Backstage interview with Paul Heyman.
Kayla Braxton is with the Special Counsel, and Solo Sikoa is by his side. Heyman has Kayla stop to say there is no booing his name. Fans still boo anyway. Kayla asks Heyman if he has any idea why Brock Lesnar did what he did to Cody Rhodes. Heyman asks Kayla why tonight is so different from other nights. Heyman will pass over her silly question, and address something far more relevant: Your Tribal Chief, the Head of the Table. The Bloodline main evented both nights of WrestleMania, all thanks to Roman… Reigns! Who is now approaching one THOUSAND days as champion!
Jey Uso applauds as he walks over, and Heyman shakes his hand. The Right Hand Man, Main Event Jey Uso! Jey asks OG Heyman about where Jimmy went. Solo, you seen him? Solo is quiet, and Heyman sighs. Jimmy is not here tonight. The Tribal Chief wanted him to stay home and watch on TV as Main Event Jey, the Right Hand Man, takes out Sami Zayn all by himself! Jey will cement his legacy on the Island of Relevancy by once and for all, by his own doing, solve the Sami Zayn Problem. Jey accepts that, and heads out. But Heyman tells Solo that either Jey solves this problem tonight, or Solo solves their problems tonight. Is this more manipulation by the Tribal Chief?

The Street Profits won the Fatal 4 Way Tag Team WrestleMania Showcase, but the fighting in the tag division doesn’t stop there. The King of Flight is taking on the Warbeard 1v1, who will help their team move up in the rankings?

The One and Only was able to defeat the one Viking put in front of him! But will we see Ricochet and Braun Strowman head towards the tag titles?
Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens talk backstage.
Sami asks if Kevin was just staring at his titles. No… He was leering. Well, that’s fine, Sami stared at his earlier, too. This is surreal! First SmackDown since becoming the Undisputed Tag Team Champions! This is a big night! Kevin says Sami has an especially big night. He’s facing Jey 1v1 tonight. What does that mean? Well, c’mon. This is a great chance to put all this Bloodline stuff behind them. They took the titles at WrestleMania, and now whatever is left to be settled will be settled. Then Sami can be done with Jey. Right? Well, that’s kinda what Sami wants to talk with Kevin about.
Something about all this feels off to Sami. He isn’t sure how to put it. Kevin has a point, but Sami can’t shake this feeling that he has to talk to Jey. What? Why? What could he talk to Jey about? Sami isn’t sure. Kevin is right, they wanted the tag titles, they wanted to watch the Bloodline crumble. They did it all the biggest way possible: in the main event at WrestleMania, for the titles. And yes, now it is all crumbling down, but… Sami may sound weird, but there’s a sense of obligation here. Kevin isn’t sure what Sami’s talking about, but does Sami think he can just waltz in there to have a nice little chat?
Yes, Kevin & Sami won. The Bloodline is crumbling. But what about that makes Sami think Jey will be in any mood to talk? If anything, he’ll be more dangerous, more volatile, more unpredictable. Kevin isn’t sure what Sami is trying to get out of this. But at the same time, Kevin knows Sami, and he won’t be able to talk Sami out of this. But Kevin is just saying, it is a bad idea and Sami shouldn’t do it. Sami says Kevin is right. But Sami has to. Sami says it’ll be okay, and leaves. Kevin is pretty sure Sami said he was right and yet he’s doing this. Will Kevin also be right that Sami is only setting himself up to fail?
Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez VS Shotzi Blackheart & Natalya!
Morgan & Rodriguez are #LivingLarge as the number one contenders to the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships, and they get their shot this Monday Night Raw! But will the Wild Child & Queen of Hart be a tune-up or a speed bump here on Friday Night SmackDown?
SmackDown returns as “The Ballsy Baddies” Shotzi & Natty make their entrance. The teams sort out, Natty starts against Raquel and they both rush in. Raquel runs Natty over, whips her to ropes, but Natty dodges and tags Shotzi. Raquel blocks Natty’s rana, goes to ropes, but then Natty RANAS Raquel out! Natty holds the ropes open for Shotzi to DIVE! Direct hit at the ramp, but Liv HOTSHOTS Natty! Liv calls to Raquel but Shotzi puts Raquel in to cover. ONE, but Shotzi runs in. Raquel scoops but Shotzi tilt-o-whirls, only for Raquel to block! Raquel swings Shotzi around, Shotzi slips free and KNEES!
Shotzi springboards, but Raquel blocks this rana! Shotzi fights as Raquel moves her around, and Raquel puts her in a STRETCH MUFFLER! Tag to Liv, Liv goes up, DRAPING DROPKICK! Liv then runs, to SLING-DDT! Cover, Natty breaks it! Natty drags Shotzi tot he corner, tags in, and she blocks ObLivion! But Liv wheelbarrows to a victory roll, TWO! Natty has it, TWO! Liv rolls Natty, TWO! Natty gets around, GERMAN SUPLEX! Liv staggers up, into the DISCUS! Cover, Raquel breaks it! Shotzi CROSSBODIES Raquel! Shotzi hurries to her corner, Natty tags her in. They bring Liv up, ASSISTED SLICED BREAD!
Natty and Shotzi coordinate again, for the HART- NO, Raquel POUNCES Natty! Liv fights free, gets the boost, TORNADO DDT! Shotzi staggers up, into ObLIVion!! Cover, Liv & Raquel win!
Winners: Liv Morgan & Raquel Rodriguez, by pinfall
#LivingLarge and in charge, it’s another big win for Morgan & Rodriguez! But will they hit the big time against Becky Lynch & Lita?
Madcap Moss plays WWE 2K23 backstage.
Emma cheers her guy on, and even Xavier Woods is impressed. But LA Knight walks in to say it is just games, games and more cockamamie games! But if you watched WrestleMania, then you know there was one glaring omission. See, there was Snoop, there was Bad Bunny, there was Logan Paul. And Knight couldn’t help but think that they were in LA, and there was one man missing. L A KNIGHT! Well, it is WrestleMania, and yet here’s Woods on screen, playing video games! Woods gets up to say he is tired of this deja vu. What is wrong, Knight? Daddy didn’t pat you on the head and tell you you’re special on the big day?
And yet Knight comes in here to complain to them about it, instead of doing something like Woods and creating your own solution. If Knight worked as much as he talked, he would’ve been on WrestleMania. That’s probably why Woods beat him a couple weeks ago. And Woods will gladly beat Knight for money again, because that’s what he needs. Oh, do it again, huh? This isn’t playing a game, buddy. This is LA Knight’s game, YEAH! And then Knight BREAKS Woods’ controller! Knight heads out, Moss keeps Woods back. Will Woods give Knight something to talk about?
Triple H is here!
Portland fires up as The Game heads to the ring! He told us on Monday that despite the business deals going on, the WWE isn’t going away. He gets the mic tonight to say, “I can tell you, as long as there’s breath in my body, that’ll never get old. I know you’ve already been here for awhile, but welcome to SmackDown. And let me just say that there is nothing in the world like WrestleMania. Where the greatest athletes from around the world come to make history on the Grandest Stage of Them All, in a place where hearts are broken, and dreams are fulfilled. And this year, WrestleMania 39 exceeded all expectations.
“It is an event where millions, record setting millions of fans from around the world watched as 161+ thousand fans packed into SoFi Stadium for two nights, breaking every single WWE record that we have.” Fans cheer that. HHH says from viewership to attendance to a gross of $21.6 MILLION, to sales, to sponsorship, to merchandise. “If there’s a record, you name it, we broke it.” Fans cheer that, too. Including digital, almost a BILLION views this week alone. “But as great as WrestleMania was, it is now behind us, and now, we look to the future. And that is why I am out here, to talk about the future. Are you ready?”
Fans cheer, but HHH asks, “ARE… YOU… READY!?” HHH wants to tell us that in just a few short weeks, it is once again time for the WWE DRAFT! “A night that changes the future and the destiny of every WWE superstar in the back. And this year, the Draft will be bigger than it has ever been before, with every single superstar eligible for the draft. And I promise you this, when it is all said and done, this year’s Draft will truly change the game. And speaking of changing the game, let me introduce you to somebody that is doing just that. Fresh of her win over the legendary Charlotte Flair at WrestleMania, please welcome the Smackdown Women’s Champion, THE ERADICATOR, RHEA RIPLEY!”
Fans fire up as Rhea and the Judgment Day make their way to the ring. HHH shakes her hand as they meet on the ramp, as well as Dominik’s and Priest’s. He even Too Sweets Finn! The Judgment Day continues down to the ring, and Rhea lifts the title overhead. Judgment Day then get the mics, and Rhea says, “April 1st, 2023 will go down in history as the night that sports entertainment changed forever. Because Rhea bloody Ripley did the impossible! I destroyed and dethroned 14-time Women’s Champion, Charlotte Flair. So, I think it’s time that everyone rises for Mami!” Fans are torn but there are plenty who rise.
Rhea demands you rise for the biggest star! The most feared woman! Rise for the greatest champion in all of WWE! HAHAHA! Finn then moves things on to Edge. “What sort of a sicko needs to resort to splitting my head open just to get a W? Look who’s the real winner. Because even though I got 14 STAPLES in my head, Edge ain’t nowhere to be seen, and Finn is still standing!” Fans boo because Dom starts talking. Dom is annoyed, but he says, “At WrestleMania, I decided…” The boos get so loud that Dom takes a moment to compose himself. Dom says he decided NOT to show aggression towards his father!
Finn says they’ve got all night, Dom will wait for them to stop. Mami whispers something to Dom and he nods. Fans chant “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” Dom says who really sucks is a father who lays hands on his own son! Dom held back! Dom pulled his punches! Because Dom knew that in the end, he couldn’t hurt his father! He loves his dad! But Dom can’t say the same for Rey. When they stood there in that ring, Dom saw the anger in Rey’s eyes. Dom says it in Spanish, too. But Dom sees where the line is drawn. As far as Rey is concerned, he and the rest of the family can go to hell! Fans boo even more!
Dom tells Rey to take Bad Bunny and his other little friends in the LWO with him. Speaking of Bad Bunny, Priest tells him that he was his friend, but Dom is his brother. Bunny, hopefully you can find it in your heart to forgive Priest. Because Priest forgives Bunny for making him do what he did to him. But here comes Rey! He and the LWO roll up to the ring, ready for the fight! Will the new age Latino World Order put the Judgment Day in their place?
Rey Mysterio & Santos Escobar w/ LWO VS Dominik Mysterio & Damian Priest w/ The Judgment Day!
SmackDown returns and Rey starts against Dom. Fans fire up for this WrestleMania rematch, only for Dom to tag out to Priest. Fans boo but Dom soaks up the heat. Priest and Rey circle, Priest kicks low then CLUBS Rey. Priest DECKS Rey, Rey staggers up but Priest throws body shots and haymakers. Priest stomps away, the ref counts and Priest lets off. Fans boo but Dom soaks it up for Priest. Priest TOSSES Rey to a corner, tags Dom, and the Judgment Day mug Rey. Fans boo, the ref counts, and Judgment Day lets off at 4. Dom soaks up more heat, Rhea is laughing, and Dom stomps Rey to a corner.
Dom whips Rey corner to corner hard! Rey bounces off buckles and Dom eggs on Escobar. Dom rains down fists on Rey! Fans boo but Dom lets off just to soak up more heat. Dom slaps Rey around, brings him up, and CLUBS him again. Dom snap suplexes, covers, ONE! Dom dusts himself off and brings Rey up. Dom whips Rey to the corner, runs in but Rey BOOTS him! Rey ELBOWS Priest, slides but Dom catches him! Dom CLUBS Rey, back suplexes, but Rey lands on his feet! Tag to Escobar and he KNEES Dom down! Escobar DECKS Priest, runs in at Dom, but Dom puts him on the apron. Escobar GAMANGIRIS back!
Escobar goes up, CROSSBODIES, and fans fire up! Dom runs but into a BACKBREAKER! Dom tries again, into another BACKBREAKER! Priest storms in, Escobar gives Rey a boost to RANA Priest back out! Fans fire up and LWO builds speed! DOUBLE TOPES! Down goes Dom at the ramp, Priest hits the desk! Rey and Escobar get back in the ring and hug it out while fans fire up! Escobar then puts Rey on his shoulders! The LWO is in control as SmackDown goes to break!
SmackDown returns again and Dom tags Priest so that they can mug Escobar. The ref counts, Priest brings Escobar out to scoop SLAM! Cover, TWO! Priest sits Escobar up into a motorcycle stretch. Escobar endures the knee in his back and the fans rally up. Escobar fights up, elbows free, then fires haymakers! Priest dodges to BELL CLAP! And then FLATLINER! Cover, TWO!

Then LIONSAULTS Dom! Cover, TWO!
Dom is still in this but LWO coaches Rey on. Rey says it’s time, and he dropkicks Dom onto ropes! Rey dials it up, but Rhea drags Dom down to save him! Vega FLYING RANAS Rhea! Fans fire up and Rhea is furious! Vega eggs her on! Rey drags Dom up, Vega has Rhea chase her, and they go into the crowd! Priest tags in, but Rey dumps him out!

Sami Zayn looks around backstage.
He asks a staffer if they’ve seen Jey Uso. Sami’s pointed in the right direction and heads that way. Will the Great Liberator get through to the Right Hand Man before this goes to the main event?
Shinsuke Nakamura is set to return!
The King of Strong Style has been away, revisiting his home of Japan and facing some international icons, but he will return next week in Nebraska!
Sami finds Jey.
Sami says if Kevin was right and Jey doesn’t wanna talk, that’s fine. But Sami has one thing to say before they both go out there. “It’s the same thing I’ve been saying for months. You know there’s a way out of all of this for you, right? You know that.” Jey scoffs but Sami says, “Look, everything I’ve said was gonna happen has happened. I said we would take those tag team titles off of you and that the Bloodline would crumble, and guess what happened? At WrestleMania, we took those tag team titles. And now, the Bloodline is crumbling.
“You don’t believe me, man? Look around! Jimmy ain’t here! Roman’s mad at you! Heyman is selling you lies, and Solo’s looking at you like he’s ready to drop the hammer any second. Man, it’s all, if you don’t see it by now. Hey, if I gotta keep beating sense into you, I’ll do it, man. You want me to beat you like I did at WrestleMania tonight, I’ll do it. I’ll do it next week, until you get it through your head. If that’s how it’s gotta be, that’s how it’ll be. But what I’m trying to say to you, is that’s not how it has to be.” Jey still doesn’t say anything, but then something goes clattering backstage! Sami hurries over, and Solo has attacked Kevin with a road case!!
Sami and staff get the case off Kevin’s leg, but they also keep Sami from going after Solo. Adam Pearce tells the others to get Solo outta here. Kevin won’t be able to go with Sami like this, is this all part of the Bloodline’s plan?
Sami Zayn w/ Kevin Owens VS Jey Uso!
SmackDown returns and Sami is at gorilla. Kayla asks him for an update on Kevin. Kevin’s with the medics, he isn’t available tonight, but… Kevin was right. The Bloodline is even more dangerous now than before. But Jey is gonna see that he’s not the only one who has a problem to solve. Sami makes his entrance, will he show the Bloodline who they’re messing with?
The bell rings and fans fire up already. Sami and Jey circle, tie up, and go around. Sami puts Jey in a corner, the ref counts the break and Sami lets off. Sami tells Jey there’s still a way, but Jey shoves him back. Jey and Sami reset, tie up again, and go around.

The Stallion wants payback for what Solo did to him months ago, is he just another problem for The Bloodline?
My Thoughts:
A great SmackDown After Mania, and a much better follow-up than Raw ended up being. Vince got his claws into Raw, but it seems HHH was able to keep him from doing the same to SmackDown. Not that we got big surprises, like call-ups, because HHH announced we’re getting a WWE Draft. The Draft can be the kayfabe way of bringing up NXT superstars to RawDown, and hopefully doesn’t tank stories like it has in the past. For one, it should be used to officially bring Rhea & Judgment Day over to SmackDown now that she’s champion. She’s got the brand’s title, the group’s feud is over here with Rey and now the LWO, it just makes sense.
Also, really good promo from the Judgment Day, and a great match between Dom & Priest VS Rey & Escobar. I thought Vega bringing Rhea away from ringside was going to help LWO win, but no, Dom and Priest are still sneaky enough to turn things around. Maybe Vega just ends up Rhea’s first challenger to give her a match at Backlash. It’s very clear that Bad Bunny & Rey, and possibly even Escobar, will face Dom, Priest and maybe Finn for a real good tag match, so why not have the women’s champion get involved? Also, another good promo from HHH, though outside of mentioning the Draft, he was more vague than he was on Raw.
Great opening Six Man from Imperium VS Brawling Brutes to not just revisit their feud from last year, but to also set up another go. Sheamus and Gunther still have a lot to give, that’d be a great match for Backlash, but a big moment like Sheamus’ Ultimate Grand Slam happening at Backlash? I can’t be sure they’d do that, even if it is HHH calling the shots. Really good match from Ricochet and Ivar, a little surprised we didn’t get the flipside of Braun VS Erik but maybe that’s next week. And really good promo from Knight and Woods, though that was the exact same set-up as last week. Knight really should’ve been part of WrestleMania, but whatever, rumor has it that was another Vince call.
Good tag match tune-up for Liv & Raquel against Shotzi & Natty, aka a team that also didn’t win the Fatal 4 Way Showcase. Tegan Nox is back, I’m surprised HHH hasn’t tried to salvage the team-up of Nox & Shotzi. Liv & Raquel probably aren’t winning the titles on Monday, even if HHH is calling the shots. Ronda’s elbow injury seems to be the only thing in the way of her and Shayna challenging Becky & Lita, so any number of teams might get their turn before Ronda’s 100% again. It’s also a shame that Chelsea Green is out again, this time with a distended gallbladder. The Hot Mess can’t catch a break, but let’s hope she can return quickly.
Great to hear Shinsuke Nakamura is on his way back. The King of Strong Style has been keeping active in Japan but he deserves something good in the WWE. I’m not sure what he’ll be able to get right now, though, with Roman’s reign still strong, and both midcard champions also in their own things. Maybe Nakamura moves to Raw to face Austin Theory for the US Championship? And then we got great stuff from The Bloodline saga again. Sami knew Kevin was right but then it was Kevin getting beat up by Solo. Great match for the main event, and great tease of dissention as Jey stops Solo. But also great continuity for Riddle to show up to save Sami. It’s a bit soon for WarGames, but I could see Riddle, Cody, Sami & Kevin VS Roman, Usos & Solo before this saga is all over.
My Score: 8.5/10

Mi nombre es Hangman.” And he asks they excuse his Espanol, it isn’t the best. But Hangman knows that like most White people, he’ll do his best. His familia used to grow tobacco, and they were hard workers. And they had employees who were hard workers, from right here in Mexico City. Those men were also like family! He is thankful that the people of Mexico have invited AEW into their home tonight! The fans cheer, and Hangman thanks them for the collaboration of AEW & CMLL. This is the best pro-wrestling in the world!
Hangman continues by saying that he also wants to make it known about AEW World Champion, Jon Moxley, that while Hangman is not wrestling tonight, and that he is not allowed ringside later tonight for the main event… He will find Moxley after!

As Dax Harwood & Stokely Hathaway make their way out, #BigStoke has a mic and he has them cut the music. Stokely has some good news and some bad news.

MJF w/ The Hurt Syndicate VS Mistico!
The Scumbag only ever does or uses something when it benefits him, and being extremely patriotic for the United States only seems to happen when he wants to stick it to someone not from the United States. MJF waves Ol’ Glory while he, MVP, Bobby Lashley & Shelton Benjamin walk down to the ring, but will he have to wave the white flag of surrender here tonight? Or will MJF somehow screw over the arguably greatest and most beloved man in CMLL?
In fact, to counter MJF being an American idiot, Mistico takes off his Sin Cara mask to reveal the colors of Mexico’s flag and therefore the colors of his people. He also has Me Muero as his theme, and the fans all know that one! The bell rings and the two circle while the fans rally behind Mistico. The two tie up, MJF SHOVES Mistico away, and then MJF soaks up the heat. MJF mockingly claps and then says up theirs! MVP tells MJF to worry about Mistico, not the fans. The fans tell MJF off and MJF tells them to shut up. MJF and Mistico tie up, Mistico SHOVES MJF, and Mistico eggs MJF on! MJF gets up, he and Mistico circle again, and they tie up.

Mistico runs out there to chase MJF, but then the Hurt Syndicate stands in the way!
The fans boo, Mistico wags his finger, and he tells them to part. MJF runs up to ROCK Mistico first! The fans boo but MJF high-fives his guys. MJF says, “Easy! Too easy!” MJF puts Mistico in the ring, smirks while the fans call him more names. MJF swivels his hips, then runs up, but Mistico dodges the knee drop! Mistico runs up to RANA! The fans fire up and Mistico has MJF in a corner. MJF wants mercy, but Mistico says nope! Mistico runs up, but MJF YANKS him into buckles!

Mistico runs, hops on, but MJF stops Code Red to reel Mistico in! POWER BREAKER! Cover, TWO! Mistico survives, MVP says this is still fine, and Grand Slam goes picture in picture. MJF sits Mistico up, and he pulls at the mask! MJF’s lucky this is an AEW based event, CMLL rules say this is tantamount to a disqualification! MJF rips at the eyehole, then clamps on a chinlock.

MJF TOSSES Mistico out, distracts the ref, and the Hurt Syndicate attacks! BARRIER BACKBREAKER from Shelton! Shelton shoves Mistico back into the ring, MJF covers, TWO! Mistico is still in this but the ref is a bit suspicious of the Hurt Syndicate. MVP defends their innocence, and MJF puts Mistico on ropes. MJF CHOKES Mistico, the ref counts, and MJF stops at 4. This lets Lashley CHOKE Mistico and throw hands! The Hurt syndicate gets away with more, and MJF covers, TWO!
MVP tells fans to callete, they saw nothing! MJF stalks Mistico, stomps him on the foot, then has him on the ropes. MJF stomps him more, then soaks up heat. MJF drags Mistico up, scoops and carries him, then SLAMS him down! MJF huffs ‘n’ puffs while Grand Slam returns to single picture. MJF sits Mistico back up, runs the ropes, and then just steps up to pelvic thrust! The fans boo and Mistico is pissed now! MVP says no more trolling, MJF, he’s already told him that! MJF ROCKS Mistico, but Mistico eggs him on! MJF ROCKS Mistico, CLUBS him again and again, but then Mistico blocks to fire off forearms! And KICKS, SOBATS and KICKS!

Mistico rolls through as best he can, and he SNAP POWERSLAMS! Cover, TWO!! MJF survives, MVP is frustrated on his behalf, but Mistico covers again, TWO! MJF is still in this but the fans are still behind Mistico. Mistico stands MJF up and CHOPS! The fans rally, Mistico runs, but MJF SPITS in Mistico’s face! Mistico is pissed, but MJF dodges the haymaker! Mistico blocks MJF’s kick, but MJF POKES Mistico in the eyes!
MJF runs, but Mistico SUPERKICKS! MJF rebounds to FOREARM! Mistico rebounds to hop on, DESTROYER!! MJF staggers but he SUPERKICKS back! Cover, TWO!! Mistico survives, and both men are showing us why they were each record-setting champions in their companies! The fans rally up more and more, “ESTA LUCHA!” MVP talks with Lashley & Shelton, and MJF rises up. MJF goes to the apron, and then up the ramp? Is MJF quitting? Mistico rushes up after MJF, tilt-o-whirl and- NO, MJF stops La Mystica to hit a TOMBSTONEÂ on the stage!! The ref hurries to check Mistico while the fans go nuts!
MVP hurries to check on MJF and tells him to get up. MJF grabs the ref and drags him away to the ring. MJF now wants the win by count out!

The bell rings and the four watch each other. Ricochet tries to bond with Bryce Remsburg over being bald but Bryce isn’t having it. Ricochet and the others all approach center, but then Lio says forget this. Lio goes to a corner to soak up heat, and Ricochet talks it over with the luchadores. They all step up and Lio sees he is surrounded. Lio says hold on, let’s take it easy. But then Ricochet sucker punches Dorada! Ricochet stomps away on Dorada, Lio DECKS Hologram and stomps him, too! The fans boo but Ricochet and Lio soak up the heat. They shake hands and trade luchadores. Then they coordinate, and they run corner to corner to trade again, LARIATS in the corners!

The fans fire up as Ricochet tumbles into Lio at the corner. Dorada runs and rolls off Hologram’s back so Hologram can SPLASH both Ricochet & Lio! Then Dorada runs in for a CYCLONE SPLASH! Then Dorada gives Hologram a boost so he can DOUBLE DROPKICK Ricochet & Lio outta the ring! That leaves Hologram and Dorada to square off. The fans fire up as they go forehead to forehead, and then they speed up! Only for Ricochet and Lio to trip them both up! The fans boo as Lio RAMS Dorada into railing on one side and Ricochet THROWS Hologram into railing on the other! Ricochet soaks up heat while Lio rains down fists on Dorada.
Ricochet THROWS Hologram into more railing, then Lio talks trash. Ricochet soaks up heat, Lio sends Dorada hard into the railing! And in Arena Mexico, these railings are bolted to the floor, there is far less give than AEW’s ringside barriers. Lio puts Dorada in the ring and Ricochet is there to bring him up.

Dorada CHOPS Ricochet against the ropes! Dorada fire sup, runs up the ramp and back down, but Ricochet BACKDROPS him into the ring! Lio CLOBBERS Hologram at the same time!

CMLL Women’s World Championship: Zeuxis VS Mercedes Mone!

Winner: Mercedes Mone, by pinfall (NEW CMLL Women’s World Champion)
Even Mone is a bit surprised, but she flipped things around on Zeuxis and has taken yet another title! Mone holds up the FIVE championships in her collection and the streams fly! Will The CEO only add to her treasury when she and- Wait, speaking of Toni Storm, she’s on the tron! “She’s the kind of woman who always has money on her mind and someone else on her lips. She’s the kind of woman mother takes home to you. With thighs as big as the world and long as a wet dream. One thing she did know how to hold the gold, and not the Acapulco kind, either. She had a date with a Chief Executive Officer who wanted a kiss, but one belt too many.
“Deepthroat some tabasco, baby, it’s time to turn up the heat. There was one chance in a million she would bump into her past, but like everything out of the past, it was all behind her now.” The fans cheer as the noir narration ends, because surprise! That’s… Mina Shirakawa? Because Toni Storm sneaks into the ring from the crowd! The fans fire up as the lady in red takes a sniff of the gold. Mone realizes what’s going on now, and Toni reels her in for a FIVE BELT GERMAN SUPLEX!! Toni goes from Marlowe to Brando to fire off on her contender! The fans cheer as Mone runs away and Toni gives her chase! She gets Mone at the ramp but the refs stop her!
The fans boo and Mone scrambles away through the streamers! One lucky fan gets Mone to hug her as she cowers in fear. Toni grabs a mic to shout, “Let the games begin~!” Toni revels in the streamers while Mone pulls at her hair in frustration! Will the AEW Women’s World Championship be the one belt Mone doesn’t take?

Moxley is frozen in place, and now The Opps & Ospreay get in the ring! The Maniac decides discretion is the better part of valor, and The Death Riders are in retreat. But there’s no running from what’s coming! 24 days remain before All In, will they be the last 24 days Moxley has as champion?
My Thoughts:
Awesome night for AEW’s first show in Mexico, even with things going about how I expected. For one, Mone of course won the title, because why else would they even do this match if not to give her one more belt? Though, what’s wild is that she picked up another belt without much hype or press from AEW. I guess European Wrestling Alliance hopes this gets them some attention. But good stuff with Toni Storm’s noir video and the sneak attack. And I would hope Toni retains the title at All In to keep Mone from going Ultimo Dragon just yet.
Cash Wheeler and Claudio Castagnoli both had travel issues, so I understand subbing people in. But did a 12 Man Tag really need to become a 14 Man Tag for it? And seeing as how I don’t cover CMLL’s own programming, I have NO idea why Atlantis Senior & Junior are getting booed. Is it a “Cena Wins LOL” situation where Junior is winning too much? That’s the only thing I can really think of offhand. But naturally, the Faces of that match won, as The Don Callis Family was rolling last week and needed humbling. I would think we still get Adam Cole VS Kyle Fletcher 2 now, and maybe Kyle wins the title so that the Don Callis Family has something.
Although, Callis seems to be bringing Okada into the fold for whatever reason, so he could end up bringing the “Unified” Continental & International Championship to the family. Okada VS Briscoe was great, and naturally Okada got the win. Mistico VS MJF was great stuff, up until MJF gave up and gave Mistico the win there. I know MJF loves getting heat, but him being the first man to snatch Mistico’s mask away like that is some HUGE heat. Also, I think I said it way back during some feud Penta had in AEW, but are masks really sacred if they’re willing to let them get ripped, stretched, and even yanked away? Or has that been lucha libre kayfabe all along? Either way, great stuff with JetSpeed and the other luchadores showing up, lots of matches set up with that.
Great Fatal 4 Way, and great win for Hologram to stay undefeated, but I will again criticize needing to do money prizes for these things. They should’ve set Hologram up for a title match twice over by now but TK is apparently making Hologram his top undefeated guy. Like if Goldberg was more than just big and strong and could actually do stuff… Also, while they obviously didn’t work together the entire time, I just feel like Ricochet having Lio Rush & Action Andretti become his crew (what with them being CRU and all) is the right move. Or perhaps this story of finding a faction is going to be an ongoing gag that no one likes Ricochet and would never follow him.
Then a great 10 Man Tag main event, though a little redundant considering Anarchy in the Arena was only a few weeks ago. Still good stuff for everybody, especially Mortos since he got to sub in for Claudio. Of course Marina gets involved so that the Heels win, but great stuff with Hangman going after Moxley. Hangman did a great job in his promo speaking Espanol to show respect to the fans. Naturally, Moxley gets away, that’s his whole thing. I really hope Ospreay, Swerve and The Opps keep the Death Riders and Bucks at bay so Hangman doesn’t get screwed over at All In. It’d be garbage if, after all this time and energy, it doesn’t pay off with Hangman as the triumphant hero.
My Score: 9/10
