Backstage interview with Mark Sterling and his stable.
Dasha is with Smart Mark and the expanded Varsity Athletes, namely Ari Daivari, Josh Woods, and the Trustbusters, Sonny Kiss, Slim J & Jeeves Kay. They’re up against the Dark Order, and Mark says he asked for this time to address a problem in ROH. He didn’t wanna bring it up publicly but he felt it needed to be said. The problem here in ROH is The Dark Order. Their infighting about who is teaming with who, why the Righteous is bothering them where Stu Grayson has been, it is putting a strain on the athletes of this roster and Mark’s group has had enough. That is why he put together this super team!
There’s Josh “The Goods” Woods, a four-time All-American wrestler. They’ve got three of “the most prolific and rich athletes on planet Earth” in the Trustbusters. Woods has never teamed with them, but Mark promises we will see “absolute cohesion.” Daivari says that for the last month, The Dark Order has picked a fight with The Trustbusters, with The Varsity Athletes, and now each other. “Fellas, if a fight is what you want, then ask and you shall receive.” But will having a common enemy be just what The Dark Order needs to get back on the same page?
The Righteous VS The Infantry!
Speaking of Vincent & Dutch, they’re in action tonight, as well. Will they prove to Stu Grayson that he should join them? Or will Captain Shawn Dean & #Tattoos&BadNews Carlie Bravo just use them to get up in the rankings?
The Code of Honor is upheld, and The Righteous even hug the Infantry. But Dutch’s snake tongue spooks The Infantry. The teams sort out and Dean starts with Vincent. They circle as fans rally up, and the two tie up. Vincent wrenches, wristlocks, but Dean rolls and kips up to wrench back. Dean then headlocks but Vincent powers out. Dean runs Vincent over and salutes. Things speed up, Vincent hurdles but Dean arm-drags! And arm-drags again! Then DROPKICKS! Fans fire up with The Captain and Dean whips Vincent to ropes. Vincent ELBOWS in return! Cover, TWO! Vincent drags Dean up and underhooks, but Dean wrenches out.
Dean UPPERCUTS Vincent down, then tags Carlie. Dean PENALTY KICKS, Carlie runs, stops and SENTONS! Dean adds a BIG elbow drop! Carlie covers, TWO! Carlie drags Vincent up, wrenches, but Stu Grayson appears! He watches from the stage as Carlie wrenches Vincent and tags Dean. The Infantry double whip, double shoulder, and then split the wishbone on Vincent! Dean ROCKS Vincent, whips him to ropes, but Vincent reverses. Dean holds ropes to BOOT back! Vincent has the ref check him, but it’s a distraction so Dutch can CLOBBER Dean! Carlie protests but the damage is done!
Dutch hopes Stu saw that, he’s all excited. Stu is stoic but Vincent tags Dutch in. Dutch throws hands on Dean, and body shots, then reels him into an EXPLODER! Cover, TWO! Dean is still in this but Dutch’s snack tongue creeps Carlie out again. Vincent notices Stu now, and fans chant “STU! STU! STU!” Dutch tags Vincent, feeds Dean to a KNEE, then CLOBBERS him! Vincent says here comes the sandman, BASEMENT COMPLETE SHOT! Cover, TWO! Vincent drags Dean back up, cravats, but Dean shoves him into Dutch! Tag to Carlie! Carlie rallies on Vincent, Dutch runs in but Carlie dumps him out!
Vincent storms up but Carlie scoops. Vincent slips out, Carlie jukes him out to DECK him! Cover, TWO!! Vincent survives but Stu isn’t impressed. Carlie calls to Dean, runs and tags, then SCISSOR KICKS! Carlie suplexes, Vincent slips out, and Dutch returns for the SCRAPBUSTER! Dean CLUBS Dutch, fires hands, but Vincent nis on him! Dean UPPERCUTS Vincent, but Dutch UPPERCUTS Dean! AUTUMN SUNSHINE!! Cover, The Righteous win!
Winners: The Righteous, by pinfall
Dutch grins and Vincent looks to Stu. Stu has his arms crossed, but The Righteous approach. Vincent asks if Stu sees it now. Dutch says Stu is one of them. Stu seems even more confused than before. What will Stu decide when push comes to shove?
A Fight WITHOUT Honor is coming.
The Kingdom claims ROH as their own, and will not let anyone “use” it to get ahead. Respect and honor mean something to The Kingdom, but they demand respect. Action Andretti & Darius Martin see The Kingdom knows nothing about real respect, with their tactics of post match beatdowns, manager interferences and disqualifications. “Where’s the honor in that?” So forget wrestling, this is about hurting The Kingdom! This is bout making the Kingdom bleed, about making the Kingdom pay, and about making The Kingdom respect them! So that means a FIGHT WITHOUT HONOR!
Maria is pretty sure Darius & Action have no idea what those three words mean. But she knows Mike Bennett & Matt Taven do. Taven says those “Melvins” are too stupid to know that if you threaten anyone, you do NOT choose the #OGK. Darius says throw out the Code, throw out the rules, and watch The Kingdom fall apart. Mike says in the ROH locker room, in THE KINGDOM’S locker room, “respect isn’t owned, it’s rented. And rent’s due, b*tch.” This all goes down next week, who wins and who survives this Fight Without Honor tag match?
Robyn Renegade w/ Charlette Renegade VS Vertvixen!
While the Fallen Goddess defends her gold in the main event, the chase is always on. Will this Renegade turn things around and head for the top? Or will Vert throw a glitch into the system?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and the two circle. They tie up, go around, and Robyn headlocks. Vert throws body shots, powers out, and then dodges Robyn to run her over! Fans fire up as Vert whips, but Robyn reverses. Vert goes up and over and rolls, then sweeps the legs! Vert keeps moving, BASEMENT SHOT! Cover, TWO! Fans rally and Vert brings Robyn up. Vert suplexes but Robyn slips out to waistlock and RAM into a corner. Charlette cheers but Robyn runs into a BOOT! Robyn distracts the ref, and Charlette swipes at Vert! Vert gets her to back off, but Robyn runs in to SHOTGUN Vert down!
Charlette mocks Vert’s pain as Robyn stomps away! The ref counts, Robyn lets off, and Robyn brings Vert up. Robyn CHOPS, then snapmares, and she looms over Vert to reel her into the CAMEL CLUTCH! But she fishhooks Vert so the ref reprimands. Robyn SLAMS Vert down, drags her back up, but Vert JAWBREAKERS! Vert BOOTS, goes to the apron, then ROCKS Robyn! Slingshot somersault and STUNNER! Robyn staggers to a corner, Vert powers up and hits the LEVEL UP BOOT in the corner! Vert keeps the combo going, FLATLINER! Cover, TWO!! Robyn survives but Vert keeps on her. Vert says she’s gonna finish this!
Vert fireman’s carries but Robyn fights free with elbows! Robyn ties Vert up into a COBRA TWIST, then GROUND OCTOPUS!! Vert kicks and flails, she TAPS! Robyn wins!
Winner: Robyn Renegade, by submission
Vert thought it was game over for Robyn but it was turned around on her. The Renegade sisters shake Vert’s hand in a mocking fashion, but that technically upholds the Code of Honor. Will the sisters look to take over ROH both in the singles and tag divisions?
Backstage interview with The Mogul Embassy.
Dasha is with Prince Nana, Bishop Kaun & Toa Liona, and she brings up The Gates of Agony are going to take on Dalton Castle’s Boys. Are they ready? Nana laughs. The GOA? Ready for The Boys? Is there even any athletic ability in The Boys? Hello, ROH bookers, do they know? But storming in is Dalton Castle himself! He shouts about how Brent Tate is covered head to toe in bruises and in the hospital! He doesn’t know who did it, but someone in the Embassy did it! Nana says that’s lies, no one did anything to his Boy! So, are they fine? Dalton says right, okay, yeah, they’re “fine.” For now! But just know that you “silly gooses” made a big mistake!
Castle leaves and Nana says yes, they are silly gooses. HE HAS BRENT’S MASK! The Embassy got away with taking out the competition, but will The Peacock and the Tate Twins get their revenge?
Ninja Mack VS Willie Mack!
Like the McDonald’s menu, it’s a Double Mack attack! Both Macks move fast and kick ass, but who will be The Mack of Honor in this first-time-ever?
The Code of Honor is upheld, the bell rings, and fans cheer for “MACK! MACK! MACK!” The two circle, fans chant “Let’s Go, Mack!” Will and Ninja tie up, Will puts Ninja in the corner but then lets off. Ninja rushes up and ties up with Will again, but Will doesn’t budge.

Six Man Tag: The Mogul Embassy VS Adam Priest, Lucky Ali & Victor Benjamin!
No battle with The Boys, but the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Champions still found competition to replace them. Will The Machine & The Gates of Agony crush these substitutes? Or will they find it was better to battle The Boys they know rather than the guys they don’t?

ROH Women’s World Championships: Athena VS Skye Blue!
The Fallen Goddess called out #ChicagoSkye all because she doesn’t think the young star should even be in an ROH ring. Athena says Skye’s only here because of her body, but Skye says she’s busted her ass every week. Words only go so far, who will win the argument with their fists?
The introductions are made, the belt is raised, and we see who rises and who falls in this main event!

Athena then hauls Skye up, puts her in the ring, and she stalks her. Athena stomps Skye on the back! Athena ties up Skye’s legs and KNEES her in the side, to then bring her into a BOW ‘N’ ARROW! Skye endures the stretch, even as Athena thrashes her around! Skye pops out, covers, ONE!!
Skye gets around, roll-up, TWO! Athena swings, into another roll-up, TWO! Skye rushes in, cradles, TWO and Athena tips it! TWO, Skye has it, TWO! They roll around and around and around, and it ends with Skye on top! TWO!!! Athena escapes in time! Skye runs in to SHINING WIZARD at the ropes, then keeps moving, SHOTGUN BOOT!

Winner: Athena, by submission (still ROH Women’s World Champion)
Skye pushed Athena as far as any woman in ROH has! But in the end, Blue has no gold, but she has Athena’s respect? Athena does offer the handshake, how genuine is it? Skye takes the handshake and the Code of Honor is upheld. Athena raises Skye’s hand in victory, only to CLOBBER her!! And then Athena SMASHES Skye off the belt!! Athena cannot be trusted, but can she be stopped?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of ROH here, but also one that was basically a full two hours, up from their recent runtimes of about 90 minutes. And since there’s no commercials, it really is two hours. And there were quite a few matches that weren’t originally advertised on the official website or official Twitter. For example, the opening match of Mark Briscoe VS Shane Taylor. Great stuff, and I kinda wish we’d gotten this match sooner, but also in the timeline where Mark was ROH World TV Champion already. And I feel like this is meant to tie in with what we saw in the other unadvertised match. Fox VS Henry was great stuff, but it seems it was all so FTR could show up and make the save.
Now, what’s interesting is, we saw Mark & Lucha Bros VS Shane & Workhorsemen before. Is this going to lead to Mark & FTR VS Shane & Workhorsemen this time around? Again, seems rather strange when Mark doesn’t have a title, this feels exactly like a build to Mark VS Shane for the TV title except oops, he doesn’t have the TV title. Samoa Joe has the TV title after winning against Blake Christian in a great match. I suppose Mark can beat Joe, and then Mark can defend it against Shane, but this all feels out of order. Though, that’s not unheard of under Tony Khan, just look at how odd Ricky Starks’ feuds with Chris Jericho and Jay White have been organized.
Another match that caught me by surprise was Claudio & Yuta VS Rhett & Tracy. Really good stuff, and it definitely acts as a tag team tune-up for the Blackpool Combat Club before they face the Lucha Brothers. I almost thought Yuta was gonna mess things up and that’d make Claudio mad and want Bryan as his partner instead. But it makes sense Yuta is Claudio’s partner going into the tag title match, because that is where Yuta can mess up and the Lucha Brothers win to retain their titles. Bryan is bigger than the tag titles, his return to an ROH ring should be for like the Pure title. Imagine Bryan VS Shibata just at all, that’d be amazing.
Good stuff out of the Dark Order and Righteous story. The Righteous get a good win off The Infantry with Stu watching, and then telling him he’s one of them clearly gets in the heads of The Dark Order. The Dark Order still wins in a good match against Sterling’s stable, but there’s a lot of passive aggressiveness from Reynolds towards Stu. I would think now we get The Righteous VS Uno & Stu, Stu betrays The Dark Order because they basically betrayed him, and then we get a Trios of Stu & The Righteous VS The Dark Order. A shame that, for as much as Jon Huber/Brodie Lee meant to AEW, they’ve let The Dark Order fall apart after his death, but at least there would be some strong story to this. Angels just left AEW and Anna Jay just defected to JAS without any real beef.
Good match from Robyn VS Vert, but Charlette being involved is a logical way for Robyn to win while keeping Vert relatively protected. Sadly, neither ROH or AEW has a Women’s Tag Division, i.e. prizes for teams to win, so it makes sense Robyn would start building up her singles momentum. Great match of Mack VS Mack, and Willie Mack winning makes sense. Ninja Mack is pretty busy in a lot of other promotions so Willie is gonna get up the ranks here in ROH. Would love if Willie Mack also got in on the Pure Division, imagine what he could do in a match with Shibata or Bryan.
Great stuff out of Kyle VS Tony, and I like that while Kyle is basically Heel for attacking Cassidy just last night, Tony played Heel because fans were responding positively to Kyle. Great win for Kyle, he and Cassidy are going to have a great match, and who knows if Kyle wins the belt. Good story in the Embassy’s segments. They beat up Brent Tate off camera so that they don’t have to worry about Castle & The Boys in the Six Man Division. And of course they win their match here tonight. I suppose they want us to see Castle & The Boys as the ones to dethrone The Embassy, but I’d rather another trio, like Dark Order or even Stu & Righteous, win those belts.
Great promo from The Kingdom and #TopFlightAction to set up their Fight Without Honor. That is going to be wild stuff, this is definitely the blowoff, and I feel like the winner should go right after the ROH Tag titles. And great stuff out of the women’s title in the main event. Skye didn’t feel like the logical choice for contender, but she did live up to the expectations here. Now, Athena winning was still the expected outcome, and I can’t be sure who dethrones her. At least, here in ROH as it stands. Mostly because they already used Willow Nightingale. As I said last week, if Willow had just been building up without ever approaching Athena, then they could’ve had an awesome match and Willow could’ve had an amazing moment when she dethrones Athena.
My Score: 8.7/10

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?

Myles falls out of the ring, Action handspring kicks him down! Lio DIVES onto Goldy! Action DIVES onto Myles! The fans fire up as Action puts Myles in fast. Lio joins Action and they mug Myles. Myles fights back with forearms and CHOPS! Myle runs, but Lio & Action split the difference. Lio spins Myles for Action to mule kick, knee lift and ROLLING ELBOW! Lio fires fast hands, then DECKS Myles! Goldy springboards but Lio & Action dodge! Lio eggs Goldy on, then he and Action split the difference again!
Action runs up, Goldy dodges, but Lio LARIATS Goldy on the other side! Myles whips Lio but Lio hits RUSH HOUR! Action torture racks Myles for a NECKBREAKER! Lio covers, Lio & Action win!
Winners: Lio Rush & Action Andretti, by pinfall
Fast win for this furious duo, but “Oh my gosh, is that Private Party?” Marq Quen & Isiah Kassidy make their way out here and DC fires up! The AEW World Tag Team Champions call for “SHOTS! SHOTS! SHOTS!” Lio & Action get their shot in the near future, but wait! Dante & Darius make their way out here? Private Party looks to the tunnels, but Lio & Action CLOBBER them from behind! Dante, Darius & Leila don’t worry about the champs, they stare Lio & Action down. Lio & Action hold up the belts, then throw them at the Martins. The refs keep this from getting any more physical, but will Lio & Action take those belts from Quen & Zay soon enough?
Backstage interview with Harley Cameron.
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! Renee says yes, but she has yet to earn a singles win in AEW. Fine, ruin her fun. But then Harley asks if some person off camera is gonna say anything or just stand there. 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. Right, don’t feel the wrath of Harley Cameron. There is nothing on your back, Harley, stop scratching. Wait! W-What? Nothing, sorry. But will Harley be feeling Willow’s wrath instead?

They both beat up on Willow, but here comes Kris! Kris Statlander storms the ring, Harley & Ford run away! Willow is again surprised, but the fans want these two to “Hug It Out! Hug It Out!” Kris says no, she doesn’t feel like it’s the right time. Kris lets Willow have the ring, is this proof that the #BornAgainKristen isn’t just a nickname?
Team Triple J speaks backstage.
Standing alongside Jay Lethal, Satnam Singh, as well as Jeff & Karen Jarrett, Sonjay Dutt says, “They’ve asked us to look back and reflect on 2024, and Jeff, guys, what an incredible series of moments we’ve had in 2024.” The group agrees. From Wembley Stadium to Double J being in the Owen Hart Cup, some true career highlights that he will cherish forever. But Jarrett doesn’t like looking in the rearview mirror, he likes to look ahead. Next week, he’s not bringing resolutions, he’s bringing a game plan for 2025! What does the Last Outlaw have in store for himself and the team in the New Year?
AEW Continental Classic, Gold League: Brody King VS Komander!
While the rest of Gold League stands at 6 points, these two men are struggling to keep up. Will the King of Death join that traffic jam at the front of the block? Or will the Commander of the Skies be a spoiler for Christmas?

If it wasn’t clear before, this was a painful punctuation mark, Komander is mathematically ELIMINATED from the semifinals. However, Komander’s final C2 match is Dynamite’s Miracle on 34th Street against Claudio Castagnoli! Can Komander be the biggest spoiler of this entire tournament? 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

PLAY BY PLAY
Solo Sikoa is here!
The fans boo as the “Undisputed” Tribal Chief leads the Samoan Werewolf and Good Bad Guy to the ring. Roman Reigns put out the challenge for Tribal Combat, and on January 6th, in Los Angeles, for the first-ever Monday Night Raw on Netflix, it will happen! But first, Solo and his Bloodline go to the ring, and the fans chant “O T C! O T C!” Solo tells them all, “ACKNOWLEDGE ME.” The fans boo instead, as expected. Solo lets that slide, and he says, “Roman Reigns sat on his little boat with The Wise Man and decided to challenge me on January 6th to a Tribal Combat match for the ula fala on Monday Night Raw, the debut on Netflix.”
The fans “WHAT?” Solo says instead of saying that, the fans should ACKNOWLEDGE HIM. The fans boo more, but Solo says shut your mouths and listen to what THE Tribal Chief has to say! The fans continue to boo and they continue to chant, “O T C! O T C!” Solo tells Roman that if he wants Tribal Combat, if he wants to take THE Tribal Chief to war, then let’s do it! Solo will leave his Bloodline behind, “WHAT?” Roman will leave his behind, “WHAT?” They’ll leave the Wise Man behind. “WHAT?” Jimmy and Jey, too. So listen and listen carefully: On January 6th, Solo walks in and walks OUT as THE Tribal Chief!
The fans boo more but Solo says on January 6th, he will STILL be the Head of the Table! He will STILL be YOUR Tribal Chief! And he will STILL have the ula fala! So Roman, after Solo beats your ass in LA, Roman can go back out on his little boat, sail off to the Island of Irrelevancy, and Roman can finally ACKNOWLEDGE SOLO. But wait! Drew McIntyre is here!? The Scottish Terminator has already hit Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso and Sami Zayn, but let’s not forget Solo was chief among those who screwed McIntyre out of the world championship. Solo has Jacob Fatu & Tama Tonga stand down as McIntyre goes to the ring.
McIntyre grabs a mic but Solo tells him, “I gotta admit, I was very happy when you kicked my brother, Jimmy, in the face last week. Yes, I was very, very happy. But you better have a damn good reason why you’re interrupting me.” McIntyre says he’ll make it quick because it causes McIntyre physical pain to be this close to Solo and not beating Solo within an inch of his life. You like what McIntyre did to Jimmy? What about Sami and Jey? McIntyre wants to know, when Solo lies in bed at night, is he asking when McIntyre is coming after him? Because Solo is the one that cost McIntyre the title at Clash at the Castle.
Solo is the one who caused McIntyre’s family the pain and misery that caused him more pain and misery! But Solo also stood up to Roman Reigns. The only one to have the balls to stand up to Roman! The rest of them acted tough, acted like they were going to do something, but Roman snapped his fingers, didn’t change one bit. McIntyre’s heart says jump Solo, but McIntyre’s head says he and Solo have the same goal. So here’s what McIntyre is thinking: McIntyre can start working through the hit list, taking out more and more OG Bloodline members, and Solo does one thing for him: Take out Roman for good.
The fans boo but McIntyre says once all that business is finished, then he and Solo can settle theirs. But then JIMMY yanks McIntyre out of the ring! And CRACKS him with the crutch! And again! And then he runs up to CLOBBER McIntyre! McIntyre goes running into the crowd, Jimmy does his best to pursue, but now here comes LA Knight, Apollo Creed & Andrade! The Bloodline has a Six Man Tag on their hands, will Knight even let Solo make it to LA?
Six Man Tag: The Bloodline VS LA Knight, Apollo Creed & Andrade!

Apollo fires up and the fans are with him, then Apollo gorilla presses Tama! The fans fire up and Apollo marches around. Apollo says this is for Solo, and he DROPS Tama! Tama flounders, Apollo brings him over, and he tags in Knight. Knight fires hands on Tama, “YEAH! YEAH! YEAH!” Knight brings Tama around to whip but Tama reverses. Knight catches Tama for a SWINGING NECKBREAKER! Cover, ONE!! Tama is tougher than that but Knight stomps him.

The fans fire up and chant “SI! SI! SI!” Andrade runs in, CIEN SHADOWES! Cover, TWO!! Jacob survives but Andrade keeps his cool. Andrade goes up a corner, MOONSAULT DOUBLE! Cover, TWO!! Andrade is frustrated now as Jacob survives again! Andrade thinks on what to do, and he brings Jacob up. Andrade fires forearms but Jacob grabs Andrade’s neck! Andrade fights free and fires more shots, but Solo sneaks a tag!
Andrade whips, Jacob reverses, but Andrade KICKS Jacob away! Jacob just roars! Andrade runs up, Jacob FLAPJACKS him into Solo’s HOTSHOT!

The sinister samurai made sure to strike from the shadows to screw over Knight, will Knight make sure Nakamura comes to regret it? As for Solo, he is rolling towards the Raw Netflix debut, will he not need his Bloodline to retain the ula fala?
Backstage interview with Motor City Machine Guns.
Byron Saxton is with Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin ahead of the emotional grudge match. Shelley takes on his former friend, student, and the man who betrayed MCMG to take those WWE Tag Team Championships. That man is Johnny Gargano, so what thoughts are flowing through Shelley’s mind? Shelley says it is one thought: Payback. Sabin says they’ve known Gargano almost 20 YEARS, and only now does Gargano let the mask fall away to show us the truth. Shelley says it cuts a lot deeper when it’s someone you considered a little brother. Shelley tells Johnny that he makes sure Gargano knows he made the BIGGEST mistake of his life.
Sabin asks Shelley if he’s ready to do this. Shelley says this is something he has to do alone. He wants to see if Gargano is man enough to do the same. Sabin says okay, let’s get warmed up. Shelley wants a 1v1 shootout with Johnny Wrestling, but will Gargano do anything but do this himself?
SmackDown shares footage from after Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Byron Saxton was with Chelsea Green & Piper Niven and said before anything else, congratulations. Chelsea pats herself on the back, Piper pats Chelsea a bit, too, and Byron takes her back through the closing moments. Unpretty-Her on Michin, the bell rings, and we hear Lilian Garcia say the words, “AND NEW Women’s United States Champion, Chelsea Green.” What went through her mind? Chelsea takes out her gum and puts it in “Bryan’s” hand, and then tells him that she always knew this would happen. He might be surprised, and that’s so cute, but she wasn’t. She’s been doing this for ten YEARS, and worked her entire life to be an overnight success.
This is Chelsea’s time! Red, white and Green! Say it with her, Bryan! #RedWhiteAndGreen. So then, let’s talk the historical significance. Chelsea will now go down in the history books as the FIRST-EVER Women’s US Champion, so how does she’s now synonymous with the likes of Harley Race, the first-ever Men’s US Champion? She would say, “Duh.” She’s in the books where she belongs. Probably should’ve been three years ago, but she was released. It should’ve been way back in 2015, but she wasn’t hired. So now is the time. NOW IS THE FREAKIN’ TIME!! Yes, it is her time. What does a Chelsea Green reign look like going forward?
Chelsea says it looks like she’s going to Disneyland, so she’s got a plane to catch. Can they wrap this up? Of course. Have fun in Disneyland. Yes, well-deserved. Piper calls for champagne. Will we never hear the end of this now that Chelsea has gold to go with the ego?
Kevin Owens speaks.
“What happened after Saturday Night’s Main Event was not my fault. There’s a lot of people to blame for it. Cody Rhodes, the referees, Nick Aldis, WWE Management, they’re all to blame. I was screwed out of winning that championship. What happened to me is a travesty, a tragedy! I should be standing here Undisputed WWE Champion, but I’m not. But I took this (the Winged Eagle belt) because I deserve it. And I’m not giving it back until I get what i want. Everyone needs to understand, you can only push a man so much until they snap. But the good news is, I haven’t snapped yet.
“It can all get so much worse, trust me. You don’t want me to snap. So Cody, Nick Aldis, WWE officials, what happens next is on all of you.” The Prizefighter has said his piece, will he hold the championship hostage until his demands are met?
DIY talks backstage.
Ciampa gets it, Gargano’s known MCMG a long time. So it surprises Ciampa that Shelley is so dumb! He wants this grudge match but he can’t win the tag titles back in a singles match. So what’s he doing? Gargano says Shelley wants his payback, that’s obvious. But Shelley wants to challenge Gargano’s manhood?! Gargano is all man! He made a kid! Yeah, Papa John, Daddy Ciampa, of course they made kids. But Shelley did specify that he wants to do this on his own, so Ciampa knows what that means, right? Ciampa has to stay backstage, too. Gargano will handle business by himself. He’s not some naive 18-year-old kid with a dream anymore! Dream came true!
Gargano will go remind Shelley that he’s Johnny Freakin’ Wrestling! So Ciampa can just relax right back here. Ciampa says go get him! Ciampa won’t even move a muscle from here, you can trust him. Can he? Or is this all another facade to lower everyone’s guard?
It’s an all new Grayson Waller Effect!
A-Town Down Under is already in the ring, and fans boo as Austin Theory & Grayson Waller show off the abs. Waller then welcomes us to the Grayson Waller- And Austin Theory…! Effect. The hottest show keeps getting hotter cuz Waller gets scoop after scoop, lads. And tonight is a big scoop! A big, BIG scoop! The first transfer from Raw to SmackDown, it’s the Monster of All Monsters, BRAUN STROWMAN! The fans cheer as Braun makes his way to the ring, and he’s coming out as Santa Braun! Or perhaps, Strowman Claus? Either way, Braun throws free merchandise to the fans, what a gift for Christmas!
Braun empties the bag and then goes to the ring. Turns out, nothing for Waller & Theory! Waller sits behind the desk and thanks Braun for coming. And how nice of Braun to help all the poor here in Hartford. The fans boo and Braun asks if Waller’s really starting this like that. Is he really trying to piss Braun off already? No no no! Braun is right, it really is nice. And this is big! The biggest acquisition in SmackDown history! On the biggest talk show in WWE history! Braun says it doesn’t get any bigger than this, baby! The fans cheer and Waller says before we start, he knows how this goes, sometimes.
Waller just wants us to know that he invested a lot of money into the new set. Maybe we continue to spread Christmas cheer and have a civil conversation. No damage. Well, if Waller runs his mouth, then Braun can promise he’ll wear Waller out using all the stuff in here. Waller says he’s a bit surprised Braun agreed to this. If no one has said before, but Braun is a little intimidating. But the more Waller thought about it, the more it made sense. Even Braun sees the sense in associating with ATDU! The fans boo and Braun says he threw up a little bit in his mouth, and that get a good laugh.
Waller says okay, but SmackDown’s a bit scary right now. Bloodline is going wild, people are getting attacked backstage, and you don’t wanna be alone in the car park. Sorry, parking lot. Braun asks if Waller knows who he’s talking to. No, he didn’t mean anything by it. Waller just figures, it’d be a good idea if Braun looked after Braun for once. And that means setting up the ultimate alliance. Braun Strowman & A-Town Down Under as the same team! They’d be untouchable! The cunning and intelligence of Waller & Theory, Braun’s strength. Get it? Brains & Braun. Braun says he already told Waller to watch his mouth! Does Waller want his set shoved up his-
Wait! Carmelo Hayes makes his way out here! Braun sighs and Melo says no, no, no, cut this out. Melo has a bone to pick with Braun. Aldis thought he was going to humble Melo by setting him up against Braun. Everybody here knows that that wasn’t fair. But newsflash, Nick Aldis, you can’t humble greatness! Melo might lose, but he’ll never quit. So Braun, “you big ugly dumb Santa Claus b*tch,” let’s run this thing back right here, right now! Cuz now, Melo’s ready! Braun says if Melo didn’t learn his lesson last week, Braun will remind him what the Braun Strowman Effect is! Waller & Theory run away as Braun grabs the fake palm trees!
Braun CHUCKS trees at Melo but Melo just laughs. Will Melo not miss the game winner in this rematch? Or will Braun be the one to humble H1M?
Braun Strowman VS Carmelo Hayes!
SmackDown returns and the bell rings. Braun chuckles at Melo wanting to tie up. They do tie up but then Melo slips around to KICK the leg! Braun just brushes that off as he and Melo circle. Melo uses the ropes and even the ref as a shield so Braun backs off. Melo comes back, taunts Braun, then drops back to ropes. The ref wants Braun to let off, and Braun does, but then Melo sucker punches him! Melo talks smack, then whips, but Braun blocks! B raun shakes his head, whips Melo, but Melo ducks ‘n’ dodges ‘n’ slides out. Melo says safe! Melo says he’s smart, but then gets spooked as Braun storms up to ropes!
The ref has Braun stay back, and Melo gets cocky again. Braun signals to the fans that he’s taking a lap and the fans fire up. Braun goes outside, builds speed, but Melo runs! Melo slides into the ring, Braun gets on the apron, but Melo KICKS him! The fans boo but Melo hits the FADE AWAY! Braun flounders, Melo CLUBS and KNEES and repeat! Braun SHOVES Melo out of the ring! Braun shakes it off then storms back up on Melo. Braun YANKS Melo up by his hair! And then he TOSSES Melo across the way! The fans fire up and Braun drags Melo up again. Braun whips, Melo dropkicks the legs out! Braun falls, Melo runs, FADE AWAY, but into Braun’s hands!
Braun pops Melo up, but Melo SPIKE-RANAS! Braun sputters and Melo soaks up heat. Braun rises up like the monster he is! Melo turns around, Braun runs up, but Melo DUMPS Braun out! Melo BOOTS Braun away, then gets cocky again. Melo goes out the side and he runs up a la Braun. But Braun BOOTS Melo right down! The fans fire up and Braun looms over Melo. Braun drags Melo up, whips him at steps, but Melo goes up! Melo leaps, but into Braun’s arms! We’re at 7 of 10 as Melo slips free! Melo SLAPS Braun! Braun grabs Melo by the neck and TOSSES him into the ring! We’re at 10!! MELO WINS!
Winner: Carmelo Hayes, by count out
Talk about rope-a-dope! Melo steals this win by getting the better of Braun’s anger! Braun scowls at smart-aleck Melo, and he storms in! Melo runs out to the crowd and into the night, but Braun pursues! Will Melo #GetTheseHands one way or another?
Nia Jax and Candice LeRae talk backstage.
They’re both excited for the tag title match tonight, because Nia can become a double champion. Tiffany Stratton walks in and Nia says there she is! Tiff wishes them luck tonight, and cannot wait to be there ringside when the ref raises their hands. Nia gets a guilty look on her face and Candice tells Tiff that they were talking… It’s best if Tiff stays in the back. But hey, she can take some notes if she wants. And if she wants to help, she can prepare champagne, balloons and maybe even streamers. They’re gonna need all that after the big win. So Tiff should get on that while Candice & Nia strategize.
Tiff looks to Nia but Nia just says, “Thanks, Tiff.” Tiff leaves, Nia shrugs off the guilt and says she and Candice are ready. Candice is sure Tiff will have the most beautiful party ready for them. Will the Irresistible Force & Poison Pixie succeed in taking the tag titles for their own? Or will it be Bianca & Naomi having that champagne to celebrate?
Melo returns backstage.
And he’s on high alert knowing Braun is still hunting him down. Melo bumps into Legado Del Fantasma, and then Braun storms up! Braun asks where Melo went. Santos Escobar says screw that, he’s no snitch. Braun says not telling is gonna get Santos worse. Angel steps in and says Melo went that way. Braun thanks Angel and storms off after Melo. But then Pretty Deadly asks Braun to please read through their script. Braun slaps the script down and says he doesn’t care about their stupid musical! But then Melo SMACKS Braun with a chair! And SMACKS him again! Melo talks trash before heading out, but Braun gets back up.
Braun is angrier than ever, and he still hunts Melo down! Is there going to be nothing left of H1M after Braun #GetsTheseHands on him?
Johnny Gargano VS Alex Shelley!
Longtime friendships thrown away in order to get ahead is practically cliche in pro-wrestling, but to think Johnny Wrestling would be the kind to do that. Will Shelley make Gargano regret ever treating 20 YEARS like it was nothing?
The bell rings and Gargano runs up! Shelley dodges to fire hands, then he bumps Gargano off buckles. Shelley stomps a mudhole in, then stands Gargano up to dig his forearm in! The ref counts, Shelley lets off, then he climbs up to rain down fists! Gargano YANKS Shelley down! Shelley flounders, Gargano CHOPS Shelley to a corner, then he mocks the MCMG hand pointing. Gargano CHOPS Shelley, ROCKS him, then wrenches him to whip corner to corner. Gargano runs up but Shelley ELBOWS him away! Shelley goes up to FLYING KNEE! And then he CLOBBERS Gargano! The fans fire up as Shelley drags Gargano up.
Shelley wrenches, hammerlocks, but Gargano elbows free! Gargano brings Shelley around to schoolboy ROUNDHOUSE! Shelley sputters, Gargano brings him up, and Gargano says he’s no longer the student. Gargano ROCKS Shelley, stomps away, but stops as the ref counts. Gargano soaks up heat, then shakes out his left hand before he runs up. Shelley puts Gargano on the apron to HOTSHOT! Gargano falls, Shelley aims, and Shelley slingshots to stomp Gargano’s bad hand! Gargano staggers away, but runs back up on Shelley, only for Shelley to jump the sweep! SUPERKICK! Then FLYING KNEE!
The fans fire up while Gargano goes down, and Shelley says that’s what Gargano gets while SmackDown goes to break.
SmackDown returns and Gargano has Shelley in a clinch. Gargano fires body shots, then he hits a JAWBREAKER! Gargano goes to a corner, Shelley runs up, but Gargano BOOTS back! Gargano runs up and slips around Shelley to SLINGBLADE BACKBREAKER! Cover, TWO! Gargano is frustrated but he stalks Shelley to the apron. Gargano brings Shelley up, talks more smack, and he fireman’s carries. Shelley slips out but Gargano ROCKS him! SLINGSHOT- SUPERKICK! Shelley takes Gargano out of the air and both men are down! The fans rally up, and Shelley stands to CHOP! And CHOP! And CHOP again!
Shelley CHOPS, whips, then kitchen sink knees! And then PENALTY KICKS! Ghost pin, TWO! Gargano escapes, but Shelley wants the arm! Shelley uses the Garga- NO, Gargano turns chicken wing into roll up, TWO!! Shelley escapes, clinches, and spins Gargano, ASAI DDT! Cover, TWO! Shelley wants the arm again!

Gargano scoops Shelley, takes aim at a corner, LAWN DART! Cover, TWO!! Shelley survives and the fans rally up! Gargano grows frustrated but he brings Shelley around. Gargano wants the arm now! GargaNO Escape, but Shelley says NO to that! They both fight up, end up in a corner, and the ref counts. Gargano lets off, to then ROCK Shelley with a cheap shot! Gargano runs up, but into a BUCKLE SHOT! Shelley shakes out the stars and he goes to the corner. The fans fire up as Shelley climbs, but Ciampa shows up! Gargano GAMANGIRIS Shelley down! But wait, here comes Sabin! Ciampa violated the deal first so Sabin’s not letting him do worse!
Gargano climbs up while Sabin chases Ciampa off, but Shelley SHOVES Gargano! CROSSBODY! Gargano rolls through, and pulls tights! Gargano wins!!
Winner: Johnny Gargano, by pinfall
Distraction tactic and pulling the tights? Gargano has no shame! But he and Ciampa have the WWE Tag Team Championships, so is that all that matters?
Backstage interview with Bianca Belair & Naomi.
Byron Saxton is at gorilla with The EST & The Glow, and before they head to the ring, he wants to recap the crazy couple of weeks. The mysterious attack on Jade Cargill, the big win at Survivor Series in WarGames, and now they can solidify themselves as WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions. Bianca says these past few weeks have been rough to say the least. And while you can trust Bianca will find out what happened to Jade, you best believe they won’t be stripped of the tag titles. That’s just what the culprit wants and Bianca isn’t going down without a fight. Thankfully, Bianca has a friend who always has her back.
Naomi says yeah, she’s got her back forever! And she can never turn down a good “snatch ‘n’ drag.” But she also knows how important these titles are to Bianca & Jade, and they’re just as important to her. Naomi will go out there and do everything she has to in order to keep the titles. Bianca holds out Jade’s belt to Naomi, but Naomi says no. Not until she’s earned it. Bianca says okay, and the music hits. Naomi is fired up, will this be the StrongEST Glow yet?

Winners: Bianca Belair & Naomi, by pinfall (still WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions)
Tiff’s hesitation costs Nia, and that means Naomi has earned that title belt! Bianca personally hands it to her and the two celebrate together. Will they hold onto the titles all the way ’til Jade is back in action? Or will a team come along that outshines even the StrongEST Glow?
My Thoughts:
A great episode of SmackDown here, though I think it was also prerecorded. They were in Hartford last week, weren’t they? And I thought that was prerecorded given how Jimmy Uso’s promo was received… But speaking of, good stuff from Bloodline to open. McIntyre calling a true with Solo was a bit of a surprise, but I suppose we should’ve seen that coming with how McIntyre is a Heel and often a hypocrite. Jimmy going after McIntyre was also good stuff, he can clearly still be a factor even with a bad toe. Very good Six Man Tag, too, but I should’ve known Nakamura would interfere and cost Knight’s team. Good win for Solo, and we’ve still got a couple weeks before Raw on Netflix, so the go-home math will still sort out with the first SmackDown of 2025.
Very good promos from MCMG and DIY, and of course Ciampa still went out to ringside despite the “promise” he made. And of course Gargano cheated, but that adds heat to the coming tag title rematch. They might even put that on the first SmackDown of 2025 to hype it up. Especially as I think it’s going to be the first THREE HOUR SmackDown. NBC is willing to do that knowing Raw is going to Netflix, meaning SmackDown will get more time to do more great things, which works with all the belts we’ve got now.
Good stuff with Braun and the Grayson Waller Effect, but of course we set up more between Braun and Melo. Clever move for Melo to win by count out, and of course Melo gets cocky for it. Braun was almost classic Braun with how he shrugged the chair shots off backstage. We’ll of course get one more Braun VS Melo, and maybe someone from Legado or Pretty Deadly screws Braun over given how he treated them. Very good promo from Chelsea after her big win on Saturday, and I’m sure she’ll be celebrating this win in both kayfabe and real-life through the holidays, ready to start her first title feud on January 3rd.
Very good promo from Kevin Owens, but I feel like he had to contradict himself here from what he said during the Raw on Netflix “kickoff show” on Wednesday. Kevin said then that he’s going to act as the defending champion with the holiday house show tour, but he said here he isn’t the champion since he got screwed. Either way, he’ll really play up how he is somehow the victim in all this, making the return of Cody Rhodes all the better. We’ll surely get one last match of Cody VS Kevin, maybe with a big stipulation on it, and then we’ll have a moment of (more than likely) Cody holding up both Winged Eagle and corporate logo championships.
And of course, very good stuff in the two main Smackdown women’s stories. That promo from Nia, Candice and Tiff was really good because you kinda feel for Tiff being treated as the odd one out. And then very good promo right before the match with Bianca & Naomi. I like Naomi wanting to earn the belt, and we got a great tag match. Nia surely got busted open “hard way,” aka legitimately, that post surely has edges you gotta watch out for. But Tiff showing up was of course for the briefcase distraction, not cashing in. Tiff hasn’t been pushed that far yet, that might come with the Netflix debut. But Naomi & Bianca of course retained the titles, that’ll cue up Jade making a return to identify her attacker, and it might be Naomi after all…
My Score: 8.8/10
