Undisputed WWE Universal Championship #1 Contender’s Irish Donnybrook: Drew McIntyre VS Sheamus!
That’s a bit of a mouthful, huh? But the bottom line is, after ducking and dodging the Scottish Warrior, the Celtic Warrior has no choice but to fight!

Winner: Drew McIntyre, by pinfall (NEW #1 Contender to the Undisputed WWE Championship)
The Scottish Warrior wins! He conquers his former friend, and now he is moving on to Clash at the Castle! Kayla Braxton congratulates McIntyre, and he will head home to the UK to face whoever is champion. This must feel really good. McIntyre says first off, Hotlanta’s been rocking all match! And Sheamus, it didn’t have to be this way. But McIntyre knew what he had to do, because someone has to do something about that part-timer champion! But wait, (AUSTIN) THEORY CLOBBERS McIntyre with his MITB briefcase! And CLUBS him down! And again, and again! Theory reminds everyone that he’s got the contract, and he SMACKS McIntyre again!
Atlanta’s own gets booed as he says he’ll have the titles on his shoulders as the NEW Undisputed WWE Universal Champion! But will that become reality at SummerSlam? Or will Theory be champion only in theory?
Baron Corbin taunts McAfee from the crowd.
Corbin says he’s here as a fan, and that’s why he has a sign that says “LOSER” with a picture of McAfee on it. Corbin says McAfee can’t touch him, either! Corbin takes a seat with his big bag of popcorn and ticket in hand. McAfee wants to fight Corbin now, but he has to wait until SummerSlam.
Seth Rollins VS Matt Riddle for SummerSlam is OFF!
The Visionary’s vicious attack on The Bro, culminating in a Curb Stomp to steel steps has given Riddle a brachial plexus injury. Riddle has been medically disqualified from the coming match, but will there be substitute named so that the Visionary can still be on the card?
Corbin keeps badgering McAfee from his front row seat.
McAfee has had enough of it, but it’s security that comes by to stop this before it gets started. Corbin throws the whole bag of popcorn at McAfee! Then he jumps the railing! The officials try to get McAfee to sit down, but then Corbin LOW BLOWS him!! Fans boo while McAfee writhes on the ground. Corbin leaves with an obnoxious grin on his face, but will McAfee get the last laugh?
Backstage interview with (Austin) Theory.
But he already knows Kayla wants to ask him about the attack on McIntyre. Okay, then what’s his answer? He is sick and tired of everyone treating him like a punching bag. He is a future two-time United States Champion, and he is already the youngest Mr. MITB in history. He can’t help it if guys like Dolph Ziggler and Mad Cap Moss are jealous of him. But just because they’re jealous doesn’t mean he’ll stop cashing in tomorrow on SummerSlam to become the NEW Undisputed Universal Champion. And sure, Brock Lesnar gave Theory an F5m but that won’t stop him. Roman Reigns and the Bloodline attacked Theory, but that won’t stop him.
As a matter of fact, NO ONE will stop Theory becoming champion and then go to Cardiff to make McIntyre his punching back. But then Paul Heyman stands in his way. Heyman walks and talks with Theory about his bright future. Is the Wise Man going to somehow convince Theory of another way to the top?
Aliyah VS Shotzi Blackheart!
This was supposed to be Aliyah’s chance to get at Lacey Evans, but apparently Lacey isn’t medically cleared to compete tonight. The silver lining is that Aliyah gets another go at another foe in the wild child. Will Aliyah show everyone that she’s not some pushover? Or will Shotzi welcome her to the ballpit?
The bell rings, they circle and tie up, and Shotzi headlocks then facelocks then hammerlocks. Shotzi messes Aliyah’s hair and talks trash, but Aliyah keeps her cool. They circle, Aliyah dodges to headlock. Shotzi powers out but Aliyah hits a THESZ PRESS! Aliyah fires off fast hands, then she wrenches Shotzi to a cording hold. Shotzi throws Aliyah down by her hair! Shotzi stomps a mudhole into Aliyah, then she CHOKES Aliyah on the ropes! The ref counts, Shotzi lets off, and Shotzi runs in to SENTON Aliyah against ropes! Cover, TWO! Shotzi gets the leg, drags Aliyah around, and she stomps Aliyah in the stomach!
Shotzi then brings Aliyah around to a BOSTON CRAB! Aliyah endures, fans rally, and Aliyah drags herself over, to the ROPEBREAK! But Shotzi just drags Aliyah away! Aliyah turns over, kicks free and then kicks Shotzi away! Fans fire up, Shotzi runs in but Aliyah ROCKS her first! And again! Boxing elbows! SOBAT! Aliyah runs and LEAPING LARIATS! Cover, TWO! Shotzi bails out but Aliyah goes to the apron! FLYING THESZ PRESS! Aliyah fires off hands and fires up, and fans fire up with her! Aliyah brings Shotzi around but Shotzi POSTS her! Shotzi snarls and drags Aliyah up and into the ring.
Shotzi drags Aliyah up, hooks her legs, FISHERMAN DDT! Cover, Shotzi wins!
Winner: Shotzi Blackheart, by pinfall
Shotzi just made sure Aliyah will #NeverWakeUp with that one! Will Shotzi use this momentum to make her way towards the title?
SmackDown shares exclusive footage from last week.
After losing to Raquel Rodriguez, Sonya Deville vented at the WWE Universe. They boo when she wins and cheer when she loses, but there is not a single person in that locker room that will make her leave! But RONDA ROUSEY showed up! And she fired off on Sonya, then hit the PIPER’S PIT! And the ARMBAR! Sonya tapped, will she learn not to run her mouth now?
Ronda Rousey and Liv Morgan have a photoshoot.
Challenger and champion stare down in front of a SummerSlam poster, but Natalya walks in to tell Liv to soak it all in. Liv needs to enjoy these final few hours of being SmackDown Women’s Champion, because Ronda will destroy her in record time! Liv says, “I don’t think so.” Natty says the photographer should be taking pictures of her with the title, because she’s the only reason Liv has it! But then Sonya Deville walks in. Natty has amazing points, but isn’t it ironic that Ronda is the “Baddest Woman on the Planet,” but she went after Sonya after Raquel already did the damage? Ronda storms off but Liv says this is more like being a sore loser.
Shotzi is laughing in the ring!
She says Aliyah will never- Wait, Ronda is coming out here?! Seems Sonya’s whining set her off, and Shotzi’s the one in the ring. Ronda tells Shotzi to go, but Shotzi tries a sucker punch! She gets thrown around, and then gets a PIPER’S PIT! “Bye, Shotzi.” Ronda is sick and tired of everyone else complaining they should be in the title picture instead of her. And that heckler should shut up, and their mom failed them. But Liv, you come out here and show the other chicks why they’re the title match and not the others! Ronda wants a fight, who will give her that fight?
SmackDown returns, and Liv makes her entrance. The champion took Ronda up on her offer, but what kind of match are we getting? HOLLA HOLLA, PLAYA!
Ronda Rousey & Liv Morgan VS Sonya Deville & Natalya!
Adam Pearce made this match during break, now we’ll see if Ronda can break Sonya and Natty before going after Liv as her opponent!
The teams sort out, Ronda steps up against the Queen of Harts. Natty shoves Ronda, but Ronda blocks the kick to throw Natty around! Natty gets up, she and Ronda circle and tie up. Natty waistlocks, Ronda wrenches to a hammerlock, but Natty hits a fireman’s carry takeover. Natty has the armlock, but Ronda fights up. Natty wrenches, Ronda slips through to wrench back. Natty endures, rolls, handsprings, and wrenches but Ronda hits a hip toss! Cover, TWO! Ronda facelocks, tags Liv, and fans fire up. Natty gets away but Ronda gives Liv a boost to RANA! Natty tags out to Sonya, she rushes in but misses as Liv kicks, KICKS, but Sonya ROCKS Liv!
Sonya fires off kicks in the corner but lets off as the ref reprimands. Sonya rushes back in but Liv goes up and over. Sonya kicks Liv low, runs but Liv follows to SHOTGUN! Liv fires up and the fans fire up with her, she runs in to back body block! Liv rolls and comes back to whip Sonya to the corner. Liv runs in to SHINING WIZARD! Ronda tags in, but Liv says she was fine. Sonya runs in, Liv goes Matrix and Ronda BOOTS Sonya down. Ronda gets a leg but Sonya gets to ropes! Liv tags in as Ronda lets go, they argue again, but Sonya trips Liv! Sonya RAMS Liv into barriers and soaks up heat! Fans boo but Sonya puts Liv in to KNEE in the side!
Liv crawls to ropes, Sonya tags Natty. Sonya CHOKES Liv, Natty smacks Liv around. Natty snap suplexes then wraps on a chinlock. Fans rally and Liv fights up to throw body shots. Natty CLUBS Liv, throws her out, then pursues to snap suplex Liv to the ramp! Liv writhes and Natty grins while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns as Sonya dribbles Liv off buckles! Sonya lets off as the ref counts, and she throws Liv down. Sonya lines up a shot and KNEES Liv down! Cover, TWO! Liv survives but Sonya drags her up. Sonya puts Liv back in the corner, tags Natty, and they double suplex Liv! Fans rally up for Liv and Ronda but Natty clamps on a chinlock. Natty holds out Liv’s hand mockingly, then she turns Liv around. Liv throws body shots but Natty throws Liv down! Natty gets the legs, stomps Liv in the stomach, then steps through. Liv kicks Natty away, dodges her, but Natty gets a foot to reel Liv in! CODE BREAKER! Liv thinks about the tag but covers, TWO!!
Liv drags Natty back up, fires off haymakers but Natty hits back! Natty whips Liv into the corner, runs in but into a BOOT! Liv swings on Sonya but Natty CLOBBERS her! Natty SLAPS Liv, tags Sonya, and they mug Liv. Sonya gets in Liv’s face, then ROCKS her with a forearm! Sonya snapmares Liv, clamps on a chinlock and thrashes Liv around. Liv endures, Ronda coaches Liv up, and fans rally up again. Liv throws elbows, ROCKS Sonya with haymakers, but Sonya shoves and ROUNDHOUSES! Liv ENZIGURIS! Both women are down and fans fire up! Liv and Sonya crawl, hot tag to Natty, but Liv says no!
Liv runs at Sonya, misses, Natty has her for a REBOUND- VICTORY ROLL from Liv! TWO!! Liv hurries up but into a DISCUS! Cover, TWO!! Liv is trying to do this on her own but that makes this a handicap match! Natty runs in, drop toehold into buckles! Liv has a clear path, she makes her way over, Ronda tags herself in! Ronda rallies on Sonya, then goes up to ELBOW Sonya down! Fans fire up as Ronda gets Sonya up for a PIPER’S PIT! Ronda talks some smack, but Natty CLOBBERS her from behind! But Liv goes after Natty! Liv gives Natty ObLIVion! Ronda has the ANKLE LOCK on Sonya!! Sonya taps, Ronda and Liv win!
Winners: Ronda Rousey & Liv Morgan, by submission
The challenger and champion win together, but now they’ll have to fight each other tomorrow night! Will the Baddest Woman on the Planet take back that belt? Or will Liv prove she can be more than a one and done?
The Street Profits are here!
Angelo Dawkins & Montez Ford are in Atlanta for a very special face-to-face with The Usos, and special guest referee, Jeff Jarrett! Double J is going to lay down the law, but will he have to flex his authority here tonight?
SmackDown returns as The Usos make their entrance. And then Jarrett comes out to say whoa whoa whoa! Double J has something to say! He has some words for the Profits, and the Usos! Jarrett felt it’d be a good idea for the five of them to get things straight before SummerSlam. He wants them all to understand just how serious he’s taking his job of being a special guest referee. Jey says hold up, ATL! It’s J E Double F, J A Double R E Double T! Jey wants to know if it’s a DQ if Jey hit Ford in the face and his nose started leaking on the canvas like on Monday. Jimmy asks Jarrett if it’s a DQ if he took both belts and wrapped them around Dawkins’ head like those headbands he has!
Dawkins says hold on. Is it a DQ if he hits Jimmy so hard, he comes back with face paint on? The Profits mock the haka, then Ford asks if it’s a DQ if they do that and more and then you look on the mat and see the Profits did nothing but drop bodies. Bodies? BODIES! And then you see NEW Undisputed WWE Tag Team Champions! The Profits are up, and nothing changes! #WeWantTheSmoke!! Jarrett has everyone hold on. The four of them certainly have some creative imaginations. But listen: Jarrett isn’t here to contain them. In fact, he’s just here to let them run wild! He just has one job: when two shoulders are down, he counts 1-2-3.
BUT… that’s tomorrow. As far as tonight goes, it is very apparent that these four have some outstanding issues. So if they feel froggy, why don’t ya jump? Dawkins says hey, ain’t no jumping. But one more question: Is it a DQ if he SUCKER PUNCHES! The brawl is on! Jarrett watches from a corner as this all goes around the ring! But then Ford dodges and a SUPERKICK takes Jarrett down! Everyone is stunned! Jey is worried, is that going to affect Jarrett’s thoughts on them? Jey apologizes, then he and Jimmy help Jarrett up. But Jarrett shoves the Usos away! And then Dawkins POUNCES the Usos out of the ring! And Ford FLIES! Direct hit at the ramp!
The Profits stand tall and Jarrett stares at the Usos as they regroup. Will the Usos’ historic reign end in Nashville?
Maxxine Dupri speaks.
“Hi. I’m Maxxine Du-Pri, and I’m the Director of Talent for Maximum Male Models. Welcome to the debut of the 2022 SummerSlam beach wear collection.” Maçè is sporting the SummerSlam swim shorts, accentuating his symmetric quadriceps. And Mansôör is styling the ultra modern SummerSlam crop top, perfectly displaying his awe-inspiring abdominals. And Max Dupri is back! He and his sister are still seeking those who embody the excellence of physique to titillate the juices of your guilty pleasures.
The New Day VS The Viking Raiders!
Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods have tried fighting the new and vicious Erik & Ivar, and they’ve tried poking fun at them, too. Neither has really worked out for them, but perhaps an actual match will finally settle this! Will ya bois be able to stop the raid? Or will the warpath continue right through SummerSlam weekend?
SmackDown returns and the Viking Raiders make their entrance. The teams sort out Woods starts against Erik. They tie up, Woods headlocks but Erik powers out. Woods goes up and over, ROCKS Erik, but Erik puts Woods in the corner. Woods dodges the haymaker, CHOPS and fires off hands! Woods climbs up to rain down fists but Erik carries him out. Woods sunset flips, ONE! Erik CLOBBERS Woods, then he drags Woods up to whip. Woods ducks ‘n’ dodges, Kofi tags in, and Woods shoves Erik into Kofi’s shoulder. Kofi then springboards to CROSSBODY! Cover, TWO! Kofi keeps on Erik with knees, then whips. Erik reverses, Kofi goes up, FLYING RANA!
Kofi gets up, but Erik FLYING KNEES! Both men are down but Ivar tags in. Erik drags Kofi up, he and Ivar mug Kofi at the ropes! The ref counts, the Vikings let off and the fans boo. Ivar drags Kofi up to put in a corner, fire haymakers, and he tags Erik. Erik throws body shots, but fans rally up. Kofi fights back with body shots on Erik, elbows on Ivar, but Erik shoves Kofi back. Ivar tags in, Erik shoves Kofi and Ivar YANKS Kofi out of the ring! BASEMENT CROSSBODY against barriers! Kofi is down and dazed while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Ivar has Kofi in a chinlock. Kofi endures as Ivar thrashes him around. Kofi fights up as fans rally and he throws body shots! Ivar DECKS Kofi with a haymaker! Ivar drags Kofi up and DECKS him again! Ivar then gets Kofi up again, but Kofi counters with an SOS! Fans fire up while both men are down! They crawl, hot tags to Erik and Woods! Atlanta fires up as Woods dodges, rallies, and whips. Erik reverses but Woods tilt-o-whirls into a RUSSIAN LEG SWEEP! But Ivar clamps on and whips Woods to ropes!

Winners: The Viking Raiders, by pinfall
Erik & Ivar put away the eleven-time tag team champions, and then they grab their shields and some chairs! The win is not enough, they want to destroy the New Day! Woods hurries in to save his friend, but he gets a SHIELD BASH!! Erik throws Kofi out and now Ivar puts the chair around Woods’ leg! Ivar then picks up his shield, he and Erik DOUBLE SHIELD BASH THE CHAIR!!! Woods clutches his leg, the very leg that was injured and kept him out of action! Have the Viking Raiders sidelines Woods themselves?
Paul Heyman is in the ring.
The Special Counsel to the Tribal Chief gets an introduction from the ring announcer while he paces. Heyman says, “Ladies and gentlemen, my name…” “…is Paul Heyman!” Atlanta knows the introduction, but Heyman says it himself. And Heyman serves as Special Counsel to YOUR Tribal Chief. “The one and only Undisputed Heavyweight Champion, not just all of WWE, but all of sports entertainment, the GOAT, the Greatest of All Time, the Head of the Table, and tomorrow night, tomorrow night, tomorrow night at SummerSlam, the last! Man! Standing! Roman…! Reigns!
“700 days in the modern era as the heavyweight champion. An unheard of accomplishment, not for a few years, not for a decade, but for 35 years, no one has gotten to 700 days as the heavyweight champion. And guess who is gonna be the spoiler tomorrow night? BRRROCK! LESNARRR! Over my damn, dead body. Tomorrow night, Roman Reigns will not pin Brock Lesnar. Roman Reigns will not just smash Brock Lesnar. Tomorrow night, Roman Reigns is going to put Brock Lesnar down for 10 seconds, stand over a defeated, humiliated, embarrassed, victimized Brock Lesnar, hold both titles up in the air, be the last man standing, and we all be done with Brock Lesnar once and for all!”
Fans are a bit torn on that, but then HERE COMES BROCK LESNAR!! Heyman looks like he’s seen a ghost as the Alpha Male of Our Species makes his way down the ramp! Lesnar grins as he circles the ring and Heyman clutches his chest. Lesnsar gets in the ring, and Heyman offers him the mic. Lesnar steps to Heyman and Heyman cowers in the corner. Theory attacks with the briefcase! But it doesn’t take Lesnar down! Lesnar DECKS Theory, SMACKS away on him with the briefcase, then hauls Theory up for a GERMAN SUPLEX! And then another GERMAN SUPLEX! Hotlanta is #SuplexCity!
Theory crawls away with the case, flounders up the ramp, but turns around into a CLAYMORE!! McIntyre gets payback on Theory, and he stares Lesnar down! Could we see a rematch from WrestleMania 36 happen at Clash at the Castle? Will the Tribal Chief retain the titles? Or will Theory, beat down as he is right now, still pull off the cash-in after calling his shot?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown that didn’t feel like the usual WWE go-home, and that’s a good thing. They didn’t stuff this thing full of recap videos, we just got a lot of action that helped build the energy going into SummerSlam. Opening with McIntyre VS Sheamus was quite the surprise, but that was so the match could breathe and really give us everything they could. A little annoying that the Brutes got involved but of course they were going to. Why can’t there ever be a point where management thinks, “Hey, maybe we should do a ringside ban, threatening suspensions and fines?” But in the end, McIntyre comes out looking even stronger.
And I do appreciate that Theory attacked McIntyre here. He didn’t say it in his backstage interview promo, but he is becoming the afterthought because even commentary was saying the winner of the Donnybrook was going to be taking on either Roman or Lesnar. Heyman talking Theory into jumping Lesnar in the final segment was also rather clever. It’s Heyman playing off that ego to sucker Theory in while also trying to weaken Lesnar up even just a little. But naturally, that doesn’t happen, Lesnar is too tough for Theory. And McIntyre getting even with Theory definitely does tease the possibility of Lesnar VS McIntyre finally happening in front of fans. However, I don’t see it, as there’s still a lot in Roman’s favor.
Rollins VS Riddle being off of SummerSlam is definitely a new angle in the story. I don’t know why it’s happening, unless Randy Orton is making a shockingly quick return. Randy could prove everyone wrong and fight Rollins on Riddle’s behalf, showing us that RKBRO is still a thing. If that’s not the case, then I don’t know. Is there real heat between Rollins and Riddle again and HHH is trying to help that now that he’s in charge? Also Corbin heckling McAfee the entire time from his seat was actually pretty hilarious because McAfee kept pointing it out. And then of course Corbin uses it to take advantage and get that cheap shot. I really hope this means McAfee wins.
Pretty good stuff out of the women’s division tonight, but I will say this: a new problem I have with this Lacey Evans Heel thing is that she doesn’t even wrestle. She walked out of three matches in a row, from the tag match with Aliyah to the two singles matches with Aliyah. And now she doesn’t even show up, (kayfabe) claiming she is hurt. But Shotzi subbing it was definitely good for Shotzi, she got to get a win for it. Good promos from Ronda, Liv, Natty and Sonya, very good tag match between them, and of course Ronda and Liv win so that they both have momentum and the math is still the same. And as I’ve been saying, I really hope Liv wins and gets to have more than one month as a champion. Then it can be Liv giving us some fresh match-ups going towards Clash at the Castle.
A little surprised LA Knight is still Max Dupri after rumors were flying around, but I guess those rumors were wrong. Now Maximum Male Models is a four person faction, but seeing as how Sophia (Maxxine) didn’t wrestle in NXT, I don’t see her wrestling on SmackDown. I just wish MMM would get in the ring already. Great to see New Day and Viking Raiders finally have a match, and it was a very good one. Viking Raiders winning and going after Woods’ leg like that were some big surprises, but I suppose this is part of their new vicious attitude. At this point, I’d expect the Viking Raiders to be next for the Undisputed Tag Team Championships.
And speaking of which, we got a great segment between the Usos, Profits and Jarrett. I was kinda hoping Jarrett would be a bit more direct about how he said his only job was to count a pin. If this was some kind of No Disqualification tag, or something akin to that, I feel like it’d finally make sense to have a special guest ref. But anyway, we got a great brawl from the teams, and a great sell of that superkick from Double J. But with the Profits standing tall, I have a feeling the Usos are going to continue on as champions. Unless WWE suddenly decides to go against go-home math, which would be pretty cool.
My Score: 8.6

Cody Rhodes talks with Nick Aldis backstage.
They shake hands, but the SmackDown General Manager tells the WWE Champion there’s been a change: Cody’s out of the Six Man Tag match. What? Why would Aldis do that? It is out of Aldis’s hands. Wait, Solo Sikoa shows up to do what he did, but they can’t do the Six Man Tag that they advertised? How is this out of Aldis’s hands? Who do they need to talk to so they can do the match? Aldis says there’s no one either of them can call, if you smell what’s cooking. This is coming from The Final Boss, and The Final Boss wants to see Cody in the ring tonight. What business could The Great One have with The American Nightmare?
Drew McIntyre VS Jimmy Uso!
The Scottish Terminator rubbed it in Big Jim’s face that only one of them is going to Elimination Chamber in Toronto, which Big Jim was able to brush off. But McIntyre harping on how only one Uso is going to WrestleMania was a step too far. These two look to have it out, but is Jimmy just playing into McIntyre’s hands? Or will McIntyre get embarrassed by “the other Uso” this close to that big time match?
Speaking of, Jimmy has a message for Drew as he heads to gorilla. “Everybody know you’re going to Elimination Chamber, right? But Big Jimmy got a question for the Big Easy: Will Drew go onto the Elimination Chamber and win that? Will Drew go onto WrestleMania and win that? Ey, Drew, I think we got an answer for you, Uce. The answer is…” “NO YEET!” Jimmy makes his entrance, the bell rings, and the fans rally behind Jimmy. Jimmy and Drew jaw, and then Drew raises his hands, to say UP YOURS!

A car pulls into the parking lot.
And out steps Solo Sikoa. Solo heads inside, and he finds Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga waiting. Solo tells them that last week with Tama, that was an accident. Jacob says yeah, it’s all good, Uce. But keep it 100: If it wasn’t an accident, Solo wouldn’t be standing here right now. Well, good! Glad to see we’re all on the same page. Solo says he will be in the corner during the match for Jacob & Tama. Uh, no, Solo, no disrespect, but Jacob & Tama have been running things on SmackDown these past couple weeks. So tonight, it’s Jacob & Solo running the play? Yadada mean? Yeah, of course. And that right there, Jacob, is exactly why Solo loves him.
Solo says he’ll be back, he has to talk with Nick Aldis. Solo heads out, but will he really just step right back into place from before he lost the ula fala?
Carmelo Hayes is backstage.
R-Truth calls out to Melo, and says for the first time ever, Truth VS Melo! What’s Truth talking about? Duh, they have a match. No, Truth, Melo knows. But they had a match last week. Truth says he has never met Melo in his life, but they have a tag match tonight. What? No, they don’t. Who even made this match? Him. Truth, they are not going through this H1M who’s on first thing again. Melo is H1M. No, him made the match. The Miz!? Miz says he’s H1M. So now there’s two of you? No no no! Melo is H1M, this is The Miz! Yeah, #MeloDon’tMiz! NO! That’s not a thing! Tonight, they are. Who’s Truth’s partner?
Truth says he’s got a guy. A Louisiana legend! In fact, he just got here, so Truth’s gotta go. Laters. Miz says he has been workshopping this, and the fans love it. Think about it: Melo Don’t Miz! Melo Don’t Miz! And we are…! Melo shakes his head. Truth steps in and says Miz just wants Melo to say, “Awesome.” Miz offers a fist bump, Melo says no. Will Melo wish he had missed tonight’s show? Or will Miz actually help H1M get another win?
Zelina Vega speaks.
“My whole life, people have taken one look at me, and they try to define me. My size has never stopped me before. It never stopped me from becoming tag team champion. Or my personal favorite, the history-making first-time-ever Queen of the Ring. That’s me. Make no mistake about it, I’ve never had it easy. I had to scratch and claw to get anything around here. But this is a fresh start. Because I have something to prove. And my dreams are a lot bigger than your measuring stick. It ain’t over until Zelina Vega says it’s over.”

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Louisiana Knight! Wait, he means L A Knight! Yes, Louisiana abbreviated is LA, but that’s not… Oh, Truth… Truth gives Knight a Po’ Boy and some Mardi Gras beads, so Knight embraces it. The teams sort out, and Truth calls out him!

Winners: The Miz & Carmelo Hayes, by pinfall
Well, what do you know? Nakamura aside, Miz and Melo made it work! Okay, they’re both trying to hog the spotlight, but is there a future for Melo Don’t Miz? Will Knight only have more of a reason to take that title off Nakamura now?
Charlotte Flair speaks.
“The GOAT… doesn’t have to call themselves The GOAT. Now, I have crafted a legacy that no one, I mean no one, can touch. And I’m back.” The Women’s Royal Rumble Winner chose Tiffany Stratton, but will The Queen take back her throne? Or will WWE always be on #TiffyTime? Speaking of…
Tiffany Stratton VS Candice LeRae!
The WWE Women’s Champion may have gotten past Nia Jax, but now she knows Charlotte Flair is waiting for her at WrestleMania, and is going to be teaming with Trish Stratus in Toronto! Will she be in Tiffy Top Shape for that Tiffy Trishy dream match? Or will the Poison Pixie be quite the problem all on her own?
Before the match, Tiff grabs a mic while the fans cheer. Tiffy says, “I know, I know. You know it, you know it, and you know it. Ever since I won this title, everybody’s just been so obsessed with me. And last week, I had Nia Jax beat, until Candice LeRae decided to interfere and help her little meal ticket. And at Elimination Chamber, Trish Stratus and I make sure the Unstoppable Force comes to a definitive end!” The fans cheer that, but Tiff says enough about them. Let’s talk Charlotte Flair. The fans boo that name, but Tiff says Charlotte took her sweet old time, grabbed a chair, grabbed a mic, and she looked down on Tiff.
Charlotte chose Tiff as her WrestleMania opponent. In that moment, Tiff’s dream came true! And as she lied down there and looked up at Charlotte, she realized the rumors are true: No one loves to kick a girl when she’s down quite like Charlotte Flair. So at WrestleMania, Tiff isn’t coming for Charlotte’s legacy; that’s all Charlotte’s. Tiff is coming for the spot Charlotte desires the most: The number one spot as the top girl in the WWE! But here comes Nia & Candice to interrupt. Nia has a mic to tell Tiffy, “I Have to say, this is really cute. Like, it’s really cute that you actually think you were gonna beat me last week.”
Doesn’t Candice think that is cute? Candice says yes, it is so~ cute. And Tiff wouldn’t even be standing there if not for little Trish Stratus~. Exactly! And it’s even cuter that Tiff is out here talking about Charlotte when she wont’ even see WrestleMania! Because after Nia & Candide destroy Tiff at Elimination Chamber, Nia is coming back for her WWE Women’s Championship. Nia & Candice step up to the ring, and Nia says Tiff won’t even see the Grandest Stage of Them All. Tiff tells Nia to just give it up. This title isn’t even hers anymore. And once Tiff beats Candice tonight, Nia won’t have anyone to do her dirty work anymore!
Candice tells Tiffy that while they’re meant have a match right now, she and Nia are feeling impatient. Nia says they should just get rid of Tiff right now! But the ref steps in and says not gonna happen! Tiff VS Candice will, after the break.
SmackDown returns and Candice has Tiffy down with an armlock. Tiff fights up as the fans rally, but Candice wrenches to wristlock. Tiff spins through, goes to ropes, then up the corner to flip and arm-drag! The fans fire up as Tiff rallies on Candice! DROPKICK, and Tiff snarls! Tiff goes to the corner, and Charlotte makes her entrance? The Queen chooses to be fashionably late all so everyone looks at her, including Tiffy. Tiffy handsprings, but Candice dodges! Candice runs up to UPPERCUT, then she snapmares and NECK SNAPPERS! Jackknife bridge, TWO! Candice clamps onto Tiffy with a top wristlock.
The fans “WOO~” as Charlotte now chooses to join commentary. Tiff fights up, has the ROPEBREAK, but Candice CLUBS away on her! Candice backs off, runs up, but Tiff drop toeholds her to ropes! Tiff runs, HIP ATTACKS, and Candice flops back! Cover, TWO! Tiff stays on Candice with a whip, but Candice reverses. Candice CLOBBERS Tiff, covers, TWO! Charlotte corrects Tiffy’s words earlier: Charlotte isn’t the “top girl,” she is THE woman in WWE. Candice HIP DROPS Tiff but the fans rally up. Candice scuffs Tiff, then grinds an arm to drop a knee on the elbow! And another knee drop! Tiff endures and the fans rally up.
Candice keeps on that arm, thrashes it around, but Tiff fights up. Tiff fires body shots, then shoves Candice to Alabama Lift her! Candice sunset flips, Tiff rolls through, TIFFY STOMPS! Cover, TWO! Tiff is frustrated and Candice bails out. Tiff goes to the apron, goes up the corner, and ARIHARA MOONSAULTS! Direct hit on Candice and Nia, and Tiff almost stuck the landing! The fans fire up with Tiff and she goes into the ring. Tiff points to the WrestleMania sign, and then at Charlotte, but SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Tiff waits on Candice, Candice slides in, and Tiff stomps her down! Candice bails out, Nia is there to coach her, but Tiff lets the ring count start. Candice gets on the apron, Tiff kicks her, but Candice RAMS Tiff! Candice CLUBS Tiff, has her in the ropes, and hits a NECKBREAKER HOTSHOT! Candice climbs, aims, and leaps to MISSILE DROPKICK Tiff down! Cover, TWO! Candice is frustrated but this is why Tiff’s a champ. The fans rally, but Candice stomps Tiff! Candice scowls at the fans, stalks Tiff, then brings her up. Tiff fires body shots, then she rolls Candice up! TWO, and Candice CLOBBERS Tiff! Cover, TWO, into a ghost pin! TWO!
Candice escapes to hit a CODE BREAKER! Both women are down, but Candice scowls again as she crawls over to Tiff. Candice rains down fists, Nia tells fans to shut up, and Candice steps on Tiff’s face. Candice huffs ‘n’ puffs, pushes Tiff around, then scuffs her. Tiff rolls Candice up again, TWO! Candice DECKS Tiff! Cover, TWO! Charlotte is stoic on commentary as Candice drags Tiff up and puts her in a corner. Candice fires hands, then backs off. Candice runs up to ROCK Tiff again! Candice then runs, but Tiff dodges! SmackDown returns to single picture, and Tiff rallies with LARIAT after LARIAT! The fans fire up, Tiff handsprings, BACK ELBOW!
Tiff then reels Candice in for a SKY HIGH! High stack, TWO! The fans rally for Tiff, Nia coaches Candice, but Charlotte still seems nonplussed. Tiff and Candice rise, and Candice runs up. Candice puts Tiff on the apron, but Tiff ROCKS her! Tiff bumps Candice off buckles, then goes up, but Candice ROCKS her back! Candice climbs up, and she fires hands on Tiff! Tiff fights the suplex! Tiff DECKS Candice, then adjusts position, to SANTON- FLOP! Candice ghost pins, TWO!! Tiff escapes, but Candice hits the step-up SENTON! And then a LIONSAUL FLOP! Tiff hurries to fireman’s carry, ROLLING SENTON! And then PRETTIEST MOON- NO, Nia drags Candice out of the ring!
The fans boo, Nia tells them to shut up, but Tiff is on the apron! Nia swings, Tiff cartwheels over, and then she DROPKICKS Nia! Tiff Alabama Lifts Candice, to ALABAMA SLAM her into barriers! Tiff stares down Charlotte, tells her just wait for Mania, then she puts Candice in the ring. Tiff goes to the corner, PRETTIEST MOONSAULT EVER!! Cover, Tiff wins!
Winner: Tiffany Stratton, by pinfall
Charlotte gives moderate applause, but Nia CLOBBERS Tiff from behind! The fans boo, but Nia just drags Tiff to a corner. Nia goes up, but wait! Trish is here!! The fans fire up for the legend as she rushes into the ring! Trish avoids a haymaker to CHICK KICK! Then THESZ PRESS for Candice! And then a SPINEBUSTER! Trish helps Tiff to her feet, but Nia grabs them both! Trish fires fast hands on Nia! Candice CHOP BLOCKS Trish! Tiff is still dazed, Nia HEADBUTTS her back down! Nia & Candice mug Trish, and then Nia HEADBUTTS Trish! Trish & Tiff are side by side, and Nia drags them into the drop zone! A-NIA-LATOR!!
The fans boo but there’s nothing can be done! Nia grins as she helps Candice away, will these two trash Trish & Tiff in Toronto? Charlotte steps into the ring, stands over Tiff, and points to the WrestleMania sign. Will The Irresistible Force & Poison Pixie unwittingly do the dirty work of The Queen of Flair?
Cody talks with Damian Priest backstage.
Priest asks why Cody’s boy, The Rock, is here tonight. Cody says given the time of year, his guess is as good as anyone’s. But tonight will surely be eventful. Cody congratulates Priest on entering the Elimination Chamber. Priest says what’s wild is, last year, they both walked out as champions. What sucks is that this year, only one of them can. Now, Priest is man enough and he respects Cody to say that after Chamber, he’s coming for that title. Cody says he wouldn’t have it any other way. Cody heads out, but what business does The Rock have tonight?
Braun Strowman steps in, and he tells Priest that congrats on winning, and good luck in the Chamber. But let’s be honest, Braun had Jacob dead to rights last week. If not for Solo Sikoa, things would look a lot different next week. Priest chuckles and says take it easy, he’s sounding like Drew with the excuses. But it is what it is, Priest just beat Braun to the punch. But that was last week. Tonight, Solo and Jacob, two of the baddest men in the business. Priest & Braun handling business? Oh, they’re handling business. The only business Braun cares about is getting his hands on those two. Priest says Braun definitely will.
Braun heads out, will the Monster of All Monsters and the Archer of Infamy make sure Solo & Jacob #GetTheseHands? Or will the rogues run roughshod all over SmackDown once again?
Backstage interview with Naomi & Bianca Belair.
Byron Saxton is with the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions and brings up last week’s SmackDown, the security footage led us to believe Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez were the ones behind Jade Cargill’s attack. Now, hold on, Saxton. They don’t think, Naomi knows they were. Fair enough. But this Monday, they can get their revenge when they defend the tag titles against Liv & Raquel. How ready are they for this match? Bianca says so ready! They have been waiting for months for an update. Jade has been recovering, she hasn’t been able to call or text, so the GlowEST took matters into their own hands to get revenge.
Bianca & Naomi will handle Liv & Raquel, then move on to Elimination Chamber, where one of them is gonna win to face Rhea at WrestleMania. Not only will you #FeelTheGlowEST on Monday, but Liv feels it tonight! #Let’sGLOW! The champs head out, but will they clear their Road to WrestleMania of any other distractions?
Alexa Bliss speaks.
“When I was away, there was a lot of… change that happened in me. But when I look around, I see this place is still the same. The names and faces may be different, but the desperation and insecurity remains the same. You’ll see Toronto when I turn the Elimination Chamber into something of a playground of my own. I know the Chamber. I love the Chamber. I’ve won the Chamber. And for the other five women, it’s gonna be a Hell like they’ve never experienced before. Need I remind you, this is my division, and I am in charge.” Bliss smiles and says, “See you soon.” The film comes off the reel, but will things get twisted in Toronto?
Naomi w/ Bianca Belair VS Liv Morgan w/ Raquel Rodriguez!
The Big Easy is all about having fun, and they’re fired up for Naomi’s entrance. But wait! Liv & Raquel don’t wait, they attack Bianca & Naomi while the lights are still down! They mug Naomi, but Bianca drags Liv out of the ring! Then Bianca storms in to fire off on Raquel! The fans fire up, but Liv returns to CHOP BLOCK Bianca! Raquel hauls Bianca up for a TEJANA BOMB!! Naomi runs up, fires more hands, but Liv brings Naomi around. Naomi fires hands on her, but Raquel throws her down! Liv runs up, OBLIVION!
Liv & Raquel stand tall, the refs rush out here, but clearly the singles match isn’t happening. Will we be getting something even meaner and nastier between these four on Monday?
The Rock arrives!
His truck pulls into the parking lot, but we’ll see him in the ring, after the break!
SmackDown returns and…
Aldis is chewing out Liv & Raquel for the attack. He doesn’t know what they get away with on Raw, but they can’t pull that crap here. Now get the hell out of his building. Liv & Raquel just laugh that off, but then Chelsea Green & Piper Niven walk in. Chelsea says have no fear, Chelsea & Piper are here to sub in for Bianca and Naomi at Elimination Chamber. Aldis sighs, and says they’re not missing the Chamber. What? But Chelsea had an outfit picked out! This is a travesty to not have the greatest Canadian export since maple syrup on a Canadian PLE! Does he know who she is? The first-ever, longest reigning, tallest, shortest, prettiest, richest, tannest, sparkliest, oldest, youngest Women’s US Champion! Piper asks what this is aboot, eh?
Aldis says this is them testing his patience. They need to pack their gear and whatever else they want, because they’ll be in action next week on SmackDown in Toronto. And oh, it’ll be a good one. Wait, they need more details! At least an e-calendar notification? Aldis is leaving Chelsea in the dark on what’s coming, will she absolutely hate it?
The Rock heads to the ring!
Wait, what is this New Orleans related remix? The Final Boss steps out on stage, he shows those goosebumps, then continues down the ramp, shaking hands with fans. The Rock hits his signature pose on the corner, but then takes the long way around to pick up a fan’s phone for them before going back into the ring. The fans all cheer for “ROCKY! ROCKY!” and he grabs himself a mic. He waits as the fans continue to chant his name, and then he says, “Ahh, you feel it, don’t you? You feel it. The Rock has got chills up and down his body because you know, on a Friday night, for the Final Boss to get inside his bird and fly all the way here, you know that I’m dropping some ish on you tonight!”
The fans fire up and The Rock smiles. Rock says, “Let’s get this show on the road.” The fans anticipate what’s coming but he says hold on, he’ll do it. “FINALLY! The Rock has come back…” “TO NEW ORLEANS~!” Rock smiles, and he adds, FINALLY, WrestleMania is coming back to New Orleans!! The fans are thunderous to hear that! WrestleMania 30, WrestleMania 34, and now WrestleMania 42!? Yes, next year, 2026, LIVE from the Superdome! One of the greatest cities on Earth in New Orleans, Louisiana! The pyro goes off to commemorate the occasion, and the logo is already on the tron! Rock smiles at that, then he smiles at the WrestleMania 41 Vegas logo.
The fans are losing their minds, as we now know April 11th and 12th, 2026, the Big Easy has the Grandest Stage of Them All. Rock says you damn right holy ish! Oh when the saints go marching in…! Oh how I’d love… Wait, no, this ain’t singalong with The Final Boss! Sit there, shut up, and let The Final Boss sing the song! The fans are torn, but Rock says he sings! Oh how I’d love, to be in that number~! Oh when the saints go marching in~! Okay, that’s good enough. You got him, that was a great duet. The Rock is singing with the largest collection of STD’d trailer trash he has ever seen! The fans can’t believe Rock would do that to them!
Rock says now, dropping this news wasn’t the only gift he was going to drop on us. The Final Boss came here to call somebody out. The Rock will call out a man who he respects, who he admires, and who we all admire. That man is our WWE Champion, the one and only, Cody Rhodes. The fans cheer as The American Nightmare makes his entrance! They sing along with the song, “WHOA~ OH~!” and we get Cody’s pyro before he goes to the ring. Cody gets his second “WHOA~ OH~!” and round of pyro, then he steps inside to join The Rock. The fans cheer Cody on, so he holds up the title and the fans cheer even more.
Cody grabs a mic, but Rock says, “That feels good, doesn’t it? I mean, that’s gotta feel amazing, right? They love you, man.” Cody tells NOLA, “I love you, too.” Rock says this is crazy. Pretty much no one knows this, but since after WrestleMania last year, they’ve actually become good friends. No, it’s true, they have. Last time they were together was the Raw Netflix debut. Rock gave Cody his flowers, told Cody he has carried the company like the incredible champion that he is, so thank you, Cody. Rock meant it, and that night, they went to the back, drank tequila for two hours and had a great ol’ time.
They chopped it up, had a blast, but Rock wants to call Cody out here for something important. Here’s the thing… The fans get a bit rowdy as they wait, and Rock says Cody is a great champion. A great WWE Champion. Cody knows that. Again, they’ve become good friends, so over the months, they’ve texted. Even their moms became good friends! Look! Mama Johnson & Mama Rhodes together after WrestleMania 40! It is a pleasure becoming Cody’s friend. But Rock wanted this face to face to tell him a few things. One: Cody has been a great champion, but he needs to understand. Yes, The Rock, The Final Boss, is on the Board of TKO. And TKO owns WWE.
The Rock is the Director of the Board of TKO. Don’t boo that! The Rock’s good friend, Ari Emanuel, who owns everything Endeavor, The Rock joked with Ari, “Can you believe that you own The WWE?” Ari says he doesn’t own the WWE, The Rock does. Rock said no, no, he doesn’t know if he owns the WWE. But The Rock knows he is the most powerful… Cody, you are a great champion. But Rock wants Cody to be something more. Rock wants Cody to be something more than just our champion. Rock wants Cody to be his champion. The fans don’t like where that’s going.
Cody says he did not expect them to become friends, nor their moms to become friends, nor the tequila. Cody didn’t have that on his bingo card. But becoming The Rock’s champion? The Rock of all people should know, Cody is the people’s champion. The fans cheer Cody more, and Rock says yes! Cody is their champion! Of course! The Rock is also The People’s Champion, he loves that about Cody. This is their universe, they were both born into this business. But Rock means something even bigger than just this. Rock knows Cody’s goal is to bring as much joy and happiness to everyone around the world, as many as possible.
The fans cheer, and Rock says that’s Cody. Cody is that guy, and everyone knows it. Cody is on social media, Instagram, millions of followers. Millions, and millions! The Rock has half a BILLION. That’s not a flex. But The Rock is the most followed American man in the world, that’s what he wants for Cody. Rock wants Cody to be even higher. If Cody becomes The Rock’s Champion, he will open doors to possibilities Cody never even imagined. If Cody becomes The Rock’s Champion, every dream he has ever had can come true. Every dream of Brandi’s, of their daughter’s. Think about how Rock brought them to the premiere of Moana 2, in Hawaii.
Thank you, by the way, for making that cross a BILLION dollars, fans, Rock loves you. Rock has met the Rhodes family, they’re amazing. But imagine it: Cody’s daughter’s children, their dreams, long after Rock and Cody are gone, all those dreams can come true. Rock just needs Cody to be his champion. The fans say don’t do it! Rock tells Cody to just think about it, though. Rock is a very lucky man, he has it all. Cody also has it all. They’re very fortunate. They’re Mama’s Boys, they’re Girl Dads, they’re lucky men. Fans say don’t do it, Rock tells them to shut up or he’ll slap the syphilis off their face! Rock is trying to have a moment here, shut your mouths!
The one thing that Rock has never had, that he wants more than anything, is a brother. And that is what Cody can be. Last year, WrestleMania, Rock’s goal was to face his cousin, Roman Reigns, for the title. Cody knows, the fans know. Rock talked with his friend, HHH. He talked with Nick Khan, who is his friend. They are also Cody’s friends. Rock knew it wasn’t in the plans, but they talked about moving Cody aside to make what was best for business: Rock VS Roman, WrestleMania 40! What’d Cody do? Cody pitched a b*tch fit! Cody told The Rock he ain’t doing it, and he stood up to The Rock. And y’know what else? Cody SLAPPED Rock!
No one does that and gets away with it. But that is why Cody is special. That is why Cody should be Rock’s Champion. And that is why Rock will take Cody from where he is to a level so far above. Rock will make sure every dream, every desire, for generations to come, it all comes true. Rock’s dad, Cody’s dad, Soul Man & American Dream, they are looking down right now. They were friends, Cody and Rock are friends, Cody should be Rock’s Champion. He doesn’t need to answer Rock tonight. He can think about it, talk with his wife and daughter, as will The Rock. Then Cody can think about it. Meet Rock in Toronto on March 1st to give him the answer.
Fans still say don’t do it, but Rock says it is okay. Before he leaves, this has been an amazing night, this is a hot crowd, thank you all very much. But before he leaves, Rock wants us to know this: The one thing Rock wants more than anything in this world… is that. Wait, the title? Cody’s title? The fans’ title? This is all this is about? No no no no! Brother… Rock doesn’t want the title. He wants Cody’s soul. The fans duel, “NO! NO! NO!” “SELL YOUR SOUL!” Rock pats Cody on the cheek and says see you in Toronto. The Rock leaves, giving Cody a lot to think about. Rock does give one last glance back at Cody, then smirks.
What will The American Nightmare choose: His integrity? Or his aspirations?
WWE Tag Team Championships: #DIY VS Pretty Deadly!
Did Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano got these titles thanks to Kit Wilson & Elton Prince? #YESBOY! Did they survive a couple title defenses thanks to Kit & Elton? #YESBOY! But when Pretty Deadly needed DIY, was DIY there for them? #NOBOY! So now, Kit & Elton are looking to give Ciampa & Gargano their comeuppance! Will we finally get another #SidePlateCheck? Or will Ciampa & Gargano remember for themselves, that if you wanna be champions, you gotta do it yourself?
But as DIY make their entrance, they have mics, and Johnny Wrestling tells NOLA, “Give it up one time for your TWO-TIME WWE Tag Team Champions…! The BTTITW (Best Tag Team In The World), D I Y~!” The fans boo instead. Ciampa says there is no denying that tonight has been electrifying. Gargano says this is a hot crowd. But please, if we could be somber for a second. Guys, this is serious. Two weeks ago, Pretty Deadly embarrassed DIY, and now reluctantly, DIY will return that favor by crushing their hopes and dreams of ever becoming WWE Tag Team Champions. So please, let us all rise to our feet… Yes, you in the LSU jersey, stand up.
Ciampa thanks Wade Barrett, and asks for everyone to remove their hands and bow their heads for a moment of silence for Pretty Deadly, beginning… now. The fans boo instead! And then Pretty Deadly make their entrance! The introductions are made, the belts are raised, and we see who really needed who in this broken relationship!
But then DIY jumps Pretty Deadly! The ref reprimands, DIY whip but Pretty Deadly reverses! DOUBLE DORPKICKS! Then DOUBLE LARIATS send DIY up and out! The disco ball hasn’t even stopped spinning! The fans cheer while DIY throw a fit! They regroup, cool down, and go back to the ring. Gargano distracts Elton, Ciampa CLOBBERS him, and the bell rings. But Elton fires hands on Ciampa! Elton whips, Ciampa reverses and he pulls hair! The ref reprimands, Ciampa throws Elton to the apron and KNEES him down! Tag to Gargano and he aims, SUPERKICK! Elton goes down in a heap, DIY cheers themselves on, and SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns, Gargano tags in, and DIY hits the BACK SUPLEX BOMBO COMBO! Cover, TWO! Elton stays in this but Gargano tags Ciampa back in. Gargano sends Ciampa in, but Elton ELBOWS him away! Gargano runs in, but Elton puts him on the apron! Gargano goes after Kit, but Kit blocks the kick! Kit BOOTS Gargano down, but then Ciampa BOOTS Kit! Elton dodges Ciampa to come back, DOUBLE CROSSBODIES collide! Elton and Ciampa are down, sputtering and writhing, and the fans rally up. Elton crawls, Kit rises, hot tags to Kit and Gargano! Kit rallies on DIY with big forearms! Kit whips, Gargano reverses, Kit UPPERCUTS!
Kit UPPERCUTS Ciampa in a corner, then LARIATS! Kit runs to LARIAT Gargano! Kit pushes Gargano down, kicks him and hits a TWIST- NO, Gargano slips through to ROCK Kit! Kit yoyos, DOUBLE LARIATS! The fans fire up, Kit tags Elton! They get Gargano up, but Gargano BOOTS Elton! Gargano ELBOWS Kit away, then runs up on Elton! Elton dodges, then gives Kit the boost, DRY MARTI-KNEES! Cover, TWO!! Gargano survives but Ciampa is in! Elton fireman’s carries Ciampa, but Ciampa slips free! Ciampa whips, Elton reverses, Kit UPPERCUTS Ciampa! Elton shows off his strength with the GOTCH LIFT PLEX!
Tag to Kit, but IN COME THE PROFITS! Ford SHOVES Kit down, Dawkins mugs him!!
Winners: Pretty Deadly, by disqualification; DIY retain the titles
Not again! Just like they did Motor City Machine Guns, The Profits make sure no one else takes these titles off DIY! URENAGE from Ford to Elton! Dawkins keeps hammering away on Kit, and then Ford POSTS Elton! Dawkins fireman’s carries Kit, to POST him, too! Looking like the All Mighty with that one! Gargano fires forearms in return, but ends up int he POUNCE GERMAN SUPLEX! Then Ciampa runs up into a FLAPJACK! Ford goes up top, then flies in FROM THE HEAVENS!! Direct hit on Ciampa! But wait! MCMG rushes out here, wanting their payback! The Profits brawl with MCMG, but Ford TOSSES Shelley to the apron!
Ford runs up, Shelley goes to kick, but Ford blocks it! Ford LARIATS Shelley down, Dawkins hits Sabin with THE BIG ENDING! The fans are torn as Dawkins whips Sabin, Profits get him for the REVELATION!! And if there’s been any revelation, it is that Ford & Dawkins don’t just want the smoke, they want to burn down the tag division to get it! Will nothing stop them once they’re back in action?
Kevin Owens speaks.
“You got what you wanted, huh? You got your match. You couldn’t, uh… You couldn’t just take the punishment that you deserved, that I’d already given you, and let it go. No, you… You wanted me and you to go again. You wanted to fight me, you want to hurt me, you want to end my career, which would hurt my family, by the way. Which is truly despicable. But what about your family, Sami? Huh? Have you thought of them? What about your family, huh?” Kevin reveals he is right outside the Zayn home! Kevin peers inside to watch Sami, his wife, and his son!
Kevin asks Sami via the video if Sami knows what he’s about to put them through, when they have to watch Kevin end Sami’s career. And what happens then, eh? When Sami can’t provide for them, and everything they have, like this nice house, the shelter, the security, the peace they have, when it’s all gone? And why? What for? Because Sami’s too proud? Because Sami’s selfish? Sami IS selfish. Because Sami is making Kevin do this to Sami’s family. Kevin will never forgive Sami for that. He’ll see Sami in Toronto. “But remember… You asked for this. It’s all your fault.” As if Kevin’s delusions aren’t already grand, will he continue to blame everyone else but himself?
Damian Priest & Braun Strowman VS Solo Sikoa & Jacob Fatu w/ Tama Tonga!
Elimination Chamber is on the horizon, and the Road to WrestleMania makes for strange bedfellows. Priest, Braun and Jacob were fighting each other just last week, but Solo’s return really threw things for a loop. Can Priest & Braun give Solo and the Samoan Werewolf their punishment? Or will everything (not) be fine in Solo’s Bloodline?
SmackDown returns as #OneBigSOB makes his entrance. As Solo, Jacob & Tama head to gorilla, we hear from Solo. “Tonight, we handle business. And it starts with Braun Strowman & Damian-” Jacob interrupts with, “Man, c’mon, DP! C’mon, Braun! I thought we did this! So tonight, we about to even up the score. If you ain’t know, I’m all gas, no brakes with it! See, since we touched the scene, we been dropping bodies like bread crumbs! Yadada mean!? FA-TUUU~! Hit my music!” The rogues enter to Jacob’s theme, is this alone proof he’s the new alpha? Or will the match be the last nail in that coffin?
The teams sort out, but Jacob stares down both Priest and Braun. NOLA seems to acknowledge Jacob, but Solo convinces him to stand down. Solo starts against Priest, the bell rings, and the two tie up. They go around, Priest powers Solo back, but Solo powers Priest back. They break, stare down, and Solo talks some trash. Solo shoves Priest, Priest shoves back. They circle again, tie up, and Priest puts Solo in a corner. The ref counts, Priest lets off at 4, but Solo stomps Priest’s foot! Solo throws hands, then a HEADBUTT! Priest staggers, but then he ROCKS Solo! And ROCKS him! And HEADBUTTS! That was a mistake!
Solo shakes his head to HEADBUTT Priest! Priest goes to a corner, Solo throws haymakers and body shots on repeat! The ref counts, Solo lets off and says see? Solo and Jacob as one! But Priest THROWS Solo to the corner to fire off haymakers of his own! Priest ROCKS Solo, the fans fire up, and Priest whips., Solo reverses to UPPERCUT! Solo talks smack but Priest ROCKS him again! Tag to Braun and the fans fire up! Braun stares Jacob down, tells him to shove it, then runs up to SPLASH Solo! Braun stares Jacob down again, goes back for Solo, and hits another LARIAT! Braun scoops, Solo slips free, but Braun runs up!
Solo ELBOWS Braun away, tags to Jacob, and Jacob runs in, but Braun dodges! Braun CROSSBODIES! Jacob is right up, but Braun BOOTS him right back down! Solo runs in but Braun TOSSES him! Priest hurries after Solo, Braun CLOBBERS Jacob! LEAPING LARIAT for Solo! Braun then gets on the track, STROWMAN EXPRESS SMACKS a chair out of Tama’s hand! The Good Bad Guy thought he was being sneaky! But then Jacob CROSSBODIES Braun into the timekeeper’s aera! The fans go wild as Jacob rises up, and SmackDown goes picture in picture.
Jacob hauls Braun up, drags him around the way, HEADBUTTS him, then brings him over to SMACK off the desk! Braun staggers, but he ROCKS Jacob in return! And THROWS Jacob into steel steps! Braun drags Jacob up, puts him in the ring, but Jacob SUPERKICKS Braun! Braun falls into the corner, Jacob HIP ATTACKS! Jacob’s all geeked up, then he tags in Solo. Solo soaks up some heat while Jacob HIP ATTACKS Braun again! Solo puts Braun on ropes to CHOKE him! The ref counts, Solo stops at 4, but Jacob gets a HEADBUTT in! Braun flounders, Solo taunts him and eggs him on, but Braun CHOPS him!
Solo HEADBUTTS Braun right down! Solo rains down fists, then lets off so he can put Braun on the ropes. Solo CHOKES Braun again, stops as the ref counts 4, and Jacob gets another cheap shot in! Solo tags Jacob in, then he HEADBUTTS Braun again and again! Jacob runs to BODY CHECK Braun! Jacob fires up, Braun flounders to ropes, but Jacob rains down fists! Tag to Solo, he soaks up heat from NOLA, then he stomps away on Braun! The ref counts, Solo lets off, then he keeps Braun from Priest by anchoring a leg. Tag to Jacob and Jacob climbs up, FROG SPLASH! Jacob roars while Braun writhes!
Jacob looms over Braun but he glares at Priest. Priest gets heated, but Jacob fires hands on Braun as SmackDown returns to single picture. Braun stands, but Jacob HEADBUTTS him again! Jacob runs for another BODY CHECK! And then a SENTON! Cover, TWO! Braun stays in this and he goes to a corner. Jacob snarls, tags Solo in, and the fans boo. Solo runs corner to corner to HIP ATTACK Braun! Solo grins as he copies Jacob’s geeking out. Tag back to Jacob and fans cheer! Jacob aims, runs, and HIP ATTACKS! Jacob keeps going, but Braun BOOTS from below!! The fans fire up while both men stagger to their feet.
Braun SPINEBUSTERS Jacob! Both monsters are down, the fans rally up, and they crawl, hot tags to Solo and Priest! Priest fires hands on Solo, then whips. Solo reverses but Priest SHOUDLER TACKLES Solo! Priest runs to BACK ELBOW! Jacob is back, but Priest dodges to WHEEL KICK! Priest then waits on Solo, but Solo catches Priest! Priest elbows free, but Solo SUPERKICKS! But Priest JUMPING ROUNDHOUSES! Solo comes back, Priest ROCKS him first! Solo swings, but into the FLATLINER! Cover, TWO! Solo survives but Priest puts him in a corner. Priest whips corner to corner, then runs, only for Solo to put him on th eapron!
Solo takes as swing, Priest dodges and ROUNDHOUSES! Priest then knuckle locks with Solo, goes up top, and he tightrope walks for some OLD SCHOOL! The fans fire up and Priest powers up the arm! Priest runs, but Solo ducks the Comebacker! Priest fights the fireman’s carry to BELL CLAP, ROUNDHOUSE, and then he reels Solo in! But Tama is on the apron! Priest DECKS Tama, but Jacob HOTSHOTS Priest! Solo hits the URENAGE! Cover, TWO!! Priest survives and Solo is stunned! Solo snarls, looks to his taped-up thumb, then he drags Priest up. The fans boo but Solo taunts the fans now. SAMOAN- NO! Priest grabs Solo!
But Jacob runs in! Priest ROCKS Jacob, ELBOWS Solo, then he dodges, so Jacob’s SUPERKICK hits Solo! An accident just like last week’s shot to Tama, but Jacob doesn’t seem as upset by it. Priest TOSSES Jacob, then CLOBBERS Solo! STROWMAN EXPRESS CLOBBERS Jacob & Tama!! Priest brings down the straps, the fans are thunderous, and Priest grabs Solo by the neck! SOUTH OF HEAVEN!! Cover, Priest & Braun win!
Winners: Damian Priest & Braun Strowman, by pinfall
Just as Solo thought it’d be like before, he and Jacob were not on the same page! Priest is rolling towards Elimination Chamber, will this be just what he needs to go back to WrestleMania?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown here, but with some interesting moves after the sudden change in plans with The Rock showing up. Naomi and Bianca had a good promo to hype up what was meant to be a full match of Naomi VS Liv, but word had already come out before the show that things were being cut for time. But at the very least, they did the right thing of making it a brawl that adds heat to the tag title match on Monday. Also, hilarious how Chelsea & Piper thought the beatdown on Bianca & Naomi was so bad that they would need to be pulled from the Chamber. I also can’t wait to see what happens on Toronto SmackDown.
As for The Rock, I do appreciate he used his authority to kayfabe change more things, all so he could have his promo with Cody. I also appreciate Rock blending his different roles and even different sides, both Heel and Face, to A) bring the news of WM42 being in NOLA, and B) recreate the Corporate Champion/People’s Champion story from the Attitude Era. That was some wild stuff he was saying to Cody. I’m sure quite a few people will try and talk with Cody next week in the go-home. Heels will say do it because they’d love to have what Rock can give, Faces will say not because Cody’s better than that. But naturally, Cody is not going to become The Rock’s Champion, causing Rock to turn on him and really up things going into WrestleMania 41 and perhaps even beyond.
Good stuff in the Elimination Chamber related stories. Jimmy VS McIntyre was great stuff to open, and how fitting that McIntyre loses to Jimmy after talking all that trash about Jimmy and Jey being the same. Jey got McIntyre with something quick, Jimmy got McIntyre with something quick, McIntyre’s ego is obviously his weakness. And at the same time, McIntyre of course destroys Jimmy after because that’s his other personality trait. Priest had good promos with Cody and Braun, and we got great stuff from Solo’s Bloodline. Naturally, we got a miscommunication spot to help finish, we’re really close to Solo VS Jacob, I can feel it. Priest & Braun get the win, mostly because Priest isn’t winning in the Chamber when you’ve got Punk and Cena in there.
Very good stuff with Tiffy Time, from the promos leading into the match to Charlotte being ringside just to watch. Nia & Candice of course get the better of Tiff & Trish, because Tiff & Trish are definitely winning the tag match in Toronto. Charlotte just seems to enjoy trolling Tiff with her presence, so Charlotte probably shows up in Toronto to then confront Tiff after the match. I expect the seven weeks after Elimination Chamber to really heat up, as will Charlotte’s involvement, where she’ll get more active verbally and physically. Also, hell, Rock should go full Corporation and have Charlotte be his Corporate Women’s Champion because of how established she is.
Hilarious stuff from Truth tonight, as always. Truth and Melo having their “who’s on first” again was good stuff, and of course Miz gets in on this story, too. Truth & Knight VS “Melo Don’t Miz” was really fun, but yeah, should’ve figured Nakamura would get involved, too. Melo & Miz making it work could also be really fun, and while Knight VS Nakamura is a rehash, I really hope they find a way to up things. It feels like we’re getting the same with the tag titles as Profits “ruined” that great tag match from DIY and Pretty Deadly, then brawled with MCMG to still come out on top. Last year had a ladder tag title match, so why not do one for these titles this year?
Speaking of escalating, Kevin filming a promo outside Sami’s house was some really well done stuff, as expected of someone as good as Kevin and in such a story as him and Sami. Their match should main event, it needs time to breathe, as it could be just as, if not more violent, than the Chamber matches. What a powerful closing moment we could have if it’s a bloody Kevin and Sami, and one of them is standing over the other, triumphant yet mournful because it was their best friend in the world that they just brutalized.
My Score: 8.9/10

Andrew’s TNA LIVE! iMPACT! Results & Match Ratings: 2.20.2025
So the first live episode got fairly positive praise from everyone; will this continue the trend?
Filming at Full Sail seems to have set the stage nicely this week! Going into a Live episode we got Moose and The Hardy Boyz on NXT, as well as Jordynne Grace’s involvement with Steph and Giulia giving a little shine to TNA happenings since she’s newly WWE.
This episode should be interesting, we finally see Lei Ying Lee (fka Xia Li) back in action, Rascalz take on Tyson and Tyriek, Tessa should be seeing some action as well…so generally interesting happenings for the second Live iMPACT! of 2025. Let’s see how this one goes down!
No matter where @ManceWarner and @stephdelander go, @TheSamiCallihan WILL FIND THEM!

Results:
Oh yeah, and another Hendry concert is…cut off by a commercial, LOLTNA. First Hendry is cut off by AXSTV’s new Anime Hour bumper, and now Primo and Epico are showing up in TNA. I definitely didn’t have this on my BINGO card. The crowd starts chanting “Where’s Carlito”, which they do acknowledge and play off of well. Oh they’re using their shoot names of Orlando and Eddie now…but before they attack the lights go out and we get another guitar strum! ELIAH/ELIAS/EZEKIEL/EBENERZER/EMERY/EL VAGABUNDO – shows up to back up Hendry. Okay I can apologize away the redundant concert since it played into an Elijah debut. The crowd is immediately popping and chanting “This is Awesome” 10 minutes into the show.
Tyson & Tyriek w/Wes Lee vs The Rascalz w/Ace Austin
Treehouse bros take it to the bigger men quickly, a few fast dives, a little MCMG style tandem strikes, Tyson fires and tries to take them out but they Low Bridge him. Tyriek comes in and they try similar things but Tyriek manhandles them both and throws them out of the ring, Trey is the first one back up and Tyriek and Tyson take his damn head off with his Corkscrew Running Euro Upper. Trey finally manages to flip out of the manhandle, tags in Wentz and Wentz goes for the hot and spicy cleaning house spot. Corner to Corner Knee Lifts for both big men, a Rolling Snapmare, into a Superkick for Tyson and Standing Shoot Star on Tyriek but only for two because Wes feints like he’s going to interfere.
Tyson and Tyriek pull off a tandem Assisted Backdrop Driver, but Wentz breaks it up, Tyson gets knocked out, Wentz hits the Tornillo, Wes tries to interfere again after Trey gets perched on the corner buckle but Ace runs around and trips Wes at the last second causing him to faceplant on the apron, Trey hits the Meteora, Wentz hits a Swanton from the other side of the ring and Trey gets the pinfall victory.
It was fast paced, all gas no brakes, but it didn’t overstay its welcome, so it was pretty fun all things considered.
After the match Wes grabs a mic, complains a little but challenges them to a 6 man match as Sacrifice. So we’re THAT’S where we’re getting the expected 3v3.
Fir$t Cla$$ comes out with an entourage of hot chicks and probably influencers or something. The “First Class Penthouse” , Gabby AF, Mafiosa Valentina, and Carolina are apparently known in their own way. Gabby I know was the awful one who did something for Impact a last year and sucked, but she’s part of the Busted Open Network I believe so that’s why she’s around. Two of them look like Noelle Foley and Frank the Clown…oh they actually are. Look at that. I do love KC Navarro as the Hype Man, they have this whole set up of AJ being mad that they haven’t gotten more Tag Title shots, so TNA placated him with his own Piper’s Pit and he’s *pregnant pause* totally happy with that. He says he loved Piper and hated Hogan before it was cool.
This is actually quality content and AJ is cutting a nice promo in this segment. They introduce their first guest, the greatest performer in TNA history, many whole say he’s Phenomenal with a whole lot of style….it’s A-J-Francis.
.@AJFrancis410 is GOING OFF!

Lei Ying Lee vs Rosemary
Things were slow until Rosemary took her into a corner quickly, hit the Upside Down, and we get a lot of Lei trying to avoid Rosemary’s offense. Rosemary goes for a Spear in the corner and Lei forward rolls, starts connecting with a bunch of right hands, backs Rosemary into the corner, goes for 10 Count Punches, pulls her out, Airplane Spin TKO for only a two count. Rosemary tries As Above So Below, Lei shrugs it off, Rosemary tries to go after Lei anyway and eats Thunderstruck! Lei Ying Lee wins!
After the match Rosemary catches Lei on the ramp and hits the Green mist in the eyes. Match was far too short and so many of Lei’s set up moves look better than her finish. We’ve seen Kofi Kingston do it for years so it’s not bad, just the current Knockouts Division are awful and don’t take the move well.
Eric Young and the jabronis come out, EY cuts a very basic power crazed psycho kind of promo, gets the “What” chants from the crowds. EY is trying to recruit Maclin even though Maclin made his line in the sand last week. EY tries to spin it as maybe he took out Josh FOR Maclin instead of in spite of his trust. This really doesn’t seem interesting at all, but that’s probably because I hate the two Jabronis EY is with.
NoDQ Match: Leon Slater vs JDC
I really don’t have any interest in Slater. He’s got no personality beyond “flippy guy with a British accent”.
Dango immediately powders, grabs a chair and goes to swing on him but misses. So Leon is making JDC look dumb by dodging the post chop, using the chair to shield himself from a punch by JDC, and then clapping Dango’s fingers between the chair. So typical System match, look inept for the first few minutes, then take advantage of something to take over. Oh look, Leon takes too long setting up the table, Dango gets in a few pot shots, tries to whip him into the table but Leon leaps over it, and then leaps back over to clobber Dango. Dango is still trying to recover so Leon hits his over the corner post con hilo, and the crowd appreciates it but I’m not interested. Leon panders to the crowd after the big spot and then eats an X-Plex into the chair from Dango.
JDC throws Leon back in, goes for a pinfall that’s only a two and we cut to a commercial. Coming out of the commercial JDC is in control with a Kendo Stick until he isn’t, Leon counters and takes the keno stick, brutalizes Dango a few times then comes off the ropes with the kendo shot for 2. Leon goes for another table, and again, at least the crowd is receptive to this match. Leon sets it up, looks for something off the apron but Dango stops him first until he eats a dropkick to fall onto the table, Leon hits the Swanton 450 through the table on the outside. Does it look cool? Sure. Do I care about dumbass moves? Nope.
Oh thankfully the rest of The System comes out to stop the pinfall, Shield Bomb Leon through the first table, and roll him back in for Dango to win.
The Hardy Boyz come out to try and make the save, but the numbers are against them, so Oba Femi’s music hits! Oba cleans house but doesn’t get his hands on Moose, so they’re at least building the eventual clash between Moose and Oba.
The crowd starts a “Tessa, we comin for you” chant before she even starts talking. Tessa is actually playing off the crowd well, Santino’s music hits and Tessa thinks he’ll help her out with the crowd and Santino calls bullshit basically. Santino says if Tessa doesn’t wrestle next week, she’s fired and Masha’s music hits. Masha decides to step in for Tessa’s enhancement talent match.
Masha Slamovich vs Mila Moore
Jobber tries to attack Masha early but Masha stops her, rocks her and Requiem ends the match.
Masha stares down Tessa, and then Cora Jade attacks from behind and hits Jaded.
Ryan Nemeth comes out to his Abyss music remix. What will Mokuba say today? “MYYYY BIIIGG BBRROOOOTTHHHEEEEER” he repeats at least 4 times and it’s hilariously cringe. He announces that Nic will return at Sacrifice, he literally just came out to give a PSA.
Elijah & Joe Hendry vs The Colons
Hendry starts with Eddie, after a brief tie up it seems like Hendry reads the room and points at Elijah and the crowd wants him in. So Joe tags in Elijah, a little back and forth, Shoulder Tackle from Elijah, Rope Walk with Elijah lays out Eddie and a tag to Joe allows for a quick tandem knockdown, but Eddie powders as the Walking and Talking Duo hold the ring going into the final commercial break.
We come back and Hendry is bouncing Orlando off the ropes as he return a strike, but Orlando is obviously losing, eats a Euro Upper, and then gets walked around in the Stalling Suplex for posterity. Eddie tries a sneak attack but gets caught and Sack of Shit, into Kip Up, turn and then Orlando with the ambush! A few quick short cuts and an Irish Whip/Dropkick combo gives the Colons a near fall. Hendry does get locomotion variation cradles, but eats a Dropkick to stop the attempt at momentum. Orlando stays on Joe, but Joe finally starts to fire up as the crowd starts to get behind him. Euro Uppers make some space, but a Snapmare says no.
Eddie gets tagged in and a quick Leg Sweep into a Front Chancery keeps Eddie in control. As Joe tries to get back up, Eddie turns it into a Guillotine, but finally the Suplex counter connects for Hendry! Simultaneous tags! Elijah bulls over Orlando, catches a Leap Frogging Orlando with the Manhattan Drop as Orlando retreats to a corner, Stinger Splash into Spinebuster for two. Elijah tries to keep up the attacks but Orlando finds a few ways to make space, launches himself from the middle rope and eats the Jumping Knee! Eddie breaks up the pinfall, Hendry takes Eddie out and Elijah hits the Tombstone Piledriver for the win!
Overall Score: 6/10
Well there were more live hiccups than the first episode, and this felt both more epic and less epic at the same time. Elijah and the Colons debuting was a nice way to kick things off, Oba Femi showing up for the save was fantastic. There were a few decent matches, but also a lot of really short and rushed matches. Tessa played off the crowd well, but Masha really is useless on the mic. Lei Ying Lee needs to framed stronger, her matches have done nothing to show off her ability. It just proves that the Knockouts don’t know how to sell a kick to the head because they all take it in the shoulder and fall in corny ways.
Viva La Sam could be something fun if the next 3 weeks are just hand cam footage of him being like “I’m Sami Callihan and I’m gonna kick Mance Warner’s ass”, Elegance Clique getting the rematch with a stipulation is nice to see and while I like Fir$t Cla$$, that segment went a little long for a cornball swerve payoff. It’s one thing to placate the Influencer squad especially when we’ve seen Logan Paul and Ishowspeed do so well in WWE…but these are like Z Tier Influencers that no one cares about. These kind of dorks stream on Kick because they aren’t relevant enough for Twitch, not because they chose Kick over it.
So yeah, the low lights were pretty low, and the highs were a little fleeting, but at least they were pretty fun. Not a bad show, just clunky with noticeable issues and Masha shouldn’t be allowed to speak English anymore. She’s such a charisma vacuum when she’s not rambling in Russian.
