of BS, but Vince tries to defend what’s gong on. Theory goes after Stone Cold but gets smacked all around! STUNNER!! Theory goes flying outta the ring!! And Vince realizes he just stepped in it. Fans are electric as Stone Cold stares Vince down.
Vince tries to talk his way out of this, and Austin offers some Steveweisers. Vince is up for that, and they crack those open. Vince sips, and approves. The Broken Skull Stout is good stuff! Austin and Vince cheer, chug it down, and then STUNNER! Just like old times! Austin gets more Steveweisers, then he stomps Vince out of the ring! And Austin even invites McAfee into the ring! They do a double toast as Seven Nation Army echoes through the crowd! And then Austin just gets more beer! And then STUNNER for McAfee! #DTA: Don’t Trust Anybody! But at the same time, maybe a dream come true for McAfee! OH HELL… YEAH!!
WWE World & Universal Championships, Winner Takes All Title Unification: Brock Lesnar VS Roman Reigns w/ The Bloodline!
There is so much history here between these two Paul Heyman Guys. The Next Big Thing became The Beast, and the Big Dog became the Tribal Chief. They have fought back and forth many times, and it frustrates the Head of the Table to no end that he has yet to demolish Suplex City. But now, in the BIGGEST main event in WrestleMania history, to close out the most STUPENDOUS WrestleMania Weekend ever, there can only be one alpha male of our species! Who will be our reigning, defending, and truly UNDISPUTED WWE Champion?
Roman is of course accompanied by The Usos as well as Paul Heyman. The Bloodline raises their titles to the sky and the pyro goes off. Then they go to the ring, raise the belts up again, and set off more pyro while CG Roman roars. Heyman then hands real Roman a mic, so that he can say, “WrestleManiaaaa…! ACKNOWLEDGE ME!” Fans are torn rather evenly, but then here comes Brock! Lesnar circles the ring, gets in and stares Roman right down. The introductions are made, with Heyman of course snatching the mic to introduce himself.
“Introducing first, the GOAT that slays a Beast, the reigning! Defending! Undisputed! WWE Universal Heavyweight Champion! RRRROMAN! RRREIGNS!” Then Heyman gives the mic back so Mike Rome can introduce the opponent, only for Lesnar to snatch the mic! “Ladies and gentlemen! The Cowboy Country Ass-kicker that’s gonna kick your ass tonight! The reigning! Defending! WWE Heavyweight Champion of the Wooorld~! BROCK! LESNAR!” With all that out of the way, the top titles are raised, and tonight, we ACKNOWLEDGE… history!
Fans are already thunderous as these two stare down at the bell. Lesnar literally takes off the gloves! Roman looks mildly concerned, and they tie up. Lesnar fires off shots, knees, then has Roman in a corner for shoulders! Roman hits back with haymakers! But Lesnar RAMS Roman back into the corner! And rams him in again! And again! And then again, before carrying Roman corner to corner! Lesnar RAMS Roman into that corner, then shoves Roman down! Lesnar waistlocks but Roman throws elbows. Lesnar lets Roman slip around, to OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Then another OVERHEAD Belly2Belly!
Suplex City gets going with a THIRD OVERHEAD Belly2Belly! Lesnar roars and scares Heyman, then Lesnar clotheslines Roman out of the ring! Lesnar goes out and he scares Heyman again. Heyman says all this was Roman’s idea! Heyman loves Lesnar, he can take Heyman back! But then Roman SPEARS Lesnar through barriers! They crash into the timekeeper’s area and Heyman’s cowardice was the perfect bait! Roman drags himself out of the wreckage, he gets back into the ring, and Heyman holds tight to the Universal title. The ring count climbs, Lesnar gets up at 5 but he’s far away from the ring!
Lesnar gets up at 8, hobbles at 9, and is in at 9.99!! Roman is upset and a bit shocked at this. Lesnar stands up, Roman SPEARS him down! Cover, TWO!! Lesnar survives and shocks Roman all over again! Roman goes back to a corner, locks ‘n’ loads, and waits as Lesnar rises. SUPERMAN PUNCH! Roman talks smack then reloads, SUPERMAN PUNCH! Roman says look at him! Lesnar is getting whooped! Fans are torn down the middle as Roman gloats. Heyman tells Roman to focus, and Lesnar is laughing as he gets up!? Roman runs in, Lesnar gets around, GERMAN SUPLEX! And then another GERMAN SUPLEX!
Suplex City is rolling now with five total! Lesnar gets a third GERMAN SUPLEX, that’s half a dozen suplexes in all! Roman staggers, Lesnar says here we go, another GERMAN SUPLEX! Fans fire up as Lesnar smiles. Roman flounders to a corner, Lesnar calls for another one! GERMAN SUPLEX! Five of those, eight total! Lesnar drags Roman back up again, fireman’s carries, but Roman fights free and shoves Lesnar into buckles! SUPERMAN PUNCH! Three superman punches but Lesnar is still getting up. Roman soaks up all the cheers and jeers, and Heyman points out Lesnar isn’t done yet!
Roman aims, “OOAH!” But Lesnar fireman’s carries out of the Spear, to F5!! Cover, TWO!! Roman survives, but Lesnar still looks amused! Fans rally and duel, Lesnar looms over Roman, and Lesnar drags Roman up. Another fireman’s carry, but Roman rakes eyes! Roman shoves Lesnar at the ref! Then SPEARS him into the ref! The ref is down, Roman LOW BLOWS Lesnar!! The Tribal Chief doesn’t care how he wins, he wants to win! Heyman hands Roman the Universal title belt, he aims and runs in, BELT SHOT!! Roman shouts to the ref to count this cover, TWO!?! Lesnar survives and Roman is confused!
Roman tries to put the math together on how Lesnar survives a low blow and belt shot. Fans rally and duel and Roman says this is his time! He has told us that no one will ever be able to follow him! Roman is the best! Roman is the number one superstar! But somehow Lesnar is sitting back up! Roman tells Lesnar to stay down, but Lesnar doesn’t listen. So Roman runs and runs and SPEARES Lesnar! Cover, ROPEBREAK! Roman is frustrated again but he just builds speed, SPEAR into a Kimura?!? Lesnar catches the tackle and the arm!! Roman is enduring as Lesnar twists the arm way back!!
Roman reaches out, Heyman tries to push the rope closer but it’s not working! Lesnar has the body scissors, even! Roman drags himself with one good arm, ROPEBREAK!! Lesnar holds until the ref counts 4, doing as much damage as he can! Heyman coaches Roman up but Roman says his shoulder is dislocated! But this is for the Bloodline! “Rise up, this is your moment!” Lesnar drags Roman up, he fireman’s carries, but Roman slips out and shoves, to SPEAR!! Cover, Roman wins!!
Winner: Roman Reigns, by pinfall (UNDISPUTED WWE Universal Champion)
And with that, Roman is truly on top of the WWE hierarchy! He manages to lift both titles, despite the left arm’s damaged state. Lesnar gets up with a scowl, has the Beast finally been slain? Is there no one that can stop Roman now that he is THE champion in the WWE?
My Thoughts:
Again, not sure if this was the “most stupendous” WrestleMania ever, but there was some great stuff. And also some not great stuff, but WWE can’t get everything right (anymore). Whatever reason that delayed New Day VS Sheamus & Ridge to tonight apparently didn’t change anything. That should’ve been a kickoff show, because Vince did New Day dirty. Why can’t New Day win one for Big E? Why does Vince constantly take PB&J and make salads out of them? Yep, I’m reusing my food metaphor from yesterday with Stand & Deliver because this is that booty.
The Raw Tag Triple Threat was a great opener, though. All the teams got to shine, I love that they went with a true Triple Threat where all teams have an active man, and it was awesome for RKBRO to retain. I’m a little surprised Profits stayed Face here but it did work for the moment with Gable Steveson. Steveson got to throw Chad Gable around, that’ll help him hit the ground running now that he’ll be on Raw with all these guys. Omos VS Lashley was a pretty good big man match, but as I was saying on the way to this, it was all a wash. Omos losing is big for Lashley but Lashley was already pretty built up without this. Maybe Omos wants a rematch at WM Backlash?
Sami VS Knoxville, Anything Goes was such a great match. They brought out all sorts of wild stuff, and I love that the Jackass cast got involved. Weeman had an awesome part, and the giant mouse trap finish was genius. Sami will surely complain about this but of course people will point out this was Anything Goes, and Sami will fight whoever it is because of that. The WWE Women’s Tag Fatal 4 was also great stuff, and while it went “two teams legal at a time,” I actually like that for this situation. There were many good uses of the opportunistic tags, and in the end, they made the right move. The champions lost and a SmackDown team wins. Sasha & Naomi will be big hits with these belts on both Raw and SmackDown so that both USA and Fox will be happy.
Edge VS Styles was also great, especially Edge’s King of Brood entrance. And speaking of which, it’s rather ironic Damian Priest is the one joining Edge. The whole time in NXT, it felt like Priest was bordering on being a vampire, and now he’s joining one of the original Brood members. This new Brood, whatever it’ll be called, will be great, and I can’t wait to see where it goes. Then there was everything with McAfee, Theory, Vince and Stone Cold, THAT was the most STUPENDOUS stuff of this whole weekend. Everyone in AT&T Stadium was loving McAfee, he had an amazing performance, got some Jeff Hardy level air in that Swanton, and rightfully won against Theory.
McAfee taking on Vince was wild, but of course Theory gets his Heel heat back helping Vince. And of course everyone got a stunner. McAfee’s living the dream, including taking a stunner. I’m sure McAfee will be fine going back to commentary, but now everyone knows he can easily come back off the desk to throw down with whoever. And then we got a pretty great match out of Lesnar VS Roman, with a lot of good references back to their previous showdowns.
However, there is a lot that feels off with that finish. Roman was talking about the bad shoulder, so was that shoot? Things ended suddenly after that, that is not good story writing if it was a work. Roman should’ve struggled for another two minutes to then get that last Spear and the win. But Vince doesn’t care about pacing or details, only results. At least now he’s finally gotten to make Roman THE guy in WWE history, so good for Vince. But where’s this going to go? Roman VS The Rock? But that’s no less than a SummerSlam match, more fitting of next year’s WrestleMania Hollywood. Again, Vince doesn’t care about pacing with this stuff, just results.
My Score: 8.8/10

WrestleDream, October 12th, anybody in the back, you wanna make your name off of Darby Allin? Step up, and let’s make this official tonight! Anybody in the back, now’s the time! I’m right here! Come out!” Darby wants an answer one week in advance, and who does he get? No one responds and Darby says that’s what he thought. A locker room full of complacent talent. Tell him in five years when they’re in the same position that they could’ve done something about it!
Darby is giving someone a chance at a PPV as big as WrestleDream, but no one’s stepping up. Darby is getting upset, so he heads out. Will someone work up the courage to face him within the next week? WAIT! BRODY KING CLOBBERS DARBY! The fans bark for the House of Black’s King of Death, who has some history with Darby here in AEW. Brody hauls Darby up, for an APRON POWERBOMB!

Britt Baker speaks.
“Well, well, well, if it wasn’t another victorious homecoming for me, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD. SO now what? Where do I go from here? I’ll tell you exactly where I go. Where I belong: in the AEW Women’s World Championship title picture. I haven’t had a one-on-one shot at that world title since I lost it. Time’s up. Mariah, I saw you watching me, watching my match. Well, I’ve been watching you, Mariah. I like what I see. But unfortunately for you, you have something I want. I’m done sitting at home waiting to be called upon. Contrary to popular opinion, I don’t expect anything to be handed to me.
“Title Tuesday, I’ll be there. I’ll be ready to fight. The road to redemption starts… now. Yours truly, Dr. Britt Baker, DMD.” The Doctor is in, but will she be leaving after she’s “extracted” that gold from The Glamour?
Backstage interview with The Conglomeration.
Lexy Nair is with Kyle O’Reilly, Orange Cassidy, Rocky Romero, Mark Briscoe & Willow Nightingale. Willow asks if it’s cool for her to start off. The fellas say sure, and Willow says okay. Because Britt, they all heard what you had to say. And you’ll have to wait your turn, because Willow wants the title. She’s coming for Mariah May. But tonight, this is Toledo, Ohio! And Willow has a match with Trish Adora like, right now! She knows the boys have The Premier Athletes, but she’s gotta go. Bye! Willow heads out, Mark Briscoe says do your thing, girl! And Mark feels sorry for Trish Adora, because right here in Toledo, Willow’s gonna whoop ass!
And as for OC & Kyle, they have the Premier Athletes tonight, and it’ll be another premier ass whoopin’ right here in Ohio! And as for Chris Jericho, Mark will address you real shortly. But tonight is about The Conglomeration! They’re getting down in Ohio, and tonight, the words of the day are “Diversification” and “Sophistication.” The Conglomeration is the most diverse and sophisticated group in pro-wrestling history! Understand what he’s saying? There ain’t no stopping! They’re The Conglomeration, they’re her, and they ain’t going nowhere! RARARARA! Kyle & Rocky are fired up, and Cassidy says Mark’s getting better, but just not quite there yet.
Willow Nightingale VS Trish Adora!
As The Babe with the Power said, she is aiming right at Mariah May, but who isn’t when we’re talking THE AEW Women’s World Champion? In fact, Mariah is in the crowd to watch this match like she did Britt in Pittsburgh. Will Willow prove she’s first in line, NOT The Doctor? Or will The AfroPunk completely flip the script?
The bell rings and the two shake hands. They circle, tie up, and are momentarily in a deadlock. Willow powers Adora to ropes, but lets go quickly. Willow whips, Adora reverses, then she blows past Willow to rebound and RAM her. Neither woman falls, so they tie up collar ‘n’ elbow again. Willow headlocks, Adora powers up and out, then reels Willow in for a headlock. Willow powers up and out, bypasses Adora then drops. Adora ducks ‘n’ dodges, but Willow RUNS her over!

Willow CLUBS Adora to stop the lift, then she dodges a forearm! Willow hits the POUNCE~! PERIOD!
The fans fire up and Mariah is now concerned, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Willow puts Adora in a corner, then CHOPS! Adora shakes her head, so Willow CHOPS again! Adora still shakes her head, even though that one stings. Willow scoops and SLAMA Adora, runs, and SENTON FLOPS as Adora moves! Mariah is a bit torn, but Adora and Willow slowly rise. Adora stomps Willow to ropes, brings her up, then wrenches. Adora KICKS away on Willow’s arm, then CLUBS the shoulder. Adora wrenches and CLUBS but Willow fires body shots! Adora CLUBS Willow again, and salutes as she stands over Willow.

Willow survives and Adora is stunned! Adora hauls Willow up, winds up, but Willow blocks a shot! Willow BOOTS Adora, reels her back in, BABE WITH THE POWER BOMB!! Cover, Willow wins!
Winner: Willow Nightingale, by pinfall
The fans cheer but Mariah is annoyed that Willow won. Willow steps up to Mariah, but Mariah SLAPS Willow! So Willow fires off shots, and THROWS Mariah over railing! Willow throws hands, then SMACKS Mariah off the steps! And then THROWS her into railing! Mariah writhes but the fans cheer as Willow brings her up again. Gut wrench and- NO, Mariah slips free of the bomb! And SLAPS Willow again, before running away! Willow says oh no, it won’t end like that. Will Willow be battling Mariah on Title Tuesday? At WrestleDream? Or somewhere else down the road?
Backstage interview with Wheeler Yuta.
Alicia Atout is with The Decoder, and she says he has a lot on his plate. Not only is he wrestling tonight, but he will join forces with Bryan Danielson this Title Tuesday against Claudio Castagnoli & Pac. How has Yuta prepared mentally to be facing former friends? It is definitely different than- Oh, wait, the Blackpool Combat Club steps in from all sides. Yuta asks Pac, Claudio and Marina Shafir if there’s a problem, partner. Pac says he is NOT Yuta’s partner. Claudio has everyone else leave, and Marina makes sure Alicia leaves, too. Claudio talks with Yuta alone. “Let it out.”
Yuta tells Claudio that he trusted and believed in Claudio, and did everything he asked. He did more than that! He bled for Claudio! Yuta has given up years of his career for Claudio! And what has Claudio done? Yuta doesn’t even know who Claudio is anymore! Claudio left Yuta in the dark as he betrayed Bryan, and now acts like everything’s okay?! Like Yuta is still supposed to trust Claudio!? What’s Claudio have to say for himself?! Claudio asks, “Did I ever steer you wrong? I wish you would still trust me. Because you know what? I always have your back. What’d Bryan ever do for you?”
Claudio pushes Yuta’s AEW World Trios Championship belt into his chest, clearly pointing out what he’s done for Yuta. Claudio wants Yuta to know that no matter what happens, Claudio always will have his back. Claudio leaves, and while Yuta is teaming with Bryan on Tuesday, will he still be BCC?
Backstage interview with Mariah May.
Lexy is with a “very exasperated” AEW Women’s World Champion, and says everyone seems to be gunning for The Glamour. Mariah says everyone is drooling for a shot at her! Is this AEW or her DMs? Mariah knows she’s the prettiest woman on the roster, but she says that’s only because everyone else is so damn ugly! And Britt Baker, with one match, thinks she gets a shot at this title? Do us all a favor and go back to your office to floss! As for Willow, Mariah gets it! Mariah finally understands why Willow is so smiley and happy all the time! It’s because Willow knows she is lucky to be here! Willow doesn’t even deserve to LOOK at Mariah’s title!
And then in steps Christopher Daniels, and Mariah asks if he even does anything around here! Daniels says yes, he hears talent bitch, moan and complain! But he sees Mariah starting fights here and there, because she can’t lose anything in those fights. But we’re done with that! Here’s what happens: Title Tuesday in Spokane, Washington, we will see Willow Nightingale VS Britt Baker. Mariah loves that, she’ll definitely watch. Good, because see, the winner of that match faces Mariah at WrestleDream for the title! Mariah stops smiling and Daniels asks, “How’s that for doing something?” She tells Daniels, “Blow it out your ass.”
Mariah storms off, but Daniels smirks. Can’t please everyone, huh? But will it be The Doctor or the Babe with the Power that meets Mariah in Tacoma?
Wheeler Yuta VS BEEF w/ Anthony Henry!
Just as The Decoder started clearing his head of the internal conflict, The Swiss Superman clouds things up by using the gold against him. Will Yuta be able to focus on tonight’s match? Or will the beef within BCC distract him from the Beef right in front of him?
The bell rings and Yuta fires off on Beef! The ref counts as Yuta has Beef in the corner, but Yuta just ROCKS and CHOPS Beef! Beef pushes back, headlocks, but Yuta powers up and out. Beef cartwheels!? And then he DROPKICKS! The fans fire up with Beef, and he runs in to LARIAT Yuta in the corner! Beef headlocks, then brings Yuta around to JAB! JAB! JAB! “BEEF! BEEF! BEEF!” Yuta just leans into the shots! Beef winds up, but Yuta choke grips! Then ROLLING ELBOWS! Beef staggers, and we see Jon Moxley watching from the back row of the stands, alongside Marina and Pac. Yuta BITES Beef on the forehead!
The ref reprimands, Yuta stops, and he wrenches Beef into a RIGHT ANGLE SLAM! Yuta seethes while Beef flounders. Henry coaches Beef as Beef crawls to a corner, but Yuta stomps a mudhole in! The ref counts, Yuta stops at 4, but then he grabs Beef by the wrists. Yuta DRAGON STOMPS Beef in the corner! The ref counts again, Henry gets on the apron, but Yuta stops at 4. And then Yuta DROPKICKS Henry down! Yuta glares at Beef, storms up on him, and drags him into the HAMMER ‘N’ ANVIL ELBOWS! Yuta makes Beef a ragdoll! But then, chicken wings, and CATTLE MUTILATION! Beef is OUT, the ref calls it!
Winner: Wheeler Yuta, by submission
Yuta lets go, and that fury is still raging within him. Moxley smirks, is he pleased with how Yuta is progressing? Or will Yuta’s fury only end up the BCC’s enemy?
Backstage interview with Hook.
Lexy is with the Cold-Hearted Handsome Devil, and brings up last Wednesday night, we heard the news of the attack on Taz and how that upset Hook. After a few days to process it, Hook has now asked for this time. Hook will keep this simple: Whoever attacked his father, he is calling them out. Spokane, Title Tuesday, no more hiding! Hook tells them to say something to his face! Hook heads out, will he take off someone’s head in Spokane?
Orange Cassidy & Kyle O’Reilly w/ Rocky Romero VS The Premier Athletes w/ Mark Sterling!
Freshly Squeezed & The Violent Artist have had a busy week already, but they’re also riding high from getting one over on “Big Bill” & Bryan Keith. Will they keep things going as… Of course “Smart” Mark has to do the introductions himself. “The Premier Athletes have given a lot of cities an opportunity as of late to be a part of a winning team, and they’ve all failed! But we think the people of Toledo have just high enough IQ to follow along. So when we say, ‘Athletes!’ you say, ‘Rule!’ Nothing else! Hands in, boys. Ohhh… ATHLETES!” “SUCK!!” Gottee! But will that failed chant be the least of Mark’s worries after tonight?
The teams sort out and Cassidy starts against Nese. The fans rally for Cassidy as he circles with Nese. But then Daivari CLOBBERS Cassidy and Nese goes after Kyle! The fans boo and the ref reprimands, but The Conglomeration is stacked in a corner. The Premier Athletes mug Kyle, then they mug Cassidy!

Cassidy adds a basement dropkick! Kyle adds a knee drop, and Cassidy adds a… shoulder drop? Nese runs up, Cassidy blocks the kick, and Kyle sweeps the leg!

Direct hit on Nese! The fans fire up as Cassidy stands up and puts Nese in. Sterling talks trash on Cassidy, but Rocky handles this. Azucar backs Sterling off, but Nese catches Cassidy in an apron skirt trap! Nese then WRECKS Cassidy!
The ref reprimands Nese, but Daivari stomps away on The Conglomeration! Daivari then whips Cassidy into railing as Collision goes picture in picture.
Cassidy writhes, and Sterling didn’t have to get his hands dirty. Daivari puts Cassidy in for Nese and Nese stomps away. Nese soaks up heat, then drags Cassidy up. Nese bumps Cassidy off buckles, tags Daivari, and Daivari RAMS into Cassidy. Daivari brings Cassidy around, whips him to a corner hard and Cassidy falls. Daivari grabs a leg but Cassidy grabs ropes.

The Premier Athletes split the wishbone on Cassidy, then Nese drags Cassidy up. Nese puts Cassidy in the Tree of Woe, then goes corner to corner to stop, and do ab crunch kicks! Nese soaks up heat while showing off the 8 pack, then tags Daivari. Cassidy falls out of the Tree, so Nese & Daivari stand him up. They put Cassidy up top, and Daivari CHOPS!

Lexy is with the menacing minotaur and says that over the past few months, we have seen him build alliances with all sorts of people in AEW. But at Grand Slam, it seemed like he officially joined up with La Faccion Ingobernable. Mortos roars, and in steps Roderick Strong. “BEEEEAST, Mortos. What is going on? You’re supposed to be with us! What’re you doing standing there, fisting with those guys?” Matt Taven thought he and Beast Mortos had something special. That The Kingdom had something special! Mike Bennett wants Mortos to look at him, man to, uh, man-bear-pig? Whatever! Just look at him!
If Mortos thinks he can trust LFI, he’s wrong. He can trust The Undisputed Kingdom. Just look at these faces! Don’t make the wrong choice. The Kingdom leaves, Mortos is conflicted. Who will soon have the muscle that is Mortos on their side?
Kris Statlander VS Zoey Lynn!
The Galaxy’s Greatest is now #BornAgainKristen, but her attitude doesn’t seem that different. Will she make a believer out of The Brickhouse by beating the same young lady Kamille did, but even faster?
The bell rings, Zoey runs up to fire hands first! Zoey won’t get dropped like she did by Kamille, but then Kris DECKS her! Zoey gets up, but Kris grabs her by the neck! Gorilla press and the fans fire up as Kris carries Zoey around! Then Kris TOSSES Zoey down! Kris flexes, the fans are torn, but Kris drags Zoey back up. Gut wrench, tuck, and STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER!! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
We’ll have to check the records to see who beat Zoey Lynn faster, but here comes Mone & Kamille! The CEO does her dance, but it is Kamille who has the mic. Kamille hands it over, though, and Mone smiles as she tells Toledo, to shut up! She has something to say. Mone & Kamille were so “impressed’ by Kris here. But understand that Mone is the Face of the Women’s Division, and the CEO of AEW! That means nobody disrespects her! So Kris will find out next what happens when you mess with Mercedes Mone! Go get her, Kamille! Kamille storms into the ring to stand face to face with Kris again. Kris says okay, chill. But then she fires forearms!
The fans fire up but Kamille BOOTS Kris back! Mone grins, Kamille smirks, but Kris KNEES Kamille! Kamille dragon sleepers, and hits the TWISTING NECKBREAKER! “The Road to Damascus” takes Kris down, and Mone says so much for Galaxy’s Greatest. Will nothing stop Mone & Kamille from conquering AEW? Or is this only lighting a fire within Kris?
Darby Allin speaks.
“Brody King. You accepted my Open Challenge, but all you had to do was ask. But I think I know what you’re trying to do. There is a lot I wanna say to you. I have never pinned you in that ring. ON the independents, in AEW, I have never pinned you in that ring. I put you in a coffin, I thought that was good enough. But no. Tuesday, Dynamite, I wanna see you face to face in that ring. I wanna tell the people a little story here. Everything you have in AEW is because of me. House of Black didn’t get you here, it was me. I was the one that went up to Tony Khan and said, ‘You need to hire Brody King.’
“Yeah. You want everything I have. But you’re gonna have to work really hard to take it from me.” Darby reveals the truth, but will he have to accept that he just can’t beat The King of Death?
BREAKING NEWS for Title Tuesday!
Emi Sakura’s return home to Tokyo Joshi Pro-Wrestling, TJPW, has reinvigorated her, and now she’s coming back to AEW to finally win a crown! Will the Queen of Joshi take BOTH of Mone’s belts in a Double Title Match? Or will The CEO never bow down to anyone?
AEW World Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Triple Threat: Private Party VS Top Flight VS The House of Black!
Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy got another shocker over The Young Bucks just last night on Rampage, but they can’t rely on that to get their golden tickets. Can they officially earn their SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS at the AEW World Tag Team Championships? Or will another team be living Private Party’s WrestleDream?
In this Triple Threat, only two teams are legal at a time, so Brother Zay starts against Dante Martin. The bell rings as these two circle, but they’re wary of the House as they can tag in at any time. Dante waistlocks, Zay slips under ot drop toehold and float to a facelock. Dante fights up, wrenches out, and he wrangles Zay to a cover, ONE! Zay sweeps and covers, ONE! Dante hits a headlock takeover, Zay headscissors, and Dante kips free. Roles reverse, Dante headscissors but Zay kips free. Zay trips Dante, Dante BOOTS him away, but both men kip up! The fans fire up, and the two back away slowly.
Dante and Zay tag to Darius and Quen, but all four men step up. They talk some smack, then they fire shots! Private Party double whip Top Flight, and Buddy sneaks a tag! Private Party DOUBLE DROPKICKS Top Flight out, the fans fire up, and Private Party builds speed. They DOUBLE DIVE and take Top Flight down at the ramp! Now the House steps in! Buddy & Malakai build speed?! They double slide, and they DECK Private Party! Buddy fires off on Quen, Malakai has Zay, but the ref counts. The House puts Private Party in, but Private Party DOUBLE DROPKICK! Then Quen builds speed, Zay holds the ropes open, and Quen DIVES, into DOUBLE KNEES!
The fans go wild and Zay is stunned! Zay decides screw it, and he FLIES! But The House catches him, to DOUBLE APRON BOMB him! Zay writhes and falls to the floor, but the fans fire up behind The House. The House puts Quen in the ring, but Top Flight goes after them! Buddy THROWS Dante aside while Collision goes picture in picture.
Buddy drags Dante up to whip him into more railing, and then Malakai lines up a shot. Malakai runs up to BOOT Dante down! The House goes to the ring, Buddy drags Quen up and he tags Malakai. They whip, kitchen sink knee and PENALTY KICK! Buddy drops a JUMPING knee, then Malakai covers, TWO! Quen is tough but Malakai whips him to ELBOW him down! The Dark Father paces, pushes Quen down to cover, TWO! Malakai wrenches Quen, double wristlocks, and he tags Buddy. The House mugs Quen, and Buddy UPPERCUTS! And UPPERCUTS! And UPPERCUTS! Buddy UPPERCUTS again, even as the ref counts.
Buddy tags Malakai, The House mugs Quen more, and then Malakai brings Quen around to UPPERCUT! Quen fights back, but Malakai KNEES him down! Tag to Buddy, the mugging continues, and Buddy UPPERCUTS Quen down. Buddy KNEES Quen in the back, KNEES him again, then stares Zay down. Buddy smirks, drags Quen up, and suplexes. Collision returns to single picture as Quen fights the lift! The fans rally, Buddy fires body shots, but Quen cradle counters! TWO! Buddy CLOBBERS Quen! Buddy drags Quen up, but Dante tags in! Dante RAMS Buddy, slingshts up and around, then GAMANGIRISR!
Dante goes up, leaps over Buddy to CROSSBODY Quen! Dante ducks ‘n’ dodges Buddy to then jump and RANA! Dante dodges Malakai, runs up and METEORAS! Dante runs in at Quen to GAMANGIRI in a corner! Dante snapmares Quen, goes up and up to MAMBA SPLASH! Cover, Zay breaks it! The fans rally but Dante TOSSES Zay. Dante hauls Quen up, half nelsons, but Quen slips free of the slam! Dante bucks the O’Conner, BOOTS Quen, but Quen PELES! Both men are down, and they crawl for their corners! The fans rally up for the hot tags! Darius and Zay run in! Zay leaps over, Darius blocks a kick to CHOP!
Zay ENZIGIRIS and reels Darius in, but no Twist of Fate! Darius suplexes, Zay slips free, and Zay shoves to hurdle, but into an atomic drop! Darius runs to BULLDOG- NO, Zay stops the hotshot! Triangle jump STUNNER! The fans fire up as Zay runs, but Darius SLINGSHOT COMPLETE SHOTS! Darius drags Zay up, sends him at Quen, but that gets some SILLY STRING! Malakai tags in off Darius! Malakai grins, Buddy tags in, and The House surrounds Zay. Zay swings hands, but he gets mugged! ATOMIC KNEE SMASH! Darius runs up, into a double hip toss, and DOUBLE BOMB! Then they sit Darius up to DOUBLE BUZZSAW!
Quen runs up, he’s put in a corner, GAMANGIRI and ELBOW SMASH! Malakai TOSSES Quen, but Dante runs up., Leg sweep and facelock! DANTE’S IN- NO, Dante slips free of the Inferno to SHOVE Malakai into Buddy! And then JUMP KNEE for Malakai! Zay runs up, ducks ‘n’ dodges Dante, IMPLODER X-FACTOR! A very Nick Jackson type move there! Darius is back, he blocks a kick and FISHERMAN BUSTERS! Malakai swings on Darius, Darius blocks, but Malakai blocks to hit THE END! But Quen ROLLING KICKS Malakai! Buddy leaps, Quen gets under! Quen runs up, into a BOOT! Buddy goes up, but Quen GAMANGIRIS!
Zay is back, just in time for GIN & NO!! Malakai anchors Buddy to stop the Steiner! Buddy hits a METEORA on Zay! And POP-UP KNEE for Quen! Malakai climbs, Buddy suplexes Zay! JACKHAMMER and COUP DE GRACE!! Cover, TWO?!?! Zay survives and the fans can’t believe it! Neither can The House! But this is how badly Private Party want that gold! Malakai rises, he and Buddy drag Zay up, but Action storms out here! Action is still furious from last week, and his loss tonight doesn’t help. Leila Grey says don’t do it, but Action CHUCKS a water bottle at Buddy! The House storms over, but Dante tags in off Malakai!
The House wants Action, Action wants the House, but this is letting Dante snipe a DOUBLE TOPE!! Down goes The House! Action says that’s what the House gets! But then Dante goes up, into PARTY IN MOTION! Zay runs to use Quen as a step, to FLY! Down goes The House AND Dante! The fans are all fired up as Zay puts Dante in. Quen puts Dante up, Zay GAMANGIRIS, and then we get some GIN & JUICE!! Cover, Private Party wins!
Winners: Private Party, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contenders to the AEW World Tag Team Championships)
The House is rather beside themselves, because they let Action be a distraction. Will Malakai & Buddy have to make sure this is The End for Top Flight? As for Private Party, now that they have their SHOTS, SHOTS, SHOTS, can they win, win, win? Or will The Young Bucks make sure WrestleDream becomes a nightmare?
My Thoughts:
A very good Collision here, though it had some bad luck going up against WWE Bad Blood. Whenever it is Rampage folds, Collision should really move to Friday and not be a Saturday show. And it might just be me, but this was another rather talky episode. Though, I did like Archer beating up on randos and Callis trying to recruit him. I also liked that they established Jake Roberts is still Archer’s manager, even though we haven’t seen him much. And very good promo to flip things from last night, Kris getting in Kamille’s face. Kris of course beat Zoey Lynn, but Kamille of course knocked Kris down. They’ll have a great match that will surely establish Kris as Mone’s next challenger.
Though, speaking of, Emi Sakura is coming back to get fed to Mone. But at least Mone is having a title match on Title Tuesday, or just at all. Great promo from The Conglomeration to hype up not just both matches tonight, but also the stories to come. Great match from Willow VS Adora, and I feel like they should’ve done like, “Glamour Cam” with Mariah watching ringside, her reactions were great. Great win for Willow, and combined with Britt’s promo, I figured those two would face off for the title shot. I feel like they didn’t really pace things out well to just suddenly have this match affect the PPV, but well, that’s Tony Khan for you.
Great tag match of Cassidy & Kyle VS Premier Athletes that The Conglomeration of course won. We didn’t get much more in story, though, but the go-home week can help that. Awesome Fatal 4 Way, and Hologram is almost too powerful. But the fans also love him, so I can’t wait to see him primed for a title match after WrestleDream. Very good promo from Yuta with Claudio, and very good match of Yuta VS Beef. Beef is getting really good in that ring, he’s definitely going places. Yuta’s berserker mode is also great stuff, I wonder if he’ll unleash that on Pac for Tuesday.
But something about Claudio’s words to Yuta, it feels like Yuta might end up choosing The BCC, but I kinda hope he “carries on” the legacy of Bryan Danielson. He’s already been gifted the Cattle Mutilation so he could be fighting against The BCC like Sting fought against the NWO. Great vignette from the #FTRunners, and great match from GYV VS Outrunners. Outrunners winning was quite the shocker, I thought GYV would win to compel a rematch with FTR. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
Very good match from Darby VS Johnny, which Darby of course won, and great bit making Brody King his opponent for WrestleDream. Not sure Darby needed to give his promo after calling Brody out for Tuesday, he should have just waited for Tuesday. Then Darby can do his reveal of “It was me, Brody! I got you here!” But even then, Darby VS Brody is going to be a hard hitting, gnarly show stealer of a match. And great stuff in that Triple Threat Tag main event, but just as I said last night, House of Black cancels out with Top Flight, Private Party wins. And also like I said last night, I really hope Private Party wins, they kinda deserve their moment.
My Score: 8.8/10

PLAY BY PLAY
It’s the Bad Blood Countdown Show!
Join Megan Morant & Sam Roberts in discussing, analyzing and predicting all the action, or rather all the grudge matches, that are about to go down tonight.
Exclusive interview with Dominik Mysterio & Liv Morgan.
Jackie Redmond sits down with The Judgment Day’s “power couple” ahead of tonight’s Shark Cage match. So much has happened personally and professional since Liv’s return. She has the world title, a new boyfriend, so how did we get here? Liv says Rhea and her used to be a tag team. They were great partners, and Liv can’t really verbalize the friendship that they had for each other. But April 18th, 2022, they had a match for the tag titles, lost, and Rhea completely blindsided Liv. Rhea attacked her, hurt her, but it is what it is, so Liv moves on. Her next partner, Raquel Rodriguez, helps her become a two-time tag team champion.
Rhea maybe got jealous of that. Rhea said Liv was holding her back. That led to July 24th, 2023, and a blindside attack. Rhea decimates Liv’s shoulder and arm, completely destroyed. But instead of feeling sorry for herself, Liv created the Liv Morgan Revenge Tour. The sole purpose was to take everything from Rhea. Jackie says Dominik isn’t exactly innocent in all this. He was with Rhea, “an item” as it were. How did it feel going from Dom saying he hates Liv to then Dom kissing her? Dom says he never really meant that. Is that true? Liv believes Dom. If he says he didn’t, then he didn’t. But in the end, he chose the right woman.
Dom & Liv are the most iconic, the hottest and just best couple ever. Then to tonight and Bad Blood. The title is on the line, and Dom will be confined in a cage. Dom cannot help Liv against Rhea. Dom says Liv never needed his help. She’s the best champion ever. She already beat Rhea twice, name another person who has done that to Rhea. Answer: No one. Dom always worries about Liv, but not here. So if- or when- Liv retains, will this be the end of the revenge tour? Well this is Rhea’s idea, and she claims Dom is the only reason Liv has won. When Liv beats Rhea again, it’s the third and final time, no more excuses. So yes, the revenge tour will finally end.
Jackie thanks them for their time and wishes them luck. Liv says let’s get some tendies. Will Dom be able to relax once he’s fed his appetite? Or will Rhea demolish Liv so bad that Dom will never want chicken tenders ever again?
Exclusive interview with Nia Jax.
Cathy Kelley sits down with The Queen of the Ring, and brings up the long history with Bayley. Bayley handed Nia one of her first major losses. It was NXT TakeOver, and Bayley made her tap out. Nia says TakeOver was so important because everyone wanted to be part of it because NXT was blazing a trail in wrestling. The energy was insane. Nia and Bayley were in NXT watching Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch and Charlotte Flair went to Raw & SmackDown, and even then Nia was watching Bayley face Asuka, so Nia felt she was “chasing” Bayley and that spotlight.
Nia took some time off recently, what was that like? Nia says it was the best thing for her. It was hard adjusting to not being out there for the fans, but it helped restore her passion for wrestling. Nia started to lose her Why, but it was really the best thing. It reset Nia Jax, and now she’s the best Nia ever. Yes, she is clearly on the top of her game as WWE Women’s Champion. But how does she see things going with Bayley? Nia says it will still be her beating the crap out of Bayley, but never sleep on her. Bayley IS the first ever WWE Grand Slam Champion, having worked so hard for this.
But Nia knows Bayley, and is ready to put her down so she doesn’t have to deal with her anymore. Cathy thanks Nia for her time, but will we see The Queen A-NIA-LATE the Role Model?
Samantha Irvin sings God Bless America.
The evidence is all there.
The usual suspects are all under scrutiny. It was back in July that Triple H gave Cody Rhodes a confidential folder. Cody looked it over, and learned it was State Farm Arena. HHH had Cody take Metro Booming on a stakeout. Cody likes Metro, and HHH says who doesn’t. He’s a media mogul, and no one knows Atlanta like him and Cody. So the assignment is sitting in the parking lot? Well not every mission is finishing the story. But don’t take the tour bus, too much attention. If they get jammed up, call Roman. No, wait, text him.
Cody & Metro sit in the car, classic stakeout style. Doesn’t Cody have a bus? Doesn’t Metro have a bus? Good point. And as Metro said, soon enough, this place would be poppin’. Solo Sikoa vows that before the end of tonight, EVERYONE will acknowledge him. But that’s only if he brings down the Original and ONLY Tribal Chief, and the American Nightmare. And now, the time has come. Cody is on mission, but will The American Nightmare and Roman Reigns be able to work together to accomplish this missions?
Triple H heads to gorilla!
As Michael Cole lets us know from commentary, The Game has a historic announcement to make, but what more could WWE do to raise the bar?
The BIG 3 are in the ring!
Our hosts for Bad Blood are none other than Naomi, Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill! Jade says they are honored and excited to be here tonight in Atlanta, Georgia! Bianca welcomes everyone to the return of WWE Bad Blood! It will be an amazing and historic night. Naomi says no doubt. As the hosts, it is their job to get this party started with… HELL IN A CELL~! And yes, the structure of steel descends upon the ring, ready to welcome two men full of malice.
Hell in a Cell: Drew McIntyre VS CM Punk!
The Scottish Warrior, rightfully or not, blames The Second City Saint for everything that has gone wrong this year, especially at WrestleMania. Both men have pushed this from just disliking each other to downright hating each other, and it has all reached its peak. Who doesn’t so much win this match as opposed to surviving it?
The bell rings and the fans are already fired up. The chants for “C M PUNK! C M PUNK!” are loud and clear, but McIntyre just frowns. The two slowly step forward, they say some last trash talk, and then the hands start flying! The fans fire up more, and McIntyre RAMS Punk into a corner! McIntyre ROCKS and CHOPS Punk, but Punk fires back! McIntyre fires a windmill of haymakers, CLUBS away on Punk, then brings Punk out, only for Punk to fire haymakers!

McIntyre then goes up the steps to grind Punk into the steps! And then he STOMPS Punk! Punk sputters while McIntyre leaves him behind. McIntyre goes looking, and he brings out a toolbox! Probably the very thing used to put this ring together! McIntyre dumps out the contents, and he grabs a wrench!
McIntyre runs up but Punk ducks! Wrench hits post, and then Punk fires hands on McIntyre! Punk GRINDS the wrench into McIntyre’s forehead! McIntyre writhes but Punk drags him into the ring. Punk stalks McIntyre, but McIntyre ROCKS him! Punk checks his chin but McIntyre runs up to BOOT him! McIntyre spots the table, he brings that around and sets it up. Wait, no, he RIPS a leg off! McIntyre takes aim, but Punk kicks McIntyre first! Punk drop toeholds McIntyre into the table edge!! McIntyre sputters, and now Punk has the legs! Punk JAMS McIntyre with it! Punk CHOKES McIntyre and rains down fists!
The fans are going nuts, because who knew you could use a table like this? Speaking of, Punk THROWS McIntyre down onto the table! McIntyre lands right on the frame! Punk drags McIntyre up, and THROWS him down again! McIntyre writhes more and fans want that some more! Punk pushes McIntyre off the table so he can set the leg up. McIntyre fights back as Punk tries to push him into the legs! McIntyre ELBOWS Punk away, bails out of the ring, but Punk pursues. Punk kicks low, fireman’s carries, but McIntyre grabs the cage! McIntyre uses the chain links to get free of the fireman’s carry, to CLAYMORE!!
The fans fire up while both men are down on the outside! The fans still rally for Punk while McIntyre rises up. McIntyre drags Punk up, scoops him, and runs to LAWN DART Punk into steel cage! Punk goes down in a heap but McIntyre shakes the cage to rile up the fans. McIntyre sees Punk is busted open, and McIntyre grins. McIntyre pulls steel steps apart, and he runs up with the top half! McIntyre RAMS Punk down!! Punk falls in a heap, McIntyre sets the steps down, and then he SMACKS Punk off the steel! McIntyre stands on Punk again, to then STOMP his head! Punk writhes, leaving a stain on the steel.
McIntyre tells Punk this will be the end of Punk’s career, and AJ Lee is gonna leave him! McIntyre ROCKS Punk, puts him in the ring, and the fans rally up again. McIntyre uses the wrench to DIG at the bloody wound!! Punk gets away from McIntyre but McIntyre looks at the blood on his hands. McIntyre then goes out to bring out another table! The fans are torn, they like tables but aren’t so into McIntyre right now. The ref checks on Punk while McIntyre sets the table up. Punk sputters through his crimson mask but he isn’t gonna quit here. McIntyre storms into the ring, and he drags Punk up to DECK him!
McIntyre soaks up heat as he looms over Punk, and then he drags Punk up. McIntyre scoops but Punk fights free! Punk shoves McIntyre away, then SHINING WIZARD in the corner!

McIntyre shoves the steps into the ring, and Punk finally rises. The fans rally up, and McIntyre puts Punk in the ring.
McIntyre storms in after Punk, but his body is failing from all this damage. Even so, McIntyre drags Punk up. But Punk fireman’s carries! GO TO SLEEP!!! Cover, TWO!?!? The fans cannot believe it!

McIntyre suckered Punk in, that look of rage is clear through the crimson mask. McIntyre then goes looking on the outside, and he brings out… a mysterious black bag. Those never have anything good in them, either!
McIntyre returns into the ring, and he tells Punk this is the end. McIntyre pours the bag out, and it’s BEADS! Beads that make friendship bracelets!! McIntyre then aims, to run up, but Punk moves! McIntyre CRASHES ONTO STEPS!! The fans lose their minds as Punk now stands, and he grabs a STEEL CHAIN! Punk wraps that chain around his knee! Punk then goes back to McIntyre, and he gathers up beads! Punk makes McIntyre eat the beads!! Payback for weeks ago, then a FULL METAL, BEAD FILLED, GO TO SLEEP!!! Cover, PUNK WINS!
Winner: CM Punk, by pinfall
After the hell McIntyre put Punk through before this, and after the hell these two just put each other through, it is The Second City Saint that survives! But then, with McIntyre in his past, can Punk return to former glory, aka the World Heavyweight Championship?
The Big 3 are in the VIP suite!
Cathy Kelley is with Naomi, Bianca & Jade and asks about this party. It seems like everyone is here. Yes, everyone is here! Mickie James, Pete Rosenberg, DDP, X-Pac, and yeah, JEY USO~! YEET! It is so much fun already, but what match are they looking forward to? Jade says Liv VS Rhea! Naomi is pumped to see her girl, Bayley, do what she do. She’ll get it tonight. Bianca says she wishes Bayley the best of luck. Big thumbs up because that match is next!
WWE Women’s Championship: Nia Jax VS Bayley!
The Queen of the Ring won this title at SummerSlam in part because of a “Tiffy Tease” cash-in. But since then, Nia’s made sure Miss Money in the Bank knows her place. Will the Role Model get her revenge in this rematch? Or will Bad Blood just be SummerSlam revisited?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who truly holds the crown on SmackDown!
The bell rings and the two run up! They fire forearms, but then Nia RAMS Bayley into the corner! Nia fires more shots, THROWS Bayley, then runs to SPLASH Bayley in the corner!

Triple H heads to the ring!
Atlanta fires up as The Game steps out from gorilla position to bring us the massive announcement he promised! Waiting for him in the ring is a podium branded under WWE Crown Jewel, and there’s something under a familiar black veil. The fans cheer HHH on as he grabs a mic. “It’s hard to believe it’s been 30 years since I was living just up the road on Windy Hill. 1994, I was terrorizing WCW, and here we are tonight with all of you making history. 16,092 of you making history. Our 60th sellout of 2024, making history. Our largest grossing arena event in history, right here tonight, because of all of you, thank you very much.”
The fans cheer, and HHH says while we’re in the middle of all that, let’s talk about the next historic event in just four weeks. In just four weeks, one of the biggest spectacles on the WWE calendar takes place. Brought to you by Riyadh Season, it is Crown Jewel! Fans are torn on that, but HHH says this year, we will make history because it will be the beginning of a new era for the WWE. An annual event that will take place with Crown Jewel. Where the reigning WWE Champion will face the reigning World Champion. It will be that for both men AND women! So here’s the catch: Neither title will be on the line.
BUT… HHH promises us there will be a definitive winner. And that winner will be crowned the 2024 CROWN JEWL CHAMPOIN! HHH unveils a MASSIVE belt, decked out in gold and jewels. 50 karats will signify the winner as the best of the best! Fans do like that! But wait! Here comes GUNTHER! Der Ring General shows off his World Heavyweight Championship while he joins HHH in the ring. Gunther grabs himself a mic and says, “Atlanta, what would Bad Blood be without the World Heavyweight Champion?” Fans are torn on that, but Gunther tells HHH that this bel tis beautiful.
But if you remember, only a few months ago, after Gunther’s win against Randy Orton, HHH handed Gunther the King of the Ring trophy. So Gunther is excited to do the same with this Crown Jewel Championship. Gunther knows, though, that he defends the world title against Sami Zayn. The fans cheer “SAMI! SAMI!” but Gunther says c’mon, let’s be honest. Guys like Sami have their role, but they’re not cut out to be “The Top Guy.” But enough of that! Now, as a future legend, Gunther wants to point out the legends in attendance today. Atlanta cheers “GOLD~BERG! GOLD~BERG!” and Gunther smirks. Yes, it’s Bill Goldberg!
The fans cheer as Goldberg waves. Gunther is happy to finally meet in this fashion. Gunther needs to clarify something. You might remember that Gunther told Bret Hart that Goldberg is Gunther’s hero. It wasn’t true. Let’s be real! How can the greatest wrestler on Earth be impressed by a one trick pony like Goldberg? Now, now, Gunther is just saying. No disrespect, just busting balls. But here’s some real advice. Goldberg’s son, Gage. Hopefully Bill is a better dad than he was a wrestler! Gage gets a bit upset, and now Goldberg stands up! Gunther says fine, bring it! Goldberg hops the barriers and Gunther says he’s got three minutes!
Security gets in the way, though, and even Adam Pearce and producers hurry out here. The fans want to “LET THEM FIGHT!” but security manages to keep between Goldberg and ring. Gunther keeps taunting Goldberg, but then SAMI ZAYN jumps in! Sami fires off on Gunther and the fans fire up! Sami then PLANCHAS and down goes Gunther! Producers hurry to stop Sami, only for Gunther to BOOT Sami! Gunther storms off, his fight with Sami is this Monday. But then Sami gets loose! Sami TACKLES Gunther on the ramp! They scrap, security and producers separate them, but will nothing stop Sami from taking that title and going to Crown Jewel?
The Big 3 continue to party!
And they have Metro Boomin here! Metro brought Cody here to the arena, what was his advice to Cody? Cody just has to handle business as one of Atlanta’s own. How does he feel about him teaming with Roman Reigns? Wait, what’s that smell? Chelsea Green walks in. She asks what. Girl, you still stank. Go take another shower. Chelsea says fine, she didn’t wanna be here anyway! C’mon, Piper! No, no, Piper can stay, she cool. Piper chooses party over Chelsea. Sorry, Chelse. The Hot Mess storms off, will she ever live down her Dumpster Match loss?

Roman rebounds to SUPERMAN PUNCH!! The fans are thunderous for the “OOAH~!” But the Guerrillas of Destiny are here! Roman scares off Tama & Loa, but he turns around into a SPEAR?!?! Solo covers, TWO!!! Roman survives and Solo can’t believe it!
Fans chant “YEET! YEET! YEET!” because they wanna see Jey help family! But Solo tells Roman, “You lied to me!” Solo says he was supposed to be next in line but that was a lie! Wait, who is that in the hoodie? The Guerrillas turn around to look, and they get a SUPERKICK! And a SUPERKICK! That man… is JIMMY USO!! Jimmy is back and he just screwed Solo! Solo turns around, into the SPEAR!!!! Cover, Roman & Cody win!!
Winners: Cody Rhodes & Roman Reigns, by pinfall
The OTC has HIS Bloodline backing him again as Jimmy returns and does the right thing! Roman is just as surprised as anyone, but he and Jimmy hug it out! The Ones are back, but Roman does look to Cody. Cody is back on his feet, Undisputed Championship in his hands. These rivals stare down, and Roman nods. While Solo’s Bloodline is no longer Cody’s problem, when and where will he and Roman have it out again? WAIT, Tama & Loa still attack! Solo, too! Jimmy says c’mon, they gotta go help Cody now! Roman did give Cody his word, right? Jimmy will do what Roman does, so Roman says yeah. They run up, and they knock down Jacob and Tama!
Jimmy brawls with Loa, SUPERKICK! Solo swings, misses, Jimmy SUPERKICKS! SUPERMAN PUNCH again! Solo’s side just doesn’t know when to quit! But then wait. Roman sees the title, and he picks it up. Roman looks it over, but then he hands the title back to Cody. The fans cheer, the truce is still on. But for how much longer? WAIT!! THE ROCK is here?!?! Atlanta erupts all over again as The Final Boss, the Most Electrifying Man in ALL of Sports Entertainment, makes his presence known, The People’s Championship on his shoulder. No one knows what to make of this, but he seems to be staring Cody down.
The Rock hears the fans going nuts, and The Rock raises his eyebrow. Well, wait. Is he looking at Cody, Roman, or them both? Rock quietly counts to three, slashes his throat, and his music hits again. The Rock leaves, will he take on whoever he has to in order to become THE champion of WWE?
My Thoughts:
A great Bad Blood, but the match order was kinda backwards. Though a lot of that was on purpose, because of course you close the night with The Rock’s little moment there. The Bloodline story therefore also got the main event, and it was a really good match, though a lot of it was the excitement of seeing Roman wrestle again, finally facing Solo & Jacob. Well, Cody doing the big splash was definitely cool. And while it still came with overbooking, aka Tama & Loa showing up, that at least served as the opening for Jimmy Uso’s return, and that was great. Great reunion of Jimmy and Roman, and Rock staring down with Roman and/or Cody puts intrigue on the story but that’s about it.
Also very interesting news of this new “Crown Jewel Championship” idea that is clearly more a Saudi Prince idea than a HHH idea. The title is gigantic and ornate, it’s about pitting the best of both brands against each other, which that part isn’t so bad. Survivor Series has become less about brand VS brand but about WarGames and big faction stuff, so Crown Jewel can give us something akin to what many fans have missed about Survivor Series. The irony is not every fan is a fan of Crown Jewel. Gunther showing up to of course assume he’s gonna get that belt for the year is great, but they really shoehorned a moment with Goldberg into this. Though I do like that Gunther just gets on everyone’s case because he’s that cocky.
Sami showing up to get at Gunther was a great turnaround from the Goldberg stuff, because while they’re teasing Gunther VS Goldberg, I personally don’t care for that. Sami VS Gunther on Raw might finally be hard to predict if the winner goes to Crown Jewel to possibly win a giant bonus belt. Honestly, with how Sami has ended up a big part of these trips to Saudi Arabia, I could see Sami getting the World Heavyweight Championship to then be our inaugural Men’s Crown Jewel Champion. It’d be such a great honor for Sami, and a big way for someone, whether Saudi or WWE, to show their appreciation to Sami because he’s always been so good and yet so humble.
Really good match from Rhea and Liv with Dom stuck in the shark cage, but action wise it wasn’t quite as strong as it could’ve been. The story was clearly relying on Dom’s fear of the cage and then that great “falling out” spot for Dom to dangle there. I did like Rhea wanting to pinata Dom, but I feel like they got sloppy because Raquel’s attack on Rhea of course got caught by the ref. Either way, Liv keeps the title and that’s the point, as well as building up this “Street Trash” Judgment Day by giving them a heavy hitter again. Rhea might still come for revenge but she’ll have to get through Raquel, which is great stuff, but as it stands, Liv is facing Nia Jax at Crown Jewel.
Nia VS Bayley was itself a really good match, and they tried some things, but it wasn’t much stronger than their SummerSlam one. Tiff of course helped Nia, and I appreciate they stretched out that tease of the cash-in, maybe third time is the charm and Tiff just pulls the trigger. But Nia retains, moves on, maybe someone tries to take this title before Crown Jewel, so some of that unpredictability is fun. Finn VS Priest was also good, but it could’ve been better given we’re on PLE, not TV. It ended up feeling no different than TV because duh, Carlito & JD try to help, but Priest proves he’s stronger than all three and wins out. But I knew all along they were trading off, where if Priest won, Liv would retain.
We got fun bits from our hosts, Naomi, Bianca & Jade, such as Bianca being reluctant to cheer on Bayley, and everyone poking fun at Hot Stinky Mess Chelsea Green. Feels like plenty reason enough for Chelsea to drag Piper along in a tag title match against Bianca & Jade. And the opener of the night was the actual best match of the night, because CM Punk and Drew McIntyre went about as violent as we’ve seen WWE let their people get, especially in Hell in a Cell. They of course bled, with Punk bleeding first to give him that Face “uphill battle” trope. McIntyre bleeding was rather profuse, I wonder if he poked a bad spot.
I loved the black bag being bracelet beads, it was so fitting. But wow, I didn’t think McIntyre would ever crash and burn on a missed Claymore like he did there. Great win for Punk, because it clearly feels like Punk is now moving up into the world championship scene, but maybe he waits until after Crown Jewel as there’s talk that Punk isn’t much for that event. As for McIntyre, I would still love if they did my idea of McIntyre leaving to SmackDown. McIntyre can be so irate and distraught that he lost to Punk that he has to be on a different brand and fight for different titles.
My Score: 8.8/10
