The Good Brothers w/ AJ Styles VS The Alpha Academy!

The Original, the Official, and the ONLY Club that matters is back together! The Phenomenal One accompanies the Machine Gun, Karl Anderson, and Big LG, Luke Gallows, and they’re ready to continue where they left off. Will Gallows & Anderson make an example out of Chad Gable & Otis to the Judgement Day?

The teams sort out and Gable starts against Anderson. They tie up, Karl waistlocks but Gable wrenches out to a wristlock. Karl wrenches back, Gable rolls and spins through to headlock for a takeover! Karl keeps his shoulders up, fights up and powers out, but Gable runs him over! “A THANK YEW!” Fans boo and Styles is annoyed but things speed up. Karl hip tosses Gable then CLOBBERS him! Karl CHOPS Gable to a corner, brings him around to whip, and then he ELBOWS Gable down! Karl bumps Gable off buckles, tags in Gallows and fans fire up. Gable gets away and tags in Otis, and fans like the look of these two big men.

Styles celebrates with his boys, The OC is feeling Too Sweet! At least, until The Judgement Day shows up. Everyone has a mic but Finn starts with a “Tooooo Sweet~!” But that’s the same old same old crap! No one’s ever seen that before! Priest says the OC is crazy. The three of them think they accomplished something great last week! Fans chant, “You Suck!” Priest says they stopped caring about the fan a long time ago. But the only thing The OC accomplished is guaranteeing they’ll get cooked by the Judgement Day! Finn needs to remind us all that he’s the one who started that stupid little club! Finn made them, and he’ll break them!

That is why Judgement Day challenges the clowns to a match! But don’t get excited. It isn’t here tonight. It’ll be OC VS JD at Crown Jewel! Styles gets a mic to respond! “First of all, we accept. Second, I can’t understand why everyone does this. This is Monday Night Raw! You’re standing right there, we’re in the ring, let’s do this right here, right now! That is, unless you three boy shave to ask your mother for permission.” Dom tells Styles to shut up! Unless Styles wants to end up like Rey and end up running away to the other brand, tail between his legs, because he can’t hang with the Judgement Day!

Wow, listen to Dom. He’s so bad. So long as he’s next to the Judgement Day. Dom is trash! Dom turned his back on his own father! Dom is scum! A punk! So if Dom wants to run his mouth, let’s do something different tonight. If Dom wants to talk the talk, then he has to walk the walk. Dom and Styles can go 1v1 to handle business! Rhea says Dominik will rip Styles limb from limb. Is Dom a man or a boy? Dom says he’s gonna wipe the floor with Styles and rip him limb from limb! Then bring yer ass down here and let’s see it! Dom says whoa, he’s not ready right now. He isn’t dressed or taped up. But when he’s ready, he’ll mop the floor with Styles. In like, an hour!

Styles says fine, get dressed, tape up and drink some water. Styles will do what Rey couldn’t, and that’s beat the piss outta Dom! And THAT will be Too Sweet! Will this be a phenomenal start to the OC putting Judgement Day in their place?

 

Seth Rollins heads to the ring!

The Architect goaded Bobby Lashley into defending the WWE United States Championship last week, and now he is the NEW WWE United States Champion! Rollins swaggers his way into the ring as always, and he gets a mic as fans sing his song. “OH~ OHH~ OHHHH~!” And he welcomes OKC to Monday Night Rollins! “Allow me to reintroduce myself. I am a Visionary! I am a revolutionary! I am Seth!” “FREAKIN’ ROLLINS!” Oh and yes, he is your NEW United States Champion~! “And uh, for all you folks out there who doubted me… All you haters out there who turned your back on me… Who stopped believing in me, who counted me out… You can… Kiss. My. Big, beautiful red behind! AHAHAH!”

But for all the fine folks out there who have always had Rollins’ back, who never counted him out and always believed in him, do what you’ve always done and sing his song. “OH~ OHH~ OHHHH~!” Rollins laughs and says they sound beautiful. But tonight is historic! Tonight is the first defense in what will become the greatest US Championship run of ALL TIME! In tonight’s main event, Rollins will wipe this mat with Matt Riddle’s face! And in doing so, Rollins will clear up that “miscommunication” from Extreme Rules. Fans chant, “You Tapped Out!” but Rollins tells them that he may have tapped when Riddle had him in that triangle sleeper. But that was a strategic move!

Rollins tapped for the fans! Two days later, Rollins had to come to Raw and be in the best possible condition so he could beat Lashley and become the US Champion! He did it for you! For YOU! But wait, Mustafa Ali is making his way out? Ali has a mic to say, “Hey, Seth, uh… First of all, congratulations on becoming the new United States Champion.” Rollins likes the sound of that. He knew Ali was here to party. Ali was waiting for Rollins to give a shout out to his boy, Lesnar, but… Well, if Rollins won’t mention it, then neither will Ali. But what Ali wants to say is that the former champion, Bobby Lashley, promised Ali he was next in line.

Ali gets it, though. Things change. Champions change. But Ali’s challenge remains the same. Ali wants to face Rollins, and for that US Championship. Rollins laughs and says he has a question for Ali. “Do I look like Bobby Lashley? HAHAHA! Sorry, pal, you’re gonna have to get to the back of the line.” Rollins has to focus on Riddle, but here’s what they can do. Two options: Ali can stay out here, party with everyone to celebrate the new champion; or Ali can skedaddle outta the ring. Ali doesn’t belong in the ring with Rollins. HAHAHAHAH- Ali snatches Rollins’ glasses and throws them away!

It’ snot going down like that. This might be Seth Freakin’ Rollins but he’s staring at his next freakin’ problem! Ali isn’t going anywhere, he is not backing down, he wants to fight for the title! Rollins has him stop there. Rollins appreciates what Ali is trying to do. And this might be a surprise, but Rollins likes Ali. He respects Ali. Ali in the ring is one of the best performers WWE has today. But the thing some may not know about him is that Ali is an even better person. Rollins sees Ali helping the young guys, he’s a great friend and father, and SUCKER PUNCH! Rollins rains down fists and he then throws Ali out!

Fans boo but Rollins smiles and fixes his hair. Rollins goes out and says the problem is solved. NOT! Ali CLOBBERS Rollins and fires off against the barrier! “Fight me! Fight me!” Rollins shoves Ali and throat chops! And then POSTS Ali! Fans boo while Ali writhes, and Rollins snarls as he leaves Ali behind. Win or lose, is Rollins going to find Ali coming back for revenge?

 

JBL’s limousine drives into the arena!

Last we saw that car, John Bradshaw Layfield took a not-so-happy Corbin under his wing. Are JBL and Corbin back to spread some cheer?

Backstage interview with Matt Riddle.

Cathy Kelley is back, and she asks The Bro his response to Rollins’ comments earlier tonight. “Y’know, Cath, I got to know Seth pretty well over the last few months, and I’ve come to realize he’s a lot like one of those cheap Hoverboards. He’s a lot of fun at first, but then it starts to overheat and sets your house on fire, a bunch of tech nerds try to cover it up. It’s wild. But what I’m trying to say is, Seth can use whatever excuse he wants, but I already exposed him in the Fight Pit, and tonight I’m gonna beat his ass BAD, and become the new United States Champion, Bro. Yeah.”

But then Riddle notices Ali coming back. That took guts to stand up to Rollins. If Riddle wins that title, he’ll give Ali the opportunity he does deserve. For real? Yeah, Ali’s a stallion, bro. Ali likes the sound of that. But then wait, they both hear Miz crying about his knee! What happened here? What, can’t they tell? He was looking over his shoulder for that psycho, Lumis, and then some incompetent high school dropout janitor didn’t do their job, Miz slipped and fell and hurt his knee! Miz, don’t be rude, the term is “sanitation worker.” Actually, it’s sanitation engineer.

Guys, c’mon! He’s got a torn ACL at least! Miz is gonna sue this building. He can’t compete tonight! Get the EMT or a trainer! Yeah, uh, sure. Help, guys, Miz needs help. Or he’s just trying to avoid a match by any means necessary. Will Miz avoid being silenced by the Tortured Artist?

 

Judgement Day hypes up Dominik.

Finn says they’ve been training together, and nice guys finish last. It’s always about the bad guys. Wait, behind Rhea is Cora Jade. Cora did say she’d come to Raw. Finn is sure Rhea has this under control, right? Yeah, she’s got it. What does Cora want? Well, Rhea knows Cora is facing Roxanne Perez at Halloween Havoc this Saturday, right? Yes. And Pick Your Poison is first. Roxie chose Raquel Rodriguez for Cora. Cora needs to pick Roxie’s poison, and was thinking that there was no one as ruthless and dominant as Rhea.

So let’s get this right: Cora wants Rhea to go to NXT to beat the crap outta Roxie, who used to be Cora’s friend and tag partner. Unfortunately, yes. Well, same for Rhea and Raquel. Rhea wouldn’t mind putting Roxie down for her. Rhea’s in. Cora has her proxy, will Rhea eradicate Roxie?

 

John Bradshaw Layfield heads to the ring!

The WWE Hall of Famer, JBL, is back on Raw! Fans chant for JBL as he gets the mic. “It takes a momentous occasion for the Wrestling God to come back to the WWE, and tonight is no exception. I have got an announcement that will shake the very foundation of Monday Night Raw. But before I make that announcement, I would like to say something from the bottom of my heart. And in all sincerity, to the world… I apologize. For doing this… in Oklahoma. You gotta be kidding me! The great state is right there! The Promised Land is just south of the Red River, and you trailer parker living hillbillies don’t even have the common sense to leave?

“But wait, you did leave a couple weeks ago in the Red River Shootout, when God bless Texas put up half a hundred points on the Boomer idiots! They say you’re going to the SEC? How about trying the MAC? That’s a little more your speed. But I would love to just stand out here and bash Oklahoma because honestly, I really, deep down, despise this state and every one of you. But I have got great news. Rey Mysterio has left Monday Night Raw. Dominik has finally figured out what we knew decades ago: that that deadbeat dad, Rey Mysterio, is one of the worst human beings on the planet. He wears a mask because he is ashamed of himself.

“But that void has created the greatest trade since the Bambino came to the Bronx! And I’m talking about this! So I want you ladies and gentlemen to get on your little sweat hog feet, put your fat, chubby redneck hands together, and welcome the greatest addition to Monday Night Raw in history, and that is MR. BARON CORBIN!” No longer happy, but still very rich, Baron Corbin swaggers his way out and still has pyro! Corbin swaggers his way to the ring to join JBL and shake his hand. Fans boo but JBL says, “Look at this man. He’s two, three times the size of Rey Mysterio. And the dominance of Baron Corbin starts tonight.”

JBL asked for competition, and what the WWE gave Corbin is a former world champion, a former MITB winner. JBL knows Dolph Ziggler stole the show, but he’s been stealing money from the company in 15 years! If Ziggler was around in the Attitude Era, he wouldn’t have made the cut! And after walking around backstage, looking at the roster, if any of them had been around, Hornswoggle would’ve had competition, but the only way these superstars would’ve enjoyed the show is if they bought tickets to the show like the fans. And then they would’ve enjoyed the real stars, like Corbin! “This is a star that would be a champion in any generation.”

JBL wants us to remember these words, write them down, etch them in stone: This is the Raw Emergence of a Modern Day Wrestling God! Fans boo, no way Corbin fits any of that. But here comes the Show-Off! Can Ziggler shut Corbin down and shut JBL up in one go?

Baron Corbin w/ JBL VS Dolph Ziggler!

Raw returns and the bell rings. Ziggler and Corbin circle, Ziggler slips around but Corbin TOSSES him to a corner. Ziggler elbows Corbin back but Corbin clotheslines Ziggler out! JBL is on commentary as Corbin goes out to grab Ziggler. Corbin puts Ziggler in, JBL runs down poor Kevin Patrick, but Ziggler kicks and kicks and ROCKS Corbin! Ziggler ROCKS Corbin again but Corbin BOOTS Ziggler! Corbin talks trash on OKC but they boo him. Corbin drags Ziggler up, DECKS him, then drags Ziggler up. Corbin puts Ziggler in the corner, throws hands, talks trash to fans, then he DECKS Ziggler!

Corbin digs his boots into Ziggler, lets off as the ref counts, and then drags Ziggler up. Ziggler throws hands, runs, but Corbin CLOBBERS him! Cover, TWO! Corbin looms over Ziggler, he drags Ziggler up but fans rally up. Corbin whips Ziggler, Ziggler KICKS back! Ziggler goes to a corner, he dodges Corbin and sends him into buckles! Ziggler leaps up to rain down fists! Corbin stops that at five, and he brings Ziggler around to TOSS! But Ziggler lands on his feet to ROCK Corbin, and hit a SATELLITE DDT! Cover, TWO! JBL says Corbin is the new WEW cornerstone. Corbin gets to ropes, fans rally up, and Ziggler goes after Corbin.

Ziggler ROCKS Corbin, headlocks and grinds Corbin’s face on the ropes. The ref counts, Ziggler lets off to kick and stomp and rain down fists! The ref counts, Ziggler lets off, then he brings Corbin up to scrape Corbin’s face again! The ref counts, Ziggler lets off, then turns Corbin. Corbin dragon sleepers to inverted suplex! Fans rally while Corbin goes to a corner. Corbin runs corner to corner, Ziggler dodges, Corbin slides out then in to CLOBBER Ziggler! JBL is reminded of his clothesline, and he says, “Excuse me, Dolph, you’re missing your head.” Corbin soaks up the heat, goes out after Ziggler, and Corbin drags Ziggler up to RAM him into steel steps!

Ziggler writhes, fans boo more, but Corbin is all smiles as Raw goes to break.

Raw returns again and Corbin rains down fists on Ziggler! Fans boo and Corbin snarls, but then Corbin throws down another fist! And another! And another! Fans taunt “BUM ASS CORBIN!” as he goes to a corner. Corbin tells OKC they’re the bums, and then he drags Ziggler up. Ziggler throws body shots, Corbin shoves him away but Ziggler holds ropes. Corbin runs in, Ziggler dodges and Corbin tumbles out of the ring! Corbin gets on the apron and Ziggler fires off at the ropes! The ref counts, Corbin shoves Ziggler away. Corbin gets in, Ziggler dodges to come back with BIG clotheslines! Then a leap in the corner for a rain of fists, getting to TEN fast!

Ziggler brings Corbin out for a NECKBREAKER! Fans fire up with Ziggler, and Ziggler drops a BIG elbow! Cover, TWO! Fans rally as Corbin and Ziggler slowly rise. JBL has absolute confidence in Corbin, but Ziggler kicks a leg. Ziggler runs, into a scoop! Corbin gives us a FALL AWAY SLAM, a la his mentor! Cover, TWO! Corbin is frustrated and fans keep calling him “BUM ASS CORBIN!” Corbin drags Ziggler up, reels him in, but Ziggler slips through to a FAMOUSER! Cover, TWO!! Corbin survives and JBL is stone faced confident he’ll turn it around. Corbin and Ziggler rise, and they start throwing hands!

Ziggler ROCKS Corbin, Corbin ROCKS Ziggler, repeat! Ziggler HEADBUTTS, but Corbin bucks the ZigZag to get a DEEP SIX! And a deep one! Cover, TWO!! Ziggler survives and Corbin is furious! Corbin drags Ziggler up and tells OKC to shut up. The fans refuse, “BUM ASS CORBIN” puts Ziggler up top. Ziggler throws hands on Corbin over and over then HEADBUTTS again! Ziggler adjusts, leaps, but into a choke grip! CHOKE SLAM- NO, Ziggler slips out to DROPKCIK! Ziggler dodges the boot to ZIGZAG!! Cover, TWO!?! Now JBL is worried! Fans fire up while both men are down, but Ziggler rises first!

Ziggler fires up and so do the fans! Ziggler tunes up the band, but Corbin blocks the superkick to reel him in! END OF DAYS!! Cover, Corbin wins!

Winner: Baron Corbin, by pinfall

JBL joins Corbin in the ring to celebrate this victorious “emergence!” Will the whole WWE Universe have no choice but to accept JBL’s proclamation that Corbin will become the next Wrestling God?

 

Miz gets checked by the trainer.

He can’t even look! Is it out of place? Is it shattered? Just do the surgery now! Byron Saxton asks if Miz can face Lumis tonight. Miz says he is in an immense amount of pain, and it doesn’t seem he’ll be able to compete tonight. Well, yes, Miz does seem bad at the moment. But a number of people on the custodial staff have come forward and claimed they saw Miz pouring water on the floor and then sitting on it. And that he set up the wet floor sign nearby. In fact, the records shows the floors haven’t needed mopping since last night. Is Byron implying Miz set this accident up? That he’s just making this up to get out of a match? How dare you!!

Miz gets mad now. Miz is very, very hurt right now, and of course people will claim he staged this. They’ll fabricate some kind of alibi because he has a huge lawsuit. But then Johnny Gargano shouts, “OH MY GOD, IT’S DEXTER LUMIS!” Miz springs up out of fear, but it seems his leg is fine. Gargano says “My bad, that’s Byron. Common mistake.” Johnny Wrestling just exposed Miz! Seems Miz can face Lumis after all. Yes. Miz’s superior DNA has allowed him to heal faster than a normal human, so that’s bad news for He Who Shall Not Be Named. Miz vows Lumis will be the one injured tonight. Will Miz find a way to fake his way through that match like he tried faking his way out of it?

 

MVP speaks.

“Allow me to make this very clear. I am not here to disparage Braun Strowman. To the contrary, I’m here to celebrate Braun Strowman. His size, his strength, his ferocity. A former Universal Champion. The very mention of the name, ‘Braun Strowman,’ strikes fear in the hearts of ordinary men. But as you can see, this gentlemen standing to my right is very far from ordinary. He is in fact the personification of the word, ‘Extraordinary.’

“That’s why this Friday, we’re going to SmackDown. And the Nigerian Giant, Omos, is gonna walk right up to Braun Strowman, and look down at him, directly into his eyes, to make sure that the so-called Monster of All Monsters understands that the 7’3″, 403 pound Nigerian Giant fears no man. Because let’s face it, monsters aren’t real. But giants are.” Omos looks ready to smash Braun, but will he #GetTheseHands instead?

 

The OC talk backstage.

The know the Judgement Day will be up to something but Styles doesn’t want Gallows or Anderson to get involved. Styles doesn’t want to get disqualified. But then Cameron Grimes walks in! What brings him to Raw? Grimes has a problem with these Schism guys in NXT, so he wanted to see if they would be his tag team partners tomorrow night. Gallows asks “Uncle Allen” if this is the guy with all the “ki-zash.” The millionaire? It’s in crypto, though. Money is money, guys. Well, sorry, Grimes, but they’re cash only brothers. So if Grimes needs partners, they’ve got his back. That is TOO~ Sweet! See you tomorrow night, fellas!

Styles tries to argue the pitfalls of crypto but the Good Brothers say they like money. They haven’t changed. Will Gallows & Anderson help Grimes beat up the Schism and get that sweet, sweet moolah?

 

BREAKING NEWS for Crown Jewel!

Dom throws down elbows, then TORNADO- NO, Styles puts Dom back up top to CHOP! Dom HEADBUTTS, and FLYING DDTS instead! Cover, TWO!!

Rhea is furious about the count but the ref defends the two. Styles rises, Dom DROPKICKS him onto the ropes! Dom dials it up, 619 misses and Styles rolls Dom! CALF CRUSHER!! Dom endures, he crawls, and he gets the ROPEBREAK! Styles lets go in frustration, but he grabs Dom. The Judgement Day drags Dom out to safety, but the Good Brothers storm over. The OC and the Judgement Day stare down, and Styles DECKS Dom! The ref keeps the Good Brothers from brawling with Finn and Priest, Styles puts Dom in the ring, but Rhea anchors Styles! Styles kicks her away, Dom rolls Styles! Cover, DOM WINS!!

Winner: Dominik Mysterio, by pinfall

The Judgement Day helps Dom steal away a win over a Grand Slam Champion! Fans boo and the OC is just as mad, but the showdown at Crown Jewel is coming. Will Styles & the Good Brothers avenge this loss in the Six Man Tag?

 

Johnny Gargano finds The Miz backstage.

Miz asks what Gargano wants. Gargano feels compelled to help a fellow Clevelander. Gargano has known Dexter Lumis a long time, and he knows “the real story.” What’s Gargano talking about? If Miz doesn’t wanna have this match, he just has to tell everyone the truth. The truth? The truth is, Miz has been “victimized by a stalker.” And after tonight, after Miz wins, He Who Shall Not Be Named- Dexter. His name’s Dexter. He will be banned from the WWE forever! Well, good luck with that. Miz tells Gargano that after he’s done with Lumis, he’ll have a score to settle with Gargano. Alright. Knee looks great, by the way. Real powerful.

Gargano leaves Miz alone, but what secret past is he talking about? Will that come to light before the end of the night?

 

The Miz VS Dexter Lumis!

The Hollywood A-Lister may not be liked by many, but for whatever reason, he is the obsession of the Tortured Artist, who is still an unsigned free agent! If Lumis wins here tonight, he earns a contract with the WWE as a Raw roster superstar. Will Lumis rejoin the WWE at Miz’s expense? Or will Miz make sure Lumis ends up blacklisted instead?

Lumis makes his entrance, and Miz attacks from behind! WITH A CHAIR! Miz SMACKS away on Lumis on the stage! He doesn’t stop until that chair is BENT! Fans boo as Miz then drags Lumis up with a full nelson, to hit a SKULL CRUSHING FINALE on the chair!! Fans boo more as Miz leaves Lumis down and out. Referees check on Lumis, this match is called off! Miz beat Lumis down, but he didn’t beat Lumis. Will this do anything to stop Lumis’ obsession?

No Contest

 

Backstage interview with Damage Control.

Byron congratulates them on their win tonight, but what’s next? Kai says back, “What’s next? What’s next!? You don’t want to shed some light on how we just beat the Raw Women’s Champion, Bianca Belair, and Candice LeRae?” Bayley agrees, she is so sick of people asking them what’s next instead of appreciating what is unfolding in front of their eyes. Let’s appreciate the now! And now, Bayley asks Byron, “Where’s Alexa Bliss?” Not sure. They got rid of her! You’re welcome! And where’s Asuka? GONE! And that’s just a preview of how DMG CTRL will continue to reign over the women’s tag division. They are the best tag team, so Shotzi & Raquel better be watching! They don’t stand a chance on SmackDown!

And as for Bayley, she’s over what happened at Extreme Rules. Bianca didn’t pin Bayley. Bayley won’t let Bianca off easy. Next week, Bayley shows us what it’ll be like when she’s back in control! We get a non-title rematch next week, but will Bayley earn herself another championship opportunity with another pin?

 

The Miz runs across Gargano backstage.

Gargano shakes his head. “Bad move, Mike.” Does he really think that’s gonna stop Lumis? The only thing that will stop is Miz giving Lumis what he promised. Miz doesn’t know what Gargano is talking about! But what Miz does know is that Lumis is NOT getting a WWE contract any time soon. Gargano feels bad for Miz. What is the worse that would happen if Miz told the truth? Miz gets canceled, loses the house, lives on the street, Gargano & Candice take over Miz & Mrs. as The Wrestling Family and- SHUT UP! The hell is Gargano even wearing?

Oh, Miz knows what this is: it’s a whistle. Gargano has it for dramatic effect. But if Miz doesn’t come clean, Gargano will become a whistleblower on Miz. Gargano teases it but Miz storms off. Just what secret is Gargano holding over The Miz?

 

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s the return of ELIAS!

The Drifter is in the ring and fans cheer as he stands in front of a keyboard. Elias introduces himself, and says it feels great to be back. Now as you may or may not know, his younger brother, Ezekiel, had his wrestling career cut short. But that is the reason Elias is back. There’s a saying in their family: the show must go on. So, Elias has one question for the fans tonight. “Who wants to walk with Elias?!” OKC does! Elias says normally he’d play a song on a guitar, but he wants to do something special for OKC tonight. He wrote a song that’s straight from the heart and soul, and wants to play it from the keys. But he does get a bit emotional.

Please, silence your cellphones and hold your applause until the end so he doesn’t get choked up. Elias takes a deep breath, but “Bro…” Matt Riddle makes his way out? He has BONGOS! Riddle is going to the ring with bongos and a mic and Elias says dude, it’s great to see you, Riddle, but this is Elias’ big night and you interrupt him? C’mon! Oh, bro, no, he’s not interrupting. Riddle has a big title match up next, but he is a HUGE fan! Elias freakin’ rocks, bro! When Zeke was around, Riddle would get so Zeke’d up, it was crazy! Riddle brought his bongos! Does Elias want a hit of the bong…os? Elias says that’s not really his thing but…

Riddle has an idea. He knows everyone knows that there’s one truth. And that is that WWE means… “OH~ Walk With Elias~!” Fans sing along Seven Nation Army style, and Riddle starts hitting the bongos. Elias can’t help but crack up, and he has Riddle calm down a second. That’s great, Elias appreciates it and he appreciates all his fans. But listen, Riddle came out, he has a big match up next. So here’s an idea: Riddle can get a front row seat, with his bongos, everyone’s in a great mood, and Elias will play the song. Then can they one day play together? Fans like the sound of that! Elias promises us right now, in front of the world, one day they will. YES!! Elias is the best!

Riddle thanks Elias, and says if Elias needs anything, he’s right here. Thanks, Riddle. Riddle sits down, the lights go down, and Elias begins. Riddle vibes as Elias plays the long intro. But then Seth Rollins makes his entrance! Elias is frustrated and Riddle is also upset, but Rollins is laughing and swaggering to the ring as always. Fans sing, “OH~ OHH~ OHHHH~!” for the Visionary, but will Rollins be singing the blues at the end of their title match?

WWE United States Championship: Seth Rollins VS Matt Riddle!

Raw returns and Elias is still ringside as the introductions are made. The belt is raised, and we see which way this tie breaks!

The bell rings, they both rush in, and Riddle gets a FLYING TRIANGLE! Rollins scrambles to the ROPEBREAK Riddle lets off, Rollins bails out, and Rollins wants Riddle to stay back. Rollins tells Elias to leave, he has nothing to do with this. Elias says he’s here for his fan, Riddle. Rollins goes up the steps, steps inside, and circles with Riddle. Rollins then bails out again to cool off. Riddle goes up the corner to tell Rollins to get in the ring! Rollins tells Riddle to back off, and then Rollins steps inside again. They circle, feel things out, Riddle throws kicks at the sore ribs, and then he fires off in the corner!

The ref counts, Riddle KICKS and KICKS until 4, and then Rollins bails out again. Riddle goes out after Rollins, and he CLOBBERS Rollins! Riddle puts Rollins in the ring, hurries after him, and deadlift gut wrenches Rollins for the suplex! Fans fire up while Rollins grits his teeth. Rollins throat chops then he CLUBS Riddle down! Rollins stomps away on Riddle, drags him back up and bumps him off buckles. Rollins whips corner to corner hard and Riddle bounces off buckles to hit the mat. Fans rally and duel but Rollins rains down fists on Riddle. Rollins drags Riddle up, but Riddle throws counter punches!

Rollins ROCKS Riddle, but Riddle counter punches again! They go back and forth, forearm for forearm, and Riddle gest the edge. But Rollins SOBATS, then snap suplexes! Cover, TWO! Fans rally and duel, Rollins drags Riddle up and CHOPS! Rollins CHOPS Riddle against ropes, and then he fishhooks Riddle’s nose. The ref counts, Rollins talks trash but lets off at 4. Riddle catches Rollins for a headscissors to the floor! Riddle then goes up, but Rollins runs away! Riddle goes into the ring instead, Elias tells Rollins how close that was, and Rollins gets mad! Rollins pie faces Elias while the ref keeps Riddle back. Elias JUMP KNEES Rollins down!

Fans fire up and Riddle has a big smile on his face. Elias gets away with one and Rollins could be out cold as Raw goes to break!

Raw returns again and Riddle fires off forearms on Rollins. Rollins ducks the roundhouse, then fakes superkick to mule kick the legs out! Rollins SUPERKICKS Riddle down, covers, TWO! Riddle is still in this and Rollins is furious! Rollins argues with the ref but the ref says it was a fair count. Rollins fumes and tells Elias he’s gonna get his. Rollins drags Riddle up as fans rally, and Rollins gives Riddle some Kawada Kicks! But Riddle blocks the stomp to spin and PELE! Riddle kips up to forearm smash in the corner! And then another! Rollins blocks the exploder and fights free with elbows. Rollins spins, into the BROSPLODER!

Fans fire up and Riddle BROTONS onto knees! Rollins runs in at the corner, into an ELBOW! Riddle goes up, FLOATING BRO ATTACK! Cover, TWO! Rollins escapes and Riddle is surprised! Riddle rises as fans rally up and duel. Riddle drags Rollins up, lifts, but Rollins slips free to underhook! Riddle back drops, Rollins sunset flips, TWO! Riddle runs, into a ROLLING ELBOW! Rollins turns Riddle, for the DREAM SMASH- NO, Riddle ducks to ripcord, FINAL FLASH! And then gut wrench into the BRO DEREK! Cover, TWO!! Rollins survives and Riddle can’t believe it! Elias coaches Riddle to keep focus and fans rally up.

Riddle drags Rollins to a drop zone and he goes up top again. Fans fire up, but Rollins CLUBS Riddle first! Rollins climbs up behind Riddle, CLUBS away some more, then he stands Riddle up! Dragon sleeper for the INVERTED SUPERPLEX! And a roll-through, for an INVERTED FALCON ARROW! Cover, TWO!?! Riddle shows his toughness and “This is Awesome!” Rollins goes to a corner, he climbs up while snarling at Riddle. FROG SPLASH into the TRIANGLE!! Rollins flails, Riddle throws down elbow after elbow! Rollins deadlifts to POWERBOMB! But Riddle holds on!! Rollins endures, deadlifts again, to BUCKLE BOMB!

Riddle is still holding on?! So Rollins drags him up for a RUNNING POWERBOMB! Cover, TWO!! And Riddle still has the arm!! Riddle has that Triangle Hold in deep, but Rollins moves around! ROPEBREAK! The ref counts, Riddle lets go at 4 in frustration. Rollins sputters and gasps, fans are thunderous but Elias talks some trash. Rollins leans against the announce desk, fans rally for Riddle, and now Rollins dares Elias to hit him. Elias won’t with the ref looking. So Rollins SUPERKICKS Elias! Riddle PENALTY KICKS Rollins! Riddle puts Rollins in, ducks the clothesline and POWERSLAMS! Fans fire up as Riddle puts Rollins through ropes, for the DRAPING DDT!

Fans fire up and Riddle hears the voices, bro! Riddle pounds the mat, aims, RK- NO! And Elias comes in! Rollins shoves Riddle into Elias, then hits  CURB STOMP!! Cover, Rollins wins!

Winner: Seth Rollins, by pinfall (still WWE United States Champion)

And a CURB STOMP for Elias, too!! The Visionary gets the last laugh, taking out The Bro and The Drifter in one go! But he’s not done here! Rollins puts Riddle’s head on the belt! Rollins aims, but ALI ATTACKS! Ali won’t let Rollins get his way any longer! He blocks a kick to WHEEL KICK! Rollins flops out of the ring, but Ali DIVES out after him! Rollins hits the desk! Fans fire up with Ali as he throws off his jacket, and LEAPS over the desk to get at Rollins!! Rollins tries to run away but Ali clotheslines him over the barriers! Rollins runs away to the back and Ali shouts at him. “I’m a problem! I am YOUR problem!” Will Rollins have to look over his shoulder for The Beacon coming for him?


My Thoughts:

A great Raw here, with a lot of great build for Crown Jewel. For one, what an awesome opening segment with Lashley being there before cameras were live, and he calls out Lesnar, and they brawl. Lashley leaving Lesnar laying was a surprising and great turn around from last week, and now they’re going to have a great match at Crown Jewel. We also got a good match from Good Brothers VS Alpha Academy, of course Good Brothers win. Good promos from Judgement Day and The OC setting up their Crown Jewel match, and a really good match out of Dom and Styles, at least in terms of story. Of course Judgement Day cheats to give Dom the win, and that Six Man will be a lot of fun.

Another fun thing is that Grimes came here to ask Gallows & Anderson to be his teammates. I like that they’ll do it if he can pay them, and so there might be a moment tomorrow on NXT where they ask for the money. Cora also showed up like she promised last week, and she did ask Rhea to be her Pick Your Poison proxy, so it’s going as expected. We got a good tag match out of DMG CTRL VS Bianca & Candice, and of course they cheat to get the win. A tag title match happening on SmackDown is fine, but I suppose this is just to clear Shotzi & Raquel out of the way. I have a feeling Bayley will also cheat to beat Bianca next week, and then Crown Jewel can have a Raw Women’s Championship match.

Great return match for Corbin now that he’s back to just being Baron Corbin by name. He could’ve used way better ring gear, that cross stitch portion is flesh colored and just looks weird. I was also hoping for Corbin to incorporate more of a cowboy gimmick but oh well. If JBL keeps showing up to be on commentary for his matches, that much is going to be a lot of fun. And we got great stuff out of The Miz, and I like this new wrinkle that he supposedly promised Lumis something but is denying it. The No Contest was a bit lame but Lumis will definitely have a response, and this will escalate into something great for the promised match of Miz VS Lumis. I hope Ciampa returns so that we can get Miz & Ciampa VS Lumis & Gargano at some point.

Good promo from MVP to call out Braun on behalf of Omos, and that confrontation on SmackDown will be pretty fun. And we got great integration of stories for the US Championship. Ali wants after Rollins since Rollins took the title from Lashley, and then I almost thought Elias was going to go Heel on Riddle because of his interruption. Elias stays Face to be friendly with Riddle, and almost helps Riddle win against Rollins only to be the reason Riddle loses. I don’t know about Riddle, but I bet Ali AND Elias are going to go after Rollins and the US title for Crown Jewel. That Triple Threat would be a great match, because then Rollins can find an opportunistic way to win so no one is really hurt in defeat.

My Score: 8.7/10

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?

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!

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break!

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

 

Jon Moxley speaks.

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

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

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

 

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

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

The perfect combination of power, athleticism, intelligence, the look, and The It Factor. And I am in a really good mood, so y’know what? Billy, throw ’em up! Detroit, throw ’em up! And make some noise!” And they SCISSOR FINGER~! For old time’s sake, Bowens embraces the old gimmick. But will nothing stop Bowens from making himself a contender?

 

The Gates of Agony are here!

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

BREAKING NEWS for Beach Break: Dynamite!

Given Toni Storm wants more and more action, and since Chicago is Skye Blue’s backyard, they’ll be meeting in an AEW Women’s World Championship Eliminator Fatal 4 Way! Who will the two mystery participants be? And will anyone be able to score on the Whore We All Adore this close to Double or Nothing?

 

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

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

The bell rings and Dax circles with Garcia. Garcia is also wary of how Cash and #BigStoke are moving around ringside. The fans taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” so it isn’t just Ricochet anymore. Dax and Garcia tie up, go around, and Garcia puts Dax in the corner. The ref counts, Garcia lets off slowly, but he pats Dax on his bald head. Dax brushes that off, he and Garcia circle again, and then they tie up. They go around, Dax puts Garcia in a corner, and the ref counts. Dax lets off slowly, but he sucker punches Garcia! The fans boo but Stoke likes that! The ref reprimands but Garcia shakes off the cheap shot.

Dax storms up and ROCKS Garcia again! And CHOPS! Garcia staggers away but Dax storms up to CHOP again! Garcia goes to another corner, but then he CHOPS in return!

Dax stomps and drops knees on Garcia at the ropes! The ref counts, Dax backs off, and Garcia checks his own neck. Cash talks trash, the ref has him back off, and Cash says he’s just talking! He’s allowed to do that, right? The fans still taunt Dax with “BALD! BALD! BALD!” Dax stands Garcia up, reels him in, but Garcia fights the lift! Dax pulls on Garcia’s hair to then CHOP him! Garcia bails out, Dax pursues, and Dax brings Garcia around.

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

The fans boo as Cash says no more! Garcia seethes, and he still runs up, but Dax LARIATS Garcia down! Cash bought Dax time, and now Dax huffs ‘n’ puffs through his crimson mask. Dax puts Garcia in the ring, then he grabs the ring bell! The ref stops Dax and they tug-o-war over it! Dax lets the ref have the bell, but then Garcia trips Dax! Garcia steps through, and he turns Dax over for the DRAGON TAMER!! But Stoke distracts the ref, letting Cash drag Garcia out! DRAPING NECKBREAKER to the floor! Cash points to commentary to give a thumbs up, but wait! DADDY MAGIC is here! The fans cheer as Matt Menard CLOBBERS Cash!

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

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

Dax KICKS and ROCKS Garcia on repeat! Then he reels Garcia in for a DRAPING DDT! Cover, TWO! Dax rains down fists without hesitation! Dax hears the fans taunting him so he dares them to do something. Dax holds the ropes open but obviously no one takes the offer. Dax drags Garcia up, CHOPS him, and he storms up on Garcia at the ropes. Garcia ROCKS and CHOPS in return, but Dax CHOPS again!

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
