Sheamus VS Sami Zayn w/ The Bloodline!
Once again, Friday is Fight Night! And The Fella is going up against the Honorary Uce, because nothing was truly settled in WarGames other than whose side Sami is on. Will the Celtic Warrior kick Sami out of the way to go after The Head of the Table? Or will Sami be feeling Ucey in Buffalo?
But before the match, the Bloodline get the mics. Jey says, “The Bloodline is now in your city!” Fans are torn as Sami adds, “Guess what, Jey? At Survivor Series, inside of WarGames, the Bloodline yet again leveled up. And do you wanna know why? Because at WarGames, we had the longest reigning tag team champions-” Jimmy says, “No, no, no, no, my dawg. We’re not gonna do that. I told you in the back, tonight is about you, my dawg.” Of course The Bloodline leveled up, and of course they hashed it out, but Sami was the MVP! The fans were chanting for Sami USO! Buffalo chants “SAMI USO!” even now!
Sami smiles and shows the goosebumps on his arm. Jey says he doubted Sami for a long, long time. He did. He didn’t like Sami. But when Sami decided to stand with the family, he earned Jey’s respect asap. And it is because of Sami that at WarGames, the Bloodline won. Sami says this is too much. He doesn’t know what to say. Jimmy does! And the question is: How you feelin’? Fans already chant “UCEY! UCEY!” Sami looks around and says, “I gotta say, right now, I am feeling pretty freakin’ Ucey, baby!” Sami calls Jey into it, and they DOUBLE SECRET HANDSHAKE! Sami and Jimmy hug it out, but here comes Sheamus and the Brawling Brutes!
Sheamus has a mic to tell “Sam,” “I hate to beat the bullocks out of a fellow ginger, but trust me. By the end of tonight, you will have a massive smile on your face. I think there’s enough talking for tonight, yeah? It’s FIGHT NIGHT! Let’s go!” Sheamus leads Ridge Holland and Pete Dunne up to the ring, the Bloodline stands down, and the bell rings!

Legado Del Fantasma speaks.
Santos Escobar says they have only flourished since arriving on SmackDown. Now, he will make sure the SmackDown World Cup belongs in the hands of their perfect enterprise. “Winning this tournament shines a light on Mexico and the superior art of Lucha Libre.” Zelina Vega says we will soon see The Emperor is the very best the industry has to offer. “The results speak for itself. The SmackDown World Cup will give Legado a first class flight to the Intercontinental Championship. And when Santos becomes the Intercontinental Champion, it’ll give Legado an undoubted position of power in WWE.”
Escobar tells La Reina Vega that he likes the sound of that. And he tells Ricochet that he may have made it this far, but the fairytale comes to its final chapter. Cruz Del Toro and Joaquin Wilde both say, “Legado reigns supreme.” Will that prophecy come true? Or will Ricochet be the Cinderella Man that wins it all?
Backstage interview with Kofi Kingston.
Megan Morant says Kofi has good news, and he says yes! He is the first to declare for the Royal Rumble BABYYY~! Congratulations on that, but she must get his thoughts on the SmackDown World Cup finals. He likes what he’s seeing out of Escobar but he can’t bet against Ricochet. Both guys have a great chance against Gunther, but then Imperium walks in. Giovanni Vinci asks Megan why she’d waste time on someone who clearly has no respect for this great sport. Ludwig Kaiser agrees, as The New Day spends more time online than in the ring. Okay, guys, look, with you and your new shirts, you should be called “ImperiYUCK!”
But Kofi sees where this is going so he’ll stop it here. They want a match but Xavier Woods isn’t here. But Kofi is willing to engage in singles fisticuffs with any one of them! So the question is, who? WHO WHO WHO? The soldiers step aside for Der Ring General to step forward. Gunther says this is perfect. Tonight, Kofi takes him on. Kofi says okay, but was Gunther just hiding there the whole time? Well, see you out there! Will Kofi, a former Intercontinental Champion, prove to the current champion that speed can win against strength?
Bray Wyatt speaks.
“Y’know what I think’s pretty wild? I think we’re spoiled today. Society has given us this lavish lifestyle. We’re all shrouded in technology, and everyone has manners. Hmm. And I think that we typically forget that once upon a time, we were all just wild animals. Spiders eat flies, even to this day, snakes eat rates. But nobody looks at this like an act of violence. it’s simply just animals trying to survive. Some must die so that others can live. And you don’t wanna be the one, right? We don’t dare talk about these things, even though all these primal instincts are ingrained in every single one of us!
“We don’t dare talk about it, because we don’t wanna be the freak, right? We want to fit into our little place in society and carry on. But they’re still there. I’m not the one that hurt LA Knight.” Highlights show the last couple of incidents involving LA Knight disrespecting Bray, and then getting hurt. Bray says he didn’t do that, “but I heard you. And oh, how you rejoiced. How primal of you. However, if I had been the one, you would all know. Because there’d be none of him left.” Bray puts out a warning to LA Knight and him, but who will strike next?
Shayna Baszler VS Emma!
The Queen of Spades helped be an insurance policy for Ronda Rousey at Survivor Series, but she’s going to do this all on her own. Will Shayna continue to ruin Emma’s homecoming? Or will Emma prove WWE is #AllAboutEmma?
SmackDown returns, and before Emma makes her entrance, Mad Cap Moss walks over. Moss asks if she’s alright and she says she’s good. But she’s realizing five years is a long time away, and so much has changed here. Emma sees the competition is tough. Moss has her stop doubting herself. It isn’t that the competition is tough, it’s that she needs to remember who she is. The Women’s (R)Evolution wouldn’t have happened without Emma busting her butt. And sure, the game has changed, the competition is tough, but Emma belongs here. Emma thanks Riddick for that, and then she kisses him for luck.
Emma makes her entrance and the bell rings. Fans rally, the two tie up, and Shayna waistlocks. Shayna SLAMS Emma down, floats all over her, then slaps her around. Fans boo but Emma shrugs that all off. Emma and Shayna circle, tie up, and Emma wrenches and headlocks. Emma spins and waistlocks and spins Shayna to then snapmare and ghost pin! TWO! Fans cheer as Emma is showing Shayna just how good she is. Things speed up, Emma tilt-o-whirls and RUSSIAN LEG SWEEPS! Cover, ONE! Emma storms up after Shayna on the apron but Shayna HOTSHOTS an arm! Shayna storms in and drags Emma up to WRING that arm!
Shayna stands on the arm to YANK it! Emma shakes out the arm but Shayna grabs it, twists the wrist and bends the elbow to then double wristlock. Emma endures but Shayna bends the arm back! Emma avoids the cover but Shayna keeps on the arm. Shayna twists the arm but Emma fights up to roll Shayna up, TWO! Shayna CLOBBERS Emma! Shayna gets the arm again, twists it around and isolates it, but Emma rolls through to KICK Shayna! Emma throws body shots and forearms, but Shayna ROCKS her back! Emma comes back to LARIAT Shayna! Both women are down and fans rally. Shayna runs in but Emma elbows her!

Emma hurries to bring Shayna up and underhook the arms. But Shayna fights and the arm gives up! Shayna RAMS Emma into a corner, but Emma dodges the knee! Emma has Shayna in a TARANTULA! Fans cheer and the ref counts, Emma lets off at 4. Emma climbs, but Shayna kicks the rope to trip her up! Shayna then KICKS Emma, and THROWS her down! KIRAFUDA KLUTCH!! Emma fades, taps, Shayna wins!
Winner: Shayna Baszler, by submission
Shayna just took all that pep talk from Moss and tore it apart! Then she PENALTY KICKS Emma’s bad arm! Fans boo as Shayna isolates the arm, but here comes SHOTZI! Fans fire up as the Wild Child stands up to another bully! Shotzi dodges, fires off forearms on Shayna, but Shayna KICKS Shotzi back! And KNEES Shotzi down! Shayna looms over Shotzi, clamps onto one of her arms, and twists the wrist! Fans boo as Shayna isolates that arm, but here comes RAQUEL!? Raquel Rodriguez has a broken elbow but she’s still here! She storms right up to the ring, stares Shayna down, and then gets in the ring!
Shayna leaves and fans boo. Bully Baszler backs away, and says it took all three of them. Will Shayna have to face the consequences soon enough?
Lacey Evans is “getting back to basics.”
She jogs in camouflage and boots. “You are the product of a elite training of the most powerful fighting force in the world: The United States Marine Corps.” The drill sergeant puts her through the training. Lacey has found herself in the crowd with the whiners and the weak, so something had to change. “A Mustang gets a tune-up. A boxer goes to training camp. A Marine goes back to basics.” The journey continues, when and where will we see a renewed and redeemed Lacey Evans?
Ricochet speaks.
“So it’s come down to this: Mexico VS the United States of America. Santos Escobar VS Ricochet. From the moment that the competitors were announced, everyone’s been asking me this one question, and that’s, ‘What would it mean for Ricochet to win the SmackDown World Cup?’ I think it’s pretty obvious every time he walks out the curtain. It would mean everything. And if this is the route that Ricochet has to take to finally get his rematch for the Intercontinental Championship with Gunther, then you’re looking at the winner of the SmackDown World Cup. Santos, I hope you’re ready.”
Kofi Kingston VS GUNTHER w/ Imperium!
The New Day’s high-flyer brings the Power of Positivity to hold it down, but he isn’t just facing one of the foot soldiers. Will Der Ring General prove that the mat is sacred? Or has he gotten rusty waiting for someone to step up?

A big win in a big fight for the Intercontinental Champion! That #LastSymphony was what finished this, but was using a powerslam a message to the Monster of All Men? Is Gunther looking past the two men in the World Cup finals tonight?
Sami Zayn exits the Bloodline locker room.
This time, there’s a number pad on the door, so only those with a password can get in. Sami types it in to lock it, and Sami says they’re heading out to eat. He knows a great place, he hopes everyone’s hungry. But Jimmy wants Sami to hold on. Sami and Solo can go together. Sami’s been making enemies, the Enforcer will do his job. Well, alright. Let’s go, Uce! Sami & Solo head out, and the Usos talk. Sami may be Bloodline, but he still ugly. Jimmy can’t believe Jey is okay with “Sami Uso.” Jey can’t either. He never thought he’d see the day. But Jimmy asks if Jey ever got to confront Sami for lying to his face.
Jey says no, but Big Uce said he saw what he needed to see looking at Sami. And we saw how WarGames went! They got the win! YEET! But then SHEAMUS attacks, with a shillelagh! Sheamus wishes them luck on Monday. And if the Usos make it through, Sheamus & Drew will be waiting on the other side! Sheamus heads off, shouting, “BANGER! AFTER BANGER! AFTER BANGER!” Will Jimmy & Jey make it through Elias & Matt Riddle just to run into the Celtic Connection?
Damage Control is here!
Bayley, Iyo Sky & Dakota Kai are here, shrugging off the loss at WarGames with the fact that they still have the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. Bayley says, “DING DONG, idiots! Especially you right there! Sit down with your dumb hat. Trust me, trust me, we don’t wanna be here in stupid Boof-alo, either. But I’m pretty sure, uh, Michael Cole must’ve missed me, huh? That’s why we’re here. SmackDown needed ratings so they knew they could count on Damage Control. You guys saw that footage, right? That was less than a week ago, okay/ We were in WarGames less than a week ago.
“The three of us combined were inside that match for a total of 95 minutes and 19 seconds! DO any of you idiots realize the magnitude of that? Do you know what that does to our bodies? Of course you don’t. Because you dummies cheered for Becky Lynch when she won. Oh gimme a break! She was in there for a cup of coffee!” Fans cheer for Becky but Bayley says Becky’s not here, so the fans can shut up. Bayley was gonna give Becky some credit for stepping up, but never mind, the fans ruined that. Enough about Becky, Bayley wants to talk about the SmackDown Women’s Division. No one had the guts to step up and face DMG CTRL!
And as the longest reigning SmackDown Women’s Champion in history, that really disappointed Bayley. So now they’re here to be SmackDown’s Role Models! You can look up to her, Sky & Kai. But wait! Here comes Liv Morgan! “Bayley, Bayley, Bayley. It seems like you have a problem with the Smackdown Women’s Division. Well on behalf of the locker room, I’m here to address it. One, two, three… Seems fair.” Liv rushes the ring! She trips Dakota, drags her out and RAMS her into steps! Sky runs in but gets sent into barriers! Liv h Bayley alone now and TACKLES her! Liv rains down fists and fans fire up!
But Kai & Sky return to beat Liv down! DMG CTRL mugs Liv 3v1, but wait! Is that… TEGAN NOX?! Nox is back and she slides in to go right at her old friend, Kai! Then she DECKS Sky, DECKS Bayley, CLOBBERS Kai, and kicks everyone! UPPERCUT for Bayley! Nox stomps a mudhole into Bayley but Kai & Sky go after her! They set Nox up for Bayley to LARIAT! Fans boo another 3v1 mugging! But Liv returns with a kendo stick! She SMACKS Kai, SMACKS Sky, and SMACKS Bayley! The stick is broken and fans fire up! Nox runs in with the SHINIEST WIZARD!! Tegan Nox is back, and just like Liv, SHE stepped up! Will DMG CTRL fail to take over even the blue brand?
Karrion Kross speaks.
Scarlett Bordeaux deals tarot cards while Mr. Doomsday says, “This universe is one giant storm. It’s chaos, randomness. And I embraced this truth a long time ago. I embraced it. Others, they struggle with this reality. And the more they fight against it, they come to find it puts them all in places they really don’t wanna be. I showed Drew McIntyre this. And I had to teach Mad Cap Moss. That you don’t walk against the wind. But now, now it’s time to take someone else into the eye of the storm. Scarlett.” The card dealt is “The Emperor,” REY MYSTERIO! “Tick-tock.” The apocalypse is coming for the lucha legend, will Rey’s time run out?
Uncle Howdy speaks.
“Do you know the man who lives next door? How well do you know their name? Why can’t you all see? I know what he thinks. I know how he feels. It’s all fiction. Trust me. Revel in what you are.”

Ricochet stares down Der Ring General, and the countdown to their showdown is on. Two weeks from now, we see the Intercontinental Champion VS the SmackDown World Cup Champion, but who will be THE winner in this long awaited rematch?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown to build off WarGames and head for the holiday season. For one, a great opener from Sheamus VS Sami, especially with the growing story of The Bloodline. Naturally, Sami gets help from the Usos now to win the match, and naturally, Sheamus wants after the Usos for it. Sheamus & McIntyre VS The Usos is a given as Elias will surely turn on Matt Riddle on Raw. And Sheamus & McIntyre VS The Usos is going to be an awesome match next week, in which I’m sure Sami will be pivotal in the Usos retaining. And as I’ve been saying, this all builds towards the long term story that Sami and Kevin will be the ones to take the tag titles.
Really good promo from Bray Wyatt, and he is clearly talking about Uncle Howdy when he says someone was happy LA Knight got beat up. Uncle Howdy had a good promo, too, to further make us doubt Bray is being genuine. I bet LA Knight’s response next week is to also claim Bray is playing us, and that he’ll expose Bray, and then maybe we get Bray’s first match back as part of the Christmas Friday episode on the 23rd. And there has been talk of a special stipulation match for the Royal Rumble involving Bray, so a simple singles match can have a wonky finish that then requires a rematch with the stakes raised.
I couldn’t be sure how well that promo Emma had with Moss was, because they didn’t do the best with catching Moss’ part. Sure, it’s live TV but WWE is usually on top of this stuff. Emma VS Shayna was a good match but fans didn’t give actually damn until the very end when Shayna was beating up on Emma. Great to see Shotzi going after Shayna to keep things going from Survivor Series, and interesting to see Raquel given her elbow is kayfabe broken. I’m not sure if this is building towards Shotzi VS Ronda II or a tag team blow-off, but I’m surprised there wasn’t more with Kross & Scarlett with Emma & Moss.
Speaking of which, decent promo from Kross and Scarlett to call out Rey Mysterio. That’s a bit of a surprising choice but I suppose Kross has to feud with someone while all titles are in a holding pattern. Lacey Evans gets a new vignette series, and it seems HHH is going to fix the parts Vince mucked up. Y’know, making her a Heel after a month of making her feel like a Face. Lacey does do a good job of being a Heel, and can be a Face if given the chance, I just hope HHH keeps things consistent rather than swerving for the sake of swerving. And a really good promo from Bayley for Damage Control starting a SmackDown story. Liv and the returning Nox looked great in fighting them off, I feel like Liv and Nox would make a great tag team to fight Sky & Kai for the women’s tag titles.
Good promo from Kofi and Imperium to set up Kofi VS Gunther. That was a great match, and Braun Strowman is clearly still poised as the real threat to Gunther. Braun ran off Imperium, Gunther still beat Kofi, further building Gunther’s strength as champion. Braun VS Gunther has to happen come Rumble, the WWE’s Big Four really should have the midcard titles on it. That said, great promos from Escobar and Ricochet, awesome match from Escobar and Ricochet, and Ricochet winning makes sense. I forgot he did not have his rematch for the title, so Ricochet is going to give Gunther an awesome match in a couple weeks, though in a losing effort.
My Score: 8.8/10

AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Will Ospreay VS Ricochet!
Wait, are the fans throwing white streamers or is that… No, yeah, it’s toilet paper! Ospreay laughs at the fans basically calling Ricochet crap. Ricochet throws the toilet paper back! The bell rings and we’re on the clock. The fans fire up for Ospreay as he and Ricochet circle. The fans also sing, “F HIM UP, OSPREAY, F HIM UP!” Ricochet shrugs that off, he and Ospreay tie up, and then Ricochet rolls. Ospreay shoots in, waistlocks, but Ricochet switches. They go around, Ricochet gator rolls with Ospreay, then floats to a headlock. Ricochet wrenches, hammerlocks then headlocks again. Ospreay powers up and out, Ricochet runs him over, but Ospreay kips up!
The fans cheer and Ospreay smiles as he and Ricochet reset. They tie up, go around, and Ricochet wrenches to a wristlock. Ospreay rolls, wrenches and wristlocks, but Ricochet spins and wrenches to hammerlock. Ospreay reaches back, headlocks and hits a takeover. Ricochet rolls to a cover, TWO! Ospreay holds onto the headlock but Ricochet powers up and out. Ospreay runs Ricochet over, Ricochet bails out, and then Ospreay handsprings to fake Ricochet out! The fans cheer as Ospreay superhero lands out, and Ricochet is annoyed. Ospreay holds ropes open for Ricochet, but Ricochet goes around the way to step in on his own.
The fans boo Ricochet being a bad sport but Ricochet ignores that. Ospreay and Ricochet knuckle lock, then Ricochet kicks low! And CHOPS!

The fans fire up, and Ospreay arm-drags Ricochet down! The fans cheer while Ricochet endures the grind. Ricochet fights up and puts Ospreay on ropes. The ref counts, Ricochet and Ospreay slowly let g o, and Ricochet SLAPS Ospreay! Ospreay CHOPS Ricochet!
Ospreay takes a swing, Ricochet ducks under to roll back and RANA! But now Ospreay handsprings through! Ricochet dodges to waistlock but Ospreay bucks the O’Conner. Ricochet arm-drags Ospreay down, but Ospreay headscissors back! Ricochet pops free but Ospreay arm-drags! Ricochet headscissors, Ospreay pops free, and Ospreay handsprings, but Ricochet catches him! Ricochet then THROWS Ospreay into the Tree of Woe, and Ospreay falls down! The fans boo while Ospreay bails out, but Ricochet FOSBURY FLOPS! The fans boo but Ricochet takes the toilet paper to wipe himself, then he SMOTHERS Ospreay with it!
The fans boo that literally disgusting act of disrespect, but Collision goes picture in picture.
Ricochet taunts the fans, then drags Ospreay up. Ricochet puts Ospreay in, soaks up more heat, then KNEE-BOARD SENTONS! Ricochet swaggers to taunt the fans more, then he goes back to Ospreay. Cover, ONE!! Another cover, TWO! Ricochet taunts the fans more, then goes back for Ospreay. Ricochet stands Ospreay up to CHOP, and Ospreay goes to a corner. Ricochet RAMS into Ospreay, RAMS him again, then snapmares to UPPERCUT in the back! Cover, TWO! Ospreay stays in this but Ricochet drags him into a motorcycle stretch. Ospreay endures while Ricochet digs a knee into the back. Ospreay fights up, fights with elbows, then runs, but into a DROPKICK!
Ospreay is down in a daze but Ricochet has to shake out the stars in his own head. Ricochet covers, ONE! Ospreay then uses that one to flip off Ricochet. Ricochet RAMS Ospreay in the back! Ricochet then clamps on with a chinlock, and he digs his knee into Ospreay’s back. Ospreay endures, even as Ricochet JAMS Ospreay. Collision returns to single picture as the fans rally for Ospreay again. Ospreay fires up, fires hands, but Ricochet RAMS him into a corner. Ricochet runs up, RAMS into Ospreay, then goes to the apron. Ospreay takes a swing but Ricochet dodges and gets around him to GERMAN SUPLEX! Ospreay lands out!

Both men are down and the fans are thunderous! Ospreay and Ricochet both slowly sit up and the fans rally as hard as ever. Ricochet and Ospreay stare down, talk a bit of trash, then stand up. Ospreay draws a line in the sand and dares Ricochet to step up.
Ricochet steps right up, they stand toe to toe, literally! They start firing forearms! The fans cheer Ospreay, boo Ricochet, and Ricochet wobbles! But then Ricochet comes back with forearm after forearm! Ospreay wobbles, but he grins as he rises and roars! Ospreay fires a flurry on Ricochet, then ROCKS him! Ricochet flops over, Ospreay hauls him up! But Ricochet grabs at the ref! Ospreay kicks Ricochet’s arm away, but then Ricochet RAMS Ospreay into the ref!

The fans count, Ospreay would’ve won twice over! Ospreay calls to the ref, the ref sputters around, and Ospreay goes up. But then Ricochet kicks the ref into ropes!

Winner: Ricochet, by pinfall (gains 3 points; Ospreay earns 0)
The One & Only got away with murder, but there’s nothing that can be done now! Ricochet has NINE points, will he be headed to Worlds End?
Adam Cole heads to the ring!
The fans cheer as the Panama City Playboy returns to the Hammerstein Ballroom, and yes, they join in for the “BOOM~!” and the “ADAM COLE, BAYBAY~!” Cole grabs a mic, but he keeps his eyes on the ramp. That’s because we all know who’s next. MJF makes his entrance, but with a handful of security guards in front of him first. And not even AEW security, that’s his own personal security. MJF grabs a mic and has them cut his music. The fans boo but MJF tells them, “If I wanted your help, I’d ask for it. Sit down and shut up.” The fans tell MJF to STFU, but MJF shrugs that off.
MJF tells Cole that MJF is frustrated. It’s because for the past few months, MJF has had to listen to Cole say MJF is Cole’s biggest enemy! If memory serves, and MJF’s memory always does because unlike the fans here, he isn’t a complete moron… Didn’t Cole turn on MJF? But then does Cole realize he has bigger enemies out there? Like spray tan, cracks in the floor, gusts of win, and maybe… a cavity. Because last MJF heard, Cole’s dentist isn’t seeing him anymore. Cole was already staring daggers into MJF, but now he’s pissed. MJF has Cole calm down, and he tells the fans to shut up so he can shoot straight.
When MJF was the longest-reigning and greatest AEW World Champion of all time, Cole was nothing more than MJF’s cute little sidekick. That ate Cole up inside. Cole wanted to be MJF. Cole wanted #TripleB. But the sad truth is, Cole had many opportunities to win the title before MJF got anywhere near it. It’s almost like when it comes to Cole being elite enough to become world champion, just like his “s*itty little ankle,” Cole blows it. MJF laughs at his own joke, and then tells the fans he is talking, it is not that complicated. But this is why MJF doesn’t buy the hogwash that Cole turned on MJF because MJF would turn on Cole first.
Cole turned because he, like all these shmucks, is jealous of MJF. And who can blame Cole? MJF is rich, handsome, funny, entertaining, and then look at Cole. For crying out loud, Cole used to be ADAM COLE BAYBAY. Now, he’s just a crack baby! Cole asks if MJF is done. Was that the last line? Because it felt like MJF practiced that for two weeks in front of a mirror. But MJF killed it, really. Cole could come back with childish comments to hurt MJF’s feelings, but he won’t. Cole could mention MJF has had two surgeries on that fake head of hair of his while only in his 20s, which is hilarious, but he won’t.
Cole could talk about how MJF pulled some strings to get his girlfriend hired, like the real politician he is, but Cole won’t go there. Cole could talk about how every single time MJF enters a room, everyone waits for him to leave because he is loud, obnoxious and annoying as hell. But Cole won’t go there. Because Cole is not like MJF. They are nothing alike. That is why the friendship was ruined. Because, MJF, the truth is you say Cole is a failure, but in virtually every wrestling company Cole has worked for, he is the longest-reigning champion in so many!
In this very building, Cole bled BUCKETS against Kyle O’Reilly, wanting to prove he was one of the best in the world, and that is exactly what he did! Does Cole have regrets? Sure. Are there things Cole wishes he could take back? Absolutely. But Cole does NOT regret turning on MJF. The only reason it drives MJF insane is because Cole beat MJF to it. That’s MJF 101: Get close to someone, then turn on them. It’s what MJF does. Cole just did it better than MJF, and MJF knows it.
But Cole has been thinking, trying to understand what’s going on in MJF’s head, and he finally figured it out. MJF is terrified of having anyone close to him, because he feels it is a weakness. That hit a chord? Because not only does MJF act like a child, he thinks like a child! MJF knows in his heart that he was going to be the one to turn on Cole first! DAMN RIGHT HE WAS!!! MJF realizes he let the cat out of the bag. MJF says congrats, Cole, he solved the mystery! A regular Scooby-Doo! Great job, Adam.
But you want the truth? Here it is. The fact of the matter is, last year at Worlds End, MJF had every intention on stabbing Cole in the back that night. Cole just got lucky. When #BetterThanYouBaybay started, MJF didn’t give a damn about Cole. Cole was nothing more than a pawn. But MJF will admit, he did eventually start to care. For the first time in MJF’s life, he cared about someone else. Fans mockingly go, “Aww…” But MJF says that is just when Cole became a liability. And since Cole’s “a fragile little freak,” him jumping off that ramp and exploding his ankle made him a distraction!
Distractions, liabilities, emotions, there are no room for those when all you should be concerned with is maintaining the world championship! But Cole doesn’t get it, does he? Last year was a fluke. Cole ain’t the Devil, he just beat the Devil to it. But this year, Worlds End, December 28th, the same show where Cole tried to end MJF’s world, MJF ENDS Cole!! MJF throws down the mic and the fans are torn. Cole smirks and says MJF ends things then? Well, how about Cole ends this? COLE DECKS MJF! The guards rush in, but Cole fights them off! MJF sends more but Cole SUPERKICSK! And SUPERKICKS! And SUPERKICKS!
But then MJF LOW BLOWS Cole! MJF tells the fans to shut up! MJF takes out the Dynamite Diamond Ring! But then The Kingdom rushes out here! MJF runs away from Matt Taven & Mike Bennett, but he vows this ends at Worlds End. We have one week left, is that the last week Cole has in AEW? Or will MJF finally lose the one thing he has left in that diamond ring?
Backstage interview with Kris Statlander.
Lexy Nair is with the #BornAgainKristen and brings up her trying to make amends with Willow Nightingale last night, as well as making the save when Harley Cameron & Penelope Ford were beating Willow up. Kris says what she and Willow have to discuss is between them. But as far as her and Penelope go, they’ve got a lot of history, and if Ford wants a fight, Kris will give her a fight. Then speaking of history, Kris still has her eyes set on the TBS Championship, can she tells us more on that?
Kris says she looked back on 2024 and she had a downward spiral that started with losing that title. Maybe if she wins it back, Kris will right her wrongs. On that note, Mercedes Mone, you don’t have an opponent for Worlds End so here Kris is. Let her know when you’re ready for round two. Kris heads out, will she prove to everyone that she is still the Galaxy’s Greatest?
Backstage interview with Orange Cassidy.
AEW returns and Lexy is now with Freshly Squeezed. In exactly one week, he will compete against three other men for the AEW World Championship. There are a lot of combustible elements at play, and Cassidy says yeah, we saw that on Dynamite. Jay White, Hangman Page and Cassidy can’t exactly have a conversation. So really, Cassidy wants them to listen. “Between now and Worlds End, Jon Moxley can run and hide. He can hide behind his goons, he can run away in a pickup truck. But when that bell rings in seven days, he has nowhere to go. He will be in the ring with us. Us three. And you both know that we need to remove Jon Moxley from the equation.
“We can. We’ve done it. And after that, us three, we can fight for the AEW World Championship and one of us will become the AEW World Champion. Just something to think about. See you guys on Dynamite.” Cassidy is ready to remove the Maniac from the throne, but will the Switchblade and Cowboy listen to reason?
Kris Statlander VS Penelope Ford!
As Kris just said, she’s calling out The CEO in hopes of one more TBS Championship match. But will the Superbad Girl be more like the Grinch for Kris this Christmas?
The bell rings and the fans rally as Kris circles with Ford. They tie up, Kris powers Ford to a corner, then throws Ford back into the corner! The ref counts, Kris lets off, but Ford shoves her! Kris ROCKS Ford, TOSSES her, then runs up on her. Kris whips, drops down, then hurdles over. Kris CLOBBERS Ford and the fans fire up as she flexes. Kris drags Ford up, reels her in, and suplexes, and she holds Ford up! The fans cheer and Kris goes all the way to TEN, but Ford slips into a SLEEPER! Kris pries the hold open and she brings Ford around for another suplex! The fans fire up as Kris holds Ford up for five before the SLAM! Cover, TWO!
Kris drags Ford up, whips her to the corner, but Ford goes up, only for Kris to Electric Chair Lift! Kris climbs, Ford fights with fists, and she shoves Kris down! Ford steadies herself, then hits a FLYING BLOCKBUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford is frustrated but she storms up on Kris. Ford bumps Kris off buckles but the fans rally behind Kris. Ford stomps a mudhole, but she lets off as the ref counts. Kris goes to the apron, but Ford jumps up to drop KNEES on her! The fans boo but Ford soaks up the heat, and Collision goes picture in picture.
Ford brings Kris around to THROW her into railing! Ford soaks up more heat, then drags Kris up and RAMS her into the apron! Ford refreshes the count, then stalks Kris around the way. Ford whips Kris into the steel steps! Kris falls over in a heap but Ford drags her up into the ring. Ford covers, TWO! Kris stays in this but Ford kicks her around. Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes, thrashes around, but lets off as the ref counts. Ford drags Kris up and whips her to ropes, then LARIATS as Collision goes to break.
Christmas Collision returns and Ford CHOKES Kris on the ropes again! The ref counts, Ford lets off and Kris sputters to the apron. Ford runs and goes up, up, and KNEE DROPS on only apron! Kris then SHOTGUNS Ford off the apron! The fans fire up and Kris brings Ford up, to THROW into railing! Kris puts Ford in the ring, the fans fire up, but Ford kicks low. Ford reels Kris in, but Kris suplexes, FISHERMAN BUSTER! Cover, TWO! Ford flounders to a corner but Kris has the fans rallying behind her. Kris runs up to UPPERCUT! Kris goes side to side but Ford dodges the knee! Ford hits a FISHERMAN SUPLEX! Bridging cover, TWO!
Ford wasn’t quite perfect there but she watches Kris go to a corner. Ford runs corner to corner, handsprings, but Kris catches her! The fans fire up as Kris GERMAN SUPELXES, but Ford lands out! but Kris goes Matrix to dodge! So does Ford! STUNNER! Ford runs, Kris does her best to follow, but Ford hops up for a POISON-RANA! Cover, TWO!! Kris survives and the fans fire up! Ford is beside herself, but she drags Kris to a drop zone. Ford goes up top, and MOONSAULTS BUT FLOPS as Kris moves! Kris hurries to deadlift GERMAN SUPLEX! And then GERMAN SUPLEX again! The fans fire up as Kris scoops to tuck Ford in! STATURDAY NIGHT FEVER! Cover, Kris wins!
Winner: Kris Statlander, by pinfall
Ford gave Kris quite the fight, but Kris came out on top! Wait, here comes Mone! Kris did call the CEO out, so Santa Mone says, “Ho, ho, ho ho ho! New York Citaaaay~! Please say hello to your C E O! Kris, after the year I’ve been having, I was planning on taking Worlds End off. I was planning on going to the Ritz in Boston.” The fans boo Boston, but Mone says since it’s the holidays, Mone feels like being nice. She already beat Kris once anyway, so she’ll just beat her twice! At Worlds End, you see that money changes everything, because Mone is the greatest TBS Champion of all time!
The challenge has been accepted, and Mone is looking to be busy before the New Year. Will Kris make her regret it?
Big Boom AJ & Big Justice return to the ring.
They’re getting Christmas Collision ready to bring the BOOM, but out comes Chris Jericho, who is still ROH World Champion after overcoming Matt Cardona last night at Final Battle. And he has Bryan Keith & “Big Bill” Morrissey with him as he asks if AJ has a permit for being here tonight. Did they talk with Mayor DeBlasio? Because they certainly didn’t run this past Jericho. Do they know who he is? Big Justice says yeah, he knows! “You’re a JACKASS!” Jericho is taken aback, but the fans agree with Justice. The Bad Apple says this is why dumbass kids should be sitting and not heard. Jericho says yeah!
And if being a jackass means he’s the King of New York, then Jericho’s the biggest jackass! And besides, Jericho talks for everyone here saying we do not want AJ & Justice here! The fans boo, they disagree with Jericho. But Jericho says they don’t even have Costcos in New York! New Yorkers shop at bodegas. Fans are torn, because they kind of agree. Jericho says his favorite is the Walgreens a few blocks over in Flushing. And speaking of Flushing, that’s where AJ & Justice belong: in the toilet! This is the Hammerstein Ballroom, the House that Jericho built! The fans boo that, it’s the House that Hardcore built.
But Jericho says there’s no time for goofy gimmicks like BOOM~, or bandit masks, or scissoring! Scissor me, Bad Apple~! But then wait! The Acclaimed is here! Well, Anthony Bowens is, at least. Bowens pushes past The Learning Tree and he joins AJ & Justice in the ring. Bowens has the music cut, and he tells Jericho that he doesn’t get why Scissor King is catching strays, but you caught his attention. Jericho is trying to intimidate a man in a walking boot and an 11 year old child while spouting nonsense about being the King of New York. Why doesn’t Jericho do what he has asked so many others in the past: SHUT THE HELL UP!
The fans cheer but Big Bill says, “As the Learning Tree always says, when a man tries to silence another man, he’s probably afraid of the truth.” The fans do cheer Big Bill because he is from New York. Bowens says he has no idea what that means, Bill. But he does know we’re live on TNT, Christmas Collision, Hammerstein Ballroom, New York City! So Chris, why not walk your ass to this ring and get it whipped by the Scissor King?! Jericho says if Bowens wants him to do that, then not tonight. Jericho waves bye, but AJ says hold on, listen up. We know Jericho is running scared, but we know at some point, Bowens will get to bring the-
Bowens stops the Boom? Because he wants to scissor! AJ says okay, and they SCISSOR BOOM~! But is that true? Will Anthony Bowens be the one to tear down the Learning Tree and be a champion?
Backstage interview with The Vendetta.
Lexy is now with Deonna Purrazzo & Taya Valkyrie, and they’ve got a hot streak going. Deonna’s message last week was ominous, but who was it for? Taya says there are so many options. Everyone deserves a slice of The Vendetta. There’s Mercedes, Mariah, Toni Storm, even Lexy could get some, so watch your back. Speaking of Toni, she stumbles in and apologizes for interrupting. She just wants to say hi to everyone, hello. Oh, Deonna, a pleasure. Deonna says she knows who Toni is. R-Really? So cool! Taya says she’ll make a guess: Toni has a tattoo on her leg, a little duck with a knife through it.
Wow, how’d Taya know? Deonna says no no no, she is not doing this again. She does not get what sick crap Toni’s up to, but she is already done with it. So for Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street, Toni VS Taya! Taya says she’ll make Toni forget everything! Toni nervously thanks The Vendetta, and says this is a big opportunity to face someone like Taya. Toni leaves, Deonna and Taya sigh, and Lexy has no idea what to say. Is Toni’s mind unraveling before our eyes? Or is there still a bit of Timeless inside Toni Time?
AEW Continental Classic, Blue League: Shelton Benjamin VS Daniel Garcia!
This showdown was inevitable, but it’s even more fitting after The Standard of Excellence beat up the TNT Champion just because he stood up to the Hurt Syndicate. Will Shelton continue to bring the pain? Or will he not survive Red Death?
The bell rings and Garcia goes right at Shelton! Garcia fires hands but Shelton RAMS him into the corner! Shelton fires hands but Garcia turns things around to fire more shots! The ref counts, Shelton shoves Garcia back, but Garcia runs up to fire hands! Shelton shoves Garcia again, but Garcia gets under the lariat to waistlock. Shelton fights the lift but Garcia shoves him to SLAP! And CHOP! Shelton just grins and he picks Garcia up again! Shelton TOSSES Garcia away and Garcia goes to ropes. Shelton brings Garcia back up, scoops and SLAMS him, then brings him up again. Scoop SLAM! Shelton drags Garcia up and puts him in a corner.
Shelton whips corner to corner hard and Garcia falls! The fans sing, “We Hurt People!” Shelton drags Garcia around, stomps him around, then TOSSES Garcia out hard! Garcia sputters but Shelton storms outside. Shelton brings Garcia up but Garcia fires hands! Shelton RAMS Garcia into the apron, then railing, then back to the apron! And repeat! Garcia falls in a heap and the fans fire up. Shelton grins as he drags Garcia up, to then THROW into steel steps! Shelton leaves Garcia behind and the ring count climbs on Garcia. Garcia drags himself up at 7 but Shelton goes out after him again.

Tony Schiavone is in the ring!
Schiavone welcomes out the Blue League’s current points leader, Kyle Fletcher, and of course… Don Callis. But they’re not alone as the rest of the Don Callis Family makes their way out to the ring. Wait, shouldn’t Brian Cage be in New York for Final Battle…? Well anyway, Schiavone says there’s a lot of gold and- Callis takes the mic, and he says, “I have something important to say.” The fans boo and Schiavone excuses himself as Callis says the Don Callis Family are the TRUE One Percenters of professional wrestling! They prove it each and every day!
Murder Machines: The most feared tag team in the world! “Don Callis’ favorite wrestler,” Kyle Fletcher, shows every day why he is THE One Percent! He beat Will Ospreay! He beat Kazuchika Okada! And now, he’s gonna beat Daniel Garcia and win the Continental Classic! Callis hands the mic over to Kyle and Kyle says it might be true that last Saturday wasn’t the best day for Kyle, but anyone watching that match saw the clear bias from the officials in this company! The fans boo as Kyle claims there is an agenda in AEW to see the Don Callis Family NOT succeed. But it doesn’t matter, it changes nothing!
Kyle WILL be the winner of the 2024 Continental Classic. That brings Kyle to Daniel Garcia. “You wanna talk about restoring the feeling, Daniel? I couldn’t care less about your feelings! All I speak are facts! And the fact is, I am the hottest young prospect in this industry, and I will be the future of this whole place!” The fans boo more but Callis says one last thing he wants to say, is when you’re the One Percent, you’re not like the other 99! They are not like all of these fans! They are not like “the boys in the back,” like Mark Davis & Will Hobbs, “a couple of scab workers!” They’re not even in the same business, Hobbs!
And Callis has waited to get Hobbs on a PPV so that the world could watch why they call Konosuke Takeshita “The Alpha.” And Hobbs, YOU are not in the same business as Konosuke, and you find that out at Worlds End! But speaking of, here comes the Powerhouse! Will he and Dunkzilla finish things with the Don Callis Family? Or will the AEW International and ROH World TV Champions get even for last week?

Renee is now with the “multifaceted” Harley and notes she’s in action against Willow Nightingale tonight. Harley says yes, she IS multifaceted. She wants us to appreciate ALL her facets!

In steps Penelope Ford, and Mrs. Superbad says yes, she was simply observing. But Ford couldn’t help but notice that she and Harley share a lot of similar… facets. Harley asks how much Ford’s cost. Uh, no, not those…
Ford meant that she hasn’t had such a good 2024, either. So from The Bad Girl to the… Harley doesn’t have a good nickname yet. Well, don’t worry about it. Ford will watch Harley’s back and Harley will watch Ford’s. Wait, is something on Harley’s back? No, Harley… Just good luck. FEEL THE WRATH OF HARLEY CAMERON! No, she was being nice to you, Harley.

Can Brody prove to everyone in the Gold League that the House Always Wins?
My Thoughts:
A great Rampage here for Holiday Bash, though some clear redundancies from last week’s Winter is Coming edition. We got another group Don Callis Promo, and we barely got anything different from Callis and Kyle. The tag match’s only changes were Cage switching in for Archer, even though Cage is in reality defending his ROH World TV Championship in the Hammerstein Ballroom for Final Battle, and then the Callis Family wins this time so Hobbs and Konosuke can be even going towards Worlds End. Now, Konosuke could very well retain the International Championship at Worlds End because NJPW is totally open to Konosuke Takeshita VS Shingo Takagi being Winner Takes All, AEW International and NEVER Openweight titles on the line together.
Lio & Action of course won their match, but the real purpose was to get a confrontation out of them, Private Party and OG Top Flight, Darius & Dante. Good stuff, and it teases anywhere between a Triple Threat to Lio & Action VS Darius & Dante Round 2. Very good promo from Triple J to set up for something, anything really, for 2025. Fight for the Fallen can even be the start of whatever that plan is as part of the “mother of all streams.” And good stuff with the women’s division tonight. Ford & Harley makes a natural duo now given their names, and Willow and Kris could possibly reunite now that Kris is a Face again. That wouldn’t really make up for the weird fumble in the middle where Tony Khan just wanted Kris to get away from Stokely, but hey, this story itself could be really well done.
And great stuff out of Brody VS Komander, really got the drama going before the end. I mean, we all knew Komander was out of the running before tonight, and was most certainly taking the loss here, but Komander got to really show some grit. And now, five people at 6 points going into the final round, they’re really adding great drama to Gold League. Collision tomorrow and then Dynamite Miracle on 34th Street will be some great stuff, but I still think Ospreay should be one of the semifinalists, the second spot can be whoever they want.
My Score: 8.8/10
