PLAY BY PLAY
The Judgement Day heads to the ring!
They get the mics and the fans boo. Rhea starts by saying, “Last week, AJ found out what Mami’s known all along. And it is the same thing that I have been trying to get through to you thick skulled dimwits. And that is that The Judgement Day, we run Monday Night Raw. Oh, and another thing that AJ found out for himself, is that Dominik Mysterio is all man.” Finn says, “In perhaps one of the greatest matches of all time, AJ Styles faced off against mah man, Dom! And the Phenomenal AJ Styles crumbled under the pressure against the legendary Dominik Mysterio!”
Priest says that brings us to his favorite time of the night: “When you all rise. I SAID RISE!!” Fans boo instead as Priest shouts, “RISE! RISE! ALL RISE!! You rise and show respect for the greatest luchador in the history of this business, Dominik Mysterio!” Dom says, “The Judgement Day aren’t-” The boos are too loud! Dom says the Judgement Day are the only ones who ever believed in him! “And last week, I proved all of my haters and all of my doubters wrong when I beat AJ Styles clean in the middle of this ring. How did I do it? Everyone is asking how. It’s because I’m built differently!” Rhea says, “Yeah you are.”
Dom thinks about it, and he says he is this generation’s Eddie Guerrero! No, no, wait, Eddie was his generation’s Dominik Mysterio! Last week, what Dom did to Styles was just a small taste of what the Judgement Day- Wait! Here comes the OC! And they’ve got mics to respond! “Dominik Mysterio! SHUT UP!” Fans cheer that! “This is Charlotte, North Carolina, and they know good wrestling when they see it. And you are not it. You wanna compare yourself to Eddie Guerrero? Your generation? You’re the generation of James Ellsworth!” Gallows adds, “Jimmy No Chin!” The OC storms the ring but Judgment Day stands its ground.
Styles tells Dom there will come a time when he can’t hide behind Judgment Day because the OC will pick them off one by one. Finn says Styles is one to talk about hiding. He’s hiding in the Club that Finn started! And while Finn’s being honest, ever since Finn left the Club, everyone to come after him has lived off his legacy! “Today, the Judgement Day are in town. Step up, and get put down.” Karl tells Finn that it is time for him to stop talking! And it is time to remind Charlotte, NC why Karl Anderson is the toughest man in the building! Clear the ring and do this match, right now! Finn is all for that, so here it goes!

Johnny Gargano walks around backstage.
He looks at his whistle, but then The Miz finds him. Miz wants to know what Gargano thinks he knows. Gargano knows what’s going on here between Miz and Lumis. And that is…? Miz knows. NO, he doesn’t. Mike, c’mon. You know. No, he doesn’t. Because there is nothing to know. If there’s nothing to know, then why would Miz ask Gargano what he knows? Anyway, just quit lying and tell the truth! No, Gargano is lying! He’s just trolling! He’s trying to use Miz’s name to gain something, which he oddly admires. BUT, Miz is not Gargano’s little clickbait. Miz is going to go out there and tell the truth! Good! It’s what we want! They argue, Miz heads out, but just what is Miz going to confess?
Raw returns and The Miz is in the ring.
The Miz tells the cameras to ignore Dale Earnhardt Jr! Miz could beat him in a race in his Tesla! But back to Miz, Gargano has come forward and accused Miz of keeping a secret between Miz and He Who Shall Not Be Named. And yes, there is a secret! But first, let’s reveal some facts! Fact: a lunatic show sup to Raw uninvited and gets carried away by security. Fact: the very next week, he shows up again and kidnaps Miz, dragging him away from Tommaso Ciampa, who we haven’t seen in WEEKS! And then a few more weeks, Lumis repeatedly attacks and stalks Miz, and Miz finds himself waking up in peculiar situations that he doesn’t wanna talk about.
Those are all what we have witnessed, but what are we missing? Miz will fill in the blanks. The night Miz was about to win the United States Championship inside a Steel Cage, Lumis showed Miz why he was a target. Surely fans think it’s his good looks or his fame. No! That lunatic targeted Miz because of Miz’s mind. And not some kind of Hannibal Lecter, but his knowledge of in this ring and in this business. So when Miz chose to give a selfless act and share that expertise with an up-and-coming superstar, that maniac Lumis couldn’t stand Miz chose Ciampa over him. Lumis sat at home jobless, thinking Ciampa stole the career Lumis deserved, he plotted his revenge,
Miz didn’t want Ciampa to know that he is the reason this is all happening because Ciampa is Miz’s best friend. If you’ve seen Ciampa, let Miz know. But Gargano interrupts. “You’re so full of crap! We both know what really happened.” Miz defends that IS what happened. No, Miz is so full of himself, he doesn’t even realize his “friend” isn’t missing. Gargano texted Ciampa a minute ago. Ciampa is injured. Miz is just a liar. But if Miz wants Lumis and Gargano out of his life, then all Miz has to do is to tell the real truth. Or, Mike, you know what will happen. Gargano will blow his whistle. Fans want Gargano to do it!
Miz says no! When his hand goes up, you shut up! He’s been telling the truth! Over and over! Speaking of truth, here’s R-TRUTH! Miz and Gargano are both stunned to see Truth back. Truth goes all the way through his theme song before getting into the ring. Truth asks Charlotte, NC, “Make some noise! What’s up!?” Truth heard Miz wants to tell the truth, so here he is, dawg. Actually, yeah he is the REAL Truth. Has EVERYONE lost their mind? Did Truth eat too much “Crappy comfort food?!” Bro, Truth won’t stand here and have Miz talk crap on mac ‘n’ cheese. Right, maybe Miz is the idiot for thinking Carolina’s brains could handle this.
Truth stops Miz again. It’s one thing to drag Truth down here and not tell the secret. But bro, you can’t talk down about his hometown. Hey, Charlotte! How about Truth gives Miz a North Cackalack BUTT WHOOPING? Fans like that! Miz says no, they’re not fighting. What’s wrong? Afraid Truth is gonna beat the truth out of Miz? Gargano knows Lumis deflated Miz’s balls, but he didn’t know Miz didn’t have any left! OOOOOH~! Miz says fine! He wants a match! He wants Truth! You can’t handle the Truth! JINX! But will we all hear the truth of the matter after this?
The Miz VS R-Truth!
Raw returns and fans taunt Miz with “Tiny Balls!” Miz says no, they’re MASSIVE! But Miz and Truth circle, Truth gets fans to chant, “What’s Up!?” Miz attacks Truth from behind! Miz stomps away on Truth, lets off as the ref counts, and then he tears his shirt off. Miz storms around, but Truth ROCKS him! And atomic drops him! And then kicks and runs, but Miz avoids the scissor kick to BOOT Truth down! Fans boo but Miz scowls as he storms over to Truth at the ropes. Miz CHOKES Truth on the ropes, fishhooks him, then lets off to run and STRADDLE ATTACK! Truth falls over, Miz drags him back up.
Miz chinlocks but Truth endures. Fans rally, Truth fights up and he throws body shots. Miz shoves Truth to a corner but Truth BOOTS back! Truth dodges and flying shoulders! Truth shouts out his hero, John Cena! SPIN-OUT BOMB! Fans fire up as Truth hits the splits, then says, “YOU CAN’T SEE ME!” But Miz KICKS Truth! They both run, BUSAIKU KNEE! Miz shouts out his bitter rival, the American Dragon, and he powers up as fans boo. Miz shouts, “MASSIVE! BALLS!!” Miz stalks Truth but then he spots LUMIS! Miz shouts about the man in the hoodie, but Truth rolls Miz up! TRUTH WINS!
Winner: R-Truth, by pinfall
Miz’s paranoia gets him again! Because that was just GARGANO in a hoodie! Gargano gives a thumbs up and Miz frowns. Will Miz
Backstage interview with Candice LeRae.
Cathy Kelly says Candice has made quite the impact. Is this what she expected when she made her return to the WWE? Candice says she wasn’t sure what to expect. First she’s in NXT, then her and her husband, Gargano, are having a child, and then they’re both on Raw. Candice says if she knew anything, it’s that this would be a challenge. But she’s had great support from Alexa Bliss, Asuka and Bianca Belair. But then Damage Control barges in and Bayley says, “Boo~! Bianca Belair sucks!” Bayley dismisses Cathy and takes over. Relax, they just have some questions. First, uh, WHO CARES?
There’s no Asuka or Alexa, they’re on the shelf, just like Becky Lynch. You’re welcome. DMG CTRL does what they want. Did you see SmackDown where they took care of Raquel & Shotzi? Candice asks Bayley what the point is. What’re they trying to prove? That they’re in control of the division now? The only thing they’ve all proven is that Iyo is still untrustworthy, Dakota is still spiteful, and Bayley is still NOT Raw Women’s Champion! Bayley says, “YET.” And if Candice doesn’t think they’re in control, then look around. Bayley doesn’t see any friends to help Candice. Candice shoves the camera over and DMG CTRL beats Candice up! Is DMG CTRL going to take control by any means necessary?
Elias walks around backstage.
The Drifter comes across Matt Riddle hitting the bong…os again. Riddle says, “Eli-Eli-O! What’s up, bro?” Well, Elias wanted to clear the air, but Riddle says no need to fear the air, it is clear. Riddle’s been working on his rhymes to work with Elias’ sweet tunes! Elias appreciates that, that’s very nice, but he has to say. Elias is a serious artist, the people love to hear him perform. But he has a long history of being disrespected and interrupted. So much so, Elias took a vow that if it ever happened again, he’d do something about it. But Riddle and Zeke were close, so Elias lets last week slide. But if it ever happens again, Elias won’t be so nice
Oh, okay, bro. But Riddle’s been hitting the bongs all week. Check! Smack smack, smack-smack-smack! Smack smack, smack-smack-smack! Elias is getting annoyed, but it’s Chad Gable who shouts, “SHOOOOOSH! SHOOSH. Okay?” It’s not bad enough Elias is back playing rotten tunes, we’ve got this clown now? Are they a band now? Blink One Eighty SHOOOSH? HAH! That’s not even funny, bro. They don’t have a name for the band yet. Well last week was a keyboard, is this week a kazoo? But to be serious, Gable wants Elias to shave his beard and pretend to be that moron, Ezekiel again. They liked Zeke better.
Elias says first, he and Riddle aren’t a band. Aw… Second, don’t you ever talk bad about his brother! Elias told Riddle how he hates being interrupted, and yet Gable and his big buffoon walk right in. So how about this? Gable can meet Elias in the ring and find out why WWE stands for Walk With Elias! Gable accepts. But Otis eats pieces like you for breakfast! Heh, they eat crap for breakfast. But anyway, will Master Gable learn a thing or two from The Drifter?
Mustafa Ali VS Austin Theory!
The Beacon wants an opportunity, and he’s taking on the guy who was handed opportunities on silver platters! Will Ali finally humble the Youngest Mr. Money in the Bank Ever and jump to a title shot? Or will Theory be taking more victory selfies than ever before?
The bell rings and wait, here comes Seth Freakin’ Rollins! The Visionary, the NEW United States Champion, struts his way out in a neon suit to get Charlotte, NC to sing his song. And also, to get in Ali’s head. Will the hungry contender be able to focus with the champion just on the outside? Theory and Ali circle as Rollins joins commentary, and the two tie up. Theory shoves Ali down and Ali gets to a corner. Theory talks trash, Rollins introduces himself, and Ali gets up. Ali and Theory circle, tie up, and Ali gets around to a headlock. Theory powers out, headlocks in return, but Ali throws body shots.
Ali powers out, things speed up, but Theory runs Ali over! Fans boo as Theory talks more trash, but Ali keeps cool. Ali and Theory circle again, they tie up, but Theory kicks low! Theory ROCKS Ali with a haymaker, then he puts Ali on the ropes to CHOKE him! The ref reprimands and counts, Theory lets off, and Rollins talks Theory up. Theory bumps Ali off buckles, RAMS his shoulder in again and again, then throws haymakers. Fans still sing for Rollins, “OH~ OHH~ OHHHH~!” and Rollins smiles. Theory slaps Ali around but Ali throws body shots and forearms! Ali whips, Theory reverses then kitchen sink knees! Cover, TWO!
Theory looms over Ali, he drags Ali up, but Ali throws hands! Ali whips, Theory reverses and hip tosses but Ali lands on his feet! Theory knees low, whips, but Ali ducks ‘n’ dodges to RANA! Theory flounders and Ali kips up! Fans fire up, Ali runs in and forearm smashes! Ali puts Theory up top, ROCKS him, then climbs up. Rollins doesn’t like this, but Ali is at the top. Theory throws hands and shoves Ali, but Ali flips to land on his feet! Theory jumps, but into a DROPKICK! Theory bails out and Rollins says that’s a good move. Ali is frustrated, but he glares at Rollins. Rollins tells Ali this is a great match, he has a great dropkick. Theory trips Ali up!
Theory SMACKS Ali off the desk, puts him on the apron, and hits a DRAPING NECKBREAKER! Rollins is loving this as Theory is in control and Raw goes to break.
Raw returns and Ali throws body shots on Theory. Ali then throws forearms, but Theory throws Ali out! Rollins laughs as Theory goes out to smack Ali off the apron. Theory puts Ali in, he soaks up the heat, and he takes his time getting back in the ring. Theory gets his phone, says, “This what you want?” Theory takes a quick selfie, but Ali DROPKICKS him off the apron! Hopefully Theory got that on camera! Ali goes up top to SUPER CANNONBALL! Fans fire up and Rollins is worried! Ali puts Theory in, dodges a haymaker to fire off fast hands! Ali has Theory in a corner but Theory turns it around, only for Ali to CHOP!

Winner: Austin Theory, by pinfall
The Visionary saw Ali was going to win, so he stopped that himself! Theory and Rollins celebrate together, but while Mr. MITB heads out, Rollins looms over Ali. Rollins mockingly applauds Ali’s efforts, then drags him up to TOSS him out! Fans are torn between boos and “OH~ OHH~ OHHHH~!” Rollins says Ali doesn’t belong in the ring with him, then goes out to TOSS Ali into the timekeeper’s area! “Still think you belong in the ring with me, huh? C’mon, Ali, quit fooling yourself.” Ali drags himself up but Rollins grabs him to whip him into a wall! “You don’t belong in MY WWE!” Rollins wants people to take Ali away, then he storms off to fetch the title.
Rollins struts his way up the ramp, saying Ali doesn’t belong, but then Ali LEAPS in outta nowhere! Ali fires off fists, not out of the fight just yet! They brawl with haymakers but Rollins knees low! Rollins whips Ali but Ali reverse, and Rollins runs into the stage tron! Rollins runs away and Ali says he is the problem that’s not going anywhere! Will Ali not stop until he’s stopped the Visionary?
Gargano hurries backstage.
Miz finds him and Gargano says not now, he has to check on Candice. Miz says Gargano dressed up as HIM, he deceived Miz! Well Miz has been deceiving everyone! Miz storms off, and then Gargano turns around to see JBL and Corbin. JBL says, “Johnny Wrestling! Internet hero! Independent darling. I don’t know what it’s like to be in Single A Baseball for a decade, we didn’t have to do that. But you’re int he major leagues now. And when you walk by a legend and a hall of famer, you stop and you introduce yourself. Because if this were the Attitude Era, son, you’d be carrying my bags.”
Gargano laughs, but JBL asks if he thinks it’s funny to mess with Miz. Learn respect. Gargano says he was 8 years old in the Attitude Era, but JBL is right, he will give JBL respect. JBL is a legend and a hall of famer, so here’s their introduction. Nice to meet yo, too, MC Hammer Pants. But what’s his name now? He changes his name so many times now, it’s hard to know. Is it Happy? Constable? King? Boring? Or, sorry, Baron. JBL has Corbin stand down, and says they should do this where everyone can see. Then they’ll all see what Raw’s greatest acquisition in history is all about when the Modern Day Wrestling God takes on Johnny Wrestling.
Gargano says that’s fine by him. Nice hats, by the way. JBL & Corbin head out, but will Gargano prove Corbin is far from a wrestling god?
4 on 1 Handicap Match: Omos w/ MVP VS Saul, Tom, Adam & Denny!
It’s one thing for a 2v1, and another thing for a 3v1, but a FOUR ON ONE? Only someone like the Nigerian Giant could even stand a chance in such a situation! Will Omos have a feast of destruction here tonight?
But before things get started, MVP has a mic to say, “Last week on SmackDown, the Nigerian Giant and the Monster of All Monsters came face to face for the very first time. And the 6’8″, 340 pound so-called Monster of All Monsters, was unceremoniously tossed from the ring like a child. Now Braun Strowman is one of the biggest, strongest, meanest big men ever to grace the WWE ring. And if that could happen to Braun Strowman, then gentlemen, I have to ask you, what chance do you think you have here today?” MVP wants them all to step closer. He promises nothing will happen to them before the bell.
The four walk over, and MVP says Braun likes to say, “GET THESE HANDS~!” But have you ever seen hands as big as Omos’? Omos’ hand is as big as one guy’s head! Fists like Christmas hams! Beautiful. Gentlemen, MVP wants you all to know that he respects their ambition. And he applauds their courage. But before getting started, do they have good health insurance plans? Yes? Good. Braun, MVP hopes you’re watching. Because after Crown Jewel, there will only be ONE monster in the WWE, and that will be the Nigerian Giant, Omos! Referee, please ring this bell and let the carnage begin!
MVP steps out as the ref steps in, and the bell rings. The four men all flank Omos, but Omos grabs one to TOSS him! Omos runs another over, then the third! The fourth leaps but misses as Omos moves! Omos CHOKE SLAMS that man! ne jumps on Omos , the others attack, and they swarm him 3v1! But Omos EXPLODES out! Omos reels one in, BOOTS the other, and suplexes for a GOURD BUSTER! Another leaps, but into Omos’ arms! Omos scoops and LAWN DARTS him, before he BOOTS him! Omos then SPLASHES one in a corner, SPLASHES another, and MVP says let’s go home! Omos stomps one, then clamps onto the fourth! MOUNTAINTOP SLAM!
Omos drags all the men around and stacks them! Cover, Omos wins!
Winner: Omos, by pinfall
Four mere mortals still do not stack up to Omos! Will Braun stand a chance at Crown Jewel? Or is beating up four randos nothing compared to actually fighting a monster?
Elias VS Chad Gable w/ Otis!
The Drifter returns to action, and he won’t let this walk be interrupted like before. Will he be the one to silence Master Gable? Or will Gable win this one #ForTheAcademy?
The bell rings and the two circle. Gable fakes Elias out and then gets him for a gator roll! Gable floats around, rolls Elias, but Elias gets to ropes. The ref counts, Otis taunts that Elias can’t keep up, and Gable says, “A THANK YEW~!” Elias gets up and resets with Gable. They tie up, Elias wrenches and wristlocks.

And fireman’s carry Gable, BRO TO SLEEP! Otis runs in but Riddle tosses him out! And then PENALTY KICKS from the apron! FLOATING BRO ATTACK on the Academy! Riddle gets in to help Elias up! Elias appreciates the help, will he need Riddle to watch his back with Gable & Otis going after him?
The OC regroups backstage.
Styles is furious! Rhea gets involved in his match, she gets involved in Karl’s match, she is a problem! But Gallows says he has a “Rhealution.” They all know Gallows is the best with women! What? Rhea body slammed him! Body slams are his love language! Gallows heads out, but he is NOT good with women! What is he thinking?
Raw returns as Styles and Karl still worry. Gallows returns, and he’s sore again! Did Rhea get him again? They get him ice and now they agree, they have a problem. Styles says they will do something. But just what will that be?
Baron Corbin w/ JBL VS Johnny Gargano!
John Bradshaw Layfield heads out first to get on commentary, but will his presence help the “Modern Day Wrestling God” have continued success? Or will Johnny Wrestling school them both on what it takes to make it big?
Raw returns and JBL says he’d ask Charlotte, NC how they’re doing, but he doesn’t care. They are the problem! They have let these ambitionless, safe-space-seeking Millennials and Gen Z’ers create an atmosphere where mediocrity is the norm. This is why they like Johnny Gargano, and the NFL’s equivalent, Baker Mayfield. But Mayfield’s from Oklahoma, so what’d anyone expect? And he’s not even on the “stellar” 2-5 Carolina Panthers. Fans even took the GOAT of all GOATS, Michael Jordan, and made him into a loser! This is where dreams come to die. But now you’ll get to witness something, you’re welcome. You get to witness greatness!
A Golden Gloves boxing champion! A former NFL star! A former Mr. MITB and Andre the Giant Battle Royal Winner. Raw’s greatest addition! Get on your HOOVES and put your chubby hands together to welcome the Modern Day Wrestling God, MR. BARON CORBIN! Fans boo instead as Corbin makes his way out. Corbin shakes JBL’s hand while fans boo. But then fans cheer as Gargano makes his entrance! The bell rings and JBL returns to commentary. Fans rally for “Johnny Wrestling!” as Gargano ties up with Corbin. Corbin shoves Gargano back then mockingly applauds. Corbin run sin, Gargano dodges and fires off hands!
Gargano climbs up, he rains down fists, but Corbin carries Gargano! Gargano sunset flips, covers, TWO! Gargano ducks ‘n’ dodges and RANAS! Then he DROPKICKS Corbin out! Gargano builds speed to DIVE! Corbin hits railing and Gargano fires up with the fans! Gargano sees Corbin get in, he goes to the apron, and he shoulder sin. Gargano slingshots, into a HAYMAKER! Gargano flops to the floor and fans boo but Corbin shouts out JBL at commentary. Corbin goes out, drags Gargano up and carries him around to POST him! Gargano drops to his knees and Corbin swaggers around. Corbin drags Gargano up and puts him in the ring.

Backstage interview with Bianca Belair.
Cathy asks the RawEST Women’s Champion that considering the “bad blood” Between her and DMG CTRL, what does tonight’s match mean? A win here means putting an end to all o fit. Superstars like Candice LeRae are catching strays and Bianca won’t stand for it if she’s the leader of the division. She is going outnumbered, but if she has to take out Kai & Sky, then that’s what she’ll do. Because now, this has become bigger than the title, bigger than ego. This is about payback. Bayley has taken out every single one of Bianca’s friends, so Bianca isn’t stopping until Bayley is left with absolutely nothing! Will this be the MeanEST we’ve seen Bianca be yet?
Gargano returns backstage.
Miz walks over and says he and Maryse got a Get Well card for Candice. Gargano says that’s actually rather nice. Miz says they’ve all had a really tough night. And Miz was thinking, they can just put the nonsense behind them. They can sit down, talk like reasonable men. Gargano says the only reasonable thing to do is tell the truth. And next week, if Miz doesn’t, Gargano will. But wow, Miz didn’t even sign the card. And Miz is rich, why not put money in it? Gargano heads off, but will Miz own up to this secret?
WWE looks at the coming Lesnar VS Lashley II.
The Beast, one of the most decorated men in fight sports and one of the most dangerous men in WWE history, and The All Mighty, another highly decorated and highly powerful wrestler. “What will happen as these two powerhouses head for a collision at Crown Jewel?” They’ve each cost the other a title in the past, but nothing has been settled between these two titans. On November 5th, “two of the WWE’s most dominant heavyweights, most decorated champions, will collide in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.” Will anyone or anything be left standing?

My Thoughts:
A really good Raw, though Charlotte, NC could’ve gotten a bit more fired up for some stuff. I liked the opening with Judgement Day and The OC, and of course Rhea helps Finn win this. I also liked The OC acknowledging that they need a way to counter Rhea given the co-ed rules of WWE: men can’t hit women, but women can get away with hitting men. I don’t know if there’s any female superstar on Raw to recruit, but this would be a good opportunity for say Tamina or Dana Brooke. Now, given those choices, Rhea would win whatever 1v1 is set up there, but it’d keep her busy from interfering with the guys feuding.
We got really good stuff out of this big story of Miz and Lumis, especially with adding Gargano since he talks and Lumis doesn’t. Also, I love that Truth came out because of a classic misunderstanding. I also like that they touched on Ciampa disappearing through Gargano texting him as an actual friend of his. Miz might be compelled to tell the truth if he loses a match to Gargano or Lumis, I’m just not sure what that secret could be. Gargano had a good interaction with JBL and Corbin, and Gargano had a great match with Corbin, but of course JBL interferes so Corbin can win. And at least Corbin’s ring gear looked better this time.
Ali VS Theory was a bit out of nowhere, but they gave us a great match and it was great to have Rollins be part of it. Theory wins thanks to Ali but then Ali gets the better of Rollins in the brawl. Maybe Theory gets back in the US Championship story for this stretch while the Universal Championship is busy with Logan Paul. Theory being involved could even be a way to keep Ali from beating Rollins to protect both of them until Survivor Series or beyond. And of course Omos mauls four jobbers. Braun should probably do more than beat up more jobbers. If Braun were to beat two or more established guys, then I’d accept that because he’s beating more talented wrestlers than the randos being fed to Omos.
Great backstage promo from Elias, Riddle and the Alpha Academy. Elias looked so ready to bop Riddle and that was a nice tease of there still being some Heel inside Elias. Elias VS Gable was a great match, and one of the main things I point to in thinking Charlotte NC was dead. That was a creative and awesome finish for Elias to win with. And Riddle making the save of course sets up Riddle & Elias VS Alpha Academy, and then maybe Elias snaps and beats up Riddle. And we got a good vignette from Lesnar and Lashley to hype up their rematch. Omos VS Braun has the potential to break a lot of stuff ringside, Lesnar VS Lashley should just break everything those two don’t. I don’t know who wins, but this one will be a lot of fun either way.
And we got some solid stuff out of the Raw Women’s Division. DMG CTRL busting up Candice’s interview and then kayfabe injuring her is pretty par for the course, setting up Candice, Alexa & Asuka all to come back together as a unit to beat up on all three of them. Bayley VS Bianca was also a great match, and also why I thought that crowd was dead. That match was just below Extreme Rules’ match, and I liked the surprise twist that Nikki is no longer A.S.H. but just herself, Nikki Cross. I almost thought “Doudrop” Piper Niven was going to join in but Nikki looked great just taking out everyone. Also a bit of a surprise Nikki let the match resolve, but I still sense she’ll want in on the title match.
My Score: 8.6/10

Now where is my locker room?” Mone asks a AEW staff member that very question, and hopes she has her espresso machine. She has to get ready for the show. Queen Aminata steps in to say that she doesn’t care who Mone is, or how many titles she has, or what she’s done in this business. There is no reason to be rude like this. Oh, no reason~! Who even are YOU? Mone has no time for Aminata. Now, to her locker room! The CEO has disrespected a queen, will she come to regret it?

Backstage interview with Mercedes Mone.
Renee Paquette doesn’t do the CEO introduction she did on Tuesday, but now it’s not good enough for the Two Belt Boss! Mone says she needs something something, more flava. Then joining her now is- Okay, no, Renee is better off just asking the questions. Renee congratulates Mone on her double title defense victory on Title Tuesday, but those chops from Emi Sakura…! It was like one after another! Wasn’t it like 30 or something? Mone & Kamille tell Renee to stop. Mone is still feeling the pain. But she is The CEO, she has no time for this, it is time to handle business. She has to go jump on her private jet, something Renee knows nothing about!
But Kamille is staying here to watch Kris Statlander very closely. And do you know why? Because money changes everything! Bye-bye, Renee. Mone heads out, Brickhouse stays, and Renee sheepishly exits. Will Kamille make sure the #BornAgainKristen doesn’t just talk the talk but walks the walk?
The Acclaimed VS ???
Speaking of talking and walking, Platinum Max Caster leads the way for Anthony Bowens as they- GET JUMPED BY MXM COLLECTION!? The fans boo as Mansoor & Mason Madden beat down Caster & Bowens!

And I bet you didn’t think we could do it, huh? I bet none of you thought MXM Collection were capable of this!” Bowens tris to sit up but Mansoor stomps him down. Mansoor says MXM didn’t wanna take it this far! They wanted to keep it light. They wanted to keep it fun. But Acclaimed took something special from them! They took MXM’s Grand Slam Collision moment away!
“So now, we are going to take something from you. Tomorrow night, WrestleDream, MXM Collection BEAT The Acclaimed, and WE are going to take YOUR spot!” The fans boo, but Mansoor says when numbers are even, MXM come out on top. Tomorrow night, MXM will have a very special surprise in their corner. It will be a third man, and Acclaimed, Mansoor promises them, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that third man will make sure they KILL scissoring and bury it once and for all! Mansoor then shouts to Mason, “Touch! My! Tip!” They finger boop as the fans boo, but both challenge and promise have been made. Who will be that third man, brother?
Kris Statlander speaks.
“You ever feel like somewhere along the way, you lost who you were? That’s exactly what happened to me. When you make a change, you need to think where you went wrong or how you got there. For me, everything went wrong when Mercedes Mone showed up. My best friend became obsessed with her. I let Stokely get in my ear, and I got led down the wrong path. I didn’t know who I was, but I did what I needed to do. And on the five year anniversary of Dynamite, I was reminded of who I am. I became ‘Born Again Kristen,’ and I am the biggest, baddest, strongest woman in AEW. I’m coming for Mercedes Mone and her TBS title.”
The Galaxy’s Greatest has her head on straight, but will she be able to earn that shot at championship redemption in the background of WrestleDream?

Renee is with Cassidy, Kyle and Rocky, and she commends Cassidy & Kyle on their win over The Kingdom. And tonight, Rocky is going to step into the ring with “The Bad Apple,” Bryan Keith. How does he feel ahead of his match? Rocky says he’s a little pissed. On Title Tuesday, The Learning Tree said Rocky was just some lackey for The Conglomeration. But Rocky is no man’s lackey! Tonight, he shows the Learning Tree, and most importantly Bryan Keith, that Rocky is his own man. Kyle says that’s right, Rocky. But um, Mark Briscoe isn’t here tonight, so what’s the word of the day? Kyle really needs to know.
Rocky says the word of the day is they stand back here while he handles business. Rocky heads out, will Azucar get himself some sweet victory? Or will The Bad Apple make him taste bitter defeat?
Kris Statlander VS Amira!
With The CEO’s Brickhouse watching backstage, #BornAgainKristen looks to keep her win streak going. Will there be no stopping Kris on her road back to the TBS Championship?
The bell rings, and Kris runs right up to UPPERCUT Amira in a corner! Then she goes side to side to KNEE Amira, and reels her in for a suplex! Kris holds Amira up to show off that strength, and then she SLAMS Amira down! Kris kips up and the fans fire up! Kris storms back up on Amira, but Amira fires forearms! Kris shoves Amira, Amira ducks ‘n’ dodges to tilt-o-whirl, but Kris stops the rana! Tuck and STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Another win that wasn’t just strong, but fast! Kamille is only moderately impressed, but will she be feeling different about Kris after they have a head-on Collision?
Backstage interview with Chris Jericho.
Renee is with The Learning Tree and brings up tomorrow night, WrestleDream, and the ROH World Championship match with Mark Briscoe. However, Jericho has quickly made this match personal with Mark, what is going on? Jericho smiles and says, “Hi, guys~! You know what’s personal to me, Renee? It’s the legacy of Chris Jericho. And after 34 years in this business, I can honestly say I’ve done and seen it all. I have headlined the biggest buildings in the world, from the Tokyo Dome to Madison Square Garden, to Rod Laver Arena in Sydney, Australia. Arena Mexico, everything. Nobody has had the impact over generations like Chris Jericho has.
“And now, it’s the dawn of a new Chris Jericho. As you know, I always reinvent myself, evolve. I was The Ocho. But now, it’s time for The Nueve. And Mark Briscoe, you know what the word of the day is? It’s, ‘Humbled.’ And you need to be humbled. Cuz you got a great rep, everyone feels for you. They give you a lot of free rides. You get to cut a lot of corners. The fans feel the same way, I don’t. So at WrestleDream tomorrow, I am going to humble you, Mark Briscoe. And if I made things personal, that’s just too bad. If I’m getting inside your head, that’s just what Chris Jericho does.
“So tomorrow at WrestleDream, I will become the ROH World Champion, for a second time! Just like Jay Briscoe, two-time ROH Champion. And Mark, that’s going to be personal. See you tomorrow. The Nueve’s coming. Thanks, guys~!” Jericho stops smiling, but will he fail to keep that promise against a very angry Sussex County Chicken?
The Beast Mortos VS The Butcher!
Roderick Strong is on commentary to claim Beast Mortos has simply wondered away from The Kingdom, and he just needs to see he cannot trust Jake The Snake Roberts. But will Mortos only focus on destroying his opponent? Or can The Butcher make Mortos in a prime cut of beef?
The bell rings and the fans rally up as the two circle. They tie up, are in a deadlock, then break. The fans rally, the two tie up again, and then the two break again. Butcher and Mortos fire up, tie up again, and push each other back and forth. Butcher puts Mortos in the corner, the fans chant “BEAT THAT MEAT!” but the ref counts. Butcher backs off, he and Mortos reset, and they tie up again. They’re in another deadlock, but now Mortos powers Butcher back. Mortos lets off, but then SMACKS Butcher! The fans fire up as Butcher snarls. Butcher and Mortos tie up, and Butcher wrenches an arm to a wristlock.
Mortos goes up the ropes to flip through! Mortos wrenches, headlocks, but Butcher powers out. They RAM shoulders, and Butcher says Mortos’s got nothing! Mortos runs, he RAMS Butcher again, and Butcher says that’s nothing! Mortos fires up, runs, and RAMS Butcher again! Mortos eggs Butcher on, so Butcher runs, and Mortos drops! Mortos runs up, Butcher dodges but Mortos dodges back! Mortos rolls off Butcher’s back, then SOBATS! Front kick! ELBOW! Snapmare, and NECK TWIST! The fans fire up with Mortos, even Roddy cheers, and Mortos runs up. Butcher BOOTS back!
Butcher fireman’s carries, GUTBUSTER DROP, then LARIAT! Cover, TWO! Mortos survives, but Butcher stands him up to fire forearms. Butcher whips, Mortos reverses, then runs in. Butcher BOOTS Mortos, but Mortos fires up! Mortos runs in, Butcher dodges, and Mortos hits the corner! Mortos tumbles up and out, Butcher pursues, and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Butcher CLUBS Mortos, then brings him around to whip into the apron! Butcher LARIATS Mortos down, and he looms over the beast. Butcher drags Mortos up, to then APRON BACK SUPLEX! Mortos staggers then falls over, and Butcher refreshes the ring count. Butcher ROCKS Mortos, CHOPS him, then stalks him around the way. Mortos SMACKS Butcher! Butcher ROCKS Mortos! Butcher SMACKS Mortos off the steel steps, then stalks him around the way. Butcher ROCKS Mortos again, Roddy shouts for Mortos to get going, but Butcher BITES Mortos on the forehead! The ref reprimands but Butcher stalks Mortos.
Butcher BOOTS Mortos, puts him in the ring, then storms over. Butcher drags Mortos into a chinlock and digs fingers into Mortos’ face! Butcher CLUBS Mortos but Mortos fires body shots! Mortos backs Butcher down, fires up, but Butcher CLOBBERS him from behind! Butcher drops a knee on Mortos, Mortos goes to a corner, and Butcher digs his boots in. The ref counts, but Rampage goes to break.
Rampage returns and now Mortos has Butcher down. The fans fire up and Mortos storms up to LARIAT! But Butcher stays up! Mortos LARIATS again, but Butcher shakes his head. Mortos runs, but Butcher ROCKS him first! Butcher runs, but Mortos follows to SPLASH at the ropes! Mortos runs and baits Butcher in! HEADBUTT! Mortos roars, but DOUBLE LARIATS take both behemoths down! The fans fire up and a standing count starts. Butcher and Mortos slowly rise, and they go to opposite ends. Mortos storms up to fireman’s carry and WASTELAND SLAM! The fans fire up as Mortos climbs!
The fans fire up as Mortos PHOENIX FLOPS as Butcher moves! Butcher runs up, waistlocks, half nelson and BACKBRAEKER! Then a deadlift JACKHAMMER!! Cover, TWO!! Mortos survives and Butcher is frustrated. Butcher points to the corner, climbs it, but Mortos CLUBS him! Mortos torture racks Butcher, BACKBREAKER DROP!! Even Roddy is stunned! Mortos hits a FLYING HEADBUTT!! Cover, Mortos wins!
Winner: The Beast Mortos, by pinfall
Roddy says he was Mortos’ good luck charm! Jake the Snake is watching, he likes what he sees from his new client. But will Mortos be able to bring down Hologram in their WrestleDream Best 2 Out of 3 Falls match?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
Renee is with the wild Aussie and asks if there’s any update on Saraya, who suffered in that brutal loss on Title Tuesday in that Fatal 4 Way. Harley says yes, Saraya is once again “incapacitated.” Then how is Harley holding up? She’s capacitated. What? Exactly! But do you know whose fault this really is? Does Renee know whom? Who? No, whom. Just say whom. ANNA JAY! What? She wasn’t even in the match! Exactly! It was an Anything Goes, so Anna could’ve been that anything, but she didn’t show up. Harley had to pull wood outta her ass, but where was Anna? Probably home watching her Stardom tapes? Ohh~!
All of a sudden, Anna goes to Japan and now she’s too big for the rest of them? Anna was supposed to be Saraya’s friend, but she wasn’t there, and now Saraya is pissed. And when Saraya is pissed, Harley kicks ass! Renee is confused, Harley says no more questions, and Harley storms off. Will the Star of the Show pay for simply doing nothing?
Lance Archer VS Matt Brannigan!
He may be part of the Don Callis Family now, but he’s still the Murderhawk Monster! He demolished people in the parking lot, he demolished his opponent on ROH last night, will he just keep on demolishing people until he’s become a champion?
The bell rings and Brannigan flexes right up in Archer’s face, but then regrets it. Archer choke grips, but Brannigan slips free! Brannigan dodges in the corner, CHOPS, but again regrets it. He CHOPS again, and again, then tries a choke grip! Archer just pries the hand away to LARIAT Brannigan inside-out! Archer whips Brannigan, BACKDROPS him, and the fans fire up! Brannigan goes to a corner. Archer runs in to ELBOW! Archer keeps going, and he ELBOWS Brannigan again! And then ELBOWS him again! Brannigan falls, the fans fire up, and Archer drags Brannigan to his feet. Double choke grip, for a TOSS overhead!
The fans fire up while Brannigan flounders. Archer reminds us, “EVERYBODY DIES!” Archer stands Brannigan up, tells the ref to back off, and he CHOPS Brannigan down! The fans fire up, Archer puts Brannigan back in the corner, and he fakes the chop. The fans boo but Archer puts Brannigan up top. UPPERCUT, and then crucifix lift! BLACKOUT BOMB! Cover, Archer wins!
Winner: Lance Archer, by pinfall
Callis loves the dominance of his Murderhawk Monster, but will Callis help Archer finally have gold here in AEW?
Jake the Snake speaks.
It was just after Title Tuesday and the world saw La Faccion Ingobernable join this living legend when Jake Roberts said, “Anybody that knows Jake Roberts knows that Jake Roberts has been all over the world, wrestled everyone. From Andre the Giant to Hulk Hogan and back. It did not matter. But they also know that Jake Roberts never cared about rules. Rules are for children. We’re not children. My friend, what we have here, matadors? Maybe. Maybe ninjas, who knows. I will tell you this: They’re hungry. What are we going to do next? That should be the question in your mind. Because when Jake Roberts tells you something, you can take it to heart.
“Rules are meant to be broken, like bones. And my friend, they’ll be glad to do both for you.” Rush tells us all to remember: If you mess with the bull, you get the horns! LFI throw up the fists, who will get those fists in their face in the very near future?
Backstage interview with Anna Jay.
Renee is now with The Star of the Show and brings up the harsh words from Harley. Harley blames Anna for not being a friend? Anna says yes, that’s right, they’re not friends, never were friends. It was a one-time team up, and they took some nice pictures, but Anna’s not running out to the ring to help two women who wouldn’t even spit on her if she was on fire. Anna takes care of herself, and that is fine. She has her own back, and needs both hands. What has she been saying since getting back? #JustTryMe. So what’s so hard about that? Anna is here and ready for anyone.
Harley wants to kick Anna’s ass? This one? Anna shows it to the camera. Just a heads up, this ass can kick back. Harley has been warned, will she reconsider her misplaced aggression?
Rocky Romero VS Bryan Keith!
Azucar may not be on the current Conglomeration merch shirt, but that doesn’t mean he’s any less a part of the team. Will Rocky make sure everyone, especially The Bad Apple, understands that?
But Keith doesn’t wait for the bell, he attacks Rocky at the corner! The bell does ring, Keith fires off forearms, and the ref reprimands. Keith lets off just to dig his boot in, but the ref tells Keith to stop. Keith snatches Rocky’s eyepatch away, then SMACKS him with it! Keith CHOPS Rocky, whips him corner to corner, but Rocky goes up and up to CROSSBODY! Rocky rains down fists, and he fires up! The fans fire up with Rocky but Keith bails out. Rocky finally takes off his jacket, and goes out after Keith. Keith knees low, whips, but Rocky stops from hitting steps! Rocky SMACKS Keith off steps, then uses steps to go up and FLYING RANA!
The fans fire up while Rocky gives some Latino Heat. Rocky puts Keith in, climbs a corner, but Keith bails out. The fans boo, but then Rocky WRECKS Keith with a dropkick! Rocky hurries out after Keith and the fans rally again. Rocky uses steps again, but Keith catches Rocky! EXPLODERÂ to the floor! Rocky writhes and Rampage goes picture in picture.
Keith storms up on Rocky, rains down fists, but stops as the ref reprimands. Keith paces around, drags Rocky up, and CHOPS him! Rocky staggers away, Keith storms up and CHOPS again. Keith whips Rocky hard into railing! Rocky falls in a heap but Keith still seethes. Keith drags Rocky up, puts him in, and then drags Rocky up just to snapmare him back down. Keith drops a knee on Rocky’s face! Cover, TWO! Keith argues the count but Aubrey defends that two is two. Keith storms after Rocky to CHOP him in a corner. Keith stalks Rocky, bumps him off buckles, then puts him against ropes!
Aubrey counts, Keith lets off, and Keith puts Rocky in a corner. Keith whips corner to corner, Rocky reverses, then Rocky runs up to LARIAT! Rocky fires up, runs again, LARIAT! That’s two-ever but Rocky keeps moving, only for Keith to use Aubrey as a shield! Jericho really has taught him well. Rocky helps Aubrey aside, and he fires haymakers on Keith! Rocky ROCKS Keith, then whips corner to corner. Keith reverses, runs up, and he LARIATS Rocky inside-out! Keith then shouts at the camera, probably “RESPECT CHRIS JERICHO!” Keith clamps onto Rocky with a chinlock and grinds him down.
Rocky endures, pries at the hold, and fights up to his feet. Rocky fires body shots, then ROCKS Keith! And ROCKS him again! Keith CHOPS, Rampage returns to single picture, then he runs up. Rocky BOOTS back, but Keith just roars! Rocky BOOTS him again, then CHOPS Keith on the back! Rocky CHOPS and CHOPS and CHOPS Keith in the chest, then puts Keith in a corner. Rocky KICKS and KICKS and KICKS away, then stomps a mudhole! Rocky digs both boots in, but Aubrey counts. Rocky lets off and is all fired up, as is Spokane. Rocky waits on Keith, runs in at him, but Keith dodges! Keith runs in, but into an UPPERCUT!
Rocky goes up and up and FLYING TORNADO DDTS! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives but Rocky stays focused. Rocky drags Keith up, then runs up to SLICED- NO, Keith slips free of the bread. Keith fires elbows, Rocky ducks one, but Keith runs up ropes! Rocky denies Keith his tornado DDT, and then wrenches, only for Keith to ROCK him! Underhooks, TIGERÂ KNEE STRIKE! Cover, TWO!! Rocky survives and Keith is stunned! Keith pulls at his hair in frustration but the fans rally up. Keith tells the kids to sit down, and he watches Rocky go to a corner. Keith runs in, blocks a boot, but not the ENZIGIRI!
Rocky goes up, leaps, but into another clinch! EXP- SUNSET FLIP! Keith rolls through, blocks a kick, ducks the enzigiri, but not the REWIND HEEL! Rocky runs up, SLICED BREAD!! Cover, TWO!! Keith survives again and the fans fire up! Rocky pounds the mat, the fans rally behind him, and he goes to a corner. Rocky climbs, but Keith hurries after him! Rocky fights the clinch, ROCKS Keith, but Keith RISING HEADBUTTS! Keith roars, fans boo, but Keith climbs up. Keith turns Rocky around, and BITES Rocky’s head! Aubrey reprimands, but Keith brings Rocky up, only for Rocky to fight! Rocky HEADBUTTS, and cravats!
The fans fire up for the SUPER SLICED BREAD!! Rocky clutches a leg, crawls to the cover, but Keith rolls away! Keith saves himself and fans boo as he goes to the floor. Rocky is frustrated, but he just builds speed. Rocky DIVES and down goes Keith! The fans fire up again and Rocky hobbles after Keith. Rocky drags Keith up, puts him in the ring, and the fans rally again. But Keith talks to Aubrey about pain in his neck. BIG BILL APPEARS, and he YANKS Rocky down! Then he BOOTS Rocky down! The fans boo but Bill puts Rocky in, Aubrey completely missing it! Keith runs in to KNEE Rocky at the corner!
Keith goes up and he reels Rocky in! DIAMOND DUST!! Cover, Keith wins!!
Winner: Bryan Keith, by pinfall
Kyle & Cassidy hurry out here but it is too late! The Bad Apple scores his win off Azucar, and he leaves to celebrate with The Redwood. Will there be no stopping The Learning Tree from having gold in his branches? Or can Mark Briscoe #ManUp and prevent The Nueve’s arrival?
My Thoughts:
A very good Rampage, even for a go-home, but clearly it suffered from the same dilemma as Dynamite in that with no Collision to take the pressure off, a lot more promos and story build had to be put here. Good promo from Mone to play off the one from Tuesday, good promo from Statlander to give us some idea as to why she got away from Stokely, and of course Kris squashes her opponent. Kris VS Kamille is going to be great stuff, and I think Kris sets herself up for a match with Mone at Full Gear. Good promo from Harley and Anna to set up their own match, which I would think Anna wins to get going towards her own title shot.
The Acclaimed being scheduled for a match just so MXM can jump them was pretty clever, but do they really need to have their match on WrestleDream? It feels like the only reason it’s a PPV match is because this third man will pull a Hulk Hogan founding NWO type move. It’ll be a Face going Heel and joining up. I don’t think it’ll be Daddy Ass, there has been no hint he wants out of The Acclaimed. It might be Caster because he wants to break away and prove he on his own is “The Best Wrestler Alive.” This blindside attack would then be a way to disguise that, because Caster got beat up as much as Bowens, but I guess we’ll wait and see.
Mortos VS Butcher was great stuff, and I found it kinda funny that Roddy was on commentary trying to still turn Mortos back to his side. Roddy & The Kingdom claiming all this stuff about Mortos has been pretty funny because clearly it’s all their delusion. Mortos is LFI, he and Hologram are going to have an awesome, potentially show stealing match, and then win or lose, Mortos and LFI will beat up The Kingdom. As such, good promo from Jake the Snake, I really hope LFI gets going this time. Meanwhile, Archer of course destroyed Brannigan, and likewise, let’s hope Archer can get a title now that Callis is his guy.
And really good stuff out of The Conglomeration’s story tonight. Very good tag match to open, can’t go wrong with Cassidy & Kyle VS Kingdom. What’s interesting was the respectful handshake after the match, so that further implies The Kingdom is going Face so they can battle LFI. Good promo from Jericho to give some last hype to the ROH World Championship, but I would hope Mark Briscoe wins. Rocky had a very good promo with Conglomeration, and a great match against Bryan Keith. But I just had a feeling Keith would win thanks to Bill, and good detail that Conglomeration didn’t get out there in time. That technically did honor Rocky’s request that they stay back, but Rocky should’ve known better. I would hope Rocky doesn’t cost Mark the title, we cannot go back to “Ring of Jericho”. No Nueve, por favor.
