PLAY BY PLAY

Logan Paul is here!

Anaheim is about to get #ImPAULsive as the social media mogul heads to the ring. Logan had Roman Reigns on the ImPAULsive podcast and dared to say he could take The Tribal Chief in a match. And through social media, Roman retorted back, “I bless the world and bring the Island of Relevancy to your show. You and your boys acknowledge me and as soon as I’m gone, you run your mouth?! Wiseman, handle him.” And Paul Heyman replied, “My #TribalChief, please consider this HANDLED!” Logan has the mic in the present to say, “Well, well, well, well. Ladies and gentlemen, I think I did it again. Whoops.”

Logan says he has a habit of opening his mouth and saying some stupid stuff. This past week, he had someone they might know. He goes by the name “Roman Reigns.” The Tribal Chief left, Logan said if he wrestled Roman, it’d be his match. “What?” “I’ll tell you what!” “What?” “I’ll tell you what! I once opened my mouth about the great Floyd Mayweather, and not even him, the greatest boxer of all time, could put me down. Or pay me. We’re still working on it.” So Logan simply issued a challenge to Roman, and guess what? Logan’s taken the liberty of setting up a press conference in Las Vegas. If Roman’s man enough, he’ll meet Logan there face-to-face.

“Ladies and gentlemen…!” Fans fire up because look who’s back! And with the Bloodline’s Usos, Solo Sikoa, and even Honorary Uce, Sami Zayn, with him! “Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Paul Heyman. And I swerve as the Special Counsel, and the Wiseman, to YOUR Tribal Chief, the reigning! Defending! Undisputed! Universal Heavyweight Champion… Roman. Reigns.” Heyman tells the rest that he’s got this, but the Usos, Solo and Sami still flank the ring. Fans rally for Heyman as he steps into the ring with Logan. Heyman shakes Logan’s hand to complete the formal introductions, and then Heyman says he’ll “handle” Logan.

“There he is! Logan Paul.” Fans boo and Heyman’s gotta say, if there was ever anyone from outside of the WWE who could’ve been a Paul Heyman Guy, it’s Logan Paul. “This man, this athlete, this global sensation, stepped up and fought the greatest boxer of all time, Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather. And never went down! Not once! Held your own! Went the distance like Rocky. Now, then again, fighting Floyd Mayweather at 6’2″ when Floyd Mayweather at standing up comes to me, headbutting me in the testicles, it’s alright. I wouldn’t fight Floyd Mayweather.” Logan says of course not, it’s Floyd Mayweather. Heyman probably wouldn’t fight anyone, where’s he going with this?

Heyman says he knows we’re in Anaheim, but don’t be Mickey Mouse, Logan. Don’t “Ooo~” me. Logan’s brother, Jake, picks a fight with the greatest MMA striker in Anderson Silva, who’s gonna knock Jake out, no disrespect. Fans cheer that one! Heyman says he wouldn’t fight Jake, he wouldn’t fight Logan, and Logan shouldn’t open his mouth about the Tribal Chief, Roman Reigns. Heyman doesn’t care about ambitions or athletic backgrounds or that the Paul Brothers have changed the fight game. All Heyman cares about is right now, right here, in this moment, Logan makes the smart decision of picking a fight with someone else.

Logan says c’mon! Heyman’s a promoter, he should get how this works! And Logan knows Heyman knows how great this could be. And it’ll just be a press conference! What’re they so afraid of? Logan sees a lot of Samoans, a Sami Zayn and a Paul Heyman, but he can’t understand why they’re afraid. Are they afraid that at the press conference, Logan would challenge Roman? And that said challenge would be for the title? Assuming that, you then assume Roman would smash Logan. And you’re probably right. “But what if he doesn’t? What if I land that one lucky shot on Roman Reigns? Cuz that’s all it takes: One lucky shot, and I drop your Tribal Chief like a sack of potatoes!

“And what if I beat Roman Reigns for the Undisputed Universal Championship?” Fans boo that and Sami keeps the Usos calm. Heyman says “If” Jake’s brother had balls, he’d be Logan’s sister, but he doesn’t, so he’s not. Heyman doesn’t like “If” or the scenario, and quite bluntly, he doesn’t like Logan, either. Logan says Heyman’s a funny guy. Heyman steps closer to say, “Now, I have to handle you. SOLO!” The NEW North American Champion steps up into the ring! Logan says y’know what? Let’s make a bet. Logan bets he can knock Heyman out and be out of the ring before Solo gets to him. Take the bet!

Sami says take it easy! Solo, it’s alright. Fans cheer Sami as he gets in the ring. Sami says he’s got this, Uce. You’re good. Solo steps down and Sami tells Heyman that he knows the Honorary Uce has nothing but respect. But maybe Heyman’s just not the right man for this job. Maybe Roman Reigns should’ve let Sami handle Logan. Heyman tosses his mic and leaves. Fine! Handle it! Okay, a little diplomacy goes a long way! And Logan! Friend! Logan, you’re not from this world so Sami will explain something to him. Logan DECKS Sami! How do things work around here, Sami? Logan would like to know. The Usos & Solo rush in but Logan gets away!

And here comes Ricochet! The One & Only isn’t here to help Logan but he still shakes his hand. Ricochet’s got business with the Honorary Uce, will he take advantage of Logan’s haymaker?

Karrion Kross & Scarlett Bordeaux speak.

“The hands of time decide the judgement. And last week, for The Chosen One, Mr. McIntyre, he was publicly executed by the newly appointed People’s Executioner. And how rightfully so. It is appropriate considering he made those pitiful noises with my arm wrapped around his neck.” Scarlett adds, “Aw, poor baby.” The two laugh, and Kross says, “What did you do then, Mr. McIntyre? I mean, you fought back, but then you did what everybody always does: you let it go. And that is the biggest difference between you and I, and it always will be. Because I don’t let anything go. I change the timelines. I rewrite history.

“And as for you, you are going to remain on an endless loop of suffering that I control. And I’m going to make sure,  Mr. McIntyre, that you never get out. Tick-tock.” Will Mr. Doomsday make McIntyre relive his worst moments? Or will the Scottish Warrior smash Kross’ hourglass to pieces?

 

Please welcome Max and Maxxine Dupri.

The founders of Maximum Male Models stand in the ring and Max welcomes us back to SmackDown in Anaheim. “Only a stone’s flow away from LA.” Maxxine tells him not to focus on that. Right, they’re not here for Hollywood. They’re here to introduce the MMM Back to School collection.

Braun staggers and Otis scoops for the WORLD’S STRONGEST SLAM!! Braun sits up!?! Otis is leaving, thinking he’s conquered the Monster, but Braun just glares at him! Braun says Otis has hell to pay now! Gable tells Otis to stand down before this really gets wild. Will the Alpha Academy be able to plan a strategy to take down a furious Monster Among Men?

Dakota says that means they can go to any brand, any time, and do anything they want! Iyo says SmackDown is now THEIR show! Bayley says that’s right! They destroyed Raquel and put poor little Aliyah on the shelf. This is what greatness looks right, alright?

Kayla Braxton has a sit-down interview with Ronda Rousey.

The Baddest Woman on the Planet is the #1 contender to the SmackDown Women’s Championship, getting a rematch with Liv Morgan at Extreme Rules on October 8th. Last time, things ended in a controversial fashion, so surely Ronda hopes Extreme Rules is a different story. “Well, with all due respect, there’s not going to be any controversy this time. Speak of the devil.” Liv Morgan walks in! She asks to take over for Kayla and Kayla obliges. Liv sits down with Ronda now and Liv says she’s never met anyone that says words that mean nothing more than Ronda. Ronda said, “With all due respect,” but we know Ronda doesn’t respect Liv.

Ronda says she said “with all due respect” even though Liv is due none. Liv says she is literally the only person on the planet to defeat Ronda twice, so if there’s anyone she should respect, it’s her. But no, instead Ronda says the same things Liv’s heard her entire career. Liv isn’t good enough. Liv doesn’t deserve to be champion. But last time Liv checked, both times, Ronda’s shoulders were on the mat, Liv’s arm was raised, and this title was put on Liv’s waist. But Liv knows nothing she says will make Ronda respect her, so Liv will do what she’s done her entire career: she’ll earn that respect. The only way to do that is to beat Ronda again.

So when Liv defends her title at Extreme Rules, she wants Ronda in an EXTREME RULES MATCH!! Ronda takes Liv seriously this time. They both lean in close, and Ronda smirks. Liv wants Extreme Rules with Ronda? “It’s your funeral.” Ronda leaves while Liv sits back. Is Liv crazy for wanting this match? Or is she crazy like a fox?

 

Drew McIntyre gets up on the commentary table!

The Scottish Warrior appears from the crowd to surprise everyone, and he says, “Congratulations, Karrion Kross. You finally got my attention. I’ve been waiting for ya backstage all day long, but it seems if you’re not jumping me from behind, you don’t have the balls to face me like a man! So I’m gonna ask you: do me a favor, do yourself a favor. Finally grow a set, step up to Drew McIntyre, and I’m gonna make you a promise right now. You talk about your tick-tock, you’re so obsessed with time, time is running out for you! And the only countdown you need to worry about is three. Two. One! Lights out!” McIntyre has put Kross on notice, is Kross wishing he hadn’t taken up any of McIntyre’s time?

 

The Usos and Sami talk with Solo backstage.

It’s Solo’s time! Time to represent the Bloodline, but he already knows that. Always! Solo’s gonna go out there and handle business! They’ll be there to have his back! Let’s go get it, Uce! Solo has them hold on. He’s got this. Jey’s off his game today, Solo’s gonna bring Sami. Oh, well! Let’s go, Uce! Sami accompanies Solo, will the Honorary Uce make sure Solo handles Mad Cap?

Woods tags in off Ridge, Adonis runs in, and they fire off forearms! “This is Awesome!” as Adonis runs, but Woods ROCKS him! Adonis runs but into a SUPERKICK! Woods reels Adonis in, Kofi tags in and Kofi DIVES to send Dolla over the desk!! Woods hits a FALCON ARROW and Kofi is up top! FROG SPLASH!! Cover, Dunne breaks it!!

Sheamus celebrates with his fellas as they now have those golden tickets! Their opportunity is next week, will Ridge the Fridge and “Butchy” cash in and take those titles from The Usos?


My Thoughts:

A great SmackDown to keep things moving towards Extreme Rules. For one, a pretty good “interview turned confrontation” promo from Ronda and Liv. While WWE’s been doing their best to show Ronda as the anti-establishment Face, and is slowly morphing Liv into some kind of Heel, I feel like they both came off rather equally here. You could say either one is the Face and either one is the Heel, and I think it’d be believable. But Liv calling for the Extreme Rules is definitely so that she can use every weapon she can think of on Ronda. Now, I fear that will end up with Ronda being booked as invincible, where nothing Liv does can stop her. At the same time, I can’t see Liv winning against Ronda three times in the same year, so I suppose Ronda has to win here.

Meanwhile, WWE is also clearly planning ahead for Crown Jewel. Logan Paul would not be my choice, but perhaps the Saudi princes want Roman Reigns, one of the biggest names in pro-wrestling, against one of the biggest, most sensationalized names outside of pro-wrestling in Logan Paul. And I will say, Logan had a great segment with the Bloodline, and it did get me to want to see Roman VS Logan, so that we can see Roman SMASH Logan! Ricochet also had a great match against Sami Zayn, and how that turned out helped influence Solo VS Moss, which was also a great match. Solo choosing Sami over both his actual brothers is a nice twist in the story, I can’t wait to see what happens next.

But speaking of what happens next, we got an awesome Fatal 4 Way main event, but I’m very surprised by the audible they called. Instead of the exact rematch we were promised, we ended up with three completely different teams, and The New Day. For those wondering why The Viking Raiders, after beating The New Day in that Viking Rules Match, weren’t in this at all, Erik injured his foot during said Viking Rules Match so he and Ivar are sidelined again. They have had some really rough luck in the WWE, honestly. Neither Los Lotharios and Street Profits being involved is confusing, though.

But I suppose since they changed this from “winners face Usos at Extreme Rules” to “winners face Usos next Friday,” it makes sense now that the Brawling Brutes get an opportunistic win. The Brutes are definitely not winning against The Usos, even with the bit of dysfunction going on in The Bloodline. This then saves a few ideas for Extreme Rules and beyond. The Alpha Academy apparently shifted gears last minute to feuding with Braun exclusively, so that’s why they weren’t part of this. Though, Otis VS Braun is going to be some great stuff so it’s not so bad. Braun blasting the Maximum Male Models was great, too, actually, and I really liked the subtle lingering on “LA” for Max Dupri, AKA LA Knight.

Good stuff from DMG CTRL and Raquel, but of course Bayley won with help from Kai & Sky. Shotzi turning Face here is great, I always felt she was better as Face. There can be a moment of uncertainty for Raquel and Aliyah in accepting Shotzi as an ally, but this gives them a third woman for a 3v3 match against DMG CTRL on the SmackDown end. DMG CTRL clearly wants to show that the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships are “traveling titles” once again, so between NXT stars occasionally showing up on RawDown and RawDown stars occasionally visiting NXT, I would love to see DMG CTRL get real busy with title defenses.

And we got good promos from Kross and McIntyre to add some hype to their coming match. It was rather standard stuff, the Heel saying he’ll doom the Face and the Face calling out the Heel for being a chicken. Maybe next week, Kross accepts the dare and confronts McIntyre head-on. Then Extreme Rules can have a badass grudge match more or less on the level of Sheamus VS Gunther, which will be great for both men. Kross hasn’t been doing a lot of wrestling since his return, he’s clearly a big attraction type, so he really needs to start making up for Vince sabotaging him last time.

My Score: 8.6/10

Coverage

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

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

Published

on

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

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

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

 

Ratings:

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

Results:

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

Rosemary vs Lei Ying Lee – Lei wins via Thunderstruck

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

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

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

Great Hands vs Aztec Warriors

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

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

Image

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Victoria Crawford vs Brittnie Brooks

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

 

Overall Score: 4/10

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

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

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

Toni Storm is here!

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

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

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

 

Backstage interview with Paragon.

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

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

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

 

Ricochet VS Angelico w/ Serpentico!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall

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

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

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

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

 

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

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

Callis of course joins commentary while the teams sort out. Callis calls tonight “Don Callis Championship Wrestling,” and says Detroit boos him and his Family because it is a city of losers. Kyle Fletcher starts against Bandido and the fans fire up. Kyle and Bandido circle, the fans rally up more, and they tie up. They go around, Kyle puts Bandido on the ropes. The fans rally for Bandido and he dodges the chop to CHOP! Kyle swings, Bandido dodges and headlocks. Kyle powers up and out, Bandido RAMS him, but Kyle rebounds to RUN Bandido over! Kyle flexes, the fans boo, but then Turbo flexes and the fans cheer.

So Kyle BOOTS Turbo off the apron! Kyle runs, Bandido dodges, hurdles, but Kyle leaps over. The fans tell Callis off while things keep moving. Bandido slips around to tilt-o-whirl RANA! And then DROPKICK! Kyle falls against ropes, Trent tags in, and Trent CLOBBERS Bandido! The fans boo, Trent rains down fists, and the ref reprimands. Trent stops to tag in Rocky. Roppongi Vice mugs Bandido, then they DOUBLE BACK SUPLEX! But Bandido lands out, tags AR Fox, and Fox BOOTS Rocky! And BOOTS Trent! Fox goes up, up, and CANNONBALLS! The fans fire up but here comes the Murderhawk Monster!

Archer scoops Fox into the crucifix lift! But Fox slips free, goes Matrix to dodge, and he ENZIGIRIS! Archer tumbles out, Fox whips Rocky to the corner, Rocky runs into Turbo’s BOOT! Truth adds a HAYMAKER, then Fox tags Turbo. Turbo brings Rocky around to wrench and wristlock. Truth tags in as they whip and atomic drop, UPPERCUT HART ATTACK! Trent is back, but he runs into a DOUBLE HIP TOSS! The fans fire up with The Outrunner as they run at the corners! BACK ELBOWS in stereo for RPG Vice! Then Outrunners trade, more ELBOWS in stereo! Then a feed to the BULLDOG LARIAT COMBO! The fans fire up while The Outrunners wind it up!

“Turbo Floyd! You-” Well, Trent gets Rocky out of there, they do NOT give the people what they want. Archer is back and he double choke grips! DOUBLE CHOKE SLAM!! Archer BLASTS Fox & Bandido off the corner, Kyle is there to beat them up, and the fans boo as Archer stomps away on Truth! Archer stands on Truth in the corner and laughs while Collision goes picture in picture.

Archer stalks Truth tot he Callis corner. Rocky tags Archer in and they mug Truth. Archer bumps Truth off buckles, then whips him corner to corner hard! Truth falls to the mat, Archer puts him back in the corner, and Archer looms over him. Truth rises up to fire CHOPS, but archer eggs him on! Truth fires haymakers, then runs, only for Archer to DECK him! Tag to Trent and Trent stalks Truth while Archer TOSESS Turbo! Trent CHOKES Truth, CHOPS him, then talks trash. Trent winds up to CHOP again! Trent brings Truth over to bump off buckles, then he tags in Rocky. RPG Vice mugs Truth, whips him to a corner, and Kyle joins in.

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!

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

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

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

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

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

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

And these Gates right here? They’re gonna stop you in your tracks.” Liona says, “And this time, we’re not doing it in a parking lot! Y’know why? Because we’re in Detroit!

Stoke is frustrated for Dax as the fans rally up. Garcia storms up on Dax to climb up. Garcia rains down fists, and the fans count all the way to nine. Garcia foams at the mouth before he hits TEN! The fans fire up, Garcia waistlocks, but Dax holds onto a buckle pad! That pad comes loose, Garcia still hits a SAIDO! The fans fire up as Garcia covers, TWO!! Dax survives but Garcia goes for the legs. Dax CLAWS at Garcia’s face and shoves him away! Garcia still gets the legs and trips Dax up! DRAGON- NO, Dax fights and BOOTS Garcia into the bare steel! SLINGSHOT POWERBOMB!! Cover, TWO?!?! Garcia survives and Detroit is thunderous!

Stokely is seething and Dax is pissed, but the fans continue to rally for “DANNY! DANNY!” Dax goes up, and Garcia CHOPS first! Garcia climbs, brings Dax up, and they go to the very top! SUPER DUPER PLEX!! And then a roll through! Garcia hoists Dax up to the top rope again, and goes back up top! Another SUPER DUPER PLEX!! But Garcia isn’t done, he’s taking Three Amigos to a new level! The fans are thunderous as Garcia goes to the next corner, hoists Dax up, and climbs again! The fans want the hattrick, and Garcia brings Dax up! SUPER DUPER THREE AMIGOS!!! Both men are down and the fans are electric!

Stokely is furious as Garcia crawls to a cover! ROPEBREAK!! Garcia miscalculates and that works out for Dax! “This is Awesome!” and that might be an understatement! Dax and Garcia rise, go forehead to forehead, and then they go forearm for forearm! Garcia gets the edge and the fans love it! Garcia BOOTS Dax out of the ring, then pursues! Stoke has to run away before Garcia CLOBBERS Dax from behind! They go into the crowd, the fans fire up as they’re even closer to the action now! This brawl goes through the stands, around behind commentary, and Dax SMACKS Garcia off railing! And then off more railing!

Schiavone & Nigel just mind their own business, and yet Dax still feels the need to push Nigel’s headset off him! The fans boo and Nigel seethes. Nigel stands up, Dax dares him to do something! Detroit tells Dax he done F’d up, but Nigel just puts his headset back on. Nigel says he is a professional, but a professional commentator. Dax is the wrestler, so Nigel will not touch him. Dax SHOVES Nigel down! Nigel is furious but Dax already storms off to find Garcia. Dax puts Garcia in the ring, but Garcia reels Dax in! Dax fights the lift, Stoke barks from the apron! The ref backs stoke off, but Dax LOW BLOWS Garcia!

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

No Contest

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


My Thoughts:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

My Score: 8.8/10
